Chapter 851: The Flaw of the French Currency
Twenty minutes later, Director Yu came hurriedly with his bodyguards. How could he be left out of such a good thing?
As soon as he came in, he couldn't wait to ask:
"Have you counted everything? How many are there in this batch?"
Yan Ying took out a few counted banknotes and reported the situation to the director. Of course, Captain Xiao would also be present. The interests of their Fifth Department were also involved here, and he would not let the people from the Sixth Department take more than they deserved.
Otherwise, not only would the director not forgive him, but even the spit of his colleagues in the fifth department would drown him.
"Director, we haven't finished counting the French currency we found this time. I estimate there are over 800,000, but I feel something is a little strange."
Hearing this, Director Yu became a little anxious. There must be no problems with this unexpected money, otherwise it would affect his future plans.
That’s right, before the money even reached his pocket, our Director Yu had already figured out how to use it.
Their Operations Department 6 suffered heavy losses some time ago. If they want to recruit new staff, they will need a large sum of money. At least the monthly salary will be 50% higher than before.
However, these extra funds will not be allocated specifically by the No. 76 headquarters, and must be spent from the internal funds of Operations Department 6.
Although Operations Department 6 still has many gray industries and is often responsible for collecting various protection fees, the department's expenses are also high.
Hearing that he had made a fortune unexpectedly would definitely make Director Yu, the old fox, extremely nervous, fearing that this was just another dream and that he would be happy for nothing.
"Xiao Lin, please tell me quickly, what's going on? Is this currency counterfeit?"
"Director, it's not what you think. It's mainly because these fiat currencies are too new. To be honest, I've never seen money this new. It's like it was just printed."
"Forget it. I can't explain these things clearly at once. Director, you can figure it out for yourself."
After saying that, he took out a few French francs and handed them to Director Yu.
After Director Yu took it, he carefully checked it. He was quite familiar with things like legal tender. After all, it was the most widely circulated currency in China.
Even in Shanghai, the common people still accept it, which is much better than the counterfeit currency issued by traitors.
Especially in the past year, we have brought back a large amount of supplies from abroad. Although the lives of the people have not changed fundamentally, at least there is still a certain amount of food in the rice jar, so the majority of the people do not have to go hungry every day, and incidents of people starving to death have rarely occurred.
This is also thanks to the large amount of high-quality protein that was shipped back, allowing our people to eat more meat. The beef in America is very famous.
Kong Hao opened the second space gate on the Eagle Country side because he was attracted by two aspects: one was the advanced technology, and the other was the abundance of raw materials, especially soybeans, corn, wheat, and sugar, which were extremely cheap there, and you could often buy a ton for a few dollars.
How should I put it about soybeans? They are really a good thing for the Chinese people. Eating more water tofu, dried tofu, fried tofu, tofu dregs, and tofu puffs can help them eat less food, which can also reduce a lot of burdens on the people.
It is also a good idea to grind soybeans into powder. When people get up in the morning, they can make a cup for the whole family, and the whole family will have energy for the whole day.
Although the taste will be average without sugar, ordinary people don’t care about that. As long as their family can fill their stomachs, that’s enough.
In addition, soybeans and corn are excellent feed, which can be used to supply the major farms in the base area. This can provide the Chinese people with a large amount of meat, lower the price of meat on the market, and allow ordinary people to buy some fresh meat during festivals.
It was also because we brought back a lot of extra supplies that we were able to force down the prices in China. Not to mention in our base area, some prices have not only not risen, but are even slowly falling.
Moreover, the salaries in various industries in the base area are also continuously increasing. This is a red era. Everyone in the base area is working hard with a new attitude, making their due contribution to this troubled nation. Everything is for the prosperity of the country.
As one of the outward manifestations of the rapid development of industrialization, prices in other cities in the rear areas are relatively stable, and even if they rise, it will be extremely slow.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some unscrupulous businessmen still want to hoard goods and make a fortune from the national crisis as they did before.
However, a large part of daily necessities are provided by us. We have sufficient supplies and strong financial resources, and we can definitely teach those unscrupulous businessmen who are harming the country and the people a lesson that they will never forget.
As a large number of unscrupulous businessmen go bankrupt, the lives of ordinary people in the rear areas will get better and better. This is a positive and virtuous cycle.
Director Yu carefully checked the legal tender in his hand and said curiously, "Based on my years of experience, there's nothing wrong with these legal tenders. I think they should be genuine."
"If these fiat currencies are taken directly to the market, they can be used to purchase any goods."
"If you say this kind of money is fake, then 90% of the money on the market is fake. Wouldn't that be a complete mess?"
Director Yu still trusts Yan Ying. Although he is usually careless, he has never failed to deliver on his promises when it comes to big things, and he even saved his life.
"By the way, Captain Lin, please tell me about this."
To be honest, he didn't see anything wrong with these banknotes, but he couldn't let others know, so he could only find out from the side in various ways, so that he could report to his superiors after returning, and by the way, show off his extraordinary knowledge to other captains.
Yan Ying picked up a one-dollar bill, shook it, and then crumpled it before introducing it to everyone:
"The fact that fiat currency is relatively new isn't a big deal, it's just that the timing is a bit off. I have a relative who used to work in a bank and he mentioned this to me during a dinner party. That's when I realized it was incredibly strange."
"According to my relative, when the French currency was first issued and used, both the paper and the ink were the best in the world, and of the highest quality."
"But since the government moved to the mountain city, many basic raw materials have been unable to be imported from abroad, causing the quality of their newly issued legal tender to deteriorate."
"The quality of the batch we found this time is so good, almost the same as the first batch, which aroused my suspicion."
