Chapter 134: The First Year Silver Dollar
After staying at Said's side for a while, Wang Yue went to a small factory on the outskirts of Tripoli, a small printing house, where the old equipment creaked and creaked as if it would fall apart at any moment, the air was filled with the smell of ink, and the workshop was full of cut offcuts.
"Ahmet, you should hire a few more people, at the very least, someone should clean up the trash, right?" Wang Yue couldn't help but complain to Ahmed beside him, how long has it been, and his new clothes have been inked.
"Boss, this is a banknote printing factory." Ahmad reminded in a whisper that since Wang Yue handed over the factory to him, he has always been careful that there is not even a superfluous person here except for the necessary workers, and the reason for all this is the particularity of this factory, because this is a banknote printing factory, although for the time being, it is only printing some expired rubles, but according to the relationship between Wang Yue and Tasha, Ahmad thinks that this factory will definitely be used to print real rubles in the future, and in his opinion, these things printed in the early stage are just a disguise.
"Ahmed, don't talk nonsense, this is just an ordinary printing house, a printing house for handicrafts." Wang Yue's heart was suddenly in his heart, and his heart could not have been Ahmed who had discovered something, right?
"Boss, actually, with your relationship with Miss Tasha, it's not a matter of getting the latest ruble plates." Ahmed replied in a low voice, with a look on his face that the boss can you believe me, but in his heart he couldn't stop slandering, producing handicrafts? Does the production of crafts need to be so rigorous? Even the coding rules are according to the original, and you are producing real rubles at all, okay?
"Ahmed, don't guess, I promise you. Now and in the future, only these old banknotes that cannot be circulated are produced here, and how much has been produced recently? Wang Yue heard what Ahmed meant, and he was also relieved in his heart, as long as this thing didn't understand what he was going to do.
"The 1938 edition printed 200 million pieces of one ruble, 100 million copies of the three rubles, and kopecks, all of which together amounted to more than 100 million rubles." Ahmed hurriedly reported, although there were still some doubts in his heart, but he didn't want to continue to ask, what the boss said was what it was.
"That's enough, let's concentrate on the production of kopecks in the future, and make some kopecks of banknotes and coins." Wang Yue nodded, don't look at this amount is nothing in this era, but in 1940 it was incredible, in 1940, the gold content of one ruble should be a little more than 0.7 grams of gold. Just these rubles, the value is more than a billion silver dollars, and the circulation of rubles is too poor, it is not easy to disperse, so you can only take small bills to those union republics to buy money.
Before the printing house printed a large number of ten yuan face value of Chervin rubles, 1 Chervin rubles = 10 rubles, 10 Chervin rubles - 100 rubles, the gold content is equivalent to two small yellow croaker, the amount is not a problem when the amount is small, if the amount is large, the alliance will be fried, it is not yet 1941, it is indeed unwise to stimulate the alliance too much.
"But the sales on our website are not very good." Ahmad reminded that in order to disguise the use of these rubles, Wang Yue set up a large number of online stores for the Western market, selling rubles in perfect condition at low prices, but the sales of such things are not optimistic, and they can only balance the cost, and they cannot make a profit at all.
"Ahmed, the main market for this ruble is Huaxia, with the sentiment of the Chinese people towards the alliance, coupled with the huge population base, this amount is nothing at all, just listen to me and continue to produce." Wang Yuezhi is really not nonsense, Chen Xi also sells this thing in China, thanks to the low price, good condition, sales have been very stable, and initial profits have been achieved, otherwise the messy ruble bills he printed before are really not easy to deal with.
"Okay boss." Ahmed didn't doubt it at this time, but the population of China was too much, not to mention that it was a large country with a large population, and the consumption power of China's population was not comparable to that of a South Asian country
"What happened to the banknotes that asked you to analyze earlier?" Wang Yue then asked, after being able to print rubles, Wang Yue began to study the printing of other banknotes, and if he had the opportunity to collect wool in 1940, he must have to work harder.
"Boss, with the help of the computer, the problem of the printing plate is very easy to solve, the main problem is the printing paper and ink, these things are analyzed to solve the production problem, as if the dollar with the short staple cotton paper and the pound of the Turkish linen paper are very sensitive, not everyone dares to produce, at present, can be printed only the Federal Reserve bills, yen, Kant tickets three kinds." Ahmed replied with some caution, Wang Yue has been explaining this to him for a long time, but the progress is not smooth, don't look at the banknotes of decades ago, but many things are in the same vein, just like the dollar ink in the forties of the last century, and the dollar ink in the 21st century, the difference in composition is not very big, and the banknote printing paper is simply the same, nothing more than the grasp of the fineness of the raw materials.
"Don't worry, take your time, you can start printing right away if you've already done it, but I'm curious, how did you crack the composition of yen banknote paper?" Wang Yue was a little curious, isn't it said that the yen is the most difficult to imitate? How did you get the yen in the first place, it's not scientific. 33
"Boss, the yen paper belongs to synthetic paper, mixed with the Japanese specialty of the bark pulp in the manufacturing process, tough and has a special luster, the sound is crisp, light yellow, the larger the denomination, the darker the color, but in fact, the so-called three oak trees are not rare, we got a lot from China, plus their technology in the forties of the last century is still a little rough, so the imitation is nothing, but our current banknote printing paper is not up to the current quality of the new yen banknote printing paper." Ahmed didn't doubt that these old banknotes could make money, but he was curious how Wang Yue could look at this little money, and how could his boss be an arms dealer or a big arms dealer, how could he look at this little money? Alas, the world of the rich is really incomprehensible.
"The same first billion!" Wang Yue nodded, he already had a judgment in his heart, the Federal Reserve bills, the Jinling government is desperately printing, and the military commanders are also printing, so the depreciation is terrible, one billion thrown out is nothing, as for the yen, the value of the yen in 1940 is still very strong, one yen is about equal to one silver yuan, uh, considering that the price of silver in 1940-1941 is very low, it is estimated that the yen will be more valuable, as for the Kant vote, whatever, anyway, in 1945 the Kant vote will collapse, It's better to get him in advance to prevent the devils from stealing all the reserves of Kant's votes in 1945.
"Good boss! You see, this is your custom-made silver dollar, which weighs 26.6 grams and contains 90% silver, and here is 10 million pieces, 266 tons. As he spoke, Ahmad led Wang Yue to a storehouse, which was opened, and it was full of wooden chests, a total of five thousand chests, each containing two thousand silver yuan, 53.2 kilograms.
"It's beautiful, Ahmed, you've really put your heart into it." casually opened a box and took out a silver dollar, which was actually a newly made Yuan Datou, but the difference was that these Yuan Datou were all non-existent versions of the "First Year of the Republic of China".
Now the price of Yuan Datou in China is basically between 700-800 yuan, industrial silver is only more than five yuan a gram, and the silver price of a silver dollar is less than 133 yuan, plus labor, 140 yuan is enough, not to mention those rare silver dollars and auxiliary coins are more expensive, so Wang Yue added silver yuan in his trade catalog, although the profit margin may not be high, but considering the market tolerance, he must not simply ask for it from 1940, otherwise, The finances of the Yamashiro government may not be able to support 1945, as for the value of the silver dollar? The period 1940-1941 was the lowest in history, and what else can it be, it would be nice to link penicillin to silver yuan next year.
"Boss, I've also checked, your country doesn't have this version of the silver dollar, look, will we also adjust the mold in the future?" Ahmed reminded that Wang Yue had accidentally made a mistake for a while.
"It doesn't matter, just follow this, be careful when you eat silver, don't affect the market, you can make as many silver dollars as you eat, it's already over!" Where would Wang Yue agree, the reason why the first year version of the silver yuan was made, the biggest worry was that these silver dollars would eventually flow back into his hands, and in another time and space, the Beiyang government would make a total of 750 million Yuan Datou, and a large number of them were melted and smuggled to Japan and Bald Eagle, so there are not many in circulation on the market.
What is monetary hegemony, the premise of monetary hegemony is that you must have currency first, otherwise there is no hegemony at all, the collapse of the silver monetary system is the weakening of the national strength of the Qing Empire on the one hand, and the lack of money supply on the other hand, Wang Yue is now constantly buying gold and silver yuan from 1940 to bring back, on the one hand, he wants to make money, on the other hand, he is trying to build a new monetary system, of course, this is just a preliminary idea, and the follow-up needs to be discussed.
"Is there a cap on the number of things that can be made?" Ahmad asked with some uncertainty, unlike the old ruble printing machine, all of them are the most advanced die-casting machines, and if they are fully activated, they can produce 50-1 million pieces a day, and if there is no upper limit, sooner or later it will have an impact on the industrial silver market.
"Make 100 million first, and you can remind me when it comes." Wang Yue planned to get 100 million Yuan Datou from 1940, and then use the first year's version of the silver yuan to supplement the market.
