Chapter 303: A Forced Exchange

For the emergence of a black market in currencies in Hong Kong, as well as the export of various rare metals.

Obviously, it can't be hidden.

In particular, several victims in East Asia, in the face of the strong appreciation of the gold dollar, they have already felt the fierce internal and external squeeze.

Many people may say that the appreciation of the gold dollar and the depreciation of the local currency can not enhance the competitiveness of export products, which is good for exports!

But the problem is that East Asia does not have many advantageous products exported to Homo sapiens, while Homo sapiens has a large number of superior products.

In addition, the industrial chain of Homo sapiens itself is very complete, what can be produced in East Asia, Homo sapiens can produce, and what cannot be produced in East Asia, Homo sapiens can also produce.

At the same time, the internal subsidy for employees is very high, and this subsidy is not reflected in the direct payment, but the purchase of the company's own products, with huge discounts.

What's more, the new humans are very united, and they don't like to buy products outside the company, because they think that they are in the capital enemy, especially foreign physical goods, which basically do not appear on the shopping list of the new humans.

Within the Homo sapiens company, the new humans belong to the dominant and high-income groups, and they are the real main consumers.

Under the combined effect of various factors, this has broken the traditional model of depreciation of the local currency for exports, and the appreciation of the local currency for imports.

In short, Homo sapiens does not play according to the routine.

Now the East Asian region needs to import a lot of products from Homo sapiens at high prices, and there is not enough gold dollar foreign exchange, which has triggered the black market of Xiangjiang's currency.

Relying on the tens of billions of gold dollars per month in the cultural and entertainment industry, this can only eat the leftovers left by Homo sapiens, and this gold dollar foreign exchange is simply not enough.

For example, when a cargo ship passes through the Kra Canal, it costs gold dollars.

According to the current calculation, the annual number of navigable cargo ships in the Strait of Malacca will still be maintained at 7~80,000 flights.

The maximum number of cargo ships that can be navigated by the Kra Canal per year is about 45,000 flights.

And these ships have to pass through Southeast Asia, and they can't avoid several Homo sapiens offshore toll stations, which is not a small amount.

A large part of the more than 100,000 transport ships passing through are operated by shipping companies from various East Asian countries.

Transport ships in East Asia are connected to the energy resources of West Asia, and Southeast Asia is the only way for its maritime lifeline.

Although Homo sapiens has lowered some of its fees, the lack of foreign exchange in gold dollars still makes many shipping companies complain.

For example, the Samsung consortium, in order to maintain the transportation cost of oil imports from West Asia from continuing to rise, they took out a part of Samsung Electronics' industrial gold and industrial silver, and exchanged it for about 20 billion gold yuan.

This is to use real money to buy the services of Homo sapiens, and Samsung is simply a blood loss.

At this time, the prices of physical gold, silver and various precious metals and rare metals are also soaring internationally.

The Sapiens company that pinched Jin Yuan to death, except for a number of oil tyrants in West Asia and those countries with rare metals, other regions felt the huge pressure of Jin Yuan.

The Fed has already received cordial greetings from more than a dozen "good friends" hoping to get back the gold they have stored at the Fed.

However, the Federal Reserve has been pushing back, and secretly intimidating many Europeans to choose whether they want gold or natural gas.

The previous defeat of the U.S. military and its forced withdrawal from Southeast Asia have also been fermenting side effects.

If it weren't for the fact that America's military deterrent was still very strong, those old Europeans would not have swallowed their anger so much.

……

Seeing all kinds of "precision parts" made of rare earths, the export volume has been rising in the past month.

After weighing the pros and cons.

July 26th.

12th floor of Star Hotel Thonburi.

Wang Xinya looked at the work letter that had just been sent back from the Modu office, the content of the letter was very simple and clear, it was Bank of China International's plan to sell a batch of gold to Aoba Bank.

She instantly saw the problem, at this time, BOCI sold gold, it must be that the other party's gold dollar foreign exchange is seriously insufficient.

The Homo sapiens company has opened the exchange channel for precious metals and rare metals, which will naturally trigger the appreciation of precious metals and rare metals in other regions, and at the same time will also suck up the precious metals and rare metals in the hands of all parties.

In the face of the strength of Homo sapiens, in order to reduce losses, Bank of China directly went down by itself.

This time, the Bank of China took out a full 100 tons of gold and exchanged it for 50 billion gold dollars, plus the gold dollars collected from other channels, and the Bank of China currently holds 63.8 billion gold dollars.

When they withdrew from Honsavady before, they were still complacent and got dozens of tons of gold.

Unexpectedly, dozens of tons have been pasted upside down now.

Wang Xinya directly approved the gold purchase contract, but asked the other party to send the gold to the headquarters of Aoba Bank in Taunggyi before agreeing to the payment.

Dongying and South Korea have also had to continue to increase the sale of precious metals to cope with the negative impact of rising transportation costs.

This situation is a bit similar to the American during World War II, which is also frantically siphoning the world's gold, except that Homo sapiens is for all precious and rare metals, and it is not refusal.

Don't think that precious and rare metals are only a matter of rarity.

In modern industry, precious metals and rare metals are an indispensable part of many high-precision instruments, semiconductors, special parts, aerospace, and weapons and equipment.

For example, rhenium, in aero engines, can effectively improve the service life and upper limit of heat resistance of the engine.

However, rhenium, on Huaguo's online shopping platform, only needs 50 Chinese yuan for 1 gram, even if the price has skyrocketed to 760 Chinese yuan per gram recently, it is still a low price.

After many people buy rhenium gold online, they will find someone to process it into straps, necklaces, etc., and finally take these things to the city of Homo sapiens.

After all, Homo sapiens' drugs are so easy to use.

Especially after the Meisheng preventive medicine was launched, a large number of wealthy people bought Meisheng preventive medicine, where did the gold yuan of these rich people come from? It was redeemed through the black market.

Compared with the greed for money, the fear of Alzheimer's disease among these rich people is unprecedented.

These people contributed a lot of gold, precious metals, and rare metals to Homo sapiens, and they also helped Homo sapiens to force East Asia to take the initiative to purchase gold dollars with precious metals.

After all, other rare metals are more important in industry than gold and silver.

This is not to say that gold and silver have no industrial use, and the gold and silver currently in circulation are enough for many industries, and there are many substitutes for gold and silver, which are not as scarce as imagined.

However, the industrial value of some rare metals is difficult to replace with gold and silver.

For example, rubidium metal for the production of strong magnets, rhenium metal for lifting engine blades, and so on.

As a result, many regions would rather sell gold than see these strategic resources, and just like that, they were emptied by Homo sapiens.

But they are also aware of a serious sense of crisis.

If the trade balance cannot be achieved, the little gold and silver reserves in East Asia will not last long, and they will be hollowed out by Homo sapiens.

For the sake of strategic security and economic development, various forces in East Asia have no choice but to consider industrial upgrading or opening up new industries.

Among them, the cultural and entertainment industry, which has maintained a good income recently, has also become a sweet spot in the eyes of all parties.
