Chapter 456: Reserve Currency

Wangfujing Department Store is the most popular store in Wangfujing Pedestrian Street.

Most of the people of Weishan Lake like to go in and go shopping when they have nothing to do. It has the most complete range of products in the world. Categorized and all-encompassing.

Here, there are not only all kinds of goods produced by Weishan Lake, but also all the goods in the world, only what you can't think of, and what you can't sell without it.

Weishan Lake is now the world's largest trading center, and traders from all over the country bring agricultural and handicraft products here to sell and buy industrial products at the same time.

For children, this is the nest of Monkey King. Because there is the most complete Journey to the West peripheral figures.

Of course, the word figurines is more alternative, what they know is that department stores sell all kinds of props in Journey to the West.

For example, the golden hoop stick, the monkey brother himself, and so on.

These things are really not made by Weishan Lake. This piece of Dana is the Great Xiangguo Temple in Bianliang City.

According to the model provided by Qin Mu, Elder Zhiqing produced a large number of vivid Journey to the West series figures. From the four Tang monks and apprentices, to their weapons and magic weapons, as well as the gods and monsters, although the material cannot be made of materials from later generations, this kind of handmade toy can be made by skilled craftsmen in this time and space - although the materials are different, the function is the same.

It's all for kids to play with, and there's nothing high-tech in it.

Because Weishan Lake doesn't want the money of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is extremely inconvenient to barter goods, such as a monkey brother for a few nail clippers? What if you don't change your nail clippers and change your enamel cups? How many for that?

Moreover, the enamel cup is also divided into several styles of different sizes and colors, so that the original trading method of bartering cannot be faced at all.

Therefore, this kind of exchange must introduce currency, since Weishanhu does not want the money of the Great Song Dynasty, and Elder Zhiqing needs the products of Weishanhu, then he can only accept Weishanhu's banknotes.

In this way, a small amount of banknotes from Weishan Lake have unconsciously spread everywhere.

This kind of banknote is not a piece of garbage paper like Jiaozi. Needless to say, the banknotes of Weishan Lake are exquisitely made, the key is to hold this banknote and buy any commodity in Weishan Lake at any time.

And Jiaozi is not easy to use in Bianliang City, and the merchant refuses to accept it!

Now some people in Bianliang City already have some Joaquin in their hands. They feel that this is money that can be used in emergencies - they can go to Weishan Lake to buy things at any time.

Among them, the most preserved is the Daxiangguo Temple.

Almost every day, he has to stare at the computer to check the various data of the currency. Faced with this situation, she was both happy and a little worried.

"Official, our banknotes are standing. This is a good thing, but many outsiders hold the banknotes in their hands and don't spend them, so once the amount accumulates, it will be a hidden danger to us. ”

Qin Mu had to admit that Zhe Meiluan's height was getting higher and higher, and he would soon catch up with him. If she is a person in the 21st century, she must be like a female scholar.

Tonight, it was Zhi Meiluan who accompanied Qin Mu, and there were only the two of them in the room. So Qin Mu can let go of flattery without worrying about someone being jealous.

"Meiluan, you are really a genius, the best in the world!"

It is necessary to pat the wife's ass, which can make the relationship between the husband and wife more harmonious. This is also a new skill that Qin Mu has honed in the past few years.

After patting the sycophants, he turned to the topic: "Now, our banknotes are left in the hands of outsiders, what is this equivalent to?" This can be called an international reserve currency. If the whole world is ours, this is an internal affair, but to be honest, our territory is only so little, and everything else can be classified as foreign countries, and between countries is an international issue. Therefore, outsiders can be regarded as other countries. Other countries take our currency, not as waste paper, but seriously keep it for use, which gives our banknotes a new function. ”

"International reserve currency?"

"Yes, it's the international reserve currency." Qin Mu sat up straight, folded Meiluan seriously, and said, "Meiluan, Weishan Lake is a very small place in the world, as big as a sesame seed. Even the Song Kingdom, for the world, is just a big place. And our goal is the sea of stars, at least the whole of Eurasia, and even Australia, which we will occupy in the future. However, with such a large territory, it is not necessary to occupy it by killing all the people. We want to govern. ”

"Official, such a big territory, we don't have so many management talents!" Zhe Meiluan knows what New World Group is missing. They do not lack force, only managerial talent.

The Guards Regiment can expand and expand the army, and each time the army is expanded, it only takes a short time to form combat effectiveness, and there is no problem in fighting the world.

But how to govern the world? No one is simply impossible.

Although Weishan Lake has expanded a lot now, almost connected to the county seat of Tengxian County, Zhe Meiluan knows that if it were not for the lack of administrative management talents of New World Group, the territory of Weishan Lake could be expanded tenfold and hundredfold.

With the combat effectiveness of the Guards Regiment, even if it is now laid down Bianliang, it will be no problem at all. But after the laydown, she didn't have so many new talents to manage the world.

After so many years of industrial construction, Zhe Meiluan understands very well that if those people under the old constitution are used to manage the new world, it is tantamount to suicide. They will surely bring the new world back to the old ways, and then everyone will die together.

It is precisely because Zhi Meiluan deeply understands this that she unconditionally supports the official's plan - digging deep holes, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king.

Jia Hongxian didn't have a deep understanding of this point, but she always wanted to take down Bianliang City, catch Ren Xiaoxiao, and humiliate her again!

"Yes, we lack management talents, not a little, but extremely lacking, so we can only hold on to such a small area for development. However, the shortage of talent will not be solved in ten years. For the current Song Kingdom and Jinguo, which is East Asia, we can say that after ten years of training, we can barely produce so many talents. But for the whole world, it is simply not enough. ”

"Official, do you mean that we will never be able to produce enough talent to manage the world?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, I really can't see this possibility in my lifetime." Qin Mu also told the truth, he only had ten years left in his life. How could he have trained so many people in the past ten years to manage the whole world?

No other country has been able to do this even in later generations. That's dreaming.

"So what do we do?" Zhe Meiluan was also a little anxious, "Or, let's do less territory, and we will end up in Central Asia?" ”

"It's not going to work." Qin Mu shook his head. As far as Central Asia goes, it is too far from the goal given by the cabinet, and he will definitely die at that time. It's just that you can't say this to Zhe Meiluan.

"So how do we solve this problem?" Zhe Meiluan was also worried.

"Meiluan, this is the beauty of the international reserve currency just mentioned." Qin Mu's eyes seemed to be shining at this time: "It is impossible for us to manage the whole world like Weishan Lake." Our core is really only East Asia. In this range, I am confident that it is well managed. In addition, it is not purely by force, but by money, which is our money. ”

"How do you do this?"

"Meiluan, you said before that this banknote is paper. In fact, this is true in a certain way. In China, banknotes must not be seen as paper, this is the lubricant for the exchange of all things, without banknotes, business collapses, industry collapses, and then our world collapses. So in China, banknotes are the general equivalent, and you must be clear about this. ”

Zhi Meiluan nodded hurriedly.

"But it's different abroad. For foreign countries, our banknotes are indeed paper. But it's a special kind of paper. For example, if I take ten yuan to buy a set of robes from Daxiangguo Temple, will he sell them to me? ”

"Of course." Zhe Meiluan knew that Daxiangguo Temple was the external institution that held the most Joaquin.

"That's it. We can print banknotes at will, but the robes of Daxiangguo Temple require a lot of labor to produce. We are taking a piece of paper in exchange for external labor. ”

"Isn't this the white wolf with empty gloves?"

"Hehe, that's what it means." Qin Mu was a little embarrassed to admit it.

The feeling of getting something for nothing is really fascinating.

"Official, do you mean that we can use paper to manage the whole world in the future?" Zhe Meiluan grabbed the center of Qin Mu at once.

"The essence is this, but the specific operation is very cumbersome and cumbersome. Outside of East Asia, it is impossible for us to implement the system of Weishan Lake, and the races and cultures are different, and this is not a problem that can be solved by force. But what a knife can't solve, money can solve. As long as we firmly hold the high-end of the industry, the world will step under our feet! ”

Zhe Meiluan completely understood at this time. Why Qin Mu is not worried about the spread of banknotes, it turns out that the officials are piloting in a small area, simulating the situation in the world.

This height, as of tonight, only Qin Mu and Zhe Meiluan understand. Others can't think of it.

I can't even think of it at the top, let alone the people at the bottom.

Wu Yue didn't have any concept of international reserves at all. In her opinion, banknotes, or Joaquin, were the most precious and lovely paper in the worldβ€”more valuable than gold.

After she came out of the police station, she went directly to Wangfujing with no less interest. But she didn't take the bus anymore. On the contrary, it's not far from Wangfujing, so let's walk there.

How can a woman be afraid of getting tired when shopping.

She rushed directly to the Hermes boutique, and saw that the dress she liked was still hanging in the window, and her heart was a little more steady.

This kind of luxury, each one will not have too many goods. This is also Jia Honghong's business strategy - how can there be more luxury goods, then it is not worth much.

For different types of goods, Jia Honghong's business strategy is different. For example, nail clippers are simply added with rubber, and printing a line of words is a luxury.

But the costume is different. She asked Qin Mu to get her a large number of photos of later life clothes, which was enough for her to use for a lifetime.

In this way, Jia Hongxian only makes a limited number of each model, and it is still handmade - she has her own clothing factory.

That's why the Queen Jia is always able to come up with new outfits, and they're limited to just a few of them – no more than ten pieces at most.

Every piece of clothing can empty the customer's net worth, so she earns a lot of wealth.

Of course, these were also acquiesced by Qin Mu - because this could return the banknotes.

If someone else did these things, of course Qin Mu wouldn't agree - a large number of banknotes were in the hands of outsiders, wouldn't it be timed**.

But Jia Hongxian is her own person, and her money will definitely become her own weapon, and she will not blow herself up.

Moreover, Qin Mu fully absorbed the experience of later generations. Not all industries are suitable for state enterprises. State-owned enterprises and private enterprises are the most stable on two legs.

Of course, Wu Yue can't see through everything behind this, and she doesn't need to think about so many useless things. As long as the new clothes are worn on yourself, it is fine.

If you wear this latest Hermes dress, you will not be worse than those female soldiers and doctors, and even more beautiful!

She was about to pay for it, but at this time Wu Yue suddenly stopped. Because she found a new product.

Shampoo. Shampoo.

When did this thing appear? I didn't have it when I came here last week.

The clerk answered her questions immediately. The salespeople in Hermès boutiques are different from the salespeople in department stores.

They are very enthusiastic and patient with their customers – and of course, their bonuses are linked to sales.

This is something that the staff of the department store do not have. The sales clerks in the department store are paid a fixed salary, so their attitude is much worse.

Wu Yue listened to the salesperson's explanation and knew that this shampoo was used for shampooing and was a brand new product, so she immediately became interested.

She is different from those female soldiers, who all have short hair, while Wu Yue has long thick and jet-black hair.

With such long hair, it is not so refreshing to wash it in the bath every day. Now the salesperson said that this shampoo is specially developed for women's long hair, and the effect is top-notch.

Wu Yue was a little strange. She has been coming to Weishan Lake for a while, and with her cleverness, of course she understands that all the good things in the world are made by Weishan Lake. But which factory made the shampoo? Wu Yue didn't have any news at all.

The salespeople are all human spirits, and immediately explained to her: "This lady, the shampoo is not produced in Weishan Lake." This brand-new product, produced by Qingzhou Petrochemical, was delivered to the store only a few days ago. ”

Wu Yue understood now. It turned out to be over there, and that side was also Young Master Qin's industry. Since it is something from Young Master Qin's industry, it must be a good thing.

She is willing to come to the Hermès boutique, not only because the things are much better, but also because of the good service attitude of the sales staff.

Not to mention such a warm reception and answer, even the name of oneself is different.

If you go to a department store, people will either ignore it, or call it "tube", as in here, people call themselves "lady".

In this way, Wu Yue was also greatly satisfied spiritually.

However, in the face of the sudden emergence of new products, Wu Yue's determination to buy clothes was shaken.

It's okay to leave your clothes on for a while, but if you don't wash your hair for a day, it's uncomfortable. If this shampoo is really as good as it boasts, you should buy it yourself!

She couldn't figure out which one to buy first, and at this time Wu Yue couldn't help but complain a little. This Qingzhou Petrochemical is also too annoying, but it produced shampoo at this time.

If Chai Jin knew Wu Yue's words, he would definitely point at her nose and scold: "Lao Tzu has worked hard to get a set of properties from his brother-in-law, and you dare to dislike it!" ”

This set of daily chemical product production line has indeed cost Chai Jin countless efforts.

Qin Mu appointed Chai Jin as the boss of Qingzhou Petrochemical, and Chai Jin was naturally very happy. But happy is happy, but Chai Jin is not blindly happy.

He understands what Qingzhou is, and he doesn't know what petrochemical is.

As the CEO of Qingzhou Petrochemical, I can't not understand anything, at least I must understand the meaning of these two words. Although he knows about oil, he doesn't know about chemical industry.

Qin Mu explained the connection between petroleum and chemical industry to Chai Jin in detail. In this way, Chai Jin suddenly realized that oil is not only made into kerosene, gasoline, diesel and asphalt, but also makes all kinds of good things.

Since he had this heart, he always looked for an opportunity to ask Qin Mu to build a chemical plant for him.

Chai Jin has such a pursuit, coupled with Mu Nanxing's pillow style, Qin Mu finally established a factory in Qingzhou in his busy schedule - the real Qingzhou Petrochemical.

This petrochemical plant is of course like a kitten and a dog than an elephant and a whale compared to later generations, but it is indeed a petrochemical plant. Not only oil is produced here, but daily necessities can also be produced.

The first daily necessities were detergent products, which were the main raw materials of later generations from petroleum.

So after a lot of hard work, shampoo appeared on the market for the first time in this time and space. It's a lot better than soap.

Of course, the appearance of this commodity was also immediately classified by Jia Hongxian. The department store sells shampoo, while Hermes sells it as shampoo.

The packaging is different, and the ratio is somewhat different. But the price of the two is worse than the old nose.

If Wu Yueken went to the department store and took a look, she would see a much cheaper shampoo.

Not to mention, Wu Yue was really moved this time. She wanted shampoo and clothes, so she left the boutique and entered the department store.

Department stores are much larger and more crowded than boutiques.

Wu Yue doesn't like so many people. The experience of visiting boutiques has raised her taste, so this kind of chaotic market environment makes her very unaccustomed.

It's not a perfect shopping experience.

It was at this moment that she suddenly saw a person. Wu Yue hurriedly greeted, "Brother Wu." ”

When the man saw Wu Yue, he also waved his hand at her and said, "Wu Guanzi." "This is Wulu, today Duan Huisi pulled Wulu to visit the department store, also to buy shampoo.

Duan Huisi didn't know Wu Yue, and when she saw Wu Dalang greeting such a beautiful little lady, she was suddenly a little alert.

"Da Lang, who is this?"

"Oh, I'll introduce you." Wu Lu introduced the two sides.

Wu Yue called her sister-in-law, and then said to Wu Lu: "Brother Wu, do you have any rich bicycle tickets in your factory?" ”

Bicycles are the most sought-after commodity in Weishan Lake, and they can be purchased with tickets. This ticket was naturally issued to various units.

Wu Lu is a worker in the machinery center, or a senior worker, with a high status. The mechanical center is the most important unit of Weishan Lake, and the natural welfare is much better.

Wu Yue felt that they might not run out of bicycle tickets.

Although Wu Yue's factory is also high-level and secretive, she is a newcomer, and her qualifications are not enough, and the bicycle ticket wheel is not her turn.

After today's incident, Wu Yue is not ready to take the bus anymore, she wants to buy a bicycle.

Without waiting for Wu Lu to speak, Duan Huisi first refused for his man: "This tube, Da Lang doesn't have many tickets from their factory, and my family only has a bicycle." ”

Duan Huisi said very clearly, my eldest man is capable, and he has bought all the bicycles. However, my family only has one car, if there is another ticket, it should be mine, you can rest wherever you want.

At present, although Weishan Lake has entered the industrial age, its marriage status has not changed.

Men can still marry wives and concubines.

But the industrial age is different from the agricultural age. At this time, there is no need for the original big family. On the contrary, small families live better.

This made women's ideas quickly adapt to the new society. As for men taking concubines, many women have begun to oppose them openly.

Although Duan Huisi didn't know what to say, he was very resolute in his heart. Never let a second woman enter the samurai's door.

Such a young and beautiful little lady, who is still a worker in a secret factory, is a great threat to herself, and she must block all possibilities from the beginning.

"Well, then it won't be troublesome." Wu Yue understands the world very well, since women don't want to, don't embarrass men.

She saw that Wu Lu seemed to be in a bad mood, she had just troubled others, and she couldn't turn her face and leave, so she asked more: "Brother Wu, why are you worried about work recently?" ”

This is also a polite remark. But Wu Lu was touched, he couldn't help sighing, and said to Wu Yue: "Recently, there have been several accidents in the steel plant, and several workers have been disabled. ”

The accident of the "this ......" factory is inevitable, although this Wu Yue has been here for a short time, but she also understands it. Safety production is always reminded by the factory director.

It's just that she doesn't know how to persuade Wulu. She knew that Wu Lu was originally a worker in a steel factory, and that he had only entered the machinery center later, and that many of the injured workers were his former colleagues.

"It's not all about Director Liang." Duan Huisi spoke: "Before the change, Lao Tong was the factory director, how could there be so many things." ”

After saying this, Duan Huisi immediately realized that he had lost his words. At this time, what kind of factory director is Tong, which pot is not opened.

Wu Lu didn't think about it so much, he thought that it was all a matter in the factory.

Director Liang is a new official, and he has never worked at the grassroots level, can he manage the steel plant well?
