Chapter 363: Dirty Project

Meng Shaoyuan, who was at gunpoint, was not afraid at all, not even the slightest panic:

"Mr. Beckett, in Shanghai, there are only two kinds of people who dare to point a gun at me, one is my boss, and the other is Japanese. You? Not worthy yet! ”

You, don't deserve it!

Hawes was enraged: "I'm here to kill you, no one knows, no one!" ”

"You're also from the Knights Hospitaller, why don't you use your brain?" Meng Shaoyuan pointed to his head: "I dare to come here alone, do you think I have a bad brain like you?" ”

Hoyston hesitated.

Yes, why did Meng Shaoyuan dare to come here alone?

"As long as you dare to shoot, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Sinclair Joe Soltras, will arrest you with his own hands, and I can design the follow-up plot for you."

Meng Shaoyuan actually took another sip of wine: "You are a foreigner, Mr. Soltras will not do anything to you, he will receive a large sum of money, and then temporarily detain you, please assist in the investigation." Where you are detained, there will be two or three Chinese coming in, ah, don't worry, it's just that the detention room is full, and it's temporarily locked up with you.

At night, those Chinese will suddenly get up and break your knees and hands first, so that you can't resist, you will ask, what about the guards? Can't the guards hear the movement? Of course they couldn't hear it, because they were counting lots and lots of money that had just arrived, and of course you know, that money was given to them by my people, right?

You will be tortured all night, and the next day, the guards will only find your body, you are suicidal, believe me, the prisoners you are locked up with, will prove that you are suicidal. The guards will prove that you committed suicide, and Mr. Soltras will also believe that you committed suicide, and your body will be cremated quickly. ”

When Meng Shaoyuan said this, he didn't forget to add: "I remember, among those Chinese suspects, there is one person who doesn't like women, only men, although you are a little older, but your figure is still well maintained." ”

Hoyce wanted to throw up, really wanted to throw up. His hand holding the gun began to tremble.

"You're not a man to play with guns, Mr. Beckett." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I don't know if your bullet will hit me, but I can be sure that as long as the gunshots go off, you, and anyone in this factory, don't think about leaving safely." Put down your guns, Mr. Beckett. ”

Hawes hesitated, hesitated, and finally put the gun away.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled, people like Hoyce will kill people with the help of other people's hands, but few have the courage to kill with their own hands.

He was reluctant to even take the box himself, preferring to delegate it to a Chinese because he feared any damage to his reputation.

After all, he was going to run for the "Honorary Knight".

The Knights Hospitaller would not allow a scandalous person to stay in their sacred organization.

"You're the scum of the Knights Hospitaller." After Meng Shaoyuan finished saying this, he continued: "However, I like to cooperate with scum like you." ”

What do you mean? Cooperate?

"As I said, we are from the Shanghai Public Mutual Aid Association, we are allies, and allies should help each other, not hurt each other, although what you did just now made me very sad."

On Meng Shaoyuan's face, there was not the slightest sadness, but only a treacherous and insidious: "In Shanghai, if you want to commit a crime, and you do it seamlessly, you can't do without my help." Are you making counterfeit banknotes, Mr. Beckett? ”

Hawes didn't answer right away.

Meng Shaoyuan decided to add to the fire: "I'm an agent, not a policeman, not a patrol in the public concession, are you worried that I will arrest you or report you?" No, I'm here to work with you. ”

"Yes, I'm making counterfeit money." Hawes finally admitted.

"Yen? Legal tender? ”

"Yen! Fiat currency I'm not going to do it, because I foresaw its depreciation! ”

"Clever!" Meng Shaoyuan gave a thumbs up.

Counterfeit yen, this is really a particularly clever idea.

The Japanese also counterfeited a large number of fiat currencies in an attempt to attack the economy of the Nationalist Government in this way. But at first, the counterfeit banknotes they created were not up to standard, and even ordinary merchants refused to accept them.

Later, after continuous improvements, especially after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army seized a batch of semi-finished fiat currency in Hong Kong, and also seized the central bank's money printing machine.

At this point, Japan has acquired all the core technology for printing fiat currency.

The problem is that the Japanese simply did not think of another question:

Inflation!

Money is worthless.

You are printing counterfeit banknotes, the money printing machine of the national government, but you are running at full power, printing real money like crazy!

On the eve of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, the total amount of fiat currency issued was only more than 1.4 billion yuan, and in the following years, the total amount of fiat currency issued reached 500 billion yuan.

As a result of the indiscriminate printing of money, prices in the KMT have risen more than 100 times in eight years. In 1937, 100 fiat dollars could buy a cow, but a few years later, 100 fiat could not even buy a box of matches.

The Japanese printed a total of 4 billion counterfeit fiat money, but these money were thrown into the sea like a small stone, and there was no splash at all.

Kenzo Yamamoto, the person in charge of Japan's counterfeit banknote war, can't believe this fact at all, Japan has lost even pants for the 4 billion fake fiat currency, and wants to recover the printing cost? It will appear in the dream.

Reputedly...... It is said that Yamamoto Kenzogen once said this sentence for the fiasco of fake fiat currency:

"China is such a formidable country!"

This is not the most terrible thing, the most terrible thing is that when Japan was printing fake legal tender currency, the Chinese Nationalist Government was also printing fake military bills and yen banknotes with all its might, and successfully purchased a large amount of gold, cotton yarn, cloth, and other scarce materials from the Japanese puppet ruled areas, which further aggravated inflation in the Japanese puppet ruled areas.

Meng Shaoyuan knew the course of history, who printed fake fiat currency and who was sick. But Hoyce predicted the sharp depreciation of the fiat currency.

So in this sense, this guy is still very capable.

"This is our new version of the yen." This time, instead of weapons, Hoyce took out of the drawer, but a few counterfeit yen bills.

Meng Shaoyuan got up and took it, only glanced at it a few times, then shook his head and said, "It's too fake, I can't be fooled at all." ”

"That's right." Hoy admits this: "Especially when it comes to paper and ink technology, there are big problems. That's why I shipped a batch of supplies from the United States this time......"

"Paper and ink dyes?"

"That's right, the box is in your hand?"

"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "At first, I didn't understand what these things were for, when I thought that you had bought a bankrupt gauze factory, it suddenly dawned on me." The machine in the gauze factory is your best disguise, and the money printing machine you transport in can find an excuse, it is a new gauze machine. ”

Meng Shaoyuan didn't tell the truth completely.

Why Hawes inexplicably went to buy a bankrupt gauze factory is indeed a flaw, but more importantly, it is the batch of paper.

Who would have nothing to do and travel thousands of miles from the United States to China?

When he saw this batch of papers, his mind popped up with the movies and television he had watched.

What can paper be used for?

Books, newspapers.

However, the texture of this batch of paper is too wasteful to print newspapers.

Unless it's ...... Banknotes that require special paper materials!

Making counterfeit banknotes is hugely profitable, and for hundreds of years, countless people have taken risks for it.

In World War II, the Japanese made fake fiat currency, the Chinese made holiday dollars, the Germans made fake pounds, and the British made fake marks.

Everyone has become counterfeiters!

As long as it is not produced in large quantities, one or two people can make a batch of counterfeit banknotes.

What's more, didn't Qin Fuyu say that Hoyce specially found a few "professional technicians".

These technicians are not here to produce gauze.

They're here to make counterfeit money.

"I can give you back the box." After Meng Shaoyuan confirmed this, he said: "I can find any special materials you need, but the premise is that I want to be your partner!" ”

"Partner?" Hawes hesitated.

"Mr. Beckett, don't forget who you are, this kind of dirty thing will be a great blow to your reputation if it is leaked." Meng Shaoyuan didn't mean to be sarcastic at all: "I can provide you with protection and ensure that no one can disturb you anymore." You're only in charge of the technology, and you're in charge of making the perfect counterfeit money possible.

I can help you find the materials you need. I'm an agent, and I have special access to this. If someone needs to spend your counterfeit money, I can help too. Also, you definitely need to digest the large amount of supplies bought back with counterfeit money, just rely on Angus? No, I am a shareholder of Angus, and moreover, I have my own smuggling channels.

Think about it, you can get several times more profits by buying scarce materials with counterfeit money, and then getting rid of these materials through smuggling. You've thought of that, so you're ready to work with Angus and Joey. Now with me, I can double insure you, dear Mr. Beckett. ”

Hoyce didn't hesitate any longer, he stood up, walked in front of Meng Shaoyuan, and stretched out his hand: "Welcome to join this project." ”

"A dirty project, but it's also a money-making project." Meng Shaoyuan also stood up and shook hands with him: "I believe that in the United States, you also have such a counterfeit banknote production line, but the risk is too great in the United States, so you have taken a fancy to China in the war." It's a lot safer here. Mr. Beckett, in addition to holiday dollars, we can also focus on fake military tickets, in the Tohoku, where the Japanese have been in circulation for many years, and this kind of thing is much easier to forge. ”

"Of course, my dear partner, our cooperation will be very pleasant."

The premise is that it must be as perfect as possible to make a counterfeit yen banknote that can fool most people!
