126: Chapter 126 Distributor Conference (Part Two)

Zhang Baiyi ran over in a great hurry.

"Grandpa, you're so leisurely. It's about to start! You've only just shown up!"

"Don't I have you guys? By the way, how are the preparations going?"

"Everything is ready! The venue is set up, and the big shots you asked us to invite have arrived. Qin Tiejun and Wu Lian are in the VIP lounge right now!"

Zhang Baiyi said.

"That's good! Are there many foreign companies here?"

"Plenty, but it's strange—not a single one from America! It's a bit unusual. If we're talking about money, they're the ones with the most!"

It was only right that the Americans didn't come.

The robots Gao Yuan sent were gradually taking control of those big shots; those who couldn't be controlled were simply destroyed and replaced.

They probably weren't under full control yet.

Besides, recruiting agents and raising money was only secondary; the most important thing was to expand his community of shared interests!

Those people in America were already in his pocket; it didn't matter whether they came or not.

Furthermore, following his strikes against America, the American capital market was in a state of panic, and the stock market was filled with wails of despair.

No one knew how much longer the us dollar could hold out.

The us dollar hadn't collapsed yet mainly due to its momentum as an international currency; once a replacement emerged, the us dollar would be tossed into the garbage heap without hesitation.

However, Gao Yuan couldn't let the us dollar collapse just yet; the xia country currency wasn't ready to become an international currency.

Moreover, Xia didn't currently possess the necessary conditions.

Just like a thousand years ago, the whole world procured goods from Xia, but Xia bought less and less from abroad.

Trade had become unilateral; Xia was the only country in the world like this.

Facts proved that unilaterally procuring goods from Xia was not enough to make the xia country currency a world currency.

Because a massive amount of currency would only concentrate in Xia without being spent.

This was the case with silver hundreds of years ago; global silver continuously flowed into Xia, and once it entered, it never left.

This eventually forced the West to resort to opium to balance the trade deficit!

Modern-day Xia was seeing this trend again: us dollars flowed in in large quantities but out in small amounts, and there were fewer and fewer things to buy. The higher-ups were also anxious, which is why they held an Import Expo every year—just to buy more things from abroad!

Xia was the only country in the world to host an Import Expo.

Therefore, theoretically, the more developed Xia's industries became, the further the xia country currency moved from being an international currency.

America's industries used to be very powerful too; how did they make the us dollar go global?

In the early stages, it was through massive spending and global aid—something Xia was currently doing.

In the middle stage, the us dollar was pegged to gold to attract global gold reserves. In the later stage, industrial chains were outsourced, with a large number of low-to-mid-end industrial chains leaving America. These industrial chains bloomed worldwide alongside the us dollar, which was subsequently pegged to oil, establishing it firmly as the world currency.

Why couldn't Xia do the same? Because Xia's scale was too large; its population base was greater than that of America and dozens of European countries combined. It was almost impossible for a massive relocation of industrial chains to occur.

So for now, the us dollar couldn't collapse; if it did, world trade would collapse.

However, Gao Yuan felt there was another way.

When Xia controlled the entire global economy, the xia country currency would naturally become the world currency.

Gao Yuan didn't know what happened in the Future World, but in that world, the Xia people held absolute dominance.

So, he didn't mind making it happen again in the Real World.

"Old Gao, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, let's go!"

Hundreds of corporate representatives from all over the world had already entered the venue.

Security inside the venue was handled by Security Robots.

Gao Yuan wasn't worried about any accidents.

The companies that had previously cooperated with Black Fish Technology, such as Xiawei's Zhou Lei and Dami's Lei Jianjun, were all at the front.

Gao Yuan walked onto the stage, and everyone's eyes focused on him.

"Thank you all for coming! You are all entrepreneurs from around the globe, and your purpose for being here goes without saying! Now, let's get straight to the point! Lin Mei, the map!"

Lin Mei immediately switched to a map. On the map, over 200 countries worldwide—excluding Xia and America—were divided into fifty regions. Large countries formed their own regions, but there were still many small nations in this world.

For example, there were many island nations in the Pacific; these small countries had small populations and small land areas, so their market prospects weren't great. Thus, Gao Yuan had Lin Mei integrate those small countries based on their level of economic development and population.

"As you can see, we have divided the whole world into fifty regions. The agency rights for each region are exclusive. Any enterprise or individual can place a bid, and each region will go to the highest bidder!"

The corporate representatives below began to buzz with discussion.

"Mr. Zhang, your company is wealthy and powerful; are you going to take at least five or six regions?"

"Mr. Ma, you're joking. You're the real big shot. I'm afraid at least ten of these fifty regions will be yours!"

"Mr. Hans, I am determined to win the market in your Germany!"

"Old York, are you Gauls so arrogant? Well then, I'll take the Gaul market for you and send you a piece of Constant Temperature Clothing when the time comes!"

"Yoshi, the Southern Dynasty market is ours!"

...

Gao Yuan actually spotted an old acquaintance on the stage.

Li Taixi from the Southern Dynasty was also there. It seemed that capitalists were indeed the most forgiving; even though he had screwed over Nine Stars before, they still came to support him.

Seeing Gao Yuan again, Li Taixi's expression was grim, but the secretary beside him reminded him, "Vice President Li, we came here specifically to secure the agency rights for the Southern Dynasty. We cannot afford to fail! If our market is taken by the Japanese or the Xia people, we will never have another chance! We will only slowly decline!"

"I know..."

Li Taixi took a deep breath!

Gao Yuan raised his hand.

"Now, I will explain the auction rules. We have numbered the fifty regions and will auction them one by one, starting from number one. There is a wrist machine in front of each representative. You can place your bids on the wrist machine, but there is only one bidding opportunity for each region. The representative with the highest bid will win the agency rights!"

"If someone places a bid but fails to pay, they will be permanently blacklisted by Black Fish Technology. Consequently, all enterprises or companies trading with Black Fish Technology will be prohibited from trading with that company! Meanwhile, the agency rights will pass to the second-highest bidder, and so on!"

"Now, auctioning Region One... the Polar Bear! Please place your bids!"

For the agency of the Polar Bear region, Xia companies were the most active, and local Polar Bear enterprises were also eager to try. After all, everyone knew that securing the agency rights would not only guarantee steady profits but also enhance their company's competitiveness!"

Some corporate representatives began to ponder: how much should they bid?

After all, they could only bid once; there was no opportunity for trial and error! Once lost, it was lost forever.

Gao Yuan's setup made many entrepreneurs curse inwardly! Therefore, the corporate representatives could only bid at the very top of their psychological price range.

This not only improved efficiency but also drove up the price!
