Chapter 1210 Storms and Clouds

Cai Wenji was still busy with the waterproofing technique of paper.

Lu Ban had already carved out the mold of the coin.

He found Jiang Tian as soon as possible.

He handed the mold to Jiang Tian for review.

"My Lord, the mold of the coin has been made as required. The anti-counterfeiting mark has also been made according to your instructions. Small and dense indentations have been made on the side of the coin. These indentations seem irregular, but in fact, there are several points where I have carved undetectable codes..."

When carving these codes, Lu Ban also spent a lot of effort.

After all.

The anti-counterfeiting mark required by Jiang Tian must have a certain aesthetics, and it must also be safe enough to be difficult to copy.

So.

Lu Ban racked his brains. Only then did he come up with this idea.

After Jiang Tian took the mold and looked at it carefully for a while, he nodded with satisfaction.

He is worthy of being the ancestor of craftsmen.

If you don't look carefully, you can't see the codes in these indentations at all.

The mold Lu Ban brought was the one with the number 1.

That is, 1 Merchant Alliance coin.

Next.

Lu Ban also had to make molds for 5 Merchant Alliance coins, 10 Merchant Alliance coins, and 20 Merchant Alliance coins.

Of course.

In addition to the different denominations, the patterns of these Merchant Alliance coins also changed slightly.

Although they were all Bauhinia flowers.

But Lu Ban made changes to the angle of the original painting.

As for the anti-counterfeiting mark, no other changes were made.

It was still the same as the mold of this 1 Merchant Alliance coin.

"Well done."

"Since the coin molds are almost done, let's send these molds to Tangyan and let Tangyan produce a batch first."

I think.

Tangyan should have almost finished quenching the gold ore.

Purifying gold ore is also a matter of effort.

After getting the gold ore, the first thing to do is to grind it.

That is, put the ore into the water mill, crush the large pieces of ore by hydraulic action, and then grind it into powder with a stone mill.

Then it needs to be washed.

The ore powder is placed in water and continuously washed to remove the non-ore-containing part and leave the powder with more gold.

It is called concentrate powder in the jargon.

Then.

It is agglomeration and sintering.

As the name suggests, it is to mix the gold-containing powder with rice and other materials to make agglomerates, stack them with charcoal in layers, remove the sulfur of sulfide, and sinter them into crisp ore agglomerates.

After this step, lead reduction smelting will begin.

The so-called lead reduction smelting is to mix the ore agglomerates with lead and smelt them, and then carry out chemical replacement to form lead blocks containing gold and silver.

Fortunately.

Lead.

Jiang Tian got a lot of it when he helped those empires make crowns.

Now there are a lot of them piled up.

At this step.

The final step is to carry out the ash blowing method.

That is, put the lead block containing gold and silver on the ash to melt, blow in oxygen, and remove the lead in the lead block.

Blow away the ash, and you can harvest high-purity gold.

The method is not difficult.

The difficulty is that the number is too large.

For Tang Yan's blacksmith shop, it is a big project.

As Tang Yan's blacksmith shop gradually expands.

In fact, Jiang Tian has arranged a lot of people for Tang Yan.

In addition to the old people before.

He also sent more than a dozen apprentices.

Let them learn the craft from Tang Yan.

Among the old people before.

There is a young man named Xu Shaoyi who has graduated.

Speaking of this Xu Shaoyi.

Jiang Tian caught him very early.

But he has always been asked to work behind Tang Yan, so no one pays attention to him.

Later.

After he graduated, Tang Yan did mention it to Jiang Tian.

He said that Xu Shaoyi is very talented in blacksmithing.

He hopes that Jiang Tian can open a branch of the blacksmith shop for Xu Shaoyi.

However.

At that time, Jiang Tian was too busy.

He was dealing with other things, so this matter was temporarily shelved.

Now.

It has come to the stage of mass production of currency.

Jiang Tian has to consider it.

Should we quickly build a blacksmith shop...

With the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce in the Sky Island World.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the currency issued by the Chamber of Commerce will appear everywhere in the world.

By then.

The amount of currency required will be an astronomical figure.

Not only that.

Jiang Tian will have a big plan by then.

…

At the same time.

On an Sky Island.

A short, plain-looking man was pacing back and forth.

Beside him, several men with calm temperaments were sitting at the long table.

This man was Lao Ma.

And the men around him, except Xiao Ma, were all business BOSSes from the previous world.

At this time.

A mature-looking man spoke.

"Lao Ma, is what you said just now true?"

Just now, Lao Ma announced a major news.

According to intelligence, the Chamber of Commerce is actually going to issue currency!

This news.

Let all these business BOSSes sit still!

Because of the issue of currency.

They are also going to do it!

And they are going to do it soon!

But I never expected it.

The Merchant Alliance actually took action first!

The Sky Island World is not the previous world.

In the previous world.

Not to mention that it is illegal to privately create currency.

Even if it is other business.

As long as they are targeted by these business bosses.

Even if it was a piece of iron, they would have to bite off a piece of it!

Not to mention directly crushing it with capital.

It's simply commonplace.

But now, it is different from the past.

In the world of empty islands.

These proud capitalists have started all over again.

Now, they are only in the stage of accumulating the original foundation.

And business alliance.

But it is already a behemoth in the sky island world.

Want to shake up the business alliance.

That would be too difficult!

Lao Ma took a deep breath.

His gaze gradually deepened.

I don’t know what he is thinking about at this time.

but.

After a while.

Lao Ma still spoke.

"That's what happened. I accidentally found out about it from a member of the Business Alliance."

Just today.

The old horse is the same as usual.

I purchased a lot of ore at a low price and prepared to resell it to the Merchant Alliance.

Because the Merchant Alliance also has a finishing process.

So there are many businessmen who resell ore.

They will go to the business alliance first to check it out.

Earn the difference.

certainly.

Although the price difference is not much.

But fortunately, the amount of ore is large.

Quantitative changes produce qualitative changes.

You can still make a lot of money.

It was also during trading chat.

Only then did Lao Ma learn the shocking news.

And the person who spread the news.

It is exactly 0888.

certainly.

About that.

Jiang Tian did not deliberately let the members of the business alliance hide it.

after all.

Even if it is spread out now.

For the business alliance, it has no impact.

On the contrary, it can also have an advertising effect.

Let more people know about this in advance.

It also facilitates the subsequent issuance of currency.

but.

This news means nothing to anyone else.

But it fell on the ears of people like Lao Ma and Xiao Ma.

But it's quite remarkable.

after all.

They also want to make currency!

This time.

Collided with the business alliance.

This is obviously not a good thing!

The reputation and strength of the business alliance.

Far beyond what they can match.

This is if currency is issued simultaneously.

There will definitely be difficulties in issuing their currency!

"Then what do we do?"

Xiao Ma, who had been silent until now, asked in a timid voice.

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone else was speechless.

What else can be done?

Are you going to fight the business alliance?

Unless many large forces are involved.

Only then is this possible!

Although the business alliance is usually inconspicuous.

But people like Lao Ma are not fools.

Others don’t know the true strength of the Merchant Alliance.

How could they not know?

Been in business for so many years.

This is the first time they have encountered a force like the Merchant Alliance!

When there was competition in the industry in the past.

Even if they are still in their terminal stages.

He also dared to swing his fist and sword at the awesome man above.

Because there is a gap in capital among everyone.

But they firmly believe that they can cross this gap and become a common existence of capital.

However.

When facing business alliances.

But there is always a feeling of powerlessness.

for example.

Most of them have a business of reselling ore.

In addition to themselves, they even know that many big forces are dumping ores to the Merchant Alliance.

Such a large amount can be eaten by the Merchant Alliance!

Not only that.

The business developed by the merchant alliance is also divided into various categories.

And every business belongs to the top category of the industry.

Such as furniture, weapons, agriculture.

This is true.

The furniture made by Shangmeng is beautiful and of very good quality.

There were many forces before that were also developing the manufacturing and customization of wooden furniture.

But then they found out.

The wooden furniture produced by oneself is on top of the wooden furniture produced by the merchant alliance.

It’s not the same grade at all!

so.

Forced into desperation.

They had to lower the price.

But the price cannot be reduced too much.

After all, you can’t lose money on material costs, labor costs, etc., right?

at last.

As a result, the business of these furniture-producing forces is extremely poor.

It even took a long time to place an order.

after all.

Not everyone has a subordinate named Lu Ban.

Is the furniture made by the God of Craftsman ordinary?

The same is true for other industries.

In addition, the Commercial Alliance itself is the largest arms exporter.

The capital it controls is simply not comparable to other forces.

certainly.

The reason why the business alliance can develop peacefully.

In fact, it was also attributed to Jiang Tian's remarks on the World Channel.

He made it clear.

The business alliance has no intention of competing for hegemony and only wants to do good business.

And the following facts also prove this.

The Merchant Alliance has not taken the initiative to attack any force.

Although there are mercenaries, they are still in the mercenary business.

In essence, it is still a businessman's move.

so.

Although other forces are more afraid of the Merchant Alliance, they have never regarded the Merchant Alliance as a real enemy.

But people like Lao Ma are different.

They themselves are businessmen and capital.

It’s just that after coming to the empty island world, the capital is gone.

But he is still a businessman.

Besides.

Capital is not just money, it is more of a network of people.

As the old saying goes.

A well-known billionaire, even if he is penniless, as long as he still has the title of billionaire.

Then he can live like a billionaire.

Because no one will consider whether he still has money.

Everyone only knows that this person is a billionaire.

For Lao Ma and others.

The same is true.

Although they have to start all over again after coming to the Sky Island World.

But there are many forces willing to make friends and cooperate with Lao Ma and others.

Do they care about the resources that Lao Ma and others have now?

No!

What they care about is the title of Lao Ma and others in the previous world!

Because no one will question whether Lao Ma and others will rise again after coming to this world!

After all.

For the top leaders of those large forces.

The rise of Lao Ma and others is definitely a foregone conclusion.

However.

The actions of the Chamber of Commerce this time.

But it made Lao Ma and others panic.

They want to accelerate the accumulation of capital.

Issuing currency is the best shortcut, no doubt about it.

In other words.

Whoever issues currency first.

And becomes well-known.

Then whoever can master the most important voice in the world!

And with the issuance of currency.

More money-making businesses will be launched in the future.

Finally.

The accumulation of capital will be like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger!

For a while, Lao Ma did not reply.

Instead, he was still thinking about countermeasures.

At this time.

A middle-aged man sitting at the end stood up.

"I have an idea."

As soon as this was said.

Everyone looked at the man in unison.

"Lao Wang, if you have any ideas, you can say it out. We are all in the same camp, there is no need to keep it a secret." Lao Ma said.

Xiao Ma also urged: "Yes, Lao Wang, if you have any ideas, just say it out!"

And Lao Wang touched his nose.

To be honest.

He can sit here thanks to his capital in the previous world.

Lao Wang was in real estate in the previous world.

But when he came to the Sky Island World, he was at a loss.

How can he do real estate on the Sky Island?

It is basically impossible to make a comeback.

However.

Thanks to his previous capital.

Lao Ma and others still pulled him into the business alliance.

Making him a member of the business alliance.

However.

Now Lao Wang is not doing real estate-related business, but like Lao Ma and others, he resells resources.

And his business is average.

That's why he sits at the bottom.

Lao Wang shook his head, put aside his distracting thoughts, and took a deep breath.

He said: "Maybe we can find a representative to talk to the leader of the business alliance..."

Before he finished speaking.

He was interrupted by a middle-aged man named Lao Xu.

This Lao Xu was also in the real estate business in the previous world, and he also did it well.

But after coming to the Sky Island World, his situation is the same as Lao Wang.

So he is now sitting next to Lao Wang.

He is also at the bottom.

Lao Xu glanced at Lao Wang with disdain, "Talk to the leader of the Business Alliance? What to talk about? Ask him not to issue currency first, let us issue it first?"

Hearing this squeeze on himself.

Lao Wang's temper also rose.

He himself was a soldier.

Where has anyone been so rude before.

"Lao Xu, stop talking nonsense here. When did I say such a thing? Don't try to guess my thoughts!"

In the previous life, since both of them were in real estate.

Although Lao Wang was mainly engaged in commercial real estate and Lao Xu was mainly engaged in residential real estate.

There was not much conflict.

But after all, they were in the same industry.

Lao Wang also worked in residential real estate, and Lao Xu also worked in business.

So after the two came to the Sky Island World and joined the Business Alliance, they often quarreled.

When Lao Xu heard this, he sneered and continued to be sarcastic.

"I heard that when you were on a variety show, you said you were very cultured?"

"Oh? What do you think, Wang? I'd like to hear it."
