Of course, this does not mean that silver is useless. Silver just withdraws from the currency circulation system and is stored as a currency reserve.

The new legal tender is against the U.S. dollar, which means that the government of the Republic of China will implement the gold standard financially.

It is said that the government of the Republic of China is negotiating with the U.S. government to borrow [-] million U.S. dollars from the United States as a reserve, and then issue legal currency, so that the currency anchor of the legal currency is the U.S. dollar.

Lu Ming is not optimistic about this currency reform. The government's fiscal policy fluctuates, ups and downs, and if you have a headache, you will treat your head and foot. Such reforms will most likely be abandoned halfway.

From the point of view of reform measures, it is also half-baked and lacks long-term planning.

First of all, the currency issuance of [-] million US dollars is too small, and it is destined to be implemented only in the Jiangnan area. In other provinces, it is estimated that silver dollars and copper coins will dominate.

Multiple currencies are popular in a country, which in itself is unreliable.

Secondly, the issuance of currency by the government requires not only strong government credit, but also sufficient currency reserves and a complete heavy metal exchange system. This is also an inherent deficiency of the government of the Republic of China.

However, Lu Ming didn't have much interest in these things. Whether it was silver dollars or fiat currency, he didn't need them anyway. What he had was a steady stream of dollars.

Kenda Yingji kept reminding him to buy gold for storage, but he was never interested.

If a person is not short of money and is not greedy for money, then gold bars, silver dollars and the like are just a series of numbers to him, not even a decoration.

Lu Ming is such a person.

However, he had already asked Sheng's Bank to buy a box of gold bars for him, and he planned to sell them to him at a low price when Qian Tian wanted to buy gold, which was considered as a favor to him.

Lu Ming's monthly salary has risen to [-] U.S. dollars, [-] U.S. dollars are paid by Mr. Frank, and [-] U.S. dollars are paid by the "Washington Post". It's high income class.

Now Sheng Youde still pays him a salary of [-] silver dollars every year, and he doesn't need to do anything, he just treats it as a dividend for himself as a shareholder of Sheng's enterprise.

Lu Ming has another dual identity, the chief legal advisor of Sheng's enterprise and Sheng Youde's personal plenipotentiary representative, but since joining the Blue Shirts, Sheng Youde has never let him work for the company, which is also his protection.

But in terms of status, Lu Ming is already under one person and over ten thousand in Sheng's enterprise. Even Sheng Muyi can only exercise management power over the enterprise, and does not have administrative power to make decisions, let alone represent her father with full authority.

"After the new president took office, have the hearts of the people in the club stabilized?" Lu Ming asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's almost there. Now the candidate for the director of the Sixth Division has not been decided yet, and many people are staring at this position. I wonder if the president has a suitable candidate in mind?" Liu Qiwen asked.

"This is something decided by the Nanjing headquarters, not something I should consider." Lu Ming said with his hands behind his head.

"Then you have decided on the position of Vice President Huang, the Nanjing headquarters should also ask for your opinion." Liu Qiwen laughed.

"That's not what I decided. I just recommend it. The main thing is that Vice President Huang fought for it himself, and the Nanjing side decided." Of course, Lu Ming couldn't admit that this matter had something to do with him, even though everyone knew that Huang Yanning became the vice president. It's because of his relationship.

"President, I know the weight of your words, so you don't have to be humble with me, I'm your secretary." Liu Qiwen began to act like a baby again.

"Don't move, you say this, you don't want to recommend someone?" Lu Ming asked a little vigilantly.

"How dare I, a small person like me getting involved in such a big matter, don't I want to kill myself?" Liu Qiwen curled her lips and said.

Lu Ming nodded. Although this girl could be seen to be scheming, she still had self-knowledge.

This kind of matter should not be touched easily. This is not a matter of choosing the director of the department. It is related to factional disputes within the agency, and even involves the high-level officials in Nanjing.

Lu Ming didn't want to get involved in this matter either, so let Weng Bailing and the Nanjing side make the decision. Anyway, no matter who comes up, he won't be able to shake his position.

As long as there are people, it is the same, and the prestigious Whampoa faction is not monolithic, and there are also factions and disputes, large and small.

Although Lu Ming didn't intervene, he was still watching, ready to strike at the right time, fight for what should be won, suppress what should be suppressed, but now is not a good time to make a move.

Lu Ming laughed when he thought of this, last night Sheng Youde reminded him to be careful of Weng Bailing, saying that this person is very sinister.

In fact, there are very few people in this society who are aboveboard, and even those who are truly aboveboard cannot do this job.

Lu Ming was originally an upright person, but now he has learned to be insidious. Being upright in this sinister den is like swimming naked.

It is very difficult for a person to learn to be good, but it is very easy to learn to be bad.

Lu Ming's index finger and middle finger poked his head together.

But there was no way around it. It was not an easy task to survive in this building. Achievements at work alone were not enough. Relationships were the most important achievement.

This is still in this building, and within the government of the Republic of China, the struggle is not so gentle, it is simply a battle of life and death.

The two factions of Mr. Jiang and Mr. Wang have basically used all their tricks except that they did not use the army to fight. Besides the two factions, it is the financial faction represented by Sheng Youde.

It just so happened that Lu Ming was the plenipotentiary representative of Sheng Youde, so it was impossible for him to stay out of the matter. Sooner or later, the matter would come to him, and he knew this very well.

There are also two factions in the financial field, one is the international financial faction represented by Sheng Youde, and the other is the local financial faction represented by Song and Kong. The struggle is equally fierce.

However, the battle between the two factions has nothing to do with Lu Ming for the time being, he has not risen to this level yet, it is the battlefield where Sheng Youde personally fights.

"By the way, I've seen your file. Are you a fellow villager with Mr. Weng? Why don't you become his private secretary? Didn't you say that when fellow villagers see fellow villagers, their tears are watery. If you become his private secretary, He will take care of you." Lu Ming said with concern.

"What's the matter, sir, you dislike me and want to kick me away, don't you?" Liu Qiwen's eyes turned red, and she was so wronged that she was about to cry.

"Hey, what are you crying for? I'm just joking with you, I'm just curious. Don't cry, I'll buy you candy later." Lu Ming said hastily, he couldn't see girls crying , especially pretty girls.

Liu Qiwen was laughed at by him, and said with a puff: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Weng doesn't like me."

Speaking of which, Liu Qiwen came over and sat on his desk, bowed her head and said in a low voice, "The secretary chosen by Mr. Weng is going to have sex with him. The data officer from the Sixth Office..."

"Fuck, shameless." Lu Ming cursed in a low voice.

Lu Ming looked down on this kind of people who use their power to take advantage of girls from the bottom of their hearts. This kind of behavior is not as good as the flamboyant Shanghai Kuo Shao. If they buy it directly with money, it can be regarded as a confession, at least they will not treat girls badly.

He originally thought that Weng Bailing was a good person, but now Weng Bailing was immediately lowered in his heart.

"What's the matter? It's all a matter of mutual consent, and it's not forced by anyone. Many people are eager for it. Doesn't it mean that the president doesn't have this requirement?" Liu Qiwen teased.

"No, no, my fiancée is amazing." Lu Ming shook his head hastily.

"Secretly, no one will know." Liu Qiwen's face flushed, and the light from her eyes was even more charming.

"Secretary Liu." Lu Ming suddenly said loudly.

"Here!" Liu Qiwen jumped off the table and stood at attention.

"Work honestly, and you are not allowed to molest the chief." Lu Ming said seriously.

"Yes, sir..." Liu Qiwen burst out laughing.

She didn't go any further, but went back to her desk and sat down, her heart bursting with laughter.

It is said that men steal women, a mountain is separated, women steal men, and a layer of paper is separated. Now she has already taken the initiative to pierce this layer of paper, and is waiting for Lu Ming to take action.

Of course, she also knew that Lu Ming was a veteran in Fengyue Field, not the kind of person who easily surrendered his gun and refused to kill.

If Lu Ming was that kind of sentimental person, and she didn't need to seduce him, he might have already attacked her.

The more this is the case, the more she feels that Lu Ming is precious. If she can be seduced, she will have a real reliance for the rest of her life.
