Chapter 278 Prohibition Act
"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, the smile on Lu Chen's face gradually disappeared and became serious.

Zhang Mingbo: "Several American Internet giants we have cooperated with have sent us information that several financial giants on Wall Street are submitting a bill to ban the sale of virtual helmets to Congress.

The reason is that the popularity of virtual helmets will endanger the financial order and currency stability of the United States! "

"Hehe, the vision is quite long-term!"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do the Internet companies we cooperate with say?"

"They're fighting each other's arguments in Congress, though."

"But what?"

Zhang Mingbo lowered his head: "They told us to prepare for the worst!"

Lu Chen spread out his hands: "Then you won't be allowed to sell it?"

Zhang Mingbo nodded with difficulty.

Right now, the North American market with the United States as its core is booming, but once the embargo bill is passed, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction throughout North America.

Although the United States has only a population of more than 3 million.

But with its influence on North America, once this bill is passed, it will not only affect the market of [-] million people in North America, but will even affect the markets of the countries that are allies of the United States.

After all.

The influence of the United States in this world should not be underestimated.

This is because it has suffered from Waterloo repeatedly in recent years, and its influence is far less than that of the past. Otherwise, Virtual Universe Company will be hit by it like this, and its products will be difficult to do in all countries in the world.

"World influence."

Lu Chen shook his head.

With the military strength of Civilized Science City, Lu Chen is not afraid of any country.

But in terms of world influence, it is really not enough to rely on force alone.

Especially in the current age of nuclear peace.

So what if your military power is stronger than other countries?

Even a civilized science city whose scientific and technological level and military strength far surpass those of the major powers cannot guarantee that it can conquer the world without destroying human civilization.

In the end, although I can't beat you, what are you going to do if I throw nukes here and there in a hurry?
With the huge nuclear arsenal of human beings and various overt and hidden nuclear bindings, it really affects the whole body.

Even Lu Chen had to remain calm and restrained before using force against a nuclear-armed country.

"Da da da!"

Lu Chen quietly thought about the countermeasures.

As early as the release of the virtual helmet and the establishment of the virtual network, he knew that wanting to subvert the monetary hegemony of the United States would not be accomplished overnight.

It's just that Lu Chen didn't expect that the other party's reaction would be so fast.

In less than two months, the other party had an insight into his intentions.

Replace real money with virtual currency!

In fact, Lu Chen's method is not new.

At present, there are also some countries that have the idea of ​​subverting the hegemony of the US dollar with digital currency, but it is too difficult.

Because you can do digital currency, so can others.

Why can the digital currency you issue be accepted by the world?
Currency itself has no value, its value is only generated in transactions.

in ancient society.

Non-renewable metals such as gold and silver were used as a general equivalent.

The transactional nature of money is based on the scarcity of gold and silver.

People don't have to worry about the sudden appearance of a large amount of gold and silver, which will dilute their wealth.

But in modern society.

Currency is issued on the basis of government credit.

For example, the summer yuan currently used in Africa was originally a currency issued based on the credit of the Kannian government.

of course.

When Xia Yuan was first released, there were very few people using it.

Because the Kanya government really has no credibility at all.

It was Huanyu Agricultural Company, which opened the foundation for Xia Yuan to travel in Africa by virtue of the ability to use Xia Yuan to purchase grain.

Later, as Huanyu and Chensheng companies accounted for an increasing proportion of Africa's economy.

The status of the Xia yuan also continued to rise, and finally gradually became the unified currency of Africa, suppressing both the US dollar and the franc.

The national currencies of other small African countries are even less competitive in front of Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan came to this step.

Lu Chen basically felt that it had reached its peak.

If he wants to go further and make the Xia Yuan the common currency of other continents, Lu Chen can feel the great resistance, and it is almost impossible for him to take a single step.

The reason.

Or Lu Chen didn't pinch other countries' sore feet!
Or weakness!

Why can the U.S. dollar become the world currency?

Because the U.S. dollar pinches the weakness of countries all over the world, only U.S. dollars can buy oil.

And oil is an inescapable resource in the development of all countries!
In this way, supplemented by the strong economic and military power of the United States, the US dollar will naturally become the world currency.

Although the current US dollar oil system has been repeatedly damaged, it is still the common currency for most countries.

Even the citizens of some small countries do not recognize the currency issued by their own government at all, but only recognize the US dollar.

It has to be said that it is a very sad thing.

And mastering the minting power of the world currency is equivalent to holding the main artery of the world economy.

Its influence on the world is far beyond what the current Kanya can match.

Even if the current Kanya vaguely has the title of African hegemon to the outside world, it won't work.

Want to break this situation.

There are two methods.

First, war!
It has to be a war of the level of a world war.

Directly relying on powerful force, the United States was brought to the ground, and it was beaten so that its father and mother knelt down and begged for mercy.

The hegemony of the US dollar is self-defeating.

Second, change the position.

That is the method Lu Chen uses now.

Let the virtual network users become the largest user group in the world, and the virtual network does not rely on the Internet, but communicates through the satellite network.

As such.

Virtual currency will become a common currency used by billions of people in the world.

At that time, Lu Chen only needs to open the exchange port for virtual currency and Xia Yuan.

tsk tsk.
Guaranteed to make the old beauty can't stand it!
If the other party is still not convinced, Lu Chen still has another trick waiting for him.

That is selling electricity!
The U.S. dollar becomes the world currency by bundling oil, and the summer yuan can also replace the U.S. dollar by bundling electricity.

It's just that Lu Chen's wings were not yet full at that time.

No such drastic measures were taken.

Although his strength is not what it used to be, wouldn't it be better if he could sneakily subvert the status of the US dollar?

but.
There is no shortage of smart people in this world.

Especially when the interests of smart people are offended.

The American consortium can see that the growing number of users in the virtual world will inevitably have a huge impact on the US dollar.

Especially when this virtual world is controlled by a company.

Unlike the conceptual virtual currency of Bitcoin, the virtual currency in the virtual world has real value.

Its actual value is reflected in the virtual assets in the virtual world.

If the virtual currency and summer yuan exchange channel is opened in the future, the virtual currency will even have the function of real currency, and real assets can be purchased.

How can this dual-use currency in the real world and the virtual world not be able to use the status of the U.S. dollar?
