Chen Xi looked at Wei Zi and fell into deep thought. From a conscience, Wei Zi's asking price was obviously calculated and the price was given after a lot of drops.

There is also statistics on how much tax revenue is for Guangtong Canal and Tongji Canal in one year. In 206, that is, in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, the tax revenue of Guangtong Canal and Tongji Canal was about 560 million yuan. This data seems to be only slightly higher than the 500 million yuan mentioned by Weiz, and it only reached the level of 500 million last year. But so far, Guangtong Canal and Tongji Canal are still far from the upper limit of tax revenue.

The upper limit of tax revenue for this golden waterway is actually estimated when it is designed. With Chen Xi's current development rate, after the population enters an outbreak period, there is no need to talk about the Tongji Canal. The annual tax revenue of Guangtong Canal, owned by the Wei family in Donghe, can reach one billion.

Therefore, the discount of 12.4 billion is not high, but it is actually in line with the intimidating materials of this era. The price is 40% off when the emergency discount is made. Of course, when the Zhen family was suppressed, 10% off was indeed an outrageous method. As the official, Chen Xi did not do that kind of thing. The Wei family took the initiative to 10% off, which is actually enough to show how bad the current situation in Cao Cao was.

It’s just that Chen Xi can write down the cash of 12.4 billion yuan on the spot, but to be honest, in the current situation where real materials are not available for a premium, and Chen Xi cannot buy them at a cost price, so it is impossible for Chen Xi to take them out in a short time.

To be realistic, it’s not that Chen Xi doesn’t have it. There are strategic materials reserved at the end of the year, but Chen Xi and Liu Ba are different here. Liu Ba really dares to clear it, but Chen Xi never clears it. Even if it is cleared in name, he will retain a five-year plan emergency reserve (fund) plan. Chen Xi will do this first for every five-year plan.

The first five-year plan was that this thing was about to move several times, but it didn't move in the end. In fact, Chen Xi's original intention was to waste this plan rather than to move this reserve.

"There is 12.4 billion yuan, but it is probably impossible to transfer enterprises and materials worth 12.4 billion yuan." Chen Xi thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "It's too much, the price is lower, Chen Xi can pass it, and he can provide assistance now, which is really impossible."

"Mr. Chen should have emergency reserves. Can you use it? It is now the end of Yuanfeng's eighth year, and the five-year plan has been halfway through." Wei Zi said sincerely. As for continuing to reduce prices, according to Wei's calculations, Guangtong Channel's annual income should be close to one billion in about the fifteenth year of Yuanfeng. There is no choice for 12.4 billion yuan in packages and sale at the current price.

"Sorry, there is no sufficient reason for this thing to be used." Chen Xi shook her head. Wei Zi was silent for a long time, and even a hint of sadness appeared on her face. For Chen Xi, isn't this enough reason? So that's it!

"Wait for a moment, I'll go back." Wei Zi was silent for a while, and stood up to salute Chen Xi. He needed to go back and discuss. 12.4 billion was already the bottom line of their Wei family, and it was impossible to lower it any longer. However, facing Chen Xi's reply!

Chen Xi looked at Wei Zixiao's back and shook her head, saying nothing. The price of 12.4 billion is indeed very low. Even if Chen Xi wants to buy back at this time, it is impossible for Chen Xi to withdraw materials of such a large scale at present. As for the use of emergency reserves, Chen Xi just thought for a little while and then put out the idea.

Although Guangtong Canal and Tongji Canal are important, they will be redeemed sooner or later. Compared with the storm after storm in the past two years, Chen Xi is somewhat afraid, so Chen Xi still doesn't want to use the emergency reserves if they can be used.

Of course, if Weiz is willing to accept the transfer of industrial value of 7 billion, Chen Xi is even willing to pay more cash. Of course, this cash will be paid before June next year. In total, the total value can reach more than 15 billion. Unfortunately, Cao Cao's current situation does not support it.

Wei Zi was sent back by Cao Hong. Only two senior executives who were involved in Cao Cao's power did not participate in Liu Ba's financial operations, one was Chen Gong and the other was Cao Hong.

Needless to say, the former is clean and honest, and the money is all operated by Chen Xi. As the last member to acquire the original state capital stock, he does not intervene in Liu Ba's financial operations. The other one, Cao Hong participated in only one related to financial management, called savings.

Do you understand what Pixiu is? Cao Hong is this type of person.

Cao Hong sends money back to Chang'an every year and stores it in Chang'an Money House, so Cao Hong is currently the richest person in Cao Cao's power. Of course, this time Cao Cao forced Cao Hong to use all the money he had accumulated over the years to buy various supplies.

Cao Hong was very heartbroken, but Cao Hong was really Cao Cao's iron-kick, so Cao Hong took out all the money in pain, then exchanged it into tickets in Chang'an, and sent it to the state-owned hall at the beginning of Han in Midia, and then the hall there was settled with Rome, or called for supplies from Central Asia. In short, it was delivered to Cao Cao's forces in the Herat region as fast as possible.

By the way, before Liu Ba collapses, this settlement system can be directly connected with Liu Ba, and then Changan's tickets are exchanged directly on Liu Ba. With the internal gas leaving the body to ensure communication, this settlement system can be settled on the same day.

It can be said that this is the most efficient settlement method at present, but once this ultra-large-scale settlement system of tickets and materials is higher than one billion, Chen Xi needs to review it, and then sign it behind the ticket and stamp it with a stamp. If it is less than one billion, it also requires the corresponding level of central bank staff to sign and stamp it with a stamp.

In fact, this is the endorsement method of multinational banks during international settlement in the 19th and 20th century. There was no such online transfer, online docking and cross-border trade settlement process that would be extremely complicated. The only one in the Han Dynasty can undertake such settlement is Chang'an Money House.

Of course, because Liu Ba has collapsed the economic system of Herat-Kandahar, Chen Xi's ticket cannot be redeemed directly locally, so he can only be redeemed at the Midiya Trading City and then sent to Herat.

This efficiency is relatively high, but compared to the way you can pick up goods locally with just a ticket, it is much worse. But who asked Liu Ba and the others to do it? Chen Xi had no choice but to use the more primitive method before.

"How is it? Did the Shangshu Pushe pass?" Cao Hong asked immediately.

"No, Mr. Chen rejected this proposal." Wei Zi shook his head and said.

"The two golden waterways are only 12.4 billion yuan in packages. I don't have money. If I have money, I just bought it." Cao Hong said in confusion, "Does Chen Hou still think it's expensive?"

"It's not that I think it's expensive, but that I can't call materials of that size." Weiz sighed and said, "Think carefully about whether there are so many materials in the Midiya Trading City, it's still a problem. If we mobilize materials from the local area, it will take too much time. We must survive the run. Now we have just calmed down the restlessness, but it has not been fully cashed out, and the run is still in front of us."

Wei Zi and others did not consider more vicious means, that is, some families under Cao Cao and the Central Asian families have now dealt with the tickets that Liu Ba sold to them to the people under Cao Cao before they were privately dealt with at a low price.

After all, Cao Cao's current approach is actually to protect the people and soldiers and cut off his wealthy families. Of course, for fairness, he first cut off his own family. Now, Cao Cao, who has regained his hearts, has no choice but to use Cao Cao, who has won the hearts of the people.

But are these families who follow Cao Cao really willing to lose money, real estate, factories, mining and enterprises? Indeed, even if these people are rioting and putting pressure on Cao Cao, they will not be able to solve the problem when Cao Cao has regained military strength.

After all, the current issue of Cao Cao's power, after Liu Ba made a quick decision to distribute assets to the soldiers and the people, the original internal explosion situation has become the situation of Chen Xi facing the middle and upper class before, but facing the dissatisfaction of more than a hundred people represented by the middle and upper class, and facing the dissatisfaction of millions of grassroots who had the military and basic social organizational forces before, at least the former could be suppressed.

Therefore, for these middle and upper classes, it is not enough to die a Liu Ba. It is just a catharsis. They also want to get back their assets. Why do the mud legs stole their things? It is obviously their things, so why should they be distributed to those people?

So when Cao Cao began to exchange for the people and soldiers, the clever ones among these people had already begun to sell their tickets to the people and soldiers at a low price. Anyway, the people and soldiers could exchange them, which did not mean that we could exchange them too. At worst, we would suffer some losses.

For the people and soldiers who have already started to exchange land, plantations, farms at this time, it is not natural to take new low-priced tickets and attempted acquisitions on the market. When these low-priced tickets can really be exchanged with Cao Sikong, these low-priced tickets will become a free bargain.

Liu Ba was in a state of dismay at that time and did not consider this idea. A moral gentleman like Xun Yu had never considered this possibility. This blind spot was about to secretly hang Cao Sikong, who was about to survive, again.

Of course, no one knows all this, and no one realizes it at the moment.

Cao Hong looked at Wei Zi. He didn't understand these things, but he knew that Cao Cao's current situation was very dangerous. Otherwise, he, a rooster, would not have taken out all his money to help Cao Cao through the difficulties. Although Cao Hong's money was a drop in the bucket for Cao Cao, Cao Cao was still very moved.

"I'm going to discuss it with Hedong again. If it really doesn't work, I can only reduce it a little more." Wei Zi said with great apology. The price is already very low, but there is no way. Who can't find a second person to take over in the current situation?

It’s not that no one can take out more money than this. If you really want money, as long as Wei Zi sells the right to use Guangtong Channel and Tongji Channel, wealthy merchants from all over the Central Plains will buy this thing by raising money. Unfortunately, Wei Zi doesn’t want money, but it can quickly transport the materials and various materials to Herat to stabilize the entire Cao Cao market.

Of course, it would be even better if we could switch to some technologies and companies.

At present, the problem of local people and soldiers running under Cao Sikong has affected the confidence of the people in the market to a certain extent. Some daily necessities are already in a state of grabbing goods. Even if Chen Qun hoards these materials, it is not enough to deal with them.

In addition, the subsequent materials cannot be in place on time, and the real run may cause panic among those under the rule and eventually collapse completely.

This is also the reason why Weizi must ask for supplies. For Cao Cao, who has a population of nearly 3 million under his rule, it only costs about 400 cents of supplies to one person, but as long as he survives the first wave of runs, he will be able to operate smoothly in the future.

However, the problem is how to survive the first run, and the longer the delay, the more deadly the first run occurs.

"Didn't change it?" Chen Gong came out from Lu Bu, carrying a paper bag, and looked at Wei Zi with some fatigue and asked.

"No, Hou Chen doesn't accept this price very much, and he is unwilling to use emergency assets. He seems to want to give money. The question is whether we want money?" Wei Zi said helplessly.

Money is very important, but if you really just ask for money, Cao Cao can borrow some of it. In fact, the reason why Cao Cao has not completely become chaotic under Cao Cao's rule is that in addition to Cao Cao's distribution of the entire Helmand River Industrial Park and filling in all the industries of the Zhen family's Central Asia branch, there are also more than a dozen tons of gold bricks piled up at the entrance of the Kandahar Prefecture.

These gold bricks were borrowed from the Yuan family. The Yuan family may be short of materials, but the Yuan family really does not lack gold bricks. However, because Yuan Tan was not here, the mistress Wen could only borrow so much.

These gold bricks have stabilized people's hearts to a certain extent, but to a certain extent, after the run-up to materials comes, these gold bricks cannot stabilize people's hearts.

Just like Ibuprofen ten days ago, when I needed this life-saving, the BRICS could not stabilize people's hearts. Similarly, when the materials on the market were swept away and the run occurred, the BRICS could not calm the people and soldiers down.

Especially when gold cannot be exchanged for materials, this becomes a salary reduction for the Ming Dynasty's Sumu pepper. These things are indeed priced compared to gold, and there is a premium compared to salary. The problem is that I want to eat! If you give me a gold brick, I can't buy supplies in the market, so it's useful!

The same is true for Cao Cao at present. If his money and tickets are to be re-established, materials are needed. Only when more than one billion materials arrive can Cao Cao issue gold bricks to repay the debt. Otherwise, he will issue gold bricks directly and wait for a larger-scale run.

If you can't exchange any money or ticket for any supplies, it's no different from paper. Isn't Cao Cao thinking that he would borrow a few tons of gold from the Yuan family and get it out, but if the gold is sent, he can't buy supplies, so there is any substantial difference from the current ticket? Isn't it still dead!
