Chapter 538 Dragon Coin Issuance

With the invisible confrontation between Jieko Group and Beautiful Country, the situation in Southeast Asia continues to heat up.

The beautiful country united its allies and younger brothers, led by the Indo-Pacific Command, mobilized warships on a large scale, and looked like it was going to encircle the Jieko Group.

The so-called Indo-Pacific Command refers to the abbreviation of the Indo-Pacific Command. It is the largest theater command of the Beautiful Country. It is centered on the Sakura Country of Okinawa, Guam and Hawaii, extending to the Sakura Country in the north, Java in the south, and the Beautiful Country. The army has deployed numerous military bases and garrisons in this area.

Among them, the 7th Fleet is stationed in Yokosuka Port. It has approximately 350 fighter aircraft, more than 70 warships, and the flagship USS Ronald Reagan nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The fleet has a full strength of 60,000 people.

In addition, the Indo-Pacific Command can also command the 5th Fleet and the 3rd Fleet, which have a total of four Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and a combat force of more than 200 ships. This does not include allies and subordinates of the United States. It's just a beautiful country's military power.

As time entered May, Meiliguo wanted to further show its muscles and intimidate the Jieke Group.

To the west, the beautiful country's dual aircraft carrier battle group took the British Empire's Elizabeth aircraft carrier from the Red Sea into the Arabian Sea.

To the east, the USS Reagan aircraft carrier of the Beautiful Country, carrying warships from the Sakura Country and South Korea, swaggered into the eastern waters of the Jieke Group and cruised near Australia.

Located on the mainland of the United States, the two Nimitz-class aircraft carrier battle groups at the Point Loma Naval Base in San Diego also sailed out of the port and headed towards the Southeast Asian waters.

The beautiful country's mobilization capabilities are extremely powerful, with five Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, as well as the British Empire's HMS Elizabeth aircraft carrier, Sakura Kingdom's four helicopter carriers, and South Korea's two amphibious assault ships.

The sea and air strike power alone is enough to make people frightened.

The scale of the entire mobilized warships, large and small, totaled more than 150 warships. This was a true country-destroying fleet, far beyond what the navy of the Three Kingdoms could compare with.

That's it. The beautiful country is still actively uniting more countries, instigating NATO members, non-NATO members, Gulf Cooperation Organization and other countries and forces, and inviting them to send warships and troops.

The coming of the beautiful country is menacing, and the entire Southeast Asia region is also in turmoil. The nerves of countless people have been stirred, and the eyes of countless countries around the world have turned to this place.

The current situation is very much like a replica of the Gulf War. The beautiful country is serious about gathering a large group of allies and subordinates to attack the Jieke Group.

When faced with such actions by a beautiful country, normal people would either stop playing and be honest, or they could surrender some of their benefits and choose to ease relations with the beautiful country.

But Jieke Group's approach is completely different.

May 1st is International Labor Day.

Jieko Group officially launched its carefully prepared currency system.

This currency was named Nan Coin, which refers to the desire to dominate in Southeast Asia. It was also called Dragon Coin because the currency issued by Jieke Group had a soaring dragon pattern on it.

The whole currency has Su Jie's face printed on one side, and a miniature sketch of the terrain of Southeast Asia printed on the other side.

A giant dragon passed through the Kra Isthmus Canal and the Strait of Malacca from the miniature map. Finally, the dragon's head probed into the direction of the Indian Ocean, but its tail was missing. Just as the saying goes, the divine dragon sees its head but never its tail.

The Dragon Coin uses a variety of anti-counterfeiting technologies, the most talked about of which is that if you look at the Dragon Coin in the sun or shine it with ultraviolet light, the soaring dragon on the Dragon Coin banknote will change its shape. , the phosphorus armored dragon's head turned into arthropods and round-headed tentacles, like a giant flying centipede.

People outside didn't understand what this meant, and just thought it was a bad idea of ​​the Jieke Group. Many people nicknamed it insect currency.

After all, it is well known that Jieke Group is a large insect farmer, which is in line with their logo.

Jieke Group officially announced the Dragon Coin on May 1, and the Dragon Coin was officially issued on the same day.

Within the influence of the Jieko Group, including Zen, Siam, Annam, Lancang, Chenla and other countries, the dragon coins of the Jieko Group flow unimpeded.

The years of operation of the Jieke Group have already silently eroded these areas into their own shape.

Several newly occupied or supported countries, including Johor, Temasek, and Assam, were also forcibly allocated to the implementation of Dragon Coin by the Jieko Group.

Jieke Group has mandatory regulations that determine the basic value of dragon coins based on the group's credit, and no one may refuse or damage them.

At the same time, the employee wages paid by Jieke Group have also been changed to dragon coins.

The current number of employees of Jieke Group, including those farmers who raise insects, has exceeded the ten million mark. One out of every thirty people under Jieke Group is working for Jieke Group.

The employee wages of Jieke Group are also extremely generous, and a large amount of funds are dispersed in this way.

Coupled with the companies and enterprises controlled by Jieke Group, its influence has long penetrated into all walks of life, and the replacement and value confirmation of Dragon Coin were quickly completed.

Jieke Group even announced that in the future, Jieke Group's products, including Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid, Myopia Pills, Weight Loss Pills, and Whitening Liquids, including food and blood, will be settled in Dragon Coins.

Once the news came out, the impact was huge.

You know, the products of the Jieke Group are sold all over the world, making money every day. I don’t know how many people live and make a fortune relying on the towering tree of the Jieke Group.

Republic of Congo, Haut-Katanga province, slums.

As the most populous country in Africa, Congo has a population of over 100 million, 150 million hectares of arable land, and abundant mineral resources. If fully utilized, it can solve the food shortage problem and develop into an industrial country by itself.

But today's Congo, like many African countries, is still plagued by poverty, war, disease, and corruption. It is like a cancer that penetrates deep into the bone marrow and cannot be cured.

The slums are located on both sides of a river, with houses built on continuous wooden rafts. The sewage and various garbage from human factories have long dyed the river water into a turbid black-purple color, exuding an unpleasant stench.

As the sun sets, a large number of poor people are cooking, washing, and children are jumping into the river, laughing and having fun.

Suddenly, a fleet of boats slowly entered the slum area from the entrance of the river.

The fleet is quite large, and there are also people holding AK rifles. They are a small gang nearby.

"Collect the blood, collect the blood."

"If you want to sell blood, come here quickly. Don't wait if it's late."

"No, you are infected. Don't waste my time. Hurry up."

On the fleet, the gang leader held a loudspeaker to remind the poor on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

The whole slum was in a commotion, and countless men, women, and children rushed to row close to the fleet, blocking the river with water.

"I want to sell my blood. My blood will be clean."

"Choose me, choose me. This is my test report. There is nothing wrong with my blood."

"Boss, I want to sell my blood. I have a lot of blood and I'm not afraid of taking it."

The poor people kept raising their hands, and the expressions on everyone's faces were excited.

It was obviously selling blood, but their expressions did not show any disgust. On the contrary, they were all excited and couldn't help themselves.

"Let me line up one by one."

Under the arrangement of the gangsters, medical staff came out of the fleet to draw blood on the spot.

On average, a person draws 700 to 800 ml of blood, which is far more than the 400 ml of regular blood draw.

After everyone's blood is drawn, they will line up on the other side and wait for the gang to give them money.

Because every time they sell blood, they can receive $50 worth of bills from gangsters. This is their happiest day.

Most of them earn only twenty or thirty US dollars a month, and their average daily consumption per capita is less than one US dollar. This fifty US dollars is undoubtedly a huge wealth for them.

Even if many people draw too much blood and have some physical discomfort, and all of them look pale, they don't care. Being poor is more terrible than a little physical discomfort.

The average lifespan of many of them is that they cannot live beyond the age of fifty. Selling too much blood will damage the body's essence, and they have to live until that time.

But these poor people don't know that if their blood is transported to the territory of the Jieke Group, the price can be as high as 1.2-1.3 US dollars per ml, which is twenty times the money they get from selling blood.

As the most exploited link in the blood gold supply chain, selling blood has become the hope of making a fortune for many people in a populous and poor country like Congo.

These poor people don't care whether they are being exploited. Selling blood is their only way to obtain a large amount of wealth in a short period of time. Everyone is eagerly waiting for the gang to send them dollars.

This was true in the past, but things are different today.

"What is this?"

When the gangsters started distributing money, the poor people selling blood stared at the strange banknotes with dragons printed on them, their faces full of confusion.

"Money, money."

The gang leader crossed his legs and smoked a cigarette as he answered the question.

"I don't know what kind of money this is. I don't want it. I want dollars. I want those green dollars."

"Which country's banknote is this? It's the first time I've seen it. You can't buy anything. I don't want this. Please change it to US dollars."

"How can you gangsters bully people like this? Who will sell their blood to you in the future?"

The poor people were anxious, waving the banknotes in their hands, feeling that they had been greatly cheated, and their anger began to swell.

The gang members became nervous and pointed their guns at the crowd.

Seeing that something was wrong, the gang leader quickly stood up and explained: "This is the money of the Jieco Group. You all know the Jieco Group, right? It is the company that bought your blood. Their company's newly discovered currency is called Dragon Coin." .

The value of the dragon coins in your hands is the same as 50 US dollars. Who said you can't buy things? We have brought food here, and you can buy it now.

And when you go to big cities outside, dragon coins have already started to circulate there, and many merchants will accept these dragon coins, which are very useful. "

Facing the words of the gang leader, the poor people are doubtful.

"I went to Dam City last month, and I think I did see someone using this currency."

Some poor people stood up and said that the dragon coins in their hands were valuable.

"I also saw that there are many merchants accepting this kind of currency."

"I'm not lying. It's true. This kind of currency can be spent."

Several voices rang out from the crowd. They had been to big cities, and people there were also selling blood. The payment scene of dragon coins was more common in cities, but the slums were relatively backward, and it was only now starting to become popular.

What really reassured the poor was that the gang leader found a grain transport ship and ordered the gang members to carry bags of flour and rice and exchange them for the poor on the spot.

Gangsters also understand the principle of long-term flow. These poor people are wealth. If they rebel, they will have no blood to buy in the future.

When the poor people at the scene saw the food, they calmed down immediately and ran over to exchange it with the dragon coins in their hands. The amount of food they exchanged was basically the same as the amount they usually bought with 50 US dollars.

One-third of the population in Congo is malnourished. Hunger and poverty are linked. Food is the absolute hard currency of this country. The dragon coins that can be exchanged for food immediately increase the trust of these poor people.

After the poor people got the food, they went home satisfied and prepared to have a full meal.

As the poor people left, the gang leader also returned to the base camp with the fleet, and then sent the strictly preserved blood to a larger city as soon as possible, handed it over to his superiors, and then took care of some local officials, which was considered to be the completion of this transaction.

The gang leader himself is just an intermediary dealer in the blood gold industry. Of course, he earns more than the poor, but he can't make the biggest profit.

For example, the blood he handed over will first go to the city and be handed over to a larger gang.

And his superiors have superiors, and his superiors have superiors, and eventually the blood will be trafficked to a large multinational blood company in Congo.

The company has warlords, senior officials, and foreign capitalists as shareholders, which is a height he can't imagine.

Only these multinational blood companies with great skills can transport blood out of Congo, manage various networks along the way, and safely deliver the blood to the territory of the Jeko Group, making the most abundant profits in the blood gold industry.

Because of the rigid regulations of the Jeko Group, the company's core products only support Dragon Coin transactions. These blood multinational companies reserve and purchase Dragon Yuan in large quantities. They sell blood, and the Jeko Group delivers them Dragon Coins.

However, these blood multinational companies are not worried that the Dragon Coins they receive are waste paper. They can use Dragon Coins to purchase products such as whitening liquid under the Jeko Group. These products are in great demand in countries all over the world. As long as they have goods in hand, they will not worry about selling them. After selling them, they can be exchanged for currencies of various countries, including international currencies such as the US dollar.

Through this relationship, they can also become the lower-level product distributors of the Jieke Group and earn an extra layer of profit, so they are more active in buying dragon coins.

Originally, the exchange rate between dragon coins and US dollars was 5:1, but due to the scarcity and importance of dragon coins themselves, the price of dragon coins and US dollars has been inverted on the black market.

The exchange rate of dragon coins has been appreciating continuously, and the number of US dollars that can be exchanged for dragon coins has become 4 dragon coins for 1 US dollar, or even 3.5 dragon coins, and 3 dragon coins for 1 US dollar. (End of this chapter)
