Blackstone Code Chapter 1152: Roadside restaurant

"Whoever takes the initiative in international trade will control the world!"

This sentence was said by Lynch a few years ago, when Mr. Trueman didn't feel much about it, thinking that it might just be a...

Until this moment, he did not understand the true meaning of this sentence.

Looking at those enthusiastic diplomats, they can't wait to become brothers with the Federation immediately. This is the benefit of controlling the trade initiative.

If these small countries want to develop and want orders, they cannot offend the federal people. The more they rely on the orders of the Federation, the more they will be unable to leave the control of the Federation in the future.

Gavra's diplomat sat on the side with a very ugly face, but there was nothing he could do.

Objection?

He is likely to be asked out, thereby causing Gavra to leave the organization.

He can only sit silently and feel the uncomfortable feeling, as if there are thousands of bugs in his body, crawling around and biting his body!

After talking about trade for a while, Mr. Trueman spoke about the monetary order.

"The silver currency of the Silver Alliance has actually reminded us that the stability of major international currencies, especially the settlement currency, is very important."

"A few days ago, the exchange rate between silver currency and their allied countries was still very high. They were waving banknotes to buy internationally, but now..."

Mr. Truman looked very regretful and shook his head, "Those things have become worthless!"

"Many countries, including us, have been affected by this turmoil. There are also some merchants in the Federation who sold their goods to them in exchange for those..."

He chuckled twice, full of contempt and disdain in his laughter, "So we need to stabilize the currency exchange rate system and come up with a stable currency as the main settlement currency within our organization." /

After giving everyone a chance to think and buffer their thoughts, he continued, "I don't know if you have noticed. Compared with the rapid rise and fall of silver, the performance of gold is actually very stable."

"The Silver Alliance has many problematic policies, but there is one decision that I think is more in line with the current international situation, and that is the benchmarking of currencies and precious metals."

He pursed his lips and took a sip of water, "What we need is a stable currency relationship, not a skyrocketing or plummeting exchange rate because of a certain policy. It is feasible to use currency to link precious metals. ."

"But it can't be silver, we all know...", he smiled, "Silver is worthless!"

The diplomats also laughed amusingly.

"So our target is gold..." Mr. Trueman glanced at Lynch, who was sitting at the bottom. This "Golden Alliance" plan was originally mentioned by Lynch.

It fits so well with current trends that it was quickly passed after several discussions within the federal government.

None of the difficult senators in Congress raised any objections to the plan.

The abstention is to prove that the congressional vote is fair and .

At this time, the real planner was like an ordinary participant, looking at the document seriously, which made Mr. Trueman amused.

"Federal Sol will benchmark against gold, and we will announce the exchange rate and adjustment cycle later. During the cycle, anyone...", he stretched out a finger and emphasized, "Anyone can It can be exchanged for gold of the same value from the federal bank or even the treasury!"

"Of course, we have determined that the exchange rate of the Federal Sol is not entirely based on gold. We also refer to the weights of technology and social development, which will be discussed one by one in a larger meeting later. Disclosure details."

The credit currency system has not yet been fully established, and the reason is that the status of various countries in the world fluctuates greatly.

The exchange rate may change greatly due to some changes anytime and anywhere, which makes "credit" sometimes not so "credible".

Under the background that the world pattern is still changing and catalyzing larger changes, it is difficult to build a credit currency system.

No one can believe that the Federation has always been in the forefront of the world. The era of Gafra has ended, and it is difficult to guarantee that the era of the future Federation will not end.

Therefore, in the context of this society and the times, it is the most appropriate choice to benchmark and link with valuable technologies.

No matter how the status of the country changes, at least the price of gold does not fluctuate much.

Even if it was affected so violently this time, it only fell by more than 20% to less than 30%. This is still the result of some groups' frantic suppression.

It won't be long before it rises back up, naturally.

This is different from silver. Once it falls, there is no chance to get up again.

In addition to these weightings of technology and production value, it is also a reasonable weighting reason. As a country's national strength continues to increase, the purchasing power of its currency will naturally increase. This is a very complicated calculation process, and those in the federal government can solve it.

This meeting, it is not the final resolution meeting.

Mr. Truman's words undoubtedly told these people that the Federal Sol will become the main settlement currency in this alliance.

Aside from looking at Diplomat Gevra's face like a relative's sudden death, other countries did not actually respond much to this proposal.

The birth of "Alliance Currency" has made them realize the value and benefits of this alliance currency.

Otherwise, they will always have to face the various negative effects of the exchange rate in the surplus and deficit. With a unified currency, whether it is imports or exports, the impact will be reduced to a certain extent regardless of the surplus or deficit.

Coupled with the trade matching within the alliance, it greatly enhances trade exchanges and reduces various losses caused by currency and currency.

At this time, a diplomat suddenly proposed an idea, "Mr. Truman, as a member state, can our currency exchange rate float with reference to the float of the Federal Sol?"

Mr. Trueman was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lynch, who also raised his head to look at Mr. Trueman.

The eyes of the two met in the air, and then Lynch shook his head slightly, and Mr. Truman shook his head immediately, "This issue is rather troublesome, it involves a lot of content, we need to discuss it carefully before we can have an accurate answer. conclusion.”

A polite refusal, the diplomat who proposed the idea smiled, and there was no apparent disappointment.

The exchange rate fluctuation is actually a very market-oriented behavior. The currency itself is a commodity and must comply with the rules of the free market.

Unless like the Commonwealth, they can provide sufficient gold reserves, floating parameters such as weighted national power production value, otherwise it is generally not recommended to have any reference to the exchange rate of any currency.

This will have a terrifying impact on both sides. Whoever has evil thoughts will be unlucky first.

Of course, it may be more effective to hold a group at certain times, but this is only suitable for political needs at special times and at special stages. It cannot be like this all the time. It is an abnormal currency relationship.

At this point in the meeting, there is not much to say. After answering some detailed questions, the meeting is over.

It is just a simple mobilization. After each diplomat goes back, he has to discuss with the political subjects behind them before they can have a definite answer.

How to participate and the degree of participation need to be discussed in order to have results.

At about twelve o'clock, Lynch and Mr. Trueman came out of the building of the Department of International Affairs together. The two rode in the car and stopped at a restaurant in the city center that was not closed.

A very ordinary restaurant.

There are too many night workers in Bupen, and besides those girls, there are many normal clerks or something.

They need to be in the office as soon as possible to reflect their value, so they will stay up late to work.

After midnight, people will feel hungry, and they need to eat urgently.

These small restaurants are prepared for these people, thanks to the better public security environment in Bupen than other cities - it is only limited to the city center.

It is still not recommended to leave the house after 8 p.m. in places beyond the city center, but the city center is still very lively and relatively safe at night.

There are also some shops in operation.

Lynch stopped the car. He looked out the window at the restaurant on the side of the road and looked back at Mr. Truman. "Have something to eat?"

Mr. Trueman hesitated, "I'm getting in shape, my wife says I'm gaining weight..."

"I saw the menu."

Mr. Trueman was silent for a while, then pushed open the car door, "Then what are you waiting for?"

Lynch also got out of the car with a smile.

The restaurant is run by a foreigner. It looks a bit... shabby and not upscale. It should be an earlier immigrant~IndoMTL.com~ Two beef ribs, each one pork sausage, what else do you want? ", Lynch looked at Mr. Trueman.

The latter looked at the menu and hesitated, "Let's have some more vegetables, we should maintain healthy eating habits."

"Then add a serving of vegetables!" Lynch said, taking out his wallet, "How much?"

"Eighteen dollars."

After Lynch paid twenty dollars and said there was no need to look for it, he found a side table.

Two Blackstone Security employees walked into the store and into the back hall. They needed to watch the cooking process without being touched, and at the same time be careful not to enter the back door.

There are security committee agents watching at the door, extremely safe.

"Do you think the Gafras are going to be a ghost?" Mr. Trueman asked after the two lit a cigarette.

Lynch was smoking a cigarette and was putting a lighter in his pocket, which made his answer a little vague, "Of course, they will never watch us build the alliance."

"But we don't need to be overly nervous, they'll soon run out of time and energy to pay attention to us."

Mr. Trueman was a little surprised, "What happened?"
