Chapter 544: Counterfeiting and Looting
HiSilicon Chess Club.
According to the agreed time, Chen Miao rushed to the chess club, went upstairs, came to the door of the room, took off his gloves, and reached out and knocked on the door frame.
"Please come in."
It was the voice of Xili Longfu, Chen Miao opened the door, walked in, and saw Xili Longfu wearing a suit and tie, sitting on the couch.
"Mr. Fang is very punctual, please take a seat." Siri Ryufu was making tea and made a "please" gesture.
Chen Miao walked over, took off her leather shoes, got on the couch, sat down, took off her hat and sunglasses, and put them on the coffee table.
He didn't like the Japanese way of sitting, and he couldn't learn it.
"Mr. Siri, don't call me Mr. Fang in the future, I'm afraid it won't sound good to some people's ears." Chen Miao said solemnly.
"And what shall I call it, Comrade 033?"
"This is even worse, you can call Mr. Three." Chen Miao said with an idea.
"Mr. Three, this is quite interesting." Siri Ryufu smiled, reached out and picked up a cup of tea and handed it over, "Please drink tea." ”
"Thank you." Chen Miao politely stretched out her hand and took it, not drinking it immediately, but putting it on the coffee table, "Mr. Xili, ask me out today, what's the important thing?" ”
"In the near future, Tokyo will send a congratulatory delegation to China, including former Prime Minister Nobuyuki Abe, Speaker of the House of Nobles Matsudaira Yoritoshi, Speaker of the House of Representatives Matsutoshi Koyama and others.
"Will the Japanese government recognize Wang's new government?"
"As far as I know, not for the time being." Xilin Longfu Road.
"Hehe......" Chen Miao smiled, this is very interesting, Japan set up a new government with Wang, but it itself does not recognize the legitimacy of this regime.
It's duplicitous.
It's clear that it's fooling Wang, but it's a pity that Wang is blinded by power, which is really embarrassing.
"They haven't given up on the temptation of Chongqing yet?"
"Well, to be exact, they want the Wang and Chiang clans to merge once again to form a puppet government under the control of the Japanese government." Siri Longfu said.
"I'm afraid that those war maniacs in the Japanese Army won't agree, right?" Chen Miao sneered.
"Yes, there are indeed many generals in the army who oppose negotiations with Chongqing, and they want to completely eliminate this regime and achieve the goal of completely occupying and controlling China."
"So who's having the upper hand at the moment?"
"Half a catty and eight taels, no one can convince anyone." Siri Longfu said.
"The situation is not the worst for us." Chen Miao nodded.
"But Japan's domestic economy is on the verge of collapse, and all its resources are being used to expand its armaments and warfare, and this year they are going to expand 20 divisions on the basis of what they already have, which is simply insane." Ryuo Cisato's eyes were red, Japan was his homeland after all.
"Maybe they're not crazy?"
"......," Siri Ryufu was silent.
"The Jiaozi plan has begun, the first batch of fake fiat currency has been put in North China, after the trial, the effect is not bad, this time they are ready to put it in Shanghai."
The harm of counterfeit money, which normal people understand, but for the current era of currency chaos, there are too many popular banknotes on the market, it is difficult to standardize the trial, the exchange rate of various currencies is exchanged every day, one price a day, very chaotic, and there are many counterfeit currencies that are popular in the market.
Once the counterfeit money in the market increases and circulates it, the currency will inevitably depreciate, which will trigger a series of chain reactions.
When something goes wrong in the economy, the consequences are terrible.
"What will they do?"
"This kind of thing, the Japanese official will definitely not be able to come forward, basically handed over to the Black Dragon Society to be responsible, and in Shanghai it is mainly the Xuanyang Society." Siri Longfu said.
"A small amount of fake fiat currency enters the market, and there is no wave, and only a huge amount will have an effect, they will not take a large amount of fiat currency to the bank to deposit, right, can't the bank recognize it?" Chen Miao asked.
Siri Ryuo nodded.
"They tried, but most banks couldn't identify it, but when someone found out, there was no way to pursue it, because these people had already withdrawn the real money by means of withdrawing money from other places." Siri Longfu said.
"Once this kind of thing spreads in the banking system, everyone will be wary."
"No, because the amount is not large, the bank itself looks away, and this is a scandal that will affect the credibility of the bank, so the banks that have suffered losses are basically publicized to the outside world and quietly admit it, but they are more careful when collecting and saving large deposits." Siri Ryufu.
"How much money did they get in North China?" Chen Miao asked with great interest, this is a bloodless way of plundering.
"I don't know the exact number, it should be tens of millions."
Chen Miao took a breath.
Although the fiat currency has depreciated sharply now, it can be regarded as a relatively stable currency, tens of millions of fiat currency, what a lot of wealth.
It was swept away by the Japanese with a bunch of paper and ink?
"They shouldn't put this money in their own hands, right?"
"Of course, this money was quickly exchanged for various resources and materials by them, and some even went to the places controlled by the Chongqing government to buy grain, cotton and other materials on a large scale, which is part of the war they proposed." Ryuo Siri explained.
Chen Miao took a breath of cool air.
"Mr. Three, do you understand the horror of this Jiaozi plan now?" Siri Longfu said.
Chen Miao nodded, if this plan is really implemented and succeeded, it will not only have a huge impact on the domestic economy and financial order, but also indirectly affect the direction of the war.
Isn't modern warfare all about resources and industrial power?
"In addition, there is opium, the biggest income of the Black Dragon Society is opium, do you know how much opium can be smuggled into China, how much money they can make a month?"
"I don't know, but it's an astronomical amount."
"A conservative estimate is an average of 100 million yen per month!"
Chen Miao was stunned, how much is 100 million yen, you must know how much the national government paid a year before the Anti-Japanese War? Opium and the resulting scourge of drugs are so profitable, not counting the opium tax levied.
This money was converted into resources for Japan's military expansion and war, and finally used to invade China and enslave the Chinese, which is really a great irony.
The bloody money earned from the Chinese is finally used to invade China and kill the Chinese, and there is no more cruel thing in the world than this.
"Mr. Siri, what shall we do?" Chen Miao frowned, this is not his task, but as a Chinese, he has the responsibility and obligation to prevent this terrible thing from happening.
"I don't know, I can only tell you about these situations, and as for how you do it, I don't know." Siri Ryuo shook his head.
"I wonder when they're going to implement a plan like this in Shanghai?" Chen Miao asked.
"I don't know, but you can pay attention to the situation of some banks, and if it is a relatively large amount of fiat currency, then you should be wary." Siri Longfu said.
"I'll keep an eye on it, thank you for the reminder." Chen Miao said.
"Also, Itomori was killed by you, right?" Siri Ryufu asked with a smile.
"He didn't clean himself and died of a dirty disease, and he had nothing to do with me." Chen Miao flatly denied it, although it didn't matter if he admitted it, but why should he admit this kind of thing?
"Whether you admit it or not, you've done a really beautiful job." Nishiri Ryuo said, "Itomori is a monetary expert at the Central Bank of Japan, and he came to Shanghai to make more counterfeit money directly in Shanghai, but he didn't expect that he didn't wait for him to start making counterfeit money, and he took his life first." ”
"Oh, what about Professor Lanyu Hailan?"
"I don't know the specifics, it should be that Lan Yuhai has participated in the production of the master of the fiat currency, and even now there is a version of the fiat currency printed by the national government of the Denaro company, and the fiat currency of your country is limited to the printing technology of the country, and can only print corner tickets, and the yuan bills are handed over to foreign companies to print on their behalf, but the master production is not completely completed by foreign companies, because this is your core secret, and the fiat currency also needs to be printed with a special code and the president's seal to officially take effect. Professor Lan has the nickname 'Ghost Hand' in the carving world, and I guess in addition to engraving the master, he was also involved in the production of the governor's seal. Siri Longfu said.
"You mean, Professor Lan can not only make fiat currency masters, but also copy the governor's seal?"
"Yes, even if the banknote is not made by him, but with his ability, it is not difficult to imitate one, and it is difficult for people to see it." Siri Longfu said.
"So, as long as you control Professor Lan, you can destroy most of their plans?"
"On the one hand, they felt that they could not go too far at once and attract the attention of all parties, and on the other hand, it should be that their counterfeit money was not perfect enough, otherwise, it would not have been discovered and had to be stopped soon afterwards." Ryūo Ciri analyzed.
"Are you going to let me kill Professor Lan?"
"No, we can't go after an innocent person who is not at fault, Mr. Three, this is not in line with our purpose." Siri Ryufu immediately vetoed.
"Then you let me guard myself and rescue Professor Lan and send him out of Shanghai?"
"Can you do it?"
"No, why should Professor Lan listen to me, besides, he is different from us, once the news leaks, not only will he be in danger, but even I may be exposed, which will outweigh the losses." Chen Miao said, "It's better to find a way from the Black Dragon Society." ”
"You mean to sabotage their plans?"
"When they feel that everything is ready and they are about to succeed, wouldn't it be better to have a complete battle?" Chen Miao said, "Since they want to build a fake fiat currency manufacturing factory in Shanghai, then wait for them to get it out, if we kill the source now, then they will choose another place, then we will be out of reach." ”
"Makes sense, but are you sure?"
"I can't say for sure, but at least I have a lot more resources at my disposal now than I used to." Chen Miao smiled.
