Chapter 119: Three Days to Print 10 Billion Euros!

"Rat-tat-tat!"

The moment the gunfire rang out, Karl also pressed the alarm at the first opportunity!

The next second!

Inside the massive Yinchaochang, alarm sirens blared everywhere at once!

Immediately following, every entrance and exit of the entire building, including the windows, was sealed tight by steel plates several meters thick!

These steel plates completely cut off all contact with the outside world!

Those outside could not get in, and those inside could not get out!

The special police officers patrolling outside had just been about to react upon hearing the gunfire when they were blocked outside by the thick steel plates!

"Rat-tat-tat!"

Following that, Chu Chen fired another burst toward the bank's ceiling.

After bringing the situation on the scene under control, he aimed his gun at the crowd and spoke in very authentic Italy, saying:

"Excuse me, everyone, I have some bad news to tell you: from this moment on, this place has been taken over by me!"

"Rat-tat-tat!"

"Ahhhhh!"

Accompanied by another burst of gunfire, the crowd lying on the ground erupted into shrill screams once again.

Just at this moment, Karl, having finished setting the bombs, also herded all the hostages to the center of the main hall.

Since it happened to be the weekend, many of the leaders of the Yinchaochang had not come to work; only some employees working overtime were still at their stations.

There were not many people, only a dozen or so in total, along with some security guards.

Karl knew all of these people.

But because he was wearing a mask, he was not recognized by anyone.

After herding these people to the hall, Karl went to the lounge, pushed over the two suitcases, and placed them in the middle of the hostages.

Seeing this, Chu Chen said:

"Everyone, before everything officially begins, please change into the clothes in the suitcases first. During this process, I hope you can cooperate; otherwise, what I do will surely make you remember this for the rest of your life..."

The people of this world had never experienced a scene like this at all.

After a few bursts of bullets, they were already scared out of their wits!

How could they dare to resist? They could only obey obediently and, under Karl's supervision, change into the exact same clothes and masks as them.

When all the hostages had changed their clothes, Chu Chen decisively took a small medicine bottle from his own pocket and personally fed the small pills inside into everyone's mouth.

The whole process went quite smoothly; almost no one resisted.

"The pills you have swallowed are not ordinary pills; each one contains a Micro-bomb inside..."

Hearing this, everyone began to retch frantically, wanting to spit them out!

But unfortunately, it was too late; no matter what they did, they had no way to spit out the pills they had just swallowed!

Chu Chen did not pay any attention to them and continued to explain:

"The moment you swallowed the bomb, it already stuck to your stomach wall. Unless you use professional medical tools, it cannot be taken out. Rather than wasting your effort like this, you might as well calm down and listen to my suggestion."

"I have tested the power of the bomb; as long as it explodes, it can definitely send you to meet God. But don't be nervous yet; it won't explode for a while. It will only explode the moment the sugar coating on the outside is completely digested and stomach acid enters."

Hearing Chu Chen say this, the expressions on all the hostages' faces were extremely terrified!

"However, it takes at least four days for an adult's stomach acid to completely digest this sugar coating, so you still have plenty of time."

"The method to remove the bomb is very simple; you only need to take a black pill that can destroy the detonating device to avoid the explosion."

"For the next few days, as long as you can obey my orders, I can guarantee you won't die. This deal is quite fair, right?"

After he finished speaking, the entire hall was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.

At this very moment, all the hostages were keeping their heads down in silence.

Some were secretly wiping away tears, while others were trembling, making the atmosphere extremely tense.

Looking around at the crowd, Chu Chen let out a long breath and then nodded to signal Karl.

Receiving the order, Karl immediately took an A4 sheet of paper from his pocket and handed it to Chu Chen.

Opening the paper, Chu Chen smiled and then said slowly:

"Next, everyone who hears their name, please step forward."

"Meige Jiaaisi."

"Kelunweier Peiji."

"Habakake Luonade."

"Aogusitasi Kaixi..."

Every time Chu Chen read a name, one person would step out of the queue.

Without exception, these people were almost all staff members responsible for printing money at the Yinchaochang and technical workers responsible for logistics!

After the list was read, Chu Chen signaled Karl to keep a close watch on the hostages.

He then took all the staff members to the production workshop of the Yinchaochang and told them his plan:

"Now, everyone listen to me carefully. From now on, I need you to help me print 10 billion Euros within three days, and not a single note less..."

Hearing this, all the staff members were stunned!

But at this moment, under the pressure of staying alive, they could only accept this task.

"During these three days, if I find that the machines here have stopped running, you know the consequences."

As he spoke, Chu Chen shook the M4 in his hand, reminding every staff member to do their best to work for their lives, otherwise the gun in his hand would teach them a lesson!

"Do you all understand?!"

The next second, Chu Chen suddenly raised his voice.

"Understood..." all the staff members said in unison.

After they responded, Chu Chen raised another requirement:

"During the printing process, if there are any problems, you must report them to me immediately. In addition, all finished banknotes must have their serial numbers randomized; no consecutive numbers are allowed."

Hearing this, everyone nodded immediately like pounding garlic!

Seeing that no one had any objections, Chu Chen raised his voice again and said:

"Start work!"

Following his order, all the staff members immediately returned to their workstations and began printing money frantically!

There are three stages in the Euro printing process.

The first stage is Offset Printing, the second is Intaglio Printing, and the third is Large Sheet Inspection!

So-called Offset Printing is the printing of the basic patterns on the front and back of the Euro!

During the printing process, all banknotes will utilize anti-counterfeiting technologies such as Color Separation Overprinting!

After Offset Printing is completed, it is the second step, Intaglio Printing.

Intaglio Printing is actually about refining the details, including but not limited to numbers, patterns, text, and tactile lines.

By this step, a banknote is basically considered printed.

After that comes the final Large Sheet Inspection stage.

Large Sheet Inspection is actually quality control.

It is to see if there are any problems with the printed banknotes; if there are no problems, they can be cut and packaged!

Because it is a professional Yinchaochang.

Once such an assembly line starts moving, the efficiency is truly astonishing!

At this very moment, looking out at a glance!

On the huge conveyor belt, brand-new banknotes of various denominations are packaged into bundles almost every minute, dazzling to the eyes!
