Chapter 214: Kim Tai Fook Jewels
Su Yi heard that it was very difficult to buy the design drawings of a large aircraft carrier, so he hesitated for a moment and said to the housekeeper Xiao Wenzhong: "The Tang Empire is designing an aircraft carrier with a displacement of about 30,000 tons with reference to the light aircraft carrier design drawings, so although we should not give up on buying more advanced aircraft carrier design drawings, the time is not so urgent, let us people in those seven countries slowly find relationships, and don't be afraid to spend money." β
Here are the seven countries in the world that have the ability to manufacture aircraft carriers, in addition to the Gothic Kingdom, the Niga Kingdom and the Erlu Kingdom in the first echelon, there are also four kingdoms in the second echelon, the Kingdom of Ender, the Kingdom of Bero, the Kingdom of Peta and the Kingdom of Voto.
The housekeeper Xiao Wenzhong nodded, and then looked at the small notebook in his hand, "Young master, at present, our people have purchased five street shops in prosperous areas in Chiyang City, the capital of Qizhou, the largest area of three thousand square meters, and the smallest one is eight hundred square meters. Master, have you set a time for these five branches to open? β
At present, in Dongchang City, the county capital of Dongchang County, Qizhou, Su Yi has opened four jewelry stores, and in the five counties below Dongchang County, three jewelry stores have been opened each, and the names of these nineteen jewelry stores have been unified by Su Yi as Jin Dafu Jewelry.
Su Yi immediately said: "Wenzhong, you can decide the opening time of the five stores in Chiyang City!" In addition, there are a total of six counties in Qizhou, and strive to expand Jin Da Fook to the other five counties as soon as possible, if the acquisition does not go well, you can buy stores and open new stores like Chiyang City, and then expand to other states after the layout of Jin Da Fook in Qizhou is completed, I hope that in all the state capitals, county capitals and county towns of the Han Kingdom, there can be branches of our Jin Da Fook jewelry. β
Su Yi can be said to be very confident in the task given by the system to occupy the Han Kingdom within five years, but Su Yi is ready to use these five years to make a foundation in the world of the Han Kingdom.
The housekeeper Xiao Wenzhong said: "Young master, don't worry, I have already sent people to the other five counties of Qizhou to inspect the market, within two months, our Jin Dafu should be able to open branches to the other five counties of each county and county, but if you want to open Jin Dafu all over the Han Kingdom, young master, you have to add more people to me, after all, the security personnel of each branch need to be our own people." β
At present, there are only more than 2,000 army-type combat clones summoned by Su Yi to the world of the Great Han Kingdom, and in the system mall, the army-type combat clones that can be purchased have accumulated to more than 42,000 people.
Su Yi immediately said: "Since most of the rebels have now chosen to surrender to the local defense forces, then it shouldn't be possible to link us with the rebels, I will add another 5,000 men to you in a while, but the identity of these 5,000 people will have to be figured out by yourself." β
The housekeeper Xiao Wenzhong said with a smile: "Young master, don't worry, now our Jin Dafu still has some power in the entire territory of Dongchang County, not to mention that the household registration system of the Han Kingdom is not perfect, and the identity problem of five thousand people is easy to solve." β
Su Yi continued: "By the way, you send someone to set up another oil company, a coal company and a grain company, and elect the heads of these three companies, Jin Da Fook, a jewelry company, you'd better also elect a person in charge, we will have a lot of enterprises in the future, you can't manage it alone." β
When the housekeeper Xiao Wenzhong heard this, he hurriedly asked in surprise: "Young master, could it be that you have oil, coal and grain in your hands?" β
Su Yi smiled slightly: "In the future, I will be able to take out one billion barrels of crude oil, 300 million barrels of heavy oil, 300 million barrels of diesel, 300 million barrels of gasoline, one billion tons of anthracite, 30 million tons of rice and 30 million tons of flour every month, which is enough to create three giant enterprises." β
Steward Xiao Wenzhong couldn't help but swallow his saliva, according to the current international crude oil price of about 40 gotecoins per barrel in the world, only one billion barrels of crude oil can be sold for 40 billion gotes per month, which is equivalent to 320 billion Chinese dollars, so in 12 months a year, 3840 billion Chinese dollars can be sold, which has exceeded the gross domestic product of the Han Kingdom in a year.
The housekeeper Xiao Wenzhong said with some excitement: "Young Master, with the things you said, you can even change the economic structure of this world and control the economic lifeblood of the entire world. β
Su Yi said with a smile: "What oil, coal, and grain, I have in my hand, but the problem is that I have to sell all this oil, coal, and grain to exchange it for money, so I have to set up an oil company, a coal company, and a grain company as soon as possible, and the development of these three companies cannot be limited to the territory of the Han Kingdom, and the Han Kingdom alone cannot consume so much oil, coal, and grain in my hands." β
The housekeeper Xiao Wenzhong pondered for a while and said: "Young master, oil, coal and grain are all things related to the national economy and people's livelihood, so it is best for the oil company, coal company and grain company to work steadily and steadily, first open up the situation in the territory of the Han Kingdom, and then seek to develop to other countries, in addition, in order to hide people's eyes, it is best to acquire a few oil fields, a few coal mines and a few large farms." β
Su Yi waved his hand and said: "How to develop the three companies, you plan it yourself, and I am still my hands-off shopkeeper, only responsible for supplying oil, coal and grain." β
The housekeeper Xiao Wenzhong lowered his head and looked at the small notebook in his hand again, "Young master, there is one more thing, Wu Chenggang, the county guard of Dongchang County, sent you an invitation two days ago, inviting you to attend the charity dinner held in the county guard mansion tomorrow night. β
"Charity dinner? Where do you want to donate? When Su Yi heard about the charity dinner, it aroused his curiosity.
"Young Master, the theme of this charity dinner is to raise funds for the officers and soldiers who were disabled in the war, and there is also a small charity auction."
"Then I'll go and join in the fun, you can help me choose two pieces of jewelry, and when the time comes, in the name of our Kim Tai Fook jewelry, they will also be sent to the charity auction for auction."
Just when Su Yi was talking to the housekeeper Xiao Wenzhong, in a study room in the Dongchang City County Shoufu, Wu Chenggang, the county guard of Dongchang County, respectfully said to a young girl: "Your Royal Highness Princess, according to our investigation, Su Yi, the owner of Jin Dafu Jewelry, is about twenty-five years old, suddenly appeared in Dongchang City in May last year, and in just a few months, he has become the largest jeweler in Dongchang County. Su Yi also has a jewelry processing factory covering an area of more than 50,000 square meters. β
The girl in the study is Liu Lingwei, the eldest daughter of Liu Lin, the king of the Han Kingdom, who is equivalent to the eldest princess of the Han Kingdom, and Liu Lingwei is also the second heir to the throne of the Han Kingdom.
The so-called Gold Preparation Department is actually such a department specially established by the Han Kingdom in order to raise gold for compensation to the Gothic Kingdom.
According to the armistice agreement signed between the Han Kingdom and the Gothic Kingdom, the Han Kingdom needs to compensate the Gothic Kingdom a total of 4,000 tons of gold, which will be paid off in 20 years, and the Han Kingdom has to pay an additional 200 tons of gold interest every year, that is to say, the Han Kingdom needs to compensate the Gothic Kingdom with 400 tons of gold every year, and the armistice agreement also states that the Gothic Kingdom only accepts gold and Gothic currency for war reparations, and does not accept any other currencies.
Gothic currency as the world's international currency, the Han Kingdom originally had some reserves, but in order to deal with the invasion of the Gothic Kingdom, the Han Kingdom spent part of the purchase of weapons from other countries, and then in order to pay the indemnity in 1668 and 1669 of the Han calendar, the Gothic currency reserves of the Han Kingdom have been exhausted, and in the war reparations of the Han Dynasty in 1670, the Han Kingdom took out two billion Gothic coins and 360 tons of gold.
You must know that the gold reserves of the Han Kingdom are not much, and they were robbed a lot by the Gothic army during the war, so the Han Kingdom had to find a way to raise gold.
In the international gold market, if you want to buy gold, it is not easy to use Han Yuan, basically you can only use Gothic currency, and the Niga and Eru coins of the two kingdoms of Nica and Erlu can also be used, and the Han Kingdom not to mention Goth, the reserves of Niche and Erlu have long bottomed out, so the Han Kingdom can only find a way to raise gold in China.
On the one hand, the mining volume of various gold mines in China was increased, and on the other hand, gold was purchased in China, which also made the gold price in the Han Kingdom break through to 400 Han yuan per gram in a short period of time, and the task of the Gold Preparation Department was to purchase gold from the private sector in the country of the Han Kingdom.
The eldest princess Liu Lingwei asked Wu Chenggang, the county guard of Dongchang County, in a deep voice: "Wu County Shou, has the origin of that Su Yi been clarified?" β
Wu Chenggang shook his head and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I haven't found any useful clues, and the things that can be found are extremely limited, I only know that Su Yi's ancestral home is Huazhou, and he has industries in many countries in the world. β
The eldest princess Liu Lingwei sighed and said: "Tomorrow the charity dinner, if Su Yi comes, you can arrange it, this princess will meet with him, hoping to buy a batch of gold from him, this year, the task of our gold preparation department has not been settled at all!" β
Wu Chenggang said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, since Su Yineng sold ten tons of gold to the Dahan Industrial and Commercial Bank at once, and another five tons of gold to the Gothic Huitong Bank, and opened so many jewelry stores, presumably he must still have a lot of gold in his hands, and Her Royal Highness the Princess will definitely be able to get a good start!" β
The eldest princess Liu Lingwei said: "I hope that Su Yi can still have more than ten tons of gold in his hands, and the task of raising gold this year will be very arduous." β
Wu Chenggang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Royal Highness Princess, what is the task of the Gold Preparation Department this year?" β
The eldest princess Liu Lingwei said with a wry smile: "The task given by Prime Minister Feng to the Gold Preparation Department this year is two hundred tons of gold. β
Wu Chenggang couldn't help but be stunned: "This ...... This is inevitably too much, if the private purchase of 200 tons of gold this year, it will certainly make the domestic gold price soar again, can't we think of a way in foreign exchange? β
The eldest princess Liu Lingwei said gloomily: "The Gothic Kingdom has almost controlled the foreign trade of our Han Kingdom through a series of agreements, otherwise our Han Kingdom would not have only gotten two billion Gothic coins last year, and the foreign exchange that we can get this year will not be too much, so we can only find ways to raise more gold." β
Wu Chenggang sighed and said: "Although the garrison of the Gothic Kingdom in our Han Kingdom is decreasing, the influence of the Gothic Kingdom on our Han Kingdom is increasing day by day. β
The eldest princess Liu Lingwei shook her head and said: "There is no way, who made our Han Kingdom defeated, and now although the Gothic Kingdom has stopped military aggression, it has increased its economic aggression, not only the banking industry, but many industries in our Han Kingdom have been affected by Gothic enterprises, and the factories that closed down last year were as high as thousands, and many of them are still large factories, alasββ"
Wu Chenggang said helplessly: "We in Dongchang City closed down eight factories last year, including more than 8,000 people in Dongchang Textile Factory, I can't figure out that there will be more factories closed this year, and now when I think about how to settle those unemployed, my head hurts." β
The eldest princess Liu Lingwei gritted her teeth and said: "No matter how difficult it is, our Han Kingdom must also persevere, the Gothic Kingdom has added many things to our Han Kingdom, and our Han Kingdom must double it back in the future!" β
Wu Chenggang smiled bitterly, and did not continue to say to the eldest princess Liu Lingwei, in fact, in Wu Chenggang's heart, he knew very well that according to the comparison of the strength of the Han Kingdom and the Gothic Kingdom, maybe in the next few decades, or even hundreds of years, the Han Kingdom will not have the strength to seek revenge from the Gothic Kingdom.
"By the way, Your Royal Highness Princess, will you personally attend the charity dinner tomorrow night?"
"Since tomorrow night's charity dinner is to raise funds for the disabled officers and soldiers in the war, this princess must participate in it, and I will take out a piece of my own jewelry and put it at the charity auction for auction."
