It's winter now. Who would use an electric fan when they are full during this season?
Therefore, there will be more or less dust on the ceiling fan.
However, if you look closely at the ceiling fan blades above your head, there are several places that are very clean.
It doesn't fit in with the surroundings.
Why?
Because someone often moves the ceiling fan.
The secret is in the ceiling fan.
Meng Shaoyuan stood on a stool and reached to the back to touch it a few times.
Behind one of the leaves, he touched something.
Still stuck.
Meng Shaoyuan took it off carefully.
That's an envelope.
Open the envelope and inside is a certificate of deposit.
HSBC has a deposit of US$3.63 million.
If converted according to the exchange rate 20 years ago, one ounce of silver would be exchanged for about 0.66 to 0.7 US dollars.
Three million taels, close to 5.3 million ounces!
So, here is the price of three million taels of silver!
Three million six hundred and thirty thousand dollars!
Not to mention in this era, it is a huge sum of money in any era!
You can’t tell that this bastard Li Mingda has already become extremely rich!
The first deposit was found.
Meng Shaoyuan walked out of the study.
Second clue:
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mingda would go to the yard to take care of his flowers and plants for about an hour.
There are many flowers and plants planted in the yard.
Meng Shaoyuan stood there and looked at each pot carefully.
His eyes fell on a pot of cactus.
The flowerpot is large, with a small cactus planted in it.
It looked a little abrupt.
And the most important thing is that the more you treat a cactus plant badly, the better it will grow.
Meng Shaoyuan walked over.
It can be seen that the soil has been turned over.
Meng Shaoyuan used the simplest and crudest method:
He smashed the flowerpot directly!
Then, from among the dirt, he found a second envelope.
In the envelope, a second check appeared:
A deposit of US$3.63 million in the Bank of France!
Thank you, Li Mingda!
Meng Shaoyuan thought with a smile.
Now, it’s the third clue’s turn:
After dinner, Li Mingda would take the initiative to wash the dishes and let Bai Cuishan go have tea and rest.
Who can believe that Li Mingda is such a diligent man who loves women so much?
I believe you and I am a pig!
Why rush to wash the dishes?
The secret is in the cupboard!
Meng Shaoyuan didn't bother to look for it at all, he still used a simple and crude method:
Smashed the cupboard!
However, nothing was found.
Could it be that I made a wrong judgment?
Meng Shaoyuan was not in a hurry.
He picked up the chopstick barrel on the ground and dumped the chopsticks inside.
After just one glance, Meng Shaoyuan smiled.
The chopstick barrel is very thick.
There is only one reason for being so thick:
There is a mezzanine inside!
Meng Shaoyuan found the third deposit:
Citibank has a deposit of $4.92 million!
Four million taels of silver!
Li Mingda converted all the silver into US dollars and deposited them in three banks!
Before he died, he originally wanted to use one of the checks to exchange for his own life.
However, he didn't even have a chance to speak.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't need him to speak.
These ten million taels of silver and more than twelve million US dollars are all his.
Damn it, I really made an unexpected fortune this time!
More than twelve million US dollars!
How many things can be done?
Meng Shaoyuan was delighted.
So, when he went out and saw Bai Cuishan's frightened face, he said, "Don't worry, Li Mingda stole important documents. I came here specifically. I won't hurt you."
"Thank you, thank you." Bai Cuishan said tremblingly.
"gone."
Meng Shaoyuan waved his hand and said.
This time I came here to take advantage of the opportunity, and I also came back to take advantage of the opportunity.
The wallet is bulging.
Meng Shaoyuan was also in a good mood and waved his hand: "Every member of the Guards will receive an additional three months' salary."
Although Meng Shaoyuan was stingy, he was not stingy at all towards his subordinates.
Everyone in the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau knows this.
"Three months?" Li Zhifeng blinked: "Sir, are you rich?"
The one who knows me is Li Zhifeng.
"I've made it, I've made it." Master Meng smiled happily: "I've made a little fortune."
…
"How much is that?"
Back home, Wu Jingyi asked.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't say much and took out three deposits.
Wu Jingyi looked a little confused.
More than twelve million dollars?
Where did he get it?
"Take it out in batches."
Meng Shaoyuan specifically explained: "Set up two special accounts at Citibank or HSBC, one to deposit 10 million US dollars and earn interest, and the other to deposit 2 million US dollars.
These two million US dollars were earmarked exclusively for use to subsidize the military commanders in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. If funds are needed, they will be released immediately upon verification. "
"Understood."
Wu Jingyi collected three deposits.
It is said that the Shanghai District has always been extremely wealthy. In the eyes of others, Shanghai is a financial center and a large district, so it is naturally rich.
Plus Dai Li's preference for Meng Shaoyuan?
Can this Shanghai district not be a rich man?
But who could know that the funds allocated by the headquarters to the Shanghai District every year are fixed and will not be specially increased because of Meng Shaoyuan's presence.
Since last year, the legal currency has begun to depreciate rapidly and inflation has become serious.
Previously, the fiat currency and the British pound were pegged to a stable currency value.
In the economy, there is a currency index that can briefly measure inflation. For example, if the currency index was 1 in 1937, the currency index in 1939 was 3.04.
It looked like prices had tripled, but it was war time and there were reasons for the price increase. But later, everything changed.
In 1940, the Nationalist government issued more currency to make up for the fiscal shortfall.
There is a more important reason.
In order to destroy China's rear economy, Japan forcibly exchanged Japanese-issued currency for legal tender in the Japanese-occupied areas, and used smuggled materials to obtain legal tender and sent it to Shanghai to exchange for foreign exchange from the National Government.
The National Government received loans of more than 10 million pounds and 50 million US dollars from the United Kingdom and the United States respectively, but they were still insufficient to support the legal currency exchange rate.
Beginning in 1940, unlimited foreign exchange trading was abolished, and the value of legal tender began to decline.
The speed was far beyond the imagination of the National Government.
The county government of a guerrilla zone, with a monthly budget of 10,000 yuan, has begun to make ends meet.
However, wages have not increased everywhere.
Shanghai area is different.
It will increase the salary according to the changes in the legal currency exchange rate.
All of this depends on one person:
Meng Shaoyuan!
On the battlefield, bullets are indispensable.
On the zero front, waving a checkbook is also very powerful.
Meng Shaoyuan's men were willing to work for him, which also played a big role.
Moreover, this guy is very good at making money. You don't know that he can make a lot of money just by wandering around.
At the same time, his smuggling empire was at full capacity, continuously transfusing blood to Shanghai.
Now that he is in charge of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai at the same time, the pressure on him has naturally increased exponentially.
But don’t be afraid, the enemy has planes and tanks, and we have Master Meng who can fly in the sky and escape from the ground and is omnipotent!
