Chu Guang could understand Old Charlie's complaints.
The more exciting the quarrels of his little players are on the front line, the more tight the situation behind them.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the past few months, almost all the money-related units of the entire alliance, from the central bank to the Ministry of Finance to the trade unions, have been wiping the butt of the alliance's army.
So far, there have been no major problems in production and economy, and the cooperation between various departments is inseparable from the relationship.
Of course, the most important thing is that he fulfilled his promise from the beginning and ended the war before the end of the year.
Let’s talk about the first question first.
As he said that, Chu Guang looked at Minister Sun Ruicai, who was sitting at the other end of the conference table, with a nervous look on his face, and continued in a gentle tone.
Do you still remember the last question of that test paper?
Sun Rui was stunned for a moment, and soon realized what the test paper was Chu Guang mentioned, and said immediately.
Remember!I remember the question is...If we borrowed money from the predators, do we still want to pay it back.
Chu Guang: What is your answer?
What I wrote at that time was... Sun Ruicai said nervously, I think even if you pay back the money first and then grab it back, it would be better than just stolen it.Otherwise, others will be worried about whether they will be labeled as a plunderer because they borrowed money from us.
Chu Guang nodded in praise and then looked at Old Charlie.
Unfortunately, he answered this question alone and I was quite satisfied. Some candidates' answers were quarreling, saying that the alliance would never trade with the plunderers, so the question was not valid.Another group of people think we can just blackmail the money, and no one will sympathize with the predators anyway.However, if things are really that simple, there is no need for us to do anything about the Ministry of Finance. We can just hire a "steward" and get everything done.
The predator is different from the mutant. This is not something that can be distinguished at a glance. On the contrary, it can also become a pocket that can hold anything.
The consequences of confiscating the plunder's property are completely different from claiming that the creditor is a plunder.
Of course, the reason why Chu Guang was half satisfied was because there were actually better ways to do it.
It is a more clever method to make the IOU in the hands of the creditor by force, it is a more clever method to make the IOU in the hands of the creditor by appropriate methods.
Old Charlie coughed softly.
I didn't say you would lose this money... That's just an exaggeration, and the original intention was to hope you could understand how serious our current financial situation is.
Chu Guang nodded with a smile.
I can understand your mood. We must pay back the money, and we cannot do anything to pay back the debt.Then the second question is involved now...how to pay back the money.
As he said that, he looked at Sun Ruicai.
How much will be paid at the end of the year?
Sun Ruicai said immediately.
The total debt scale is 5.1 billion chips, the loan term ranges from 20 to 50 years, and the principal and interest are 10.17 million chips!
Chu Guang nodded and suddenly sighed.
Too few.
Whether it is the scale of the debt or the principal and interest that have to be paid is too little!
If he had to pay back 100 million by the end of the year, I'm afraid that before he got off the airship, President Melvin of the Rock Bank would have been waiting for him under the airship.
How could he stand for a long time before waiting for Aphne and Boss Xia?
Sun Ruicai was stunned for a moment, and Old Charlie was also stunned for a moment.
Too little...?
Well, Chu Guang nodded and looked at them with heartache. You are so wronged by yourself during this period of time I was on the front line.Minister Sun Ruicai just said that the proportion of the deficit contributed by military expenditure to the total deficit of the alliance reached 769%. Even if our current total industrial output value accounts for a high proportion of military industry, this financial report is quite unhealthy.
You also know that this is unhealthy!
Old Charlie couldn't help but say.
This is the result of the logistics department being as frugal as possible...
Chu Guang continued to look at the old man.
The problem is here. The deficit contributed by military expenditure has reached 900 million. If our investment in infrastructure has also reached 900 million, wouldn’t this proportion be reduced from 769% to 50%?
After hearing Chu Guang's words, Old Charlie was completely stunned.Sun Ruicai, who was sitting aside, also had a stunned expression.
What kind of logical genius is this?
And aren't they discussing how to pay back the money?
Why do you think they spend too little?
Just make a joke to ease the atmosphere, but this is the reason.
Looking at the speechless old Charlie and Minister Sun, Chu Guang put away his joking expressions and looked at the two of them seriously and continued to say.
I spent that time outside to lend money to you, so that the residents of the alliance can live a good life, not to make you tighten your belt and pay off your debts.So when you tell me that you will adopt a more conservative economic strategy in the next three years, and take everyone to suffer, first reduce the scale of debt and then expand our business, I feel very sad... If this ends up, why should I fight this battle?
Individuals can reduce the scale of debt by saving money, but collectives must never do this. Debt is a rope. Once we are trapped by it, we will become slaves to our creditors.If you solve the problem by reducing the table, do you know what it means?This means that the entire alliance, in the next three or even five years, will have to work for the Stone City!Is this what a victorious country should do?We owe money, we are their fathers!
Old Charlie stared at Chu Guang blankly, confused by the logic of the mess.
The previous second said that debt was the rope that trapped the slave, but why did the next second the creditor's father become the one who owed money?
Minister Sun Ruicai was also stunned, but in another sense, he understood a little bit of the manager's idea.
…You mean, debt is a rope, and the creditor can use it to hold us, but we can also use this rope to hold us...them?
Chu Guang picked up the cup and drank a sip of water. While moistening his throat, he calmed his tone a little.
That's exactly that.
So before discussing how to repay money, I must first change your concept and tell you that the path of reducing the balance sheet and repaying debts is "absolutely" impossible, at least for us.If you want to pay off your debts and want to ensure the credit of the Alliance ZF, you should not only not reduce the balance sheet, but you should continue to increase your spending and spend more money!
However, how to spend money is a science. We cannot learn from the nobles of the Stone City, nor can we copy the experience of the Ideal City. I have to use our own model.
After a pause, Chu Guang continued.
This time when I came back from the front line, what I wanted to do can be summarized as one thing.
Old Charlie swallowed.
……What?
Chu Guang said with a smile.
Share the loot with the citizens of the alliance!
Sun Ruicai was stunned and didn't react.
Divide... trophy?
That's right, Chu Guang nodded. The victory of the alliance is inseparable from the support of all citizens. Our army cannot defeat those jackals with just fists.We have obtained two vassal states and two trading partners. Our residents can clearly feel that food is cheaper. In the past, I could exchange less than a kilogram of corn for an hour, but now I can exchange it for one kilogram... But this is not enough, and it is far from enough for the winner!
As he said that, he raised the volume.
The dining tables of the Union residents should not only be corn and potatoes, but only pigs, cattle and sheep should be the nutritional cream on the cob. They should also have meat, eggs and milk on the table.We want them to afford it and buy it, and then they can eat it whatever they want, making it very hard!
Not only food, but also clothing!Last winter we stuffed the pre-war money into the quilt as cotton wool. I promised that it was the last time, and now I will fulfill this promise. This winter everyone will cover real quilts, wear clean and warm cotton coats and leather boots, and live in a house that is not leaking.
And it's far more than that!
The loud and powerful sound echoed in the conference room.
After hearing these words, Sun Rui felt a sense of heat in his heart and couldn't help but quietly clapping his hands under the table.
Speaking of which, wasn’t he the choice to stay after the wandering life because the man in front of him promised everyone to live a good life?
He felt ashamed of the idea that he had made everyone pay back their debts for a moment.
It is natural to pay back debts.
But he is the Finance Minister of the Alliance and he is obliged to come up with better solutions for the Alliance!
Unlike Sun Ruicai, who looked excited, Old Charlie did not react much, but just looked at Chu Guang intently.
He admitted.
This man's rhetoric has a magical power to seduce people.
If this is a public speech rather than an internal discussion, the applause on the spot will probably lift the ceiling.
People would stand up and cheer him, shout his name, and even regard him as a living god willing to sacrifice his life for him... In fact, many people are already doing this, and becoming a member of the Guards is almost the dream of all the young men of the Alliance.
What else is more attractive in the wasteland than eating and wearing warm clothes?
What he promised not only to let the residents of the alliance eat and wear warmth, but also to let them live with dignity... Let everyone live with dignity, this is a big thing that the lord of Giant Rock City dare not say.
It would be better to say that the only people in the entire wasteland can be truly able to do is probably the group of people from Ideal City.
But after thinking about it, Lao Cha felt relieved.
This is actually not the biggest cake drawn by the manager.
Compared to building a new ideal city on the ruins and returning to the prosperity era, this bully is actually quite small.
Chu Guang smiled at Sun Ruicai, looked at his look of having something to say and raised his hand slightly, indicating that he had not finished speaking.
After a moment of pause, Chu Guang changed into a gentle tone and continued.
I occasionally entrust my assistants to observe how our residents live…of course, this does not include their personal privacy.
For example, a girl who works at a trading station has to work six days a week, busy from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and only one hour lunch break is available in between. She can go back to the village next to Linghu on Saturday night to reunite with her family, and then stay until early Monday morning to go back to work.
In the past, we lacked people and could only aggrieved our workers for a while, but now we have spent the most difficult period, and I think we should give them the time that originally belonged to them.
So when I was still on the front line, I called the person in charge of the trading station and asked him to increase his employees by 50%, adjust each person's average daily working hours from 12 hours to 8 hours, and adopt more flexible shift scheduling.
This set of rules has been running for half a month, and it turns out that it works completely!
The employees of the trading post will be more enthusiastic about their work and treat every customer more patiently. Not only those who travel around the world leave a good impression on our people, but our employees can also live a better life. After get off work, they don’t have to lie in the dormitory in a daze like they have time to take time out. They can go out for more walks, whether they go to the library to learn to recharge, go shopping on snack streets, or socialize with friends and do what young people should do.
Of course, what we need to solve is not just a problem of one person, but a problem of everyone.The trading post is just a pilot project. From now on, all factories, institutions and facilities in the alliance, whether collective or private, should be done like this!I plan to write it into law, and for this I am ready to double my budget.
After a pause, Chu Guang looked at Old Charlie and Minister Sun Ruicai and expressed his thoughts.
Not only will the residents of the alliance have time, we will also make them rich.Our minimum hourly wage is 1 silver coin, which can no longer keep up with the alliance's economic growth rate.I plan to get the league's minimum hourly wage to 3 silver coins early next year, and gradually increase the median to 5 silver coins.
When the residents of the alliance have both money and time, they have consumption power and more demand. As long as we can put inflation within a reasonable range, a market with amazing growth rates and business opportunities will be formed here.
In order to earn more interest, the nobles of the Stone City will not only not urge us to pay off our debts, but will also sharpen our heads and send the saved chips to us. After all, we will soon use these chips to buy their things and let them make their chips back.After a while, even if the Bank of Jushicheng didn’t print a penny, their chips in their pockets could double, or even more than double!
Sun Ruicai held his breath.
Old Charlie also looked at Chu Guang in surprise.
Until now, he has basically fully understood Chu Guang’s idea.
Not only did this guy not intend to reduce the scale of his debt, he planned to borrow more money.
Use borrowed money to develop the economy, invest in infrastructure, improve residents' lives, thereby further expanding the economic scale of the alliance and attracting more hot money.
But there is still a loophole in it...
Old Charlie said cautiously.
But we have to pay back the debts of Giant Rock City with the chips we earned from them, and it is impossible to pay them back with silver coins.
Sun Ruicai calmed down after hearing this.
...Indeed, their residents had the ability to consume in the past, but now they have to save on eating nutritional paste.
Looking at the worried two people, Chu Guang nodded with approval.
Being able to observe this means that you have put your heart in mind and that our plan has successfully entered the second stage.A large number of chips were concentrated in the pockets of the nobles of the Stone City, indirectly pushing up the inflation in the Stone City. If you were a nobleman of the Stone City and you watched the people around you get richer and the more chips in your pocket, but you were less and less spending, what would you do?
Sun Ruicai thought for a moment, suddenly showed a sudden expression and said excitedly.
Preserve value!I have to buy some value-added things or industries before the chips depreciate!
Chu Guang nodded with a smile.
Correct, although not quite comprehensive.
Blind investment is one of the complications of economic overheating. People will lose their minds in fanaticism and blindly invest in order to make the money in their pockets beat inflation.
Because the money comes too easily.
It seems like you can earn it with your eyes closed.
Gradually, people are more worried about missing the opportunity to get on the bus than losing money.
...The entire southern part of the valley province will not have a market worth investing in than the alliance. Anyway, they probably have no interest in wasting money on the poor who can't even afford nutritional creams, and I don't expect to make money from those people to pay off their debts.
In addition to investment, the nobles in the inner city will become more generous in their consumption habits than before. We only need to give them a little chance and encourage them to enlarge their pattern, and they will send the money themselves.For example...develop tourism and entertainment industries, so that they can compete with the people in the ideal city who can waste money better.For example, sending more debts will attract them to find hot money that cannot find investment opportunities.
As for the residents of Stone City... although it is sympathetic, that is something that Stone City should worry about.If you can’t even afford nutritional paste, those people will naturally come to the alliance to chew corn.
Chu Guang sympathized with their experience.
Those survivors are also those who suffer in the wasteland.
But he also said that he would give priority to the interests of the alliance and it was impossible to sacrifice his own interests for others.
And if they were willing to come, he would not mind giving them a portion of the leeks cut from the nobles in the inner city to help them start a new life.
Anyway, that was the fruit of their labor.
...In order to uniformly manage the alliance's foreign debts and to enable our creditors to exercise their debts more conveniently and efficiently, I plan to ask the alliance central bank to jointly issue a "bond" priced in chips.
It can replace chips to a certain extent. Regardless of whether Jushi City Bank recognizes its monetary status or not, we will repay it at the face value rate when it expires.If the nobles of the Stone City don’t mind, it’s okay to spend this IOU as money.
Old Charlie hesitated.
Will Jishi City Bank agree?
This is obviously a big pit...
Chu Guang said with a smile.
Believe me, even if I don’t mention this, they will take the initiative to ask me to come up with a similar plan so that the debts in their hands can be circulated like banknotes.
Old Charlie was silent for a while, suddenly sighed softly and said with emotion.
It seems that I am really old.
Chu Guang shook his head.
What's the matter? All I can provide is a macro strategy. The details need to be improved after you study and discuss.
I will try my best to keep up with your pace.Old Charlie glanced at Sun Ruicai and continued, "Today's meeting... I suggest keeping it confidential."
In a sense, what they discussed was not how to pay off their debts, but how to cut more leeks from their neighbors.
If this is spread, it may not be boosting the creditors' confidence, but I am afraid that the creditors will have the intention to jump off the building.
Sun Ruicai nodded seriously and covered the meeting notes on the table.
clear!
Chu Guang said nothing and tacitly agreed to Old Charlie's suggestion on keeping the content of the meeting confidentiality, even if he felt it didn't matter whether he kept it confidential or not.
Many things are obvious.
Someone will definitely notice that the asset bubble in Giant Rock City is constantly rising and the risks hidden in the bubble.
For example, the president of Jushi City Bank.
If you only take a little time and check the account book, you will find that the chips circulating in Giant Rock City are even more than the chips issued in Giant Rock City in total.
However, those who find the problem will not proactively expose the bubble, because doing so will not have any benefits, but will cause trouble.
It is the way for smart people to make enough money before the bubble bursts.
If the last stop is a cliff, then get off before the second to last stop...
The closed-door meeting lasted only an hour and ended.
Although many people heard that the managers held such a meeting to solve their debt problems after they came back, no one knew what was discussed at the meeting except for the three attendees, and no one knew what instructions the alliance managers issued to the trade unions and the Ministry of Finance.
Just as merchants from Giant Rock City were speculating whether the alliance had no money to pay off their debts, the day after the meeting ended, an announcement issued by the Shuguang City Hall slapped everyone in the face.
The entire announcement is about tens of thousands of words, but in summary it is only two words
That's the tender!
And it is a bidding for multiple fields at the same time!
First of all, it is travel.
Shuguang City Hall will bid for 50 electric buses at a price of 5 million silver coins and invest it in the existing 6 public transportation routes and the newly added 4 to replace the trucks originally used to transport goods and transport troops, striving to reduce the commuting cost of residents to less than 1 silver coins, and be able to sit in the car with decent ease without having to dirty pants.
Not only buses, but also related supporting facilities.
The bidding plan of Shuguang City Hall also includes a concrete road with a total mileage of 50 kilometers and four new charging stations.
And this is not the most eye-catching thing!
The most eye-catching announcement has become the headline of the Survivor Daily that day...
early morning.
A single-family hut in Linghu Wetland Park.
Looking at the newly released "Survivor Daily" in my hand, the long face sitting at the dining table was filled with surprise.
Good guy... This is a lot of silver coins.
Luca, the lord of Shuguang City, announced that in order to accommodate survivors who continue to pour into Shuguang City and to improve the living environment of residents in the city, the city hall plans to bid for the construction of 1,000 new apartment buildings on the wasteland in the northeast of Qingquan City, requiring the average area of households to be more than 40 square meters, each building can accommodate at least 48 households, with a maximum of no more than 60 households.
According to past practice, players can also participate in design and bidding.
He dared to bet.
With the enthusiasm of professional players in life to make money, this matter will definitely replace the hot searches on the B6th floor and become the hottest topic on the homepage of today's top list forum!
There is also a picture in the newspaper, which almost circles the open space on the east side of the Embassy Street in Shuguang City, and there are two newly planned bus routes inside.
But then again, this is a road construction and a house construction.
Where does the money come from?
I agreed to have an almost completely real economic system, but I feel that these NPCs do not play by the rules...
wrong.
Fang Chang thought about it again and found that he had inertia brought into reality thinking.
In fact, the situation on the wasteland is completely different from the reality.
What is the most precious thing here?
Black box?
science and technology?
None!
But people!
People who do research are people, people who do design are people, people who make screws and farming are also people, and people who go to mines to explore relics.
Only with people can we have the ability to excavate relics and recycle the treasures of pre-war civilizations.If there is not enough manpower, let alone pulling out the neighbor's wool, you will have to be slaughtered by someone to sell hyena meat.
As long as the alliance can constantly siphon their manpower and wealth from the surrounding survivor settlements, this quantitative easing operation is actually completely feasible.
If you want to find references in reality, you cannot find them in the 21st century, but you should go back to earlier than the 19th century...
Just as Fang Chang was staring at the newspaper intently thinking, Dolly quietly walked to him, leaned over and pecked on his cheek, and placed the bun that he had just bought and was still hot on the table.
Someone is looking for you outside.
After closing the newspaper in his hand, Fang Chang raised his head and smiled and said.
who?
Dolly wrinkled her nose.
His name is Kissie, and he also said that he is the son of the president of the Stone Bank... But I don't think he looks like a good person, and it gives people a strange feeling.
She didn't like the guy's frivolous eyes, but she still politely asked him to wait at the door for a while.
Motoshi?
Hearing this name, Fang Chang's eyes lit up and she smiled and pushed the chair away and stood up.
You are right, my dear, that guy is indeed not a good thing, but... it doesn't prevent him from doing good things.
Do good things?Dolly tilted her head, looking confused.
She didn't feel that the guy who wanted to look at people with his nostrils was like someone who could do good deeds.
That's right, people have to do one or two good things in their lifetime, otherwise it would be too pity, just right? I can help... Fang Chang smiled and gently touched her hair, and I'll meet him.
The more exciting the quarrels of his little players are on the front line, the more tight the situation behind them.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the past few months, almost all the money-related units of the entire alliance, from the central bank to the Ministry of Finance to the trade unions, have been wiping the butt of the alliance's army.
So far, there have been no major problems in production and economy, and the cooperation between various departments is inseparable from the relationship.
Of course, the most important thing is that he fulfilled his promise from the beginning and ended the war before the end of the year.

Not only food, but also clothing!Last winter we stuffed the pre-war money into the quilt as cotton wool. I promised that it was the last time, and now I will fulfill this promise.

Chu Guang smiled at Sun Ruicai, looked at his look of having something to say and raised his hand slightly, indicating that he had not finished speaking.
After a moment of pause, Chu Guang changed into a gentle tone and continued.
I occasionally entrust my assistants to observe how our residents live…of course, this does not include their personal privacy.
For example, a girl who works at a trading station has to work six days a week, busy from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and only one hour lunch break is available in between. She can go back to the village next to Linghu on Saturday night to reunite with her family, and then stay until early Monday morning to go back to work.
In the past, we lacked people and could only aggrieved our workers for a while, but now we have spent the most difficult period, and I think we should give them the time that originally belonged to them.
So when I was still on the front line, I called the person in charge of the trading station and asked him to increase his employees by 50%, adjust each person's average daily working hours from 12 hours to 8 hours, and adopt more flexible shift scheduling.
This set of rules has been running for half a month, and it turns out that it works completely!
The employees of the trading post will be more enthusiastic about their work and treat every customer more patiently. Not only those who travel around the world leave a good impression on our people, but our employees can also live a better life. After get off work, they don’t have to lie in the dormitory in a daze like they have time to take time out. They can go out for more walks, whether they go to the library to learn to recharge, go shopping on snack streets, or socialize with friends and do what young people should do.
Of course, what we need to solve is not just a problem of one person, but a problem of everyone.The trading post is just a pilot project. From now on, all factories, institutions and facilities in the alliance, whether collective or private, should be done like this!I plan to write it into law, and for this I am ready to double my budget.
After a pause, Chu Guang looked at Old Charlie and Minister Sun Ruicai and expressed his thoughts.
Not only will the residents of the alliance have time, we will also make them rich.Our minimum hourly wage is 1 silver coin, which can no longer keep up with the alliance's economic growth rate.I plan to get the league's minimum hourly wage to 3 silver coins early next year, and gradually increase the median to 5 silver coins.
When the residents of the alliance have both money and time, they have consumption power and more demand. As long as we can put inflation within a reasonable range, a market with amazing growth rates and business opportunities will be formed here.
In order to earn more interest, the nobles of the Stone City will not only not urge us to pay off our debts, but will also sharpen our heads and send the saved chips to us. After all, we will soon use these chips to buy their things and let them make their chips back.After a while, even if the Bank of Jushicheng didn’t print a penny, their chips in their pockets could double, or even more than double!
Sun Ruicai held his breath.
Old Charlie also looked at Chu Guang in surprise.
Until now, he has basically fully understood Chu Guang’s idea.
Not only did this guy not intend to reduce the scale of his debt, he planned to borrow more money.
Use borrowed money to develop the economy, invest in infrastructure, improve residents' lives, thereby further expanding the economic scale of the alliance and attracting more hot money.
But there is still a loophole in it...
Old Charlie said cautiously.
But we have to pay back the debts of Giant Rock City with the chips we earned from them, and it is impossible to pay them back with silver coins.
Sun Ruicai calmed down after hearing this.
...Indeed, their residents had the ability to consume in the past, but now they have to save on eating nutritional paste.
Looking at the worried two people, Chu Guang nodded with approval.
Being able to observe this means that you have put your heart in mind and that our plan has successfully entered the second stage.A large number of chips were concentrated in the pockets of the nobles of the Stone City, indirectly pushing up the inflation in the Stone City. If you were a nobleman of the Stone City and you watched the people around you get richer and the more chips in your pocket, but you were less and less spending, what would you do?
Sun Ruicai thought for a moment, suddenly showed a sudden expression and said excitedly.
Preserve value!I have to buy some value-added things or industries before the chips depreciate!
Chu Guang nodded with a smile.
Correct, although not quite comprehensive.
Blind investment is one of the complications of economic overheating. People will lose their minds in fanaticism and blindly invest in order to make the money in their pockets beat inflation.
Because the money comes too easily.
It seems like you can earn it with your eyes closed.
Gradually, people are more worried about missing the opportunity to get on the bus than losing money.
...The entire southern part of the valley province will not have a market worth investing in than the alliance. Anyway, they probably have no interest in wasting money on the poor who can't even afford nutritional creams, and I don't expect to make money from those people to pay off their debts.
In addition to investment, the nobles in the inner city will become more generous in their consumption habits than before. We only need to give them a little chance and encourage them to enlarge their pattern, and they will send the money themselves.For example...develop tourism and entertainment industries, so that they can compete with the people in the ideal city who can waste money better.For example, sending more debts will attract them to find hot money that cannot find investment opportunities.
As for the residents of Stone City... although it is sympathetic, that is something that Stone City should worry about.If you can’t even afford nutritional paste, those people will naturally come to the alliance to chew corn.
Chu Guang sympathized with their experience.
Those survivors are also those who suffer in the wasteland.
But he also said that he would give priority to the interests of the alliance and it was impossible to sacrifice his own interests for others.
And if they were willing to come, he would not mind giving them a portion of the leeks cut from the nobles in the inner city to help them start a new life.
Anyway, that was the fruit of their labor.
...In order to uniformly manage the alliance's foreign debts and to enable our creditors to exercise their debts more conveniently and efficiently, I plan to ask the alliance central bank to jointly issue a "bond" priced in chips.
It can replace chips to a certain extent. Regardless of whether Jushi City Bank recognizes its monetary status or not, we will repay it at the face value rate when it expires.If the nobles of the Stone City don’t mind, it’s okay to spend this IOU as money.
Old Charlie hesitated.
Will Jishi City Bank agree?
This is obviously a big pit...
Chu Guang said with a smile.
Believe me, even if I don’t mention this, they will take the initiative to ask me to come up with a similar plan so that the debts in their hands can be circulated like banknotes.
Old Charlie was silent for a while, suddenly sighed softly and said with emotion.
It seems that I am really old.
Chu Guang shook his head.
What's the matter? All I can provide is a macro strategy. The details need to be improved after you study and discuss.
I will try my best to keep up with your pace.Old Charlie glanced at Sun Ruicai and continued, "Today's meeting... I suggest keeping it confidential."
In a sense, what they discussed was not how to pay off their debts, but how to cut more leeks from their neighbors.
If this is spread, it may not be boosting the creditors' confidence, but I am afraid that the creditors will have the intention to jump off the building.
Sun Ruicai nodded seriously and covered the meeting notes on the table.
clear!
Chu Guang said nothing and tacitly agreed to Old Charlie's suggestion on keeping the content of the meeting confidentiality, even if he felt it didn't matter whether he kept it confidential or not.
Many things are obvious.
Someone will definitely notice that the asset bubble in Giant Rock City is constantly rising and the risks hidden in the bubble.
For example, the president of Jushi City Bank.
If you only take a little time and check the account book, you will find that the chips circulating in Giant Rock City are even more than the chips issued in Giant Rock City in total.
However, those who find the problem will not proactively expose the bubble, because doing so will not have any benefits, but will cause trouble.
It is the way for smart people to make enough money before the bubble bursts.
If the last stop is a cliff, then get off before the second to last stop...
The closed-door meeting lasted only an hour and ended.
Although many people heard that the managers held such a meeting to solve their debt problems after they came back, no one knew what was discussed at the meeting except for the three attendees, and no one knew what instructions the alliance managers issued to the trade unions and the Ministry of Finance.
Just as merchants from Giant Rock City were speculating whether the alliance had no money to pay off their debts, the day after the meeting ended, an announcement issued by the Shuguang City Hall slapped everyone in the face.
The entire announcement is about tens of thousands of words, but in summary it is only two words
That's the tender!
And it is a bidding for multiple fields at the same time!
First of all, it is travel.
Shuguang City Hall will bid for 50 electric buses at a price of 5 million silver coins and invest it in the existing 6 public transportation routes and the newly added 4 to replace the trucks originally used to transport goods and transport troops, striving to reduce the commuting cost of residents to less than 1 silver coins, and be able to sit in the car with decent ease without having to dirty pants.
Not only buses, but also related supporting facilities.
The bidding plan of Shuguang City Hall also includes a concrete road with a total mileage of 50 kilometers and four new charging stations.
And this is not the most eye-catching thing!
The most eye-catching announcement has become the headline of the Survivor Daily that day...
early morning.
A single-family hut in Linghu Wetland Park.
Looking at the newly released "Survivor Daily" in my hand, the long face sitting at the dining table was filled with surprise.
Good guy... This is a lot of silver coins.
Luca, the lord of Shuguang City, announced that in order to accommodate survivors who continue to pour into Shuguang City and to improve the living environment of residents in the city, the city hall plans to bid for the construction of 1,000 new apartment buildings on the wasteland in the northeast of Qingquan City, requiring the average area of households to be more than 40 square meters, each building can accommodate at least 48 households, with a maximum of no more than 60 households.
According to past practice, players can also participate in design and bidding.
He dared to bet.
With the enthusiasm of professional players in life to make money, this matter will definitely replace the hot searches on the B6th floor and become the hottest topic on the homepage of today's top list forum!
There is also a picture in the newspaper, which almost circles the open space on the east side of the Embassy Street in Shuguang City, and there are two newly planned bus routes inside.
But then again, this is a road construction and a house construction.
Where does the money come from?
I agreed to have an almost completely real economic system, but I feel that these NPCs do not play by the rules...
wrong.
Fang Chang thought about it again and found that he had inertia brought into reality thinking.
In fact, the situation on the wasteland is completely different from the reality.
What is the most precious thing here?
Black box?
science and technology?
None!
But people!
People who do research are people, people who do design are people, people who make screws and farming are also people, and people who go to mines to explore relics.
Only with people can we have the ability to excavate relics and recycle the treasures of pre-war civilizations.If there is not enough manpower, let alone pulling out the neighbor's wool, you will have to be slaughtered by someone to sell hyena meat.
As long as the alliance can constantly siphon their manpower and wealth from the surrounding survivor settlements, this quantitative easing operation is actually completely feasible.
If you want to find references in reality, you cannot find them in the 21st century, but you should go back to earlier than the 19th century...
Just as Fang Chang was staring at the newspaper intently thinking, Dolly quietly walked to him, leaned over and pecked on his cheek, and placed the bun that he had just bought and was still hot on the table.
Someone is looking for you outside.
After closing the newspaper in his hand, Fang Chang raised his head and smiled and said.
who?
Dolly wrinkled her nose.
His name is Kissie, and he also said that he is the son of the president of the Stone Bank... But I don't think he looks like a good person, and it gives people a strange feeling.
She didn't like the guy's frivolous eyes, but she still politely asked him to wait at the door for a while.
Motoshi?
Hearing this name, Fang Chang's eyes lit up and she smiled and pushed the chair away and stood up.
You are right, my dear, that guy is indeed not a good thing, but... it doesn't prevent him from doing good things.
Do good things?Dolly tilted her head, looking confused.
She didn't feel that the guy who wanted to look at people with his nostrils was like someone who could do good deeds.
That's right, people have to do one or two good things in their lifetime, otherwise it would be too pity, just right? I can help... Fang Chang smiled and gently touched her hair, and I'll meet him.
