Lost and Spy

Chapter 1568 Three Passbooks
It's winter now, who will use an electric fan when they are full in this season?

So there will be more or less dust on the ceiling fan.

However, on the ceiling fan blades above the head, if you look closely, there are a few places that are clean.

Out of place with the surrounding.

why?
Because someone will move the ceiling fan from time to time.

The secret, is in the ceiling fan.

Meng Shaoyuan stood on a stool, and stretched out his hand to touch the back a few times.

Behind one of the leaves, he felt something.

still stuck.

Meng Shaoyuan took it off carefully.

That is an envelope.

Open the envelope and inside is a certificate of deposit.

HSBC bank deposit 360 million US dollars.

If exchanged according to 20 years ago, an ounce of silver is exchanged for about 0.66 to 0.7 US dollars.

300 million taels, close to 530 million ounces!

Then, here is the price of 300 million taels of silver!

360 Thirty thousand dollars!
Not to mention that in this era, it is a huge sum of money in any era!
Can't tell, Li Mingda, this bastard, is already rich!
The first deposit was found.

Meng Shaoyuan walked out of the study.

Second clue:
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mingda would go to the yard to take care of his own flowers and plants, and he would do it for an hour.

There are many flowers and plants in the yard.

Meng Shaoyuan stood there, watching each pot carefully.

His eyes fell on a pot of cactus.

The flower pot is very large, with a small cactus planted in it.

It looked a little abrupt.

And most importantly, for a plant like cactus, the more you treat it badly, the better it will grow.

Meng Shaoyuan walked over.

It can be seen that the soil has been turned over.

Meng Shaoyuan used the simplest and crudest method:

He directly smashed the flower pot!

Then, from the dirt, he found the second envelope.

Inside the envelope, a second check appeared:

The Bank of France deposits 360 million US dollars!
Thank you, Li Mingda!
Meng Shaoyuan thought with a smile.

Now, it's the turn of the third clue:
After the meal, Li Mingda will take the initiative to take on the task of washing the dishes, and let Bai Cuishan drink tea and rest.

Who can believe that Li Mingda is such a diligent man who loves women so much?
I believe you I am a pig!

Why the rush to do the dishes?

The secret is in the cupboard!

Meng Shaoyuan didn't bother to look for it at all, he still used simple and rude methods:

Smashed the cupboard!

However, nothing was found.

Could it be that his judgment was wrong?
Meng Shaoyuan was not in a hurry.

He picked up the chopstick holder on the ground and dumped the chopsticks inside.

After just one glance, Meng Shaoyuan laughed.

The chopsticks are thick.

There is only one reason for making it so thick:
There is a mezzanine inside!
Meng Shaoyuan found the third deposit:
Citibank deposits $490 million!

One million taels of silver!

Li Mingda converted all the silver into US dollars and stored them in three banks respectively!
Before he died, he originally wanted to use one of the checks in exchange for his own life.

However, he didn't even have a chance to speak.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't need him to speak.

The 1000 million taels of silver, more than 200 million US dollars, are all his.

Damn, this time I really made an unexpected fortune!
More than 200 million US dollars!

How much can you do?

Meng Shaoyuan was delighted.

So, when he went out and saw Bai Cuishan's frightened face, he said, "Don't worry, Li Mingda stole important documents. I'm here to find them. I won't hurt you."

"Thank you, thank you." Bai Cuishan said tremblingly.

"gone."

Meng Shaoyuan waved his hand and said.

This time I came here on a whim, and I also came back when I was excited.

The purse is bulging.

Meng Shaoyuan was also in a good mood, and waved his hand: "For the guards, each person will be paid an additional three months' salary."

Although Meng Shaoyuan is stingy, he is not stingy at all with his subordinates.

Everyone in the Shanghai District of the Military Control Bureau knows this.

"Three months?" Li Zhifeng blinked his eyes: "Sir, have you made a fortune?"

Li Zhifeng also knows me.

"Send it, send it." Young Master Meng smiled brightly: "I made a little fortune."

……

"How much is that?"

Back home, Wu Jingyi asked.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't say much, and took out three deposits.

Wu Jingyi looked a little dazed.

More than twelve million dollars?
Where did he get it?

"Take it out in batches."

Meng Shaoyuan specifically explained: "Set up two special accounts in Citibank or HSBC, one for depositing 1000 million U.S. dollars, earning interest, and the other for depositing 200 million U.S. dollars.

The 200 million US dollars was earmarked for special purposes, all of which were used to subsidize the military command in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.If there is a need for money, it will be issued immediately after verification. "

"understood."

Wu Jingyi received three deposits.

It is said that the Shanghai area has always been extremely rich. In the eyes of others, Shanghai is a financial center and a large area, so it is naturally rich.

Plus Dai Li's preference for Meng Shaoyuan?

Could this Shanghai area not be a rich man?

But who would know that the funds allocated by the headquarters to the Shanghai area are fixed every year, and will not increase especially because of his presence.

Since last year, the legal currency began to depreciate rapidly, and inflation was serious.

Previously, the value of the currency linked to the British pound was stable.

There is a currency index in the economy that can be used to briefly measure inflation. For example, if the currency index was 1937 in 1, the currency index in 1939 was 3.04.

It looked like prices had tripled, but it was war time and there was a reason for the price increases.But then everything changed.

In 1940, the national government issued more currency to make up for the fiscal shortfall.

There is an even more important reason.

In order to destroy China's rear economy, Japan forcibly exchanged the currency issued by Japan for legal currency in the Japanese-occupied area, and then used smuggled materials to cover the legal currency and sent it to Shanghai to exchange for the foreign exchange of the Nationalist government.

The national government received more than 1000 million pounds and 5000 million U.S. dollars in loans from the United Kingdom and the United States, but they were still not enough to support the exchange rate of the legal currency.

From 1940 onwards, unlimited foreign exchange transactions were cancelled, and the value of legal currency began to decline.

The speed was far beyond the national government's imagination.

A county government in a guerrilla area, with a monthly budget of 1 yuan, has begun to make ends meet.

Wages have not increased everywhere.

Shanghai is different.

It will issue additional salaries as the currency exchange rate changes.

All this depends on one person:

Meng Shaoyuan!
On the battlefield, bullets are essential.

And on the front line of zero and one, the waving checkbook is also very powerful.

Meng Shaoyuan's subordinates were willing to work for him, which also played a big role.

And this guy is very good at making money, you don't know that he can make a lot of money just by wandering around.

At the same time, his smuggling empire is also at full strength, continuously transfusing blood into the Shanghai area.

Now, he is in charge of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai at the same time, and the pressure on him has naturally multiplied.

But don't be afraid, the enemy has planes and tanks, and we have the omnipotent Young Master Meng!
