Chapter 321: The World's Largest Gold Reserves
readx; The businessmen of the Huaxia Society do not take out such a huge proportion of funds every year to distribute social benefits to the political axe like the East China Group, the first reason is that they do not have the development advantage of the East China Group, and they may have to take out a part of the money as working capital to avoid problems in the capital chain.

In addition, you also need to leave some money for yourself to enjoy life, there are businessmen who are still very frugal after being rich, and a large part of them are such misers who are not willing to spend money, but when the miser faces some problems, such as the country is at war, he will give generously, or he is dying and finds that there is a lot of money every time he spends, he immediately throws most of the money out to do charity, there are really many such people, sometimes it is a miser to become a rich man.
Stinginess has the benefit of being stingy, and sometimes stinginess will also delay efficiency, and clever stinginess is to be stingy without delaying efficiency.
However, there are not too many misers in the merchant group, and generally speaking, although such strange things are easy to find in society, they do not account for too much of a large proportion.
The richer they are, the more stingy they become, and sometimes it is also a lack of security, because they themselves use up their money and become poor.
Most businessmen still need some money to enjoy, build luxury houses, drive luxury cars and other high-quality lives.
Therefore, the proportion of money handed over to the state is not large, this is in ordinary times, if it is in wartime, these national businessmen will definitely give generously in groups, this is a characteristic of national businessmen.
Because the state represents the interests of the nation, these businessmen rely on the nation to survive, and if the interests of the nation are damaged, the interests of the collective are damaged.
Some businessmen do not give money to the state, but do charity themselves, which is also allowed in peacetime, and is encouraged by the political axe.
Anyway, it wasn't a war period, and the merchants of the Huaxia Society didn't have to take it and hand over the political axe.
But every year, there is still a lot of money.
This year, the businessmen of the Huaxia Association contributed 800 million Fuxing coins to the political axe, and the political axe received 8.8 billion yuan from this aspect.
Coupled with the fact that this year's tax revenue has exceeded 15 billion, the political axe of the Chinese Empire can only be said to be really fucking rich.
If the total national income of Britain is only 2.2 billion a year, then China's tax revenue has reached this level.
Economically, China has completely destroyed the countries of Britain and France, but it is still worse than the United States, of course, this is only in terms of economic aggregate.
Moreover, the surprise between China and the United States is very great, and the American political axe is to create a kind of institution for the capitalists to openly embezzle, which is equivalent to the state working for the capitalists, and then handing over the taxes to the capitalists.
In China, on the contrary, there is no bureaucratic corruption or capital corruption in the Chinese Empire, and the capital businessmen pay a large sum of extra money to the political axe every year.
The way the capitalists in the United States embezzle the money of the political axe is very simple, as mentioned above, the bankers take low-interest loans, and then start fishing, raise interest rates and then the economy collapses, then the American political axe will introduce supportive policies, those banks that control a large number of real industries in the economic depression have themselves been full of profits, but the political axe is supporting them at this time.
This is the simplest form of corruption, but on the surface it seems that it is only to stimulate economic development, but in fact, the US political axe borrows money from the capitalists and then gives it to the capitalists, which is equivalent to letting the political axe spend the money for no reason, so that the capitalists will get this money back from the US tax revenue, which is equivalent to enslaving the whole country.
The other is on the arms side, in which various arms companies develop new types of munitions, and all research expenses are provided by the United States, and if the research fails, they have nothing to do, and if the research succeeds, there are large orders for the political axe, which is equivalent to saying that it is almost a business without capital.
The American political axe keeps borrowing money from the privately held Federal Reserve, and then spending the money and then returning it to the Fed's capitalists.
As a result, the money owed by the US political axe is more and more, more and more, to the extent that it is impossible to pay it back.
But for the Fed's capitalists, money is just a pile of waste paper, and they already control most of America's real estate, devouring too many benefits to be imagined.
If it were an ordinary country, owing such a large amount of money, it would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.
But the United States can continue to play, because those capitalists will not let the American political axe go bankrupt, how much money is owed is just a concept, with the degree of wealth they control the whole country, they are not in a hurry to let the political axe pay back, as long as the political axe can continue to milk them.
When these capitalists took control of most of the real estate in the United States, they began to play this trick in the world.
For example, during the housing bubble in Ben, he said that he was very rich and rich, and he threatened to buy the whole of the United States, but all this money was lent to them by American banks, and then they were not lent to them, and the economy collapsed directly, and the economy of the whole country began to be divided up by international capital.
Another example is the credit crisis in 2008, which is a means for international capital to indulge in plundering the world.
Many countries have suffered as a result, as in Argentina, the country with the largest middle class in South America, which has experienced several economic crises and a sharp decline in the number of middle classes.
Under normal circumstances, as long as it is not for the banks to mess around, there will be no crisis in the economy.
The reason why it makes people feel that there are cycles in the world of capital is that it is the means by which the top capitalists of the world of capital plunder the world.
In the same way, the United States, as a country whose real economy is controlled by big capitalists, is also the reason why China has dollars in its hands in later generations, but it can't buy anything valuable.
You can have as much waste paper as you want, but that's not the case with things like land and minerals.
The method of the American capitalists plundering the world is very simple, and it also shows Xia Jun a way to plunder the world, as Yan Xishan mentioned, China can fight poison with poison.
However, there is no urgency for the time being, and China lacks some conditions to exploit the world at this time.
First of all, China will face a war in the future, a war with Western countries, and a lot of things are now in hand, and they will be confiscated after the war.
Therefore, China must achieve world hegemony before it can operate.
At this stage, there are also some countries that can operate, such as New Russia, which can operate in this way, but there is no hurry for the time being, this polar bear is still too thin, and it needs to be fattened before killing.
With a national welfare of 8.8 billion yuan, each citizen can receive an average of 19 yuan a year, which is very sufficient for welfare expenditures in medical care and pension.
Generally speaking, it doesn't take so much money, but so much money still has to be spent, and after Xia Jun discussed with the cabinet, he definitely put this money into medical construction.
Medical construction still requires a lot of money, especially the construction of medical hardware.
At this time, China is so big, to build many hospitals, a lot of medical equipment is needed, and the 8.8 billion yuan invested in it is still not enough.
Of course, this money invested in medical hardware will bring a strong impetus to China's medical device manufacturing.
China's medical device manufacturing will continue to operate and gain experience and technology in the process. This aspect is mainly monopolized by the East China Group, and the money basically flows into the hands of the East China Group.
The 8.8 billion yuan will greatly improve the medical environment in the whole of China and truly bring China's medical development to a completely new and unsurpassable level.
In the past, although China's medical care was free, a big problem was that there was not much money for the construction of hardware facilities, which also brought some big problems.
From this year onwards, the Chinese Imperial Political Axe will focus on improving this problem, and at the same time, the Imperial Political Axe has begun to focus on cultivating traditional Chinese medicine in large quantities.
Although traditional Chinese medicine is more difficult to mass-produce than Western medicine, as long as you are willing to spend effort to cultivate, it can still be cultivated on a large scale.
The Imperial Cabinet decided to spend 600 million yuan to buy gold, so that China's gold reserves would rise to 2,500 tons, and with Russia's 7,500 tons of gold reserves, it would reach 10,000 tons of gold reserves.
Gold reserves are as high as 10,000 tons, and with the economic integration of China and Russia, the Asian dollar will be issued next year, which is equivalent to the unified use of this 10,000 tons of gold. It is equivalent to accounting for about 45% of the world's gold reserves, while the United States' gold reserves of up to 6,400 tons account for about 40% of the gold reserves, and the gold reserves of other countries combined are only 15%.
Britain's gold reserves were almost depleted after a war, and most of them went to the United States and China, while most of Germany's gold reserves went to China, but China did not reserve all the gold it obtained, but put it in banks that could be exchanged for foreign countries.
This batch of gold in the East China Bank reached 20,000 tons, while in the United States, they have more gold in their banks, at least more than 30,000 tons.
You must know that the total amount of gold mined in the world has reached more than 130,000 tons, and with the mining of a large amount of gold, this has also accelerated the turmoil in the world.
As a country with a developed export industry, most of the revival coins in the hands of other countries are used to buy Chinese goods, and few money is exchanged for gold.
The main way for other countries to obtain China's revival currency is to export resources to China.
As long as China's exports remain in such a deficit, there will be no outflow of precious metals from China.
This is also the reason why Huaxia Club requires members to feel that there is too much money and not to scatter money all over the world, and to scatter money can only be scattered in China, and the result of throwing money is that it may lead to the outflow of precious metals.
In the post-war world, China's high gold reserves, coupled with strong exports, gave China the ability to compete with the US dollar in its upcoming issuance.
As for the pound, it won't be long before it will have to step aside.
Obviously, it was a good deal for Xia Jun to rescue Nicholas II and marry his daughter.
Without Russia's 7,500 tonnes of gold reserves, China's gold reserves would not have risen to such an extent. At most, only 2500 tons, which is simply not enough to compete with the United States.
