Chapter 112: New Coins
Before leaving the makeshift hospital, the guard in charge of guarding the door reminded:
"The test report in your hand can be used in Honsavady, but it is only valid for one year, and when it expires, remember to go to Aoba Hospital for another test, and the test fee is 100 gold yuan."
"100 gold dollars? New coins have already been issued? Fang Xinwu asked curiously.
The guard nodded: "The various banks in Mandalay can already be exchanged, but if you want to exchange gold, you can only go to the Aoba Bank." ”
"Thank you."
Fang Xinwu hurriedly took his two younger brothers and went to the parking lot to pick up his off-road vehicle.
When I came to a bank in Mandalay City, I found that there were many people queuing, and Fang Xinwu also had a bank account and deposits in Honsawady.
Now that Hungsavady uses gold dollars, and the gold dollars are pegged to gold, he naturally wants to replace the kyats in his hand with gold dollars.
"Hey, isn't this Brother Fang? You're coming over for a new dollar too? ”
A voice sounded behind him, Fang Xinwu turned his head and found that it was Zhang Dasong who he had met at Lao Ma's Sichuan Flavor Restaurant before.
He smiled and replied, "The new dollar can be exchanged for gold, and I don't want to miss it." ”
Zhang Dasong shook his head: "It is indeed possible to exchange gold, you need to go to Qingye Bank to make an appointment in advance, and only accept exchanges between 100 grams ~ 10,000 grams at a time, more than 10,000 grams need to apply to the Monetary Authority of Honsavady, and each person can only exchange up to 120,000 grams of gold per year." ”
"I see, it seems to be to limit the large-scale outflow of gold."
Zhang Dasong reminded: "Not only that, the gold dollar does not accept currency swaps, and only the gold dollar is used in international trade in Honsavady, but I heard that enterprises can take the green channel to obtain a special large exchange." ”
"Are there any restrictions on gold leaving the country?" Fang Xinwu asked.
Zhang Dasong shook his head: "That's not it, Qingye Bank minted a large number of 100 grams of gold coins, stacked in the banks of various port cities, if you want to take gold out of the country, they are even willing to send security guards to the border, a friend of mine returned home with 10 kilograms of gold yesterday." ”
"Looks like they have a lot of gold reserves!"
"At least a hundred tons or so." Zhang Dasong said with a smile.
After converting the account and the Kyats on his body into gold dollars, Fang Xinwu's account had a total of 830,000 gold yuan.
He didn't go to exchange gold immediately, after all, Zhang Dasong had already said just now that the exchange needs to be applied for and made an appointment, and the port bank can also exchange it, and it is not convenient and unsafe to carry a large amount of gold on his body.
The younger brother Maung Heshui looked at it with a hundred-yuan bill in his hand, as well as a large stack of small bills such as fifty yuan, twenty yuan, and ten yuan.
At present, the gold dollar has eight kinds of banknotes, including one dime, five jiao, one yuan, five yuan, ten yuan, twenty yuan, fifty yuan, and one hundred yuan.
Fang Xinwu also looked at the hundred-yuan bill in his hand, this banknote was a bit similar to the texture of plastic, with a solar system star map pattern and the number 100 on the front, and a complex double helix gene pattern on the back.
Other banknotes are also Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Earth, and Moon as the front pattern, and the back is a unified double helix gene sequence map, but the color is different.
Fang Xinwu found that many locals who had changed the new currency were not in a hurry to exchange for gold.
The reason for this is that Honsavady has announced that it is strictly forbidden to use other foreign currencies and old-fashioned kyats in the territory.
Large conglomerates, including the Aoba Group, the Hungsavady Development Group, and the Hindawaddy Mining Group, have demanded that their industries prohibit the acceptance of foreign currency and old-fashioned kyats.
In other words, if you want to hold a foreign currency to set gold dollars, it will be very difficult.
In fact, the Hungsavady branch used the limited gold standard, which was also a last resort, because on the one hand, the currency of Honsavady did not have enough purchasing power in the international arena, and there was not enough industrial and mineral support to obtain sufficient foreign exchange.
As for the seized money, it is only enough for the next two or three years.
And the use of American knife transactions, the consequence is to be eaten by the America, but also to beware of being harvested by the other party, not to mention that the relationship between the American and Honsavady is very poor, and they have been forced to move the capital before, and the risk of using the other party's currency and the international currency settlement system is too great.
Therefore, the Honsavady branch simply put it in place in one step and directly pushed the limited gold standard, anyway, it can obtain dozens of tons of gold every year, which is enough to maintain the strength of the gold dollar in a short period of time.
In fact, countries now know that Honsawady is on the gold standard.
Even America disdained this, relying on the one or two hundred tons of gold reserves in Honsavady, at most they could only enclose their own land.
But the countries and companies that refused to trade with Honsavady did not, because no one wanted to refuse this hard currency, after all, gold is better than a knife with a nuclear-powered money printing press.
As long as Honsawady does not prohibit the exchange of gold dollars for gold, even if there are exchange restrictions, there are still many companies and countries willing to accept it.
In particular, in China, Dongfeng Group and Honsavady Mining Group signed a contract for 20,000 trucks, as well as a truck production line and a tractor production line, with a total contract amount of 8.6 billion gold yuan.
In this regard, Aoba Bank said that it could open a special green channel for Dongfeng Group and send special planes to transport gold to designated airports in Huaguo.
Obviously the allure of gold, that's very powerful.
As for foreign purchases of goods and products from Hungsavwady, which only accept gold dollars or direct exchange of goods, Honsavwady said that I have no interest in the credit currency of various countries.
In the face of this situation, the Chinese side is also a little helpless.
In fact, they want to pull the gold back directly, but once they pull the gold back, then they may face a shortage of gold dollars and need to barter with the companies in Honsavady.
As a last resort, the 2.5 billion gold dollars paid in the early stage of Dongfeng Group's transaction were accepted by the Bank of China, and a special gold dollar settlement office was set up to manage the gold dollars from Honsavady.
Fortunately, the gold dollar is pegged to gold, which also makes its exchange rate very well calculated, and it is converted into the currencies of various countries directly according to the international gold price.
In other words, the indirect exchange rate of the gold dollar to the Chinese dollar at this time is about 500:346.
The indirect exchange rate of the gold dollar to the US knife is around 500:50.
The Aoba Bank issued a total of 50 billion gold yuan, which is equivalent to 100 tons of gold, for the initial exchange of the kyat, as well as foreign trade.
But in fact, there are still more than 170 tons of gold in the Aoba Bank's reserves that have not been used.
Following the decision to push for the gold standard, the Honsavaddy division has opened a large number of gold seaweed farms along the southern coast.
Around March this year, these seaweed farms can be gradually put into production, and about 3~5 tons of gold can be obtained every month.
And those golden seaweeds can also be used as raw materials for the production of methane fermentation plants, providing a large amount of methane for Honsavady.
In order to avoid exposing the relationship between Aoba Group and Homo Sapiens, this cooperation project is in the name of Honsawwady Development Group and Homo Sapiens subsidiary Emerald Energy, a joint venture between the two parties.
Many people on the outside are betting on how long the gold standard in Honsavady will last.
But the executives of the Honsavady branch know very well that with a guaranteed issuance of 2 billion gold dollars per month, the gold standard in Honsavady will be very strong.
What's more, the gold dollar is not a complete gold standard, but a finite gold standard.
As long as Honsavady has enough advantageous industries in the future, the value of the gold dollar will be difficult to shake.
Just as Fang Xinwu was looking at the new banknotes.
The territory of Siam next door to Honsavady.
Someone also got a freshly baked gold dollar banknote, Victor appeared in Bangkok in a low-key manner, and he appeared in a Xu family's estate.
The last time the Xu brothers died violently, after more than half a year of fighting, during which even the father of the Xu brothers suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and in the end, it was Xu Xuexi of the third room who had the last laugh.
It's a pity that after this brutal infighting, the Xu family was also greatly damaged, and many non-core industries were divided by other families.
Now for the cooperation thrown by Victor, Xu Xuexi is more eager and cooperative.
"Mr. Victor, please rest assured, Maysa Pharmaceutical has returned to normal, and I will arrange the production of stamps as soon as possible."
Victor, who was biting his cigar, waved his hand: "Don't worry about stamps, there is some trouble in the Golden Triangle and Lao Cai now, I need you to help me do another thing." ”
"I wonder what Victor needs to do?" Xu Xuexi did not agree.
"It's very simple, this is it." Victor pulled out a stack of bills from his briefcase.
Xu Xuexi took a look: "Isn't this Jin Yuan?" ”
"This is gold, doesn't Mr. Xu want to get rich?" Victor asked with a smile.
Xu Xuexi picked up a hundred-yuan bill, the familiar plastic texture was similar to the hundred-yuan baht in Siam, and then asked with some uncertainty: "Make counterfeit banknotes?" ”
"Nope! No! We're just adding some liquidity to them, and how about we get three or seven cents of the gold that we exchange? ”
"This ......"
"Don't worry, my friend, this is Siam, and they can't manage it."
The devil-like temptation made Xu Xuexi quickly give up struggling: "I can cooperate, but I want five or five points." ”
But Victor waved his hand: "My friend, you don't have too many friends in Honsavawady, if you can pull out 10 influential partners, then I will give you five or five points." ”
Hearing this question, Xu Xuexi also frowned, their Xu family naturally had friends in Honshawady, but it was only two or three small forces.
Victor shrugged: "It seems that you don't have enough friends, so let's open a banknote printing factory!" ”
"Whew...... Yes, how many were printed in the first batch? Xu Xuexi compromised.
"5 billion, that's a relatively safe number."
Xu Xuexi is also a man of action, and immediately nodded: "I will immediately arrange for someone to study imitation." ”
