Chapter 980: Which Excavator Technology Is Stronger?
10 million Chinese coins may sound like a lot, but speaking of which, in a big city, it is just selling a similar house. The best novels are comfortable to read
Of course, here in Ben City, 10 million can still do some things, at least buy a few more houses.
The most important thing is that 10 million Huaxia coins in cash can almost fill a bed, a new version of 100 yuan Huaxia coins, weighing about 1. 15 grams, 10,000 yuan is 100 bills with a face value of 100 yuan, which is 115 grams; 10 million Huaxia coins is 115,000 grams, which is 115 kilograms.
However, depending on the degree of use of the coin, the weight will also vary slightly, and the more used, older, and more stained banknotes will be slightly heavier than the newly published banknotes, and the extra weight will of course be dust, bacteria, and oil.
This more than 100 kilograms of cash, if you want to get it to the home of the deputy mayor, you really need some means of transportation, at least you have to have an off-road vehicle to do things more conveniently, and when you send it to your home, one person can do it, and you have to take it several times.
"It should be cash, we noticed that Li Zhuangyan's person has just withdrawn a sum of cash from the bank, almost more than three million, maybe just to make up the money for the deputy mayor." Deputy Director Xue's subordinates thought for a moment and replied to him.
Generally speaking, these people like to talk in cash, but the cash on hand may not be so sufficient, so the temporary withdrawal of cash or something has to go through the bank, so it is impossible not to leave some clues.
"This Li is solemn and does things, but it is a bit of the style of Shanxi coal bosses." When Deputy Director Xue heard this, he commented.
Lin Xiao laughed when he heard this, Shanxi coal bosses are famous for their likes to use cash to smash people, so when they are doing errands, there are often sacks of cash in the trunk of the car, and one million cash is twenty or thirty catties, and it is quite convenient to pick it up.
The most important thing is that you use cash to do things, giving people a greater shock, you use 10 million to hit someone's card, and directly carry a bag of cash to the door-to-door errand, the effect is very different, at least this is more people feel your sincerity, and suddenly see a sack of money in the house, it is estimated that many people will choose to laugh, the possibility of refusal is very small.
In fact, the Shanxi coal boss basically has no trivial matters, and the amount of money spent is definitely not a small amount, and the starting price is basically more than 5 million cash.
Because of this, once the corrupt officials in the coal supervision department are taken down, the cash collected from their homes is often more than 100 million, or even more.
It seems that Li Zhuangyan also likes to smash people directly with cash.
This method is simple and crude, but it has excellent results, and it is indeed one of the favorite work styles of local tyrants.
"Hehe, I used to see newspapers saying how many trillions of banknotes the government had overissued, but judging from the market's reaction, it seems that these banknotes did not cause too much market shock, nor did they cause inflation in the eyes of the government." Lin Xiao thought of this incident, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that a large part of these over-issued currencies are still under their beds by these corrupt officials or coal bosses, and they have not flowed into the market." Speaking of which, these people are still the heroes of the common people, if it weren't for their hobby of collecting cash, it is estimated that the over-issuance of currency in the market would have dragged down the entire economy long ago. ”
Han Ya laughed when she heard this, but she had also paid attention to this matter before, and it seemed that there were people on the Internet who had specifically discussed this issue.
The government's issuance of paper money was actually not a long time ago, and it was only in 1935 that the Nationalist Government reformed the monetary system and completed the legalization of legal currency.
Why did the switch to paper money instead of precious metals happen? One of the reasons that everyone can accept is that precious metals are not so convenient as a medium of trading, heavy and large, and easy to be remembered by thieves.
However, the power to issue money uniformly is a double-edged sword, and whether the state can use this power with caution once it has it is a central clue in modern economic history.
The issue of tickets by the state itself has great benefits, and whenever the king has financial difficulties in the history of France, he often starts from this link, and there is a difference between the nominal value of the coinage and the actual gold content, which is the origin of the bad currency.
Therefore, many forces have to compete for state power, from an economic point of view, the first is to compete for the right to mint money, from the perspective of economic history, many countries in many times can not withstand the temptation of the money printing machine, the money printing machine in the hand can be turned on a little faster, you can solve the problem of financial lack of money, so after the disintegration of the gold standard, the fluctuations of the global economy is not comparable to the gold standard era.
After the government intervened in the monetary sphere, when the government had a fiscal need, it could have relied on the tax system to collect taxes, but many countries that have not completed modernization have a weak tax base and are unwilling to raise money through the people's trust in the government to issue government bonds.
Historically, this has led to catastrophes, most notably in Germany, where money was printed and the price index rose by 500% per month, the crisis in Germany that led to the rise of Hitler and the outbreak of World War II.
A similar situation also happened in China, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the chairman of the committee wanted to fight a civil war, but there was no tax base, so he had to print money directly.
At that time, the monthly inflation rate was about 50% or more, which was very surprising in accumulation, and in order to let the people accept this more and more watery ticket, it was also stipulated that the people were not allowed to hold US dollars, pounds, gold, and silver.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, China accepted the lessons of the past on the monetary issue, and the first battle after taking over the pearl was to fight the battle against inflation.
The solution to inflation is to increase production and reduce the money supply, which is easy to say but difficult to do.
Although China was engaged in a planned economy after the founding of the People's Republic of China, hidden inflation still persisted in China for many years, and the Soviet Union also suffered the same thing.
Of course, now, there is a larger background to the over-issuance of Chinese currency, which is the problem of over-issuance of US dollars.
If developing countries pegged their currencies to a good currency, they would have good results, because the regimes in developing countries are unstable, and the people in power do not have long-term behavior, and they will turn on the money printing machine today when they come to power, so developing countries usually mess up their currencies.
In fact, Huaxia has always done a good job in this regard, especially after the reform in 1994, the government closed the faucet of fiscal over-issuance of currency, but in reverse, the over-issuance of dollars in recent years has been a mess.
The way for the United States to regulate and control money is through the Fed's benchmark interest rate, which simply means that the increase in the benchmark interest rate is to reduce the money supply, and to reduce it is to expand the money supply, and the Fed's benchmark interest rate was 9% in 1999, and now it is about to fall to zero.
A large part of the excess money in the United States is not the money that Americans have saved, but foreigners who lend money to Americans to spend.
Lenin said at that time that the imperialist countries were the exporters of capital, rentier on the globe, and now the developing countries lend money to the Americans.
In the final analysis, it is because the US dollar is the world's main settlement currency and reserve currency.
After World War II, the United States made a promise that any country's central bank could exchange its holdings of dollars for gold, $36 for an ounce of gold, but now, what is the price of gold? $1,200 an ounce, this is the result of the continuous decline in gold prices in recent years, which used to rise to more than $1,500 an ounce.
Therefore, the Americans did not fulfill their promises well, especially when the Americans fought the Vietnam War, and the financial hole was finally solved by invoices.
Finally, in 1971, Nixon announced that the United States would close the gold window, the Bretton Woods system did not count, and the Americans did not exchange the dollars held by countries around the world for gold.
The result of this is that if the dollar keeps dropping the chain, and the Chinese currency is pegged to it, then inflation will be introduced into China, so in recent years, the prices of various assets have risen outrageously.
Now governments around the world are once again competing to issue currency, and the consequences of this are serious.
But if you don't send it, the government won't be able to bear it in the short term, but if you oversend it, there will be a bigger disaster next time.
"This kind of thing is no longer something that our own government can solve, in fact, no one can solve it, unless there is another world war and a redefinition of monetary power." Deputy Director Xue said casually, "But who would dare to do this kind of thing?" In the event of World War III, more than half of the earth will be blown up. ”
"You're thinking too much, it's not something we should be concerned about." Han Ya next to her pouted and said, "We have only one task now, which is to solve Li Zhuangyan's matter, and let the people of the central bank have a headache for the over-issuance of currency." ”
"The central bank has no way, and even if they have it, they can't resist the Fed playing hooligan." Lin Xiao laughed and said.
"That's right, Americans are indeed shameless enough, and they are the only ones who can become superpowers if they owe debts." Deputy Director Xue echoed with affection.
After a while, the people below came to report, "Li Zhuangyan's people have begun to mobilize the excavator, and it looks like there will be a big move." ”
"Looks like it's time for us to get ready to do it." Deputy Director Xue said to Han Ya.
Han Ya also glanced at Lin Xiao, and then asked very suddenly, "Which excavator technology is stronger?" ”
