Chapter 264: The Battlefield Without Gunpowder
"The Japanese are really insidious in doing things, and this morning I went to the Mei Agency, and Qingqi Zhongsa handed me 2 million counterfeit fiat currency banknotes, and asked my Southeast Trading Company to purchase 1.6 million fiat currency goods, and give me 20 percent as a fee." Li Shiqun came to Chen Mingxiang's office and said.
The Southeast Trading Company is a special agency set up by the Mei agency to earn funds for the secret service headquarters, and it has developed well for more than half a year, exchanging a large amount of materials from the national control area and getting a huge amount of legal tender from Japanese enterprises in return.
Li Shiqun can be called a daily money, most of which he put into his pocket, and a small part of it is used to fund the secret service headquarters.
He also has misgivings about the use of counterfeit banknotes, smuggling is a long-term business, and honest cooperation between each other is the king, if he has a bad reputation, it is equivalent to ruining his own job.
"Minister, be content, my task this time is 10 million counterfeit banknotes, it's really unlucky, this kind of thing will smash your own signboard, and customers will find out that they use counterfeit banknotes, who will do business with you in the future?"
"Although the simulation of this batch of counterfeit banknotes is very high, it is not to the extent of 100 percent, and the gravure on the front can still be felt. Chen Mingxiang said.
"Your Huatong Trading Company, the trading volume is more than ten times that of the Southeast Trading Company, it is said that it has also set up material acquisition stations in several provinces in Jiangtong District, there is no middleman to make the difference, the profit is much greater, and those who can work more!"
"I came to you this time to hear your true thoughts, how to use this batch of counterfeit banknotes, in order to achieve the purpose without smashing the brand." Li Shiqun said.
"You only have two million counterfeit banknotes, this is not simple, half of it is used for salary, it is used as real money, and the brothers under him do not have the habit of saving money, and the expenses of the secret service headquarters are at least 500,000 a month, and all of them will be exchanged for real money in two months."
"The other half of the counterfeit banknotes are used to purchase materials locally in Shanghai, disperse them, find different people to buy them many times, and then sell them to Jiangtong District for scarce materials, which can be digested in two months."
"In the future, you have to save some hard currency, fiat currency does not know when it will be forced to cancel circulation, and the reserve bonds will inevitably occupy the market in the future, but I always beat the drum in my heart, you say that the China Reserve Bank does not even have gold reserves, and the banknotes issued have not become a source of water?" Chen Mingxiang said.
This is also to dig a pit for Li Shiqun in advance, and wait until the end of next month to start exposing counterfeit banknotes on a large scale, and then the secret service headquarters will be chaotic, and a large number of spies will find out that they are receiving counterfeit banknotes, and they will definitely make a fuss, and there will be a lot of excitement when the time comes.
Chen Mingxiang is not afraid that Li Shiqun will not accept it, the stronger people's greedy desires, in order to grab wealth, they can do whatever it takes, besides, there is a Ye Jiqing behind Li Shiqun, women regard their family's money as more important than everything, this method of transferring risks, it is strange if you don't agree!
"Not to mention this unlucky China Reserve Bonds, starting from this month, Zhou Gaohai ordered all institutions to use the China Reserve Bonds to pay salaries, but this thing is a new thing, I can't buy anything at all, I have to insist on using fiat currency, otherwise my brothers will rebel."
"You know that the four major banks of the Shancheng government cannot carry out the business of the China Reserve Bonds, including the current concession, and they will resist the China Reserve Bonds with all their might." Li Shiqun said.
On the eve of the establishment of the puppet Central Reserve Bank and the issuance of the China Reserve Bonds, the Shancheng Government had already negotiated with the Public Concession Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, the French Concession Public Discussion Bureau, and the Chinese and foreign banks in Shanghai to refuse to accept the China Reserve Bonds.
The reason is that the pseudo-central reserve bank itself is not a legal financial institution, nor does it have the reserves necessary to issue banknotes, let alone a member of the Huaxia or foreign banking associations, and this kind of banknotes has no legal status and should be refused to be used in circulation.
Philip, executive director of the board of directors of the Shanghai Public Concession Bureau, convened the financial and business people in the concession to discuss this issue, saying that the China Reserve Bills are the-stirring sticks of the financial market, and if such banknotes are allowed to enter the market, everyone will suffer great losses.
There is no strong reserve fund as a guarantee for the Central Reserve Bills, that is, the Wang puppet government and the Japanese have printed a bunch of paper, what is the equivalent of fiat currency?
If the Wang puppet government uses the China Reserve Bills to exchange foreign exchange, the devil knows how quickly this kind of thing depreciates, and buys a lot of waste paper with dollars and pounds, it will lead to bankruptcy!
After studying and deciding, the shops, service establishments, and entertainment venues in the concession refused to use the Central Reserve Bonds, the major banks did not carry out the business of storing and exchanging the Central Reserve Bonds, the Central Reserve Bonds could not purchase foreign exchange, and even the Post and Telecommunications Bureau in the Concession could not carry out the remittance business of the Central Reserve Bonds.
"Minister, this is the two of us to say, the Central Reserve Bills are an unrestricted means, saying that banknotes have raised their value, the Central Reserve Bank can issue as much as it wants, and the Japanese army can withdraw as much as it wants, killing chickens and eggs to quench thirst, and sooner or later the financial market will collapse, resulting in soaring prices and inflation."
"However, the Jinling government has no source of income, and the Central Reserve Bonds are the lifeblood, and for the Japanese army, the Central Reserve Bonds are an important part of military spending, and it is impossible for them to let the concession resist."
"So, if the China Savings Bank wants to enforce the implementation of the China Savings Bank, it must be operated by our secret service headquarters, you look at it, the military command will inevitably react, and the Shanghai market will start to enter the melee stage again." Chen Mingxiang said.
"I have already received the task of forcibly promoting the China Reserve Bonds, Zhou Kaihai called me last night, since I have served this bowl of rice, I have to work hard for others."
"As long as the military command doesn't go too far, and I don't want to make a bloody mess, wouldn't it be better to have time to make more money?" Li Shiqun said.
Is it possible that the military commander will not do it?
Chen Mingxiang knows that the answer is yes, Shanghai is the financial center city of Asia, and its significance to the Shancheng government is not trivial. If this market and financial control is lost, the value of the Yamashiro government's fiat currency will shrink even more severely, and the financial and economic losses will be heavy.
Under such circumstances, the Shancheng government will definitely strictly order the military commanders to prevent the issuance of the central reserve bonds, and after the military commanders in Shanghai City get rid of Zhang Xiaolin and Fu Xiao'an, now that the troops are sharp, Boss Dai and Chen Gongshu naturally want to fight with the secret service headquarters headed by Li Shiqun.
The "Shanghai Evening News" published an essay today, called "The Bright Moon Shines in the Sky, the Spring Breeze and the Green Jiangnan", and I don't know which literati's handwriting is gorgeous.
Since the teacher Pan Qiwu came, Chen Mingxiang, who had to keep an eye on this newspaper every day, immediately convened a meeting of the leaders above the deputy section level of the inspection team, and the meeting between him and Wang Zhen must seem very natural and public, so he decided to hold a drinking party.
