90: How about we mint a 100,000 yen note?
Su Yu was a little embarrassed by the enthusiastic questions from the fans in the live broadcast room.
"I've been out of touch for a few days, making my Brothers worried."
"But it's okay, this time the Streamer has experience. And after reporting to the platform in advance and greeting them, he will definitely be able to go offline smoothly, so everyone doesn't have to worry."
Su Yu explained it once, letting the stone hanging in everyone's hearts fall to the ground.
Although the unexpected disconnection of the last broadcast led to his soaring popularity later, the completeness of the broadcast and the specific process were disrupted, and everyone did not witness the dollar passing through the currency detector a second time, which still felt a bit regretful.
So this time, Su Yu's advance explanation made everyone feel more at ease.
"Streamer, Streamer, no matter what country's currency you replicate, we actually have no objections."
"It's just that the exchange rate of the yen is so low, if you really want to replicate it, I suggest you make a lot at once. Otherwise, the cost of making it will be too high, and it won't be cost-effective."
"Good heavens, the person upstairs is too much. The Streamer was originally just doing a simple trial, how did it end up becoming a large-scale replication? The concepts (and prison sentences) of these two are not the same."
"What's different? Making one is making, making two is making, I think making more is fine."
"At first glance, the person upstairs doesn't seem very smart. Large-scale replication can't rely on hand-drawing every single one, that would exhaust the Streamer to death."
"To make a large batch of yen at once, you need a printing press. You don't mean to tell the Streamer to build a printing press, do you?"
Su Yu watched the dangerous comments in the live broadcast room, his eyelids twitching wildly.
Well, it was already extraordinary enough that he could make a dollar that passed the currency detector. Now someone was even encouraging him to build a printing press.
Isn't this trying to send him to a small dark room in minutes?
What did this person mean, what was his intention?!
Su Yu glanced at the other party's IP.
Unknown!
Well, he didn't even need to look to guess that it was probably some anti-fan pretending to be a high-level troll, just trying to lead him astray.
However, the appearance of such comments also reminded him of something.
Regarding his plan to replicate the yen today, he felt it was necessary to explain it clearly to the fans in the live broadcast room in advance.
Thinking of this, Su Yu spoke.
"Brothers, building on the reminder from a Brother just now, the Streamer will respond."
"Large-scale imitation and replication are definitely not something the Streamer can do, so everyone shouldn't expect it."
"However, I think what that Brother said also makes sense. After all, small-scale production has very high cost requirements, and since this is our first time replicating the yen, we still adhere to the principle of not losing money."
"Since the high cost of banknotes will lead to losses, then let's simply innovate."
"As far as I know, the largest denomination of the yen is a ten thousand yen note, so why don't we double it and make a 100,000 yen banknote? This way, even if our costs are a bit higher, it won't matter."
Hearing Su Yu's words, the fans in the live broadcast room's eyes immediately lit up.
Yes, why didn't they think of that?
Anyway, they were making it themselves, who stipulated that they had to follow the existing standards of the yen?
Since the cost of making a ten thousand yen note and a 100,000 yen banknote is not much different.
Instead of imitating it exactly, it's better to innovate and make a 100,000 yen banknote!
"Hahahaha, Streamer, this is a great idea, I think it's very feasible!"
"The Streamer learned from the last time; imitating exactly the same is prone to controversy. This time, we'll make something different, so the other party will have nothing to say."
"A 100,000 yen banknote, tsk tsk tsk, I never thought I'd actually have a chance to see it in my lifetime."
"If this 100,000 yen banknote could really circulate, the yen's economic system would probably shrink dramatically! You know, for current currencies, the less valuable they are, the larger the denomination. The yen is already considered a less valuable currency, if a 100,000 yen banknote were really issued, it's unimaginable..."
"What's so unimaginable about it? Streamer, do it! I support you! Let's make one immediately for everyone to see!"
In the live broadcast room, fans completely accepted Su Yu's constructive suggestion.
He also specifically opened a poll for this.
The final result of the poll was:
1% chose complete imitation, 15% chose to innovate with a 100,000 yen banknote, and 94% chose to do both.
Well, it seems everyone really enjoys watching the excitement and doesn't mind trouble. Only children make choices; adults want it all!
94% of the fans hoped he could imitate both currencies.
And this poll result was also within Su Yu's expectations.
"Since that's the case, then without further ado, let's just start making it!"
After interacting with the audience, Su Yu no longer hesitated and officially began the ten-hour imitation challenge!
...The main denominations of the yen are four: one thousand, two thousand, five thousand, and ten thousand yen note.
The background patterns and character portraits on each yen are also completely different.
The ten thousand yen note Su Yu chose to replicate is divided into four versions according to its issue date: Series C, Series D, Series E, and Series F.
These four denominations of the ten thousand yen note are still in normal use today.
Of course, the characters and images on each version are also not entirely the same.
Su Yu chose to replicate the latest version, Series F.
The person on it is Eiichi Shibusawa, a great industrialist and entrepreneur from the Meiji and Taisho periods.
He is known as the "Father of Enterprises," "King of Finance," "Pioneer of Modern Economy," and "Father of Modern Industry" in Japan... At the same time, he led and established the First National Bank, and he also participated in founding 500 related enterprises and associations.
The back of the banknote features the Tokyo Station building.
For the current Su Yu, hand-drawing existing patterns is already second nature.
With the help of the system's rewards, he can even draw it with his left hand alone, completing it within two hours.
However, as for the 100,000 yen banknote he wants to innovate, the difficulty has increased significantly.
First, to create a banknote that conforms to the national conditions of Japan, one needs a deep understanding of their culture.
Fortunately, with the help of AI, Su Yu quickly found a person who could be featured on the yen in the hearts of the people of Japan.
But the creation of this character portrait was not so easy to complete.
After all, without a reference image, he could only rely entirely on his own intuition to hand-draw it.
What expression, what action, what demeanor—everything could only be freely interpreted by Su Yu. If he drew it well, then this innovative 100,000 yen banknote would already be one-third successful.
But if he couldn't draw it well, then it would be an outright failure!
