Chapter 63
"Sweet, you smile sweetly..."
The lights are already on in Tieshan City. This is the best private room in Tianxiang Tower. A singer is singing the most recent tune. In this Zhongzhou, the major brothels are the leading places. How can such a good song not be learned by these girls?
Although her singing voice is not as graceful as Liu Wuxia, it has a charming charm that makes people feel, which is another style.
Unfortunately, the four people sitting inside were a little absent-minded. When the popular girls in Tianxiang Tower finished singing, they politely applauded, and sent the attendants out of the door and began to talk about the important matters.
The head of the Jingnan Grain Association on the right is the chairman of the Chengjia Zhu Da, the Hengyang Sect, the third son of Liu Lishen, and the left is the two sons of the nine masters of Tiantong Sect, Hanahara Chun and Wang Jujun.
As the owners, Cheng Jiazhu and Liu Lishen both looked a little ugly. On the contrary, the two guests were more calm, showing the demeanor of a wealthy family.
It turned out that after they talked with Li Zisheng about the ticket dispute at noon, they immediately sent a letter to Jingnanliang to ask them to suspend the operation. No wonder Liu and the others looked a little unwilling.
Cheng Jiazhu coughed, picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Hua, Prince Wang, two great men are going to the Tieshan Mountain. I will not be able to welcome you from afar. I hope he will forgive me if I am rude. This cup is considered to be apologizing to the two 'noble people'."
Jun Hanahara and Wang Jujun are both people who have experienced countless intrigues. How could they not hear the dissatisfaction in his words? But it was precisely because they were sophisticated and well-educated that they picked up the wine glass with a smile and drank this glass with them.
Liu Lishen was a little younger and couldn't help but ask after drinking the glass of wine: "Two young men, what's wrong with your family now?"
Hua and Wang looked at each other, and Chun Hua Yuan turned around and said politely: "Don't misunderstand me, two of you. Our Tiantong Gate has always been based on integrity. How could we change our minds temporarily?"
"That's what happened today..." Liu Lishen said in a little dissatisfied.
Wang Jujun smiled slightly and said, "Mutuality is the most important thing in everything. Our two families had a fight with the Tie Family and the Tianqi Gate for business. I think it would be better to sit down and talk first."
Cheng Jiazhu's eyes twitched for a moment, suppressing the anger in his heart and said, "Young Master Wang said so much. How could we be willing to conflict with the Tieshan City Tie family, which was originally the Thirteen Fortress of Jingnan? But now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired."
Master Hua elegantly picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine, and then said, "President Cheng Da, you have the point. Jingnan is your hometown, so why bother with the local villagers? It's better for me to discuss with the Tie family first. If there is any disagreement, it's not too late for you to start again."
This sentence choked Cheng Jiazhu and Liu Lishen. They always said that they wanted to make a lot of money from the increase in salt prices this time, so that they could give an explanation to Jingnan, who was "in unison with each other".
President Cheng Da was extremely dissatisfied. His face was a little gloomy. He smiled a few times without a smile and asked, "I must have some support for this trip. I wonder if I can give you some advice, so that I can prepare."
In fact, the negotiations began on the day when Tie Wanshan announced in front of Chengjia Zhuhe Hanahara Chun that Tieshan City was only allowed to use iron coupons.
But the matter was not smooth from the beginning.
What Jingnan Grain Association was originally going to do was essentially no different from the Tie family. They were all about driving the food coupons out of Tieshan City and dominating the right to issue money in Jingnan. From this point of view, it was meaningless to choose such an ally in Tiantongmen. Even if they forced the Tie family to bow their heads, the two allies would have to do something after that.
So in the end, Tiantongmen sold all the salt on hand and this year to the Jingnan Grain Association. As for the scenes of monsters in the sea attacking the coast of Yangzhou... they can only be said to be "God's will".
The original wishful thinking of Tiantong Gate was to reach a mutual "benefit" agreement with Tiangui Gate, that is, the latter could still issue iron coupons, and even Tiantong Gate could help them exchange them in another place. However, food coupons should be accepted as currency under the jurisdiction of Tiangui Gate.
Such a mutual "benefit" agreement was naturally rejected by the Heavenly Artifact Sect.
Although Zhongzhou lacks professional financial talents, there are still smart people in the Tiangui Gate, and they can see at a glance the ill-intentionedness contained in this agreement.
This is like the agreement between China and the United States in our world. The dollar, a world-wide currency, can be circulated freely in China. Of course, China can also issue RMB in its own country. However, because the RMB is not a hard currency, it must be converted into US dollars first when used abroad.
Anyone who really reaches such an agreement with the United States will definitely be unable to escape the reputation of the traitor.
This is equivalent to giving up your own money issuance rights. One is the hard currency that is passed through Jiuzhou, and the other is the "stone" coupon that can only be used locally. If you think about it, you will know that the food coupons on the market will definitely be more popular than iron coupons.
In fact, the US dollar in our world is very similar to the food coupons in Middle China in terms of status.
However, the former was made by the United States. It took millions of young soldiers' lives to participate in two world wars and many local wars; while the latter can be said to be the product of the trendsetters of the times and the trend.
On the surface, countries with US dollars can purchase products from the United States, making exchanges with the United States an equivalent exchange. However, on the one hand, it is an important means of foreign exchange reserves for various countries. As the economy of various countries grows, reserves will gradually increase. For example, at the end of 2013, China's foreign exchange reserves increased to US$3.82 trillion, setting a new record high.
As the world currency, the US dollar must circulate in other countries in the world. The faster the world economy develops, the faster the total amount of circulation in various countries will grow. Therefore, from a partial perspective, US dollars continue to flow out or into the United States, but overall, the main thing is that the United States exports US dollars from the outside and imports physical wealth inward. This is the real reason why everyone sees that the US deficit is often the real reason.
Of course, if we are fair, and using the paper you printed out for real supplies, this kind of thing is really a high-tech job, and it cannot be done by just empty talk. The reason why the military expenditure of the US imperialists is so high that it is the sum of more than a dozen countries following behind is that the royal army is the basis for people to collect protection fees, so it is naturally not low.
This dollar, which has been stagnant outside the United States for a long time, is the "monetary tax" charged by the United States to other countries, which is actually the protection fee mentioned above. The United States can directly plunder other countries' wealth for free with the privilege of this monetary tax.
So the United States is desperately accusing other countries, mainly China, which has caused its deficit. This is the funny joke in the world. If the United States really exports more than imports, will it take back a lot of paper they printed on themselves?
Or, is it really like the name of Lei Feng that some "Americans Tonight" say?
Recently, Mr. Wang, Mao Yushi, the newly released top 50 economist in the world, has spoken again. The United States bullies us the least, but is regarded as the number one enemy by the foolish people, which is inexplicably.
It is simply inexplicable to say that an economist says such a thing.
The confidence of food coupons is not as strong as US dollars. After all, they have made it real tricks, and Tiantongmen’s tickets took advantage of the commodity economy to gain this position when it was in full swing in Central China.
In addition to the same status, what's interesting is that the US dollar and food coupons are actually private assets.
The US government does not have the power to issue currencies. If you want to get the US dollar, you must use the tax revenue that the US government can only collect in the future to mortgage it to the US Federal Reserve through issuing Treasury bonds; then, the US Federal Reserve will consider issuing "Federal bonds" based on the government's application. This is what people usually call "dollars".
On the surface, this famous Federal Reserve is still a private company despite the president being appointed by the president and approved by Congress!
The core of the Federal Reserve is the seven-member committee, 12 Federal Reserve banks, and the Open Market Committee. The 12 Federal Reserve banks are all private companies and are composed of major banks in their respective regions. Among them, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has the greatest influence and actually performs the functions of the central bank.
All members of the 7-member committee are from the banking and financial circles, appointed by the president and approved by Congress. They are mainly responsible for major monetary policies. The Open Market Committee is the executor of the decision-making of the 7-member committee, which mainly authorizes the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to implement specific operations.
The basic characteristic of the Federal Reserve is the industry association of financial oligarchs. Its highest decision-making power seems to be in the hands of the 7-member committee, but in fact it is still manipulated in the hands of financial oligarchs, because all the information and the infrastructure for making decisions are ultimately in the circle of bankers.
Even in the American political arena, some people have come out to accuse this financial "Leviathan (the monster in the Bible, originally intended as a giant crocodile)": some people think that the Federal Reserve is the government department of the United States and the nations, but in fact it is a private monopoly company. For the benefit of themselves, their foreign clients, domestic and international speculators and fraudsters, wealthy and greedy usury, to plunder the American people. Those dark financial robbers are those who hold their knives around the neck and take money from their pockets, those who go to the states to buy votes to control legislation. They are also those who control the international propaganda machine to deceive us into concessions to their past crimes and start new crimes.
By the way, the brave MP who made the accusation escaped several assassinations and eventually died of "heart failure" in 1936.
The Tiantong Gate here in Zhongzhou, Chixian County is relatively simple. It does not have any gimmicks of the committee, and it is actually not necessary. The nine masters who formed the Tiantong Gate simply represent the interests of Yangzhou, which is the most economically developed region in the southeast of Zhongzhou.
Unfortunately, this group of financial capitalists has not appeared for a long time, and I still haven’t realized that it is definitely not that simple to exchange the printed paper head for the digging of Yuanshi.
They didn't realize it, but Li Zisheng, who was bystanders, realized it.
Before he recovered his memory, he experienced a illusion about the Civil War. The American Civil War was a tragic war between northern industrial capitalists and southern planters, and the number of people killed in battle even exceeded the deaths of the US military in World War II.
The boy had long vaguely felt that there was an imminent war. This was also a major reason why he trained the young vanguard team and established the vanguard army.
At this time, of course he didn't know that there were demon gods outside Zhongzhou who were ready to move. He was guarding against the local forces in Jingnan who were eager to jump over the wall. Even if he was not a soldier of the Liberation Army, the clever Li Zisheng knew that there was no end to the nest after being destroyed. Moreover, his father and son had long stood opposite to the Jingnan Grain Association, which represented those forces.
Therefore, he was extremely optimistic about the negotiations between the two major heavenly gates, Tiantong Gate and Tianqi Gate.
But if you are not optimistic, Li Zisheng didn't really want these two families to have a Jingyang War.
Although he is a revolutionary and should be excited to face such a form, a real revolutionary must accept scientific materialism, and strength is strength. No matter how great the enthusiasm is, it cannot make up for the gap in strength.
Now I am just a little brat, and I am still in such a world of high demons and martial arts. Even if I popularize hot weapons to the followers of the mortals below, I am not a match for high-level cultivators and immortal masters.
The best situation is that these two "reactionary forces" both suffer losses, but what can weak people like themselves do in a chaotic situation? Even self-protection is a problem.
Since the time is not ripe, you should wait for it.
Li Zisheng gave a good idea to the two people in the Tiantong Sect, Hua Yuan Chun and Wang Jujun, with "sincere".
That is to ask the two of them to take out 100 million yuan of food coupons in their own name and invest in their own Xinyi Shuntang!
As mentioned in the previous document, Xinyishuntang is a joint-stock financial enterprise established by Tiewanshan's private investment of 40 million Tie Coupons and Li Zhaochang's "old" Yishuntang.
His family used the investment of these 40 million iron coupons to account for 40% of the shares. According to this calculation, the capital of Xinyishuntang should have 100 million iron coupons. Of course, the 60% of the shares of his father Li Zhaochang are mainly business places, business relationships, business methods and financial talents. Plus about 10 million yuan of funds.
In this case, Tiantongmen, of course, is openly Hua. Wang and the two companies, after investing 100 million yuan, can obtain half of the shares of Xinyi Shuntang after expanding their share capital.
Naturally, Xinyishuntang, which has obtained the investment in food coupons, can start a new business, that is, the exchange of iron coupons and food coupons.
To be honest, this child's plan to make a great comeback.
If it really happens, then his Xinyi Shuntang can be in the name of semi-official, namely Tieshancheng Tiejia and Tiantongmenhua and Wang, at least exclusively monopolize the exchange business between the two currencies in Jingnan. In this way, as long as you collect some processing fees, it will be a daily "stone".
Other benefits are even more.
First of all, if Xinyi Shuntang's equity has doubled for nothing, will the commercial credit companies that borrow money from outside worry about their own money?
Secondly, his own ticket number can also be linked to the tiger skin of Tiantongmen. This is like Xinyishuntang, which was originally a city cooperative, and now Citibank is Tiantongmen. Such a big guy announced a joint venture with him. That's not the increase in his value, which makes him, Mr. Li, a master, renamed it a little more.
Finally, Xinyishuntang can rush out of Jingnan and go to Yangzhou to open a semicolon. With the Yangzhou semicolon, will other places be far away?
Just like the loyal comrade-in-arms of Master Ma, Elder En, even if he is a capitalist, it does not mean that he cannot carry out a revolution. On the contrary, the stronger his revolutionary economic strength, the greater the hope for success in the future.
Of course, this matter is not the only thing that can benefit Xinyi Shuntang. Otherwise, who would do such a thing that can help others?
Tiantong Gate is actually the flower that presides over Tieshan City now, and the Wang Er family has also gained a lot of benefits.
Their cooperation with the Jingnan Grain Association was originally intended to break the situation where the food coupons were "banned" in Tiantongmen, Jingzhou. In fact, this food coupon was naturally "banned" and could not be used publicly.
Now that there is a private financial institution like Xinyi Shuntang, it means that both parties do not need to openly recognize the currency issued by each other, but they can also conduct various businesses through Xinyi Shuntang as usual.
In this way, Tiantong Gate will also have face and internal resources, and of course you will be able to make money even more profitable.
Speaking of individuals, Junhua Hanahara was unwilling to go against the Tie family, and his beloved wife and a pair of lovely daughters were still in Tieshan City. He was not a ruthless person who could "kill his wife to prove his truth". Why is it necessary to have an unhappy relationship with the Yue family? He must break up with Miss Tie San?
He is the first to agree that it can give both sides a step.
As for the king and prince, the situation is quite complicated.
In fact, his father, to be more precise, the power behind their Wang family is the most radical of the nine great masters, claiming that if the Heavenly Artifact Sect does not take back the iron coupons, it will be a real sign. However, Mr. Wang himself is not so radical, that is, he does not have such a high level of financial capitalist awareness.
Moreover, because of his childhood experience, he did not get along with his family so well. He never thought that he could do his duty to his family and that he could just get through it.
As a half-child of Buddhism, he is still a kind-hearted person who "God has the virtue of being alive."
In addition, he and Jun Huayuan have been having a good relationship since childhood and are unwilling to let his brother Hua get married.
So he was happy to see such a solution that was both good and did not object to it.
Prince Wang thought to himself that this could be considered as completing the mission of letting the food coupons "enter" Jingnan again.
These three people actually know that to really resolve the ticket dispute, it depends on the struggle between the Tianqi Gate and the Tiantong Gate. Jingnan is just a trivial matter and cannot dominate the overall situation at all.
What happened next was naturally to convince the Tiewanshan Tie Dacheng Lord.
However, these three people were from Lingsheng. They felt that there was no reason for him to object to such a plan, so they decided to hand over the matter to Li Zhaochang but persuaded him.
As for Jingnan Grain, the two young masters from Tiantong Sect have their own plans, otherwise how could they notify them to temporarily postpone the price increase of salt?
