The Two Heroes of the Ye Family

Chapter 229 Discussing Money

After returning to Hujiang, Ye Xiaoyang invited Ye Minghao directly to Villa No. 69 that afternoon.

The two brothers of the Ye family were communicating in the study.

"Brother, I don't think it will be long before the Japanese devils declare war on the United States."

Ye Xiaoyang directly stated his speculation.

"Yes! When I went to the Japanese Navy headquarters in Shanghai, I could clearly sense that the atmosphere there was unusual.

It's so mysterious, like something big is about to happen."

Ye Minghao expressed his feelings after his contact with the Japanese devils during this period.

"The Japanese devils are so arrogant, they'd better launch a surprise attack on Hawaii, America, as soon as possible.

The more people die in the United States, the stronger their determination will be to retaliate against the Japanese devils in the future.

The top leaders of the Japanese Empire have no idea how strong the industrial base of the United States is now.

To put it bluntly, war is fought over money and a country's basic industrial capacity."

"That's right. If that were true, the various forces in the country fighting against the Japanese invaders would be more confident.

The Japanese devils are an island country, and it is obvious that they have been struggling in attacking China in recent years.

If there were no traitorous lackeys like the Imperial Army in the country, the Japanese devils would probably have a much harder time.”

Ye Xiaoyang didn't want to continue the original topic.

"Second brother, I asked you to come here today to discuss something with you, about making money."

"Third brother, if you have something to say, just tell me directly."

"If war breaks out between the Japanese Empire and the United States, the Japanese devils stationed in Shanghai will definitely occupy the International Settlement."

"I've already thought about this. The Secret Service agents and Communist Party members hiding in the International Settlement will probably have an even harder time in the future."

Ye Minghao expressed his concerns, saying that both the Deep Blue Party and the Red Party were forces fighting against the Japanese devils.

Ye Xiaoyang ignored his second brother's feelings.

"We need to find a way to earn more gold and US dollars before the Japanese devils and foreigners react."

Ye Minghao didn't expect that his third brother Ye Xiaoyang proposed these things in order to make money. Geniuses really have different ideas.

"Old Three, tell me how to make money?"

“We tried our best to find a way to get a loan from Citibank in the International Settlement, and then turn the loan money into gold.

When the cruise ship that Big Brother has contracted arrives, we will ship the gold to the United States."

After hearing Ye Xiaoyang's words, Ye Minghao's eyes lit up.

"That's a good idea. Once the Japanese take over Shanghai Citibank, the borrowed money shouldn't need to be repaid."

"This time when I went to Fengtian, I borrowed more than 1000 million US dollars from Fengtian Citibank."

Ye Minghao didn't expect that his third brother had already taken action. He didn't have to pay back more than 1000 million US dollars. It was really generous.

"No wonder you got so much gold from Fengtian, it turns out you borrowed it from Citibank!

So, will your loan involve the headquarters of Citibank in the United States?"

After Ye Minghao sighed, he asked again.

"No, I agreed with them to return it within six months, and they will not send my loan certificate to the United States.

Besides, they can only send it over for record-keeping, and the loan-related information will be kept in Fengtian.

Given the greed of the Japanese devils, if the two countries go to war, all the American banks in China will be robbed."

"Third Brother, your deduction makes sense. The Japanese devils would definitely do that."

"Second brother, you have to find a way to borrow some Japanese yen from the Japanese devils' Bank of East Asia.

Then give me these Japanese yen and I will go to Shanghai Citibank to exchange them for gold or US dollars.

The repayment of the principal is set after five years.

If my guess is correct, the Japanese Empire will surrender within five years.

By that time, the Japanese yen will have depreciated significantly, and one US dollar will probably be exchanged for dozens of Japanese yen."

Ye Minghao immediately understood his third brother's plan, and now borrowed 1000 million yen and exchanged it into US dollars and gold.

After a few years, the Japanese yen will depreciate, and it will probably be enough to repay the loan with one-tenth of the current exchange rate for US dollars.

Of course, you can also refuse to acknowledge this loan. After the Japanese devils are defeated, you will not use this name again.

"Third brother, your method is good. The Japanese devils basically stole their money from us Chinese anyway.

If I have the chance to cheat some money back from the Japanese devils, I will certainly not hesitate to do so."

Ye Minghao's face was full of smiles.

"Brother, you can go to a few more banks to apply for loans. It should be no problem to borrow several million yen from each bank.

I also need to find a way to get more loans myself.”

"I understand. I have no psychological burden in taking the bank's money. Besides, this is their money in an aboveboard manner."

"Brother, after we get these loans, we have to find a way to get more money from the Jews in Hongkou.

Some of these people keep their money in Swiss banks, and can withdraw it with just an account number and password.

After the Japanese devils completely occupy Shanghai, they will also find ways to get money from the Jews."

Ye Minghao didn't expect that his third brother Ye Xiaoyang's mind would change so quickly. He even let go of the Jewish money.

"Third brother, isn't this inhumane?"

He felt a little bit sorry, after all, the Jews did not bully the Chinese people in this land of China.

"Brother, don't sympathize with the Jews. Do you remember the Opium War of 1840?"

"Remember, this is the beginning of our China's decline."

"Do you know where opium comes from?"

"The British East India Company! Didn't our teacher tell us about it when we were little?"

Ye Minghao thought his third brother's question was very strange, but he still answered patiently.

"Second brother, the real owner of the East India Company is the Jews. The Jews let the British Empire bombard China."

"Third brother, is this true?"

"Of course it's true. There's no need for me to slander Jews. Jews are not good people."

"How do you say this?"

"Do you know why the German Reich's leader expelled the Jews?"

"Third brother, don't test me. How would I know this?"

"The Jews were rich. They sold a loaf of bread for 50 marks."

"How much do you say a piece of bread is?"

Ye Minghao showed a surprised expression.

"Second brother, you heard me right. Five hundred thousand marca for a piece of bread. They are a bunch of vampires."

"If it is true, then the Jews deserved to be expelled or massacred by the German Empire."

"So I want to get the money from these Jews. If they don't give it to me, maybe I..."

Ye Xiaoyang made a throat-cutting gesture.

"Old Three, what do you say? I'll listen to you."

"Brother, I will come forward to negotiate with them and ask the Fujia Japonica Rice Processing Factory to keep more rice.

We should also save some salt so that we can trade with them for these necessities of life in the future."

"Third brother, I'll listen to you."

"Second brother, after the Japanese devils stationed in Shanghai occupy the International Settlement, they probably won't kill these foreigners."

"That's right. The Japanese devils should abide by the Geneva Convention towards foreigners. It's sad to think about it."

"There's nothing to be sad about. This world is a world where the strong prey on the weak. When China becomes strong one day, we can fight back. It's fair and reasonable."

Ye Minghao thought about it and this seemed to be the truth.

"That's true. A strong country is the only way forward. Expecting the kindness of others is not a good idea."

Ye Xiaoyang expressed his views.

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten. China has gone through thousands of years of history, and the situation of being beaten will be reversed sooner or later."

“But what if those in power are selfish?”

"We should do what we can. China has no shortage of talented people with lofty ideals. Everything will be fine."

"Third brother, you are very optimistic."

Ye Xiaoyang didn't respond and smiled at Ye Minghao.

Ye Minghao suddenly remembered Ye Xiaoyang's throat-cutting gesture just now, and also thought of the ghost that appeared in Fengtian to claim his life.

He estimated that this ghost was most likely related to his third brother, and maybe he himself was one of them.

"Third brother, is that you, the ghost who's taking my life?"

"Second brother, why did you think of me?"

"It was the throat-slitting gesture you made just now, and the ghost that appeared in Fengtian demanding your life, and you were in Fengtian at that time."

Ye Xiaoyang gave Ye Minghao a thumbs up.

"Brother, you can't tell anyone about this. After all, what the ghost did was a bit out of line."

"Third Brother, I don't think it's out of line. Ever since the ghost appeared, the traitors in Hujiang have become much more restrained.

A single leaf can reveal the coming of autumn. I think the traitors and lackeys in the enemy-occupied areas would be terrified by the existence of the ghost that seeks death."

"Second brother, do you really think so?"

"Third brother, are you afraid that our father will know about your behavior and think you are too cruel?"

Ye Xiaoyang felt a little embarrassed.

"The family rules of the Ye family in Gusu City do not accept this kind of behavior. After all, they killed the elderly, women, and children.

But I have my own idea. If the families of the traitors and running dogs are not wiped out, they will not be afraid from the bottom of their hearts.

In my opinion, the women, children and the elderly in the families of traitors and running dogs are not innocent.

These people enjoyed the wealth and glory brought by their relatives being traitors and running dogs.

Now they are paying with their lives for all this wealth and glory; it must be the cycle of cause and effect."

"Third brother, I think so too. Anyway, I know this matter by myself and won't tell anyone."
