Chapter 281 bomb warning
Li Shiqun was able to become the director of the agent headquarters not only because of the opportunities during the war, but also because of his outstanding abilities. Otherwise, he would not have been favored by the Mei agency and given full support. He has mastered the agent headquarters of thousands of agents and became a major overlord in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Banks are the main factor that blocks the issuance of China Reserve Coupons, especially the four banks of the Shancheng Government. With the support of the Military Control Commission, it will become a situation that will last forever with the Military Control Commission Shanghai District.
Li Shiqun chose the breakthrough point on the merchants in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. They have families and businesses and have no way to resist the direct threat of force. Although the place of business is in the concession, they can only choose to surrender to cooperation for the spies who come to the door. Who made the Shancheng government lose the Shanghai Stock Exchange?
There are four major department stores in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, namely Xianshi Department Store, Yong'an Department Store, Xinxin Department Store and Daxin Department Store, which have a great influence in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
For example, Xianshi Department Store, the mall comes with a restaurant, a hotel and a dance hall, and food, accommodation and shopping are integrated. The business is very prosperous, but if the spies at the agents' headquarters make trouble and affect the passenger flow, it will be a fatal key to the department store.
"I heard that the four major department stores have already negotiated with the agents headquarters and can use the central storage coupon to shop and spend. There are also notices posted at the door." Liu Nina said with a smile.
"I'm afraid I'm talking to the pistol! In my opinion, this is a solution to the symptoms but not the root cause. The China Reserve Coupons are not circulated on the market. The citizens still recognize the legal currency. No one goes to the China Reserve Bank to exchange China Reserve Coupons. Isn't this equivalent to covering up the bell?"
"According to the regulations of the Bank of China, the fiat currency and the China Reserve Coupon are exchanged in a one-to-one ratio, and the circulation of fiat currency is not prohibited, so I only earned a lot of face." Chen Mingxiang said with a lip silence.
"This is already good. Before the New Year, the four major department stores clearly refused to use China Storage Coupons. Now government agencies and the army are using China Storage Coupons to pay salaries, so that they can slowly circulate. I think it is a very good move!" Liu Nina said.
"You don't understand that the China Reserve Coupon is the financial support of the Jinling government, and also includes providing military expenditure to the Imperial Army. If it is limited to the payment of wages by government agencies and the use of military salaries, it is not circulated on the market. What is the difference between this and waste paper?"
"The problems are multifaceted. The Imperial Army holds a large amount of fiat currency in its hands to purchase supplies to serve the war, and is more for purchasing foreign exchange. The China Reserve Coupons cannot become a climate in a short period of time, so the Imperial Army does not allow the Jinling government to ban the circulation of fiat currency. This is one of them."
"The Concession and the Yama City government have an agreement to not use the China Storage Coupons within the public concession and the French concession. The Japanese government cannot now turn against these countries. You should know that the financial industry in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the Asian financial center city, is in the concession."
"Banks do not handle China Storage Coupons business, you cannot deposit money, or use it to exchange fiat currency, or foreign exchange. What is it not waste paper?"
"As you said, slowly, how many years will this slow down be? With such a long time, the situation will only get worse and worse. Look, don't watch the China Reserve Coupons, as long as the fiat currency is circulating, it will not be possible to become the mainstream currency." Chen Mingxiang said.
The Shancheng government's fiat currency is linked to foreign exchange, and there is no restriction on exchange, which gives the Japanese invaders the opportunity to use the fiat currency to exchange the Shancheng government's foreign exchange and support their own war. Last year alone, the Shancheng government lost 6.82 million pounds of foreign exchange.
The Shancheng government was obviously hungry and had to continue to invest valuable foreign exchange in the foreign exchange market in order to maintain the status of the fiat currency in the Shanghai market. Isn’t this a slap in the face and pretending to be fat!
On the evening of February 6, at the intersection of Nanjing Road and Zhejiang Road in the Concession, near Xianshi Department Store and Yong'an Department Store, a violent explosion suddenly sounded. This was the most prosperous area in the Concession, and there were many pedestrians at night. They were frightened by the noise and ran away. Fortunately, no one was injured.
"It's really too vain. This must be the intention of the Military Control Commission to intimidate the four major department stores and prevent the issuance of China Storage Coupons!" Li Shiqun was furious.
"Director, I also think it is the military commander's method. The Shanghai Stock Exchange District knew that we forced the four major department stores to agree to receive the China Storage Coupons, so he deliberately put bombs in the department store, threatening them not to collect the China Storage Coupons!" Wu Sibao also gritted his teeth.
He led people to do this. The Guard Corps directly found the home of the owners of the four major department stores. If they agreed, everything was easy to discuss. If they didn't agree, the Guard Corps would put bombs in the department store to see if anyone dared to go to the department store to consume.
"We cannot bring guns into the concession at the moment. We are a little restrained when dealing with the Military Control Commission. We must remove this layer of constraints, otherwise we will suffer a loss!" Yang Jie said.
There is a police station in the concession. According to the agreement, the agent headquarters cannot bring guns to the concession to "enforce the law". Although they carry guns every time, it is followed by Japanese military police, and the concession can only turn a blind eye.
However, the Japanese military police headquarters did not want to interfere in the matter of the China Reserve Coupon, so it could only be the secret agent headquarters to do it alone. In this way, once the guns were found in the police station, they would be arrested and the military police headquarters would have to come forward to take over the people, which was always a troublesome thing.
"What you said makes sense. We are in the open and in the dark, and we cannot even bring weapons. So we can just create a conflict, which will force the Police Department of the Concession Bureau to agree to this matter. Four Guarantees, you are responsible for this task, but you cannot come forward." Li Shiqun said.
"Wanmolin's family is looking for me again. Pan Sansheng from Zhaofeng General Association has also asked me, Director, what do you mean?" Wu Sibao asked.
Although Wan Molin was escorted to Jinling, what to do with him depends on Li Shiqun's intention. He was detained in the Nanjing District Prison at the secret agent headquarters.
"I'll let him go with 200,000 yuan. Just say this to Wanmolin's family. Now Fu Xiaoan's family is still complaining, and I want him to pay his life!" Li Shiqun said with a smile.
Boss Du has been trying to find a way to save Wan Molin. The number one confidant Xu Caicheng presided over this matter and even found Zhou Nihai.
However, Fu Xiaoan's family didn't know how to hear that, and believed that Wanmolin and Fu Xiaoan were related to the murder, so they filed a complaint with the Japanese Sendering Army General Command.
Fu Xiaoan was a loyal tyrant, and the Japanese army was also very angry that he was killed by the Military Control Commission. Since Wanmolin was related to this matter, the General Command of the Sender Army ordered that Wanmolin not be released.
This matter is not difficult to deal with. As long as Li Shiqun does work with Mei's agency, the secret service headquarters will "prove" that Wan Molin does not involve this matter, and he will let it go if he says he will.
