Chapter 474: "American Liar"

readx; Cai Yu said with a smile: "The bank will definitely not let Yue know that it was invested by Fujian Zhengaxe, and even our people will not appear in the bank, so there will be no suspicion of us." www.biquge.info The four major state-owned banks and many privately run banks are still operating in the concessions, and they should be the key targets of suspicion. ”

McCroson goes on to elaborate: "First of all, we need to hire an adventurous financial expert in the United States or England, let him bring the large sums of money we provide to open a bank in the Shanghai Concession, and then make a big publicity, attract deposits, and start a business in the Yuan." In the beginning, you have to do business as seriously as other banks, and when you reach a certain scale, you can ship the counterfeit banknotes. I think that as long as the customers are carefully selected, it is not very easy to expose. ”

Gao Fei said happily: "This method is indeed high! You should have such a candidate among your compatriots in the United States and Britain, right? ”

Michael Rosen hurriedly said: "The Jews have accepted the asylum of China, and their relationship is already well known, but it is easy to arouse the suspicion of myself. ”

Gao Fei nodded in understanding: "Then let's use white people who don't have any Jewish ancestry, I think, Americans are more adventurous, it should be easier to find people in the United States, and now I am still very dependent on the United States, and I will have some scruples." ”

"That's why I'm looking for agents in the UK and the US," McRosson said. ”

Cai Yu added: "The situation in the Shanghai Concession is very complicated, all kinds of forces have come together, if you want to gain a firm foothold, in addition to abundant funds, you must also have enough strong force!" ”

"It's easy to solve: after finding an agent, he will hire a group of armed men from the United States at a high price to keep the bank safe," Goofy said. We will send people to the concession to establish a stronghold to deal with some of the more serious crises. ”

Cai Yuyan said: "In fact, the key to the success of this plan is to be able to attract enough currency deposits, so that there is a chance to put counterfeit money out, can you let the insider deposit the money in our bank?" ”

Goofy shook his head and categorically rejected his proposal: "No! It's too dangerous! Then he thought for a while and said, "Aren't we also doing business with Yue myself through Hong Kong, and let Yue settle his payment through this bank!" ”

Cai Yuyan and Mike Rosen nodded in unison, agreeing to Gao Fei's proposal: "Since you have agreed, I will notify the office in the United States to start looking for candidates!" ”

Gao Fei continued: "There are a large number of agents lurking in Shanghai for the Nationalist Political Axe, and while protecting the personnel of the concession authorities, they are also responsible for collecting intelligence and assassinating military and political leaders. ”

Cai Yu looked at Gao Fei and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that you are wishful thinking, and the current central political axe is eager to get rid of us as soon as possible!" The expression on his face became solemn.

Gao Fei sensed that something must have happened, and hurriedly asked, "Are they going to do something to us?" ”

Cai Yu replied contemptuously: "Forgive them for not having the guts!" Then he explained: "The former Kuomintang sent representatives to Fuzhou to demand that Fujian hand over customs duties and salt taxes to the central government, and also asked us to stop using silver dollars and restore the circulation of fiat currency, but I sternly refused!" ”

Goofy's spirit immediately tensed up and asked, "Is that all they do?" ”

Cai Yuyan replied: "There is no direct action, but there have been more military commanders and spies in Fuzhou City recently. ”

Gao Fei was still apprehensive about the last assassination, and when he saw Cai Yu's indifferent look, he said worriedly: "Mr. Cai, don't be careless!" I'm going to get more people to keep you safe!" ”

Cai Yu said with a smile: "These people are all under control, but the two sides have not yet torn their faces, and it is not worth making a big move." Now Fujian has become the only material entry and exit channel in the rear, how dare they offend us? What's more, we have a lot of evidence in our hands, which is enough for a strong earthquake to occur in the national political axe. ”

Gao Fei said solemnly: "It's time for the committee leader to know that we have these things in our hands, and his imperial relatives should also be a little more restrained!" The country is not theirs after all! ”

Cai Yu nodded and said: "This is the best, to be honest, of course it is best not to turn your face, the current situation of the Anti-Japanese War is the unity of all parties, if you fight separately, it is difficult to say what it will be!" ”

Gao Fei comforted: "Such a simple truth, the chairman and his senior staff must understand!" ”

In early June 1939, in a bank in the downtown of New York, USA, Diana, a young and beautiful female clerk, was bored playing with the pencil in her hand, her eyes wandering back and forth in the empty hall.

At this moment, a blonde man in a suit walked through the door of the bank and walked straight towards Diana's window, who hurriedly sat up straight, and a professional smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Hello, Miss!" A charismatic voice rang out, and then he casually handed in a check.

Diana carefully looked at the man in front of her, and was immediately attracted by the handsome appearance of the other party: the Greek forehead and nose, like the ancient works of art under the knife of a sculptor, with elegant and simple lines, like a girl's delicate skin is very soft and white, a pair of amorous eyes are blue and black, on the beautiful eyes, the thick black eyebrows seem to be drawn with a brush, and the long chestnut eyelashes keep moving up and down with the slight movement of the eyelids, making the deep eyes appear particularly smart; The cheeks are covered with a layer of velvety hair, just the same shade as curly blonde hair; The short chin is slightly tilted upwards at a very natural angle, and it looks extremely noble, and a mouthful of neat white teeth is exposed in the mouth of a smile.

Before reaching for the other party's check, Diana involuntarily brushed her hair that was somewhat disheveled in front of her forehead, and the professional smile on her face was replaced by heartfelt pleasure.

"Miss, you are so beautiful!" When Diana pinched one end of the check, the young man did not let go immediately, but praised her appearance in a magnetic voice, while looking at her with affection.

Two red clouds suddenly flew on Diana's face, her chest jumped suddenly as if she was loaded with a deer, and even her voice was a little hoarse: "Sir, do you want to exchange cash?" After saying that, he lowered his head shyly, but the corners of his mouth showed a happy smile.

"Please help me into cash, all in 10 yuan bills." The man let go of the check, then looked straight at Diana, and asked softly, "Miss, can you have dinner with you in the evening?" ”

Diana hurriedly glanced at the check, quickly took out ten brand-new bills from the drawer, handed them to the man, and said in a very low voice, "I'll leave work at half past five." After saying that, he lowered his head deeply, and did not dare to look at the other party again.

The man squeezed Diana's hand lightly: "I'm waiting for you at the door of the bank, see you or leave!" With that, he put the money in his pocket and turned away in style.

After leaving the bank, the man had just turned a street corner, when suddenly two burly men jumped out from behind him, one to the left and the other to the right, clamped his arms, and then, in his ears, the words he was most afraid to hear: "Mr. Biszino, you have been arrested!" ”

The car stopped in front of a darkened building, and two big men escorted Biszino down, then up the steps. Biszino looked around and found that it was not the New York City Police Department in his memory, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart, and he hurriedly "Huh! "Yes.

While the big man was stunned, he suddenly squatted down, his arms immediately regained his freedom, and then slammed his elbows into the opponent's abdomen, and then galloped towards the bottom of the steps.

The two big men chased after him, clutching his stomach, but obviously not as fast as Szino, and he ran down the steps in three steps and two steps, turned to the left, and ran wildly along the sidewalk, and then, before he could go fifty meters away, he was hit by a pistol against his head, and fell back step by step.

The two big men grabbed Biszino's arm again and were about to punch him, but were stopped by the owner of the pistol, a tall man wearing sunglasses and a long trench coat, with his eyes.

Biszino was taken to a small room with a dim light bulb hanging from it in the middle of the room, and two chairs on either side of the table.

Sunglasses made the two big men retreat, and then sat down face to face with Biszino, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Biszino, your judgment is correct, we are indeed not police!" ”

Biszino asked unceremoniously: "Since you are not a policeman, then your current behavior is kidnapping, what a serious crime this is, do you know?" He stared at the other side, trying to see through his eyes behind his sunglasses.

Sunglasses laughed a few times, and asked slowly, "I know very well how serious the crime of kidnapping is. However, Mr. Biszino has used fake checks to defraud in the past three years, accumulating more than $150,000, which should be much more serious than my kidnapping! ”

"Who are you? How do you know this? These things that even the police didn't know, the other party actually knew everything about them, and cold sweat began to break out on Biszino's forehead.

"Please don't be nervous, I just want to talk to you about business!" The man opposite took off his sunglasses and stretched out his right hand to Biszino: "Acquaintance, my name is Riddo." ”

Biszino took Rido's hand in disbelief, and looked at it carefully: he was about forty years old, with dark gray eyes on his wrinkled cheeks, and a tall stature, with broad shoulders and powerful arms.

"Do you have any business to talk to me about?" Biszino asked curiously, "You know my details well, you should know that I only do bill business!" ”

Ridau smiled casually: "We only found you because you know the operation of the bank very well, and you have a unique research on fraud!" Then he explained in detail: "We are going to open a bank in some country in the Far East and exchange the counterfeit money we have made for real money, so as to make a huge profit." I wonder if Mr. Biszino is interested? He looked straight at Biszino.

Biszino smiled bitterly and said, "You already have evidence of my crime, do I still have a choice?" ”

Rido hurriedly said: "You misunderstood, the purpose of us telling you this is to ensure that you will not leak the secret, if you do not participate voluntarily, it will be difficult for this plan to succeed, because the risk is very great!" ”

Then he added: "Actually, someone in the police department is already tracking down your matter, and our information was bought from it, and if you leave the United States temporarily, it will only be good for you." ”

Biszino's curiosity had been aroused, and he couldn't help but ask, "Can you explain the plan in more detail!" ”

Seeing that his attitude had softened, Rido was very happy, and gave a detailed account of his plans to open a bank in Shanghai and to make counterfeit banknotes.

"Shanghai!" Biszino said excitedly: "Adventurer's paradise, I have long wanted to see it!" Then he asked bluntly, "How much am I paid?" ”

"Five hundred dollars a month!" Rido said as he looked at the other man's expression.

"God! I'm risking my head! I've heard of my cruelty, and if the matter is revealed, they won't open it up just because I'm an American! Biszino was performing exaggeratedly, and in fact he was already very satisfied with the salary. This is already more than the treatment of the president of the United States.

Ridor said quietly: "We will take care of all your expenses in Shanghai, and in addition, you will receive 10% of the bank's profits!" ”

"God!" Biszino was really surprised this time, and he jumped out of his chair excitedly and said loudly: "I did it!" ”

Rido said happily, "Okay, so when can you leave?" We want to be able to do it as soon as possible! ”

Biszino thought for a moment and replied, "Since I'm dealing with myself, then I'm going to bring a partner with me!" ”

"No, absolutely not!" Rido glared at Biszino viciously: "This is a very stupid idea! We are going to deal with his country, how can he be indifferent? It's not even allowed to tell him! ”

Biszino saw a hint of murder flashing in the other party's eyes, and hurriedly explained: "I can guarantee with my surname: my friend will never leak the news, and his loyalty to me will definitely exceed that of Emperor Momoto!" Besides, their family has immigrated to the United States for three generations, and there is no difference between them and ordinary Americans except that they can speak Mandarin. ”

Then he added: "All the bills I used to defraud the bank were made by him with a printer, and he is a very rare technical expert, which will be a great help to our plan!" ”

Rido thought for a while and said, "This issue is very important, I need to discuss it with the boss before I can make a decision, you go back first and wait for the notice!" Then he stared into Biszino's eyes and said, "If you leak the content of our conversation today, I will not hesitate to kill you!" ”

Biszino said indifferently: "I have a very good reputation among my peers, you should know very well!" Then he said, "If your boss agrees, please tell him that my friend is also paid five hundred dollars, and if he doesn't do it, he won't even work for me!" ”

Rido smiled and said, "Your relationship seems to be really unusual!" Then he said yes very happily.

Half a month later, a luxury cruise ship from the Americas slowly galloped into the Shanghai dock, Biszino and his friend Jiro Ibe stood side by side on the deck outside the first class, facing the various ships shuttling back and forth on the Huangpu River, excitedly stretched out their hands out of the side of the ship, made a hugging gesture, and shouted: "Shanghai, I'm coming!" ”

After arriving in Shanghai under the escort of a dozen bodyguards, Biszino and Jiro Inabe did not immediately start a bank, but first investigated and analyzed the market situation in the concession, because this was a good habit they had developed in their years of criminal career, and it was precisely because of this habit that they have been able to get away with it until now

After two weeks of detailed investigation, both men were stunned by the economic prosperity in the concession: as the army occupied most of Shanghai, the wealthy and entrepreneurs who had lived in the urban area fled to the concession one after another, factories and enterprises sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and as the population increased, restaurants, restaurants, banks, firms, notebooks, tobacco houses, pawnshops, dance halls, and so on also prospered. Since the control of the concession is still in the hands of Britain, the United States and France and other countries, the passage of materials and personnel here is very smooth, and a large number of civilian goods produced by China's private capital are continuously transported to all parts of the country, and at the same time, all kinds of luxury goods are also continuously transported to this isolated island from all over the world.

In the financial field they are about to set foot in, there are not only the left-behind institutions of the four banks of the Central Government, China, Communications, and Agriculture, which were set up by the Kuomintang, but also the private banks founded by the original private capital, the HSBC Bank of the United Kingdom, the Citibank of the United States, and the banks of other Western countries, and the Huaxing Commercial Bank and the Central Reserve Bank, which were founded by the Han Dynasty, have also opened branches here and are engaged in legal tender business on a large scale.

After careful study, according to the characteristics of their secret mission, the two set the customer base on ordinary citizens, because this can increase the number of customers, distract attention, and make the spread of counterfeit banknotes more difficult to be detected by themselves!
