Chapter 533: Consequences of Failure in Business War
"As long as the government takes measures, why can't it be stopped?" Ying Zheng asked.
Qin An smiled and said, "Father-in-law, don't forget that at this time, the government and nobles have already spent money from their own families and treasury to buy flowers from the people.
And this is where the mastermind behind the scenes is kind.
The real fatal thing is that when the mastermind feels that the harvest is almost done, he sells a large number of tulips. "
"Hiss~~" Everyone couldn't help but take a breath.
At this time, everyone has already guessed the consequences. Once the people behind the scenes sell tulips in large quantities, the price of tulips will plummet, which is the most fatal.
The government wants to stabilize the price of tulips and will invest more money than now to buy these tulips.
But after buying it, no one can guarantee whether the next batch will appear.
But it doesn't work no matter what. If you do, it will only delay the collapse.
Finally, the country's economy collapses and its national power weakens.
Li Si shuddered all over and said, "Liu Li, this is very similar to what Qin An said last time, using Liu Li to destroy the country."
Meng Xifan and others had never heard about the last time Qin An used glass to destroy the Six Kingdoms, and they all showed curiosity at this time.
People who heard that Qin An used glass to destroy the six kingdoms all showed horror.
"Is this a business war?" Ying Zheng murmured to himself.
"Yes, this is a business war." Qin An nodded, "As long as you have resources and money, you can launch a business war.
Let’s talk about Japan. Twenty years ago, Japan was known as the world’s second largest economy. Their wealth could buy a bald eagle on Wall Street.
After being manipulated by Bald Eagle in the end, Japan was defeated in the business war and has never recovered since then. "
"How did the bald eagle do it?" Jiang Lu asked.
"Actually, it's very simple." Qin An said, "It's just to let Japanese money appreciate. The money of a country and a country is different in the international market.
For example, the exchange rate of Bald Eagle money to Japanese money is one hundred to one. One dollar of bald eagle money can be exchanged for one hundred Japanese dollars.
Under this ratio, the bald eagle exchanged 100 billion bald eagle coins for 10 trillion Japanese coins.
Then Bald Eagle took 10 trillion Japanese money to buy a house in Japan, turning the original 100,000 house in Japan into one million, or even two million.
Because of the hype, houses will only get more expensive. As a result, Bald Eagle's ten trillion Japanese money has become one hundred billion, or even more.
As Japan's economy seems to be developing, its Japanese money will also appreciate in value, appreciating 20% from the beginning, and then rising every year in three years.
In the end, the value appreciated by 86%.
The bald eagle felt that it was almost done, so he sold all his houses and businesses and converted them into money, assuming that he had one trillion Japanese dollars.
At this time, the exchange ratio between Japanese money and bald eagle money has changed from one to one hundred to more than one to fifty, so I just changed it to one to fifty.
In this way, one trillion Japanese dollars can be exchanged for twenty trillion bald eagle dollars.
In just a few years, the Bald Eagle has grown from 100 billion to 20 trillion, earning 20 trillion from the Japanese.
The Japanese apparently lost 20 trillion yuan, but the actual losses were far more than that. "
"What do you say?" Jiang Lu asked.
Qin An replied: "It's very simple. When money goes up, prices will also go up. Let's talk about a house. Originally, I could afford a house worth 100,000 yuan. But three years later, it became a house worth 1 million yuan, which I can't afford." .
But people can't live without a house, so some people ask banks for loans.
Because the house was valuable, the bank granted the loan smoothly.
However, as soon as Bald Eagle's funds were withdrawn, many companies began to lay off employees, which meant that many people had no income and could not afford to pay off their mortgages.
I can't even buy food, so I only have
Can sustain the simplest food.
Japan, which was originally the world's second largest economy, suffered an economic setback for twenty years. Since then, the Japanese have completely become the lackeys of the bald eagle. "
"The Japanese people are so incompetent that they still want to occupy China. It's simply a fantasy." Li Si said solemnly.
"There is no other way. The closed-door policy prevents China from contacting the world, so its strength is not as good as other countries in the world." Qin An explained.
"Is the business war really that powerful?" Ying Zheng asked.
Although after listening to Qin An's words, he felt that business war was indeed very powerful and could threaten a country, but without seeing it with his own eyes, Ying Zheng still remained skeptical about it.
Qin An also heard that Ying Zheng was suspicious of this, so he said: "Father-in-law, let's take a simple example.
Let’s use gold, copper coins and silver as examples.
I minted copper, silver and gold coins in the village. One hundred copper coins can be exchanged for one silver coin, and ten silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin. "
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "This system is very good. The imperial court wants to start using it, and it has unified the currency. Gold, silver coins and copper coins are all cast in the style of the village."
Qin An immediately asked: "Should the money be cast by the imperial court, or can it be cast by others."
"Is there any difference?"
"Of course." Qin An said, "If the imperial court casts it, then the imperial court can have the final say on the country's wealth, but other people can also cast it, so the amount of the country's wealth is not decided by the imperial court, but by everyone. This will cause market turmoil.
So outside, in any country, this money can only be made by the state, and anything made by others is illegal.
I just talked about the proportion of copper coins, coins and gold coins, but one day, news suddenly came out that someone had obtained a large amount of gold in one place, which was more than the whole of China combined.
At this time, the price of gold will fall. The original exchange of ten silver coins for one gold may become five silver coins for one gold coin.
If news of copper shortage breaks out again at this time, I am afraid that the price of copper coins will increase as a result. "
"So what, will it have any impact on the court?" Li Si asked.
"Of course." Qin An said, "The merchants who get these two pieces of news will immediately take action. First, they will exchange gold in large quantities for copper coins, not only to the government, but also to the common people.
All businessmen will take action for a while, and maybe some officials will also take action.
Once this action is taken, the exchange gap that has already occurred will become even larger.
As copper coins become more expensive, people will not dare to use copper coins and use silver coins instead, and prices will rise.
This is still a normal situation, and there is no harm caused by the operation of the people behind the scenes. In fact, this harm is far from as simple as I said.
If there are people behind the scenes operating at this time and spreading some false news, then everything will become more serious. "
