Chapter 2594 banknotes
When this man was taking out a cigarette like this, Fan Keqin happened to see him with a gun on his waist. So there is no need to ask. Considering the positions of the four people at the door of the yard, it is basically certain that they are the guards of the yard. And these four people did not
Standing outside, it feels a bit loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
After Fan Keqin was brought in by Situ Honglang, he heard a slight noise. In the two-story warehouse-like building in front of him, there were machines working. However, the sound was obviously concealed. With Fan Keqin's
Erli only felt that there was a machine operating after entering the yard, and the rest of the people probably couldn't even notice it.
But this is also normal. After all, it is a mint. If there are guards outside, then everyone knows that there must be a problem in the yard.
Situ Honglang didn't seem to mind the possible leakage of secrets after Fan Keqin's arrival. So as he walked, he introduced Fan Keqin and said: "Brother Wan, this is the mint. The smell of ink is very strong inside.
Do you need that mask of mine? It can cover a little bit."
"Ah?" Fan Keqin was stunned and said: "Mint factory? You don't need masks. I don't know what my father-in-law wants to do here."
Situ Honglang smiled and said: "You will know it when you meet the deputy commander later. It is just a good thing, and I will accept your kindness from now on, brother."
"Thank you? Brother Situ is polite." Fan Keqin said: "You are my father-in-law's right-hand man, and that is one of my own. If you are useful, just say so."
While talking, Situ Honglang had already led Fan Keqin past a small truck. Two workers were holding a large box and loading it into the truck. They passed by and arrived in front of a door that looked like a warehouse. Situ Hong
Lang banged on the door hard. A few seconds later, a small iron window on the door was opened from the inside.
The people inside knocked outside, and after seeing Situ Honglang, they immediately closed the small iron window. Then they opened the entire iron door and welcomed them in.
As Situ Honglang said, the ink smell inside is really strong. But Fan Keqin can also feel that the ink smell is caused by too much use and there is only one vent on it.
If it is used on a small scale, the smell of this ink is actually not that pungent. After all, it is the ink used to print banknotes, and it cannot be compared with ordinary paint.
As soon as he entered, Fan Keqin saw that the first floor of the entire factory was actually only about 500 square meters. According to the scale of the factory, it was not a large one. Moreover, this was not a real building. It was a very large building.
High, as high as two stories. There is only an iron staircase directly opposite the factory that can go up to the second floor. But this second floor is not found in the entire factory, but extends more than ten meters from the wall on the north side.
There is an open second floor.
On the first floor, there are not many people actually working, only about twenty. However, there are about ten guards watching the scene, distributed around the factory. It's not that cold outside, so what are these people wearing?
None of them were wearing anything, and Fan Keqin could easily see that basically every one of these people had a gun in their waist.
The second floor is open, and Fan Keqin can also see it. There is also a group of people on the second floor, but about ten of them are surrounding two tables and playing cards. There are a few others who are doing everything.
There are several people behind desks recording something.
However, I didn’t see any machines on the first floor. I just saw workers. Some were bundling dozens of banknotes, some were packing boxes, and some were doing random inspections. Here I took out a banknote and looked at it carefully.
Look, another picture was taken out there and compared back and forth twice.
Looking at the number of banknotes, you can say it's a little or a lot, but it's not as much as you might imagine. There should be more than two cubic meters in total, less than three cubic meters.
Fan Keqin did not see the boy's father on the first or second floor. Although he saw a stair guardrail in the northwest corner, which should be underground. But it was his first time here after all, so he had to pretend and asked: "
Brother Situ, where is my father-in-law?"
"Oh." Situ Honglang said: "It's in the basement. After all, it's a coin printing factory, so it's a hidden spot. There are several machines that don't work so loudly. But working in the basement, the sound is less likely to spread, which is also conducive to confidentiality.
.”
Fan Keqin nodded and said: "That's right, I only felt some noise when I came in. I really didn't hear it outside."
While Situ Honglang was talking, he led Fan Keqin to the northwest corner and walked down the stairs. As he went downstairs, the sound became louder. But it was not that loud. It was just that after the machine was working, it became more like gears.
There's the biting sound, and the brushing sound when printing.
There are machines on the ground floor, but there are far fewer people than on the first floor. There are only six or seven people in total, including the boy's father. At this time, Fan Keqin saw that the boy's father was holding what looked like two pieces of A4 paper.
Such a big thing was facing the electric light above my head, and I was looking at the printed banknotes on it.
Situ Honglang arrived and said, "Sir, Mr. Wan is here."
The boy's father raised his head and waved. Fan Keqin also walked over. The boy's father smiled and handed the large piece of paper in his hand to Fan Keqin and said, "Take a look."
Fan Keqin finally saw that it was counterfeit money. It was the banknote of Wang Puppet Government. But he had to pretend, so he said: "Is this... real money?"
The boy's father nodded and said, "Of course it's real money." Then he smiled and said, "How many U.S. dollars, or real gold and silver, can this kind of money be converted into if we use our channels?"
Fan Keqin said: "What you mean...I don't quite understand."
The boy's father smiled and said: "It's very simple, these are real banknotes. If I put it with you, how much real money, silver, or US dollars can you exchange for it through our channels."
After hearing this, Fan Keqin thought for a while and said: "Then I'll tell the truth, this thing is actually not worth anything now. If there hadn't been a clear regulation not to reject this kind of banknotes, I guess all the market would have to accept this kind of banknotes."
Banknotes are becoming obsolete. So, if you want to exchange U.S. dollars... one thousand to one, I guess it is too much. And if it is a large amount, it is several thousand to one, or even tens of thousands to one, that is normal."
After hearing this, the boy's father smiled instead. Situ Honglang next to him also looked very happy. He heard the boy's father say: "It doesn't matter, you can change as much as you can. From today on, every once in a while, I will let you
