Chapter 138 International Currency
The next day.
Luo Yin called Bart and asked him to contact the sugar merchants outside the city, saying that he wanted to know the current situation outside the city.
When the businessmen heard that the big boss of the tulip gum industry wanted to understand the situation, they immediately ran over and over again.
Luo Yin invited them at Miro Restaurant.
After a meal, Luo Yin roughly learned a lot about the situation outside the city.
Simply put, the commercial potential outside the city is still very high, but due to different currencies, it has not been discovered at all.
As for sugar and gem sugar, sales outside the city are now rising steadily, but due to currency reasons, some people want to buy it, but don’t want to spend this money in vain. In addition, there is a substitute for honey, so sales have not increased very much.
They repeatedly stated that if Luo Yin collects metal currency, sales will definitely increase greatly, and the tulip gum industry will definitely make money.
After understanding this information, Luo Yin had already made a decision in his mind.
“Yes, from now on, our tulip gum industry accepts metal currency transactions.”
Luo Yin suddenly said.
These words made everyone ecstatic.
They are actually a bit exaggerated. They don’t know whether the tulip gum industry can make money, but they can definitely make money by themselves.
However, Luo Yin doesn't care whether he makes money or not. As long as he doesn't lose money, he only wants metal currency now.
After saying goodbye to these happy businessmen, Luo Yin called Lun again.
Tell him that he had already prepared metal currency and that he should be able to make up a deal in less than two weeks. He asked Lun how he would accept it.
Lun said he would contact the company. In two weeks, a caravan would go to Qiongbi City. After Luo Yin verified their identities, he would just hand over the metal currency to them. They would bring the money to Lun.

After all, metal currency is not a paper currency, so it is not very convenient to carry, especially a large amount of metal currency. A person will definitely not be able to carry it, so he can only choose a caravan.
Of course, these cost money and are not cheap. If the two of them cooperate, they cannot be mocked when it comes to money.
Luo Yin said that there is no problem, this trip is just an experiment to see how the situation is.
If the final result meets Luo Yin's expectations, it is likely to be a long-term business, and it will be fine if he spends money to build a caravan by himself.
At this time, Lun said again. When he asked about metal currency yesterday, he unexpectedly learned that although the owners of the sugarcane plantation collected United coins, they prefer metal currency and Sirius coins. Because the indigenous people prefer metal currency, they also have metal currency and can trade with indigenous people.
If Luo Yin can trade in metal currency or Sirius coins, they will have a certain discount.
In this world, no currency can unify the whole world.
But if you don't have it at all, it's not entirely true.
Because before paper money was made, all countries used metal currencies.
Although metal currencies have different styles, credits and quality, their materials are basically the same, and they are all precious metals.
So to a certain extent, metal currency can be regarded as an international currency.
But there is a big problem with metal currencies, that is, they are too heavy to carry, and it is inconvenient to carry. After all, it is impossible to be all gold and silver coins, and copper coins are the mainstream of metal currencies.
Therefore, some merchants who do cross-regional trade will try to use the currency of major countries to trade, after all, major countries have guarantees.
But they also want metal currency, because some indigenous things are not used to them, so the currency of big countries is useless to them...
After knowing this, Luo Yin had another idea in his mind.
Since metal currency can be used to trade abroad and he needs some things from abroad, why not open a metal currency exchange bank?
Now many people outside Qiongbi City are reluctant to spend the handling fee to exchange for United Coins. They cannot consume a bunch of metal coins in their hands in the city.
So if Luo Yin opens a metal currency exchange bank at this time and provides a metal currency exchange joint currency business that does not charge a handling fee, wouldn’t he be able to gather a large number of metal currency!
But if there is no handling fee, he may lose money, but he should not lose too much.
Because the metal currency he received no longer needs to be exchanged for United coins, he can spend it directly abroad.
But there is another problem, that is, he can be sure that these metal currencies are valuable outside.
If the price is too low, for example, if the silver coins worth 500 United Coins in China and only 100 United Coins abroad, Luo Yin will lose a lot, after all, he will collect them at 500 yuan.
So, the key to this problem is to first look at the value of these metal currencies.
Opening a bank should be a good way, but you have to wait for Lun to estimate the value first.
After all, each country has different metal currency styles, different weights, and even different purity. It is impossible to measure the value of the metal itself alone.
Luo Yin suddenly thought of an unrealistic idea.
The rare metals in the world that are coins are brass, silver and gold.
If he could issue a currency that could be directly exchanged for brass, silver and gold, wouldn't it become an international currency?
But this is just thinking about it, it is actually unlikely. After all, how much rare metal is needed to store!
...
The announcement of the tulip gum industry's announcement of metal currency has not been widely spread. After all, no one in the city has stored metal currency and no one pays attention to it.
And outside the city, because of the promotion of these merchants, the tulip gum industry became much more famous.
But this matter cannot be rushed, so I can only take it slowly.
March 12.
Mayor Burton called Luo Yin and told Luo Yin that he had signed up for Luo Yin to run for parliament, and that the two sides would need to cooperate with each other in the next 45 days.
Luo Yin has no objection to this.
However, in the next few days, Luo Yin realized that running for parliament is not an easy task.
Every morning, he had to dress up carefully and then follow the city hall team to show up in various places in the city.
There is no need to give a speech or something, just show your face and let the citizens have an impression of him.
After all, you have to let them know which candidates are there. Although Luo Yin has a reputation now, he has not yet reached the point where he does not need to show up at all.
Unless he takes one or two million to provide benefits to the citizens of Qiongbi City...
As for outside the city, Burton's suggestion is that there is no need to go. As long as Luo Yin can get the votes in the city, it will be basically stable.
No one outside the city knew Luo Yin, and it was better to concentrate on the city if you spread it twice.
Just like those candidates outside the city, they don’t come to the city at all, they only do publicity outside the city.
