Chapter 791 - National Special Fund: Returning the Wealth to the People
"Sister, haven't you seen that when these local tyrants from the Silver Wing Business Alliance burst out at sky-high prices, the others were as uncomfortable, jealous, and incredible as if they had swallowed eggs.
Now that I think about it, what a rich man! ”
Imperial Palace of China, He An told his sister He Ning the story of the bidding meeting, listening to He Ning is not chuckling, in order to prepare for pregnancy, she has rarely even been on the virtual network recently, otherwise I am afraid that I will follow to see the excitement.
Zhang Shusheng also nodded and said: "These people from the Silver Wing Business Alliance are really rich, and the 30 million cosmic coins are simply taken out without blinking an eye, and the direct cash transfer is very refreshing."
not only bought 300 Tianlong battleships, but also snatched 500 main guns in continuous bidding, which is really a local tyrant's style. ”
"Your Majesty, this Silver Wing Business Alliance is so rich, why don't you ask the Silver Moon Empire or the Guluo Federation to buy F-class battleships? Although, in their opinion, our Draco battleship can already be considered a real F-class battleship. ”
He Ning asked curiously.
Zhang Shusheng: "This question actually involves a game between major powers. At present, the Silver Moon and the Guluo Federation adopt an application system for the **F-class battleships to the outside world, and although the authorization price of this kind of authorization transaction is not high, basically maintained at about 10 million universe coins, it is often difficult to obtain approval.
This is not a normal trade price, even if the purchase of F-class battleships between ** civilizations exceeds 10 million cosmic coins, generally between 1000~15 million cosmic coins.
The Silver Wing Business Alliance is a very commercially developed country, with a relatively weak military, and although the conventional fleet is very large, it has not been able to produce F-class battleships, and their strongest warship is the quasi-F-class.
This time, they had a strong interest in the Tianlong warship, not so much because they wanted to purchase a few hundred warships to strengthen their military strength, but rather to buy them back for large-scale research, to learn and comprehend the manufacturing process of advanced warships from actual use, and to improve their own warship manufacturing level from the details.
They had the money to purchase F-class battleships from the Silvermoon Empire and the Guluo Federation, but as a result of their very developed economy, they were suspicious of the two powers, and because of their special influence in commerce, although they were not annexed by the two countries, they were always restricted from providing arms products.
Not to mention the F-class battleships.
The storm of war that has swept across the entire Southwest Star Domain has swept up a monstrous wave, and the Silver Wing Business Alliance cannot avoid it. ”
"I see! Brother-in-law, it is said that the main force of ** civilized warships is actually quasi-F-class, and the elite fleet is F-class battleships, is that true? ”
He An also asked curiously.
"Yes, F-class battleships are expensive to build, especially difficult to manufacture, and in peacetime, quasi-F-class battleships are enough. ** Civilizations do not go to war easily, and there is usually a long period of signs when they start a war, which is enough for them to urgently arm the powerful F-class fleet.
In this way, like Silvermoon and Guluo, they both retain powerful quasi-F-class fleets, which have an absolute military advantage in the face of other low-level civilizations, and once there is a war between ** civilizations, or when they face aggression from higher-level civilizations, they will produce F-class battleships on a large scale regardless of the cost. ”
Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but analyze and explain, it was precisely when he saw this situation that he led the empire to develop and produce the Tianlong battleship and the Shenlong battleship, one is used as a regular use, and it can be sold to foreign countries after weakening, and the other is used as the core warship of the empire, a weapon of war in the future, even in the face of the elite fleet of the ** civilization, it also has a huge advantage.
"In that case, won't these local tyrants not come again in the future?"
He Ning hoped that the more customers like the Silver Wing Business Alliance, the better, the empire and they each took what they needed, and when he heard what Zhang Shusheng said, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"Not necessarily, maybe they find that they can't develop and produce it for the time being, and maybe they will continue to buy it."
Zhang Shusheng thinks that the next two or three bids may not see the shadow of the Silver Wing Business Alliance, and they will continue to purchase only after hitting a wall.
With their financial resources, even with the sky-high price of 30 million cosmic coins, they can easily arm several fleet-sized Celestial Dragon ship groups.
The Orion Alliance euphemistically expressed its hope that it would be able to get more battleships privately, but Zhang Shusheng had no way to do it, since the empire had decided to take the road of bidding and selling, it couldn't give up halfway, could it be that some people would bid for it, and some other countries would purchase Tianlong battleships at low prices?
Such an outcome would only tarnish the business credibility of the Empire.
"The only way to solve the problem is to increase the production of the Celestial Dragon Battleship, once the production comes up, it is unlikely that there will be a sky-high auction of 30 million universe coins, but it will return to normal."
Zhang Shusheng explained.
"Brother-in-law, although our 300 Tianlong battleships are in demand this time, only the Silver Wing people have photographed them, but the 1,000 battleship main guns that my brother-in-law asked to join are auctioned at a sky-high price."
Originally, He An thought that the battleship was the protagonist, but he didn't expect that even the battleship's main gun was very good.
Of the 1,000 main guns used by the Celestial Dragon Battleship, 500 were auctioned off by the Silver Wing Business Alliance, and each of them actually fetched a high price of 5 million cosmic coins.
In other words, the 500 main guns taken away by the Silverwing Man alone reached 2.5 billion cosmic coins.
The entire 1,000 battleship main guns were auctioned for a total of 4 billion cosmic coins, although it was much less than the 9 billion cosmic coins of the Tianlong battleship, but it was already very remarkable.
"Your Majesty, we sold 1,000 main guns, didn't we help them improve the firepower of their battleships?"
He Ning asked strangely.
Zhang Shusheng smiled: "Yes, we still have the saying of spears and shields in ancient times, a country, if the shield of the battleship is not thick enough, but it only has a batch of sharp spears, then, in addition to making each other lose more warships, it is impossible to increase the combat power in essence."
A Draco battleship is equipped with 2 main guns, but the same 1000 main guns are installed on other warships, and it may be able to have a strong firepower at one time, but the overall combat power is far inferior to that of the Draco battleship, which will make each other lose more warships.
In this way, both sides will fall into a vicious cycle, over-pursuing powerful main guns, because they will not be able to buy better ships. ”
"So that's the case, the more main guns they buy, the more warships they transform, the more fierce they fight, the more they lose, and the impact of our ** main guns on us in the future is very low, but they can put a long line to catch big fish."
He Ning understood, this is to give them fishing, and then let them catch all the fish in the river, and come back to buy the fish of the empire.
The main gun of the battleship, although it is indeed the main gun used in the foreign trade version of the Tianlong battleship, the production cost is actually not too high, about 1 million cosmic coins per piece, so that even if it is not bought at a high price like the Silver Wing Alliance, the empire can have several times the profit.
With a profit of several hundred percent, there is nothing that a businessman would not dare to do, let alone an arms transaction, and Zhang Shusheng is naturally willing to sell it.
"Your Majesty, in this case, if one day even if we go to war with them, these main guns will be exhausted long ago. Even if there are some stocks, with spears and no shields, they are not our opponents. ”
He An said with a smile.
Zhang Shusheng: "That's exactly the truth, instead of leaving everything for sale, it's better to sell them targeted and help them fight to the death."
The battleship main gun, which will be one of our fist products next. However, we can't separate the Energy Shield, Battleship Hull Technology, and Energy Engine. ”
The three of them then chatted, and the topic also came to how to spend the money, He An was actually very cautious and would not ask about things that he shouldn't ask, but when He Ning asked, Zhang Shusheng took it as a chatter and said it.
"In addition to most of the warship funds used to offset the cost and build the second battleship factory, as well as to improve the empire's arms production system, 2 billion cosmic coins will also be allocated to improve the people's livelihood and improve the living standards of the empire."
Zhang Shusheng's idea is very simple, the state should benefit the people to a certain extent.
The matter of rich countries and poor people may not be very much at first, but slowly big problems will appear.
When the state's vested interests become larger and larger, even if the state reaps huge profits as a collective, these benefits can never be distributed to the common people, and it is difficult to even turn them into welfare for everyone to enjoy.
Rather than allowing huge wealth to become the enjoyment of the vested interests in the future, it is better to adopt the method of returning the wealth to the people and improve the people's living standards every time they obtain huge benefits.
What can 2 billion Cosmic Coins do?
Zhang Shusheng has not yet asked Zhou Guo to actually calculate them, but through Zhang Bing's calculations, if all the 2 billion universe coins are spent on Chinese, it can effectively improve the standard of living.
Of course, the 2 billion spent is not a simple amount of money for each person, although the cosmic coin is very valuable, but if it is spent like this, the money will be diluted.
"Part of the 2 billion cosmic coins will be used to improve the medical insurance project for critical diseases, and the empire will further improve the medical insurance system in the form of free treatment and free medicine.
In addition, the empire will also introduce a financial subsidy system, and those whose income is below a certain level will receive a substantial financial subsidy on a monthly basis.
In the end, the remaining money will be used for commodity subsidies, and the empire will provide subsidies ranging from 30%~70% to all products that are evaluated as having a technological content of C or above.
The 2 billion cosmic coins may not be enough to sustain these things in the long term, but we will continue to invest in them in the future. ”
In Zhang Shusheng's view, if the 2 billion universe coins are directly distributed to the whole people, it will be a waste, but if the medical insurance can be improved and the serious illness can be treated completely free of charge, it will be very useful.
In addition, the subsistence allowance, in addition to subsidizing the old, weak, sick and disabled, is mainly to effectively subsidize that part of the low-income group, of course, it does not mean that people stay at home and do not go to work, and the empire will also send you money if they are lazy, but if they do not belong to the four categories of the old, weak, sick and disabled, they must participate in the work as the premise in order to obtain income subsidies.
As for the final subsidies for high-tech products, some of them are similar to the household appliances that Zhang Shusheng experienced in his previous life, mainly to solve the current situation that people cannot afford to buy high-tech products, and ordinary high-tech products are also slightly expensive for ordinary people.
For products with a technology content rating of C or above, the lower the rating, the higher the demand for the product, the more imperial subsidies will be, and the value of the cosmic currency will be subsidized, which is the embodiment of doing big things with small money.
You must know that within the empire, the exchange rate ratio between the RMB and the cosmic currency is too conducive to the empire to carry out such subsidies.
"For example, household robots belong to class C technology products, before the subsidy, many families may not buy in order to save money, but once the subsidy is provided, after the price drops by 50% or even up to 70%, most normal families will be able to afford it.
And the company that produces robots, such as Shusheng Company, may only have a deficit of tens of billions of yuan in this area, and we subsidize it with hundreds of millions of cosmic coins, in fact, the producer can still take advantage.
Similar products, in addition to household robots, small light brains for families, medium-sized intelligent brains for families, small family flying cars, personal spaceships at the middle-income level, and even middle-level genetic drugs, etc., will be in the subsidy catalog.
This is actually a huge national special fund, which is specially used to improve and raise people's living standards, and how much profiteering arms are sold, a sum of money is withdrawn in proportion, and the empire can afford it, and the people can enjoy it. ”
Zhang Shusheng estimated an account, the 2 billion cosmic coins spent, although it is absolutely impossible to do it once and for all, but it is very easy to solve the problem of funds for two or three years, and in the next stage, it will become a profiteering arms business, and then take out a part of the subsidy into this national special fund, and there will be a good cycle of returning wealth to the people.
