The issuance of the renminbi went smoothly, and in just a few days, more than 10 million renminbi were exchanged for huàn.

With such a huge amount, most of the subscribers are local businessmen in Shanghai, and their daily transactions with foreign businessmen are very huge, while foreign businessmen in the Shanghai concession only recognize RMB, so the AIIB's RMB to huàn business is extremely busy.

Due to the limited number of money printing machines, even if they start work day and night, they are overwhelmed, and the renminbi will soon run out of stock.

In order to solve this problem, Li Weiguo had to stay up late and work overtime to engrave a board with a face value of 100,000 yuan in the shortest possible time.

Now that there is a huge amount of RMB banknotes, Li Weiguo was still a little worried at first, after all, 100,000 yuan in this year is equivalent to 10 million yuan in later generations, and such a large amount, once any problem arises, it will be disastrous.

Fortunately, George reminded Li Weiguo that in July 1839, the Bank of England issued a batch of commercial bills worth millions of pounds for the convenience of East-West trade settlement, which were only used for inter-commercial trade settlement, which was very effective and safe. By the outbreak of the Sino-British Opium War in 1840, the British government issued another 30 million pounds of government bonds, which was also entrusted to the Bank of England to replace them with commercial bonds worth 1 million pounds.

So Li Weiguo entrusted George to get him a 1 million pound commercial voucher, and it turned out that the production of this kind of commercial voucher is much more exquisite than other small amount of pound sterling banknotes, with a pattern of an eagle grabbing the earth printed in the middle, and the watermark is also very clear, and the overall exquisite Cheng dù is basically comparable to 100 yuan, which shows that the Bank of England attaches great importance to this million pound commercial voucher and has spent a lot of effort in this regard.

Li Weiguo then referred to the format of this million-pound commercial voucher, modified the 100,000 yuan electric board, engraved more complex patterns and Great Wall watermark patterns, printing, cutting, and coding the whole process by Li Weiguo himself, and finally on the finished product, Li Weiguo stamped his AIIB president's seal, which was relieved.

The 100,000 yuan banknotes were used as commercial bills issued by the AIIB, and only 500 banknotes were issued in the first batch, and each one was coded and stamped by Li Weiguo himself before it was valid.

After the issuance of this batch of large renminbi, the problem of insufficient issuance of renminbi and large-scale commercial transactions was solved.

After this incident, Li Weiguo relieved himself, and when he thought of the Bank of England commercial bill worth one million pounds, he was immediately moved and prepared to forge it.

So, for the next half a month, Li Weiguo spent most of his time on forging million-pound commercial vouchers.

Li Weiguo generally knows that before the birth of modern micromolecular synthetic material technology, the pound banknotes have been used in North American tulipwood, which is a deciduous tree, very rare and expensive, this kind of wood was only introduced to China in the 20s, so there is no domestic wood now, so Li Weiguo commissioned foreign businessmen to go to Canada to import 3,000 North American tulipwood logs back.

The second is to imitate the pattern on the million pounds, Li Weiguo is an expert in this area, although there is no electronic and digital equipment to assist, but he himself is a master of this area, through the simple photographic etching intaglio technology, it is easy to be able to depict the above pattern, after all, the sterling patterns and patterns of this era are very simple, although the painter hand-painted although it takes time, but can also be perfectly copied, not to mention that Li Weiguo is experienced in this area, and soon ready the printing plate.

As for the watermark is the most time-consuming procedure, after all, the watermark is added when making zuò paper, first of all, the watermark pattern has to be copied out, and then the zuò into a cotton net, which is also the most difficult place, even if Li Weiguo is experienced, it took more than half a month to make the mold.

Fortunately, the watermark technology in this era was very low, and it was not as complex as the high-precision digital watermark of later generations, so Li Weiguo only tried it 20 times, and the watermark pattern was highly consistent with the real banknote pattern.

The last step is the red code on the million-pound commercial voucher, which is like an encrypted cipher message, and the code must be obtained to decipher it. Obviously, the Bank of England will not sue Li Weiguo for this code, so Li Weiguo has no way for the time being, he can't code it randomly, because then it will be immediately seen through by the Bank of England, and the fake ¥ banknotes will be exposed to the other party's defense, so it will be meaningless.

Li Weiguo knows that any counterfeit banknote is a one-shot deal, and he has to make a lot of money before it is discovered, and it will be terminated immediately once it is discovered, which is also the experience he summed up in the world and built a huge counterfeit-banknote empire.

Therefore, Li Weiguo searched for some genuine million-pound banknotes as much as possible, and then made many copies according to the above codes, and before the Bank of England reflected it, in different places, taking advantage of the time difference caused by the lack of communication means in this era, cashed out from various branches in England, or cashed out from other merchants, and when the other party found out that it was counterfeit, Li Weiguo had already left with the money.

Of course, Li Weiguo couldn't expose himself, so he had to plan carefully.

Fortunately, it will take more than half a year to transport the timber back from Canada, and during this time, Li Weiguo needs to forge some business identities and find a group of reliable people to act as shields, and if necessary, he only needs to kill people to prevent his identity from being exposed.

Li Weiguo stayed at the AIIB in Shanghai for two months, during which time in addition to taking care of the affairs of the AIIB and secretly making printing plates, the first batch of various machines and equipment imported from Europe and the United States have arrived one after another, and the commissioning has been completed, and the construction of the factory building can be started.

However, Li Weiguo recently found that he had encountered a problem, that is, many good land and good areas in Shanghai County were occupied, although Li Weiguo sent people to spend money to buy some land, but more land owners did not sell at all, among which there were many children of flag people, they relied on their identity as flag people, either the lion opened his mouth, or he did not dump Li Weiguo at all.

In the future, Li Weiguo will not worry about this kind of thing at all, and directly send some filial piety to certain departments, or hire some ruffians and hooligans, and he can get the owner of the land in minutes.

But now it's not good, the other party is a flag man, in this era, that's the master, no one dares to provoke. The law is also biased towards the banner people, for example, if the Han people kill the flag people, they will have to pay compensation for the death penalty if they kill them, and if the flag people kill the Han people, they will not be held accountable if they are reasonable, and they will only be assigned if they are not reasonable. (In fact, he was only sent to other places to continue to be the master, which is the same as the fact that a certain official has an accident in the local area and then re-takes office in other places after a period of time)

Li Weiguo didn't meet the banner people in Chongming County, so he didn't feel how strong their power was, because it was only an island in the middle of the river, and few flag people were willing to go over. But Shanghai County is different, here is Shanghai Road, Susong Tai Road, Shanghai County Order, is a large administrative center, so there are many banner people, enclosing a lot of land.

Zhang Xiaoliu also touched the nail in his belly, and he said fiercely: "I heard that every time the Taiping army captures a city, it kills all the banner people in the city and takes their property, which is really annoying, why don't you invite a Taiping army to enter the county seat of Shanghai and kill all those banner people, the large piece of good land they occupy is not the young master's, and it doesn't cost money." ”

Li Weiguo smiled bitterly: "I regard Shanghai County as the future nest management, how can I tolerate the Taiping army coming in to cause trouble?" ”

Suddenly, Li Weiguo seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly sank. He remembered that when the Taiping army rebelled, the county seat of Shanghai was once captured by the Xiaodaohui and occupied for a year, and later because the Taiping army failed to march eastward in time, the Xiaodaohui failed and withdrew from Shanghai.

"His grandmother's, I almost forgot about it!"
