At this moment, in the face of Lao Ba's meaningful or somewhat forced questioning, the audience looked at each other for a while, and then responded:

The core mission? Isn't it just about building our financial system?

Break into the overseas financial market!

Strengthening the Federal Reserve?

Lao Ba shook his head and said, these are just means, not goals - Lao Ba stood up when he said this, looked at the banana leaves swaying outside the restaurant window, and said in a slow tone: All our financial undertakings must be aimed at establishing the credibility and hegemony of Australian dollar banknotes in the new world!

No way!

Nowadays, it is not easy for people to accept paper money with you, and we still have to ...... President Yu

Advanced! It's just a bit far away, right?

Ambitious! I'm afraid it's a bit too ambitious......

yes, that's a bit of a big question!

In fact, it would be nice to be able to issue banknotes......

Hearing Lao Ba say this, the brothers looked surprised and responded in unison.

So how do you achieve this goal step by step?

Next, Lao Ba did not pay attention to the surprise of the melon-eating masses, but set up a question himself, and replied by himself:

"First of all, we need to make the most of the gold and silver price differentials in this era to attract gold, silver and precious metals into our pockets and become the basis for the issuance of the Australian dollar."

When Lao Ba said this, he looked at the suspicious eyes projected by everyone, and immediately responded with a slight smile:

"Okay, then let's talk about the issue of paper money first, first of all, a few days ago Xiao Yu sent a telegram to say that the fund council decided through serious discussion that we will not issue precious metal silver coins in the future, that form of currency is too backward, and time-consuming and labor-intensive, in short, official paper money will definitely be issued, and it is in the near future."

"Ba Lao, it is said that the banknote picture was designed by your old eldest son?"

"I heard that the drawing is pretty good......

Lao Ba was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, temporary, temporary, there will be more professional people to design in the future, I heard that Wei Dongli recommended one, I don't know much now, okay, okay, these details will be discussed later, let's talk about something big now - Lao Ba said and immediately changed his sincere face, and said to everyone in a firm tone:

"I ask you to rest assured that you are here! We are confident that paper money will soon be accepted by the world, after all, our banknotes are on the gold standard, and internally we have a certain number of consumers can be forced to promote, there are strong trade goods externally, plus the obvious benefits of paper money, so there is no reason not to be accepted by the public, although the public may have an adaptation period, but the length of this adaptation period depends on how we show our own credit and strength. ”

Seeing that the people who eat melons nodded frequently, Lao Ba then said:

In fact, in this era, whether it is gold or silver coins or paper money, as long as it is anchored on the gold and silver standard, it will eventually be accepted by people.

Moreover, it is not in this day and age that there is no shortage of paper money, and it is not the first time that people have seen paper money, for example, silver tickets. ”

However, everyone just nodded silently, and no one echoed - silver tickets are of course a form of paper money, but they have not entered thousands of households at all, how can this be compared with paper money in everyone's minds......

Obviously, Lao Ba also knows everyone's thoughts, he looked at everyone and smiled, you don't have to be pessimistic, although the local natives may not recognize paper money soon, but at least the foreign merchants in Xin'an City will soon recognize paper money, there is another situation to tell you, according to my understanding of Dutch businessmen and Xiaohan, paper money is now very mature in the financial system of the Dutch, but among businessmen, it is more limited to the financial system and the stock and bond market.

And in our Celestial Empire, the paper issued by the Great Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago, and the military tickets issued by the Ming Dynasty, aren't they all paper money? Later, the reason why it was not accepted by people was because of the credit bankruptcy of the government, but it was not that there was anything wrong with the currency form of paper money, and it was not good that this pot of paper money was not memorized?

Everyone nodded silently when they heard this, but immediately there were questioning voices:

Well, that may be the case.

However, it doesn't feel smooth to get that group of foreign businessmen to accept our banknotes, after all, our Australian Federation has just been here for a short time, and it will take time even if we are familiar with each other, right?

Yes, Dutch merchants, even European merchants, know each other for a long time, and we are newcomers!

Well, after all, people are holding heavy silver coins in their hands, and it turns out to be a fluttering piece of paper in your old place, is it reliable?

I think that it is reliable, but it is seen from our standpoint, and it is difficult for outsiders to say.

As long as it works well and we have credit, it should also be reliable, but what is the hegemony of the Australian dollar?

A hard currency that the whole world agrees on?

Just like the rice knives of the old world? This is a bit far, right?

Yes, I still think President Yu's goal is too high......

At this moment, some people in the melon-eating crowd nodded and some shook their heads, and when everyone was discussing, Han Letian said to everyone with blazing eyes next to him:

"Everyone, things are done step by step, Brother Ba Lao Yu and I coincide with the same idea, I am confident that in my lifetime, I must achieve this goal!"

As soon as Han Letian's words came out, the melon-eating crowd smiled and exchanged glances with each other, obviously everyone still appreciated Boss Han's ambition, so everyone applauded in unison.

In the face of everyone's encouragement, Han Letian was a little embarrassed, he looked at Lao Ba and said, you should continue to talk about it, after all, I am a beginner......

Lao Ba also smiled and quickly shook his hand and said: Okay, thank you for your encouragement, listen to me first, in this era, all currencies - including paper money, are directly or indirectly linked to hard currencies such as gold and silver, otherwise they will not be accepted by people, and the currency issuance system with chicken farts as the core in the old world will not work in this era, especially for paper money.

Therefore, our banknotes must also be backed by ready-made gold and silver, and as long as our bank credit is not bankrupt, over time, it will be accepted and recognized by the world of this era, which is beyond doubt.

So, that's why I just said ---- to make the most of the gold and silver spreads in this day and age, to attract gold and silver precious metals into our pockets and to be a strong backing for the Australian dollar.

In other words, in order to make the Australian dollar a hegemonic currency, only by making the main body of the Australian dollar become a net inflow of international gold, silver and precious metals---- and only in this way can the Australian dollar be recognized by the world and become an international hard currency.

Hearing this, someone in the melon-eating crowd finally reacted, and at this time, Hou Xianglin struck his palms and said loudly:

So the Dutch are very willing to join our financial system and not hesitate to let our banks into their market because there is a big interest in it.

Because the Dutch can earn more silver by trading with us, and we, through the cooperation of the Dutch, let the gold and silver flow into our pockets, so as to support the credit of the Australian dollar banknotes, and finally let the Australian dollar obtain the status of international common hard currency!

All in all, through financial cooperation, the Dutch made a lot of profits, and we, for real money, a win-win situation was formed.

Papapapa, Lao Ba and Han Letian applauded, of course, only these two people, except for Hou Xianglin's see-through look, the rest of them were still confused.
