Volume Two Chapter 279 The Traitor

The huge profits in the underground foreign exchange market made the initiator secretly shocked the face of such a huge number. Are you still making money? It is clearly robbing money. (No., pop-up window...

However, it is no wonder that since the 19th century, the world financial system has implemented a gold standard system, that is, countries use gold coins of certain quality and weight as currencies in circulation, and gold coins can be freely minted, exchanged and exported freely. Under the gold standard system, the exchange rate of currencies between the two countries is determined by their respective gold content ratio - the gold parity galdparitq. China has used the silver standard system for thousands of years. Although these two systems are slightly different, when the international gold and silver exchange ratio does not change much, whether it is the gold standard or the silver standard, it is not greatly affected in international exchange rate exchange.

However, after the outbreak of the European War, countries stopped exporting gold, which led to the gradual collapse of the gold standard system that lasted for a century. Now, except for a few countries, the currencies of various countries no longer follow the general exchange rate system that was abided by the pre-war period, but do their own things, and the exchange rates of international countries are in a state of chaos.

In this case, the exchange rate difference becomes profitable. Moreover, Japan has now implemented a foreign exchange control system, causing the yen to withdraw from the ranks of international currencies. On the surface, the Japanese government has a complete exchange rate ratio for the yen to the currencies of various countries in China, but in fact, in the international financial market, the yen has become a second-rate currency. In addition, in order to stimulate international competition for its products, the Japanese government deliberately lowered the yen exchange rate with China and the United States, causing heavy losses to Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises in the exchange rate.

The rise of the underground foreign exchange market not only made Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises overjoyed, but even some large Japanese consortiums could not sit still. With their support, the Japanese government had no time to react, and underground foreign exchange markets in various parts of Japan emerged one by one, especially the developed commercial Osaka, which is even more rapid than the capital Tokyo, and it is like "the exchange store in the sea opened more than rice shops overnight, which shocked the Japanese cabinet.

Although Japan is a constitutional monarchy, from the analysis of Japan's history, the status of Japanese merchants has always been quite high. Whether from the Warring States Period or the Meiji Restoration Period, there are shadows of merchants behind various historical events. Among these merchants, Osaka merchants account for the vast majority, and even the cabinet, including the Prime Minister, have their own consortiums. In this case, it is impossible for the Japanese government to forcefully cancel this underground foreign exchange market. If it insists on doing its own, it will inevitably cause a strong backlash from merchants and even lead to the collapse of the cabinet. Moreover, Japan's current financial problems are the countermeasures formulated by the previous cabinet to solve the financial collapse. In fact, it has affected the interests of merchants. In this case, both the Prime Minister and the Province of Tripitaka turn a blind eye and try to adjust their monetary policy to eliminate the impact of the underground foreign exchange market.

This idea is good, but it is difficult to operate.

Once the Japanese government increases the exchange rate, it will inevitably lead to the appreciation of the yen in the international market when meeting the requirements of domestic merchants, which is the opposite of the Japanese government's policy of dumping cheap products. However, if the current situation is maintained and blindly turned a blind eye to the underground foreign exchange market, the Japanese government will also suffer a large amount of exchange rate losses, which will lead to a sharp decline in fiscal revenue and affect Japan's development.

In Beijing, Fang Zida looked at the report sent by the Central Bank's International Analysis Office, and on his left was a document sent from New York. In both documents, the above aspects were mentioned. However, compared with the Central Bank's reports, the Americans seemed more professional, and also proposed various response policies that Japan might implement and targeted methods for these policies.

History is often surprisingly similar. When Fang Zida finished reading these two items, he did not get up for a long time, but sat there smoking a cigar and pondered. If he followed the method of the American consortium, Japanese finance might develop rapidly in the short term. However, in the long run, in just ten years or even a few years, the Japanese currency, that is, the Japanese yen, will become a straw that crushes Japanese finance.

Fang Zida is very familiar with this method. He never expected that the Americans would figure it out nearly a hundred years in advance because of his promotion. It is simple to say that according to the Americans' conception, the success of the underground foreign exchange market can force the Japanese government to implement two completely different policies in the domestic and international currency markets. Internationally, the yen is not constantly appreciated as an international currency circulation, but in fact, the price of Japanese commercial products has been greatly reduced, and the market is exchanged for reduced profits and even fiscal subsidies, and the appreciation of the yen is used to purchase raw materials significantly to meet domestic production requirements.

In China, the actual purchasing power of the yen will continue to decline. In order to maintain fiscal balance, the Japanese government can only print more money. In this way, Japanese finance will continue to develop in a deformed state. Japanese businessmen who are forced to do so will inevitably withdraw funds from Japan to ensure their interests or invest in other value-preserving investments. This will give financial tycoons in China and the United States an opportunity to take advantage of it.

With a wry smile, Fang Zida knew that he had released a devil. Fortunately, the target of this devil was not China, but its tyrant Japan. I am afraid that under this huge plan, Japan will be swallowed by itself and the consortiums of the United States in a few years and not even left. At that time, what ability will Japan, which is seriously damaged in energy, compete with China?

When he picked up the pen, he signed the word "网" for two documents. Then Fang Zida put them in a top-secret file bag, carefully sealed the number with a fire seal, called the person, and archived the file at the highest level.

Afterwards, Fang Zida drafted several more telegrams and sent them to Jiang Zhiqing of the Shanghai Sea and several major American families. After doing these things, it was already dark.

When Fang Zida returned to the official residence, his wife came up as soon as she entered the door and told him in a low voice that there were guests at home that had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Princess Annastasia?"

"Yes, Your Highness the Princess has been waiting for you for more than two hours."

"Where are people?"

"I arranged her in the backyard. Don't worry, I asked Xiao Zhou's people to check it out. The princess came quietly and no outsiders knew about it."

Yuan Sizhen was born in Yuan's Mansion. Although she usually only cares about politics, she still has the necessary sensitivity. The little Zhou she mentioned is naturally Zhou Yuanliang. After hearing what his wife said, Fang Zida calmed down a little, gave her coat and bag to her wife, and walked towards the backyard.

Princess Annastasia came alone. Apart from bringing a confidant entourage and driver, even the Baron, who had always been inseparable, did not follow. When Fang Zida stepped into the backyard, she saw the princess's confidant entourage standing outside a room to watch out. When Fang Zida saw Fang Zida, he nodded at the other party first, then turned around and knocked on the door, and said Russian to it.

"General Fang, Your Highness invites you in."

After opening the door, the other party said respectfully, Fang Zida nodded slightly and entered the room.

In the room, Princess Annastasia sat on the windowsill, holding her cheek with one hand and the other on the table, as if she was thinking about something. Hearing the sound of entering the door, seeing Fang Zida finally coming back, Princess Annastasia quickly stood up and saluted Fang Zida first, and then said urgently in French: "Your Excellency, please help me! Help us Romanov family!"

"Your Highness, what's going on? Please don't do this, sit down and talk, sit down and talk...

"Seeing Princess Annastasia's tears in her eyes, Fang Zida hurriedly helped her up, then took a step back and pointed at the chair and said.

"Your Excellency, the Romanov family has reached the verge of destruction. My father, Nicholas II of the great Russian Empire, is in an extremely dangerous environment. If you don't take action, the Romanov family may disappear in this world. As a member of the Romanov family, I beg you to help us!" Princess Annastasia said with tears in her eyes, looking up at Fang Zida, with a firm look on her eyes, and seemed to have made some decisions. She bit her lip and stood up: "Your Excellency, as long as you can help us, I accept any price. I know that you Chinese can have many wives. As the female granddaughter of the Russian Empire, I can... for my family and country."

"Stop!" Fang Zida raised his hand to stop him without waiting for the other party to finish his words. What is this? Although the princess in front of her is noble and beautiful, she is now underage under the age of 17. Besides, Fang Zida could not do such a thing. If he promised the other party, the whole world would scold him to the point of blood. He didn't want to be the target of thousands of men.

"Your Highness, I still don't understand what you mean. Sit down first, sit down first? What happened? Also, why did you come quietly alone? Where is the Baron Peter Nikolayevich Flanger? Why is he not here?"

"Baron Peter Nikolaevich Flanger? This traitor! Traitor! villain! trash..." It was fine if you didn't mention the baron. As soon as Fang Zida mentioned, he wouldn't have thought that Princess Annastasia would curse without any etiquette. If the princess hadn't sat in front of him, Fang Zida could not believe that these filthy words actually came from the mouth of the noblest royal member of Europe.

I cursed for three minutes. If the Baron was there, I would probably have been scolded to death. This is because of the extreme lack of swearing words in French and Russian. If it were to be cursed in Chinese, it would be possible that Princess Annastasia would have been scolded all day long.
