Blackstone Code

It took two days for the bank to agree to give Lynch a loan, but it would take another day to actually loan the money.

This also made Lynch realize that Lemar National Bank's liquidity was close to drying up.

They don't know where they got the money, and it might be the last bit they have left.

In fact, what happened in Lemar also happened in the Federation.

Capital transferred outwards, a large number of factories closed down, went bankrupt, workers lost their jobs, and the crime rate increased...

The federal response at that time could be said to be very rapid, but there was still no good solution.

In the end, we can only cooperate with the local capitalists in the Federation and use some despicable means to keep some foreign capital and industries in the Federation and not give them the opportunity to escape.

The Federation has such confidence. It is a huge country with a sufficient population and army. .

Population represents the future.

Nagaril has a large population, and in just a few years, Nagaril's business has begun to take shape.

There is no way, there are too many people, and if each person spends one dollar, it is equivalent to the federal people spending four dollars each.

It seems that the per capita income in Nagaril is very low, and it seems that no one can afford to spend money, but when the number of people increases, the final effect is still the same!

Lemar lacks a population. It is a small country with only a few million people. Once foreign capital fled, the local financial and economic market, which was already inactive, began to shrink rapidly. The national bank had no money. This is not a joke or a story, it is a fact. !

Now, Lynch has stepped on this fact again.

The next day, when the funds arrived, Lynch requested to withdraw the money on the grounds of "paying daily wages" and "purchasing building materials".

The National Bank agreed quickly this time. Anyway, the money has been withdrawn, and it is just for Lynch's loan. There is no reason to continue to be stuck, and there is no other value in being stuck.

And Lynch will not withdraw so much at once...

But on this afternoon, something unexpected happened!

The incident happened on a construction site on a small island. Lynch negotiated with these workers when he hired them. The salary standards for the employment were daily and weekly.

In terms of daily wages, each person only has a salary of three and a half federal soles per day, which is equivalent to about two hundred and twenty ares.

Due to Lemar's economic backwardness, the per capita wage level here is also very low. It is slightly better than the situation in Nagaril, but the good ones are given priority.

Two hundred and twenty ares, which is not a small sum of money to many locals, is enough for them to live here.

In addition, the local situation in Lemar is not very good now. After the foreign capital fled, the factories were not open, and people did need some jobs, so a large number of locals began to work for Lynch.

No work experience or ability is required, you just need to follow the company's arrangements and clean up the islands one by one, and you can get paid on a daily basis. There is no better job than this!

Yes, day end.

In fact, according to the salary standards set by Lynch for these people, if someone is willing to pay weekly, they can get a salary of approximately 1,800 ares.

The daily income is only about one thousand five hundred and forty, which is equivalent to working an extra day and a half.

But even so, many people still choose daily settlement, and less than 40% choose weekly settlement.

The thing happened during the evening salary issue.

One worker believed that the money paid to him by the company was counterfeit currency, so he went to the person who paid him a salary and asked him to exchange it for real currency.

This matter quickly reached Lynch's ears, and those he brought with him thought that it was possible that Lemar National Bank had secretly tricked them.

While Lynch arranged for someone to issue federal Sol to the man, he asked them to bring over the "counterfeit bills."

In fact, he had never considered these things before, but now that things have happened, if the National Bank really gave counterfeit banknotes, then he would not mind letting the other party feel what it means to be unreasonable.

The federal combined fleet has not returned yet!

The next morning, Lynch saw the new bills, which were described as counterfeit.

The person who sent the money was someone from Blackstone Security Company. Lin Qi looked at the dozens of wads of bills in the suitcase and looked up at the employee behind the box.

The employee seemed to be able to sense Lynch's thoughts, and he took the initiative to explain, "I also collected some cash from this batch from other places, and they are all the same."

"There is only one person who thinks it is a counterfeit currency, and others think they can't see any change."

Lin Qi nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work. Bring me the person who said these are counterfeit coins."

Then he sat behind the table and picked up a wad of bills.

The moment he got the banknotes, he knew they were genuine.

This is not some metaphysics, but the special feel brought by special paper and ink pigments.

Currency will continue to be used due to its liquidity. In this era, there is no such thing as electronic payment. Physical currency is the main payment and settlement commodity, and there is no one.

In order to ensure that these currencies will not be worn or damaged due to long-term use during use, its carrier, that is, paper, and the pigments used for printing are very special.

The fiber in this paper will be very strong, no matter it is the currency paper of any country, strong means that it is not easy to break.

When you touch it, it will not give you the "brittleness" and "softness" of ordinary paper, it has a certain degree of toughness!

Next is dye.

The dye is not very bright, and you can still feel that it has a layer of oiliness, but it does not accumulate like ordinary oily paints!

The most important thing is that this is woodblock printing!

In this era when technology is not yet developed enough, the templates used to print currency are basically pure copper engravings. Each line is actually a yin and yang line carved on a copper plate!

It is not easy to make such a copper plate - for individuals or ordinary organizations, not everyone can solve these problems at the same time.

This also leads to the fact that although counterfeit coins exist, they can be easily distinguished.

Not long after, the worker who was the first to complain that these coins were counterfeit came to Lynch's office.

The worker looked to be in his twenties, a little reserved, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

Lynch asked him to sit down, "Don't be nervous, I have a question..." The young man nodded quickly, and Lynch asked directly, "Why do you think the money is fake?"

"You know, we took this money out of the National Bank, and if it's counterfeit, that means the National Bank is printing counterfeit money, but it doesn't look like counterfeit money..."

The young man looked at the money for a while, probably thinking about something. Lynch added, "No one else will know what you said!"

Everyone left the room, and the young man confided the truth to Lynch.

"Mr. Lynch, I once copied the 100-yuan Ares..." he said with some embarrassment.

The young man has loved painting since he was a child. His parents, neighbors, and school teachers were all amazed by his talent.

If he was born in a wealthy family, he may have held his own personal exhibition and began to shine in this field.

But he was just a poor child from an ordinary family, and painting could not make his life better. As he grew up, he gradually realized the cruelty of reality.

After an argument, he locked himself in his room and tried to convince his parents with a paintbrush.

But it's a pity that although the money he drew is very similar to the real money, there are still some differences.

In the end, he chose to bow to reality, completely gave up his ideal of becoming a great painter, and started working.

It was also because he had copied the hundred-dollar bills in currency like Ares before, so he knew the details of the one-hundred-dollar bills very well.

When he got the money, he immediately discovered something was wrong. For example, the positions of some patterns had changed, and the angles of some paintings had changed.

From this, he believed that the money was counterfeit.

He even reminded Lynch, "Sir, have you noticed?"

"The printing date of this money is this year, but it is only April..."

This sentence gave Lynch a lot of inspiration. He encouraged the young man with a few words and expressed the hope that if he could see the other party's paintings, some federal people might be interested.

At the same time, he gave the young man some money to buy canvas and paint for painting.

After the young people left, Lynch asked people to start collecting news last year and this year about additional issuance, printing, or news related to currency revision and recycling.

Generally, there are prerequisites for the circulation of new currency. For example, if the country believes that the currency currently in circulation can no longer meet the needs of market allocation, it will issue additional currency.

They will announce to the public whether this additional issuance is policy-based or circulating, and whether it is guaranteed or unguaranteed.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another situation where the old currency has been in circulation for too long and the rate of damage has begun to increase. In order to prevent these old currencies that have been circulating for a long time from affecting the circulation and use of currency.

Recycling of old currency on the market is also allowed.

If part of the currency in circulation has been recycled, then part of it will naturally have to be taken out, and these situations must be announced in the newspaper!

Lynch did not seek confirmation from Lemar National Bank, which may allow the other party to make a temporary announcement. Once the announcement is issued, these things will have no use value.

After the staff reviewed a large amount of information from last year to this year and got some answers from some related but not bank staff, it is certain that Lemar has not announced the issuance of additional or new currency in several years!
