Chapter 435 Embarrassed Again
At this time, Kenzo Yamamoto, who was in the Anyang Gendarmerie Headquarters, was enjoying the pleasure of bringing the base's economy to a standstill.
"Yoshi, I heard that the Tubalu and the Independent Column have announced that they will stop using Border Region Tickets. I want to see how long they can hold out! The day they can no longer hold out will be the day the Empire wins the economic war!"
Kenzo Yamamoto looked at the mountains of supplies in the gendarmerie headquarters and smiled triumphantly.
These radios, electric fans, cameras, as well as food and cloth, were all purchased by traitors from Pingshun, of course using counterfeit banknotes.
Yamamoto Kenzo walked around the supplies twice. These supplies were secondary. The most important thing was to destroy the economy of Pingshun and the base area and set the backyard on fire.
He went into a heavily guarded warehouse, smelled the charming scent of ink, and took a few greedy sips.
"Yoshi! This is the taste of victory! Warriors of the Denghu Research Institute, today is our chance to avenge our previous shame. Let's work harder and produce more counterfeit banknotes!"
"Hayi!"
Under the leadership of Kenzo Yamamoto, the Toho Research Institute has mastered the technology to replicate border area tickets in a short period of time, so as long as new border area tickets are issued, they can mass-produce them within ten days.
The original anti-counterfeiting technology of border area tickets has basically become ineffective!
Ten days later, in Yamamoto Kenzo's warehouse, there were enough border area tickets to buy half of Pingshun.
He was like a wild wolf in the dark, waiting for the border area tickets to be reactivated, and then suddenly attacking and completely destroying the smooth financial system.
Wang Meng's side has also completed the organization and is ready to officially unveil the plaque.
After Lin Shubing's all-night research, he has trained the first batch of banknote printing workers. After wasting hundreds of kilograms of banknotes, he finally stumbled and made the first perfect banknote.
Wang Meng looked at the colorful banknotes and immediately sent people to escort these tons of banknotes to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia government which was relatively far away.
The vehicles were accompanied by armed police units and several other trucks that were more heavily guarded.
The printing factory started working overnight and finally finished printing the estimated RMB to be exchanged on the first day by the next morning.
A platform was set up in the middle of Pingshun's busiest street, and the front of the platform was full of reporters, who were standing on tiptoe to look at the heavily guarded five-story building behind the platform.
Although they don't know what will happen today, based on their sense of news, something big must be happening.
May 1943, 6, nine o'clock in the morning.
Wang Meng walked up to the stage and came to the front of the electric loudspeaker.
“Dear fellow countrymen and friends in the media, some of you received inside information today that there is big news to be announced, while others said they came here just to watch the fun. But the result is the same, everyone is here!
You are right. We do have important news to announce today. It is about the incident that caused a lot of controversy some time ago. Today we will put an end to this incident!"
The common people were more excited than the reporters who were busy taking notes and taking photos crazily. They couldn't use the border tickets in their hands these days, and had to buy needles, thread and other small items on credit.
One or two days of credit was fine, but the endless credit was something the store owner couldn't stand any more. He was ready to refuse credit and trade with dollars.
But if someone goes out of fire at home and comes to buy a pack of matches, you can't ask them to pay a dollar for it, right?
In the end, I just closed the store, not doing business, and not offending the neighbors.
As a result, business on Pingshun Street has slowed down a bit, and the number of people has decreased by 50% to 60%.
"Oh, it's finally over!"
"It seems the government has come up with a solution! Now we can spend the Border Region tickets in our hands!"
"Daddy, buy me a bowl of wontons later!"
"Okay, no problem! As long as this district ticket doesn't become waste paper, I'll buy you two bowls!"
Looking at the crowd that was a little excited, Wang Meng coughed twice, and the noisy noise gradually faded away.
"On behalf of the Pingshun government and the Independent Column, I declare that since it is impossible to effectively distinguish the authenticity of Border Region tickets, from now on, Border Region tickets are prohibited from being circulated in the area controlled by the Independent Column. At the same time, according to the agreement reached between my department and the Eighth Route Army and the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Government, Border Region tickets will no longer be used in the areas under their control!"
This piece of news was like a grenade thrown into a reservoir. It sank to the bottom and exploded with a muffled sound. The reporters and ordinary people present did not seem to understand its meaning and looked at each other in confusion.
Until a brave reporter raised his hand.
"Chief of Staff, I want to ask what you just said, can you repeat it again?!"
Wang Meng looked at the reporter with a smile, then put his lips to the loudspeaker and raised his voice several degrees.
"I declare that from now on, the circulation of Border District Tickets will be banned! Border District Tickets are invalid!"
The sound of elite explosions came from the loudspeaker, shocking the reporters and the people so much that they all covered their ears, but they had no time to protest.
Because their pockets are full of border area tickets!
Unlike those intellectuals and entrepreneurs, they don’t have much hard currency in their hands, but mostly border area tickets!
If the border area tickets were invalidated, wouldn't they be left penniless and return to being penniless? Would all the hard work they put into Pingshun over the years be in vain?
Waves of chills came from the common people and reporters, followed by angry roars!
"No! It can't be voided!"
"What are we going to eat if it's invalid? Why?"
The scene was noisy and the crowd was indignant. Some conspiracy theorists even believed that this was a trick by the independent column to get something for nothing!
Wang Meng winked at the soldiers on guard and fired his machine gun into the air.
The crowd finally quieted down, but their angry eyes were still staring at Wang Meng, as if they wanted to eat him!
"Fellow villagers, don't worry! I have another piece of good news to tell you. Today, our People's Bank of China is officially established!"
Wang Meng clapped awkwardly at the scene, while the ordinary people just watched coldly.
The people did nothing wrong. They only care about whether their border notes are banknotes or waste paper. Why would they care what bank you are from?
"Well, fellow villagers and journalist friends, you must remember every word I say next, because it is closely related to your pockets!"
Wang Meng took a set of sample coins and held them high in his hand, then asked the soldiers standing in the front row to hold a set each and circle around.
"This is the first version of banknotes issued by the People's Bank of China. It is called Renminbi and can be circulated freely throughout the country! You can exchange the Border Area Notes in your hands for Renminbi within three months. According to the established exchange rate, one dollar can be exchanged for 100 Renminbi, and the price of the Border Area Notes in your hands can be exchanged for the corresponding face value of Renminbi according to the corresponding grain reserves!"
Wang Meng looked at the people and reporters with full confidence. The imagined scene of rushing to exchange coins did not appear. Instead, there was a hint of doubt and ridicule.
Awkward again.
