Chapter 18: Rushing
The current Sunset City is, undoubtedly, the dawn of some kind of monetary and financial order.
The weighing and exchange of privately minted currency has promoted the establishment and development of currency exchangers.
The circulation of a large amount of privately minted currency has disrupted the market order, and the council has not been able to do anything except kill people, nor has it been able to stabilize the financial order.
This is a manifestation of the government's complete loss of control over socio-economic life.
Well, according to the wild growth of the market, as well as the experience of Gu Chuan's previous life. Then, on the basis of the currency exchanger, there will be a tentative custodian of the currency, and the currency operator at the upper level of the custodian, that is, the prototype of the bank.
In fact, the odd bonds issued by the Shendi family in order to raise funds are already a high-level financial means as an attribute close to investment products such as securities and stocks.
But there are still a lot of problems.
Gu Chuan thought.
First of all, how big is the basic plate of Sunset City and all the surrounding villages, and how much can it support? This is a confinement caused by sluggish demand and the inability of commercial trade to promote.
Secondly, there are no other countries besides Sunset City. If there is, even if there is no contact, or there can be some means to forcibly stimulate the potential.
It's just that he doesn't actually practice, and Gu Chuan doesn't know how far he can goβhe hasn't done all these things!
But young people don't need to think much about giving it a try.
After this night's discussion, the young people had learned many characteristics of Gu Chuan's thoughts, including why they did it and how they should do it.
By the time they got to the point of throwing out the concept of "interest", they had already understood the basics of the money business.
"Interest...... We give money to the people who let us keep it. β
Pebble muttered, he had seen currency custodians and knew the fees of currency custodians.
It seems that the intelligent rain flower and Qinglu have already thought of the key. Yuhua muttered:
"As long as we make more money from our 'deposits' than we spend on 'interest', we have no profit on our money. This is also an act of earning the difference in the price of the riverbank. β
"Exactly."
Gu Chuan said.
Last night's light rain was no longer falling. The morning light shone slightly through the curtain. Riverbank, who had not slept all day, still in good spirits, asked:
"So what do you mean that we need to change our tactics in the first place?"
"This is a bit exquisite, and it is difficult again!"
Gu Chuan smiled and extinguished the glowing tree lamp. The room was dark again, and he seriously analyzed:
"It's just that it's late now, ha, no, it's very early, I'm tireless to rest today, Yuhua seems to be resting too, and you're unemployed on the riverbank now, so you're not afraid. But pebbles, peaches, and dew still have to go to work, how can they be like us? β
"We're not tired yet."
The young people's heads are hot now, except for the clear dew, everyone has spoken out in response, and Gu Chuan has to continue to speak until he speaks more clearly!
"Don't, don't say that, it's not a tiring thing, it's a terrible thing, I'm tired!"
Gu Chuan pursed his lips and insisted.
Obviously a minor, but like an adult like a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, he shook his head and refused, so he insisted that everyone sleep.
But the two most excited boys, Riverbank and Pebble, also knew best that they couldn't resist Gu Chuan, so they had to give up, muttered, and lay down on their respective beds.
As soon as they lay down, several young people only felt that their sleepiness suddenly surged.
At that time, in a distant place, the sundial tower was changing positions, so in a nearby place, the clock tower on the street outside the rented house was also ringing, and the distant sound sounded three times.
In the world of people who are about to wake up, some sparse human voices are also remembered in the streets outside.
Gu Chuan lay on the bed, grabbed the thin quilt and wrapped himself tightly, and suddenly heard a small voice beside him:
"Chuan, can your idea come true?"
Rarely, the river bank did not call Gu Chuan by Xiaochuan. In the past, he (thought) he was old, so he always learned the names of adults.
"What's wrong?"
He turned his head and asked the riverbank.
When leaning on the bed, Gu Chuan heard the sound of breathing around him. This shows that everyone is not asleep yet.
"I was suddenly a little scared."
The riverbank was excited, and when the sleepiness swelled, the fear of ordinary people rose again.
In a dimly lit room, the pebbles on the right side of the riverbank whispered:
"What are you afraid of! Stupid shore looking ahead. β
The riverbank does not speak.
Gu Chuan knew the young man's thoughts, he was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling of this strange world, but suddenly he was annoyed for some reason.
Although he was born in the 21st century, when his material life was incomparably bright and prosperous, and although he did not have air conditioning, mobile phone networks and flush toilets, Gu Chuan's current simple and poor life was still acceptable because of Mr. De's collection of books. The reason why Gu Chuan was able to make up his mind and put out the long-thought thoughts was that these friends who got along day and night were a little more unfortunate than him.
At that time, he gazed calmly at the curtain that shone through the dim light, and asked quietly in this room:
"Riverbank, do you want to do nothing for the rest of your life and follow the path your parents walked?"
The riverbank was stunned.
Rizhao Village is a village that was born out of Sunset City. His parents and his parents' parents had also lived in Sunset City and were desperate to continue living in Sunset City.
"Or do you want to do something great that is incredibly difficult, that your ancestors and your ancestors' ancestors have never been able to do, that they have never been able to see?"
The riverbank was stunned.
He hadn't thought about it yet.
"It's fine." Gu Chuan smiled again, "Go to sleep, we are still young, and we do have a chance." β
But this is not an opportunity to wait, but an opportunity to allow for one-time failure.
The images and dreams of the chaotic crowd lingered in the minds of the young people, and the noise of the crowd outside grew louder and louder. , leaving only a trace of damp smell in the morning mist being driven to every corner of Sunset City.
Rarely, Gu Chuan himself ended up insomnia, lying on the shriveled and stiff bed, draped in a small blanket, looking at the gray ceiling for a long time without saying a word.
Three hours later, Yuhua wakes up from a bizarre dream. She first stroked her hair, and knew that the restless tossing and turning just now had messed up her hair and made it up.
Looking around the room again, Yuhua saw Gu Chuan writing on the only table in the rented house.
"Brother Chuan, didn't you sleep?"
She asked.
Gu Chuan is so embarrassed!
I pretended to be popular before, telling them to sleep, but I lost sleep with myself. The reborn fellow, who also wanted to save face, coughed and said:
"I just woke up."
By the time Shan Tao woke up, Yuhua had even prepared breakfast. The teenagers have not resigned yet, and Gu Chuan said that the time is in the next festival.
There are also festivals in Sunset City, and one of the most magnificent festivals is the Castle Founding Festival, which is said to be held in the middle of the hottest solar term, to be precise, on the twelfth day of the Great Heat Festival. First, there will be a period of vacation. Secondly, according to the calendar of this world, there is a high probability that the next solar term of the Great Heat will be a warm time, and there will be a large number of caravans going out to trade, and many border people will return to their hometowns to visit relatives.
The founding festival is not far away, and the young people will have to continue their current lives.
It's just that their anomalies are hard to hide.
Those who had lived in Sunset City for a long time, with different faces ranging from smiling to cold, suddenly found that their steps were much lighter than the previous days when they saw this group of imps struggling in Sunset City again.
"What, did you encounter anything happy?"
Yuhua's senior sister asked her with a pretended smile.
When Yuhua first joined the company, this senior sister asked Yuhua to do the most physical work, so that Yuhua was tired and panting every day, and when she woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, she felt that she was no longer herself. One night, when she came back from her night shift, Yuhua stumbled, on the dark path, completely unaware of her own existence, and reached out to touch herself, but stretched out to the dark front, like a piece of stiff meat that could walk.
She didn't dare to tell others, she just felt that she was a stinky and delicate girl, and others could insist, how could she not persevere?
Therefore, she didn't care much and gritted her teeth to hold on. But when this senior sister asked their common teacher for credit, Yuhua knew that those physical tasks were not what she should have done. Knowing this, her mindset changed.
She complained tactfully to the teacher, only to find that the old lady who had dressed up for the ceremonies of many of the big men in the city did not care much.
"I didn't have anything happy."
Yuhua couldn't smile at her, not even a fake one.
"It's just, I feel...... The world has changed a little. β
She said.
This made the senior sister very distressed and puzzled.
"What does it mean that something has changed? What happened to you? Tell me. β
Yuhua smiled but said nothing.
There wasn't much opportunity for this group to learn anything else, but the secrecy of the basics was clear.
All the ambition and pride accumulated that night were still germinating, and this group of people who came out of the edge of a world were still silently preparing their strength.
Gu Chuan is still working at Mr. De's.
Mr. De's history was not compiled smoothly, and he frequently went into the inner city to ask questions, and also gave Gu Chuan a lot of tasks to visit the outer city. When you go out alone, you have a lot of freedom and freedom in your time. Gu Chuan first completed a more detailed survey of Sunset City's industrial capabilities, and second, he began to write about banking, investment, finance, and macroeconomic policy in the confidential language of Chinese.
Macroeconomic changes are present in every era. A country's economic aggregate, demand and supply, the composition of economic components, currency and finance are all macroeconomic phenomena.
Even in the otherworld, where supernatural powers are mastered, there is an economic principle - as long as people are not completely self-sufficient, they are still extracting resources from heaven and earth, and exchanging resources and objects with each other.
It's just that there is a lack of data in ancient times, and it is difficult to analyze and predict...... But then again, the 21st century, which has the most data, also knows nothing about how to control the economy. When the economy is going downhill, no one can stop it! On the contrary, when the economy is going uphill, it can be artificially intervened to the point of chaos.
Thinking about it, Gu Chuan first laughed, and then sighed.
On that day, Mr. De happened to be there, and he noticed that the big boy who came back from the interview was laughing and crying for a while, and thought it was funny, so he asked him:
"Did something happen?"
"Huh? Mr. De, why do you ask that? β
"Otherwise, Xiaochuan, why did you shake your head and sigh today?"
"I ...... I feel like I'm not smart enough. Gu Chuan said.
How can he come up with any economic principles on his own, and he recalls every bit of knowledge he has gained in the past. This feeling is almost like being in the exam room, obviously I think I have seen it, but I can't remember anything, so I start to meditate, but it is still blank. When I got out of the exam room, someone mentioned a word, and I remembered it!
"Haha, why are you thinking about this!" Mr. De thought to himself that this was because Gu Chuan had read too many things from him, and realized that he was insignificant, and comforted, "Then you are already very remarkable now." β
"Why?"
"Because many people who have your insight are so satisfied that they think they know everything! No need to know any more! Being able to understand your own ignorance is already a good knowledge in itself! β
Dexian has lived for a long time, and the more people he has met. When he wrote the craft section of the encyclopedia, there were countless such people. Some unique crafts are indeed their ability to eat, and it is normal for them to be reluctant to explain clearly. But his ancestral craftsmanship, which can no longer make money, is still regarded as a unique secret in the world, arrogantly refusing to communicate, and pointing at the encyclopedia, then Mr. De is particularly distressed.
Who knew that Gu Chuan shook his head and said seriously:
"I don't think I'm great, it's just that I'm lucky."
"Lucky?"
Mr. De doubted.
Gu Chuan's luck is multifaceted, and this luck is still long, and even gives him a chance to live another life. But he didn't dare to say something unspeakable, so he only said with a hippie smile:
"I met a university scholar who came to teach me the knowledge of Sunset City!"
Mr. De immediately laughed and said:
"You're a slippery head! When did it become like this. β
After Gu Chuan finished the matter at hand, he asked Mr. De for half a day's leave.
There are ten people from Rizhao Village who came to Sunset City, and four of them live in places arranged by their respective employers. One of the main things to do before the festival is to unite the trustworthy forces as much as possible.
