Chapter 59 I need
"I didn't say that I need Huisheng's shares, did I?"
Bank shares?
Just kidding, Chen Moran is not interested in the bank with a registered capital of only 2 million pounds, but actually has assets of less than 500,000 pounds. The reason why he fell in favor of Huisheng is actually his branches and the bank's circulation channels.
Circulation channels! For Chen Moran, nothing is more important than circulation channels.
Printing counterfeit banknotes in later generations is only for selling for huge profits. In this era, printing those banknotes that can be fake and real money is to use counterfeit banknotes as real banknotes.
As for the inflation caused by excessive banknotes flowing into the market, Chen Muran has also considered it, but as long as the amount of printing is controlled within a reasonable range, it will not have much impact. In this era, although the U.S. dollar has not been issued as trillions as the world, there are also tens of billions, and there are dozens of coins alone. Billions of dollars, as long as India is a fraction, it is enough to meet his needs.
After all, for Chen Moran, what he needs is not to let counterfeit money flood the United States, trigger inflation, and impose a fatal blow to the U.S. economy as the world's number one economic power.
This is not what he needs. What he needs is to "exchange paper for money" and exchange those worthless paper for everything he needs like the Federal Reserve in later generations, but ordinary purchase of materials is far from meeting Chen Moran's needs. According to his idea, these counterfeit coins are used to buy gold and silver, or in the country. The most important thing is to convert fake money into real money and silver.
In this "monetization" process, what Chen Moran needs is exactly a circulation channel, an "issuance channel" that distributes banknotes through banks. That's why Chen Moran fell in this bank.
"No need for bank shares?"
Chen Moran's answer alerted Catherine, and she even began to consider whether she should keep her sister away from this "greedy" Oriental.
"What I need is your bank!"
That's true! Now Catherine couldn't help but have a fire in her heart. Unlike the flame of physiological needs in the past, this time it was anger.
When the indignation flashed in Catherine's blue eyes, Chen Moran smiled.
"But I don't want to get your bank! Just need it! Instead of getting it!"
The contradictory words only made Catherine feel a big brain. What did he mean? He needed a bank, but he didn't want a bank.
"We can skip the question first and talk directly about the problem you are facing!"
When Catherine looked at Chen Moran puzzledly, he changed the topic.
"I know that your bank needs a sum of money. If I guess correctly, it should be a huge sum of money!"
"One million pounds!"
Catherine said without concealment, taking a sip of coffee and looking at the Oriental in front of her. For any tycoon in Shanghai, this is a huge sum of money. After a little meditation, she added another sentence.
"Of course, if you can get 500,000 to 60,000 pounds, the problem can also be solved."
While Catherine spoke, Chen Moran kept observing her expression to get some information. As previously guessed, she was exhausted. But even if she is at the end of the country, she is still sticking to this bank. The significance of this bank is absolutely extraordinary to her.
This discovery only makes Chen Moran happy. He is desperate and reluctant to give up. Is there a better goal than her?
"One million pounds!"
It seems that when he was whispering, Chen Muran's left hand cut a cigar between his lips with a cigar pliers and ignited it to take a deep breath.
"Not much, I can take it out completely!"
The cigar smoke lingered between Chen Moran and Catherine, and was soon stroked by a breeze. Catherine looked at the man in front of her and listened to his words. I don't know why she didn't like it in her heart. From what he said before, she always felt that the man seemed to have something else to do, but what was he plotting for? Is it?
Is it the equity certificate?
Impossible! Subconsciously, Catherine rejected the idea that the Boer War would soon end, and the equity certificate would become tens of millions of pounds of wealth in the next few months. As long as she got through the current difficulties, she would not have to worry about it even if he forced the debt.
I need your bank! Why does he need Huisheng?
"I think, Mr. Chen!"
Catherine looked at Chen Moran with a charming look in her eyes.
"I'm afraid you won't lend me such a huge amount of money for no reason, will you?"
"Of course!"
Chen Moran replied very affirmatively.
"But I don't think it's borrowing. I prefer to...invest!"
Investment? Catherine was alert again. Looking at this Chinese who was fluent in English, she said it was an investment, and I'm afraid only ghosts believe it.
"Mr. Chen joked, if you don't need the shares of Huisheng Bank, then I don't think my bank has anything worth your investment!"
Despite vigilance, Catherine continued to ask about the dilemma facing the bank.
"Since it is an investment, it needs to be returned. So, Mr. Chen, what do you need?"
Chen Moran, who was smoking a cigar, had been waiting for this sentence, and his body leaned forward slightly.
"I know that your banks, especially those like you who have branches in other countries, have some channels."
After spitting out a cigarette, Chen Moran looked very serious.
"Secret channel!"
The so-called secret channel between banks is what Chen Moran saw in the book when he worked for the political axe loan company. In this era of gold standard, due to the restrictions of the laws of other countries, multinational banks always establish some underground channels in order to transport gold secret out of other countries. In the banking industry of various countries, it is almost public. The secret is that this channel ended with the end of the gold standard after World War I.
What Chen Moran is looking at is not this underground channel to take gold abroad. This channel can be established by anyone. In fact, it is nothing more than smuggling. What he really cares about is the process of turning paper money into gold. How to turn millions or even tens of millions of dollars of paper money into gold without causing the market. In the panic, those professional bankers have built a perfect underground financial exchange system in hundreds of years. In this system, millions of dollars of gold flows underground every day, and what Chen Moran needs is to use this system to help himself turn dollars with different denominations into real gold and white. Silver.
Huisheng may not be big, but its founder is a typical international financial speculator. No one relies more on this channel than these speculators, and his channel is exactly what Chen Moran needs. Use this channel to turn banknotes into real gold and silver. At the same time, this channel will help him bring a large number of counterfeit banknotes to the world. It can be said that the whole process is completely through the underground network painstakingly operated by those bankers to realize the circulation of counterfeit banknotes.
But although this underground network has existed for hundreds of years, it is impossible for ordinary people to enter.
"Can you tell me the reason?"
Catherine obviously didn't expect that all he needed was that channel. Although she was not familiar with that channel, she was also familiar with it.
"Business reasons!"
In the face of Chen Moran's "honesty", Catherine hesitated instead. It was an inter-bank channel. The reason why banks established this channel was to worry about extracting gold from other countries and causing deep economic panic. What is the use of this channel for him?
"Of course, Miss Catherine!"
Chen Moran leaned lazily against the back of the chair. At this time, he was eager to let him fall under the down.
"I'm not in a hurry!"
Leaning against the back of the chair, he looked at the pedestrians on the roadside. Occasionally, when he saw a few women, he left the woman in front of him with the afterglow. He had to admit that this woman was the real beauty he had seen in this era, and even Ji Li could not be compared with her.
Catherine, who always bowed her head and was silent, looked at the cold coffee in the cup and looked up.
"In ten days, I need a million pounds or 7.14 million taels of silver!"
