Chapter 440: Appearance
In the beginning, when the merchants who had traded gold from Octopus Island went outside, they would not only be a good news focus in their own right, but they would also relay some of the words of the old king.
The outside news media about the old king who ruled Octopus Island, what he did, as well as his words and deeds, were all described by those merchants to have a rough outline.
However, it is precisely because of this that many people are very curious about this old king, and every step he makes will attract the attention of the world media.
People are so curious, but they have a stronger desire to see what kind of person this old king of Zhongshan really is, and most people will imagine that this should be a kind and kind old man.
In particular, the recent news in the press that they will offer a high price for the old king's photographs and other materials, which makes the merchants who went to Octopus Island to trade goods want to get a photo with the old king.
However, the old king, with the exception of a few merchants who had established a good relationship of trust with Octopus Island, had not appeared easily since then, and most of the guards and ministers around him were responsible for doing the work.
Recently, a new type of banknote has begun to circulate around the world, which looks very special and looks like a work of art.
In particular, some people will collect this kind of banknote, and then they will show off this kind of paper money to their friends, which looks exquisite and beautiful, and is extremely difficult to counterfeit. Those friends would be curious to ask what kind of currency it was, and then they would tell them that it was a new currency from the Golden Isle that was currently only in circulation in small quantities.
And after these people showed off the new banknote, many people were attracted by the banknote that looked like a work of art, so they began to ask around. I even went to the market to look for it, wanting to collect this kind of banknote.
However, there are very few such banknotes in circulation in the world, which makes this kind of banknotes begin to heat up in the collection market, and even a ten-dollar denomination is banked to a high price of about 100 US dollars.
However, it was precisely because of the exquisitely designed, poetic and picturesque fantasy world that the gold currency began to circulate in the outside world. It also made the media around the world finally see the appearance of the old king through the banknote.
Because in the low-key issuance of the Golden Island's currency of the 100 yuan banknote on the back of the anti-counterfeiting logo, it is the old king's watermark head, which is very vivid and lifelike.
Especially when projected with backlight, the appearance of this old king seems to be printed on paper, which makes people feel very surprised.
However, after the release of these notes, although very low-key, they attracted the attention of the media around the world. And it was reported, and a picture of that coin was released.
In particular, the printing industry is amazed that the Golden Island does not know what kind of banknote printing and anti-counterfeiting technology is used, and the small banknote, some anti-counterfeiting identification contained on it, as well as the printing skills and methods such as layer overlapping, they actually don't know anything, as if the banknote is only processed through one process. There is no superfluous process at all, which is why it will be complicated for them.
But I really have to crack it. In addition to the anti-counterfeiting logo and identification code, some other manufacturing processes can still find the shadow of modern technology currency printing technology.
As a result, countless people began to speculate that the Golden Island was just a feudal and backward primitive island when it first appeared, but only in such a short period of time. They even issued currency.
Because the island is relatively closed, people can't learn much information, but just through the production process of the banknotes that circulated on the island, it shows that the Golden Island has mastered a lot of modern technology in the process of rapid development. And this process and technology have been upgraded to a certain advanced level.
Of course, most people are not very aware of the amount of knowledge contained in this banknote, and they are interested in whether the currency issued by the Golden Island has purchasing power, whether the international community recognizes this currency, what is its exchange rate, and whether the financial market has the opportunity to invest in this new currency.
However, according to the latest information, this currency is currently only available to European banks, Swiss banks, and Asian central banks, which have cooperative relations with the Golden Island, and its exchange rate with the euro has reached an astonishing one-to-one, which has really lost the attention of many people.
Because of this, coupled with the monopoly of the three financial institutions on this currency, the market value and stocks of these banks have risen sharply, reaching a terrifying increase of more than 40%.
At first, the merchants who traded with the Golden Isle side went to Octopus Island with large quantities of supplies, but they did not approve of this currency and had doubts about it, so most of them asked Octopus Island to pay in gold.
However, when the people of the Golden Isle explained to them the usefulness of that currency, some people found it much easier to settle in that currency.
After all, not everyone is comfortable at sea with a large amount of gold, and if they get into any trouble, their gold is likely to become prey for pirates, thus ruining their business.
In addition, the price of gold has been declining recently, and if the gold they earn is exchanged for money, although there is a certificate issued by the Golden Island, according to the price of the gold market, they will lose money if they are unlucky.
The Golden Island explained that the currency here could be exchanged with several banks, which made some merchants see the convenience, but they also had concerns that this currency would not be recognized outside, so they began to use half of the gold and a small amount of this currency settlement.
And when these merchants get this new currency, they are afraid of long nights and dreams, and they will go to those banks to exchange it as soon as possible.
What they didn't expect was that it was very convenient to exchange money in the designated banks, and they could use those currencies to exchange them for any kind of foreign currency without too many restrictions, and the banks would also offer good interest rates after the currencies were deposited in the bank according to the amount. It is very convenient and efficient.
So, when the merchants who had tasted the sweetness of this went to the Golden Isle again, they would resort to this more convenient method of settlement, and others saw the benefits of it, and the banks assured that the currency would not be unusable. Therefore, this settlement method is also adopted.
In this way, it did not take long for the currency issued by the Golden Isle to become the preferred currency for the settlement of transactions by merchants with whom they traded.
Because the state power established on this golden island is internationally translated as Zhongshan Guo, this currency is also known as Zhongshan coin, but for people in some Asian countries, they still like to call it Liuqiu new coin.
……
However, at present, the international regime against the establishment of the small Zhongshan state on the Golden Island is still in a vague attitude that neither recognizes nor opposes.
But in the country of rice. At the UN General Assembly held this year, they expressed very strong political expressions and views, all of which vigorously refused to recognize the existence of Zhongshan as a small island country, and held that the export of goods by businessmen from some countries to the island was a criminal act of smuggling, and that all countries should intensify their efforts to crack down on and investigate.
However, vested interests. Who cares about the opinion of the people of the United States.
Even if the United States and other countries have not achieved good results in the economic blockade policy against Octopus Island, there are still a large number of private businessmen who secretly smuggle materials to the Golden Island. Even if the navies of the United States and the navies of countries such as Japan Island increase their patrol efforts, they will not be able to stop the craze of merchants from all over the world going to the Golden Island to pan for gold.
Not to mention that there will be countermeasures on the Golden Island, just for the sake of profit, the measures taken by those businessmen can be said to be very drastic, even if the whole world does not recognize this small island country, so what. If there is enough profit to be made by smuggling supplies to Octopus Island, why don't they do it?
Especially for some European countries, after their own merchants establish trade and cooperation relations with the Golden Island, they bring back very rich benefits for the country, and they casually take out a little idle materials and not very important technology to the small island country. can be exchanged for rich returns, who will not get along with money, even a country is the same.
In addition, coupled with some hidden factors, the attitude of some European countries towards Octopus Island can be said to be very friendly and friendly, otherwise there would not be a European bank to take the lead in cooperating with Octopus Island.
No one will know that this is the role played by the Fountain of Life gene potion provided by Yu Xiaohu, which can enhance the lifespan of human beings.
Those extremely powerful family or national high-ranking figures who tasted the sweetness of the genetic medicine, when their lives were extended and they experienced the powerful effect of the genetic medicine, they were firmly tied to the chariot that Yu Xiaohu drove for them.
After all, the gene medicine is not a one-time use that can get a long-term return, that is simply unrealistic, he must continue or continue to take it, in order to receive the best effect.
Because of this, those old guys who are eager for longevity, or for more, or who can't let go of the power in their hands will spare no effort to give Yu Xiaohu the greatest support behind his back.
Because most of the people who first tasted the sweetness of genetic medicine were some extremely influential and powerful families and some powerful people in Europe, the entire European society has always maintained a friendly attitude towards the existence of Octopus Island, and as for the fact that their own merchants sent all kinds of materials to Octopus Island, they also turned a blind eye.
Even if the people of the United States think that some European countries are deliberately releasing water on Octopus Island and recognize the legal status of the small country in Zhongshan on Octopus Island in the world, they are helpless, and who can tell who is right and who is wrong in political matters is just an exchange of interests.
This time, the discussion at the United Nations on the issue of this small country on Octopus Island has been unprecedentedly fierce and controversial, among which the United States is the most ferocious.
But at the end of the meeting, when there was still no result in the discussion on this issue, suddenly a person unexpectedly appeared, breaking the deadlocked atmosphere in the meeting.
At the same time, the arrival of this person also made the attention of the whole world pay attention to the United Nations General Assembly at once.
And the focus of attention is the princess Liuqiu, who has not been canonized by the old king of Zhongshan for a long time.
Until this moment, the mysterious Princess Liuqiu also officially appeared in the eyes of people all over the world for the first time.
According to the information she announced in front of the media, she was entrusted by the old king to represent Zhongshan at the United Nations General Assembly, and officially submitted an application to the United Nations that Zhongshan could win a seat in the United Nations member states.
When this paper application appeared at the National Congress of the United Nations, it immediately stirred up a thousand waves and caused a sensation.
Nami and Hishima and other countries are fiercely opposed, and do not recognize the existence of the small island country of Zhongshan, and are doing some lobbying work, hoping to get more support from more countries.
But now the other side has submitted an application, and it has been approved by some European countries, as well as China and other major countries at the meeting, so that in the voting process at the meeting, the number of votes for the support and the opposition side is the same, which makes the situation a little complicated.
However, this mysterious princess Liuqiu appeared on such a major stage for the first time, and it immediately attracted more attention around the world than that conference.
Because this Princess Liuqiu has the face of an oriental woman, maybe the aesthetics of Westerners can't see any clues, but I feel that this is a mature and eye-catching woman.
But in the eyes of the Orientals, this is definitely a beautiful woman who can make men fall in love with it.
As soon as she appeared on the stage and was reported by the media live, she gained countless fans in the East, and at the same time, her personal information was immediately investigated and published, which immediately caused a sensation in Chinese-speaking countries in Asia.
Of course, it was Huaguo that caused the most sensation.
Because in Huaguo, many people who are paying attention to this current affairs news, after seeing the appearance of the mysterious Princess Liuqiu in the live broadcast, people who know her can't help but exclaim: "Wow, isn't that the Master Yun I know, how did she become Princess Liuqiu?" ”
Especially around the South Island, the title of Master Yun can be said to be known by many people in the upper circles, but after this news appeared, everyone was shocked.
And the voice of most of the people who knew her was the same sentence: "How is this possible, how can Master Yun be a descendant of the Liuqiu royal family, and he was also canonized as Princess Liuqiu by the king of Zhongshan in that small island country?" ”
As a result, after this news appeared, words such as 'Yun Xiangrong' and 'Princess Liuqiu' became the words with the fastest rising search popularity in search engines. (To be continued......)
