Chapter 220 Chapter 220 Expansion Chip

There is only one Rolls-Royce in the world, which was handcrafted by Matthews.The performance of this car crushes other cars of the entire era, because there are only two kinds of cars in the world now.

One is called Rolls-Royce, which is Tang Mo's exclusive car, and the other is called Model T, which is a means of transportation that many middle-class people can afford.

The recent topics in the entire Wright Kingdom are all focused on the Model T car. If the nobles don't buy a Model T car, they seem to be abandoned by the times.

The brand-new Model T car is very exquisite, and if you want to order it, you can also decorate it-in this way, the price of a Model T luxury car may soar to 100 gold coins, or even 150 gold coins.

Think about it, the benefit that Baron Stella received from Cyric was only 100 gold coins a year, so this amount of money is definitely not a small amount.

Don't be fooled by Tang Mo's Datang Group's tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of gold coins. The world is far from inflation. In other places, the purchasing power of a gold coin is still quite astonishing.

In the past six months, to a large extent, Tang Mo's Datang Group has been bartering, and the gold coins received are actually far less than what they heard.

It is possible that in one transaction, Datang Group made a profit of 10 gold coins, but there may not even be 2 gold coins delivered directly, and most of the rest are settled in hard currency.

These hard currencies include but are not limited to food, steel, copper ingots, gunpowder and saltpetre, chemicals, and even population.

What's more, many people can't laugh or cry when they directly trade all kinds of weird things.For example, some merchants want to pay with gems, some even use kerosene, and some use products such as ships.

Of course, in addition to these, there are horses, cattle and sheep, pork... It also includes carriages, porcelain, tea... In short, there are all kinds of things.

And among these bartered goods, the most popular with Bunas is the population!Tang Mo needs a large population to support his industrialization, and it is a useful population that can serve as a labor force.

So other businessmen also knew Tang Mo's needs, and sent as many freemen as possible to Bunas.

They described Bunas as a golden city, as long as they came here, they could earn a lot of gold coins. Those gold diggers in foreign lands couldn't resist the temptation, so they were sent to Bunas in large numbers.

This is also the reason why Bunas was able to have a population close to one million in a short period of time, and its growth was accompanied by the barrenness of the surrounding area.

The siphon effect made Bunas a huge blood-sucking insect, which absorbed all the surrounding population into its own body, turning the original village into a barren ruin.

If it wasn't for Tang Mo's arrangement, the surrounding chaos might have already made the Wright Kingdom's senior officials fly into a rage.It was Tang Mo who appeased the local people and increased the price of local grain purchases, which made some local people give up the absurd idea of ​​going to Bunas to pan for gold.

The market economy is not a panacea for all diseases, and it has its own limitations and lags in many cases.

Relying entirely on the self-response of the market to adjust, it is easy to cause serious problems, and the emergence of these problems is often a belated fixed result, which cannot allow the rulers to respond.

Conversely, the planned economy is actually very advanced and stable under certain circumstances.But it also has many problems, and many problems cannot be improved.

To be frank, if a management system works well and guarantees that there will be no problems, then the planned economy is obviously easier to implement and control than the market economy.

It is a pity that no matter which direction you look at it, the management cannot guarantee that it will not make mistakes.This shows that the planned economy itself cannot function perfectly.

But on the other hand, completely relying on the market economy will cause pains from time to time in the process of development, making the originally simple development become absurd.

For example, today's Bunas is actually unable to rely on the market economy to self-regulate, and it does not have such conditions at all.

First of all, the development of the entire Bunas is not balanced at all, and many aspects are actually "special".These special places determine that it does not have the ability to self-repair in terms of economic structure.

Within a month, there may be an influx of 3 migrant workers in Bunas. These people will not arrive in Bunas with a month's worth of food, they will all consume locally.

But no one can accurately predict the population growth of Bunas this month, so it is obviously impossible to expect the merchants to transport food by themselves to solve the food crisis in Bunas.

When they find out that the price of grain has risen, and then go to look for food everywhere and transport it to Bunas to make money, they are already in a state of collapse that cannot quench their thirst.

Therefore, Bunas can only rely on the management to calculate in advance and make decisions, in a manner similar to a planned economy, to determine how much food to import, how much meat, and even how much sugar to produce, how much salt to produce, and how much daily necessities to produce. There are daily miscellaneous consumables.

Because if these things are not replenished in time, it will easily cause chaos, which is the result that Bunas, who is eager to develop, does not want to see.

This is why Tang Mo has been so busy recently, so busy that he basically has no time to rest except preparing a portrait for himself.

There are so many affairs he is dealing with recently, many plans including the development of Long Island must be drawn up by him himself.

For him now, the things he needs to discuss with the people he meets every day are very important, and none of them can be easily shirked.

"My lord." Just as Tang Mo retracted his posture and walked in front of his portrait, admiring his handsome face, the door was pushed open from the outside again.

The servant walked up to him, lowered his head slightly, and reported, "The envoy from Dorne is already waiting in the living room."

"Let's go and have a look." Tang Mo didn't take his eyes off his painting, obviously he was very satisfied with the painting.

After all, this painter is also one of the most famous painters in Donne, and he is capable, but he just missed a chance to become famous all over the world.

Tang Mo gave him this opportunity, because his paintings will be operated by people in the future, and it is almost certain that he will become the number one painter in the world.

As for art, it is actually very difficult to rank first and second. In the end, it is nothing more than a game backed by capital.

"Thank you!" Tang Mo smiled at the painter, thanked him, turned and walked out of the room under the astonished eyes of the painter.

And the painter was stunned on the spot, his heart was full of that smile, the young man's smile was like a spring breeze, enveloping his body.

Immediately, he felt that the painting in front of him seemed not perfect. The painting he had drawn with all his might was not his pinnacle.

He stood there blankly, without moving for a long time.

Then, he stretched out his hand and dipped his nails into the paint on the palette, as if he had spent all his life, and lightly drew a short stroke on the corner of Tang Mo's portrait.

In an instant, the painting seemed to come alive, Tang Mo stood there like that, scorning everything, overlooking everything, laughing at everything...

The painter didn't know that he created the greatest painting in the world: the smile of God.

Many years later, this painting is still recognized as the number one portrait in the world, and other painters, including himself, have no way to surpass this portrait.

Tang Mo didn't know that his portrait had changed at this moment. He led Wes through the corridor and walked to the reception room.

When the attendant opened the door for him, the men in black Bunas suits sitting in the room all stood up and gave Tang Mo a slight nod.

"Welcome to Bunas." Tang Mo greeted with a smile, then walked straight to the front of the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of "Dorn 171" from it, and shook it: "Who wants some?"

Before the members of the envoys from Dorne could speak, he ordered himself, "Wes, pour everyone a glass."

He handed the wine bottle to Wes, then walked to the sofa that belonged to his master, and sat down on his buttocks: "I heard that you are determined to go south?"

"Yes, my lord! Your Majesty hopes that you and the Kingdom of Wright can support Dorne and obtain the southern seaport..." The special envoy headed by Dorne did not sit down, but stood there and said to Tang Mo.

Tang Mo stretched out his hand and pressed it down, signaling the other party to be more casual.After the other party sat back on the sofa, he said, "This world has an end. Donne's expansion has already made people feel uneasy."

"In fact, the southern kingdoms are loyal to the Cyric Consortium, and they are also your enemies, my lord. If we annex them, your influence will also expand to those places." Dorn's envoy immediately explained to his country .

"Let's be more realistic. We're all grown-ups. It's so boring to play tricks on children." Tang Mo took the wine glass from Weiss, looked at him and said.

"Rewind Harbor." Dawn's special envoy was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head again to meet Tang Mo's eyes, and made Dawn's condition: "It's yours."

"In addition, we will consider Datang Group's 'extraterritoriality' in Dorne. Your people will be protected by law, and after committing a crime, they can only be extradited back to Bunas or Long Island for trial. How about it?" Seeing that Tang Mo didn't speak , the other party continued.

"I'll think about it." Tang Mo put down his glass and walked towards the door without even taking a sip.
