The business of the Iron Armored City of the 'Castle' can be roughly divided into two parts: the external system and the internal system.
The external system refers to the external business systems such as the ‘Castle Shop’, ‘Newspaper Company’ and ‘Liquor Store’.
The internal system, according to the idea of Li Yinguang and military advisor Bai Youxuan, is to create an internal cycle in a short period of time. In the future, as long as you are in the Iron Armor City, you can buy any item just like in the outside world, as long as there is a clear market price.
You can buy it in the Iron Armored City.
For the time being, the internal and external business systems of Castle Iron Armor City have not been formed, because the time is too short, and they have to be given enough time to develop these things.
"We need to pay attention to the tobacco company. Although it is only a link in the cycle within the Iron City, it is very important. We should give priority to meeting the needs of the Iron City. When the production capacity is sufficient in the future, we can also sell it to outsiders to generate income!"
Li Yinguang said seriously to Alma.
Alma had a sullen face and nodded. She didn't know if it was because of postpartum depression. It seemed that after giving birth, this 'old sister' smiled less and less.
In fact, neither Alma nor anyone else realizes how important and profitable the tobacco industry is.
If it is done well, its benefits will definitely exceed those of industrial companies such as the "Castle Shop", "Newspaper Industry" and "Liquor Store".
For the time being, the tobacco company in Castle Iron City is still in the exploratory stage, with no materials and no products.
"Tobacco companies are the top priority. Don't just nod. The first thing you have to focus on next is this!"
Li Yinguang specifically reminded him.
Maybe you will take it seriously if you say it once, but I would like to emphasize it again. Everyone here knows the importance of the 'Tobacco Company' in the Castle.
It is not difficult to buy tobacco in Qingzhou City, and there should be a lot of choices in terms of types. Tobacco procurement is not a simple matter. Regarding the machine for rolling cigarettes, Li Yinguang has already asked Buhe to lead people to work on it. The model
Shouldn't be difficult to make.
"In addition to the upcoming internal and external business activities of the Castle, it also needs to purchase a large amount of materials. I will compile a list later..."
Li Yinguang talked a lot one after another, which was a bit cumbersome, but it mainly revolved around the "Fort Commercial Development Company" and the "Internal Business System of Iron Armor City". The main line was relatively clear.
Li Yinguang thought of something and asked the housekeeper Geda: "How many silver cattle coins do we have available on our books?"
The housekeeper Geda smiled bitterly and shook his head: "We need to count the details, but there won't be many. First of all, when we came out, we carried a certain number of silver bull coins, but when we purchased basic energy gems in Guifengshan Town, we spent
Lost a lot."
More than 300 ordinary energy gems were purchased in Guifeng Mountain. These gems basically consumed most of the working capital of Castle Iron Armor City. In addition to the funds brought out from Manbach Town, they were also looted.
The harvest of Changling and Liegen.
Of course, in addition to the few silver ox coins in the castle's armored city, there are also a lot of properties in the treasure secret room. They were all looted from the 'Changling' and 'Liegen'. If they were liquidated and sold, the ancient castle would
Castle can obtain a large amount of silver bull coins in a short period of time.
But things like silver bull coins are only the most basic things. To maintain their value, they have to be those treasures in the treasure secret room. It is easy to sell them and exchange them for silver bull coins, but it is necessary to buy them back with silver bull coins.
It's not that easy.
Li Yinguang had a rough idea of the financial situation in the Iron Armored City. After thinking about it, he raised his head and asked the military officer Bai Youxuan: "Is there any way to collect all the silver bull coins from the employees in the Iron Armored City as soon as possible?
Change it to 'Castle Coin'?"
Bai Youxuan frowned slightly, this was not a good job, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She nodded and said: "It's not difficult to find a way. The main reason is that the 'currency' system in the Iron Armor City has not been established yet, that is,
He said, we haven’t decided yet what material the ‘Castle Coin’ will be made of!”
Material?
Li Yinguang's eyes flickered and he said: "Using metal materials takes up more space and wastes resources. How about using animal skin? It is small and convenient, and easy to carry!"
The Obsidian Empire itself has 'Silver Pictures of Animal Skins', but they are used to exchange for large amounts of silver bull coins, and they are carefully drawn with high-grade animal skins. They have extremely strong anti-counterfeiting capabilities, and the animal skins themselves are
Expensive products have their own value, so they are not easy to counterfeit.
But in the Iron Armored City of the Castle, if we want to implement the "Animal Skin Silver Pattern", it is definitely not possible to use high-grade animal skins first, because what we want to make are all low-grade currency silver patterns, and they can't be found in the Iron Armored City of the Castle.
There are so many high-level animal skins coming out.
Using low-grade animal skins will face two other dilemmas. First, the recognition is low, and second, the possibility of being counterfeited is high. This is high and the other is low, which Bai Youxuan thinks is difficult to solve.
"In terms of anti-counterfeiting?" Bai Youxuan asked tentatively.
Li Yinguang thought for a moment and said sharply: "For the time being, we will make low-level tokens, mainly copper coins and silver coins. The copper coins will be called 'one-cent' castle coins from now on, and the silver coins will be called 'one-dollar' castle coins."
, among the two currencies, adding a 'ten cents' castle coin, the exchange rate is that 'ten cents' is equal to 'ten cents', and 'ten cents' is equal to 'one yuan'.
In the future, denominations such as ten yuan, twenty yuan, fifty yuan, and one hundred yuan will be added to the castle coins, but for now, the main ones are "one yuan".
I am the Lord of the City and I have ordered that anyone who forges the 'Castle Coin' will be punished with death. As for anti-counterfeiting, we will make an experimental version for the time being and use it first. We will continue to study the official version. After the official version is drawn, we will recycle and replace the 'experimental version'.
Castle coins!”
At present, Li Yinguang's prestige in the Castle Armored City is sufficient, and no one should dare to take such risks for the time being.
Just in case, Li Yinguang looked at Lan Ling and said, "Leave the responsibility of supervision and prevention to the 'Inspection Brigade'!"
After a slight pause, he continued: "Didn't you nominate Ou Lan to be the first captain of the Supervisory Brigade? Do you have any opinions?"
Everyone shook their heads slightly. What opinions could they have? The 'Supervision Brigade' itself is under the control of the 'Iron Armor City Ministry of Internal Affairs'. As the Minister of Internal Affairs, Lan Ling has absolute power to appoint personnel. If they now intervene in the management of the 'Ministry of Internal Affairs'
Things, then if they do something in the future, won’t people come and intervene?
There is no need to say much about the unspoken rules.
Li Yinguang nodded and said to Ou Lan: "Minister Lan Ling has promoted you to the captain of the 'Inspection Brigade' and you will take office immediately!"
Ou Lan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a straight face...
