Chapter 890 Silver Trading
Lin Zhenping talked with Lin Mo for a while and finally got to the point. He opened the large safe and opened the small safe inside, and pushed the paper pages of information collected from it to Lin Mo.
"This is a record of relevant transactions in the silver trading market in the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as some information about silver trading from the United States and Britain, as well as daily price fluctuations in the market, etc., which are very confidential and important information."
Lin Mo pressed the information under his command and did not check it immediately. Instead, he asked: "How did these messages be sent back? Are the arrangements properly?"
Lin Mo could see at a glance that the genre of the text on the head paper must be interpreted secret messages, and nearly one-third of the paper used below are consistent with this. It is estimated that most of them are also telegrams. Such a large number makes Lin Mo a little worried about whether he would miss something.
"Don't worry! The family still considers all aspects and arranges them very well. Most places will also arrange and implement them according to your requirements.
The normal market news in the UK and the United States is currently for the Lin family to send back normally. This matter was made after the bill was passed, and the silver price in Shanghai began to rise. We only started to do it after investing in a batch of silver spot. The behavior is very reasonable and there is no problem.
As for the past, there were not many major changes in the market at that time, and some situations were also small, and more sensitive information such as trading situations and price trend fluctuations could be sent back regularly.
As for the secret communication channels, the information set up can be said to be nine turns and eighteen turns. The relevant information from the United States is sent to South American countries using secret radio stations written in French, Dutch, Western and Portuguese, etc., and the language used by the receiving country will not be consistent with the use of secret telegraphs, which will minimize the possibility of being listened and deciphered as much as possible.
Then, we look for post offices that can shoot and send multinational telegrams but have poor management or some tricks. We usually use submarine cable cables to avoid being listened to by people.
The language will be changed here again, and the receiving location is in Mexico, and the UK also adopts this method, but at the same time, it will be sent to another country in South America, and finally try to use wired telegrams to collect the situation to Mexico.
At this stage, we mainly sell the transaction situation, market news and other special circumstances. As for price fluctuations, we can directly obtain it locally.
Mexico produces more silver than the United States, and it is still using silver coins, which is close to Britain and the United States. It pays more attention to this matter than we are. Before the bill is passed, you can use a little snack to get the silver price trends in the two places that day through semi-public channels. Some news is even made known to people from both countries through this.
When the bill was officially passed, the rise in silver prices in the two places strengthened, and the rise and fall of silver prices in the two places were directly publicly reported, and there were even a large number of interpretations and predictions, etc., which brought great help to the investment in the two places by collecting various information locally.
As for the subsequent transmission process, it is to send Honolulu through a secret radio station and then forward it to the Philippines. There are also irregular coding in various languages to use anti-deciphering.
Then it is forwarded to other places in Southeast Asia or sent directly to Hong Kong. At this time, it will be directly encoded in Chinese, but we have asked professional people, word order, intonation, and wording, which will have some Japanese style characteristics.
Some people who appeared in the middle would inadvertently reveal some Japanese habits. The last one was considered the last misleading. I think this arrangement should be enough to ensure that we will not be found in a short period of time.
After the message is transmitted to Hong Kong, it will not be transmitted through telegrams. If there is an emergency, use the bank radio station to inform and remind people in code language to make some preparations. The handling of these situations will be carried out by people from Hong Kong.
In fact, it is not appropriate to deal with it. It is on the other side of the earth. If there is an emergency, we can't help much. But when the situation is really urgent, we will help you find a way to get the money as much as possible to avoid the losses being too serious. This is more convenient for Hong Kong to operate, and we can help a little bit. Fortunately, everything is basically going well now.
In addition, the people who handle all links are loyal and trustworthy family members, and except for a limited number of people, they are not sure what they are passing on. Knowing most of the situation, there are only a few of their own family members on the entire line."
After hearing this, Lin Mo was basically relieved, but he was a little curious and said, "Is there so many people in the family? They are all kinds of languages and all kinds of coding?"
"...It's not as good as you think..." Lin Zhenping shook his head and explained: "Most of the people who can arrange things are those who have worked in business before, with a flexible mind, knowledgeable knowledge, and good at dealing with people, etc.
The Lin family used to do import business and did a lot of different things. People from all countries may encounter those who are capable of making a name for themselves and are selected. They know some foreign languages and are not very proficient in speaking, but they can understand simple ones, speak, and know words. Everyone basically reaches this level.
Although there are differences in languages and words in Western countries, there are many connections, and some are not even very different. With the help of dictionaries and other dictionaries, it is not a problem to be able to understand and interpret similar languages by mastering one subject. Moreover, our secret information is still more concise and clearer than the numbers, and we really can't understand it and cannot translate it. It doesn't have much impact when sent to the next place as it is.
As for passwords, it is actually just to choose some books, use some digits such as book numbers and codes to identify them, and then select the corresponding books after receiving the secret message. Compared with the translation, it is very difficult to crack them as long as you exchange them frequently, and it is completely enough for us to use them.
Moreover, those countries are relatively peaceful and do not strictly control radios. The most important thing is that radio applications are still widely used. There are so many public and commercial private ones in all aspects and industries. In fact, it doesn’t sound realistic, so there is no need to worry too much about this."
Lin Mo nodded. This is indeed reasonable. There are not many cheap listening and recording methods nowadays, and they are not specific targets. The chance of being used in this method is extremely low, but there is nothing wrong with being careful.
After all, it is related to most of their belongings, and the interests involved are absolutely huge enough, so it is not too much to be cautious. This is part of the reason why Lin Zhenping explained a lot of things in detail.
As for whether Lin Mo knows this, we don’t need to worry about it. Anyway, he just needs to know the process arrangement!
Lin Mo roughly looked through the information and asked: "Uncle Ping, are there any more detailed records of the price increase information, and newspaper reports related to silver transactions explain these things with more detailed information?"
"…Some..." Lin Zhenping nodded and replied: "But the fastest time will be ten to fifteen days late, so it will be delivered by mail, which is almost the fastest. It is also delivered by air mail, but there is no trans-ocean plane. It will take a lot of time to use shipping in the middle. It was sent back once every five days after the normal trading period. Now the situation changes quickly, and it will be delivered once every two or three days."
Lin Zhenping went to get Lin Mo the detailed information, and Lin Mo gave him a few pieces of white paper, preferably a large blank drawing paper, and a pencil, a ruler.
Cai Zhenping did not draw or write, but he really had drawing paper in his office. He took it and gave Lin Mo a knife. This thing was the best paper used to be supplied to the royal family and important officials, and it was a bit weird in the ages. It was usually used to give it to artful customers or people who were originally elegant people to maintain their relationships.
Things are not easy to work with, but they are not a big deal. They are placed in the office just to take them out from here and raise the value of these things.
Lin Mo was not energetic, and he was concerned about the things he had. While reading various materials and information and recording them, he chatted with Lin Zhenping in a random manner. He was obviously very interested in the content of financial derivatives trading such as stock investment, various options and futures contracts, and also learned a lot in advance. Some of them were all sets of theories, which made Lin Mo stunned.
After chatting for a while, Lin Mo asked: "Uncle Ping, can you tell me about the situation at important nodes of the silver price trend? For nodes, they are events that have a significant impact on the silver price and integer prices."
"It is to use these nodes to divide different periods and analyze them, as well as the events that have a great impact on the silver price on these nodes?"
Lin Zhenping immediately understood the meaning of the words, but he still asked out loud. He began to organize language after seeing Lin Mo nodding.
"The two incident nodes with great influence are the passage of the bill and the beginning of the purchase of silver. A lot of things happened around these two points. I mainly focus on events and interspersed with prices.
After we used the money and got the investment account, we began to buy silver-related investment categories in a small number of times. For a short period of time, the silver price generally rose slowly, and the rise and fall in the middle were very small.
By about a month before the vote of the Silver Act, the increase in silver prices began to increase. At that time, market news was generally optimistic about the passage of the bill. We estimate that some people may have roughly judged the final result, but they have not been completely determined, but some people are optimistic about investing a lot of money in it.
In the first few trading days of the bill's vote, the silver price exceeded fifty cents from time to time, but it has been hovering around fifty cents. Because the minimum purchase price of silver in the bill is above fifty cents, there should be a lot of information, or it may be sold when it is better, resulting in the price not rising.
After the bill was signed and passed, the silver price rose sharply, exceeding 60 cents in just a few trading days, but then the price rose sharply and fell sharply, once falling to fifty-five cents. It is estimated that some people were worried that the government would regret the contract and not fulfill their promise to buy the silver.
After about half a month of hovering around sixty cents, it began to rise rapidly again, breaking through seventy cents in about half a month, and then it broke through eighty cents in early August more than ten days later. By the time of purchase of silver, it had risen to about eighty cents.
