Chapter 2880: Chapter 2868, Jiang Fei’s plan
Translator: 549690339
Although the gangsters who were awakened by Jiang Fei had indeed made a large sum of money in the past two days, they were only small gangsters after all. Moreover, the methods they used were not top-secret. Very soon.., a bigger gangster organization took over from them. These people had more funds and also had more power.
After they defeated the gangsters that Jiang Fei had awakened, they occupied the entrance of the bank. What happened next was the same as before. These gangsters went into the bank to exchange for moon crystals, then, they took out the money in the hands of the common people.
Although the common people knew that they would be robbed, they could not enter the bank. If they did not exchange the money in their hands to these gangsters, it would be a piece of waste paper. Because most merchants no longer accepted paper money.
Therefore, the commoners at the bottom had no choice. They could only give more than half of their assets to these hooligans and exchange them for a small amount of moon spirit crystals.
The hooligans became more and more greedy. In the beginning, they still maintained the exchange rate and collected the banknotes at a price of 2,000 to 1. However, towards the end, the greedy hooligans even offered 2,500,3,000, or even 4,000 to 1, this could no longer be considered as extortion. This was robbery!
Colonel Kono also sent out military police, but it was useless. As soon as the military police arrived, the hooligans swarmed forward. They blended into the crowd and could not find out who was who. The common people wanted to report them, however, they were afraid of being taken revenge, so they could only pinch their noses and admit defeat.
The military police were also ordinary people after work. They and their families were also afraid of the revenge of these hooligans, so no one dared to go too far during the encirclement and suppression. In addition, the leader of these hooligans was very good at playing, although he made a lot of profits through the financial crisis, he did not take it all for himself. He bribed everyone, from Colonel Kono to the ordinary military police officers, so that no one would bother with the gangsters.
When society was in turmoil, the darkness in it was something that ordinary people could never imagine. Only when they experienced it themselves could they understand the cruelty in it.
In the financial crisis, the rich people were badly hurt, but they only lost their property. The poor people were miserable. There was a time when the ignorant poor people were looking forward to the financial crisis. They felt that as a result, the money in the hands of the rich people was worthless, and they had no money in their hands, so the loss was negligible.
But when the financial crisis came, the ignorant poor found themselves too naive. The rich did lose more than two-thirds of their wealth, but at least they could still eat, the poor quickly ran out of what little money they had, and then they found that if they wanted to eat, they had to sell what little assets they had.
But because of the severe devaluation of the currency, the difficulty and cost of trading rose sharply. When you bought things, everything was expensive, but when you sold things, you found that the things in your hands were all worthless!
Under this impact, the poor quickly sold all their possessions to eat, to survive, and in the end, they could only sell their children.
When the financial crisis reached such a stage, the whole society was in turmoil. The common people could accept the poverty, but they could not accept the outcome of being starved to death. If the government could not solve this problem, they had to think of a way themselves.
And the poor people who did not have any resources in their hands, in order to eat, they could only think of one way — robbery!
For a moment, there were fewer pedestrians on the street. The shops were closed one after another. The doors were locked tightly. The warehouses were welded shut to prevent people from entering and stealing or robbing them.
Under such circumstances, everyone was in a panic. No one knew what would happen next. Perhaps it would be a riot, or perhaps it would be the end of the world!
“Damn it! How did a robbery end up like this?”The archon frowned. Beside him, Jiang Fei was also thinking.
However, Jiang Fei was not thinking about how to pacify the people. Instead, he was thinking about how to obtain sufficient benefits for himself during this chaos.
Although he had been by the Archon’s side for a period of time, Jiang Fei had not heard any news about the snow beast. This made him feel a little anxious because he could not stay here forever, if it took three to five years to gain enough trust, Jiang Fei really could not afford to wait.
“Do I need to show off?”Jiang Fei thought to himself.
“Ralph, what do you think of the current situation?”At this moment, the Archon asked Jiang Fei casually. In fact, he did not expect Jiang Fei to come up with any good suggestions, he only asked this question when he was anxious.
After all, in the eyes of the magistrate, Jiang Fei was just a country bumpkin from the slums who was relatively skilled. Although he could be trusted, he could only be a bodyguard. As for the administration.., the magistrate did not expect Jiang Fei at all.
It was just that the people under the magistrate were at their wits’end. Therefore, he had no choice but to ask this question casually.
“Sir, actually, I do have an idea!”Jiang Fei said after thinking for a moment.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Fei finally decided to use this chaos to make himself the magister’s confidant. He would also show off his abilities and let the magister use him. Only then would he be able to gain access to top-notch secrets, instead of being a bodyguard like he was now, he would only be able to get in touch with the Magister’s mistresses.
“Oh? You have another idea? Tell me…”the governor did not mind. He did not believe that Jiang Fei, this country bumpkin, would be able to solve this problem.
“Sir, since the current currency has collapsed, why don’t you cripple it?”Jiang Fei said casually.
“Cripple it? That’s not bad! Now, it’s just a devaluation and the world is already in chaos. If it’s crippled, wouldn’t the people under it be the same?”The governor pursed his lips when he heard that, although he trusted Jiang Fei, he did not think that he had the administrative ability, especially in the financial field. This was a very professional field.
“Now, it’s almost crippled. Almost no one will accept this thing anymore. Moreover, more than half of the bank’s only moon spirit crystals have been exchanged. If this continues, it won’t be long before the bank goes bankrupt. The currency will still be crippled,”Jiang Fei said.
“That’s right. That’s why I’m so anxious!”said the consul.
“Therefore, I suggest that you directly scrap it and issue a new currency. Use the new currency to exchange for the old one. Let the bank exchange it one by one. The new currency will not be linked to the moon crystals. In this way, the bank will be able to avoid the danger of being unable to pay,”said Jiang Fei.
