Chapter 31 John Niu The Counterfeit Currency Expert
The young man who spoke foreign words in Bai Liusu's mouth was none other than John Niu. There were more than 900 people in John Niu's group who happened to come to Guangzhou together. Their distribution plan was arranged by the staff based on the specialties of each person. This was originally It was to allow all the talents to be put to their best use, but who knew that when it was Niu John's turn, there was a small problem. This guy's specialty was clearly written in mechanical maintenance, so he was naturally assigned to the logistics machine repair shop. After the recruit training and observation and trial period, he finally decided on his destination. However, on the way to the recruit company with the large army, he actually broke out of the team because he saw the sign "Xuebingjun Bank Preparatory Office". He proposed to a major leader who was leading the team that he wanted to go to the bank.
The common currency within the territory under the jurisdiction of the Xuebing Army has always used silver dollars as the basic unit of calculation starting from Renqiu, later to the Hebei-Chahar Special Zone, and now to the Fujian and Guangdong Autonomous Region. The Xuebing Army Military Government now monopolizes a large number of commodities in the country Production and sales, the more common ones include Xuebing brand penicillin and other antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, Xuebing brand bicycles, "Qianliang" fabrics, semen, iodized salt, Dadao brand sneakers, etc., which are still low-end. , and those high-end goods, such as Great Wall brand cars, Xuebing brand motorcycles, military off-road vehicles, civilian trucks, etc. These products must be booked in advance because Xuebingjun’s production capacity is limited. You don’t have to be rich to buy them. Yes, because the Xuebing Military Government only recognizes silver dollars, so although the Nanjing government has repeatedly issued strict orders to use legal currency, there are only a few people who agree with it. Now, not only the local warlords who have large trade transactions with the Xuebing Military Government have completely abandoned legal currency. , even among the many local governments that only belong to the central government, there are not many that adhere to the fiat currency financial policy.
Ouyang Yun insisted on only recognizing the silver dollar as the official currency in his jurisdiction. The main reason was to maintain the independence of the Xuebing Military Government. Secondly, because of its value-preserving effect, the risk of inflation was relatively low. When he was in Renqiu, Xue Bingjun founded a bank. At that time, it was mainly to provide small loans to coordinate with land reform and industrial and commercial development. He did not think about developing a new currency to replace the circulation status of the silver dollar. But now it must go This step is because the inherent limitations of the silver dollar, a metal currency, have restricted the development and expansion of the financial industry and business of the Xuebing military government.
In the final analysis, this silver dollar is too inconvenient to carry, and it takes up too much metallic silver, which has seriously affected the development of Xuebingjun's electronics industry. The success of the "Sink It" air raid has won Xuebingjun After a certain period of development, in view of this, Jiang Shuren proposed to Ouyang Yun that it was time to implement a new type of currency.
Ouyang Yun himself was completely ignorant of this topic. When it came to the issuance of new currencies, he only mentioned one thing: how to prevent counterfeiting. Not to mention the time and space in the past, the counterfeit currency war in the Japanese-occupied areas and the Kuomintang-controlled areas was once a sensation. Ouyang Yun lived in the era when entire ships carried counterfeit coins into enemy territory. Counterfeit coins were frequently reported in the press and became a major problem that countries around the world had to face seriously.
"You want to join the bank's preparatory office." Ouyang Yun looked at John Niu and said calmly,
John Niu's performance last night was too eye-catching and he had obviously made a contribution, so Ouyang Yun was deeply impressed by him. He also learned some information about him from Gu Lianyun and knew that he had a close relationship with Gu Yu, so he was very interested in him. I have a lot more patience,
"Yes, General."
"Isn't your specialty mechanical maintenance? I think this is a very promising specialty. If it develops well, becoming an officer in a front-line company or going to a research and development institute to assist in development and design are both good choices."
"General, there are some things I want to say to you alone, is that okay?"
"Oh, Liusu, Lianyun, then, please stay away."
Bai Liusu frowned and led the people out. Gu Lianyun, wearing clothes that obviously didn't fit, walked into another room. She and John Niu were acquaintances, so she was a little unhappy with his move and said : "Brother Niu, sister can't know anything. It can't be related to Diana. She has also come to China."
"No, no, Sister Lianyun, there is no such thing. It's just that this matter is of great importance, and it's best that only the general knows about it."
"snort."
Ouyang Yun pulled John Niu into the inner room, closed the door, and said, "It's okay now."
"General, first of all, I hope you can believe in my character." When he said this, John Niu looked very hesitant. Before he finished speaking, his face turned red.
Ouyang Yun smiled ambiguously. Thinking of the name Diana in Gu Lianyun's mouth, which was obviously a girl's name, he smiled and said, "Well, is it really related to that Diana?"
"Yes, Diana is my girlfriend, we, we have done some bad things before."
Thinking that he was talking about the relationship between the sexes, Ouyang Yun smiled and said: "That's nothing, who hasn't been young before." It seemed like someone who had been there before,
I don’t know if it was because Diana was involved, but John Niu’s performance now was not as generous as last night. The redness on his face had not faded from the beginning to the end. He said a little coyly: "Uh-huh, General, last year, we thought We wanted to travel across the United States, and we didn't have enough money, so we just forged some US dollars."
Hearing the word "counterfeit", Ouyang Yun's originally casual expression immediately changed, and the way he looked at John Niu was also different. He blurted out: "Oh, counterfeit U.S. dollars, so it hasn't been discovered yet."
"Yes." John Niu lowered his head in shame. Counterfeiting U.S. dollars is a serious crime. His father sent him to China without any intention of helping him escape legal sanctions. He just didn't know if anything happened to Diana. Thinking like this, I suddenly subconsciously felt that the general hadn't spoken for a long time, and I felt a little panicked. I raised my head and glanced at him secretly, and saw him squinting and looking at me with a smile. I didn't know what he meant. I felt uneasy and didn't know what to say. ,
John Niu was still too kind. Perhaps it was because he had been deeply ingrained in the concept of law since he grew up in the United States. Therefore, he took the top officer of the Xuebing Army as a legal spokesperson for granted. Little did he know that at this time, he was in Ouyang Yun's eyes. , that is a pile of sparkling gold bars,
Currency wars have been a part of war since ancient times. Sometimes, they are even more effective than guns and guns in destroying enemy countries. When he was still in Renqiu, Ouyang Yun thought about counterfeiting coins to attack the economy of the Japanese-occupied areas. In order to force the Japanese to spend more energy on construction and management, rather than just asking for it without restraint, the production and even distribution of counterfeit coins is not as simple as imagined. It requires professional criminal geniuses. To execute it, because he could not find a suitable person to carry out this matter, his evil plan gradually had no choice but to come to an end.
This time, whether Jiang Shuren or Ouyang Yun developed a new currency, it was really just to establish a portable currency system to replace the circulation status of the silver dollar, and to use silver as the standard currency to establish independent banks and financial institutions. The reserve fund of the system, but now it seems that the emergence of John Niu will make it possible for his evil plan to be implemented.
The most critical thing in the design and manufacturing of a new type of currency is anti-counterfeiting. As an expert in counterfeiting, John Niu naturally has a little-known secret on anti-counterfeiting. With all the above, it is no wonder that Ouyang Yun is now looking at other people with both eyes. light,
I felt that the general's expression was a bit frighteningly ambiguous, especially the look in his eyes, which was so burning that it made one's face turn red. However, John Niu had almost been sodomized in the United States, so it was inevitable that he had misunderstood. He looked at his tightly closed eyes. The door of the room, this little guy was overwhelmed and started beating wildly. He said in his heart: The general is actually a person with that kind of sexual orientation. What if he wants to force me later? Do I need to call someone? There are people outside. He belongs to him, he knows my secret, and the reason for wanting to execute me is ready. I, what should I do?
Ouyang Yun didn't know that his glorious image was already so obscene in the mind of this banana man. He grabbed his shoulders excitedly and said, "Boy, that's right. Then you can go directly to the bank preparation office to report. Haha, um, just First, we should be responsible for the anti-counterfeiting technology of the new currency. By the way, you said that the U.S. dollar counterfeited with Diana, is this girl also very good at this aspect?"
When he grabbed his shoulders, John Niu's first reaction was to get goosebumps all over his body. However, seeing that he didn't take any further action, he breathed a sigh of relief. When he heard him mention Diana, he thought of the current situation between the two of them. In this situation, I suddenly realized, if Diana is invited to China, or even joins the cadet army, hey, with this general as a guarantee, my father will not object to his marriage to her, because there is a place where Ouyang Yun can be used. His favorable impression of him immediately skyrocketed. John Niu said in distinctive Chinese: "Diana's skills are much better than mine, especially hand-drawing. General, I feel that with Diana's ability, as long as she is willing to help, for The anti-counterfeiting of new coins is definitely of great benefit.”
"But, Diana is an American. Will she agree to come to China?"
"If I were to invite her, she would definitely come. But, general, would you please take your hands away first?"
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Ouyang Yun took his hand away, and John Niu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "General, if Diana comes to China, can you do me a favor?"
"What." Guessing that this was probably his condition, Ouyang Yun asked calmly,
John Niu became a little nervous: "My father does not agree with our relationship. I hope that you can come forward. My father respects you very much, General, and has always asked me to learn from you. If you come forward, he should listen to your advice." "
This banana man's way of thinking is different from ordinary people, and his way of doing things is also unique. Ouyang Yun was really afraid of making any unreasonable demands. Now that he heard that it was such a condition, he felt relieved and laughed loudly: "As long as you If I can invite Diana here, your affairs will be taken care of by me." He agreed to his so-called conditions.
Ouyang Yun is still happy to do the beautiful things for adults,
