From the gate of heaven

Chapter 108 [Idea of ​​Batch Making Copper Coins in the Main World]

This time, Lin Ze emptied the gold reserves of all the big households in the county and obtained a total of 11 taels of gold.

In order to exchange these golds, Lin Ze spent 110 million taels of silver, in addition to the silver taels he accumulated in business, even the million taels of silver he just bought from Qixia Bank cost seven to eighty eight.

Next, Lin Ze must purchase another batch of silver, otherwise the subsequent business of the Gold Bank will not be able to start.

"Just buy 1000 million taels of silver this time."

Lin Ze thought about it.

The price of gold in the main world has risen again recently, from the previous 420 yuan per gram to 450 yuan per gram.

The price of silver rose from the previous 5.21 yuan per gram to 5.31 yuan per gram.

To exchange 11 taels of gold, Lin Ze spent 110 million taels of silver, worth 2 million.

11 taels of gold, according to the current gold price in the main world, is 450 yuan per gram, worth 24.75 billion.

In other words, just one day after Lin Ze's gold bank opened, it directly made a profit of 21 billion.

This is faster than selling mushrooms and large yellow croakers.

When Lin Ze uses the gold he earned to go to the main world to buy 1000 million silver, and then come back to another world to exchange it for gold, then Lin Ze's assets will double again, and he will ascend to the sky with his left foot on the right foot The gold and silver trade between the two circles of China was officially on the right track.

"The only regret is that the gold in Fengping County has basically been scrapped, and if you want to buy gold in the future, you can only have a slow flow, and you can't get rich overnight like you are now."

"If you want to collect gold on a large scale, it may have to wait until my power in the other world has further expanded."

Lin Ze sighed a little greedily.

For the next two days, Lin Ze continued to stare at the operation of the Gold Bank.

At this time, the Gold Bank itself did not have much business, and the main focus of business shifted to the wharf area, where merchants who came and went exchanged silver and copper coins and bought gold along the way.

Because of the guarantee of the Cao Gang, the merchants who come and go have trust in Lin Ze, the newly opened Zhiyuan Gold Bank.

But even so, Lin Ze can only collect about 2000 taels of gold every day.

For now, though, that's enough.
-
On October 10, Lin Ze turned his attention back to the main world again.

Recently, Ji Shuqing has been busy with Meimeilin's career, so she doesn't have the time and energy to pester Lin Ze. Being able to make a video call every day is considered a sneak in from her busy schedule.

In Ji Shuqing's vision, Lin Ze is just as busy as her, and sometimes he is not even in the country.

So she didn't have any doubts about Lin Ze who often disappeared.

Evening, Golden Island.

Aside from using the All-heaven Gate, this is the second time Lin Ze has come here.

Last time, Lin Ze landed at Xihai International Airport, and then went to Yulin City by land.

This time, however, it was not followed that route.

I came directly to the pier not far from the airport, took a sea boat with the accompanying security personnel, walked along the coastline for a certain distance, turned into an inland river, and drove directly to the Yulin City pier.

This pier was newly built recently, and its purpose is to receive supplies from outside the Golden Continent at any time.

In order to facilitate transportation, a concrete cement road was newly built at this wharf, leading directly to Yulin City.

At the pier, Zhang Hai came to welcome Lin Ze.

Behind him was a long convoy of soldiers with guns on their backs and uniforms.

It's just that these soldiers are not so strong, it can be seen that they are not elite soldiers, but more like recruits.

And this is Zhang Hai's recent achievements.

"Good brother, I haven't seen you for a while."

Zhang Hai hugged Lin Ze and spoke with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for a while, brother, you look radiant recently, and you have become slimmer."

Lin Ze patted Zhang Hai on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Zhang Hai used to be a fat white man of three hundred catties, but now he has lost at least twenty or thirty catties, and his skin has also turned black.

However, the spirit head is very good.

It can be seen that the other party should have been busy with his career during this time.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group prepared to leave.

Lin Ze drove out the many bulletproof off-road vehicles he bought recently from the dock warehouse.

These cars were bought and sent over by the way when they were transporting supplies to the Golden Continent recently.

In order to manage these materials, Lin Ze also arranged for Zhao Wenrou to open a branch company base on the Golden Island, and arranged some employees to manage the materials here.

Zhang Hai led the way with his personal guards, and Lin Ze followed with his own security guards. The two heavily armed convoys moved along the cement road and finally entered Yulin City.

Lin Ze's manor has not yet been repaired, and it is expected to take two months to complete.

So this time, Lin Ze is still staying at Zhang Hai's house temporarily.

During the banquet where the dust was washed away, Lin Ze and Zhang Hai ate and talked about things.

Zhang Hai ate a prawn and said with a smile: "Aze, the supplies you have provided are very timely recently. The recruitment of my personnel has been very smooth. Now we have recruited 5000 people and are currently receiving basic military training. .”

"Currently, the expenses of these 5000 people are divided into these parts. The first part is salary. For the time being, aside from my core subordinates who are officers, the salary of these ordinary soldiers is about 500 yuan per person. "

"In addition, it is weapons and equipment. An automatic rifle costs 500 yuan a piece. Each person is equipped with 60 rounds of ammunition. The cost is 500 yuan. Then there is the supply of logistics supplies, food, clothing and shelter. It takes about a month to consume. [-] yuan."

"The total investment of an ordinary soldier is 1560 yuan, and the total cost of 5000 people is about 780 million yuan."

"Right now, these soldiers are still undergoing physical training and cannot waste too many bullets. Considering the cost of subsequent live ammunition shooting, the maintenance cost will be 1100 yuan per month in the future. The total budget is about 550 million yuan, including officers in one year. And other expenses, it can be settled within 8000 million."

what?
Hearing Zhang Hai's offer, a little question mark appeared on Lin Ze's head.

He had planned to give Zhang Hai an annual budget of 8000 to [-] million yuan to build this army, but the brother actually managed [-] million yuan.

"Can such a small amount of money make the locals die?"

Lin Ze was surprised.

He wasn't surprised that an automatic rifle only cost 500 yuan. The production cost of this thing is not high, it looks like two or 300 yuan.

As an arms distributor, Zhang Hai can get the goods at the cost price, and it took 500 yuan to get it. It is estimated that the extra part of the money is the loss of freight.

"A place that hovers near the food and clothing line, where one is resigned to fate if one gets sick, isn't our treatment at the level of a golden rice bowl?"

"If it weren't for the many locals I can't trust, it wouldn't be too much for us to pull up a hundred thousand troops in minutes."

Zhang Hai was also very surprised.

For many locals in the Golden Continent, risking their lives may not be enough to eat, and the treatment Zhang Hai gave was already very high.

"Okay, I overestimated."

Lin Ze was speechless.

He has imagined the living standards of the locals in Huangjinzhou as low as possible, and feels that no matter how poor they are, they will not risk their lives for a little money. After all, there are gold mines here, and there are constant exchanges of people from home and abroad, and the prices are economical. It should be in line with the outside world.

But now the reality tells him that what he sees are only superficial things, and more people are still struggling to get enough to eat.

The income level here is completely in line with the farming society.

"However, this is also temporary. As we continue to develop gold mines, operate and build this site, people's living standards will increase, and the cost of employing people will gradually increase. By then, the cost will at least increase by four or five times. .”

"But at least ten years later, we don't need to think about this. For the time being, we can still use this low cost to maintain the army and protect our gold mines."

Zhang Haidao.

"You can't expect others to work hard for you all the time just for one bite."

Lin Ze nodded in agreement.
-
But at this time, a brand new idea and inspiration popped up in Lin Ze's mind.

"The cost of employing people in Huangjinzhou is so low, so I can ask them to make copper coins for me!"

In the main world, copper coins are no longer used.

Copper has changed from the previous currency material to the current complete industrial material, but the other world still uses copper coins as currency.

Lin Ze didn't make copper coins by himself before, the reason is very simple, it is not cost-effective.

The raw material of copper coins is copper-zinc alloy brass. The price of one ton of brass is 41000 yuan, one gram of copper is 0.041 yuan, and the weight of a copper coin is about 5 grams. The cost of a copper coin is 0.205 yuan.

According to the calculation that one thousand copper coins are equal to one tael of silver, the cost of making copper coins for one tael of silver is 205 yuan, while one tael of silver is worth about 265 yuan. It seems that the profit of making one tael of silver with copper coins is 60 yuan.

But the 205 yuan is just pure material money.

Adding in the cost of equipment for making copper coins, electricity costs, labor costs, and the cost of time consumed in the process, there is no profit.

In this case, it is not as convenient and quick as buying silver directly.

But now, Lin Ze sees a brand new possibility here in Golden Continent.

The labor here is so cheap that it is almost negligible. In this case, even if the equipment money and electricity bills are included, the profit of about 20 yuan for a thousand copper coins can be maintained.

With the current machine speed, hundreds of thousands of copper coins can be made in one minute.

When many machines work together, hundreds of thousands of copper coins can be produced in one minute, and the number of copper coins produced in a day is calculated in the hundreds of millions.

Of course, you can't make much money by making a little copper money.

But if you make 1000 million copper coins, that's a profit of 20, and if you make 1000 billion copper coins, that's a profit of 20 billion.

Of course, the most important point is that brass, the raw material of copper coins, is everywhere in the main world, and the reserves that can be purchased are calculated in billions of tons. Lin Ze doesn't have to worry about the shortage of raw materials at all.

Lin Ze calculated before that he used silver to plunder about [-] tons of gold in another world at most.

But if unlimited production and production of copper coins on the Golden Continent, then theoretically, he could plunder all the gold and even silver from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Ten thousand tons of gold can only bring Lin Ze four trillion yuan in profits, but if all the silver and gold in the other world are plundered, it may bring Lin Ze a huge profit of more than 20 trillion yuan!

"Over there, it's not easy for me to take out my electrical appliances and find someone from another world with cheap labor to help me make copper coins."

"But in the main world of the Golden Continent, there is no such concern. After all, although the locals of the Golden Continent cannot afford electrical appliances, they are not uncommon. The only concern is that others may wonder why I have to make so many copper coins. .”

Lin Ze's thoughts turned, and he quickly found a reason to cover up.

He is using the cheap labor on the Golden Continent to make handicrafts.

They can be sold back to the country to pray for blessings in temples and Taoist temples. In addition, they can also be sold in online stores at a price of one yuan.

At that time, it can be arranged to ship these copper coins away, and Lin Ze will open the Tianmen Gate on the way and send them to another world to save them.

After all, the only person he needed to cover was Zhang Hai. As for what other people thought, Lin Ze didn't really care.

And Zhang Hai, as Lin Ze's partner, as long as Lin Ze does not directly harm his interests, then he will generally take an attitude of indifference to Lin Ze's affairs.

Then, these copper coins brought by Lin Ze to another world can be used during the operation of the gold bank, and during the process of Lin Ze's own salary or shopping.

Naturally, it flowed into the market of the other world, and quietly plundered the gold and silver of the other world.

"The plan is perfect. The next thing we need to do is to repair the power station here in Yulin City, and then buy a batch of equipment for making copper coins from China."

"Yulin City is going to open a gold mine, and a power station is necessary. Now I want to make copper coins in batches, just to increase the power generation, and the equipment for copper coins is not too expensive. One set costs [-] yuan, and then there are copper coins. material."

"These things can be purchased from the country in the name of Yulin City, and then paid with hard currency like gold."

Lin Ze had made up his mind and perfected the entire plan in an instant.
-
After dinner, Zhang Hai took Lin Ze to see the new army that had just been recruited and was training.

Five thousand locals, under the leadership of some of Zhang Hai's personal guards and the instructors who served as security personnel under Lin Ze, conducted physical training and queue training.

These new troops have only just been training for more than ten days, so they are not considered strong troops, they can only be said to be in good shape just now.

However, these locals are very serious about their training. It seems that they cherish this difficult opportunity to join the army and eat. If they continue to train like this, even if they cannot match the main armies of the major powers in the world today, they can still get rid of the title of mob.

"nice."

Lin Ze praised it.

Zhang Hai's praise for Lin Ze was very useful, and he smiled modestly and said: "Ah Ze, the many supplies you support are also very important."

The two exchanged a wave of business.

When walking back, Zhang Hai suddenly became curious and asked: "Aze, you have become the city lord here, and you have recruited a large army to become a warlord. What do you think in China?"
