Chapter 847 Inflation
"How are you talking?" Zhang Mouzhi was unhappy and said angrily, "Turn your elbows out!"
"Dad, I'm telling the truth." Zhang Yuanxi said, "Besides, my current identity is the Secretary-General of Yinjiang Urban Planning and Development Bureau."
"Go, let's talk to me at the official style." Zhang Mouzhi didn't want to say more to Zhang Yuanxi, and then turned to Zhong Yi and said, "Zi Ren, is there really no room for negotiation for the advance payment?"
Zhong Yi asked back without answering, "Dad, then I'll ask you, are you optimistic about Yinjiang's future development space?"
"No, of course not." Zhang Mouzhi shook his head, "I have read the future development plan you wrote about Yinjiang. I deeply agree with this. I fully agree with your judgment. As Japan's blockade on China intensifies, various modern industrial products will become extremely short, so Yinjiang's future is worth looking forward to!"
"Isn't this going to end?" Zhong Yi said, "Then what else do you have to worry about?"
Zhang Mouzhi said with a bitter face: "No, isn't this still a risk?"
After pausing, Zhang Mouzhi continued, "What if, I just said, what if, if you are transferred and the person who takes over you as mayor refuses to admit it, or changes your development plan?"
"Dad, it turns out you are worried about this." Zhong Yi smiled, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"Is it different to say it sooner or later?" Zhang Mouzhi frowned, "This possibility still exists after all."
Zhong Yi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Dad, let me tell you something. After I arrived in Yinjiang, I wiped out the evil forces in Yinjiang with thunderous force, and destroyed an opium smuggling channel sent from Shanghai through Yinjiang to the hinterland of the Third War Zone. As a result, someone was unhappy and wanted to drive me away from Yinjiang."
"Opium smuggling?" Zhang Mouzhi said sternly, "These people have a lot of power!"
As a tycoon in the business world of the Republic of China, Zhang Mouzhi certainly knew how powerful the opium merchants were.
"That's natural." Zhong Yi said, "These people have a lot of energy. They directly asked Yu Fangqing, the president of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, to tell President Chang. Even President Chang agreed to remove my mayor."
"There is this?" Zhang Mouzhi's expression narrowed and said, "How did you settle it later?"
"How to settle it?" Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said, "Dad, and second brother, they are all family, so I won't lie to you anymore. I will tell you the truth. I have formed an interest alliance with the Minister of the US, Britain and France in Yinjiang. American Ambassador Jansen personally came forward to put pressure on President Chang, and this matter will be left alone!"
Zhang Mouzhi, Zhang Yuanxi and his son were dumbfounded when they heard this. Zhang Mouzhi was even more shocked. He really didn't expect that his young son-in-law had a foreign background.
But Zhang Mouzhi still felt a little incredible and said, "Zi Ren, is this true?"
Zhong Yi knew that if he didn't reveal some real information to him, he wouldn't believe it easily.
Zhong Yi whispered: "Dad, let's say that, there is no free lunch in the world. The reason why the American ambassador and the American ambassador to Yinjiang are willing to come forward for me is because they can get huge benefits from Yinjiang. Moreover, only I, Zhong Yi, can give this benefit, so they must keep me as the mayor."
"I understand!" Hearing this, Zhang Mouzhi finally felt completely relieved and said, "I will register the company tomorrow, and then move all the personnel and equipment of the Shanghai branch as soon as possible, at most half a month, oh no, at most one week, after one week, this area will start to be filled, and strive to initially complete the three-way within three months!"
At this time, Zhang Yuanxi suddenly said, "Zi Ren, there is still a problem."
Zhong Yi frowned, thinking that there were so many problems with the father and son.
However, Zhong Yi still asked patiently: "Second brother, please tell me if you have any questions."
"Zi Ren, don't be impatient." Zhang Yuanxi shook his head and continued, "My question is very important, and it is even directly related to the survival of your entire development plan!"
"Is that true?" Zhong Yi's face also became solemn, and he said, "What's the problem?"
"Inflation!" Zhang Yuanxi said, "Zi Ren, have you considered the issue of inflation?"
Zhang Mouzhi's face next to him also collapsed instantly. He had really ignored this issue before.
In the past two years, especially in the second half of this year, due to the extreme financial difficulties, the printing of fiat currency has begun to become increasingly unscrupulous, which has caused serious inflation.
Yinjiang is pretty good. Chongqing is a member of the National Government and gathers a large number of government agencies, which have hired a large number of civil servants. In addition, a large number of wealthy businessmen and political leaders fled from all over the country to Chongqing, thus bringing a large amount of fiat currency to Chongqing, which has caused unprecedentedly severe inflation.
Now, Chongqing's inflation has reached a terrifying one thousand percent!
This means that the purchasing power of 100 fiat currencies in Chongqing is only equivalent to the original ten fiat currencies!
Here, a serious problem is derived, that is, if the factory in Yinjiang Industrial Zone still uses fiat currency to purchase raw materials and settle with customers in the future, you will find that the business is indeed very prosperous, but you have never made any money and even lost all your capital.
Why is this? Because the National Government only took a few pieces of white paper and bought all the products they produced.
The National Government only needs to start the printing press to take all the industrial products produced in Yinjiang Industrial Park for itself without any effort.
The reason why Minister Kong and Minister Song have not made any movement yet is probably because they have made such a wishful thinking.
"Inflation? It turns out that my second brother is worried about this." Zhong Yi curled his lips slightly and said, "I have actually considered this for a long time, but I haven't raised it yet."
"Is that true?" Zhang Yuanxi said, "I wonder what Zi Ren planned?"
"It is actually very simple to say that it is restored to the use of silver dollars and copper coins, and it is linked to the US dollar exchange rate. One dollar is exchanged for four silver dollars and one silver dollar is exchanged for one thousand copper coins." Zhong Yi said lightly.
Zhong Yi was talking about calm and gentle, but the Zhang family’s father and son changed their faces after hearing this.
Zhang Mouzhi even said anxiously: "Zi Ren, is it appropriate for you to do this?"
Zhang Yuanxi also said: "Although silver dollars are still in circulation in Sichuan Province, Shanxi Province and Yunnan Province, Yinjiang is different after all, and this is the base camp of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium."
Zhong Yi said calmly: "Dad, and my second brother, don't worry, I don't have to come forward to this matter."
