In the British Empire

Since the mid-19th century, the right to issue currency has been gradually tightened, and banks have been prohibited from issuing paper money without permission, and can only be issued by the Bank of England. Therefore, the Bank of England has become a central bank with monetary and fiscal regulatory role.

The Bank of England has relatively loose management of coins. Australia's Huitong Bank was allowed to issue only silver shillings and copper pennies. The issuance policy was adjusted by the United Reserve Bank of Australia and has no right to issue large-value banknotes at the moment, so the large-value banknotes circulating on the Queensland market all come from the UK.

Most of the large banknotes issued by the Bank of England are circulating in England and Ireland. Scotland retains three banknote issuing banks (Bank of Scotland, Royal Bank of Scotland, Claydill Bank), and Northern Ireland retains four (Bank of Ulster, Bank of the North, First Trust Bank, Bank of Ireland), so there are 8 versions of the pound itself.

The exchange rate of these paper currency is fixed and can be exchanged for gold according to the denomination. The reputation is guaranteed by the British Empire and can be used in the British Isles and their affiliated colonial island countries. So the strange phenomenon is... The British Empire has 8 banknotes issued banks, all of which can issue British pound paper banknotes.

What Fujita Hatto took out was the white pound note issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland. This thick stack of 1,000 pounds flashed under the dim kerosene light with an irresistible charm, which almost made people breathe a pause.

"Ah... May I ask, this... this is 1,000 pounds." Wei Pengfei really didn't expect that 1,000 pounds would appear in front of him like this. His heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick his dry lips.

"Yes Wei Sang, you have everything you want here. As long as you can bring out enough heavy intelligence, you can get a steady stream of wealth, more than this..."

"Can I count?"

"Of course, this is absolutely fine, please give me a try."

Fujita Hatto reached out to make a call, looking calm and talented, and was much better than Yamamoto Ichiro.

At this time, Miben Ichiro stared at the stack of banknotes, and his performance was not much better than Wei Pengfei. He had never seen so much cash as he grew up, so no wonder he was a little out of control.

Wei Pengfei hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but reach out to his hand. He quickly counted the stack of banknotes, with a total face value of 1,120 pounds, even exceeding his psychological expectations.

"Is this all for me...Mr. Fujita?"

Hearing such shameless words, Fujita Hattori, who tried his best to show his mastery style, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids twice, and his heart felt a strong urge to kill.

Well, can you expect a betrayer to have any noble sentiments?

Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Fujita Hattori said gracefully; "Wei Sang, as long as you can produce valuable information, money is definitely not a problem."

"Okay, it's refreshing. I just like traders like you, who are much better than Yamamoto."

Wei Pengfei held the banknotes tightly with one hand, took out a folded piece of paper from his arms with the other hand, and handed it over and said solemnly, "Fujita, this is an extremely important confidential document that I stolen today at the risk of my life. Because the content of the document is too sensitive, I can only forcefully remember most of the contents. After I go home, I will write it out based on my memory. This should restore the essence of this document. Please check it out to see if it is worth the price."

"Yoxi, Wei Sang is very happy."

Good words are not worth the money, Fujita Hattori showed an admirational posture, reached out to take the confidential document and opened it for a while. His figure couldn't help but shocked. He raised his head and looked at Wei Pengfei with a shocked look, and hurriedly lowered his head and looked...

Value, too much value.

Fusang is an ancient oriental kingdom. Its tradition of attaching importance to intelligence has a long history. Compared with adventurers and crew members who collect intelligence in European and American countries, Fusang has specialized institutions and personnel engaged in this industry, which is undoubtedly much more professional.

Faced with traditional enemies North Korea, Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia, Fusang has worked hard to run a huge intelligence network, and now it has to add a Queensland.

Fujita Hattori can see that the value of this information is extremely high at once, because the value of an information does not simply depend on its importance, but also on its timeliness and the final demander.

The previous points are clear at a glance, mainly because there are great differences in the final demanders.

For example, this is extremely important information to Fusang. Fujita Hattori can only pay up to 300 pounds, because Fusang is too poor and far less generous than he calls it.

Having said that

The ultimate demand is the big dogs in Southern State who are opening gold mines. It is possible to pay 3,000 or even 5,000 pounds for this important information. These white gold miners are not short of money at all. What they lack is intelligence, especially information that is related to their own interests and life and death.

Think about it...

The originally powerful Queensland forces are only entrenched in northern New South Wales. Now, by restarting the railway south extension plan, they can extend their influence to the south for hundreds of miles and reach the Victoria border, which is equivalent to a sharp blade pressing on the back.

One day before you know this information, you will take the initiative one day earlier, and its huge value is difficult to measure.

Even if we take a step back and learn about this confidential information in advance, the white gold mine owner who is willing to retreat will definitely be able to sell the gold mine at a high price, because the Queensland forces are still hundreds of miles away and cannot have a serious impact on Victoria for the time being.

This is a fool who can calculate the account, but it is just an effect accompanied by intelligence. From this perspective, this information is really shining!

What's even more wonderful is... Due to the backward and asymmetry of information transmission, coupled with the general mentality of people's self-realization, this information can be sold to more than one customer, and there is no need to worry about being in trouble, which is enough to make them pay a large amount of pounds of cash and fully tap the potential of the information to maximize their interests.

"Fujita, can you still be satisfied with this information?"

"Yosi, very good, it is worthy of information worth thousands of pounds. The content is detailed and reliable, and the timeliness is also very time-consuming. Wei Sang is too worried." Fujita Hattobe praised.

Care is confusing, but Wei Pengfei heard something different from the other party’s mouth. He was holding 1,120 pounds tightly in his hand. Could it be that he would have to pay back 120 pounds?

When Wei Pengfei thought of these fascinating banknotes, he was so distressed that he thought about it. "Fujita, I have another news for you, which should be worth £120."

"Oh...please speak."

"That's right. Hongbao recently held a strategic meeting and has been closed for 5 days. All the participants are top-level bosses. Any information about the meeting has been strictly blocked, which is difficult for outsiders to detect."

Speaking of this, Wei Pengfei smiled proudly and looked at Fujita Hattori opposite him, meaningless.

"Please tell me Wei Sang, any information about this important meeting is worth 120 pounds." Fujita Hattori held this important information in his hand and was sure to make a profit, so he was simply more generous.

"Fujita, Wei admired it." After exaggerating, Wei Pengfei looked upright and said solemnly; "Based on the chief's words and borrowed materials analysis, I am sure that at this high-level strategic meeting, Hongbao focused on discussing the inheritance of the English-German German-Chinese bloodlines. This is related to the dispute over the orthodox nature of Western leaders and is of great significance."

"Oh...so that's really important information." Fujita Hattori looked serious.

This is like the "golden family" in Mongolia. Regardless of whether it is capable or not, the most important thing is whether the blood of the gold family flows, and whether it is pure? This is the only criterion for determining whether it is qualified to command the grassland nation, and there is no doubt.

The information covered so broad that Fujita Hattori cannot measure the value of the information, but at least £120 is definitely a great value.

"Congratulations to Wei Sang, this money belongs to you now."

"Is it true? This is great. Thank you Mr. Fujita, and of course you also want to thank you Yamamoto." Wei Pengfei held his fists and bowed with joy, then stood up and prepared to leave. "It's too late, so I won't disturb you."

"Please beg for your convenience, and the doors are open to welcome you at any time. Please remember my words, Fusang is your best friend."

"I will not forget, Mr. Fujita."

Seeing Wei Pengfei's figure hidden in the night, Yamamoto Ichiro, who had not made a sound for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask, "Fujita, I don't understand why I let him go. Alas, this is a thousand pounds! With so much money, we can develop more offline."

"I'm so painful, Yamamoto, this is a lot of money. I was originally planning to cheat the information out and did it, but the last information provided by Wei Sang made me change my mind temporarily."

“You mean…”

"Yosi, this is an information that I cannot measure value. It needs to be passed on to the adults to make decisions. If the Shangfeng requires closely following this matter, we must keep this important piece and let him continue to work for us. This is much more important than a thousand pounds, hehehe..." At this point, Fujita Hattori smiled sinisterly.

"Thank you Fujita for solving the problem, I understand." Yamamoto Ichiro bowed respectfully.

Dew late at night

Wangjiaji Town was shrouded in heavy night, and the surrounding area was silent, and the people in the town had already fallen asleep.

"Report to the chief, all signs indicate that Wei Pengfei has completed the intelligence transaction and has returned to his residence alone. The focus of surveillance is on this Fusang prostitute. Do you have any instructions? "

"Have you watched me all?"

"Please rest assured, the brothers are staring at each other with wide eyes, and they can't fly even if they keep a fly."

"Okay, you go down and continue to keep an eye on this prostitution. If there is any problem, you can ask."

"As for orders, sir."

This is a room where doors and windows are blocked, and there is no light coming out. Under the dim kerosene lamp, Guan Yue rubbed his eyebrows with a little tired expression, and looked up at another person in the room. This was Fan Wenshan, the deputy captain of the action team he appointed himself.

"Wenshan, what do you think?"

Fan Wenshan thought carefully and replied, "Chief, the situation in prostitution treatment that I saw was very complicated. No less than ten people who spent the night here will leave one after another before dawn, which puts great pressure on our comprehensive monitoring.

If you are not careful, you may get the target out of line, which will be a major loss that you and I cannot bear.
