Chu Guang can understand Old Charlie's complaints.

How aggressive his little players are on the front line, how tight the situation is in the rear.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the past few months, the entire coalition has been moving from the central bank to the Ministry of Finance to the trade unions

And so on all the money-related units, almost all of them are wiping the ass of the alliance's army. So far, there have been no major problems in production and the economy, and the cooperation between various departments is inseparable.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has fulfilled the promise he made from the beginning and ended the war before the end of the year.

"Let's start with the first question."

Speaking of which, Chu Guang looked at Minister Sun Kecai, who was sitting on the other side of the conference table with a nervous face, and continued in a gentle tone.

Do you remember the last question on that paper? "

He was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted to what the test paper Chu Guang said was, and immediately said. "Remember! I remember the title was....... If we borrow money from a marauder, do we have to pay it back? "

Confession: "What's your answer?" "

"What I wrote at the time was to .....," Sun Rongcai said nervously, "I think even if I return the money first and then grab it back, it will be better than relying on it directly." Otherwise, others will be worried about whether they will be labeled as a predator for borrowing money from us. ”

Chu Guang nodded approvingly, and then looked at Old Charlie.

"It's a pity that he is the only one who answers this question, and some of the candidates' answers are raising the bar.

It is said that the alliance will never trade with the marauders, so the question is not valid. The other part of the people thinks that we can just hack the money, and no one will sympathize with the predators anyway. However, if things are so simple, we don't need to get any treasury money, just hire a 'housekeeper, and everything will be done.' "

Marauders are different from mutants, and it's not something that can be distinguished at a glance, and the reverse is true

For a pocket that can fit anything.

The confiscation of a plunderer's property has very different consequences than a claim that the creditor is a predator.

Of course, the reason why Chu Guang said that he was half satisfied was because there was actually a better way.

Rather than snatching the IOU from the creditor by force, it is more ingenious to make the IOU in the creditor's hand worthless through appropriate means.

Old Zarry coughed lightly.

"I didn't say you'd give it away....... That's just an exaggeration, and the original intention was to hope you

Can understand how difficult our financial situation is right now. "

Chu Guangxiao nodded.

"I can understand your feelings, we must repay the money, and we can't do it if we don't pay off the debt. Now comes to the second question..... How to pay back the money. ”

Look, he looked at Sun Rongcai. "How much will I have to pay at the end of the year?" Sun Rongcai immediately said.

The total debt size is 510 million chips, and the borrowing limit is from 20 years to 50 years, with a total of 10.17 million chips in principal and interest! “

Chu Guang nodded, and suddenly sighed and said. "Too little."

Whether it is the size of the debt or the principal and interest to be repaid, it is too small!

If he has to pay back 100 million at the end of the year, I'm afraid that before he gets off the airship, President Malvern of the Bank of Boulder City is already waiting for him under the airship.

How could the heart let him stand for a long time, waiting for an Aphni and Boss Xia. Sun Ruicai was stunned, and Lao Zhali was also stunned for half a second.

"Too little_....?"

"Well," Chu Guang nodded, looking at them distressedly, "During my time on the front line, you have wronged yourself too much. Just now, Minister Sun Rongcai said that the deficit contributed by military spending accounts for 76.9% of the total deficit of the alliance, and even if our current total output value of the military industry is relatively high, this financial report is quite unhealthy."

You know it's not healthy! Old Charlie couldn't help but say.

This is also the result of the logistics department's frugality as much as possible....." Chu Guang looked at the old man and continued.

9U balls are ?. "The problem is that if the deficit contributed by the military reaches 900 million, if we also invest 900 million in infrastructure, won't that proportion drop from 76.9% to 50%7?"

After hearing Chu Guang's words, Lao Chali was stupid. Sun Rongcai, who was sitting on the side, also had a stunned expression.

What kind of logic genius is this?

And aren't they talking about how to pay back the money? Why do you think they spend too little?

"Just kidding to ease the atmosphere, but that's the reason."

Looking at the speechless old Charlie and Minister Sun, Chu Guang put away his laughing expression, looked at the two of them seriously and continued.

"I went out to borrow money for you, so that the residents of the alliance could live a good life, not so that you could tighten your belts and pay off your debts. So when you tell me that we are going to adopt a more conservative economic strategy for the next three years, and that we are going to take the rest of the people to the hard work, to reduce the size of our debt first and then to expand our business, I ^ have a heart

Pain..... If that's the end result, why should I fight this battle? ”

"Individuals can reduce the size of debt by cutting back on food and clothing, but collectives must not do so, debt is a rope and once we are caught in it, we become slaves to our creditors. Do you know what it means to solve the problem by shrinking the balance sheet? It means that the entire alliance will have to work for Boulder City in the next three or even five years!

Is this what a victorious country should do? We owe money, we are their fathers! “

Lao Chali looked at Chu Guang in a daze, confused by this crutches and turns.

One second he said that the debt was the rope that held the slave, and the next second it became the debtor's father who owed the money?

Minister Sun Rongcai was also dumbfounded, but in another sense, he understood a little bit of the manager's thoughts.

What you mean is that debt is a rope with which the creditor can lasso us, but in turn we can also use this rope to pull on. … They? "

Chu Guang picked up the cup and took a sip of water, moistening his throat while calming his tone a little. "Exactly."

"So before discussing how to repay the money, I must first change your mind and tell you

The road of shrinking the balance sheet and repaying debts is absolute, and it will not work, at least for us. If you want to repay your debts and guarantee the credit of the alliance ZF, instead of shrinking your balance sheet, you should continue to increase your spending and spend more money! “

"But how to spend money is a science, we can't learn from the nobility of Boulder City, and we can't copy the experience of Ideal City, I have to use our own model."

After a pause, Chu Guangji said.

"When I come back from the front line this time, what I have to do can be summed up in one thing." Old Zari swallowed.

....What? Chu Guang said with a smile.

"Share the spoils with the citizens of the Alliance!" Sun Rongcai was stunned and didn't react. "Divide ..... Loot?" That's right," Chu Guang nodded, "The victory of the alliance is inseparable from the support of all citizens, and it is impossible for our army to defeat that group of jackals with its fists alone." We have obtained two kingdoms and two trading partners, and our residents can clearly feel that the food is cheaper, and they used to be able to exchange less than a pound of corn for an hour of work, but now they can exchange it for a kilogram..... But that's not enough, it's not enough for the winners! "

As he spoke, he raised his voice

"The inhabitants of the alliance should not have corn and potatoes on their tables, only pigs, cattle and sheep should eat corn on the cob, and they should also have meat, eggs and milk on their tables. We're going to make them affordable, and they can afford it, and then they'll eat whatever they want. "

It's not just about eating and wearing! Last winter we stuffed pre-war money into quilts as cotton purple, and I promised that it was the last time, and now I will make good on that promise, and this winter everyone will be covered with real quilts, put on dry warm cotton clothes and leather boots, and live in a house that does not leak."

"And it's far more than that!"

The loud voice echoed through the conference room.

After hearing these words, Sun Rongcai only felt a heat in his heart, and couldn't help but quietly applaud under the table.

Speaking of which, didn't he end his wandering life and choose to stay because the man in front of him promised everyone a good life?

He was ashamed that he had the idea of letting everyone eat and pay off their debts for a moment.

Paying off debts is a matter of course.

But he is the Minister of Finance of the Alliance, and he is obliged to come up with a better way for the Alliance!

Unlike Sun Rongcai, who was excited, Old Charlie didn't react much, just looked at Chu Guang intently.

He admitted.

This man's rhetoric has a demagogic power.

If this is a public speech rather than an internal discussion, the applause from the audience will probably lift the ceiling.

People would stand up and cheer him, chant his name in greeting, and even see him as a living god, willing

Die for him..."In fact, many people are already doing this, almost becoming a member of the Guards

A dream for all the lads in the Union.

What could be more appealing in the wasteland than to be well fed and clothed?

And what he promised was not only to feed and clothe the inhabitants of the Alliance, but also to let them live with dignity....... Let's go

Everyone lives with dignity, and this is a big thing that the city lord of Boulder City dare not say.

Rather, I'm afraid that the only people in the entire wasteland can do it are the people of Ideal City. However, Lao Cha thought about it ideally, and he was relieved.

It's not actually the biggest piece of cake that the manager has drawn.

Compared with "building a new ideal city on the ruins" and "returning to the era of prosperity", this bull is actually small.

Chu Guang smiled at Sun Rongcai, looked at him and raised his hand slightly as if he had something to say, indicating that he hadn't finished speaking.

After a pause, Chu Guang changed to a soothing tone and continued.

"Occasionally, I entrust my assistants to see how our residents live..... Of course, this does not include their personal privacy. "

"For example, a girl who works at a trading post has to work six days a week, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with only a one-hour lunch break in between, and then she can go back to her family in the village next to Jianghu Lake on Saturday night, and then go back to work early Monday morning."

2 "In the past, we were short of people, so we had to grieve our workers to work a little longer, but now that we have passed the most difficult time, I think we should give them back the time that belonged to them." "

"So when I was still on the front line, I called the person in charge of Kuan Yi Station and asked him to increase the number of employees by 50 percent, adjust the average daily working hours of everyone from 12 hours to eight hours, and adopt more flexible scheduling."

"This set of rules has been running for half a month, and it has proven to work completely

"The staff of the trading post will be more enthusiastic about their work, more patient with each customer, not only those who travel from south to north will leave a good impression on our people, but our employees will also be able to live a better life, after work do not have to lie in the dormitory in a daze like the whole body has exhausted their strength, they can go out and walk more,

Whether it's going to the library to study and recharge, or shopping in the snack street, or socializing with friends, do what young people do. ”

"Of course, we don't just have to solve the problem of one person, but the problem of everyone. The Trading Post is just a pilot, and from now on, all factories, institutions, and facilities in the Alliance, whether they belong to collectives or private individuals, should do so! I'm going to put it into law, and I'm ready to double my budget for that. "

After a pause, Chu Guang looked at Old Charlie and Minister Sun Ruicai, and said what he thought.

"It's not just about giving the inhabitants of the league time, we're going to make them rich. At present, our minimum hourly wage is 1 silver coin, which is no longer able to keep up with the economic growth rate of the Union. I'm going to get the league's minimum hourly wage to 3 Silvers at the beginning of next year, with the median gradually increasing to 5 Silvers. "

"When the residents of the alliance have money and time, they have spending power and more demand, as long as we can keep inflation within a reasonable range, there will be a market with amazing growth and business opportunities everywhere." "

"And in order to earn more interest, the nobles of Boulder City not only do not urge us to repay our debts, but also sharpen their heads and send us the chips they have saved, after all, we will soon use these chips to buy their things, so that they can earn their chips back. Even if the Bank of Boulder City didn't print a penny, the chips in their pockets could be doubled, or even more than doubled

Sun Rongcai held his breath.

Old Charlie also looked at Chu Guang in surprise.

By now, he had basically fully understood Chu Guang's thoughts.

Instead of reducing the size of the debt, the guy plans to borrow more money.

Use the borrowed money to grow the economy, invest in infrastructure, and improve the lives of residents, thereby further expanding the economic scale of the Union, and then attracting more hot money in.

It's just that there is still this one loophole..... Old Charlie said cautiously.

"But we have to pay off the debt of Boulder City with the chips we earned from them, and we can't use the silver coins to pay them off."

Sun Ruicai also calmed down when he heard this.

".. … Indeed, their residents used to have spending power, but now they have to save on nutrition."

Looking at the worried two, Chu Guang nodded approvingly.

Xu Lin's ability to observe this shows that you have put your mind to it, and it also shows that our plan has successfully entered the second stage. A large number of chips are concentrated in the pockets of the nobles of Boulder City, which indirectly pushes up the inflation of Boulder City, if you are a nobleman of Boulder City, watching the people around you get richer and richer, and the chips in your pockets are getting more and more

More, but more and more unflowered, what will you do? "

The marriage thought for a moment, suddenly showed a sudden expression, and said excitedly.

"Hold your value! I need to buy something or property that will increase in value before the chips depreciate! Chu Guang smiled and nodded.

; m8X:e,r)k! S "Correct, though not very comprehensive"

Blind investing is one of the complications of an overheated economy, and people lose their minds in a frenzy to get money in their pockets

Outperforming inflation and investing blindly.

Because money comes too easily.

It's as if you can earn it with your eyes closed.

Slowly, people will be more worried about missing the opportunity to get on the bus than losing money.

.. There is no better market to invest in than the Alliance, and they probably have no interest in wasting their money on poor people who can't even afford to buy them, and I don't expect to make money from those people to pay off their debts. "

"In addition to investment, the aristocrats in the inner city will also become more generous in their spending habits than before, we just need to give them a little chance, encourage them to enlarge a little bit, and they will send the money themselves. Like what.. ..develop the tourism and entertainment industries, and let them compete with the people of the ideal city

Who can waste money more. Another example is to issue more debt to attract hot money in their hands that cannot find investment opportunities. "

"As for the inhabitants of Boulder....... It's sympathetic, but that's something Boulder should worry about. If they can't even afford to buy nutritional paste, those people will naturally come to the alliance to gnaw corn. “

Chu Guang was very sympathetic to their plight.

Those who survived were also the ones who suffered in the wasteland.

But he also said that he would prioritize the interests of the alliance and could not sacrifice his own interests for the sake of others.

And if they wanted to come, he wouldn't mind giving them a portion of the leeks he had cut from the nobles of the inner city to help them start a new life.

Anyway, it was the fruit of their labor.

".… In order to manage the foreign debts of the alliance in a unified manner, and to allow our creditors to exercise their creditor's rights more conveniently and efficiently, I intend to ask the central bank of the alliance to issue a 'bond' denominated in chips in conjunction with the Bank of Giant Stone City, which can replace the chips to a certain extent, regardless of whether the Bank of Giant Stone City admits to recognize its monetary status and mature

We will pay according to the coupon rate. If the nobles of Boulder City don't mind, it's okay to take this IOU as money. ”

Old Charlie recklessly.

"Will the Bank of Boulder City agree?" This is obviously a big hole... … Chu Guang smiled and said.

"Believe me, even if I don't mention this, they will take the initiative to ask me to come up with a similar plan, so that their claims can circulate like bills."

Lao Zhali was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed softly, and said to him. "It looks like I'm getting old."

Chu Guang shook his head.

"Where to go, all I can provide is a macro strategy, and the details still need to be studied by you

After the discussion, it will be improved. “

"I'll do my best to keep up with you." Lao Chari glanced at Sun Rongcai, and then said, "Today's meeting... … I suggest that secrecy is better. ”

In a sense, they are not talking about how to pay off debts at all, but how to cut more leeks from their neighbors.

If this spreads, I am afraid that it will not boost the confidence of the creditors, but I am afraid that the creditors will have the intention of cutting the pot.

Bei&A Sun Rongcai nodded and clutched the meeting notes on the table. "Understood!"

Chu Guang didn't say anything, and acquiesced to Old Kenli's suggestion to keep the content of the meeting confidential, even though he felt that it didn't matter if it was kept secret or not.

A lot of things are obvious.

Someone must have noticed that the bubble of assets in Boulder City is piling up, and the risks hidden in the bubble.

For example, the president of the Bank of Boulder.

Instantly, the U guy only needs to take a little time to check the ledger and find that there are even more chips circulating in Boulder City than the total number of chips issued by Boulder City.

However, the person who finds the problem will not take the initiative to puncture the bubble, because it will not do any good, but will get into trouble.

Making the last money before the bubble bursts is the "smart man's" approach.

If the last stop is a cliff, just get off before the penultimate stop.. … The closed-door meeting lasted only an hour before it ended.

Although many people heard that the managers had held such a meeting to settle the debt problem after their return, no one except the three people present at the meeting knew what was discussed at the meeting, let alone what instructions the managers of the alliance had given to the trade unions and the Ministry of Finance.

Just when the merchants from Boulder City were speculating whether the alliance had no money to pay off its debts,

The day after the meeting, an announcement issued by the Shuguang City Hall slapped everyone in the face.

The full text of the entire announcement is about tens of thousands of words, but to summarize it is only two! And it is a tender for multiple fields at the same time! The first is mobility.

At a price of 5 million silver coins, the Shuguang City Hall will bid for the purchase of 50 electric buses, which will be put into the existing 6 public transportation lines and 4 new ones, replacing the trucks originally used to pull goods and transport troops, and strive to reduce the cost of commuting to less than 1 silver coin, and can "sit" on the bus with dignity without getting their pants dirty.

Not only public transportation, but also related supporting facilities.

The tender plan for the Shuguang City Hall also includes a total length of 50 kilometers of concrete roads, as well as four new charging stations.

And that's not the most eye-catching!

The most eye-catching announcement has already made the headlines of the "Survivor Daily" that day... Early morning.

A single-family hut in Linghu Wetland Park.

Xiao looked at the newly released "Survivor Daily" in his hand, and Fang Chang, who was sitting at the dining table, had a surprised expression written on his face.

"Good fellow...... That's a lot of silver. ”

Luca, the lord of Dawning City, announced that in order to accommodate the survivors who continue to pour into Dawning City and to improve the living environment of the city's residents, the city hall plans to bid for the construction of 1,000 new apartment buildings on the wasteland in the northeast of Qingquan City, requiring an average household area of more than 40 square meters, and each building can accommodate at least 48 households and no more than 60 households.

According to the past practice, players can also participate in the design and bidding. He took a bet.

With the enthusiasm of those life professional gamers to make money, this matter will definitely replace the hot search of "B6 layer" and become the hottest topic on the homepage of today's top list forum

The newspaper also included a map that almost enclosed the open space on the east side of Embassy Street in Dawning City, and two of the newly planned bus routes were in it.

But then again, it's about building roads and houses. Where does the money come from? After talking about the almost completely real economic system, why do you feel that none of these NPCs play their cards according to the routine...

Wrong.

Fang Chang thought about it for a while, and found that he had brought his thoughts into reality by inertia. In fact, the situation in the wasteland is completely different from reality. What is the most precious black box here***........ Technology? Neither! It's people!

It is people who do research, people who do design, people who make screws and farm, and people who go down to mine and explore relics.

With people, you have the ability to excavate the ruins and recover the treasures of those pre-war civilizations. There is not enough manpower, let alone the wool of the neighbors, and the hyena meat has to be slaughtered.

As long as the coalition can siphon the manpower and wealth of the surrounding survivor colonies, then this set of quantitative easing is completely feasible.

If we want to find a reference in reality, we should not look for it in the 21st century, but go back to before the 19th century......

While Fang Chang was staring intently at the newspaper, Dolly quietly walked up to him, leaned over and pecked him on the cheek, and placed the steamed bun that he had just bought and was still hot on the table. Someone out there is looking for you.

Closing the newspaper in his hand, Fang Chang raised his head and said with a smile. "Who?" Dolly wrinkled her nose.

His name was Kish, and he said he was the son of the president of the Bank of Boulder...... But I don't think he's a good guy, and it feels weird.

She didn't like the guy's flirtatious eyes, but she politely asked him to wait at the door for a while. Basic repair

； @听到这个名字, Fang Chang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pushed away the chair with a smile and stood up. "You're right, dear, that guy isn't really a good thing, though...... That doesn't stop him from doing good. ”

"Do good," Dolly tilted her head, a confused expression.

She didn't think that guy who wanted to look at people through his nostrils looked like someone who could do good deeds.

"That's right, people always have to do one or two good things in this life, or it's too pitiful, just so I can help......" Fang Chang smiled and gently stroked her hair, "I'll meet him." ”
