The first thousand one hundred and forty-seven chapters are abnormal
Ning Zhiheng was very excited about this. The sculptor responsible for the China Banking Coin engraving steel plate also came to Shanghai. This was really a surprise. It was really a wish!
As long as people come to Shanghai, it is difficult to escape from his palms. People have weaknesses and weaknesses. As long as they use some thoughts and use both soft and hard, they are not afraid that these two people will not submit. After a moment of thinking in his mind, he already has some preliminary plans.
He then asked: "Where are these equipment and personnel at present? Go to Nanjing or stay in Shanghai?"
He Siming replied: "It is still in Shanghai, and it is placed in the exclusive printing factory of Shanghai Masaki Bank, which is also the factory where the Japanese military used to print military tickets. According to Taro Sagawa, the printing of China Reserve Coin will be completed here."
Ning Zhiheng nodded. Although Nanjing is currently the political center of the Japanese military and pseudo-government, if it is to engage in economics and open banks to issue banknotes, the first choice must be Shanghai. After all, this is the financial center of the Far East. It has a developed economy and a large population. Banks from all over the world gather here.
In particular, Zhengjin Bank was an early foreign exchange specialist bank in Japan. At the end of the last century, it had already opened its headquarters in Shanghai. Since then, with Shanghai as the center, it has successively established branches in various parts of China, from Shenyang, Changchun, Harbin to Beijing, Tianjin, Qingdao to Hankou in the west, and Guangzhou in the south. It can be said that Zhengjin Bank’s financial expansion has reached the entire territory of China.
After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, as the largest international bank in the Far East, the Japanese government cooperated with the Japanese invaders to control the finance of the occupied areas, destroyed China's national industry and financial industry, and used a large amount of funds to support the Japanese-controlled industrial and mining enterprises, develop resources, and purchase supplies to achieve the goal of "fighting for war".
In terms of currency, the circulation of military tickets, coalition tickets, Mongolian tickets, and reserve tickets was promoted, and the Japanese exchange market was exclusively occupied, becoming the main financial institution for the Japanese to conduct economic invasion of China.
To put it bluntly, the Central Reserve Bank that the pseudo-government is about to establish is just a wallet bank under the control of Japan's Praise Bank. It can be judged that the future financial activities of the Nanjing Central Reserve Bank will be mainly carried out in Shanghai, so the printing and issuance of China Reserve Coins will also be completed in Shanghai.
Ning Zhiheng smiled slightly and said, "Very good. If I really go to Nanjing, I will have to spend more time. Your news is too timely, and it can be considered a big problem for me. Do you know? At present, there are big problems with our intelligence department funds, and we urgently need to explore new sources of financial resources to supplement funds. Before you came, I was worried about this!"
He Siming couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. He knew very well that the Fujiwara Society in Ning Zhiheng controlled most of the smuggling businesses in East China and Central China with one hand. He had an incalculable amount of profit every year. It was not an exaggeration to call it a sea of gold and silver, but now he was worried about the funds, which was really surprising.
Ning Zhiheng looked at He Siming's expression and knew what he was thinking, he briefly described the current situation of the Intelligence Department and finally said: "Myanmar's material transportation lines are about to be restricted, and the burden on us will be heavy. In the future, the focus of our Intelligence Department will be on the expansion of economic sources and ensuring material transportation. We will do our best to deliver blood as much as possible for the overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japan. You must also do everything possible to contact these Japanese financial people, especially those who work in key positions."
He Siming nodded. What he is best at is making good friends and making friends. It is not difficult to do this.
Ning Zhiheng then asked, "Did you see those counterfeit legal currency notes?"
He Siming nodded and replied, "I saw it. I checked it for a long time. It was exactly the same as the real one. Even Taro Sagawa did not find any flaws. Moreover, the Japanese made it a special. It can be said that the batch of counterfeit money was put on the market, which was enough to make the real ones!"
Ning Zhiheng thought for a while and said, "Can you get a few samples? Ordinary people can't see the tricks. I'll go to some experts to take a look. As long as you can find the characteristics that are inconsistent with the legal currency and spread the defects of counterfeit banknotes, you can also slightly curb the degree of spreading."
"Yes, I will find a way to bring out a few counterfeit banknotes of these two denominations, which is not difficult!" He Siming nodded and took the order.
Time flies very quickly, and a few days have passed. In the past few days, the atmosphere at the Agent Headquarters of No. 76 has become quite tense. After Li Zhiqun returned to Shanghai, he conducted a lot of investigations and adjustments on the internal area of No. 76.
In the agency, the director of the Second Department, who has been hanging around for so far, finally got a conclusion. Li Zhiqun promoted Mi Zijin, the former intelligence department chief of the Second Department, to the position of director.
Fu Hengwen, director of the confidentiality department, was dismissed from office and investigated and imprisoned in the jail of No. 76. The people in the interrogation department knew that this was Li Zhiqun's family affairs, so they were considered as taking care of him. However, when he could be released, it depends on his wife and sister Li Zhiqun's attitude.
The focus of the rectification was in the western Shanghai area. Wu Shicai, who was responsible for the gambling and drug business in western Shanghai, was arrested, and several of his confidants were also detained. Li Zhiqun personally presided over the interrogation work and investigated the whereabouts of the funds.
On the day when Wu Shicai was detained, Li Zhiqun's master's wife Chen Jinbao came to the door in person to plead for Wu Shicai. Wu Shicai's wife She Aizhen even cried and made a fuss. Finally, she even rolled in Li Zhiqun's office, and she was almost hanging. After a while, Li Zhiqun was extremely embarrassed, but due to Chen Jinbao, it was difficult to argue with her goddaughter.
Li Zhiqun was in a down-and-out and fell into trouble and was able to escape. Li Yunqing was very good at treating him. Later, he returned to Shanghai and relied on the strong support of Li Yunqing and Chen Jinbao to establish the No. 76 Agent Headquarters in a very short time. So far, all the operational forces of the Agent Headquarters are mainly composed of disciples such as Li Yunqing. It can be said that Chen Jinbao has a high prestige among these disciples. She came forward to plead for Wu Shicai, so Li Zhiqun had to consider more.
Moreover, Chen Jinbao is much stronger than Li Yunqing. He always talks about the same thing in the hall and never allows others to question it. If Li Zhiqun really refutes her face, if both sides have a quarrel, Li Zhiqun will not be able to lose the benefits.
Under such circumstances, Li Zhiqun finally decided to let Wu Shicai go. He and Chen Jinbao made an agreement that he would confirm whether Wu Shicai was lying. If the money was swallowed directly by Wu Shicai himself, then the nature would be bad. With Li Zhiqun's personality, he hated someone who betrayed him the most, and no one can give him any face. Even if Chen Jinbao's face is taken seriously, Wu Shicai must deal with it severely.
If you embezzle public funds to speculate in stocks and seek benefits from it, you can still make a fuss and spare Wu Shicai's life.
So Li Zhiqun first arrested some of Wu Shicai's subordinates and carefully investigated his recent activities. Of course, these subordinates did not dare to hide them and explained them clearly.
Only then did Li Zhiqun confirm that Wu Shicai was not so bold that he could directly swallow it, and then he spared Wu Shicai.
However, it is impossible for Wu Shicai to manage the financial power in the western Shanghai region. This person is too greedy for money and hand it over to him, and something will happen to the money sooner or later.
So Li Zhiqun quickly ordered to urgently transfer one of his confidants Yu Xinhong from Nanjing to take over all the business in the western Shanghai area and manage the finances of the agent headquarters.
As for Wu Shicai himself, Chen Jinbao promised to protect Wu Shicai and raise funds to fill this gap in the near future. In addition, Wu Shicai cried bitterly in Li Zhiqun and vowed to change his past. Li Zhiqun really couldn't find a replacement who had received support from the Qinggang Hall like Wu Shicai, so the position of captain of the operation brigade was not revoked, but he was asked to make meritorious service to observe the future.
This result disappointed Luo Xingchao, which was far from what he had expected before. According to what he thought before, Wu Shicai made such a big mistake this time, even if Li Zhiqun did not kill him, he would eventually isolate him from the top management of the secret agent headquarters. However, he still underestimated the status of the Shanghai Qing Gang in No. 76, and did not estimate that Chen Jinbao would spare no effort to protect Wu Shicai in such a way, and that Wu Shicai would escape the disaster.
However, it was not completely ineffective. At least Wu Shicai lost Li Zhiqun's full trust and lost the financial power in his hands. His status in the agent headquarters has dropped a lot, and he has no previous confidence, so he has less constraints on himself.
After dealing with these matters, Li Zhiqun took time to continue his previous investigation.
"What, when did this happen? Cha Yutang was missing? Why did he report it until now?"
In the office, Li Zhiqun pointed at Liu Jianzhi and scolded him sternly. He never expected that so many things happened to the agent headquarters during the period when he left Shanghai.
I was trapped by funds in Nanjing, but when I returned to Shanghai, I was hit by Wu Shicai's affairs and was overwhelmed. That's fine.
Now even Cha Yutang, who has been in charge of investigating the Shanghai Intelligence Department, a dignified Inspector Hua, the general general of the Public Concession, has disappeared so bizarrely, and the matter of tracing the Shanghai Intelligence Department will naturally be gone.
Liu Jianzhi was his confidant who was specially staying in Shanghai, and was responsible for detention and guarding Feng Sinian. At the same time, he inquired about the news from the concession. At this time, when he heard Liu Jianzhi's report, Li Zhiqun was really surprised. He keenly felt something was wrong.
When Liu Jianzhi heard Li Zhiqun's inquiry, he hurriedly said again: "It was seven days ago that he disappeared with him, and several of his subordinates. These people should have been attacked together. They just don't know the specific reason, but it is certain that Cha Yutang's disappearance is related to the top leaders of the public concession."
"The senior management of the public concession?" Li Zhiqun looked at Liu Jianzhi and suddenly realized in his heart. Isn't Phillips one of the senior management in the concession? Cha Yutang has been following and surveillance at Phillips. Has someone discovered it?
Liu Jianzhi then reported: "The major newspapers and newspapers in the concession are not allowed to report on the disappearance of Yutang. The day after the disappearance, the new Inspector Hua took office without knowing life and death. These things cannot be hidden from others, and must be related to the senior management."
Liu Jianzhi himself did not know about Cha Yutang and Li Zhiqun's cooperation. Li Zhiqun was cautious in doing things and kept a close eye on this matter, which was extremely confidential, so Liu Jianzhi was not aware of it.
