Chapter 421 Reasons and Nonsense
Issue new currency?
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
If it was Luo Lan’s previous life, then the so-called issuance of new currency would not cause too much shock.
After all, this kind of thing is actually quite common.
But in the world of pirates...
To be honest, the exchange of new currency has not happened for nearly a thousand years.
Well, the whole world has never had it!
In fact, no one has ever thought that one day the Bailey would be abolished and replaced with a new currency.
"Don't be in a daze, you heard me right, I'm going to issue a new currency!"
"Why?"
Kalina suddenly came to her senses and asked.
In her opinion, this is a thankless task.
First of all, people have long been accustomed to Pele, and there have been no problems in the past thousand years.
Secondly, if you want to completely replace Bailey, even if it is only in the East China Sea under the jurisdiction of Junlin and the New World, it will cost huge manpower and material resources.
Finally, this will create trade difficulties.
After all, the two sides use different currencies.
The reason why Karina thinks so is because...
People in this world have no concept of exchange rates because there has only been one currency in the world.
Therefore, it is intuitive to think that once the currencies are different, the two parties will not be able to trade normally.
Anyway, based on the above three points, Kalina feels that promoting the new currency is a thankless task.
"Okay, I'll answer your questions one by one!"
Luo Lan nodded, then spoke.
"For your first question, Bailey has never had any problems in the past thousand years, so there is no need to overthrow it and start over, right?"
"But have you ever thought about who owns the distribution rights of Pele now?"
"It's in the hands of the World Government!"
"This means that the other party controls everything in Bailey, and has countless ways to use this control to deal a devastating blow to the economy in King's Landing!"
"The reason why they didn't do so now is, on the one hand, because of my relationship with Im, and on the other hand, the World Government doesn't seem to understand how terrible a weapon they have in their hands, let alone how to use it!"
"But one day, they will understand and use it!"
"I know you must want to say that with the relationship between Im and me, the weapons in the hands of the World Government will be the weapons in my hands in the future, right?"
"Today I reiterate once again that although all the evidence shows that Yim and I are mother and son, but..."
"I tell you clearly, although I don't know what went wrong, Yimu and I can't be mother and son. As for the reason, I can't tell you for now!"
“Therefore, the introduction of a new currency to completely replace Bailey is imperative!”
Luo Lan explained very seriously and solemnly.
Then he went on to the second point.
"The second thing you mentioned, human and material resources, and even anti-counterfeiting issues, this is easy to solve!"
"Did you all see the construction work on the west side of King's Landing yesterday?"
"That, is actually a currency factory!"
"Whether it is banknotes or coins, the equipment can be quickly manufactured, and the anti-counterfeiting technology is more than ten times better than the current Bailey. This world..."
“No one can copy it!”
"Finally, regarding the difficulty of trade, or even the inability to trade, this is even simpler!"
“The market...will adjust naturally without our intervention, and after self-regulation, the exchange rate will come into being!”
“Yes, today I will teach you a brand new word, exchange rate!”
blah blah blah...
Then, Luo Lan talked for more than ten minutes before they had a preliminary understanding of the exchange rate and the various basic gameplay related to it.
"As I said just now, in this case, both sides need to hold each other's currency to meet the needs of daily trade."
"However, the actual situation will be that the World Government needs a large amount of King's Coins, while King's demand for Bailey is dispensable. After all... King's current trade with the World Government is almost ten times the trade surplus."
"We have everything they can produce, but they don't have anything we can produce, but they need it, and they need it urgently!"
"If this situation continues, whether it is selling or buying, it will eventually be settled in King's Landing Coins. Not only will Bailey be unable to conduct world trade, but even within the jurisdiction of the World Government, there will be situations where Bailey will not be accepted in order to earn King's Landing Coins, or where discounts will be given as long as King's Landing Coins are paid."
"Over time, the value of Baileys will continue to decline, and inflation will continue to rise. One year from now, you may even have a chance to see a bottle of Coke sold for more than one million Baileys in the World Government area."
"At the same time, the situation where 1 Junlin Coin can be exchanged for 1 Baileys will also occur."
"At this time, we can completely destroy the economy of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons at any time. Even if we don't go to war, we can use economic means to continuously erode the other party's territory until we finally take over the whole world!"
Luo Lan kept talking, while the people present were all stunned.
Economic war?
They have never learned this thing, and have never even heard of it!
"Can we really achieve this without the use of force, relying solely on the economy?"
"What are you thinking? Of course it's impossible!"
As soon as Kalina asked this question, Luo Lan rolled his eyes.
I told you that we can conquer the world through economics, do you really think we can do it without the use of force?
Stop joking. If you don’t have the military power to protect yourself, what’s the use of having strong economic power?
They can use force to confiscate your property at any time, okay?
Therefore, not using force does not mean that force is not needed!
The use of force is necessary!
The only difference is that once you have the necessary and sufficient military force to protect yourself, you can rely on your strong productivity and economic power to overwhelm the enemy.
And there is no need for war.
This is the key!
Of course, Luo Lan wouldn't tell them that none of this really mattered!
The important thing is that on the one hand, Luo Lan can use the opportunity of issuing new coins to recover a large amount of Baileys within his jurisdiction.
Moreover, when the value of Bailey on the World Government side plummeted and the exchange rate against the King's Landing Coin plummeted.
You can use very few King's coins to get a lot of Bailey.
With the large amount of Bailey recovered from his own jurisdiction and the Bailey exchanged from the World Government, Luo Lan estimated that he would control more than 80% of the Bailey in the world.
Well, it would be even better if the world government started printing money and printed Beli like crazy!
In short, Luo Lan used the extremely terrifying Bailey to...
Well, first build him a hundred super clone factories and produce devil fruits for me crazily!
Yes, that's right!
What Luo Lan said to the others before was actually all nonsense!
There is only one real purpose!
That is to get all the Baileys in the world, and then build like crazy, and...
Crazy buying of talents!
