King of agents: I can upgrade infinitely

Chapter 373 John
When John asked for U.S. dollars, Zhou Lin said: "The total U.S. dollars in Shanghai are less than 1 yuan. Are you sure you can sell your [-] tons of soybeans for [-] U.S. dollars?"

Of course John didn’t want to sell it: “Then take yen.”

Zhou Lin smiled: "In Shanghai, when trading in Japanese yen, you have to report it to the Japanese and wait for their approval. It is estimated that the Japanese will have to consider this business for three months, and the Japanese yen is missing. It’s more than U.S. dollars, and its circulation is very small.”

John said: "I don't want fiat currency!"

Zhou Lin said: "Actually, there is another kind of money that can be used for temporary turnover."

"What money? Money from the afterlife?"

The money for afterlife is the money burned during Qingming Festival.

Zhou Lin said: "Of course it's not that money. It's military coupons, Japanese military coupons."

John knew about the Japanese military tickets and said, "It's a white ticket."

Military stamps are usually the main means of payment in the military. In order to prevent large quantities of domestic currency from being taken out of the country, they are used to pay military salaries.A kind of banknote that is also issued by the military or the government in the occupied areas for purchasing materials and implementing economic control during the war. It can be regarded as an unsecured government note. To put it bluntly, it is a piece of white paper.

Military tickets are circulated as local currency in many cases. If the country wins the war, the holder may be able to convert it into the local currency in proportion, that is, into legal currency. If the country loses the war, the economy of the defeated country will The situation may make it impossible to redeem a huge amount of military notes, and the military notes will become useless paper, and the holder's wealth will be wiped out.

Zhou Lin said: "To Shanghai, it is a white bar, but it is a circulating white bar. Moreover, it is very popular in Shanghai. Shanghainese buy daily necessities, but they cannot buy them with other currencies. They can only buy them with military notes. ."

John also knows this. "Is it useful if I hold it?"

Zhou Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know if you are asking questions knowingly or if you really don't understand. You can use military stamps to buy ore and cotton."

Zhou Lin's advice made John smile.He took out a cigar and handed it to Zhou Lin: "George, smoke."

Zhou Lin lit a cigar and said: "Shanghai has regulations. The Chinese are not allowed to deal in ore, cotton and other strategic materials. But you, the United Kingdom and the United States, are not restricted. I saw a lot of British ships loading ore and towing them. U.K."

John said unhappily: "Those bad guys, I want the ore, but they said you can only buy it with military stamps."

Zhou Lin: "They also bought the ore with military stamps."

When John heard this, he became anxious: "George, let's do business! I will give you the goods, and you will give me military coupons."

Zhou Lin said: "No problem!"

So, John took Zhou Lin to the warehouse and looked at the soybeans in the warehouse.

After Zhou Lin looked at it, he handed the large suitcase he brought to John.
After checking, John confirmed that it was a genuine military ticket.

The two men made a deal.

Twelve warehouses belong to George!The military coupons in the suitcase belong to John.

The two agreed to have dinner together in the evening and immediately separated.

John was eager to buy ore.

After John left, Zhou Lin went to bolt the warehouse doors one by one and put the soybeans in the warehouse into the storage space.

It only took an hour for Zhou Lin to visit twelve warehouses and collect all the soybeans inside.

Zhou Lin felt that he had made a profit by exchanging military coupons for soybeans.

Starting next year, due to the influence of climate, soybean production will decrease by more than 30.00%.

All of a sudden, the price of soybeans doubled.From ten pounds per yen to five pounds per yen.

In the following years, soybean prices continued to rise.The supply of soybeans in China has become tight.

After collecting the goods, Zhou Lin went to the hotel.

We made an appointment to have dinner with John in the evening.

John is easy to fool and can be a long-term partner.

At 06:30 in the afternoon, I saw John and others entering the Western restaurant.When he saw Zhou Lin from afar, John said hello: "George. I'm here!"

Zhou Lin said: "I have taken a stand here. If you don't come again, I will be driven away."

John's eyes widened, "Who dares?"

A passing waiter was startled and almost dropped the plate in his hand.

Several people sat down and each ordered their favorite food.

John ordered a bottle of red wine. "Come, let's celebrate."

Zhou Lin asked: "Is the business settled?"

"The deal has been made. I got the keys to the No. [-] Mineral Warehouse and the ownership of the goods, and the money was paid. George, you have to treat me to this meal, I have become a pauper."

Zhou Lin said contemptuously: "John, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. You made at least 30.00% on soybeans, and you will definitely make more than 50.00% on this mineral. Adding up the two items, you made double." Do you still want me to treat you? Don’t you feel a pang of conscience?”

John asked curiously: "What is conscience? Is it more expensive than soybeans?"

The crowd laughed.

After dinner, John wrote a frequency and an American phone number to Zhou Lin, "George, if I come to China again, I will definitely find you. If you go to the United States, you must also find me."

Zhou Lin accepted it, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down a radio frequency and a phone number for John. "John, if you come to China to do business, you can come to me. I have a way to exchange for military stamps. You can send me a telegram. By the way, the content of our notification cannot be known to others. So we have to set a password. "

Speaking of this, Zhou Lin immediately went to the bookstore and bought two books of the same batch with the same name.

Handed a copy to John: "This is the password for our power supply. Can it be used?"

John said, "Of course!"

Zhou Lin understood immediately.This guy is not simple.Not just a businessman.

John also knew that Zhou Lin was not a simple person. The person who could use books as passwords was either that or this one.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and said goodbye.

Tomorrow John will return to the United States with the ship.Zhou Lin didn't have time to see him off, so he saw him off here.

After coming out, Zhou Lin felt that someone was watching him.

He did not take a car, but walked slowly along the street.

There was a car behind, probably two people.

Not knowing who they were, Zhou Lin wanted to know why they were following him.

When he reached an alley, Zhou Lin immediately turned around and entered the alley.

The car immediately braked, and after the car stopped, two people rushed in.

This is a straight alley, one road to the end.There is no way out there but through the entrance.

The two people stood in the middle of the alley and saw no one from Zhou Lin.Then he started talking.

"Dalang, where did that man go? He shouldn't live here."

"How do you know he doesn't live here? Maybe he's already sitting on the sofa at home smoking."

"Then should we send someone over?"

"People must be adjusted. We need to find out first. We have to be cautious about a person with a huge military salary. What if he is from a big family in Tokyo?"
