Chapter 149 Dawn
"Well, the fairy will cooperate!" Looking at this guy who is said to be the minister of the Central Bank, Li Mengze solemnly promised. Since the other party asked the fairy to "cooperative with the government", as the person in charge of the fairy, he has always been a good citizen. It is necessary to meet the other party's requirements without hesitation.
"Mr. Li is deeply understanding, and on behalf of the government, I would like to express my gratitude. Is there any difficulty for the fairy?" The minister of the central bank obviously didn't expect Li Mengze to be so cheerful. They still pay more attention to this legendary character. According to the data, this person used a large amount of money to buy gold before the economic crisis, and now it can be said to be a "rich income". Although it is said that politics and business are united, politics and business are not exactly the same. He has always put interests first for businessmen. Merchants value profits, which determines that their vision is big. Merchants value profits often makes them pay too much attention to the small profits in front of them. If there is no "equivalent" exchange of interests, even things that are beneficial to them may not be accepted happily, so of course they think that this "troublesome" character will not be easily let go. They, what's more, this person is a fool and also knows how big the card in his hand is!
"Yes, of course there is. I'm greedy for money. I wish I could not pay taxes this time. But it's illegal not to pay taxes, and it's also bad for the country. Forget it, it can make the economic situation better as soon as possible and make people live a good life, better than anything else!" Li Mengze said with a wry smile, which is also his heartfelt, "The fairy has always kept her word. As long as the central bank doesn't let this money become a pile of waste paper, the company will cooperate fully!"
"Thank you, thank you very much! The central bank will remember the credit of the fairy!" The minister began to look a little sincere. Li Mengze's geneaness, especially this "one promise", still made him more admired. Anyway, this person did not take the opportunity to make "national disaster money"!
For a private company, it is really rare for a private company to make the People's Bank of China pay so much attention to it. The reason why a fairy can let a minister of the central bank visit his headquarters in person is not because of how big the fairy is. The strength of the fairy is not from today, and no big man has seen any big man to visit them before. It's because of how much money she has. To be precise, it's how much gold she has now. The central bank value the huge amount of gold in the hands of fairies! How much gold is in the fairy's hand? There are a total of 8,000 tons. This is an astronomical figure. Li Mengze made this crazy decision to exchange all the two trillion yuan of profits of the headquarters into gold and store in the bank. This is nothing, but the problem is that international gold has been relatively stable for more than a decade, because of the economic crisis. The influence immediately became a tight commodity. The depreciation of the US dollar, and the currencies of various countries are under heavy pressure of depreciation. Banknotes are no longer safe, and the economic crisis is not even let go of the island countries in the Pacific Ocean, which makes international merchants interested in gold, an ancient currency, because there is no safer symbol of wealth than him. By the end of 1935, the price of gold had risen by 25%, and by a quarter in just five months, which put great pressure on the national finances of various countries and became a worrying problem for the economic sector.
Gold becoming a tight commodity will lead to the collapse of the existing monetary system, which will lead to inflation and rising prices. Unless the government gives up its social image and conducts ** naked political intervention, it will only use economic means to calm down market prices! To achieve this goal, it is necessary to use the gold reserves of various countries. However, before the economic crisis, the gold reserves of various countries around the world were only 53,000 tons, equivalent to only 14 trillion yuan, so it showed the special status of fairies, as high as 8,000 tons of gold reserves, which naturally caused finance. Attention of experts. This is a problem that they don't want to mention but can't avoid. Governments have agreed to take unified action to jointly suppress gold prices and sell gold reserves. However, just around the central bank of China, the world's second largest economy, there are people who have already stored so much gold. It's not 200 million, not 200 billion, but two trillion. You know, China only has a lot of gold reserves, at most 8,600 tons. If the fairy is not dealt with, the efforts of the People's Bank of China will not succeed at all, and even the efforts of the world to calm the price of gold will be completely futile. Therefore, a capable minister of the Central Bank visited the fairy in person!
Li Mengze didn't expect that he had made such a big basket. At the beginning, he was worried about the depreciation of the currency, so he simply transferred all the company's profit funds to gold. He didn't expect to make money, and he didn't expect to attract the attention of others, just to preserve the value. However, by the end of 1935, the world's gold price had risen by 25%, which is a great wealth. If you get rid of it all, you can earn 500 billion yuan, which is enough for the company to spend for several years, but before he takes action, the people of the central bank will come. The central bank did not let him continue to do gold speculation business, but wanted him to throw out some of the gold in his hand to calm down the market price. Of course, the other party also expressed a certain hope. Li Mengze was surprised that the other party asked the fairy not to do "golden watch speculation". Unexpectedly, the fairy became a speculator. You should know that the fairy never did any speculative business, so he couldn't help complaining. But no matter what, he promised to throw out half of the gold in his hand and "contribute to the country". For this reason, at the end of 35, when everyone was losing money, the fairy made at least 200 billion yuan. Many countries took action together, and a large amount of gold was thrown into the market. In just a few days, the price of gold in the world fell rapidly, only 7 percent higher than before the economic crisis. However, as the economic situation in various countries continues to deteriorate, the economic crisis is becoming more and more extensive. In particular, the unemployment of workers continues to increase, and some backlog of social contradictions broke out almost instantly. Many people think of the economic crisis more than 100 years ago. The world war seems to be inevitable, so gold has once again become people's favorite!
The US dollar is no longer enough, nor can the United States. It is still a problem whether it can be beaten or not. It seems that other countries have not grown up yet. Only gold is the most reliable, so people continue to rush to buy gold without hesitation. By May, they have broken through the 10,000 yuan mark per ounce for the first time, rising by 30%. Black The market has even risen to RMB 10,500 per ounce, and the situation is more serious than a few months ago. This time, the fairy was still unambiguous. She followed the agreement and smashed the remaining gold into the market (the revenue increased by 240 billion yuan). A large amount of gold was thrown to the market, which made the market shake violently again. After two rounds of joint selling by governments, the world gold market finally weakened and never rose sharply. . And people also seem to see the determination of governments, such as the United States, Japan, China, the European Union, etc., these world powers have strongly expressed their aspirations for peace and development, which makes people finally feel at peace. The gold market has stabilized, but many people have lost a lot of money for it. Otherwise, where will the fairies earn 440 billion yuan? This is a big number, "enough for a few years"!
It is not only this that the fairy makes money. In the first few months of the economic crisis, the fairy basically had a net loss. The production of the companies is stagnant, and the profit is impossible, and the stall is too big. All expenses are tens of thousands, with an average of 10 billion yuan per month. The basic expenditure is more than that of other companies. How long can the fairy support it? In fact, there is no need to worry. In fact, since September 1935, Fairy Electronics has ushered in a large number of business. The sudden blow caused all kinds of production to stop, whether it is civilian, industrial, or even military, everything stopped; but the government departments quickly calmed down from the chaos, planning one by one, and implementing strategies step by step... For a country, armaments are absolute. For those who can't slack off, especially in this extraordinary period, you can't relax. Whether forced or active, the military production of major countries in the world suddenly increased significantly. Almost immediately after the outbreak of the economic crisis, the military production of various countries immediately increased rapidly, which is an incongible natural response. As an important link in the military production chain, military electronics are naturally indispensable. A large number of military purchase orders flew to Donglin Electronics, China's military's electronic product purchase orders, South America, Brazil and other countries' electronic product purchase orders, Southeast Asia's electronic product purchase orders, and even Russia's electronic product purchase orders entered the management room of Donglin Electronics for the first time. By the end of September 35, Donglin Electronics had received a total of 5 batches of 32 orders, with a contract amount of more than 90 billion yuan, and its growth momentum has increased. In this regard, Donglin Electronics certainly does not refuse. As a military electronics company, her role is to provide customers with the best electronic products, although these products are likely to be used to make killing weapons. Processing and production are carried out in strict accordance with the regulations on the production and export of electronic products stipulated by the state. By mid-October, 12 billion yuan of the first batch of domestic orders had been produced and delivered for use. At the same time, the goods sent to South America have been shipped for shipment. The first batch of contracts totaling 18 billion yuan, according to Lin Yongqi said to someone at the head of the bed, "The profit is more than 55%. Those sent to South America are paid first-hand and first-hand delivery, and half of the domestic ones are paid first." At the end of the year, Donglin Electronics issued three batches of purchase goods totaling 60 billion yuan, with a total of money recovered. 40 billion yuan, the contract payment is 20 billion yuan. In the first five months of the economic crisis, the book profit of Donglin Electronics has reached 28.6 billion yuan and the contract profit has reached 14.3 billion yuan.
It is the only branch of Donglin Electronic Fairy and Xixing that maintains full production, and it is also one of the few large-scale companies in China. Due to the complexity of the international situation, the fairy has adopted the two-way checkout method, so she has maintained a timely profit! The full operation of Donglin Electronics should be the full operation of military enterprises in various countries, and it has also brought greater profits to fairies, which is naturally the rise in the price of gold. Originally, if the situation continues, the number of Fairy Military Electronics companies is bound to increase. The production date of Donglin Electronics has been scheduled for March of the following year. In order to give priority to the supply of domestic demand, the production pressure is great. However, gradually, the world situation has improved significantly, and the military production in various countries has generally slowed down, and even After the delivery of the eighth batch of goods in April 36, Donglin Electronics no longer carried out mass production. This made the people of the world breathe a sigh of relief, and also made Fairy Electronics only make a profit of 77 billion yuan. From then on, although there are still some orders, it is already a drop in the bucket, which can't stop the serious loss of the whole company!
People with insight from all countries are deeply worried about this natural response caused by the economic crisis. If the arms race continues, then the world war will be inevitable, and mankind will suffer the double torture of the economic crisis and war. How can its difficulties be?
By November 35, the military production of the world's major powers has increased significantly. According to statistics, the military production of the United States has increased by a quarter, Japan has increased by 30%, India has increased by 28%, Russia has increased by 26%, Brazil has increased by 20%, and the European Union has also increased by 15%, while China has It has increased rapidly by 45%, the trend of the arms race has been very obvious, and the hostility between individual countries has even seriously deteriorated. This ** reaction between major powers may be for the purpose of defense, but for other countries, it is a prelude to the attack. Due to the suddenness of the economic crisis and the ensuing social disorder, there is still a lack of effective coordination in the world. Even the international media are still shivering in the face of this situation. Of course, it is impossible for a single country to unilaterally stop it. However, after all, war is a last resort, and it will not only bring It will cause serious harm and will also have a serious impact on other countries. As a result, diplomatic envoys from various countries have been dispatched one after another, and the United Nations has also been reused (due to the competition, the coordination role of the United Nations has been greatly weakened over the years), trying to save the people of the world from water and fire! Although the situation faced by countries is different, the basic interests are the same. Seeking common ground while reserving differences, the United Nations has come up with a compromise and invites the central banks (reserve banks) of various countries to come forward to jointly calm the market gold prices as the first step of mutual trust. Most countries are positive about this, so at the end of that year, the international gold market encountered a strong resistance, and the fairies also made a small fortune. However, the United Nations has not eradicated mistrust among countries, and some military production is continuing. Although the momentum has decreased, the world situation is far from easing.
The economic crisis has just occurred, and the situation in some parts of the world has seriously deteriorated. Ethnic conflicts in Africa have arisen, and the Eurasian continent is always the focus area of world politics. Just at the connection of the Eurasian continent, Ukraine, one of the Soviet republics decades ago, has been divided, and the whole country has been divided into two. In just a few days, the Union of Ukraine and the Republic of Ukraine were established respectively. On November 17, the Ukrainian Federation announced its establishment and immediately submitted a request to Russia for membership. The Russian Federation immediately accepted the Ukrainian Federation as a member republic of the Republic of the Russian Federation. Then the Russian Central Government and the Federation of Ukraine held a series of legal, economic, diplomatic, military and other issues. Negotiated. Russia's move immediately attracted a strong reaction from the European Union and some relevant countries, strongly condemning Russia's "interference in the aggression of a sovereign country". The Republic of Ukraine announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Russia, and the army has been mobilized... And this is only part of the contradictions in Eurasia, which makes all countries around the world The government is worried about the changes in the situation in the Far East, which has become the center of the world's attention. Because of its strong economic, political and military strength, it has become a region that cannot be ignored that affects the world pattern.
For Japan, relying on its domestic and the markets of some small countries alone, it is impossible to get rid of the impact of the economic crisis. What the world's largest exporters needs is the world's largest market. If possible, it is the country that is least willing to have an economic crisis; and this market is now Only some populous countries can provide it, and even the United States cannot fully satisfy it. Therefore, she strongly demanded that China open its market and allow its products to enter. However, China itself also has a large population, but its own productivity is huge and limited social needs. The start-up of factories is seriously insufficient, and it is impossible to meet the needs of Japan at the expense of its own enterprises. In addition, because Japan has always adopted a national policy of following the United States to "encircle China", the contradictions between the two countries have been relatively serious, and there are some historical problems that have not been solved, and even some territorial sea disputes. China is naturally unwilling to take advantage of this difficult neighbor. Nowadays, the United States itself is overwhelmed by itself. Japan has many difficulties, which is the best time for China to solve some problems. Naturally, the ZG government, which is not stupid at all, will not let go of this opportunity. Naturally, it is willing to adopt a high-pressure policy against Japan, and some suggestions have even been put on the national agenda. Therefore, in the international context, the contradictions between China and Japan are extremely sharp, and the military production of the two countries has basically not declined, and there is even a trend of gradual strengthening!
For every country, war is a very cruel thing. The delicate human body, three-dimensional architecture, high-quality social civilization... It is vulnerable to modern weapons with great lethality. The high-ranking people are never willing to put themselves in the ordinary people's shoes. The two of the two largest countries in Asia are competing, and the whole world is a headache. Once the East Asian War breaks out, the whole world will be implicated. Some powerful countries are bound to take the opportunity to fire at their opponents, and the whole situation will be irreversible, and even possible. It can cause a war in the whole world! To this end, major countries have sought countermeasures. From the beginning of 1936 to May, the major world powers gathered together five times!
