How many possessions does Beiyang's richest man have?
There are different opinions on how much property Zhang has: according to the statistics of People's TV Daily, it is 50 million yuan, but some people say it is 90 million yuan, and some even say it is as high as 1 100 million yuan. We have no way to verify the accuracy of these specific figures. In fact, I'm afraid it's hard for even Zhang to know the exact amount of his property. We can only speculate on how rich this wealthy businessman warlord really is from some sporadic historical materials.
In addition, during the Zhang period, Northeast China was independent of Shanhaiguan. As the highest official in Northeast China, he is actually a local tyrant in Northeast China. Therefore, for Zhang, it is often difficult to distinguish between personal private wealth and public wealth. This paper can only make a rough statistics from the Zhang family's private wealth recognized by the society.
House/building property
As early as the period of Zhonganbao, Zhang built a large-scale residential building. /kloc-bought a mansion in Xinmin house in 0/905. 19 16. Just after gaining a foothold in Fengtian City, Zhang built a house with three entrances and four exits on the basis of the old house at the south gate of Li Ronghou. This house is built according to the specifications of Wang Fu, and it is very luxurious. Since then, with the promotion of his power, he has built a small brothel combining Chinese and western culture and a large Youchayu brothel in the East Courtyard. Shuaifufu and Bianxing Building were built outside the courtyard, and Beiling Villa was built in Fengbei. In the area of Wujing Street, a commercial port, a luxurious three-story building was built for Wufu Life Insurance and his sixth wife Ma Yueqing. The famous Shuncheng is also Zhang's property, which cost 70,000 silver dollars. When Zhang was killed by bombing, his real estate was not only spread all over the northeast, but also bought some villas and luxury houses in Beijing and Tianjin, just like the movie Nanjing! Nanjing! "Mr Rabe's office building was built by Zhang's fourth wife, Xu Shuting, in Tianjin.
According to the incomplete statistics of 1949 of the Household Registration Section of Shenyang Real Estate Bureau, there are 10 sets of buildings and 409 bungalows in Zhangjia Real Estate in Shenyang alone.
real estate
Zhang has more than 1 100 plots in Beizhen, more than 500 plots in Montenegro,126,000 plots in Tongliao West, 45,000 plots in Liaohe River and nearly 20,000 plots in Heilongjiang River. In the 1920s, the market price of the land with good traffic conditions and fertile soil in the northeast was higher than that in 50 yuan. Calculated by the lowest 50 yuan, the value of this 200,000 mu land is10 million yuan. Zhang zai's land will not be idle, but rented to farmers. At that time, the rent was generally 1 stone to 2 stones. Let's calculate by 1.5 stone. His 200,000 yuan can collect 300,000 stones every year, each stone is 460 kilograms, and 300,000 stones is1380,000 kilograms.
bank deposit
/kloc-When Guo Songling rebelled against Feng at the end of 0/925, the Japanese had investigated Zhang's property. "I found that Zhang's cash deposited outside Fengtian was 4 million from Bank of Korea, 2 million from Zheng Jinyin Bank, 0/0 million from Tianjin/KLOC and 0/0 million from Shanghai HSBC." "The tickets deposited by the two banks of Fengtian' Manyin' and' Zheng Long' should be 1 million yuan and 1.5 million yuan." In view of Japan's developed intelligence system, I think this set of figures should be accurate. From these banks alone, it can be seen that Zhang's deposit, that is, working capital, is at least 28.5 million yuan. But this is only in the name of Zhang. I'm afraid there will be a lot of deposits in the names of his wife and children.
Industry and commerce
The Zhang family has set up three-club chain stores in northeast China, involving pawn shops, grain depots and oil mills. And the distribution range is all over the three northeastern provinces, with dozens of large and small.
Zhang Zuolin has successively invested in the name of himself or Zhang Xueliang: Badaohao Coal Mine, Hegang Coal Mine, Zhongxing Coal Mine, Xi 'an Coal Mine, Fuxian Fuzhou Coal Mine, Xingcheng Yushugou Coal Mine, Xingcheng Fuerhougou Coal Mine, Fuxin Coal Mine, Jiaohe * * * Mountain Coal Mine Co., Ltd., Abundant Printing Stone Mining Company, Yongxing Iron Works Co., Ltd., Haicheng Daling Talc Mine, Ji 'an Ma Bao Gold Mine, Tieling County East.
Other industrial and commercial enterprises invested or operated by Zhang include: Daheng Iron Works, Daye Iron Works, Shipping Co., Ltd., Ningguta Power Station, Hengyuan Silk Factory, Kiln Company, Toyota Spinning Factory, Bawangsi Alkali Factory, Huilin Match Company, Dachangxing Military Clothing Factory, Meixiang Shejun Military Clothing Factory, Kuishengjun Clothing Factory, Toyota Oriental Grain Depot, Toyota Grey Shop and Tianjin Hengyuan Textile.
In addition, the Zhang family has some houses, land and businesses under the names of his wife, children or cronies. I'm afraid Zhang himself can't tell how much such property there is.
In addition, we can also find some evidence from some scattered figures in other materials. Guo Songling rebelled, and Zhang prepared to flee to Dalian. Twenty-seven cars were loaded with gold and silver treasures and sent to the warehouse of Nanman Station for preservation. After the "September 18th Incident", Zhang Xueliang's private property was only robbed by the Japanese army of gold and silver amounting to 250 million yuan. However, Zhang Xueliang was in charge of the Northeast for only three years, so most of it should have been accumulated during the Zhang period. From this, we can fully imagine how strong the personal economic strength of Zhang and his son is.
Zhang is a very smooth person. During the Russo-Japanese War, he helped everywhere and attacked everywhere. Neither Russia nor Japan dared to offend him. Of course, he offended both sides. During the Russo-Japanese War, he handled well between the Qing court, Japan and Russia. He took a negative attitude towards the "neutral policy" of the imperial court, and took a two-pronged, opportunistic and profitable position against Japan and Russia in the fierce struggle. After tempering in a complex environment, Zhang has developed the ability to deal with several enemies at the same time.
