Chapter 35 Cross-border Assistance Plan (Part 2)
Patriarch Wei's words instantly made the atmosphere of the meeting become heavy.
Mr. Wang was silent for a long time, and then slowly said:
"There are many precedents for exchanging mineral resources for materials in China. For example, our country is currently assisting a region called Africa, which is a typical example of exchanging resources for capital.
However, compared to pure material assistance, I think what needs to be solved more is the basic productivity problem in Chi County. "
The ancestor of the Wei family looked puzzled:
"Basic productivity?"
Mr. Wang changed his sitting position on the chair and turned slightly sideways to Patriarch Wei:
“The concept of productivity is complex.
In layman's terms, productivity is the ability to make things.
Considering the current situation in Chi County, a less rigorous but straightforward explanation is: opportunities for work and production. "
The ancestor of the Wei family blinked and thought of something:
"I seem to understand a little bit what you mean. Is this what Patriarch Siming once said, 'It is better to teach a man how to fish than to teach him how to fish'?"
"That's more or less the truth." Mr. Wang didn't explain the difference between personal productivity and social productivity. After all, some concepts are not applicable to Chi County where the family is centralized, well, for the time being.
Then Mr. Wang continued:
"As long as you can understand the general meaning, China also has many means to help you get out of the dilemma of lack of productivity.
But before that, there is another prerequisite problem that needs to be solved. "
The ancestors of the Wei family and Wei Fan looked at each other and asked in unison: "What's the problem?"
Mr. Wang raised a finger:
“The monetary systems of the two worlds are completely different.
Therefore, before material exchange or commodity trade, we need to determine a trade equivalent. "
As he spoke, Mr. Wang picked up a teacup:
"for example.
Suppose the tea cup in my hand is a trade equivalent.
In the course of trade between you and us.
Your spiritual stones or other items must first be converted into as many cups as you want, and then we will exchange them with you for local materials equivalent to the number of cups. This is called the cup standard system.
If the cup is replaced by gold or silver, it is called a gold standard or a silver standard - I remember Comrade Wei Siming mentioned in the letter that they exchanged a gold bracelet for the initial capital, which shows that gold is Most of the Great Mo Realm can be regarded as some kind of equivalent, so you should be able to understand this conceptual issue. "
Patriarch Wei pondered for a while:
"I almost understand. So, Mr. Wang, do you mean to use gold as the equivalent of the transaction between the mainland and Chi County?"
To his surprise, Mr. Wang shook his head:
“The gold standard system may be suitable for the Great Mo Realm, but in China itself, the gold standard system has completely collapsed.
There are many reasons, the most important of which is that gold mining and reserves are limited, but the total volume of local commodities continues to increase every year, and ultimately far exceeds the equivalent measurement standard of gold.
Although I don’t know much about the amount of gold reserves in the Great Mo Realm, judging from the fact that Comrade Wei Siming and others can exchange a gold bracelet for starting capital, the amount of gold held in the Great Mo Realm should not be that rich.
So I have a suggestion.
In order to prevent the transaction between us from becoming a one-time deal, it is better to simply use Chinese currency as the equivalent. "
Perhaps because he didn't know much about economics, the ancestor of the Wei family didn't notice anything was wrong at all. He only thought about it for a few seconds and then readily agreed:
"no problem."
To be fair.
Mr. Wang's move caused a slight conceptual gap - of course, it was just a conceptual gap, not a white wolf with empty gloves.
After all, the final handover between the two parties is mainly based on physical objects.
The introduction of the concept of equivalent Chinese currency is more for the future layout of the rabbits.
After all, no matter how lacking in spiritual energy the Great Mo Realm is, it is still a huge world, and the value of development does not need to be talked about.
Considering the current shortage of engineering sand and soil in the local world, even digging in other worlds is a waste of money.
So from a long-term perspective, it is absolutely impossible for the rabbits to only focus on a small place like Chi County.
Since they are not prepared to leave in one shot, the rabbits naturally have to prepare in many aspects - the right to define the basic equivalent currency is one of them.
The concept of currency may not be easy for some people to understand, but it is easy to understand if you put it another way - you move Kang Shuaifu's processing factory to Damojie, and a barrel of instant noodles will be sold for ten baskets of soil. Three years later, it will be It’s the Dragon King, no, it’s the next tobacco group!
This is the contrast between productivity and resources.
After all, as a world of immortals and heroes, where everyone pursues the pursuit of immortality, the social structure of the Great Mo Realm must and can only be pyramid-shaped.
It is also commonly known as the human world.
In this world that exploits the people at the bottom to support the superstructure, the basic areas of people's livelihood are bound to be riddled with holes.
Based on the decades of experience that the Rabbits have gained, it is not particularly difficult to have a certain say in people's livelihood in the Great Mo World.
Clothing, food, housing, transportation, and prostitution. Well, using these five trades for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, you can develop quickly if you master any of them.
Wait for the day when the common people in the Great Mo Realm spend Hua Xia coins, live in Country Garden, wear Anta Li Ning, eat Kang Shuaifu, and drink Jiaduobao Laoshan White Flower Snake Grass Water.
How many resources could the rabbit get in exchange for that time?
What?
You ask, why do rabbits control these lifebloods?
Of course it's for self-protection, but is it still for the sake of hegemony?
What kind of bad intentions can a weak and weak little rabbit have?
However, in the process of self-protection, we provide some relief and support to the suffering people in other worlds.
It's normal and reasonable to share Chinese food and culture with them, and also to practice immortality and so on, right?
all in all.
After confirming that both parties will use Chinese currency as the trade equivalent, the mission of the External Relations Department has been completed more than half.
Mr. Wang was in a good mood and ate a Xu Fuji hard candy which was extremely rare:
"Old Patriarch Wei.
The specific value of the spirit stones will be explained to you by my colleagues from the Department of Commerce, and they will also give you a detailed inventory of local materials.
The Chinese currency prices corresponding to those materials will be marked on it, and you can exchange them at the nominal prices.
Other than that.
In order to express our sincerity, we will give you 60 tons of rice, 24 tons of vegetables and 8 tons of pork for free.
The population of your city is approximately more than 10,000, excluding wealthy families.
For the rest, each person receives 1.5 kilograms of rice, 300 grams of vegetables and 100 grams of meat per day, which is enough to feed the whole city for seven or eight days.
Considering the freshness of the ingredients, vegetables and pork will be delivered in batches. "
Since their ancestors were travelers from China, the old family leader Wei and Wei Fan were no strangers to the concepts of 'ton' and 'gram'.
Wei Fan made some simple calculations in his mind and was immediately overjoyed:
"That's great. Now that the beast tide has just passed, the supplies in the city are really lacking. With the help from the mainland, we can finally save a few people from dying this time."
After Wei Fan finished speaking, Mr. Wang pondered for a while and continued:
"Master Wei, do you remember the productivity issue I mentioned before?
I would like to ask if you have any intention to be a contractor? "
Get more recommendation votes, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
