Chapter 149: Dawn
"Well, the fairies 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 "cooperate with the government", as the person in charge of the fairy, he has always been a good citizen, and it is necessary to meet the other party's request, and he does not hesitate.
"Mr. Lee understands this righteousness, and on behalf of the Government, I would like to express my gratitude. Is there any difficulty with the fairy? The minister of the central bank obviously didn't expect Li Mengze to be so cheerful, and they still attached more importance to this legendary figure. 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 that he has a "good income". Businessmen are interested in profits, which determines their vision, businessmen are heavy-profit, and often make them pay too much attention to the small profits in front of them, if there is no "equivalent" interest exchange, even if it is beneficial to them, it will not necessarily be happy to accept, so it is natural to think that this "troublesome" character will not let them go easily, not to mention that this person is a fool and knows how big the hole cards in his hand are!
"Yes, of course. I'm a greedy person, so it would be nice if I didn't pay taxes this time. But if you don't pay taxes, it's illegal and it's not good for the country, forget it, you can make the economic situation improve as soon as possible, so that people can have a good life, better than anything! Li Mengze said with a wry smile, this is also what he said in his heart, "Fairies have always been good at talking, as long as the central bank doesn't let this money become a pile of waste paper, the company will fully cooperate!" ”
"Thank you, thank you very much! The central bank will remember the fairy's credit! The minister began to seem a little sincere, Li Mengze's generosity, especially this "promise of a thousand gold", still made him admire, no matter what, this person did not take the opportunity to make a "national disaster"!
For a private company, it is indeed very rare to be able to get the central bank of China to pay so much attention; And the reason why the fairy was able to let a minister of the central bank visit his headquarters in person was not because of how large the fairy was, the strength of the fairy had not been since today, and there were no big people who had come to visit them before. It's because of how much money she has, to be exact, how much gold she has in her hands now, and the central bank values the huge amount of gold in the hands of fairies! How much gold is in the hands of the fairy, a total of 8,000 tons, this is an astronomical amount, Li Mengze made this crazy decision, all the two trillion yuan of profits from the headquarters into gold and stored in the bank, which was originally nothing, but the problem is that international gold, which has been relatively stable for more than ten years, has become a hot commodity immediately because of the impact of the economic crisis. The depreciation of the dollar, the heavy pressure of depreciation of national currencies,* is no longer insured, and the economic crisis has not spared even the island countries in the Pacific, which has made international merchants interested in the ancient currency of gold, because there is no more secure symbol of wealth than him. By the end of '35, the price of gold had risen by 25%, a quarter in just five months, putting enormous pressure on national finances and becoming a matter of concern for the economic sector.
Gold has become a hot commodity, which may lead to the collapse of the existing monetary system, which in turn will lead to inflation and rising prices. To achieve such a purpose, it is necessary to use the gold reserves of various countries, but before the economic crisis, the gold reserves of all countries in the world were only 53,000 tons, equivalent to only 14 trillion yuan, so it showed the special status of the fairy, as high as 8,000 tons of gold reserves, which naturally attracted the attention of financial experts. This is a question they don't want to talk about but can't be avoided, governments have agreed to take concerted action to calm the price of gold and sell off gold reserves, but right next to the central bank of China, the world's second-largest economy, there are people who have already stockpiled so much gold. Not 200 million, not 200 billion, but 2 trillion, you know, how much gold reserves China has, at best only 8,600 tons. If the fairy is not dealt with, the efforts of the central bank of China will not succeed at all, and even the world's efforts to stabilize the price of gold will be completely futile. So, a capable minister of the central bank personally visited the fairy!
Li Mengze didn't expect that he actually poked out such a big basket, he was worried about currency depreciation, so he simply transferred all the company's profits into gold, but he didn't expect to make money, nor did he think to attract the attention of others, just to preserve value. But by the end of 35 years, the world gold price has risen by 25%, which is a lot of wealth, if all of them are taken off, they can earn 500 billion yuan, enough for the company to consume for several years, but before he can make a move, the central bank people came. The central bank did not let him continue to do gold "speculative business", but wanted him to throw out some of the gold in his hand to calm the market price, of course, the other party also expressed a certain hope. Li Mengze was surprised by the other party's request for the fairy not to do "gold watch speculation", but he didn't expect the fairy to become a speculator, you must know that the fairy never does any speculative business, so he couldn't help but complain. But no matter what, he promised to throw away half of the gold in his hand to "contribute to the country", for which at the end of 35, when everyone was losing money, the fairy earned at least 200 billion yuan. A large number of countries struck at the same time, a large amount of gold was thrown into the market, and in just a few days, the world gold price fell rapidly, only 7 percentage points higher than before the economic crisis. However, as the economic situation in various countries continued to deteriorate, the economic crisis became more and more extensive, and in particular, the unemployment of workers continued to increase, and some backlog of social contradictions broke out almost instantly. Many people think of the economic crisis more than 100 years ago, when world war seemed inevitable, so gold once again became people's favorite!
The dollar is no longer good, the United States is not good, whether it can beat or not is still a problem, other countries do not seem to have grown, only gold is the most reliable, so people do not hesitate to continue to rush to buy gold, in May, has broken through the 10,000 yuan per ounce mark for the first time, up 30%, and even rose to 10,500 yuan per ounce on the black market, the situation is more severe than a few months ago. This time the fairy was still unequivocal, complied with the agreement, and smashed the remaining gold to the market (the income increased by 240 billion yuan), and a large amount of gold was thrown to the market, which made the market shake violently again. The United States, Japan, China, the European Union, and other world powers have all strongly expressed their desire for peace and development, which has finally relieved people. The gold market has stabilized, but many people have lost a lot of money for this, otherwise, where did the fairy earn 440 billion yuan, which is a big number, "enough for a few years"!
Fairies make money not only this, in the first few months of the economic crisis, fairies are basically net losses, the production of companies is stagnant, it is impossible to make a profit, and the stall is too big, all expenses are in huge amounts, the average monthly is more than 10 billion, the basic expenditure is more than other companies, how long can the fairy support? There is no need to worry about its practicality, in fact, since September 35, the fairy electronics company has ushered in a lot of business. The sudden blow brought to a halt all production, whether civilian, industrial, or even military; But the government departments quickly calmed down from the chaos, and the plans were formulated one by one, and the strategies were implemented step by step...... As far as a country is concerned, it is absolutely impossible to slack off in its armaments, especially in such an extraordinary period, and it must not relax. Regardless of whether it was forced or on its own initiative, the military production of the world's leading countries suddenly increased dramatically. Almost as soon as the economic crisis broke out, the military production of various countries immediately increased rapidly, which is a natural reaction of invariability, 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 like snowflakes, China's first electronic product purchase order, 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 also entered Donglin Electronics' manager's office 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 continued unabated. 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 murderous weapons. In strict accordance with the national regulations on the production and export of electronic products, processing and production were carried out, and by mid-October, 12 billion yuan in the first batch of domestic orders had been produced and delivered; At the same time, the goods destined for South America have been loaded onto ships and ready for shipment. The first batch of contracts totaling 18 billion yuan, according to Gigi Lin said to someone at the bedside, "the profit is more than 55%, and the money sent to South America is paid with one hand and delivered with one hand, and half of the domestic one is paid first"; At the end of the year, Donglin Electronics issued three batches of * goods totaling 60 billion yuan, with a total of 40 billion yuan of payment and 20 billion yuan of contract payment. In the first five months of the economic crisis, Donglin Electronics' book profit has reached 28.6 billion yuan, and the contract profit has reached 14.3 billion yuan.
Donglin Electronic Fairy and Xixing are the only branches that maintain full production, and it is also one of the few large companies in China that is fully operational. Due to the complexity of the international situation, the fairy adopted the checkout method of both payment and goods, so it maintained a timely profit! The full operation of Donglin Electronics should be the full operation of the leading industrial enterprises, and it has also brought greater profits to the fairy, which is naturally the rise in gold prices. Originally, if the situation continues, the number of fairy military electronics companies is bound to increase, the production date of Donglin Electronics has been arranged to March of the following year, in order to give priority to the supply of domestic demand, the production pressure is very great, but gradually, the world situation has improved significantly, and the military production of various countries has generally slowed down, so that after the eighth batch of goods was sent out in April 36, Donglin Electronics has never carried out large-scale production. This made the people of the world breathe a sigh of relief, and also made Fairy Electronics only earn a profit of 77 billion yuan. Since then, although there are still some orders, it is already a drop in the bucket, and the serious loss of the entire company cannot be stopped!
People of insight in various countries are deeply worried about this natural reaction to the economic crisis: If the arms race continues, then a world war will be inevitable, and mankind will suffer from the double torment of economic crisis and war.
By November 35, the military production of the world's major powers had increased by a large margin, according to statistics, the military production of the United States had increased by a quarter, Japan had reached 30%, India had increased by 28%, Russia had increased by 26%, Brazil had increased by 20%, the European Union had also increased by 15%, and China had rapidly increased by 45%, the trend of the arms race had become very obvious, and the hostility between individual countries had even seriously deteriorated. This sensitive reaction between major powers may be for defensive purposes for their own countries, but for other countries, it is a prelude to an attack. Due to the suddenness of the economic crisis and the consequent social disorder, there is still a lack of effective coordination in the international community, and even the international media are silent in the face of this situation, and of course it is impossible for a single country to unilaterally stop it; But after all, war is a last resort, not only will bring serious harm to the warring parties, but also will have a serious impact on other countries, so the diplomatic envoys of various countries have been dispatched, and the United Nations has been reused (due to the competition among the giants, the coordination role of the United Nations has been greatly weakened over the years), in an effort to save the building and save the people of the world from fire and water! Although the situation faced by countries is different, but the basic interests are the same, seeking common ground while reserving differences, the United Nations has come up with a compromise plan, asking the central banks (reserve banks) of each country to come forward to jointly stabilize the market gold price, as a first step of mutual trust. At this point, most countries were positive, so at the end of the year, the international gold market encountered a strong resistance, and the fairy also made a small fortune. However, the United Nations has not eradicated the state of mistrust between countries, and part of the military industry is still continuing, although the momentum has decreased, but the world situation is far from easing.
The economic crisis has just begun, and the situation in some parts of the world has seriously deteriorated. Ethnic conflicts in Africa have arisen, and the Eurasian continent will always be the focal point of world politics, and at the junction of the Eurasian continent, Ukraine, one of the Soviet republics decades ago, has been divided, the whole country has been divided into two, and in just a few days the Ukrainian Federation and the Ukrainian Republic have been established separately. On November 17, the Ukrainian Federation was declared to be established and immediately submitted a request to Russia for membership, and the Russian Federation immediately accepted the Ukrainian Federation as a union republic of the Russian Federation. Russia's move immediately provoked a strong reaction from the European Union and some relevant countries, which strongly condemned Russia's "aggressive act of interfering in a sovereign state", and the Republic of Ukraine even announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Russia, and the army has been mobilized...... And this is only part of the contradictions in Eurasia, and what worries governments around the world is the change in the situation in the Far East, which has become the center of world attention and has become a region that cannot be ignored due to its strong economic, political and military power.
For Japan, relying solely on its domestic market and the markets of some small countries cannot get rid of the impact of the economic crisis, the world's largest exporter, what it needs is the world market, if possible, it is the country that is most reluctant to have an economic crisis; And this market is now only available in some populous countries, and even the United States cannot fully meet it, so she strongly urges China to open up its market and allow its products to enter. However, China itself is also oversupplied, although the population is large, but its own productivity is huge, social demand is limited, and the factory operation is already seriously insufficient, and it is impossible to meet the needs of Japan at the expense of the interests of its own enterprises. In addition, because Japan has always adopted a national policy of following the United States in "encircling China," the contradictions between the two countries have always been quite serious, and there are some problems left over from history that have not been resolved, and there are even some territorial and maritime disputes. Now that the United States itself is too busy to take care of itself, and Japan is in full difficulty, it is the best opportunity for China to solve certain problems, and the ZG government, which is not stupid at all, will naturally not let go of this opportunity, and is naturally willing to adopt a high-pressure policy against Japan, and some proposals have even been put on the national agenda. Therefore, on the international scale, the contradictions and conflicts between China and Japan are extremely acute, and the military production of the two countries has basically not slowed down, and even has a tendency to gradually intensify!
For every country, war is a very cruel thing, delicate human body, three-dimensional architecture, high-quality social civilization...... It is simply vulnerable to modern weapons with great lethality. Those in high positions have never been willing to put themselves in the shoes of ordinary people, two of the largest powers in Asia are competing, and the whole world will have a headache, once the East Asian war breaks out, the whole world will be implicated, and some powerful countries will inevitably take the opportunity to fire at their opponents, and the whole situation will be irreversible, and may even cause a war in the whole world! To this end, the major powers have sought to respond, and from the beginning of 36 to May, the major world powers have gathered together as many as five times!
