Chen Miao thought about it, completely dried the unexpected file, and then put it away.

As for that "number".

Let's think about it when you have time. Now he has no intention of this. He has no idea about the tasks assigned by his hometown.

The steel plates for this type of engraved currency printing master are imported because they are special uses, with very little output and naturally the price is very high.

Therefore, the engraver must make a proof in advance and design the graphics to be made first before the knife will be used on the steel plate. Moreover, the carved master plate is unique and cannot be copied. This is also the first anti-counterfeiting measure for coin printing.

From the beginning of the birth of paper money, it is accompanied by counterfeit money.

As long as someone wants to get something for nothing and take shortcuts, this is inevitable. Even gold and silver can be faked, and there are also fakes that can be faked.

There are a lot of currencies circulating in the concession, the most are physical gold and silver, among which the oceans are mainly composed of oceans, and the oceans are divided into many types and their values ​​are also different.

Paper money is mainly made of legal currency, gold coupons, Japanese military tickets, gold coupons, etc. There are some other valuable currencies that are only circulated on a small scale.

If bulk transactions are involved in foreign affairs, they are mainly settled in US dollars and pounds, while the Japanese yen is mainly for Japanese imports and exports.

Shanghai's money market is very chaotic, but although it is chaotic, it still maintains this relative stability. However, domestic currencies depreciate quickly, while generally valuable metals and the US dollar are relatively stable.

Chen Miao thought of someone, Harry.

...

"Harry, long time no see you." He made an appointment with Harry at the Queen's Cafe on Jing'an Temple Road.

"Oh, Sanshui, I heard that you are married, so I don't even give me an invitation?" When Harry saw Chen Miao, he smiled and came up enthusiastically to give Chen Miao a hug, "Are you afraid that my charm is too great and that you abducted your bride away?"

"She doesn't like foreigners." Chen Miao smiled. If someone doesn't understand Harry, he would be uncomfortable listening to this.

"Oh, that's a pity." Harry shrugged, "Please sit, are you still drinking a latte?"

“Sure!”

"Waiter?" Harry reached out and summoned, "Give this gentleman a latte without sugar."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, we're all old friends." Harry smiled and winked, "You can compensate me for this cup?"

"No problem." Chen Miao responded with a smile.

"I heard that you have been promoted and become the director of the inspection department. I am so happy for you." Harry first congratulated, "Old friend, what's wrong with you asking me out?"

"I have a batch of tungsten ore on my hand. I wonder if you are interested?" Chen Miao smiled and said with great ease.

"Oh, really?" Harry's eyes lit up. Tungsten ore, which is something Germany is missing now. Only by adding tungsten to the steel that makes guns and can it improve its lifespan and various performance. This thing is now a strategic material. Germany used to have a good relationship with the National Government and can import a large amount of tungsten ore from China every year. Now Germany and Japan are alliances, and China and Germany basically have no trade exchanges.

The tungsten-producing province is a battle area between the Chinese and Japanese troops, and the war is extremely destructive. Many mines and mining equipment have been destroyed and production has been stopped.

Germany has been blocked by the economic and military forces of Europe and the United States again, and it is very difficult to obtain tungsten ore resources.

"Brother Sanshui, what conditions do you have? Just speak up." As an intelligence official, Harry naturally understands the importance of a strategic resource such as tungsten ore.

"I want to make a batch of special steel billets, but this is imported, so I have to ask for your help."

"This is not a big problem. As long as it is owned by us in Germany, I can do it for you, but I have to ask clearly, how much do you need?"

"I don't need too much, it looks like two or three hundred kilograms at most."

"That's much easier." Harry breathed a sigh of relief. If the quantity was too much, he would not be able to agree. If it involved the export of sensitive materials, it was very troublesome. If the quantity was small, you could go through special channels or carry them. The problem was not very big.

As long as the customs relationship is opened up, special steel can come in as ordinary steel. If you are not a professional person, you will not be able to see it.

"This is the technical parameters of the billet I need. It is best to help me process it and make it into a semi-finished product." Chen Miao handed over a note that had been written long ago.

Harry didn't know much, but if you send the things back to China, then someone will know what this batch of billets is for.

Chen Miao was not afraid that Harry would know that unless Harry betrayed his motherland, he would not take the initiative to tell the Japanese about his deal with him.

Besides, his relationship with Harry was also reported by Lin Shiqun, so there is no need to worry that Sakurako Ikenai found out about their relationship.

Even Sakurako Ikeuchi may know it.

Because next time, he will go to see Sakurako Ikenai.

He didn't have any tungsten ore in his hands, but the Japanese had it, and Japan was not a monolithic part, and various interest groups were intertwined.

He cooperated with Sakurako Ikenai to smuggle. Part of the money he earned from smuggling was transferred to the special high school course, and part of it was divided up by Sakurako Ikenai and the people behind him.

The corruption within the Japanese army is actually quite serious, especially the conflict between the Japanese Navy and the Army, which is really sharp.

Didn’t Kurihara Kosamro also open the door of convenience for Lin Shiqun. The two of them secretly engaged in business together, which would be a big profit. Otherwise, how could Lin Shiqun firmly control the power of No. 76 in his hands, or would it be a profit?

Follow Lin Shiqun to have meat and spend money. What can Ding Mohan give them?

This is reality.

Chen Miao planned to make money by nothing.

...

"Mr. Sanshui?" She was extremely surprised when Sakai reported to her and Chen Miao asked for a meeting.

"Hay, others are outside the door. Miss Sakurako, are you free now?" Sakai asked.

"Wait a moment." Sakurako Ikenai walked over, tidied up her clothes and hair slightly in front of the mirror, and then turned around, "Sakura Kun, please invite Sanshui Kun in."

"Hayi!"

"Mr. Sanshui, please!" Under Sakai's leadership, Chen Miao slowly walked into Sakurako Ikenai's office. This was his first time to come to Sakurako Ikenai's office, and he could not have expected that this would be the purpose.

"Miss Sakurazi." Chen Miao took off his hat, placed it on his chest, and bowed slightly.

"Sanshuijun, this is the first time you have come to me, please sit down." Sakurako Ikenai greeted with a smile, "Sakura, make a cup of tea for Sanshuijun."

"Thank you." Chen Miao hurriedly turned sideways and bowed slightly to Sakai.

Sakai lowered his head slightly and turned around and went out.

"Mr. Sanshui, please sit down." Sakurako Ikeuchi wore a black naval uniform. The Japanese naval uniform is indeed much better than the army. This may be related to the aesthetics of the Japanese army.

There is a reason why the Japanese Navy always looks down on the Army, and the aesthetic difference is very large.

"Miss Sakurako, I'm a little presumptuous when I suddenly visited." Chen Miao sat down, put his hat casually beside him, and said naturally.

"No, I welcome Sanshui Jun at any time." Sakurako Ichina smiled and said enthusiastically.

Adjutant Sakai came in with two cups of hot tea, one cup was given to Chen Miao, and the other cup was placed in front of Sakurako Ikenai. Sakurako Ikenai greeted: "Mr. Sanshui, please use tea."

"Thank you." Chen Miao thanked her, but did not go to touch the teacup, but said, "I have always wanted to visit Miss Sakurako, but I was too busy a while ago and I didn't have time. I'm really sorry."

"Sanshui Jun is so polite." Sakurako Ichinai said.

"Last time Miss Sakurako went to my place and gave me a precious pair of jade. Today, I have also prepared a small gift. I would like to ask Miss Sakurako not to dislike it." Chen Miao took out a slender wooden box from his bag.

"What is this?" Sakurako Ikeuchi asked in surprise.

"Miss Sakurazi will know when she opens it." Chen Miao smiled slightly.

Sakurako Ikenai reached out to take it. Just as she was about to open it, Sakai saw it on the side, and was about to reach out, obviously because she was afraid that something would be in the box, but she was stopped by Sakurako Ikenai.

Sakurako Ikenai opened the box in front of Chen Miao, and opened it with a "folding fan". When she opened it, she was a picture of a lady, a cold gold fan face and a tortoiseshell fan bone.

"Is this a "Lady with Flowers in a Hair" by Zhou Fang, a famous Tang Dynasty scholar?" Sakurako Ikenai was surprised. She liked "folding fans" and collected many famous fans of famous artists. When she saw this fan, she fell in love with it.

"Imitation, but this fan was written by Zeng Jing, a famous artist in the late Ming Dynasty (fake)..." Chen Miao explained with a smile.

"No, really good. This technique and rendering are indeed Zeng Jing's technique. This fan is of great value. Sanshui Jun is willing to give it to me?"

"The sword is given to the martyr and the red pink is given to the beauty. Miss Sakurako is a person who knows about 'fan', so it would be more appropriate to give this fan to Miss Sakurako."

"Okay, then I'll be disrespectful." Sakurako Ikeuchi really liked it, and did not refuse, so she took it.

This gift is something that must be requested by others.

Japan has been studying China for thousands of years, and Sakurako Ikeuchi has been in China for many years. Of course, she understood this truth, put away the folding fan, and handed it to Sakai to put it away.

"Mr. Sanshui, it's better to meet me by chance than to invite me. How about I stay for a meal tonight?"

"Okay, I'm about to discuss something with Miss Sakurako." Chen Miao nodded and agreed.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"I have a friend whose name is Harry. He used to be in the Krupp Company in Germany, and now he works for the German Consulate in Shanghai..."

"Tungsten ore, this is a strategic material, and our Japanese Empire also needs it very much. If it is sold to him, it will be very troublesome if it is discovered." Sakurako Ikeuchi said.

"Miss Sakurako, it's true that Harry's work is somewhat related to intelligence. If we can maintain a good relationship, we will have an additional source of information from the Germans, especially from within Germany. If we could know earlier, it would be very beneficial to us."

"Well, you're right, but I need to consider it. Even if I promise to do this business, it's not possible to transport tungsten ore to Shanghai in a day or two."

"I know that he also needs to make some relevant preparations. I told him that if the business is completed, it will be settled directly with gold." Chen Miao said.

"Gold?" Sakurako Ikenai's eyes lit up.

"Yes."
Chapter completed!
