Chapter 480 [Bai Dong's Counterattack]
Bai Dong was actually very happy, because a smart person finally appeared; In fact, from the time he made an agreement with the owners of these silver mines to buy their mineral silver at a high price, Bai Dong guessed that there would be a smart guy who would show up, and it was only a matter of time.
When signing agreements with these silver mines, Bai Dong gave sufficiently favorable conditions, and the Bai family's trading base would not hesitate to suppress the price of silver at the same time, but also buy their mineral silver at a higher price, the purpose of which was to ask them to cooperate as much as possible, and at the same time to make the Bai family's money, they would 'not repurchase' and 'not resell'; the purpose of the Bai family was to promote the new silver, once it was done, it would be beneficial to the whole of China, not to mention that in the process of promoting the new silver, they, the silver miners, had already made a lot of money, if they secretly bought the low-priced silver from the Bai family's trading base, and then sell it back to the Bai family at a high price, is this still making money in business? This is more ruthless than robbers robbing money! Therefore, when Bai Dong proposed the terms of the agreement, except for the Baguo Shu Kingdom, which did not participate in Bai Dong's plan, the rest of the countries and aristocratic families were engraved on the bamboo slips, and even printed on the brocade book.
I thought that it was human nature to take risks in the face of huge interests, but I didn't expect that people in this era are really too kind and moral, even these businessmen are the masters of a promise, half a year has passed, the major silver mines in China strictly abide by the bottom line of business, truthfully fulfill the agreement, so that Bai Dong is depressed, I thought that his 'plan' was about to be stillborn, and suddenly received a letter from bitter wine and dog leftovers, Bai Dong laughed excitedly, and spent a romantic and unforgettable night with fleas in Hokkaido.
The biggest obstacle to the promotion of new silver is not the owners of copper mines, although the use value of silver is not comparable to that of copper and iron. But the idea that silver is more expensive than copper has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As long as you can completely control the silver of Huaxia and suppress the price of silver. The Chinese people will be happy to use silver coins, so the biggest obstacle is actually the owners of these silver mines.
In order to realize the silver standard system, in fact, the most convenient way is to suppress the price of silver on the one hand, and buy a few silver mines in China on the other, so as to fundamentally control the silver market, but how many silver mines are there in China? For those noble families and great powers, this is their fate! If it is forcibly acquired, even if the financial resources of the White Family Alliance are sufficient, it will attract a huge backlash! The lack of a name will only damage the good reputation that Baizi has worked so hard to build. At that time, everyone in the world will talk about Bai Zi's oppression of people and Lao Qin's ambition, which is a result that Bai Dong does not want to see.
Now that the Xiang family of Chu has jumped out, and the Zhang family of South Korea has also jumped out, the two world-famous families have blatantly torn up the agreement and secretly bought silver to harm the Bai family; The Bai family is now a kind person who has been miserably killed, and he is bent on planning for Huaxia, but he has been severely cheated by his partners, how can people in the world not sympathize with such a 'weak person'?
"Our chance has finally come."
Bai Dong sat down, first picked up the tea bowl and drank wildly, and then laughed: "King Ba and King Shu are just that." These two countries have never joined our 'Promoting New Silver' program, but the Xiang family and the Zhang family are different, they are for the sake of small profits. It will only be despised by the people of the world! Now no matter what the Bai family does or how they do it, people in the world will only say that they are not, but the Bai family is famous. ”
Kujiu glared at him, "When did you come back?" What about the Bai family's sea boats! ”
"As early as half a month ago, I had returned to Huaxia, and the Baijiahai ship had secretly landed from Yue, and the silver ore it carried had already been secretly distributed to the smelters of Qi and Yue, and in ten days, the first batch of 'Shijian Silver' would be put into the Huaxia market and distributed to the major commercial bases as soon as possible."
"Iwami Gin? The last time I saw your book, you actually drew a map for the island of Japan, and gave countless place names, this Iwami is your so-called silver-producing land, but is Iwami's silver really enough for Huaxia? Ping An Lang, this time we spent countless financial resources, just to implement your new silver system, it seems that no matter how it is calculated, it is a money-losing transaction, and now we have to break the face with the Zhang family of the Xiang family. These two families are bastards, provoking the Bai family is looking for death, but their strength is not to be underestimated, the Bai family wants to deal with them, I don't know how much financial resources and manpower will be spent, Ping An Lang, I really don't understand the way you do things now! ”
Gou Yuzi originally admired his former little friend, so when Bai Dong advocated the implementation of the new silver, although he had some different opinions in his heart, he would blindly follow it out of inertia; It's just that Bai Dong's sudden secret return to China this time made him a little disappointed, and he just hid it from himself, and even hid the bitter wine? Hehe Ping'an Lang is now a Xijun, a white son, his reputation is getting bigger and bigger, his title is getting higher and higher, and he is gradually acting arbitrarily and arbitrarily. Otherwise, how could they meddle in the affairs of the grass? Isn't that nerd good, not to mention worse than himself, even worse than Syald! What is the king of the Yue Kingdom, if there is no Ping'an Lang to defend it wholeheartedly, if there is no strong support from the Bai family, he is only afraid that he is still standing on the podium of Fengming Academy? In the final analysis, it was the grass that made him very dissatisfied,
"I know that you will have many grievances, which is nothing, and I will sue you for the truth. I know what you're worried about, but you can rest assured that the amount of silver produced by Iwami Mita alone is enough for hundreds of years in China! If I am willing to pour Iwami's silver into China, the price of silver in China will become cheaper than the price of copper, do you believe it? Otherwise, I am not stupid, how can I lightly implement the 'new silver' system, and where would I dare to think of unifying the Chinese currency into silver coins? Bai Dong glanced at the dog leftover with a smile, knowing that this kid was probably still fighting against himself for the sake of Cao'er, but it was not appropriate to mention Cao'er and Wuli at this time, just point to the silver and talk.
"It sounds beautiful to turn copper coins into silver coins, but what can the Bai family get out of it? You said that the copper and iron that can be saved are conducive to military farming, but at that time, it will not be the Qin family that will benefit, but the countries under the heavens will benefit, and the countries under the heavens may not all be friends of the Qin State, and some may even become enemies, and the Bai family has worked hard to make them richer and stronger? ”
Gou Yuzi is now a big man, but compared with the big man, there are also different visions, and now he can see this, and he naturally thinks that he is justified and a loyal minister who is angrily admonishing the 'faint king'.
"As a Qin person, you have to think about the Qin State, but should you only think about the Qin State? The king once mentioned the same problem to me, and I told him that if he only saw the benefits of Qin, he would be limited to one country for the rest of his life; If he has the interests of the ten countries in his eyes, he will become the hegemon of the world; If he has the whole of China in his eyes, then Lao Qin must dominate China! You have to remember how big your heart is, how big your world is that copper coins turn into silver coins, and it is not only the Qin State that gets the benefits, but isn't it the Qin State that can benefit the most? As long as the Bai family has the silver of the world, they have the power to determine the value of the currency, and in the future, the currency offices of all countries will look at the eyes of my Fenghui Money Bank! Japan has a large amount of silver, which can save a lot of copper and iron resources for Huaxia, and in the future, we can build more than 100,000 elite soldiers, so that all of them have copper armor and endless copper and iron arrows! Then they can conquer the whole world! You have to remember that when the stage is not big enough, it is inevitable that the Chinese countries will fight each other and cause trouble on the family wall; But when the stage is big enough, the Chinese countries are the closest brothers and comrades-in-arms, because at that time they will be unanimous to the outside world! Besides, would I be a fool? The first strong country in China will only be Lao Qin, because I am here and there is the Bai family trading company! ”
Bai Dong glared at the dog leftovers and ignored him, and turned to bitter wine and said: "Xijun, today we will stop buying the silver produced by the major silver mines, and at the same time lower the price of silver to another copper!" Sue those silver mines for me, if they are willing to sell the silver mines, the Bai family will welcome them, and if this matter is discussed this month, the Bai family will also give a reasonable price, and every month that passes, the purchase price will fall by 10%, without any negotiation. Doesn't there be a lot of silver in Baguo and Shu? I sent them a book in my name, and I said that I said that the silver would soon be worthless, and now it is the wise people who sell the mines, and they will not be able to wait for it!
