It was a tie.
However,
they couldn’t completely let it slide.
Otherwise,
the losses would continue.
Because the deadline for exchanging Myanmar Kyat with Asiadollar was at the end of the year,
there were still almost five months left. During this lengthy period, if those who produced counterfeit currency started up their Factory to print Myanmar Kyat in exchange, the loss wouldn’t be substantial, but they couldn’t just turn a blind eye.
Indian counterfeit currency
has a wide range of sources.
According to the fighters’ investigation,
at least six gangs within India
had the capability to print "real" Rupees, and only one gang was capable of printing "real Myanmar Kyat". Thus, if they could cut off this source, the scale of existing Myanmar Kyat counterfeit currency would be controllable.
As for the counterfeit Asiadollar.
Hmph.
It wasn’t that Tang Qing looked down on them.
With the anti-counterfeiting technology of the Asiadollar,
only the great powers could replicate it, and these countries wouldn’t stoop to such actions. Even if replicated, given the anti-counterfeiting technology of the Asiadollar, the cost would be higher than its face value.
Moreover,
each high-denomination Asiadollar had a unique identification code. Once it went through a banknote counter, it would be recorded in the Banking System. If there was even one bill that didn’t go through the depositing and withdrawing process, an alert would be triggered.
In other words,
for counterfeit Asiadollars,
first, the number couldn’t be new, as all large denomination notes had unique identification codes.
Second, even if old numbers were used, they couldn’t be deposited in the bank; if a bill with the same number entered a bank, and the backend showed that nobody had withdrawn this bill from the bank or ATM, then it would trigger a thorough investigation.
Thus,
the circulation of counterfeit bills would be greatly restricted.
As soon as one appeared,
an alert would be triggered, and then they would find out who deposited it, and trace back to the source of the money. Even if they ultimately couldn’t find the source, it would significantly increase the ’distribution’ costs of such gangs.
To further control the circulation of counterfeit money,
going forward,
all nationwide banknote counters would start connecting to the Bank Network. In this way, any counterfeit bill wouldn’t pass any banknote counter in the country, thus breaking the first link in their circulation chain.
Tang Qing didn’t believe anyone would dare make counterfeit Asiadollar anymore.
...
Command Room.
Tang Qing stared at the projection.
It displayed an Indian paper mill.
Due to significant pollution and inadequate processing technology, the land surrounding this paper mill was basically polluted beyond recognition—a common sight in India.
Across India’s towns and villages, even the slums of Mumbai,
sewage flowed unchecked.
Garbage littered everywhere.
In short,
India was audacious.
There was a saying that India’s heart could contain the entire universe. Although it was a joke, there was some truth to it; however, it also exposed the inefficiency of the Indian government.
Who wouldn’t want to live cleanly?
Who wouldn’t like green mountains and clear waters?
But,
India... never mind, too many issues.
This paper mill was still brightly lit at night, and there were people around all the buildings. Its basement housed the underground factory that was capable of and indeed had produced high-quality counterfeit Myanmar Kyat.
On the projection,
information about this gang appeared; they were a local unlawful power with firearms, nearly three hundred people strong, a local powerhouse. Even the local Indian police had to show them great deference.
These guys,
on the one hand, they produced paper and printed, and on the other hand, they engaged in counterfeiting Rupees. As a gang with ’technical strength’, their counterfeits were almost indistinguishable from the real ones. Moreover, most had not entered the market.
Where did it go?
---Sold.
Sold to whom?
Those who needed to bribe in India.
Once those people received the money,
many dared not spend it.
They just kept it at home or hid it away. As long as there was demand, there was a market, hence, the ’umbrellas’ these guys built with that money gave them significant power locally, and their clients were all big customers.
Forging money was not even their main source of income.
It didn’t even account for two percent.
Printing money.
It was merely their way to ’unite all forces that could be united’; on the one hand, it reduced their ’Public Relation’ costs, and on the other hand, it expanded their network—a very economically savvy force.
Through these connections,
their other local businesses were thriving.
They had been lawless for many years.
Suddenly,
a new image appeared on the current projection.
It was in an office inside a three-story building at the paper mill, captured by the passing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). An Indian man, dark-skinned, was sitting in front of stacks of brand-new Myanmar Kyat.
Judging from the denominations,
they were worth at least two million Asiadollars.
Ha-ha.
Indeed ’highly skilled’, even at night, the UAV clearly captured some details of the Myanmar Kyat on the table. The craftsmanship was indeed impressive; these people were quite talented.
Tang Qing checked the time.
"Proceed according to the plan."
"Yes, Commander."
Tonight,
Tang Qing planned to take down this place.
In doing so, before the Myanmar Kyat were completely withdrawn from the market, the issue with counterfeit bills could be controlled. Usually, he only cared about the results of such tasks, but he was in a good mood today, so he decided to watch.
The reason for the good mood.
Today he finally completed Achievement Task (2). His information now read:
Name: Tang Qing.
Level: 8
Experience: 10250/12800
Withdrawable Assets: 66.666 million
Spirit: 918
Physical Fitness: 1000
Origin Qi Value: 0
Exchangable Foreign Currency: U.S. Dollar, Euro, Yen, Ruble, Thai Baht, Myanmar Kyat, Rupee.
...
Last August, he rose to Level 8.
Until this August,
It took nearly a year, and he was still far short of the experience needed to reach Level Nine. Fortunately, the task achievements had finally refreshed, losing the regular loan tasks, leaving achievement tasks as his only source of experience.
Over the past year,
the changes had been significant.
Even though progress was slow, he was about to unlock the Level Ten Gene Lock. It might not sound very impressive, just ten times more than Level One, but only Tang Qing knew how powerful it really was.
In the coming time,
he just needed to diligently complete the third phase of achievement tasks. Thinking about their content made Tang Qing feel like it was a long road ahead, these tasks, tailored specifically for him, were not easy to complete.
The requirements had increased by more than tenfold.
---Foreign Asiadollar Reserves.
---Issuance.
---Deposits.
---Loans.
---Branch numbers.
---Tier One Assets.
It was still the above six items, and completing them all would be extremely difficult, such as storing loans; just within Myanmar alone, it was impossible to generate that many effective loans, forcing him to accelerate the internationalization of the Asiadollar.
Fortunately,
the situation had stabilized now.
Everything was on track.
As long as they followed procedures, these tasks were not difficult, possibly completed within one or two years. If tangled in complex international disputes, facing off with Western developed countries, it might take three, five, or even ten years.
The future.
Was not smooth sailing.
However,
no matter how big the storms were,
they could not overturn Tang Qing’s increasingly colossal ship.
