"What's wrong?" Li Wei, who was sitting on the sofa, also asked with a smile after seeing Huang Meiren.
In response, Huang Meiren immediately took out a stack of banknotes from her bag and handed them to Li Wei.
"This is?" Looking at the banknotes handed over by Huang Meiren, Li Wei became a little confused, so he asked directly.
"Boss, this is the counterfeit money we received during this period." Huang Meiren replied immediately without hesitation.
"Oh, what's going on?" After hearing Huang Meiren's words, Li Wei suddenly became interested and said softly.
"Sir, in recent times, there have been an increase in counterfeit banknotes throughout Shanghai. Moreover, these counterfeit banknotes are beautifully made and there is no difference between them and the real ones. Although counterfeit banknotes have always existed in Shanghai, we
Since the trading house started operating, we have basically received counterfeit banknotes, but this is only a sporadic incident, so we have not paid too much attention."
"But this morning, as usual, I took the recently received payment to the bank to store it. However, after being checked by the bank staff, I suddenly discovered that we have received so many counterfeit banknotes in the past few days. I originally thought this was the case.
It was given by a certain commercial bank when settling the payment, but when I came back to check, I found that things were different from what I thought."
"And after asking the staff of our trading house, I found that there seem to be a lot of counterfeit banknotes in Shanghai recently, and they also receive counterfeit banknotes when they usually spend money."
"It is precisely because of this that I feel that something is unusual at this time, so I have come to report to you, boss." Huang Meiren then told Li Wei what had happened.
After hearing Huang Meiren's words, Li Wei's brows suddenly wrinkled.
Because he thought of something!
However, I don't know the specific situation yet, so I can't make an immediate judgment on this matter.
"Do you know who are the people who use counterfeit banknotes?" After thinking for a while, Li Wei asked Huang Meiren.
"Boss, I haven't investigated this matter yet." Huang Meiren answered helplessly after hearing Li Wei's question.
He is just a businessman. Although he has learned a lot from being with Li Wei for so long, his daily contact is basically with business matters.
So he still lacks some sensitivity to other things.
Li Wei did not blame Huang Meiren for this. After all, everyone does what they do, and we cannot expect everyone to be omnipotent.
"Okay, you don't need to worry about this matter. After we come down, let everyone pay more attention to the counterfeit banknotes. At the same time, we can also formulate some measures to prevent these things from happening again." After Li Wei thought for a while, he faced
Huang Meiren ordered.
"Okay, boss." Huang Meiren agreed immediately without hesitation.
"Boss, what about these counterfeit banknotes?" Huang Meiren thought for a while, then looked at Li Wei and asked.
"Forget it this time, but if this happens again, it will be deducted from the employee's bonus." Li Wei also understood the meaning of Huang Meiren's words, so he answered immediately.
Although I say that I don't care much about the serious business in the trading house, and I don't care about the counterfeit money, but the country has national laws, the family has family rules, and I am not a philanthropist, so I don't need to do such good things.
"Okay, boss." After hearing what Li Wei said, Huang Meiren immediately agreed.
Huang Meiren then took the stack of counterfeit banknotes and left Li Wei's office. Regarding this matter, he needed to think of some measures and methods to prevent it.
This time I was careless, but no matter what, this kind of thing can't happen again in the future.
After Li Wei watched Huang Meiren leave, he also stood up, walked to the window, and then began to think.
During this period, because Wang Jixin came to Shanghai and this series of things happened, he was very busy, so naturally he didn't pay too much attention to many things.
In addition, I also trust Huang Meiren's abilities, so for many things, I let him handle them directly without reporting to me.
That’s why I ignored this matter!
Counterfeit money!
To be honest, in a war, if you want the enemy country to collapse quickly, there are many other ways besides military victory.
So using counterfeit money as a weapon of war is nothing new.
Napoleon once approved the printing of counterfeit Austrian and Russian banknotes; during the American Civil War, both the North and the South also widely used fake bills in order to attack the enemy's financial system.
Some countries even print a large amount of enemy currency to impact the enemy's economy. Of course, the effect of this "counterfeit currency war" is also very obvious, and the economy of some countries has not even recovered after the war.
Hitler once ordered his officials to print a large number of counterfeit pound notes in an attempt to economically collapse Britain. Some of these counterfeit pound notes printed during World War II are still in circulation in later generations.
Moreover, this war, whether for China or Japan, is a general war, not only fought on the battlefield, but also overt and covert in politics and economy.
Therefore, the Japanese will naturally not let go of this kind of abuse.
Moreover, war is like a cash machine. The battles are fought on the basis of logistics. Without food and drink, even a powerful army has to lose the battle.
At that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made three expeditions to Korea and the Yuan army attacked Japan, but both suffered losses in terms of logistics.
Therefore, troops need money for food, clothing, shelter, food, drink, and toilets, and money for purchasing weapons and equipment, not to mention the natural resources needed to pay soldiers, as well as trains, cars, planes, and tanks.
But Japan is a country roughly the same size as Yunnan and is not rich in resources. Therefore, during the Sino-Japanese War, in addition to burning, killing, looting and looting the Chinese people, Japan also did this, that is
A large amount of counterfeit banknotes were secretly printed and sent to the Chinese battlefield in an attempt to expand the war situation.
Even after the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, in order to cooperate with the Japanese military's military campaign of aggression against China, Japanese Minister of War Hideki Tojo personally issued an order approving the counterfeiting of legal currency, in an attempt to use counterfeit banknotes to disrupt and destroy China's economy.
