This game is too real.
Chapter 533 Debt is a knife
Chapter 533 Debt is a knife
"how is this possible?!"
Dawn City, the meeting room of the Alliance Interior Building.
President Malvern, who was sitting in front of the conference table, looked at the box full of black and white chips on the table, his eyes were almost protruding.
As soon as the celebration was over, he couldn't wait to find the manager of the alliance, planning to negotiate with him the principal and interest of tens of millions of chips generated by the 5.1 million debt.
As the president of the Boulder City Bank, every loan of the alliance comes from him. He has made his most astute accountants keep an eye on every payment of the alliance, even Liszt, No one among Ditwig's "insiders" who have close contacts with the alliance knows the "financial situation" of the alliance better than him.
They will never be able to repay the principal and interest of the 1000 million chips at the end of the year!
How can an organization relying on debt to develop has a surplus of cash?Not to mention the huge trade deficit, the hillbillies in the northern suburbs have been operating at a loss for a whole year!
In fact, it was a crappy house rotted by debts and deficits, and they had overdrawn too much of their future to win the war with the Legion.Melvin was sure of this, so he sat opposite Chu Guang with confidence.
At present, shrinking the balance sheet and repaying debts is almost the only way out for the alliance. If they do not reduce the debt scale to a reasonable range, then wait for bankruptcy!
Malvern didn't think these brawny guys knew much about economics, but he didn't want to see the house that had been built so hard go down like this.
He will help the league pay back the money.
But the premise is that the alliance has to agree to the additional conditions he proposed!
For example, the free exchange of silver coins and chips can be opened, so that part of the bubble of the local currency can be squeezed out of the foreign currency.
It would be even better if the exchange of Cr can be further opened up!
If Chu Guang agreed to exchange the chips from silver coins to Cr to pay off the debt, Malvern would even be willing to forgive half of the alliance's debt in exchange!
Those cows and horses are of course working hard for themselves, but in the final analysis, isn't it for the enjoyment of these gentlemen?
Going to Ideal City is undoubtedly the ultimate enjoyment!
However, what he never expected was that the alliance would pay back the loan that was absolutely impossible to repay? !
Even the principal and interest that needs to be repaid next year are ready...
"Would you like to count it?" Looking at the stunned Malvin, Chu Guang smiled slightly and said, "I heard that the chips are produced by something like a black box, so there should be no possibility of counterfeiting, right?"
"Cough...that kind of thing, of course, I believe you will never do it, but..." Melvin couldn't help looking at Chu Guang, "I want to know how this bargaining chip came about."
Seeing Malvin's suspicious expression, Chu Guang smiled and said frankly.
"That's a reasonable request. If someone in the league suddenly comes up with a large amount of cash, we will also ask him to explain how the money came from."
Malvin nodded.
"Can you tell me then?"
Chu Guang didn't hide anything, and simply said frankly.
"Your shareholders lent it to me."
Hearing this brazen answer, Malvin stared at Lao Yuan, and said angrily, no longer caring about being elegant and decent.
"How can you borrow new debts to pay off old debts!"
Chu Guang said with a smile.
"Our loan agreement only stipulates that we cannot use the debt issued by Boulder City Bank to repay the loan of Boulder City Bank. It does not stipulate that we cannot raise funds through other issuance channels to repay existing loans."
"But this won't solve any problems at all!" Melvin said angrily, "Do you know what you are doing? Your debts will grow larger and larger, and eventually the debts will overwhelm you, not just ours. Money, everyone's money will be wasted together!"
He finally began to realize the problem of risk.
But what makes him angry is not that the alliance is irresponsibly increasing its own risks, but that he clearly has a better solution here!
However, the man in front of him chose the worst one out of his own accord!
"We can't help it," Chu Guang slowed down his tone as he watched Malvern's blood pressure rise, and said comfortingly, "Your spending power is too weak, and we also want to sell some good things to you, but you Residents can't afford it at all. And it's really hard to make up the deficit just by selling some low-value-added basic resources to your factories... Everyone knows with a little common sense, how can sand be more expensive than cement? And what you produce is almost More than 90.00% of the cement is sold to us, how can we just sell sand to fill this hole?"
Malvin said angrily.
"Then you... can't use this method! What do you call repaying old debts with new debts! This is the most irresponsible way!"
The reason why he lent money to the alliance was that he believed that the alliance could repay the money, but now the alliance's actions have made him wonder whether the alliance intends to repay the money!
"But we have complied with everything we agreed upon," Chu Guang reminded him calmly, looking at Malvin with a smile, "At the beginning you asked us to import more of your products and reduce the trade deficit between us. But it was done."
And it's done so thoroughly.
The alliance that received a loan of 2 million chips not only obediently turned its surplus into a deficit, but even shot itself in the foot, raising its labor costs and making Boulder City's cheap consumer goods more competitive in the alliance's market. come stronger.
Malvin stared at Chu Guang with a gloomy gaze.
He really couldn't accuse the alliance of breaking promises. The alliance even put the repayment of the principal and interest next year in front of him, so the most important word he used from the beginning to the end was just irresponsible.
There is no doubt that this is immoral.
Even 1 reasons can't change one thing. The alliance is constantly pouring out the inflation caused by its own over-issued currency.
"What about the year after? What about the year after? Ten years later?"
Chu Guang smiled lightly and said.
"At that time, the Alliance may already have ten or twenty survivor settlements. Will we send you this little money?"
Malvin's brows relaxed a little, but they were still tightly knit.
The size of the company and dividends are two different things. It doesn't mean that the bigger the company, the more money investors will get. Until now, Chu Guang still hasn't let go of the most fundamental issue——
"Are you worried about the risk of the chips?" Chu Guang keenly saw the concern in his eyes, and lightly pointed it out.
"Yes," Melvin admitted without any concealment, "but I'm worried that if you continue to play like this, the bubble may burst before the moment of cashing in. Now I understand your trick, we are using our own credit, to endorse your debts."
"It's too outlandish to say so," Chu Guang coughed lightly, and continued in a gentle tone, "Well, I have a proposal that can solve your problem of 'earning too much local currency'."
Melvin's hands unconsciously held the armrests of the chair, and his eyes were fixed on Chu Guang who was sitting opposite.
"What proposal?"
"We're going to issue something called a bond, which you can understand as monetizing the debt to a certain extent."
As soon as he heard about the debt, Malvin got up and was about to leave.However, Chu Guang's next sentence made him sit back on the buttocks that had just left the cushion.
"Bonds paid in chips ... in fact, we've already issued them."
"Why don't you tell me—" Malvin's eyes narrowed suddenly, he looked at the chips on the table, and then at Chu Guang, his eyes gradually became enlightened, "So that's how you Get the principal and interest."
Chu Guang smiled lightly.
"It's actually reasonable, isn't it? Sand can't be more expensive than cement, but roads, railways, houses, and bridges are more expensive than cement. You don't need to repair those things anymore, but we just need them, so you take the local currency you earn back. Just go buy the bonds we issued."
Malvin narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Guang.
The league did offer him a solution to the problem, which was to put the excess local currency in a pool that was denominated in the local currency and would never depreciate.
However, this still does not solve any fundamental problems.
Seeing that Melvin was not moved, Chu Guang sighed in his heart. This guy is indeed a rare sensible person among the nobles in the inner city.
Seeing that he was about to turn a corner, others wanted to step on the gas pedal to the bottom, but he realized that he had to step on the brakes to see the road.
In terms of ability, neither Old Charlie nor Minister Sun Ruicai were his opponents.If after the departmental meeting, the alliance really takes out the card of shrinking the balance sheet, then the alliance will lose from the beginning.
But it's not their fault either.
People from humble backgrounds are natural radicals. Most of them support vigorous changes, but they are often limited by their own limitations and use old methods summed up from past experience, so they become conservatives in action.Either you have some foresight, realize that what you did before doesn't work, take a path you didn't think about, and end up shocking everyone.
Fortunately, Chu Guang comes from a civilized society. There are many professional and non-professional players pouring water on the forum. They discuss how to make the league better every day.
Things like "limitations" won't disappear because of loud voice and talking too much, but they can be reduced in communication and communication.
Game guides are often born in this way.
"I promise that the exchange of chips and silver coins will be gradually released in the future. Of course, the exchange of silver coins and Cr is also open to you." Looking at Malvern who was thinking in his heart, Chu Guang further threw out the biggest bait.
Chu Guang could feel that when he uttered these words, Mervin held his breath for a moment, and a trace of heat clearly flickered in his calm eyes.
"What I want is not just a promise," Malvin stared at Chu Guang intently, "If you say you keep your word, then write it down on paper."
"no problem."
Chu Guang nodded happily.
Seeing his statement so easily, Malvin couldn't help being taken aback, thinking it was a fraud, and quickly added something later.
"Your name must be signed on this paper!"
"Haha, that's for sure! Such an important agreement, of course I have to sign my name."
Chu Guang laughed happily, looked at Malvin who was completely relaxed, and continued.
"Five years, within five years, we will fulfill all our promises! It just so happens that the bonds we issue have a minimum repayment period of five years. In this way, you can put the bubbles in this bucket called bonds during these five years. After five years, take them out one at a time and exchange them for silver coins, or simply exchange them for Cr... What's the idea?"
Even though he consciously concealed his joy, Malvin couldn't help but smile.
He got up from the conference table, walked towards Chu Guang who also stood up, held his hand with a stretched brow, and shook it vigorously.
"This idea is great! As long as I see the specific documents, I will immediately help you issue that bond... Thank you for being so considerate for us!"
Although a fairly satisfactory result was achieved, Malvern still kept an eye on it.
That is to imply to Chu Guang that he will not agree to Chu Guang's help in issuing chips-denominated bonds until he sees that verbal promise become a legally binding document.
If the alliance really intends to become bigger and stronger, it will not make fun of its own laws.
Chu Guangxin held his hand and nodded with a smile.
"You're welcome, helping you solve the risks is also helping us."
"What we are pursuing has always been a win-win situation!"
……
Chu Guang didn't joke with Malvin, everything he said was the truth.
The league really doesn't want Boulder's bubble to burst so quickly.
Even if all the bubbles will burst in the end, it will be after all his plans are completed, and the impact on the alliance will be minimized!
Therefore, Chu Guang paid enough attention to Malvern.
On the same day, he drafted a plan on "free exchange of chips and silver coins", and signed his name on it generously.
As a side agreement, Boulder City Bank will serve as one of the alliance's bond distribution channels to help the alliance distribute bonds denominated in chips.
Moreover, the Bank of Boulder City will guarantee that the alliance's bond trading system can be successfully launched in Boulder City!
In this way, the nobles in the inner city can not only invest in the chip-denominated bonds issued by the alliance more conveniently, but also freely sell the bonds on the trading platform.
Complete transactions with just a tap of your finger!
This seems to have become a highly liquid financial product!
People who buy bonds don't have to worry about the five-year investment return period being too long, they just need to sell the bonds they have when they need money.
Now that there are so many wealthy people in Boulder City, there will always be bosses who have too much spare money to spend, and are interested in the spread of those few points!
As the agency issuer of this "financial management product", Boulder City Bank can naturally benefit from it, and does not have to take any risks like Lister.
On the same day, Melvin returned to Boulder City excitedly with her precious daughter and a group of bodyguards, bringing back the great news.
He solved the problem that the banks of the Boulder City have not solved in the past--
Convert chips to Cr on a large scale!
"Send a written letter to our shareholders! Tell them that the general meeting of shareholders will be held at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning, and it will still be in the same place...not to discuss dividends, but something more important than dividends! Tell them that we are about to witness history!"
On the ruins only a few streets away from Boulder City, Malvin called his secretary, his face flushed with excitement as he spoke.
He can't wait to tell his shareholders the good news!
Alisa, who was holding the doll, looked at her father worriedly, with a hint of sadness floating in her eyes.
She always read a little bit of news from the newspaper after everything happened.
And his father almost never talked to her about any work matters, so she didn't know what agreement the Alliance and Boulder City had reached.
But Alisa always has a bad feeling...
Will it really go so smoothly?
……
It wasn't just Alisa who was completely out of the way who had similar concerns, but also a truly prestigious person like Wei Jia, the big boss who ran the largest firm in Boulder City.
And different from the little girl's blind worry, Wei Jia's worry is not a castle in the air, but comes from the account books generated by the actual operation of the business!
And his worries are far more specific than the little daughter of the president who can't see anything.
Most of the products exported from the factories in Boulder City to the Alliance, or the things that the Alliance voluntarily imports from Boulder City, are settled with chips.
This is not only the requirement of Boulder City, but also the basic appeal that best meets the interests of most people here.
After all, no one wants to believe in a currency that is super-issued at will and has no anchor.
But now, Wei Jia finds out whether to laugh or cry, he would rather the alliance company settle the payment with silver coins, and keep the silver coins in the alliance account, even if he does not have the channel to directly exchange the silver coins into chips.
There is no other reason.
Chip inflation is too fast!
The raw materials that can be bought with 1 chip this month will become 2 chips next month. The supplier is not very fond of him who pays with chips, and even asks him to go to the alliance train station to pick up the goods. , because the road from Alliance to Boulder City is too difficult.
So what if the alliance officially has a 1:2 listing exchange rate?
It is impossible for 99% of people to exchange 1 chip for 2 silver coins!
If you want to exchange currency, you have to go to the black market, or buy something from the alliance market that you don't know when it will be sold, and transport it to Boulder City to slowly dump it.
Wei Jia himself didn't expect that he, a person who is mainly in the food business, would store a pile of copper mines bought with silver coins in the warehouse...
"Aron, can you believe it? I sometimes envy my competitors."
On the third day after the alliance celebration ended, and also the second day after the Boulder City Bank's shareholder meeting, Wei Jia, who was sitting in the office, was staring at the ledger in her hand, pressing her eyebrows with a headache.
Aaron was his secretary and one of his few confidantes.
It was this guy who contacted Alec, the captain of the factory's security team, who had surrounded the city hall and planned everything behind the scenes.
Hearing the boss's voice, Aaron froze slightly, and asked in a low voice.
"You mean... Monsieur Dittwey?"
Wei Jia sighed and nodded.
"Ah."
Didiwei nutrition cream.
There was a time when Didiwei Nutrient Cream took advantage of the cheap labor and raw material costs in the northern suburbs and squeezed out the market of Weijia Trading Company in Boulder City, so he once regarded Ditway as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.
But fortunately, that idiot Dittwig was obviously not as smart as Liszt, or he was a little more thoughtful in doing things.If it wasn't for the alliance to promote him to a height he shouldn't have, that guy would be a small business person at most in his life.
Wei Jia knew very well that the shareholders behind him had actually given that guy a chance, but that guy didn't show face. He never thought of getting a black card or using a part of the profits to manage it.So I just spent a little time to clean him out of Boulder City.
But now Wei Jia is a little envious of that guy.
I heard that the Didiwei food processing factory has been completely transformed, and it has started to process feed and agricultural products and fertilizers, and it has flourished in the agricultural market of Luoxia Province.
Perhaps this is the so-called industrial upgrading?
On the contrary, although the factory under his chamber of commerce is also improving the production line, the direction of improvement is completely different.
For example, a good taste food processing factory.
In order for the survivors of Boulder City to consume the nutritional cream, he had to reduce the cost of the nutritional cream. Only in this way can the survivors of Boulder City who have low wages also be able to consume it.The other part is of better quality and sold to the alliance. Although the residents of the alliance have long since stopped eating that food, Frostspear Ranch will buy some and mix it with feed for cattle, sheep and pigs.
Ordinary people do not have foreign exchange quotas, but ranches engaged in production activities have foreign exchange quotas. As long as the purpose is declared through formal channels, the payment can be settled with chips.
However, even so, the problem of inflation is too serious. Even if the customer delays payment by only one week, the materials that can be purchased with the payment will be reduced a little.It doesn't matter if you can earn more next month, but the problem is that the growth rate of profits has been increasingly unable to keep up with inflation.
He really didn't know, where did so much money come out in the market? !
He eagerly urged customers to settle the payment, but he had no choice but to please those customers, because the export alliance has almost become the only hope for Weijia Commercial Bank to maintain profits, and it is almost impossible to count on those poor ghosts in the outer city to consume his products. It has become an impossible thing... Those malnourished bastards are mixing sawdust into the nutrition cream themselves!
Wei Jia could feel that an invisible hand was constantly taking away his profits, but what troubled him was that he didn't know what to do?
Blame the alliance for spending too much money?
That's his number one client!
If the alliance's feed processing factories and ranches stopped importing his nutritional cream from tomorrow, he would have to shut down the entire production line of nutritional cream!
or……
Let's settle the payment with silver coins next month.
This is an impossible solution.
Although it can solve part of the production problem, what is reflected in the book profit line is a string of silver coins that cannot be taken away. Thinking of the official exchange rate of 1:2, his shareholders will definitely lose face.
Just when Wei Jia was having a headache with a pile of accounts receivable on the ledger, the phone rang suddenly.
Not daring to be negligent, Wei Jia knew very well who the person who could call her was, so she answered the phone immediately.
"Hey?"
"it's me."
Hearing Sid's voice, Wei Jia's face was immediately filled with a smile.
"Mr. Sheed, what has brought you here . . . Do you have any orders?"
Sid didn't talk nonsense with him, and said succinctly.
"I have 5 million bonds here, the price is favorable, 4.9 million is sold, you can buy it on the account of a commercial firm."
Wei Jia, who was originally worried about the tight cash flow, felt her heart skip a beat when she heard this, and blurted out.
"...[-] million chips?! Where can I find so much money?"
Realizing that his tone might be disrespectful, Wei Jia quickly lowered his posture, bent over the phone, and said with a bitter face.
"...Dear Mr. Sid, I don't mean to offend, but the operation of the chamber of commerce needs funds to buy raw materials. We can indeed use part of the money to buy bonds...but we have to set aside the part for production and operation."
The point is that a few days ago, he had already bought [-] million for Sid's sake, and he really couldn't get another [-] million in chips!
Sid was also annoyed.
He never imagined how his good brother Melvin would suddenly stab him.
He still held a debt of [-] million yuan in his hands, and he planned to sell it slowly, but the Bank of Boulder City also focused on the business of selling alliance bonds.
How does this make him pay the difference?
When the price gap is not too big, any fool will know to go to Malvern to buy it!
But Sid couldn't say anything.
After all, he himself is one of the shareholders of Boulder City Bank.
Malvern's original intention was also to allow everyone to earn more, and he also had a share of the money earned by Boulder City Bank.
Seeing that Wei Jia didn't readily agree, Sid said patiently although he was unhappy.
"You just lend me the money first. Don't worry about the liquidity. Boulder City Bank has launched a bond trading platform, and you can trade directly on it. You can cash out slowly in the secondary market. If it doesn't work, just Pay with those bonds!"
Wei Jia tremblingly did not dare to ask Sid why he didn't go to the secondary market to reduce his holdings, because he knew very well in his heart that those nobles would definitely not go to the secondary market to pick up rotten vegetables and leaves to eat.
In the end, he would either have to go to the so-called bond trading platform and play foolishly with other bullies, or he could only watch as the money was locked in the account and could not be moved.
He no longer cares whether the alliance pays interest or not.
Without liquidity, if he doesn't want to go bankrupt, he can only find a way to sell those bonds, or sell the assets of the business...
"Hurry up, buy it or not, you don't want to do me and find someone else." Sid who said this sentence was already a little impatient.
Does this guy think his wings are stiff?
In the final analysis, Weijia Trading Co. was able to earn so many bargaining chips, which was also due to his own credit and ability. This bastard really thought that he could make money with his little business acumen.
Don't talk about anything else.
If he hadn't instructed the research institutions in the inner city to re-establish the dietary standards for nutrient paste, why would the batch of mud from Weijia Trading Company enter the troughs of the pigs in the outer city?
Hearing the impatience in Sid's tone, Vija broke out in a cold sweat and said hastily.
"Buy! I buy!"
What he was most afraid of was Sid's saying that he would find someone else to do it.
Because he also knew in his heart that what he was doing was really not a technical job, and the factories were basically opened in the industrial area of Boulder City.Sid had to weigh Liszt's decision, and it was a matter of minutes to decide him, even if everyone had a black card.
"I wish I had promised not to." Seeing that his dog had softened, Sid snorted mockingly and hung up the phone.
He didn't care how Weijia got the money.
If he knew how to run a business, what was he doing with that dog?
Already killed and eaten meat.
After putting down the phone in his hand, Wei Jia leaned limply on the chair, feeling as if all the strength in his body had been drained.
Aaron looked at him worriedly.
"……boss?"
Wei Jia frowned.
"At least...we have to get over the difficulties in front of us."
Aaron was silent for a while, then said silently.
"But the nutrient cream...can no longer be mixed with water."
"Are you a pig? When will you earn [-] million with that stuff?" Wei Jia cursed angrily, stood up from her chair, and walked to the window.
He originally wanted to take a breath, but from the reflection on the window, he vaguely saw Ditwig's stupid face looking at him with a half-smile.
Wei Jia felt angry for a while, and couldn't vent her anger on the window, so she lit a cigarette and began to puff out the window.
Aaron stared at the back of the boss, and said in silence for a while.
"...A businessman from the north asked us if we had any spare production lines willing to sell. They were very interested in our mixers, filters, and synthesis furnaces, and the prices they offered were not bad."
Those equipments were the honeymoon period of trade between the Alliance and Boulder City. In order to expand production, they borrowed money from the Bank of Boulder City to buy them.
Boulder City Bank not only lends money to the alliance, but also lends money to their factories, otherwise they would not be able to develop so fast.
The loan for part of the equipment has already been paid off. Selling that part of the equipment can at least solve part of the problem, and we can find a solution for the remaining funds.
Wei Jia looked back at him.
"Are they going to make nutrient cream?"
Aaron shook his head.
"No...they want to do feed processing. Recently, the price of corn in the alliance has plummeted, and many factories have switched to doing this. In fact, I think that the nutritional cream has not much profit. Why don't we also switch to making feed."
Vija sighed.
"not that simple."
As long as he is still setting up a factory in Boulder City and intends to do business in the market where silver coins are priced, he will be unable to avoid the sickle anyway.
The first is tariffs, and the second is exchange rates.It costs one knife to import raw materials, and another knife to export finished products.
This has nothing to do with what is produced, unless they can produce something that the alliance can't produce at all, otherwise this is unsolvable.
At least, the boss of a business firm in his area can't solve it, unless Boulder City unites from top to bottom to put pressure on the alliance.
Wei Jia suddenly had an illusion.
It wasn't an invisible hand that was taking his profits.
Instead, countless invisible hands formed an invisible cage, ruthlessly enclosing everyone in the city.
That terrible thought flashed away, followed by a chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
The coldness on the back of the neck made Weijia shiver unconsciously, took two hard puffs on the cigarette butt in her mouth, and threw the unfinished cigarette out of the window cursingly.
"Damn, it's really unlucky."
Aaron watched him silently.
"If you don't sell the equipment, you can only borrow money from the Boulder City Bank."
"Sell! Why don't you sell it? What's the use of producing so much garbage? No one buys it!" Wei Jia took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth. He took a sharp puff, and suddenly had an idea, and looked at Aaron and said immediately , "Wait, there is! The alliance issued the bond, and we will issue it too!"
Aaron froze for a moment and hesitated.
"Us? But... who will buy it?"
Who would buy a bond issued by a factory?
You can't ask Mr. Sid to buy it back...
That is looking for death.
"Isn't it time to pay wages?" Wei Jia chuckled and said complacently, "Hurry up and go to the accountant and ask them to make IOUs—oh no, bonds, and distribute them to those poor ghosts. Wait for a while When the days get better, I will even make up for them with interest!"
Aaron stared at the boss intently.
"But... can this work?"
The more than 4000 employees of Weijia Commercial Bank have an average daily salary of 4 chips. Even if each person erases the salary and bonus of 120 chips, they can only make up 48 chips.
None of this counts.
At least three zeros off, right? !
"I can't help it either. If I can squeeze out a little bit, at least I have to add up the money for the purchase. Those people outside only want cash, and we have to pay for the important side first."
Wei Jia also had his reasons. After a pause, he said slowly, "As for Mr. Sid's [-] million...that's another account. We'll just ask the president for a loan."
First borrow 5 million chips of bonds from Mr. Sid as collateral, and borrow 5 million from Boulder City Bank in the name of production, but in fact the 5 million is not used to expand production.He will pay 4.9 million of them to Mr. Sid, so that Weijia Commercial Bank will still have a floating profit of 1000 million in its account.
This floating profit is real cash, and the interest generated by the mortgaged bonds is enough to pay the interest on the bank loan in Boulder City.
Although it sounds like a muddled account, Wei Jia believed that President Malvern was a generalist, so it was impossible not to lend him the money.
You Boulder City Bank sells the bonds on your own agency, so you don’t even recognize it yourself?
Actually think about it.
No money?
Is it over if you borrow it?
If you borrow, I will borrow, and if you die, I will die even worse.
Wei Jia, who had figured everything out, suddenly felt relaxed, happy physically and mentally, and had a clear idea. Not only did she not worry, but she laughed out loud.
Of course the equipment has to be sold, it is his own equipment, and how to dispose of it is his freedom.
Now that there are so many ways to make money, you can make a fortune with just a few clicks of your finger, and only fools do the most thankless and stupid jobs.
Is it more uncomfortable to sell the factory and become a "market dealer"?
Moreover, the lighter the asset, the faster it runs.
The reason why Sid can't handle Liszt is because that chicken thief profiteer never refuses to move the factory into the city?
But Wei Jia is a smart person after all. Seeing Aaron walking out of the door, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately stopped him.
"Wait a moment."
Aaron stopped in his tracks.
"Do you have any other orders?"
Wei Jia threw the cigarette butt out of the window, walked to Aaron with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder.
"I almost forgot to say that your salary will be paid as usual, including the salary of your colleagues, and the salary of the security team... Don't worry, follow me, I will not let those who are really capable suffer."
Aron nodded.
He never asked the boss about it.
After all, isn't it a matter of course?
……
Night finally fell, and the bell for shift change finally rang.
Handing over the work at hand to the half-grown children, the workers on the day shift queued up to Alec to collect last month's wages.
At first, Sberg was still curious. Today, the moon came out from the west, and the security captain Alec personally went to the battle to distribute money to everyone, and he also brought a group of villains who didn't look like good people.It wasn't until he got an IOU from Alec that he came back to his senses, good guy, these profiteers are really thieves!
Everyone was tired and had no energy. Some people wanted to complain, but no one was willing to stand up. Some people accepted the IOUs readily, probably out of trust in the boss.
Sberg also honestly accepted the IOUs called bonds, comforting himself in his heart that the family has a big business, so they won't really run away.But these days are really getting weirder and weirder. If you use IOUs to pay wages today, what will you use next month?
IOUs for IOUs?
A group of shabby poor ghosts walked out of the factory.
Not far away, Kent suddenly squatted down quickly. Just when Sberg thought he had picked up the money, he saw him excitedly holding up a cigarette butt and stuffing it into his pocket.
"Lucky! Two cigarette butts!"
The short man walking beside Kent looked enviously at the cigarette butt in his hand, sipped it and said.
"I bet it fell out of Mr. Wei Jia's office, only that grown-up would waste it like that!"
It's really not far from the lord's office.
Sberg sighed and muttered.
"What's the luck...it's getting colder and colder, it's probably going to snow."
Kent gave him an impatient look.
"so what?"
"So...we have to wear thicker clothes."
"Then go and wear it! You don't even know how to wear clothes!" Kent stared, with a cigarette butt in his mouth, and his fierce face looked like Alec, the security chief, who had been starved for days.
"Yes……"
Not wanting to spoil his good mood, Sberg consciously shrank aside, but his face was full of sadness.Half of it is due to the upcoming cold weather, and the other half is due to the increasingly cold environment.
The boss paid the salary.
But it was an IOU.
He didn't know if this thing could be exchanged for dinner, and he didn't know if the smart Master Wei Jia would still recognize the loan if he left the job.
And just two days ago, the respected Mr. House announced another victory for Boulder City on the radio. The wise Governor of Malvern forced the iron lump in the northern suburbs to make concessions and allowed Boulder City to purchase the bonds of the alliance.
This time, Mr. House took a longer time to explain the doorways, mercifully revealing the secrets to poor ghosts who have neither culture nor knowledge, but Sberger was not at all happy Can't get up.
After all, no matter how good that thing was, he couldn't afford it. Instead, he was forced by his boss to buy another thing - the operating debt of Haowei Food Processing Factory.
With such a long name, it is not a good thing to hear.
Undoubtedly, league bonds aren't a good thing either.
Sberg couldn't understand, especially his bosses who were already so rich, why should they borrow money from poor ghosts like them?
Go back to the leaky room.
He sat at the table with some resentment, lit the candle that everyone helped him find with a broken match, picked up the pen that everyone bought with money, and wrote in a tattered old newspaper.
【...Boer, who got the black card, drank too much that day, and he beat up his boss who had bullied him—— Stephen, who looked like a big rat.Then he looked at Stephen's beautiful wife and daughter in disbelief, and untied the belt around his waist... Of course, this was to slap Stephen's ass hard and make him lose face in front of his wife and daughter.Bohr is as fierce as a wild beast in the jungle. He is an awakened person with all the strength in his body. Of course he can do this, and no one can stop him. 】
There is no logic in this.
Anyway, people don't care about that stuff.
But as he was writing, Sberg still frowned, couldn't help but crossed out the second half, and re-wrote, whispering while writing.
"...but Pohl knew in his heart that beating Stephen up wouldn't solve anything, not even taking off his belt and pissing on him. Killed a big rat, and there were only more corpses and flies in the street. Boulder City is still the same Boulder City, everything is the same as before, nothing will change. Only himself, he has to get out of the huge wall in despair, and continue to lose his temper in another place."
"So he found the unemployed editor Bill, the child laborer Rudy who was humiliated by Stephen, the female worker Kathy who was humiliated by the team of the security captain and the shareholders... He told everyone that one person cannot defeat the claws of death, but If we were a group, even the Mother of Death Claws would be defeated by us. We can follow the alliance, and we unite! One man is weak, but as long as we are united, Stephen will fear us, and all Stephen will !"
"Go to the f*cking profiteer and noble grandpa!"
"The Awakened Boll: The story of a poor boy in a slum who accidentally picked up a tube of awakening elixir and knocked down a power armor in the final battle"
He wrote the title very long.
It could have been longer, but there wasn't enough room left at the beginning.
Because there was no money to print, Sberg could only copy two copies. One was sent to the alliance's "Survivor Daily" for submission, and a sincere postscript was attached, hoping to send the manuscript to the original author for review... If that author is there.
If they are willing to publish, maybe they can sponsor themselves some manuscript fees... He doesn't ask for much, just enough to buy some daily necessities.
He kept the other for himself, and he had to read it to the readers of the Raboch - the fellows of the Workers' Union.
Thinking of those outrageous and absurd plots, and the eyes of tomorrow's workers looking at him, Sberg felt a little hot on his cheeks.
But his heart is warm...

(Thanks to the leader of "Xuezuka" for the reward!!!)
(End of this chapter)
"how is this possible?!"
Dawn City, the meeting room of the Alliance Interior Building.
President Malvern, who was sitting in front of the conference table, looked at the box full of black and white chips on the table, his eyes were almost protruding.
As soon as the celebration was over, he couldn't wait to find the manager of the alliance, planning to negotiate with him the principal and interest of tens of millions of chips generated by the 5.1 million debt.
As the president of the Boulder City Bank, every loan of the alliance comes from him. He has made his most astute accountants keep an eye on every payment of the alliance, even Liszt, No one among Ditwig's "insiders" who have close contacts with the alliance knows the "financial situation" of the alliance better than him.
They will never be able to repay the principal and interest of the 1000 million chips at the end of the year!
How can an organization relying on debt to develop has a surplus of cash?Not to mention the huge trade deficit, the hillbillies in the northern suburbs have been operating at a loss for a whole year!
In fact, it was a crappy house rotted by debts and deficits, and they had overdrawn too much of their future to win the war with the Legion.Melvin was sure of this, so he sat opposite Chu Guang with confidence.
At present, shrinking the balance sheet and repaying debts is almost the only way out for the alliance. If they do not reduce the debt scale to a reasonable range, then wait for bankruptcy!
Malvern didn't think these brawny guys knew much about economics, but he didn't want to see the house that had been built so hard go down like this.
He will help the league pay back the money.
But the premise is that the alliance has to agree to the additional conditions he proposed!
For example, the free exchange of silver coins and chips can be opened, so that part of the bubble of the local currency can be squeezed out of the foreign currency.
It would be even better if the exchange of Cr can be further opened up!
If Chu Guang agreed to exchange the chips from silver coins to Cr to pay off the debt, Malvern would even be willing to forgive half of the alliance's debt in exchange!
Those cows and horses are of course working hard for themselves, but in the final analysis, isn't it for the enjoyment of these gentlemen?
Going to Ideal City is undoubtedly the ultimate enjoyment!
However, what he never expected was that the alliance would pay back the loan that was absolutely impossible to repay? !
Even the principal and interest that needs to be repaid next year are ready...
"Would you like to count it?" Looking at the stunned Malvin, Chu Guang smiled slightly and said, "I heard that the chips are produced by something like a black box, so there should be no possibility of counterfeiting, right?"
"Cough...that kind of thing, of course, I believe you will never do it, but..." Melvin couldn't help looking at Chu Guang, "I want to know how this bargaining chip came about."
Seeing Malvin's suspicious expression, Chu Guang smiled and said frankly.
"That's a reasonable request. If someone in the league suddenly comes up with a large amount of cash, we will also ask him to explain how the money came from."
Malvin nodded.
"Can you tell me then?"
Chu Guang didn't hide anything, and simply said frankly.
"Your shareholders lent it to me."
Hearing this brazen answer, Malvin stared at Lao Yuan, and said angrily, no longer caring about being elegant and decent.
"How can you borrow new debts to pay off old debts!"
Chu Guang said with a smile.
"Our loan agreement only stipulates that we cannot use the debt issued by Boulder City Bank to repay the loan of Boulder City Bank. It does not stipulate that we cannot raise funds through other issuance channels to repay existing loans."
"But this won't solve any problems at all!" Melvin said angrily, "Do you know what you are doing? Your debts will grow larger and larger, and eventually the debts will overwhelm you, not just ours. Money, everyone's money will be wasted together!"
He finally began to realize the problem of risk.
But what makes him angry is not that the alliance is irresponsibly increasing its own risks, but that he clearly has a better solution here!
However, the man in front of him chose the worst one out of his own accord!
"We can't help it," Chu Guang slowed down his tone as he watched Malvern's blood pressure rise, and said comfortingly, "Your spending power is too weak, and we also want to sell some good things to you, but you Residents can't afford it at all. And it's really hard to make up the deficit just by selling some low-value-added basic resources to your factories... Everyone knows with a little common sense, how can sand be more expensive than cement? And what you produce is almost More than 90.00% of the cement is sold to us, how can we just sell sand to fill this hole?"
Malvin said angrily.
"Then you... can't use this method! What do you call repaying old debts with new debts! This is the most irresponsible way!"
The reason why he lent money to the alliance was that he believed that the alliance could repay the money, but now the alliance's actions have made him wonder whether the alliance intends to repay the money!
"But we have complied with everything we agreed upon," Chu Guang reminded him calmly, looking at Malvin with a smile, "At the beginning you asked us to import more of your products and reduce the trade deficit between us. But it was done."
And it's done so thoroughly.
The alliance that received a loan of 2 million chips not only obediently turned its surplus into a deficit, but even shot itself in the foot, raising its labor costs and making Boulder City's cheap consumer goods more competitive in the alliance's market. come stronger.
Malvin stared at Chu Guang with a gloomy gaze.
He really couldn't accuse the alliance of breaking promises. The alliance even put the repayment of the principal and interest next year in front of him, so the most important word he used from the beginning to the end was just irresponsible.
There is no doubt that this is immoral.
Even 1 reasons can't change one thing. The alliance is constantly pouring out the inflation caused by its own over-issued currency.
"What about the year after? What about the year after? Ten years later?"
Chu Guang smiled lightly and said.
"At that time, the Alliance may already have ten or twenty survivor settlements. Will we send you this little money?"
Malvin's brows relaxed a little, but they were still tightly knit.
The size of the company and dividends are two different things. It doesn't mean that the bigger the company, the more money investors will get. Until now, Chu Guang still hasn't let go of the most fundamental issue——
"Are you worried about the risk of the chips?" Chu Guang keenly saw the concern in his eyes, and lightly pointed it out.
"Yes," Melvin admitted without any concealment, "but I'm worried that if you continue to play like this, the bubble may burst before the moment of cashing in. Now I understand your trick, we are using our own credit, to endorse your debts."
"It's too outlandish to say so," Chu Guang coughed lightly, and continued in a gentle tone, "Well, I have a proposal that can solve your problem of 'earning too much local currency'."
Melvin's hands unconsciously held the armrests of the chair, and his eyes were fixed on Chu Guang who was sitting opposite.
"What proposal?"
"We're going to issue something called a bond, which you can understand as monetizing the debt to a certain extent."
As soon as he heard about the debt, Malvin got up and was about to leave.However, Chu Guang's next sentence made him sit back on the buttocks that had just left the cushion.
"Bonds paid in chips ... in fact, we've already issued them."
"Why don't you tell me—" Malvin's eyes narrowed suddenly, he looked at the chips on the table, and then at Chu Guang, his eyes gradually became enlightened, "So that's how you Get the principal and interest."
Chu Guang smiled lightly.
"It's actually reasonable, isn't it? Sand can't be more expensive than cement, but roads, railways, houses, and bridges are more expensive than cement. You don't need to repair those things anymore, but we just need them, so you take the local currency you earn back. Just go buy the bonds we issued."
Malvin narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Guang.
The league did offer him a solution to the problem, which was to put the excess local currency in a pool that was denominated in the local currency and would never depreciate.
However, this still does not solve any fundamental problems.
Seeing that Melvin was not moved, Chu Guang sighed in his heart. This guy is indeed a rare sensible person among the nobles in the inner city.
Seeing that he was about to turn a corner, others wanted to step on the gas pedal to the bottom, but he realized that he had to step on the brakes to see the road.
In terms of ability, neither Old Charlie nor Minister Sun Ruicai were his opponents.If after the departmental meeting, the alliance really takes out the card of shrinking the balance sheet, then the alliance will lose from the beginning.
But it's not their fault either.
People from humble backgrounds are natural radicals. Most of them support vigorous changes, but they are often limited by their own limitations and use old methods summed up from past experience, so they become conservatives in action.Either you have some foresight, realize that what you did before doesn't work, take a path you didn't think about, and end up shocking everyone.
Fortunately, Chu Guang comes from a civilized society. There are many professional and non-professional players pouring water on the forum. They discuss how to make the league better every day.
Things like "limitations" won't disappear because of loud voice and talking too much, but they can be reduced in communication and communication.
Game guides are often born in this way.
"I promise that the exchange of chips and silver coins will be gradually released in the future. Of course, the exchange of silver coins and Cr is also open to you." Looking at Malvern who was thinking in his heart, Chu Guang further threw out the biggest bait.
Chu Guang could feel that when he uttered these words, Mervin held his breath for a moment, and a trace of heat clearly flickered in his calm eyes.
"What I want is not just a promise," Malvin stared at Chu Guang intently, "If you say you keep your word, then write it down on paper."
"no problem."
Chu Guang nodded happily.
Seeing his statement so easily, Malvin couldn't help being taken aback, thinking it was a fraud, and quickly added something later.
"Your name must be signed on this paper!"
"Haha, that's for sure! Such an important agreement, of course I have to sign my name."
Chu Guang laughed happily, looked at Malvin who was completely relaxed, and continued.
"Five years, within five years, we will fulfill all our promises! It just so happens that the bonds we issue have a minimum repayment period of five years. In this way, you can put the bubbles in this bucket called bonds during these five years. After five years, take them out one at a time and exchange them for silver coins, or simply exchange them for Cr... What's the idea?"
Even though he consciously concealed his joy, Malvin couldn't help but smile.
He got up from the conference table, walked towards Chu Guang who also stood up, held his hand with a stretched brow, and shook it vigorously.
"This idea is great! As long as I see the specific documents, I will immediately help you issue that bond... Thank you for being so considerate for us!"
Although a fairly satisfactory result was achieved, Malvern still kept an eye on it.
That is to imply to Chu Guang that he will not agree to Chu Guang's help in issuing chips-denominated bonds until he sees that verbal promise become a legally binding document.
If the alliance really intends to become bigger and stronger, it will not make fun of its own laws.
Chu Guangxin held his hand and nodded with a smile.
"You're welcome, helping you solve the risks is also helping us."
"What we are pursuing has always been a win-win situation!"
……
Chu Guang didn't joke with Malvin, everything he said was the truth.
The league really doesn't want Boulder's bubble to burst so quickly.
Even if all the bubbles will burst in the end, it will be after all his plans are completed, and the impact on the alliance will be minimized!
Therefore, Chu Guang paid enough attention to Malvern.
On the same day, he drafted a plan on "free exchange of chips and silver coins", and signed his name on it generously.
As a side agreement, Boulder City Bank will serve as one of the alliance's bond distribution channels to help the alliance distribute bonds denominated in chips.
Moreover, the Bank of Boulder City will guarantee that the alliance's bond trading system can be successfully launched in Boulder City!
In this way, the nobles in the inner city can not only invest in the chip-denominated bonds issued by the alliance more conveniently, but also freely sell the bonds on the trading platform.
Complete transactions with just a tap of your finger!
This seems to have become a highly liquid financial product!
People who buy bonds don't have to worry about the five-year investment return period being too long, they just need to sell the bonds they have when they need money.
Now that there are so many wealthy people in Boulder City, there will always be bosses who have too much spare money to spend, and are interested in the spread of those few points!
As the agency issuer of this "financial management product", Boulder City Bank can naturally benefit from it, and does not have to take any risks like Lister.
On the same day, Melvin returned to Boulder City excitedly with her precious daughter and a group of bodyguards, bringing back the great news.
He solved the problem that the banks of the Boulder City have not solved in the past--
Convert chips to Cr on a large scale!
"Send a written letter to our shareholders! Tell them that the general meeting of shareholders will be held at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning, and it will still be in the same place...not to discuss dividends, but something more important than dividends! Tell them that we are about to witness history!"
On the ruins only a few streets away from Boulder City, Malvin called his secretary, his face flushed with excitement as he spoke.
He can't wait to tell his shareholders the good news!
Alisa, who was holding the doll, looked at her father worriedly, with a hint of sadness floating in her eyes.
She always read a little bit of news from the newspaper after everything happened.
And his father almost never talked to her about any work matters, so she didn't know what agreement the Alliance and Boulder City had reached.
But Alisa always has a bad feeling...
Will it really go so smoothly?
……
It wasn't just Alisa who was completely out of the way who had similar concerns, but also a truly prestigious person like Wei Jia, the big boss who ran the largest firm in Boulder City.
And different from the little girl's blind worry, Wei Jia's worry is not a castle in the air, but comes from the account books generated by the actual operation of the business!
And his worries are far more specific than the little daughter of the president who can't see anything.
Most of the products exported from the factories in Boulder City to the Alliance, or the things that the Alliance voluntarily imports from Boulder City, are settled with chips.
This is not only the requirement of Boulder City, but also the basic appeal that best meets the interests of most people here.
After all, no one wants to believe in a currency that is super-issued at will and has no anchor.
But now, Wei Jia finds out whether to laugh or cry, he would rather the alliance company settle the payment with silver coins, and keep the silver coins in the alliance account, even if he does not have the channel to directly exchange the silver coins into chips.
There is no other reason.
Chip inflation is too fast!
The raw materials that can be bought with 1 chip this month will become 2 chips next month. The supplier is not very fond of him who pays with chips, and even asks him to go to the alliance train station to pick up the goods. , because the road from Alliance to Boulder City is too difficult.
So what if the alliance officially has a 1:2 listing exchange rate?
It is impossible for 99% of people to exchange 1 chip for 2 silver coins!
If you want to exchange currency, you have to go to the black market, or buy something from the alliance market that you don't know when it will be sold, and transport it to Boulder City to slowly dump it.
Wei Jia himself didn't expect that he, a person who is mainly in the food business, would store a pile of copper mines bought with silver coins in the warehouse...
"Aron, can you believe it? I sometimes envy my competitors."
On the third day after the alliance celebration ended, and also the second day after the Boulder City Bank's shareholder meeting, Wei Jia, who was sitting in the office, was staring at the ledger in her hand, pressing her eyebrows with a headache.
Aaron was his secretary and one of his few confidantes.
It was this guy who contacted Alec, the captain of the factory's security team, who had surrounded the city hall and planned everything behind the scenes.
Hearing the boss's voice, Aaron froze slightly, and asked in a low voice.
"You mean... Monsieur Dittwey?"
Wei Jia sighed and nodded.
"Ah."
Didiwei nutrition cream.
There was a time when Didiwei Nutrient Cream took advantage of the cheap labor and raw material costs in the northern suburbs and squeezed out the market of Weijia Trading Company in Boulder City, so he once regarded Ditway as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.
But fortunately, that idiot Dittwig was obviously not as smart as Liszt, or he was a little more thoughtful in doing things.If it wasn't for the alliance to promote him to a height he shouldn't have, that guy would be a small business person at most in his life.
Wei Jia knew very well that the shareholders behind him had actually given that guy a chance, but that guy didn't show face. He never thought of getting a black card or using a part of the profits to manage it.So I just spent a little time to clean him out of Boulder City.
But now Wei Jia is a little envious of that guy.
I heard that the Didiwei food processing factory has been completely transformed, and it has started to process feed and agricultural products and fertilizers, and it has flourished in the agricultural market of Luoxia Province.
Perhaps this is the so-called industrial upgrading?
On the contrary, although the factory under his chamber of commerce is also improving the production line, the direction of improvement is completely different.
For example, a good taste food processing factory.
In order for the survivors of Boulder City to consume the nutritional cream, he had to reduce the cost of the nutritional cream. Only in this way can the survivors of Boulder City who have low wages also be able to consume it.The other part is of better quality and sold to the alliance. Although the residents of the alliance have long since stopped eating that food, Frostspear Ranch will buy some and mix it with feed for cattle, sheep and pigs.
Ordinary people do not have foreign exchange quotas, but ranches engaged in production activities have foreign exchange quotas. As long as the purpose is declared through formal channels, the payment can be settled with chips.
However, even so, the problem of inflation is too serious. Even if the customer delays payment by only one week, the materials that can be purchased with the payment will be reduced a little.It doesn't matter if you can earn more next month, but the problem is that the growth rate of profits has been increasingly unable to keep up with inflation.
He really didn't know, where did so much money come out in the market? !
He eagerly urged customers to settle the payment, but he had no choice but to please those customers, because the export alliance has almost become the only hope for Weijia Commercial Bank to maintain profits, and it is almost impossible to count on those poor ghosts in the outer city to consume his products. It has become an impossible thing... Those malnourished bastards are mixing sawdust into the nutrition cream themselves!
Wei Jia could feel that an invisible hand was constantly taking away his profits, but what troubled him was that he didn't know what to do?
Blame the alliance for spending too much money?
That's his number one client!
If the alliance's feed processing factories and ranches stopped importing his nutritional cream from tomorrow, he would have to shut down the entire production line of nutritional cream!
or……
Let's settle the payment with silver coins next month.
This is an impossible solution.
Although it can solve part of the production problem, what is reflected in the book profit line is a string of silver coins that cannot be taken away. Thinking of the official exchange rate of 1:2, his shareholders will definitely lose face.
Just when Wei Jia was having a headache with a pile of accounts receivable on the ledger, the phone rang suddenly.
Not daring to be negligent, Wei Jia knew very well who the person who could call her was, so she answered the phone immediately.
"Hey?"
"it's me."
Hearing Sid's voice, Wei Jia's face was immediately filled with a smile.
"Mr. Sheed, what has brought you here . . . Do you have any orders?"
Sid didn't talk nonsense with him, and said succinctly.
"I have 5 million bonds here, the price is favorable, 4.9 million is sold, you can buy it on the account of a commercial firm."
Wei Jia, who was originally worried about the tight cash flow, felt her heart skip a beat when she heard this, and blurted out.
"...[-] million chips?! Where can I find so much money?"
Realizing that his tone might be disrespectful, Wei Jia quickly lowered his posture, bent over the phone, and said with a bitter face.
"...Dear Mr. Sid, I don't mean to offend, but the operation of the chamber of commerce needs funds to buy raw materials. We can indeed use part of the money to buy bonds...but we have to set aside the part for production and operation."
The point is that a few days ago, he had already bought [-] million for Sid's sake, and he really couldn't get another [-] million in chips!
Sid was also annoyed.
He never imagined how his good brother Melvin would suddenly stab him.
He still held a debt of [-] million yuan in his hands, and he planned to sell it slowly, but the Bank of Boulder City also focused on the business of selling alliance bonds.
How does this make him pay the difference?
When the price gap is not too big, any fool will know to go to Malvern to buy it!
But Sid couldn't say anything.
After all, he himself is one of the shareholders of Boulder City Bank.
Malvern's original intention was also to allow everyone to earn more, and he also had a share of the money earned by Boulder City Bank.
Seeing that Wei Jia didn't readily agree, Sid said patiently although he was unhappy.
"You just lend me the money first. Don't worry about the liquidity. Boulder City Bank has launched a bond trading platform, and you can trade directly on it. You can cash out slowly in the secondary market. If it doesn't work, just Pay with those bonds!"
Wei Jia tremblingly did not dare to ask Sid why he didn't go to the secondary market to reduce his holdings, because he knew very well in his heart that those nobles would definitely not go to the secondary market to pick up rotten vegetables and leaves to eat.
In the end, he would either have to go to the so-called bond trading platform and play foolishly with other bullies, or he could only watch as the money was locked in the account and could not be moved.
He no longer cares whether the alliance pays interest or not.
Without liquidity, if he doesn't want to go bankrupt, he can only find a way to sell those bonds, or sell the assets of the business...
"Hurry up, buy it or not, you don't want to do me and find someone else." Sid who said this sentence was already a little impatient.
Does this guy think his wings are stiff?
In the final analysis, Weijia Trading Co. was able to earn so many bargaining chips, which was also due to his own credit and ability. This bastard really thought that he could make money with his little business acumen.
Don't talk about anything else.
If he hadn't instructed the research institutions in the inner city to re-establish the dietary standards for nutrient paste, why would the batch of mud from Weijia Trading Company enter the troughs of the pigs in the outer city?
Hearing the impatience in Sid's tone, Vija broke out in a cold sweat and said hastily.
"Buy! I buy!"
What he was most afraid of was Sid's saying that he would find someone else to do it.
Because he also knew in his heart that what he was doing was really not a technical job, and the factories were basically opened in the industrial area of Boulder City.Sid had to weigh Liszt's decision, and it was a matter of minutes to decide him, even if everyone had a black card.
"I wish I had promised not to." Seeing that his dog had softened, Sid snorted mockingly and hung up the phone.
He didn't care how Weijia got the money.
If he knew how to run a business, what was he doing with that dog?
Already killed and eaten meat.
After putting down the phone in his hand, Wei Jia leaned limply on the chair, feeling as if all the strength in his body had been drained.
Aaron looked at him worriedly.
"……boss?"
Wei Jia frowned.
"At least...we have to get over the difficulties in front of us."
Aaron was silent for a while, then said silently.
"But the nutrient cream...can no longer be mixed with water."
"Are you a pig? When will you earn [-] million with that stuff?" Wei Jia cursed angrily, stood up from her chair, and walked to the window.
He originally wanted to take a breath, but from the reflection on the window, he vaguely saw Ditwig's stupid face looking at him with a half-smile.
Wei Jia felt angry for a while, and couldn't vent her anger on the window, so she lit a cigarette and began to puff out the window.
Aaron stared at the back of the boss, and said in silence for a while.
"...A businessman from the north asked us if we had any spare production lines willing to sell. They were very interested in our mixers, filters, and synthesis furnaces, and the prices they offered were not bad."
Those equipments were the honeymoon period of trade between the Alliance and Boulder City. In order to expand production, they borrowed money from the Bank of Boulder City to buy them.
Boulder City Bank not only lends money to the alliance, but also lends money to their factories, otherwise they would not be able to develop so fast.
The loan for part of the equipment has already been paid off. Selling that part of the equipment can at least solve part of the problem, and we can find a solution for the remaining funds.
Wei Jia looked back at him.
"Are they going to make nutrient cream?"
Aaron shook his head.
"No...they want to do feed processing. Recently, the price of corn in the alliance has plummeted, and many factories have switched to doing this. In fact, I think that the nutritional cream has not much profit. Why don't we also switch to making feed."
Vija sighed.
"not that simple."
As long as he is still setting up a factory in Boulder City and intends to do business in the market where silver coins are priced, he will be unable to avoid the sickle anyway.
The first is tariffs, and the second is exchange rates.It costs one knife to import raw materials, and another knife to export finished products.
This has nothing to do with what is produced, unless they can produce something that the alliance can't produce at all, otherwise this is unsolvable.
At least, the boss of a business firm in his area can't solve it, unless Boulder City unites from top to bottom to put pressure on the alliance.
Wei Jia suddenly had an illusion.
It wasn't an invisible hand that was taking his profits.
Instead, countless invisible hands formed an invisible cage, ruthlessly enclosing everyone in the city.
That terrible thought flashed away, followed by a chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
The coldness on the back of the neck made Weijia shiver unconsciously, took two hard puffs on the cigarette butt in her mouth, and threw the unfinished cigarette out of the window cursingly.
"Damn, it's really unlucky."
Aaron watched him silently.
"If you don't sell the equipment, you can only borrow money from the Boulder City Bank."
"Sell! Why don't you sell it? What's the use of producing so much garbage? No one buys it!" Wei Jia took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth. He took a sharp puff, and suddenly had an idea, and looked at Aaron and said immediately , "Wait, there is! The alliance issued the bond, and we will issue it too!"
Aaron froze for a moment and hesitated.
"Us? But... who will buy it?"
Who would buy a bond issued by a factory?
You can't ask Mr. Sid to buy it back...
That is looking for death.
"Isn't it time to pay wages?" Wei Jia chuckled and said complacently, "Hurry up and go to the accountant and ask them to make IOUs—oh no, bonds, and distribute them to those poor ghosts. Wait for a while When the days get better, I will even make up for them with interest!"
Aaron stared at the boss intently.
"But... can this work?"
The more than 4000 employees of Weijia Commercial Bank have an average daily salary of 4 chips. Even if each person erases the salary and bonus of 120 chips, they can only make up 48 chips.
None of this counts.
At least three zeros off, right? !
"I can't help it either. If I can squeeze out a little bit, at least I have to add up the money for the purchase. Those people outside only want cash, and we have to pay for the important side first."
Wei Jia also had his reasons. After a pause, he said slowly, "As for Mr. Sid's [-] million...that's another account. We'll just ask the president for a loan."
First borrow 5 million chips of bonds from Mr. Sid as collateral, and borrow 5 million from Boulder City Bank in the name of production, but in fact the 5 million is not used to expand production.He will pay 4.9 million of them to Mr. Sid, so that Weijia Commercial Bank will still have a floating profit of 1000 million in its account.
This floating profit is real cash, and the interest generated by the mortgaged bonds is enough to pay the interest on the bank loan in Boulder City.
Although it sounds like a muddled account, Wei Jia believed that President Malvern was a generalist, so it was impossible not to lend him the money.
You Boulder City Bank sells the bonds on your own agency, so you don’t even recognize it yourself?
Actually think about it.
No money?
Is it over if you borrow it?
If you borrow, I will borrow, and if you die, I will die even worse.
Wei Jia, who had figured everything out, suddenly felt relaxed, happy physically and mentally, and had a clear idea. Not only did she not worry, but she laughed out loud.
Of course the equipment has to be sold, it is his own equipment, and how to dispose of it is his freedom.
Now that there are so many ways to make money, you can make a fortune with just a few clicks of your finger, and only fools do the most thankless and stupid jobs.
Is it more uncomfortable to sell the factory and become a "market dealer"?
Moreover, the lighter the asset, the faster it runs.
The reason why Sid can't handle Liszt is because that chicken thief profiteer never refuses to move the factory into the city?
But Wei Jia is a smart person after all. Seeing Aaron walking out of the door, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately stopped him.
"Wait a moment."
Aaron stopped in his tracks.
"Do you have any other orders?"
Wei Jia threw the cigarette butt out of the window, walked to Aaron with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder.
"I almost forgot to say that your salary will be paid as usual, including the salary of your colleagues, and the salary of the security team... Don't worry, follow me, I will not let those who are really capable suffer."
Aron nodded.
He never asked the boss about it.
After all, isn't it a matter of course?
……
Night finally fell, and the bell for shift change finally rang.
Handing over the work at hand to the half-grown children, the workers on the day shift queued up to Alec to collect last month's wages.
At first, Sberg was still curious. Today, the moon came out from the west, and the security captain Alec personally went to the battle to distribute money to everyone, and he also brought a group of villains who didn't look like good people.It wasn't until he got an IOU from Alec that he came back to his senses, good guy, these profiteers are really thieves!
Everyone was tired and had no energy. Some people wanted to complain, but no one was willing to stand up. Some people accepted the IOUs readily, probably out of trust in the boss.
Sberg also honestly accepted the IOUs called bonds, comforting himself in his heart that the family has a big business, so they won't really run away.But these days are really getting weirder and weirder. If you use IOUs to pay wages today, what will you use next month?
IOUs for IOUs?
A group of shabby poor ghosts walked out of the factory.
Not far away, Kent suddenly squatted down quickly. Just when Sberg thought he had picked up the money, he saw him excitedly holding up a cigarette butt and stuffing it into his pocket.
"Lucky! Two cigarette butts!"
The short man walking beside Kent looked enviously at the cigarette butt in his hand, sipped it and said.
"I bet it fell out of Mr. Wei Jia's office, only that grown-up would waste it like that!"
It's really not far from the lord's office.
Sberg sighed and muttered.
"What's the luck...it's getting colder and colder, it's probably going to snow."
Kent gave him an impatient look.
"so what?"
"So...we have to wear thicker clothes."
"Then go and wear it! You don't even know how to wear clothes!" Kent stared, with a cigarette butt in his mouth, and his fierce face looked like Alec, the security chief, who had been starved for days.
"Yes……"
Not wanting to spoil his good mood, Sberg consciously shrank aside, but his face was full of sadness.Half of it is due to the upcoming cold weather, and the other half is due to the increasingly cold environment.
The boss paid the salary.
But it was an IOU.
He didn't know if this thing could be exchanged for dinner, and he didn't know if the smart Master Wei Jia would still recognize the loan if he left the job.
And just two days ago, the respected Mr. House announced another victory for Boulder City on the radio. The wise Governor of Malvern forced the iron lump in the northern suburbs to make concessions and allowed Boulder City to purchase the bonds of the alliance.
This time, Mr. House took a longer time to explain the doorways, mercifully revealing the secrets to poor ghosts who have neither culture nor knowledge, but Sberger was not at all happy Can't get up.
After all, no matter how good that thing was, he couldn't afford it. Instead, he was forced by his boss to buy another thing - the operating debt of Haowei Food Processing Factory.
With such a long name, it is not a good thing to hear.
Undoubtedly, league bonds aren't a good thing either.
Sberg couldn't understand, especially his bosses who were already so rich, why should they borrow money from poor ghosts like them?
Go back to the leaky room.
He sat at the table with some resentment, lit the candle that everyone helped him find with a broken match, picked up the pen that everyone bought with money, and wrote in a tattered old newspaper.
【...Boer, who got the black card, drank too much that day, and he beat up his boss who had bullied him—— Stephen, who looked like a big rat.Then he looked at Stephen's beautiful wife and daughter in disbelief, and untied the belt around his waist... Of course, this was to slap Stephen's ass hard and make him lose face in front of his wife and daughter.Bohr is as fierce as a wild beast in the jungle. He is an awakened person with all the strength in his body. Of course he can do this, and no one can stop him. 】
There is no logic in this.
Anyway, people don't care about that stuff.
But as he was writing, Sberg still frowned, couldn't help but crossed out the second half, and re-wrote, whispering while writing.
"...but Pohl knew in his heart that beating Stephen up wouldn't solve anything, not even taking off his belt and pissing on him. Killed a big rat, and there were only more corpses and flies in the street. Boulder City is still the same Boulder City, everything is the same as before, nothing will change. Only himself, he has to get out of the huge wall in despair, and continue to lose his temper in another place."
"So he found the unemployed editor Bill, the child laborer Rudy who was humiliated by Stephen, the female worker Kathy who was humiliated by the team of the security captain and the shareholders... He told everyone that one person cannot defeat the claws of death, but If we were a group, even the Mother of Death Claws would be defeated by us. We can follow the alliance, and we unite! One man is weak, but as long as we are united, Stephen will fear us, and all Stephen will !"
"Go to the f*cking profiteer and noble grandpa!"
"The Awakened Boll: The story of a poor boy in a slum who accidentally picked up a tube of awakening elixir and knocked down a power armor in the final battle"
He wrote the title very long.
It could have been longer, but there wasn't enough room left at the beginning.
Because there was no money to print, Sberg could only copy two copies. One was sent to the alliance's "Survivor Daily" for submission, and a sincere postscript was attached, hoping to send the manuscript to the original author for review... If that author is there.
If they are willing to publish, maybe they can sponsor themselves some manuscript fees... He doesn't ask for much, just enough to buy some daily necessities.
He kept the other for himself, and he had to read it to the readers of the Raboch - the fellows of the Workers' Union.
Thinking of those outrageous and absurd plots, and the eyes of tomorrow's workers looking at him, Sberg felt a little hot on his cheeks.
But his heart is warm...
