Chapter 191: The Richest Man in the World: A Financial Empire!

Then, he took out a few small copper coins from his hand and said to the people present: "I have summoned all of you here today to tell you that in the near future, I will authorize Taoqiu Money Village to issue a new currency, which is this one!" I call this a copper coin a five-baht coin, and I hope you will cooperate with me in issuing this coin! ”

Everyone took the kind of five-baht coin in Dai Yan's hand and came to watch, and found that this kind of money was similar to the copper coin minted in the western part of Qin and Wei. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and this kind of money weighs only five baht, compared to the weight of Qin and Wei, it is too light! It's so lightweight that you basically don't have to cut your coins!

You know, at this time, the number of coins in the world was so varied that it was impossible to count, and the area of currency alone was divided into several pieces.

Like the Qi Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom, they generally use knife coins; The Sanjin region, where the Three Kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei are located, roughly used cloth coins; The Qin State in the West, after the Shang Dynasty reform, used ring money, that is, similar to the five-baht coin that Dai Yan was about to mint, but the weight was much more than the five-baht coin; The state of Chu in the south roughly uses copper shells.

At this time, there are no mandatory regulations on the right to issue currency. Anyone, as long as they have copper, can issue their own currency. However, in today's era, copper, as a strategic material of various countries, is almost entirely in the hands of princes, which is actually equivalent to the power to issue currency in the hands of the government.

The problem of unclear currency issuance rights is not a problem in today's world, and it was not until the Han Dynasty that he finally had a big problem! Because Liu Bi, the king of Wu at that time, mastered the copper mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, the four-baht money he issued was all over the world, and finally had the strength to rebel. Since then, most of the unified countries have recognized this problem and have had to nationalize the power to issue money.

However, if Taoqiu issues currency, there will be absolutely no problem for Dai Yan! Today, Taoqiu is the commercial center of the world, and a large amount of money and materials enter every day. And he has already mastered a considerable amount of copper in his hands through exchanges and money banks, plus this looting, and he can completely cast the copper in his hands into five-baht coins one by one and issue them in Taoqiu!

And the five-baht coin he issued was made using the latest new technology developed by the Mohists: the mother coin sand turning method! In today's era, most copper coins and copper utensils are made by pouring method, and the mother coin sand turning method is definitely a real black technology!

The pouring method is to first use mud or copper to cast a mold for coins, and then use a mold to pour coins, so it is called pouring method. The use of pouring method to make copper coins, whether it is pouring with clay and stone fans, or pouring with copper fans, in Dai Yan's eyes, this is the coinage method of the pure manual era. In this way, most of the time spent minting copper coins is actually spent on the casting mold. And for example, most of the coinage methods used in various countries today are actually these things.

For example, the kingdoms of Qi and the Three Jin Kingdoms, and even the Yan Kingdom all used clay or stone models to cast. Of course, due to the developed handicraft industry, Qi has a more developed coinage industry than other countries; Qi people can mint several knife coins on one dollar, which is also a big innovation.

The Qin State in the west and the Chu State in the south were more advanced than other countries in terms of coinage, and they directly chose the copper fan to cast. Compared with clay and stone, the biggest advantage of copper fan is that it is durable, and a copper fan can mint multiple coins, and it also saves the time of long-term minting of coins. Later, the Western Han Dynasty improved this on the basis of the Qin State copper fan coinage method, and invented the stacking casting method of using the copper fan as a mold and then reproducing the clay model. At first, the stacked casting method only recast clay fan, and later recast pottery fan, which was used from the Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang dynasties.

The law of mother money sand turning was invented after the Sui and Tang dynasties, which is completely different from the method of pouring money!

It is the first to use the technique of carving to make the mother money, that is, the lead mold. This type of carved mother coin can be carved either from copper or with softer tin. This step is handmade, so you can completely control the weight and aesthetics of the coin in this step.

After the mother money is made, you can use the mother money to match the sand to make a characteristic money fan, and after the money fan is made, you can pour the copper liquid. Coins made by the mother coin sand turning method do not need to be dried and baked like the pouring method, but only need to be cooled naturally, and then the coin is slightly cleaned, trimmed, and polished, and the coin is minted.

And unlike the pouring method, which can only mint one or several coins at a time, the mother coin sand turning method can make dozens of coins at a time. And if there is enough copper and the minting is carried out without interruption, it is easy to make 100,000 coins a day! Compared with the scale of today's annual currency production of all countries is only one million, what is it if it is not black technology?

In the Song Dynasty, with the mother money sand turning method, whether it was the Liao, Western Xia, and Jin that threatened the Song Dynasty, or the Goryeo, Japan, and Dali around the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty copper coins were regarded as hard currency! Because this kind of copper coin is exquisitely made, the value is much higher than the face value of the copper coins minted by the surrounding countries, although the face value is the same, and finally the effect of "good money drives out bad money" was gradually achieved, and the copper coins of the Song Dynasty expelled the currencies of the surrounding countries by themselves! At that time, the currency of the Song Dynasty was a well-deserved hard currency in the whole of East Asia, and there was no obstacle to the passage of various countries!

In Dai Yan's view, with this kind of output and the exquisite copper coins minted, as long as its value is sufficient and the output is sufficient, it is not difficult to achieve the effect of "good money driving out bad money" and gradually expelling the currencies of various countries from the market!

All the merchants present couldn't help but be a little shocked when they saw the exquisiteness of this new five-baht coin again, and after hearing the approximate output described by Dai Yan. Everyone can see the ambition of this Tao Qiujun from this coin!

However, although they knew that Dai Yan had great ambitions, it was also beneficial for them to help Taoqiu Coin issue such coins, so the merchants present agreed to cooperate with Taoqiu Coin to issue this new type of coin!

After talking about the coin, Dai Yan continued: "In the past, when we all joined together, we could roughly determine the rise and fall of the grain on the exchange. Now that Yidun has joined, we can roughly determine the food supply of the entire world, and then monopolize the grain trade of the entire world! If it is well controlled, through the supply of food in the world, we can determine the direction of the wars of various countries when the nations are in great war, and the power of the whole world may be in our hands! ”

As soon as they heard Dai Yan's words, the businessmen present were stunned at first, and then they all fell into a frenzy!

What is a man's greatest pursuit in life? Isn't it just to wake up to the power of the world and get drunk and lie on the knees of beautiful women!

What is a Merchant? In today's world, although they are extremely wealthy, in the eyes of the princes, they are just a bunch of untouchables!

Guan Zhong ranked several major occupations in the world: Shinong businessman, businessman is at the bottom!

The merchants present were all the top figures among the merchants, although they were richer than the princes, but they all had an unspeakable pain in their hearts: they had no power, and they were despised by the princes of the nations!

Who of them does not aspire to power and respect? Now that Dai Yan said that he can let them control the power of the world, how can this not make them crazy?

However, at this moment, Yi Wei, the big businessman who had just joined the Heze Club, said coldly: "Holding the power of the world, this kind of thing can be just thought about, but it is impossible for us to really do it!" Although we can monopolize the world's grain trade together, once we really anger the princes of the big countries, how can we withstand the use of swords and soldiers? How strong the strength is, how much benefit can there be! As a big businessman, don't you think you don't understand this truth? ”

Yiwei's basin of cold water poured directly on everyone's heads, making the most fanatical people calm down.

At this moment, Dai Yan heard Yi Wei's speech, but clapped his hands.

Then he said to everyone: "What Yi Wei said is true, although the power of merchants is stronger in the world than before, it is still far from being able to compete with the princes of the great powers!" This is inferior strength, and the only way to defeat them is to strengthen our own strength! My attitude towards you, from my administration this year, and Mr. Yang Zhu's arrival in Taoqiu, I think you can see clearly, I am completely on everyone's side, and to enhance my strength is to increase everyone's strength! Do you think so? ”

As soon as they heard Dai Yan's words, everyone present immediately spoke: "What Cao Gong said is extremely true! ”

Dai Yan continued: "Of course, I also know that some of you still have doubts about me. However, I will give you the opportunity to choose, a chance to make money for everyone! Everyone will follow me in the future, and they only need to do what is in their own interests, and I will never force everyone and harm everyone's interests!

Nowadays, all of you have a trading house, and most of them have a rich bank. Then I would like to propose that you jointly form a money bank alliance, within this alliance, everyone can settle accounts with each other! Any money order from any bank must be able to exchange the full amount of money from another bank! If we can do that, we will be able to control the flow of money in the world in the first place, what do you think? ”

When the businessmen present heard this suggestion, they were all stunned. Only a few people reacted, if the merchants present really formed such an alliance, then as long as enough money was allocated among the money banks in various places, wouldn't it mean that the merchants did not need to move money around for trade at all? This business has done the world, and a bill of exchange can be transferred to the world, how much profit should this be?

Therefore, those who understood immediately agreed to this suggestion, and most of those who did not understand also agreed to this condition after explanation! Even if this condition can't really improve the strength of the merchants, but if it can make them make more money, they will never refuse it!

And only Dai Yan, who made this suggestion, fully understood what he was doing! In fact, he is to establish a settlement system in the whole world, and control the most important currency settlement power!

In later generations, some people believed that the right to issue money was the most important power of the central bank, and in Dai Yan's view, if it was for a single country, it might indeed be the case. However, in the broader sense of the world, the right to settle money is much more important than the right to issue!

It's like the later generations of the Red Rabbit Country has its own central bank, and its own currency issuance power is completely controlled by itself, so I think the currency of the Red Rabbit Country should not be manipulated by other countries, right? However, this is not the case, the currency of the Red Rabbit Country has actually been unable to avoid being manipulated by other countries!

If the US imperialists let your renminbi appreciate, you will have to appreciate! Do you dare to agree, believe it or not, I will kill you?

Why is that? It is nothing more than that the credit of the renminbi is pegged to the US dollar, although the US imperialists cannot affect the amount of your own domestic currency, but it can control the amount of your own currency to have an indirect impact on you!

It's like the other side is in the upper reaches of a river, and the other party has the valve to intercept the river. And he said to those who live downstream, "Bring me the grain you have harvested, and if you don't send it, believe it or not, I will drown you in the water?"

If you don't want to be drowned, you have to accept the other person's terms.

Now Dai Yan first established such a clearing system, which is to grasp the power to open and close the floodgates!

And he can also issue this new five-baht coin to the whole world through the alliance of money banks formed by everyone present, and collect seigniorage from the world!

And Dai Yan's more powerful killing move was still to come, and without waiting for everyone to digest the opinions he raised, he said directly: "From now on, everyone must also get used to using this five-baht coin as soon as possible, because in the near future, the futures trade in the entire Taoqiu Grain Exchange will only charge five baht!" ”

When the merchants present heard the news, they did not say anything. Compared with such a big thing as forming a money alliance, this matter seemed to be just a small matter, and they happily agreed. However, they had no idea how powerful this trick was!

What is the core of the petrodollar of later US imperialism? It is nothing more than a simple agreement between US imperialism and Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia's oil is settled in US dollars.

However, if people think that this is just a very small power, they are very wrong!

Hussein and Kadazo both once wanted to subvert this system: I can sell my oil to whomever I want, I can exchange it for water, but I don't sell it to you US imperialism! What happened to them? Both were annihilated, one was caught and hanged by the US military, and the other was directly shot!

The core of oil settlement in US dollars is actually to ensure the financial pricing power of the world's highest value futures, oil futures!

In the future, Dai Yan is only allowed to settle grain futures with five baht, in fact, he also hopes to control this power!

The right to issue currency, the right to settle currency, plus the pricing power of the world's largest financial products, Taoqiu Qianzhuang, which has these three powers, will become the central bank of the whole world, which is the big plan that Dai Yan has been planning for a year!

What is the most profitable business in the world? If there is really to say it, then there is only one, start a central bank! Because this business is robbing you of your money, and you have to accept it willingly!

Rothschild, the most famous banker of later generations, said: As long as I can control the currency issuance of a country (the sign of opening a central bank), I don't care who makes the law!

Now Dai Yan's plan is like this, through the union of these big businessmen, Taoqiu Qianzhuang will gradually become the "Federal Reserve" of the whole world. Of course, to achieve this, he will need to accumulate over time and gradually drive the currencies issued by various countries out of the market. And because he does not have complete control over the world's copper, one of the three important powers of the central bank, he does not have a complete monopoly on the right to issue money. Therefore, he needs to greatly enhance Taoqiu's ability to absorb the wealth of the world, and this needs a strong industry to support!

And most importantly, although Dai Yan never doubted that Taoqiu Qianzhuang would gradually grow up with these three powers, and Taoqiu Qianzhuang would be able to become the "Federal Reserve" of the world, but if Taoqiu did not have a strong force to protect it at that time, this financial hegemony was very likely to dissipate and be seized by other countries!

Dai Yanke has never forgotten the most important thing in doing business: how much strength can you get and how much profit! In later generations, the Federal Reserve dared to use its position as a global central bank to wantonly suck blood, and that was suppressed by ten nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and thousands of nuclear warheads!

However, after this gathering, after this gathering, the big businessmen of Dai Yan organized Taoqiu began to try to build the financial order of the whole world, and a real financial empire was thus established!
