Chapter 480 [Bai Dong's counterattack]

Bai Dong was actually very happy because smart people finally appeared; in fact, since the time when he signed an agreement with these silver mine owners to acquire their mineral silver at a high price, Bai Dong guessed that there would be a smart guy who would appear on his own, and it was only a matter of time.

When signing an agreement with these silver mines, Bai Dong gave sufficient preferential conditions. The Bai family's commercial strongholds would spare no expense to suppress the silver price and also purchase their mineral silver at a higher price. The purpose is to make them cooperate as much as possible and to "not buy back" and "not sell back" while making money from the Bai family. The purpose of the Bai family is to promote new silver. Once the matter is done, it will be beneficial to the whole of China. What's more, in the process of promoting new silver, these silver mine owners have made a lot of money. If they secretly buy low-priced silver from the Bai family's commercial stronghold and then sell it back to the Bai family at a high price, is this still a business profit? This is more ruthless than robbers robbing money! So when Bai Dong proposed the terms of the agreement, except for the Ba Kingdom and Shu Kingdom that did not participate in Bai Dong's plan, the other countries and aristocratic families were engraved on bamboo slip documents, and even printed on the brocade books.

I thought it was human nature to take risks in the face of huge benefits, but I didn't expect that people in this era were really too kind and moral. Even these businessmen were the ones who promised them. Half a year passed, and the major silver mines in China strictly followed the bottom line of business and fulfilled the agreement truthfully, which made Bai Dong so depressed. I thought that his "plan" would be dead, but suddenly received a book from bitter wine and a dog leftover son. Bai Dong laughed excitedly and spent a romantic and unforgettable night with the fleas in Hokkaido.

To promote new silver, the biggest resistance is not those copper mine owners. Although the value of silver is not as valuable as copper and iron, the concept that silver is more expensive than copper has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. As long as the silver in China can be completely controlled and the price of silver is suppressed, the Chinese will definitely be happy to use silver coins, so the biggest resistance is actually the owners of these silver mines.

In order to realize the silver standard system, the most convenient way is to suppress the silver price and acquire the few silver mines in China at the same time. Only in this way can we fundamentally control the silver market. But how many silver mines in China have? For those noble families and powerful countries, this is their fate! If the acquisition is forcibly acquired, even if the Bai family alliance has enough financial resources, it will cause a huge rebound! The division of Wuming will only damage Bai Zi's reputation for hard management. At that time, everyone in the world will discuss Bai Zi's use of power to suppress others, and Lao Qin is ambitious, which is something that Bai Dong doesn't want to see.

Now the Xiang family of Chu State has jumped out, and the Zhang family of South Korea has also jumped out. Two famous families in the world have broken the agreement and secretly bought silver to harm the Bai family. The Bai family is now a kind person who has been hurt by others. He is determined to plan for China, but he is severely cheated by his partners. Can people in the world dislike such a "weak person"?

"Our opportunity has finally come."

Bai Dong sat down, first picked up the tea bowl and drank wildly, and then laughed: "It's fine if King Ba and King Shu. These two countries have never joined our 'Promotion New Silver' plan; the Xiang family and the Zhang family are different. They ruin great justice for small profits. They will only despise the people of the world! Now, no matter what the Bai family does or how they do it, the people of the world will only say that they are not, but the Bai family is famous for their masters."

Bijiu stared at him: "When did you come back? Where is the Bai family's sea boat!"

"I had already returned to China half a month ago, and the Bai family ships landed secretly from Yue State. The silver ore I carried had been secretly distributed to the smelting factories in Qi State and Yue State. In another ten days, the first batch of "Shi Jian Yin" will be put into the Chinese market and distributed to major trade bases as quickly as possible."

"Shi Jianyin? Last time I saw your book, you actually drew a map for the Japanese island and gave countless place names. This Shi Jian is what you call the silver-producing land, but is Shi Jianyin really enough for China to use? Heianlang, this time we spent countless financial resources just to implement your new silver system. It seems that no matter how you calculate it, it is a loss-making transaction. Now you have to break the face with the Xiang family and Zhang family. These two families are bastards. Provoking the Bai family is seeking death, but their power cannot be underestimated. The Bai family wants to deal with them, and I don't know how much financial and manpower it will take. Heianlang, I... I really don't understand your current method of doing things!"

Gou Shengzi highly praised himself as his former friend, so when Bai Dong insisted on promoting the new silver, he would follow him blindly out of inertia. But this time Bai Dong suddenly returned to China secretly and made him feel a little disappointed. It would be fine to hide it from him, but he even hid the bitter wine? Haha... Ping Anlang is now the King of Xijun, Bai Zi, with a growing reputation, and his title is higher and higher, and he gradually became arbitrary when doing things. Otherwise, how could he interfere in Cao'er's affairs? Wu Zhuan is that nerd, not to mention being inferior to himself, even to Silder! What is the King of Revival of Yue Kingdom? If Ping Anlang had not been fully maintained by Ping Anlang, if he had not been strongly supported by the Bai family, he would be afraid that he would still stand on the podium of Fengming Academy? After all, Cao'er's affairs made him very dissatisfied.

"I know you will have many dissatisfactions. There is nothing wrong with this. I will tell you the reason. I also know what you are worried about, but you can rest assured that the amount of silver produced by Shijian Santian alone is enough for China to use for hundreds of years! If I am willing to pour the silver produced by Shijian into China, the silver price of China will become cheaper than the copper price. Do you believe it? Otherwise, I am not stupid, how could I easily implement the "new silver" system? How dare I turn the Chinese currency into silver coins?" Bai Dong smiled and looked at Gou Shengzi, knowing that this kid was probably contradicting himself for the sake of Cao'er's affairs. However, it is not advisable to mention Cao'er and Wuzhuan at this time, just point to Yinzi and talk.

"It sounds beautiful to turn copper coins into silver coins, but what can the Bai family get from it? You said that the copper and iron that can be saved is beneficial to military farming, but at that time it will not benefit the Qin family, but the entire world will benefit. The countries in the world may not be friends of Qin, and some may become enemies. Did the Bai family work hard to make them richer and stronger?"

Gou Shengzi is now considered a big shot, but compared with big shots, he also has different horizons. Now he can see these things. Naturally, he thinks he has a good reputation and is a loyal minister who is angry at the "crazy monarch".

"As a Qin man, I have to consider Qin, but should I only consider Qin? The emperor once mentioned the same question to me. I told him that if he only had the benefits of Qin, he would be limited to one country for his life; if he had the interests of ten countries in his eyes, he would become the overlord of the world; if he had the entire China in his eyes, then Qin would be the unification of China! Dog Zuozi, you must remember that the big heart is, the big world is... The copper coins are turned into silver coins, and the Qin State is not the only one who benefits the most, but isn't the Qin State the most? As long as the Bai family has the power to determine the value of the currency, and in the future, all the countries will have to pay attention to the currency. Look at my Fenghui Money Bank’s eyes! Japan has a lot of silver, which can save a lot of copper and iron resources for China. In the future, we can build more than 100,000 elite soldiers, so that they all have copper armor and can all shoot endless copper and iron arrows! Then they can conquer the whole world! You must remember that when the stage is not big enough, the Chinese countries will inevitably fight against each other and cause trouble on their families; but when the stage is big enough, the Chinese countries are the closest brothers and comrades-in-arms, because at that time they will be united in the foreign countries! What’s more, would I be a fool? The first country in China will only be Lao Qin, because I am here and the Bai Family Trading Company are here!"
