Thunder Cliff, Qin Zhiyuan's study, Qin Zhiyuan is listening to Huang Fugui and Gaspard's financial reports.

Gaspard is responsible for helping Qin Zhiyuan make money, and he now has more than 10 million US dollars in liquid capital in his hands, which is used for various financial investments, so that Qin Zhiyuan's wealth can keep growing.

Although Gaspard was recommended to Qin Zhiyuan by Auerbach, he had passed Gao Hongshi's political review, this is a professional housekeeper with a clean net worth, he used to serve an earl in England, and then the earl's family fell into the middle of the road, and Gaspard had no money in his hand for investment, so he lost his job.

The Earl's family is not Gaspard's fault, but the Earl's own problem, and Gaspard's own financial ability is still trustworthy.

Perhaps knowing that the candidate he recommended would definitely be reviewed, Auerbach did a fair and honest job in this matter, and did not try to smash nails into Qin Zhiyuan's interior, which made Qin Zhiyuan have another good impression of Auerbach.

"The price of gold has been going up for the last two months, and I would have been inclined to invest in gold, but I have found an area that is more worth investing in, and that is securities, and now that Europe is in the midst of a world war, the prices of various securities have continued to fall, and some of the most valuable securities are not even being sought. It is to be expected that the post-war economy in Europe will definitely recover, and if we inhale it at a low price now, we can either control those companies in the future, or resell them, we can make a lot of money. 'Gaspard has an economic eye and what he needs is support.

"If you want to do it, in addition to securities, go buy a few islands, from here to the Far East, about every 2,000 kilometers, on the islands there must be about two kilometers of flat land, and it is better to build a port, this thing must be done as soon as possible, within a month, I will start the construction of an airport on it." Qin Zhiyuan has a plan.

"2,000 kilometers, and an airport will be built, do you want to fly all the way back to the Far East from here? Isn't that too far? Gaspard wasn't sure.

The large transport aircraft in the aircraft design institute is being studied, Long Chengyuan and Pierce are busy sleeping and forgetting to eat, maybe there will be a large transport plane tomorrow, Qin Zhiyuan has to prepare in advance, while everyone has not yet discovered the importance of the aircraft, occupy the territory first and then talk about anything else.

"Not far away, the new transport aircraft in the research institute should be able to fly a distance of 2,000 kilometers at a speed of 250 kilometers per hour, once the design is completed, it may only take a week to travel from us to the Far East, what kind of significance does this have, I don't think you can understand it even if I don't say it." Qin Zhiyuan released part of the news.

"Oh my God, it's unimaginable, I remember that if I want to take a boat, it will take half a year." Gaspard's impression of sailing was 10 years ago.

"Now it doesn't take half a year, the new steamer can run at a speed of 20 knots, and it is only a little more than a month to get from here to the Far East, of course, compared to the airplane, the ship is too slow." Qin Zhiyuan knows that time is the meaning of money.

"Well, I guess it's not difficult, almost all the islands are British, and the British need money now, and if we take the money now, the British should be happy to sell it. However, in this case, it may tie up our funds, and the speed of accumulation may not be as fast as expected. "Gaspard tried to give all the possibilities.

"It's okay, what are we doing to make money? If you make money, you have to spend it, and only when it is liquid can the money you earn be meaningful. "Qin Zhiyuan understands the meaning of finance.

The so-called "finance" literally means liquid money, and money is meaningful only if it participates in circulation, otherwise it is a pile of waste paper, which has no value except to satisfy people's vanity.

Although Gaspard costs money, he will still generate profits. And when it comes to Huang Fugui, it is pure and only not entering, and it is a big hole.

"So far, we have more than 30,000 military personnel, including a large number of high-tech troops, and the consumption per person per month is staggering, just the salary, which requires 10.86 million francs per month, equivalent to about 2.16 million US dollars. Among them, the French government will pay 9.7 million francs, and we need to fill the rest ourselves, and the gap is about 1 million francs per month, equivalent to 200,000 US dollars. Huang Fugui has become numb, and now the daily spending of francs from his hands is astronomical, and Huang Fugui has no impulse to look at the numbers now, as if they are just strings of numbers.

It is said that all the salaries of the Foreign Legion should be paid by the French government, but in the first division, there are a large number of technical arms, and the salaries of these people are much higher than the contract signed with the French government, and this part must be paid by Qin Zhiyuan.

In the contract signed with the French government, all the soldiers of the Foreign Legion were only infantry, ten francs per person per day, planed for food, clothing and flowers, about eight francs a day, so that a soldier almost had more than 200 francs, equivalent to less than 200 in the ocean, if changed to the Republic of China, this is the standard high salary.

"Corsica spent a lot of money last month, nearly 40,000 workers, more than $1.2 million a month on salaries, plus all kinds of building materials, as well as the costs of scientific researchers and school teachers and security personnel, last month's expenditure exceeded $3 million, and the deficit was about $1.3 million." Huang Fugui continued to report.

This money is all for the construction of Corsica, which belongs to the money that has to be spent. Qin Zhiyuan's budget for Huang Fugui is the two million dollars given by Borneo and the Vatican, but this figure is obviously insufficient.

This is also normal, the budget, it is not normal to spend it endlessly, and it is the norm not to spend enough.

"Is there a hematopoietic mechanism on Thunder's side now?" Qin Zhiyuan still pinned his hopes on his own blood supply.

Since the large-scale construction of Thunder City began, Qin Zhiyuan moved the "LLL" company to Thunder City, anyway, he has to pay taxes, so it is better to pay to the Thunder City Government than to pay to the Paris City Government. The profit point of the "LLL" company is now divided into three parts, one is the escort business of the destroyer fleet, the other is the "hunter" clothing under the "LLL" company, and the other is the patent fee belonging to the LLL company.

Perhaps one more project will be added soon, and that is ocean shipping.

Crown Prince William sold those ships that they can't use now to Qin Zhiyuan, which will greatly enhance the ocean transportation capacity in Qin Zhiyuan's hands, now Europe needs all kinds of agricultural products and various raw materials needed for industrial production, and the Far East has empty materials but cannot transfuse blood to Europe because of the lack of transportation power, Qin Zhiyuan will make up for this gap, and his ocean transportation will have broad prospects.

But what he didn't expect was that when Qin Zhiyuan finished talking about the ocean shipping fleet, he was immediately opposed by Gaspard.

"That's right, I'm against it! The ocean-going transport fleet should be the private property of the general, and the profits cannot be used casually for public construction, which does not conform to the laws of economic operation. The government should have a hematopoietic mechanism of the government, and if there is a fiscal deficit, even if the general is willing to subsidize the government, the government should raise money from the general in the form of public debt, and also increase a part of the interest when repaying, rather than arbitrarily subsidizing without restraint. Gaspard was resolute.

"Isn't that still the same thing?" Huang Fugui is troublesome.

Matter?

It's not the same thing!
