Chapter 129: Selling Dog Meat on a Sheep's Head?
Qin Hanxu listened to him quietly, and his eyes began to shine.
Qin Di went on to say: "Due to the large-scale use of tanks and airplanes on the battlefield, the role of steel, petroleum, rubber and chemical raw materials in the war has become increasingly significant......
Hearing this, Qin Hanxu gradually understood why he wanted to establish the "East Asian Economic Intelligence Investigation Section". Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles, otherwise how can you fight a war with a black eye?
He pondered for a moment and asked, "What else can I do besides investigate Japan's economic intelligence?"
Qin Di smiled slightly and said, "Japan's economic crisis is not over yet, and there are still many companies that have closed down in Japan. So I want you to go to Japan with my third aunt to take a walk around Japan and take the opportunity to acquire shares in some companies. ”
Qin Hanxu squinted at him: "Could it be that you want to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep?" Nominally, investigating Japanese economic information, in fact, is it to make war money?"
"Hehe, two things seem to be unrelated, but they can become one. Third uncle, if you become the chief of the East Asian Economic Intelligence Investigation Section, and then go to Japan to collect information with great swagger, if the Japanese military finds out about it, it is very likely that you will be put in prison! If you don't do well, you will be killed! And if you go to Japan to buy enterprises and collect economic intelligence by the way, you can disguise your identity and will not attract the attention of others. ”
"You have a point. I'll sort out the materials and write a document first, and then hand over your forged 'President's Letter'! Let's see if Mr. Qing will cut off your skull!"
Subsequently, Qin Hanxu sorted out the materials for a few days, and then took the train to Jinling.
When Mr. Qing saw the letterhead presented by Chen Guofu, he couldn't help but gasp!
"Niang Xipi, you actually forged my handwriting, and imitated it so much! You dare to openly bring it to me and ask me to endorse him! This little red guy is too bold!"
However, he did not get angry, but carefully read the plan, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I agree to this matter! Qin Hanxu is an old man of the Alliance, a few years older than me, and he is willing to go out of the mountains to serve the country, which is a good thing! This secret department, it does not have to be built in Jinling, let him build it in the magic capital, the magic capital is the center of economic activities in East Asia, and it is easier to obtain information. ”
Chen Guofu nodded: "May I ask the president, how to get the establishment of this department?"
Mr. Qing said: "Give him the establishment of twenty people, and let him recruit the specific personnel himself." The salary is provided according to the staff of the Bureau of Survey and Statistics, and he is asked to submit a research report every quarter! I want to read it myself, and you have to send it in time!"
Mr. Qing is not only the leader of the Qingbai Party, but also a bureaucratic capitalist, followed by a group of conglomerates.
He has realized that economic intelligence is not only beneficial to the war of resistance, but also contains the opportunity to make a fortune!
The four major families of Jiang, Song, Kong, and Chen, while working hard for the prosperity of the country, also struggled for the wealth of the family, and the consortium controlled by this group was called bureaucratic capital.
This is not a phenomenon unique to the Republic of China, even in a developed country like the United States, there are arms dealers and oil dealers behind the president.
Wealth is never inseparable from power, and power inevitably brings wealth.
The kind of officials with clean sleeves is just a fantasy in the hearts of the common people.
However, bureaucratic capital was too greedy during the Republic of China, which was one of the important reasons why the Qingbai Party finally lost the support of the people and withdrew from the mainland.
Qin Hanxu only stayed in Jinling for two days, and then he got the president's approval and became the section chief of the "East Asia Economic Intelligence Investigation Section", and he was also very surprised in his heart: "My nephew is really extraordinary, he did it easily, the president not only didn't get angry, but also approved me with a quota of 20 staff, plus an initial capital of 300,000 oceans, so that I can return to the magic capital to be fully responsible for the investigation!"
After he returned to the magic capital, he went to Qin Di to discuss what to do, he felt that this nephew had a very good way, so it was not a pity.
Qin Di could only make a suggestion: "Third uncle, I have a lot of real estate in my hands, and I can help you find a private mansion to use as your office." In addition, I advise you to contact a certain university, put up the title of professor in the school, and set up a 'Modu Economic Society' and create an 'economic journal', and then in the name of the society, hire two sets of people, one to collect public information in the newspaper and write papers for publication in the journal, and the other set of people to Japan and Korea to collect as much secret information as possible, write a detailed report, and hand it over to Mr. Qing. ”
Qin Hanxu thought for a while and said with a smile: "In addition to being able to hide people's eyes and ears, I don't know if there are any other benefits. I know you like the Cunning Rabbit Three Holes. ”
Qin Di said with a smile: "After a few years like this, you will be a famous economist in China! Do you think this is an additional gain?"
"Hey, what do I want that name for?"
"Third uncle, one more thing, don't forget, the third aunt is Japanese, although she has been married to you for 20 years, you still have to be careful. If you publish your paper in a journal under the banner of studying economics, won't you also give her an explanation? Otherwise, will she have a pimple in her heart when she knows that you are spying on Japanese intelligence?"
Qin Hanxu sighed when he heard this: "Alas, it is not what I want to let women get involved in national hatred and family hatred......"
Qin Di said: "Third uncle, if you want to go to Japan to acquire a company, your money may not be enough." I'll give you 30 million yen, that's enough for you to toss, right?"
Qin Hanxu was taken aback: "Where did you get so much money? You usually do business, don't you only accept US dollars and pounds? How can you still have Japanese yen?"
Qin Di smiled slightly, and thought: "I robbed 40 million yen from Fengtian Bank, and the Marshal's Mansion and the rest of the banks have a total of more than 50 million yen, and they are still lying in the storage belt!"
At this time, the yen was still relatively valuable, and a piece of yen was slightly higher than a piece of ocean.
At the end of 1931, one yen was equal to $0.33, and the price of silver had fallen below $0.3.
In the afternoon of the same day, Qin Di pretended to lead Qin Hanxu to the attic of his house, pointed to bundles of yen banknotes and said: "Third uncle, if you bring this money to Japan, you have to spend it slowly like a small stream, don't deposit it in the bank, let alone in the local bank in the magic capital!"
Qin Hanxu was stunned by so much money: "Ah Di, you scared me! So much cash is placed in the attic, not afraid of a fire! Why can't you deposit it in the bank?"
Qin Di said: "Third uncle, don't ask! This money is not clean, and if it is exposed in front of people in China, it will bring disaster to the Qin family! If it is taken to Japan to spend and deposited in multiple banks in batches, it is not a big problem. ”
Qin Hanxu was stunned for a long time, and suddenly, his body trembled suddenly, and he turned his head to see that there was no one around, and then asked in a low voice: "Not long ago, the newspaper published a news that several banks in the Northeast were robbed, could it be that you can't do it?"
Qin Di's face was as usual, and he said with a smile: "Third uncle, look at my skinny appearance, can I be a big thief? Let me tell you the truth, when I went to western Sichuan, I met a warlord, he made a lot of yen for smuggling rare metals, and if he had to exchange it with me for dollars, I exchanged it with him." ”
"Smuggling? That's nothing, how can you say it's not clean?"
"In the past two years, the state has become more and more strict, and the smuggling of tungsten, molybdenum, rhenium, titanium, and other metals is a crime. ”
Qin Hanxu waved his hand: "Forget it, I won't ask." How much is that?"
Qin Di nodded: "About thirty million." ”
Qin Hanxu picked up a stack of banknotes and looked at it, only to see that the head of "Prince Shotoku" was printed on it, and the denomination was "100 yuan exchange coupon".
He had studied in Japan, and his wife was Japanese, so he knew the situation in Japan very well.
Qin Hanxu said: "This kind of exchange coupon can be exchanged for real money. ”
Qin Di glanced up at the calendar and said, "Today is October 20, 1931. Britain has abolished the gold standard, and it is estimated that Japan is also coming soon. Third uncle, why don't I accompany you to Japan and see if I can exchange some gold?"
Qin Hanxu said: "Even if you change the gold, it is not easy to transport it out." The Japanese government is very strict about gold exports. ”
Qin Di thought for a while: "It is estimated that it is difficult to exchange gold at this time, and it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others." I'll wait until Japan is defeated before I go, and then I can loot everywhere, and I can also transfer the blame to the American army!
