Homo sapiens

Chapter 304 The Forced Exchange

For the currency black market that appeared in Xiangjiang, and the export of various rare metals.

Obviously can't hide it.

Especially the few victims in East Asia, facing the strong appreciation of the gold dollar, they have already felt the violent internal and external squeeze.

Many people may say that the appreciation of the gold dollar and the depreciation of the local currency will improve the competitiveness of export products, which is good for exports!

But the problem is that there are not many advantageous products exported to Homo sapiens in East Asia, but Homo sapiens has a large number of advantageous products.

In addition, the Homo sapiens company itself has a very complete industrial chain. Things that can be produced in East Asia can be produced by Homo sapiens, and things that cannot be produced in East Asia can also be produced by Homo sapiens.

At the same time, Homo Sapien has a very high subsidy for employees. This kind of subsidy is not reflected in the direct payment of money, but in the purchase of the company's own products, which have huge discounts.

And the even more deceitful thing is that the new humans are very united. They don't like to purchase products outside the company, because they think it's capitalizing on the enemy, especially foreign physical goods, which basically don't appear on the shopping list of the new humans. .

The new human beings belong to the dominator and high-income group within the Homo sapiens company, and they are the real main consumers.

Under the combined effect of various factors, this breaks the traditional model of domestic currency depreciation benefiting exports and local currency appreciation benefiting imports.

In short, Homo sapiens does not play cards according to routine.

Now East Asia needs to import a lot of products from Homo sapiens at high prices, and they don’t have enough gold and dollar foreign exchange, which triggers the currency black market in Hong Kong.

Relying on the tens of billions of gold dollars per month in the cultural and entertainment industry, this can only eat the leftovers left by Homo sapiens. This amount of gold dollars and foreign exchange is simply not enough.

For example, gold dollars are charged for cargo ships passing through the Kra Canal.

According to current calculations, the annual frequency of cargo ships in the Strait of Malacca will still be maintained at 7 to 8.

The upper limit of the number of cargo ships that can be navigated by the Kra Canal is about 4.5.

And these ships that have to pass through Southeast Asia cannot avoid several sea toll booths of Homo sapiens, and this fee is not a small amount.

Of the 10,000+ transport ships that have passed by, a large part of the transport ships are operated by shipping companies from various parties in East Asia.

The transport ships in East Asia are connected to the energy sources in West Asia, and Southeast Asia is the only way for its maritime lifeline.

Although Homo sapiens has lowered part of its fees, the shortage of foreign exchange in gold and dollars still caused many shipping companies to complain.

For example, the Samsung consortium, in order to keep the transportation cost of importing oil from West Asia from rising, they took out a part of Samsung Electronics' industrial gold and industrial silver, and exchanged about 200 billion gold dollars.

This is to use real money to buy the services of Homo sapiens, and Samsung is simply a blood loss.

At this time, the prices of physical gold, silver and various precious metals and rare metals are also soaring internationally.

The Homo sapiens company that crushed Jinyuan, except for the oil tyrants in West Asia and those countries with rare metals, all other regions felt the tremendous pressure of Jinyuan.

The Federal Reserve has received cordial greetings from more than a dozen "good friends", hoping to take back the gold they have stored in the Federal Reserve.

However, the Federal Reserve has been pushing three obstacles and four obstacles, secretly intimidating a group of Europeans, letting Europe choose whether to want gold or natural gas.

The previous defeat of the U.S. military and its forced withdrawal from Southeast Asia have side effects that are also constantly fermenting.

If it weren't for the fact that America's military deterrence is still very strong, those old Europeans would not be so swallowed.

……

Seeing "precision parts" made of various rare earths, the export volume has been rising steadily for more than a month.

After weighing the pros and cons.

7 month 26 day.

The 12th floor of the Galaxy Hotel in Thonburi.

Wang Xinya looked at the work letter that had just been sent back from the office in Shanghai. The content of the letter was very simple and clear. It was Bank of China International's plan to sell a batch of gold to Qingye Bank.

She saw the problem in an instant. At this time, when BOCI sold gold, it must be because the other party's gold dollars and foreign exchange were seriously insufficient.

Homo sapiens has opened up the exchange channels for precious metals and rare metals, which will naturally trigger the appreciation of precious metals and rare metals in other regions, and at the same time absorb precious metals and rare metals from the hands of all parties.

Facing the strength of Homo sapiens, in order to reduce losses, Bank of China ended up directly.

This time, the Bank of China took out a full 100 tons of gold and exchanged 500 billion gold dollars. In addition to the gold dollars collected from other channels, the Bank of China currently holds 638 billion gold dollars.

When they withdrew from Hongshawadi before, they were still complacent and got dozens of tons of gold.

Unexpectedly, dozens of tons have been posted upside down now.

Wang Xinya directly approved the gold purchase contract, but asked the other party to send the gold to the headquarters of Qingye Bank in Taunggyi before agreeing to pay.

Japan and South Korea also had to continue to increase the sale of precious metals to cope with the negative impact of rising transportation costs.

This situation is a bit similar to that of America during World War II, which was also frantically siphoning gold from all over the world, but Homo sapiens always welcomes all precious and rare metals.

Don't think that precious metals and rare metals are only reflected in scarcity.

In modern industry, precious metals and rare metals are an indispensable part of many high-precision instruments, semiconductors, special parts, aerospace, and weaponry.

For example, rhenium, in aero-engines, can effectively increase the service life and upper limit of heat resistance of the engine.

But rhenium, on Huaguo’s online shopping platform, only costs 1 Chinese yuan per gram. Even if the price has skyrocketed to 50 Chinese yuan per gram recently, the price is still relatively low.

After many people buy rhenium gold online, they will find someone to process it into watch straps, necklaces, etc., and finally take these things to the city of Homo sapiens.

After all, Homo sapiens' drugs are really easy to use.

Especially after the prophylactic drug was launched, a large number of wealthy people bought the prophylactic drug. Where did these rich people get their gold dollars?It was exchanged through the black market.

Compared with the greed for money, these rich people's fear of Alzheimer's disease is unprecedentedly consistent.

These people contributed a lot of gold, precious metals, and rare metals to the Homo sapiens company, and they also helped the Homo sapiens company, forcing the East Asian region to take the initiative to purchase gold dollars with precious metals.

After all, compared with gold and silver, other rare metals are more important in industry.

This is not to say that gold and silver have no industrial uses, but the current circulation of gold and silver is enough for many industries. In addition, there are many substitutes for gold and silver, which are not as rare as imagined.

However, the industrial value of some rare metals cannot be replaced by gold and silver.

For example, rubidium metal for the production of strong magnets, and rhenium metal for lifting engine blades.

Therefore, many regions would rather sell gold than see these strategic resources, just like this being evacuated by Homo sapiens.

But they also sense a serious sense of crisis.

If the trade balance cannot be achieved, the little gold and silver reserves in East Asia will not last long at all, and will be emptied by Homo sapiens.

For the sake of strategic security and economic development, all forces in East Asia have to consider industrial upgrading or opening up new industries.

Among them, the cultural and entertainment industry, which has been maintaining relatively good income recently, has also become a favorite in the eyes of all parties.
