<=""></> There has been a strange phenomenon in the market in the 6th block recently. What is it specifically... .
"One kilogram of 4 sub-crystals? Why don't you go and grab it!" The mercenary standing next to the stall couldn't help shouting with a lump of gold nuggets in his hands.
The vendor yawned and glanced sideways at the survivor<="l">.
"You don't have to pay for the explosives to blow up the vault? You don't have to pay to retrieve the things? Don't think that gold is easy to pick up. I even encountered a deathclaw that wasn't fully dead in the basement. Okay, don't block the way if you don't want to buy it. , you may not be able to buy it after a while.”
After hesitating for a moment, the mercenary threw Yajing on the vendor, picked up a few gold ingots from the stall, threw them on the electronic scale and weighed two kilograms. Although the bank's gold ingots have the PAC specification code printed on them, it is safer to weigh them.
He picked up the sub-crystal with a smile and put it on the quality detector. After confirming that the points were enough for 16 sub-crystals, the stall owner put the few sub-crystals into his bag.
Looking at the gold nugget in his hand with some pain, the mercenary finally put the gold in his arms and walked quickly out of tune.
The price of 4 sub-crystals per kilogram can be said to be cheap for gold. As for why? You know, a can can cost 10 sub-crystals. This is equivalent to saying that this kilogram of gold can only be exchanged for a pack of instant noodles.
But judging from the expression on the mercenary's face, he was still dissatisfied with the price.
Don't blame him for being dissatisfied.
After all, gold is of little use to people in the wasteland. Most of what is needed in industry can also be recycled from other electronic parts. In the years before the end of the world, some people did hoard a lot of gold, but almost all of them starved to death in the end.
The value of gold is due to its rarity, corrosion resistance, and widespread value recognition. Relative to a population of tens of billions, the gold within pac's territory does have sufficient value. But now the entire earth does not know how many hundreds of millions of people can be found, and the world's gold can be divided evenly. Everyone can almost get tens of thousands of tons. Is the value of gold still so safe
The answer is obviously no.
But in this case, why would the mercenary use Ya Jing to exchange for the gold in the hands of the stall owner
The main reason is still because. There are too many Yajings in the sixth block now!
NAC dropped rockets on a large scale in Wanghai City. The spectacular scene really frightened the survivors in the Sixth Block. Half of the city's aliens and zombies were burned to the ground. The miserable situation was like hell.
And then they were shocked again by the generosity of the NAC government.
Whoever picks up the Yajing will own it, and only needs to hand over 10% of it as the profit of the military government. After all, the rocket was set off by the military government. This order was somewhat difficult to execute, as the tax collection mainly relied on the tax collection point at the city gate. Fortunately, the tax collection ratio was not high, and the survivors were quite cooperative. Moreover, the existence of a bank also makes it much easier to check accounts.
But even so, the survivors in the base still made a fortune.
If you work hard, you can earn seven to eight hundred a day. Even those who are slow can easily earn four to five hundred. There are corpses of alien species all over the ground. There is no need to fight. All you need to do is use a knife to separate the dried charcoal blocks.
It’s not just the survivors in the camp who are getting rich, NAC soldiers also participated in organized body-picking activities. It would be almost half a month later when the alien species and zombies in the eastern urban area slowly spread back.
In just half a month, everyone had thousands or even nearly ten thousand sub-crystals in their hands. There was not a single poor person in the entire Sixth District.
If we only use Yajing to judge the rich and the poor.
The survivors of District 6 have never been richer, but this wealth is extremely dangerous<="l"> The per capita wealth has far exceeded the total amount of goods in the market. Even if the factories in the Sixth District were running at full speed for ten years, they would not be able to digest these sub-crystals.
following. That is, commodity prices have skyrocketed. The price of cans has increased from 10 sub-crystals to 50 sub-crystals, but they are still out of stock. Steel, which was originally lowered due to the second expedition, once again soared back to the peak of 100 sub-crystals per ton. And there is a price but no market.
Then, there is the return of luxury value.
Jewelry, gold, gemstones... these things that were originally regarded as useless in the apocalypse have reappeared on the market. Many wealthy businessmen and mercenaries, after depositing Yajing in the bank, selected some gold and jewelry as investments for the future. The price of gold has "skyrocketed" from the initial steel price of 100 sub-crystals per ton to the current 4 sub-crystals per kilogram.
In fact, there is such a thing as collecting gold. The main thing is to bet on expectations. If order can be restored in this wasteland in the future, gold will eventually show its value.
It was just that the United World Organization launched colonial ships. Ruined most people's expectations. But the emergence of NAC gave the survivors in Wanghai City hope of re-execution. As a result, expectations for gold have heated up again.
Naturally, gold became valuable again.
"It is not a good thing for everyone to have money. If there are not enough goods to meet the consumption of survivors, many capable people will take Yajing to consume elsewhere. After all, Yajing is hard currency in the wasteland. Life in Suzhou or Hangzhou may not be better than here, but if you spend 10,000 Yajing there, you will definitely become a rich man."
In the virtual conference room, Chu Nan stood in front of the conference table and reported to Jiang Chen the situation in the Sixth District.
"What's your countermeasure?" Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice, touching his chin.
"The first step is to maintain the stability of the supply of materials in the market."
"The second step is the one we must take no matter what. Moderate inflation can stimulate economic growth, but excessive inflation will cause the market itself to die. The scary thing is not inflation, but that inflation is out of our control." Chu Nan said in a deep voice.
"You mean, issuing currency?" Jiang Chen guessed after listening to Chu Nan's words.
"Yes, this is a top priority." Chu Nan nodded approvingly.
"Issuing currency...but with what guarantee?" Jiang Chen asked.
gold? There is too much gold, not only in the hands of the survivors, but also in Wanghai City. Moreover, although the value of gold has been recognized in the Sixth District, it is not enough to become a hard currency outside Suzhou and Hangzhou.
You know, the estimated global gold reserves are 60 trillion tons, which is about the same as iron. As of 2005, there were 89,000 tons of proven mineral deposits and 125,000 tons of gold mined. God knows what this number was before the war in 2171.
Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Chu Nan smiled mysteriously, obviously prepared for it.
"Marshal, think carefully about what has a stable demand, and the quantity is controlled by us."
need? control
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, but then showed an expression of surprise.
"Is it... food?"
"That's right! We can use food as security for currency!" Chu Nan said with a smile. (.)<=""><=""><="">
