Chapter 198: Banks
Under the light of the five magic crystal lamps, even if the time had come to the early hours of the morning, the room where Giggs and the others were still like day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
With his fingers crossed under his chin and his elbows propped up on the table, he leaned forward slightly, and Giggs listened quietly to the ten businessmen in front of him as they expressed their views on the industry and the difficulties they encountered in doing business.
The secretary next to him took a pen and paper and quickly recorded every conversation, especially Giggs's answers or opinions on some of the questions of these businessmen, and drew a horizontal line below.
After this meeting, these conversations will be further condensed and organized by these secretaries of Giggs, and then compiled into a book and distributed to the officials of the Spark Collar, so that they can know what Giggs's attitude is towards business development, so that these officials can find out the direction and attitude towards business in the future from these words.
At this time, a merchant whose entire net worth was in the grain trade was expressing his opinion, and six merchants had already received an answer from Giggs before him, or the suggestion was temporarily recorded by the secretary, and Giggs needed to think carefully after he returned.
"Your Majesty, I am just a grain seller, and with the rise of Your Majesty, I am also lucky to have my industry grow and grow, but in the past two years, I have found that my career seems to have fallen into a bottleneck. ”
Listening to this middle-aged man with a gold necklace as thick as an index finger around his neck and a very rugged appearance, he said the beginning in a very elegant voice, and the extremely discrepancious performance made Giggs stretch out his right hand that was originally placed under his chin.
"Excuse me, I'm curious what the bottleneck is?"
"The grain in my hands is basically sent to the farmers below to collect it one by one, with Your Majesty's regulations a few years ago, this kind of thing has basically not happened, and I also know that I can't use all the water to catch fish, so the price of buying grain is basically at a suitable price. ”
"Grain trading, in fact, is to earn the difference between the purchase and sale, the benefit is not big, it is all supported by quantity, and some of the grain I will basically sell to the kingdom's grain depot at a price slightly higher than the cost price, increasing the kingdom's grain reserves. ”
"But to be honest, after the stability of the business in the past few years, coupled with the thunderous means you have used against those profiteers who manipulate the market, the price of grain has basically stabilized, and we grain merchants have basically made hard money in the past few years. “
"But Your Majesty must also know that we, the grain merchants, are also an indispensable part of the development of the Rising Sun Kingdom, otherwise, if we want to mobilize the administrative force to purchase grain, it will cost a lot of money every year for administrative expenses. “
After seeing Giggs nodding noncommittally, the grain merchant couldn't help but rub his hands together and said with a smile, "So, I would like to ask Your Majesty, is there any policy support or good opinion for this situation?"
His hands were crossed under his chin again, and he groaned as the eyes of everyone in the room watched.
touched the head of Diana, who was woken up and opened her eyes slightly, and gave little Lori a reassuring smile, Diana also gave Giggs a sweet smile, closed her eyes and moved slightly in Giggs's arms, and found a comfortable position to fall asleep again.
"If I have a little bit of an idea that is not very mature, I will say it and let the leaders of the business world refer to it, and try to come up with a stable solution to the problem I just mentioned. “
Facing the burning gaze of the grain and grass merchant, Giggs said lightly.
"Actually, I've been doing this kind of thing before, which is what everyone knows about collectivization. Once the group production is carried out, on the one hand, it is to increase the output, and on the other hand, it is also to increase the output of products and earn more wealth. “
"In fact, it is also possible to collect grain, but it requires the advance investment of capital, if the villages in my kingdom are divided into basic units, let the farmers in this village set up an idle organization by themselves, and let the people in this village collect grain by themselves during the annual grain harvest season, and then trade with various grain and grass merchants. “
"In this way, you can save the cost of buying grain from one household to another, and you only need to discuss with each village in advance how much grain you will receive this year, and then sign a good contract, and when the time comes, it is enough to directly send people to transport grain. ”
"I believe that the grain industry, which saves the cost of purchasing personnel, should have more economic income, and of course, the tax revenue of the Ministry of Finance will be more abundant. ”
Listening to Giggs's words, the merchant, whose eyes grew brighter, stood up and bowed deeply to Giggs, and then sat down in his place, waiting for the next person to speak.
In this constant exchange, one by one the problems in the development of the business were raised and solved, and the time came to three o'clock in the morning, but the businessmen present did not feel any sleepiness at all.
They were delighted with the money they had paid for the auction, and the value of this exchange of strategic direction was almost immeasurable, and at this point they wanted to know what His Majesty the King of great talent was ultimately trying to say.
Seeing that the time was almost over, the doubts of each of these merchants were resolved, or temporarily recorded, and the secretary of Giggs began to discuss a suitable plan. Giggs also clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself.
"What I'm going to talk about next is what I said earlier, financial programs that can change the existing social system. “
The sharp gaze swept over everyone's faces, so that these huge rich people did not dare to look directly into Giggs's eyes, and after glancing around, Giggs spoke.
"The plan is the banking system. ”
Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Giggs unhurriedly introduced the plan that he had been thinking about for a long time.
“...... Collect the wealth of the people and use it to support the development of the kingdom. I have always believed in the belief that money is only called money when it is used, and that gold coins buried in the earth are no different from rusty pieces of iron. “
"The next royal bank will be set up to re-integrate the currency that is now a little chaotic, and the royal bank will issue a new, standard, gold, silver and copper coins. ”
"The previous coins will be recycled, the royal bank will have ample gold and silver reserves to ensure that the currency does not depreciate, and as leaders in various industries, I hope that you will fully support the development of the banking system. ”
"I'm sure you'll support it, right?"
Looking at Giggs's slightly eerie smile, the ten businessmen who had received Giggs's strategic teaching before had to nod their heads in agreement.
Seeing this, Giggs smiled with satisfaction (to be continued.) )
