The British temporarily closed the gold and silver currency exchanges, declaring the Xia Empire's victory in this currency war. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And the suicides of Nathan and the British Chancellor of the Exchequer show that the Xia Empire has won a complete victory in this currency war.

Gao Jinyuan still gave a bonus of 100 yuan to each employee of the central bank's business department, and then took a two-day holiday.

This has also become a common practice of the Xia Empire, that is, the Central Bank of the Empire is open to the public normally for the rest of the month, except for the 1st and 2nd days of rest and the summary of the work of the previous month.

Using these two days, Gao Jinyuan and others began to sort out the data and summarize the experience gains and losses of this currency war.

Anyway, it's a victory, Zhang Wei doesn't care about the gains and losses of experience, as long as he has a system in hand, he is not afraid of any kind of financial attack, and he wishes they would send gold and silver, what he is most concerned about now is how much profit there is. First of all, the business department of the head office, just the value of the silver exchanged is 5 billion yuan, James exchanged more than 200,000 taels of silver from the Qing Dynasty, plus the number of other countries and merchants to Pontianak, the total is 250,000 tons Sun Zhengquan bought 150,000 tons of silver from London, but it has been mortgaged to the bank, and it needs to be sent here to repay the loan before it can become Zhang Wei's assets.

4 billion of the banknotes issued by the head office were exchanged by Nathan, but later these banknotes were exchanged for gold, and the bank's profit was only 05 handling fees, while Zhang Wei had two-thirds of the profits in the exchange of silver and gold, 400 million yuan of banknotes were exchanged by domestic citizens, 400 million banknotes were exchanged by foreign investors, and about 200 million were exchanged to merchants in the Qing Dynasty.

The price of silver exchanged by Sun Zhengquan and James is very low, all of them are exchanged below the price of 75, and the gross profit is 100, and they are all silver obtained in a way similar to the white wolf with empty gloves. According to preliminary calculations, the bank alone has a profit of 2 billion taels of silver, and you must know that the financial revenue of the Great Qing Kingdom in 1906 was 1.6 billion taels of silver, which is the financial income of the Great Qing Kingdom for more than ten years.

Zhang Wei preliminarily summed up that most of the world's silver is now under his control, so he said to Governor Gao Jinyuan, who was making statistical statements: "We have so much silver, it seems that we must continue to appreciate silver, so that our profits will be greater, and we will be able to hit the economies of Europe and the United States and other countries more, so that the countries that implement the gold standard financial policy will fall into economic crisis." “

Gao Jinyuan raised his head and looked at Zhang Wei and said: "Your Majesty, even if you maintain the status quo, European and American countries will soon enter an economic crisis, and there is no need to continue to appreciate, I feel that the current price comparison is the most beneficial to the economic development of the empire." “

"How much profit can we make this time?"

"The Bank of Asia can earn about 130,000 tons of silver, Gao Zhengquan's side can earn about 70,000 tons of silver, and the business department of the Imperial Bank only earns 20 million yuan in fees. However, it should be Your Majesty who has the most profits. In addition, Germany should also make a lot of money by hitchhiking. “

Zhang Wei explained: "This time the Germans performed well, took the initiative to ask us if we needed help, and took the initiative to give us a loan, in order to thank them for their affection, I had asked Hua Guoqiang to leak the news to the German ambassador before, so that they could make some money, anyway, we don't have so much capital in Europe, it is impossible to buy up the silver in the market, and it is better to be cheap than cheap Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries." “

"Your Majesty, the amount they earn is not a small amount, the preliminary estimate is 50,000 taels of silver, which is more than a few years of their financial income."

"Ahh So many? That won't work, we have to find a way to get them to spend the silver, preferably for the Empire's products. "Germany can earn so much, which greatly exceeds Zhang Wei's expectations, which scares Zhang Wei a lot.

"Your Majesty, now all the world's 50 silver is controlled in your hands, if you don't exchange silver for silver, the silver will appreciate, and your profits will be higher at that time, so this bit of silver earned by the Germans is a small amount of money, compared to you, it is not worth mentioning, besides, Germany is strong to contain the energy of Britain, France, the United States and Russia in Europe, so that we can expand our territory here."

"And what about the losses of other countries this time?"

"Your Majesty, the profits of us and Germany are the losses of other countries, and there are about 100,000 tons of silver flowing into the private hands of the market, and these silver are the key force to prevent the appreciation of silver."

"Be specific!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the loss of the European and American alliance this time is about 150,000 tons of silver, the loss of the Qing Kingdom is 100,000 tons of silver, some other countries earn points, some lose points, and some do not earn and do not lose, the amount will not be too large, for example, some forces and countries followed the European and American alliance to exchange 400 million yuan of paper money, they belong to the non-earning and non-compensatory, and some countries and forces have transported about 50,000 tons of silver to Pontianak and sold it to Asian banks, then they have to pay a total of 250,000 tons of silver, There are also forces that follow Germany and the Reich to buy silver, and can earn about 30,000 tons of silver, then they are considered winners. ”

"Oh, the loss of the Great Qing Kingdom is too great, and the fire at the city gate has affected the pond fish!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, James has reported, it's all the money of the Manchu nobles, and if you don't make it, you won't make it in vain. Although the pressure he is under now is not only backed by the Empire, there should be no problem. ”

"I'm worried that if there is so much less silver in the Qing Dynasty, prices will rise, and it will be cheaper in Europe and the United States."

"Your Majesty, this is easy to do, as long as it can stop the outflow of silver from the Great Qing Kingdom, then their amount of currency is still enough to circulate without affecting prices."

"What can you do?"

"Your Majesty, now that the imperial army has protected the Great Qing Kingdom from all sides, as long as Your Majesty gives an order to prohibit opium from passing through the territory and sea areas controlled by the empire, then all the opium of all countries will be blocked from the Great Qing Kingdom, and then the outflow of silver from the Great Qing Kingdom will be stopped."

"That's good, I'll notify the Imperial Court in a moment and draft an anti-smoking bill to stop the outflow of silver from the Great Qing Kingdom! In addition, you have done a good job this time, whether it is the empire or me personally, you have made a lot of money, now you will no longer worry about running out of money to spend, you have contributed to the empire, I want to reward you well, especially James and Sun Zhengquan, the merit is very great, think about what reward you want? ”

"Your Majesty, this is our job, and we don't need any reward!"

"Since you don't say it, then on National Day or at the end of the year, I will reward you with a knighthood!"

Gao Jinyuan hurriedly got up and saluted Zhang Wei, and said, "Then I will thank Your Majesty for the reward on their behalf!" "To be continued.
