According to Zhang Xueliang's memories in his later years, he said, "You should know how big my fortune is in the Northeast. I haven't talked about it. Although my money at that time could not be said to be 100 million, I had 50 to 60 million properties anyway. "
Zhang Xueliang believes that his property, that is, Zhang's assets, is probably between 50 million and 654.38 billion yuan.
Of course, this is only an estimate.
Perhaps because there are too many possessions and the distribution is too scattered, Zhang Xueliang is not particularly clear about how much money there is at home.
There are three statements about Zhang's assets:
One: 28.5 million yuan.
1925, Guo Songling rebelled against Feng, and the Japanese took the opportunity to investigate Zhang's property: Zhang's cash deposited outside Fengtian was found to be 4 million from Bank of Korea, 2 million from Zhengjinyinhang, 0/00000 from Tianjin/kloc, and 0/00000 from Shanghai and Shanghai Banking Corporation/kloc. "。 " The amount of coupons deposited in the two banks of Fengtian' Manyin' and' Zheng Long' should be 6,543,800 yuan and 6,543,800 yuan, totaling about 28.5 million yuan.
This figure is less than half of the lower limit estimated by Zhang Xueliang. However, this asset is only a deposit in Zhang's name, and Zhang did not deposit it in the name of his relatives before his death. How much is this? Moreover, Zhang has many valuable real estate and other assets. Therefore, 28.5 million yuan is definitely only the tip of a huge wealth.
Second: 50 million yuan.
According to the property list listed by 1926 People's Daily, the private property of 7 1 bureaucratic warlords in Beiyang period reached 630 million yuan, while Zhang monopolized 50 million yuan, ranking first. This figure is at the lower limit of Zhang Xueliang's estimated property.
But as you know, according to the statistics of People's TV Daily, this can only be Zhang's public property, or the property that can be found. How many unknown attributes are there?
Third: 300 million yuan theory.
After the September 18th Incident, the Japanese army captured the three northeastern provinces, and Zhang's property in the northeast fell into the hands of the Japanese army. According to Japanese statistics, more than 80,000 gold bars were found from Dashuai House, amounting to 2.56 million yuan. Found all kinds of jewelry and antiques. Zhang Xueliang's banks, money houses and real estate in Northeast China were seized by the Japanese army.
According to scholars' estimation, the value of only 2.56 million gold bars is as high as 260 million yuan. If the Japanese data is correct, Zhang's assets may not be less than 300 million yuan.
According to other data, Zhang can still withdraw 50 million cash in his later years. It can be seen that Zhang's assets are likely to exceed 654.38+0 billion, if not 300 million.
But whether Zhang's assets were tens of millions or hundreds of millions, it was undoubtedly a huge sum at that time. How did Zhang amass such a huge fortune? This has to mention Zhang's asset composition.
According to the data, there are three statements about Zhang's assets:
1. Cash: Zhang's salary income.
As the king of the northeast of the Republic of China, Zhang's salary is not low. At 192 1, he had a talk with American professor Meng Lu. During the conversation, he mentioned his salary: "My money is 1600 in the east campus (the governor's salary should mean 1600 dollars) and 65438 in the west campus.
Of course, as a rebellious warlord, Zhang's cash income inevitably includes the "filial piety" of local officials and businessmen, but this amount cannot be counted.
Second, antiques, jewelry and other luxury goods.
After the September 18th Incident, the Japanese army invaded the Dashuai mansion and seized countless kinds of jewelry and antiques. So, how many?
It is said that among the Japanese who plundered Marshal House, a man named Benzhimao had a good friendship with Zhang Xueliang, and he planned to return the antique calligraphy and painting of Marshal House to Zhang Xueliang. At that time, Zhang Xueliang was in Beiping, so Ben Simao decided to transport these assets to Beiping by train and loaded two trains.
However, Zhang Xueliang did not accept this asset, but let it return to the original road. Because Zhang Xueliang believes that "I am a soldier, if I fight to protect my property, it is equivalent to humiliating me."
Three: real estate: real estate, farmland.
Real estate: Zhang Zuo Lin liked to buy real estate before his death. His biggest house is the Dashuai House in Shenyang. Dashuai House was built in September of the third year of the Republic of China (19 14), with a total area of 36,000 square meters and a total construction area of 27,600 square meters.
Since then, it has been continuously expanded, and gradually formed an architectural system consisting of four parts: the East Courtyard, the Intermediate Court, the West Courtyard and the buildings outside the courtyard, including the Daqing Building, the Xiaoqing Building and the Red Building Group in the West Courtyard. Each building has different styles, including China traditional style, Chinese and Western style, Roman style, Nordic style and Japanese style.
Land: Zhang now owns a lot of land. According to the data, Zhang has more than 1 100 land in Beizhen, more than 500 land in Montenegro,126,000 wasteland in Tongliao West, 45,000 wasteland on the bank of Liaohe River and nearly 20,000 wasteland on the slope of Heilongjiang.
4. Enterprise shareholding: Its shareholding enterprises mainly involve banks, textiles, ships, coal mines and other industries.
Bank: The largest bank before Zhang's death was the Frontier Bank founded by Xu Shuzheng on 1920. At the beginning of the bank's establishment, the total capital was 6,543,800,000 yuan, divided into 6,543,800,000 shares, of which 30,000 shares were subscribed by the government and 70,000 shares were raised by the private sector, and Cao Kun, the direct warlord, was the largest shareholder at that time. Later, due to Cao Kun's defeat in the Zhifu War, Zhang took over the border line, and Zhang contributed more than 5 million yuan, with Zhang Xueliang as the chairman. On the eve of September 18, the total assets of the border bank reached 60 million yuan.
Textile: 1924, Zhang won the second direct battle. Later, he withdrew all the shares of Tianjin Hengyuan Textile Company, and then established Fengtian Spinning Factory, the first textile company in Northeast China, with Peng Xiangting, his private property manager, as the supervisor.
Steamship: 19 19. Zhang Benzheng's steamship company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Zhang took out 300,000 northeast dollars to help the company tide over the difficulties. Subsequently, 300,000 northeast yuan became Zhang's share capital, and the company paid dividends to Zhang until Zhang died. After Zhang Xueliang reached the summit, he recovered the principal and interest from Zhengji Shipping Company, and the cooperation between the two parties was terminated and dividends were stopped.
Coal Mine: Zhang owned shares in Badaohao Coal Mine in the northeast of Montenegro in his early years. Later, Badaohao Coal Mine was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management. The boss asked Zhang for funds, and Zhang took out huge sums of money to save it. However, unable to repay more and more debts, he had to mortgage the coal mine to Zhang. After Zhang took over the coal mine, he successively entrusted Yan Tingrui and Wang to operate it, so that the daily output of the coal mine reached several hundred thousand tons.
