Li Weiguo's first set of renminbi was soon unveiled on the board of directors, which attracted the attention of all shareholders of the board of directors, who exclaimed that this is the world's most exquisite banknote, with incomparably complex patterns, clear watermark heads, hidden anti-counterfeiting engraving patterns and denominations, no matter which one, it is the world's leading, throwing the banknotes of Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Russia and other countries out of a few streets.

"I was able to print the photo of our AIIB on the banknote, which made it look more intuitive, and I could recognize it as our AIIB banknote at a glance."

"With the watermark so clear, it seems that no one can imitate the banknotes issued by our AIIB."

"Once this set of banknotes is officially released, it will be enough to shock the world!"

"When you compare the banknotes of other countries with the banknotes of our AIIB, they are simply weak, just a pile of toilet paper!"

"When will this set of banknotes be officially issued? I can't wait to buy it! ”

"I seem to have seen the spectacle of our AIIB dominating the world currency market!"

……

The shareholders of the board of directors are quite excited, and they are all full of confidence in the future development of the AIIB.

If these shareholders were still complaining that Li Weiguo's empty gloves and white wolves took advantage of them, now they have all shut up, and they all know that following Li Weiguo will get greater benefits, and those shareholders who always obstruct or disobey Li Weiguo's orders are now also smiling, as if they have never opposed Li Weiguo.

The faces and expressions of the shareholders fell on Li Weiguo's eyes, he smiled faintly, everything was in his hands, and now he is waiting for the official issuance of the yuan, when the AIIB will be a blockbuster and remembered by everyone in the world.

It can be said that this set of renminbi will become the face of the AIIB and its core interests.

Looking at the banknotes of various countries in this era, the pattern is very simple, just like an envelope, write a lot of words on it, make a simple pattern, and then stamp it and it's done. For example, the 100 pounds issued in 1850 had a bunch of English letters on it, but these letters were artistically processed with fine art, and were mixed into print, circle, court cursive and Carolingian lowercase to form a pattern composed entirely of letters and numbers.

If the renminbi and the pound are put on the market at the same time for everyone to choose, it is obvious that everyone will choose the beautiful and picturesque renminbi, which is the subconscious behavior of human beings in pursuit of perfection, which is understandable.

Next, Li Weiguo presided over the board of directors and discussed with shareholders the specific matters of issuing RMB, and the shareholders fully agreed with Li Weiguo's various proposals, and no one stood up to oppose or mess around.

Li Weiguo knew that from this moment on, he really took control of the board of directors and won the complete support of shareholders.

At present, the conditions for the issuance of the renminbi have been completed, and all the equipment of the banknote printing machine has been put in place, and as long as the electric board is installed, the banknote printing machine can be started to print the renminbi on a large scale.

However, before the final release, Li Weiguo still has one more thing to do, that is, digital coding anti-counterfeiting. Although it is very difficult for the renminbi to be forged at present, Li Weiguo knows very well that in this era of the law of the jungle, all the great powers will secretly issue counterfeit banknotes to the hostile countries, which can not only hit the economy of the hostile countries, but also earn huge sums of money, killing two birds with one stone.

The current China is the fat in the eyes of the great powers, and they can't wait to carve up China immediately, so Li Weiguo has to guard against it.

This set of digital code anti-counterfeiting is not for the outside, but for the AIIB internal, after all, the printing of the RMB is in the AIIB, by the AIIB workers are responsible for the completion, in addition to the necessary confidentiality work, but also to prevent the AIIB high-level guards from stealing, after all, they are all foreigners, Li Weiguo can not trust them, so a set of digital coding system has been developed to guard against it.

Li Weiguo, based on his experience, will encode each banknote with a sexagenary branch and an 18-digit number.

The heavenly stems are A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, NON, and de, and the earthly branches are Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.

If only one group of the sexagenary branch is selected, it represents the year, and the cycle of 60 years is obviously not enough for the renminbi that will increase its circulation sharply in the future, so Li Weiguo directly selected four groups at the beginning, that is, the so-called eight characters, so that there are more than 8 billion combinations. The last eighteen digits are the actual banknote code, which is used to record how many banknotes were issued.

However, Li Weiguo is very shrewd, each of the eighteen digits is ten numbers from 0 to 9, Li Weiguo will stipulate the number of numbers on each bit, such as 0 to 9 arbitrary numbers are allowed in the single digit, the number 5 is not allowed in the ten digits, 8 is not allowed in the hundred digits, 2 and 4 are not allowed in the thousand digits, and so on, there are numbers that are not allowed to appear on each one, and once the numbers that are not allowed to appear are found in the actual distribution, then it must be fake.

In this way, the sexagenary branch extracts 4 groups as prefixes, plus the following 18 digits, and the combination of the two makes the encoding far more secure than the later RMB code, and even supercomputers have to calculate for hundreds of years to decode.

Li Weiguo put himself in charge of this set of coded books, so that people inside the AIIB could not issue the renminbi privately, because the renminbi without the code could not be circulated.

The shareholders of the AIIB fully agree with Li Weiguo's approach, because this will prevent the AIIB from indiscriminately issuing paper money and triggering currency depreciation.

Half a month later, the preparation was completed, and the RMB was officially issued by the AIIB.

The renminbi is directly linked to gold, and 1 yuan can be directly exchanged for huàn two coins of pure gold (10 grams), and can be exchanged for huàn 4 taels of flat silver, which is equivalent to one pound sterling.

In order to facilitate the use of RMB by ordinary people, the AIIB issues small denominations of RMB, which are 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, 100 cents, 200 cents, 500 cents, and 1000 cents is 1 yuan.

Li Weiguo took into account the chaotic circulation of silver dollar coins and copper yuan coins, and the shortage of catties and catties, so the AIIB implemented the mechanism of floating exchange of silver dollar coins and copper coins to huàn yuan, and adjusted the exchange ratio to huàn at any time according to market conditions.

Although the renminbi at this time was only the currency used by the AIIB for its own financial settlement, it was not yet the official currency of the Qing government, and was only used as a private banknote, and Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries were also in a wait-and-see attitude, but for people from all walks of life in Shanghai, they were happy, because they finally had their own country's banknotes.

As we all know, from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, China began to circulate gold coins and silver coins in Europe and the United States, and occupied a large market share, to the Qing Dynasty, the silver coins of European and American countries entered China on a large scale, and the Qing government once issued Qing currency banknotes to prevent it, but soon because the Qing government issued currency banknotes indiscriminately, the value of the banknotes depreciated sharply, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the market value of one thousand taels of banknotes was only twenty taels, and almost no one was subscribing.

But at the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the establishment of treaty ports, the volume of trade increased dramatically, and the merchants carried hundreds of catties and thousands of catties of gold, silver and copper coins to trade, it was too tiring and too troublesome, they wanted to settle with the paper money of Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries, but the Qing government did not allow it, once it was found out was a big crime, so the merchants could only trade with gold, silver and copper coins, and a few bold people secretly had foreign banknote transactions.

Now Li Weiguo's AIIB issued RMB, which belonged to the Qing Dynasty's own currency (declared to the imperial court to be a silver ticket), and was secretly supported by hundreds of shareholders from Europe and the United States.

With businessmen from all walks of life in Shanghai taking the lead in subscribing to the RMB, ordinary people also found that the RMB system was exquisite, just like the real paintings, so they also began to exchange huàn on a small scale.

The common people are very careful, they dare not be gullible, and often exchange silver or copper coins for renminbi today, and tomorrow they will hurriedly come to the AIIB to exchange renminbi for silver or copper coins.

For this mentality, Li Weiguo is very clear that it will take time for the people to recognize the RMB, but he believes that as long as the people recognize the RMB, they will fully support it in the future and completely abandon the Qing Dynasty copper coins and foreign currencies.

However, Li Weiguo also understands that if he wants the renminbi to dominate China, he still needs to obtain the approval of the government in the end, and only by changing the financial settlement of the Qing government from Kuping silver to renminbi and replacing Kuping silver as the official circulation legal tender can he completely control China's financial currency market.

This was a long and difficult road, but as soon as Li Weiguo thought that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was about to deal a heavy blow to the Qing court, and the Second Opium War broke out, Li Weiguo only needed to choke the Cao Yun in Shanghai and cut off the southern fiscal tax revenue, which would force the Qing government to compromise and make the renminbi the official legal tender.

As soon as he thought that moment was coming, Li Weiguo couldn't help but be excited and excited.

Just when Li Weiguo was looking forward to the future, Zhang Xiaoliu led a thousand Li Jiajun back to Chongming, and when he passed through Shanghai, he learned that Li Weiguo was here, and hurriedly came to report the situation.

"Bastard, why did you come back on your own? What about Madame? ”

Knowing that Zhang Xiaoliu came back by himself and didn't bring Fu Shanxiang back, Li Weiguo was immediately furious.

"Young Master is angry!" Zhang Xiaoliu hurriedly explained: "First, the war is too motivating, hundreds of thousands of Qing troops encircle and suppress the Taiping army in all directions, and the Taiping army is fleeing for their lives every day, we can't get close to the Taiping army at all, and we can't take my wife out." Second, the Taiping Army also has concerns, Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing are not worried about the young master, and they are not willing to unilaterally hand over people, and want us to exchange hostages at the same time. ”

Li Weiguo said with a calm face: "It seems that Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing are uncomfortable after eating the loss of Young Master Ben, and they want to embarrass Young Master Ben." ”

Zhang Xiaoliu asked, "Young Master, what should we do then?" ”

Li Weiguo thought about it, suddenly snorted coldly, and ordered: "Since they don't think they have eaten enough, Young Master Ben will disgust them again, and later you will send someone to Jinling to send a letter to Miss Shen, doesn't the Taiping Army still have millions of taels of silver in the Shen family's money bank, and Young Master Ben will deduct it for him first, see if I am in a hurry or Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing are in a hurry?" ”

So, Li Weiguo wrote a letter to Shen Ziyan, and then Zhang Xiaoliu sent someone to send it to Jinling quickly.
