Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1437 Join
Oil City Meeting Room.

In the last row, a middle-aged man in his forties stood up.

"Hello everyone, my name is Sun Taidou, I am 45 years old, I graduated from the University of Maryland before the end of the world, I have a PhD, I am an assistant professor at the HSBC Business School of BJ University, and I used to be a consultant for the World Bank."

“My previous research areas were macroeconomics, monetary economics, quantitative model algorithms, and macro asset pricing.”

After he finished speaking, he did not stop immediately.

After taking a look at Li Yu at the top, he said, "City Lord, I think there are big problems with the current currency system in the trading market."

Dongtai, who had originally planned to let him sit down, frowned when he heard him say this.

The city lord hasn't even asked you yet, but you're already saying there's a big problem. Are you showing off?

Just as he was about to speak, he saw the city lord raise his head and look at Sun Taidou.

"Oh? What's the problem? Tell me."

Monetary policy expert Sun Taidou heard that Li Yu was interested and quickly said:
"Money is actually a standard item used to exchange goods. Money in economics, in a narrow sense, is a standard item used to exchange goods;"

"In a broad sense, it is an item used as a medium of exchange, a measure of value, a means of payment, and a store of value. Specifically, money has the functions of a medium of exchange, a standard of value, a standard of deferred payment, a store of value, etc."

"Get to the point." Before he could finish, Li Yu knocked on the table, signaling him to speak faster.

Hearing Li Yu urging him, Sun Taidou quickly got to the point.

"City Lord, the current transactions in the base are mainly through barter. This method is completely feasible for a small team."

“But for a city as large as our Oil City and Trading Market, it’s not really applicable.”

"The barter method has low circulation efficiency and a narrow exchange range. It is difficult to find the items you want to exchange. For many people, they need to match the items they want with the sellers, which is actually quite difficult."

When Sun Taidou said this, he carefully observed the expressions of the big guys on both sides of the table, and then focused his attention on the young man at the top.

Because he knew that in the Oil City and even in the trading market, this young man was the most powerful person.

If I could gain his favor, my future life would be much easier.

"Go on, finish." Li Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at him with interest.

"Ok."

Sun Taidou continued:
"I've heard from other leaders that we should gradually promote the use of bullets as 'currency'. I wonder if we have enough bullets in stock at our base."

“Although bullets themselves have valuable attributes, there are some uncontrollable factors when using bullets as currency.”

"First, bullets are not unique to us. Other forces also have bullets. The total amount of currency is uncontrollable. This is actually a big problem in terms of currency utilization, and it is easy to cause all kinds of troubles in the future."

"Secondly, although a single bullet is not heavy, if you want to buy a large number of items, you need to carry dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of bullets to trade, which is very inconvenient."

"So what do you think? Stop building suspense and just tell me." Dongtai said impatiently.

"It's okay." Li Yu waved his hand, signaling Dongtai to sit down and not disturb him from listening to Sun Taidou.

Sun Taidou licked his dry lips, seeing that the city lord's interest had been aroused.

Seeing that he had almost finished the preparation, he was worried that he would not have the chance to finish if he continued, so he said directly,

"I think we can use the point system currently used in the Oil City and the Trade Fair to expand the functions of points and form an invisible currency."

"Before the end of the world, this form had already been widely used."

“We can integrate the points system into transactions in the trading market.”

Li Yu became more and more interested as he listened, and asked with interest:

"How do you use it? The points have a limited scope of use. How do you plan to use it in the trading market?"

In fact, in the Big Camphor Tree Base, points have almost become used like currency.

Many cooperative personnel, non-staff personnel, and even personnel from inner and outer cities can store points, and after obtaining a certain amount, they can exchange them for food and other supplies.

However, the trading market is divided into five levels, and most people are only at level five.

and,

Almost all the points in the Dazhangshu base are earned by these people after working or making some kind of contribution.

However, what is needed in a trading market is a medium for the exchange of materials between each other.

In other words, you don’t need to make contributions and work to earn points.

Obviously, the current points system cannot meet the needs of item exchange in the trading market.

"The question you asked is very crucial and hits the nail on the head!"

Sun Taidou took the opportunity to flatter Li Yu.

continued:

"In order to solve the problem of how to obtain points, I think we can use a dual points system and divide the points into: transaction points and contribution points."

"Trading points, as the name implies, are used to meet the needs of both buyers and sellers in the trading market. Buyers first take their items to the exchange hall of our trading market, and exchange them for a corresponding number of trading points based on the price estimate. Then, they can use these trading points to purchase the materials they need in the commercial district."

“This method can enhance and expand the storage of various items in our Oil City.

"Sellers can also purchase goods from us and use their points. We can also make a certain amount of profit from the price difference. After all, the pricing power is in our hands."

“It is equivalent to all the transactions in the trading market, and we can participate in them.”

When the third uncle who was sitting on the left side of Li Yu heard this, he raised his head which had been lowered all the time and looked at the monetary policy expert. He didn't expect that this man was so capable.

Many people present focused their attention on this Sun Taidou.

Only Dongtai felt a little unhappy. It seemed that Sun Taidou had already thought of this whole thing, but had never shown it.

I asked him related questions before, and although he did put forward some professional opinions, compared with the proposal of using points as currency proposed today, those previous opinions seemed very mediocre.

He didn't say anything before, and only spoke up now that the city lord had arrived.

Although he was unhappy, he continued to listen carefully.

When Sun Taidou saw so many people looking at him, his face flushed, and the feeling of being in command and in charge of the country before the end of the world returned.

"Contribution points are what we are using now, and there is no need to change the contribution points."

“However, I think in order to increase the frequency of points being used in the trading market and enhance the influence of points, this form can be adopted:
Contribution points can be converted into transaction points according to the ratio, and transaction points can also be exchanged for various materials. "

"To put it simply, contribution points can be exchanged for transaction points for use in the trading market, but transaction points cannot be exchanged for contribution points."

Speaking of this, Sun Taishan became more and more excited.

"City Lord."

“Currency is the soul and image of a country or a force, and is the most difficult to replace.”

"It is also a credit endorsement from a country or force."

“The issuance of a single currency requires credit endorsement.”

"But we in Oil City have a strong endorsement of trust in this regard. It just happened that the terrible thunderstorm disaster just passed not long ago. The survivors in the trading market all recognize the strength of our trading market. This is a guarantee."

"We can even withstand this horrific thunderstorm, let alone other disasters.

This provides them with a good credit endorsement for using our points.

In addition, the strict system in the trading market ensures a stable order and a stable enough environment in the trading market, so that they can use it with confidence. " "And. "

"In the future, points can play a huge role as currency and enhance the influence of Oil City."

Sun Taishan should have thought of all this a long time ago, as his rhetoric was very coherent with almost no pauses.

Moreover, all aspects are considered very comprehensively, the feasibility is very strong, and there are almost no loopholes.

You can even adjust it and use it directly.

Sun Taidou swallowed his dry throat and finally said:
"The above are my humble thoughts and opinions on the current currency system in the trading market. If adopted, appropriate adjustments can be made in the specific implementation."

Quiet.

The conference room was silent for a moment, and everyone seemed to be digesting what he said.

Li Yu narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought. According to Sun Taidou's method, it was quite interesting.

In this way, the initial pricing power of all items is in the hands of their Oil City, and all trading activities in the trading market can be controlled.

Even later, because of the point monetary policy, it spread to other places, and trading points were used by more and more people outside. By using the points of the trading market, the influence of the trading market was expanded invisibly.

Most importantly, this can also allow the Oil City to stockpile large quantities of various materials, providing a steady supply of fuel for the development of the trading market and even the headquarters base.

Just imagine that countless survivors bring all kinds of supplies and run to the trading market to exchange points. If these supplies happen to be needed by the Big Camphor Tree Base, or the North Territory, or the Oil City, they can be used directly.

It is also beneficial to digest the products produced by the factories in the big camphor tree base.

not bad.

Li Yu's eyes were shining and the smile on his lips became more and more obvious.

"Yes, the idea you proposed is very good and has strong practical application."

He looked at the senior executives of Oil City on both sides and asked, "Well, what do you think?"

Ju Tianrui looked at his uncle and saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he stood up and said:

"I think Sun Taidou's idea is very good. We have set up an area as a warehouse and transportation area, which can store a large number of various materials to meet the implementation of the point currency plan."

"Yeah." Li Yu looked at Lao Luo next to him.

Lao Luo frowned and said, "It's a good idea, but where are the tools to increase and decrease points?"

"We contribute points. In the past, each person kept track of the points themselves. When we wanted to exchange for supplies, the statisticians would deduct and increase the points on the computer."

"But now we have to deal with so many survivors. They are not trading directly with us, but with other sellers. What credentials do they have?"

This question is quite specific.

Old Zhou, who had retreated from the North together, said with a smile:

"This is quite simple."

"Don't we have a lot of computers? It's easy to use these computers to build a local area network that covers the entire trading market."

"Each seller will be equipped with one computer, and they will be able to see the information and remaining points of each buyer from the computer. Once the purchase is completed, the corresponding points will be deducted."

"If you want to be more thorough, you can make a batch of IC cards. It's not difficult to make these things anyway."

When the meeting was held in Oil City, many people gathered at the entrance of Tingfeng Tower in the trading market.

"Fuck, isn't that the former big star Yang Mi?"

"Who is Yang Mi?" a young man in his early twenties asked puzzledly.

A middle-aged man next to him glanced at him, and felt relieved after realizing his age.

"You are still young, it's normal for you not to know Da Mimi."

"I didn't expect that Da Mimi would come to the trade fair. I didn't even know that. I used to like her very much."

"Look at you, you're such a lickspittle. You don't even realize what time it is now. It's the end of the world! But you said this rice is really good. It's been five years since the end of the world, and you haven't starved yet."

Some people also shouted:

"When will Sister Rice be open for business? I want to come and play!"

There were also some upright people who sighed and lamented at the miserable appearance of those people:
"The world has changed, people's hearts are no longer the same, a top star is now joining Tingfeng Tower just for a bite to eat, it's too evil, what kind of world is this! So disgusting! Um, big cousin, lend me some food."

"You already have some, what do you need so much food for?"

"I want to go to Tingfeng Tower and have a candlelit chat with Ms. Da Mimi about life and ideals."

"Didn't you just say that people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be? How hypocritical!"

"Cousin, you don't understand. I admire her for being able to survive the apocalypse. I admire her tenacious vitality and stubborn soul!"

"I think you are after her body, you are a slut!"

"How can you say that romantic matters are cheap?"

"roll!"

"Lend it to me. I'm afraid I don't have enough."

"roll!"

"Please"

"Go away, I'm not enough myself."

"Ah? Isn't that enough for you, cousin?"

"I also want to discuss my life ideals with Ms. Da Mimi."

"."

At the entrance of Tingfeng Tower.

Huizi, the person in charge of Tingfeng Tower, looked at Yang Mi carefully.

Looking at Mimi, who looks to be in her forties but still has her charm.

As if she had experienced a lot of vicissitudes, there was a kind of fragility in Da Mimi's eyes that made me feel pity for her.

At this time, Da Mimi pursed her lips and walked in front of Huizi.

"Boss Huizi, can I join Tingfeng Tower?"

Huizi had a mole at the corner of her mouth. After hearing what Da Mi said, she grinned.

The mole at the corner of your mouth is becoming more and more obvious.

"Of course, of course, come on, from now on you will be the top star of our Tingfeng Tower!"

I thought to myself: This is a cash cow! It came at the perfect time. With this cash cow, the development of Tingfeng Tower will only get better and better in the future.

I just arrived and there are so many people gathered outside.

The celebrity effect is really good.

Even though she is older and less attractive, she is still very attractive to most men.
