Lin Mo decided to start from the root cause and investigate the Japanese people in Lanwei Ailu and who was behind the scenes. Otherwise, everything he saw would be superficial. No amount of guessing would be anything but rootless water.
.
Although he had checked before, they were mainly based on the rumors circulating in the market, but now Lin Mo felt that the matter was probably not that simple. These were mostly smoke bombs or illusions created by others.
As expected, soon after in-depth investigation, Lin Mo found a starting point. The Japanese-run mortgage loan bank on Lanweimai Road had introduced the currency of its colonies and occupied territories to others, which was the Bank of Korea.
Coupon and Manchukuo Yuan.
Korean Bank Notes, commonly known as Laotou Tickets, are banknotes that were circulated in the Korean Peninsula, Kanto Prefecture and the Manchuria Railway Affiliates of the three northeastern provinces during the Japanese rule. In fact, it is not limited to these areas. The Bank of Korea has established many branches in the country, and it was established earlier.
So there is also a small amount of circulation in these places.
The issuer is the Bank of Korea, and its head office is in Pyongyang. The Bank of Korea has essentially become the central bank of Japan's colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula, and it is also the official bank of Japan that borrowed the name of the colony.
Manchukuo Yuan was issued after the Japanese occupied the Northeast and supported the puppet Manchukuo in September 18th, and established the Manchuria Central Bank according to the operation of occupying North Korea to establish the Bank of Korea.
The current Manchukuo Yuan is based on the same silver standard as Chinese currency, so it is difficult to get this thing out. However, the Chinese people are very resistant to it, so no one has accepted it.
Moreover, someone later stabbed them, and the North Korean bank notes and Japanese yen were also affected. These people later also withdrew the North Korean bank notes, so they didn't cause too big a wave, but Lin Mo guessed that there must be no lack of public relations.
Even the things that the British and the French secretly did behind the scenes might have been inspired by this.
The fact that these two currencies have been promoted shows that this place must be closely related to North Korea and the Japanese forces in Northeast China. The main financial lifeline of these two places is the Bank of Korea, a colonial bank, so this matter must be related to the Bank of Korea.
However, none of the news widely circulated in the market involves the Bank of Korea. All they talk about is Yokohama Shokin Bank, which supports these stores and so on. Now it seems that it is really a smoke bomb and confusion thrown by people.
other people's illusions.
Yokohama Shokin Bank is a Japanese foreign exchange professional bank. Since it established a branch in Shanghai in May 1893, Yokohama Shokin Bank has consciously played the role of "vanguard" in the invasion of China. It is said that it is operating behind the scenes.
It's not unreasonable either.
However, after the Japanese occupied Northeast China on September 18, part of the business accumulated by Yokohama Shokin Bank after operating in Northeast China for many years was transferred to the Bank of Korea. Although the two sides may not be hostile, the things they had finally managed were transferred to the other party.
It's definitely not very consensual, at least the two parties are not very capable of peeing in a pot.
As for the forces behind colonial banks like the Bank of Korea, they must be the military militant faction that fanatically advocates foreign aggression, or to be more precise, the army militant faction. Now it can also be generally called the Kwantung Army faction.
Therefore, Yokohama Shokin Bank should be more biased towards the naval faction, at least less likely to compete with the army war faction, so they are unlikely to promote these currencies for the Japanese navy in the sphere of influence of the Japanese navy in Shanghai.
Therefore, it is ruled out that Yokohama Shokin Bank is the mastermind behind this incident. However, since it is a bank specializing in money exchange business in Japan, this incident cannot be completely unrelated to it. Otherwise, it should at least stand up to clarify the rumors. There is a high probability that there is someone behind it.
Any interests or concerns.
In addition, the possibility of the Japanese navy being involved can also be ruled out. In the Korea and Northeast China occupied by Japan, the Japanese navy may have some power and interests in it, but it is definitely not much, and it is far inferior to the Japanese army. Its colonies
The interests are mainly in Taiwan. If it is mixed, with the relationship between Japan's army and navy, it will definitely add Taiwan bank notes.
This raises a question, who hit a wall here on Lan Wei Ai Road before? It is unlikely that the Japanese navy is involved. The Japanese forces in Shanghai are dominated by the Japanese navy, and there must be someone behind Lan Wei Ai's Japanese people.
The forces of the Japanese army are mixed together. Due to the relationship between the two parties and Shanghai being considered as its sphere of influence, it is impossible to bow to it.
Excluding those from the Japanese Navy, there is a high probability that they are forces related to the Japanese Army, such as the group of special-grade Japanese spies they are facing now. But since they are all related to the Japanese Army, they are even related to the Kwantung Army in the north.
, why did conflicts break out and break up unhappily? Could it be caused by disagreements between the people behind the scenes?
It's unlikely. People who come later will bow their heads and give in. Even if they are in the same department, even if they don't agree with each other internally, you can make trouble, wear small shoes, put on eye drops, hold back, etc. It's okay if you do these dirty tricks in private, but they shouldn't be made public.
It's obvious that they broke up unhappy, isn't this a joke for outsiders to laugh at? This is very taboo.
After eliminating these possibilities, the only thing left is that there is a ghost here. They don't want others to know about it at all. Even people from the same department will still drive them away. This is because they have strengthened their investigation of the surrounding areas after this incident.
Support the previous one and two.
But Lin Mo didn't want to worry about whether it was a ghost or not. He just wanted to make sure that there was a high probability that there would be no problem with the platoon. There wouldn't be any nets waiting for them to drill inside, so he could go in and platoon with confidence.
But even if the chances of other situations were low, Lin Mo did not relax at all. He continued to test, observe, and be vigilant, and then slowly entered this section of Lanweimai Street where the Japanese owned a mortgage loan bank and bank.
The information provided by Uncle Ping is indeed correct. The other party has indeed purchased an entire lane. It is also a trading place at one end. It is similar to a teahouse and occupies many houses on both sides of the lane. There are also mortgage and loan banks on the other side.
, but they are not gathered in the alley, but on the street-facing shops on the Huajie side of Lanwei Ai Road, but they are distributed on both sides of the alley entrance.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The lanes under the plate are not only one lane, but three lanes in the shape of an "I" that are sideways relative to Lanwei Ai Road.
The two alleys on Lanweimai Road are where the exchange and the bank are located, and the one with the word "I" on its side is the alley where the bank is built on both sides.
At both ends of the exchange and the bank, from the entrance of the alley to the back of the alley where the bank is located, the buildings on both sides are also controlled by the intimidation and inducement for the staff, guards and daily necessities of the exchange, bank and bank.
Construction workers are allowed to live and rest, and no one except customers is allowed in, and customers are not allowed to move around as they please. They can only be taken to a designated place to carry out the silver deposit and withdrawal procedures.
Because of the emergence of this place, this section of the street is jammed with people and cars. There are many restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street, and there are so many people that it can’t be crowded. No matter how hot the weather is, the crowds can’t be extinguished.
The craze for profit! Weather is nothing in front of money!
Lin Mo did not do anything else first, but first bought a silver mortgage. The full name should be called a silver mortgage loan contract. It was not a piece of paper, but more than twenty pieces, slightly larger than A4 paper, specially cut and bound.
The completed contract was filled with various clauses densely written in small fonts.
With so many terms, there is nothing to be surprised about. Financial or financial derivatives such as stocks, bonds, futures, etc. are actually traded in a contract, but those formal financial products, corresponding rules, terms, etc. are all based on
The rules set by the law or the exchange are fixed, and all you are issued is a voucher.
But this is not a formal place. It is not subject to legal restrictions or protection. The rules formulated are not recognized by the law, so it is useless for you to just issue a voucher. You can only provide the corresponding information for each transaction in the form of contract terms.
rules to constrain.
This is a kind of taking advantage of a loophole! What I issued is just a mortgage loan contract. This is a normal and reasonable ordinary business behavior. There is nothing to catch. As for people using it for transactions, that is someone else’s business.
It has nothing to do with me, the exchange is just what others call it, and that is the place where people drink tea. What a skinny guy! These guys have obviously deliberately avoided all kinds of problems.
The currency used for purchase is naturally the Japanese yen. The two of them were looking for money dealers and foreign exchange merchants. They are definitely not in the mood to ask you about this and that just by opening their mouths. However, the exchange rate is very small every time.
A sum of money may include silver dollars, bank notes issued by some banks in Shanghai, or U.S. dollar bills. Each time, the amount and face value are not very noticeable.
What Lin Mo bought was also a small deposit, with a mortgage target of one thousand ounces. The transactions here are all measured in ounces. One is to benchmark foreign countries to facilitate the conversion of silver prices, and the other is to unify the measurement. Don’t look at it.
The quantity is large, but the price is very low. We will discuss the issue of order price later.
One thousand ounces is already the mainstream order amount in current transactions. There are still hundreds of orders, but the transaction volume is not large. When converted to one thousand ounces, it is about 760 taels or more than 900 taels.
two.
Why are there two? This is the difference between big and small. Qingliang is 600 grams. When converted to sixteen taels per catty, it is about one to two thirty-seven grams. One thousand ounces is more than 760 taels.
It is a large liang, but the Nanjing government sets a pound as 500 grams, a liang is 31.25 grams, and a thousand ounces is more than 900 liang, which is a small liang.
Don’t think that Nanjing’s benchmarking of domestic measurements with foreign standards is out of good intentions, at least I’ve never seen it before, but they have done a lot of tricks in gold and silver trading, tax collection, etc.
, making the domestic measurement messy.
Without further ado, when buying this, Lin Mo is naturally going to study the terms and rules to see what kind of traps and black pits the other party has laid. With these long and dense small prints, Lin Mo believes that there are not many speculators.
If you have the patience to read it carefully, and you don’t understand the other party’s purpose clearly, it will be difficult to find any problems.
However, the more the Japanese make these things more formal and serious, the more it shows that there is a pit in it. You don’t even have to think about this. With the Japanese ambitions towards China and their attitude towards the Chinese, this is almost
It is inevitable.
Lin Mo left this area first. There were too many people, and the sun was hanging in the sky like a fireball. Most speculators, and possibly various brokers, were about to crowd the various shops on both sides of the road.
, I really couldn’t find a suitable place for him to concentrate on reading.
After coming out, he walked into the alley on the Huajie side and crossed to another street. Lin Mo found a small restaurant and asked for a small single room with a window on the second floor facing the street. He ordered the dishes and asked them to prepare them together.
After closing the door to the single room, Lin Mo carefully checked every clause, while Wang Yousheng quietly looked into the distance behind the window.
As for what we are looking for, it is naturally the exchange and the alley at the entrance of the money shop. There is another alley on this road. The two alleys are not too narrow. In order not to affect Lan Wei Ai's business of transporting building materials,
Trucks carrying debris, etc. all enter and exit from this side.
