Chapter 464: Chapter 379: Opening a Bank (Subscription Please!) _1
Staring at the system that bled him dry, Tang Qing, who had grown used to this, calmly said, "Here’s your 500 million. Now, activate it quickly."
Such goddamn extravagance. He’d spent over two billion just today. He wasn’t sure if the remaining two hundred million from Little Two, coupled with what he had left, would be enough for the upcoming expenses. Damn, it seemed like he had to figure out a way to make more money. The money, around three billion in RMB, in the outside world, was not easy to use.
These over two billion were spare cash, leftover from the Pixiu Plan. But the over three billion outside wasn’t. All had specific purposes and couldn’t be used casually. Like in Myanmar, the various accounts of Ling had over a billion RMB, but that was all planned for maintaining the region, paying wages, and settling Wangsa’s invoices. It basically couldn’t be touched.
He was speechless.
Just like last time.
Back to square one as it was during the liberation, although he was richer than last time.
"Host, it takes 500 million RMB to activate the Currency Clearing Center, please confirm." the system prompted.
"Confirm," Tang Qing replied.
"Command confirmed, starting to activate the Main Control System of the Currency Clearing Center, ten, nine, eight... one. Activation complete. Initiating activation of the service area, ten, nine... one. Service area activated. Starting to activate all management robots, ten, nine, eight... one. All management robots activated. The Currency Clearing Center has been fully activated."
The system’s voice kept echoing in his ears.
Tang Qing also began to stroll on the ’street’.
Alongside the system’s monotonous voice, the view in front of him began to change, or rather, light up. The surface of every colossal building started to glow with lights. Eventually, the entire Currency Clearing Center was bathed in light, brilliantly illuminated. It looked bustling, assuming one could ignore the deserted streets.
Now, Tang Qing could see the full view of the buildings.
They were scattered yet orderly, each one unique.
He had to admit-
Their design, the product of the system or its designer, was truly spectacular. The fluid science fiction exterior was as beautiful as art, while the warm hues amid cold colors exuded solemn majesty sublimely.
Tang Qing thought that if he were to replicate one, it would become an iconic attraction of a city.
Hmm, if there was a chance in the future, he could give it a try. Although the replication might be a bit overwhelming, who cares? Money was made to be spent, right?
Just at that moment-
"Commander, the Main Control System of the Currency Clearing Center is at your service." A voice that seemed to come from all directions and slightly different from Little Two echoed. Fortunately, Tang Qing was already used to these inexplicable and mysterious voices.
"You, let me think...I need to give you a name. It can’t be Li Goudan...let’s call you...Gold Coin. How about that?" Tang Qing pondered for a name. This place had to do with money, so Coin or Small Money would be too common. Gold Coin sounded more pleasing to the ear. He had named Little Two and Tang One too casually already; better not to continue this careless naming, lest it becomes undignified.
"Commander, Gold Coin is at your service." Gold Coin responded.
"Alright, tell me about what you can do." Tang Qing didn’t bother asking the system anymore; it was too cold and aloof. Talking to it always left him with a feeling of frustration.
"Yes, commander. The main duty of the Currency Clearing Center is to provide currency clearance, settlement, supervision, circulation, production, recycling, and exchange... for the commander’s bank."
Tang Qing listened to Gold Coin’s introduction carefully.
So, the Currency Clearing Center was a bank’s core, overseeing and administrating the operation of the banks in the outside world, while providing various services for them, such as minting coins. Overall, it was like Sky Eye, mainly providing supervision and services. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
But the more he listened, the more it didn’t seem right. Could he use these things at all? It seemed like he had a bank.
After Gold Coin had finished introducing herself.
Tang Qing couldn’t help but ask: "System, I don’t own a bank. What purpose does this Currency Clearing Center serve?" As far as he could tell, he probably wouldn’t have the wherewithal to enter the banking industry until he reached Level Ten. At present, he was just a fledgling with fierce competitors surrounding him. If he got involved too hastily, everything could turn upside down, which would be quite troublesome. So, he had never considered entering the banking industry at this stage.
"Host, please check your task list." The system didn’t answer directly.
Task list?
Tang Qing closed his eyes doubtfully, entered the System Management Interface, and began to check the task list.
After seeing it-
Tang Qing wasn’t sure whether he should be glad or devastated.
Because the task list had become:
1. Complete this month’s personal loan task for the system-recommended customers. For details, please check the task description. Reward: 40 Experience points. Completion: 1/1.
2. Complete this month’s loan business for a non-system-recommended customer, with an amount not less than 400,000 RMB. Reward: 40 Experience points. Completion: 1/1.

Achievement series task (II): Will be opened after completion of all the above achievement tasks, the bank’s loans do not count towards the individual loan task.
Personal loan tasks didn’t change, but achievement tasks all have transformed.
What’s going on?
Isn’t this a bit too fast?
Tang Qing feels like playing a single-player game.
Some very weird conditions.
"System, do you mean to say this bank should be established in Myanmar?" Tang Qing wasn’t stupid, currency issuance came up, damn it, he wouldn’t dare issue currency anywhere else, isn’t that begging for death? It would definitely get banned in no more than a minute.
Currency represents a country’s credit and sovereignty, which is generally controlled by the country’s central bank. They will never sell such a bank, and the system definitely won’t let him counterfeit money, eh, the system seems to have a previous conviction, Tang Qing is still unclear about the origin of those dollars.
"Host, yes. Due to your development trajectory exceeding predictions, self-owned assets surpassing the limit, and triggering hidden mechanisms, thus, the achievement tasks have undergone significant adjustments." The system admitted without hesitation.
Tang Qing nodded, recalling his experiences during this period; everything could be described as unexpected. He then asked, "System, if I just complete the loan tasks step by step, without laying out plans in Africa and Myanmar, will the task change to acquiring a bank?" It felt itchy not to ask clearly.
"Yes," the system admitted.
Okay, Tang Qing understood. The system also adjusts according to actual situations. Without his Uncle Yi, he might have taken another development path instead of the current situation, directly issuing currency. It is very likely to let him start running a bank.
But this also made Tang Qing a bit worried. Speaking about currency issuance, it sounds cool, fancy and awesome, but thinking about the difficulties involved, Tang Qing didn’t dare to continue thinking.
Well, it is.
It’s a bit difficult.
This is much more difficult than acquiring a bank and managing it well by who knows how many times.
If you want to acquire a bank, system’s task is probably just to absorb deposits, distribute loans and other simple tasks, then find a way to massively merge with other banks, develop step by step, walk down the path to becoming a big banker, and then find a way to involve a kind of currency’s issuance right.
But now.
The original simple mode has turned directly into a complicated mode.
How complex is it?
Apparently, establishing a bank in Myanmar looks pretty straightforward, but there’s a lot more depth to it. Don’t think issuing currency is a smooth path, even with Myanmar, it’s absolutely still a rugged trail. Besides the chasm on the side, walking through ice on a mountain isn’t just a rosy path.
Very simply.
The first thing a currency must have is an issuing foundation, either it’s the national credit or it’s backed up by some valuables like gold or silver, which is the initial routine of the bank. This is the reason why the dollar used to be called ’gold’. It was created with gold as collateral. For every dollar, there’s an equivalent value of gold in the bank available for you to freely exchange.
This is a troublesome issue.
Although the power within the territory is totally controlled by the fighters.
It doesn’t mean that people accept the currency you issue. A currency without a national credit is really hard for people to accept in this era because there’s no guarantee. Especially when your territory is so small, with so few people, and the people’s minds are just getting settled. You want to issue currency with just a few thousand square kilometers of land and a few thousand militants. Eh, do you think people are idiots?
And even if you have resolved the acceptance issue within your territory.
Another problem arises.
That is, how to get other countries to accept it, especially Myanmar. Damn it, you’re minting new currency on my territory. If you don’t drive me crazy, then it’s weird. Plus you can’t simply shut your doors and entertain yourself in your territory, you still need to exchange goods with the outside world, can others accept it?
Otherwise, with just the little stuff in your territory, if you want to issue a currency with a value of three trillion RMB, don’t even think about it.
Both inside and outside are problems, big problems.
Tang Qing massaged his head.
He felt a bit lost.
What should I do?
I was pitted by the system, no, I pitted myself.
