The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 292 Xie Xiaochu

The deputy general manager was shocked by Cheng Mo's reminder and quickly ordered someone to inspect the banknotes stored in the bank.

It's not a big deal, I found a lot of counterfeit money.

However, they were all sporadic counterfeit banknotes, which were not the same as what was found in front of them. In this case, it was actually the best situation.

However, the emergence of a large number of counterfeit banknotes on the market is not a good thing. It will disrupt the market financial order, cause panic among citizens, and lead to inflation.

There are many currencies in the concession, including many kinds of legal tender. There are also silver dollars and copper coins in circulation. Silver dollars come in various specifications. Some people are engaged in the exchange business. Anyway, ordinary people use legal tender and silver dollars most.

High-end goods such as gold bars are generally not used for ordinary transactions, and ordinary people do not have such things in their homes.

Legal currency is the most widely used, followed by British pounds, Japanese yen, and US dollars. As for Japanese military stamps, they are only used in the Japanese Concession and are not used much in the Public Concession unless there is somewhere to spend it.

There are other currencies, but ordinary people are not very good at using them.

The legal tender issued by the Central Bank and the Bank of Communications is still used on a large scale, and the Agricultural Bank of China also has the right to issue it.

"But this counterfeit banknote is obviously..." the vice president said, but he knew in his heart that the bank would definitely lose in the lawsuit. If it was discovered when the money was being deposited, it would be fine once the money was collected. Once you enter the bank, it’s hard to explain.

"Then I have such a big loss..."

If it is concealed, more banks will suffer losses, and ultimately the credibility of the Chinese people and the National Government will be lost.

"Of course." The vice president of the bank nodded quickly.

"Don't have too much hope in this case. Maybe the person who committed the crime is not in the concession at all. You have to be mentally prepared and pay more attention when collecting money in the future." Cheng Mo said, "In addition, save money Please give me the identity and address of the person who made the money, and I may ask him to find out more about the situation.”

"If this person is using counterfeit banknotes to cover your real banknotes, then wait and see. If he doesn't know it himself, then wait and see. Don't worry, it will only take a day or two." Cheng Mo said .

"Then you want me to notify other banks?"

"Notify other banks of this news so that they can all be more vigilant and report them immediately if they find they receive counterfeit banknotes."

The companies that print legal currency for the central bank are British Denaro, Ward Road and the American Banknote Company. After printing, the banknotes are sent to China and stamped with the "Governor's Seal" before they can enter circulation and be used.

The legal currencies issued by the three banks are different, but the value is the same. The most used currency is the currency issued by the central bank.

Once large-scale counterfeit banknotes are discovered, they will notify each other as soon as possible. If you deliberately conceal the information, you will become the public enemy of others. If something happens in the future, they will not notify you. The one who will suffer when you see it who?

"Okay." The Bank of China in the concession may usually compete in terms of business, but they are on the same page when it comes to dealing with "counterfeit banknotes."

"Can I take two of these counterfeit banknotes back to study?" Cheng Mo asked, "These can be considered evidence."

"Your bank is responsible for it. You can't win the lawsuit. You accepted the money and gave the deposit receipt to others. This money is in your bank. If you insist on claiming that the counterfeit money belongs to others, do you think they are there? Can you recognize it?" Cheng Mo asked.

"You, you won't say that you have discovered a new type of counterfeit money. Just don't tell them about your scandal. The truth is." Cheng Mo was speechless for a while. How could he be the vice president with his brain? It came through connections.

The vice president's face was extremely embarrassed when he was criticized. He really messed up and caused the bank to lose a lot of money. He must be held accountable for this.

The Japanese can forge fake legal tender, but can’t they themselves make fake Japanese yen?
He has studied Japanese yen paper and technology. If he really wants to make it, he should be able to make it as long as there is no shortage of equipment and raw materials. The key is what is the yen used for?
The counterfeit legal currency used by the Japanese invaders was to disrupt the economy of the Kuomintang-controlled areas, plunder supplies, push up prices, and carry out economic and financial war against China.

What can you do with holiday dollars?
You can't go to Japan to search for supplies and push up prices in Japan. What's the point? The supplies you search can't be shipped back.

He will consider this issue later. He has nothing on hand now, and he can't make holiday dollars even if he wants to.

I still want to remind the people in the Kuomintang-controlled areas and my hometown that the struggle is all-round, not just on the military and political levels, but also on the economic life-and-death struggle.

If the Japanese invaders can tentatively release counterfeit legal currency in the concession, they can also release it in Kuomintang-controlled areas and anti-Japanese base areas, disrupting the local economy.

Cheng Mo sent Xu Qinghe out to check on the businessman who deposited money in Shanghai Savings Bank to see who he had contacts with.

This guy has nothing to do with the Japanese.

Within two days, Xu Qinghe found out that this businessman named Xie Xiaochu was a traitor businessman and had many business dealings with the Japanese.

In this way, this person received a large amount of counterfeit legal currency. Either he was tricked by his Japanese master, or he knew that he was holding counterfeit banknotes. He was cooperating with the Japanese to test whether the counterfeit legal currency they made could work. Found to be fake.

"Boss, why don't we bring him back and interrogate him to see where he got the fake French currency?" Xu Qinghe suggested.

"What can you find out about this kind of person?" Cheng Mo asked, "We can only catch him when he goes to the bank to deposit money next time, and then we find fake legal currency."

"You mean, catch a thief and take the stolen goods?"

"Of course, we have to have something in hand before we can deal with him. If we don't have a clue and we arrest people without any evidence, then in turn they accuse us of arresting innocent people indiscriminately, which will be enough for us to drink." Cheng Mo said, "Just pick two people from the secret service team to keep an eye on. There's no rush."

"clear."

"What's going on with Lin Shiqun recently?"

"There is no movement. He rarely goes out. He is very careful when going out. He is very vigilant and has strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. We don't dare to follow him too close. If we lose him, we will leave him alone. He will always go home anyway. ." Xu Qinghe said.

"Find a way to build our secret safe house on Daxi Road." Cheng Mo ordered. "This will make it easier for us to stay and move around in the future."

"Yes."

Within two days, Xie Xiaochu took action again, but this time he did not go to Shanghai Savings Bank, but to a private Jucheng Bank.

A box of brand new French currency was worth half a million yuan.

Such a large customer shocked the general manager of Jucheng Bank and personally brought someone to receive it.

Banks can only lend money if you have money. If you don't have money, you can't get a loan. Jucheng Bank is secretly cooperating with the gambling gangs in Huxi and lending usury. Of course, the interest rates Jucheng lends are definitely not comparable. It is a gambling position, but the interest rate is much higher than that of ordinary loans. Therefore, the more water he has in his capital pool, the more money he will lend out, and the more money he will make.

If he resells half a million yuan and lends it out, he can earn at least a hundred thousand yuan. The interest for the customer is calculated based on the annual interest rate, and the loan shark turnover rate is higher. Therefore, how much he can earn from the five hundred thousand yuan depends on How long can a customer save with him? The longer he saves, the more he earns.
