In the last row, a middle-aged man in his forties stood up.
"Hello everyone, my name is Sun Taidou. I am 45 years old. I graduated from the University of Maryland before the end of the world. I have a PhD. I am an assistant professor at the HSBC Business School at BJ University. I once served as a consultant for the World Bank."
"The main research directions in the past were macroeconomics, monetary economics, quantitative model algorithms, macro asset pricing..."
After he finished speaking, he did not stop immediately.
After taking a look at Li Yu at the top, he said, "City Lord, I think there are big problems with the currency system in the current trading market."
Dongtai, who had originally planned to ask him to sit down, frowned when he heard what he said.
The city lord hasn't even asked you yet, but you say there's a big problem. Is this showing off?
Just as he was about to speak, he saw the city lord raise his head and look at Sun Taidou.
"Oh? What's the problem? Tell me?"
Monetary policy expert Son Taidou heard that Li Yu was interested and quickly said:
"Currency is actually a standard item used to exchange goods. Currency in economics, in a narrow sense, is a standard item used to exchange goods;"
"Broadly speaking, it is an item used as a medium of exchange, a measure of value, a means of payment, and a store of value. Specifically speaking, currency has the functions of a medium of exchange, a standard of value, a deferred payment standard, a store of value, etc..."
"Tell me the key points." Before he could finish speaking, Li Yu knocked on the table, signaling for him to go faster.
Hearing Li Yu urging him, Sun Taidou quickly got to the point,
"City Lord, the current transactions in the base are mainly through barter. If this method is suitable for a small team, it is completely acceptable."
“But for our oil city and trading bazaar, it’s not really applicable.”
"The barter method has low circulation efficiency and a narrow exchange range. It is difficult to find the items you want to exchange. For many people, it is quite difficult to match what they want to buy with what the seller needs.
High."
When Sun Taidou said this, he carefully observed the expressions of the big guys on both sides of the table, and then focused his attention mainly on the young man at the top.
Because he knew that this young man was the most powerful person in the oil city and even the trading market.
If you can gain his favor, your life will be much easier in the future.
"Go on, finish." Li Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at him with interest.
"OK."
Sun Taidou continued:
"I heard several other leaders mention that we will gradually promote the use of bullets as 'currency' in the future. I wonder if our base has enough bullets in stock."
"Although the bullet itself also carries valuable attributes, there are some uncontrollable factors when using bullets as currency."
"First, bullets are not unique to us. Other forces also have bullets. The total amount of currency is uncontrollable. This is actually a big problem in terms of currency utilization, which can easily lead to various troubles later.
"
"Secondly, although a single bullet is not heavy, if you want to purchase a large number of items, you need to carry bullets weighing dozens or even hundreds of kilograms for transactions, which is very inconvenient..."
"Then what do you think? Don't be pretentious and tell me quickly." Dongtai said impatiently.
"It's okay." Li Yu waved his hand and motioned to Dongtai to sit down and not disturb him to listen to Sun Taidou's words.
Sun Taidou licked his dry lips and saw that the city lord's interest had been aroused on his own.
Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost complete, he was worried that he would not have the chance to finish if he continued to lay the groundwork, so he said directly,
"I think we can definitely use the points system currently used in oil cities and trading bazaars to expand the functions of points and form an invisible currency."
"In fact, this form was already widely used before the end of the world."
"We can integrate the points system into transactions in the trading market."
Li Yu became more and more interested as he listened, and asked with great interest:
"How to use it? The scope of use of points is limited. How do you plan to specifically apply it in the trading market scenario?"
In fact, in the Da Zhangshu Base, points are almost used like currency.
Many cooperating personnel, non-staff personnel, and even people in inner and outer cities can store points, and after obtaining a certain amount, they can exchange them for food and other supplies.
However, the trading market is divided into five levels, and most people are still at level five.
and,
Almost all the points in the Da Zhangshu Base are earned by these people after they have worked hard or made some kind of contribution.
However, what is needed in the trading market is to act as a medium for the exchange of materials.
In other words, it is not necessary to earn points through contribution and labor.
Obviously, the current points system cannot meet the demand for item exchange in the trading market.
"The question you asked, City Lord, is very critical and hits the nail on the head!"
Sun Taidou took the opportunity to flatter Li Yu.
continued:
"In order to solve the problem of how to obtain points, I think we can use a two-point integration system to divide the points into: transaction points and contribution points."
"Trading points, as the name suggests, are designed to solve the needs of both buyers and sellers in the trading market. Buyers first take their belongings to the exchange hall of our trading market, estimate the price, and exchange them for a corresponding number of trading points, and then
Then take this transaction points and go to the business district to buy the supplies they need."
“This method can enhance and expand the storage of various items in our oil city.
"Sellers can also purchase goods from us and use points, and we can also obtain a certain profit margin from it. After all, the pricing power is in our hands."
"We can participate in all transactions in the trading market."
When the third uncle sitting on the left side of Li Yu heard this, he raised his head, which had been lowered, and looked at this monetary policy expert. Unexpectedly, this man really had two skills.
Many people present focused their attention on Sun Taidou.
Dongtai was the only one who was a little unhappy. Sun Taidou had probably thought of this thing for a long time and never came up with it.
I asked him related questions before, and although he also put forward some professional opinions, compared with the point-as-currency plan proposed today, those previous opinions seemed very mediocre.
He didn't say anything before, but he didn't say it until the city lord arrived.
He was unhappy, but he continued to listen carefully.
Sun Taidou's face flushed when he saw so many people looking at him. The feeling of scolding Fang Qiu and pointing out the country before the end of the world came back.
"The contribution points are the ones used now, and the contribution points do not need to be changed."
"However, I think that in order to increase the frequency of points being used in the trading market and enhance the influence of points, this form can be used:
Contribution points can be converted into transaction points according to the proportion, and transaction points can also be exchanged for various materials."
"To put it simply, contribution points can be exchanged for transaction points and used in the trading market, but transaction points cannot be exchanged for contribution points."
Speaking of this, Sun Taishan became more and more excited.
"City Lord."
"Currency is the soul and image of a country or a force, and it is the least likely to be replaced."
"It is also a credit endorsement of a country or force."
"Issuing a certain currency alone requires credit endorsement."
"But on this point, our Oil City has a strong trust endorsement. Not long after the horrific thunderstorm natural disaster passed, the survivors in the trading market all recognized the strength of our trading market. This is a guarantee."
"We can resist even this kind of horrific thunderstorm natural disaster, let alone others.
This provides them with a good credit endorsement for using our points,
In addition, the strict system in the trading market ensures a stable order in the trading market, and a stable enough environment allows them to use it with confidence and boldness."
"and."
"In the future, points can play a great role as currency and enhance the influence of Oil City."
...
...
Sun Taishan should have thought about this a long time ago, and his crackling speech output was very coherent, with almost no stagnation.
Moreover, all aspects have been considered very comprehensively, and the implementation is very implementable, with almost no loopholes.
You can even adjust it and use it directly.
Sun Taidou swallowed his dry throat and finally said:
"The above are my superficial thoughts and opinions on the current currency system in the trading market. If adopted, appropriate adjustments can be made during specific implementation."
Quiet.
There was silence in the conference room for a while, as everyone seemed to be digesting what he said.
Li Yu squinted his eyes and fell into thinking. It was interesting to follow Sun Taidou's method.
In this way, the first pricing power of all items is in the hands of their oil city, and all transactions in the trading market can be controlled.
Even later, due to the points monetary policy, it spread to other places, and trading points were used by more and more people outside. By using the points of the trading market, the influence of the trading market was invisibly expanded.
The most important thing is that this can also store a large amount of various materials for Oil City, providing a steady stream of fuel for the development of the trading market and even the headquarters base.
Just imagine, countless survivors come to the trading market to redeem points with various supplies. If you need these supplies at the Zhangshu Base, the North, or the Oil City, you can get them directly.
Come and use it.
It is also helpful to digest the things produced by the factories in the Da Zhangshu base.
very nice.
Li Yu's eyes were shining, and the smile on his lips became more obvious.
"Yes, the idea you proposed is very good and has strong practicality."
He looked at the senior officials of the oil city on the left and right, "How is it? What do you think?"
Ju Tianrui looked at his third uncle and saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he stood up and said:
"I think Sun Taidou's idea is quite good. We just set up an area as a warehouse transportation area, which can store a large number of various materials to meet the point currency plan."
"Yeah." Li Yu looked at Lao Luo next to him.
Lao Luo frowned and said, "The idea is good, but what about the tools for increasing and decreasing points?"
"We contribute points. In the past, individuals would remember the points themselves, and when they wanted to exchange for supplies, statisticians would deduct and increase them on the computer."
"But now we have to face so many survivors. They are not trading directly with us, but with other sellers. What certificates do they have?"
This question is quite specific.
Lao Zhou, who had retreated from the northern border together, said with a smile:
"This is quite simple."
"Don't we have a lot of computers? It's very simple to use these computers to build a local area network that covers the entire trading market."
"Install one for each seller, and you can naturally see each buyer's information and remaining points from the computer. Once the purchase is completed, the corresponding points will be deducted."
"If we were more careful, we could have produced a batch of IC cards. Anyway, it's not difficult to make such a thing."

........
When a meeting was held in Oil City, many people gathered at the entrance of Tingfeng Building in the trading market.
"Wucao, isn't that the former big star Yang Mi?"
"Who is Yang Mi?" a young man in his early twenties asked doubtfully.
A middle-aged man next to him glanced at him and felt relieved after seeing his age.
"You are still young and don't know that rice is normal."
"I didn't expect Da Mimi to come to the trading market. I didn't even know about it. I used to like her very much."
"Look at the way you are licking a dog. You don't even know what time it is. It's the end of the world! But you said this rice is really good. It's been five years since the end of the world and you're not hungry yet."
Someone also shouted:
"When can Sister Da Mi open for business? I want to come and play!"
There were also some decent gentlemen who looked at the miserable appearance of those people and sighed with emotion:
"The world has changed, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. Now, a top-notch star wants to join Tingfeng Tower just for a bite to eat. It's so sinful. What a world! It's disgusting!... What the hell,
Cousin, lend me some food."
"Don't you have it? Why do you need so much food?"
"I want to go to Tingfeng Tower and have a candlelit night chat with Ms. Dami about life and ideals."
"Didn't you just say that people's hearts are old? Hypocrisy!"
"Cousin, you don't understand. I appreciate her ability to survive the apocalypse. I admire her tenacious vitality and stubborn soul!"
"I think you are after someone else's body, you are despicable!"
"How can you say that a romantic affair is despicable?"
"roll!"
"Lend it to me, I'm afraid I don't have enough..."
"roll!"
"Please..."
"Go away, I'm not enough."
"Ah? Cousin, aren't you enough?"
"I'm also going to discuss my life ideals with Ms. Dami."
"..."
.......
The entrance of Tingfeng Building.
Huizi, the person in charge of Tingfeng Tower, looked at the Yang Mi carefully.
Look at this Dami Mi who looks like she is in her forties, but still has her charm.
It seems that he has gone through many vicissitudes of life, and there is something in Da Mimi's eyes that makes me feel pity for his fragility.
At this time, Damimi pursed her lips and walked up to Kezi.
"Boss Keiko, can I join Tingfeng Tower?"
Keiko had a mole on the corner of her mouth, and she grinned after hearing what Dami said.
The mole at the corner of your mouth becomes more and more obvious.
"Of course, of course, come on, you will be our number one in Tingfeng Tower from now on!"
I thought to myself: This is such a money tree! It has come at the perfect time. With this money tree, the development of Tingfeng Tower will only get better and better in the future.
As soon as I arrived, there were so many people surrounding me outside.
The celebrity effect is really good.
Even if her appearance has faded with age, she is still extremely attractive to most men.
