Five hundred and thirtieth chapters the wind is rising five
Of the more than 20 million yuan in legal currency cash, 10 million yuan was the "custody" fee from the British and American businessmen in the public concession, and the other more than 10 million yuan was Chen Mingxiang's own dividends from the company.
Because the Japanese army implemented the southward advance plan and quickly occupied the Shanghai Public Settlement and the port city, the mountain city government's foreign exchange market disappeared in an instant, and he had not had time to exchange it into foreign currency.
In fact, most of Chen Mingxiang's assets are U.S. dollars and gold. He has no confidence in legal currency, and he is even more dismissive of China Reserve Bonds. Fortunately, he has a strong network of connections to achieve this level. The U.S. dollar is really
So rare.
In terms of material transactions with the Japanese Navy, Chen Mingxiang gave Kodama and Shifu private benefits. Kodama's agency paid him directly US dollars. The Japanese Navy was far more generous than the Army.
Transactions with American and British businessmen were naturally conducted in U.S. dollars, and even the dividends given by Wu Sibao and Pan Tao from the Huxi underground business were also in U.S. dollars.
"I run a bank and have the power to print money. Am I still worried that you will make too much money in exchange? With more than 20 million French currency, I am now rich. I am indeed a well-known smuggling leader in Shanghai."
"Let's do this. I will exchange all the 10 million French currency for you into US dollars. According to the previous ratio of 20 to 1, that is half a million US dollars. Without foreign exchange to press the bottom of the box, I will not feel at ease. Another one
Ten million French currency, I will allocate you thirty million China Reserve Certificates at the ratio of one to three."
"My friend, I won't hide some things from you. Maybe you know better than me. Due to Japan's reasons, China Reserve Bonds cannot be deposited. It is estimated that there will not be any big problems this year, but it will be difficult to tell next year.
Already." Zhou Fahai said.
Even the speed at which Wang Weizhengfu turns on the printing press to print money may not be able to withstand the speed at which the Japanese army spends money. On the one hand, there is uncontrolled printing, and on the other hand, there is uncontrolled spending. Even a fool knows what he will face next.
Question, money or money?
The price of the commodities available for trading on the market is equal to ten yuan, and the amount of currency issued is ten yuan. This supply and demand relationship is balanced. The currency that can be issued is one hundred yuan, which means that the price of the commodity has increased tenfold.
, because the quantity of goods has not increased.
The Japanese army frantically plundered China's wealth to supply the needs of the war. Not to mention the obvious robbery, in the past, they used so-called military coupons to buy people's properties at low prices, but now they have replaced them with China Reserve Bonds.
Wang Weizhengfu is also doing the same. The expenditures of the military and government agencies all need to be supported by China Reserve Bonds, otherwise they will not be able to operate at all.
The number of commodities available for trade is decreasing, and prices will rise, so more money will have to be spent to purchase them. What should we do? Print money!
"What Zhou Fahai said today was quite kind. At least he told me that China Reserve Bank bonds cannot be retained, the value of the currency will fall all the way, and the era of inflation is coming," Chen Mingxiang said.
"Li Qiao reported that Su Chengsheng, codenamed Magpie, has begun to implement the death plan. In order to prevent himself from appearing too sudden, he will use half a month to increase the frequency of tracking Nan Zao Yunzi and bring the two of them closer.
The distance between them can definitely be detected by the other party's vigilance and experience." Wang Zhen said.
This plan against Nan Zao Yunzi is the most important action of the year for Chen Mingxiang and his direct subordinate station. Killing this female agent has been Boss Dai's long-standing wish and is the only unfinished task of Chen Mingxiang.
On the surface, it seemed that only Li Qiao was responsible for training and connecting Su Chengsheng, but in fact, Chen Mingxiang used his greatest resources, and the entire operational staff of the direct station and Zhou Guojun's team were all serving this plan.
Where Nan Zao Yunzi often moves, all the direct stations have arranged monitoring points and contact points. He takes full advantage of his wealth. Each monitoring point has a telephone and a car on duty. Except for Hongkou District, it is impossible to arrange it.
The public concession was like a big net, locking up the whereabouts of this female spy.
"Let Magpie not be anxious yet and calm down. Nanzo Yunzi is not that easy to deceive. As long as he survives the first level, which is the torture of the special class, the rest is to wait for the opportunity."
"The key reason why Nanzo Yunzi has not been eradicated until now is that she is secretive and highly alert. She never stays in one place for more than two days, and she is always protected by a group of agents. The truth about the bait
The purpose is to fish her out of the turtle shell," Chen Mingxiang said.
The Spring Festival in the 31st year of the Republic of China was the least festive Spring Festival that Chen Mingxiang ever lived. Last year, the public concession and the French Concession were still very lively, with the sound of firecrackers everywhere, people playing and visiting everywhere, and the streets were open 24 hours a day.
There are people coming and going.
But this year, the concession area was deathly silent. It is said that in order to save electricity and avoid wasting it during the festival, the Japanese army actually ordered to limit the business hours of shops and entertainment venues.
"Bah bang bang!"
Residents of the Bank of China branch set off firecrackers for half an hour, making it very lively and atmospheric. This was specifically requested by Chen Mingxiang.
Other places can be lifeless, but Bank of China's other industries cannot be silent at all. This will make the Japanese unhappy.
Don't forget, there are Japanese military police on duty at the gate of Bank of China's branch, and they have not been removed yet. To a certain extent, they also have surveillance responsibilities.
Most of the people living in the Bank of China branch are employees of Huatong Trading Company and members of the inspection team. They all work within the jurisdiction of the Military Police Headquarters.
By not setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, is this dissatisfaction with the imperial army?
"Happy New Year, lazy fellow, come and have a meal. I've cooked your favorite dumplings. After you finish eating, hurry up and say New Year greetings. There are still many things to do today!" Wang Zhenda gave the gift before six o'clock in the morning.
Chen Mingxiang called.
She knew that Chen Mingxiang was from the north and was used to eating dumplings on New Year's Day, so she specially wrapped them for him last night and cooked them after getting up around five o'clock before calling him over to eat.
Chen Mingxiang lazily got up and first called Zhou Fahai, Ding Mocun, Li Shiqun and others to wish him a happy New Year. Although Wang Weizhengfu followed the previous practice of the mountain city government and did not advocate celebrating the Lunar New Year, this custom has a long history.
It can be changed at will.
"Have the Spring Festival greetings to Boss Dai and the bureau headquarters been sent out?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
This guy didn't even wash his face or brush his teeth in his own place, so he went to Wang Zhen's place. He really didn't treat himself as an outsider. However, Wang Zhen seemed to know that he was like this, and everything was prepared for him.
"There is news that I must tell you. Boss Dai has just informed us that the Shanghai Operation Corps of the Military Command Bureau will be established after the year, with Mao Sanmu as the colonel commander, to rectify the personnel of the Military Command Bureau in the former Shanghai District 1 of the Shanghai Suburban Guerrilla Zone, and continue
Fight against the Japanese and puppets."
"Still according to the previous rules, the directly affiliated station cannot have any contact with the action team, and all messages must be conveyed through the bureau headquarters." Wang Zhen said.
