Chapter 134 The Gold Standard



"How do you know them and their private information?" The old man listened from beginning to end and rarely interrupted.

"It's help from my father, your son!" After thinking about it, Lin Xingchen decided to tell the old man the news.

"Didn't he die?" A trace of sadness appeared on Green's face.

"Yes he is indeed dead as we thought, but he exists in another way and is now strong enough to protect our existence."

"Don't worry, Grandpa! He may appear before you in the form of a god soon, so don't be sad."

"The most urgent task now is to develop the Earth Bear's former lair. Everything in it is a treasure. Once we develop it, it will become capital for the future.

Another thing is that the Maple Leafs have enough technical reserves now, and I plan to make the next step to fully develop our advantages. "

As Lin Xingchen's opinions spread out of the Duke's Castle, countless people flocked in. Those older generation businessmen may have retreated to the second line, but they all paid attention to the news released by the Duke of Maple Leaf Territory.

Although it is the season when the mountains are closed due to heavy snow, trains are enough to change the way people travel. Many businessmen have bought tickets and rushed to Maple Leaf Territory to prepare for the latest policies of Maple Leaf Territory.

The Maple Leaf Territory's main station in the city was crowded with people during this period, and the coachmen were all smiling as they pulled passengers back and forth.

Charles pointed at the crowd under the window and gave Lin Xingchen a general introduction to the situation: "Now 80% of the hotels in the entire Maple Leaf Territory are full. There are only three days left until the final date you set last month. I estimate that many people may not be able to come by then."

"For all the people who have arrived, make sure they have a place to rest and stay. Don't let them freeze in the Maple Leaf Territory. Winter is not easy. As for those who haven't arrived yet, there's no way to release the news in October. If they don't come, I can't wait for them."

"Have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare? Don't let it get in trouble if you are too late to spread them out."

"Don't worry, young master! I went to find Gaoge and the others after receiving your message. The goblins have been prepared in this regard for a long time, so they produced the first batch in just half a month. According to their own repeated verification, they can absolutely guarantee that it is foolproof." Charles replied confidently.

"That's good! This chaotic way of trading gold and silver should be ended. As long as our plan is successfully implemented, Maple Leaf Territory will have an extra layer of security."

Many people don't know how to describe the development of Maple Leaf Territory, but businessmen have their own opinions. One of the earliest chamber of commerce presidents in Maple Leaf Territory joked with his peers in this way.

"If you want to know whether Maple Leaf Territory is developing well, you only need to see whether their conference rooms are getting bigger and bigger. From the time when they could barely accommodate about a thousand people to now accommodating more than 10,000 people, this is the development process of Maple Leaf Territory."

Although it was meant as a joke, it also proved how dedicated Maple Leaf Territory was in building construction. Lin Xingchen walked into the conference room with Charles, Anasta and other important leaders of the territory.

The originally noisy conference room became quiet. Charles, as the Minister of Commerce, first interacted with everyone, and finally handed over the main purpose of today's lecture to Lin Xingchen.

"Everyone... I won't introduce myself. I called you here today because there are some new policy changes in Maple Leaf Territory. If you can find your own business opportunities in them, I wish you a prosperous business in advance."

"Without further ado, I know that many people are envious of the trains in my Maple Leaf Territory. In the past, I was traveling due to some issues, so Her Majesty the Queen also refused to allow me to leave the train.

But now I'm back, and after communicating with Her Majesty the Queen, we plan to start a train export project. Maple Leaf Territory and the Empire will invest in the company with train technology and subsequent maintenance services. If you are interested in building railways in your own country, you can go to the Maple Leaf Territory's Ministry of Commerce to get a sample contract.

Maybe you think some things are unreasonable and inappropriate, but everything can be negotiated and business is done through negotiation, right? "

"The second thing is also something that Maple Leaf Territory has been planning for many years, and that is ocean shipping trade. Now Maple Leaf Territory already has enough large ships to build ocean routes. Compared with train transportation, there may be some shortcomings in this aspect for the time being, but for many things we need to look at the long term, don't we!

According to the current loading capacity of ships, the maximum cargo they can carry is 50,000 tons. However, this is not our limit but our trial. Perhaps we will do this after we are familiar with the waterway and have trained enough sailors.

Ships of 300,000 tons will also appear. Although trains can drag millions of kilograms of cargo forward, after all, the current railways are limited, and it takes time to build railways on the mainland, so it is time for ocean trade to come into being.

If you are interested in this, you can go to the Ministry of Commerce to find out more. I believe Charles will explain it to you clearly. "

"Now let's talk about the third most important thing. I hope everyone can listen to me quietly and slowly. Nowadays, when you go to various kingdoms or places to do business, you can't avoid an important issue, which is gold coin trading.

To be honest, although pulling a large cart of gold coins looks comfortable, it is actually very dangerous. After all, many places on the continent are not as peaceful as my Maple Leaf Territory and Kulma. "

“Moreover, the gold coins of different countries have different values. In some places, the gold coins are not pure enough, and the size and thickness are not uniform, which will affect your income.

I think this is inappropriate because it has caused trouble for our bank settlement and everyone, so I want to use another method to solve this problem. "

"I call this approach the gold standard, and it can effectively help you solve many of the problems you face.

In order to make everyone clearly understand how the gold standard works, I would like to invite ten friends to demonstrate the feasibility of this system. I wonder if there are any friends who are willing to come forward and demonstrate it for everyone! "

"I'll do it..." A fat man weighing at least 200 pounds stood up suddenly. When he stood up, he knocked over several people around him in the already crowded place.

"Hahaha... my friend, don't get excited. Please come over slowly and don't cause trouble to our friends around you!" Seeing the fat man, Lin Xingchen smiled and joked with him.

Ten volunteers were quickly selected, including young and old, fat and thin, male and female.

"Everyone, these ten friends were randomly selected and not arranged by us! Now I will start to demonstrate to you."

"Please keep quiet during the presentation. If you have any questions, you can ask them on the spot, but please don't make any noise."

"First of all, as the Minister of Economy of Maple Leaf Territory and Kurma Empire, I would like to announce that we will issue a set of banknotes starting today. You can check under your seats. There is a set of ready-made banknotes."

After Lin Xingchen finished speaking, everyone rushed to take the wrapped banknotes under the seats, and the ten selected people were each given a set.

"If there are still friends who haven't received the banknotes, please raise your hands. Our staff will deliver them to you in time." Looking at the people below who had to stand because there were no seats and got the banknotes one by one, Lin Xingchen continued his demonstration.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the denominations of this set of banknotes are 100 yuan, 50 yuan, 20 yuan, 10 yuan, 5 yuan, 1 yuan, 50 cents and 10 cents.

At the same time as the paper money, one-yuan coins and fifty-cent and one-cent coins will be issued. The reason for this division is to allow everyone to be more clear about the amount of money when trading. "

“So I just said this is called the gold standard, and now I’m going to tell you how to use the paper money in your hand.

First, I will give a price for the gold coins produced by the Kurma Empire. For example, one gold coin can buy 200 kilograms of grain. Through comparative calculation, we can equate one gold coin to a hundred yuan note, which is the note with the word "hundred" written on it in your hand. "

Everyone took out the 100-yuan bill one by one. "Everyone, we will divide this 100-yuan bill into 10 ten-yuan bills. In this way, each ten-yuan bill is equivalent to one-tenth of the value of the gold coin."

"At this time, if you want to buy some cheap things, you can just pay with a ten-yuan note, and if you need to buy something even cheaper, you can split it.

Until you think it cannot be split anymore. The purpose of doing this is to make the currency accurate and simple. I know that many people here buy and sell things mainly with gold coins, but rich people like you are actually a minority.

You may find this set of currency a bit cumbersome, but what happens next is related to you.

I said before that you all use carts to pull several carts of gold coins for transactions, which is too dangerous. You know better than me how many carts are needed to pull one million gold coins, and I can tell you that one million banknotes weigh less than 20 kilograms.

At this point, Lin Xingchen clapped his hands. A staff member carrying a huge suitcase walked up to the podium. "Lin Xingchen patted the suitcase in the man's hand. Here is the banknote worth 100,000 gold coins."

"This not only makes it smaller and easier to carry, but it is also more convenient for everyone.

For example, if you have made money and need to bring it back to your country, you only need to exchange the money for gold of equivalent value. "
