Chen Miao thought about it, dried the accidentally discovered dossier thoroughly, and then put it away.

As for that "number".

Let's think about it when I have time, now he doesn't have the slightest heart on this, and he doesn't have any eyebrows about the tasks assigned by his hometown.

The steel plates of this engraved currency printing master are all imported, because they are for special purposes, the output is very small, and the price is naturally very high.

Therefore, the engraver has to proofing in advance, and the graphics to be done are designed first, and then the knife will be used on the steel plate, and the carved master is unique and cannot be copied, which is also the first anti-counterfeiting measure for coin printing.

Since its birth, paper money has been accompanied by counterfeit money.

As long as some people want to get something for nothing, opportunistic, this is inevitable, even gold and silver can be faked, and there are fake and real people.

There are a lot of currencies circulating in the concession, and the most of them are gold and silver, of which the ocean is the mainstay, and the ocean is also divided into many kinds, and the value is also different.

Banknotes are mainly in fiat currency, customs gold coupons, Japanese military stamps, customs gold coupons, etc., and there are some other valuable currencies, which are only circulated in a small area.

Large transactions, if foreign-related, are mainly settled in US dollars and pounds, and the yen is mainly aimed at Japanese imports and exports.

Shanghai's currency market is very chaotic, but although it is chaotic, it still maintains this kind of relative stability, but the domestic currency depreciates rapidly, while the general metals and the US dollar are relatively stable.

Chen Miao thought of someone, Harry.

……

"Harry, long time no see." Asked Harry to meet at the Queen's Cafe on Jing'an Temple Road.

"Oh, Sanshui, I heard that you got married, and you didn't send me an invitation?" When Harry saw Chen Miao, he also showed a smile, and enthusiastically came up and gave Chen Miao a hug, "Are you afraid that my charm is too great and I will kidnap your bride?" ”

"She doesn't like foreigners." Chen Miao smiled, if you don't know Harry, I'm afraid that it will be uncomfortable to listen to this.

"Oh, that's a shame." Harry shrugged his shoulders, "Sit down, are you still drinking latte?" ”

“Sure！”

“Waiter？” Harry stretched out his hand and beckoned, "Give this gentleman a latte, unsweetened." ”

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, we're old friends." Harry smiled, squeezed his eyebrows, and said, "You please take this cup, can it be regarded as compensation for me?" ”

"No problem." Chen Miao responded with a smile.

"I heard that you have been promoted and become the director of the Inspectorate, I am really happy for you." Harry was the first to say hello, "Old friend, what is the matter with you asking me out?" ”

"I have a batch of tungsten ore in my hands, I don't know if you are interested?" Chen Miao smiled, leaned back on the back of the chair, and said very easily.

"Oh, really?" Harry's eyes lit up, tungsten ore, that is what Germany is lacking now, only tungsten is added to the steel of guns, in order to improve its life and performance, this thing is now a strategic material, and Germany originally had a good relationship with the national government, and can import a large amount of tungsten ore from China every year, and now Germany and Japan are allies, China and Germany basically have no trade.

The tungsten producing province is the area where the Chinese and Japanese armies are fighting, and the destructive power of the war is extremely great, and many mines and mining equipment have been destroyed and suspended.

Germany is also blocked by the economy and military of Europe and the United States, and it is very difficult to obtain tungsten ore resources.

"Brother Sanshui, what conditions do you have, just ask." As an intelligence officer, Harry naturally understands the importance of tungsten as a strategic resource.

"I want to get a batch of special billets, but this is import control, so I have to ask you for help."

"It's not a big problem, as long as we have it in Germany, I can get it for you, but I have to ask, how much do you need?"

"I don't need much, two or three hundred kilograms at most."

"That's a lot easier." Harry breathed a sigh of relief, if it was too much, he couldn't agree to it, if it was involving Min. The export of the material is very troublesome, and if the amount is small, you can go through special channels, or entrain, and the problem is not very big.

As long as the relationship between the customs is opened, special steel can come in as ordinary steel, and if you are not a professional person, you can't see it.

"This is the technical parameters of the billet I need, and it is best to help me process it and make it into a semi-finished product." Chen Miao handed over a note that had been written a long time ago.

Harry doesn't know much either, but when he sends things back to China, someone will know what these billets are for.

Chen Miao was not afraid that Harry would know that unless Harry betrayed his motherland, he would not take the initiative to tell the Japanese about his deal.

Besides, his dealings with Harry were also reported by Lin Shiqun, so there was no need to worry about Sakurako Ikeuchi finding out about their relationship.

Even Sakurako Ikeuchi probably knows.

Because next, he has to go to see Sakurako Ikeuchi.

He doesn't have any tungsten ore in his hands at all, but the Japanese have it in their hands, and Japan is not monolithic, and various interest groups are also intertwined.

He cooperated with Ikeuchi Sakurako in smuggling, and part of the money earned from smuggling was transferred to the funds of the special high school, and part of it was divided between Ikeuchi Sakurako and the people behind him.

In fact, corruption within the Japanese army is also quite serious, especially the contradictions between the Japanese navy and the army, which are really quite acute.

Kurihara Kozaburo didn't also open the door for Lin Shiqun, the two secretly partnered to do business, which was also a lot of money, otherwise how could Lin Shiqun firmly control the power of No. 76 in his hands, or interests.

With Lin Shiqun having meat to eat and money to spend, what about Ding Mohan, what can he give them?

That's the reality.

Chen Miao is planning to empty the gloves of the white wolf.

……

"Sanshui-kun?" On the third floor of the Broadway Building, Sakurako Ikeuchi's office, when Sakai told her and Chen Miao asked to see her, she was extremely surprised.

"Hay, someone else is right outside the door, Sakurako-sama, are you free now?" Sakai asked.

"Wait a minute." Sakurako Ikeuchi walked over and straightened her clothes and hair a little in front of the mirror, before turning around, "Sakai-kun, please ask Sanshui-kun to come in." ”

"Hay!"

"Sanshui-kun, please!" Led by Sakai, Chen Miao slowly walked into Ikeuchi Sakurako's office, it was the first time he came to Ikeuchi Sakurako's office, and he didn't expect it to be for such a purpose.

"Sakurako-san." Chen Miao took off her top hat, put it on her chest, and bowed slightly.

"Sanshui-kun, it's the first time you've come to me, please take a seat." Sakurako Ikeuchi greeted with a smile on her face, "Sakai, make a cup of tea for Sansui-kun." ”

"Thank you." Chen Miao hurriedly turned sideways and bowed slightly to Sakai.

Sakai bowed his head slightly, turned around and went out.

"Sanshui-kun, please be seated." Sakurako Ikeuchi wears a black navy uniform, and the Japanese navy uniform is indeed much better than the army, which may have something to do with the aesthetics of the Japanese army.

It is not for nothing that the Japanese Navy always looks down on the Army, and this aesthetic difference is very large.

"Miss Sakurako, it's a bit presumptuous to come here suddenly." Chen Miao sat down, put the top hat casually on his side, and said naturally.

"No, I'm always here to welcome Sanshui-kun." Sakurako Ikeuchi smiled and said very enthusiastically.

Adjutant Sakai came in with two cups of hot tea, one was given to Chen Miao, and one was placed in front of Ikeuchi Sakurako, who beckoned: "Sanshui-kun, please use tea." ”

"Thank you." Chen Miao thanked him, but instead of touching the teacup, he said, "I've always wanted to visit Miss Sakurako, but I was too busy a while ago and didn't have time, I'm really sorry." ”

"Sanshui-kun is too polite." Sakurako Ikeuchi said.

"Last time Miss Sakurako went to my place and gave me a precious pair of jade, I, today, also prepared a small gift, and asked Miss Sakurako not to dislike it." Chen Miao took out a slender wooden box from the leather bag he was carrying.

"What is this?" Sakurako Ikeuchi asked in surprise.

"Miss Sakurako will know when you open it." Chen Miao smiled slightly.

Sakurako Ikeuchi reached out and took it, and was about to open it, when Sakai saw it on the side and was about to reach out, obviously afraid of what was in the box, but was stopped by Sakurako Ikeuchi.

Ikechi Sakurako opened the box in front of Chen Miao, a "folding fan", and when it was opened, it was a picture of a lady, a cold gold fan, and a tortoiseshell fan bone.

"This is the famous Tang Dynasty Zhou Fang's "Hairpin Lady"?" Sakurako Ikeuchi was pleasantly surprised, she liked "folding fans", and she had collected a lot of famous fans, and when she saw this fan, she liked it.

"Imitation, however, this fan is from the hand of the famous artist Zeng Whale in the late Ming Dynasty (fake)......" Chen Miao explained with a smile.

"Yes, it's really good, this method, this rendering, is indeed Zeng Whale's technique, this fan is worth a lot of money, Sanshui Jun is actually willing to give it to me?"

"The sword is given to the martyrs, the pink is given to the beauty, Miss Sakurako is a person who understands the 'fan', so it is very suitable to give this fan to Miss Sakurako."

"Okay, then I'll be disrespectful." Sakurako Ikeuchi really liked it, and she didn't refuse, so she accepted it.

This is a gift to a person, and he will ask for something.

Japan has been learning from China for thousands of years, and Sakurako Ikeuchi has been in China for many years, so of course she understands this truth, puts away the folding fan, and hands it to Sakai to put away.

"Sanshuijun, it's better to meet by chance, how about I stay for a light meal tonight?"

"Okay, I'm going to have something to discuss with Miss Sakurako." Chen Miao nodded and agreed.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"I have a friend, his name is Harry, he used to work for Krupp in Germany, and now he works for the German consulate in Shanghai......"

"Tungsten ore, this is a strategic material, we also need it very much in the Japanese Empire, if we sell it to him, it will be very troublesome if it is discovered." Sakurako Ikeuchi said.

"Miss Sakurako, let's be honest, this Harry's work is somewhat related to intelligence, if we can maintain a good relationship, we will have one more source on the German side, especially from within Germany, if we can know it earlier, it will be very beneficial to us."

"Well, you're right, but I need to think about it, even if I agree to do this business, if I want to ship tungsten ore to Shanghai, it can't be done in a day or two."

"I know that he also needs to make some relevant preparations, and I told him that if the business is done, it will be settled directly in gold." Chen Miao said.

"Gold?" Sakurako Ikeuchi's eyes lit up.

"Yes."

"I'll arrange this, but it's hard to say how much I can get for him, but if I can catch this line, it's worth it." Sakurako Ikeuchi said solemnly.
