Chapter 2428

The atmosphere in the capital of the Penteio Empire was somewhat different, amidst the forge ahead, there was still a hint of anxiety.

Lynch didn't attend the afternoon meeting. It was something that had already been decided before the discussion. With him or without him, the result was the same.

People would read out the materials that had been prepared in the federation, and then rigidly give out the already decided plan, and then the people of Pengjieao readily accepted it.

That's it.

Compared to this, Lynch wants to go around more. This is his first visit to Peng Jieao, and it is likely to be the last time.

He's destined to be one of the most unpopular men in the country, and that's for sure.

The appearance of pedestrians on the street is much worse than that of the Federation. There is no food, no job, no money...

These economic problems have always troubled everyone, they are not nobles, not a privileged class, they are at a loss, hesitant, uneasy.

When faced with such a situation, ordinary people simply cannot find any solution!

How could an empire that had been glorious for thousands of years become so... strange overnight?
Nobody knew what was going on, the battle was lost, and then everything got so bad.

It is not that they have lost battles before, but they have never been like this!
The world is moving so fast, it's strange and scary.

Lynch was surrounded by not only Blackstone's bodyguards, but also agents from the Penteau Empire's Military Affairs Office and Internal Security Office to take care of him, and the diplomat was also by his side to accompany him.

In a country where power comes first, some things will be very troublesome, but also very simple, as long as you have power.

Lynch saw many girls, women and even mothers on the side of the road.

They wear revealing clothes that expose large swaths of their skin and wear heavy makeup.

There is no doubt that these people are women in the flesh business.

Penteo does not prohibit this kind of business, and even calling has become a "social activity" that has existed for a long time and is accepted by people.

No one would find it inappropriate to do so, especially the nobles.

They conquered one civilization after another and let the women of the conquered civilizations please the warriors of the great empire. Isn't this the right thing to do?
This habit continues to this day, but it is not only the conquered people who are engaged in these jobs, but also the Pengeo people themselves.

It is simple, fast, has no cost, and makes a lot of money.

The diplomat was a little embarrassed, but didn't know what to say.

When he turned around, he made a few gestures of waving his hands in embarrassment, and immediately someone drove those women away.

Lynch shook his head, "There's no need to do this, it's also a job."

The women who were driven away were dissatisfied, but had to cooperate to leave here.

Now Peng Jieao's call price is very cheap, almost equal to free.

Younger girls only need 20 yuan of Austrian yuan. The current ratio of Austrian yuan to Sol has increased because the two countries have completely put aside their prejudices and started cooperation.

About ten Austrian dollars can be exchanged for one federal sol. In other words, those young and beautiful girls only need about two yuan to play in the alley with her.

And those who are older can leave with others for only one yuan or even fifty cents. This sounds unbelievable, but it happens to be reality here.

People have to live and want to live.

But living requires money, and now the economy of the entire empire is so depressed that it cannot be described in words. If they want to live, and if they want their families to live too, they have to give something.

Even with such a cheap price, there is often no work, so that some people even start to ask for no money, and are willing to make a deal as long as a piece of bread.

The street soon became much cleaner, and Lynch didn't know where those people were dispersed, nor did he care.

"Do you know Slem?", he asked.

The diplomat replied, nodding, "Yes, of course, of course I know Slem."

Not only did he know it, he studied it.

The Slem model has created a sacred place for gambling dogs all over the world, and it also tells the world how to correctly turn some bad habits into meaningful things for the country.

It has only been two years since Slem's operation has been fully opened, but it has already paid 43 billion federal sols in taxes.

And this number is still rising rapidly.

Just halfway through this year, Slem's overall tax revenue has exceeded 18, and some organizations say that the tax revenue in the second half of the year may exceed [-] billion.

In other words, Slem alone provides more than 30 billion in tax revenue to the federal government!
This is the only one in the world!
The reason why Slem's taxes are getting higher and higher is that in addition to more and more open urban areas, the entry of big brands and the birth of more consumer projects have made it a veritable gold-selling cave.

In this city, you can live for one day without spending money, and you can live for one day with ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or even a million.

This gives everyone a lot of different choices, maximizing the drain on everyone's wallet, but people are never tired of it.

Slem has a new name - Paradise City!

Lynch said as if casually, "Now our relationship has eased a lot, I arranged to give you a license, and you can send some girls there."

The diplomat's expression became a little subtle, "I don't think it's necessary..."

Lynch smiled indifferently, "Don't be so absolute, you are a diplomat, you must have a certain understanding of international currency relations?"

The diplomat nodded, "Yes, Mr. Lynch."

"Then you should also understand that even if we reintroduce the Austrian dollar into the international settlement currency, it will still not be very popular in the international market."

"The more downturned the economy in Penteo, the fewer people are willing to use Aoyuan, and the fewer people use Aoyuan, it will be difficult for you to buy things with Aoyuan."

"Even if you sign a trade currency agreement, it won't change the fact that Aoyuan is weak in a short time."

The diplomat fell into deep thought. Of course, what Lynch said he understood very well. Simply put, if Peng Jieo wanted to buy goods from sellers in other countries.

These sellers are unlikely to accept the Austrian dollar as a settlement currency for settlement, even if the World Development Council recognizes it and incorporates it into the international settlement currency system.

But still no one will welcome it, the reason is actually very simple - it doesn't work!

This currency is a little easier to use only in international trade with Penteo and the Eastern Continent, especially when purchasing goods from Penteo.

However, the Austrian dollar is used as the settlement currency in the trade initiated to other non-Austrian dollar areas, and if neither party has a large import volume to Penteo.

They would all reject such a currency, hoping to use their own currency, or use the Federal Sol for settlement.

This will cause the Penteo people to be unable to buy things even if they have money in some trades.

"So the most important thing for you at this stage is to have enough foreign exchange. Only when your economy stabilizes and the social and economic order is rebuilt, the weight of the Austrian dollar will be increased, and it will have a wider application environment, but Definitely not now."

Forex…

The diplomat took the matter to heart, "If...we did that and sent them to Slem, would they get the foreign currency back?"

Lynch immediately gave him the answer, "Of course, we have always used mainstream international currencies for settlement. If they request it, we will use the federal sol for settlement."

"When their money returns to the country, you can exchange Austrian dollars for the federal soles in their hands. You can get a large amount of foreign exchange without any political compromise, and there will be more and more every year. .”

"I know a company that is doing this, and their annual profit is more than 7000 million. This money may not seem like a lot, but it can do a lot of things!"

The diplomat was immediately tempted.

Penteo now has almost no foreign exchange reserves, and all foreign exchange reserves have been used up.

In addition to the reparations to the federal government, a large amount of gold was looted, and now they can hardly produce anything attractive!

If the federal government hadn't negotiated a low-interest loan of 35 billion federal sols with the Penteio government in the past few days, it might not be possible for Aoyuan to rise back to this position in the short term.

Tens of millions of profits per year, not to mention other things, are completely sufficient to pay the federal loan interest, and there is still leftovers.

This is also tantamount to reducing the financial pressure on the empire.

Although this thing is not so... pretty, the diplomat thinks it is necessary to try.

Lynch and his party were not small, and some people were already watching, including some reporters and media.

After walking another distance, I came to Peng Jieao's commercial district, which was still very deserted.

At this time, the diplomat coughed lightly, walked up to Lynch and said softly, "The people from the TV station want to interview you, do you have time for an interview?"

The ordinary media are blocked at the periphery, and the ones that diplomats can come to inquire must be extraordinary media.

"Official media?"

The diplomat was honest, "Empire TV."

It is very characteristic of Peng Jieao, as if all good things and money-making things belong to the royal family and nobles.

In order to let these people understand that this thing belongs to the royal family, it has a label of "Empire" before its name.

Lynch agreed, and soon the beautiful female reporter and cameraman approached.

They have all been checked, and there are some bodyguards standing beside them. Any misleading behavior will cause them to be pinned to the ground.

"Mr. Lynch, I listened to your speech and it was very encouraging. I also want to believe that we can eventually revive the economy."

"However, no specific and practical plans have been given in the talks so far. Many of us are eager to learn more details. We look forward to this day."

"What do you think we need to do most now?"
