Chapter Ninety-Four: Here It Is
"Big brother, it's in exchange!" Zhang Tingshu smiled and waved a few brand-new yen tickets and sent them to Zhang Tinglan.
Zhang Tinglan didn't have any expression on his face, things were much worse than he imagined, the Fengtian government was like a big sieve, and no news could be hidden, and the change of the official silver number was quickly spread.
Wang Shuhan was arrested, and the official silver account had a huge deficit, which seriously dampened the confidence of the people of Fengtian.
As a result of the shaking of confidence, the black market prevailed, and the number of tickets in the hands of ordinary people quickly decreased, and they were all exchanged. Zhang Tinglan also knows that the biggest mastermind behind the scenes is Zhengjin Bank, and only Zhengjin Bank has this motive and sufficient ability.
Compared with the powerful Zhengjin Bank, Zhang Tinglan is undoubtedly in a weak position in all aspects. In the face of a strong enemy, confronting head-on, the chance of winning is almost none, even if you are lucky enough to stabilize the ticket, you will lose a lot of gold and silver, and the gains outweigh the losses, so you have to take some covert actions.
Printing fake tickets is a bad idea that Wang Yongjiang came up with, and Zhengjin Bank sent a large number of ronins to buy tickets everywhere, and these people may not be able to distinguish the authenticity, so Zhang Tinglan secretly distributed the fake tickets in exchange for real yen.
Zhang Tingshu just exchanged ten yuan for a ticket from a ronin for some yen.
"Big brother, what are they going to do in exchange for tickets according to seventy percent of the face value?"
"What else can I do, of course, I want to have a little more tickets in my hand, and then give me a forced palace. Second, you go and take these few yen again, go out and find a way to exchange tickets from the people, this time you exchange them according to seven out of five! ”
Zhang Tingshu didn't understand the intention of the eldest brother, but he still ran out obediently, and after a while, he ran back panting, holding more than nine yuan of tickets in his hand.
Zhang Tinglan took the money in his hand and looked at it carefully, don't get back the fake money you put out, so that the fun will be great, but it turns out that these coins are relatively old, they are all real, Zhang Tinglan showed a smile on her face.
"Big brother, you're too insidious!" Zhang Tingshu has been wondering what kind of tricks his eldest brother is playing, and now he finally understands.
"First exchange the fake ticket for yen, and then exchange the yen for the real ticket, it is equivalent to exchanging the fake ticket for the real ticket, big brother, what is in your head, you can come up with such a bad idea!"
"What a mess, I'm using Japanese money to achieve cash return and reduce the pressure of future runs, do you understand?"
"I don't understand very well, but didn't you promise to guarantee the value of the ticket, big brother! As a result, you also participated in the black market, did you break your promise? ”
Zhang Tinglan was speechless for a while, of course what the second brother said was not wrong, but the situation was like this, and he had to sacrifice the interests of some people, Zhang Tinglan firmly believed that this sacrifice was valuable, otherwise the Japanese controlled Mukden's finances, and I was afraid that the people would be even more miserable.
"Tomorrow, I will find a way to increase the proportion of the black market a little more, and exchange it at eighty percent, forcing the Japanese to come up with more funds, which can be regarded as the maximum compensation for the people!"
Every time the currency fluctuates, for the common people, it is a catastrophe, if it can be exchanged by eighty percent, many people have already burned high incense!
Under the dual promotion of Zhang Tinglan and Zhengjin Bank, the black market of currency in Fengtian spread rapidly, and all kinds of black markets in Fengtian, underground banks, casinos, pawnshops, and even teahouse baths, there were people who exchanged tickets back and forth. And the price code is higher and higher, at first it can only be exchanged at half price, and then it rises to sixty percent, seventy percent, and even eighty percent.
The increase in the exchange price of the ticket also increased the cost of the Japanese sharply, and they had to come up with more funds to exchange the ticket, which was also a drain on the ammunition of the bank.
Gradually, the common people are a little aware that if the ticket is really worthless, will anyone be in such a hurry to redeem it!
Maybe the price of the ticket will increase in the future, so everyone's panic has calmed down, and they are not in a hurry to redeem it, but want to wait until the official bank account reopens.
In just one week, Zhang Tinglan has exchanged 550,000 fake tickets and more than 400,000 real tickets, all of which have been recovered and destroyed.
"Mr. Iron Shrine, your idea is really good, the Japanese have more than 500,000 counterfeit coins in their hands, and we have more than 400,000 genuine coins, which is equivalent to reducing the exchange pressure of one million!"
For counterfeit money, Zhang Tinglan has absolutely no obligation to exchange, destined to become a pile of waste paper, the competition between the two sides has just begun, Zhang Tinglan won a game, first cut off a little meat from Zhengjin Bank.
And this method is equivalent to snatching meat from the enemy, which can produce a double effect, Zhang Tinglan was completely attracted by the huge benefits.
"Next, how about we expand it, Zuihou will take back another million tickets, so that the cards in the hands of the Japanese will be greatly reduced, and our pressure will be greatly reduced!"
"Don't dream, the Japanese are not stupid, they have received too many counterfeit money, they will definitely find out. If it is announced in advance, it will only accelerate the collapse of the ticket, and the people may run on it in advance! In the remaining days, we still have to be a little more restrained, and don't lose ourselves. ”
Compared with Zhang Tinglan, Wang Yongjiang can definitely be called an old man, and the more critical he is, the more he can stay calm, and he knows that he will accept it when he sees it.
"To put it mildly, counterfeit money can only be regarded as a hidden weapon, not enough to fight against a behemoth like Zhengjin Bank, the key is still on the old guy Fred, how did you talk to him?"
Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Don't worry, it has been almost implemented, and several factories in Mukden will form an export consortium to supply supplies to Russia." Russia will come up with five million rubles worth of bank bonds, nominally to cover the payment for Mukden, but in fact it is our reserves, and I have prepared two million rubles, which can be exchanged if necessary! ”
In fact, Zhang Tinglan's preparations are not only these, the Fengtian Industrial Group can also provide a batch of silver, and Zhang Tinglan also has 500,000 pounds of money delivered by the British in his hand, which can be said to be sufficient ammunition.
When Wang Yongjiang heard this, he nodded again and again, and said: "The preparations are already very sufficient, but now I am worried that the Japanese will not come to run!" ”
Indeed, as Wang Yongjiang said, it was precisely because the Japanese sharpened their knives that Zhang Tinglan decided to use the Russians' bonds to trap them, if the Japanese did not take the bait, this ruble fell into the hands of the people of Fengtian, and after the collapse of Russia, it was the people of Fengtian who were unlucky.
This has happened historically, when Russia did poorly in World War I and its currency depreciated sharply. Many Chinese investors, on the other hand, have a blind trust in Russia, believing that such a large country can get out of the way even if it loses a little. Therefore, a lot of Russian rubles were absorbed at a low price, and as a result, Russia came to a earth-shaking change, all rubles became blank paper, and investors wanted to cry without tears, it seems that in this speculation, Lao Zhang also lost a lot.
It can be said that Russia's currency and bonds are a time bomb, Zhang Tinglan is eager to stuff the Japanese with this thing, Miki has already bought 8 million yen in bonds, if the Zhengjin Bank eats all these again, when something goes wrong in Russia, Japan will only vomit blood.
After some intensive preparations, Zhang Tinglan finally completely cleaned up the official silver number, and the newly established industrial group also formed a management team to officially take over the Fengtian official silver number. At the same time, it issued a statement to open the exchange business according to the agreed date, and the discount was 90%, that is, 10 yuan can only be regarded as 9 yuan.
However, this discount is quite reasonable, compared with the previous currency fluctuations, it can maintain ninety percent of the value, and many people have already burned high incense. Everyone is looking forward to the approaching date of exchange, of course, a considerable number of people have already exchanged the tickets in their hands early, some people regret that they have lost money, and some people do not believe that the official silver number can be exchanged at a nine-percent discount.
Twenty days passed in a flash, and the day of the official exchange finally came, and the official silver number opened three windows together, and soldiers with loaded guns stood guard outside to ensure safety.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the door was opened to accept customers, in fact, there was already a long queue outside the door, and this line was much more terrifying than the railway station in later generations.
Men, women and children are waiting anxiously, this is their hard-earned money, whether it can be exchanged as scheduled, it depends on today. Soon, the first customer left the official silver account with a happy face, and everyone's mood finally relaxed a lot.
After the rectification of the official silver number, the efficiency is very high, the speed of exchange is also very fast, as the successful exchange of people leave the official silver number with a smile, the people finally regained a little confidence.
But Zhang Tinglan, Wang Yongjiang and others have not relaxed at all, and now they are just some retail investors, with a maximum of dozens or hundreds of yuan in their hands, and the real big ones have not yet appeared.
The first day has passed, and the official silver account has been exchanged for a total of 150,000 oceans, which the industrial group can afford to afford, but how to deal with those big accounts is the real trouble.
However, there is no turning back from the bow, no matter what tricks the Japanese play, Zhang Tinglan can only accept the move, of course, he will not be beaten passively, but actively start arranging, it depends on who is more clever.
As a result, the next day, the momentum was very different, there was still a long queue in front of the official silver, but at nine o'clock in the morning, a group of swaggering Japanese ronin appeared outside, they didn't pay attention to the crowd in line, but rushed directly to the front.
"Line up!" Several soldiers of the Independent Brigade unceremoniously turned their guns on the Japanese ronin.
These guys are used to being domineering on the ground in China, and wherever they go, they don't have the habit of lining up obediently, so they immediately widened their eyes: "Baga, you dare to stop the warriors of the empire, I want to cut off your head!" ”
The leading ronin used his hands, at this time Zhang Tinglan, who was personally sitting on the official silver number, had already noticed them, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen strong soldiers rushed out and surrounded these arrogant and domineering Japanese ronins, and Zhang Tinglan then strode out.
"When you get to the official silver number, you have to obey the rules, no one is an exception, whether it is Chinese or Japanese, all customers are equal, whoever wants to make trouble, ask these guns if they promise it!"
