This Game is Too Real Chapter 523

   Chu Guang can understand Old Charlie's complaints.

   The more exciting his little players are in the front line, the more difficult the situation in the rear is.

  It is no exaggeration to say that in the past few months, almost all money-related units in the entire alliance, from the central bank to the Ministry of Finance to the trade unions, have been wiping the **** of the alliance army. So far, there have been no major problems in production and economy, and the full cooperation with various departments is inseparable from the relationship.

   Of course, the most important thing is that he fulfilled the promise made at the beginning and ended the war before the end of the year.

   "Let's talk about the first question first."

   said, Chu Guang looked at Minister Sun Ruicai who was sitting at the other end of the conference table with a nervous expression, and continued speaking in a gentle tone.

   "Do you remember the last question on that paper?"

  Sun Rui was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized what the test paper Chu Guang said was, and immediately said.

   "Remember! I remember the title was.... If we borrowed money from the looters, would we still pay it back."

  Chu Guang: "Your answer?"

   "What I wrote at the time was to..." Sun Rongcai

He said nervously, "I think it's better to pay back the money first and then **** it back, rather than just letting it go. Otherwise, other people will worry about whether they will be detained because they borrowed money from us. marauder's hat

  Chu Guang nodded approvingly, then looked at Old Charlie.

"Unfortunately, I am satisfied that only he answered this question alone. Some of the candidates' answers are raising the bar, saying that the alliance will never trade with the predators, so the question is not valid. Others think that we can put this The money is directly hacked, and no one will sympathize with the predators anyway. However, if things are really that simple, we don't need to do anything with the Treasury Department, just hire a 'housekeeper' and everything will be done."

  Raiders are different from mutants. This is not something that can be distinguished at a glance. Conversely, it can also be a pocket that can hold anything.

   The confiscation of the plunderer's property is quite different from declaring that the creditor is the plunderer.

   Of course, the reason why Chu Guang is half satisfied is because there is actually a better way

   Compared with taking the money from the creditor by force

  IOUs, it is a more ingenious way to make the IOUs in the hands of creditors worthless through appropriate methods.

   Old Charlie coughed softly.

   "I didn't say you'd throw the money away.

   That is just an exaggeration, the original intention is that you can understand our current financial situation

   How dire the situation is. "

  Chu Guang smiled and nodded.

   "I can understand your feelings. We must pay back the money. We can't do anything about defaulting on the debt. Now it comes to the second question...how to pay back the money.

   said, he looked at Sun Ruicai.

   "How much will you have to pay by the end of the year?"

  Sun Rui said immediately.

  Total debt scale5.

  100 million chips The loan period ranges from 20 to 50 years, with a total of 10.17 million chips in principal and interest! "

  Chu Guang nodded and suddenly sighed and said. "Too little."

   Whether it is the size of the debt or the repayment

   The principal and interest are too little!

  If the repayment is 100 million at the end of the year, I am afraid that he has not yet gotten off the airship, and the Malvern President of the Boulder City Bank has already been waiting for him under the airship.

   Why would he have to stand for a long time and wait for an Avni and Boss Xia.

  Sun Rui was stunned for a while, and Old Charlie was also stunned for half a second.

   "Too little...?"

   "Well," Chu Guang nodded, distressed

Looking at them, "During my time on the front line, you have wronged yourself too much. Minister Sun Ruicai said just now that the deficit contributed by military expenditure accounts for 76.9% of the total deficit of the alliance, even if our current total industrial output value of military industry accounts for 76.9% of the total deficit. Relatively high, this financial report is also quite unhealthy.”

   You also know this is not healthy!

   Old Charlie couldn't help saying.

   "This is also the result of the back office being as frugal as possible..."

  Chu Guang looked at the old man and continued.

   "The problem is here. The deficit in military spending has reached 900 million. If our investment in infrastructure also reached 900 million, wouldn't the ratio drop from 76.9% to 50%?"

   After hearing Chu Guang's words, Old Charlie was completely dumbfounded. Sun Ruicai, who was sitting beside him, also had a dumbfounded expression.

   What kind of logic genius is this?

   And aren't they discussing how to repay the money?

  Why do you think they spend too little?

   A joke to lighten the mood, but the principle is still the same.

   Looking at the speechless old Charlie and Minister Sun, Chu Guang put away his joking expression, looked at the two seriously and continued.

"I went out to help you borrow money with all my hard work, so that the residents of the Union would have a better life, not so that you could tighten your belts and pay your debts. So when you told me to adopt a more conservative economic strategy for the next three years , I'm very saddened to take everyone to reduce the scale of debt before expanding our business... If this is the end result, why should I fight this battle?

   "Individuals can reduce the scale of debt by saving food and clothing, but collectives must not do this. Debt is a rope, and once we are caught up in it, we will become the slaves of the creditor. If you solve the problem by reducing the balance, you know

Does   Tao mean anything? It means that the entire alliance, in the next three years and five years, will have to work for Boulder City! Is this what a victorious country should do? We owe money, we are their father! "

  Old Charlie stared at Chu Guang blankly, completely confused by the logic of this sleight of hand.

   One second ago, he said that debts are the ropes of slaves, but the next second, it is the creditor's father who owes money?

   Minister Sun Ruicai was equally stunned, but in another sense, he understood a little what the managers thought. "…you mean, debt is the root

   Rope, with which the creditor can hold us, but in turn we can

   Use this rope to hold...they? "

  Chu Guang picked up the cup and took a sip of water, calming down his voice a little while licking Lan Lan's throat.

"exactly."

"So before discussing how to repay the money, I must first change your attitudes and tell you that the road of reducing the balance to repay the debt is 'absolutely' unworkable, and that it is unworkable for us. The credit of Alliance F, instead of shrinking the balance sheet, should continue to increase spending and spend more money!"

   "But how to spend money is a matter of knowledge,

   We can't follow the nobles of Boulder City, nor can we copy the experience of the ideal city, I have to use our own model. "

   After a pause, Chu Guang continued.

   "This time back from the front line, what I'm going to do can be summed up in one thing."

   Old Charlie swallowed.

".…what?"

  Chu Guang said with a smile. "Share the spoils with the citizens of the Alliance!

  Sun Rui was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react, "Dividing... spoils?"

"That's right," Chu Guang nodded. "The victory of the alliance is inseparable from the support of all citizens. It is impossible for our army to defeat the group of wolves with only fists. We have obtained two countries attached to the Tang Dynasty and two trading partners. Residents of the city can clearly feel that the food is cheaper. It used to be less than a pound of corn for an hour of work, but now it can be exchanged for a kilogram... But it's not enough, it's not enough for the winner!"

   said, he raised his volume.

"Alliance residents should not only have corn and potatoes on their tables, but only pigs, cattle and sheep. They should also have meat, eggs and milk on their tables. We need to make them affordable and accessible. , and then eat whatever they want, but make it hard!"

"Not just to eat, but to wear! Last winter we stuffed pre-war banknotes into quilts as quilts, and I promised that was the last time, and now I'll keep that promise, and this winter everyone will be covered with real Quilts, clean warm coats and leather boots, living in an airtight house—" "And much more than that!"

   That loud voice echoed in the conference room.

   After hearing these words, Sun Ruicai only felt a burst of heat in his heart, and couldn't help but quietly applauded under the table.

  Speaking of which, wasn't he the reason why he chose to stay after ending his wandering life because the man in front of him promised everyone a better life?

   He felt ashamed that he had the idea for a moment to make everyone save money and pay off the debt.

  Debt and repayment is a matter of course

   But he was the Union Finance Minister,

   He is obliged to come up with a better solution for the alliance, which is different from the excited Sun Ruicai,

   Old Charlie didn't react much, just stared at Chu Guang intently.

   he admitted.

   This man's words have a demagogic power.

   If this was a public speech, not an internal discussion, the applause would probably lift the ceiling.

  People will stand up to cheer him, shout his name, and even regard him as a living god, willing to give his life for him...

   In fact, a lot of people are already doing this, and being a member of the Guards is the dream of almost all the boys in the league.

   In the wasteland, what could be more attractive than being well fed and clothed?

   And what he promises is not only to feed and clothe the residents of the alliance, but also to let them live with dignity... Let everyone live with dignity, this is a big word that the lord of the giant stone city dare not say.

   Rather, the only people who can really do it in the entire wasteland are those in the ideal city.

   But Lao Cha was relieved after thinking about it.

   This is actually not the biggest cake the manager has drawn.

  Compared to "build a new ideal city on top of the ruins" and "return to a prosperous era", this **** is actually a small one.

  Chu Guang smiled at Sun Ruicai, and raised his hand slightly when he saw that he had something to say, indicating that he had not finished speaking.

   After a moment's pause, Chu Guang changed into a gentle tone and continued.

   "I occasionally entrust my assistants to observe how our inhabitants live

Of course, this doesn't include their personal privacy.” For example, a girl who works at a trading post works six days a week, from seven in the morning to seven in the evening, with only a one-hour lunch break in between, and she can only work on Saturday nights. Go back to the village next to Linghu Lake to reunite with his family, then stay until early Monday morning to go back to work.

   "In the past, we were short of people, and we could only grieve our workers to work a little longer, but now that we have gone through the most difficult period, I think we should give them back the time that originally belonged to them."

   "So I called the head of the trading post while I was still on the front lines and asked him to increase the number of employees by 50% and adjust the average daily working hours for everyone from 12 hours to 8 hours.

  , adopt a more flexible shift schedule. "

"This set of rules has been running for half a month, and it turns out that it works completely!" The staff of the trade station will be more enthusiastic and devoted to their work, and they will treat every customer more patiently, not just those who travel far and wide. The chamber of commerce will leave a good impression on our people, and our employees can also lead a better life. After get off work, they don't have to lie in the dormitory like they have exhausted all their energy, and they can go out for more walks, whether it is to the museum Learn to recharge, or go to the snack street or socialize with friends, be a young man

   things to do. "

"Of course, what we need to solve is not just one person's problem, but everyone's problem. The trading post is just a pilot. From now on, all factories, institutions, and facilities in the alliance, whether collective or private, will be It should! I'm going to write it into law and I'm ready to double my budget for that."

   After a pause, Chu Guang looked at Old Charlie and Minister Sun Ruicai, and expressed his thoughts not only to give the residents of the alliance time, but also to make them rich. Currently our minimum wage is 1 silver per hour, a figure that can no longer keep up with the economic growth of the Alliance. I plan to get the league minimum wage to 3 credits per hour early next year and the median to gradually increase to 5 credits. ""When the residents of the union have money and time at the same time, they have spending power and more demand, as long as we can keep inflation down

   Within a reasonable range, a market with amazing growth and business opportunities will be formed here

"And in order to earn more interest, the nobles of Boulder City not only will not urge us to repay the debt, but also sharpen their heads and send the chips they have saved to us. After all, we will take these chips to buy them soon. Their things, let them earn their chips back. Even if the Boulder City Bank didn't print a penny, the chips in their pockets could double, even more than double!

  Sun Rui just held his breath.

   Old Charlie also looked at Chu Guang in surprise.

   Now he has basically fully understood Chu Guang's thoughts.

   This guy is not planning to reduce the debt, but is planning to borrow more money.

   Use the borrowed money to develop the economy, invest in infrastructure, and improve the lives of residents, thereby further expanding the economic scale of the Union, and then attracting more hot money in.

   It's just that there is still a loophole in it.

   Old Charlie said cautiously.

   "But we have to use

  The chips earned there pay off the debt of Boulder City,

   It is impossible to pay them back with silver coins. "

  Sun Ruicai calmed down after hearing the words.

  “….. indeed, their inhabitants used to be

  The spending power is still there, but now the

  The nourishing cream has to be eaten sparingly. "

   Looking at the worried two, Chu Guang nodded approvingly.

"Being able to observe this shows that you are attentive, and it also shows that our plan has successfully entered the second stage. A large number of chips are concentrated in the pockets of the nobles of Boulder City, which indirectly pushes up the inflation of Boulder City, if you are from Boulder City. Aristocrat, seeing the people around you getting richer and richer, with more and more chips in your pocket, but less and less spending, what would you do?"

  Sun Rui just thought for a moment, then suddenly revealed

   said excitedly with a stunned expression.

   "Preserve value! I have to keep my chips in value before they depreciate.

Before   , buy something or industry that can add value! "

  Chu Guang smiled and nodded.

   "Correct, although less comprehensive."

  Blind investment is a concomitant of economic overheating

One of the symptoms of    is that people lose their minds in a frenzy and try to make their money in their pockets beat inflation.

   Because money comes so easily.

   It seems that you can earn it with your eyes closed.

   Slowly, people will be more worried about missing the opportunity to get on the bus than losing money.

"...In the entire southern River Valley Province, there is no market more worthy of investment than the Alliance. Anyway, they probably have no interest in wasting money on those poor people who can't even afford nutritional creams, and I don't expect to earn those people. Money to pay off debts." "In addition to investment, the aristocrats in the inner city will also become more generous than before in their consumption habits. We just need to give them a little chance and encourage them to enlarge the pattern a little bit, and they themselves Will send money. For example, to develop tourism and entertainment industry, let them go to the ideal city

  More debt, attracting hot money that cannot find investment opportunities in their hands. "

   "The residents of Boulder City... Although it's sympathetic, that's something that Boulder City should worry about. If you can't even afford nutritional cream, those people will naturally come to contact.

  Meng eats corn. "

  Chu Guang sympathized with their experience.

   Those who survived were also the ones who suffered in the wasteland.

   But he also said that he will give priority to the interests of the alliance, and it is impossible to sacrifice the interests of his own people for the sake of others.

   And if they want to come, he doesn't

   Mind sharing the leeks cut from the inner city nobles to help them start a new life.

  People contest who can play the money more badly. Another example is to issue more debt to attract hot money that cannot find investment opportunities in their hands. "

   "The residents of Boulder City...Although it's sympathetic, that's something Boulder City should worry about. If they can't even afford nutritional cream, those people will naturally come to the Alliance to eat corn."

  Chu Guang sympathized with their experience.

   Those who survived were also the ones who suffered in the wasteland.

   But he also said that he would

  The interests of the alliance are given priority, and it is impossible to sacrifice the interests of one's own people for the sake of others.

   And if they are willing to come, he doesn't mind giving them a share of the leeks cut from the nobles in the inner city to help them start a new life.

   Anyway, it was originally the result of their labor. "...In order to manage the Union's foreign debt in a unified manner, and to allow our creditors to exercise their creditor rights more conveniently and efficiently, I plan to ask the Union Central Bank to join the Boulder City Bank to issue a 'bond' denominated in chips."

"It can replace chips to a certain extent. Regardless of whether the Boulder City Bank accepts its currency status or not, we will pay it at the coupon rate when it expires. If the nobles of Boulder City don't mind, it is also possible to take this IOU as money. of."

   Old Charlie hesitated.

   "Will the Boulder City Bank agree?"

   This is obviously a big hole...  

  Chu Guang said with a smile.

  Believe me, even if I don't mention this, they will take the initiative to ask me to come up with a similar plan, so that the creditor's rights in their hands can be circulated like banknotes. "

  Old Charlie was silent for a while, then suddenly sighed and said with emotion.

   "Looks like I'm really getting old."

  Chu Guang shook his head.

   "Where is the matter, all I can provide is a macro strategy, and the details need to be improved after your research and discussion."

   "I'll try my best to keep up with you."

  Old Charlie glanced at Sun Ruicai and then said, "Today's meeting... I suggest keeping it a secret."

   In a sense, they discussed

   It's not how to pay the debt at all, but how to cut more leeks from the neighbors.

   If this is spread out, I am afraid it will not boost the confidence of the creditors, I am afraid that the creditors will all have the idea of ​​jumping off the building.

  Sun Rui nodded seriously and covered the meeting notes on the table tightly.

"clear!"

  Chu Guang didn't say anything and acquiesced to Old Charlie's suggestion to keep the meeting secret, even if he thought it didn't matter whether it was kept secret or not.

   A lot of things are obvious.

must

   Some people will notice that the asset bubble in Boulder is constantly building up, and the risks hidden in the bubble.

   Such as the president of the Boulder City Bank.

   As long as he spends a little time and checks the ledger, he will find that the chips circulating in the Stone City are even more distributed than the total amount of the Stone City.

The    row has more chips.

   However, those who find the problem will not take the initiative to burst this bubble, because doing so will not benefit at all, but will get into trouble.

   It's the "smart" thing to make the last one before the bubble bursts.

  If the last stop is a cliff, then just get off before the penultimate stop…

   The closed-door meeting lasted only an hour and ended.

   Although many people heard that the manager came back

   Afterwards, such a meeting was held to resolve the debt problem, but apart from the three participants, no one knew what was discussed at the meeting, and no one knew what instructions the union managers gave to the trade union and the Ministry of Finance.

   Just as the merchants from Boulder City were

   guessed, when the alliance was out of money to repay the debt, the second day after the meeting ended, an announcement issued by the Dawning City Hall slapped everyone in the face.

  The entire announcement is about tens of thousands of words, but to summarize it in two words-

   That is the tender!

   And it is a tender for multiple fields at the same time!

   The first is travel.

The Dawning City Hall will tender and purchase 50 electric buses at the price of 5 million silver coins, which will be put into the existing 6 public transportation lines and the 4 new ones to replace the trucks originally used to pull goods and transport troops. , strive to reduce the commuting cost of residents to less than 1 silver coin, and can "sit" in the car decently, without getting your pants dirty.

  Not only bus, but also related supporting facilities.

  Dawning City Hall's bidding plan also includes concrete roads with a total mileage of 50 kilometers, as well as four new charging stations.

   And this is not the most eye-catching!

   The most eye-catching announcement has become the head of the day

   Early morning.

  A single-family hut in Linghu Wetland Park.

   Looking at the newly baked one in his hand, Fang Chang's face was full of surprise while sitting at the dining table.

   "Good guy... That's a lot of silver."

Dawn City Lord Luca announced that in order to accommodate the survivors who continue to pour into Dawn City, and to improve the living environment of the residents in the city, the city hall plans to invite bids to build 1,000 new apartment buildings on the wasteland in the northeastern part of Qingquan City, requiring an average household area of ​​40 More than square meters, each building can accommodate a minimum of 48 households and a maximum of 60 households.

  According to past practice, players can also participate in the design and bidding.

   He bet.

   Make money with those life pro gamers

The enthusiasm of   , this matter will definitely replace the hot search of "B6 layer" and become the hottest topic on the homepage of today's top forum!

   There is also a picture in the newspaper, showing the empty space on the east side of Embassy Street in Huiguang City.

   went in, and there are two of the newly planned bus lines in it.

   But then again, this is both building roads and building houses.

  Where does the money come from?

   After talking about the almost completely real economic system, I feel that these NPCs are not playing cards according to the routine...

   Fang Chang thought about it and found that he was

   inertia brings into the thinking in reality.

   In fact, the situation and the

   is completely different.

   What is the most precious thing here?

   Black box?

Technology?

neither!

   It's people!

   It's people who do research, people who make designs, people who drive screws and farm fields, and people who go down to mining relics.

  With people, we have the ability to excavate the ruins and recover the treasures of those pre-war civilizations. There is not enough manpower, let alone the wool of thin neighbors, and people who sell hyena meat have to be slaughtered.

   As long as the alliance can continuously siphon their manpower and wealth from the surrounding survivor settlements, then this quantitative easing operation is completely feasible.

  It is impossible to find reference objects in reality

   to find in the 21st century, but should go back to the earlier 19th century

   Fang Chang was staring at the newspaper.

When    was grinding, Dolly quietly walked to his side, leaned over and pecked on his cheek, and put the hot buns just bought on the table.

   "Someone is looking for you outside."

   closed the newspaper in his hand, Fang Chang raised his head and said with a smile.

"Who?"

   Dolly wrinkled her nose.

   "His name is Keith, and he also says he is the son of the president of the Boulder City Bank... But I don't think he's a good guy, it's weird."

   She didn't like the guy's frivolous eyes, but she politely asked him to wait at the door for a while.

   Basic repair?

   Hearing this name, square eyes

   suddenly lit up, pushed away the chair with a smile and stood up.

   "You're right, dear, that guy is really not a good thing, but that doesn't prevent him from doing good things."

   "A good deed?" Dolly tilted her head with a confused expression.

   She doesn't think the guy who can't wait to look at people with his nostrils seems like someone who can do good deeds.

"Yes, one must do one or two good things in one's life, or it's too pitiful, so I can help..." Fang Chang smiled and stroked her hair lightly, "I'll meet him. '
