Chapter 478 Energy
Li Qingye discussed with Lake and Baisha for more than 20 minutes.
The development strategy of Nemanya Branch has been determined, which is to raise the living standards of the entire Nemanya Branch to a super-developed level through the comprehensive development of nuclear power and the use of full recycling technology, biosynthesis technology, and indoor lightless agriculture technology.
And after the two Lakers left.
Wang Xinya, who is in charge of the company's financial work, appeared in front of Li Qingye through a holographic projection.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman."
Li Qingye ate a piece of Maren candy, replenished his sugar, and took another sip of tea: "Xinya, is the currency reform plan ready?"
"Yes, I have sent the details to the chairman's exclusive email address."
Li Qingye opened his mailbox and pulled out the document.
Wang Xinya began to introduce: "This currency change is an adjustment made to adapt to the company's current development needs."
After reading the summary, Li Qingye raised his head: "Energy coins?"
"Yes, it's an energy coin! Or it's called an electric energy coin."
He raised his eyebrows and then asked: "How many foreign trade gold dollars are currently circulating in the global market?"
Wang Xinya is well aware of this data: "It's about 714.3 billion, but 267 billion of it is debt gold dollars. After deducting it, there is about 447.3 billion."
"Among them, West Asia holds about 200 billion, Africa holds 120 billion, and the rest is in Lucia, Northeast Asia, Central Asia and Latin America."
Li Qingye tapped the table gently, analyzing possible problems in his mind.
In essence, the gold dollar value of Homo sapiens company is not actually gold, but everything produced by homo sapiens company.
That is the product base currency.
Gold is just one of the anchors.
He also checked the company's recent gold production, and after combining the data of various subsidiaries and branches, the result was that 120 to 130 tons of gold were produced every month.
The amount of industrial gold used is also 120 to 130 tons per month.
Basically, use as much gold as you produce.
All kinds of power generation equipment are being updated, especially the dead-ray satellites in outer space. Each dead-ray satellite consumes 240 kilograms of gold.
The 420 dead-ray satellites currently in low-Earth orbit have consumed 103 tons of gold.
"Your plan is to take it in two steps. First, introduce the concept of energy gold yuan, and then gradually adjust it to pure energy coins..."
Wang Xinya nodded: "Yes, after all, abolishing the gold standard all at once will easily lead to runs and financial turmoil."
"Have you discussed the value of energy coins with the Ministry of Industry?"
"I have discussed with Minister Zhifan, and based on our electricity prices and generation costs, we believe that 1 gold dollar can be equivalent to 500 kilowatt hours of electricity."
Li Qingye thought again: "1 gold dollar and 500 kilowatt hours?"
This currency value is relatively reasonable.
Because at this time, the indirect exchange rates between the gold dollar and the U.S. dollar, the Chinese dollar, and the euro are:
1 gold dollar: 3 U.S. dollars: 21 Chinese dollars: 4 euros.
The cost of nuclear power of Homo sapiens is the lowest in the world, with an average thermal efficiency of 97%, and the comprehensive power generation cost is about 20% to 30% of that of other forces.
Therefore, it is relatively reasonable to exchange 1 gold dollar for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity.
Of course, this relative rationality is only for the Homo sapiens company itself.
For the currencies of other powers, that would be an extremely unfriendly situation.
The indirect exchange rate between the gold dollar and the three major currencies has been mentioned earlier.
Once the gold dollar is bundled with electrical energy, it means that 1 gold dollar is equivalent to 500 kilowatt hours of electrical energy.
How much does America cost to produce 500 kilowatt-hours of electricity? If it is coal-fired thermal power, its marginal cost is about $18, circulating gas-fired power is about $12, and nuclear power is about $18.
In this way, it is equivalent to the gold dollar appreciating 4 to 6 times against the U.S. dollar.
Even in Northeast Asia, where power generation costs are relatively low, the cost of electricity production is about 20% to 40% lower than America's.
The gold dollar will still appreciate more than 2 to 3 times against its mainstream currencies.
Perhaps many people think that the appreciation of the gold dollar will help major forces sell products to Homo sapiens companies? Is it not conducive to the export of Homo sapiens company’s products?
This is a good thing!
If you really think this way, your market will definitely be blown away by the gold dollar.
The reason is very simple. The energy gold dollar has a characteristic, which is to squeeze out the financial moisture of other products and currencies.
In other words, the financial content of credit currencies such as the U.S. dollar will quickly shrink through the pricing of energy gold dollars.
After all, how much energy is used to produce a product, how much raw materials, labor, and additional processes are used, these can all be quantified.
The added value generated by financial products is not recognized within Homo sapiens companies.
For example, if you deposit money at Aoba Bank, there is no interest at all, but service fees will be deducted.
As for why other forces don't open a gold dollar savings business and use interest to absorb the deposits of Homo sapiens company employees.
Naturally, this is because it is unprofitable, and the Homo sapiens company pursues balanced trade.
After banks from other powers absorb gold dollar deposits, the money cannot be used at all, because this kind of money is called "non-trade gold dollar" and cannot be used for foreign trade purchases.
There once was a smart guy named HSBC who secretly offered an annualized interest rate of 4.2% and absorbed more than 50 billion gold dollars. Then it exploded.
There was no way for such employees' gold dollars to be used in foreign trade, and the interest had to be paid in gold dollars, and there was no way to go rogue. In the end, HSBC was able to collect 2.1 billion gold dollars in interest by selling iron.
Therefore, employees of Homo sapiens are called invalid customers in the Western financial world.
Although the Homo sapiens company does not use financial means, it has very strict global financial monitoring, especially the gold dollars in circulation. Every gold dollar transaction is recorded and coded.
Once the energy gold dollar is launched, the forces that want to trade with the Homo sapiens company must recognize the value of the energy gold dollar.
At that time, the previous trade gold dollars will be simultaneously adjusted to energy gold dollars.
The energy gold dollar will be more intuitive than the gold gold dollar. It can determine how many gold dollars the product is worth, and the production cost of the product will become very critical.
Because the energy gold yuan must be based on the products of Homo sapiens company, and the production cost of Homo sapiens company's products is often very low.
This will bring about a situation where it is very cost-effective to buy products from Homo sapiens companies, and the production cost of your own products may be several times higher.
In essence, the Homo sapiens company is using energy gold dollars and its own ultra-low power generation costs to launch trade wars with other forces.
As long as the cost of power generation is higher than that of Homo sapiens, then in the free market, facing the products of Homo sapiens, there will only be a complete failure.
Unless they close their doors completely, they will not have any business dealings with Homo sapiens companies.
The problem is that if we don't do business with the Homo sapiens company, it will be a bit difficult for those bosses.
Many of Homo Sapien's technologies are top-notch in the world, and some products have no substitutes at all, such as earthquake prediction services, cancer treatments with low side effects, canal services, and Mesen preventive drugs to prevent Alzheimer's disease.
Many masters often secretly send people over to "purchase" on their behalf. It is very difficult to ask them not to trade with the Homo sapiens company at all.
Therefore, the trade war brought about by the energy gold yuan will definitely affect all parties. There is no way for them to completely cut off the trade with the Homo sapiens company.
