Who's Kong Xiangxi?

China people's wallet-Kong Xiangxi, the richest man in China.

1943 In March, Ma Yinchu, a famous scholar who dared to speak out, gave a speech at the invitation of the Army University. He said: "In today's life-and-death moment of the Chinese nation, the' inferior people' contribute, the' middle people' pay, and the' superior people' neither contribute nor pay, but also hoard and make a fortune. What a nuisance! There is also a "master" who uses his power to buy foreign exchange in large quantities, profiteering and making a windfall. The "upper class" where pigs and dogs are inferior are Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen. They should be dismissed and all their property should be used as funds for the war of resistance. "

Ma Yinchu's criticism was directed at the "four big families" that attracted people's attention at that time. Later, in many speeches, he made a fierce attack on the "upper class" such as Kong Xiangxi and others who were inferior to pigs and dogs. The voice of conscience can't stop the greed of a few giants in those days, even to the point where they can't stand it. 1942, the Kuomintang government used the US$ 500 million lent by the United States to withdraw US$ 1 100 million as a reserve, and issued the "Alliance Victory Dollar Savings Certificate", which stipulated that RMB 20 yuan should be purchased for the 1 dollar savings certificate, and the coupon money would be converted into US dollars after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, the black market price of US dollar was already 11RMB1USD. On the one hand, Kong Xiangxi ordered to stop selling US dollar savings certificates. On the other hand, his subordinates stepped forward and used their power to buy unsold US$ 3.5 million savings certificates at the official price and pocketed them. There are also $7.995 million deposit certificates, which were purchased by other central bank personnel for private issuance. It is estimated that Kong Xiangxi earned at least 3 billion French francs in this scandal. This is Kong Xiangxi. When the country is in danger and the people are hungry and cold, they rely on power to speculate and collect money. It can be said that people in poor countries are rich.

Kong Xiangxi, the richest man in the Republic of China, never admitted that most of his property came from the people's wealth, but his wife Song Ailing explained to people many times before entering politics that their property was accumulated by doing business in his hometown in Shaanxi. In fact, Kong Xiangxi was born into a declining merchant family. I also picked up cinders in my early years. Later, he went abroad to study and accumulated a certain amount of property in business, so he was called "the richest man in Shanxi". However, he really made his fortune after he became an official, or rather, after Jiang married Song. He has held important positions in industry and commerce, industry and finance, and was in charge of finance 1 1 year. According to the FBI, Kong Xiangxi's operating income in that year only cast three "irrelevant" of 1000 taels of silver, namely 3000 taels of silver. This is millions of times different from the wealth he and Song Ailing have today. Truman, the president of the United States, said that the property of the Kongs we saw today was not owned by an ordinary rich man in China in 1920, and even a monarch in the Qing Dynasty could not have such huge financial resources. 1939 an American reporter broke the news that Kong Xiangxi's wife, Song Ailing, has the largest deposit in the United States among all Chongqing government officials, and is called "China people's wallet".

1On February 7th, 942, the U.S. Congress approved an unconditional loan of $500 million to China. By the end of 1943, the government of China had withdrawn about half of the US$ 240 million. However, according to the survey data of the US Treasury Department, of the $240 million withdrawn by the China government, $80 million was deposited in the personal accounts of Kong Xiangxi and others, which shows the depth of their greed! Just as Fu Sinian, a famous scholar, published an article entitled "On the Necessity of Eradicating the Capital of the Giants" in Observation magazine published on June 3, 1947, he pointedly pointed out: "Today's bureaucratic capital, of course, is to push Kong Song", "The ancients said" turning the country into a country "and now it is" turning the country into a home ".

The emergence of Kong Xiangxi, the richest man in the country, is an evil representative of the evil times, representing privilege above all else, democracy above * * *, and officials above the people. After eight years of hard fighting, the people were miserable, but they didn't expect to have a rich official. 1947 in may, college students erected a placard opposite the executive yuan of the national government, which read: "the sky is crying, the people are thin and the officials are fat." The corruption of government officials has reached the point of widespread indignation and resentment. The era of "thin people and fat officials" is doomed to be abandoned by the people, and history has also proved that the people's hearts cannot be violated and cannot be bullied.
