"Hehe, Brother Chen is indeed Brother Chen. He understands everything as soon as he explains it. Unlike my father, it took him a long time to explain what I wanted to do." Li Yulong gave Chen Xin a top hat.
Qin Lan on the side heard Chen Xin talking about the black market, and understood what Li Yulong wanted to do, and immediately frowned: "Isn't there already a black market in the city?"
There is indeed a black market in the city. Although it was formed spontaneously, it also formed a channel for the exchange of goods between various shelters.
The city was aware of the existence of the black market but did not crack down on it.
In the view of the city government, this can be regarded as a channel for communication between various shelters, allowing them to exchange their needs, so it acquiesces to its existence.
Li Yulong naturally knew this, but he smiled nonchalantly and said: "Sister Qin, what you said is not a black market. The so-called black market in the city is just a place to exchange things between several shelters, and the real The black market is far worse than that. I want to build a truly professional and standardized black market that can collect and distribute materials and buy and sell resources... "
"What you want to do is just a trading platform that is under your control and you can take a commission, right?" Although Li Yulong boasted very powerfully, Chen Xin saw through his intention at a glance: "You said you want to build a base, which means you To create a place under your control, you will not directly participate in the transaction, but only provide a trading platform for others, but you can charge handling fees.”
After being exposed by Chen Xin about his true intentions, Li Yulong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on his face: "Look at what you said, Brother Chen, I am also providing convenience for everyone and making a little money on the way..."
However, Chen Xin did not pay attention to Li Yulong, but continued: "If you want to build such a trading platform, you must at least have a certain amount of capital, and you must have force to protect it. At the same time, you must have enough people among the people who come to trade. Credibility and prestige, these are not problems if it is your father who comes forward.
In addition to these, if you want to build such a trading platform, the key point is that you cannot let people who come to trade continue to barter, because in this way you will neither make money nor provide services to others.
Because for those who come to trade, if they just barter, the original black market can do it, so you must provide valuation and equivalents. In other words, your real purpose is to control the right to issue currency. I am right. ? "
Chen Xin looked at Li Yulong, his eyes were stern and intimidating, but he also felt some admiration for this rich second generation.
Being able to think of these things at this time, and even more planning to put them into action, Li Yulong can be regarded as a person regardless of ambition or ability.
But Qin Lan on the side still frowned and asked Chen Xin in confusion: "If this is the case, it is impossible for the city government to allow this kind of trading market to exist. It is completely out of state control. And even if the city government doesn't care, What does he use as an equivalent, and why should others believe him? It's impossible to use bottle caps like the radiation wasteland, right?"
Regarding Qin Lan's question, although Chen Xin guessed what Li Yulong was thinking, he still shook his head and looked at Li Yulong: "You have to ask these questions yourself, Alan, but I think Xiaolong, since you came to me, it should be Has someone given you some advice and made a plan? "
"Brother Chen, you are not wise!" Li Yulong still gave Chen Xin a top hat with a playful smile, but he also explained seriously: "The black market I plan to build, or as you said, brother Chen, is called a trading platform. , you do need permission from the government to start it, but don’t worry about this part, my dad can convince the city government.”
Hearing Li Yulong mention his father, Chen Xin nodded in agreement: "Your father's identity and relationship should not be a problem in persuading the city government. Although the city government has temporarily acquiesced to the existence of the black market, it does not mean that the city government will not take care of it. , it would also be good for the city government for someone to establish a formal and orderly trading market.
It's easy to talk about equivalents. The country is still there. It's not that money can't be used, it's just that we can't buy things now. If the city government gets involved, as long as it promises to collect the money, it won't be a big problem, and it also avoids the market credit problem of making equivalents yourself. "
"Brother Chen, you are so awesome. My dad said the same thing after he understood my thoughts." Li Yulong did not give Chen Xin a high hat this time, but sincerely admired Chen Xin.
After hearing this, Qin Lan basically understood the situation and had some confidence in the establishment of this black market, but she still had unanswered questions: "If this is the case, this black market can indeed be established, but the problem is you To run such a market, you must make money, and the way you make money is simply taking commissions from transactions, but why do people give you money? "
Li Yulong had not yet explained this issue, but Chen Xin laughed.
He looked at Li Yulong with a deep look, smiled at Qin Lan and said: "This may be the reason why he came to me. As a kind of heating equipment, the ground source heat pump is a necessity under the current circumstances. If only If he can provide it on the market, he will naturally attract others to trade with him.
Whether he bartered for things or bought them with money, it was enough for him to accumulate his first resources and make a name for himself. With the first amount of resources, others also know about his place. As long as he gets some daily necessities for everyone, a market will naturally start to operate. "
"Hehe, my dad said the same thing, so Xiao Chen, do you think..." Li Yulong smiled sarcastically and looked at Chen Xin flatteringly.
However, Chen Xin ignored him at this time, but looked at Qin Lan and asked her: "Alan, the official shelter now hires people to work, how do they pay them? In money, or in tokens? Or directly Distribute daily necessities?”
"Official shelters are currently registered based on status, and working hours are registered every month. Those who have 25 working hours can receive sufficient rations and better living materials at the end of the month." Although Qin Lan didn't understand why Chen Xin asked her this question , but still explained to him: "Ordinary people can receive 30 pieces of shelter food every month, which is enough to sustain a person's survival needs for a day; the same goes for working people, but there are two energy bars in their food. And those who don’t work only have one.”
"Just like what I got from your SWAT team." Chen Xin nodded clearly and understood the situation: "Then it seems that there are still some conditions for this to be accomplished."
Since official shelters are still distributing supplies directly, it is obvious that the so-called currency, that is, general equivalents, has not yet been formed.
Without the emergence of general equivalents, market transactions can only remain in the barter transaction mode. (End of chapter)
