Section 32 Wudaokou Financial Conference

Another effect of the visit to the church was that he felt at ease - he had always suspected that Australians worship the devil and drew a lot of liliang from the devil, but now when he saw such a magnificent church, the cross and the priest, his doubts disappeared. I thought it was God's extraordinary wisdom and liliang. I was finally able to leave Lingao in a calm mood.

It was a calm and leisurely day, as the Bairen Industrial Zone continued to spew smoke of different colors and a steady stream of wastewater poured into the Wenlan River from the treatment plant's outfall. As the temperature rises, the river seems to be greener than usual. There was a faint smell of it. The water in some diversion channels even stinks, and people have to be sent to clean it every day.

In a relatively remote neighborhood of Dongmen City - yes, Dongmen City has now formed a block, not a street in the past. The side streets that extend from the central street are opened up one after another as the main street extends. New neighborhoods have been formed, the land is surrounded by fences, signs with strange words are inserted, and construction of new houses is already under way in some places, while others are still idle and left for the people to grow vegetables.

At the intersection of the fifth street, commonly known as the place of Wudaokou, there is a newly completed tea house, the first floor is the place where tea is sold, the second and third floors are the tea house, this place is the new industry of the cooperative, tea as a mass consumer goods, the consumption of Lingao is getting bigger and bigger, Lingao does not produce tea locally, all imported from Fujian, the cooperative opened this tea house to sell tea in addition to the people's livelihood and the meaning of returning the currency.

The Executive Committee and the Standing Committee have agreed that private capital can be appropriately introduced in many non-critical industries. The tea house has 49 percent of the total capital invested by several of the company's customers, who are now under the guidance of the plantation to grow tea as a cash crop in the hilly areas to meet domestic demand.

The guest seats on the second and third floors are finely furnished, which also attracts many tea customers. As for the types of tea customers, most of them are small local landlords who have recently made their fortunes, merchants, and indigenous employees in various sectors, who have become increasingly inflated.

The most frequent patrons of Wudaokou Tea House are the veterans from the financial system. This place is very close to the newly opened head office of Delong Bank. Many people come here to chat and rest. Gradually, it replaced the cold, square, and simple lounge of primary industry in the compound of the former Finance and Financial Commission in Bairen City.

Tea is imported from Fujian, and then through the Ministry of Light Industry Tea Factory with machinery for simple sorting, reprocessing and packaging, most of the Fujian famous tea in this time and space can be seen here. And the most popular is oolong tea, which was already around the time.

This is a small microcosm of the intersection between the industrious, simple and pioneering spirit of the Celestial Empire businessman and the high-tech shili. Fujian's tea, Lingao-style packaging and services, the cooperation between indigenous merchants and monopoly state-owned enterprises. It works very naturally and smoothly. After the opening of the Wudaokou Tea House, it gradually became a gathering place for the elders of the financial and financial mouths, and even the indigenous nouveau riche who came here to drink tea knew that the third floor was not the place for them to go.

The amateur life of the veterans is generally not very interesting, and the people in the financial and financial departments are faced with reports and figures every day -- in order to adapt to the future financial system that does not apply to computers, various departments under the Ministry of Finance and Finance are implementing "manual accounting", and this kind of behavior of reversing is to avoid one day without computers, everyone will not even have the ability to make a summary of reports. Current computer systems are only used to carry out some of the more complex calculations.

The days of reading reports, planning plates, hand-cranked computers, and moving slide rules every day make everyone feel miserable, not to mention that everyone is assigned an apprentice, and the apprentice is not so much helping as increasing the workload, making everyone become more burdened for a while.

The more boring it is, the more attention is paid to leisure and relaxation, and the more this place has become a must-visit place for many people every day, not only when they are chatting and talking, but sometimes even when work meetings are held here.

After a long period of gathering, the elders of the financial and financial departments gradually formed several small groups here. There are mainly "accounting departments", "banking departments" and "finance and taxation departments", and the various groups are not completely distinct, and there are many intersections between personnel. These small factions were loosely united to form a faction that would later be called the "Five Crossings" in the Senate. The system does not have the size of a law club, nor does it have the meticulous thinking and organization of a law student, nor does it have the aspiring Equine Academy to lead everything - there are many small factions within the group, and they despise each other for their own financial, economic and fiscal ideas, and no one buys or pays. So in the second convention, the financial group failed to usurp a bigger pie of power. Naturally, there is no such thing as a law club.

In the primary coal-iron joint venture, finance, or the financial sector under the current system, is an indispensable but not the most important sector. So people are well aware of the possibility of gaining more power.

"We are service units." The financial department is very unified in thinking on this issue.

The financial and taxation system has just undergone a comprehensive restructuring after the recent Second Plenary Session. The original Fiscal and Financial Commission was split and adjusted into multiple departments, and the new system finally had a formal Ministry of Finance, and the Cheka, the audit department of the four different ones, finally gained formal status; In addition to formally taking over the county grain collection bureau, which was a compromise product under the old Ming system, the new tax bureau is also being formed.

The original Delong Grain Company was divided into two divisions, one of which maintained its old name, Delong Grain Company, and continued to undertake the business of grain purchase, storage and sales. Delong's original currency issuance and financial business were spun off and became a separate bank, which is currently temporarily playing the role of a central bank, a professional bank and a commercial bank.

Cheng Dong, the new finance director, never comes to Wudaokou, but he is very supportive of his subordinates discussing professional issues here. The tea house is an informal setting, and the conversation is more relaxed, not as formal as discussing issues in a formal meeting, and many words can be said on the table. So this place has gradually become an important place for business departments to discuss and formulate policies.

On the third floor, there are private rooms one by one, with thin bamboo curtains hanging at the door, and some green plants are embellished. Some private rooms are so small that they can only accommodate four or five people to chat, and some are large enough for twenty or so people to gather together for a meeting. The staircase was guarded by an Aboriginal attendant to prevent any unaware Aboriginal from breaking into the third floor. The second is to take care of the thermos and tea leaves.

It's work time, and most of the private rooms are empty, except for one room, which is full of friends, and seven or eight people sit around a round table, joking with each other. The main thing to communicate about is the business of the system, and then there is the maid welfare that seems to be on the horizon. From time to time, there was some "you know" laughter.

Hot tea and plates of fruit were placed on the table, the skylight on the roof was open, and the smoke of several cigarettes and cigars rose upward, giving the natives the nickname "Immortal Society".

"I heard that the quality of the maid is very good after training, and it will be much stronger than when I first went ashore." The head of the Cheka Zifan felt a little uneasy, and couldn't help but feel a little profligate, "I really want to get one back as soon as possible and train it myself." ”

The Cheka has been established for a few months, and so far he has not caught a single "big fish", and Yifan is very disappointed, and the progress of his audit work is as slow as a turtle, because there is no suitable person. Everything you do has to start from the beginning. And there are a lot of people who compete with you for resources. It is said that this basic accounting training course for auditing was only started on a large scale under his vigorous advocacy, and as a result, most of the accountants trained were withheld by various departments, and the executive committee seemed to have suddenly woken up -- in order for all departments and enterprises to keep accounts and improve their financial systems, they must have accountants.

As a result, Yifan Zuihou only got less than ten people, plus the apprentices he personally brought and the clerical staff who did not need to understand accounting and auditing, which was barely enough for a football team.

Just a dozen or so people, learning by doing. Yi Fan spent more than ten times more energy than he did himself - these fledgling auditors were full of mistakes, and he had to review every piece of information himself. As a result, the accounts of the enterprises under the Committee of Agriculture in Wunanhai have not yet been clarified. His famous phrase "drag the patriarch out and shoot him" became a laughing stock.

Ji An ate the mango: "It's so good-looking, we have to bid for it, this is a deliberate attempt to squeeze out our property." ”

"I'm nothing." Wu Di flicked the cigarette ash, a complete cigarette ash flew out beautifully, and fell into a glass full of cigarette butts, this person is about 30 years old, with a moderate and well-proportioned figure, strong muscles, and quite handsome appearance, which is quite eye-catching in the crowd.

"What is an indigenous maid? He is not good-looking, and he is short," Wu Di expressed contempt, "Don't talk about looks, you don't have any common language with modern people." I'm not interested at all. ”

"Then why do you still receive maid benefits?"

"Everyone has weishenme, but I don't," Wu Di said indifferently, "and it's not bad to buy one and go back to housework." This kind of life secretary is only enough to do this. ”

Travelers rarely bring wives or girlfriends. Only this Wu Di not only brought a young and beautiful wife, but even a sister-in-law was abducted. This guy made no secret of the ambiguous relationship between himself and his sister-in-law, and sometimes the three of them went in and out together, which attracted everyone's attention. Du Wen repeatedly regarded his wife and sister-in-law in private as a typical example of "automatically putting on the shackles of male power and becoming male subordination".

"You're really a typical full man who doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry—" Every time Yi Fan saw him, he was eager to check his account to see if he could be taken out and shot, lest he have too many resources alone. However, Wu Di's current Delong Bank Credit Office has not made a few transactions so far. This thought had to be dispelled.

"Ahem." Jin Zhijiao coughed beside her, as the only woman in the audience, she was very uncomfortable with such a topic, and she was also a little uneasy - Lao Hu wouldn't have to make a little wife, right?

Yi Fan noticed her reaction and quickly stopped talking about this issue, but diverged to other things. It's not that he respects women, it's really because Jin Zhijiao is one of his generals now, and he must be well encircled.

Jin Zhijiao is the wife of Hu Muye, an engineer in Lingao Telecom, who graduated from accounting and is very good at statistics. Now it's the Chekari's second-in-command.

"Are there any new policies lately?" Yi Fan asked casually and flicked off the ashes.

Chen Ce, director of the planning department of Delong Bank, glanced at him and dropped the cigarette card.

"Do you really not know or do you not know? The General Office of the Executive Committee issued a document asking us to add a detailed plan for the reform of the monetary system on the basis of the previous report. ”

"Just that RFP?" Yi Fan said, "Isn't that the report you got last time?" ”

A few months ago, Chen Ce made a report to the first executive committee on the reform of the financial system. In this report, in addition to the reform of the system of the Financial Expenditure Committee and the separation of finance, the issue of monetary reform was also raised.

"Yes, it's basically the same framework I mentioned. However, it can be seen that the Executive Committee has a lot of thoughts on how to change the monetary system, and it is very vacillating. ”

"Not bad. At least the current reform of the financial system has a lot to do with your report. Delong has broken up - you say, is the ultimate goal of your report to be Delong's separation? ”

In Delong's era of grain banking, the main people who held the power were the people from the planning commission system, and the financial and accounting personnel were basically the people who worked below.

After the separation, the grain bank business was spun off and the banking system was established. A group of people mixed into middle-level positions.

"Hehe, you can't say that, is this the trend of the times" Chen Ce remained silent, "The grain bank does finance, this is too ridiculous, and the name is not right." Can you imagine the Ministry of Food of the People's Republic of China issuing banknotes? ”

The so-called base money is the liability of the central bank. The central bank buys the Treasury bond issuance currency. Therefore, the first step of the financial reform proposed by Chen Ce is to turn Delong Grain Bank into Delong Bank. This step has now been achieved. That's why he proposed monetary reform.

"Didn't the Ministry of Food of the People's Republic of China issue food stamps for many years? But we're more thorough, straight two-in-one. Yi Fan commented.

"You also study finance and economics, and you must know the problem of our so-called negotiable bills."

"That's right, that's why I was in favor of using food as the base when you proposed the agenda." Yi Fan said. In the early days of the grass, it was feasible to use rice as a fully convertible note for the general equivalent. In an underdeveloped area like Lingao, only rice can provide sufficient and reputable credit guarantees, and through foreign trade, it is relatively easy to stabilize the price of rice, that is, the currency value, within an acceptable fluctuation range.

"The biggest problem with the grain circulation voucher is that it is actually a grain bank exchange voucher. The restrictions are too dead, and other assets must be converted into rice before they can be converted into currency. This is no longer commensurate with the current socio-economic development. Yi Fan concluded, "However, the key to being able to pass at the beginning was that you voted for Ma Dugong, an 'industrialist' fanatic. "I have a feeling that the Duke has a poor understanding of money in nature, but he has a strong hostility towards finance. And the desire for complete manipulation of the financial system"

"The Duke is a fanatic of the Jihua economy." Wu Di lit a new cigarette and said, "He also has a plan for a new monetary system." ”

"Oh, I'd like to see that. I didn't know that Ma Tugong was also interested in finance. ”

"It's a long one," Wu Di said, "and I can give you a summary of his thoughts." ”

"Listen up."

"Ma Dugong's monetary system is, in short, the right to issue shijie money by controlling trade channels," Wu Di said, "and his theory is that as long as you monopolize the logistics industry, you can monopolize the right to define money." The reason why the pound and the dollar have become international currencies is because of the monopoly of commodity circulation. ”

As he spoke, he took out a notebook from his pocket: "I'll read you a passage of his original text.

…… There are two prerequisites for buying something, A has someone to sell, and B has a channel to buy it. With farmers alone, you can't buy rice, only factories, you can't buy clothes. You have to use currency, and there has to be logistics to change hands from it. Therefore, if you monopolize the logistics industry, you can monopolize the right to define money. In modern times, the pound and the dollar have become international currencies, and the most critical point is that these two countries have mastered sea power. There are two meanings of controlling sea power, one is that you have a monopoly merchant fleet, and others can't compete with you. So all the bulk trade is done by you, and you naturally have the right to choose how to denominate. The other is that you have the first navy of Shijie, which can stop trade on any line at any time without incurring retaliation. The United States and the United Kingdom are such models. The United States can not care who extracts oil from the Middle East, who makes half of Shijie's industrial goods - as long as these things are denominated in dollars......"

"Of course, if this can be done, it will still be advantageous in the short term, just look at the United States in the old time and space." Chen Ce said, "He is just like the Americans, relying on the credit of international currencies to borrow unlimitedly. Most of the over-issued currencies are circulating in the shijie market,"

"In this jihua he has a four-step plan," Mr. Wu said, "and the first stage is to let this new currency -- let's call it the Australian dollar -- buy our supplies." Now that there is a negotiable coupon, just replace the negotiable coupon; In the second stage, we asked that the Australian dollar could be used to buy other people's goods and exchange them with gold and silver; In the third stage, gold and silver must be denominated in Australian dollars; In the fourth stage, we ask everything to be priced in traversal coins. ”

"The Duke is a jihua omnipotent, material-first, and financial heresy is essentially heresy for him." Chen Ce said with a smile.
