Chapter 198: Catherine, You'll Regret It!
Half an hour later, in the conference room of the Governor's Palace.
Catherine and several confidants and civil servants filled by the handmaidens of the Greenville family looked at the silver-haired girl in front of them.
Silently chewing on the new concept that the other party threw out, which can make a lot of money:
"Poor industrial and agricultural scissors in international trade?"
"It's the scissors that are poor.
In fact, this set of theories has already had a prototype of the theory in the craftsman section of [The Key to Omniscience], which has caused a lot of discussion among the transcendents of the tower sequence.
I'm just refining that a little bit and I'm ready to put it into practice in the most dynamic Bantaan Islands. ”
Violet bowed slightly, stepped lightly on the ground with her little feet, and the third-order ability [Alchemy] was activated.
A circular alchemy circle engraved with special characters exploded under his feet, and the stone slab on the ground rose in place with great smoothness, turning into a blackboard.
A slender finger tapped on it, and a chart automatically appeared on the surface that Catherine, who majored in finance, could understand.
The intersection of two price curves, representing industrial and agricultural products, constitutes a "big scissor" that makes financial personnel shudder.
As far as you can see, you can hear the sound of "clicking" crazy sheep shearing.
Knock knock
Teacher Violet knocks on the blackboard.
In my definition.
The scissors difference in international trade refers to the difference between the price of industrial products and the price of agricultural products lower than their value when they are exchanged between countries. ”
"There are two main forms of expression.
The first is the scissor spread, which is expressed in the dynamic fluctuation of prices.
Think about it, when general prices rise, does the increase in the price of agricultural products tend to be lower than the increase in the price of industrial products?
And when general prices fall, do the prices of industrial products often fall by a lower extent than the prices of agricultural products?
To put it simply, when prices fluctuate, the same amount of agricultural products will be exchanged for less industrial goods, and industrial goods will be more valuable. ”
Pointing to the chart on the blackboard, he concluded:
"If the changes in the prices of industrial and agricultural products in a certain period of time are expressed in a statistical chart.
Then, the prices of industrial products will obviously show an upward trend, while the prices of agricultural products will show a downward trend.
The two are like the shape of open scissors, so I named it the scissors difference in the price of industrial and agricultural products! ”
Ordinary people may not understand what she is saying at all, but Catherine, who has majored in economics and finance, knows everything about it.
Turning the quill in her hand, Violet continued:
"I kind of get it.
According to your theory, another form should be the scissor difference expressed by the degree of price deviation from value.
When we exchange agricultural products with prices below their value and industrial goods with industrial goods that cost above their value, there is also a huge difference.
This illustrates the existence of a serious unequal exchange between industrial and agricultural products.
This is how some of the excess profits of the countries of the Old Continent in the Bantaan Islands now come from. ”
Bang bang bang
Violet couldn't help but applaud her, this is a comrade-in-arms who will fight side by side together, and the more capable she is, the happier she is.
At the same time, he did not hesitate to praise himself:
"It's amazing, that's it.
You are worthy of the famous Mithril Dragon.
Miss Count, if you had walked the Tower Sequence, you would have been a great scholar by now.
Moreover, this is not our subjective assumption, but the real social science. ”
"If you don't care about extraordinary ability, you can compare it by productivity alone.
The countries of the Old World, which had evolved to the age of giant ships and cannons, had obviously completely crushed the natives who had not even invented the wheel in the Stone Age.
Then here comes the key question.
If we can increase the production efficiency tenfold or hundredfold, the scissors gap between the two, that is, the gap between the excess profits, will continue to widen.
It is not uncommon for the foreign trade system to evolve into another form of state tributary system.
Every foreign transaction is a tribute from a backward country.
And it's more subtle and less noticeable.
Whether it is the indigenous city-states or other countries on the Old World, we have easily sheared the wool from their bodies without even noticing.
This kind of colonial system will be far better than the slaughter of the Castilians and the destruction of the country. ”
Seeing Catherine's eyes gradually brighten up after she gradually realized the essence of the problem, Violet's voice was like a devil:
"Backward civilizations yearn for the life of superior civilizations, and naturally they will gradually concentrate on living in big cities, and complete assimilation in a drizzle and silently.
In fact, it is just a yearning for a better life, which is human nature.
This project just needs to be implemented.
Rapids Harbor, built on the island of Yucatan, will siphon tens of millions of people, elites, goods, gold and silver from the two empires and those bulk tribes
It has gradually grown into a megacity with a population of one million or even tens of millions.
Even without a substantial large-scale occupation of indigenous lands, the city could have wrestled with a nation in the Old World on its own. ”
Catherine had already heard it with a light in her eyes.
You must know that her supreme technique is to use gold as a sword edge, silver as a sword blade, credit as a sword spine, finance as a sword hilt, finance as a sword scabbard, and property as a counterweight ball.
Relying on the rules of the market to rule, using power, law and force to enforce them, "investment" is a slash, "consumption" is a stab, and "export" is a cut.
These three sets of sword moves are actually the troika that drives economic growth.
If "financial instruments" are the edge of this sword, then Violet's "mass industrialization" is undoubtedly the other side!
As soon as this sword comes out, the world is invincible.
Decisive little hand pat, cut the railway:
"This project, I [Mithril Dragon] voted!"
Immediately, his eyes blazing at the third-order master master in front of him and said:
"So, Miss Violet, why did you choose us as the Vanguard Colonial Trading Company?
For a third-order master like you, there should be many better choices, right?
Although we think we have infinite potential, we are still very different from those national powers, or the Pirate King Syndicate. ”
Hearing this, Violet blinked her big sparkling eyes and said secretly in her heart:
'Do you want to say that I am actually in the same company as your Byron?'
And I think that Byron, though cunning and black-bellied, doesn't understand women at all.
The only thing they will admit to doing wrong in their lives is only one thing: the old lady was blind and married you as a man.
As long as the person who approved the project becomes herself, if she can't recover the cost for a long time, not only will she not be blamed on Byron, who is secretly planning all this, but she will have to grit her teeth and continue to chase after it when the time comes.
I set up my own items, and I have to chase them down with tears.
As long as you give her a little sweetness from time to time in the middle and let her see hope, this plan is simply perfect. ’
If Byron knew about it, he would immediately think of the scams like "return to China next week" and "deliver the car next year".
Raise your thumb and praise fiercely: You are really a special copywriter genius.
Moreover, in Catherine's eyes, foreign missionaries were good at reciting the Bible.
The grand blueprint proposed by a third-order master master is always more professional than a stupid younger brother who fights and kills all day long.
He's just a pirate general, what kind of industrialization can he understand?
That's why Violet decided to hide from Byron and attack Catherine directly, so that she could make the decision to set up the project willingly.
But when the words came to his lips, they became:
"Ah, the main thing is that I heard too much about the two of them on the way here, and I have been friends with the two gods for a long time.
In particular, I think that Mr. Byron Tudor, the Sea Hunter, is already one of the brightest rising stars in the Bantaan Islands, with a great vision and a great future.
In the future, like the pirate kings, it is not impossible to create a king's inheritance.
After all, there is a proverb that says well, if you want to become a general's wife, you have to marry him when he is still a soldier.
If you want to be the patriarch of a great power, you have to invest in it when it is not well-known, right? ”
Catherine's Golden Law enveloped every corner of the room.
It was determined at the first time that even if Violet had something to hide, what she said was absolutely true!
If others praise her own beauty and her own wealth, she can ignore it.
But praising her brother is simply praising to the heart, sweeter than eating honey.
Immediately laughed and clapped:
"Very well, Miss Violet, you are the chief engineer of the Great Industrialization Project from this day forward.
I've decided to hand over Riptide Fortress to you as a 'test field' and production center. ”
Violet is also laughing:
"It's an honor."
Everything is settled.
The more beautiful a woman is, the more she will deceive people, and it is really the truth in the world.
Violet's identity suddenly changed from Byron's scheduled chief engineer to Catherine's goddess of wealth.
Thereupon.
When Byron discovered Violet's traces through the [Golden Law], he hurried back for fear that the two of them would fight.
Unexpectedly, I found that the two beauties who had already started eating dinner had a good conversation.
It's like a good girlfriend who has been dating for many years, and it's a little dazzling to sit together.
Catherine is 172 cm tall, with slender thighs full and firm, a golden ratio of standard thin branches hanging fruits, and an explosive figure, beautiful and sultry.
Violet is petite and delicate, about 165 centimeters without her disguise.
Compared with the choppy waves of the former, it can only be described as a well-proportioned figure and perfect proportions.
Compared with Byron, who has grown to 190, he can only be said to be dancing in the palm of his hand.
Byron had never seen the other side of a girl who killed people at every turn, and only thought that she was light, soft, sweet and cute.
It's a pity that even the two of them are foul looking, it is still difficult to really touch the heart of his "face blind". It seems that the breeze is blowing, and it is difficult to make waves.
It wasn't until Byron learned what had happened from Catherine that he couldn't help but be dumbfounded:
"You"
"What are you? Do you think this big industrial plan is bad? Or do you want to stop the Vanguard Colony Trading Company from reaching the next level? ”
"Me"
"What am I? When you go back this time, take Violet with you.
We've really met the Goddess of Fortune this time, and we're going to treat me with the same attitude as Miss Violet in the future, you know? ”
Seeing his sister who was intoxicated with the prospect of making a fortune, and Violet who made a cute grimace at herself behind her, Byron shook his head secretly:
"Catherine, you'll regret it!"
But I can't help but think in my heart:
"Best Friend's Brother", "Sister's Best Friend" AVI.
Why am I feeling a little excited?
