Chapter 180: Exchange Rates

"Swell, you have the ability to go to Guangzhou, and let me sell electrical appliances with you. ”

Zhao Guangming put on a cheap smile again: "I still want you to give me a palm." ”

"Look, I want to make Uncle Fan happy and point you out. ”

Smile and smile, but Fan Yang still appreciates Lao Zhao's hand: "Then you left like this in the shop, rest assured?"

"I just have to hurry, I have to go back and stare at you after you're done. After speaking, Zhao Guangming secretly glanced at it: "Hurry up, the snow is about to melt." ”

Everyone chatted for a while, Fan Yang looked at the table below, it was almost 5 o'clock.

said: "Later, Lao Liu, you will arrange it, take them to eat seafood, and tomorrow's reception must not be negligent, I will also be there throughout the process, and I have been preparing for more than 20 days, this time only succeeds, not failures, you will organize people tomorrow morning, think about what is missing." ”

"What about you?" asked Liu Dingxin.

"I have to fly solo and eat this food. ”

Of course, no matter where he goes, Fan Yang will definitely bring a large army.

I went to Xiaowen of the exhibition company to say hello, and they had to work overtime tonight.

According to the address on the business card, it took more than half an hour to drive to the location.

This is the central business district of Lianyungang, at the southern end of the Longhai Railway in Xinpu District, and it is also the location of the pedestrian street with the largest flow of people in Lianyungang.

Behind is a square, the name is South Square, behind is the gymnasium, science and technology museum, Suning Plaza and Wanda Plaza will also be built at the south end of Longhai.

In a food street on the right side of the square, Fan Yang parked the car at the intersection, stuck his head out to look around, and looked around and found no restaurants.

"I'm blessed today, and this dish is very expensive. ”

Dajun pouted: "What is delicious about Xiao Yuben's things?" ”

"It's different, I used to say that my life was rough, but now it's different, it's still good to try it occasionally. ”

Fan Yang thought for a while: "However, if you want to say what you can really eat, it doesn't have to be, it's just that there are many patterns." ”

There is Kato Ping's mobile phone number on the business card, Fan Yang is not in a hurry to call it, he is not familiar with people, and it is best to step on the time to go in at 6 o'clock.

The two began to make small talk.

During this period of time, the army has grown up with a lot of knowledge.

There is a counterpart trade in this book, and a foreign trade company opened by Fan Yang, everyone chats and chats, and they can't get around themselves.

And he left a lot of impressions, rigid, polite, short, looped legs, strange hairstyle, and stiff conversation.

And then there's money.

The biggest feature is also that there is money.

The army was quite puzzled: "You said that this little book, wasn't it defeated at the beginning, why is it so good now?"

"It's mainly the United States, if it weren't for the outbreak of the Korean War, it would not have been possible to get up at all, it has a special geographical location, it is the cornerstone of the Asia-Pacific strategy of the United States, and it is the starting point of the first island chain, an unsinkable aircraft carrier, and the Cold War pattern. ”

"Then you say that the United States supported it?"

"Hmm. Fan Yang nodded: "At the beginning of the defeat, I was very miserable, the two atomic bombs, coupled with the previous bombing of Tokyo, said that the important seaport and industrial base were very badly damaged, worse than China, and the population was also seriously insufficient. ”

The army smiled: "Then why did he turn over again?"

"It's not caused by the war, at the beginning, the strategy of the United States for this was to completely avoid occupation and weaken the restrictions, and I said that I ********* that set is too frightening, have you ever thought about a question, if World War II is won, what kind of situation will the world become?"

The army was stunned.

He hadn't really thought about it.

Fan Yang said: "These things in history are too complicated, but the ending of World War II is still quite good, according to the ***** set, now we can't say what the situation is, no matter how he dominates the country, what ambitions are good, at least the democracy, freedom, and human rights advocated by the United States are still very good, which ensures the stability of the general environment, but the starting point is good, and it will change in the hands of politicians." ”

"It's too far, I don't understand, how did it develop?"

"War, the United States launched two wars in the Asia-Pacific region, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, China participated in both wars, both of which were defeated, and paid a high price, because of these two wars, the United States changed its policy on the policy, from restrictions to support, because the industrial base of the country is still very good, especially the military industry, heavy industry, whether it is technology, or equipment, are still relatively leading, as long as the reconstruction can be put into use, this period, for more than ten years, the United States has been investing money, the comprehensive reconstruction of the industrial system of the country, used to make weapons, the first period has come over。 ”

"The Korean War and the Vietnam War seriously dragged down the economy of the United States, and had to confront the Soviet Union, the military industry of the United States did not dare to let go, but the country did not have this concern, after the establishment of the United States, the security of the United States was responsible for the country, he did not invest in national defense, and vigorously developed the manufacturing industry, the second period of the export strategy of the Republic of China was carried out, and it became rich, and the third period, that is, China said that it established diplomatic relations, with such a huge market in China, the economy took off all of a sudden. ”

After speaking, Fan Yang did not forget to add a sentence: "I said that I have worked hard enough, but I am still inseparable from the general environment." ”

"What about Mi Guo?" Dajun asked again.

"What do you want to hear from the United States?"

"Money, of course it's money, are the people of the United States richer or do they say that they are rich?"

"Of course it's the United States, people can make money while lying down, and printing money is over, who can compare with him. ”

The army was amused: "Can you make money lying down?

Fan Yang smiled: "It's true, money, in the hands of you and my people, it is indeed money, which can kill people, but at the national level, it is not printed by itself, the country has a banknote printing factory, and there are banks that issue currency, he can print as much as he wants, and he can put as much as he wants, depending on the country's happiness and macro needs." ”

The army squeezed his head, and only felt that Fan Yang's words were interesting: "Print as much as you want?"

"Printing money is an internal affair, who can control you but yourself?"

"Hehe, interesting, no one cares about this?"

"Of course. Fan Yang saw that it was still early, chatted to Xingtou, and said with a smile: "Brother Jun, have you ever thought about a question, money, what is it?"

"Don't sell it, you really know about economics?" Dajun asked with a smile.

"If you know a ball, it's not all bragging, so I'll ask you if you believe it, right?"

"Believe, I don't believe what you say. ”

"That's right. Fan Yang shook out the cigarette case, handed one to the army, took one in his mouth, took out a hundred-yuan bill, lit the lighter with a snap, lit the money, and took a puff of the cigarette.

Hand it to the Great Army.

"It's extravagant. "The army also lit cigarettes.

Fan Yang's hand shook, and a puff of green smoke rose from the half of the burned coin, revealing the burnt black gold thread inside.

"It's called gold thread, but if you look closely, is there a little bit of gold on it?"

The army looked at it, and it was already charred and blackened.

"Made of synthetic materials, this thing is mainly an anti-counterfeiting mark, even if it is real gold, can it be worth 100 yuan? Impossible, do you know Marx?"

The army nodded.

"Marx once said that money is a tool for capitalists to exploit working people. ”

"It is indeed a tool, the ancient princes and generals, attacking cities and plundering land, after the establishment of the dynasty, the first thing to do is to print and distribute currency, but how to make money have purchasing power?"

"How?"

"In fact, to put it bluntly, it is very simple, salt, iron, the state monopolizes the means of production, you have to buy, you have to use this currency, banknotes have the initial purchasing power, and circulation value, and then, the exploitative nature of money comes out, the previous silver standard, the same reason, silver, silver mines, is not a state monopoly, copper coins, copper coins are still higher, constantly excavating, the treasury is piling up more and more, and then the state pricing, one or two silver, buy you 100 catties of grain, you tell me, this is not exploitation What is it?"

The army couldn't interject.

"Then do you think you will earn a tael of silver? A pound of salt, you will be charged the price of a tael of silver, in the end, the state 1 pound of salt, in exchange for you 100 catties of grain, this is the planned economy, the state pricing, can very accurately control the income level of the common people, education, collect you money, medical care, charge you money, birth, old age, sickness and death to arrange you clearly, but there is no money. ”

Two days ago, didn't you see Liu Dingxin holding "The Wealth of Nations" all day long, and Adam Smith made it clear that money is to exchange for your labor. ”

"After a month of hard work, two pieces of paper will send you away, and only money can make people pay 100% of their labor and only get 100 percent of their labor. ”

"And then you have earned this money? NO, the same arrangement for you is clear, clear, eat, drink, and throw it away, it's over, the money is gone, and you can only bury your head and continue to work hard. ”

"Hehe, yes, then you mean that the people have no money, and it is also caused by the state?"

"Of course, at the subjective level, any dynasty, even in ancient times, the country is rich, because the accumulation of wealth is very fast, first of all, a big premise, any wealth is created by labor, thousands of people create wealth, by the state, the government, with monetary and economic policies to control, and eventually flow into the treasury, the king is wise, the people's life is better, the king is mediocre, a few messes, the people will be miserable, there is money not to engage in national defense, internal and external troubles, and then it will collapse. ”

The army was deep in thought.

"Then you say that we ordinary people have no money now, and it is also the responsibility of the state?"

Fan Yang shook his head: "This period is different now, in modern society, national security is the most important, in the first few decades after World War II, there may be a war at any time, this is forced, there is no way, first of all, there is in the pot, there is only in the bowl, only when the country is rich and strong, the people's living standards will have a fundamental change." ”

Speaking of which, Fan Yang was still a little emotional.

At the beginning of reform and opening up, it was the peasants who suffered the most, and the peasants and workers during this period paid a lot of blood and sweat to jointly build New China.

And after the country became rich and strong, it did not forget the peasants.

By 2018, rural hukou was enviable.

All kinds of subsidies, all kinds of support, all kinds of burden reduction, but also help to repair houses, free medical care, full exemption of education, and the new rural cooperative insurance for rural household registration, all borne by the state, dozens of yuan a year, no matter whether serious or minor, 90 percent will be reimbursed, even if it is cancer.

Dajun asked again: "What about the rice country? His money is the world's currency, and we use US dollars for import and export, so isn't Niu B making a fortune?"

"yes, that's the truth. Fan Yang replied.

"And these countries will admit it?"

Fan Yang smiled: "This is where the rice country is Niu B, and he really let people all over the world admit it." ”

"Haha, how did he come up with it?"

Fan Yang smiled: "It's not by fooling, the United States is a big liar, he gathered 44 countries at the beginning, held a meeting together, he fooled these countries, promised that the dollar and gold are pegged, equivalent to gold, because the previous international trade was settled in gold, this is called the gold standard, Britain wants to buy weapons from the United States, the pound does not work, you want to print as much as you want, you are stupid to me?" You need 500 million pounds of tanks and planes today, but the printing factory is working at full capacity for a month, and you have to buy what I have worked so hard for years, who will do it?"

"So, World War II, the United States became the final winner, at the beginning he did not participate in the war, but his manufacturing and heavy industry, at that time was already the world's first, why? Because before the Second World War, there was a World War I, Britain, France and Germany, the three countries fought for decades, all imported equipment and materials from him, which boosted the economy of the United States, and after the First World War, the European economy declined, and the United States developed. ”

"Before the army attacked Pearl Harbor, even Yue himself was buying weapons and equipment in the United States, Germany was the same, and Russia was the same, and then after World War II was fought, a situation was created, and all the gold of all countries went to the United States. ”

"It's all over?" asked the army in surprise.

"Yes, there is such an exaggeration, and it is true, at that time, the statistics of the gold of the United States were 19,925 tons, note, it was a ton, 20,000 tons of gold reserves, worth 24.6 billion US dollars, accounting for 75% of the global reserves, in fact, there are more, can reach 80% of the global reserves, you can think about it, two world wars, how much money did the United States earn. ”

"After serving, it turns out that this is how the United States started, so what happened later?"

"Later, he occupied the capital, carved up Germany, you say, even more powerful, and then began to fool, he said to these countries, gold moved around, trouble, in the future, my money, linked to gold, is equal to the spokesperson of gold, gold I sealed in the treasury and did not move, I have 20,000 tons of gold, just print 20,000 tons of gold banknotes, subject to the supervision of the world, and then his money, expensive, 1 dollar, is equivalent to 0.8 grams of gold, and promised, you want gold, you can take dollars at any time, come to me to exchange, for example, you take 100 dollars over, I will pay you 80 grams of gold, fair and fair, Tong Su is not bulliedThis is the Bretton Woods system. ”

"Everyone thought about it, it makes sense, as long as you promise to do it, this is a good thing, and you agreed, and then, the currencies of other countries, the United States said, you set it yourself, I 1 dollar, exchange for 0.8 grams of gold, this is my gold content, what about your pound? The British have a bad temper and say that I used to be the boss of the world, my currency has strong purchasing power, my banknote issuance is stable, my currency is strong, it was still the world's currency before you, your dollar is worth 0.8 grams of gold, I can't be worse than you, I am worth 1 pound, it is worth 2.24 grams of gold. ”

"The people of the United States said okay, you Niu B, I admit it, and then when the Bretton Woods system was signed, the pound was more expensive when converted, and 1 dollar was exchanged for 0.35 pounds, and then countries around the world have stipulated their own gold content according to their own conditions, and the exchange rules between the dollar, how many francs are exchanged for 1 dollar, and how many marks are exchanged for 1 dollar, which is called the exchange rate, a fixed exchange rate system pegged to the dollar. ”
