Although the gangsters who had been enlightened by Jiang Fei had made a lot of money in the past two days, they were just small gangsters after all. Moreover, the method they used was not top-secret. Very soon, bigger gangster organizations took over from them. These people had more money and were more powerful.
After they defeated the gangsters who were awakened by Jiang Fei, they occupied a position in front of the bank. What happened next was the same as before. These gangsters entered the bank and exchanged Moon Crystals. Then, they used the money to extort money from the commoners.
Although the commoners knew that they were being robbed, they could not enter the bank. If they did not exchange the money in their hands with these gangsters, it would be useless. This was because most merchants no longer accepted money.
Therefore, the commoners at the bottom had no choice at all. They could only give more than half of their assets to these gangsters and exchange them for a small amount of Moon Crystals.
The gangsters became greedier and greedier. In the beginning, they still maintained the exchange rate and bought back the money at a rate of two thousand to one. However, as time went by, they became greedy and even offered two thousand five hundred, three thousand, and even four thousand to one. This was no longer extortion. This was robbery!
Colonel Keno had also sent the military police to deal with this. However, it was to no avail. As soon as the military police arrived, the gangsters swarmed them. The gangsters blended into the crowd and could not identify who was who. The commoners wanted to report the gangsters, but they were afraid of retaliation. Therefore, they could only pinch their noses and admit defeat.
The military and police were also ordinary people after work. They and their families were also afraid of the revenge of these gangsters, so when they were encircling and suppressing them, no one dared to go too far. In addition, the leader of these gangsters was very good at playing. Although he had obtained a lot of benefits through the financial crisis, he did not swallow it alone. He bribed everyone from Colonel Keno to ordinary military and police. In this way, no one would care about these gangsters.
When society was in turmoil, the darkness was absolutely unimaginable to ordinary people. Only when they experienced it personally would they understand the cruelty of it.
In this financial crisis, the rich were hit hard, but they only lost their property. However, the poor were miserable. Once upon a time, the ignorant poor were looking forward to the financial crisis. They thought that the rich's money would be worthless, and they didn't have any money in their hands, so their losses were negligible.
But when the financial crisis came, these ignorant poor people found that they were too naive. The rich did lose more than two-thirds of their wealth, but at least they could still fill their stomachs. The poor, on the other hand, quickly ran out of money. Then they found that if they wanted to eat, they could only rely on selling the few assets they had.
But because of the rapid depreciation of the currency, the difficulty and cost of transactions had increased sharply. When you buy something, everything is expensive, but when you sell it, you find that everything in your hands is worthless!
Under this kind of impact, in order to eat and to survive, the poor quickly sold all their belongings. In the end, they could only sell their children.
When the financial crisis reached this point, the entire society was in turmoil. The people could accept being poor, but they could not accept starvation. If the government could not solve this problem, they would have to think of a solution themselves.
As for the poor who had no resources in their hands, they could only think of one way in order to make a living — robbery!
For a time, the number of pedestrians on the streets suddenly decreased. Shops closed one after another, and the doors were locked. The warehouses were welded shut to prevent people from stealing or robbing.
Under such circumstances, everyone was anxious. No one knew what would happen in the next moment. It could be a riot, or it could be the end of the world!
"Damn it! How did a robbery end up like this?! "The consul frowned. Jiang Fei, who was beside him, was also thinking.
However, the problem Jiang Fei was thinking about was not how to pacify the people. Instead, he was thinking about how to obtain enough benefits for himself in this turmoil.
Although Jiang Fei had been with the consul for a while, he had not heard any news about the Snow Beasts. This made him a little anxious. It was impossible for him to stay here permanently. If he needed three to five years to gain enough trust, Jiang Fei really could not afford to wait.
"Do I need to do something?" Jiang Fei thought to himself.
"Ralph, what do you think of the current situation?" Coincidentally, at this time, the consul casually asked Jiang Fei. In fact, he did not expect Jiang Fei to come up with any good suggestions. He only asked this question casually when he was anxious.
After all, in the consul's eyes, Jiang Fei was just a country bumpkin from the slums. Although he could be trusted, he could only be a bodyguard. When it came to administrative matters, the consul did not expect Jiang Fei at all.
However, now that the consul's subordinates were at their wit's end, he had no choice but to ask this question.
"Sir, actually, I have an idea!" Jiang Fei said after thinking for a while.
After thinking about it just now, Jiang Fei finally decided to use this turmoil to make himself a confidant of the consul. He wanted to show off his talents so that the consul would put him in an important position. Only then would he be able to get in touch with the top secrets, instead of being a bodyguard like he was now. The most he could get in touch with was a few mistresses of the consul.
"Oh? You have an idea? Tell me about it … "The consul did not care. He did not believe that a country bumpkin like Jiang Fei could solve this dilemma.
"Sir, since the current currency has collapsed, why don't you abolish it?" Jiang Fei said casually.
"Abolish it? That's terrible! Right now, the world is already in chaos just by devaluing it. If we abolish it, won't the people revolt? " When the consul heard this, his mouth twitched. Although he trusted Jiang Fei, he did not think that Jiang Fei had the ability in administrative matters, especially in the financial field. This was a very professional field.
"Right now, it's almost as good as useless. Almost no one accepts it anymore. Moreover, more than half of the Moon Crystals in the bank have been exchanged. If this continues, it won't be long before the bank goes bankrupt, and the currency will become invalid," Jiang Fei said.
"Yes, that's why I'm so anxious!" The consul said.
"So, I suggest that you abolish it directly and issue a new currency. Then, you can use the new currency to exchange for the old one. The new currency will not be linked to the Moon Crystals. This way, the bank will not have to worry about not being able to exchange," Jiang Fei said.
