Chapter 223: The Yen Has Risen
Autumn is high and cool, and the harvest season is good.
Shangdong County has once again reaped a bumper harvest of autumn grain this year, but unlike the farmers in the previous two years, who were worried that the grain could not be sold after the harvest, this year's autumn harvest is the real joy of harvest. Relying on grain and oil factories, instant noodle factories, wineries and other enterprises, Shangdong County has already solved the problem of difficulty in selling grain in the county, and even the surplus grain in the county is not enough to consume, plus other districts and counties in the mall have also followed suit, and the price of surplus grain has also risen, and the income of farmers has increased.
In this harvest season, Wu Tian naturally had to go back to his hometown to "help", but Wu Tian's children had never been in the field at all, and only stood at the entrance of the village and looked at the simple harvester in the crop field secretly.
"Xiaotian, what are you looking at?" Wu Jianjun walked up to Wu Tian and asked with a smile.
"Uncle, what are you going to do with this land?" Wu Tian asked.
"Plant sorghum." Wu Jianjun said with a smile, "It turns out that they all grow wheat, and this year I plan to plant sorghum to try." β
"Don't plant it, let's build a factory." Wu Tian said.
"Build a factory, what kind of factory to build?" Wu Jianjun said.
"Distillery, what else do you want to build?" Wu Tian said with a smile.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't allow the expansion of the distillery?" Wu Jianjun asked.
Wu Tian said with a smile: "Uncle, the factory has made a lot of money this year, right?" β
Wu Jianjun said with a smile, and said with a very satisfied smile: "It's okay, haven't you read the accounts in the factory?" β
Speaking of which, since Wu Tian asked the distillery to stop expanding, the profits of the factory have not only not decreased, but have become more and more, with the in-depth excavation of the market. Enhance your brand image. The Great River Distillery made a dime from the original plain bottle. Today, the profit of a bottle of high-end wine is four or five yuan, which has directly increased dozens of times. Of course, this is not to say that the overall profit of Dahe Distillery has also increased dozens of times, after all, it is not only possible to sell high-end wine, but also to match some low-end products, in general, Dahe Distillery's net profit every month has basically remained at three or four hundred thousand, for more than a year. The savings in the factory are already more than four million, if it weren't for Wu Tian's constant pressure, Wu Jianjun and others would have been unable to help but open up the market outside the mall.
"After this year's adjustment, the image of our Dahe Liquor has been upgraded to a higher level, and the accumulation of funds is relatively abundant, and it has the conditions to get out of the way." Wu Tian said, "Now we can consider continuing to expand production capacity, but the operation method needs to change." β
"Well, okay, I've been waiting for you for a long time. You say how to hit the market, let's fight how to fight! Wu Jianjun said.
Wu Tian smiled. Said: "Uncle, in the mall, we started with a low price to hit the market, and next, we have to use a high price to hit the market......"
"Hit the market at a high price?" Wu Jianjun was stunned, this is the opposite of the product promotion model.
"Yes, first of all, we must directly look at the whole province, and directly kill our most expensive Dahe old wine into all the cities, no matter whether you buy it or not, we must first form a product impression in the local area, our Dahe wine is expensive, it is good wine!" Wu Tian said excitedly, "Wait for a few months, before the end of the year, and then push the mid-range wine out, there will be a price contrast in the market. β
"Tsk......" Wu Jianjun thought for a while, pointed at Wu Tian's nose and smiled wordlessly, this kid is too ghostly......
Chinese people, especially Shannan people, love face the most, and they always have to take something good to entertain people during the New Year's Festival. First promote the image of a high-end wine, and then sell mid-range wine, naturally have a face, and there is a benefit, although there may not be much income in the early stage, but wait until the New Year, there will inevitably be a sales climax, and the money will be earned back at once. Driven by product impression and consumption inertia, sales are still guaranteed after the Chinese New Year......
"Also, it's advertising, don't be reluctant to spend money, before the Chinese New Year, at least spend more than one million advertising dollars." Wu Tian said, "How to do it, I'll talk to my second uncle when I go back, anyway, you, the factory director, can't get stuck in the neck of advertising money." β
"Don't worry, advertising money, how can I get stuck?" Wu Jianjun said with a smile, then patted his head and said, "Look, I just talked to you, I forgot to look for your business." Mr. Bai called you just now, and I asked you to call her back......"
Wu Tian followed Wu Jianjun and turned back to the small village building at the head of the village. The original village was just a few big tile houses, and now the village has money, and in the summer of this year, this two-story building was specially rebuilt, and it was painted white and bright and quite magnificent, but when Wu Tian first saw it, he was still very dissatisfied and said that the uncle was too small, and the two-story small building would have to be rebuilt in two years.
Wu Jianjun has a big office on the east end of the second floor of the small building, but the interior is not very well decorated, although it is also good to put a big sofa, but I always feel a little nondescript, very some nouveau riche frame momentum - it is no wonder that Wujia Village has always been a poor village, steep and blessed, and the decoration taste is still a little out of keeping up with the times, let's say that Wu Jianjun himself is still used to wearing an old military uniform.
"Aunt Bai, is there something wrong with me?" Wu Tian grabbed the phone on Wu Jianjun's desk and dialed Bai Jie.
"You kid, I can't find anyone when I look for you for something, and I'm dying." Bai Jie complained on the other end of the phone, "Hey, why don't you tell your father, let Shangdong County hurry up and get the pager up, and it's easier to find you." β
Usually, Wu Tian hides in the "office" in the backyard of Huatian Food, and when he is bored, he will disturb Aunt Bai Jie with a phone call for a while, but sometimes he runs around, and it is not so easy to find him.
Wu Tian, who is accustomed to the era of mobile phones, also hates this problem, but fortunately, the city is already engaged in a pager network, and it is estimated that it will be enabled at the end of this month.
"Well, don't mention it, I told my dad. But that's something that's inside the post and telecommunications system. My dad said it doesn't count. What are you looking for from me? Wu Tian asked.
"I'm fine. It was Bai Gongzi from the capital who called you, saying that there was an urgent matter, and asked you to call him back immediately, you write down the number......" Bai Jie said.
"Tsk, what's wrong with me, I'll call him later, I'm not free today." Wu Tian said lazily.
"Xiaotian, I'm very anxious when I hear Bai Yaping's voice. He also said that his second uncle was also waiting for your call with him. Bai Jie said.
"Oh? Okay, tell me the phone number, I'll get in touch with him later. Wu Tian wrote down the phone number left by Bai Yaping, stood up and said to the uncle, "I was thinking about going to the beverage factory, but I don't have time today, let's talk about it another day." β
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
After bidding farewell to Wu Jianjun, Wu Tian sat in Rada Niwa and returned to the "office" of Huatian Food, but he was not in a hurry to call. Instead, he lay on the sofa and thought about it secretly.
There is no doubt that Bai Yaping is the reason for this call. It's because the yen is starting to appreciate.
It's already early October, the "Plaza Agreement" has been signed for more than half a month, and the appreciation of the yen is not very obvious, but it will rise a little bit every day, and after half a month, it has already made the second uncle's 10 billion yen loan need to be repaid a few more points, and this trend has not stopped at all, plus Wu Tian had already reminded Second Uncle Fang at the beginning, Second Uncle Fang couldn't hold his breath, and obviously grabbed Bai Yaping again, and Bai Gongzi "betrayed" himself again without any surprise.
However, what Wu Tian was thinking at the moment was not Bai Yaping's unbelievable, after all, when Wu Tian told him, he knew that in front of that Second Uncle Fang, this kid would never keep it secret for himself, and there was no feeling of betrayal. What Wu Tian was thinking about was how to talk to them about this on the phone later.
There is no doubt that they called at this time for no more than two purposes: one is to ask us what is the forecast for the next exchange rate and whether the yen will continue to rise, and second, to ask what they should do now if the yen continues to rise......
Although these two questions are very simple, Wu Tian can answer them in one bite, the yen will definitely rise, and it will continue to rise for the next ten years, and the best solution is nothing more than to pay back the little devil's money as soon as possible, although it will lose some, but it will be less than losing three years later.
However, Wu Tian is worried about whether he wants to be a demon, after all, Wu Tian really doesn't know much about that Second Uncle Fang, and according to some rumors on the Internet in later generations, this gentleman is very powerful, and he has done a lot of bullshit things......
After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Tiancai finally grabbed the phone, dialed the number left by Bai Yaping, made a big grin, and shouted: "Hey, third brother, do you have something to do with me?" β
"Xiaotian, it's time to wait for your call!" Bai Yaping shouted, "Well, it's a bit of a matter to find you, the matter of the yen's appreciation, do you know it?" β
"Up? Hehe, I've got to make money now. How much has it risen? Wu Tian shouted in a surprised tone.
"It's not much, more than two hundred and forty to one dollar." Bai Yaping said.
"That's it? There is not much money to be made......" Wu Tian said a little dissatisfied.
Bai Yaping paused for a moment, and then said, "Xiaotian, do you think it will continue to rise?" β
"It's going to go up, it's going to go up, it's going to be where it's going." Wu Tian said, "Third brother, do you want to withdraw the money back?" If you are in a hurry to use the money, I will lend you some money, and if you put the one million in it, you can earn at least two or three hundred thousand yuan after the New Year, and it is a pity to take it out at this time. β
"Tsk......"
Wu Tian heard several smacks on the other end of the phone, and couldn't help but laugh silently.
"Xiaotian, I'm Fang Zhiyuan." Second Uncle Fang's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Oh......" Wu Tian replied in a confused tone, but he smiled secretly in his heart, this old boy finally couldn't help but come forward in person? Don't treat us like little kids?
"Let me ask you, how sure are you that the yen is going to rise so much?" Second Uncle Fang said.
Wu Tian pouted. Asking for advice still doesn't look like asking for advice. Still so embarrassed?
"How sure can I be. It's just that I feel like I can go up so much. Wu Tianji said irresponsibly.
Fang Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Xiaotian, you are Yaping's younger brother, we are all our own people, Yaping has always praised you for being smart, I believe him." Tell me the truth. β
Wu Tian was speechless for a moment, Second Uncle Fang could say this, obviously Bai Yaping really advocated our wickedness. This is tantamount to forcing himself into a corner, if he continues to pretend to be stupid and stunned, then even if he completely offends the prince, even Bai Yaping is offended, and it will be a disaster when facing the scene.
But if he really behaves too wickedly, let this Second Uncle Fang really treat himself as a green onion, I can't say that the connection with us will be closer in the future, with his level of smugness, maybe he will tie us up and do some bullshit together that day, maybe he will pull us into the quagmire.
Big head......
However, there was no time for Wu Tian to hesitate any longer. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Well, second uncle." I'm not really sure, but it's pretty certain that the yen will continue to rise, and there is no chance of it falling in the next few years. β
"Well, why do you think that?" Second Uncle Fang asked, although his words were still a little dragged, his tone was a little softer.
Wu Tian pondered for a while and said: "This is not the first time that the yen has appreciated, in the early seventies, after the Bretton Woods system was destroyed, under the Smithsonian agreement, the yen appreciated by more than ten percent, but the little devil's trade surplus with the rice country is still very large, and the old rice forced the yen to appreciate, and since then the little devil has always become the ATM of the rice countryman, as long as the rice country has no money to spend, it will make an agreement to let the yen appreciate once, and when the little devil has just made a little progress again, he will have to be robbed again...... Last time, I heard Mr. Chen say that some people in the United States Congress preached that the little devils had too much trade surplus with the United States, and the government's fiscal deficit had broken through the historical record, and if they wanted to propose a forced yen appreciation to solve the problem, I thought that the yen would definitely appreciate a lot in the near future......"
Wu Tian's words made Second Uncle Fang dizzy - he couldn't understand many words that came out of this little child's mouth. However, Chinese people are the most superstitious about "professionalism", and the more they don't understand, the more they feel that the other party is professional.
Second Uncle Fang smacked his lips and said, "You, how do you know so much?" β
"Read more books, they are all written in the books." Wu Tian made an old excuse and said in a shuffled manner.
Second Uncle Fang is not an ordinary person, he has also studied in the United States, but obviously, this person is not very interested in reading, at least, he does not know much about and attach importance to this kind of financial history, although he can agree with Wu Tian's words, but he still feels a little unbelievable - whose ten-year-old child would be interested in learning these things? Not to mention the fact that it can be connected to reality.
"Xiaotian, what do you think should I do with my 10 billion yen loan?" Second Uncle Fang asked again, but this time his tone was more modest, and his embarrassed tone was long goneβgeniuses can put some pressure on others.
"Pay it back right away, although I still have to pay a little bit now, but it's not too much." Wu Tian said.
"Hmm......" Second Uncle Fang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Xiaotian, now that the yen is appreciating, will it fall back in three years?" β
"I don't know how to go, I'm not sure about things so far away." Wu Tian said decisively. It's just a little demon, if you really want to predict directly what will happen in three years, it will be too miraculous, and you will really be pulled to slice.
"It's good, I know it." Fang Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief lonely, and said, "Xiaotian, next time you come to the capital, let your third brother take you to play with me." β
"Okay." Wu Tianying said.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Tianyi turned over and lay down on the sofa, let out a long sigh of relief, and finally dealt with this matter, as for how to solve Fang Zhiyuan's 10 billion yen, he didn't worry about it, anyway, for a son of this level, the little money he had lost so far was not too much. The only trouble is that he is afraid that he has invested this money out of the country and will not be able to withdraw it for a while, but they always have a way to borrow it from elsewhere and repay it, even if it is a loss, it is a loss......
Wu Tian's biggest worry now is that after the Chinese New Year, once Fang Zhiyuan finds out that his prediction is accurate, he will really treat himself as a dish at that time, but it will be a trouble. But at this point, we can only take one step at a time, and this result is better than offending these big people right away......
Alas, who told us not to ask for much money, not much power, if Dad can sit in a higher position, if the funds in our hands are enough to make them bigwigs also frightened, we don't have to be afraid of them......
But the problem is that now my father can't be promoted to an official for a while, and he has to stay in the position of secretary for another term, and it would be good to enter the deputy hall before the age of forty. After all, the domestic situation is forbidden, and there are too many restrictions on the development of private assets, even in the name of foreign capital, it is impossible to soar into the sky in this situation, at least until 93 years later, after the environment is completely stabilized, the shackles can be lifted......
Unless you get out of the way!
But the question is how can we, the third-grade primary school students, go abroad? First of all, the first one can't pass Mom's level!
Alas, it seems that this kind of little daughter-in-law who looks ahead and deliberately conceals her ability and strength will have to endure for a few more years......
