Chapter 906 I am managing finances for the country
This Chen Junyan is an expert in issuing government bonds. He is very good at issuing things like revival bonds and construction bonds.
The reason why he asked about currency exchange was simply to take the opportunity to make money.
For example, he issued 100 million yuan of public bonds, which were subscribed with Central Bank bonds. By opening up various links, he exchanged the Central Bank bonds into Japanese yen or even US dollars, and then pushed the Central Bank bonds to depreciate and exchanged them back from the private market.
Through the official market, 100 million government bonds were exchanged for 2 million yen, but in the end, he only spent 100,000 yen to buy back the 100 million central bank bonds on the black market, and the remaining 1.9 million went into private pockets.
He could even cooperate with the Japanese troops and official consortiums, for example, let the North China Transportation Corporation pay 2 million yen to buy government bonds, but record them as Central Reserve Bank notes, use the official exchange rate when recording, and directly divide the difference.
The profit margin here is even greater than robbing money.
But Lin Ze would never let him do such a thing in North China. If Lin Ze wanted to participate in this, he would definitely get the biggest share and make a fortune, but this would be killing the chicken to get the eggs. It is estimated that after issuing a few public bonds, the people's floating wealth would be plundered, and the economy would enter a vicious circle again. By then, all industries would be in decline, and people would be unable to make a living. The governance results that Lin Ze had achieved in Tianjin with so much effort would also be reduced to nothing.
Thinking of this, Lin Ze couldn't help but get very angry.
Damn it, even though Chen Junyan wasn’t targeting him, if he really succeeded in doing this, it would shake Lin Ze’s foundation in Tianjin!
The fact that Lin Ze could hold such a status in Tianjin was certainly related to the support of Zheng Xiaji and the Eight Great Families, but more importantly, the common people had received tangible benefits. If anyone dared to touch Lin Ze, the common people would probably risk their lives to protect him.
If this foundation is lost, then what’s the point!
"Call Wang Zhulin over. I have something to tell him. Also, call Miyamoto and ask him to come over."
Just as Niu Saner was about to do it, he heard the street getting busy.
Countless newspaper boys came out in droves.
"Extra! Extra! Germany declares war on Big Brother North!"
"Extra! Extra! Germany has surrounded several Northern Big Brother strongholds and is said to have destroyed over a thousand aircraft!"
Lin Ze took a deep breath. Before his butterfly wings could flap to Europe, the Germans took action as expected.
Five minutes later, Dominic rushed into the gendarmerie headquarters. He didn't even wait for the notification and was about to force his way in. If Niu Saner hadn't arrived in time, the gendarmerie on guard would have almost shot him.
Dominic's face flushed red, and his lips trembled as he said to Lin Ze, "Master Lin, the fighting has begun, Germany, the fighting has begun, you are truly amazing! Master Lin!"
"Congratulations, Lao Duo, you're going to make a big splash in the Intelligence Bureau this time."
Niu Saner brought a glass of brandy, and Dominic drank it in one gulp. His mood finally calmed down. "We reported this to Big Brother North, but they claimed they had received similar information through other channels. However, the Supreme Commander disagreed. They even concluded that Germany would never dare to take action within the two years after the treaty was signed. They are now completely embarrassed. The Director was very happy. The Supreme Commander met with him that night and asked the Intelligence Bureau to concentrate all its efforts to find out about this battle."
After saying that, Dominic looked at Lin Ze expectantly.
What that means is: Sir, as long as you have information, just name a price!
Lin Ze gestured for him to sit down first. "If there is any new situation, I will inform you as soon as possible. Lao Duo, you can rest assured that I will only cooperate with the American Intelligence Agency through you. If the agency sends someone else to contact me, they will not get any information from me."
Dominic finally felt relieved when he got here.
This intelligence made the Intelligence Bureau fully aware of the importance of the Far East Department, fully aware of Dominic's intelligence capabilities, and even more fully aware of the importance of Colonel Lin.
They have adjusted the content of their cooperation with Lin Ze to the highest level of confidentiality. Apart from the specific person in charge, only the director and the commander-in-chief are qualified to know the specific details of the intelligence cooperation.
What Dominic was afraid of was that someone would come and take advantage of him. If the director sent a direct subordinate to connect with Lin Ze, then the endless credit would be gone from him.
After receiving Lin Ze's assurance, Dominic said seriously, "Master Lin, I swear to God that I will be loyal to you and will never harm any of your interests, no matter what the circumstances."
Of course, this kind of talk is just for show. Loyalty is not something that can be expressed by words, but by the binding of interests. Lin Ze is confident that he can tie Dominic down, at least in the next few years.
"I think you should provide the Northern Big Brother with all the support you can. This will help increase your prestige and establish your position as the leader of the alliance."
Dominic asked, "My superiors want me to confirm more information. Do you think Big Brother North can hold out this time? The Germans have deployed millions of men, and their offensive is fierce, even advancing hundreds of kilometers in a single day. If Big Brother North's main force is surrounded and annihilated on the Western Front, will they retreat all the way to the East to continue their resistance?"
Lin Ze shook his head. "I can tell you responsibly that the Northern Big Brother will not be defeated. Although their equipment is outdated and their command is dysfunctional, we need to give them some time. No matter what, they will hold on. It may be tragic at first, but as time goes by, victory will be on their side."
The two chatted for a while longer, and then Dominic said goodbye.
As soon as he was sent away, Okamura called, not for anything else, just to complain. With Okamura's personality, he would just keep things in his heart to himself and would not easily confide in even his adjutant. But after the two of them had been together in Yuancheng for a month or so, Okamura developed a habit of wanting to chat with Lin Ze whether he had something to do or not. For this reason, he even thought of transferring Lin Ze back to Peking.
"Lin Sang, the Germans simply don't take us seriously. It's ridiculous. Some people in the headquarters still tie the future of the empire to Germany. Now looking at their style of doing things, how can they be trusted?"
The anger of the Japanese high-ranking officials is understandable. When the Japanese wanted to carry out the plan of advancing north, they even fought a small-scale battle tentatively. As a result, the Germans turned around and signed a non-aggression treaty with the big brother in the north, which sold out the Japanese completely.
Later, the Japanese turned their attention to Southeast Asia, which was also related to Germany's attitude.
As a result, Germany has suddenly declared war on the big brother in the north without declaring war, which makes the Japanese feel like they are being fooled. If they had known this would happen, wouldn’t it be better for us to attack from both the east and west fronts?
Now that combat preparations in Southeast Asia have begun, the arrow is on the string and must be shot. It is too late to turn back.
I wonder how many devils are as furious as Okamura today.
Lin Ze used his emotional value to the fullest, scolding the Germans for a long time, and even deliberately said: "Don't worry, General, there are many German companies in Tianjin. I will find a way to teach them a lesson and make their business unable to continue."
Okamura then became cheerful. "You, you, what does this have to do with the German Trading Company? I think you are just trying to make money again."
"My money is the Admiral's money, and the Admiral is the backbone of the Empire and the mainstay of the Imperial Army, so I am managing the country's finances."
Okamura laughed so hard that he even cried.
Every time I chat with Lin Sang, I feel really good!
