Is Phoenix Coin really that easy to fake?
The well-informed steward of Blackwater City knew what was going on.
The color of the phoenix coin is the color of the wood. To make a similar color, you cannot paint it. You can only use dip dyeing. And how can you control the color from spreading beyond the graphics using dip dyeing? It's almost impossible to imagine.
This does not include the detail of the Phoenix coin graphics. If you put several Phoenix coins together, you will find that the graphics are exactly the same and the details are outstanding. If you want to make such a graphic on wood with different front and back sides, the housekeeper would not have thought of anything. Good idea. Wood is not as good as iron, but it cannot be die-cast. Even if it is not crushed, the texture of the pressed wood will change.
If it were really possible to find a master to make one by hand, it would probably be worth many times more than the Phoenix Coin.
Sure enough, a month had passed, and the bastard who came to him with bad ideas had not come up with counterfeit money that could blind ordinary people's eyes.
But this guy actually hasn't given up on his dirty tricks yet.
The steward's informant in the city came to report that the thing had persuaded some local and foreign businessmen to go to Hongxinzi Bank to run on their deposits.
The housekeeper didn't understand: "Run on deposits? How?"
The informant quickly explained: "Isn't there a purchase in the north? These people now accept Phoenix coins and then go to the bank to exchange for gold coins."
"???Then what?"
"Nothing happened, they are still changing."
"Crazy! If something happens, report it later."
"……yes!"
The housekeeper already knows what that thing is going to do, so he probably won't get any good results.
The difference between Phoenix coins and gold and silver coins is very huge. After contacting Hongxinzi Bank, the housekeeper discovered that the price of gold and gold coins were not equivalent, so he sent his subordinates to do the gold business on his behalf.
However, this business became less and less interesting as time went on. At first, one fatel gold coin and twenty phoenix coins could be refined to produce three and a half grams of gold, and one gram of gold cost eight yuan. The profit was good.
Now the price of gold has dropped to five yuan, and the gold coin is seventeen. If you melt and sell the farr gold coins, you will still lose labor money!
The only purpose of exchanging gold coins at this time is to help the bank remove its gold coin inventory.
For ordinary banks, a run on gold coins would be fatal. However, the main business of Hongxinzi Bank is the handling fees for Phoenix Coin remote deposits and withdrawals. The availability of gold coins will have little impact on them.
The housekeeper continued to live his own life. More than ten days later, he suddenly remembered this matter and sent someone to the bank to understand the situation.
"The gold coins have been exchanged. They are exchanging gold now." The servant came to report and reminded, "Sir, the people at the bank said that gold is cheap now, so you can buy some."
"???" The steward asked with a question mark on his face, why did the bank continue to promote gold?
It's okay to think about it. Anyway, many of the Phoenix coins in the housekeeper's hands were earned from melting gold coins and selling gold. He didn't take out any money. Since the bank recommended it, I just bought some.
So I went to the bank to purchase a batch of gold ingots.
A few days later, someone actually brought gold to my door.
"There's something wrong." The housekeeper shook his head as he looked at the dazzling gold in front of him. He found tools to check that the gold was not adulterated. "There is a conspiracy, there is definitely a conspiracy."
The bank used to collect gold at eight yuan or seven yuan. When it dropped to six yuan, no one was doing financial business. Now it is sold for five yuan. On average, seven tons of gold are purchased for seven million and sold for five million? Not a loss?
What is the purpose?
Because of this incident, the housekeeper was troubled for several days. He spent one-third of his waking time thinking about it every day. The more he couldn't figure it out, the more he felt that there was a big conspiracy and crisis inside.
"It's not good! Uncle, there's a fight in the market!"
"You have something to say, what's the matter?"
"Uncle, people in the market are short of money for some reason during this time, so they have lowered the purchase price of many products. When people from other places came to the caravan, they said they would lose money by selling this way, and they started fighting while talking. "
Short of money?
The housekeeper was like a basin of cold water pouring over his head, shaking out a pile of chicken skin from top to bottom. He finally understood why he sold gold at a loss.
How many gold coins were melted into gold during the high-profit period?
Now banks are taking the initiative to sell gold out at a loss.
He also recycled the Phoenix coins in the hands of the big businessman, which meant he was short of money!
Everyone has a lot of gold in their hands, but where can gold be used for direct trading? You think gold is worth one-third of a gold coin, but the other person thinks it is only worth one-fifth. Can the deal be concluded?
"Fuck you! Let's go to the bank."
I took Ma Zai to the bank. When I first saw the listed price of the day, the price of gold was suddenly changed to two prices. The exchange price of gold was still 5 yuan per gram, but the gold received by the bank became 4 yuan and 50 cents.
"Fuck!" Seeing the changes in the listing price, the housekeeper already understood what kind of money he had made this time.
In fact, the entire Blackwater City has been short of gold and silver coins for a long time. It is because of the gradual circulation of Phoenix coins that there is no problem. Whether it is a lord or a housekeeper, because Blackwater City itself does not mint coins, it usually does not care about this situation.
This time, taking advantage of a run on gold coins that caused a large amount of Phoenix coins to flow back, the bank took advantage of it, exacerbating the flow of Phoenix coins, and made money when prices fluctuated.
This change in the listing price is usually a price that can only be paid out, but if the current situation in Heishui City drags on for a long time, more and more people will inevitably have to bear the pain of exchanging gold for cash, otherwise they will have to let the caravan leave without a load. Replaced hundreds of kilometers away. However, even if the journey was safe, three and a half grams of gold still cannot be exchanged for a gold coin hundreds of kilometers away. After deducting the costs of escorting the gold, the situation will only get worse.
The difference of 5 cents magnifies into hundreds of millions of Phoenix coins in transaction volume, and the profits are enough for the guys in the bank to make a good living for several years.
So the culprit is the group of bastards who came to squeeze me?
But now that I have come, I still need an explanation.
The chief steward of Blackwater City was no small figure, and he was quickly sent to the manager's office.
After a moment of meaningless greetings, the housekeeper said directly: "What you are doing is really not authentic enough. Do you know how many civilians will lose their livelihoods due to price changes?"
What he said was righteous, but actually he just wanted some compensation.
"Butler, please don't be angry. The fluctuation is only temporary. We have not deceived you before. The current price of gold is definitely low. As long as you hold it in your hands, you will definitely make money later."
"Earn? How?"
"To be honest with you, we have received notice from Phoenix Bank that after this round of bank runs, gold is about to rise, and the gold fartel coin will rise back to 18 yuan."
It's okay to make money, but the housekeeper didn't relax and asked: "Are you doing charity? Will you not lose money if it goes down or rises?"
The manager shook his head: "The gold price has nothing to do with our bank. We just earn a handling fee, and the gold is managed by Phoenix Bank. Our bank will receive a special fund for this round of price adjustment, which will be used after deducting our bank's handling fee." Increase the total currency circulation in Blackwater City, and this money will be released in the form of fluctuations in gold and silver prices.”
I don’t quite understand it, but I always think it’s a bit powerful.
In any case, the bank has indeed promised that as long as it holds the gold, it will be beneficial. For the housekeeper, this is enough. After all, if you want to touch them, you really have to consider Beifang's attitude.
The next step is to cause trouble for those brats, who are messing around here without the consent of the chief steward of Blackwater City and without paying any respect!
Forget it, there's no need to worry about it, just report it directly to the lord and that's it.
Not long after, several corpses with slightly damaged heads were hung in the square.
After people died, their money still had to find a way out. The big steward suddenly realized his conscience and persuaded Lord Dok to provide part of the subsidies to the small traders who had been damaged recently. He was also praised a few times by the lord.
