"Brother Mingxiang, I think you are the most aware of the counterfeit banknote incident. The Japanese are now asking the city government to put pressure on the Concession Industry Bureau and prohibit the concession newspapers from continuing to report on this matter. You will come forward on my behalf and take the official documents from the city government.
Come to the Ministry of Industry Bureau!" Chen Gongbo said helplessly.
As Wang's second-in-command, he is qualified to have access to core secrets. Therefore, he has long known that the Japanese army used counterfeit banknotes to carry out financial warfare against the mountain city government.
The Japanese responded very quickly. First, they ordered the city government to intervene and prohibited the news media in the concession from reporting on the incident.
In fact, this move was also expected by Chen Mingxiang. News control was what the Japanese army and Wang often did, but it only took one day to publish it in the newspaper, and the information would spread throughout the Shanghai stock market within a few days.
His purpose was not to alert the people in Shanghai, but to cause panic among the Japanese, investigate the incident, create trouble for Li Shiqun, and thereby cover up his traces.
"I think it is very unwise for the Japanese to handle it in this way, and it even confirms the authenticity of the news from the side."
"The reason is very good. It is forbidden to make false reports by the news media to avoid causing unnecessary panic among the public." Chen Mingxiang glanced at the official document and said with a smile.
"My brother is right. I am not very optimistic about the financial tactics adopted by the Japanese. They implemented an economic blockade to reduce the combat effectiveness of the Yamashiro government. This strategy is correct, but using counterfeit money to achieve the purpose of destroying the foundation of the war, I think it is a bit inappropriate.
Too realistic.”
"The purchase of strategic materials, gold and foreign exchange from Chiang Kai-shek's area with counterfeit banknotes can only bring temporary economic losses to the mountain city government, but it cannot shake the foundation of the rule."
"Who are the people who are trading with Japanese smuggling agencies? They are just a group of unscrupulous businessmen who are greedy for profit! This scope is very narrow, and their share in the entire industry chain is not large, so the impact is not that big.
"Chen Gongbo said.
Chen Mingxiang somewhat admired Wang's second-in-command. His thinking was very clear, his focus was strategic, and he could see through the essence and flaws of counterfeit banknotes at a glance.
"Actually, the most important thing is that legal currency is not a currency that maintains its value. Mr. Mayor, from the 24th year of the Republic of China to the 27th year of the Republic of China, the depreciation of legal currency has been very small. From the August 13th Anti-Japanese War to the present, the value of legal currency has been lower than before.
It has dropped by three times, and I estimate that by the second half of this year, it will drop by more than six times."
"Take the 100-yuan legal currency as an example. When it was first issued, you could buy two cows. The year before last, you could only buy one pig. Now, I guess you can barely buy a bag of flour. In the future, it is very likely that printing money will not depreciate faster than
Phenomenon." Chen Mingxiang said.
Not long after he started his mission, he used smuggling as a bargaining chip to stabilize and expand his network. He had a deep understanding of the changes in the value of legal currency. After joining the Shan Agency, he became even more sensitive to the value of legal currency. Saying this
Very confident.
"Commissioner Chen, since the legal currency continues to depreciate, what do you think will happen after the China Reserve Bonds are circulated?" Mo Guokang said with a smile next to him.
"Secretary Mo, although the China Reserve Bank is a currency issued by the Jinling Government's China Reserve Bank, the issuance rights are not in the hands of the China Reserve Bank, and it is also responsible for providing military expenditures for the Japanese army. This is a bottomless pit, and the Japanese army will not consider it.
Inflation will not be taken into account when it comes to currency value."
"I met Minister Zhou when I went to Jinling a few days ago and had a meal. Although he desperately used gold dollars as reserves, he still could not avoid the outcome of devaluation. With the military supplies of more than one million Japanese troops, the China Reserve Bank could
Can you hold it?"
"I dare to assert that China Reserve Bonds are depreciating even faster than legal currency, but it has not yet achieved mainstream currency status, and everyone can't tell it yet," Chen Mingxiang said.
To be honest, although Zhou Fahai, a big traitor, is obsessed with seeking glory and profit, he is not completely empty-handed when it comes to China Reserve Bonds.
While having dinner at his home, Chen Mingxiang heard him say that the interests of the people must be taken into consideration when issuing currency, and China Reserve Bank bonds cannot become water without a source. Therefore, China Reserve Bank is currently actively purchasing gold foreign exchange.
But the problem is that even if Zhou Fahai's conscience found that he had done a good thing, he still could not get good results because of his own shortcomings.
Wang's foundation is the support of the Japanese. The reason why the Japanese government agreed to Wang's establishment of the China Reserve Bank to issue China Reserve Bank bonds was to use this currency to plunder the wealth of the Chinese people.
The currency used by the Japanese army in the occupied territories is called military notes, also called tickets. It is an extremely bad piece of waste paper with no basis for issuance. It is a fake banknote that relies entirely on force and cannot be exchanged with the Japanese yen. It is a pure tool of plunder.
.
Notes were issued before the 28th year of the Republic of China. Later, these four characters were removed from the banknotes, leaving only the words "Government of the Empire of Japan", which were called E-notes. Naturally, there were A, B, and C in front of them.
, the four kinds of military tickets, D, have red words on them.
The Japanese army exchanged military coupons for China Reserve Bonds, but in fact, Japan's Zhengjin Bank only issued a false military coupon and did not actually transfer it to China Reserve Bank. However, China Reserve Bank had to exchange the China Reserve Bonds according to the exchange amount.
The Japanese army can give it to Zhengjin Bank as much as they want. Under such circumstances, will China Reserve Bonds have a good ending?
"I'm very happy to meet the famous Commissioner Chen. I already know the purpose of your visit. Please sit down and let's have a cup of coffee and chat slowly." General Director Riddle said with a smile.
From the election of William Kai, the first general director of the Concession Board of Directors in July 1854, to the present 30 years of the Republic of China, there have been many general directors. Riddell officially took office on May 1 this year.
Little did he know that he was the last general director.
Regarding Chen Mingxiang's cooperation with the British business group and secretly providing strategic military supplies, Riddle was an insider, and he also understood that he was not a die-hard supporter of the Japanese. He was just a means of making a living during the war. Therefore, Riddle
The attitude is very enthusiastic.
"I don't dare to praise you like this as a general director. I am purely trying to earn a living. This is an official document from the city government to the board of directors. It is also my first foreign-related job as a foreign affairs commissioner. I also ask for your support, Mr. Riddell." Chen Mingxiang said.
"There is no problem. I asked the secretary to immediately notify the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to issue a stern warning to all news media in the concession and not to allow any more news related to counterfeit banknotes to be reported."
"Actually, you must also know very well that the city government is just fulfilling a formality. Even if I didn't issue this order, the police department would have already started taking action."
"Nowadays, the deputy general director of the concession board and the special deputy director of the police department are all Japanese. I may be the one with the least power among the previous general directors." Riddell said with a wry smile. Baidu "Spy"
