"Replying to Young Master, the old craftsman of the Confucian Periodical did not return home. Not only that, even his family members have disappeared without a trace." After several days of investigation, Xu Jie returned without any results.
Meton sighed. He was not surprised. The other party would not leave such a big flaw.
"Then what should we do? For my bank, fake banknotes are like a fishbone stuck in the throat. If we do not find the source, there will be endless trouble. " Shen Hongcai said anxiously. This kind of secret opponent was the most difficult to deal with. If they did not find out, the bank would never have a day of peace.
Meton nodded solemnly. The fake banknotes must be investigated. However, after the continuous promotion of the Mo family's method of distinguishing the authenticity of banknotes, the fake banknotes could not easily destroy the layout of the bank. However, the Mo family would not let the person behind the fake banknotes get away with it.
"Have there been any fake banknotes in the past month?" Meton turned and asked.
Shen Hongcai shook his head and said, "The other party is really terrible. Since the fake banknote case broke out, they immediately disappeared without a trace. Not a single fake banknote came out."
"It can't be that the other party is afraid. After all, Young Master has put a big bounty on them. In addition, the whole city can distinguish between real and fake banknotes. Even if there are fake banknotes, they can't spend it." Xu Jie analyzed.
"Maybe the other party has earned enough. This time, the fake banknotes are more than 20,000 strings of cash. This is money that ordinary people can't earn in their lifetime." Shen Hongcai said.
"Scared! They have earned enough! "Meton could not help but coldly snort.
"Money for the school of mathematics is just a string of numbers. For the Mo family, money is just the capital to study the Mo technique. For the Mo family, money is just a tool to revive the Mo family. For businessmen, a 30% profit is already precious. If the profit is more than 50%, they will rush like a flock."
Everyone couldn't help but nod. Even Xu Jie couldn't help but sigh. Although he was known as a legend in Chang 'an's business world, he had indeed taken many risks in order to make money. Otherwise, he wouldn't have failed in the end.
"However, for some unorthodox people, if there's a hundred percent profit, they'll be willing to take risks. If there's a two hundred percent profit, they'll dare to trample on all the laws of the world. If there's a three hundred percent profit, they'll dare to commit any crime. They'll even risk having their whole family executed. The profit from printing fake banknotes is more than three times the profit. Don't worry, the other party is just lying low for a while. They won't be able to lie low forever. They'll soon be exposed," Meton said proudly.
"The whip has penetrated the heart. The human heart of the world is nothing more than this." Shen Hongcai sighed. When he first came into contact with the bank, he had already keenly sensed that money could corrupt people's hearts. Fortunately, he was old and had rich experience. Coupled with the fact that he was wholeheartedly concerned about mathematics, he was able to stay true to his heart.
"What do you mean, boss?" Xu Jie asked. The bank had too many benefits for the Village Mo. They could pay with banknotes, settle accounts with the bank, and escort money with the bank. Now he was only responsible for selling the goods of the Village Mo, which was much easier than before. Moreover, the possibility of the shopkeeper embezzling money was almost eliminated.
Now he was eager for the bank to return to normal. He didn't want to go back to the trouble of managing the accounts.
Meton smiled confidently and said, "Yesterday, good news came from the Village Mo. The new version of banknotes has been printed. It will be immediately publicized in the Mo Magazine and on the streets of Chang 'an. The Village Mo will start to implement the second version of the new banknotes. I want to turn the fake banknotes in the hands of the secret people into a pile of waste paper."
"Wonderful! In this way, if the other party is unwilling to give up such a huge profit, they'll definitely take risks recently. " Xu Jie said excitedly.
Shen Hongcai said worriedly, "But what if the other party doesn't take action?"
Meton took a deep breath and said, "Then we'll have to be careful. Such a cunning enemy will be the biggest enemy of the Mo Family."
If the other party waited for the second version of the banknotes to be replaced and let the fake banknotes in his hands become a pile of waste paper, then he would be a real enemy. The Village Mo Family would probably have to guard against this secret enemy forever.
…
"The Mo Magazine is coming. The Village Mo Family is going to release the second version of the banknotes. The color will change from the original black to green!"
"The second version of the banknotes uses the most powerful anti-counterfeiting technology in the Village Mo Family. The paper used is the royal tribute paper, mulberry paper. No one can copy it."
…
With the release of the Mo Magazine and the publicity of the bank on the streets, the second version of the banknotes of the Village Mo Family in Chang 'an, Luoyang and the Village Mo Family became known to everyone. In the Pan Family Restaurant, the second version of the banknotes instantly became a hot topic.
"Tribute paper! The Mo Family dares to use tribute paper? "A diner clicked his tongue and said.
"So what? Meton is now also a relative of the royal family. Besides, the tribute paper is only used for banknotes, not for personal use. It won't disgrace the royal family. "
The crowd couldn't help but nod. Now Meton was also the prince consort of the royal family, so it was not against the rules to use the tribute paper. In addition, the tribute paper was used by the royal family, so the credibility of the banknotes was increased by 30%.
"What about the original banknotes?" Many diners asked eagerly. After using the banknotes for a short period of time, the convenience had been recognized by everyone. Now the banknotes were quite recognized by everyone.
"According to the Mo Magazine, the first version of the banknotes can be circulated for another month, and the bank of the Village Mo Family will gradually replace it with the second version of the banknotes. After a month, the banknotes will no longer be circulated in the market. If you want to spend it, you have to go to the bank of the Village Mo Family to exchange it for the new banknotes. Of course, the exchange rate will be 1: 1 for free." Manager Pan said loudly.
"One month!" The crowd nodded. The banknotes could be used in Chang 'an, Luoyang, and the Village Mo Family had banks. One month was enough.
"What if I go out of town and can't come back in a short time? Then what about the banknotes in my hand? "A traveling merchant asked deliberately.
Manager Pan raised the Mo Magazine in his hand and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about that at all. As long as the banknotes in your hand are real, no matter if you go in a month or three or five years, the bank of the Village Mo Family will exchange it for the new banknotes. Of course, if you wait for eight or ten years, I'm afraid you have no choice but to keep it for yourself. "
The crowd couldn't help but burst into laughter. If the banknotes were not exchanged for eight or ten years, the Village Mo Family naturally had no obligation to wait for you.
"To tell you the truth, I have just exchanged it for brand new banknotes." The merchant raised a stack of brand new green banknotes in his hand and threw it gently. Immediately, the banknotes made a pleasant sound.
"This is the new banknotes!" The crowd couldn't help but look at the brand new banknotes curiously.
"How can it be fake? Love with Impartiality, Not Attacking the Virtuous …. The philosophy of the School of Mo is all printed on the banknotes. Not to mention, the quality of the paper is too good. It feels good to the touch, and it's extremely tough and sharp enough to hurt people. The tribute paper really lives up to its reputation. " Shopkeeper Pan said admiringly. It had to be said that, not to mention the value of the banknotes, just the quality and workmanship of the banknotes were enough to make one unable to put them down. Especially when he had just received the banknotes, he had accidentally cut a hole in his hand. This discovery made him happy instead of angry.
"You can actually do this?"
The crowd exclaimed.
As the exquisite second generation banknotes were issued, they were quickly accepted by the people. The School of Mo was ready to exchange the first generation banknotes in an orderly manner.
