Chapter 952 - Change the World (2/2)
“This is more like you.”
“What do you mean, can’t I be gentle and considerate?” Sitting opposite of Jiang Chen, Xia Shiyu’s eyebrows raised while pouting.
If other people in the company saw the meticulous CEO Xia display such a cute expression, they would be in complete shock. However, Jiang Chen knew that this was her usual relaxed state.
The distant expression was just the disguise of excessive self-protection.
“Of course not,” Jiang Chen smiled and took another drink of the water before putting the cup aside. “How did we do?”
When it comes to work, a proud smile appeared on Xia Shiyu. “A total of 130 billion XND contracts were signed, and the extra money is enough to build another Penglai city.”
Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head. “One Penglai City is enough. We don’t have to payback the loans from Future Bank yet. The space elevator has been completed, and investors are quite confident in us. Payback half and we’ll invest the rest of the money in our lunar colony.”
“You don’t seem surprised?”
“Surprised by what?”
“We received 130 billion. If it is converted into US Dollars, it would be nearly 150 billion US Dollars, and it is all cash.” When Xia Shiyu said this, she was quite amazed.
One hundred and fifty billion US dollars.
Four years ago, she never thought that she would have achieved this one day. If she didn’t meet him, her best situation would just be a project manager in a small company. She would be worrying over a small project in the thousands of dollars while trying to persuade all kinds of strangers to stay calm…
“It is just 130 billion Xin New Dollars.” Looking at the fascinated Xia Shiyu, Jiang Chen smiled. “In fact, after the establishment of the Xin Reservse, money is just a figure to us.”
If someone else said this, Xia Shiyu would just roll her eyes, but when Jiang Chen said this, she didn’t feel this way at all. Instead, she felt that he was only explaining a fact.
He has the final say in the amount of currency this country prints, what else is money to him other than a figure?
Of course, although this is the case, he didn’t have freewill over the money printer. The issuance of banknotes required special procedures for approval, and it was necessary to disclose the news one to two months in advance, and the printed banknotes belonged to the New Reserve. The additional currency could only be provided to banks registered in Xin in the form of loans.
Printing excessive banknotes would cause inflation. Without an open and transparent regulatory mechanism, the monetary system itself wouldn’t be able to obtain sufficient credit, and wouldn’t be recognized by its own nation, let alone the international community.
Xia Shiyu scoffed and didn’t want to see Jiang Chen showing off.
“Well, Mr. Richest Man, now you are as powerful as a country. So, what is your next goal?”
As she said this, she lifted the glass in her hand and put it below Jiang Chen’s nose, using it like a microphone.
Jiang Chen smiled and grabbed her hand.
“Change the world.”
