Chapter 1094: Scraping together money to pay off debts
Although the military and political power of Wang's puppet government is in the hands of Japanese advisers, Zhou Gaohai is also the No. 3 traitor of Wang's puppet government, and as the minister of finance and president of the Central Reserve Bank, he still has a certain right to know.
The Japanese are greedy by nature, and the economic advisory groups stationed in the Ministry of Finance and the Central Reserve Bank are naturally unclean, and they have made a fortune by grasping information in advance at the Central Reserve Bank and doing speculation one by one.
Since Zhou Gaohai had doubts about the counterfeit fiat currency banknotes that appeared on the market, in order to reassure him, they privately explained the matter to him, saying that the counterfeit fiat currency banknotes were only used by the secret services within the scope of the national control area, and this was part of the military department's economic warfare, and would not have any impact on the side of the Wang puppet government.
It's just that this group of guys who are engaged in the economy have their eyes fixed on money, and their sense of secrecy is far less strong than that of professional agents, and they talk a little too much, and even Sakata Seimori has said it.
"The Japanese despicably and shamelessly use fiat currency counterfeit banknotes to disrupt the economy of the rear, the harm is not insignificant, I plan to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, use the Central Reserve Coupon to fight back, and set up shopping materials and gold in the occupied area, there is no problem on the minister's side, right?" Han Lin asked.
"It's easy for me, the printing of the China Reserve Bills is secret, and it is impossible for me, the Minister of Finance and the President of the China Reserve Bank, not to know about it, and that is a joke." Zhou Gaohai said with a smile.
"Great, helping the Secret Service to carry out a counterattack against the Japanese puppets is a major meritorious performance, if the counterattack makes achievements, I will definitely ask the commission for credit for you, and the minister should take advantage of this opportunity." In addition, the use of fiat currency is prohibited in the occupied areas, and I need a batch of central reserve bonds, and the minister will give me a flexible one, which can be used for loans or other purposes. Han Lin said.
Since May, Wang's puppet government has explicitly banned the use of fiat currency in the areas under its control, and such a move has also caused certain difficulties in the secret service to fund the major latent organizations in the occupied areas.
"Small things, I allocate a sum of money to my brother every month as the funds of the secret service, and secretly open an account in the Shanghai branch, which can be withdrawn at any time, with the printing of more and more central reserve bonds, the denomination of the future issuance will be larger and larger, the depreciation of the money will be faster and faster, and I will continue to increase the number of appropriations."
"As for how I do accounts, write-offs, and write-offs, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters, I am in charge of the bank, it is very convenient to do something in my own department, and those people in the Japanese economic advisory group have a tacit understanding with each other, and they will not check too carefully." Zhou Gaohai said.
It was a conversation that was crucial for both of them, and in general, both parties had achieved each other's goals, and when Han Lin was about to leave in the middle of the afternoon, the husband and wife carried four boxes and put them next to his car.
"Minister, what do you mean by that? I'm not the kind of villain who takes advantage of people's danger and extorts money by virtue of my identity, we are now our own people, you are making me make mistakes and breaking my principles of life. Han Lin looked at Zhou Gaohai with a smile.
"The rules of the game still have to be followed, my purpose is to do this, but to ask for peace of mind!" Zhou Gaohai smiled and said.
"I know what the minister means, it's just some bad habits of officialdom! Anyway, if I insist on not accepting it, it is estimated that the minister will feel uneasy, then I will thank the minister for the gift! Han Lin nodded.
The attaché hurriedly took the box from the husband and wife and put it in the trunk of the car.
Back at the Han Mansion in Jiming Temple, Han Lin opened the box and took a look, two boxes of priceless antique jade, Yuan blue and white porcelain vases, bright jewelry, a box of big yellow croaker and a box of dollars.
It seems that Zhou Gaohai, the head of Wang's puppet government finances, usually embezzles and accepts bribes, and his family foundation is very rich. Compared with others, his conditions are more convenient, and he is the least likely to lack money to spend when he issues central reserve bonds and spends money.
"Boss, you plot against a high-level puppet government like Zhou Gaohai, the return is too high, not only can you obtain the high secrets of the Japanese puppet in the future, but also give us the benefits of the secret service, Zhou Kaihai is the president of the China Savings Bank, and our funds in the occupied areas will be basically solved in the future." Shen Mingfeng said with a smile.
"You're right, from now on, our funds in the occupied areas are settled, every month Zhou Gaohai will allocate funds to the secret account of our secret service through the Shanghai branch, but you should not be too lavish, don't save what you should spend, and save the rest to support our guerrilla areas."
"There are more and more people who have taken refuge in the local area, there is little arable land in the Huangshan area, and they are unable to support so many people, and their lives are very difficult.
"The control scope of our counties cannot be like other war zones to frantically oppress the people, conscription and food regardless of the life and death of the people, the current great famine in Henan Province, it is said that millions of people have starved to death, and there are also great reasons for the local garrison."
"Being able to plot against Zhou Gaohai is not simply our achievement, there is such a situation, I don't know how many officers and soldiers have been bloodied on the battlefield, and how many ordinary people have been burned and plundered by the Japanese puppets, finally Japan has taken an important step towards self-destruction, and the situation has begun to gradually improve, and it must be worthy of thousands of people who have died." Han Lin said.
Anqing General Assembly Residence.
"It's over, we don't have to count on the loan from the Reserve Bank! The Japanese adviser did not agree to the loan, which amounted to 50 million yuan in the amount of China Reserve Bills, saying that the collateral assets were not enough to cover the debts, and most of them were non-performing assets, and there was a risk of becoming bad debts. ”
Chang Yuqing put down the microphone weakly, sat on the chair, and almost collapsed to the ground.
He made a phone call to Zhou Gaohai, and for this reason, he also sent two gifts to Zhou Gaohai's family, but he didn't expect Zhou Gaohai to agree, but the Japanese consultant vetoed it.
To tell the truth, the real estate and shops looted by the Anqing Association he gave were all properties in remote areas, and they were nothing more than fooling around trying to cheat the loan, and he never thought of repaying it, and the lender was still one of his disciples.
This is the money of the Savings Bank of the new government, and it is not Zhou Gaohai's own money, dragging it around, letting his disciples go out to avoid the limelight, it will become a bad debt.
"Brother Chang, this is rice worth 120 million coupons, and the gendarmerie command has been urging us, since the loan can't be issued, how can we solve it?" Qiao Hongnian asked eagerly.
"Stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, as long as the Japanese still need us Anqing will continue to transport food and materials, we have to continue to cover our activities, this time we are miserable, but after a long time, there is always a chance to make up for it."
"Everyone is living a good life by relying on the banner and protection of the Anqing Association, and when it comes to the critical time, we must work together to overcome the difficulties. In this way, I am the head of the Anqing General Association, take the initiative, receive 20 million tasks, and you yourself will tell you how much money you plan to receive, at least 100 million will be raised. ”
"I'll look for Li Shiqun again to see if I can give a discount when I buy food, he is also a member of the Green Gang, and the apprentice of Old Man Ji, he should also help, no matter how much it is not enough, I will temporarily move a little from the reserve fund of the Anqing Association to subsidize it." Chang Yuqing said.
