Chapter 638 Gold! Oil! Devaluation!
"I see you're fine these days. Are you planning to go out at the end of the month?" Chen Xueru asked.
“I’m going out at the end of the month to pick up hospital equipment. All hospitals in the city have replaced their equipment with new ones in the past two months.
Next is the whole country, it won’t take too long! Mainly Guangzhou, Shanghai and other big coastal cities! "
"Are there still police officers? I see they patrol in vans and sidecars, not on foot anymore!"
"Transportation tools, walkie-talkies, these are being replaced, and there will be more in the future, which are the equipment they often use!"
"Aren't you going to give them a raise? Military officers get paid a lot!"
“The people in the police station belong to the state, and they were included in the last salary increase.
But there is no army. On behalf of the military, I want to make sure that soldiers have more normal income.
I don’t want to worry about the wages of ordinary people now, because the country has it. Before the Chinese New Year next year, they will raise it by another ten yuan!
"The workers' wages have increased again, which is good news. Will you increase the wages of the military?"
"The allowance will not increase now, but will increase in two or three years! The allowances of soldiers have increased a lot at once, especially for cadres above the regimental level!"
"You have money, so you have the final say!"
"I have calculated everything. I will not let the soldiers suffer too much!"
.......
"Today, Niu Ye and Pian Ye talked to me. They made 120,000 yuan this year. They are out of wine again! Their wine is selling very fast! They made a lot of money!"
"One hundred and twenty thousand is just a small amount of money in Boss Chen's eyes. It seems that Boss Chen's income is not bad!" Cao Dongfang said with a smile.
“My net income that month was over 500,000, which was not bad.
Niu Ye’s liquor is now 70 cents per pound. I heard from Niu Ye that the price of liquor in Sijiu City has generally increased by 10 or 20 cents, and theirs has increased by 10 cents.
This year, we brewed 1 million catties of grain and produced 600,000 catties of wine, but it only cost 200,000 yuan to brew. The more wine you brew, the less money you spend! "
"This is normal. The price of coarse grains is basically one cent. If you can earn 80,000 yuan for one million kilograms of manual work, the winemakers will be very happy! The remaining 20,000 yuan can be considered as other costs!"
"Dongfang, you are awesome! The average price of grain is almost 10 cents! The total labor cost is 78,000 yuan.
The remaining 22,000 is for warehouse tax, purchase of wine barrels, and transportation costs.
The average cost of brewing wine from grain is less than 20 cents! A pound of wine costs less than 35 cents. If you sell it for 70 cents, you can earn 210,000 yuan.
Niu Ye and Pian Er Ye estimated that the price of wine, whether bottled or bulk, will increase!
"Those are two old men, they know the math!"
"Yes, more and more shops are opening in our area!"
"I know, I heard it at the compound!"
“It’s good for everyone to make more money!”
.......
It's good to earn more money, but there are also a few people like Cao Dongfang who complain that they have too much money to spend.
"Dad, can I have some lamb chops with chili?" Yangyang asked.
"Try a little first, and eat less chili, it will irritate your stomach!"
"Wow! It's so spicy, so spicy, I want to drink some water!" Yangyang felt the spiciness!
"Go rinse your mouth, and then drink some juice or water! What else do you want to eat? I'll go grill it!"
"Uncle, uncle, lamb chops!"
"Duoduo, we still have non-spicy lamb chops. If you want some, ask your aunt to share some with you!"
"Dongfang, grill your own food! We have lamb, lamb chops, and vegetarian dishes!"
"That's fine!"
"Duoduo, you like eating lamb and lamb chops, don't you like vegetarian dishes?" Cao Dongfang asked.
"The roasted lamb is delicious, but the vegetarian dishes are not. Duoduo doesn't like them!"
"Duoduo really knows how to eat, just like your uncle, he only eats meat and no vegetables!" Song Xianxian said with a smile.
"Uncle is so awesome! Duoduo is so beautiful!" Duoduo still hasn't forgotten these words.
"Okay, Duoduo is beautiful, eat some meat! You and your uncle are both carnivores!"
"Aunt, what do you mean?" Duoduo didn't understand.
"You only eat meat and no vegetables! You are a carnivore! That's what my uncle said!"
"My uncle is awesome, and so is Duoduo!" Duoduo still doesn't understand what carnivores mean. But that doesn't stop my uncle from being as awesome as I am.
"Dongfang, you eat a lot of roast lamb and lamb chops. There are thirty skewers of lamb and five ribs left. You can eat them all!"
"It's not much, I'll just move around for a while, it doesn't matter how much food I eat!"
“You have a good appetite!”
......
At the end of the month, Cao Dongfang went to several big countries to get money. All the countries were ready.
Cao Dongfang just needs to spend some time and doesn't need to do anything.
The cooperation in recent years has been very good.
Everyone is happy.
A pleasure to work with.
After returning to China, he began distributing medical equipment to three major cities in the south.
The State Council also informed the municipal governments of the three cities that Cao Dongfang would be delivered to their cities.
The city received it! According to the list, these three cities are basically the same as the 49th City Hospital.
There were many "big hospitals" in each city, and there were no small hospitals! It's just that the number of hospital departments was not as many as in later generations.
Cao Dongfang left the medical equipment and left under the incredulous gazes of the mayor and the secretary.
Because of the confidentiality regulations, Cao Dongfang was not worried about them leaking the secret and went straight back to Sijiu City.
.......
"Ma Hua, I'll give you a total of 1260 sets of clothes, 2520 Eagle Sauce Dollars per set. Here are a total of million Eagle Sauce Dollars. Give them to the city government and they will exchange them for million Chinese currency!"
"I can pay off all my first and second term loans in three times, including your 10 million!"
"Three times is the current production volume. Five million sets a year are only used once. Work hard! Young man! In business, shipment volume is very important!"
"Can all the five million sets of Dongfang clothing be sold?" asked Ma Hua.
"Ten million units are no problem now, but in three years, we will probably need fifteen to twenty-five million units! Westerners are rich, so if you don't like their money, don't save face for me!"
"I understand. If you don't make money, you're a bastard! I want to make more money!"
“That’s right. Here are the technical data of nine kinds of fabrics. Please give them to the fabric factory for research.
Next year, your production will be larger, and you will have 30 sets of clothes with different styles, all made of these nine kinds of fabrics!
"Understood. I'll leave it to them! Fabric first, then clothes.
The anti-Japanese bicycle factories also produce finished bicycles, which are now selling very well.
He didn't even need to find anyone, someone would come to the factory and take the bicycles away as soon as they were taken out!
"A bicycle is actually not as good as clothing! You should work hard on making clothing! I'm leaving first!"
"Dongfang, let's get together next month! Fighting the Japanese will make money!"
“You earn more! Call us!”
.......
Cao Dongfang is writing a report at home!
After finishing the report on reducing the number of domestic reservists, Cao Dongfang now wants to write about the issue of gold.
What is important is to get the country to frantically buy up gold in the spot market.
Cao Dongfang also listed the reasons.
First of all, our country’s foreign exchange cannot be spent, but we can access more than 40 billion Eagle Sauce coins from the spot market.
This allows money laundering.
Because within ten years, the price will reach three hundred American dollars an ounce, and now it is only thirty-five American dollars an ounce.
If gold and Eagle Sauce Coin are decoupled, the rise in gold prices will become inevitable. If Eagle Sauce Coin wants to depreciate, it must also be decoupled from gold.
Then depreciate.
This time will not exceed 24 months, and the American economy cannot wait too long.
An eight-fold increase in ten years is good for the country! It also allows our country to have a source of foreign exchange.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
We can entrust others to do spot gold business from the port city or the bank country.
Next is oil, which will also rise sharply. From 26 to , the price of oil rose to US dollars per barrel in ten years, which was a low figure.
Now the price of oil is 2.6 Eagle Sauce coins per barrel, which is another tenfold profit.
It’s just that oil is difficult to store, it’s hard to preserve spot goods, and the timing is hard to control.
But it's also something to consider.
Cao Dongfang has some ideas about oil and gold.
Gold and Eagle Saucecoin are decoupled.
Oil and Eagle Sauce Coin are pegged.
It’s all related to the Eagle Sauce currency.
Cao Dongfang didn't quite understand the relationship between them.
But think about it.
