Chapter 464 The most ruthless contractor in history, directly pays wages with fake money!
"Dr. Zhao, do you really think that this year's canned goods will still increase by 20% to 30% by the twelfth lunar month? I'm afraid it's difficult. According to this year's situation, the total number of canned goods we can produce in and around the capital will be at least two or three times more than last year, and the price can still be maintained.
Will it go up?"
"This year's volume is indeed larger than last year's, but there are also a lot more people selling cans! Now, as soon as the canneries produce cans, people are rushing to get them. By the twelfth lunar month, the supply will definitely exceed demand."
In the Zhao family's opera house, everyone was discussing the prospect of hoarding cans. The more they discussed, the more they felt that this thing seemed to be a shortcut to making a fortune. Finally, in order to get everyone to spend more money and dispel everyone's hesitation, Zhao Lihong directly promised to contribute all the money.
People only need to contribute money, and he will take care of the rest. At that time, he will not take any less than 30% of the money earned, but more than 30% will be his.
To put it bluntly, he is betting that the price of cans will increase by more than 30% by the end of the year. As long as the increase exceeds 30%, with his huge capital, he will be able to make huge profits as a banker.
In order to facilitate the operation, Zhao Lihong also developed a kind of canned tickets. Investors will cash in the canned tickets no matter how much they invest. At the end of the year, they can transfer the tickets to Zhao Lihong and authorize him to sell the canned goods with full authority. They can also withdraw money with the tickets.
You can sell the cans yourself, but you have to give Zhao Lihong some management fees when you sell them.
Because of the popularity of military bills, the way of settlement of bills among the people is also quite popular nowadays. For large businesses, it is not new to settle by privately printing bills. Large cloth shops, grain shops, carriage shops, etc.
Doing such things has also led to the development of the printing industry in Beijing.
Ever since the exquisite military stamps first appeared, civilian printers have been eyeing them. However, it is really impossible to print bills like military stamps. The material, color, and printing technology are all highly confidential.
, the government’s investigation is extremely strict, how can it be counterfeited? At the same time, the quality of military stamps will be greatly upgraded every once in a while, and even if you want to fake it, you can’t keep up.
Although it is impossible to imitate military stamps, the means of printing stamps among civilians have improved in recent years, and civilian stamps have become more and more exquisite. The people in the capital have still accumulated some talents and masters in this field.
"Thank you, Master, can you be sure that this vote will be printed as it is?" In a private courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, several people gathered around an old man who was smoking, looking extremely nervous.
"This is banknote. If you print it, you might get into big trouble."
"So it can be printed? Master Xie, you are really stupid. What we are copying is not the imperial court's banknotes, but Jianlu's banknotes. What are you afraid of? If the imperial court knows about it, maybe it will praise us.
where."
"Humph, you bad guys! If you don't follow the right path, you can identify the crooked ones at a glance."
"Thank you, Master. Is it difficult to print this thing?"
"Can this thing made by Jianlu be called banknotes? It's completely incomparable to the ones printed by the imperial court. Just look at the paper! It doesn't even use the better mulberry paper. The color used is also an ordinary color, and it's not difficult to adjust.
Come out, their vote will be wasted if it gets soaked in water, so how can they use it as money? People in the wild are really easy to deceive. The counterfeit printing technology is also so-so. If you print it to deceive ordinary people, it will not be difficult."
"I'd like to ask Master Xie to make a plate quickly and print hundreds of thousands of tickets for us to print out. Just print the ten and twenty coins. The tickets are too big to print out, and they are easy to be scrutinized by others. The printed ones are
It’s too small and it’s a waste of time.”
"How many should be printed? Please give me an accurate number!"
"Let's print 200,000 taels of everything first!"
"Okay, I'll pick up the goods from here in the 20th! Let's make it clear first, I can't print this thing as printing bills and book paper to calculate the money! The total price is 20,000 taels of military notes. I pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."
"Okay! As long as Master Xie can print something that is as real as fake, we will definitely pay Master Xie at this price!"
"Bullshit, you will come and see the sample tickets in five days. If you are satisfied with the sample tickets, you can first put down 10,000 taels of silver dollars."
A few people agreed on the matter of printing counterfeit money, gathered around and smoked a cigarette, and then dispersed. After they left, the printer named Xie began to think about how to print counterfeit money.
Although he kept scolding the group of people who came here, he was quite willing to do this business in his heart. The technical difficulty was not too high, the legal risks were small, and he could make huge profits. This kind of business would be exciting for everyone.
He made a rough estimate and found that the cost of printing this thing was only two thousand taels at most. With a book of two thousand taels, he could make a business of 20,000 taels in one month. He could make a lot of money just by doing it this time.
Five days later, the group came again and saw the sample tickets made by Xie Yinjiang. After taking them into their hands and comparing them carefully, they were very satisfied. They left 10,000 taels of silver dollars and two people watching the scene, and then left straight away.
Just wait for the delivery in fifteen days.
Fifteen days later, they arrived in three carriages, loaded them with counterfeit banknotes worth 400,000 taels of silver dollars, paid the balance and left.
"Demon Town Museum"
In Shenyang City, Fan Yongdou's house had a few old guys who came from Kouwang.
"Has the stuff arrived in Shenyang?"
"Brother Fan, we've arrived! This time, the brothers were afraid of an accident on the road, so they only brought one hundred thousand taels of things. As long as we can get rid of them smoothly, we will ship the rest over here."
"It's better to be cautious. I'll arrange for someone to pick up the things after it's over. As long as this goes smoothly, our business will be much easier in the future!"
Is there any other business in the world that can compare to printing money? As a businessman, I only think of printing counterfeit money to make huge profits now, which is too slow. I have this inspiration, or I was inspired by the fact that Liaodong has already had counterfeit money.
I just thought of it. Since this year, there have been several incidents of counterfeit currency among the people in Liaodong. Many people were fooled into using low-quality counterfeit banknotes to sell things, and they were discovered. Fan Yongdou himself has seen counterfeit currency, and he can tell the truth about the quality of those counterfeit currency.
It’s so bad, you can see it at a glance! Such crude counterfeiting methods can fool people, how can you make something that is the same as real money and still worry about not being able to spend it?
The counterfeit banknote business wants to be big, but ordinary people can't do it! Fan Yongdou is interested in this because he has a platform for money laundering and has the means to quickly flow out this stuff. His platform is the one that recently bankrolled
The Liaoyang defense line construction project, and several trading houses under control. These businesses have a turnover of more than one million taels a year. If hundreds of thousands of counterfeit banknotes are mixed in, they can quickly flow to the big market. No
With such convenient conditions, how can such a large amount of counterfeit money be circulated into the market? You can't let people go to small businesses and hawkers to cash out the counterfeit money, right? How many people are needed to do this job to launder the money!
Another reason Fan Yongdou did this job was that the Manchu and Qing forces were too tight. He was contracted to supply materials and construction work for the Liaoyang defense line, but the Manchu and Qing budgets were too tight.
Working in a normal way, he could earn less than 100,000 taels in a busy year. Note that the 100,000 taels are still banknotes given by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, not real silver! In addition to buying materials, he also earns real money.
I can't even get the points. After working hard for a year, to lose something like this is simply an insult to the character of a profiteer. Since you don't let them make money, Fan Yongdou will find a way to make money on his own and use fake money to pay wages to the craftsmen.
Putting real money into your own hands, this plan can only be thought up by a genius. The biggest trouble in doing this is that there will be a thunderstorm on the spot, so the fake money must be printed to look like the real thing.
