"Brother, I got it!" Zhang Tingshu smiled and waved a few brand-new Japanese yen bills and sent them to Zhang Tinglan.
There was no expression on Zhang Tinglan's face. Things were much worse than he imagined. The Fengtian government was like a big sieve, and no news could be hidden. The changes in the official bank account were quickly spread.
Wang Shuhan was arrested, and the official bank account suffered a huge deficit, which seriously damaged the confidence of the people in Fengtian. Questions were raised in everyone's mind as to whether the tickets could still be exchanged as scheduled, and whether the industrial group had the ability to bear the deficit.
The result of the shaken confidence is that the black market is prevalent, and the number of tickets in the hands of ordinary people is rapidly decreasing, and all of them have been exchanged away. Zhang Tinglan also knows that the biggest man behind the scenes is Zhengjin Bank, and only Zhengjin Bank has this motive and has sufficient capabilities.
Compared with the powerful Zhengjin Bank, Zhang Tinglan is undoubtedly in a weak position. Facing a strong enemy and competing head-on, there is almost no chance of winning. Even if he is lucky enough to secure the vote, he will lose a lot of gold and silver. The gain is not worth the loss, so some measures must be taken.
Move in secret.
Printing fake tickets was a bad idea that Wang Yongjiang came up with. Zhengjin Bank sent a large number of ronin to buy the tickets. These people may not be able to distinguish the authenticity, so Zhang Tinglan secretly distributed the fake tickets to use
Exchange for real Japanese yen.
Zhang Tingshu had just exchanged ten yuan for some yen from a ronin.
"Brother, they exchanged the tickets for 70% of the face value. What are they planning to do?"
"What else can I do? Of course I want to have more votes in my hands, and then I can force me into the palace. Second brother, you can take these yen again and go out and find a way to exchange them for votes from the people. This time you
Redeem at 75%!"
Zhang Tingshu still didn't understand his elder brother's intention, but he ran out obediently. 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. Be sure not to get back the fake money he had given out. This would be more fun. It turned out that these pieces of money were relatively old and were all real. Zhang Tinglan’s face
A smile appeared on his face.
"Brother, you are too insidious!" Zhang Tingshu had been thinking about what his brother was playing, and now he finally understood.
"First exchanging fake yen for yen, and then exchanging yen for real yen is equivalent to exchanging fake yen for real yen. Brother, what on earth is in your head? You can think of such a bad idea.
come out!"
"What a mess, I am using Japanese money to withdraw cash and reduce the pressure of future bank runs, do you understand?"
"I don't understand very well, but brother, didn't you promise to guarantee the value of the votes? In the end, you also participated in the black market. Didn't you break your promise?"
Zhang Tinglan was at a loss for words. Of course what his second brother said was correct, but the situation was such that he had to sacrifice the interests of some people. Zhang Tinglan firmly believed that this sacrifice was valuable. Otherwise, if the Japanese controlled Fengtian's finance, the people would be even worse.
.
"Tomorrow I will find a way to increase the proportion of the black market and exchange it at 80%, forcing the Japanese to come up with more funds. This can be regarded as compensating the people to the maximum extent!"
Every time the currency fluctuates, it is a disaster for ordinary people. If they can exchange it at 80%, many people will already burn incense!
Fengtian's currency black market spread rapidly under the dual promotion of Zhang Tinglan and Zhengjin Bank. Fengtian's various black markets, underground banks, casinos, pawn shops, and even teahouses and bathhouses have people exchanging tickets. And the prices are getting higher and higher.
The higher you open it, you can only redeem it at half price at first, but later it goes up to 60%, 70%, or even 80%.
The increase in the exchange price of Fengqiao has also sharply increased the cost of the Japanese. They have to spend more funds to exchange Fengqiao, which also consumes the ammunition of Zhengjin Bank.
Gradually, people became aware of it. If the tickets were really worthless, would anyone be so anxious to redeem them?
Maybe the price of the ticket will increase in the future, so everyone's panic has calmed down, and they are no longer in a hurry to redeem it, but want to wait until the official bank reopens.
In just one week, Zhang Tinglan had exchanged 550,000 fake coupons for more than 400,000 real coupons. All of these genuine coupons were recycled and destroyed.
"Mr. Tieguan, your idea is really good. The Japanese have more than 500,000 counterfeit coins, and we have more than 400,000 real coins. In total, it is equivalent to reducing the exchange pressure of one million!"
As for the counterfeit currency, Zhang Tinglan had absolutely no obligation to exchange it. It was destined to become a pile of waste paper. The contest between the two sides had just begun. Zhang Tinglan won the first round and cut off some flesh from Zhengjin Bank.
Moreover, this method is equivalent to snatching meat from the enemy, which can produce double effects. Zhang Tinglan was completely attracted by the huge benefits.
"Next, how about we expand it, and finally withdraw one million votes. In this way, the cards in the hands of the Japanese will be greatly reduced, and our pressure will be greatly reduced!"
"Stop dreaming, the Japanese are not stupid. They have received too many counterfeit coins, and they will definitely notice it. If it is announced in advance, it will only accelerate the collapse of the banknotes, and the people may run on them in advance! The remaining few
God, we still have to restrain ourselves and don’t risk ourselves.”
Compared with Zhang Tinglan, Wang Yongjiang can definitely be called mature and prudent. The more critical the moment, the more he can stay calm and know how to give up when things are good.
"My humble opinion is that counterfeit currency can only be regarded as a hidden weapon, and it is not enough to fight against a behemoth like Zhengjin Bank. The key lies in the old guy Fred. How was your discussion with him?"
Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's almost implemented. Several factories in Fengtian will form an export consortium to provide supplies to Russia. Russia will take out bank bonds worth five million rubles, nominally used to compensate
The payment from Fengtian is actually our reserve fund. In addition, I have prepared two million rubles, which can be exchanged when necessary!"
In fact, Zhang Tinglan's preparations were not limited to this. The Fengtian Industrial Group could also provide a batch of silver. In addition, Zhang Tinglan also had a payment of 500,000 pounds from the UK, which could be said to be sufficient ammunition.
When Wang Yongjiang heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "I have been fully prepared, but now I am worried that the Japanese will not come to cash in!"
Indeed, as Wang Yongjiang said, it was precisely because the Japanese were sharpening their swords that Zhang Tinglan decided to trick them with Russian bonds. If the Japanese did not take the bait, the rubles would fall into the hands of the people of Fengtian. After Russia collapsed,
The unlucky people are the people of Fengtian.
This happened in history. During World War I, Russia performed poorly and its currency devalued significantly. Many Chinese investors had blind trust in Russia, believing that such a big country could escape unscathed even if it suffered a small loss.
Therefore, a lot of Russian rubles were absorbed at low prices. As a result, Russia underwent earth-shaking changes. All the rubles became a blank sheet of paper, and investors were in 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 can't wait to fill the hands of the Japanese with these things. Miki has purchased eight million yen of bonds. If Zhengjin Bank continues to eat all these, it will wait until Russia
If something goes wrong, Japan will only vomit blood.
After intensive preparations, Zhang Tinglan finally completely cleaned up the official bank account, and the newly established industrial group also formed a management team to officially take over the Fengtian official bank account. At the same time, he issued a statement to start the exchange business on the agreed date, with a 10% discount, that is, 10% discount.
One yuan can only be regarded as nine yuan.
However, this discount is still reasonable. Compared with previous currency fluctuations, it can preserve 90% of the value. Many people have already burned the incense. Everyone is eagerly looking forward to the exchange date approaching. Of course, quite a few people have already held the tickets in their hands.
The exchanges were made, some people regretted that they had lost money while others did not believe that the official bank account could be redeemed at a 10% discount.
Twenty days passed by in a blink of an eye, and the day of official exchange finally arrived. The official bank opened three windows, and soldiers with loaded ammunition stood guard outside to ensure safety.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the doors opened to accept customers. In fact, there was already a long queue outside the door. This queue was much scarier than the train stations of later generations.
Men, women, old and young were all waiting anxiously. This was their hard-earned money. Whether they could exchange it as scheduled depends on today. Soon the first customer left the official bank with a beam of joy in his hands, and everyone finally felt relaxed.
Quite a few.
After rectification, the official bank account was very efficient and the redemption speed was also very fast. As people who successfully redeemed their money left the official bank account with smiles one by one, the people finally regained some confidence.
However, Zhang Tinglan, Wang Yongjiang and others have not relaxed at all. They are still just retail investors with tens or hundreds of dollars in their hands at most. The real big investors have not yet emerged.
The first day passed like this, and the official bank account was exchanged for a total of 150,000 yuan. The industrial group could afford this amount of money, but how to deal with those big customers was the real trouble.
However, there is no turning back when the bow is fired. No matter what tricks the Japanese play, Zhang Tinglan can only accept them. Of course, he will not passively take the beating, but will actively start to make arrangements. It depends on who is more clever.
As a result, the momentum was completely different on the second day. There was still a long queue in front of the Guanyin. However, at around nine o'clock in the morning, a group of swaggering Japanese ronin appeared outside. They didn't pay attention to the crowd at all.
He rushed directly to the front.
"Line up!" Several soldiers from the ** brigade pointed their guns at these Japanese ronin unceremoniously.
These guys are used to being domineering on the ground in China. They don't have the habit of lining up obediently wherever they go. They immediately widened their eyes and said: "Baga, how dare you stop the warriors of the empire, I will kill you."
head!"
The leading ronin took action. At this time, Zhang Tinglan, who was personally in charge of the official bank, had already noticed them. With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen strong soldiers rushed out and surrounded these arrogant and domineering Japanese ronin. Zhang Tinglan
Then he strode out.
"When you arrive at the official bank, you must abide by the rules. No one is exempt. Whether they are Chinese or Japanese, all customers are equal. If anyone wants to cause trouble, just ask if these guns will allow it!"
