Blackstone Code

The trend of bank runs came quickly. In fact, these things were not without "foreseeability".

The shift in the focus of the empire's development will inevitably bring a large amount of cash to the Amelia region. In addition, the empire has implemented a "currency purification policy" in Amelia. The empire's currency is exchanged for the idle currencies of various countries in the hands of the people, ensuring the currency's stability. Unity.

There is no problem with this policy. It can even be said that this policy will bring great convenience to the rule of the Gefra Empire in this region, but it also creates some new problems.

The local currency of Gaevra is decreasing, and a new territory with a population of nearly 8 million has been created out of thin air. If each person holds one hundred furas, then the cash in Gaevra will be reduced by 800 million.

Doesn’t it seem like a lot?

Indeed, if a country spends even eight billion in currency, the country is either very small or is about to be ruined.

Gaevra is not young, nor does he look like he is about to die. He is just a native of Amelia Province, and not all of his body only has a hundred dollars.

Some people may have a little less, but some people will still have more than a hundred yuan. Coupled with the cash inflow of a large amount of capital, the inflow of funds from businessmen, and the inflow of funds from banks, the local people are like a malnourished country that has lost its "blood color" "The middle-aged man has an unhealthy attitude underneath his face.

The lack of local cash is actually reflected in various aspects. For example, the Gevra government delays the payment of foreign war bond buyers as much as possible and even wants to repudiate the debt.

For example, a large number of local goods want to be forcefully dumped to all parts of the world, including the Federation, through negotiation.

These phenomena actually point to the same point, inflation.

The best way to solve deflationary tensions is to print banknotes. However, after printing banknotes, the exchange rate will drop. The foreign exchange rate of Guevra against Sol has fallen to a historical low. At the same time, there is still a large amount of import trade in Guafra.

Almost all the local resources in Gaevra that can be mined have been mined, and resources are scarce. Amelia is rich in copper mines, but it is only rich in copper mines.

Military industrial enterprises are big consumers of various metals. The various metals used by a battleship and the ammunition prepared can force Gefra to import large quantities of various metal ores from abroad.

Combining a variety of factors, the Gefra Empire government did not consider issuing new currencies in the short term. Instead, it thought of maintaining it for a period of time and then issuing additional currencies after all aspects stabilized.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to have his face printed on the banknotes, but the ministers did not agree.

The money shortage has always existed, but now it has completely exploded.

It is now the third day since the run storm broke out.

In the past three days, whether it was the Minister of Finance, the Emperor, or other ministers, they were trying their best to calm this matter.

But there are some things that do not necessarily mean that official announcements will be effective, especially if this concerns everyone's own interests, people will become more blind and impulsive.

The Gafra Financial Index did indeed start to plummet as Lynch had imagined. Major companies were unable to withdraw money from the banks. If they wanted to ensure that they could fight against risks in this sudden financial crisis, they must have a large amount of funds. cash.

Where does the cash come from?

Answer: From the stock market.

How they were buying back liquid stock the other day is how they are selling it now.

In addition, some companies operating with debt are being bitten by banks and requiring them to repay their debts, and these companies have also begun to sell off various assets in their hands.

This is like a disaster or a flood. If you don't want to die, you have to climb to higher ground, whether it's stepping on other people's shoulders or stepping on your own people's shoulders. In this situation, they are gone. The power of choice.

All that is left is the instinct to survive.

Some people are crying and crying, and naturally some people are celebrating and making money.

The red wine in the cup was as bright as if it had just been poured out of people's chests. Both men and women were dancing to their heart's content. Those well-known socialites didn't care at all about their bold dressing styles. Constantly moving between different people.

The whole house was filled with a strange smell, which was composed of the smell of alcohol, tobacco, various incense, some body odor and some overflowing hormones.

Lynch stood by the guardrail on the second floor chatting with people. In just a short while, he saw some men disappearing into the hall with one or more women.

After making countless amounts of money, what people want to do most is to indulge.

Obviously this is just a fringe aristocratic group, full of fringe little nobles, but it has unparalleled appeal.

The little earl just revealed the news. They planned to hold a celebration party, and calls kept coming to his desk, hoping to get an invitation to attend the dance.

In the face of financial disaster, power must also make concessions for wealth.

"Here's to Lynch!"

Suddenly, the little earl on the first floor raised the wine glass in his hand. His face showed a kind of extreme admiration and madness. To describe it in an exaggerated way, when he looked at Lynch, his eyes were wide open. Light.

People in the room raised their glasses and looked at Lynch, who was standing in the corridor on the second floor. Lynch also raised his glasses, smiled and nodded to greet everyone.

Genia was a little emotional. When she put down her wine glass, she looked at Lynch, "They respect you and admire you very much."

Lynch had a natural smile on his face, not so reserved, "If I can make everyone make money, then I will be a god!"

Not modest at all, what he said should make people think that he is an arrogant person, but Genia felt that it should be like this. Lynch was full of a charm that she had never seen before. A charm that has nothing to do with power.

She exhaled softly, leaned forward, and pressed her arms on the guardrail, "What are you going to do now?"

"Are these His Majesty's exact words?" Lin Qi asked calmly.

Genia turned her head and glanced at him with a strange expression. Lynch was different from everyone she knew. She had never seen Lynch like this before.

Even though they had been together for several months, she felt that she didn't understand this man at all, not at all.

"Aren't you angry?", she asked, "Generally speaking, men tend to be very angry when faced with this kind of situation!"

This is her view, and it is also the view of most people. Someone of the opposite sex who has a close relationship with her and maintains an ambiguous relationship suddenly helps others test her. This will make people feel that they have been betrayed and suffered betrayal.

No matter how close people are, encountering this problem will make the relationship between the two people instantly turn cold.

But Lynch didn't.

"Why should I be angry?", he asked rhetorically.

This rhetorical question made Genia have no time to think. She kept turning her head to look at Lynch. After two seconds, she shook her head, "I don't know, but I think it might hurt you."

Lynch's reply was quick, "I'm not that fragile, and you can't hurt me."

"Is it because I can't get into your heart?" Inexplicably, Genia suddenly asked a question that she had not expected.

After asking, she regretted a little, "Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

Lynch raised his hand to stop her from continuing, "You're not entirely right, but you're not entirely wrong either."

"Human life is very short, too short. It lasts only a few decades, but only tens of thousands of days. You think it is a lot, but in fact it is only a very small amount."

"Every time we go through hibernation, it means that we are one step closer to the end. Each of us is heading towards death. Why should we find things to embarrass ourselves on this road?"

Lynch shook the wine glass in his hand for a while, "I like being with you, and I believe you do too, but we are adults and we all live in this society. In addition to moving forward, we also need We also have our own responsibility to do something to sustain our lives.”

"Don't let unhappy things affect our happiness..." He moved the wine glass in his hand, clinked it with Genia, and the two drank some wine together.

Genia didn't know whether she understood Lynch's words or had her own insights. She became frank.

"Your Majesty asked me to ask how to solve the current problem." She thought it was difficult to say this question directly, and even thought about how to ask it in a roundabout way.

But now, she doesn't seem to have so much burden.

Responsibility is responsibility, happiness is happiness.

Everyone tried their best to explain and make announcements, but it was no use.

Almost all banks are in trouble, which also means that the social and economic order has suffered huge and devastating damage.

If this problem is not solved, the economic order of the Gefra Empire may collapse.

The emperor really had no other solution, and this was not the time to announce the issuance of additional currency. He could only ask Lynch for advice.

Lynch pursed his lips and spoke in a relaxed tone, "The bank run trend and the savings panic are more straightforward. People are worried that the bank will have no money. As long as the bank can take out the money, these problems can be solved."

Genia looked at him intently, "The problem is that the bank can't get the money out now unless we use treasury funds."

In fact, she lied, and the treasury doesn't have much money now.

The Byler Federation signed a lot of military projects in one go, and Gaevra also signed a lot of military projects, and there are also new battleship construction plans, all of which cost money, and a lot of money.

The national treasury cannot come up with the money to solve this crisis. His Majesty the Emperor is not sure how much money is needed to solve the current situation.

If he blindly took out some but couldn't solve it, it would mean that the money was wasted and the situation would deteriorate further. He felt that he had lost control of the situation and could only ask Lynch.

Lynch's answer was very simple, which made Genia wonder if he was perfunctory.

"When I want to buy something but I don't have enough money, I will ask someone to borrow it..."

“Same goes for the country!”
