Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Fat Sheep Crossing
Lao Zhang directly broke Nomura's lies, Nomura and Lost Field were extremely embarrassed, they didn't have a good heart, relying on the black market to buy tickets, and then come to run the official silver number, this kind of behavior is despicable enough.
Unfortunately, I received a batch of fake tickets, and the typical stealing of chickens does not make rice, and I deserve to die.
"Mr. Lost Field, we have known each other for a long time, you fell into the well, and as a result, you got a bunch of counterfeit money, this is all self-inflicted, I can't control it!"
"Master Zhang, this is all a misunderstanding, Zhengjin Bank absolutely did not participate in the problem of the run, but some people who were ticketed did not believe in the ticket, so they took the initiative to deposit it in Zhengjin Bank, and as a result, a large number of counterfeit money appeared, and what we need to solve now is the problem of counterfeit money!"
Nomura's face is indeed thick enough, he opened his eyes and said nonsense, Lao Zhang frowned, put the cigarette pouch rod on the table, and said in a deep voice: "After discovering the counterfeit money, we acted quickly and tried to find evidence. Mr. Nomura, can you guarantee that these counterfeit coins are not a deliberate trick by the bank? ”
"Zhang Sang, Zhengjin Bank will never do such a thing, you are slandering the dignity of Great Japan, I hope you will retract what you just said!"
Zhang Zuolin glared at him and said sharply: "My old Zhang spit is a nail, and he will never take it back." If you can run the official silver number, you can print fake tickets, and then you are afraid that the thief will shout to catch the thief! ”
Lao Zhang's attitude is very tough, it is obviously a matter of fault for the Japanese, where can he be intimidated by them! Oda and Nomura glanced at each other, and also felt that things were tricky, every time they dealt with Zhang Zuolin, Oda felt depressed and vomited blood.
Fortunately, Nomura was also thick-skinned enough, and continued: "Zhang Sang, we definitely don't mean to run on the official silver number, but we just saw that the ticket was not reliable, so we were in a hurry to exchange it. ”
"There is nothing unreliable about the ticket, and the official silver number is fully capable of all the exchanges!"
Lost Tian seized the opportunity and immediately said: "In this case, Zhang Sang, it is better to exchange all the tickets in the hands of Zhengjin Bank, we can all be easier!" ”
Lost land is not stupid, and then entangled with Zhang Zuolin on the issue of counterfeit money, there is no clue, so they simply force the palace directly, and let Lao Zhang exchange the tickets quickly, fortunately, they still have about three million tickets in their hands, in their opinion, it is already the limit of the exchange ability of the official silver number.
Even if you can barely exchange it, you can squeeze all the reserves out. As long as Zhang Zuolin is forced into a corner, he can take back the initiative, and then investigate the problem of counterfeit money.
How do you know that Lao Zhang was not ambiguous at all, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, no matter how many there are, you can exchange it, but Mr. Nomura, if you get another bunch of counterfeit money, then don't blame Zhang for turning his face and not recognizing people!" ”
Nomura was suddenly full of anger, so he simply didn't talk nonsense, and directly arranged for someone to move the three million over. Zhang Zuolin also called Zhang Tinglan over, and also brought a group of staff to check the currency.
In the process of transporting, Nomura said again: "Zhang Sang, the two people you detained, they exchanged 700,000 yuan, deducting counterfeit money, and 450,000 yuan, please exchange them together!" ”
"Mr. Nomura, I'm afraid this won't work, that money is all stolen goods, and we will deal with it after the counterfeit money case is a bit eyebrow-raising."
"If you can't solve the case for three or five years, will our money be dragged on forever?"
"Of course it won't be dragged on forever." Zhang Tinglan spoke at this time: "But we must first make sure that the counterfeit money is not made by your Zhengjin Bank, and then we can exchange it, to put it mildly, your suspicion has not been cleared, and now we can exchange it for you, which is already a great favor!" ”
Nomura still had to argue, but the loss of land on the side gave him a look, and he didn't let him continue to entangle on this issue, and soon the person who took the money ran back, with a full three million tickets, packed several leather boxes, and placed them in front of Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan.
Nomura also showed a smug smile on his face: "Zhang Sang, a little money, please exchange it now!" ”
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Tinglan asked several staff members to check in public to prevent counterfeit money from mixing. These have been cleaned by the staff of Zhengjin Bank, and there are no counterfeit money in them, so the inspection went smoothly.
"Mr. Nomura, it's three million dollars in total, and to be honest with you, it's still difficult to convert it all into gold and silver. Don't know if you can accept payments in pounds? ”
"Pounds? How did I hear that when you exchanged for Liu Mingqi, you provided Russian bank bonds? Could it be that the capital in hand is not enough, and you have to use pounds to make up the amount? ”
Zhang Tinglan was overjoyed when he heard Nomura take the initiative to mention Russian bonds, but he didn't expect Nomura to be as stupid as Liu Mingqi and take the initiative to step into the trap, which was really overjoyed, but Zhang Tinglan still pretended to be reluctant.
"Three million is not a small amount, all paid with bonds, once there is a loss, I am afraid that your bank will not be able to bear it!"
"The credibility of the banks of Japan is like gold, we will eat as many bonds as there are, and I heard that the bonds are offset according to the ninety-five discount, so we don't do such a cost-effective business."
Nomura focused on bonds, and he also had his calculations. Miki opened the door to Russia by buying a large number of bonds and obtained a large number of arms orders, and as a competitor, Nomura also coveted the Russian market, hoping to open the door to Russian finance with the help of bonds.
After Liu Mingqi exchanged it, he reported to Nomura that the official bank had Russian bonds, and Nomura immediately targeted the bonds, and nothing else could arouse his interest.
"Mr. Nomura, since you are so interested in bonds, then we will naturally meet your request!"
Zhang Tinglan couldn't wait to give them all this garbage, and quickly took the bonds, with a total value of nearly 3.2 million, without any mud and water.
Neither Nomura nor Oda expected that Zhang Tinglan would be so happy, and he really took out so many bonds, and there was a look of horror in his eyes.
"Mr. Nomura, the Mukden Industrial Group has reached a trade contract with Russia, under which we will provide Russia with grain, canned food and other military supplies, and these bonds are the advance payment of the Russian side for the goods. The Fengtian Industrial Group has strong reserves, even if all the tickets are exchanged, there is no difficulty, and no one should try to make waves on the ground in Fengtian, otherwise the consequences will be borne by themselves! ”
Strength is confidence, Zhang Tinglan simply showed a hole card and knocked the little devils, so that they did not dare to act rashly.
When Nomura heard this, his face really changed drastically, he didn't figure out the opponent's hole cards in advance, so he recklessly bought the ticket and came to run. As a result, not only did it not succeed, but it withdrew from the problem of counterfeit money, causing Zhengjin Bank to lose more than one million, and Nomura regretted it.
"Zhang Sang, although the three million have been exchanged, you must investigate the problem of counterfeit money as soon as possible. The empire will not relax its investigation, you can slander the empire for fraud, the empire also suspects that this is a farce directed and acted by you, let's see! After Okita left these words, he and Nomura left the Shuaifu.
"Damn, these little devils are not stupid, they are suspicious of us!" Lao Zhang smiled: "Tinglan, have you found a scapegoat for this problem of counterfeit money?" ”
"Seventh Master, last time we clashed with the Japanese, we used the Koreans to top the tank, I think this time it is better to use the Russians as a scapegoat. Now Tsarist Russia is in turmoil, there is a large number of opposition to Liliang, and the three eastern provinces also have their activities. In order to raise funds for the event, these guys printed counterfeit banknotes, and it happened that the Japanese took advantage of the black market to buy them, and they fell into the hands of the Zhengjin Bank. In this way, the Japanese themselves did not have a good heart, and as a result, they were cheated by the Russians, and it has nothing to do with us, even if they are suspicious, we don't have to worry! ”
After listening to this, Lao Zhang nodded, but there was still a trace of hesitation: "This excuse is very good, but there are still flaws, the main areas of activity of the Russians are in Heilongjiang and Jilin, not Mukden, and the ruble should also be preferred for printing counterfeit money, so the Japanese will not easily accept this statement." ”
The biggest flaw in this method is not here, but that this method has already been used, and when the stick was cleaned up, the anti-Japanese organization was used to gag the mouths of the Japanese, and finally the Zongsha Party was brought down. Now the old trick is repeated, and the Russians will bear the blame, which will inevitably make the Japanese suspicious.
"Little devils are also cautious and narrow-minded, and they must make things clear in order to keep their mouths gagged. Tinglan, you have a good idea. However, we still need to consider the details, and it is better not to find out on our own initiative, so that the Japanese will be suspicious! ”
While Zhang Tinglan was thinking, the Jewish Fred suddenly took the initiative to go to the Shuaifu and found Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan, and Fred had a very serious expression when they saw him.
"Division Commander Zhang, I want to tell you the good news that a batch of important munitions is about to pass through the Middle East Road, including eight 122-mm howitzers, 50 Maxim machine guns, and a large number of shells and bullets. There's also a bullet production line ordered from the United States, and a batch of gun repair equipment, which I think you urgently need! ”
Suddenly, Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Zuolin's eyes widened, Lao Zhang's rarest thing is the eight howitzers, four of which have been obtained before, which are enough to equip a heavy artillery battalion.
Zhang Tinglan is interested in the bullet production line and maintenance equipment, the official silver number has been obtained, and the Fengtian Machinery Bureau has become a thing in the palm of his hand, with the bullet production line, the future Fengtian Arsenal finally has an eyebrow.
"Old friend, you ordered the production line and the machine, right?"
"That's right, Zhang, I know you've coveted these things for a long time, and I bought them off from the Governor of the Far East in his name. However, there is one biggest difficulty, the value of this batch of munitions is greater than ever, so there is a squadron of Japanese soldiers escorted along the way, and after arriving in Changchun, the Russian soldiers will take over, and if they don't get rid of them, they will definitely not get weapons! ”
I just received a notice that No. 1 was on the shelves, and it came with a strong push, very suddenly. The small ones try to save the manuscript as much as possible, and thank you for the support of the book friends, thank you again and again!
