Chapter 843: Inflation
"How do you speak?" Zhang Mouzhi was not happy, and he didn't have a good breath, "Turn your elbows out!" ”
"Dad, I'm telling the truth." Zhang Yuanxi said, "Besides, my current identity is the secretary general of the Yinjiang Urban Planning and Development Bureau. ”
"Go, don't talk to Lao Tzu." Zhang Mouzhi didn't want to say more to Zhang Yuanxi, so he turned to Zhong Yi and said, "Ziren, there is really no room for negotiation about the advance?" ”
Zhong Yi didn't answer and asked: "Dad, then let me ask you, are you optimistic about the future development space of Yinjiang?" ”
"No, of course not." Zhang Mouzhi shook his head and said, "I have read the future development plan you wrote about Yinjiang, and I deeply agree with this, and I fully agree with your judgment, with the intensification of the blockade of China by Little Japan, all kinds of modern industrial products will become extremely scarce, so the future of Yinjiang is worth looking forward to!" ”
"Isn't that the end of it?" Zhong Yi said, "Then what else do you have to worry about?" ”
Zhang Mouzhi said with a bitter face: "It's not, isn't it still a risk?" ”
After a pause, Zhang Mouzhi continued: "What if, I'm just saying just in case, if you are transferred out, and the person who replaced you as mayor does not admit it, or changes your development plan, what will you do?" ”
"Dad, so you're worried about this." Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier." ”
"Isn't it different to say it early and late?" Zhang Mouzhi frowned and said, "This possibility still exists after all. ”
Zhong Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "Dad, let me tell you something, after I first arrived in Yinjiang, I swept away the underworld forces in Yinjiang with a thunderous force, and destroyed an opium smuggling channel that was sent from Shanghai through Yinjiang to the hinterland of the Three War Zones. ”
"Opium smuggling?" Zhang Mouzhi said awe-inspiringly, "The power of these people is not small! ”
As a bigwig in the business circles of the Republic of China, Zhang Mouzhi certainly knows how powerful the opium merchants are.
"That's nature." Zhong Yi said, "The energy of these people is indeed very great, and they directly asked Yu Fangqing, the president of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, to bring a message to President Chang, and even President Chang agreed to remove my mayor." ”
"And this?" Zhang Mouzhi's expression froze, and he said, "How did you settle down later?" ”
"How?" Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said, "Dad, and the second brother, they are all family, I won't lie to you, I'll tell you the truth, I have formed an alliance of interests with the ministers of the United States, Britain and France in Yinjiang, and the ambassador of the United States, Jensen, personally came forward to put pressure on President Chang, and this matter will be over!" ”
Zhang Mouzhi and Zhang Yuanxi's father and son were dumbfounded, and the shock in Zhang Mou's heart was even worse, he really didn't expect that his little son-in-law would have a foreign background.
But Zhang Mouzhi still felt a little incredible, and said, "Ziren, is this true?" ”
Zhong Yi knew that if he didn't reveal some dry information to him, he wouldn't believe it easily.
At that moment, Zhong Yi said in a low voice: "Dad, let's put it this way, there is no free lunch in the world, and the reason why the ambassador of the United States and the minister of the United States in Yinjiang are willing to come forward for me is because they can get huge benefits from Yinjiang, and this benefit is only given by me Zhong Yi, so they must keep me as the mayor." ”
"Got it!" Hearing this, Zhang Mouzhi was finally completely relieved, and said, "I will register the company tomorrow, and then move all the personnel and equipment of the Shanghai branch as soon as possible, at most half a month, oh no, at most a week, a week later, start this landfill, and strive to complete the three links within three months!" ”
At this time, Zhang Yuanxi suddenly said: "Ziren, there is still a problem. ”
Zhong Yi's brows furrowed, thinking that there were really a lot of problems between the father and son.
However, Zhong Yi still asked patiently: "Second brother, if there is any problem, you can just say it." ”
"Ziren, don't be impatient." Zhang Yuanxi shook his head, and then said, "This question of mine is very important, and it is even directly related to the survival of your entire development plan!" ”
"Really?" Zhong Yi's face also became solemn, and he said, "What's the problem?" ”
"Inflation!" Zhang Yuanxi said, "Ziren, have you ever considered the issue of inflation?" ”
Zhang Mouzhi's face next to him also collapsed instantly, he really ignored this problem before.
In the past two years, especially in the second half of this year, due to the extreme financial distress of the national government, the printing of fiat currency has begun to become more and more unscrupulous, which has triggered serious inflation.
Yinjiang is not bad, because Chongqing is the capital of the Nationalist Government, a large number of government agencies have gathered, and these government agencies have hired a large number of civil servants, plus a large number of wealthy businessmen and dignitaries have fled to Chongqing from all over the country, thus bringing a large amount of fiat currency to Chongqing, which has caused unprecedentedly serious inflation.
Now, inflation in Chongqing has reached a terrifying 1,000 percent!
In other words, the purchasing power of one hundred fiat currency in Chongqing is only equivalent to the original ten fiat currency!
Here, a serious problem is derived, that is, if the factory in Yinjiang Industrial Zone still uses fiat currency to buy raw materials and settle with customers in the future, in the end, it will be found that the business is indeed very prosperous, but it has never made any money, and even lost the capital.
Why is that? Because the national government only took a few blank pieces of paper and bought all the products they produced.
The Nationalist Government, on the other hand, only needs to turn on the money printing machine to take all the industrial products produced in the Yinjiang Industrial Park for itself without much effort.
The reason why Minister Kong and Minister Song have not moved so far is probably because of this wishful thinking.
"Inflation? It turned out that the second brother was worried about this. The corners of Zhong Yi's mouth hooked slightly, and said, "Regarding this, I have actually thought about it a long time ago, but I haven't brought it up yet." ”
"Really?" Zhang Yuanxi said, "I don't know what Ziren is planning?" ”
"It's actually very simple to say, restore the use of silver dollars and copper coins, and pegged to the dollar exchange rate, one dollar for four silver dollars, and one silver dollar for one thousand copper coins." Zhong Yi said lightly.
What Zhong Yi said was that the clouds were light and light, but the Zhang family's father and son changed greatly when they heard it.
Zhang Mouzhi said even more urgently: "Ziren, is it appropriate for you to do this?" ”
Zhang Yuanxi also said: "Although in Sichuan Province, Shanxi Province and Yunnan Province, silver dollars are still in circulation, but Yinjiang is different after all, this is the base camp of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium. ”
Zhong Yi said indifferently: "Dad, and the second brother, don't worry, I don't need to come forward in this matter." ”
Zhang Mouzhi and Zhang Yuanxi were immediately speechless, yes, if this matter is brought forward by foreigners, then there will be no problem, after all, our principal Chang is obedient to foreigners.
