Chapter 319 Kizaru was awakened, new inspiration appeared!
After confirming that there was no problem with the style of the currency, Kizaru and the two of them moved on to the second, more important topic, which was the recycling and exchange of old currency.
Regarding such professional issues, Huang Yuan personally did not have much knowledge reserves, so he chose to leave professional matters to professionals.
Regarding the exchange of old and new currencies, Xiangshu and the president of the Chamber of Commerce had already considered it. Before coming to meet with Kizaru, the two held a core meeting within the Chamber of Commerce and only invited trustworthy bankers and economists.
family to participate.
At the meeting, the result of the discussion was that a 1:1 exchange was recommended. After all, the existing currency system is operating very healthily, and there is no need to suddenly adjust the currency value.
At the same time, 1:1 exchange is more beneficial to the stability of the situation and the comfort of people's hearts.
Money is extremely important to everyone! How can we not need it for food, clothing, housing and transportation?
You suddenly tell everyone that you are going to take back everyone's money, destroy it, and replace it with new ones. For most families, this is an unsettling thing.
Under such circumstances, if the currency value is changed, 1 for 2, or 2 for 1, it will cause shock to the country.
The former will make everyone feel that they have less money in their hands, and the latter will lead to inflation.
After considering many aspects, Xiangshu and the president both chose to urge Kizaru to agree to a 1:1 exchange.
"I understand. What you said makes sense, so I'll do what you said. I'll leave the currency exchange to your Chamber of Commerce for specific implementation. I'll have someone come and connect with you." Kizaru smiled.
He said that he already had a suitable candidate in mind.
Seeing that the Hokage agreed with his and others' suggestions, Xiangshu and the president both raised their heads and looked at Kizaru happily.
"You guys work hard. The village will soon establish a Ministry of Finance. Based on your current performance, you will definitely have no problem entering the Ministry of Finance! But what level of position you will be awarded will depend on your long-term performance."
As he spoke, Kizaru observed the expressions of the two people. When he saw the movement in their eyes and the excitement overflowing, he knew that the two people had taken the bait.
In order to make the two of them bite harder, and to better utilize their subjective initiative, Kizaru drew a bigger pie for them.
"I've always been a person who employs people without trust and doesn't trust people with suspicion. Since I have used you, it means that I have complete trust in you. Just let go of the tasks I entrust you and do them well. If you do them well,
, even for the position of Minister of Finance, you still hope to compete!"
If the small cake that Kizaru drew just now only excited the two of them, then the big cake that followed made them completely excited.
After all, this is the position of Minister of Finance of the Kingdom of Light. What is the concept? This basically represents the highest person in charge of the economic field of the entire continent.
"Hokage-sama, I promise with my life that I will complete every task you give me." Xiangshu was much younger than the president, and his head turned faster, and he quickly showed his loyalty.
The 54-year-old president of the Chamber of Commerce quickly followed up and said: "Hokage-sama, your trust and magnanimity really make me burst into tears! You are truly a hero that has not been seen in a thousand years!"
"Hahaha!" Although he knew that this old guy was flattering him, Kizaru was still in a good mood after being praised. "It's too much. You should say less of these flattery words in the future and focus on doing things."
"What I said is true! I promise you that I will do my best to complete your mission." The old president lowered his head and said.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news!" Kizaru said with a smile.
"Yes!" The elder of the old church responded loudly and vigorously.
After doing all this, the old president looked vaguely at the rural tree beside him, with a hint of warning.
Obviously, Xiangshu's previous answer made the old president aware of this young man's ambition.
There is only one position for Finance Minister, and there will eventually be a struggle between the two.
Kizaru, who was sitting in the main seat, noticed the little actions of the two people and did not criticize them. He just said with a smile: "By the way, there is one more thing that I will leave to you to do together. You can write it yourself after you go back.
Bring me a copy of the banking regulations."
"Yes!" they both replied almost simultaneously.
"Okay, there is nothing else to do. You can go back! I have a lot of things to do today, so I won't let you have dinner. When you come back next time, I will personally hold a celebration banquet for you."
"Thank you, Hokage-sama!" The two of them replied almost at the same time.
After finishing speaking, the two stood up slowly, bowed their heads slightly, saluted Kizaru again, and then stepped back to leave.
Watching the two of them retreat, Kizaru suddenly thought of a question, "Do you two usually go to places like okiya to play?"
"When I was young, I loved to play. Now that I am older and unable to do so, I go to watch performances from time to time." The old president supported his waist and said mockingly.
"My wife has a rather fiery personality, so I am only qualified to go when there is a business reception." Xiangshu said with a wry smile.
"I think you're not afraid of Madam, but you love Madam!"
Kizaru had already known the information about the two of them very clearly. He knew that Xiangshu and his wife started their business, and their starting capital was the dowry brought by Xiangshu's wife.
Mrs. Xiangshu was born into a descendant of a noble family. Her family had a small fortune, and she also knew some officials and nobles. She was of great help to Xiangshu in the early stages of his business.
It is also for this reason that Xiangshu respects his wife very much. Even the shares of the bank they founded together are all in the name of Mrs. Xiangshu.
Faced with Kizaru's teasing, Xiangshu didn't know what to answer and could only smile awkwardly.
"I ask you, if the country tells you that it will ban such places in the future and legislate against the existence of X transactions, what do you think?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kizaru knows that it is difficult to achieve the elimination of X transactions. Legislative crackdowns only change it from public to secret.
Moreover, cracking down on such things can easily cause protests and dissatisfaction among some people, causing Kizaru to lose some people's support.
But Kizaru just feels that once you have made up your mind to do something, you must do it cleanly!
You dig a piece of rotten flesh on your body, and then you stop after digging out the surface, saying it hurts too much. Now this is not bad!
Doing this is nothing more than hiding your ears and comforting your own heart!
"Hokage-sama, regarding this matter, I think the focus should be on two places. The first is the placement of employees after this industry is banned."
Kizaru didn't feel any surprise at the first point the old president said and nodded lightly.
Seeing Kizaru's expression and movements, the old president calmly talked about the second point.
"The second point is that we need to prepare new entertainment methods, or improve old entertainment methods, to divert everyone's attention and give everyone a place to entertain and relax."
The second point raised by the old president made Kizaru's eyes light up. This was an issue that both he and Tobirama had ignored.
Blocking is worse than sparing. In addition to physiological needs, the reason why people now like to visit these places is that there are relatively few entertainment methods in this world and the content is relatively scarce.
The world has been in war and struggle for a long time, and most people naturally do not have the energy to research and design interesting entertainment methods and content.
In such an environment, going to romantic places to relax and unwind has become the choice of most men and a small number of women.
Yes, not only men go to such places to spend money, but women also go there, and most of them are female ninjas.
Of course, except for a few people with sexual orientation issues, most women care about Cowherd's shop.
This point raised by the old president brought a lot of inspiration to Kizaru. When it comes to finance, he is definitely not as good as the two people in front of him, but when it comes to designing new entertainment methods, the inspiration in Kizaru's mind is
too much.
Apart from anything else, radio, television and movies were all part of Kizaru's plan.
As for other card games, Kizaru has only proposed a younger version of a simple card game for children.
If Kizaru is willing to invest his energy, he can definitely come up with several products that are suitable for adults and have experienced market tests in previous lives.
For example, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Three Kingdoms, and Hearthstone are all very classic card games from Kizaru's previous life.
Of course, the history and development of the two worlds are different. If you want to transplant these card games, you need to reskin them.
"Your proposal is very good, are there any more in the future?" Kizaru looked at the old president with expectant eyes.
Facing the Hokage-sama's gaze, the old president opened his mouth, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, and then closed his mouth again.
"Boldly speaking, I have never been guilty of a crime based on my words! Of course, personal attacks do not count. If you attack me personally, it depends on my mood. I can tell you that I am in a very good mood now. How dare you
"I said." Kizaru said half-jokingly.
"Hokage-sama, for my third point, just treat it as just my nonsense. If there is anything wrong, you can interrupt me at any time." The old president said cautiously.
"Why are you whining? Come on, tell me! You don't want to prolong the time so that you can make a living, do you?" Kizaru said with a smile.
"I'll tell you right now." After saying that, the old president paused for a moment, and after sorting out his thoughts in his mind, he continued: "I don't think we should directly ban these stores in a blanket way."
Having said this, the old president paused for a moment and carefully looked at the expression of the Fourth Hokage, but saw that Kizaru's expression was calm, with a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to mind at all.
"These shops do provide skin and meat trading, but skin and meat trading is not all of the business items of some stores. In some shops, skin and meat trading only accounts for a small part of their business scope.
More often than not, these shops provide pure geisha performances, that is, singing, dancing and playing shamisen. Most of the customers in shops where old guys like me go are there to watch the performances.
Therefore, I suggest that the disposal of shops should be based on actual conditions. Some shops that have not committed any serious crimes in the past can be renovated instead of being banned blindly.
In this way, when we later resettle practitioners, we will not only have new placement channels, but also greatly reduce the pressure on the country."
This passage is very long, and the old president spoke it slowly, but it contains his heartfelt words.
Kizaru raised his hands slightly and clapped. He didn't expect that the old president could give him such a big surprise just as the last question before the two left!
After listening to his words, Kizaru realized that he had been exposed to too many related crimes in the past few days, which affected his thinking and emotions. When making decisions, he was a little extreme.
The content of the old president's words awakened Kizaru, causing many thoughts to pop up in his mind.
That's right! Among these romantic places, in fact, only the lower-end ones, which are specially opened for ordinary people, only sell meat.
Most of the mid-to-high-end shops have music, dance, musical instruments and other entertainment performances, and some customers may not just go there just for sex.
I had previously planned to ban all shops selling skin and flesh, which was indeed a bit extreme.
Having figured it out, Kizaru had a satisfied smile on his face and looked at the old president with praise in his eyes.
"That's very good, very good!" Kizaru never hesitates to encourage and reward people who have ideas and abilities. "It's getting late, so you should stay and have a meal together before leaving!"
Facing Kizaru's invitation, both the old president and Xiangshu showed surprise.
What does it mean to be able to have dinner with Hokage-sama? It means that Hokage-sama values and is close to everyone. This is something that is hard to exchange for money!
"Thank you, Hokage-sama, I won't be polite." The old president smiled on the surface, but felt a little unhappy in his heart.
In the opinion of the old president, the reason why Hokage-sama changed his mind and allowed everyone to eat was entirely due to his suggestion just now.
As a result, Xiangshu, a bastard who wanted to compete with me for the position of minister, was able to stay and earn a living while taking advantage of himself, which really made people feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the old president had rich life experience and had seen all kinds of storms and waves in the business world, so he had a good attitude and quickly chose to let go.
Anyway, as long as Hokage-sama understands who deserves the credit for staying for dinner this time.
As for Xiangshu, this restless guy, just treat him as a jobber.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama, thank you, sir, president. I have benefited from the glory of the president today." Xiangshu naturally understood that the old president would not feel comfortable, so he said in a low profile.
"This is all Hokage-sama's kindness!" The old president quickly gave the credit to Kizaru.
"Hahaha! You two! Stop being so polite and sit down again. I'll order people to prepare dinner right now."
Following Kizaru's instructions, the two of them walked back to their positions honestly and stood up again.
Sitting on the main seat, Kizaru did not take any action. He directly transmitted the message to Keiko through the air.
"Sister Keiko, please prepare dinner for three people. I want to have a casual meal with my men."
Suddenly hearing Kizaru's voice, Keiko was slightly startled at first, and then overjoyed. She smiled tenderly and glanced in the direction of the reception room.
The fever has gone down today, but the cough has gotten worse. It feels like my lungs are about to come out.
