Chapter 138 - International Currency (4th Update)

Following.

Luo Yin called Bart and asked him to contact the sugar merchants outside the city, saying that he would find out about the current situation outside the city.

When the businessmen heard that the big boss of the tulip candy industry wanted to know about the situation, they immediately came running in a hurry.

Luo Yin feasted on them at Miro's restaurant.

After a meal, Luo Yin probably learned a lot about the situation outside the city.

To put it simply, the commercial potential outside the city is still very high, but because of the different currencies, it has not been tapped at all.

As for cane sugar and gem sugar, sales outside the city are now steadily rising, but also due to monetary reasons, some people want to buy, but don't want to spend this unjust money, plus there is honey as a substitute, so the sales increase is not high.

They have repeatedly said that if Luo Yin collects metal currency, then sales will definitely increase greatly, and the tulip sugar industry will definitely make money.

After understanding this information, Luo Yin had already made a decision in his heart.

"Yes, from now on, we in the tulip sugar industry accept metal currency transactions."

Luo Yin said suddenly.

These words made the crowd ecstatic.

They are actually a bit exaggerated, they don't know if the tulip sugar industry can make money, but they can certainly make it themselves.

However, Luo Yin doesn't care whether he makes money or not, as long as he doesn't lose money, he only wants metal currency now.

After bidding farewell to these happy merchants, Luo Yin called Lunen again.

Tell him that he was already preparing metal currency and that he should be able to make up a sum in less than two weeks, and he asked Lunn how he would receive it.

Lunn said that he would contact the company, and in two weeks, there would be a caravan going to Jumbi City, and after Luo Yin verified their identities, he would just hand them over the metal currency, and they would bring the money to Lun.

Metal currency is not paper money after all, and it is not very convenient to carry, especially a large number of metal currency, a person must not be able to carry it, so he can only choose a caravan.

Of course, these costs money, and they don't come cheap. The cooperation between the two is cooperation, and when the money should be calculated, it can't be a lake.

Luo Yin said that there was no problem, this trip was just a test to see how it went.

If the final result meets Luo Yin's expectations, then this is likely to be a long-term business, and he will have no problem spending money to build a caravan by himself.

At this time, Lunn said that when he asked about metal currency yesterday, he was surprised to learn that although the owners of those sugar cane plantations accepted the coin, they preferred metal currency and wolf coins. Because the natives prefer metal money, they have metal money or trade with the natives.

If Luo Yin can trade with metal currency or Sirius coins, they will have a certain discount.

In this world, there is no currency that can unify the whole world.

But if you don't have it at all, that's not entirely true.

Because before paper money was made, all countries used metal money.

Although the style, amount, and quality of metal currencies are different, their materials are basically the same, and they are all precious metals.

So to some extent, metal money can be regarded as an international currency.

But there is a big problem with metal money, that is, the quality is too heavy and it is not easy to carry. After all, it can't be all gold and silver coins, copper coins are the mainstream of metal currency.

Therefore, some businessmen who do cross-regional trade will try to use the currencies of large countries to trade, after all, the big countries have guarantees.

But they also want metal currency, because some of them are indigenous or something, and people don't go to big countries, so big country currencies are useless to them......

After knowing this, Luo Yin had another idea in his heart.

Since metal currency can be traded abroad, and he needs something abroad, why not open a metal currency exchange bank?

Now many people outside the city of Qiongbi City are reluctant to spend fees to exchange joint coins, and they can't spend a bunch of metal currencies in the city.

Therefore, if Luo Yin opened a metal currency exchange bank at this time and provided a metal currency exchange joint currency business without charging fees, wouldn't he be able to gather a large number of metal currencies!

But if he doesn't charge a fee, then he may lose money, but he shouldn't lose much.

Because the metal currency he received no longer had to be exchanged for Union Coin, he could spend it directly abroad.

But there's the catch, and that's that he's sure the metal currency is valuable on the outside.

If the price is too low, for example, a silver coin worth 500 United Coins in China is only worth 100 United Coins abroad, then Luo Yin Ke will lose a lot, after all, he received it according to 500 yuan.

So, the key to this question is to first look at what the value of these metal currencies is.

Opening a bank should be a good idea, but you'll have to wait for Lunn to estimate the value first.

After all, each country has a different metal currency style, different weight, and even different purity, and it is impossible to measure it by the value of the metal itself.

Luo Yin suddenly thought of an unrealistic idea.

The rare metals that are now used as coins in the world are brass, silver, and gold.

If he could issue a currency that could be exchanged directly for brass, silver, and gold, wouldn't that become an international currency?

But this is just a thought, in fact, it is definitely unlikely, after all, how many rare metals must be stored here!

……

The announcement of the Tulip Sugar Company's acceptance of metal currency did not spread widely. After all, no one in the city has metal currency, and no one pays attention to it.

Outside the city, because of the propaganda of these merchants, the reputation of the tulip candy industry suddenly rose a lot.

However, this matter cannot be rushed, and can only be collected slowly.

March 12th.

Mayor Burton called Luo Yin and told Luo Yin that he had signed up for Luo Yin to run for the council, and the next 45 days would require the two sides to cooperate with each other.

Luo Yin has no opinion on this.

However, in the next few days, Luo Yin realized that this election for parliamentarian is not a simple matter.

Every morning, he had to dress up and follow the city hall procession to various parts of the city.

He doesn't need to make any speeches or anything like that, he just needs to show his face so that the citizens have an impression of him.

After all, you have to let them know that there are a few candidates, and although Luo Yin has a reputation now, it has not reached the point where he doesn't need to show up at all.

Unless he takes one or two million out and gives benefits to the citizens of Qiongbi City......

As for the outside of the city, Burton's advice was that there was no need to go. As long as Luo Yin can get the votes in the city, it will basically be stable.

People outside the city don't know Luo Yin, and it's better to concentrate on the city when it comes to publicity.

Just like those candidates outside the city, they don't come to the city at all, they only do propaganda outside the city.

This election of legislators is destined to be a battle between inside the city and outside the city.
