Chapter 168: 280
Chapter 280: Monget Dynasty Exclusive Currency
After reading the section belonging to the Holy Mechanical Society, Gao Yi looked at the part that he cared about most, which was the commercial function of this platform.
When Gao Yi opened it, a virtual trading platform appeared before his eyes.
Although it seems a bit crude because not much optimization has been done yet, it has everything it needs.
"My lord! The trading market you mentioned has already started expanding two months ago. No, it should be said that it is now in trial operation within the star region, and the effect is much better than we imagined! You don't know how happy Governor Rebecca is recently. She has a lot more money on hand recently.
This is the first time I heard Governor Rebecca praise me. Usually, she avoided me every time I went to her for funding. Now, she finally stopped saying that I was just a money-spending machine.
The resources and profits that this platform has brought us during this period of time are much faster than normal mining or collecting membership fees from other dynasties!
I never believed that this kind of transaction could bring such lucrative benefits to the dynasty. Think about the Mongert Dynasty before you became a wandering trader. Every time we had to go to the unknown void, we had to go through countless dangers to return to the empire, and then we had to work hard to find buyers, and even had to be forced to lower the price. But now we don't have to do anything and can get a lot of money. "
Pavian actually missed the hard days.
Gao Yi was speechless for a while. He glanced at Pavian who was still sighing, and focused his attention again. Sure enough, a large amount of transaction information was spread all over the platform in front of him.
Daily necessities, metals needed for manufacturing, weapons and equipment, technology, population, Gao Yi even saw various commodities such as SCV maintenance services hung on it by the Monget Dynasty itself.
There is a dazzling array of different products from various star fields, so numerous that it is impossible to scroll through them all.
Gao Yi even saw some war employment contracts.
Of course, some obviously heretical or even extremely dangerous alien creations will not be allowed to be placed on this platform.
After all, the cold market trade still needs to be kept in the dark.
However, the profits brought to buyers and sellers by open transactions are no less than those of the illegal cold market trades in the past.
If you want to promote this platform, you still have to abide by the basic laws of the empire.
The buyer's information is clearly visible behind the product, including the name, the force to which the buyer belongs, and the galaxy in which the buyer is located.
And this information has been authenticated by officials of the Monget Dynasty.
Those who can enter this trading platform now are considered to be high-quality members of the alliance or expansion area, or those independent planets that have had many good cooperation with the dynasty. Illegal criminal organizations such as pirates are not allowed to enter this platform.
Gao Yi could even see the names of official imperial departments within the expansion zone, including the Imperial Navy and the trading orders of the Pioneer Mechanicus.
According to regulations, the entire platform is not yet open to most individual users, except for some prestigious people. If you are a cardinal, a high-level inquisitor, or a naval general, you can also have a personal account.
Concise and clear information allows people to communicate with each other more quickly.
It may be difficult to find buyers or sellers within a galaxy, but when the scope is wide enough, you can always find the people you need and exchange your excess resources for the materials you need more.
"Lord, the daily trading volume is now astonishing! Everyone benefits from this trading platform!"
According to Gao Yi's request, the platform does not prohibit the original form of barter.
However, the dynasty will not guarantee the final success of the transaction and the authenticity of the goods, which is not conducive to the dynasty's profit from each transaction.
Of course, is there a safer and more convenient way? Yes! Brother Bao has it.
"Mongert Credits?"
Gao Yi continued to check the transaction information on the platform. As expected, there were very few barter orders, and the purchase prices of most goods were marked in Monget credit points.
In particular, various materials within his dynasty are no longer accepted for barter, but can only be traded with the credit points of the Mongert Dynasty. Gao Yi can see that this is a move made by Rebecca to promote credit points. There will definitely be some opposition voices in the early stage, but these things are monopolized by the dynasty.
You have to accept it whether you like or not.
If you want to continue to obtain goods from the dynasty, you must accept this monetary system, and the membership fees submitted by alliance members are required to be settled with credit points, rather than actual material output.
"That's right! After you acquired the power of the Governor and the status of High Lord, Governor Rebecca formulated this currency that will be temporarily circulated within the sphere of influence of our dynasty according to your request. This currency is issued on the basis of your credit and that of the Monget Dynasty, and is backed by the military force and huge industrial assets of the Monget Dynasty.
Anyone who has these currencies can purchase any publicly traded goods and services from the Dynasty. When the number of transactions reaches a certain scale, the Dynasty can even arrange for transport ships equipped with jump engines to deliver the goods to their doorsteps! This way, they don't have to worry about loss or being attacked by pirates or looted by other aliens during transportation.
The real-name authentication system you mentioned also ensures that people who conduct transactions are trustworthy to a large extent, so that there will not be large-scale situations where they assist the enemy.
Dynasty would charge 10% of the credit points as a handling fee for each transaction. They had no objection to these fees. After all, compared with the previous lack of information, transportation costs and possible accidents, this was simply a very cost-effective deal.
The commission collected also allows us to purchase all kinds of materials needed directly from the trading platform. Dynasty itself is the largest buyer and seller on this platform! Dynasty needs to consume a lot of materials every day.
These consumed materials will also be converted into credit points and circulated back into the market, forming a virtuous cycle."
"Tell Rebecca to maintain the exchange rate of these credit points for Dynasty materials, and not to print credit points at will."
"I'll tell Governor Rebecca."
Gao Yi listened to Pavian's report and nodded. In the world of Warhammer, weapons, population, technology, and materials are all hard currencies, and his dynasty uses these things as collateral for credit points.
The tithes collected within the empire are also these things, which are themselves the currency of the Warhammer world.
These four kinds of high fortitude are now all possessed.
Many interstellar technological equipment are now best-selling items, especially combat suits. War has always been the main theme of this world, and combat suits have been in short supply after so many years.
With the continuous breakthroughs in star technology, the guarantee of credit points will become more solid. Before interstellar equipment is completely saturated in the Warhammer world, there is almost no need to worry about credit points losing the trust of users.
Dynasty's existing production capacity is fully capable of supporting the redemption of credit point owners.
For others, having credit points will make transactions with wandering traders or forces outside the Monget Dynasty more convenient, and transactions can be completed by simply operating on the platform.
The Dynasty also settled reports on Rogue Traders who unconditionally provided supplies to the Dynasty during the Cadian War directly in the form of credit points, but if others wanted to obtain information points, they would need to exchange them for various supplies, effective population, unprecedented technologies and other things the Dynasty needed.
Especially technology, maybe those who explored the expansion area had dug up some useful technology. Human technology in the Golden Age was still very powerful.
Not only can it be used for personal use, but it can also fill in the pre-tech tree of Stars.
In order to increase the authority of the currency, Gao Yi even asked Weir to form a special force
