Chapter 147 Guangyuan

  After everyone sat down, Tang Zheng coughed, and everyone at the scene straightened their backs.

   "Today, I didn't expect so many people to come, but since they are all here, let's have a simple meeting."

   "Everyone has seen that our Zhuguang Bank has been established, and we will soon build a banknote printing factory. This means that our Zhuguang City has officially bid farewell to the era of barter and points."

"There are advantages and disadvantages to doing this. Needless to say, everyone understands the advantages. It is more convenient, everyone can get a salary, and their lives are better. But there are also many disadvantages. First of all, we do this without a doubt. It violated the taboo of the empire, because the minting and issuing of banknotes has always been under the sole control of the royal family, and the Hanyue coins we used before also had the words Yuanjing Royal Bank printed on them."

   "It is convenient for us to issue currency now, but we may offend the empire in the future. Everyone must be mentally prepared."

  All the people present showed indifferent expressions on their faces. As members of the Light Chasing Army, apart from being loyal to Tang Zheng, they didn't take other things seriously.

Tang Zheng was also helpless, so he could only continue: "Moreover, the issuance of currency will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the surrounding forces, making us a target of public criticism. During this process, I don't know how many people will be jealous and even sabotage. And under our leadership , there may be other people who will follow our lead in issuing currency and face competition in the future, these are all problems.”

   Tang Zheng's mouth was a little dry when he said that, seeing that everyone in the Chasing Light Army was still indifferent, he simply gave up the idea of ​​persuading his subordinates.

   "Okay, now that it's decided, I won't repeat myself, Qi Zhengyang, what are the prerequisites for issuing currency?"

  The new president of Zhuguang Bank, Qi Zhengyang, stood up, nodded slightly to Tang Zheng, and then began to speak.

   "General, colleagues, let me first talk about the prerequisites for currency issuance."

"Before we Hanyue, there were probably these conditions for issuing currency. First, it was issued based on the domestic economic situation, then looking at the current price level, and then evaluating future market demand and predicting the currency demand for a period of time in the future. Among them It also involves issues such as foreign exchange reserves.”

  "Generally speaking, if the domestic economy grows fast, the money supply will increase. If inflationary pressure is high, then monetary policy will be tightened."

"Finally, considering all aspects, according to the actual needs, then formulate a money printing plan, and in the process of printing, the Imperial Royal Bank will also take some measures to control the money supply and maintain price stability. The most intuitive method here is to control The amount and speed of money printing will also adjust bank deposit reserves. Only when these things are done in place can currency stability be guaranteed and the economy develop well.”

   After Qi Zhengyang finished speaking, everyone immediately welcomed warm applause.

The palms of these idiots in the Chasing Light Army are about to slap red. They usually only know how to shoot and fire. Where have they heard such high-spirited talks? They all say "Although I don't know what you are talking about, but you look so powerful" look.

  Tang Zheng also felt dizzy when he heard it, coughed and asked: "Um...do we need to be so complicated?"

Qi Zhengyang nodded politely to Tang Zheng again: "General, our place is much simpler, because Zhuguang City is newly built, everything is thriving, and the price level has points for comparison, so it's easy to settle down, and there is no need to consider the international situation now. There is no need to inquire about import and export trade, and it does not involve foreign exchange reserves. As long as you don’t print too much at one time at the beginning, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

   Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and really wanted to ask Qi Zhengyang, since it's not that complicated, then why did you say so much before?

  But he couldn't ask such unlevel questions, as if he didn't understand when he said it.

   "Is that because I have built a banknote printing plant now, so our bank can start working."

Qi Zhengyang hurriedly said: "General, before that, we still need to determine the currency denomination, pattern, and how much to exchange with the existing points. We will calculate the point exchange ratio and determine it, but the face value and patterns need you Let's decide."

   Tang Zheng didn't speak immediately, but thought about Hanyue's currency.

  The currency before Hanyue was called Hanyueyuan, with denominations of 100 yuan, 50 yuan, 20 yuan, 10 yuan, 5 yuan, 2 yuan, 1 yuan, 5 jiao and so on.

   Tang Zheng did some calculations, and felt that the 50 yuan and 20 yuan can be changed, and directly changed to a 30 yuan one.

   Holding 100 yuan like this, it is also very convenient to find change.

  But he also considered one more point, that is, what should be the maximum face value of the currency.

He raised this question, and Qi Zhengyang said: "General, in the past, only one hundred yuan was issued in Hanyue at most, because of the mobile phone payment in the later period, the reason for the reduction of cash transactions, and also to prevent the proliferation of counterfeit money, but we don't want it for the time being." There will be mobile payment, and the currency produced by our banknote printing factory cannot be imitated by others, so it doesn’t matter if the face value is higher.”

  Hearing what Qi Zhengyang said, Tang Zheng felt that it was reasonable, and he was also worried that if the face value was too small, it would be more troublesome to carry cash for transactions in the last days.

  In this case, Tang Zheng made a decision.

"Then according to the maximum denomination of 1,000 yuan, then 300 yuan, 100 yuan, 30 yuan and so on, the smallest denomination is one cent, but I want to explain that our cents must also have purchasing power. Be strong."

  Qi Zhengyang and the others nodded one after another, and quickly recorded Tang Zheng's words.

   "General, what are the patterns on the front and back of our currency? What is the color of the currency? We must consider not only the different colors, but also the different patterns. After all, some color-blind people also have to worry about it."

  Before, the currency of Hanyue was celestial phenomena. The front pattern of 100 yuan was the moon, 50 yuan was the galaxy, 20 yuan was the cloud, and the reverse side was the emperors of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, Tang Zheng couldn't follow the currency before Hanyue. He thought for a while: "For the front of 1,000 yuan, we need to use our Zhuguang City. You can take pictures of the city, make it more beautiful, and then use it as 1,000 yuan. That’s where our roots lie.”

  Qi Zhengyang and others recorded it in a hurry.

   "The front of 300 yuan can take a close-up of our Zhuguang City. The three characters of Zhuguang City must be clearly photographed. After all, the distant view is not very clear, and the close-up is a supplement."

"On the front of 100 yuan, the cannon that photographed our Chasing Light City is the one in the inner city. This is the deterrent of force in our Chasing Light City, and it is also a symbol of strength. With this cannon, any enemy who wants to invade It has to be weighed and weighed, and it can also give the survivors enough sense of security."

   "The front of 30 yuan is our first transport helicopter."

   "The front of 10 yuan is our first light tank."

   "The front of 3 yuan is our first jeep."

   "The front of 1 yuan is our first motorcycle."

   "Then you decide on the pattern of the dimes and cents, oh yes, the front of the one-cent cent, with big cleverness and little beauty in it, those are our original military dogs."

"As for the pattern on the back, you can add patterns of our power plant, fresh water purification plant, radar station, arsenal, barracks, etc., which reflect the life of our light-chasing army. Well, the front view of the light-chasing bank is placed on the The back of 1,000 yuan."

  Qi Zhengyang and a group of bank executives swiped through the records, recording Tang Zheng's words exactly.

   "General, what about the color?"

   "For 1,000 yuan, use the golden one, it looks proud after all."

   "The price of 300 yuan is silver, second only to gold."

   "Use purple for 100 yuan, purple is also dignified."

   "For 30 yuan, use red, which is close to purple."

   "Use orange for 10 yuan."

   "Use green for 3 yuan."

   "Use blue for 1 yuan."

"It's up to you to decide the dimes and cents, but not only the needs of colorblind people, but also the needs of blind people must be considered. I suggest that the banknotes be made high-end and have a three-dimensional effect, so that people who copy them can't There is no way to start."

   "Don't worry about this, the general. The money printing factory will definitely be able to give you a satisfactory answer."

   Once the pattern and face value are settled, it is considered a big deal.

  Of course Tang Zheng also emphasized one point, that is the purchasing power of money.

  The currency of the Chasing Light Army must become the strongest currency. This is not because the more you print, the better. You don’t have that many commodities at all. The more currency you print, the more useless it will be. In the end, it will only become waste paper.

  Here Tang Zheng needs to work harder, not only selling cars, weapons and blood serum, other materials can also be used for sales, and he must have a certain amount of gold reserves in his hands.

   This request was made by Qi Zhengyang.

"General, because of the existence of the war system, items such as gold, silver and precious stones have played a very important role in our currency system. You'd better get a batch of funds and store them in the bank vault as our deposit reserve Gold, these things are also the basis of our currency."

   Tang Zheng nodded, but it is not easy for him to take out this money for the time being, after all, there is a shortage of funds now.

Then Qi Zhengyang proposed to recruit workers from the society, and those with a foundation in the financial industry are given priority, and also to open savings offices in various prosperous areas of Zhuguang City, not only to issue currency to the outside world, but also to open gold and silver exchange activities, so that survivors Collecting gold and silver and then taking it to the bank to exchange currency is also a way of funding.

   After talking about this, someone raised the issue of future wages and benefits.

  Tang Zheng believes that, in principle, the initial salary of each officer at the company level should not exceed 2,000 yuan.

  Because in his conception, the purchasing power of the light-chasing army is very strong. The current two thousand yuan is almost worth the twenty thousand yuan before Han Yue.

   Moreover, this is the treatment of senior military officers, and the treatment of other jobs should be reduced to prevent the flooding of prices.

  Hearing this salary, everyone present was very satisfied, especially the soldiers of the Chasing Light Army. They have been fighting all the time, and basically have no points, and it is difficult to buy things. Now all the problems have been solved.

   Then Qi Zhengyang asked another question.

   "General, shall we produce coins?"

   Tang Zheng thought about it. In the past, Hanyue's coins, he thought, were useless. They were heavy and small in value, so no one wanted to carry them.

  However, although coins are not good, there should still be a certain market for coins similar to gold coins.

  Finally, Tang Zheng made a decision that the Chasing Light Army will only issue one type of coin, which is a gold-plated copper coin with a face value of 100 yuan.

  The pattern of the copper coin is like the flag of the light-chasing army, people who chase light.

  The size of the coin is compared with the size of a ping-pong ball, and it is required to be beautiful and beautiful, so it is estimated that the coin also has a large market.

   After finishing all this with great difficulty, Tang Zheng growled with hunger and was about to eat, when Qi Zhengyang asked an important question.

   "General, what is the name of our currency?"

   Tang Zheng stopped walking, and blurted out his first reaction.

   "Guangyuan, this is our first generation currency, the name is Guangyuan."

   It is essential to issue 30 yuan and 3 yuan. Some people may wonder why and think it is unreasonable, but those who don’t understand can ask me in the group. I can’t explain more here.
