Chapter 103: Private Coins
The bank's affairs have been decided, so now we have to prepare for the preliminary work, and there is not much to talk about privately with Tang Xiaoyun, so I will have breakfast in peace, and after eating, I will find Jing Chongtang, Tang Yunliang and others, and tell me that the bank is going to establish a bank and plan to hand it over to Tang Xiaoyun for management.
Tang Jingchong and others were naturally happy to let Tang Xiaoyun control the important position of bank president, which showed that Hu Lin was really moved when he saw it as his own person, and the bank can be said to be the lifeblood of a force, although it cannot be said that the president can directly transfer the funds in the bank, which is also a sign of recognition.
Since it was his granddaughter who came to be the president, Tang Jingchong was very concerned, and heard that he was looking for a few acquaintances who worked in the bank
Come to help Tang Xiaoyun, when you personally repair the book to a few people, please come and help.
In addition, the bank chose a construction site in Nanning, and after thinking about it again and again, there happened to be a familiar businessman who had a house on the street of the main city, which was spacious enough, although he was running some silk brocade and other businesses, he could still go out and put it down.
There are also problems such as the staff in the bank, and they directly find those money banks, let their families share some manpower and material resources, and then return them to the newcomers after training.
Hu Lin knew that the currency was a gold standard system in the future, and the gold that he had access to during the Qing Dynasty had converged, and he had been trading with silver taels, and had accumulated a considerable amount of gold.
In 1816, Britain promulgated the Gold Standard Act to implement the gold standard and promote the conversion of gold into world currency. Subsequently, Germany announced the gold standard in 1871, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and other countries also implemented the gold standard in 1873, and Japan later implemented the gold standard in 1897.
Hu Lin gave a detailed introduction to the implementation of the gold standard in Europe and the United States and Tang Jingchong in modern times, at this time the Qing Dynasty was still a silver standard system, which suffered a big loss in the days to come, and Hu Lin naturally would not follow the foolishness.
Tang Jingchong heard Hu Lin say this, and he also knew that when he dealt with foreigners in the future, he would inevitably follow the same road. Otherwise, it is himself who suffers, and he promised to reserve as much gold as possible.
Hu Lin didn't really care about the gold that Tang Jingchong went to collect, after all, it wouldn't be much, it was just an add-on. In the future, Hu Lin will have many ways to make gold from foreigners, and to a greater extent, before foreigners restrict gold exchange for huàn during the period of one stop.
However, Tang Jingchong is in this official position, and the power of radiation is not small, and it will be even greater in the future, calculated by all parties. The amount of gold that can be collected is not small.
The matter on the Nanning side is so big that after the negotiation is settled, they will go to prepare for the matter, and Hu Lin will have to rush back to Pingshan, there are still many things to do, and the establishment of the bank will involve many things.
First of all, it was a matter of its own coinage, and now Pingshan uses silver bars stamped in modern times, which are mainly circulated in Guangxi in practice, and the problem is not big for the time being, and the total amount is not too large, which is considered their own territory. It's going to be fine for the time being, but it's going to be troublesome for a long time.
After opening a bank, he naturally had to mint his own coins, not only to say that it was safer in circulation, but also to save Hulin a lot of silver taels from the profits of his own coinage, which was harmless.
Of course, private individuals cannot mint coins at will, and if they are minted by local governments, it involves officialdom. It is better to inform the court that it is better to make it yourself in private.
Originally, Hu Lin wanted to directly use Pingshan as the name, but now he is quietly minting currency privately, and he definitely can't come clearly. Hirayama has not yet reached the time when he has begun to rebel in the open, so he can only imitate the currency.
Copper coins, just imitate Beiyang, the copper coins of the Beiyang Copper Yuan Foundry Bureau have a large circulation, and they are also the common circulation copper coins and silver dollars in the Qing Dynasty. The largest circulating volume is naturally the Mexican Eagle Ocean, with 8 silver, 1.2 copper, 0.8 lead, 39 mm diameter, weight 27.07 grams, and 95.30% fineness. This is also what we are familiar with the foreign yuan, which shows how much Yingyang flooded in the Qing Dynasty.
The profits of this coinage were made by foreigners, and now Hu Lin imitated them and circulated them outside, but they left a part of the profits in China, which was also regarded as doing something good for the Qing Dynasty.
The cost of coinage is higher for the people of the Qing Dynasty, and in Hu Lin's opinion, the difficulty and efficiency are also a headache, but Hu Lin is different, modern industrial silver, copper, and abrasive stamping equipment, these are too easy to do, and a set of assembly lines can be made on the market.
Open a retro stamping die, carved out in a modern machining center, it doesn't take much time, and it won't cause suspicion, plus the efficiency of modern stamping equipment compared to the Qing Dynasty Mint, it is the same feeling as flying, how much, how much to make, and it will not collapse the monetary system of the Qing Dynasty for the time being, it seems that the Qing Dynasty has no so-called monetary system at all.
These things, go back to Pingshan and send an email to Zheng Yating of Hyundai Dahua Company, now after the Qing Dynasty is connected to the Internet, there is no need for Hu Lin to go to modern times to deal with these things, it is much more convenient, as long as you go to receive it and then pull it back all over the place.
Pingshan's bank, that is, the old money village temporarily turned over Pingshan's finance, is now going to be integrated into the banking system, although the name will not change, it is still named after the money village, and it is also used as the head office, so the old network point needs to be adjusted and incorporated into Tang Xiaoyun's management.
For the time being, the head office only receives money turnover from branches around the country and near Pingshan, and does not need to make changes, nor does it need to build new offices.
After bidding farewell to Tang Jingchong and others, Hu Lin returned to Pingshan, first of all, he informed Pingshan Qian Zhuang to be incorporated into the banking system in the future, as the main bank, only accept local business, and was under the jurisdiction of the new president Tang Xiaoyun.
Immediately called back Li Guangchou, who was handling affairs outside, and Chen Rui, who was in charge of the construction project, to discuss the rebuilding of the silver treasury. The result of the negotiation was that the previous bank did not need to be moved, and a large pit was dug directly next to it, and a large basement was built, with a plan of 5,000 square meters and a height of 4 meters, which was enough to meet the reserve space of silver and gold.
Since it is a silver warehouse, it is natural to build a strong one-meter thick cement wall, floor, plus a layer of steel plates, but the steel plate is now a bit troublesome, but also from the modern to pull, if it is purchased from foreigners, transportation is a problem, and there is no one to weld, you can't find foreigners to build a silver warehouse.
After arguing with Chen Rui for a long time, he still gave up the installation of steel plates and thickened the cement wall in the soil position, in fact, in the hinterland of Pingshan, if someone can dig a tunnel to steal this silver vault, that is Hu Lin's failure, there are basically no outsiders can enter the village, the village can only be entered by the more than 1,000 indigenous villagers, and other special ones are also accompanied by people and will not leave sight. (To be continued.) )
