Economic issues, in addition to agriculture and industry, the most important are finance and markets.This year we issued the New Jili currency, and the process went smoothly, but there are still several key issues that have been controversial during the discussion.

The first is the abolition date of the old Jili currency. Some people suggest that there should be no exchange deadline for the time being. Anyway, the old Jili currency is no longer issued and the stock is limited. It can be exchanged at any time in the future until it is completely withdrawn from market circulation.

I think this is inappropriate. In fact, from now on, the old Jili currency will be completely withdrawn from the market circulation. Residents who hold the old Jili currency must exchange it for new Jili currency if they want to use it.

And to set a redemption deadline, I suggest that the shortest can be half a year later, and the longest should not exceed two years.

These are actually minor problems. The old Jili coins are only circulated in the country, and the local ordinary people don’t have any saving habits, and the hard currencies hoarded by the gangsters in the country are also rice gold, Luo yuan and gold.

The process of issuing new coins this time will truly test our grassroots organization mobilization and publicity capabilities. Through currency exchange, we must publicize the establishment of New Guinea and various policies to every corner of the country.

The real big issue and the most important controversy focus on two points, financial market opening and free trade.First of all, I would like to talk about my personal point of view. Given the status quo of the country, the financial market must be strictly controlled, and the New Zealand currency must not be freely convertible.

As for the domestic trade market, it cannot be fully opened to allow foreign capital to enter and exit at will.Some people say that Jiliguo used to have this kind of policy. Now that we are stronger and have a higher level of management, why can't we continue?

To add a digression, when the International Monetary Fund provides assistance to countries in debt crisis and financial crisis, there will be additional conditions, or according to their words, it is to prescribe a prescription.

This prescription has two focuses, privatization and open market, also known as shock therapy.

Why didn't anyone prescribe this medicine for Jiliguo? Aren't we worthy of assistance?The reason is very simple. Jili Kingdom has been in shock for many years, and it is completely cold. It is no longer profitable, so it was abandoned.

First of all, let’s talk about privatization reform. The theory is to sell state-owned assets, improve finances in the short term, and at the same time transfer poorly managed state-owned assets to private capital management, thereby improving efficiency.

Do you think there is any problem with this theory?Selling state-owned assets to improve finances is completely unsustainable, because assets will always be sold out, what about the next crisis?

For example, in the former Jili Kingdom, there were almost no state-owned assets, everything that could be sold was sold out, and even the entire border was divided by major armed forces.And our current [-]st Five-Year Plan is to rebuild some family assets.

Is it an inevitable consequence that private capital management can improve efficiency?Combined with the reform of privatization, some people will make the industry they operate inefficient and lose money, so as to achieve the goal of low-cost privatization for their personal interests.

Therefore, the problem we have to solve is how to prevent poor performance and improve efficiency when operating non-privatized industries, rather than letting some people see the profit opportunities of privatization.

This problem is difficult to solve, but it is the direction we want to work towards.

As for the liberalization of free trade, privatization is integrated in the prescription.International capital can directly purchase the materials they want, especially the acquisition of production materials, including land, mines, reservoirs, power stations, docks, telecommunications...

We also have private enterprises, but their competitiveness is far from enough, and they are either absorbed or squeezed out of the market.

Some people can also become the spokesmen of international capital, first obtain capital support to acquire state-owned assets from within, and then transfer them for profit.Another way is to immigrate, allowing asset owners to become foreigners directly, thus changing the ownership of assets.

The previous system design and various policies of Jili State are within this system, which is equivalent to a dangerous streaking.If we continue to rot as before, we may not encounter the things just mentioned.

But once Jiliguo develops and accumulates enough wealth worth harvesting in the future, such things will definitely happen.

International capital cannot be evaluated with good intentions or malice. As long as you give others a chance to harvest, someone will definitely harvest it!

Others say that the current wealth creation model is different from that of the last century. Financial capital is at the top of the food chain, followed by capital that controls the consumer market, and the final profit belongs to manufacturing.

This is reality, but it is unreasonable and unfair, just like the former Jili State, the status quo is both unreasonable and unfair, so we have to overthrow it and create a new country.

We are powerless to change what the whole world is like now, but when our own country can choose, we should be careful not to embark on such a path again.

During the group discussion after dinner yesterday, member Tang Senzhi explained a case.The harvesting of international capital at the national level has become very simple and crude since the end of the last century, directly through the currency market.

If our domestic market is completely open and our coins are freely convertible, if someone sells short in the currency market and sells coins on a large scale, we need to sell foreign exchange reserves to stabilize the exchange rate. Who can win this war? win?

It is necessary to pay attention to the internationally accepted trading rules. The other party can use leverage to sell a few mile coins, and can also overdraft the currency. It does not need to have a few mile coins in hand, as long as there is rice gold as collateral.

The few mile coins they throw out with empty orders, when it is time to deliver, the delivery will be calculated directly in rice gold at the current exchange rate, no need to pay a few mile coins!

However, the foreign exchange reserves we sell need real foreign exchange. Even if we can do leveraged financing in the market, we will have to deliver foreign exchange at that time.

This kind of currency war is different from what many people imagine. It does not have any brilliant skills, let alone any profound academic theories, but is based on unequal rules.

Under this set of rules, Jili Kingdom is doomed not to win!

At that time, the local currency will depreciate sharply, the country's foreign exchange reserves will be depleted, and a large amount of debt will be formed due to overdrafts. International capital will not only make huge profits, but also enter the market at the lowest cost and wantonly acquire valuable assets in our territory.

We haven't developed yet. If years of hard work are reaped, and the economy goes back for more than ten or even decades, the frustration is indescribable, and we'd better not experience it.

Since many years ago, when gold futures trading could not use physical gold in the final delivery, but paid in cash according to the quoted price at that time, international financial capital has completely torn off its face.

At this gambling table, we can't win, because the casino is run by others, and the rules are set by others.

The former Jili Kingdom, a gambler who lost everything, has been kicked off this gambling table.We must not think about saving some more money, and then we can go to this gambling table to make money, but don't participate in the gambling game..."

Tang Senzhi got a small whiteboard last night and explained several cases to the members of the same group. The first is the battle between Mijin and Sazhu, which is the famous Sazhu disk in the history of international finance.

It happened at the end of the last century and triggered financial crises in a series of countries.

If a fully open and convertible currency system is established, with the economic size of the country of Guinea, the New Guinea currency is just a small bubble beside the ocean.

Whether it's Mijin or Luoyuan, even if it's Dongguo currency, as long as you put a little water in it, if someone with a heart sets off a storm, the small blisters will be washed away.

What if it is a few miles to release the water by yourself?It has no effect on Wang Yang at all, and can only destroy himself.

Therefore, Hua Zhenxing, Tang Senzhi and others firmly believe that the New Guinea currency cannot be freely exchanged, which is more or less a reference to Dongguo's financial policy.Dongguo currency is also not freely convertible, which has long been criticized by the Western world.

Tang Senzhi also gave another small example yesterday, which is about complete market opening and free trade.

If in an extreme situation in this context, a large capital group can buy most of the cassava in Jili, unless you forcefully prohibit selling it to him, otherwise it will lead to famine.

Someone has to ask again, if you get foreign exchange from selling cassava, you can also go to the market to buy grain?However, there is no cassava in the domestic market, and the price of staple foods such as rice and wheat in the international market is much higher than that of cassava with the same calories.

Even if all this income is used to buy rice and wheat, not to mention whether the time will be available and whether they will sell it to you, it is still not enough to feed the same number of people.

So if you are not careful, someone can create a famine for you, which will cause social unrest, and at the same time support opposition forces to overthrow the regime.This kind of thing has been seen too much in the Black Desolation Continent, and there are many other routines.

Now there must be market protection measures to decide at the national level what can be exported and how much, and what needs to be imported and how much.

Jili Kingdom was originally a strange country. One of the strange things is that there is no foreign exchange control policy at all. A large amount of foreign exchange is not in the hands of the central bank. It is mainly hoarded by various gangs in the country and can be freely circulated.

When the expert group formulates financial policies, some basic concepts need to be repeatedly emphasized and clarified.

For example, the New Guinea currency cannot be freely converted, and the Guinea cannot fully open the market to engage in free trade. However, foreign investment and consumption are also welcome, as long as it complies with the policies and laws of the Guinea.

However, foreign currency cannot be directly used for consumption and investment. After entering the country, it must be converted into New Guinea currency before entering the field of investment and consumption. Many people do not even have this concept.

It's no wonder that all the major gangs like to trade directly with rice gold, Luo Yuan, and gold.Many people in the audience didn't realize that there was something wrong with this situation, and they didn't study economics anyway.

They are all about the introduction of foreign capital, so Hua Zhenxing and others have to waste their time explaining why this procedure is required.After the foreign capital is converted into New Guinea, and then enters the field of investment and consumption, it will be converted into the foreign exchange reserves of the Central Bank of Guinea.

If it is directly circulated and used, it becomes the foreign currency cash of various merchants and enterprises, which is equivalent to annexing the market and financial system of Jili Kingdom without hindrance.

Small and sporadic private transactions are nothing, but it is absolutely impossible to do so when it involves large-scale investment and acquisitions.

Hua Zhenxing went on to say: "With regard to foreign exchange policy, according to the special situation of Jili Kingdom, it is suggested that we recognize three international currencies at the same time, rice gold, Luo yuan and Dongguo currency.

At present, we have the most cooperation with Dongguo, and the channels for obtaining Dongguo coins are also the most.Dongguo coins can buy almost most of the products in the world, but there are also some things that Dongguo itself needs to import.

For example, minerals and crude oil, these are also things that we must strive to be able to produce by ourselves.

What I want to focus on today is a special case.

Huanxiang Industry has built a barbed wire grid in the north of Feisuo Port. To the north of the grid is the agricultural reclamation area in the Beiluo River Basin. At present, three towns have been built, and a large number of Dongguo construction personnel and their families live.

Next, we will build a special zone called Huanxiang Lingbang, which covers the existing agricultural reclamation area and the northern wilderness, which is also the land of Huanxiang Industry.

In order to create a more convenient living environment for these construction aid workers, Dongguo currency can be directly circulated in Huanxiang Lingbang.The salaries of Dongguo construction aid personnel are in Dongguo currency, and they can also use Dongguo currency to spend directly in the special zone.

The Dongguo staff employed by Huanxiang Industry are also paid in Dongguo currency in the special zone, and the source of the currency is raised by Huanxiang Industry itself.

The thorn grid is not a physical dividing line, but also a firewall of monetary policy.

In Huanxiang Lingbang, north of Grille, Dongguo coins can be directly circulated, mainly limited to investment and service areas.However, when you go to Port Fiso and other states in Jili State to the south of the grid, you need to exchange it into New Guinea before you can invest and consume.

I also noticed one thing, Jili Kingdom has not had an official and official national map so far.

In the past, the maps used by the various states and regions were inconsistent. Many regions were divided by territorial lines in the colonial era, or by occupied areas or even claimed areas, and even by tribal legends.

Now we're going to release the official country map and start building a sense of nation on top of tribal awareness.To pave the way for some future plans, on this official map, I suggest marking Huanxiang Lingbang in different colors..."

When they heard this sentence, some people's faces changed slightly, as if they had figured out something.And some people are completely indifferent, neither knowing the inside story nor reacting.As for Shire's expression remained unchanged, it seemed that he had known Hua Zhenxing's plan for a long time.

Chapter 410 The monk and I can't touch

In the 60s of the last century, the country of Jili declared its "independence" and broke away from the status of a colony.

At that time, the United States and the Mauro Alliance were committed to changing the world colonial system dominated by the original Luoba countries. In many places, a certain big force hurriedly established a regime and declared independence, at least in name.

However, since the establishment of Jili Kingdom, it has never been independent in the true sense. The economy, politics, diplomacy, and military affairs are still controlled by the original suzerain group until the roots are so rotten that it is no longer profitable to continue to control it...

On the contrary, this has become a favorable condition for the new alliance to liberate the entire territory of Jili State and establish New Guli State, because almost no one wants to pay attention to the bad things here.

The only meaning of Jili Kingdom's declaration of "independence" was that the geographical concept of Jili Kingdom appeared for the first time in history.In reality, it has never been unified, and even its territory is not determined by itself.

The four surrounding countries have drawn their own borders, enclosing several countries in the middle, and the coastline of the Great Anyang on the other side.The world map issued by the United Nations marked this area as the country of Jili.

Before the establishment of the new alliance, the so-called seven major states of Jili Kingdom were separated by five major armed forces. It was actually a rare relatively "stable" period in recent years.

Under these big forces, there are countless small forces, down to the actual control gangs that spread to every block, completely fragmented, it can be said that the ground is broken.

The maps promulgated by these local forces have never had a unified standard. Not only are the boundaries confused with each other, but there are even large areas of blank space in many places, and there are no signs of terrain, landforms, roads, or rivers.

This is also caused by objective conditions. Every time the floods flood the wilderness during the heavy rainy season, the topography will change greatly.The map used by the new alliance can be said to be the most accurate in history. It was manually surveyed and drawn by Uncle Mo, and it is also dynamic.

The process of the New Alliance's liberation of Jili Kingdom was to knead these fragments together, just like repairing a fragile piece of porcelain.This piece of porcelain is now basically kneaded into shape, but another independent "vessel" remains, which is the Huanxiang Lingbang that Hua Zhenxing just mentioned.

In Hua Zhenxing's mind, it is the future Huanxiang Country and Zhen Xingbang, but the Huanxiang Country has not officially surfaced, so this Huanxiang Country is its embryonic form and birthplace.

Huan wants to build a leading state, which has little to do with the first five-year plan of the new Jili state that everyone is discussing today.

However, Jili Kingdom needs to issue an official map. In order to avoid some future troubles from the very beginning, Hua Zhenxing clearly proposed to mark Huanxiang Lingguo in different colors.

What does it mean?The people present here can sit here, at least they are not stupid, can they not hear it?

Although many people were indifferent on the surface and seemed to have no reaction, they seemed to be relieved in their hearts.There was a boot that had been hanging for a long time, until it finally landed at this moment, it was from Feng Zibin who was not at the venue at all.

Feng Zibin founded Huanxiang Industry, but without Huanxiang Industry, there would be no new alliance.During the process of liberating and transforming Jili Kingdom by the New Alliance, Huanxiang Industry gave money to money, people to people, materials to materials, and equipment to equipment. They supported it regardless of the cost.

Huanxiang Industrial is a private capital group, what is Feng Zibin's desire in return?

Wagliang once asked "Feng Zibin" in private—are you a socialist? "Feng Zibin" replied at the time - I am a big capitalist!No outsider knew about this conversation, but Feng Zibin's answer was what everyone knew about him.

Feng Zibin must have a purpose for investing such a large amount of capital. Now that it's time to reap the rewards, what kind of request will he make?What will happen if Jili Kingdom cannot meet his demands?

As soon as Hua Zhenxing said what he said just now, the problem became clear.Feng Zibin will get what he wants, and the new government of Jili Kingdom will not have to pay extra.

Most of the people present would not think that this was Hua Zhenxing's intention, but his opinion conveyed on behalf of Feng Zibin.Of course, Hua Zhenxing, as the person in charge of Yangyuan Valley, should also support this plan.

The reason is very simple, Yang Yuangu is also within the territory of Huanxiang Lingbang, there should be a negotiation between the chief mentor of Hua Zhenxing and Feng Zibin, and a consensus has been reached.Most of the people here think so, they don't know that Hua Zhenxing is Feng Zibin.

Hua Zhenxing had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, and said unhurriedly: "I am speaking this passage as the plenipotentiary representative of Huanxiang Industry, and I have also been authorized by Mr. Feng Zibin.

Since three years ago, Huanxiang Industry has bought the land reclamation area of ​​Feisuo Port and the north of the land reclamation area in batches, with a total of [-] square kilometers of land, and the area has been connected as a whole.

The total purchase price is 30 billion meters of gold, which will be paid to the new government of Jili State in ten years. It has been paid for two years now, and will continue to be paid for eight installments in the future, as long as the new government still exists.

This land was not controlled by any forces before, nor settled by any tribes. It was completely a wasteland, and everything was invested and constructed by Huanxiang Industry alone.

We intend to establish a True Federation on this basis, with independent governance, as marked on the official map.As for the diplomatic affairs, I entrusted Guliguo as a charge d'affaires for the time being, and Huanxiang Industry would send a special representative to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Guliguo.

Huan hopes that after the establishment of the leading state, it will continue to support the construction of New Guinea, deepen the friendship and assistance relationship, and develop together through interdependence... On behalf of Feng Zibin, I have finished speaking. "

Many people in the venue showed expressions of "as expected".

In their view, how could a person like Feng Zibin have no ambition, or ambition.What exactly Feng Zibin wants, if he doesn't say it clearly, many people will not be able to sleep, but now they can sleep soundly.

What Feng Zibin wants is nothing more than an "independent kingdom", and that "kingdom" has long belonged to him, and now he just wants to clarify his status. Thinking about it carefully, Feng Zibin is actually very "polite". It couldn't be more reasonable.

Huanxiang Industry is a private company, [-]% owned by Feng Zibin. If we change the situation, it may be the concept of "Huanxiang Industrial Park", and the entire park is the business place of this company.

But this park is too big, with an area of ​​[-] square kilometers, so it is necessary to establish a relatively independent state of Huanxiang.

In fact, many giant multinational capital groups in the world, from their internal perspective, aren't they kingdoms?It's just that there is no concept of territory, but it can determine what happens in many territories in the world.

Hua Zhenxing didn't want to explain too much about his plan.In public, if everyone thinks so, it's a good choice. If you deduce it in Yuanshen, many interesting things may happen in the future.

If it is in a mature modern nation-state, it may be unacceptable for Huanxiang Industry to make such a request.But for Jili Kingdom, it is not inconceivable, otherwise Hua Zhenxing would not have had the plan of "Huanxiang Country" at the beginning.

Jiliguo is not a mature modern nation-state, it has never been, and even the concept of a country in the true sense did not exist when "independence" was declared 60 years ago, but only appeared today, and it was created by Huazhenxing .It was originally just a geographical concept.

If you ask an ordinary person on the street: "Where are you from?" He must first answer people from a certain neighborhood, and if you go back a few years, most of the answers are people from a certain gang.

If you ask in another way: "Who are you?" The answer is the same, at most people from a certain tribe are added. In short, no one would think of answering: "I am from a few miles."

There is no concept of "history" in Jili Kingdom. The local dialect doesn't even have words, let alone the history carried by words. Even the kingdom of Gods and Hermitages, which completely disappeared 50 years ago, is now regarded by many people as an ancient myth. up.

Its so-called history is the history of the colonists. Its territory is constantly changing, and the suzerain has changed several times. The real national history of this country only begins now.

The area where Huanxiang Lingbang is located has never been really occupied and settled by anyone in history, let alone managed and governed. It is a wilderness and no man's land, located in the north of Feisuo Port.

Huazhenxing escorted Dr. Luo through this area three years ago. There is no obvious mark on the border between it and Tema country in the north. No immigration procedures are required.

Huan Xiang Industrial wanted it at the beginning, and bought it very smoothly. If Feng Zibin wanted to draw it out from the map and mark it in a different color, then he would draw it out, and no one would care.The people who really might care are sitting in this meeting room right now.

Everyone looked at Charles at the same time, and Charles really asked, "What about Sanhu Town?"
