Chapter 69: Two Words: Perfect!
At Cheng Lei's house, Xiling was chatting with Qinglan with a big belly for more than seven months, and the two of them seemed to be chatting very happily. Cheng Lei has also been very happy recently, because Qinglan is finally pregnant. Qinglan used to be worried and depressed all day long because she was not pregnant, but now that she is finally pregnant, she is like being reborn into a butterfly, and the whole person has become very energetic, and people say that she is a lot more beautiful.
Xi Ling sat on the sofa specially made for them by Cheng Lei, and said while eating the fruit that the maid had just peeled: "Now the stall in our Lion King Base is getting bigger and bigger, Brother Lei is tired all day long, let's just take care of ourselves, we can't let him be distracted to take care of us." Otherwise, our commander's wife would be too incompetent. ”
Qinglan nodded and said, "Yes, you see that Brother Lei is so tired every day that he comes back every day and doesn't even want to speak." I heard that the infrastructure work of the automobile manufacturing plant and power plant at our Lion King base is almost completed. It's really fast, I haven't heard of this kind of construction speed in other places and our Lion King base. ”
Xi Ling said with a smile while eating the fruit: "They are all thinking about the cost or something, of course it is impossible to build it very fast!" Just like the Lion King Base, it was also very slow when it was first built. Later, with the sufficient financial support of the cement plant, it slowly accelerated. If it is put to the current stage of our Lion King Base, which has strong financial resources, I am afraid it will be even faster. ”
No one would have thought that the two of them would chat at home, not to talk about the shortcomings of the parents, but to discuss the major affairs of these lion king bases. It's just that whoever knows Xi Ling's previous identity, after the leader of the Yinta City Guard, is relieved, this is originally a strong woman. And she is a very strong woman, stronger than most men! And Qinglan's identity is of course not simple, the eldest lady of the Tieji tribe is a role that cannot be ignored wherever she is placed. What's more, their current husband is Cheng Lei, so it is even more normal to discuss these things.
Cheng Lei returned home with a contract-like thing in his hand, and his face was full of a rare smile. For him, home is the only harbor where he can completely relax, so after a day of tense heartstrings outside, he will face his family in the most primitive state when he returns home. If he is tired, he is tired, if he is not tired, he is not tired, of course he can't face them with a mask, and he often talks a lot of things to Xiling and Qinglan, about the Lion King base, about the world situation, about the Eastern Battlefield, many, many things.
However, the face that came back today was suddenly so sunny, which made Xiling and Qinglan completely unexpected. And he felt much less tired today than usual, so he seemed to be in good spirits: "Two ladies, I'm back!" Cheng Lei rarely shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door.
Xiling sat on the sofa and didn't get up because of her physical inconvenience, while Qinglan stood up and greeted Cheng Lei, took off Cheng Lei's coat and hung it up, and then took everything in his hand: "Brother Lei, what's the happy thing, so happy today?" ”
Cheng Lei took the contract-like thing and raised it in his hand: "Today we reached an agreement with Yitos again, and we will buy their treasury bonds again at the price of 3.5 million gold victors." This translates to 4,150,000 gold coins in the Kingdom of Yitos, as their gold coins are slightly lighter than those of Jinvic. As a result, we have purchased more than 7 million of the national bonds of the Itos country. At its peak, the government of the Itos State earned only more than 5 million gold coins a year. They are still rebuilding their state and using our money to rebuild their country, so of course we can't afford to lose! Therefore, the interest rate on loans to them is relatively high, but it will slowly come down in the future. ”
Xi Ling and Qing Lan were confused when they heard what he said, and Xi Ling asked, "Brother Lei, are you saying that you took the Lion King Bank's savings from the entire Liedong Federation to rebuild the homes of the Yitos people?" So what if those who made a deposit come to withdraw? ”
Cheng Lei said with a smile: "The deposit interest rate of the lion king yuan is higher than that of gold and silver coins, so the lion king yuan has become a more popular and stronger currency." As long as our money printing machine is there, how many lion kings I can't print? As long as it is controlled within the right level, it is fine! ”
Xi Ling seemed to understand a little: "Brother Lei, you mean, you took the gold and silver coins of those depositors and lent them to the country of Yitos to make profits. Then give the lion king yuan made of paper to those depositors, which ...... It's simply ...... What will happen to those who don't admit it and don't repay it? ”
Cheng Lei's eyes narrowed into a slit: "You want to say that I'm a white wolf with empty gloves, right?" Ha ha...... You don't understand this, this is actually finance, a particularly broad and profound knowledge. You can rest assured, the Itos Kingdom has mortgaged their future government revenues and many of their government buildings and government resources to us. If they don't pay when due, then I have a better way to deal with them. And I hope they can't afford to pay them back, and by that time, my plans will come true, hahaha......"
Xiling and Qinglan looked at each other, not knowing what Cheng Lei's plan was, but Qinglan still said with some worry: "It seems that I have to quickly ask my eldest brother to take away the gold he stored in the Lion King Bank, if he is not allowed to live, how will he live for the rest of his life." He has saved more than ten years of money and invested it in the Lion King Bank, if the Lion King Yuan is worthless by then, what can he do with a handful of useless waste paper in his hand! He doesn't want to compete with my second brother for the position of leader, no matter what my second brother says at that time, he will have the tribe in his hands, and he will have no worries about food and clothing, my eldest brother ...... Alas......"
Cheng Lei was told that his head was full of black lines, and even his own woman didn't believe in himself so much, this feeling of failure was really sour! He waved his hand and said, "Qinglan, don't worry, the more people who have Lion King Yuan in hand now, the richer people will be in the future!" What kind of waste paper? Could it be that Lion King Yuan is waste paper in your heart? Woman's view! ”
Qinglan was a little shaken by what Cheng Lei said: "It's not gold and silver, and you can't eat or drink, isn't it waste paper?" ”
Cheng Lei said: "Nonsense! Didn't I make an announcement before? Lion Dollars can be exchanged for gold and silver coins from the Lion King Bank at any time, and at the regular exchange rate of one silver culan per Lion King Dollar. So many people believe that you are my wife, and you don't believe what I say? ”
Qinglan said cautiously and softly, "Didn't you say that so much gold and silver were used to rebuild the country of Yitos?" How is it possible that there is still money for people to exchange, and what if Etos does not give money at that time? We owe so much debt to others, what should we do? She began to worry about Cheng Lei and the Lion King base again.
Cheng Lei couldn't help but be amused by her: "Lion Bank has a formal agreement with the Itos government, I asked the Itos country to directly find the World Federation as a notarization, if the Itos government does not repay the money by then, then they will inevitably be sold by us all their assets." But if they can't afford to pay it back and continue to be in debt, it's even better, and I have the power to open a bank in the country of Thos, which is already written in the contract. ”
Xi Ling also frowned at this time: "Is it okay if they can't pay back the money?" Can you make a lot of money by opening a bank in the country of Italy? Why are you so interested in this, Brother Lei? ”
A series of three questions showed that Xi Ling was particularly concerned about this matter, and Cheng Lei was of course happy to explain to her: "Of course, the opening of a bank cannot be an ordinary bank, but the opening of their national bank in the name of the Itos government." It's just that the power of the banks is in our hands, and we must be authorized to be the only ones authorized to issue paper money in their countries. At that time, we will use their treasury bonds as collateral to issue paper money in the country, paper money can buy anything, and open the exchange of gold and silver coins with paper money. Another measure is that the deposit interest rate of paper currency is higher than that of gold and silver currency! In this way, paper money will be popular again, and this picture is simply too beautiful for me to imagine. ”
Xi Ling nodded as if she didn't understand: "I understand a little, that is to say, this is the money of capital to make money!" Brother Lei, I really wonder how your brain grows, how can you be so powerful, not only in the military, management, in terms of starting a factory, but also in finance! I admire you so much! ”
Cheng Lei smiled and didn't speak again, but sat on the sofa quite mysteriously and ate the fruit. Xiling and Qinglan knew that Cheng Lei had already said a lot to them today, so they didn't talk much anymore. Xiling also sat next to Cheng Lei, Qinglan was massaging Cheng Lei, and Cheng Lei closed his eyes comfortably and enjoyed it.
During the day, Qi Mi also asked Cheng Lei similar questions. Because the current Lion King Bank has been fully managed by Qi Milai, Cheng Lei is just making a decision on major matters. Qi Mi felt particularly incredible after seeing that Cheng Lei had given another loan of 3.5 million Jinwei to the country of Yitos, and he couldn't understand why Cheng Lei lent money to others and borrowed so happily. Cheng Lei told him a very simple sentence at that time, that is, what he values is not the current Itos, but the income of the Itos country after the successful reconstruction.
At that time, the country of Itos will really become the cash cow of the Lion King Bank, and the Lion King base will become the invisible ruler of the country of Itos. Because after controlling the currency and finance of a country, it is much more powerful than controlling the country's army! Cheng Lei's awesomeness is here, he can learn and apply it, he knows very well that the current world financial industry is particularly fragile, so he starts from the financial industry and the banking industry, so that everyone looks up to the Lion King Base and the Lion King Army!
Qi Mi traveled with Cheng Lei, of course, he knew something about the government banks in the West in the previous world, and knew that their banks operated in the situation that Cheng Lei said. Cheng Lei also told him that if the war between the Itos and the Balonos was won by the Itos, then he would lend money to the Balonous. If the Balonos were not now a threat to Silver Tower City and the Lion King's base, he would have lent them to the Baronons.
Now lending money to Yitos is not because of Cheng Lei's own likes and dislikes, but because everyone takes what they need. Qi Mi particularly admires Cheng Lei's seemingly ordinary whimsy, he is also a traverser, but he is not so active, and he will even be bound by many things in this world, which is what he is particularly dissatisfied with himself. After seeing what Cheng Lei did, Qi Mi decided that he couldn't be silent anymore in the future, otherwise he would be far, far behind his most beloved captain.
In fact, Qi Mi came to Cheng Lei today for two reasons, one was to ask about the bank's loan to the country of Yitos. Of course, this matter has passed, and he has been completely convinced by Cheng Lei's theory and practical facts. Qi Mi also has another thing, that is, he brought a gun, which is a rifle, but there are some mysteries. Cheng Lei was fascinated by this rifle when he saw it for the first time, which ...... This is actually a ...... Automatic rifles!
Cheng Lei, who has been playing with guns for so many years, can see at a glance that this is an automatic rifle, because the parts on it are all made according to the specifications of the AK-47, the most popular automatic rifle in the world in the past. The AK47 was the most famous and popular automatic rifle in the world, and it was an absolutely good gun. Its advantages are numerous:
1. Simple structure: A most ordinary high school student can complete the disassembly and installation of AK after training. At the same time, due to the simple structure, it is easier to produce and even copycats.
2. Reliable performance: Incredibly, AK is very simple in structure, but whether it is hot or cold, in a river or a desert, in ice and snow or tropical jungle, AK can work almost without obstacles, even if the metal is heated and expanded due to continuous shooting or there are foreign objects, especially dust, into the gun, AK is rarely stuck. This is almost also the recognized advantage of AK, considering that most of the wars take place in harsh natural conditions, this advantage of AK is extremely prominent.
A related story is that during the Vietnam War, Vietnamese guerrillas had a tactic of throwing AKs into paddy fields while farming, and then taking AKs out of paddy fields when small patrols of U.S. troops passed by. Another story tells of a British general inspecting troops during the Gulf War and telling his men: "When your weapon fails, the first step in standard handling is to pick up the captured AK and continue fighting." ”
3. Strong universality: AK can fire many other bullets with a slight improvement. In addition, when the AK is equipped with a scope, its shooting accuracy will be greatly improved, and the potential is simply limitless. As for accuracy, it is true that it is not the strong point of the AK, and it is difficult to say how much it can be improved by attaching the scope, but in places where the AK is widely used, there is no need to aim, and just firing stray bullets can hit the enemy hard.
All of this was the ultimate reason why Qi Mi had made their Lion King's first automatic rifle identical to the AK-47 they had in their previous world. This gun is even better than the AK-47 in terms of performance and other aspects, which is because Qi Mi has transferred the advantages of other automatic rifles from memory. Now that this gun is in Cheng Lei's hand, according to Cheng Lei, in terms of the scientific and technological level and military level in the current world, this gun is simply two words: perfect!
