Chapter 323: The Purpose of the Iris Society

Yellen saw Ethan in a daze, and sneered in his heart.

What great swordsman?

Is it so great?

Forgive 170,000 gold, this little money is not even enough to fill the gaps between teeth, people are stupid.

What a bumpkin.

After a short daze, Ethan finally came to his senses.

Of course, he was not stunned because the other party forgave 170,000 debts, but because he finally understood why the other party dared to be so arrogant.

This is a psychological tactic that makes others feel ups and downs!

But 170,000 is nothing?

This kid doesn’t think that 170,000 gold can control me, right?

No way!

Is there really such a stupid person?

Do you think I am a bumpkin?

Or do I have a good temper and everyone wants to control me?

Sophia can control me because I am a pervert, I crave her body, and I voluntarily let her control me.

Who the hell are you?

Dare to control me?

Ethan was furious when he figured out everything.

However, he still suppressed his anger, because there is no free lunch in the world.

Since the other party wanted to forgive the debt of 170,000, it means that he will make a corresponding request.

I have been patient for so long, why not see what the other party is up to?

"Mr. Yellen, I am afraid I can't bear this gift, you should just speak frankly."

Yellen was very satisfied with Ethan's performance.

You see, when you see money, you are much more polite.

He smiled slightly, took out a rectangular piece of paper from his jacket pocket, and then gently pressed it on the table with two fingers.

"This is the ..."

"Banknotes?"

Before Yellen finished speaking, Ethan interrupted him with a light cry.

This light cry shocked Yellen.

Because the banknotes have always been secretly operated by the top leaders of the Iris Society. Before this, they had only communicated with the dukes of several regions and had never been displayed in front of some irrelevant people.

But this bumpkin actually knew?

This is a bit incredible.

"Sir Ethan, you actually..."

"Shut up!"

After being interrupted by Ethan again, Yellen couldn't hold it anymore. He wanted to hit someone and wrote a few words on his face, but he didn't dare.

Ethan didn't care what Yellen thought. He was really shocked by this banknote.

So he stretched out two fingers to carefully pick up the banknote on the table, trying not to touch the place where Yellen's fingers touched.

Then he took it in front of him and examined it carefully.

This is a piece of paper about the size of a fifty-yuan RMB. The whole is dark gray, with complex and exquisite patterns on it. The most conspicuous one is a purple iris in the middle.

The denomination is marked as 110, which is about the amount of silver coins that a gold coin can be exchanged for now.

Ethan was really amazed by this anti-counterfeiting design.

But he didn't show it, and tried the touch of the banknote with his fingers.

As expected, it is not an ordinary paper.

Although Ethan couldn't tell what material was used, people who often touch money know that the touch of the banknote is completely different from that of ordinary paper.

Ethan tried the flexibility again, and it was still as expected, with excellent flexibility and strong tensile resistance.

Ethan couldn't imagine that there was such technology in this era to make banknotes close to modern technology.

To be honest, Ethan felt that this banknote was even better than modern technology, it was simply a work of art.

"Are you going to issue this?" Ethan's tone was much softer.

Yellen was angry at this time, but seeing that Ethan asked about serious matters, he could only suppress his anger first.

"Yes, Mr. Ethan.

Since you know about paper money, you should also know that there is a shortage of metal currency in the market, which cannot meet the needs of market transactions.

This often leads to the underestimation of the value of items and the emergence of a particularly strange low-price buyer's market.

That is, the value of an item is not determined by how much the seller wants to sell it for, but by how much money the buyer has.

And because of the problem of the growth rate of wealth, this problem has never been solved. After all, there is only so much gold, and it is useless to set a high price.

And paper money can be issued in large quantities, which largely makes up for this shortcoming. An item is worth how much it is.

And paper money is lighter than metal money, easier to carry and transport, which can greatly promote the development of large-scale trade and commodity economy.

At the same time, it can also make financial activities such as savings and lending more convenient, and increase the security of currency."

Ethan certainly knows the benefits of paper money. In fact, in addition to the above benefits, paper money also requires the support of the credit system for its circulation and use. Therefore, the emergence of paper money also promotes the establishment and improvement of the credit system.

And it can replace currency to perform the functions of value scale and means of circulation, and as a medium of exchange in economic life, it is convenient for commodity exchange.

Although there are so many benefits, paper money itself has no value, so it cannot be used as a means of storage to preserve value.

Therefore, paper money can only have this function within a certain range.

Therefore, issuing paper money requires extremely high credit.

Ethan immediately understood what the other party wanted to do. Iris wanted the parliament to support them in issuing paper money.

And the 170,000 was like a bone thrown to the watchdog.

Yes, bone!

Compared with the huge benefits brought by issuing paper money, 170,000 gold may not even be a bone.

"So you want me to encourage the parliament to support you in issuing paper money in Maro City?"

"That's the idea!" Yellen smiled slightly, "Issuing banknotes in Maro City will benefit the economy of the entire Maro City. This is a move that benefits the country and the people. I think the parliament should not refuse it!"

"Of course not!" Ethan laughed.

Yellen was overjoyed when he heard Ethan's agreement.

He couldn't believe that the other party agreed so easily, and it only cost 170,000 to get it done.

Then the other benefits that were originally prepared can be waived.

"Mr. Ethan, on behalf of the Iris Club and all the people of Maro City, I sincerely thank you for your support."

"Hahaha!" Ethan laughed loudly after hearing this: "Who the hell are you? You dare to represent the people?

Are you worthy of representing the people?

Also, do I need your thanks?

Do I care about your thanks?

Who do you think you are?"

Since he already knew the other party's intentions, Ethan stopped pretending and went crazy on the spot.

Facing Ethan's sudden attack, Yellen was caught off guard.

"Mr. Ethan, what do you mean?

Didn't you just agree to support the issuance of banknotes? Why do you suddenly..."

"What's wrong with your brain?" Ethan interrupted him rudely again before he finished speaking, "Do you really think I'm a fool?

I agree to issue banknotes, but I don't want you to issue them.

Do you think your Iris is the Federal Reserve?

Want to issue banknotes privately?

Is it your turn to do this?

Who the hell do you think you are? You used 170,000 to fool me, and you still want to fool Congress.

Do you really think I'm a fool?"

Seeing Ethan getting angry, Yellen finally realized the seriousness of the problem and had no time to think about what the "Federal Reserve" was.

His expression immediately became much more respectful, and then he hurriedly said: "Mr. Ethan, if you are not satisfied with the amount, we can still talk about it. Everything is easy to talk about."

In Yellen's eyes, there is nothing in this world that can't be settled with money.

If there is, it only means that more money is needed.

But his words fell into Ethan's ears, which was completely humiliating.

Am I a person who has never seen money?

Am I short of money?

Do you think I am negotiating with you here?
