[409] If you count it carefully, it is not enough to spend

"How can there be such a haode thing, how can the money be enough to spend?" The chairman dismissed the idea that Xiaoqiang's loan could not be spent.

The chairman bent the fingers of his left hand and calculated the account for Xiaoqiang: "In order to stabilize the value of the ruble, the Soviet Union has completed the reform of the ruble, stipulating that one ruble contains 0.2221 grams of gold, and the exchange rate against the US dollar is one dollar to 4 rubles. But in order to earn foreign exchange, the non-trade foreign exchange rate is discounted by 150% of the official exchange rate, that is, 10 rubles per dollar.

At present, the total number of students we have sent to the Soviet Union, East Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland and other countries has reached more than 4,000! Moscow State University, Moscow Power Institute, Moscow Petroleum Institute, Moscow Iron and Steel Institute, Moscow Institute of Geology, Moscow Aviation Institute, Moscow Mining Institute, Moscow Institute of Nonferrous Metals, Moscow Gold Institute, Leningrad University, Leningrad Kalinin Polytechnic Institute, Leningrad Electrical Institute, Ural Polytechnic Institute and other hundreds of higher education institutions have sent our students! The institutes of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR also accepted our first batch of graduate students, and hundreds of factories such as the Stalin Automobile Factory in Moscow, the Khaikov Tractor Plant, and the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Complex also accepted interns sent by us, and Soviet experts taught them hands-on.

In total, it is expected that more than 30,000 people will be sent in five years, and the budget given by the Ministry of Education is an average of 9,642 rubles per person per year for tuition and living expenses, so that we will spend 1.2 billion rubles on students studying in the Soviet Union in five years.

Fortunately, this is calculated as a payment in non-trade foreign exchange, that is, a loan discounted in US dollars, which is about 120 million US dollars.

As for us to help the Soviet Union purchase rubber, the Soviet Union needed to pay with US dollars in foreign exchange, and it was real to earn more than 20 million US dollars, and there was still a tuition gap of 100 million US dollars!

In the previous loan agreement we signed from the Soviet Union, Zuihou was set at 100 million rubles, which is the official price of 400 million rubles. We bought 600 second-hand Li-2 transport aircraft for 30 million US dollars, or 120 million rubles, and the total order for aviation kerosene, gasoline and diesel reached 20 million US dollars. There were also $12 million worth of graphite piles provided by the Soviet Union at cost price, and another $30 million worth of diamonds were purchased. As a result, only $8 million in loans remained. A $100 million loan with an annual interest rate of 3% will cost 3 million yuan in interest every year! The Soviet Union has already deducted the 8 million, and we can't afford to pay the interest. ”

Xiaoqiang said with a smile: "Send 30,000 people to pay for tuition in five years, this is an installment payment thing, your old man is now counting all his brains, this is too anxious, but your idea is also a matter of course, don't panic when you have food in your hand, hehe." ”

The chairman smiled: "That's what I mean, the matter of making money must be done quickly."

We agreed with the GDR that the first 1,300 students studying in the GDR would be provided with a food ration of about 3.84 tonnes of rice per year.

At present, the price of rice in the domestic market is 320 yuan per ton, and the purchase price is 160 yuan per ton, which is equivalent to the cost of about 60 US dollars. The purchase cost of 12,500 tons of rice, which we used to provide for East Germany for two and a half years, has reached $750,000.

Although this is not a lot of money, there is a shortage of food on the international market, and the actual price of grain is more than $120 per ton of rice. Moreover, grain is a strategic material, after World War II, food was very tight in all countries, and the United States also strictly controlled exports, and it was impossible for East Germany to buy it in large quantities.

In my opinion, it is better to discuss with the Soviet Union, and then we will repay part of the loan with agricultural products. ”

Xiaoqiang hurriedly shook his head and said to the chairman: "Chairman, my country's population is increasing rapidly, and there is always not enough food to eat, so it is better not to export grain." The situation in East Germany is very special, and our precedent is a special case, otherwise we would all come to buy food, what will happen to our country's own living standards?

In World War II, even the United States started a rationing system, which shows that as long as there is a war, any country will inevitably have a shortage of food. The Soviet Union abolished rationing after World War II, and that was because China was supporting him with a steady stream of agricultural products in exchange for his industrial products. Historically, it was not until the eighties that our rationing system was gradually abolished one by one.

Chairman, this time, we don't have to tighten our belts and exchange agricultural products for industrial products. ”

Seeing that Xiaoqiang did not agree with the proposal to repay the loan for agricultural products, the chairman smiled and said: "Then you have to speed up the speed of making money." ”

Xiaoqiang said with a bitter face: "Chairman, you are making trouble, the prime minister has said that he has earned a lot of money in medicine and cloth before, in addition to the US dollars exchanged for gold, there are 57 million US dollars in his hands, and this time the rubber can earn more than 20 million US dollars from the Soviet Union, which is 80 million US dollars."

The previous export of tubes to the Soviet Union received rave reviews, and the total orders of the Soviet Union for various types of tubes have reached as much as 500,000, which is 15 million US dollars according to an average of 30 US dollars each. Chairman, in this way, we have been able to pay off the loan early. ”

The chairman smiled and said, "For you, the God of Wealth, I can only make trouble unreasonably." You've also said that it would take $4 billion to build an atomic bomb, but that's still a long way off. ”

After that, he said solemnly: "We helped the Soviet Union with the intelligence of the hydrogen bomb before, and the Soviet Union has realized that our intelligence is not exchanged, and it is very grateful for our help." At present, Comrade Stalin's attitude is very vague, he did not say anything to us, nor did he say no, but only told Ambassador Wang Jiaxiang to come step by step, first build the graphite pile, and then talk about it, and at the same time he promised to consider helping us build a uranium enrichment plant by the proliferation method, but when and at what price, he did not make it clear, and the implication was that he still did not fully trust us. It seems that we are in a hurry about this, but he is not in a hurry at all. ”

Xiao Qiang pondered for a while, and analyzed: "Stalin is actually a very pragmatic person, and he doesn't scatter eagles when he doesn't see rabbits. I want him to nod and agree, unless he trusts us absolutely, but even then, the money will inevitably be spent. ”

The chairman followed Xiaoqiang's words and suggested: "So I think that at present, on the one hand, we should first establish a relevant scientific research team and do solid theoretical work; On the other hand, if you can get some information from 2011, walking on two legs is better than one. ”

Xiaoqiang was dumbfounded, it turned out that the chairman was more anxious about the atomic bomb than himself.

It is no wonder that in the documentary videos brought by Xiaoqiang that the chairman has watched recently, the word nuclear weapons always jumps out, which is very eye-catching, so that the chairman can never let go.
