Sun Yuanqi sat up on the bed, yawned and explained to Lilith what Tang Shaoyi said yesterday. Lilith listened very carefully and didn't ask for details. After Sun Yuanqi finished speaking, Lilith fell into deep thought.

Sun Yuanqi also put on his pajamas and picked up a chair and sat down: "Lilith, do you really want to wade into this troubled water?" ”

"Why not?" Lilith asked rhetorically, "Do you know how much money is issued?" ”

Sun Yuanqi shook his head: "I really don't know how important the currency issuance right is, but not long ago, in order to acquire 60% of the shares of Hanyeping Company, we just borrowed 3 million yuan from Bloomage Bank; If we agree to Tang Shaochuan's loan now, we will lend another 3 million yuan. With a loan of 6 million yuan in just one or two months, won't Bloomage Bank have problems? ”

In the past, in order to run an education, Sun Yuanqi was bored in industry to make money, and he did not realize the importance of the financial industry at all. At the beginning of last year, Bloomage Bank was established by chance. Who knew that in less than a year, Bloomage Bank became the core of Sun Yuanqi's industrial empire, and Bloomage MSG, Zhiyong Medicine, China Industrial Machinery, Far East Broadcasting and other companies have opened accounts and deposits in Bloomage Bank. Once there is a problem with Bloomage Bank, the industry under Sun Yuanqi's name will not be far from death!

Lilith didn't answer and asked, "Didn't you say that there is a huge iron ore mine with billions of tons of reserves in Sichuan?" Did you find it? ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "I already have eyebrows, and it is estimated that I will be able to get accurate news in the next one or two months." What, does this have anything to do with Bloomage Bank and disarmament aftermath loans? ”

Although the city of "Panzhihua" in memory cannot be found on the map of the Qing Dynasty. However, "Panzhihua" still played a vital role in the search for iron ore. The so-called Panzhihua is actually another name for kapok, and kapok mainly grows in tropical and subtropical regions. In Sichuan, it is only distributed in the southernmost valleys of the Jinsha River, Anning River and Yalong River, which greatly narrows the scope of search. In addition, the Panzhihua iron ore mine is an open-pit mine, which also reduces the difficulty of finding. Teachers and students of the Department of Geology of Jingshi University went to southern Sichuan to explore after the Spring Festival, and searched everywhere according to the clue of "Panzhihua", and with the full assistance of local officials, I believe that good news will come soon.

Lilith said, "Why is it okay? As long as a huge iron ore is discovered, the 3 million yuan lent to China Industrial Machinery Company to buy shares in Hanyeping Company is no longer a loan. It's an investment! At that time, people will only remember that Bloomage Bank has a huge stake in Han Yeping Company, and who will deliberately remember that there is such a thing as arrears? Moreover, the success of the investment will also drive the stock price of Bloomage Bank up, not to mention the 3.5 million yuan borrowed for the aftermath of disarmament. What's the matter if it's 5 million or 6 million? Of course, more importantly, lending to the State Department will also turn into a huge investment! ”

Sun Yuan raised his eyebrows: "You mean the right to issue currency?" Lilith, you're a banker now, explain it to me. What exactly is the right to issue currency? ”

"What do you mean by a banker? I am a successful banker! Lilith said with some dissatisfaction. Before talking about the right to issue currency, how much do you know about money? ”

Sun Yuanqi replied cleanly: "The so-called currency is a commodity that is separated from commodities and fixed as a general equivalent, and has the functions of value scale, means of circulation, means of payment, means of storage, and world currency. This is the famous statement of the Sect Master Ma in political economy, and I didn't learn this less in middle school and college back then!

Lilith couldn't help but be impressed: "It seems that you know a lot about economics!" Then you must know what currency issuance is? ”

To Lilith's surprise, Sun Yuanqi shook his head slightly: "Currency issuance? What is the difference between issuing currency and issuing currency? "Master Ma may have mentioned it in his political economy, but it doesn't seem to appear in Chinese textbooks, or maybe it's not the test point. In short, Sun Yuanqi was not too impressed.

Lilith explains: "In a sense, there's really no difference between issuing money and issuing money. But in a narrow sense. Currency issuance refers to the difference between the amount of money flowing out of the central bank and the amount of money flowing in over a certain period of time. The fundamental reason for this definition is that money cannot be issued casually, and the scale of currency issuance must be determined according to the current social and economic development situation, except with the permission of the state. If there is less money issued, purchasing power will fall, prices will fall, and deflation will occur; If there is too much circulation, prices will skyrocket and inflation will occur. In the most reasonable case, money should be issued according to the increment of socio-economic development. The increment of socio-economic development can be quantified by the issuance of money. ”

Sun Yuanqi roughly understood what Lilith meant: "The right to issue currency is the right to issue currency according to the increment of social and economic development granted by the state in accordance with the law?" ”

Lily

Silk shook her fingers: "That's just the ideal situation!" In fact, there has never been a bank that issues money entirely on the basis of the increment of socio-economic development, and there is always more or less, because they usually decide in advance the amount of money to be issued according to the current political, economic, etc. situation. Moreover, mastering the right to issue currency means mastering the financial market and even the lifeblood of the national economy! ”

Sun Yuanqi was taken aback: "Is it so powerful?" ”

Lilith pursed her lips and smiled, "That's it!" For example, the total weight of the silver coins minted by Bloomage Bank in the ratio of silver nine and copper is seven coins and two cents (26.86 grams), including six coins and four cents of sterling silver (23.9024808 grams). Although the issuance was not approved by the central government, it was widely circulated in the Yangtze River basin because the currency value and silver content were more consistent and recognized by the society. If the value of a silver coin of the same weight becomes ten dollars, will the society still accept it? Will it still be widely circulated?

However, if Bloomage Bank is granted the right to issue currency by the state, even if the value of the same weight of silver coins is marked as 100 yuan, the society must recognize it, and it can be widely circulated throughout the country. This means that in the past, Bloomage Bank could only issue 30 million yuan of currency according to the amount of silver and share capital, but after obtaining the right to issue currency, it could issue 300 million yuan, 3 billion yuan or even 30 billion yuan!

"The issuance of a standard one-dollar silver coin of 300 million yuan may promote the circulation of goods and form a unified domestic market; However, if 30 billion yuan is to be issued, it is very likely that there will be hyperinflation in a short period of time, prices will skyrocket, enterprises will go bankrupt, and the people will not be able to make a living. As for whether to find 300 million yuan or 30 billion yuan, it is not only a mandatory regulation of the state, but also in the hands of our bank. In this way, wouldn't it be the lifeblood of the financial market and even the national economy? ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "So you want to get the right to issue currency? ”

Lilith said: "As long as it's a bank, it wants to get the right to issue currency!" Tomorrow after the State Council, will you help me make an appointment with Mr. Tang so that we can talk in detail about the issue of borrowing money for the aftermath of disarmament? ”

Sun Yuanqi was a little hesitant: "You and Tang Shaochuan directly discussed the issue of disarmament and aftermath loans, and it also involves the right to issue currency, aren't you afraid that President Yuan will not agree in the end?" ”

Lilith said, "Aren't you responsible for the cabinet system?" As long as this kind of issue can be passed by the cabinet, even if President Yuan Da does not agree, what can he do? ”

Sun Yuanqi said curiously: "Are you sure that you can pass it in the cabinet?" ”

Lilith pouted and said, "Among the eleven members of the cabinet, Premier Tang signed an agreement, and he would naturally agree; It is believed that the signing of a loan agreement with Bloomage Bank for disarmament and aftermath will be of great benefit to the alliance, and the two chiefs of Nature Wang and Song will also agree; Your New China Party still has three votes. In this way, you can have a simple majority in the cabinet, and you will be worried about not being able to get through? Besides, we have American shareholders in Bloomage Bank, and if President Yuan dares to disagree, we will let the US minister in China lodge a strong protest! ”

Sun Yuanqi said at this time: "If you want our New China Party to vote for these three votes, you must agree to my request!" ”

Lilith smiled coquettishly, "What request?" ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "Either you or Huaizu, one person must become a Chinese citizen." After a pause, Sun Yuanqi explained: "Lilith, I believe you should also know that there is an old saying in China, which is called 'If you are not of my race, your heart will be different'. Although this is a bit hurtful, Chinese people think so in their bones, and they naturally have a sense of distrust of outsiders. If none of your mothers have become Chinese nationals, not only will the Chinese people be suspicious of Bloomage Bank's control over currency issuance, but I am afraid it will be difficult to convince Zhang and Tang in the party. ”

Lilith was stunned for a moment, and then said in a long voice: "You let me think about it and give you an answer tomorrow morning." After speaking, he got up and left Sun Yuanqi's bedroom.

Because he was in a hurry to go to the city to attend the State Council, Sun Yuanqi got up early the next day, and when he went downstairs, he saw Lilith sitting on the sofa in the living room wrapped in pajamas, with panda-like dark circles under her eyes, and half a cup of cold coffee in front of her, obviously she hadn't slept all night. Sun Yuanqi asked distressedly: "What, did it make you embarrassed?" Otherwise, we don't want the right to issue any currency, so go back and rest! ”

Lilith shook her head firmly: "We must get the right to issue currency!" But you have to do me a favor by convincing the group of banks of the six countries not to protest on this issue. In my opinion, the six-nation banking syndicate is the biggest obstacle to our agreement with Mr. Tang. I know that you have a close relationship with the U.S. Minister to China, and Citibank is the backbone of the six-nation banking group, and as long as someone persuades them to make peace, they will not care what we do! ”

Sun Yuanqi nodded after thinking for a while: "Okay!" What about your options? (To be continued.) )

PS: Ladies and gentlemen, who do you think would be better to become a Chinese citizen?
