Chapter Seventy-Nine: His Highness Has Descended
Three tons of gold, converted into dollars, is as much as 2 million, of course, this is not only by the exchange of smuggled goods, the total price of smuggled goods during this period has not been so much. It was mainly Fred who relied on the black market to exchange rubles, and the officials up and down the Tsarist Russia were greedy to the point of forgetfulness, and Fred relied on luxury goods and daily necessities to open the way, and more and more Russian magnates joined in.
The Far East, which had historically been Russia's main gold-producing region, had hoarded three tons of gold in a short period of time by exchanging heavily devalued rubles for gold, and that was just an appetizer.
The gold is still secretly stored in Russia and has not been shipped back home.
After Zhang Tinglan got the news, he hurriedly found Fred, and after the two foxes met, their expressions were similar, very happy, and at the same time with a trace of trepidation.
Although they all know that smuggling is a huge profit, but they don't have any specific concepts, and now these two people are completely stunned by the benefits in it, and in two or three months, they have accumulated three tons of gold, which is easier than robbing money.
"Zhang, we are robbers and traffickers, using goods and connections to loot the Far East and even the whole of Russia. And after receiving a loan from Japan, we will become stronger, and with the cooperation of Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russian financial system will open its doors to us. My biggest problem now is the fear that the Russians will trouble us in the future! ”
As he spoke, Fred scratched at his hair hard, and the daring Jew was also frightened by the profiteering.
"I woke up last night with a nightmare, countless Russian soldiers rushed to my house and took all the wealth, I was also taken away, and then shot indiscriminately, I even saw a bullet through my head, blood everywhere......"
Zhang Tinglan looked at Fred's exaggerated narration, and his face was full of smiles, this old guy seemed to be really frightened by the huge wealth.
"Old friend, if the Russian soldiers want to arrest you, unless they pass my pass first, more than 10,000 people in the 27th Division will protect you."
"However, I am still worried about your combat effectiveness, you must know that a few years ago, eight countries occupied your capital." Fred looked like he was about to say something, and it was obvious that he was very uneasy about the strength of the Chinese army.
Zhang Tinglan also knew that Fred was already very polite, and the current China, in the eyes of outsiders, was just a piece of tofu, and even China's own people didn't believe in themselves.
"Old friend, since you are worried about your safety, you should try your best to help us become stronger, and organize an army of 35,000 or even 180,000 as soon as possible, so that you can sit back and relax."
The Jew nodded helplessly: "I feel like I've actually become your worker, and I'll help you get the bullet production line and more arms as soon as possible." But let's talk about what to do with this gold first! ”
"Of course, it will be shipped back to China first, the situation in Russia is turbulent, and it is very dangerous to put it in Russia!"
"It's natural, I want to know what to do after the gold is brought back, we can't learn from those rich people who usually hide the gold under the bed."
Zhang Tinglan nodded, gold is the universal currency of shijie and the cornerstone of the financial system, and simple storage or direct consumption is the most stupid approach. To make the most of it, you should use gold as a reserve, issue currency, and earn seigniorage.
"I've been preparing to issue banknotes for a long time, and of course these gold should be used as reserves!"
Fred shook his head: "Zhang, it is not so easy to issue currency, and I can only describe the financial order of your country in one word, that is, chaos." There is a lot of confusion, there are various currencies issued by the Beiyang government, and at the same time the local governments are still issuing them, and so are the banks of the great powers. Take Daosheng Bank as an example, in the Northeast it has issued at least ten sets of various currencies, some of which are limited to regions, such as Niuzhuang universal silver dollar, Harbin universal silver dollar, etc., and some circulated throughout the three eastern provinces. As for the Japanese, there are even more of them, and it is really difficult to fight their way out of the many currencies! ”
Fred is telling the truth, and this is also the sadness of modern China, which the great powers have turned into a complete adventure field, a free market for the wanton plundering of wealth. A country cannot even enjoy the right to issue currency exclusively, and the great powers can exchange the blood and sweat of the Chinese people with thin pieces of paper, and the humiliation of this can only be understood by those who have experienced it.
"Old friend, the issuance of currency is only the first step, my real purpose is to unify finance, and eventually drive out all the currencies of various countries, and China's currency issuance power must be in its own hands. Of course, this is a long-term jihua and cannot be implemented for the time being. However, Fengtian changed the new capital, Duan Zhigui took office, this person is destined to be just a passerby, and only Zhang Yuting can really control Fengtian. The time has come for us to show what we can do, and at least we have to get the right to issue tickets! ”
There is nothing more profitable in this world than issuing money, especially paper money, which is theoretically almost 100 percent. As a good banker, Fred certainly knew the benefits of issuing money, but at the same time he was shocked by Zhang Tinglan's ambitions, a young man with too vicious vision.
"The right to issue the Fengtian Guanyin is still in the hands of the Fengtian Guanyin, and as far as I know, most of the officials of the Guanyin have been bought by the Japanese, and it is very difficult to rectify them."
"So I'm going to bring down the official bank and set up an independent Fengtian Bank, which is responsible for issuing currency, and the essence of Fengtian Bank will be like the Federal Reserve, a privately controlled bank, and you and I are the major shareholders behind the scenes!"
Speaking of this, Fred was immediately attracted, and there was a light in his eyes, for bankers, controlling the right to issue currency is definitely the biggest pursuit in this life, Fred is naturally no exception, Zhang Tinglan's proposal can poke at his weakness every time, making this old guy unconsciously crazy.
"Zhang, the Federal Reserve has just been established for less than three years, and even many experts don't know the secrets in it, how can you be so clear?"
"Your God dreams me every night and tells me about the degeneration of the West, a privately controlled bank, which controls the right to issue money, and this is absolutely a crazy thing, where a whole country is working for a few financial oligarchs!"
"It's depraved, but don't you want to follow suit?"
"That's right, Shijie is so crazy, we have to keep up. I am going to unite with the most powerful businessmen in Mukden, and then use the gold obtained from Russia as a reserve, and issue more guaranteed tickets, old friend, if Jihua goes well, after we bring down Daosheng Bank, you will retreat into the background and take charge of the operation of the bank! ”
Fred was completely impressed, which was exactly what he had dreamed of, and the Jew immediately smiled bitterly: "Zhang, I have never resisted your proposal. ”
Zhang Tinglan also showed a relieved smile, he and Fred were not completely close, and Zhang Tinglan had an instinctive resistance to the Jews, and the Federal Reserve was controlled by the Jews. While he handed over the power to Fred, he also kept him under his nose, so as to prevent him from making waves everywhere, and if necessary, he could take it directly.
Of course, Zhang Tinglan would definitely not say this thought, he said with a smile: "Since the old friend has made a decision, we have made a decision, and your shares in Fengtian Bank in the future will be converted according to gold!" ”
The exchange of rubles for gold was agreed upon by Zhang Tinglan, Fred, and Wang Yongjiang, so according to the regulations, thirty percent of the gold belonged to Fred, and now it has been converted into the shares of Fengtian Bank.
"Zhang, it seems that I am going to exhaust my efforts again and find a way to get gold. The first batch of gold will soon be shipped in Russia, and after entering China, you better arrange for people to protect it, after all, we have worked hard to earn it! ”
"Don't worry, I will let Sun Anhu take charge of it with capable manpower, and I can definitely ensure the safety of gold!"
After Zhang Tinglan said goodbye to Fred, he immediately informed his father of the news, and when Zhang Zuoxiang heard three tons of gold, his legs were a little weak, and the Venus flashed in front of him. He knew that Zhang Tinglan was smuggling into Russia and had made huge profits, but he never imagined that he would make so much money.
In the past, gold was calculated by two, but now it actually skips the catty and directly uses the ton to calculate, what a huge amount of money! After Zhang Zuoxiang came to his senses, he immediately grabbed Zhang Tinglan's hand and said, "Tinglan, don't say anything about the amount of gold except me, not even Yuting!" ”
Zhang Zuoxiang can't be calm in the face of this wealth, even if he can't eat alone, he has to make as much as possible.
"Well, dad, don't worry, the key now is to be safely transported to Fengtian, and there will be gold shipped in the future, you have to find a way to ensure safety."
"I'm going to find Huzi right now and let him be responsible, there will definitely be no problems!"
Zhang Zuoxiang hurriedly found Sun Anhu, plus Zhang Tinglan, they discussed secretly for several hours, and discussed how to ensure the safety of gold, and finally decided that Sun Anhu took one hundred and fifty of his most capable subordinates to Heilongjiang to prepare first, as long as the train entered China from Russia, they would protect the whole process and not give an inch. In addition, dozens of secret agents were arranged to be scattered along the Middle East Road to do a good job in intelligence work.
After everything was arranged, after Sun Anhu selected the personnel, he quietly left Fengtian and went straight to Heilongjiang.
Sun Anhu quietly left Fengtian, but someone came with great fanfare, that is, Yuan Shikai's godson, Duan Zhigui, the future godhighness. After this guy got the order to be in charge of the military affairs of the three eastern provinces, he was overjoyed, and at the same time he was even more grateful to his godfather.
Duan Zhigui has already made up his mind that he must conduct a large-scale search in the three eastern provinces and get enough funds to help his godfather ascend the throne, and maybe he will be able to get a hereditary iron hat prince when the time comes.
This guy had a bad heart, just thinking about salvaging a fortune, but he didn't expect that Fengtian and everyone were staring at him, and the fighting between the two sides was about to begin.
