Family and Country Chapter 87: The Trend

The characteristic of a banker is that oil must be squeezed out from the cracks of the stones, but this time, under Yang Rui's persuasion, Zhang Kun had to bleed heavily. Of course, he was very clear about the truth: although the American people have a lot of gold and the price they pay is high, it is only money to get it. Among them, the role of the Intelligence Bureau is definitely greater than that of the navy, after all, the entire gold exchange network is the most laborious.

After discussing the sponsorship matter, the following is what the Intelligence Bureau did. Zhang Shi, who got 25 million out of thin air, was quite excited. He said: "Sir, after the prosecution of alcohol, the United States has serious alcohol smuggling, and all states have dense smuggling networks. My idea is to use the private wine smuggling network to exchange gold, and after concentration, I am trying to find a way to transport it out. However, the starting point of the private wine transport team is the Great Lakes adjacent to Canada. If the gold is to be transported out, the destination must be the coastline, preferably the western coastline. This requires re-planning and another outbound route... "

"Gold is important, but don't delay the important matter because of gold. You can tell which one is more important." Zhang Shi's idea was generally agreed with Yang Rui, but he was still worried that he would use too much of the Intelligence Agency's original resources for gold smuggling.

"Students will definitely be able to distinguish them." Zhang Shi nodded, "With these 25 million, I can recreate and build a temporary system, which will not coincide with the original intelligence system, and this system can also serve as a cover and auxiliary to the original system in the future."

"Who are you going to send?" Yang Rui suddenly asked a more detailed question.

"Students are ready to send" Zhang Shi understood that Yang Rui did not want him to use the overseas Chinese in the United States, that is, the Hongmen system. Because of his concessional attitude towards the overseas Chinese in the United States, the Hongmen in the North America has become increasingly dissatisfied with the Revival Association. "Sir, can Dai Chunfeng be sent? He is now in charge of the British field. Although he is not familiar with the United States, we have a year or two to make him familiar with the place."

Dai Chunfeng is Dai Li. Although he changed his name, Yang Rui still asked Zhang Shi to find him more than ten years ago. However, young people were always a little impatient in order to sharpen their temperament. In the first ten years, he only worked as a newspaper collector in the bureau, and was sent to the UK when Yang Rui stepped down.

Thinking that it was time for him to take on the great responsibility, Yang Rui agreed: "It's a donkey or a horse, and you always have to go there. Just send Dai Chunfeng. Tell him: People are more expensive than gold, don't be too tight at any time."

Listening to Yang Rui's warning, Zhang Shi couldn't help laughing. This subordinate is actually more suitable for assassination mission, and going to the United States to catch gold cannot be thought of 'if you fail'. He said: "Don't worry, sir, he is already very gentlemanly in the UK."

When he heard that Zhang Shi said that Dai Li was gentlemanly, Yang Ruixiao didn't believe it at all, but he could only roughly say how the minions acted, and that was Zhang Shi's business. At this point, the two major financial matters were discussed. After determining the operation code and getting the note signed by Yang Rui, Zhang Shi and Zhang Kun quietly disappeared, as if they had never been there.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, January 19, 19 days later than history, Japan's Tripitaka Province officially lifted the Tripitaka Province order that prohibited gold exports, and returned the foreign exchange price to 100 yen to 49.85 US dollars. The reason why the time point was chosen here is two. One is that it is the Chinese Spring Festival, and the Chinese government, Chinese banks and securities markets are all on vacation, and the few days before the gold ban is lifted is the most likely to happen. Choosing to release the gold ban during the Chinese Spring Festival holiday can greatly avoid Chinese speculators taking advantage of this;

Second, February is the Japanese general election. Although the Ministries where Hamaguchi and others are located can win a majority in parliament, they are not overwhelmingly large. The lifting of the ban on gold is a measure that Japanese citizens hope (increasing hot money cannot be introduced into the stock market and real estate market, it will eventually lead to rising domestic prices; and the rising domestic prices will increase corporate costs and poor exports. Therefore, in the eyes of factory owners, small owners and working people, the lifting of the ban on gold will lead to falling prices and stimulating exports. These people are the big heads of the votes). Once implemented, it will help the general election of the Ministries.

Although the calculation is like this, on the day when the ban on Kim was lifted, Kotashi, president of Yokohama Masaki Bank of Japan; President of the Bank of Japan (Central Bank) Hiromasaki Toshiba, Vice President Ikeda Zen, and even Minister of the Minister of the Tibetan Ministry of Finance, all restless from 8 o'clock in the morning. At noon, Hiromasaki Toshiba, who was waiting in the province of Finance, breathed a sigh of relief.

"The stock price, government bonds, and interest rates are very stable, don't worry!" The same breath was Inoue Junnosuke. Among the people who went to the UK to study finance, he had the best relationship with Toshiba Satsumasa, so he spoke casually.

"US Treasury Secretary Monroe (Mellon) said: 'From the current situation, the economic crisis will last for several years, it is an extremely vicious pessimistic argument. People who promote this argument have ulterior motives. Ford, the automotive industry, also said: 'All situations are better than in the first half of the year'" Although Torikazu is the president of Japanese Bank, the responsibility for the lifting of the ban is Inoue. Since Inoue is taking the risk and choosing to understand the ban, he has to say something to comfort his old friends, even though he knows that the 80 billion assets in the US stock market have been steamed by more than 30 billion in a month.

"The United States and China are always against tit." Inoue Junnosuke's mouth was a little bitter. He thought of the naval delegation that was negotiating in London at this time. "Japan was very uncomfortable in the middle, but the people in the military headquarters did not understand this at all. Yang Jingcheng was still cunning. China had money and chose to invest heavily in infrastructure and industry, but it made the Japanese naval large-scale ship that had been burdened with more than 3 billion national debts. He also called it trusting Japan. He wanted to regard Japan as a shield for China."

It is Japan's practice to borrow domestically and foreign debts to stimulate industrial investment, but many of these national debts are used for military purposes, especially the Japanese Navy. The warships are large and old, and they are both modified and built. After the European War, the navy's military expenditure was more than 250 million yen per year. In contrast, China has only built a small and medium-sized fleet of six aircraft carriers, twelve heavy cruisers, and thirty-eight light cruisers. Although the cost of aircraft carriers is almost three times that of battleships of the same tonnage, it is said that the average cost per ship is as high as 60 million yen, but even if auxiliary ships are added, the total cost is only 700 million yen, which is much less than the Japanese Navy's additional military filings each time.

In addition, the tonnage of the Chinese Navy is newly expanded. There are not as many veterans and active sailors in Japan. In addition, the salary of officers and soldiers is not as good as that of the Japanese Navy. The annual military expenditure of 70 million yuan is enough. This is really cheap. If the Japanese Navy only has 70 million yuan of military expenditure per year, then Japan's finances will be greatly relieved. A country with a GDP of three times that of Japan is actually hundreds of millions less than that of Japan. No wonder the chaebols and shop owners try their best to run factories and open shops in China, and the result is that the taxes are all heading to the China Internal Taxation Bureau. The Japanese tax office collects less and less money.

With resentment towards China, Inoue Junnosuke revealed the Made of the Military Head and the cunning Yang Jingcheng together. Tuoba Kumazu agreed: "Military Head, they all want to be awarded the title of military achievements like China. Then they become a great lord like the Yang family. If they really do this, the sacrifice of the Meiji martyr will be wasted."

Tubayashi Kuozheng said that in terms of ideas, isn’t military supplies and feudals a regression in history? The Ming martyrs finally took power from local lords to the Great Japanese government under the leadership of the Emperor. Now the red deer in the military department actually thought about putting power down. This is simply unforgivable.

As Inoue Junnosuke nodded, the secret footsteps suddenly came from outside. While he was looking around, his heart also tightened, but he heard the secret saying in: "Your Excellency, the US National Urban Bank has a run." He looked at his boss secretly and said: "About one million yen gold has been redeemed."

"Ah," Shinnosuke Imakawa and Kusatsu Toshiba were very nervous. When they heard that it was only more than one million, they laughed at the same time. Kusatsu Toshiba smiled and said, "Don't worry, our gold in the United States is enough to deal with the run of 20 million yen. The ones that were exchanged on the first day should be people who had not exchanged before. Don't care."

"Hay." The secret only reported as required, after all, the amount has exceeded one million yen.

During a false alarm, another secret came in and said, "Your Excellency, someone exchanged one million yen for Tokyo Jin Bank." After saying that, the person felt that he had not made it clear, and he added, "Your Excellency, you are the gold king of China Wang Boyuan."

With the Japanese's meticulousness, every Chinese financial speculator has records in the province of Tibet, not to mention the famous gold king Wang Boyuan. According to the information, this person is from Ningbo, but strangely, he and Ningbo Shang Yu Qiaqing and others cannot get along at all. Before the European War, this person believed that China would use this to change the silver standard to the gold standard, so he speculated tens of millions to buy silver coupons. Unexpectedly, the silver price rose sharply and the gold price fell sharply. After that, the government said that he would not consider the gold standard. He almost went bankrupt and jumped off the building after the trap. However, a few years later, the Ministry of Revenue really changed from the silver standard to the gold standard as he guessed, which caused a life and death to make nearly tens of millions.

After this battle, Wang Boyuan was called the King of Gold because of his vicious eyes. Now he is leading the gold run, and perhaps the speculative forces in China will be affected. This is an incredible force.

With such concern, Torika Kumasato asked the secret, "Is he in Tokyo personally?"

"Yes, you, it's Wang Boyuan himself in Tokyo." The secret nodded. He heard that it was Wang Boyuan at that time, so he specifically asked about the situation. "Do you need to ask him to talk to you, Yours?"

Tubayashi asked if Wang Boyuan himself was actually trying to invite him to talk to him, but he was the president of Japan Bank, so he was a little worried. He immediately looked at Inoue Junnosuke and asked what he meant. However, Inoue Junnosuke, who had just been falsely alarmed, was not as nervous as Toshibayashi. He smiled easily and said: "The Shanghai Stock Exchange will open in six days, and Wang Boyuan will be very open in Shanghai. It is said that when this person was speculating on Silver, Shanghai Mayor Yu Shizhe persuaded him as a fellow villager, but it was useless. Let him go. As long as it is not the Zhang family in Shanghai, we don't have to worry too much."

"Hay." Inoue Junnosuke waved his hand, and all the secrets went down. Inoue Junnosuke said again: "Wang Boyuan can only represent some retail investors. I think his move is just to test whether the Jin lifted the ban is really implemented, which is the attitude."

Inoue Junnosuke was puzzled by Wang Boyuan who ran to Tokyo to speculate in the New Year, while Wang Boyuan, who was in the VIP room of Yokohama Masaki Bank, looked at the bank staff's coded gold bars in front of him and laughed. Qin Runqing, the leader of Shanghai money industry, who was pulled by him, still complained: "If you don't have New Year, I will bring me to Japan to exchange gold, and my brain is broken."

"Why did my brain break? The Japanese give us money during the Chinese New Year, how could they not come?" Wang Boyuan didn't care about Qin Runqing's complaints, and he didn't tell him the whole story of the matter. Qin was a representative of the Shanghai money house industry who opposed the abolition of the two countries and the redeemergence of the two countries. He hated those people in the Revival Association so much that they were careless and did not take the complaints into consideration.

"Will the market be changed in Shanghai when the eighth day of the lunar month open? I have to go to Japan from a long distance." Qin Runqing muttered, while directing his men to put away the counted 75 kilograms of gold and send it to the armored car outside. "Will you go tomorrow?"

"If you don't go tomorrow, I will pay another million tomorrow." Wang Boyuan still laughed, not caring about the surprise of the Japanese around him.

"When will I go?" Qin Runqing looked at him and felt even more inexplicable. However, he was in the bank and asked a lot of questions. He just waited to get into the car quickly, and then said, "I'll come to pay for it tomorrow?"

"Of course we will come to pay tomorrow. We brought six million yen this time. How can we go if we don't finish the deal?" Wang Boyuan, who entered the rear compartment of the car.

"We are going to offend the Japanese." Qin Runqing was a little more mature after all, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried in her eyes.

"Don't be afraid of offending the Japanese, just don't offend King Zhang." Wang Boyuan said softly, almost causing Qin Runqing to hit the roof of the car. His expression changed a few times, his eyes turned even more, and finally he came forward and said, "Zhang Xingjian wants us to take the lead in destroying the yen?"

"Of course not. King Zhang just wants us to try the waters and see the Japanese reaction." Wang Boyuan avoided Qin Runqing, who was full of smoke, and corrected: "Anyway, anyone can offend him, but he can't offend Zhang Xingjian."

Wang Boyuan reported Zhang Kun's name and Qin Runqing immediately stopped complaining. He began to think about how Zhang Tianwang would mess with Japan. Before the announcement of the ban on gold in the Tripitaka Province of Japan, major Japanese newspapers published news that the government had 100 million pounds of bonds in the British and French bond market. I don't know who the Japanese bribed. The annual interest rate of the ten-year bond was surprisingly low, only four cents, but even so, it was still snatched more than 30 million pounds as soon as it was listed. With so many pounds to protect the market, it was obviously impossible to run the yen. (To be continued.)
