The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"This cabinet meeting mainly discusses the situation of Zhao Guo and South Korean companies." Shang Wen said that he extracted some of the reports he had collected into briefs, copied a few copies and then handed them to several cabinet members.

"Look at the information first, and then explain the specific situation." Shang Wen said to everyone. Everyone looked down at the information. Meng Yi has already read the information. He knows what the content of the information is. Qin’s banks and major companies have adopted the method of capital export. A lot of cooperation and mergers in various countries have occurred, and such cooperation and mergers have brought about the company’s business. Vigorous development. In the development of development, there have also been some disputes caused by the purchase of shares, or incidents caused by uneven distribution of shares. Shangwen collected all these incidents into a memorandum. In addition to these, there are a large number of cases of company mergers.

"What does the prime minister mean?" the Minister of Finance asked after a quick scan.

"What do you mean?" Shang Wen asked rhetorically instead of answering.

"I don't understand. These are corporate merger cases. There are many such cases, and the registrant of the share owner has changed a lot. There should be nothing like this." The Minister of Finance said to Shang Wen.

"The number of our enterprises has remained average and the growth has been average, but the number of enterprises abroad has increased a lot. In other words, our enterprises have appeared in a large number of cooperative enterprises or affiliated enterprises abroad." The Minister of Finance analyzed.

"En." Shang Wen nodded. What the Minister of Finance said is correct.

"This is indeed the case. The number of Qin's foreign companies has increased a lot. In order to cooperate with companies from other countries, it is also necessary to establish such a company. After the establishment of the company, the cooperation can complete specific matters. There are some special tax regulations, we can pay taxes, but the amount is relatively small, and the cooperation with nobles, some tax can be reduced or exempted, so a large number of Qin enterprises began to set up factories abroad. Therefore, the number of domestic enterprises in Qin has not It did not increase much. But this does not mean that Qin’s corporate competitiveness has declined. On the contrary, Qin has completed the optimization of its own enterprises through internal competition. Some companies have expanded their scale in some places and added production lines. As a result, Qin's production capacity has greatly improved a lot.

"I don't know what the prime minister told us to pay attention to?" the bank minister asked exactly this time.

"My opinion is that finance. Or specific cooperation matters come up." Shang Wen said.

Everyone look at me, I look at you, I want them to still not understand why Shangwen did this.

"Everyone can think about it specifically," Shang Wen said.

"At present, the speed of Qin's enterprise expansion can be said to be very fast. But why enterprises can expand so fast? I think to a large extent it has a lot to do with Qin's financial policy. The specific explanation is that enterprises have Expand with sufficient funds. If there is no sufficient funds, expand, build factories abroad, or increase the scale of production. Such things simply cannot be done." Shang Wen said to everyone. Everyone nodded.

"You have also seen that cooperation between enterprises is very common, which shows a phenomenon, that is, all countries urgently need a lot of funds to expand, or cooperate with Qin State to introduce related technology, and our Qin State's The enterprise also hopes to open the market of the other party urgently. Under such request, our capital scale has increased a lot." Shang Wen said.

"The current issue of Qin's banknotes is still insufficient compared to Qin's, because there are many places where the development is not sufficient. The reason for the insufficiency is that these places do not have sufficient funds to guarantee. And at this time, we have increased a lot of currency. Markets, for example, Zhao State and Wei State. The demand for paper money in various countries is still very large." Shang Wen stood up and said.

Everyone nodded. They don't know what kind of relationship is there, what kind of influence such a relationship has on Qin State, and how the prime minister thought of this. This makes it hard for them to believe.

"What I want to explain is the question of Qin's money supply. Is it currently Qin's currency tightening or currency inflation? What is the demand for currency?" Shang Wen said at this time.

Hearing this, everyone understood what Shang Wen wanted to explain. The reason behind the expansion of Qin State enterprises is the support of banks. Banks have provided a large amount of loans. With the support of loans, major enterprises can quickly expand in scale or expand abroad. They can cooperate through enterprises. Or it is the way of merging companies to export foreign capital, and behind these, if there is no bank support, they simply do not have such sufficient funds to carry out.

At the same time, Qin’s economists, especially some economic colleges and universities, have studied Qin’s monetary policy. Their direction is that the emergence of Qin’s banknotes has a great advantage. This advantage lies in the ability to scale and control. Issuance, and the liquidity is more effective than the gold and silver currency used before. In addition, Qin’s gold reserves have become the first in the Warring States period, and this position is difficult to shake, so the Qin’s economist, the results of the research are right Qin's banknotes are very favorable and require Qin to promote the banknotes on a large scale. Shangwen’s monetary policy also has this tendency. Qin’s not-so-simple interest rate cut is actually the biggest supporter behind the promotion of Qin’s banknotes. Qin hopes to see the huge benefits brought by the promotion of banknotes.

However, it should be pointed out that what Shangwen urgently needs to see is the balance between the supply of money and the demand for money. The economist Qin Guo has just touched on this. This shows that Qin's economic research has penetrated into the field of currency, and Qin will have a deeper understanding of the banknotes he uses.

Paper money has various advantages, but the disadvantages cannot be ignored. At present, the Qin State Enterprise is continuously expanding, and this momentum is very violent. At this time, Shang Wen is a little worried. He doesn't know whether to continue this way or take steps to control it. So Shangwen wants to use this question to elicit monetary policy issues.

"Money supply, this is a new concept." The Minister of Finance said after listening.

"For us, such a new concept has a lot of things that we haven't understood yet. For example, how to calculate the supply? There are many solutions. It is not clear which solution we use, and there are many directions for supply. We still don’t know the specifics.” The Minister of Finance said some of the issues, and it is indeed the case. The specific situation really embarrassed the finances, because the issue is different from the perspective of the issue of supply used by economists of various schools of thought. They are all different, so the plans are different. Because these plans are reasonable, the Minister of Finance is very embarrassed.

"Well, let's talk about whether the current supply of Qin's money supply exceeds demand, or the demand continues to be strong. Under such a strong situation, what should Qin pay attention to?" Shangwen changed the topic at this time and asked which one to use. Shangwen himself does not know the plan. He is not born in statistics. He does not know how economists get it, how to calculate the specific figures, and which figures represent what kind of situation.

"En. I think that the current money supply in Qin is far from enough." At this time, the bank minister first spoke.

"Our situation in the Western Regions is not very optimistic. The major banks in the Western Regions need a lot of currency. With the existence of a large number of city banks, this money supply problem is still insufficient. In addition, it seems that it was because of Zhao Guojin's situation before. A large amount of funds were withdrawn from the northern regions of the Western Regions. Some of our railway projects lacked funds. Although in the end, the Federal State Assembly issued a check for the use of large amounts of funds and the bill of exchange business ended, but this also shows that the supply of funds is very tight ." said the bank minister.

"Not only these, but also the state of Zhao. The situation of the state of Zhao also requires a lot of funds. I heard that just a royal bank needs more than one million funds, and a total of more than 300 nobles have pledged their hands. A large amount of gold has raised this amount of funds. As a result, the demand for funds is very large. I heard that the recent developments in South Korea are also very tense." said the bank minister.

"Wei's demand is also great." The Minister of Economy also said at this time.

"I heard that our Li's arsenal built the bullet factory in Wei State. The Northern Wei State Government welcomed it very much and gave it a three-year tax-free concession. This is a good thing for our Qin State enterprise, but, The pressure behind the banks is great, especially the current financial pressure." The Minister of Economy said.

"Yes, the current interest rate still has a certain pressure on the repayment of enterprises, the 2% loan interest rate. I think it should be lowered." The Minister of Economy suggested.

Shangwen nodded at this time, saying that he would consider this matter. If you continue to borrow funds according to the current loan interest rate, the cost will still appear a bit high, and the amount of currency supplied by the bank is also very limited. Judging from the information provided by the various ministers, Qin’s current capital is not blooming more at once, but selectively starting in one or two main directions, and the liquidity is very strong. Among them, the role of banks is very large.

The western regions of the Qin Kingdom and the northern states need a lot of funds to carry out railway projects. The funds immediately gathered in this direction, and then in the direction of Zhao Guo. A large amount of funds suddenly went to Zhao Guo. Such a large liquidity must have been before. There won't be any, but now the bank only needs a telegram, and the train can quickly complete the transportation. The convenience of information and logistics facilitate the circulation of funds.

The meeting is still going on. Many things need to be discussed in detail. Shangwen would like to consult all parties, because the issue of money supply must be taken seriously.

Inside Li Xin's forward command.

"The intelligence currently collected shows that these commercial armed forces have not yet entered the core area of ​​Dawan." Li Xin's Chief of Staff shook his head and said.

"En." Li Xin nodded.

"The resistance encountered was not very fierce. The specific terrain is also unclear, and the General Staff Section did not give a clear reminder." Li Xin said to the Chief of Staff.

"Sir." At this moment an intelligence officer came in anxiously.

"This is a report we have just received expeditiously. The above shows that one of our commercial forces may have suffered heavy losses." The staff officer who came in said anxiously. Because of the urgency, I even forgot to salute.

Li Xin took the report and looked at it without speaking. The report details the findings. At the same time, he made reasonable speculations based on these findings.

"You go down first." Li Xin handed it to the chief of staff after reading the report. The staff officer saluted and left. The chief of staff looked quickly.

"If this is the case. It's possible." The chief of staff didn't know what to say at this time.

"What do you mean?" Li Xin said.

"One of our commercial armed forces can be attacked, so other commercial armed forces can also be attacked. Such losses are becoming more and more troublesome for us." Li Xin said.

"En. There is one, there is the second." said the chief of staff.

"Yes, but these are commercial armed forces. They are not regular troops and do not take our control." Li Xin continued.

"The most fringe part of our defense line is the mountain pass to the west. After passing this place, we will not have the right to use our forces." Li Xin said.

"We have to report such things to the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense. These things are what they do, and we can't solve specific problems." The Chief of Staff said.

"Wait, I think we should draw up a plan to be able to deal with such a plan." Li Xin said at this time.

"I think we should send a telegram first and send it when we plan to show that this matter is very serious." said the chief of staff.

"En. I think this is the case." Li Xin thought for a while and thought it was OK.

"I'm going to send a telegram now." The chief of staff immediately left to send a telegram.

And Li Xin carefully studied all the contents mentioned in the report. He tried his best not to give up any signs.

Inside the staff.

"The one who should come will come after all," Wang Jian said after reading the telegram.

"Yes." Yang Duanhe nodded.

"Our commercial armed forces first entered, and it has been a long time now. If Dawan is still unresponsive at this time, then it should really be annihilated." Yang Duanhe said.

"The crux of the problem is not here, we should think about it, what should we do next?" Wang Jian asked at this time.

"We don't know much about the situation, and it's not comprehensive enough. We don't know the specific topography, topography, and how many people and forces the country has." Wang Jian said worriedly.

"This is very unfavorable to us." Yang Duanhe said.

"But we can take some measures to deal with such a situation." Yang Duanhe said while looking at the report.

"Tell me what you think." Wang Jian said.

"My opinion is that if I am a commercial militant, I need a stronghold. This stronghold has certain communication capabilities, and can maintain contact, and has a certain degree of self-defense ability. In this case, when these commercial militants encounter a sudden attack At least there is a place to retreat. Such a place of retreat is very important to them. Moreover, the existence of this stronghold can store a lot of materials. In the future, it may develop into an important commercial stronghold." Yang Duanhe said.

"En. I think the idea is good. Tell the Ministry of National Defense and let the Ministry of National Defense do it." Wang Jian said.

"These commercial armed forces are beyond our control. Only the Ministry of National Defense has this authority." Wang Jian said.

Within the Ministry of Defense.

"Huh, something like this still happened." Wei Liao shook his head and said to Meng Tian. Wei Liao specially brought Meng Tian.

"One of our commercial forces has been severely attacked. Such attacks should have long been accustomed to us. However, this time has a different meaning. The Prime Minister's Office hopes to develop the market value of the Western Regions, that is, we are dumping goods The main place is mainly firearms." Wei Liao said.

"If this is the case, such an attack shows that our commercial armed forces have encountered real power for so long. There is no movement in Dawan. It is too easy for us." Meng Tian said.

"En." Wei Liao nodded.

"For such a thing, I looked at the report." Meng Tian put the report down and said.

"If it is based on the requirements of the Prime Minister's Office, I think that the commercial armed forces that go deep into the country still lack something. For example, they can choose some traffic arteries or establish some commercial strongholds at the main traffic pass. These business strongholds are for us. Significantly." Meng Tian said.

"On the one hand, these strongholds can provide military assistance. For example, when we encounter an attack, we can retreat nearby and retreat to these strongholds. We operate strongholds with many defensive weapons, such as mines, barbed wire. Artillery, machine guns, etc. These weapons Enough to deal with all possibilities head-on." Meng Tian said.

"On the other hand, these strongholds can provide necessary commercial value, hoard a large amount of materials, and at the same time can radiate to the surrounding areas and become our main commercial strongholds." Meng Tian suggested.

"En." Wei Liao nodded.

"Yes, what we need is such a stronghold. Judging from the initial report, we did not have such a stronghold. This has led to attacks on our commercial forces. I am afraid there will be more and more such attacks, but if We have a commercial base and a stable rear base. With such a base, we don't need to be afraid of anything. We can expand with great fanfare and attack the outside world." Wei Liao said.

"It's just that there is one more problem, we probably haven't noticed yet." Meng Tian said at this time.

"These commercial armed forces are too scattered. If they are too scattered, it will be difficult to concentrate their forces. This is different from the military. The military has unified command and unified dispatch, but they are commercial armed forces. It is difficult for commercial armed forces. Control. This is what I worry about. We must solve these problems in a unified way before bigger problems arise." Meng Tian proposed.

"En." Wei Liao nodded. This problem is really serious. There is a fundamental difference between commercial armed forces and military forces. It is certainly feasible to establish commercial strongholds, but the mobilization and some common defense issues are all very big issues. The military does not have this problem, but the commercial armed forces have such a problem. Their armed forces belong to different trading companies. These trading companies have their own interests. Sometimes, the problem can be solved by rescue for military purposes. However, if there are interests, the problem will become extremely complicated and the situation is very difficult. The simple thing is that. Because the two sides have a competitive business relationship, the military issue is broken. The Department of Defense must deal with such things.

"Do you have any solution?" Wei Liao asked at this time.

"No." Meng Tian shook his head.

"I am a soldier, this is a business issue, and there is a big difference between a commercial armed and an army. We don't have the businessmen's thinking and perspective from a business perspective. It is difficult for us to understand what these businessmen think about in this direction. Speaking of.

"En." Wei Liao nodded.

"We must think of a way to solve this problem." Wei Liao said to Meng Tian.

"I think we can consult the prime minister, or the prime minister will have a good solution," Meng Tian suggested.

"En. But we still try our best to find a way. If we can't figure out a good way, our Ministry of National Defense is really not a Ministry of National Defense." Wei Liao said to Meng Tian.

"En. Okay, I will try my best to do this." Meng Tian said to Wei Liao.

Inside Li Xin's forward command.

"We can build a row of strongholds along a major traffic road, and the existence of these strongholds can solve many problems." Li Xin said.

"We have an advantage in defense. Our defensive weapons are so powerful that they can't be resisted by Dawan. Our stronghold will be able to see you." Li Xin said confidently. Li Xin quickly thought of such a way to establish a business base. Because this is military common sense.

"However, there is a problem." The chief of staff looked at the map questioningly at this time and said.

"Commercial armed forces are not the same as our armed forces." The chief of staff looked at Li Xin and said.

"They do not have a unified command organization, logistical supplies, and unified dispatch. If a series of commercial strongholds are threatened or are under a planned siege, they cannot rescue each other because the commercial armed forces belong to different groups. Commercial companies, they cannot sacrifice their own interests to save the interests of others. Such a thing is different from the military." The chief of staff put forward his own views.

"Yes." Li Xin noticed the problem at this time. He thought of it in terms of the military, and he did not expect that the characteristics of commercial armed forces were different. This was far beyond his expectation.
