Chapter 125 Who are you trying to scare?
The Kingdom of Miro was just a tiny country, but it was able to survive in the cracks of the war-torn dynasties because it engaged in business throughout the country and saved the country through finance.
While the man was testing her with his words, he also knew all about the tax policies of the Miro Kingdom, which was really difficult for her to deal with.
Su Shengsheng took out Bai Shangguo's version and calmed down. "Best of three."
"Manager Su, what you said means you agree to use Lu Ban's notes as a prize?" Ye Xin smiled at her.
"I do have something to hide. If you were working for Nanling, I might give it to you." She changed her tone, "But unfortunately, you are not."
Ye Xin's smile became even more seductive. "Since Shopkeeper Su said so, are you sure you will win?"
Su Shengsheng said, "How dare I be so arrogant? However, I have heard a rumor before."
Ye Xin gestured with her hand, "I'd like to hear the details!"
"If gold covered the ground, it would be regarded as gravel; if jewels filled the sea, they would be like sand. Similarly, if all knowledge were readily available, everyone would be a drop in the ocean."
Ye Xin's eyes flashed, "Manager Su, aren't you afraid that what you said will bring disaster upon yourself?"
Su Shengsheng smiled lightly, "Then let's see who will win!"
The other party threatened her with her family in order to find out her intentions, but she fought back by spreading the ancient book around the city.
In his eyes, something as precious as a jewel would be widely circulated and everyone would have a copy.
Even if he wins, it's useless...
If someone else had such a thing, they would want to hold it to death in their hands.
But for the person in front of him, it is uncontrollable.
Ye Xin seemed to know that she would do what she said, and the smile on her face finally disappeared.
Su Shengsheng snorted in her heart.
Did he think he could coerce her just by knowing what she was thinking?
Not to mention that he is a foreigner with impure intentions, and no one knows what he will do with it.
Even the painstaking effort he put into gathering information about her had already annoyed her.
Ye Xin put away his bewitching smile and turned indifferent: "Shopkeeper Su is so courageous, I underestimated him."
"Mutually." Su Shengsheng responded without hesitation.
While they were talking, their men were also busy.
Although Su Shengsheng was caught off guard by his series of psychological tactics in the second round, it is undeniable that this man is indeed not easy to deal with.
She couldn't help but be extremely alert and concentrate.
Ye Xin didn't waste any time talking and focused on the game.
When the Monopoly game begins, players obtain initial capital, and then rely on luck or strategy to start buying land and competing for wealth.
Upgrade your store, increase the rent, and move into a better location.
In addition to paying rent, there is also insufficient cash flow, borrowed loans and interest, as well as national tax penalties and other expenses.
Su Shengsheng originally thought that since this game was being played for the first time, the opponent would be slightly inferior to her.
Unexpectedly, he was also familiar with Baishang's financial system and could handle her offensive with ease.
This made her look solemn, and she didn't even look up when Qing Ning came in to bring her snacks.
By the end of the battle, Su Shengsheng's brows were furrowed, and so was Ye Xin.
This time, the contest between them was fair and evenly matched.
In the past, Ye Xin would never have believed that anyone could be on par with him in trade, let alone that the other party was a woman.
But today...
He looked at Su Shengsheng's solemn face and curled his lips.
Half an hour later, the match ended in a draw, but Su Shengsheng still frowned.
In the best-of-three match, he tied with her twice, with him only winning one game in between.
Ye Xin looked at her, sighed, and looked at the setting sun outside. He suggested, "It's still early, how about another round?"
Su Shengsheng came back to her senses in an instant and declined politely: "I have an appointment today, why don't we fight another day."
Ye Xin's eyes turned to her face, and he said with a hint of regret: "Whatever."
Su Shengsheng breathed a sigh of relief and stood up: "Excuse me."
Ye Xin stood up and looked at her with a smile, "See you another day."
After Ye Xin and his group left, Su Shengsheng immediately called over Bao Da, who had been temporarily summoned down the mountain by Bao Erge, and said, "Follow them."
…
Afterwards, Su Shengsheng hurried to the Xuanming Palace in Chiyan City.
After she gave her name, she was welcomed in by the doorman.
On the way to the study, Su Shengsheng was preoccupied and didn't notice that the palace was already full of red silk.
In the study, Xie Xuan led her to the seat of honor and said, "Miss Su, please sit down and discuss in detail."
After hearing this, Su Shengsheng just touched the edge of the chair and then stood up again in panic.
She frowned and looked at Xie Xuan, who was looking a little puzzled. "General Xie, a foreigner came to the teahouse today. I suspect he was involved in the use of counterfeit currency."
Su Shengsheng didn't beat around the bush and directly expressed his thoughts.
If you guess wrong, at most you'll make a fool of yourself, but if you guess right, there's no time to waste.
The curve at the corner of Xie Xuan's lips slowly relaxed. Feng Tong looked at her intently for a moment and said, "Tell me about it."
Su Shengsheng became even more uneasy when she thought that this person even knew the daily conversations between her and her family and used them to make a fuss.
So she told the whole story in detail.
The Baishangguo version of the Monopoly game actually borrowed from the real monetary system. It looks ordinary, but it actually contains hidden secrets.
There is a trading post on the border between Nanling and Baishang Kingdom for the two sides to trade horses, animal skins, grain and other items, but it will be closed indefinitely during the period of hostility between the two countries.
However, dozens of small countries such as Siam, Java, and Ceylon were not subject to this restriction and could trade with both sides.
The Monopoly game she developed has a currency system, and when reselling local specialties such as silk and clams, there is another settlement system.
In short, it is the foreign exchange rate.
Because the demands of different countries are different, the value of goods produced in different countries is also different.
In addition, the trading currencies of different countries are different, making the trading system more complicated.
She used a one-to-one restoration method and formulated it strictly in accordance with the national conditions of Baishang Country.
Now the relationship between the two countries has eased slightly due to the strong intervention of Beirong, and the market has reopened.
Nanling used tea and silk to purchase livestock and horses from Baishang Kingdom, and all payments were made in copper coins.
This would not have been a problem, but the repeated blockades of the market by both sides gradually made Baishang Kingdom realize that its trade system was too dependent on Nanling copper coins.
Therefore, the nobles within Baishang Kingdom and the officials of the Shang clan at the government level took measures to produce iron coins.
It wants to replace the circulation of copper coins in Baishang Kingdom in order to reduce the impact of Nanling copper coins on it.
The circulation of these iron coins was restricted in certain areas, and this was where the problem lay.
As the saying goes, every policy has its own countermeasure.
In order to make profits, some merchants take advantage of foreign exchange fluctuations to buy and sell in the monetary system, making money by buying and selling currencies.
This was an extremely secretive matter, but Ye Xin was so familiar with it that he didn't even have to think about it.
It's not that she is petty and can't afford to play that she slanders him.
But this game was created by her after all, even if Ye Xin is from Baishang Kingdom, or has frequent transactions with Baishang Kingdom.
Even if one knew this loophole, it would be impossible for him to be so proficient in this art.
In other words...
"Miss Su means that this person is familiar with the currency transactions of various countries and is capable of formulating a strategy for counterfeit currency trade."
Su Shengsheng let out a long breath, "That's exactly it."
