Chapter 152 The only choice
Yokohama.
The sun shines brightly outside the window, and there are no clouds in the sky. It's all a sunny day in early autumn.
And this will be in the room of a Western-style building in Yokohama with the bronze medal of "Yonezawa Trading Co., Ltd." A young man in a suit seems to be immersed in a kind of mood of the past and future.
Career, success, fame.
Looking at the folded paper in the copper tray turning to ashes with the flames, Guan Zhicheng sighed proudly.
"It's really Qiu Shuo's word!"
"Yes, it's a beautiful day today."
Suching in front of Guan Zhicheng, Shao Linhe echoed softly. When he echoed, there was no flattering smile on his face, but just a little complacency.
After watching the paper turn into ashes, Guan Zhicheng walked to the window, pushed open the wooden window, and looked at the crowded street.
"765 tons of raw silk, 280,000 pieces of cotton cloth, 450,000 tons of cotton yarn... Tut, this is tens of millions of daily assets!"
And it has been shipped back to China. The director's words made Shao Linhe mutter in his heart.
As the vice president of Fengze Trading Co., Ltd., more than a month ago, he and Guan Zhicheng jointly opened this "Fengze Trading Co., Ltd. in Japan with a registered capital of 10 million yuan. In just one month, there are 53 branches in Japan. In fact, this is the opportunity to carry out an economic war on Japan. Structure.
Subsequently, batches of Japanese Imperial Bank notes of 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan and 50 yuan were turned into old banknotes through special processes, which were secretly shipped to the Japanese bank, mixed with the real yuan, and delivered to the "commercial companies" and other institutions under the company. These fake yuan have become widely popular in just one month, and have become an important means to grab shopping capital, destroy the Japanese financial order, and even seek special funds from the Intelligence Agency, and buy Japanese personnel.
However, on the one hand, the set of shopping capital is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the branches of the company have bought restaurants and restaurants in various places in Japan, and also bought a large number of jewelry and even clothing. The special and fast "consumption" is setting off a small ** of this year's economic development.
After a large number of banknotes shipped from China are put on the market, most of them are directly used for shopping in places where the yuan can be circulated. Because of the large number of Japanese goods, many Japanese businessmen think that the end of the war and the improvement of international status, the good economic situation is naturally understandable.
A large amount of Japanese yuan into the market has increased the circulation in the market, creating a false prosperity similar to the influx of hot money. In the short term, it is said that the purchase of these counterfeit banknotes in China has led to false prosperity. Of course, because a large number of banknotes are circulating in the market, Japanese prices continue to soar, and this surge shows a "reasonable" surge with the help of Japanese political axe.
The war that broke out a year ago led to a sharp rise in domestic prices due to the war, and ordinary people could not afford to buy things. In particular, food such as rice and other consumer goods, but all of this was reasonable during the war. Originally, prices should have fallen at the end of the war, but because of the inflow of a large amount of "hot money", the speed of decline was slowed down, and there was an overall war between them. I don't know how long it will take to transition from a special period of war to a normal period, and what kind of pattern of price decline will be. Naturally, all this is attributed to the "remnants of war".
In fact, in the whole process, the Japanese political axe played a role in adding fuel to the flames. If it was a Japanese enterprise that made a large amount of profits before the war, it would naturally purchase a large number of machinery from abroad to increase the output of goods. However, in the war, in order to avoid gold and silver hard Currency outflow, the political axe temporarily issued a decree restricting the cashing of gold and silver coins. This decree was supposed to be cancelled after the end of the war against Lu, but because the government axe decided to fight against China, the decree not only was not cancelled, but even in order to repay interest, it further strengthened supervision to avoid the private exchange of gold and silver coins for the preservation of value, resulting in the political axe not having enough gold and silver coins to purchase from abroad. Materials or repayment of interest.
As a result, enterprises with a large number of banknotes, because they do not have enough coins, or cannot purchase machinery from abroad, or use letters of credit to purchase, a large number of banknotes either sleep in safes or flow between the market, while an industrial chain composed of Fengze Company and other enterprises is still running. This one also sends orders to Japan when placing counterfeit banknotes.
This makes counterfeit banknotes temporarily circulate in the production field, and the impact of counterfeit banknotes has not fully spread to the financial market. Of course, these counterfeit banknotes keep pouring in. Once they are detonated, they are enough to be a terrible financial disaster.
Of course, for the latter, Guan Zhicheng, as an intelligence officer, can't understand it, and he doesn't need to understand it. For him, the most important thing is to complete the task and complete the task of spending money. This task is very simple and direct, but it also needs to be done carefully. If you are not careful, you may be doomed. The place.
"Chi Qin, do you think they have noticed us now?"
In addition to the intention, Guan Zhicheng said carefreely.
Shaking his head, Shao Linhe looked confident.
"When dozens of companies are scattered, more than a few are only a few million, and a few are only hundreds of thousands. It is difficult to attract attention. What's more, you haven't read the newspaper that the current market boom is used..."
"Winning the war against Russia, international financial capital is full of confidence in Japan, and increases investment in Japan..."
With a sneer, Guan Zhicheng couldn't help sighing for his own arrogant words. If they were a little clearer, they might find the fact that there was an influx of capital, so their banks should have corresponding gold and silver remittances, but what about the fact?
"This is not enough!"
Although he is proud of his current performance, Guan Chengzhi knows that there is still a big gap from his task.
"For the sake of this war, while bearing the "national glory" brought by victory, the people bear more "national responsibility". Before the war, the per capita tax burden was 1.5 yuan, but now it is 5.5 yuan. It is said that the misery of my life is far more than the Chinese people's imagination. The workers are like this, farmers The same is true for the people. Even the vast majority of farmers rent land for a year. After paying taxes and rents, they are not enough to make a living. They can only borrow usury and finally sell their daughters to make a living.
He said "the suffering of the people", but Guan Zhicheng's face did not see any sympathy at all. Sympathy, why should they sympathize with them? This is their choice.
"In this process, the local owner has always been the largest "credit provider" among the private sector. For us, this may be an opportunity to expand the bank's credit business to the countryside and provide loans to those farmers who have no food and clothing. Of course, the collateral can even be their daughter. China also needs to remember women. Yes."
Remember the girl!
As soon as he opened his eyes, Shao Linhe could hardly believe that this was the words spit out of an intelligence officer of the Imperial Investigation Bureau. From the Japanese set of shopping capital, he was then handed over to the domestic company to cover the imported materials. He could also understand that this was at least a "capital preservation business". Now he actually hit the idea on the girl, which is difficult. If not, does he want to "import" Japanese women for the country?
"It's just an idea. Of course, if it's necessary, it's not impossible to consider it. You know, the Institute has always been the best place to collect information. It may not be exported to China, but we can set up our own Institute to get information from all aspects!"
Looking at Shao Linhe, Guan Zhicheng's eyes seemed to say that this is the gap between you and me, and the reason why you are only an intelligence officer now.
"Moreover, these are just to increase our delivery volume. The most fundamental point is..."
He lowered his head slightly, and Guan Zhicheng continued to say.
"We need to use fake accounts to make up for some problems. We got tens of millions of yuan from home, but we paid nearly 10 million yuan of cash to the Bank of Japan. Although this is to get the official attention of the Japanese banknotes and the bottom, the cost is too high. At least this kind of business is not It's cost-effective. If we master a bank, we can play digital games, so as to reduce capital expenditure and maximize benefits!"
"But!"
After a moment of silence, looking at the director, Shao Linhe hesitated and said.
"Will the island respond?"
Kojima was half a month ago. The director chose a "partner" based on the information sent from China, but at the initial contact, he refused the director's kindness. If he did not agree, relying only on the small banks currently contacted could not solve the problem at all.
"What should come will always come. Xiaodao can't last for a few days!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
A staff member walked in and reported.
"President, Mr. Kojima is here!"
Listening to the island, Guan Zhicheng nodded with a smile and said.
" Got it! Please come in, island!"
When he answered, he looked a little excited. He looked at Shao Linhe and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"Well, I said, he won't last long!"
Even until a low-headed person walked in, he hurried over and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Mr. Island, I'm really sorry to let you come here in person!"
While talking, Guan Zhicheng made a standard 90-degree bow to the island in front of him.
Kojima Yoshimura is dressed in a suit. As a traditional banker in Osaka, although he has a typical short head, he has an extremely serious expression and an Osaka accent. No one doubts that he is not a qualified banker.
But what's the truth?
But anyone who knows him knows that although his Xinheng Bank has branches in every county, in fact, the bank has already run out of capital because of several venture investments, and it is facing the possibility of bankruptcy at any time.
"Mr. Tamura!"
He bowed 90 degrees, but the island did not mean to straighten up.
"Now only you can help me overcome the current difficulties. According to the terms we negotiated before, if you are willing to inject another 10 million yuan, 60% of the bank's shares will be transferred to your company. From then on, the business of the bank will be given to Mr. Tamura. What exactly will you do? Yes, I won't interfere with you!"
When speaking, the island with his hands still held a contract. Now the island is desperate. Although his Xinheng Bank is the painstaking efforts of three generations of the Kojima family, if it can't get funding this time, not only will Xinheng no longer exist, but also the island family will no longer exist. In.
When he invested in the northeast industry last year, he thought that he would get everything in Nanman, so he mobilized most of the bank's liquidity bonuses and made a large amount of investments in Nanman with the help of branches in China. In the end, all the investments were empty. Now he blocked the news, but once it came out, everything It's complete. Except for bankruptcy, he has no other choice at all.
And once the bank went bankrupt, in order to show responsibility, Kojima knew that he had to have a caesarean section to apologize, but... he didn't have the courage, let alone let the Kojima family bear this shame.
A week ago, President Tamura of the Toyosawa Company found him, hoping to get Xinheng Bank. At that time, he refused, and now, with the expiration of several certificates of deposit, he has no choice.
"Mr. Kojima..."
With a cold cry, Guan Zhicheng, alias Kenzo Tamura, just looked at Kojima with a smile and looked at his contract. The contract was left to him a week ago. At that time, he refused himself, but now he came to beg himself. It's really a few days east of the river and a few days of west of the river.
In the past month, the Fengze Company has involved almost every industry in Japan, from retail to wholesale, from hotels to restaurants, and there are almost no industries that the Fengze Company does not involve in Japan. It even purchased several Russian merchant ships seized by the Japanese navy and set up a shipping company, but all this has been completed. No, he has a mission.
Therefore, choosing a bank to speed up the "investment" in Japan has become the fastest choice. The Xinheng Bank of Kojima Yoshimura in front of him is the bank he chose to invest in.
"You should know..."
President Tamura's long-term is exchanged for a nervousness on the island. He once thought that he could transfer working capital from other places, but now not to mention his small bank, the monetary base of Imperial Bank is also tight, and working capital is a joke.
"President Tamura, only you can help me now. Please be sure to help!"
Another deep bow. This time, the island even wants to die. If he doesn't help himself, maybe he should find a place to drink a glass of poisoned wine.
Looking at the submissive island, Guan Zhicheng continued to say.
"I didn't say I didn't help you, but..."
I just said half of the words, but I didn't go on.
Kojima hurriedly said:
"What? President Tamura, as long as you are willing to help, I am willing to accept any conditions!"
But Guan Zhicheng didn't say anything for a while. It seems that I don't know how to go on.
"Mr. Kojima, it's not that the president is unwilling to help, but that the president is also very embarrassed now!"
Shao Linhe, who was silent next to him, took the initiative to explain when Guan Zhicheng fell into silence.
"Hey! It's not that you don't know. Now, the president is also facing some problems. In terms of funds, our company can take it out, but considering some factors, I hope you can understand that sometimes although it is a few days, it is very likely that changes will happen that you and I didn't expect!"
"Well, Mr. Okamoto, what do you mean..."
"Let's put it this way!"
After a look at the president, Shao Linhe continued, "We can offer you a sum of money, but if we let the president come forward directly, I'm afraid it will cause some trouble. You know, many times, we have to consider other reasons..."
"Huh?"
The skeptical island will be really confused. What does Mr. Okamoto mean? It can provide funds, but it can't come forward directly. Does it mean that... Looking at the silent Tamura, Kojima seems to understand something. After the undeclared war against Luguo last year, the whole special decrees issued for the war period were passed, such as expropriation of materials, tax increases, increased working hours and other wartime. Economic policies were implemented in just a few days.
Since then, there has been almost no normal production, and all production activities have completely revolved around the war. Civil-governmental materials were expropriated free of charge or cheaply. At the same time, they began to issue a large number of bonds and increase taxes in China. In a blink of an eye, the funds obtained would be used to order more materials from the big chaebols or the West.
At the beginning of the declaration of war, the whole Japanese seemed to be a little chaotic. Countless men, women, women and children tied their heads, waving the Xu flag and shouting, "Long live the emperor!" and "The imperial army will win!" Wait for the slogan and cheer for the war. It seems that everyone agrees with this war, but there are also some people, especially those with a lot of idle capital, who quickly queue up in the bank to withdraw cash based on their experience. Those who have cash panic look for food, daily necessities and other materials, as well as gold, silver and other hard currency comparisons for exchange.
Their behavior may be for various reasons such as value preservation or speculation, and the political axe has repeatedly cracked down on this "non-national" behavior. Similarly, the people are not ashamed of these people's behavior, but in order to avoid being attacked.
During the war, an institution came into being. They gathered those people's money together and invested in various industries to carry out all kinds of speculation. The risks were shared, and the same profits were also shared. Now that the war is over, it's time to "bleach" the money, so they need a bank. But Mr. Tamura in front of him is not willing to have a relationship with the bank at all. He thought... "Mr. Tamura, I can continue to preside over this bank. Of course, you are responsible for all the operations and business. I..."
After bowing deeply again, Kojima was silent. In order to save the bank and the Kojima family, this may be the only choice.
