Listening to Lin Mo's story, everyone was thinking carefully, but the boss, section chief and the people from the Operation Group 2 nodded frequently. The people in the Information Group 2 looked like they wanted to scratch their heads, obviously pretending to be pretending.
Sure enough, after Lin Mo said that, Wang Hefeng waited for a while and couldn't help but say, "What's the saying about that profit."
After hearing this, Lin Mo explained the tricks of the price difference between China and foreign banks and said: "Because the new currency will be associated with foreign currencies, and the exchange rate should be relatively fixed, it can be simply understood that it is a corresponding proportion of foreign currencies.
If the exchange is made at the domestic silver price and then the silver money is sold abroad for foreign currency, the sale abroad will definitely be calculated at the international silver price. The difference between this is profitable?"
Wang Hefeng clustered his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and then said in confusion: "Do we want to sell the silver too?...This...it seems...it is also causing the silver to flow out?"
"It's right to say this, but it's not right! It's right, because silver is indeed outflowing, and it's not right, because it can't be confused with smuggling."
Lin Mo first gave the conclusion before continuing to explain to him: "The new currency is related to foreign currency. When issuing, you need to prepare the corresponding amount of foreign currency before you can issue the new currency, and there are restrictions on the amount.
If there is no sufficient foreign currency preparation and too many new coins are issued, it will lead to depreciation of the new currency, and the currency value fluctuates greatly, which will naturally affect economic and financial stability. It will be meaningless to implement the new currency policy.
This is still a normal situation. If you issue too much new coins, Japanese, speculators, etc., you will most likely take the opportunity to mess with you. I guess the Japanese will definitely not miss this opportunity.
For example, through some means, a large amount of new coins were obtained, and then foreign currencies were frantically exchanged from the government, and then supplemented with public opinion, which caused market panic and broke runs.
Just like the banknote incident in Shanghai, countless people wanted to cash out the coins on hand, but we did not have enough foreign currency exchange, so there was a stampede. The value of the new currency was leaked for thousands of miles. Not only did the new currency policy completely fail, the national economy will also
Suffered from heavy damage.
The foreign currency in the hands of the government, that is, foreign exchange, is inevitable, so the amount of new coins in exchange for foreign currencies exchanged from the market is used to issue more new coins to meet the demand, and
Nothing can happen.
But it is indeed a fact that silver flows out. Before talking about the difference, let’s talk about the reasons for the implementation of the new currency policy! The main reason is that silver has risen, and the rise in silver prices has had an impact on the government economy.
There are two paths for the impact. One is that foreign goods are calculated in foreign currencies. The rise in silver prices does not affect the price denominated in foreign currencies. However, we are buying and selling with silver money. When more foreign currencies are worth, it is equal to our money
It becomes valuable, which means that the price of foreign goods has dropped sharply.
It is true that we can buy more foreign goods, but the things we produce in China are priced in silver and the price has not changed. However, compared with foreign goods, it is equivalent to a disguised price increase.
When we export goods, we have to exchange them for foreign currency. How much money has increased, our goods are equivalent to how much it has increased in the past. Our goods exported abroad have become extremely expensive.
In this way, the prices of the goods we produce soared, so people are naturally unhappy to buy them. In this way, domestic factories, workshops and even farmers will be greatly impacted, and people will go bankrupt and unemployed, etc.
They are unemployed and bankrupt, have no income, and when they spend all their savings, the shops and shops that do their business will also be affected, and continue to affect and expand and spread quickly. There is no need to say much about the situation.
Foreign goods are cheap and expensive, which will inevitably lead to a sharp increase in imports and a sharp drop in exports. This will not only cause a huge impact on many domestic industries, but also widen the import and export gap, which means the outflow of silver.
The outflow of silver is another path that affects the domestic economy, because silver is our currency, and the reduction in market silver will not only lead to a shrinking transaction, but will also make silver and money rare, which will also make everyone not easily use money, leading to an economy.
Been hit harder.
Of course, if it is just a simple import and export of commodities that lead to silver outflow, the process is still relatively slow. What is troublesome is the silver outflow caused by price difference between domestic and foreign silver prices.
Silver smuggling is the act of speculators and Japanese with ulterior motives secretly transporting silver abroad after the government restricted the sale of silver from the country.
The reason for the impact of silver prices on the domestic economy is that we use silver as a trading currency, that is, the silver standard system, and fluctuations in silver prices will lead to currency fluctuations.
The starting point of the new currency policy is to change this point. Silver is no longer a currency in circulation. The fluctuations in silver prices will naturally not cause currency exchange rate fluctuations, and will naturally not cause commodity price fluctuations. It will naturally not impact the economy too much.
.
As for the outflow of silver at this time, you can also sell it abroad as piece of metal blocks, because it is no longer a currency and no longer participates in economic exchanges, and naturally it will not have too much impact on the economy.
The difference between selling ourselves and smuggling is that the seller is different, from a private illegal act to a government-led legal transaction.
There is still a difference. The government sells it to supplement foreign exchange reserves and then steadily implements the new currency to protect the domestic economy. For private sells, although some foreign currency will definitely fall into the hands of the government, the intermediate loss will not be
few.
Another difference is the time point. We must sell it after the issuance of the new currency, but it still takes time for the issuance of the new currency, and the most rampant smuggling will be this time period. Large-scale smuggling will inevitably have a huge impact on the economy.
.
Another point is that the benefits of silver outflow are different. The benefits caused by smuggling will be divided by a large part of the benefits of smuggling.
In addition to the above-mentioned issue of foreign exchange discounts, many of the interests will flow into the smuggling process. At present, smuggling is mainly organized by the Japanese, and the participating speculators, smuggling merchants and other participants are also colluding with the Japanese.
And they are all enemies."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because the Second Intelligence Group did not participate too much in the previous case and had limited understanding of the situation, Lin Mo sorted out and answered the relevant situation for them in a relatively detailed manner.
After all, Boss Dai brought them to the meeting, which was definitely not aimless. There should be a lot of work in the future, and they should be responsible or assisted. Some situations still need to be explained clearly.
Wang Hefeng nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and asked again: "So, Americans worked hard to raise the silver price, but in the end we benefited from the rising silver price. Can they be happy?"
"How do you talk about this? This question is at the critical point." Lin Mo replied a few words, pondered and thought about it before organizing the language and continuing to speak.
"It is clear whether it is good or bad for us now. We can indeed get some benefits, but this is the result of our active efforts to deal with it. In fact, it also brings huge risks and crises.
They naturally don't want us to get the benefits. For example, before the bill was passed, the government also judged that the bill would bring us a huge impact and had negotiated, but the other side did not take these into consideration.
There is also the matter of new coins. At first, they didn’t have much interest in helping us. Later, some other things happened. After considering various factors, they began to actively contact and negotiate.
Americans insist on raising the silver price. Apart from the domestic reasons, we also want to use the silver price to increase and increase our purchasing power.
Then, through the exchange rate changes, foreign goods are sold at low prices and best-selling, and the goods produced in China are transported in, allowing domestic wealth to flow over to alleviate the weak economic situation in China.
But unfortunately, the small plan was very good, but both the British, French and Japanese took the opportunity to divide the interests. In addition, we did not wait, and after a fight, we found the current situation.
Speaking of this, if we decide to cooperate with the Americans on the newly issued currency, it is recommended to take the advice I mentioned earlier, and exchange it at a price close to the international silver price.
Because of this, most of the gains from the rise in silver will be spread to the public, and the purpose of increasing purchasing power will be achieved. Although trade cannot soar as a result, it will still have a certain increase, so that the Americans' plans will not be wasted.
If you operate it, you can use this as a negotiation condition and it should have a certain effect. After all, at the government level, we do not have much interest exchanges with the United States. If the benefits are concentrated in the hands of the government, they may not be very happy.
At present, at the government level, our foreign exchanges are concentrated on military and national defense, while we have chosen Germany now, and the United States, for various political considerations, it is difficult for them to give us what we want.
Of course, according to the news, there are also large investments from Americans in Germany, and Germany's military industry is an important pillar of its economy.
However, due to the restrictions of relevant European treaties after the war, it is difficult for it to consume huge military production capacity in China, and its development has become exhausted. However, the development of military industry requires funds to innovate technology, so it is urgently necessary for someone to spend money to purchase its military products.
Internationally, a great power with a large need for national defense and security can basically meet its own needs. After counting it, we are the largest potential buyers of military products in the world.
So I think that the military cooperation that is being discussed with Germany should be happy to see that those Americans who invest in Germany can operate it, and they can work it in a circle to get more support, and strive to implement the new currency as soon as possible."
"…Wait..." As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Wang Hefeng quickly spoke and asked, "When I go to the United States and Germany, why do I become more confused the more I listened? Can I explain it in detail?"
Lin Mo nodded and said, "This matter does not conflict, but adopts two strategies. It is also aimed at two different groups who are lobbying, so that they can speak for us and let the new currency be implemented as soon as possible.
The former uses most of the interests of rising silver prices to stay among the private sector to increase private purchasing power and possible expectations of import increase, so that groups engaged in trade and commodity production can speak for us.
The latter, based on the stable domestic economic and fiscal situation, will likely carry out large-scale military cooperation and procurement with Germany, so that the Americans who invest in Germany can speak for us.
The former is mainly an industrial group, while the latter is mainly a financial aspect. We use some people and channels to resign from lobbying with this statement, let them stand on our side, and put pressure on the government to allow the government to pass the new currency as soon as possible.
And implement it quickly.”
After talking about the tricks inside, Lin Mo said these things again, and explained them carefully and finally let Team Leader Wang and others figured it out.
Boss Dai finally affirmed Lin Mo's analysis and asked him to summarize the relevant situation into a report, obviously accepting his suggestions.
After finalizing this matter, Boss Dai once again cast an inquiring look at Lin Mo. After considering some consideration, Lin Mo continued to speak.
"Boss, there is another thing that needs attention, that is, the issue of counterfeit currency. Even if we defeated the Japanese conspiracy and calculations in the matter of silver smuggling, they would never give up.
From the late Qing Dynasty to Beiyang, to various warlords, many paper money were issued, but they all ended in failure, including many reasons for the government at that time.
But behind the failure, there is no shortage of Japanese people who interfere, and the means they use is to counterfeit currency, and their ability in this can be seen from the counterfeit currency collected this time.
When the government issues paper money, it should also pay special attention to this issue and make some preparations in advance. In addition to spying and preventing these things, we should also take some counterattack measures.
The government does not have much currency printing ability. In order to prevent it from being easily imitated, it should seek help from abroad. The printing ability of Europe and the United States is indeed stronger than that of Japan, but if Japan really puts its efforts into it, it is difficult to prevent it.
Therefore, we still have the ability to attack. We suggest that we invest in setting up a unit to study paper currency, which can not only study how to distinguish counterfeit currency, but also study how to produce counterfeit currency.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! Of course, it can be counterfeited, and can also study, design and manufacture new banknotes, enhance anti-counterfeiting, etc., so as to more conveniently maintain currency security and reduce external dependence.
These risks.”
After Lin Mo said that, Lin Wenhua couldn't help but interrupt and said, "We are studying currency and how to fake these things. I'm afraid it's not appropriate? This is a bit of a taboo to go beyond the line!"
Lin Mo nodded when he heard this, but said helplessly: "That's right! But at present, no one except us will be willing to invest enough money in this work.
Another thing is that this matter is much more relevant than imagined. In short, this department can help us forge documents, information, etc., and facilitate our espionage activities.
We must be an important part of the use of counterfeit currency to attack the other party, and the other side is the same. It is impossible to come in a silence, and it is likely that we will use intelligence agencies to do these things.
So! Our intelligence system is inevitably involved in this matter. Whether it is to prevent investigation or to counterattack in the concealment, we need to do so.
If we can only defend blindly, it will be too passive for us, but the government cannot invest a lot of resources in this matter to cooperate with us, so we can only do it ourselves.
Of course, we must have to approve and send someone to supervise it. It is a bit more cross-border, but with our relationship with the principal and our ample hands, there is really no need to worry about it."
"The cost is very high?" Lin Wenhua asked curiously. He really didn't have an intuitive understanding of the situation in this regard.
"There is almost no foundation in China, so from the research and production of paper, to the addition of printing equipment, to the engraving, plate making, ink color mixing, etc., to the full research, and the construction of relevant factory personnel, all
It needs to be prepared one by one.
After a series of calculations, I don’t have a count of how much it will cost, but if I want to achieve what I said, it will definitely not be low. It is also difficult for the above to approve this expense. At most, it is planned part of it, but in this way, it is inevitable.
Being restricted everywhere and having a lot of trouble, it is difficult to respond quickly…”
