Chapter 662 is hard to choose
Dong Ku and Bruce's coke confirmed that Bruce believed that this bank would become the number one bank in the world, and Dong Ku also thought that Bruce was a bank management talent, so the next thing was relatively simple.
The two discussed in detail for more than three hours, discussing the construction of the bank, the direction of the past few years, and some of Bruce's personal ideas. Of course, the employment contract was signed first, otherwise Bruce wouldn't have nothing to say. After all, ideas and ideas are the stepping stones for him to enter a bank, and they have all been told to Dong Ku in advance, and he will not use them in vain.
But at this time, the oral agreement, integrity is different from later generations, basically most of the oral agreement is valid, in the moment when one of the two people is willing to do it, the other is willing to use, it has been formed into an agreement, and signing the document is just a process.
Bruce was so determined that he didn't have lunch with Dong Ku, and after all the chatting was done, he returned to his lodgings and began his preparations.
At this time, Dong Ku had been in Shanghai for thirteen days, and most of the countries had already completed the deposit action, except for Canada and some countries that were a little further away and did not have deposits in Switzerland.
In Heilongjiang and Mongolia, the wind has stopped blowing and stopping, and the cold cyclone has entered a weakened state, and it is estimated that Dongku will be able to return in five or six days at most.
The strong winds cooled down this time, causing Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Xinjiang, Central Asia, and Siberia to experience heavy snowfall that was rare for decades.
The mountains and forests are full of snow more than two meters deep, and driving a truck on the snow is a bit mysterious, but the pedestrians do not delay at all. Let the wind blow the porcelain. The hesitation of the snowfall area and the time of the strong wind led to the snow in Heilongjiang and Mongolia contributing to the disaster, and even the urban area of Harbin, the low houses were buried, if it was not for the preparation of snow prevention in advance. Heavy snowfall can kill many places.
Chain rail snow plows, which are currently the most advanced gadgets, clear the roads, even if the wind is still strong, they are constantly sorting out the streets where the snow is buried, so that residents can get out of the snow slopes.
The wind is light, and the snow plows are the kind with blowers that blow the snow out of twenty or thirty meters with a reaper. Special vehicles that fall to the side of the road are responsible for clearing some of the main roads and passages around the town, clearing the clearings where snow has accumulated everywhere, so that the snow can be transported out of the town.
This is a big war, and the manpower and material resources consumed will naturally not be less, but it has not really begun yet, and this comprehensive clean-up work will not be carried out until the wind completely stops.
Heilongjiang and Mongolia changes, including Central Asia and Siberia. Dong Ku knows everything about it. He knew that this would definitely not fool Soviet Russia. Otherwise, the march of the army will not be able to carry heavy weapons, not to mention, once the snow collapses, people will die if they fall into the snow pits, so there will be no counteroffensive in a short time. And there is at least a month to train recruits, that is, the next month will be completely quiet due to heavy snow and wind.
He has a bottom in his heart, and he is more down-to-earth when he is busy in Shanghai. And these days. The financial talents found by Shao Pang in Pontianak have already arrived in Shanghai, and most of them are adrift at sea, even on Crescent Island, it will take ten days and a half to reach Shanghai.
But these people from Pontianak are also the top technical or research-oriented talents in various fields selected by Shao Pang from the Jews who rescued Germany, including financial experts and bankers.
But Dong Ku has already identified Bruce as the president of the first bank, and as for the most reluctant, there must be countless banks, branches, and head offices. The demand for talent cannot be solved by three or five hundred people, and the number is very huge. After all, the number of banks he wants to open will not be small, and after the end of the war, it may not be impossible to open hundreds, thousands.
Among these people are some financial people that Bruce found in Shanghai, they are all experts in this field, and they have very deep experience and understanding of finance, and even money.
Today's summons meeting was actually held in the form of a tea party, Dong Ku had met these people before, and selected some people to be the core for a second meeting, and also pushed Shui Linglong out by the way, so that his family could meet the future boss.
The tea party was still held in Longxiang, but it was held in the main store in Sixing. Although it is not a secret that needs to be kept, I don't want the outside world to know too much, especially those who participate in the meeting, which will enter the base of the concession at that time, enter the protective circle, and avoid any chains with the outside world.
Dong Ku said it briefly, and then launched Shui Linglong.
Shui Linglong is from a big family, and has the boldness of the children of the rivers and lakes, these days with Liu Ruji every day, and has a certain level of receiving people and things.
She is dressed in standard clothes today, a navy blue suit with lapels, a white shirt, a navy blue skirt that reaches the knees, and low-heeled leather shoes that are not available today. It looks capable and beautiful.
This is the pattern drawn by Dong Ku according to the professional attire of later generations, as the uniform clothing of the future bank.
She stood up and bowed slightly, and said with a faint smile on her exquisite face: "Everyone, my name is Shui Linglong, maybe we will work together in the future, I hope we can tolerate each other and do our best to do our own things." Although the bank is still in preparation, you should believe in the strength of the advance army to create a peerless bank, and the elites will also reap the glory that belongs to you, of course, including wealth. ”
Her words caused the people sitting in a circle to applaud.
Dong Ku also saw Shui Linglong attend such an occasion for the first time, and when he saw that she was in a comfortable state and her English level could also meet the communication, he couldn't help but give a look of approval.
After everyone's applause stopped, Shui Linglong continued: "Today is not an inauguration, this needs to wait for five months." Before the bank officially starts operation, everyone will discuss the specific direction of the bank's development, and then decide the position in this super financial system based on personal suggestions. ”
Shui Linglong's words made everyone nervous, and they all heard that this was part of the assessment, assessing their professional level, so they sat down without discomfort and listened quietly. See what you're discussing, or organize your thoughts.
Bruce, as the president of the bank in Switzerland who has been decided, is also the person who knows the most specific information, he stood up and said first: "Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Blue? Sassoon, your partner in the future. I'll start by talking about the upcoming size of the bank and see what you have to suggest. ”
Say, halve the amount of 1,000 tons of gold owned by the bank, say 500 tons, and let everyone see if it is feasible to issue currency, and what is the plan for issuing currency.
This question has always been entangled in Dong Ku, he has never been in contact with the issuance of currency, and he does not know anything about the issuance of currency. He is also a layman in finance, and of course, he will not understand the problems in issuing money.
Therefore, before he was about to choose a candidate to go to Switzerland, he needed to know some information about the issuance of currency, but he did not explain that he did not have a country, nor did he plan to establish a state, but only to understand the specific matters of issuing currency.
Five hundred tons of gold is enough to scare the stupid people here. In later generations, China's gold reserves were only 600 tons. The United States has more than 8,000 tons, and these 500 tons are already in the top, and even Japan, which claims to be the second largest economic country, has only a national reserve of just over 700 tons.
Bruce's words fell, and these Jewish experts and elites looked at each other, all feeling shock. Isn't it a country rich enough to have five hundred tons of gold in a local army?
After a brief shock, a man named Basset? Rika's man stood up and said: "Five hundred tons of gold is enough to issue currency, and as long as the force behind it keeps up, the exchange rate of the issued currency will not be lower than that of some medium-sized national currencies that exist." The premise is that there must be an absolute right to speak in the issuing area, and the issuance of currency means eliminating the old currency in the hands of the people, or restricting the circulation of old currency. ”
After a pause, he continued: "For example, the current currency of the Republic of China is still based on the silver dollar, and other circulating currencies are not issued by the political axe. ”
"During this time, there will be discomfort and resistance, and it depends on the right to speak in the distribution area."
Basset's words sent Dong Ku deep in thought.
Indeed, the issuance of currency must have the absolute right to speak, just like Qin Shi Huang's unified currency, there must be killing, or the result of killing, otherwise, the currency cannot be issued, and the people dare not use it, or simply do not want to use it.
The right to speak means a political axe. And if you don't have this plan, it will be difficult to publish. When they defeat the Japanese invaders, civil war will not be avoided, although the result will be the same, but the winning side will not unify China until a few years later, and at that time, the opportunity will be missed, maybe the Bretton Woods system in the United States has been established, and there will be nothing to do without the Chinese currency.
Just according to their own ideas, the US currency can't do the Bretton Woods system, and it can't change this pattern, at most, it is to grab the old United States' financial route, so that they can get less gold, but the amount will not be too much, one or two thousand tons is only the end.
Dong Ku pondered, the meeting was still going on, he was not a pig's foot today, and he would not participate too much, so he listened with one ear and continued to think about his own problems in his mind.
He now understands that the issuance of currency must have the absolute right to speak in the issuance area, if it is feasible, it is purely to exchange paper for gold and silver, and then the value of the paper seems to be equivalent to silver and gold, but in fact, hi paper, itself has no value.
As for the printing of money, he has been involved in the fight against counterfeit banknotes on more than one occasion. The last work of some major international counterfeit money cases, and the advanced printing technology, are not worse than some small countries, and even have a fight with big countries. In addition to the fact that the numbering piece is quite annoying, their templates and techniques are absolutely fake.
His mind was full of printing techniques and paper techniques, as well as anti-counterfeiting techniques. These can help to print the world's only paper currency, but the issue is a problem, what is the carrier of the currency?
Is it really a statehood? Becoming a Founding Leader?
This idea flashed, and he immediately vetoed it. He is a man of Taoist history. Now his appearance seems to have pushed history faster, changing the time of some small or major events, but it cannot prevent the occurrence of key nodes. Should come or will come, that is to say, the founding of the country is destined to be only one person, he Dong Ku is a soldier, let him manage the country and he can't play, learn, this thing is not something to learn, that requires great wisdom.
Without the establishment of the country, the issuance of currency is empty talk, and the reason why the currencies of various countries will circulate and exchange is because there are countries there, so it is not a game played by individuals at all. Why do people believe that the paper you print can be exchanged for materials, gold, and silver?
But Bruce's words printed the Bretton Woods system that he remembered, and Dong Ku's mind was full of this, and it was the United States that successfully replaced the paper he printed with gold, oil, and various materials during this period by reviving the economies of various countries.
If he were in control of the system, he believed that although he did not understand it, he would have much more resources than the United States had during World War II, and of course, this depended on the requirement that he be able to issue currency.
Originally, his original intention of opening a bank was very simple, which was to give the soldiers a place to save money, so as to prevent everyone's money from being deposited in other countries. But now, this original intention has changed, and it has changed again and again. It has become a set of big banks, and now, it has become a financial system that wants to issue money to replace the bastard financial system that appeared more than a decade later.
But the root cause lies in whether or not they want to build a country, and once they build a country, it will not be a trivial matter, and then they must eliminate the current hostile forces of the two sides, otherwise how can we talk about reunification?
The appearance of this thought made him laugh secretly. He can't play with the country, he can't do that, he changes his life against the sky, it's not like this, this is a change of dynasty, what kind of change of life are you talking about?
Forget it, the currency will not be issued, try every way to cut off the lifeblood of the United States, find a way to drag them into the swamp of war, let them also sharply consume national strength, avoid their fastest action when the economy recovers, leave time for China's rise, and try to contribute as much as possible to construction after the war, maybe they can accelerate their rise.
After figuring it out, Dong Ku's heart was open, he was no longer entangled, and he knew where he should focus his energy, he had to end the war as soon as possible, and when World War II came, he would get rich, seize the bulk of the wealth in the world, and make all countries losers. Especially the United States, as for Japan, Dong Ku has already thought about whether there is hope for their rise, or whether there is an opportunity. (To be continued......)
