According to Ota Taiji, Shiozawa will continue to serve in the Greater East Asia Province after the revocation of the Koya Institute, and will be based in Peking for diplomatic and administrative affairs. This devil general is very valuable to Chen Mingxiang, so he plans to Establish a long-term cooperative relationship to protect your business in North China.

Shiozawa Qingxuan would naturally not refuse this risk-free benefit, because it did not involve military secrets, but he had not thought about it. During the contact, military secrets would leak out of his mouth.

"This is the material handling permit that I signed separately to the Beiping branch of Huatong Trading Company. All branches of the Liaison Department in North China will provide the greatest convenience to your business."

“Not only the goods listed in the control materials in North China can be transported to Central China unimpededly. Commodities in Central China can also be sold in the North China market."

"Presumably you also know that usually this kind of material handling permit is only for a batch of goods, but I have made a special mark for you and will file it at each branch. It is equivalent to a long-term qualification certificate, and there is no need to issue a permit at a time. Proof, that’s too much trouble."

"Presumably General Ota also told you that the Xingya Institute may have to be revoked at the end of the year. After the establishment of the Greater East Asia Province, you will find me to replace it with a new moving permit." Qingxuan Yanze said.

Since the two sides communicated very happily, the next step is the substantive transaction content. Yanze Qingxuan used his ministerial power to issue a cargo handling and movement permit for the North China Liaison Department of the Huatong Trading Company for the Beiping branch of the Huatong Trading Company.

This is an extremely rare special license. The concept of its scope is very vague. It indicates the various commodities that can be purchased and sold by the Beiping branch.

These include textiles and raw materials, food, daily necessities, stationery, consumer goods, hardware stores and industrial products, medicines and fuels.

With the authorization of the North China Liaison Department, Chen Mingxiang can not only purchase cotton, coal, salt and grain from the North China region, but also can continuously transport the Shanghai stock market commodities to the North China region for profit.

He owns silk and tea, and the industry and commerce of the Shanghai stock market are very strong in China. He sells daily necessities such as towels, toothpaste, matches, candles, soap, toothbrushes, pens, pencils, paper, dyes, etc. Consumer products such as cigarettes and photographic equipment are continuously shipped to North China for sale, which is also a large amount of income.

"Your Excellency, can you find a place to redeem part of the Union Bank voucher. The China Reserve voucher in my hand cannot be circulated in North China. The Beiping branch needs to rent real estate in various places, and the factory needs to purchase land for construction and payment. Salary, I also want to buy a few properties in Peking, all of which have to use Union Bank coupons." Chen Mingxiang said.

Union Bank Notes is a joint bank prepared by the pseudo-provisional government in North China. It is a paper currency issued because it was in circulation earlier. The ratio of Union Bank Notes to China Reserve Notes is 18 to 100. Actually, I know People in the inside know that this kind of banknotes is worse than the Zhongshu Voucher.

At least the Reserve Bank of the Wang Puppet Government, where Zhou Aohai is the president, and some gold, silver and foreign exchange reserves, as the basis for currency issuance, can be jointly prepared for banks, only 25 million worth of silver is used as the basis, and half is to plunder the Shancheng government The silver kept in the concession.

What's going on? Before the Shancheng government fell in North China, the bank kept a large amount of silver, which was used as a reserve for the issuance of legal currency. When North China fell, these silver dollars were sent to the concession for safekeeping and were not robbed by the Japanese. go.

There is a concept here. The Embassy Street in Beiping East *Jiao*Min* Lane is a bit reluctant to say that it is a concession, but it is a bit similar, with churches, hospitals, banks and other facilities.

However, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the concessions of Pingjin and Tianjin were occupied by Japanese troops. In addition to the 12.5 million yuan of silver taken away by the Joint Preparation Bank, there were also 1094 tons of silver saved, totaling 5,700. Ten Thousand Yuan Ocean was snatched by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army implemented the strategy of fighting to support the war. Union bank coupons are a means of plundering. First, it is exchanged for fiat currency at a ratio of one to one. The Zhengjin Bank transports the money to the Shanghai stock market, from the four major governments of the Shancheng government. Banks exchanged foreign currency, and after the Japanese army captured the concession, they went to the Kuomintang Control Area to purchase smuggled materials.

The four banks of Japan, Shokin, Korea, and Societe Generale use their own cashier’s checks, which are deposit receipts, which are recorded in the deposit account of the United Preparatory Bank, and they can withdraw a large number of Union Bank bonds and use them for Japanese merchants. Business or speculation.

The North China Dispatch Army Headquarters used the transfer order to freely use Union Bank coupons to pay for the Japanese army and the puppet army, as well as to grab purchases.

The most funny thing is that when the Puppet United Preparation Bank issued the banknotes, it was too late to prepare the silver version of the banknotes. It actually used the banknote printing steel plate left by the Qing Dynasty bank to modify the name and change the character image of the banknote to the Yellow Emperor. Portraits of Guan Yu, Yue Fei, Confucius and others were first issued in denominations of one yuan, five yuan, and ten yuan. This year, one hundred yuan denominations were issued.

Union bank voucher is a kind of banknotes that you want to print as many as you want. It is almost equal to waste paper. Not only are they printed in large numbers by the pseudo-regime in North China, but some units of the Japanese army are also printing. Others don’t know. Chen Mingxiang knows the inside story. He drinks at Zhou Tuohai’s house in Jinling. When I heard these shameless behaviors.

"This is too simple. You are now responsible for the coal shortage in the Shanghai stock market on behalf of the Xingya Institute. When I will have lunch, I will call in Wang Shijing, the president of the United Preparatory Bank, to the North China Liaison Department of Xingya Institute. In the name of, withdraw 10 million Union Bank bonds from the bank. As a subsidy to you, you may have to consider USD gold, but Union Bank bonds will not matter."

"As for real estate, the imperial army occupied Embassy Street. There are a lot of unused houses there. In addition, there are also many houses of British and American merchants. I will give you two sets. There is no need to spend money to buy them again. There is not much time in Peking." Yanze Qingxuan said with a smile.

The deal between Chen Mingxiang and Yanze Qingxuan seemed easy and frightening, but it had a prerequisite. For an individual, with 200,000 US dollars, he would definitely not get such treatment.

Other identities are not good enough. Whether it is the headquarters of the gendarmerie in Shanghai or the Shanghai Special Municipal Government, the North China Liaison Department will not buy it.

The reason is simple. The Japanese army and the Jinling government in Central China, the Japanese army in North China and the North China Political Affairs Committee, are fundamentally contradictory and each has its own calculations.

And why can Chen Mingxiang get the support of Yanze Qingxuan?

After all, he is now working for the Central China Liaison Department, with the goal of safeguarding Japan's interests in the Shanghai stock market, and Ota Taiji personally accompanies him to complete the procedures. This status is the most important.

Secondly, Chen Mingxiang's hand is big, and the shot is only 200,000 US dollars. In addition, there will be a monthly salary and share, and no more resources. That is really hell!
