Shanghai Concession, Tan Mansion, Ning Zhiheng is listening to Ji Hongyi's work report.

"This morning, Wei Hongde and his son came to visit, and never mentioned the matter of being rescued by force, I think this person must have known the reason for this, and it also saves me more words, but it is interesting!"

Ning Zhiheng asked, "Does he know that it was Wu Shicai who kidnapped him this time?" ”

Ji Hongyi shook his head and said: "I don't know, he didn't ask, he did, I also said I didn't know, we just raised money to pay the ransom, and didn't do anything else!" ”

"Didn't mention the $300,000 either?"

"Nope!" Ji Hongyi smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Isn't his life worth 300,000?" ”

"In the end, it's a tycoon on the beach, and it's a clean character!"

Ning Zhiheng nodded with satisfaction, he pondered for a moment, calculated carefully, and then said: "To be honest, there are actually a lot of hidden dangers in our meddling in this matter, Wu Shicai didn't get the money, and a lot of his subordinates died, if you are unwilling, and then find trouble with Wei Hongde, you will be involved, we have to take precautions." ”

"Yes, I must be more careful, I think so, the kidnapping of Wei Hongde is not small, he Wu Shicai does not dare to really show the knife and gun and say that he did it himself, and Wei Hongde is also scared after this incident, he wants to strengthen his own security work, I have promised him, select some good hands from the gang, act as his family's bodyguard, in this way, I am not afraid that Wu Shicai will do it again, at least, as soon as there is a disturbance, we can detect it in time and make a response!"

Ji Hongyi arranged it properly, Ning Zhiheng didn't say much, it seems that the problem is not big at present, take 10,000 steps back, even if there is trouble, it really involves Ji Hongyi, it is just the Northern Jiangsu Gang to stand up for Wei Hongde, and Wu Shicai secretly competes and fights, but it is just a matter of black eating black, and it has no impact on the intelligence department.

In this incident, the intelligence department got a sum of money, Wei Hongde picked up a life, everyone got their own place, and the matter was over.

Ning Zhiheng couldn't stay in the concession for too long, and this time he entered the concession, mainly to deal with Feng Sinian's affairs, and as a result, a series of things such as Zha Yutang were involved, which made him delay a lot of time.

In the evening of the same day, Ning Zhiheng left the Tan Mansion and returned to his home in the city, but not long after arriving home, he received a contact call from He Siming.

Ning Zhiheng knew that He Siming would not call his residence unless it was a major situation, and immediately agreed to He Siming to come and report.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, He Siming came to visit and reported an extremely important piece of information to Ning Zhiheng.

"Three days ago, a group of people were transferred from Japan, about 30 people, and with them, there was a batch of printing equipment and a large amount of fiat currency."

"Printing equipment and fiat currency?" Ning Zhiheng suddenly raised his eyebrows, and he quickly thought of something, "It's counterfeit banknotes, counterfeit banknotes of fiat currency!" The Japanese have completed the counterfeiting of fiat currency! ”

"It's indeed a counterfeit of fiat currency." He Siming nodded and said.

Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but sigh lightly, with his efforts before, the progress of the work of making the Japanese counterfeit fiat currency was delayed by a year, and now it was time to come.

"What denomination is fiat currency?"

"Five and ten dollar denominations!"

"How many are there in this batch?"

"It doesn't look like much, I estimate that it will not be more than 10 million, there should be a few million or so, all of them are old banknotes, I heard Sagawa Taro say that these are the first batch of experimental products made by the Japanese, and the number is not large, mainly used to put them on the market to see the effect of counterfeiting."

Ning Zhiheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, the current depreciation of fiat currency is serious, especially the Chongqing government ordered that the four major banks in Shanghai have canceled the unlimited foreign exchange exchange, and the fiat currency cannot be arbitraged, and the value is even lower all the way.

This is also calculated by the Japanese, after all, the purpose of this time is only to experiment, to verify the effect of this legal tender counterfeit banknote circulating in the market, so the amount will not be large, but this is also an extremely dangerous signal, if you can print 10 million, then you can print 100 million, 100 million, or even more.

Suddenly, he thought of He Siming's words just now, and hurriedly asked, "Those personnel and printing equipment are used to counterfeit fiat currency?" ”

If the Japanese had made the counterfeit fiat currency in Shanghai, it would have been easy to say that they had managed to destroy the printing equipment, especially the most crucial core engraving plates, and that would have been a repeat of the original action and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese plan.

However, He Siming shook his head and explained carefully: "The Japanese have learned the previous lesson, all the work of counterfeiting fiat currency is carried out in Japan, and after completion, the finished products are shipped to China and put into the market, as for these printing equipment and supporting personnel, they are used to print new currency." ”

"New currency? It's a medium coin! Ning Zhiheng suddenly thought of something, suddenly straightened up, looked at He Siming in surprise, and couldn't help blurting out.

He Siming was also stunned, then nodded and said, "You also heard about it?" The Japanese will soon issue this currency, it will not be too long, and the Nanjing Central Reserve Bank is currently being built, and it is said that Zhou Fushan, the finance minister of the Nanjing government, will serve as the president. ”

After the puppet government returned to Nanjing, it couldn't wait to build its own financial system, began to prepare for the establishment of the Central Reserve Bank, issued a new currency, referred to as the Central Reserve Currency, and squeezed out the fiat currency issued by the Chongqing government out of the control area of the puppet government, and at the same time solved the chaotic situation of various currencies in the occupied area, trying to grasp more right to speak.

In fact, this matter was mentioned to the Japanese a long time ago, but the process was full of twists and turns, and the Japanese did not agree at first, because they were worried that the establishment of the Central Reserve Bank would have an impact on the military bills issued by the Japanese military all along, and at the same time, they were also worried that the puppet government's strength would expand too quickly, and it would be difficult to control its economic development and get out of its own control.

For example, the Central Reserve Bank had to hire the Japanese as advisers, and the foreign exchange obtained had to be deposited in Japan's Japanese Gold Bank, and at the same time, in order to make up for the loss of military bills, Japan was provided with a certain amount of capital assistance, and the Japanese side had to be consulted at any time for the issuance and circulation of the Chinese Reserve Currency, and the unequal terms and conditions related to fiat currency, military bills, Japanese currency, and relations with Mongolia and North China had to be consulted and agreed by the advisers. The Japanese finally agreed to the creation of the Central Reserve Bank.

In this way, however, the Central Reserve Bank (PBB) became a financial instrument for Japan's brutal plundering of the occupied areas.

Naturally, the Japanese also firmly grasped the power to print the Chinese reserve currency, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs selected a group of personnel and equipment to come to China to be responsible for printing the Chinese reserve currency.

Ning Zhiheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration at this time, this is a godsend!

At present, because of a large amount of support to the front line, their own funds have been a little beyond their means, and then persist like this, it is definitely not a way, they are considering opening up new sources of funds, but such a large amount of funding gap, where to find it for a while, do you really let yourself go everywhere to extort?

For this reason, Ning Zhiheng has been quite troubled, and now, isn't it a great opportunity!

The Japanese can counterfeit fiat currency, so why can't they counterfeit the Chinese reserve currency?

In fact, Ning Zhiheng has not thought about this idea before, but it is more difficult to implement, first of all, the currencies circulating in Shanghai are all pounds, US dollars, Japanese yen, and fiat currency, but in addition to legal tender, the other three currencies are too difficult to counterfeit, among which the anti-counterfeiting technology of the pound and the US dollar is superb, and the yen is not only high in anti-counterfeiting technology, but more importantly, the paper raw material of the yen is a precious plant fiber unique to the Japanese island country, and Ning Zhiheng cannot solve the problem of raw materials alone. So he abandoned the idea very early.

As for counterfeiting fiat currency, Ning Zhiheng naturally wouldn't do it, besides, the fiat currency is still in charge of the U.S. banknote printing company, and the technical content is not low, and it took a long time to complete it with the help of Japan.

But now that the China Reserve Coin is about to be issued, Ning Zhiheng doesn't believe it, how high will the technical content of such a puppet government issue a temporary currency be?

And the circulation base of the Zhongchu currency is very good, with the support of the Japanese, it will replace all kinds of currencies in the vast occupied areas, and the area of application is vast, the circulation is good, and it is the best target for counterfeiting.

As long as you can complete the counterfeiting of the stored currency, then the problem of funds can be easily solved, what is more profitable in the world than counterfeit currency? The profits far exceed the revenues from smuggling goods.

The key is that the cost of coin storage in counterfeiting is not high, as long as you can get the core engraving, other venues and equipment, as well as personnel, it is not a problem for yourself.

Thinking of this, Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but stand up all of a sudden, he walked around the room in high spirits, his mind kept designing, and after a while, he made up his mind that he had to do this vote!

He turned to look at He Siming and asked in a deep voice: "Since it is the Japanese who are responsible for printing the Zhongchu coin, then, the core engraving is also provided by the Japanese?" Is this also done in Japan? ”

"No, the Central Reserve Bank is still under construction, and the design of the China Reserve Coin has not yet been completed, so the steel plate has not yet been carved, and there are two very special characters among the staff who came to China this time!"

"Special people, who?"

"Two carvers who are specifically responsible for carving steel plates, one is called Tetsuhei Ito, and the other is called Hiroshi Tanimura, both of whom are engravers selected by the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"God help me!" Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but stroke his palm and smiled.
