Fengxian Jiangshan

Indeed, as Wang Yongjiang said, it was precisely because the Japanese were sharpening their knives that Zhang Tinglan decided to use the Russian bonds to trick them. If the Japanese did not take the bait, the rubles would fall into the hands of the common people in Fengtian. After Russia collapsed, The unlucky ones are the people of Fengtian.

This incident actually happened in history. During the First World War, Russia performed poorly and its currency depreciated sharply.Many Chinese investors have blind trust in Russia, thinking that even if such a big country loses a little, it can get out of it.Therefore, a lot of Russian rubles were absorbed at a low price. As a result, Russia experienced an earth-shaking change. All the rubles became blank paper, and investors wanted to cry without tears. It seems that Lao Zhang lost a lot in this speculation. .

It can be said that Russia’s currency and bonds are a time bomb. Zhang Tinglan can’t wait to fill the hands of the Japanese with these things. Miki has already bought 800 million yen in bonds. The problem is that Japan only vomits blood.

After intensive preparations, Zhang Tinglan finally cleaned up the official bank, and the newly established industrial group also formed a management team to officially take over the Fengtian official bank.At the same time, a statement was issued to open the exchange business according to the agreed date, with a [-]% discount, that is, ten yuan can only be regarded as nine yuan.

However, this discount is still reasonable. Compared with the previous currency fluctuations, it can keep [-]% of the value, and many people have already burnt it.Everyone is eagerly looking forward to the redemption date approaching. Of course, quite a few people have already exchanged the coupons in their hands. Some people regret that they have lost money in the exchange, and some people do not believe that the official bank can exchange with [-]% off.

The 20 days passed in a flash, and the day of the official exchange finally arrived. The official bank opened three windows together, and soldiers with live ammunition stood guard outside to ensure safety.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the door opens to welcome customers. In fact, there has been a long queue outside the door. This queue is much more terrifying than the train station in later generations.

All men, women and children waited anxiously. This is their hard-earned money. Whether it can be exchanged as scheduled depends on today.Soon the first customer left the official bank holding Dayang with a happy face, and everyone finally relaxed a lot.

After rectification, the efficiency of the official bank account is very high, and the exchange speed is also very fast. As the successful exchangers left the official bank account with smiles, the common people finally regained a little confidence.

However, Zhang Tinglan, Wang Yongjiang and others did not relax at all. Now they are just some retail investors, with at most tens of dollars or hundreds of dollars in their hands, and the real big players have not yet appeared.

The first day passed like this, and the official bank account was exchanged for a total of 15 oceans. This amount of money can be fully afforded by the industrial group, but how to deal with those big accounts is the real trouble.

But there is no turning back when opening the bow. No matter what tricks the Japanese play, Zhang Tinglan can only accept the tricks. Of course, he will not be passively beaten, but actively start to arrange, it depends on who is more clever.

As a result, on the second day, the momentum was quite different. There was still a long line in front of the official bank account, but at around nine o'clock in the morning, a group of strutting Japanese wanderers appeared outside. It rushed directly to the front.

"Line up!" Soldiers from several independent brigades pointed their guns at these Japanese ronin unceremoniously.

These guys are used to domineering on the ground in China. Wherever they go, they don’t have the habit of lining up obediently, so they immediately widened their eyes: "Baga, how dare you stop the warriors of the empire, I will cut you down!" head!"

The leading ronin used his hands. At this time, Zhang Tinglan, who was sitting in the official bank, had noticed them a long time ago. With a wave of his hand, a dozen strong soldiers rushed out and surrounded these arrogant Japanese ronin. Zhang Tinglan Then he strode out.

"When you arrive at the official bank, you must abide by the rules. No one is an exception. No matter if they are Chinese or Japanese, all customers are equal. If anyone wants to make trouble, just ask these guns if they agree!"

Chapter 95 Counterfeit money

The exchange of Fengtian tickets is related to the well-being of the people of Fengtian. Zhang Tinglan has established regulations long ago. Retail investors with less than 1000 yuan can exchange at the window, and large accounts with more than 1000 yuan must go to a special manager's office to exchange.But no matter where you exchange, you must pay attention to the rules and line up honestly, no one is an exception.

Although the common people who came to exchange were impatient and wished to exchange into cash right away, they also had to admit that honestly queuing up was the fairest way. public outrage.

"Listen, there is no distinction between Chinese and Japanese here. There are only customers. If you exchange more than 1000 yuan, go to the manager's office. If you exchange less than [-] yuan, you should line up honestly. If you dare to do anything wrong again, you will be welcome!"

After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, the soldiers under his command had already surrounded the ronin, and pointed their guns directly at them, unceremoniously.Other armies might still be afraid of the Japanese, but the people under Zhang Tinglan had already fought against Colonel Nishimura, and after passing the test, their mental state was naturally very different, and they were not afraid of these ronin at all.

These ronin were usually bluffing and supercilious, but when they saw that they were playing for real, they were also a little scared, but they were still unwilling to queue up, so they froze.

"All Japanese friends, don't worry, the villain is willing to help you exchange!"

While talking, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes came over laughingly, carrying a big leather bag in his hand. As soon as this guy came over, he nodded and bowed at a few Japanese ronin, looking like a full-fledged slave.Zhang Tinglan didn't know this guy, but Liu Shucheng and others were very familiar with him.

This guy is Liu Mingqi, the general manager of the Industrial Bank. Although his banner also has the word "Industrial", it has nothing to do with Zhang Tinglan's Industrial Company. It can only be regarded as a coincidence.Liu Mingqi is also a well-known person in the Fengtian business circle. He won the support of the Japanese a few years ago and established the Industrial Bank.

In all the incidents of offering votes, apart from the Japanese leading, Liu Mingqi also followed suit, following the Japanese to pick up leftovers.This guy popped up again today, and it seems that he is going to act as the vanguard of the Japanese again, helping to run on the official bank. When will Liu Mingqi, who eats foreign food, be unwelcome, especially at this time Jumping out is even more contemptuous.

Liu Mingqi and a few ronin nodded and bowed their heads, but they looked at Zhang Tinglan and the others with a haughty look, and their faces were full of mockery.

"The official bank has long promised to exchange for everyone, but when the guests came, you held guns and stopped them outside. Isn't this a guilty conscience! If you have sufficient funds, do you still need such villainous means? How disgraceful!"

"Decent? Manager Liu really knows how to beat him up. It's obvious that your masters have no rules and don't even understand queuing. How come you say that we are disrespectful." Liu Shucheng said sarcastically: " Ladies and gentlemen, do you see that if you want to raise a dog, you should raise a manager like Liu, in order to protect the Lord, you can turn black and white!"

Liu Shucheng is usually a very gentle person, but he is so rude to Liu Mingqi. There is also a reason. These years, Liu Mingqi has been a servant of the Japanese. People's most loyal thugs in the financial field.

It can be said that every penny Liu Mingqi earns carries the blood and tears of Fengtian merchants. Liu Shucheng has many old friends whose families were ruined by Liu Mingqi. kill him.

The common people have a book in their hearts, and everyone looks down on Liu Mingqi, a bastard who works for tigers, so they laugh loudly.Liu Mingqi was usually a dog, but when he was scolded in public, he immediately became angry.

"How dare you speak out to hurt people, I will not let you go." Then he shouted angrily to the common people who came to exchange: "You bastards, I haven't understood yet, the official bank is out of money, exchange money!" He treated Liu like this without paying for it..."

He wanted to continue talking, but he felt a chill in his head, and a pistol was pointed at him. Immediately, Liu Mingqi's legs went limp, and he almost fell to the ground. He stuttered and said, "What do you want to do?"

"If you want to exchange, be honest, if you want to make trouble, be careful with your head!"

Faced with the threat of gunpoint, Liu Mingqi finally calmed down, but this guy was still not reconciled, and said loudly: "I brought 50 vouchers this time. If the official bank account is not capable, just tell me next, and I will not embarrass you." Yes. In addition, the old and young masters will also prove to me that if something happens to Liu, it will be their fault!"

Liu Mingqi's yelling was also forcing the official bank to exchange it for him. Zhang Tinglan knew that he would not care about his little tricks, and directly brought Liu Mingqi into the manager's room, and the two sat down.

Liu Mingqi directly opened the leather bag, and the inside was neatly stacked, with a total of 50 tickets. Liu Mingqi said with a smile: "It stands to reason that we shouldn't exchange so many at one time, but brothers are too tight, and I heard that the official bank is strong. , I don’t care about this little money at all, please hurry up, exchange it for me, and wait for it to be used urgently.”

"It's really not much, it's only 50." Zhang Tinglan greeted two staff members casually, and counted the money, not only to check the amount clearly, but also to see if there were any counterfeit money.

Liu Mingqi's money was originally stored in the Industrial Bank, and it was not acquired recently, so he checked it and found that there was no problem.

Zhang Tinglan said blankly: "Manager Liu, what do you want to exchange for?"

"Anything is fine, as long as it's worth it!" Liu Mingqi said with a smile, "Mr. Liu believes in everything except not believing in votes."

"British pounds, rubles, oceans, and Russian bank bonds, choose one. Of course, I suggest that you exchange them for oceans, this thing is practical!"

According to the regulations, there is a 5% discount for exchanging the coupons into oceans or silver. If it is exchanged into other currencies or equivalent bonds, it will be exchanged at full value. When Liu Mingqi heard Zhang Tinglan suggest that he exchange oceans, he only thought that he wanted less money. How could Liu Mingqi be willing to give him [-] yuan?

He immediately said: "Liu is not those mud legs. The ocean is heavy and inconvenient at all. In fact, the best is the Japanese gold ticket. The Japanese people are advanced and powerful, and the tickets are also valuable. Who told you not to have a good relationship with Dongyang?" We can get along with each other, but now we can’t get the support of the Japanese!”

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and say what you want to exchange, I don't have time to accompany you!"

Liu Mingqi stared at Zhang Tinglan, and he calmed down. It was more important to get down to business. He thought for a while, and then said, "I want to look at the Russian bonds first!"

Upon hearing his choice, Zhang Tinglan's heart burst into joy. In fact, what he was most worried about was that Liu Mingqi wanted to exchange Dayang. Half of the money was exchanged by Liu Mingqi, and the next exchange was really troublesome.

It is best to choose bank notes. There are as many of these things as you want, and they will kill you for more than your life.In fact, Liu Mingqi also has his own plans. A few days ago, he heard that the Japanese Miki bought 800 million yen in Russian bonds. Of course, Liu Mingqi doesn't know the story behind it, but this guy must be sure. If you accept it, it proves that this thing must be valuable.

Moreover, the interest rate of bank bonds is relatively high, and it is convenient to store, so he chose bank bonds without hesitation.Zhang Tinglan waved his hand and asked his subordinates to bring over the sample of the bond.

Liu Mingqi checked carefully and saw that it was the Slavic Bank bonds purchased by the Japanese. He recognized it at the time, but this guy also said very cunningly: "Although the bonds are good, they are a bit risky after all. I don't think they can be repaid at the original price. How about a [-]% discount?"

"Dreaming? The yield of this kind of bond is not below [-]%, and if we give you a [-]% discount, wouldn't we lose it!"

"Then let's get a [-]% discount. After all, it will take two years to expire!" Liu Mingqi asked again tentatively. In fact, in his heart, even if there is no discount, it is acceptable. Who knows that Zhang Tinglan nodded, and Liu Mingqi suddenly nodded. Overjoyed.

The 50 vouchers were quickly exchanged for more than 52 bank bonds, which suddenly increased by more than 2. Liu Mingqi was so happy that he left the official bank in a hurry.

"Young Master Zhang, the [-]% discount is definitely cheaper for this guy!" Liu Shucheng didn't know about the bond issue yet, so seeing Liu Mingqi taking advantage of it, he was a little bit reconciled.

"Old Liu, don't worry, you know me. What I hate the most are these bastards who have forgotten their ancestors. As long as the turmoil is over and we stand firm, I will deal with him immediately, and even his master will be in trouble." !"

Liu Mingqi was sent away smoothly, and the people in Fengtian were still shocked. The new official bank account is really powerful, and 50 yuan was exchanged at once without blinking an eyelid.

The common people queuing outside couldn't help but have some thoughts. Is there any need to queue up exhaustingly to exchange the coupons? Maybe the currency value will stabilize and restore the original value. Why give a [-]% discount, so there are some People dispersed one after another, but the line was still long.

At this moment, two more Japanese came. They were different from those ronin. They were dressed in western clothes and leather shoes. One asked for 30 yuan and the other 40 yuan. Zhang Tinglan immediately guessed them. Most of them were sent by Zhengjin Bank.
