Sheng Xuanhuai suppressed his smile, stared at Qin Chuan and asked, "Ming Hong, I still have a few things that I don't know. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Qin Chuan didn't know what Sheng Xuanhuai was going to do for himself, so he asked carefully.

"Master Shan, what's wrong?"

Sheng Xuanhuai nodded and said, "Minghong, it's you who sell things to foreigners, why do you only collect foreign currency and not money?" Why do foreigners have to exchange the foreign currency in their hands for the internal voucher issued by your Aurora Bank before it can be used in the auction? And why is there a discount on exchanging gold directly for your voucher? ”

"As far as I know, the great powers are now on the gold standard, their paper money is gold, and they can exchange it for gold in their own country.

Sheng Xuanhuai's question is exactly what Zhou Fu, Wu Tiaoqing, Li Jingfang, Zhang Shiheng and others thought, that is, Li Mingfang was also puzzled at first, only Jin Lisan seemed to have an understanding, but Qin Chuan did not explain it carefully so far, and Jin Lisan did not ask much, at this time, seeing Sheng Xuanhuai mention it, everyone focused their eyes on Qin Chuan's face.

Regarding Sheng Xuanhuai's question, Qin Chuan had already prepared, put his mind at ease and smiled and said to Sheng Xuanhuai.

"What Shanda is worried about is actually just two issues."

"Oh!"

Sheng Xuanhuai just snorted, silently looking at Qin Chuan and not making a sound.

"That's right, before the foreigners participate in the auction, they must exchange their foreign currency for the vouchers that circulate within our Aurora Group, all for the convenience of the bidding process. Otherwise, the current comparison of the currencies of the great powers will be more complicated. ”

"For example, one pound can now be exchanged for 7.322 grams of gold in the United Kingdom, one dollar is worth 1.504 grams of gold, one French franc is worth 0.29 grams of gold, one German gold mark is worth 3.58 grams of gold, one ruble is worth 0.774 grams of gold, and one yen is worth 0.75 grams of gold. In this way, one pound is equivalent to 25 francs, 5 dollars, 2 German gold marks, 9 Russian rubles, and 10 yen. ”

"Also, according to the current 1:20 ratio of gold and silver, one tael of Kuping silver in our Daqing Dynasty is equivalent to 1.865 grams of gold, 10 taels of Kuping silver is equivalent to 12 US dollars, 100 pieces of Yingyang are equivalent to 16 pounds, and it is equivalent to 400 francs and 80 US dollars, 33 German gold marks, 150 rubles, and 110 yen.

"As for the second question, it is precisely because the Western powers, including the Oriental RB, have made the gold standard the basis of their national currencies, and more countries will implement the gold standard in the future, so that more and more gold will inevitably be deposited in their treasury, and there will be less and less gold circulating in the market."

"As the saying goes, if there is less and less gold and more and more silver on the market, it is inevitable that the price of gold will be higher and higher, and the ratio of gold and silver will be bigger and bigger. That is, in the long run, gold will become more and more expensive, and silver will become cheaper and cheaper. ”

Qin Chuan followed the train of thought and talked eloquently: "So when foreign merchants buy goods, I only accept their local currency and not silver. Although they can also be exchanged for gold in their own country, firstly, I do not have that many manpower, and secondly, it also consumes energy, and the exchange can only be done through the banks of the Western powers in our Great Qing Dynasty. In this way, not only do they need to transport the gold from the country to the Qing Dynasty, which takes a long time, but it is also unsafe, and the most important thing is that I also have to pay them a handling fee. So, asking them to use gold directly to buy my goods saves me a lot of energy. ”

Qin Chuan was so clear about foreign currency exchange, and had such a deep and sober understanding of the gold standard of the great powers, and even thought that the ratio of gold and silver would become bigger and bigger, which not only surprised financial veterans, including Jin Lisan. Not to mention Zhou Fu, Sheng Xuanhuai, Wu Tiaoqing, Li Jingfang, Zhang Shiheng, Li Mingfang and others, these people couldn't help but be moved.

Zhang Shiheng asked impatiently: "Ming Hong, do you mean that you should exchange all the silver in your hand for gold now?" ”

Qin Chuan nodded affirmatively and said: "That's natural, it's just that we have less gold and more silver in the Qing Dynasty, and we are implementing the silver standard, so it's probably not easy to exchange the silver in our hands for gold." ”

Zhang Shiheng frowned and thought about it, and asked with some puzzlement: "Ming Hong, since you think that the price of gold will grow higher and higher, what silver dollars do you mint, and what silver mines do you spend such a high interest to absorb savings?" ”

Wu Tiaoqing took over Zhang Shiheng's words and said: "Brother Chu Bao, Ming Hong predicts that the price of gold will rise, and it will take a certain amount of time, and besides, our Daqing Dynasty is a place where silver can be used." ”

Sheng Xuanhuai also thought about it and said: "Moreover, although the foreigners implement the gold standard, they do not accept our silver, our Qing Dynasty is now doing business with foreigners every year is in surplus, and foreigners will buy a large number of raw silk, tea, medicinal materials, leather goods, porcelain and other bulk items from our Qing Dynasty every year, and they also need to use silver to buy our Qing Dynasty things." ”

"So, although they are on the gold standard, we also need silver to buy their things. Moreover, as far as I know, silver can now be circulated in the United States and India, and the more silver the better, and Ming Hong's big silver mine is really going to be mined, and the money that Ming Hong lent to his old friend will definitely have a lot of income. Even the large amount of silver that Ming Hong needed to mint this Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar has also been settled. ”

Wu Tiaoqing thought for a while and said, "Ming Hong, is it true that as long as foreigners buy your goods, they must use gold or their own currency?" ”

Qin Chuan smiled: "That's nature. ”

Li Jingfang understood what Wu Tiaoqing meant, and interjected: "Ming Hong, if the foreigners don't buy your goods at the auction sales meeting, but buy your things from the Chinese people who bought your goods, won't you still not be able to receive their local currency?" ”

Sheng Xuanhuai couldn't help laughing: "Boxing, you are wealthy。。。。。。 It's stupid. ”

Sheng Xuanhuai wanted to say that Li Jingfang was a fan of wealth, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped them.

"You think, so many foreign businessmen, he British don't want it, don't Americans, Germans, RB people, if any foreign businessman does not participate in the bidding sales, in the end don't say that he may not be able to get the goods at all, even if you buy from which merchant in our Qing Dynasty, such a profitable thing, which domestic businessman will not increase the price, if this is the case, then the foreign businessman will inevitably have more blood."

Speaking of this, Sheng Xuanhuai sighed with a smile: "Ming Hong, you are so calculating, I said that why did you return the deposit to us at a higher price for the overseas agency rights that you had promised us, it turned out that you were hoarding gold." ”

Qin Chuan suddenly thought of the fact that gold would rise sharply in a few years a month ago, and immediately regretted that he should not transfer the overseas sales agency to others, but the contracts were signed with Sheng Xuanhuai, Xiao William, and Ye Ziqi, and it was inconvenient to regret it.

Being unabashedly told by Sheng Xuanhuai, Qin Chuan couldn't help but be speechless for a while, his face was slightly red, and his demeanor was twisted.

Qin Chuan's embarrassing changes made several people laugh, and they couldn't help laughing, even Zhou Fu, who had always been forbearing, couldn't help but squirt out a sip of the tea that had just been drunk in his mouth, and the laughing Zhou Fu pointed at Qin Chuan with a red face and couldn't speak.

Zhou Fu's movements caused everyone to laugh and lean back, without the appearance of a high-ranking official in the Qing Dynasty.

The cheerful laughter and dancing of these Qing officials in the color shed suddenly attracted the attention of the onlookers near the color shed, and thousands of pairs of eyes looked over, which made these people laugh at it, and it took a long time for Sheng Xuanhuai to breathe down, and even drank a few sips of tea before he smoothed his breath, and pointed at Qin Chuan with a smile.

Naruto。。。。。。 Hong, the ancients did not deceive me, and the phrase "breaking your word and getting fat" is used on you, that is very appropriate, you can't just be so cheap you kid, send us away with hundreds of thousands of silver, you have to give some more blood. ”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but secretly scolded himself for being too pretentious in front of Sheng Xuanhuai and others, knowing that it would be difficult to explain in front of Sheng Xuanhuai if he didn't take out something, so he had to say the truth.

"At the end of each year, if you wish, I can exchange some gold for you at the market price."

As soon as Qin Chuan's voice fell, Zhang Shiheng, who was overjoyed, first rushed to say: "Minghong, what are you waiting for at the end of the year, I will come to your Aurora Bank to exchange for gold tomorrow." ”

Zhang Shiheng's words immediately made Qin Chuan half angry, and he couldn't help but point at Zhang Shiheng angrily and scolded.

"You kid is too inauthentic, come tomorrow, where is Lao Tzu so much gold, you don't see Lao Tzu like gold, you will come tomorrow and you will change Lao Tzu first."

Qin Chuan's scolding immediately caused everyone to laugh again, and Sheng Xuanhuai said to Zhang Shiheng with a breathless smile.

"Chu Bao, Ming Hong has so much blood, and he is angry, you want the monkey to come and mention some gold to him in a hurry, isn't this touching his bad head?"

Zhang Shiheng was not annoyed by Qin Chuan's scolding, but just smiled and said to Li Jingfang.

"Bo Xing, you told me when you first returned to China, that there was a French writer who wrote a book, and the book was about a miser。。。。。。 Platform. ”

Before Zhang Shiheng's words fell, Li Jingfang was already laughing, holding his stomach and panting.

Zhang Shiheng's words made Qin Chuan, who was even more angry, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "I, you kid is Grande." ”

Among those present, except for Li Jingfang and Qin Chuan, as well as Zhang Shiheng, who knows a little bit, no one else knows what is going on with this Grande. However, everyone also knew that Qin Chuan was deflated, and they were all anxious to ask Li Jingfang what was going on with this Grande.

Under the urging of everyone, Li Jingfang ignored Qin Chuan's repeated glances to him, and smiled at Balzac's "Eugenie. The synopsis of "Grande" was told to everyone, and it immediately made everyone laugh non-stop.

Sheng Xuanhuai took a sip of tea and shook his head and said: "Chu Bao's metaphor is inappropriate, Ming Hong loves money, but he is not wealthy. As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way. Ming Hong's money, but his scheming and wisdom, is not like that Grande's frugality and money to move around. ”

Sheng Xuanhuai said this, and Wu Tiaoqing was also busy relieving the angry Qin Chuan.

"Inappropriate, indeed. In the evening, the banquet should punish Chu Bao with a large lamp. ”

Zhang Shiheng also felt that this joke was a little too big, and said with a grin: "When punished, when punished, I will punish myself for two big lamps at night." ”

Sheng Xuanhuai took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment and stared at Qin Chuan again, asking a question that made Qin Chuan's heart beat even more!
