Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

At 6 o'clock in the evening, hundreds of foreign commercial banks gathered in the first floor lobby of Chinachem.

They all hold huge amounts of banknotes in their hands.

TA Cruises CEO Atlan stood on the stage and read out the rules.

Actually, there’s nothing much to read here, it can be explained in a few sentences!

"In order to protect the interests of both parties, the contract will take effect from the moment the money is fully exchanged between the two parties..."

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Atlan.

"Wait a minute!"

Atlan was not displeased by being interrupted, but instead smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

"What objection does Mr. Hagen have?"

"Of course I have objections. You just said that the contract period starts from the moment the money is fully settled between the two parties. If the cruise company deliberately delays, then we won't be able to get the banknotes back, right?"

Atlan thought for a moment and nodded.

"Mr. Hagen's point makes sense. So, let's stick with the contract signing date. Within ten minutes of signing, both parties must deliver the money and goods to each other. The counting and identification process will be conducted behind closed doors. If one party uses counterfeit money or the amount is insufficient, the contract will be automatically terminated. How do you do that?"

Only then did Hagen show a look of satisfaction!

"So good!"

After this little episode, Atlan read out the rules twice and the signing officially began!

The staff modified the contract quickly, in less than ten minutes.

However, no one was willing to sign first.

They are considering whether there are any risks involved.

In business activities, contracts are one thing, but actual execution is another!

Many times, when the other party fails to perform the contract, you can only suffer in silence.

Because the cost of litigation is too high!

This cost may be time cost, economic cost, or other potential costs.

Atlan was not in a hurry. He held a wine glass and walked among the guests.

He was in a very good mood because TA Cruise's profits were very strong. Even after deducting the costs, the profits in the past two days exceeded 2000 million. According to the 5% dividend promised by Hu Zhenhua, he could get at least 100 million by the end of the year.

What's more, this is just the profit of one company.

The 5% dividend promised by Hu Zhenhua is the profit of the entire TA Group!

At the same time, a banquet was also being held in the banquet hall on the third floor of the Chinachem Hotel, and the main guests were the wives of officials in Shanghai.

At first, Hu Zhenhua only invited the wives of the senior officials of the Bureau of Secrets. As a result, many ladies came uninvited at six o'clock.

The mayor’s wife, the deputy mayor’s wife, the director’s wife, and the wives of the garrison generals!

There are more than a hundred beautiful girls!

Hu Zhenhua didn't want to show up, but it was inappropriate not to show up. He could refuse to give face to others, but how could he refuse to give face to the wife of the director?

Wang Cuicui took Hu Zhenhua's arm and introduced him,

"Sir, this is Sister An Lan!"

Hu Zhenhua quickly kissed her hand cordially.

"Sister Anlan, you don't mind me calling you that, right?"

An Lan waved her handkerchief and giggled.

"Hey, just call me sister! Don't be so formal!"

Hu Zhenhua laughed heartily.

"Sister, next time my brother-in-law punishes me, you have to support me!"

An Lan smiled even more happily.

"He dares! If you've been wronged, come to me and I'll take care of it for you!"

"sure!"

Wang Cuicui introduced the next person to Hu Zhenhua.

"Sir, this is Sister Han Xue, Brother Qi's wife!"

Hu Zhenhua laughed heartily.

"It's such a headache. I call Brother Qi brother, but I call you sister. It feels weird!"

Upon hearing this, all the beautiful girls burst into laughter!

Lao Hu couldn't stand it anymore!

Next, it’s Assistant Wang’s wife and Stationmaster Wang’s wife!

There were so many women that Hu Zhenhua couldn't remember them all. Later on, he only had a vague impression.

After saying hello to everyone, Lao Hu ran away quickly.

Professional people do professional things.

To greet the wife, the wife has to come forward!

On the second-floor observation deck, Hu Zhenhua and Guo Dachong stood side by side.

"Brother Guo, where is Wang Mo? Isn't he the one who loves to be in the spotlight?"

"Died in a car accident!"

"What? When did it happen?"

Guo Dachong took a sip of his wine and said in a low voice,

"Just this morning, guys, be careful, Tang might be angry out of shame!"

When TA Corporation separated from TA Insurance, subsidiaries such as Future Aviation and TA Cruise were divested. Now, Future Aviation and TA Cruise are making huge profits.

How could someone with the surname Tang not be jealous?

Hu Zhenhua pondered for a moment and said,

"Once the banknote issue is settled, Lao Zhao, Bingzi, and you, Brother Guo, all go to Hong Kong. Oh, and take Cuicui with you."

Guo Da Chong took another sip of wine and asked,

"You? Don't leave!"

"I have other missions, and the bureau won't let me go. Don't worry, I'm safe!"

Hu Zhenhua suddenly saw something and smiled.

"Brother Guo, look, the first person has signed!"

Guo Da Chong took only one look and asked,

"Hua Zi, I don't quite understand your plan. If you agree to let them change back to the original price at 8 o'clock tomorrow, what are we going through all this trouble for?"

Hu Zhenhua did not explain, but said with a smile,

"Brother Guo, just wait and see! There's a reason why I set it to twelve hours."

The real reason is that tomorrow, the river defense will be completely breached, and then the Demon City will be even more panicked!

Hold the banknote in your hand, once it’s past eight o’clock, it will truly belong to TA’s company!

So, isn’t Hu Zhenhua afraid that the foreign company will really go bankrupt?

Of course I'm afraid!

However, Tongan still has 40 million ammunition. Once half of it flows into the major foreign companies, it can extend their lives for a few hours!

Why does half of it flow into banks? The answer lies in the 20% discount on exchange.

According to Hu Zhenhua's estimate, the amount of banknotes held by major commercial banks is about 200 million. If they are purchased at a 10% discount, it will cost 20 million!

So, why did it become 10% when it was clearly promised to be 20% off?

Just as it was 7 o'clock, a waiter suddenly came to Atlan and whispered something to him.

After hearing this, Atlan's face changed drastically. He quickly walked up to the podium, picked up the microphone and shouted,

"Gentlemen, our company previously promised to offer a 8% discount if the contract was signed before : AM. Now, we're adjusting it to a % discount. If you're interested in signing, please contact our staff!"

After saying that, he jumped off the podium and ran upstairs quickly!

The guests were confused when suddenly a white messenger ran in and shouted,

"Harry's company has gone bankrupt!"

There was an uproar in the banquet hall, and several white bosses were shouting and cursing Harry's Company.

It was obvious that they held banknotes from Harry & Co.

As the saying goes, when one dies, all debts are forgiven.

When the bank fails, the debt disappears.

In this era, there is no perfect legal protection, let alone deposit insurance.

"I'll sign it for 10% off!"

"I'll sign too!"

Never mind, just get through these 12 hours first!

The signing that had been ignored suddenly became noisy.

More than an hour later, Guo Dachong got the number and opened his mouth in shock!

2 billion!

"How could this happen?"

Hu Zhenhua smiled and pointed to the group of people on the first floor carrying the cash boxes and said,

"Brother Guo, look, some people are from trading companies, and some are from foreign companies!"

Guo Dachong still didn't understand and asked,

"What's the difference?"

"Of course it's different! Because the foreign companies are taking real money from us and taking it back to fill their holes!"

Guo Dachong finally understood!

Hu Zhenhua only said that he was exchanging money for a trading company, but he did not verify the company's identity, so the foreign company naturally took advantage of him.

Even if you verify it, it will be useless. Wouldn’t the foreign company entrust the real trading company to replace it?

Hu Zhenhua looked at the first floor and smiled.

"Anyone who takes the money away is from the foreign company, and anyone who stays here is from the business!"

Guo Dachong was a little confused again and asked,

"You obviously saw through it, why didn't you stop it?"

"I just want banknotes, why stop me?"

Guo Dachong looked at the surging crowd below who were still signing contracts, feeling worried.

"Huazi, if this continues, we're going to run out of cash."

Hu Zhenhua didn't care at all and said with a smile,

"If it's all gone, it's all gone. 10% off! It's a once-in-a-millennium wait!"

Hu Zhenhua pointed upstairs and said with a smile,

"Raising a few million dollars for Cuicui's banquet is no problem!"

"You're optimistic, but what if the foreign company goes bankrupt? We'll be in trouble!"

Hu Zhenhua punched Lao Guo on the shoulder.

"Brother Guo, haven't you looked at the withdrawal speed data of various foreign banks?"

"Is there any mystery?"

Hu Zhenhua rolled his eyes at him.

"Of course there are. Only after you look at this data can you know how much money each foreign bank will exchange within an hour, and how long they can last with their current reserves!"

Guo Dachong widened his eyes and shouted,

"I see! No wonder you're so confident!"

Lao Hu calculated silently in his mind again before continuing to speak.

"With the financial support we provide to the major foreign banks, plus their own reserves, they should be able to hold out until eight o'clock tomorrow. Even if some of them collapse, it won't be a big deal!"

"What about tomorrow after 8 o'clock?"

Hu Zhenhua looked towards the west, through the thick fog, his thoughts flew to the Daxiao Airport,

"Our first batch of airfare money should arrive tomorrow at 8 o'clock. If the foreign company still can't hold on, I will continue to give them blood transfusions!"

Guo Da Chong shook his head.

"How much money will this cost?"

Hu Zhenhua retracted his gaze and looked towards the direction of Huaqi Foreign Trade.

"I hope Morris can give me a surprise!"

At this time, Morris was at the US Consulate, reporting the "Central Bank" plan to Carter!

Carter obviously understood economics and saw the pros and cons of this plan at a glance.

The advantages are obvious, but the disadvantages are also very obvious, that is, it costs a lot of money.

According to Morris's estimate, at least 3 to 4 million euros will be needed to fill the huge hole in the Magic City.

Although the statistics of the major foreign banks showed 5 million oceans, that was obviously an embellished figure.

Carter put the report on the table and asked about something else.

"What's the status of the industrial zone plan?"

Morris's face was expressionless.

“No progress!”

"No progress?"

"Yes, I found a few Chinese businessmen. Not only did they make a lot of demands, but after the banknote incident, they simply ran away with the money! As a result, Huaqi lost over 100,000 yuan!"

Carter wanted to hit him to death with the lighter in his hand.

Hu Zhenhua is doing very well at Chongnan Wharf, but you have made no progress at all!

waste!

Morris did not feel ashamed at all, but said with a clear conscience,

"We at Huaqi are in the finance business, but different industries can be very different. Isn't Hu Zhenhua's industrial park doing quite well? Why don't I just partner with him? He'll handle the industry, and I'll handle the finance business. We'll complement each other perfectly!"

Carter resisted the urge to hit him and shouted,

"I bet you one yuan that you can't enter the Chongnan Wharf Industrial Zone!"

"Why?"

Carter certainly knew the reason, but he just didn't want to tell Morris.

The Friendship Store in Chongnan Wharf Industrial Zone targets customers from Jiangbei. If outsiders are allowed in, what if the secrets are leaked?

Carter waved his hand.

"I will report your plan immediately, but before that, you should find a way to raise some funds on your own."
