The conference room in Xin'an town is a big shed made of steel structure, which is similar to some domestic vegetable markets. This is also limited by the conditions. Now it's just a small town. It's engaged in infrastructure construction, and there's no spare money. Naturally, there's no such tall building.
The structure of the shed is simple, which can block the wind and rain, and block the dazzling sunlight in the sky.
At this point.
The conference room is full of people.
Nearly three hundred.
They are all influential people in the territory. They were informed last night, so many people went out before dawn and took special buses to come here.
This large conference room is used for the second time. The first time was when the appointment of these village heads was read out last time, and some development plans in the territory were announced last time. Otherwise, the village heads would not accept the leadership so quickly.
In order to form a certain cohesion, this kind of collective meeting is held once a month to introduce the development achievements and the next planning.
Today.
June 1st.
The meeting was held a week earlier than the time of the meeting. Before the meeting, all the village heads and businessmen in the territory were talking about it. They didn't know why they were called in advance. Only a few people seemed to think of something, frowning and silent.
Li Sheng is one of them. He is a Burmese Chinese. He is 41 years old this year. Although his parents were born here, he will never forget who his ancestors were. Because his grandfather is a scholar and knows a little knowledge, he also learned some Chinese characters. He can write simple Chinese characters, and Chinese is no problem.
When Wei Jun's family was there, he was the head of the village. Most of the eight hundred people in the village were of Chinese descent. Later, when naidan came, his village moved to a gully near Thailand, not far from Wangsa. Naidan didn't want to fight in Thailand, so he didn't care about them.
After the new leader accepted these places and promised not to plant flowers, they moved back.
"Lao Li, why don't you talk?" A man beside Li Sheng was listening with enthusiasm. When he saw him lowering his head, he asked.
"Say what?"
Li Sheng looks up and sends a smile. This man is a businessman from his own village. He is two years younger than himself. He is also a descendant of Chinese. His name is Wei Hao.
"Everyone is guessing what it is." Wei Hao is speechless. After a long discussion, you are just like a person who has nothing to do.
"Guess what? I'll know later." Li Sheng doesn't care about Tao. He made a lot of guesses, and the Bank of Myanmar was just one of them. So until the moment of announcement, speculation was always speculation, and it was meaningless to say it.
Seeing Li Sheng's "unfathomable" appearance, Wei Hao went over and whispered, "Lao Li, do you know something?"
"I don't know anything." Li Sheng shook his head.
"I don't believe it. You're so smart." Wei Hao doesn't believe it.
"What's the use of being smart? If you guess, everything will be revealed later." After Li Sheng finished, he began to read the book he had brought. It was a journey to the West brought by his friend from China. The book passed down by his grandfather had been rotten by him, and his handwriting was blurred. So he asked someone to bring all the four famous books.
Feeling the broad and profound Chinese culture, the charm between the lines, he is never tired of reading.
"Cut." Wei Hao said, his old friend is good at everything, but he is slow tempered. Sometimes he has to be impatient to say something, just as he is now. But just because what he says is reasonable and fair, everyone in the village obeys him.
“。。。。”
At this moment.
"Quiet, the meeting begins."
A deafening sound rang out in the shed. The key is that it was not the result of sound amplification, but a person's cry. Naturally, it was the soldiers who made the sound.
"Does the lion roar?" Li Sheng, who also likes to read martial arts novels, thinks with evil interest.
many people constantly make complaints about their ways.
But no one dares to show it.
At this time.
They watched zero walk up to the platform.
"All right, everyone be quiet. The meeting will begin soon." The cold voice of zero rang out.
In fact, needless to say, everyone has been quiet. There is no sound in the shed, which shows that there is no deterrent force.
Although zero didn't use any hard means to deal with them during this period of time, no one dares to question their powerful strength and execution. Seeing zero's way of doing things, they really understand the meaning of "people don't talk too much hard.".
In the past, naidan was so arrogant that he was not finished playing quietly. He went to the West with his confidants. Later, those who committed many evils were gradually dealt with, and they didn't play any public execution. It was just a simple notice, but this silent way of handling was the most frightening.
Just like the town building and road construction in this period of time, they just started without mobilization, and they didn't need to pay for it. If they didn't show their cards, you could just send someone to repair it for us. There's also a salary.Nevertheless, the image of zero as the "devil" has never been diluted.
But now that there is a certain law and a judgment, people are a little relieved, but they dare not regard the people in front of them as sheep.
The point is that it's surrounded by soldiers with guns.
Who dares to beep.
Seeing that everyone entered the state, zero said, "good morning, everyone. Today I called you here mainly for one thing, that is, the Bank of Myanmar." After that, let the people below digest.
As expected, everyone below was shocked when they heard about the Bank of Myanmar. Naturally, the Bank of Myanmar also discussed one of the possibilities before them, but they didn't know the positioning of the bank.
Although surprised, no one spoke.
Seeing that people's faces softened, zero continued: "let me introduce that the Bank of Myanmar is a bank established by ourselves, which mainly provides our own people with deposit, withdrawal, loan, transfer and other businesses, and also has the task of currency issuance."
After listening to this sentence, many people can't sit down.
Currency issue?
They heard me right.
There was a buzz below, and nothing stopped it.
This is an old man sitting in the front row. He stood up and said excitedly, "chief zero, do you mean you want to issue your own currency?"
"Yes." He admitted.
"You... Why? "
The old man is Zhu Wen, a highly respected Chinese businessman in the local area. He had been doing medicine business under Wei Jun's family and was very popular. Later, naidan called, and they followed Wei Jun's family to Burma. During this period, they knew that the situation here was stable, so they ran back to continue to do business.
The changes here also surprised him that he was in the wrong place. But how could he go wrong? He could only sigh that he met a good leader. The local people are blessed. After he came here, he began to do the medicine business again. After the promulgation of the company law, he was also the first individual to set up a company. In addition, his business was not small, so he had the opportunity to sit in the first row.
Because he used to run business everywhere and have a wide relationship, he has a lot of influence in the local area. Of course, the influence only means that he has a large number of people, but it doesn't mean that others must listen to him. In this area, fist is the boss. I don't think soldiers are fists.
He didn't object directly to the zero theory.
In his opinion, such behavior is undoubtedly unfair to the people. If you issue currency, it is equivalent to printing money to spend and plunder their wealth. But to tell the truth, he doesn't think zero values the little money they have. The whole value of the people in the whole territory adds up, they don't think they have more assets than zero, so he asked Why?
This sentence also asked the voice of all of you.
"Mr. Zhu, pay attention to your health. Don't get excited. Please sit down first." Zero said with a smile.
That's what I'm waiting for.
Zhu Wen also slowly sat down, and other village leaders, staring at the zero above the stage, hoping to give an explanation.
"First of all, thank you for your trust. I didn't oppose my proposal directly. Let me tell you why.
First, the currency forms in our territory are too chaotic. The US dollar, RMB, Thai baht, Vietnamese Dong, Myanmar dollar and even Japanese dollar are in circulation, which is not conducive to our economic development and daily life.
Second, considering the scale of the economy in the future, as promised at the first meeting, we will vigorously develop tourism, jewelry, grain and other industries. But now, I can tell you that we will produce high-tech products and increase infrastructure construction in the future. Without a unified currency, the settlement will be very difficult "I'm sorry." Zero said.
People here keep nodding. Zero is right. The currencies in the territory are too messy. The exchange rate of various currencies is even out of line with the international exchange rate, forming a regional exchange rate pattern. It's a wonder that a unified currency is really good for businessmen.
But that's not enough to convince them.
They all look at zero.
After a few seconds of digestion, he said, "I know that you doubt the value of our own currency. You can rest assured that we will exchange these currencies one by one according to the exchange rate of RMB, because the large amount of money is really a hindrance. We are responsible for maintaining the value of the money. At any time, it is within the scope of our commitment The purchasing power of the company. " He didn't fill up his words so that he would not be able to come down in the future.
"First of all, this is the currency we make, one set for each." With that, the soldiers took the thick hardcover boxes and sent the money to the village heads and businessmen below. These are made-up boxes for jewelry. They are exquisitely shaped and made in the territory. They are mainly supplied to Tang Kai's jewelry company. It is a "foreign exchange earning" project.
People pick up the fruit box.
Open it up.
It's more than a dozen pieces of money, as well as coins. The workmanship is very exquisite. It can't be imitated by a printer."You see, these are the currencies that we are going to issue - Asian dollar. Technically, we are not inferior to any mainstream currency in the world. So is anti-counterfeiting. The whole Asian dollar has 18 anti-counterfeiting identification areas. First of all, please look at the above paragraph in Burmese, the seventh letter in it. Look into the sun, you will see Zero introduced all the 18 anti-counterfeiting signs.
People were also shocked.
This is the technology of coinage.
I'm not stupid at all. At least I've seen a little bit of the world. It's too difficult to forge this kind of quality currency technically. For them, the absolute "black technology" is higher than the kyat.
Although they don't have such a huge face value, what's the matter? In their eyes, the larger the face value, the less valuable the currency is. All the valuable currencies are small denominations, such as the US dollar, RMB, euro and Japanese yen in their hands. Let alone the Myanmar dollar, NIMA, so many zeros are useless. They have to take a pile of them when they go out.
Then zero has explained the situation of other banknotes and coins.
Finally, he said, "take back the money and give it to you. I'll also give you a suggestion. This is the first batch of Yayuan. The number is less than 1000. Maybe soon, every set will be valuable." The number of the top 500 of Tang Qing did not come out, there are many other people need to send it.
I heard that.
Many people disdain it.
But more people have begun to waver. Looking at the money in their hands, they may not think that ten years later, every set of Yayuan here will be able to exchange for a house of more than 100 square meters in a ring of the capital, which has become a real luxury.
In silence.
Then zero threw out a big bomb.
"I announce that from now on:
first, all the soldiers, civil servants and construction workers in the territory will be paid in Asian dollars. We will apply for salary cards in the Bank of Myanmar for each of them, including the village heads here.
Second, all our "official" material purchases will use Asian dollar.
Third, all taxes in the territory are collected according to the Asian dollar. If not, please go to the Bank of Myanmar to exchange them.
Fourth, any business shall not refuse to accept or refuse to accept Asia dollar in disguised form, and the violator shall be disqualified from doing business.
Fifth, within one week, all other currencies will be converted into Asian dollar at a premium of 10% of the international exchange rate, and the exchange rate will return to normal one week later.
Sixth, all public goods will be charged only Asian dollars after one week.
”
finish.
Zero looked at the people who were a little flustered below, and said: "don't worry, we don't force you to change money into Asian dollars, but this is the trend of the times. I hope you can do a good job of people in your own village. I don't ask you to change all the money, but don't make trouble for me. Otherwise, I have to change people to be the village head or to replace your trade qualification."
They all laughed bitterly.
You're not compulsory. What's compulsory? Life and commodity circulation are all restricted. We have to eat and buy. We can't use your Yayuan.
"Well, now read out the next order. As the company law has been promulgated, from now on, the full name of the Bank of Myanmar is" Bank of Myanmar group ". All our current fixed assets will be assigned to a total of 27 companies that we absolutely control, and all these companies will be assigned to the Bank of Myanmar group as the currency issuance guarantee of the Asian dollar." Zero went on.
After hearing this, people here are basically free of nonsense. All assets in the territory are transferred to this bank, which is basically equivalent to using all assets in the territory as collateral to issue Asian dollar. This is not unacceptable.
It's better than the pure reliance on credit that they thought before. They thought that printing money was nothing, but now they seem to have been prepared.
What to do.
I can't resist. I have to obey.
PS: Chapter one.
