"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I just received a report from the consul in Taipei that Taiwan has implemented the gold standard and has begun to issue the first batch of currency." Someone said immediately.

The British Prime Minister, the Marquess of Salisbury, immediately became agitated and said: "Taiwan is looking for death, so don't blame us! The gold standard system, how can they play around in small areas like them. They are looking for death. Then we'll do it right away, you're welcome."

The Marquess of Salisbury is of course very clear that this is a good opportunity to disrupt and control Taiwan's economy. If Taiwan's gold reserves can be emptied, it will really directly cause Taiwan's economy to collapse. Even the popular support established in Taiwan will have serious consequences following the failure of the gold standard. The banknotes in the hands of the people will also become a piece of waste paper. At that time, I am afraid that Taiwan will collapse. This is really a war without a fight! Taiwan itself "killed", so don't blame the UK for being rude.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I'm afraid I will disappoint you. Although Taiwan has implemented a gold standard system, this gold standard system is very strange, and it even seems to be different from our gold standard system. They are not a gold standard system that can be freely exchanged for gold, but The method they call the bullion standard."

The Marquess of Salisbury couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard the so-called gold bullion standard system. Taiwan's work is really tight. If Taiwan plays on the gold standard, it will definitely not be an opponent of the British in terms of Taiwan's gold reserves and Taiwan's economic strength. Taiwan's economic aggregate is too poor. However, the gold bullion standard system played by Taiwan is completely a means to prevent foreign countries from stealing gold and then hollowing out Taiwan's economy. And this method. The British are like a mouse pulling a shovel, and there is no way to start! Even if the British exchange Taiwan's currency at that time, they will not be able to empty out Taiwan's gold, because if there is no certain amount of currency, it cannot be exchanged for gold. What's more, the process of converting into gold has to undergo a lot of scrutiny, and it is impossible for the British to pass such strict scrutiny. Even after the exchange, gold is not allowed to flow out. And Taiwan will not allow gold to flow out. This is also a question.

Immediately, an economist took the initiative to say: "Your Excellency, this gold bullion standard is not a pure gold standard. In fact, he just holds a small part of gold as a lever, and then can leverage the entire currency issuance. They only need Take out a small part of gold as a response to those very few changers, so that the gold standard system will not collapse. This is actually the essence of the gold bullion standard system. Although they are the gold standard system in name, they are actually currency The control is completely in the hands of their government. And they rely on the reputation of the government to issue currency, and in this way they can use a small amount of gold to maintain the authority and credit of the government, so this method is completely feasible. I also have to I admire Taiwan. At this time, they actually came up with this method to carry out the gold standard paper currency reform, so that they can save most of the gold, and then they can also use paper money. It is incredible who came up with this idea. "

These British economists have no idea that the so-called gold bullion standard is their system after World War I, and this is the wisdom of countless European economists. However, it was directly used by Wang Guorui. I have to say that it surprised countless British people during this period.

"Your Excellency, I think this gold bullion standard will definitely become the mainstream in the future. However, we can't implement it yet!" said the economist.

The Marquess of Salisbury certainly knew that this kind of gold bullion standard cannot be implemented in Britain at present, because Britain is currently a government controlled by capitalists, and capitalists will not allow the currency to fail to match the amount of gold. If Britain implements the gold bullion standard, it is equivalent to the devaluation of the value of the pound. And once the gold bullion standard system is implemented, the currency will not be able to correspond to the gold in the vault. Moreover, they cannot be freely exchanged into gold, and the wealth of capitalists may not be so secure at that time. that time. The power of the government would be greatly increased, while the wealth of the capitalists would increase the risk. So if the capitalists would never agree to do this, and the reason why Britain was able to implement the gold bullion standard was because of the outbreak of the World War, which severely damaged the strength of the capitalists, and the British gold reserves were greatly reduced. That's why the British government was able to implement the gold bullion standard in this way. But now Britain has not received too much loss, so there is no need for them to implement the gold bullion standard in this way.

This means that the national conditions of China and the UK are different. In China, the government has always ruled the people, and businessmen are also one of the people. In Britain, the capitalists rule the people through the government, and the government is just a tool for ruling, so they are bound to be unable to go against the capitalists' ideas. Therefore, although it is clear that the gold standard will have a very important position in the future, the United Kingdom cannot implement it.

"How much gold does Taiwan have now?" asked the Marquess of Salisbury.

Immediately, a person in charge of intelligence came out and said: "First of all, sir, it is difficult for us to judge how much gold Taiwan has. But if we want to judge how much gold Taiwan has, it is better to judge the strength of the organization behind Taiwan. According to our According to the survey, their organization has sold many ships this year. If we look at the list, these ships are simply very huge. They not only sell civilian ships, but also warships. And they sell a large number of 10,000 tons The above civilian ships, and the market price is only 80% of other places, so their sales are still very good."

"What? They can produce more than 10,000 tons of ships?" Marquess of Salisbury asked.

"Yes, they should be able to produce more than 10,000 tons of civilian ships, and even more than 10,000 tons of warships! Isn't our Sovereign Class just copied by them and sent to Taiwan? Moreover, the recent expansion of Taiwan's navy has been very powerful, from the original one fleet to the current three major fleets, more than a dozen detachments, and there are not a few battleships. And the production speed of these warships is very fast, which is countless faster than our British Empire Times, we really don't know how they produced it. I really doubt whether their shipyards are all produced automatically, without requiring workers!" The intelligence officer laughed at himself.

The intelligence officer said it in a self-deprecating tone, but he inadvertently mentioned the fundamentals, that is, Taiwan's Red Police Shipyard does not need workers to survive, it is completely automated production, and the speed is of course very fast. Therefore, the cost of shipbuilding in Taiwan is less than one-tenth of that of the British, and the time is much faster. Taiwan sold it at 80% of the market price, and even did better in terms of quality and details than foreign shipbuilding companies, which made many people choose to purchase the so-called Hans ship.

In the past year, the Hans company's ship business has spread all over the world. With their excellent quality and very good speed, countless people choose to buy here. You must know that the most important thing in shipbuilding is rapid cost, quality and speed. Not only the price in Taiwan is only 80% of that of other companies, but the quality is much higher than that of foreign shipbuilding companies. Because they are produced automatically, the effect is naturally very good. Details Well done. And the speed cannot be measured by other countries. Because Taiwan's shipbuilding speed is fast, the ship can be produced as quickly as possible, and it takes a year for others to build it, while Taiwan can deliver it in less than two months. And the time saved can be used for one more Eurasian shipping transaction. So this is also a very important means, so the so-called Hans Shipyard can be said to be very famous in the field of shipping all over the world. The speed of shipbuilding is simply against the sky. Such a fast speed, relatively cheap price, and excellent quality, who would not want to buy it!

And this Hans shipyard not only built civilian ships, but even built many warships. Of course, these warships are not the latest models, and Hans Shipyard’s main model is the eight distant warships of the Beiyang Navy in the past~lightnovelpub.net~Although these warships are nothing to a naval power, they started It would be much better for those small South American countries. These warships are enough to change the local situation for those small South American countries, so they will rush to buy them. In addition, the price of warships sold in Taiwan is cheap, and the price of brand new warships is only half of that year's price, which is simply very cheap. Therefore, there are a lot of warships for sale, which makes many people envious.

This Hans shipyard alone has brought Taiwan more than 20 million pounds worth of income in the past year, which can be converted into more than 100 tons of gold. And Wang Guorui only took out a part to exchange for gold, because if all of them were directly exchanged for gold, it would be discovered by the British. And the rest of the money was obtained through some money laundering channels to European countries, and then purchased a lot of industrial technology and mechanical equipment to send back to Taiwan.

Of course, those countries will not know that the cost of Taiwan's ships is only one-tenth of their cost. If they know this, they will definitely not be polite, and they will immediately gather to deal with Taiwan. Just because they can't know the real cost of Taiwan's ships, they can't know how much profit Taiwan has made in it. Most of them also think that they just don't earn much, which is why they can tolerate it.

"If there is any news about Taiwan, please tell me!" (To be continued)
