Chapter 576 The Deadliest Threat (Second update, please subscribe)
The office was quiet,
Although Li Yian was pacing back and forth in the office, his steps were It was so light that you couldn't even hear the footsteps.
In the end, Li Yian stood by the window, staring at the window and smoking a cigar. After thinking for a long time, he said.
“Tell them that Nanyang was founded after the war. It did not have any trade relations with Germany during the war, nor did it receive any transfer funds from Germany after the war. Although there were some German immigrants, they were all Ordinary people, our official gold reserves are only 1,874 tons. This gold is well documented, and the vast majority of it was obtained by mainland Chinese expatriates through currency exchange!”
Facing the doubts from the outside world, Li Yian once again answered with the same answer.
"Your Excellency, I'm afraid they are not satisfied with this reply. The allies' tracking of German assets has not stopped, and they doubt our gold reserves..."
Before Li Guoren could finish speaking, Li Yian Just said.
"Then they are welcome to come to our vault for on-the-spot verification. As for the others, ignore them, we are not afraid of their investigation!"
The reason why Li Yian is not worried is because The gold he and Germany obtained from smuggling tungsten sand has long been bleached and turned into machines. As for the current gold reserves in Nanyang - they are all immigrants from Tangshan.
Of course this is just a superficial explanation. What is the real source?
It is the "Yamashita Fengwen Treasure". A few years ago, the Intelligence Bureau dispatched a secret task force to the Philippines based on the confessions of prisoners of war. They found a large amount of gold in several treasure hiding places provided by him. Not as much as the legend said, but still quite a lot. It took the Intelligence Bureau more than two years to transport this batch of gold to Nanyang. The vast majority of this gold came from Hua Qiao, who liked to accumulate gold. During the war, many people in The great Chinese merchant families that had been active in Southeast Asia for centuries were all extinct—often massacred after their gold and wealth were stolen by the Japanese.
In order to "launder" this batch of gold, in the past few years, the Secret Intelligence Service took advantage of the influx of immigrants and exchanged more than two thousand tons of gold directly in the name of the immigrants. , which also led to a rapid surge in Nanyang gold reserves in a short period of time.
And this is also the reason why Nanyang is being targeted - gold reserves are increasing too fast.
“It was really not as good as...”
It's really not as good as "exchanging" more gold. This can actually save a lot of trouble. After all, the gold will always need to be laundered in the future.
Now it seems a bit wrong.
In addition to the batch of gold that has been converted into Nanyang gold reserves, there is also a considerable amount of gold that has been received by the Secret Intelligence Service and has become its off-book funds for various secret activities. Its use and Domination is free from outside supervision. Of course, this outside world refers to the outside world outside Li Yian. In fact, this gold is in Li Yian's private vault-not only does it store a large amount of gold, but it also stores the art treasures he brought back from France. .
According to Li Yian's plan, the art treasures recaptured by pretending to be SS troops will be placed in a secret museum. As for the treasures recovered from the Murdoch Salt Mine, they can be released bit by bit in the future and become Museum collection.
But now... let’s keep these treasures for ourselves to enjoy!
As for the gold, it will be sold through the domestic market in the future. Of course, it can also be used as the country’s secret reserve.
"Will such an investigation involve some of our friends?"
Li Guoren reminded him in a timely manner.
Li Yian shook his head and said.
“We can invite their vault to check. The gold is completely different from the German gold in terms of specifications and purity. It is pure and pure. There is nothing to be afraid of. The investigation is limited to this. ”
After Li Guoren left the office, Yu Cheng Pengan entered the office soon.
"Your Excellency, there will be absolutely no problem. All gold is exchanged in the name of expatriates. The purity and specifications of the gold will explain everything."
Nodding slightly, Li Yian said .
"I know, I'm not worried about this issue right now. After all, it's groundless, there is no evidence, and they can't find out a reason. It's just a matter of two sides pulling each other for a while. What I'm worried about is our friends. ”
If you want to benefit from it, you must suffer from it. The development of Nanyang has a lot to do with German scientists and engineers. It is for this reason that Nanyang provides asylum to so many German officials and Not just officers, but some are really... war criminals!
There are even some "devil doctors" who committed crimes in the concentration camps. It must be said that the medical level of those people is very excellent. Although they did commit crimes, from the perspective of Nanyang, the existence of those people greatly improved the level of medical care and medicine in Nanyang.
So it is natural to protect them.
"We will cooperate with the Security Bureau to help them disappear as much as possible. If necessary, we can send them to an outer island to play for a while."
"Well, you should be prepared. "By the way..." Obviously Cheng Peng'an had already prepared, Li Yian nodded and said.
"How did that matter go?"
"Your Excellency,"
No need to ask in detail, Cheng Pengan also knows what you are referring to,
"Since Starting a year ago, we acquired 74 rubber plantations through multiple front companies. After many false transactions, their value has tripled. Now the market has been fully activated. If they get involved in this market, then Their losses will be extremely heavy! And now they have entered this market one after another.”
Li Yian said after nodding.
“People must pay the price for their greed, and we must teach them a painful lesson—speculating in Nanyang is not as good as investing. The return on investment is huge, but speculation... will pay a heavy price. "
Although Li Yi'an didn't have a hundred ways to punish those speculators who took advantage of the loopholes, he had many ways to make them pay a heavy price in the place they cared about most, ending the roundabout. After the inspection, Li Yian began to instruct the Secret Intelligence Service to implement corresponding actions.
"Well, when will the bureau plan to close the network?"
"In a few months or so."
Cheng Pengan said,
"Now they have just started to enter the game. Even if they do come in, the losses will not be big. If you want them to jump off the building, the line must be longer. Only in this way can they learn their lesson." . ”
Of course, for the Secret Intelligence Service, it can also obtain more funds. After all, overseas intelligence activities cost money. Although there is a secret fund stored with the boss, the gold cannot be used. It's troublesome to get up, but it's convenient to use cash.
"Yeah!"
Li Yian said with a slight nod.
"You have a good grasp of the rhythm, but the time cannot be delayed too long, just a lesson is enough!"
The most important thing is not to be able to involve financial institutions, but fortunately, most banks in Nanyang are corporate. The company can control the bank's financing direction to avoid any impact on finance. What Li Yian needs is just to crack down on those speculators. The purpose is to teach them a lesson and let them turn their attention from speculation to investment. After all, the funds in their hands are very large. It is considerable and can be used for investment. It is a good thing for the economy of Nanyang to benefit the country and the people.
“I understand.”
Cheng Pengan said.
“However, Your Excellency, I think they will set their sights on another aspect, such as gold...”
Nodding, Li Yian said.
“I know that even if the tree is still, the wind will not stop. Those people have long been accustomed to speculation. Just a lesson is not enough. These are all scabies and they cannot touch the foundation of Nanyang, the foundation of Nanyang... ..."
Looking at Cheng Pengan, Li Yian asked.
"The threat to us is basically in another place! Have they been found?"
The reason why Li Yian mentioned this issue is because, in the past period of time, as the security guards The Bureau is getting more and more information.
The threats he feels from the outside are also increasing. That kind of external threat is not just external, but a threat that penetrates from the outside to the inside.
Compared with these other threats, it is the most deadly. In fact, in the past few years, he has been trying every possible means to get rid of these threats, but the threats still come to his door.
"We have been conducting external investigations. I believe that the Security Bureau is collecting as much information as possible. They will always be exposed..."
