After some consideration, Lin Mo said: "There are two options. One is to get an equivalent amount of bank notes issued by banks in Shanghai, plus some gold and some scattered foreign currencies.
The advantage of this plan is that you can take it back and spend it slowly without any worries, and different currencies can also be used to spend some special-purpose funds.
Another option is to give all foreign currencies, but only to colonial currencies, that is, Hong Kong dollars and Lat coins. There should be no problem in using them. In the recent period, the circulation of these currencies in Shanghai will not be low.
But I can't give you equal value, I can only give you 70% to 70%, because the price of silver has begun to fall, and it is likely to fall by nearly half in the end. If I give you the equivalent foreign currency now, it will be difficult to explain it when you go back.
However, after you take it back, you can exchange it for silver dollars when the silver price is low. If you calculate the silver dollars this way, you won't suffer any loss, and you can even make more profits if you operate it properly.
Moreover, the price of silver is likely to rise again in the future. If there is a way to sell it again at that time, there will be greater profits, but this operation is more troublesome and may also involve a lot of risks."
The plummeting price of silver was already confirmed. Before leaving Shanghai, Lin Mo went into a shop equipped with a telephone and secretly called the commercial bank to learn about the situation reported back from the United States.
After the opening of the market, the Bank of America surged higher and crossed the one-dollar mark several times. Although it was pushed back by profit taking, by the middle of the trading time, it was already trying to stabilize the one-dollar mark.
It was rumored that the retail investors who speculated in silver had already begun to celebrate, but unfortunately, the silver ship had already docked when the market opened, quickly unloaded the silver through customs, sent the silver to the designated warehouse, and opened a large number of orders.
Before they were happy for a while, countless new orders were thrown out, which gave those who speculated on silver a cold water in the head. While they were still confused, the news of the silver ship came out, which hit the cross-market sentiment.
Sell, sell, sell, even if you want to take it, the silver price pours down like a waterfall. Countless people wave their contracts and want to sell. A stampede appears. The huge amount of selling directly smashes the silver price without even a cent.
It bounced, and all that was left was a clattering sound.
At present, it is estimated that many people in Shanghai have received the news. However, these people who have the strength and willingness to track and understand the trend of foreign silver prices in a timely manner may have already foreseen the decline in silver prices and have even prepared to harvest.
They are so happy! They have no intention to pass it on, so those speculators who are still looking forward to the rise in silver prices are still immersed in their dreams, unaware that the sky is cracking.
Su Hongjie considered it carefully and asked solemnly: "Can we make it a middle ground, so that one plan accounts for half? The former will be reserved for various work expenses, and the latter will be used for trial operations."
"...Okay..." Lin Mo did not refuse. After confirming with Su Hongjie that there was no problem, he rummaged through several boxes and currency exchange books.
Lin Mo did the calculations, and as part of the plan, he gave him most of the bank notes, added a few hundred taels of gold, and some scattered US dollars and pounds to make up the money for him.
The second part of the plan was to pay him 75% of yesterday's market price, half of it in Hong Kong dollars, and the rest in other colonial currencies.
Both of them have their own tendencies. The former left some bank notes for his travel needs and gave all the rest to Su Hongjie, while the latter gave some more banknotes that would have better circulation.
Overall, it can be said that it is impartial, neither overpaying nor deducting, and it is a business-like affair.
"The normal harvest at the Yin family residence is about one million, and I didn't have time to count them one by one, so I converted them to this amount. These are the ones listed. There will be some discrepancies, but in the end it is only a few hundred.
"
"Give it all to me?" When he ordered it, Su Hongjie also paid attention. After hearing what Lin Mo said, his face showed a bit of surprise. He thought he was sharing it with them! But he didn't expect it to be given to him.
"Of course it's all yours. Anyway, I'm not as good as you!" Lin Mo smiled and replied.
"Do you have any other big actions?" Su Hongjie reacted immediately and looked at Lin Mo with some surprise. There was no news about this!
"Otherwise, where do you think this money came from? It's not a big gain, so how can I dare to take charge of it privately and divide the money? Don't worry, this is really just a fraction, just take it with peace of mind."
"Those are all?" Su Hongjie didn't respond. His hands were trembling and he pointed at the pile of boxes behind Lin Mo.
"...Hiss..." Lin Mo nodded slightly. Su Hongjie took a breath of cold air. It took a long time to calm down and speak.
"What big action did you do? Rob the bank?" The surprise was real, but Su Hongjie was also slightly scared.
Especially when he thought about what Lin Mo said before about the reaction of the Japanese. At that time, he thought he was talking about the Yin family residence incident, and he thought it was a bit exaggerated. But now, looking at it, even if it is considered lighthearted, how big a deal these guys have done.
ah?
"Don't worry. All preparations have been made for the response. There will be no problems. As for the specific situation, it will be kept secret for the time being. I have to hide it from Nanjing for the time being. If it is not suitable for you, you should also hide it, so it is better not to know.
"
Su Hongjie nodded, but couldn't help but remind him: "You better hold back, don't make any big mistakes!"
"Don't worry, I'm sensible. Don't talk about this. There is an unexpected harvest at the Yin family residence. The other party has hidden a sum of banknotes with a face value of millions. They are just North Korean won and counterfeit Manchu coins. I am also prepared to hand them over to you.
.”
"What do you mean, you want me to exchange this money and spend it?" Su Hongjie was still a little dazed.
"Absolutely not? Although it is an old coin, it is still risky to spend it casually. Moreover, it is okay to use it in its circulation area, but it is not suitable to spend it in other places.
So we still need to find someone with channels. Remember the North Koreans who helped us carry the package? We can contact them. It is probably easier to find channels over there. We can sell it to them at 50% of the market price and let them go.
Operation."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Fifty percent? Is it a little less?" Su Hongjie still listened attentively. After hearing that, he was told to give out half, which made him a little unhappy.
"This is already high. If the other party exchanges it for use, there will be discounts, costs, risks, etc., and it will be needed for your own operation. You may work hard, but in the end you won't get much more than this plan.
In addition, you have only temporarily established a foothold in Shanghai, and rashly going to unfamiliar areas to carry out activities is risky. Most importantly, it is inconsistent with your planning and layout and will not bring other benefits.
This amount of funds was handed over to the group of Koreans to operate, which was a slight support. They were more familiar with the situation there and were able to move around with ease. And they were on the opposite side of the Japanese, and they looked like they wanted to do something.
With such a large amount of money for them to operate, they might be able to do something good."
There are channels on Lin Mo's side, such as the groups of people who arranged to go to the Northeast to collect military technical talents. Some people have already established a firm foothold and opened up covered smuggling trade routes.
It is not difficult to invest, use, and redeem this batch of funds, and it can even give them a boost. However, Lin Mo feels that those channels have the value of retaining and operating for a long time.
And they are not sure if there is any problem with this fund. Anyway, they are not short of money, so there is no need to take this risk. The same is true for Su Hongjie. This unexpected fund was provided to him, but it is not a risk.
Su Hongjie thought about it for a while and then agreed. The two discussed it again and stopped the boat first. The small awning he came with was tied to the side of the big boat and dragged away. After loosening it, the things were moved onto the boat. Su Hongjie took a moment to
He led the people away with a look of apprehension.
Of course, it wasn't just the two who came. Lin Mo also arranged for several people to escort him. After all, he brought such a large amount of money! Not to mention other things, Lin Mo couldn't trust the people following Su Hongjie. It's better not to test human nature in this matter.
Good.
As for the members of the third and fourth teams, at least judging from tonight's actions, there is no problem in this regard. At least Lin Mo didn't see it, and he didn't believe that such a thing could be hidden from him.
This is not surprising. We usually share a lot of money, and we know very well that we must have a share in it. Moreover, we have sufficient funds for operations, so much that it can bring tears of envy to the corners of other people's mouths.
In addition, the small treasury in the group usually allows everyone to receive a considerable amount of subsidies, and there are also special funds for food, clothing, housing and transportation. If a family member is sick or wants to start a small business, it can not only advance funds, but also
There are various kinds of care available.
Anyway, they basically don't worry about money. In addition, they may be jealous of this large amount of money because of the sense of belonging they have created, but they are not ready to make any plans about it.
Since they were not going to Su Hongjie's side, everyone quickly turned around and rushed to the meeting point, the flood discharge lake where they had settled.
When there was a faint light in the distant sky, everyone entered the wild lake through a very remote waterway that had just become navigable due to the inflow of rainwater.
There is no doubt that it is a flood discharge lake. There was a heavy rain last night, and the water level of the wild lake rose by nearly two meters. At first glance, it was all yellow water. It changed its appearance. The scenery before was infinitely better, and half of it was no longer visible.
Along the waterway, everyone sailed directly to the previous camping place. The tents had been dismantled long ago, and the place had returned to its original appearance. The yellow muddy water was still flowing slowly, and the water flow from somewhere was still there.
Pour into the lake.
The reeds on both sides were also covered by the water. Only half of the waist was still standing on the water like a barrier. It was a little sparse in many places and distributed on both sides of the waterway, like teeth gnawing at each other.
Wang Shoufei had just brought his people back to this place. Although there was only a short stack of rice straw on the boat, it could be seen from the draft of the boat that the load was quite heavy. This was also the reason why they were moving slowly and had just arrived not long ago.
The sparse gaps that were gnawed out like teeth were naturally made by Lin Mo who had foreseen the coming rain and arranged for people to cut them out in advance. There is another scene inside.
It's just that the reed poles on both sides fell over to cover the gap. Fortunately, the reeds on both sides of the gap have been tied with bamboo pieces.
Wang Shoufei led his people in a small boat, used bamboo sticks to prop up the fallen reeds and pushed them to the other side with the help of bamboo pieces. Then they nailed down the wooden poles and temporarily fixed the reeds with the help of bamboo pieces.
After making a circle, the small boat came out. The large boat with a large draft slowly sailed in close to the side. There was a space inside that was slightly larger than the boat.
After slowly mooring in, pull out the nailed wooden poles and let the reeds fall back to cover the edge of the boat. Cover the boat with a camouflage net, and insert the remaining reed tips into the straw closely.
Up close, no one can spot the ship.
After looking at the effect, Lin Mo nodded with satisfaction. The rain came just in time, and the hiding effect of this method was much better than originally planned.
