Chapter 321: The Pit
Seeing that his son had already started eating, Li Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief.
"These... Fifty dollars. Poached eggs cost three pieces and five dollars each, and I asked that many of the eggs eaten by Xiangjiang people were shipped from the mainland. ”
Li Jianguo took a bite of the poached egg and shook his head with some emotion.
As in the past, the father and son will definitely talk about family affairs when they eat, but recently, there is too little time to talk about family affairs, and it has all been changed to national and international events, so that... Very bad!
Li Jianguo turned his head to look at the door, and if it was closed well, his son would know who was outside the door.
"Well, a lot of food here comes from the mainland, and we may have relied on this for foreign exchange in the past. Li Yiming stared at the poached egg, and then took a bite as well, "It shouldn't be so expensive." ”
"Huh?"
"I mean, it won't be so expensive to come from the mainland, how much is a pound for us, and it may be the same price here. ”
"It's terrible!" Comrade Jianguo muttered as he glared at the poached egg.
Li Yiming was still thinking about the exchange rate.
Exchange rate...... External reserves!
Four hundred million, dollars!
It is enough to buy all the cultural relics that can be bought in the country, and all the cultural relics that have been sold before add up to so much money?
There are so many stories of rebirth that mention the Plaza Accord, but none of them mention what China has endured here.
This exchange rate agreement set by the five countries behind closed doors has actually affected the entire world economy, and China now has foreign exchange, and if there is foreign exchange, there will be exchange rate losses, which is certain, unless these foreign exchange are not dollars, is it possible?
All references to foreign exchange reserves at this stage are talking about the US dollar, not about the amount of the US dollar, but not the amount of the dollar, and it is very likely that all international transactions are now settled in US dollars.
In the economic level of this world, China is not the lowest level and not much worse, China exports all kinds of minerals and various cultural relics overseas, sells cabbage prices, and gets dollars, with the result that this time it is less than 400 million, which is equivalent to the sum of all foreign exchange balances in 81 and 82 years.
So in fact, in this Plaza Accord, the United States wants to increase the international competitiveness of domestic products on the one hand, and on the other hand, it wants to play a big role by laying out its own assets, and it is said that it is a resource importer, and the exchange rate has appreciated, so that it has more funds to acquire assets overseas, including China, which is closest to it...... And, of course, Australia, those countries of South America!
It is said that Ben is taking advantage of the situation!
Seeing that his son didn't swallow a mouthful of rice, and his brows were getting tighter and tighter, Li Jianguo asked, "Hurry up, won't you have to make plates later?"
Li Yiming nodded, swallowed his mouth, and ate two more bites of food.
Li Yiming has now completely figured out the background and internal situation of the entire square agreement.
In this feast, it is not Yuben that is eaten as a dish, but a resource-exporting country like China,......
Of course, the Soviet Union, they can't sell weapons all over the place, and now the biggest foreign exchange earnings come from oil, that dollar-denominated thing, and who is the biggest trading partner of the Soviet Union?
Li Yiming didn't know very well, but he knew that the Soviets had been doing business with him all these years.
Toshiba provided the Soviet Union with that high-end machine tool, and there may be hundreds of millions of dollars in transactions hidden underneath.
Soviet Union, China...... Li Yiming's mind was like electricity, and all kinds of information floated through it.
Even if there is really any reborn, at most they will join this dinner and drink some soup, compared to Wall Street, which has invested a lot of money in the market, and the capital itself, which is the largest holder of the Yuan asset, this income is simply not worth mentioning......
It is said that the yuan is rising against the dollar, and the yuan is still falling against the dollar!
Now one dollar is exchanged for two yuan and nine yuan, and next year it can be exchanged for three yuan and five yuan,......
In fact, since the beginning of the reform, the RMB against the US dollar has been depreciating, all because we now have too much demand for the US dollar, and our products have no pricing power...... By next year, the renminbi will more than double its actual value against the yuan!!
Throughout the 80s and 90s, the amount of investment in China was huge, and the trade volume was also extremely huge, and they exchanged the surplus domestic production lines for assets in China, and exchanged industrial products for a large amount of resources.
This is economic aggression!
What should I do?
"Ahem!"
Li Yiming raised his eyes and looked at his father.
"I've thought about it, didn't Charlie Chen say that there is a house to live in? I will live there tomorrow, this restaurant is so strange, they don't have bone broth. Li Jianguo hurriedly took two bites and said vaguely.
In fact, there are many new real estate projects in Tai Po, but Li Yiming has more in his mind, but there is always a gap between the description of the text and the actual appearance.
Since my father said it, he casually continued: "Well, I also want to see the design of that kind of residential area, but I don't have to." ”
He focused on the design of the residential area, not the decoration of the residence, and he had some information in his head, and now it was his turn to see for himself what one of the best real estate projects in Xiangjiang might be like right now.
"Oh?"
"The main reason is that it is too close to Charlie Chen's house, and it is easy to develop nepotism...... Li Yiming said.
"A house is 600,000 yuan, I don't know what it is...... Eat quickly, I'll just say it casually. ”
Li Jianguo sighed very much in his heart, 600,000 Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to more than 200,000 yuan, how can it be affordable in the mainland, where the per capita salary is 1,000 yuan a year.
Nowadays, in the mainland, all units are building houses and subdividing houses, and everyone is queuing up to apply according to their level salary and some other conditions, but that is not your personal house, but the state allocates it to you to live in.
"If the mainland wants to let everyone buy a house according to Xiangjiang, then probably many people will not be able to afford it. Li Jianguo muttered to himself, and touched the suitcase with his toes, which contained gold and should be able to buy a set.
Although he told his son to eat quickly, Li Jianguo himself has not been very comfortable, and he has been awkwardly looking underground from time to time after taking two bites.
"What's wrong?" asked Li Yiming.
"I don't know how, but I always think that there are pens under the table, and I want to pick them up. Li Jianguo smiled bitterly.
Li Yiming looked at his father and blinked: "It may be an obsessive-compulsive disorder." ”
"Obsessive-compulsive disorder, what is it?" Li Jianguo felt a little bad.
"I don't know, it's probably a habit that you can't put it down if you don't do it, for example, you think that if you drop it, you should pick it up, and now you always think about it when you don't pick it up under the table. ”
"Is it a disease?" asked Li Jianguo with some concern.
"Symptoms are manifestations, whether it is a disease depends on the degree of illness, and what is scored, it is called principled in big things, and obsessive-compulsive disorder in small things. ”
Li Yiming lowered his head, as if he could see the two pens on the ground through the table, in fact, he did know the location of the pen, "It doesn't matter, I think it's probably because we are used to picking up things on the ground, which is the spirit of thrift......"
"I see," Li Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, "When you said that blue and white jar that day, I also wanted to rush over immediately, because it was too far to go, and now it's under my feet, so I won't pick it up...... Is this serious?"
Li Yiming was a little funny: "It's nothing, people who really do big things have to be a little obsessive-compulsive, otherwise how can they persevere?"
"It's up to you to say, eat!" Li Jianguo looked at his son and thought to himself that your own obsessive-compulsive disorder seems to be more serious.
Li Yiming lowered his head and took two bites, glanced at his father, and said: "You don't have to worry, everyone has this kind of symptom, and everyone in Xiangjiang takes money so seriously is also a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder." ”
"Oh?" Li Jianguo glanced at him.
"Knowing that they can make money, if they don't, they will all be uncomfortable. Don't look at it as only fifty dollars, but the rate of return is very high, and people in capitalist society know this. The smaller the principal investment, the higher the emphasis on the higher the rate of return. In fact, the change in the exchange rate of the yuan is only 15 percent...... The main thing is to multiply more than two billion ,......," Li Yiming's voice changed from slightly excited to very low.
Fifteen percent, fifteen percent of more than two billion dollars!
Li Jianguo sighed helplessly, when it comes to money, what is more uncomfortable than knowing that the country will lose 400 million US dollars in a few days?
However, if the son can't say a way, then there may really be no way! What if he goes back now?
I saw in the newspaper at the Regent Hotel that the mainland government is about to hold a national party congress, the second time since the founding of the People's Republic of China......
Li Jianguo really knew in his heart that at this point in time, no matter how free the central leaders were, they would not have time to meet a country boy to talk about the future of the motherland.
