The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 355, you are very cunning
"Can you find the source?"

"Shall I try?" Xu Qinghe thought for a moment and nodded.

"Try your best to put your own safety first." Cheng Mo also knew that investigating such a matter must be very dangerous. Dare to make counterfeit money and make the counterfeit money so lifelike. The power and energy behind it are definitely not ordinary people. .

Sometimes, not to mention patrolling, even the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau may not be able to compete with others.

"I know."

"Old Xu, brothers, for your hard work during this time, I will give you an extra month's allowance." Cheng Mo ordered.

"I thank you for your brothers."

"You're welcome, brothers, follow me. If you can't even get a full meal, then I'm incompetent as the leader." Cheng Mo said.

After Xu Qinghe left, Cheng Mo stared at a few small-denomination counterfeit legal notes on the table in trance for a long time.

The struggle in the financial field is complex and cruel, and its destructiveness and impact are far more profound than those on the direct battlefield.

"So, you want me to come forward and tell the British about this?" Cheng Mo understood.

Tony Kaiziwei was surprised. Cheng Mo, who didn't like going to entertainment venues like dance halls, suddenly asked him to play.

After returning to Laozha Prison from Xu Baichuan, Cheng Mo called Tony Kaiziwei and invited him to have fun at Xianles Dance Hall.

……

"Yes, although we also have other communication channels, yours is the most effective." Xu Baichuan said.

"Do the Japanese know that?"

Cheng Mo made an appointment at the billiard room.

"Such a large sum of money cannot be concealed. It must be transported by sea."

This is also one of the few games that Cheng Molai can play in the dance hall.

"How many?"

……

"Two million small-denomination banknotes will be shipped from Hong Kong and will arrive in Shanghai soon." Xu Baichuan said solemnly.

"I don't know how to transport it specifically. Anyway, after arriving in Shanghai, the concession needs to come forward to protect it." Xu Baichuan said.

Of course, in later generations, even ordinary people could play table tennis, and there were even special competitions, world-class.

"I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee it will work." Cheng Mo said.

"If the Japanese use warships to intercept them at sea, wouldn't it be like beating a dog with a meat bun?" Cheng Mo was shocked. The money was brought to Shanghai. It was obviously used to solve the money shortage. There were also Huaxing bonds issued by the concession and the reform government. Competing for circulation rate, if the people in the concession all use banknotes issued by the pseudo-government, the legitimacy of the legal currency will be lost.

A billiards room is a billiards room, a game popular among the rich in Shanghai.

He responded immediately.

"Well, the British attitude on this matter is crucial."

There must be a reason for this, and the venue was chosen to be the Xianles Dance Hall.

The Xian Lesi Cabaret is a stronghold of the British intelligence agency in Shanghai. If it were any other place, Tony Kaiwei, as an intelligence officer, would not dare to go there.

The level is still acceptable.

Although he had not practiced specifically, at least with his vision and strength control, he would have no problem easily defeating Vice President Tony Kaiziwei, who considered himself a master.

However, how can you win easily when playing with your immediate boss? You have to win and lose, and you have to make the other party happy to win.

Although Cheng Mo is not a social cow, he still understands social rules and human nature. "Cheng, why did you suddenly think of inviting me to play golf at Xian Lesi?" Tony Kai Ziwei asked with a very cool and unrestrained hole-in-one.

"I haven't played for a long time. I want to test whether I have regressed."

"You are just too strict. You have to know how to relax and enjoy yourself. There is never enough work to do, and there is never enough money to make."

"My country is being invaded, and I always have to do more for it." Cheng Mo said.

"I knew you didn't just come to me to play ball today. Tell me, is there anything you need my help with?" Tony Kaiziwei asked.

"It's not about helping me, it's about helping my country."

"You have taken a passport from the British Empire, you are British."

"But neither my wife nor my relatives and friends are."

"Your wife, she can easily apply for a British passport. You can try it." Tony Kaiziwei shrugged his shoulders and said.

"I have to respect her wishes on this."

"of course."

"The people in Chongqing asked me to ask Mr. Tony for help. When the matter is accomplished, they promised to reward me with ten gold bars!" Cheng Mo knew that Tony Kaiziwei was also a guy who had no profit and was unwilling to do anything early. If he had benefits, he would be able to handle anything easily. If something is not good, it depends on whether it is good for you or the UK.

"Oh, tell me?" Tony Kaiziwei naturally became interested when he heard that there was a reward of "ten gold bars."

Gold retains its value at any time.

"A batch of legal tender printed by the British Mint will enter Shanghai through Hong Kong, but this batch of legal tender will definitely be blocked by the Japanese or even seized," Cheng Mo said.

"This is not a trivial matter. It is related to the financial order in the concession. What is such a large amount of legal currency used for? Is there any regulation?"

"Exchange old coins circulating in the market."

"Is it that simple?"

"This batch of legal tender is of small denomination. It is mainly to make up for the current lack of circulation in the concession and is conducive to the stability of the market order in the concession." Cheng Mo explained.

"Is this money used to compete with Huaxing Bonds?" Tony Kai said proudly, "I got the news that Huaxing Commercial Bank plans to issue a batch of Huaxing Bonds worth about three million yuan. At this time, there is a legal currency Come in, the purpose is self-evident.”

"Mr. Tony, I really don't know. I usually don't pay much attention to this kind of things." Cheng Mo was slightly surprised. He really didn't know this kind of secret.

"Huaxing bonds are insufficiently circulated and no one recognizes them. The market is still dominated by joint bank bonds, customs bonds and legal tender."

The market does not recognize Huaxing Bonds because it has no anchor and no credit endorsement. The reform government may fall one day. By then, holding Huaxing Bonds will be equivalent to a pile of waste paper. Of course, Huaxing Bonds are in The circulation in North China is okay, but in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, not many people recognize it.

Some people even prefer to use Japanese military coupons instead of Huaxing coupons.

"Mr. Tony, this is not a bad thing for us. At least it can solve the problem of money shortage." Cheng Mo said.

"Cheng, you don't know much about finance. This cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. The concession is not a battlefield for them to fight. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, but Mr. Tony, even if we don't allow them to fight, will they be obedient?" Cheng Mo said, "We have an old saying in China, which is to sit on a mountain and watch tigers fight. If one side has an absolute advantage, what else do we need to do? Woolen cloth?"

"Cheng, do you think there will be a chance of reaching peace if Mr. Wang comes to power to form a government?" Tony Kaiziwei suddenly asked a question.

"Maybe, at least it seems to be off to a good start now." Cheng Mo said against his will.

"Cheng, you are very cunning, but you are right. What does the fight between them have to do with us?" Tony Kai said proudly, "You can tell the people in the Blue Clothes Club that as long as they can send the money By transporting it into the concession, we can ensure that the banknotes go where they should.”

"Understood, thank you."
