Lin Zhenping chatted with Lin Mo for a while, and finally got to the point. He opened the big safe and the small safe inside, and pushed the paper information he took out in front of Lin Mo.
"This is a record of related transactions in the silver trading market in the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as some news and situations related to silver trading from the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as daily price fluctuations in the market, etc., all of which are very confidential and important.
message."
Lin Mo put the information under his hands and did not check it immediately. Instead, he asked: "How were these messages sent back? Are they arranged properly?"
Lin Mo could tell at a glance that the style and wording of the text on the header paper must be the decoded secret message, and almost one-third of the paper underneath was consistent with this, including the size. It is estimated that most of them are also the same.
The large number of telegrams made Lin Mo a little worried about whether he might miss something.
"Don't worry! The family has considered all aspects and made very thorough arrangements. Most places are also decorated and executed according to your requirements and opinions.
Normal market news from Britain and the United States is currently being sent back normally by the Lin family. This matter started after the bill was passed and the silver price in Shanghai began to rise. We invested in a batch of silver spot. The behavior was very unusual.
There is no problem with reasonableness.
As for the past, there were not many big changes in the market at that time, and there were only minor situations. Afterwards, transaction status, price trend fluctuations and other relatively sensitive information could be sent back regularly and secretly.
As for the secret communication channels, it can be said that they are set up with nine twists and turns. Relevant news from the United States is sent to South American countries using secretly deployed radio stations and secret messages written in French, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese.
Moreover, the language used by the receiving country will not be the same as that used by the secret message, minimizing the possibility of being intercepted and deciphered.
Then look for sending companies and post offices that can send cross-border telegrams, but whose management is lax or there are tricks in them. They usually use submarine cables to send and send them to avoid being intercepted by others.
The language will be changed again here, and the receiving station will be in Mexico. The British side will also use this method, but at the same time it will be sent to another country in South America. Finally, wired telegraphy will be used to collect the information to Mexico.
At this stage, what we publish ourselves is mainly transaction status, market news and other special circumstances. As for price trend fluctuations, we can directly obtain them locally.
Mexico produces more silver than the United States, and it still uses silver coins. It is closer to Britain and the United States, and it pays more attention to this matter than we do. Before the bill is passed, with a little effort, it can be done through semi-public channels.
People in both countries learned about the silver price trend and even some news on the day they arrived in the two places.
When the bill was officially passed and the rising trend of silver prices in the two places strengthened, a series of reports on the rise and fall of silver prices in the two places were directly published, and there were even a lot of interpretations and forecasts, etc. By collecting various information locally, we provided information to the people in the two places.
The investment helped tremendously.
As for the subsequent transmission process, it was sent to Honolulu through a secret radio station, and then forwarded to the Philippines. In between, the codes in various languages were randomly switched to prevent deciphering.
Then it is forwarded to other places in Southeast Asia or directly to Hong Kong. At this time, it will be directly encoded in Chinese, but we asked professionals for advice on word order, intonation, and wording, which will have some Japanese style characteristics.
Some people who showed up to handle the incident would inadvertently reveal some Japanese habits. This last step was regarded as the last level of interference and misdirection. I think this arrangement should be enough to ensure that we will not be traced in a short period of time.
After the news is transmitted to Hong Kong, it will not be transmitted by telegram under normal circumstances. In case of emergency, the commercial radio station will be notified in code words to remind you to make preparations. The handling and response to these situations will be carried out by the people in Hong Kong.
In fact, there is no appropriate way to deal with it. It’s all on the other side of the world. If there is a real emergency, we can’t help. We just help find ways to get the money out as much as possible when the situation is really urgent to avoid losses.
It's too serious, and this matter is more convenient to operate in Hong Kong and can help a little bit. Fortunately, everything is basically going smoothly so far.
In addition, the people who handle each link are loyal and trustworthy family members, and except for a limited number of people, no one knows what content is being passed on. They know most of the situation, and there are only a few family members on the entire line.
"
After hearing this, Lin Mo was basically relieved, but he was also a little curious and asked: "Can there be so many people at home? They speak various languages and engage in various coding?"
"...It's not as powerful as you think..." Lin Zhenping shook his head and explained: "Most of the people who can arrange it out are those who have worked in commercial banks before. They are quick-minded, knowledgeable, and good at dealing with people, etc.
The Lin family used to do import business, which was quite complicated. People from all over the world could meet people. Those who had the ability to get ahead could be selected. They all knew foreign languages to some extent, and they were not very proficient in speaking, but they could understand simple things and speak.
Knowing some words and so on, everyone basically has one or two things to this level.
Although there are differences in the language words of Western countries, there are many connections, and some even have little difference. With the help of word dictionaries and some intensive training, it will not be a problem to be able to understand and interpret similar languages if you are proficient in one.
Moreover, our coded messages are relatively concise and clear, and there are so many numbers that they cannot be understood or translated. It will not have much impact if they are sent to the next place as they are.
As for passwords, you actually need to select some books, identify them with certain numbers such as book numbers and codes, pick out the corresponding books after receiving the code, and decipher them accordingly. As long as you change frequently, you can still crack it.
It's very difficult, and it's completely sufficient for us.
Moreover, those countries are relatively peaceful, and the control over radios is not strict in many places. The most important thing is that radios are still widely used. There are many public, commercial and private ones in all aspects and industries. In fact, it is not realistic to listen.
Don’t worry too much.”
This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading! Lin Mo nodded. This is indeed reasonable. There are not many cheap interception and recording methods nowadays. It is not a specific target. People who are caught by this method are not unreasonable.
The rate is extremely low, but there is nothing wrong with being careful.
After all, it was a matter involving most of their property, and the interests involved were definitely huge enough. No matter how cautious you were, you couldn't be too cautious. This was part of the reason why Lin Zhenping explained so much in detail.
As for whether Lin Mo knows this, we don’t need to worry about it. Anyway, he just needs to know the arrangement of the process!
Lin Mo roughly flipped through the information and asked, "Uncle Ping, are there any more detailed records of price increases? Are there any newspaper reports related to silver trading that explain these things with more detailed information?"
"...Yes..." Lin Zhenping nodded and replied: "But the time will be ten to fifteen days late at the earliest. It will be delivered by mail, which is almost the fastest. Air mail is also used for delivery, but
There is no transoceanic plane, so shipping by ship will take a lot of time. In the past, it was sent back once after the normal trading period of about five days. Now the situation is changing rapidly, and it will be sent back once every two or three days."
Lin Zhenping went to get these detailed information from Lin Mo. Lin Mo asked him to get some white paper, preferably large blank drawing paper, as well as pencils and rulers.
Cai Zhenping doesn't draw or write, but he does have drawing paper in his office. As soon as he took it, he took a knife to Lin Mo. This thing was a high-grade paper that was supplied to the royal family and important ministers. It still had a bit of age and weirdness to it.
Used to give to arty customers, or people who are elegant people to maintain relationships.
The things are not easy to get, but they are not that important. They are placed in the office just to take them out when needed and increase the value of these things.
Lin Mo didn't have the energy to care about these things. While browsing various information, messages and recording them, he chatted with Lin Zhenping. He was obviously interested in finance, stock investment, and various options and futures contracts.
I was very interested in the content of financial derivatives trading, and I also learned a lot about it beforehand. Some of the theories were so complete that Lin Mo was stunned for a while.
After chatting for a while, Lin Mo asked: "Uncle Ping, can you tell me about the important nodes of the silver price trend. The nodes are the events that have a significant impact on the silver price and the integer prices."
"Just use these nodes to divide different periods and analyze them, as well as the events that have a greater impact on the price of silver at these nodes?"
Even though Lin Zhenping understood the meaning of the words, he still asked and started to formulate his words after seeing Lin Mo nodding.
"The two event nodes with greater impact are the passage of the bill and the start of silver purchases. A lot of things happened around these two points. I will focus on the events, interspersed with prices.
After we transferred the money and secured an investment account, we began to buy silver-related investment categories in small amounts and multiple times. For a short period of time, the price of silver generally rose slowly, with very small increases and decreases in the middle.
About a month before the silver bill was voted on, the price of silver began to increase. Market news at that time generally showed optimism about the passage of the bill. We estimate that some people may have roughly judged the final result, but they have not yet completely determined it.
But there must be some people who are optimistic and have invested a lot of money in it.
In the few trading days before the bill was voted on, the price of silver broke through 50 cents from time to time, but it has been hovering around 50 cents. Because the minimum purchase price of silver in the bill is just over 50 cents, there should be a lot of people who don't have much information, or who just give up when they get better.
Sell, causing the price to not go up.
After the bill was signed and passed, the price of silver soared, exceeding 60 cents in just a few trading days. However, the price then rose and fell sharply, once falling to 55 cents. Some people may be worried that the government will regret the agreement.
Not honoring the promise to buy silver, etc.
After hovering around 60 cents for about half a month, it began to rise rapidly again, breaking through 70 cents for about half a month, and then broke through 80 cents without stopping more than ten days later in early August, when the silver purchase deadline came
By now it had risen to about eighty-five cents.
On August 9, after the U.S. government officially complied with its commitment to compulsorily purchase its domestic silver at a price of just over 50 cents in the bill, the price of silver did not fall, but directly rose to over 90 cents the next day.
