Chapter 292.

When Cheng Mo reminded him of this, the deputy general manager was shocked and hurriedly ordered people to check the banknotes stored in the bank.

This check didn’t matter, quite a few counterfeit banknotes were really found.

However, they were all sporadic fake banknotes, not too different from what was found in front of them, so much so that it was rather the best case scenario.

But a large number of fake banknotes on the market, this is not a good thing, this will disrupt the market financial order, causing public panic, inflation.

There are many kinds of currencies in the Concession, there are many kinds of fiat currencies, and there are also silver dollars and copper horns in circulation, and there are many kinds of specifications for silver dollars, and some people are engaged in the exchange business, and anyway, the most common people use fiat currencies and silver dollars.

Gold bullion, this kind of high-grade goods, generally will not be used as a common transaction, the ordinary people’s homes will not have this thing.

French currency is the most used, followed by the pound and the yen, and the dollar, and as for Japanese military stamps, they are only used in the Japanese Concession, and are not used much in the Public Concession unless there is a place where they can be spent.

Other currencies were not absent, but the people were less likely to use them.

Still used on a large scale were the fiat currencies issued by the Central Bank and the Bank of Communications Act, and then there was the Agricultural Bank, which also had the right of issue.

The fiat currency issued by the three banks is different, but the value is the same, and the most used is still the currency issued by the Central Bank.

The companies that print the fiat currency for the Central Bank are the British Denaro, Waldorf, and American Banknote Companies, and the banknotes are printed, sent to China, and then stamped with the “Seal of the Governor” before they are put into circulation and used.

“Notify the other banks of this news, and tell them all to be on their guard, and to report the receipt of counterfeit banknotes at once.”

“Okay.” The Chinese banks in the Concession might be in competition in terms of business, but in terms of “counterfeit banknotes” they were all in the same boat.

Once a large-scale circulation of counterfeit banknotes is detected, they will notify each other at the first time. If they deliberately conceal the information, they will become the public enemy of the others, and they won’t notify you if something happens in the future, so who will be the one who suffers at that time?

Concealment will have more banks suffer losses, the ultimate loss is the credibility of the Chinese people themselves and the national government.

“This fake banknote, can I bring two back to study it?” Cheng Mo asked, “This is considered evidence.”

“Of course.” The bank’s vice president nodded his head in a hurry.

“In this case, you shouldn’t hold out too much hope, maybe the person who committed the crime isn’t even in the rented area, you have to be mentally prepared for this, and in the future, pay more attention when collecting money.” Cheng Mo said, “In addition, the identity and address of the person who deposited this money you give me, I may look for him to understand the situation.”

“Then I have such a big loss ……”

“Your bank to bear their own, the lawsuit you can not win, the money you received, the deposit back to the people, this money in your bank, if you have to say that this fake money is the existence of the people, do you think that people can recognize it?” Cheng Mo asked rhetorically.

“But this fake banknote is clearly ……” that vice president said on the mouth, but in the heart is to understand that the lawsuit, the bank is sure to lose, if you find out at the time of the deposit, then find out that there is no such thing, once the money is collected into the bank, this is not good to explain.

“If this person is using fake banknotes to set your real banknotes, then wait and see, if he himself does not know, then say again, there is no hurry, it is only a day or two.” Cheng Mo said.

“Then you still ask me to notify other banks?”

“You, you won’t say that a new type of counterfeit banknote has been found, just don’t tell them about ugly things like you guys, real in.” Cheng Mo was speechless for a while, on this brain, how to do on the vice president, it will not be a relationship in it.

The vice president was disliked by the face of embarrassment, he also really messed up, causing the bank to lose a large amount of money for nothing, which is certainly to be accountable.

The Japanese could counterfeit fake fiat currency, couldn’t he himself counterfeit yen? Yen paper and technology, he has studied, if you really want to build, as long as the equipment and raw materials are not short of words, should be able to build. The key is to make yen to do what? The Japanese invaders fake fiat currency is to disrupt the economy of the nationalized areas, scavenging supplies, pushing up prices, and implementing economic and financial warfare against China.

What can you do with fake yen? It could not go to Japan to scavenge for supplies and push up prices inside Japan. What was the point of that? The supplies scavenged could not be shipped back.

This problem will be considered later, he has nothing in hand now, want to make fake yen can not do.

It is still necessary to remind the people in the Nationalist Region and the old country that the struggle is all-encompassing, but not only on the military and political level, but also on the economic level, the struggle is also a matter of death and life and death.

The Japanese invaders were able to put pseudo French currency in the rented area on a trial basis, so they were able to put it in the Nationalist Area and the anti-Japanese bases, disrupting the local economy.

Cheng Mo sent Xu Qinghe out to check on the businessman who deposited money in the Shanghai Savings Bank to see what people he had dealings with.

This guy had no connection with the Japanese.

Within two days, Xu Qinghe found out that this businessman named Xie Xiaochu was a traitorous businessman who had a lot of business dealings with the Japanese.

In that case, this person received a large amount of fake fiat currency, either he was pitched by his Japanese masters or he knew that what he was holding was fake, he was cooperating with the Japanese to test whether the fake fiat currency they were making could be found to be fake.

“Chief, why don’t we bring the man back for interrogation and see where he got this fake fiat currency from?” Xu Qinghe gave a suggestion.

“This kind of person, what can you interrogate?” Cheng Mo asked rhetorically, “Only wait until the next time he goes to the bank to deposit money, that’s when the fake fiat currency will be discovered, then you can hold him.”

“You mean, catch the thief and take the stolen goods?”

“Of course, we have to catch the handle in our hands before we can deal with him, if we don’t have the handle and we arrest someone without evidence, then we will be sued for arresting innocent people indiscriminately, that will be enough for us to drink a pot of water.” Cheng Mo said, “Just pick two people from the secret service team to keep an eye on him, there’s no rush.”

“Understood.”

“What’s going on with Lin Shiqun lately?”

“Not much movement, he rarely goes out, go out is also very careful, vigilance is very high, anti-surveillance ability is also very strong, we do not dare to follow too close, once followed by the loss of no matter, anyway, he always want to go home.” Xu Qinghe said.

“Think of a way to get a secret safe house of ours on Daxi Road.” Cheng Mo instructed, “This will also make it easier for us to land and move in the future.”

“Yes.”

Not two days later, Xie Xiaochu acted again, but this time he didn’t go to the Shanghai Savings Bank, but to a private Jucheng Bank.

A box of brand new French currency, a whopping half a million dollars.

Such a big customer, but the general manager of the bank can be gathered sincere bank to be surprised, personally bring people to come over to receive.

Bank lending, the premise that you have to have money to do, no money, you can not loan out the money, polycheng bank backstage is to cooperate with the gambling stalls in Shanghai and West, loan sharks, of course, polycheng put out the interest rate is certainly not compared to the gambling stalls, but than the ordinary interest rate of the loan to be much higher, so he is the pool of money the more water, the more the natural lending of money out of the more money to earn more money.

Five hundred thousand dollars, he turned a loan out, at least can earn a hundred thousand, the guest’s interest is calculated in accordance with the annual interest rate, and loan sharks turnover rate is higher, so the five hundred thousand can earn how much, depending on how long the guest can be stored in him, the longer the longer the deposit, the more he earns.
