Homo sapiens

Before leaving the temporary hospital, the security guard guarding the door reminded:

"The test report in your hand can be used in Hongsawady, but it is only valid for one year. When it expires, remember to go to Qingye Hospital for another test. The test fee is 100 gold yuan."

"100 gold yuan? New coins have been issued?" Fang Xinwu asked curiously.

The guard nodded: "Each bank in Mandalay can already exchange gold, but you can only go to Qingye Bank to exchange gold."

"Thanks."

Fang Xinwu quickly took his two younger brothers to the parking lot to pick up his off-road vehicle.

When I came to a bank in Mandalay City, I found a lot of people queuing up. Fang Xinwu also had a bank account and deposits in Hongsawady.

Now that Hongsawady uses gold dollars uniformly, and the gold dollars are linked to gold, he naturally wants to replace the kyats in his hands with gold dollars.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Fang? Are you coming over to exchange for new coins?"

A voice sounded from behind, and Fang Xinwu turned around and found that it was Zhang Dasong whom he had met at Lao Ma's Sichuan Food Restaurant.

He smiled and replied: "The new coins can be exchanged for gold, and I don't want to miss it."

Zhang Dasong shook his head: "You can indeed exchange for gold. You need to go to Qingye Bank to make an appointment in advance, and only accept exchanges between 100 grams and 10,000 grams at a time. For more than 10,000 grams, you need to report to the Hongsawady Financial Management Bureau. After applying, each person can only redeem a maximum of 120,000 grams of gold per year.”

"I see, it seems to be to limit the large-scale outflow of gold."

Zhang Dasong reminded: "Not only that, the gold dollar does not accept currency swaps. Hongsawady's international trade only uses gold dollars, but I heard that companies can use the green channel to obtain special large-amount exchanges."

"Are there any restrictions on the export of gold?" Fang Xinwu asked.

Zhang Dasong shook his head: "That's it? Qingye Bank has minted a large number of 100-gram gold coins and stacked them in banks in various port cities. If you want to take gold out of the country, they are even willing to send security guards to escort you to the border. I A friend returned home yesterday with 10 kilograms of gold."

"It seems they have a lot of gold reserves!"

"At least about a hundred tons." Zhang Dasong said with a smile.

After converting all the kyats in his account and body into gold dollars, Fang Xinwu's account had a total of 830,000 gold dollars.

He didn't go to exchange gold immediately. After all, Zhang Dasong had just said that exchange required application and reservation, and the port bank could also exchange it. It was not inconvenient or unsafe to carry a lot of gold with him.

The younger brother, Maung Ho, was holding a hundred-dollar bill in his hand and looking at it, as well as a large stack of small-denomination bills such as fifty-dollar, twenty-dollar, and ten-dollar bills.

The gold dollar currently has eight banknotes: one dime, five cents, one yuan, five yuan, ten yuan, twenty yuan, fifty yuan, and one hundred yuan.

Fang Xinwu also looked at the hundred-dollar bill in his hand. This bill had a texture similar to plastic. On the front was a star map of the solar system and the number 100, and on the back was a complex double helix gene pattern.

Other banknotes also have Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Earth, and the Moon on the front, but on the back there is a unified double helix gene sequence diagram, but the colors are different.

Fang Xinwu found that many locals who changed to new coins were not in a hurry to exchange for gold.

The reason for this situation is that Hongsawady has announced that it is strictly prohibited to use other foreign currencies and old-fashioned kyats in the territory.

Large groups including Qingye Group, Hongsawady Development Group, and Hongsawady Mining Group have required their industries to prohibit the acceptance of foreign currencies and old-fashioned kyats.

In other words, it will be very difficult to hold foreign currencies against gold dollars.

In fact, the Hongsawady branch secretly promoted the limited gold standard, which was a last resort. On the one hand, Hongsawady's currency did not have enough international purchasing power, and it did not have enough industry and mineral support to obtain enough foreign exchange.

As for the money seized, it is only enough for the next two to three years.

Moreover, if you trade with American swords, the consequence is that you will be taken advantage of by America, and you have to be careful of being harvested by the other party. What's more, the relationship between America and Hongsawati is very bad now. They were forced to move their capitals before. Using the other party currency and the international monetary settlement system, the risks are simply too great.

Therefore, the Hongsawady Branch simply took the initiative and directly promoted the limited gold standard. Anyway, it could obtain dozens of tons of gold every year, which was enough to maintain the strength of the gold dollar in a short period of time.

In fact, countries now know that Hongsawady is pursuing the gold standard.

Even America doesn't care about this. With the one to two hundred tons of gold reserves in Hongsawady, the best it can do is to enclose the territory for itself.

But the countries and companies that refuse to trade with Hongsawady do not, because no one is willing to refuse this kind of hard currency. After all, gold is better than a beautiful knife running a nuclear-powered money printing machine.

As long as Hongsawady does not prohibit the exchange of gold dollars for gold, even if there are exchange restrictions, many companies and countries are still willing to accept it.

Especially in China, Dongfeng Group and Hongsawady Mining Group signed a contract for 20,000 trucks, a truck production line, and a tractor production line, with a total contract value of 8.6 billion gold yuan.

In response, Aoba Bank stated that it could open a special green channel for Dongfeng Group and send a special plane to transport the gold to a designated airport in China.

Obviously the allure of gold is very powerful.

As for foreign purchases of materials and products from Hongsawady, they only accept gold dollars or direct exchange of goods. Regarding the credit currencies of various countries, Hongsawati said that I have no interest.

Faced with this situation, China was also somewhat helpless.

They actually want to pull the gold back directly, but once they pull the gold back, they may face insufficient gold dollars in future transactions with companies in Hongsawady and need to barter.

Under forced circumstances, the 2.5 billion gold yuan paid in advance for Dongfeng Group's transaction was taken over by Bank of China, and a special gold dollar settlement office was set up to manage gold dollars from Hongsawady.

Fortunately, the gold dollar is linked to gold, which also makes its exchange rate very easy to calculate. It can be directly converted into the currencies of various countries according to the international gold price.

In other words, the indirect exchange rate of the gold dollar to the Chinese dollar at this time is probably around 500:346.

The indirect exchange rate of gold dollar to US dollar is about 500:50.

Qingye Bank issued a total of 50 billion gold dollars, which is equivalent to 100 tons of gold, for the initial replacement of kyats and foreign trade.

But in fact, Aoba Bank still has more than 170 tons of gold reserves that have not been used.

After deciding to push for the gold standard, the Hongsawady branch has opened a large number of gold seaweed farms along the southern coast.

Around March this year, these seaweed farms will be gradually put into production, and approximately 3 to 5 tons of gold can be obtained every month.

Those golden seaweeds can also be used as raw materials for methane fermentation plants, providing a large amount of methane to Hongsawady.

In order to avoid exposing the relationship between Qingye Group and Homo sapiens, this cooperation project was carried out in the name of Hongsawady Development Group and Jade Energy, a subsidiary of Homo sapiens, formed a joint venture between the two parties, Hongsawady Jade Energy Branch. .

Many people in the outside world are betting on how long Hongsawady's gold standard can last.

However, the executives of Hongsawady Branch are very clear that with a guaranteed circulation of 2 billion gold dollars per month, the gold standard in Hongsawady will be very strong.

What's more, the gold dollar is not a complete gold standard, but a limited gold standard.

As long as Hongsawady has enough advantageous industries in the future, the value of the gold dollar will be difficult to shake.

Just when Fang Xinwu was looking at the new banknotes.

In Siam next door to Hongsawady.

Some people also got freshly minted gold dollar notes. Victor appeared in Bangkok in a low-key manner, and he appeared in a manor of the Xu family.

The last time the Xu brothers died suddenly, after more than half a year of fighting, during which even the Xu brothers' father suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, in the end it was Xu Xuexi, the third-bedroom boy, who had the last laugh.

Unfortunately, after this brutal internal fighting, the Xu family's vitality was severely damaged, and many non-core industries were divided up by other families.

Now Xu Xuexi is more eager and cooperative with the cooperation proposed by Victor.

"Mr. Victor, please rest assured that Mesa Pharmaceutical has returned to normal. I will arrange the production of stamps as soon as possible."

Victor, who was chewing his cigar, waved his hand: "There is no rush about the stamps. There is some trouble in the Golden Triangle and Old Street. I need you to help me with another thing."

"I wonder what Victor needs to do next?" Xu Xuexi did not fully agree.

"Very simple, that's it." Victor took out a wad of bills from his briefcase.

Xu Xuexi took a look: "Isn't this a gold dollar?"

"This is gold, doesn't Mr. Xu want to get rich?" Victor asked with a smile.

Xu Xuexi picked up a hundred-dollar bill. The familiar plastic texture was similar to the hundred-dollar Thai baht in Siam. Then he asked with some uncertainty: "Making counterfeit banknotes?"

"No! No! We are just increasing their circulation. How about we get 30-70 cents for the gold exchanged?"

"this……"

"Don't worry, my friend, this is Siam and they can't control it."

That devil-like temptation made Xu Xuexi quickly give up the struggle: "I can cooperate, but I want 50-50."

But Victor waved his hand: "My friend, you don't have many friends in Hongsawady. If you can bring out 10 influential partners, then I will give you five to five."

Hearing this question, Xu Xuexi also frowned. The Xu family naturally had friends in Hongsawady, but they were only two or three small groups.

Victor shrugged: "It seems you don't have enough friends, so just open a money printing factory!"

"Huh... ok, how many will be printed in the first batch?" Xu Xuexi compromised.

"5 billion, this is a relatively safe number."

Xu Xuexi was also an activist and nodded immediately: "I will immediately arrange for people to study counterfeiting."
