Chapter 152: The Only Option

Chapter 152 The Only Choice (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) Read! )

Yokohama.

The sun was shining outside the window, and there were no clouds, all of which were sunny days in early autumn.

In a room in a Western-style building in Yokohama with a bronze plaque of Fortress Trading Co., Ltd., a young man in a suit and leather shoes seems to be immersed in a pre-existing and future mood.

Career, success, fame.

Watching the folded paper in the copper tray turn to ashes with the flames, Guan Zhicheng sighed triumphantly.

"It's really the day of autumn!"

"yes, it's a nice day."

Sitting in front of Guan Zhicheng, Shao Linhe echoed softly, and there was no flattering smile on his face when he agreed, but only a little proud.

After watching the piece of paper turn to ashes, Guan Zhicheng walked to the window, pushed open the wooden window, and looked at the crowded street.

"765 tons of raw silk, 280,000 pieces of cotton cloth, 450,000 quintals of cotton yarn...... Tsk, that's tens of millions of yen in assets! ”

And they were all shipped back to China, and the section chief's words made Shao Linhe mutter in his heart.

As the vice president of Fortress Trading Co., Ltd., he and Guan Zhicheng jointly opened this "Fortress Trading Co., Ltd." in Japan with a registered capital of 10 million yen more than a month ago, and in just one month, there were 53 branches throughout Japan, which was actually an organization that carried out economic warfare against Japan.

Subsequently, batches of Imperial Bank of Japan banknotes of 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan, and 50 yuan were turned into old banknotes through a special process, and secretly transported to Japan, where they were mixed with real yen and were respectively organized by "trading companies" under jiāfu companies. These holiday dollars became widely popular in just one month, and became an important means of grabbing goods, undermining Japan's financial order, and even seeking special funds from the intelligence bureau and bribing Japanese personnel.

However, on the one hand, the various branches of the club have purchased restaurants and restaurants all over Japan, as well as a large number of jewelry and even clothing, and the special and rapid "consumption" is setting off a small high in Japan's economic development this year

When a large amount of banknotes from Japan are put on the market, most of them are used directly to make purchases where the yen can be circulated. The large purchase of Japanese goods led many Japanese businessmen to think that with the end of the war and the improvement of their international status, it was understandable that the economic situation was very good.

The influx of large amounts of yen into the market has increased the amount of money in circulation, creating a false boom similar to the influx of hot money. In the short term, shopping in Japan because of these counterfeit banknotes led to a false boom. Of course, because of the circulation of a large number of banknotes in the market, the price of goods in Japan has continued to soar, and this soaring has shown a "reasonable" surge with the help of the Japanese government.

The war that broke out a year ago caused prices in Japan to soar as a result of the war, and ordinary people became more and more unable to afford them. Originally, prices were supposed to fall at the end of the war, but because of the inflow of a large amount of "hot money," the rate of decline was slowed down, and the Japanese government, which had fought a general war in the middle of the war, did not know how long it would take to transition from a special period of war to a normal period, and what kind of pattern the price decline would be, and naturally attributed all this to the "problems left over from the war."

In fact, in the whole process, the Japanese government played a role in fueling the fire, if it was before the war, Japanese companies that made a lot of profits, naturally would purchase a large number of machinery from abroad, so as to increase the output of goods, but during the war, in order to avoid the outflow of gold and silver coins, the Japanese government temporarily issued a decree restricting the cashing of gold and silver coins. This decree was supposed to be canceled after the end of the war against Lu, but because the Japanese government decided to fight against China, not only was the decree not canceled, but even in order to repay the interest, it further strengthened the supervision to avoid the exchange of gold and silver coins by the people in order to preserve their value, resulting in the government not having enough gold and silver coins to purchase materials from abroad or repay the interest.

As a result, companies with a large number of banknotes, because there are not enough coins, or they cannot purchase machinery from abroad, or use letters of credit to purchase, a large number of banknotes either sleep in safes, or flow between the market, and the industrial chain formed by Fortress and other companies is still running, and the counterfeit banknotes are sent to Japan at the same time as sending orders.

This has allowed counterfeit banknotes to circulate temporarily in the production sector, and the effects of counterfeit banknotes have not yet fully spread to the financial markets. Of course, these counterfeit banknotes continue to pour into Japan, and once detonated, it is enough to cause a terrifying financial disaster. ,

Of course, for the latter, Guan Zhicheng, as an intelligence officer, can't understand, and he doesn't need to understand, for him, the most important thing is to complete the task, complete the task of spending money, this task is very simple and direct, but it also needs to be done cautiously, and if you are not careful, you may fall into a place of no return.

"Ji Qin, do you think they've noticed us now?"

In addition to the intention, Guan Zhicheng said without worry.

Shaking his head, Shao Linhe looked confident.

"Once dozens of clubs are scattered, most are only a few million, and the few are only a few hundred thousand, it is difficult to attract attention, not to mention, you haven't read the newspaper mentioning that the current market boom is all ......"

"With the victory of the war against Ru, international financial capital is full of confidence in Japan and has increased its investment ...... Japan"

With a sneer, Guan Zhicheng couldn't help but sigh for the arrogance of these Japanese, if they were a little clearer, they might be able to discover a fact, that is, if there is an influx of capital, then their bank should have a corresponding gold and silver transfer, but in fact?

"That's not enough!"

Although he is proud of his current performance, Guan Chengzhi knows that there is still a big gap between this and his task.

Before the war, Japan's per capita tax burden was 1.5 yen, but now it is 5.5 yen, and the misery of the Japanese life is far beyond the imagination of the Chinese, the workers are so, the same is true of the peasants, and even the vast majority of peasants rent land for one year, after the jiā tax jiā rent, it is not enough to make ends meet, can only borrow usury, and finally sell the NV to make a living. ”

mentioned "the suffering of the Japanese people" in his mouth, but Guan Zhicheng's face did not see any sympathy at all, sympathy, why should they sympathize with them, this is their choice.

In this process, Japanese landlords have always been the largest "lenders" in the private sector, and for us, this may be an opportunity to extend the bank's credit business to the countryside and provide loans to those farmers who have no food and clothing, and of course the collateral can even be their NV, China also needs prostitutes. ”

Prostitute NV!

With his eyes open, Shao Linhe almost couldn't believe that this was the words spit out from the mouth of an intelligence officer of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation, shopping materials from Japan, and then Jiā to domestic companies to offset imported materials, he can also understand that this is at least a "capital preservation business", and now he actually hit the idea on the prostitute NV, is it possible that he wants to "import" the Japanese prostitute NV for the country?

"It's just an idea, if necessary, of course, it's not impossible to consider, you know, brothels have always been the best place to collect information, maybe not exported to the country, but we can open our own brothels, so as to get information in all aspects!"

Glancing at Shao Linhe, Guan Zhicheng's eyes seemed to say, this is the gap between you and me, and it is also the reason why you are only an intelligence officer now.

"And these are just to increase our delivery, and the most fundamental point is ......"

Lowering his head slightly, Guan Zhicheng continued.

"We need to use fake accounts to make up for some problems, we got tens of millions of yen from home, but we paid nearly 10 million yuan in cash to the Bank of Japan, although this is to get the attention of the Japanese banknote and the bottom of the government, but the cost is too high, at least this kind of business is not cost-effective, if we master a bank, we can play the numbers game, so as to reduce capital expenditure, maximize the benefits!"

"But!"

After being silent for a while, looking at the section chief, Shao Linhe said hesitantly.

"Kojima, will he answer?"

Kojima was half a month ago, the section chief chose a "partner" based on the information sent from China, but at the time of the initial contact, he rejected the section chief's kindness, and if he did not agree, he would not be able to solve the problem by relying only on the small banks that he was in contact with so far.

"The one who should come will always come, he can't last a few days on the island!"

Just then, there was a knock outside.

"Come in!"

A staff member walked in and reported.

"President, Mr. Kojima is here!"

Hearing that the island had arrived, Guan Zhicheng nodded with a smile and said.

"Got it! Please come in! ”

When he responded, he seemed a little excited, looking at Shao Linhe, the corners of his lips raised slightly.

"Well, I said, he won't last long!"

Even when a small Japanese walked in, he hurriedly walked over and greeted him warmly.

"Kojima-kun, I'm really sorry to let you come here in person!" ,

As he spoke, Guan Zhicheng bowed a standard 90 degrees to the island in front of him.

Kojima Yoshimura is dressed in a suit, and as a traditional banker in Osaka, although he has a short stature typical of Japanese people, his extremely serious expression and Osaka accent of Japanese, no one doubts that he is not a qualified banker.

But in fact?

But anyone who knows him knows that although his Xinheng Bank has branches in every county, in fact, this bank has already run out of capital because of several venture capitals he has made, and is facing the possibility of bankruptcy at any time.

"Mr. Tamura!"

The bow was returned to a ninety degree bow, but Kojima did not mean to straighten his waist.

"Now only you can help me tide over the current difficulties, according to the terms we negotiated before, if you are willing to inject another 10 million yen, then 60 shares of the bank will be transferred to your club, from now on, the bank's business will be given to Mr. Tamura, how to do the specific management, I will definitely not interfere with you!"

When he spoke, Kojima who was bent over was still holding a contract with both hands, and now Kojima was desperate, although his Xinheng Bank was the work of three generations of the Kojima family, but if it could not be funded this time, not only Xinheng would no longer exist, but the same would also cease to exist along with the Kojima family.

When he invested in the Northeast industry last year, he thought that Japan would get everything in South Manchuria, so he mobilized most of the bank's liquidity bonuses, and made a large amount of investment in South Manchuria with the help of a branch in China, and in the end all the investment was a bamboo basket, and now he blocked the news, but once it came out, everything was complete, except for bankruptcy, he had no other choice at all.

And once the bank goes bankrupt, in order to show responsibility, Kojima knows that he must disembowelment to apologize, but ...... He didn't have that courage, let alone the courage to let the Kojima family bear this shame.

A week ago, the president of Fortress Club, Tamura, approached him, hoping to get Xinheng Bank, but he refused at that time, and now, with the expiration of several certificates of deposit, he has no choice.

"Mr. Kojima......"

With a cold snort, Guan Zhicheng, who was alias Kenzo Tamura, just smiled and looked at Kojima, looking at his contract, which he had left to him a week ago, when he rejected him, and now he came to beg him. It was really a few days to the east of the river, and a few days to the west of the river.

In the past month, Fortress has been involved in almost every industry in Japan, from retail to wholesale, from hotels to restaurants, there are almost no industries in Japan that Fortress Company is not involved in, and even bought several Russian merchant ships captured by the Japanese Navy and established a shipping company, but all this did not complete his task at all.

Therefore, choosing a bank to speed up your "investment" in Japan has become the quickest option. And the Shin Heng Bank in Yoshimura, the small island in front of him, is a bank that he has chosen to choose.

"You should know ......"

President Tamura's long term in exchange for a wave of nervousness on Kojima, he once thought that he could work around from other places, but now not to mention his small bank, even the bank of the Imperial Bank is also tight, and working capital is a joke at all.

"President Tamura, you are the only one who can help me now, please be sure to help!"

Another deep bow, this time Kojima even wants to die, if he doesn't help himself, maybe he should find a place and drink a glass of poisoned wine.

Glancing at the submissive island, Guan Zhicheng continued.

"I didn't say I wouldn't help you, but ......"

He was halfway through his mouth, but he didn't continue.

Xiao Dao hurriedly said:

"What? President Tamura, as long as you are willing to help, I am willing to accept any conditions! ”

But Guan Zhicheng didn't speak for a while. I don't seem to know how to go on.

"Mr. Kojima, it's not that the president doesn't want to help, but the president is also very difficult now!"

Shao Linhe, who was originally silent next to him, took the initiative to explain when Guan Zhicheng fell silent.

"Hey! It's not that you don't know, now, the president is also facing some problems, in terms of funds, we can take out the company, but considering some factors, I hope you can understand, sometimes although it is a few days, but a few days, it is very likely that changes will occur that you and I can't expect! ”

"Then, Mr. Okamoto, what do you mean......",

"Let's put it this way!"

Glancing at the president, Shao Linhe continued

"We can offer you a sum of money, but if we say that the president will come forward directly, I am afraid that it will cause some trouble, you know, and many times, we have to think about other reasons......"

"Huh?"

The suspicious Kojima would be really confused, what does Mr. Okamoto mean? You can provide funds, but you can't come forward directly, does that mean......

Looking at Tamura, who was standing in silence, Kojima seemed to understand something, after the undeclared war against Lu Province last year, special decrees were passed throughout Japan for wartime, and wartime economic policies such as requisitioning materials, raising taxes, and increasing working hours were implemented one by one in just a few days.

Since then, there has been almost no normal production in Japan, and all production activities revolve entirely around the war. The government requisitioned goods free of charge or cheaply, and at the same time began to issue a large number of bonds and increase taxes in the country, and the funds obtained were used in the blink of an eye to order more supplies from the big chaebols or the West.

In the early days of the declaration of war, the whole of Japan seemed to be a bit chaotic, with countless men and women, young and old, waving the Rising Sun Flag and shouting "Long live the Emperor!" "The Imperial Army Will Win!" And so on, cheering for the war. Everyone seems to approve of the war, but there are also some people, especially those with a lot of idle money, who, by experience, quickly run to the bank and queue up to withdraw cash. Those who have cash are in a panic looking for food, daily necessities and other materials, as well as gold, silver and other hard currencies to exchange.

They may have acted for various reasons, such as value preservation or speculation, and the government has repeatedly cracked down on such "non-national" behaviors, and the people are also ashamed of these people's actions, and in order to avoid being hit.

During the war, there was an institution that came into being, and they pooled the money of those people, invested it in various industries, carried out all kinds of speculation, shared risks, and shared profits, and now that the war is over, it is time to "bleach" that money, so they need a bank, but Mr. Tamura, who is in front of him, is not willing to have a relationship with the bank at all, he wants to ......

"Mr. Tamura, I can continue to preside over this bank, of course, all the operations and business are in charge of you, I ......"

With a deep bow again, Kojima fell silent, perhaps this was the only option to save the bank and the Kojima family. A
