After listening to Zhong Heqing's explanation, Sun Yongning finally understood what was going on and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper knows so much. If you hadn't told me, I would have really thought that the other party did this."
Hearing this, Zhong Heqing smiled reluctantly and said, "These things I learned when I was studying. It's a pity that now they can only be used to explain our own nonsense!"
Sun Yongning heard the disappointment in Zhong Heqing's tone, and quickly changed the subject: "Shopkeeper, you are talking about this, how can Shanghai directly send yen here! This..."
Hearing this, Zhong Heqing explained: "This must be a helpless move from Shanghai! Otherwise, how could they send the yen directly?"
"After all, letting our people use Japanese yen directly is very easy to expose. It's not like Shanghai doesn't know about it. If they didn't have any other way, they wouldn't do it."
Sun Yongning was a little puzzled after hearing this, so he asked again: "Then they can't exchange the money into other currencies in Shanghai? As long as they go to the bank to exchange and don't let the money flow into the private sector, then this incident won't happen.
Already?"
Hearing Sun Yongning's words, Zhong Heqing smiled bitterly and said: "It's so easy. Didn't I tell you just now that our entry into Shanghai has infringed on the interests of other people? How can they cooperate with you obediently?"
"The place where we can exchange is our own bank and other people of our own, but our bank in Shanghai, how can they exchange so much money."
"We used to divide the Japanese yen funds we received into small sums, and then secretly sell them to our expatriates or other people in Shanghai, and then exchange them for other currencies."
"And the currencies that are suitable for us to use are the currencies of other countries and gold, but Da Yang is not good at all. It is too large in size and weight, so it is not fast to exchange."
"It is also because of the slowness and the small amount of money being sold at one time. These yen will flow back to our country or occupied areas through commercial activities or other means. Before this, nothing happened, and we were not aware that this problem would occur."
"This time, Qingmao Trading Company was probably in a hurry for money, so they sent the Japanese yen directly and asked them to exchange it themselves. I didn't expect that something like this would happen. Alas..."
After hearing this, Sun Yongning said angrily: "Shopkeeper, I don't think we can all be blamed for this. The people who allocate funds to us should also be responsible."
"They clearly know that we have no way to use Japanese yen directly, but they still want to allocate Japanese yen to us. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for us?"
Zhong Heqing listened and smiled bitterly: "Yongning, how can things be as simple as you think? Domestic gold, silver and foreign exchange are all tilted towards purchasing raw materials, so how can these funds be allocated to us?"
"What's more, even the yen allocated to us, there are a lot of people watching. If we make such a big mistake this time, part of the yen allocated to our special high-tech department will probably be cut off."
After hearing Zhong Heqing's words, Sun Yongning pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Shopkeeper, is there a reason why you asked me to buy the house behind the courtyard?"
After hearing this, Zhong Heqing nodded and said, "Well... your reaction is very fast! I do have some considerations in this regard."
"According to my estimation, the funds we sent to these fools like Qingmao Trading Company should be all the funds saved by T&G over the years, and may even include the funds allocated by Shanghai this year."
"So in the next period of time, we are likely to face a shortage of funds. We need to obtain a sum of funds to survive this period stably."
"That's why I didn't report the matter about this group of black marketeers and seek help from Shanghai, and I didn't plan to deal with it in a big way to avoid leaking the news."
"As for the restaurants, on the one hand, Nanjing, as a transshipment center, is also the focus of our penetration. Although they are relatively independent, they are ultimately under my management."
"On the other hand, they are facing the same situation as us. Once Shanghai reduces or cuts off their funds, they will also be short of money."
"Don't forget that they run such a big restaurant, but when transferring supplies, all aspects have to be taken care of along the way. The restaurant's little income is just a drop in the bucket."
After hearing this, Sun Yongning nodded and said, "Shopkeeper, I understand. I have to do this behind my back, right?"
Hearing this, Zhong Heqing pondered for a moment and then said: "This is also a last resort. After all, the task we have taken on is indeed quite difficult."
"This time, if we gain enough, we will report it to the superiors and share it with them."
"If the harvest is not enough, we should hide this matter first and use it secretly to carry out our mission."
Hearing what Zhong Heqing said, Sun Yongning nodded and asked: "Shopkeeper, should we hurry up and confirm if there is anything buried behind? After all, we don't even know if there is anything buried behind?"
After hearing this, Zhong Heqing shook his head and said, "Yongning, don't worry about these things. Wait until we send these black marketeers away before we do this."
"But we really can't make no preparations. Let's go find some masons tomorrow and seal the alleys behind."
"Remember to build the wall higher, then open a back door, and remove the partitions between the rooms to make things easier for us when the time comes."
"Yes, shopkeeper." After hearing Zhong Heqing's instructions, Sun Yongning quickly agreed.
Zhong Heqing waved his hand and continued: "As for confirming whether there is anything buried behind, you don't have to worry about that. Now I have basically confirmed that there is something buried behind."
"Because our people are even equipped with guns, but the black market gang didn't even respond much and continued to monitor us."
"And these people in the black market must have more information about this treasure than us. If they weren't sure that there was something here, their actions shouldn't be like this."
After hearing Zhong Heqing's words, Sun Yongning understood why Zhong Heqing took the risk of being exposed and equipped the person at the door with a shell gun. It turned out to be to test the opponent.

In another place in Nanjing, Li Dabiao and Cao Jiafu called back Liu Daxiang and Yi Wenbin, who were responsible for surveillance and tracking.
Cao Jiafu still had a smile on his face and said, "Old Liu, we have found something else during this period. A big businessman used to live in that compound."
"But during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this businessman and his whole family lost all traces. We haven't heard any news about this family until now. They must have disappeared."
"Furthermore, we have inquired about the affairs of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Nanjing, and found no records of property or information circulated among the people from this compound."
"After Nanjing was conquered and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fell, this courtyard was occupied by others. Later, this person declined again, and the courtyard was transferred several times before these people bought it."
"We have also checked the people who have bought the compound before, and found that there is no news or sign that anyone suddenly obtained a large amount of property."
"Based on all this, my eldest brother and I speculated that there may be a huge fortune in it, so you must keep an eye on it."
Liu Daxiang was a little hesitant after hearing this, but finally asked, "Second brother, these people are suddenly equipped with guns. It seems that their origins are not shallow. We..."
Cao Jiafu directly interrupted Liu Daxiang's words and said: "Old Liu, you don't need to worry about this matter. Of course, my eldest brother and I have our own opinions. You can just follow our arrangements."
"Yes..." Cao Jiafu's words made Liu Daxiang's heart tremble, and he quickly responded.
Seeing this, Cao Jiafu nodded with satisfaction, his tone softened a lot, and said: "Old Liu, my eldest brother and I know this matter well. You can just go about it with peace of mind. If this thing is done, we won't
I will treat you badly."
"As for the other party's use of guns, this has no impact on our tracking. My elder brother and I have analyzed it and found that there are only two reasons why they did this."
"First, as you said, these people are welcoming some important person, and these arrangements are all prepared for them."
"Secondly, these people may want to do something inside. I asked people to check that the houses they bought these days used to be the back garden of this compound."
"That's why we asked you to keep a close eye on the person. Once the latter situation occurs, they are likely to be preparing to transport the money away. Once you find out that the other party has this intention, you must report the situation immediately."
After hearing this, Liu Daxiang quickly said: "Second brother, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on them and never let them run away with the money."
Although Liu Daxiang said so, he still felt a very strong uneasiness in his heart, because in addition to the two situations mentioned by Cao Jiafu, he had another guess in his heart, but he did not dare to say it out.
After all, although he is capable, because he joined relatively late and was forced to join, his status in the bank is not high, and even the two men do not listen to him very much.
Yi Wenbin's experience was similar to his. He was also dragged in by force, which is why they were often refuted by their subordinates.
Cao Jiafu saw that Liu Daxiang's expression was still not good from the time he came in until now. He remembered the incident between his subordinates and him, and thought that there was something wrong in this area.
So he smiled and said: "Old Liu, I am here to apologize to you on behalf of my subordinates. Don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future."
"Don't you dare..." Cao Jiafu's words startled Liu Daxiang. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Second brother, this matter has nothing to do with them. It's me..."
Before Liu Daxiang finished speaking, Cao Jiafu interrupted Liu Daxiang and said: "Okay, Old Liu, don't explain this matter. I will give instructions and let them fully cooperate with you in the next actions. Everything will be under surveillance."
big."
"Yes..." Since Cao Jiafu had already said this, Liu Daxiang naturally couldn't continue to explain.
When Li Dabiao saw it, he waved his hands to Liu Daxiang and Yi Wenbin, signaling them to go out, and they quickly retreated.
