Chapter 1151: Coercion and Temptation
Teppei Ito also understood at this time that Fujiwara Tomohito saw himself this time, it was by no means as simple as simply appreciating himself, but what would this powerful man have to talk about when he found himself?
He was suddenly a little nervous, and respectfully waited for the other party's words.
Ning Zhiheng waited for Takayuki Takano to go out, and the door closed again, then he smiled and said slowly: "Ito-kun, I can't hide it, I invited you to come this time because I have an important matter to discuss with you." ”
Tetsuhei Ito was prepared, hurriedly bowed down and nodded, and said, "Please Fujiwara-kun command, as long as I can do it, I will do my best and never shirk." ”
"Okay, Ito-kun is really refreshing, then I'll be blunt!" Ning Zhiheng nodded happily and smiled.
"I heard that Ito-kun came to Shanghai this time to be commissioned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to engrave the currency to be issued by the Central Reserve Bank of the Nanjing government, the core engraving work of the Central Reserve Bank, and the engraving work of the revision of military bills, right?"
As soon as Ning Zhiheng's words came out, Ito Tetsuhei's heart immediately tightened, although his mission to Shanghai was secret, but for a figure like Fujiwara Tomohito, there was no secret.
At this time, he vaguely guessed the other party's plan, hesitated slightly, nodded anyway, and replied: "That's true, we have just completed the revision and engraving of the military ticket before, but the design of the Zhongchu coin is still in progress, and this work has not yet begun." ”
Ning Zhiheng stopped going around in circles, he said directly: "Then I'll get straight to the point, I want to ask Ito-kun to do me a favor, can I engrave one more set when I store coins in the engraving and print the engraving?" ”
And so it was! This Fujiwara president is trying to forge the middle reserve coins and make huge profits from them!
Tetsuhei Ito finally confirmed the other party's plan, and his heart couldn't help but feel a sense of sweat oozing from his forehead, and his mouth opened, but he didn't know what to say.
This matter is too big, Ito Teppei naturally did not dare to agree, banknote printing and engraving is the core secret of making money, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also very strict with them, and has long been sternly warned, once the engraving is leaked, the consequences are extremely serious, for this reason, the Ministry of Internal Affairs's exclusive intelligence department special high school will supervise the whole process, do not dare to have the slightest neglect.
Ning Zhiheng looked at Ito Tetsuhei and didn't dare to speak, hesitating, this was also what he expected, after all, the matter of copying the engraving, once the incident happened, the consequences would be very serious.
However, Ning Zhiheng knows that as long as there is a rich return on interests, then everything is negotiable.
He smiled slightly, and then said, "Ito-kun, are you surprised?" ”
Tetsuhei Ito's face barely squeezed out a smile, nodded and said, "Fujiwara-kun, it's really a big surprise, I ......"
Before he finished speaking, Ning Zhiheng waved his hand to interrupt his words, and said disapprerovantly: "Ito-kun, I know that it is difficult for you to make a decision for a while, but this matter is not as serious as you imagined, first of all, what we are counterfeiting is not our own currency, and its nature is completely different.
You must know that in recent years, the empire has issued a variety of currencies in China, such as the Bank of China issued by the Kwantung Army, the North China Front issued United Bank Coins, the Central China Front Army's Huaxing Coupons, military bills, etc., all of which are of the same nature, that is, to grab more wealth on Chinese soil.
The same is true of the China Reserve Currency, which is just a currency issued by the Chinese Provisional Government that we have fostered, and uses it to plunder the wealth of the people and buy a large amount of materials, so as to achieve the purpose of feeding the war with war and supporting the continuation of the war.
Its means are all aimed at China's economy, which has no impact on its own economy, and can easily plunder China's wealth, such a good thing, everyone is doing it, the Kwantung Army is doing it, the North China Army is doing it, and the Central China Army is also doing it, why can't we do it?
And as far as I know, there are a large number of counterfeit fiat currency banknotes that have come to Shanghai with you this time, and these counterfeit banknotes are also one of the means used by our government to plunder China's wealth, and there is no difference in their nature.
You see, the Imperial Government is also doing counterfeit money, and everyone has the same goal, and at the end of the day, we just want to be one of these profiteers, and if we don't do this, someone will do it sooner or later, believe it or not? After the issuance of the Chinese Reserve Coin, it will take a maximum of one to two years for counterfeit banknotes to appear on the market, and we are just one step ahead.
Besides, the profits are staggering, and I can assure you, Ito-kun, that the rewards you get are worth the risk. ”
Speaking of this, Ning Zhiheng stood up, took out a suitcase from behind the table, gently pushed it in front of Tetsuhei Ito, and stretched out his hand to signal him to open it.
Tetsuhei Ito hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to open the lid of the suitcase, and was immediately stunned by the neatly arranged and colorful banknotes inside.
"One hundred thousand dollars!" Ning Zhiheng smiled faintly, he had already prepared enough chips, and he was not afraid that Teppei Ito would not give in.
"This is the payment to you, and this is not a ***, I am sure that after the issuance of the Zhongchu coin, with the deepening of the plundering of wealth, it will soon be revised due to inflation, that is to say, Zhengjin Bank will continue to print a larger denomination of the Zhongchu coin, and every time you provide a core engraving, I will pay you again, that is to say, with each revision, you will increase your wealth by 100,000 US dollars, you think about it, what a huge fortune it should be."
Tetsuhei Ito couldn't keep his composure anymore when he heard this, 100,000 dollars! This is a wealth that a civilian sculptor like him can't earn in a lifetime, not to mention, as Fujiwara Tomohito said, pay 100,000 US dollars for every revision, so to speak, it is definitely a sky-high price!
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the brand-new banknote, struggling in his heart, the other party was right, the counterfeiting of the Chinese reserve currency has no impact on Japan's domestic economy, and it is also harming the interests of the Chinese, and he does not have the slightest psychological barrier at this point.
And he is over forty years old, most of his life has been hard, but he has not accumulated enough savings for many years, coupled with the rapid decline of Japan's domestic economy, some areas have begun to adopt the rationing system, control the supply of daily necessities, the life of ordinary people is becoming more and more embarrassing, and their family members are not rich, so I am often worried, but with this huge amount of money, my family can live a rich life that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and at my age, I don't have to run around and work hard, everything is different!
But? Doing so, you need to take a great risk, once you are discovered, you are only afraid that your life will not be guaranteed, thinking of this, he looked up at Fujiwara Tomohito, and slowly gained confidence in his heart.
This powerful man has a prominent position and strength, and it is said that his power in Shanghai is extremely great, and he can be regarded as covering the sky with one hand, and cooperating with him may really be an opportunity to fight for wealth and wealth.
Especially now that he knows the other party's plan, if he insists on not cooperating, what will be the consequences, he knows very well, in fact, when he entered this house, the result was already doomed, and he had no way out at all.
However, Teppei Ito still said worriedly: "Fujiwara-kun, there are some things that you may not know, even if I have the heart to cooperate, but this matter is not as easy as imagined, our work of carving steel plates is under the overall supervision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Special High Division, and it is almost a fully enclosed working state, and the management of engraving is also very strict, even if I copy the engraving, I can't take it out of the studio." ”
Ning Zhiheng was prepared, he opened his mouth and said: "Ito-kun, you are too worried, you only need to be responsible for copying the engraving, you don't have to worry about other things, I can guarantee that the supervision of you by the special high class will never affect you, at the same time, I will arrange for the right person to contact you, and he will be responsible for taking the engraving out of the studio, in short, I will handle every link properly." ”
Speaking of this, a trace of fierceness flashed in Ning Zhiheng's eyes, his tone slowed down, and he said proudly: "And this is Shanghai, even if someone questions it, I will handle everything, and no one will act against you." ”
Tetsuhei Ito was shocked when he heard this, and Fujiwara Tomohito was obviously very confident in his tone, and it was conceivable that no one in Shanghai could threaten Fujiwara Tomohito's position.
He took a deep breath, nodded for a long time, and agreed: "Since Fujiwara-kun has arranged everything and opened all the joints, then I will not shirk again." ”
"Good!" Ning Zhiheng slapped the table case happily, Ito Teppei's performance was all in his calculations, there are few people in this world who can resist the temptation of money, not to mention that he does not allow the other party to refuse, this Ito Teppei is a smart person.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in!" Ning Zhiheng commanded.
Kimura Maki pushed the door in, bowed down and said, "President, Takeshita Shaosa asks to see you." ”
Ning Zhiheng laughed when he heard this, He Siming came in time, just to give Ito Tetsuhei a reassuring needle, so he nodded and said, "Please let him in." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Tetsuhei Ito, and said with a smile: "I'll introduce you to a friend, and you will often deal with each other in the future." ”
Soon, under Ito Teppei's suspicious gaze, He Siming walked in quickly, came to the front in a few steps, and said respectfully to Ning Zhiheng: "President, what do you command?" ”
Ning Zhiheng made a gesture, pointed to Teppei Ito on the opposite side, and said, "Takeshita-kun, I think you have already met, do you still need my introduction?" ”
He Siming had already prepared, bowed slightly to Ito Tetsuhei on the side, and said with a smile: "No need, Ito-kun came to Shanghai, or the boat I went to pick up, I have met several times in the past month, and we are not strangers to each other." ”
He Siming, as the liaison officer of the special high class, participated in this work before, and had contact with Ito Tetsuhei many times, and He Siming even specially inquired about Ito Teppei's situation, he was a disciple of Kanda Yushan, and He Siming reported it to Ning Zhiheng.
At this time, Ito Teppei was also unable to hide his suspicion, of course he knew this Takeshita Shaosa, because this young officer was the liaison officer Takeshita Shinya, who was responsible for supervising their work, according to the staff around him, this person was not only the confidant of Taro Sagawa, the head of the Shanghai Special High School, but even the support of the Otani family behind him, and he was definitely a powerful figure in the Special High School.
Now when he heard He Siming speak, he also quickly got up and said, "Takeshita Shaoza, I didn't expect you and President Fujiwara to be acquainted, what a coincidence!" ”
He Siming smiled slightly and said: "Ito-kun, I'm just a pawn who has worked for a long time, you are the honored guest of the president, and I will ask you to take care of you in the future." ”
He Siming put his posture very low, just to let Ito Teppei understand who he was dealing with.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Ito Tetsuhei's heart was even more terrified, this powerful person in the special high class actually behaved like this in front of Fujiwara Tomohito, it seems that he still underestimated Fujiwara Tomohito's power before.
Ning Zhiheng motioned for He Siming to sit down as well, and said: "Ito-kun, in the future, Takeshita-kun will contact you, he will arrange the personnel, give you enough convenience, and hand it over to him after the engraving is completed, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”
Teppei Ito suddenly realized that this Takeshita Shaoza was also a member of this plan, and the person who supervised him was an accomplice, so it was naturally possible to get twice the result with half the effort, and there were no taboos, so I couldn't help but feel relieved.
However, Teppei Ito still raised another question, and continued: "Fujiwara-kun, there is still one more problem that needs to be solved. ”
"Oh, what's the problem? Ito-kun, please just say it directly, and I will solve all your worries for you. ”
"I didn't do the engraving alone, and my assistant Hiroshi Tanimura, who has been my partner and friend for many years, can't hide my work of copying engraving, so he also needs to do some work."
Ning Zhiheng couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he didn't plan to pull this assistant into the gang before, after all, it was a matter of confidentiality, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better, he asked in a deep voice: "What, can't you complete the engraving work yourself?" ”
Tetsuhei Ito quickly explained: "We received a notice from Zhengjin Bank that the printing of the Zhongchu currency is in accordance with the usual practice, using American specifications, although there is no complex shading, but the front needs to be gravure, and the back is flat.
Therefore, the engraving on the front of the coin needs to be carved out of gravure, which is more difficult, and I will engrave it, and the plane engraving on the back is less difficult, so it will be completed by my assistant Hiroshi Tanimura.
This ensures that the engraving work is completed as soon as possible, and if it is up to me to copy the engraving myself, of course, there is no problem, but the workload is too large, and I need to complete two front engravings and one back engraving, which is not allowed in time.
Moreover, the carving people are different, the techniques are different, in the subtleties, it is easy to have differences, and the effect of the copied engraving is much worse.
What's more, Hiroshi Tanimura and I work in the same studio, and I can hide other people, but I can't hide my actions from him at all, he must know about it. ”
What Teppei Ito said is the truth, and there is no way to avoid specific difficulties.
"That's a problem."
Ning Zhiheng pondered for a moment, nodded, and said: "Then persuade this person to join, the reward is half of yours, 50,000 US dollars, and other conditions are the same, every time you revise, you will be paid once, Ito-kun, if you do his work, are you sure?" Of course, it's okay for me to come forward, you should know your assistant, that's up to you. ”
When Ito Teppei heard this, he calculated in his heart, but He Siming on the side did not give him this time, and said: "This problem should not be big, if he is stubborn and stubborn, I will solve it, find an opportunity to create an accident, except for this person, Ito-kun himself will complete the engraving work, or change an assistant, I don't believe that in this world, there are still people who don't love money!" ”
He Siming's tone was still gentle and amiable at first, but in the end, it was not so friendly, and the implication was that if Tanimura Hiroshi did not cooperate, he would have to kill him.
Ning Zhiheng nodded slightly when he heard this, he actually had such a plan, and said: "This method is good, in short, once this plan is implemented, there can be no obstacles, and all obstacles must be removed!" ”
As soon as the two of them sang and harmonized, they were suddenly frightened by Ito Tetsuhei's face, and with just one word, he knew that the two in front of him were definitely ruthless characters, and for the sake of this huge benefit, all means were used, and with their status and energy, it was easy to solve Tanimura Hiroshi.
Thinking of this, Ito Teppei hurriedly waved his hand again and again, wiped the sweat on his forehead, bowed, nodded and said: "Fujiwara-kun, Takeshita Shaosa, Tanimura-kun's work will be done by me, I will not disappoint you, I know him very well, the problem is not big, please rest assured!" ”
When Ning Zhiheng heard this, he and He Siming looked at each other and smiled, this time of coercion and temptation, both soft and hard, Ito Tetsuhei had to give in, otherwise, Ning Zhiheng had no choice but to clear it with a spicy hand and start with another target, in short, he was bound to win.
