Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 444 Copying the Novel

At dawn the next morning, Weidong leaned on the bed with one arm in his arms and listened to Virginia talking about his company. Although he had read the briefing, it was better to listen to Virginia, the person involved, report in person.

Baofeng home appliance chain has been in business for a while, and the initial operation is normal, but the profit is not much.

Wei Dongdao: "It doesn't matter if we earn more or less. If we have our own home appliance channels and stores in Beautiful State, then we can sell our washing machines, radios, refrigerators, color TVs and other electrical appliances as soon as possible after the Chinese New Year."

The majority of home appliance sales are in North America. Weidong intends to produce, and control the channels and sales in its own hands, so as to compete with Neon’s home appliance companies. Neon made its fortune by relying on small appliances and white goods in the 80s and [-]s. Weidong wants to compete with Sony, Hitachi, Toshiba and other companies in this respect, so that they can't make money too easily.

Virginia simply recounted the agency job of recruiting electronic calculators. It was nothing more than signing an agency with a company in several states. Many companies had never heard of the name.

Mi Xiaozhou was a little bored lying beside him, drawing circles on Weidong's bare chest with his small hands, and then began to be dishonest.

After the absurdity of the morning, more than an hour has passed, and Virginia continued to report. Mi Xiaozhou brought a fruit platter, fed Weidong a few bites of apples with a toothpick, and asked: "Boss, you haven't said that the newspaper serialized How do we do this?"

"Didn't you say it?" Wei Dong asked back.

Mi Xiaozhou was in a hurry. The boss promised that the newspaper office would have its own shares, and it would be his own small treasury in the future. Right now, the newspaper office is more important than anything else. On the contrary, the boss, the major shareholder, looks calm and not in a hurry .

Shaking Weidong's arm, he said coquettishly, "Why is the boss starting to be a rascal? He listened to you for everything yesterday, and even waited on you in the morning. You can't be so unreasonable."

Wei Dong smiled and said, "Isn't it just a novel? I'll just write one for you later."

"Can you write a novel?"

Mi Xiaozhou wanted to break his head, but he couldn't think that the boss would give such an answer, even a high salary for a few martial arts writers would be more reliable than this!
The most successful martial arts writers now are Jin Yong, Gu Long and Liang Yusheng, as well as Sima Ling, Gong Baiyu, Shi Yukun, Zhao Huanting, Wo Longsheng, Zhuge Qingyun and others. I have collected information on these people before, but I don’t know how to find them. Who is better? Because of the trust in the boss, I left it to the boss to decide. I didn't expect such an unreliable answer.

Qi said: "Boss, I'm talking about business with you. Why are you talking nonsense that you want to write it yourself? I think it's better to ask other martial arts authors. You can't say it's your own anymore. It's better to use the name of the Qiuyu Group to discuss it." .”

Before inviting Mr. Gu Long, it was because he did not use the name of the Autumn Rain Group and was considered a tabloid newspaper, so he was rejected by Gu Long. Now he will not make such a mistake again.

Wei Dong pinched Mi Xiaozhou's nose. He believed at all that he could write good-looking martial arts novels, but of course he couldn't. Mi Xiaozhou was right about that.

But I am a man who is cheating, and there are too many novels stored in the hard disk. Not only are the online novels of later generations preserved, but even Liang Wenhuang, the representative works of the five famous masters, also have txt files. Just take out a random one and serialize it That's it.

"You little girl, what would you say if I could write an excellent martial arts novel?"

Mi Xiaozhou said angrily, "Are you kidding me? Are novels so easy to write? Many people can only write four thousand words in a few hours a day. How are you better than them?"

After all, he is his own boss, so he didn't say anything harsh, but the boss has never written any articles, and writing an 800-word composition is difficult, so he can still write a novel?

Wei Dong asked again: "Then what if I write well?"

Mi Xiaozhou said straightly: "You can do whatever you want, everyone is yours, I see what tricks you have!"

Wei Dong smiled and said, "Then let's talk about it, and you are not allowed to play tricks when the time comes."

Mi Xiaozhou also figured out Weidong's purpose, at most it was a shameful game, a bit embarrassing and no one else could see it, he just endured it and passed, besides, he might not be able to lose.

"I won't deny it!"

Virginia is also a little confused, her boss can still write martial arts novels?
Regardless of Virginia's presence, Mi Xiaozhou squeezed into Weidong's arms, put his arms around his neck and smiled and asked, "Boss, hurry up and write while you have nothing to do!"

Wei Dong smiled and said, "Let me think about what to write."

Mi Xiaozhou secretly sighed. Sometimes the boss is unreliable. He has never written a novel and even forcibly writes it. It is better to wait for the day to find those writers and ask for a draft.

Wei Dong was distracted thinking about which one is better to write. Online novels are all time-traveled, and unconstrained imagination is not suitable for readers of this era, so he decided to find a copy from one of the five great masters.

The three of Jingu Liang have been famous for many years, and it is better to find them from the works of Wen Runan and Huang Yi. As long as they write a representative book, they will naturally find famous authors to serialize when the newspapers gain a firm foothold and sales increase.

"I'm going to the toilet."

Weidong left the two girls behind and went into the bathroom. After closing the door, he took out his notebook from the space and rummaged through it for a while, and soon found the TXT file of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".

Think about it, is it too long to copy so many words by yourself?It is better to change to the lesser "Looking for the Qin Dynasty". Although this book is not as famous as "The Legend of Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty" and "Overturning the Rain and Overturning Clouds", it is the originator of time-travel novels, creating a precedent for time-traveling from modern times to ancient times. It's just right for me, a time traveler, to write, but unfortunately I don't have a printer in my space, so I can only write by hand.

Using the tablet to open the file, Weidong came out of the bathroom and said, "I'll go to the study to write a novel for you, and let you see that your man can also write martial arts novels."

Mi Xiaozhou still didn't believe it: "You really want to write?"

"Of course, get ready."

Mi Xiaozhou followed into the study, and took out a stack of manuscript paper. Weidong picked up a pen and wrote the three big characters "Xun Qin Ji", and after thinking about it, he dropped the pen and said, "I want you to write."

With the free labor of Mi Xiaozhou, Weidong has no reason to write it himself. He ordered Virginia to move the recliner. Weidong put Virginia on the recliner, dictated and asked Mi Xiaozhou to record.

"Chapter 1 Time Machine"

"Eck!"

The screams of tires rubbing against the ground due to braking sounded in front of the busiest "Black Panther Bar" in the city.

The military jeep belonging to the seventh team of the military special forces, known as the elite among the elites, stopped suddenly.

Amidst the cheers and laughter, Xiang Shaolong and three teammates grabbed the edge of the door and jumped out of the car.

Mi Xiaozhou turned his head and said angrily: "Boss, we want martial arts, what kind of special forces are you?"

Wei Dong smiled and said, "I'm writing a story about a modern person returning to the Warring States Period by a space-time machine. You can just continue writing."

Mi Xiaozhou asked anxiously: "What are you talking about? Which novel is the story of modern people going back to the past? Can someone read it?"

Wei Dongdao: "Do you know what is the sense of substitution? When a modern person goes back to the past dynasty, he will naturally put himself into it when he is studying. Imagine that he has become the protagonist and returned to the past. How can there be such an indigenous protagonist?" What sense of substitution?"

"Heretic theory, why don't other people's books have any time travel?" Of course Mi Xiaozhou didn't believe Wei Dong's words.

Wei Dongdao: "Why are you so disobedient, girl? Just let you write. How can there be so much nonsense?"

Mi Xiaozhou sighed, his boss is too autocratic, he can't listen to his own opinion, forget it, just treat it as practicing calligraphy, and just find other martial arts writers later.

Wei Dong just read according to the text, Mi Xiaozhou hurriedly wrote at his desk, and sent Xiang Shaolong to the Warring States Period in a blink of an eye.

Writing novels was just a whim, and it was too painful to write. In the afternoon, Weidong came to the company to process the materials Virginia brought.

I wanted to acquire home appliance manufacturing technology or companies before, but now I have completed them. The acquired companies are all small and medium-sized companies in California, and they all have second-rate technologies. They only received them at a high price. First of all, It is a TV production company and a refrigerator production company. There are thousands of workers in total. There are picture tube production lines, TV assembly production lines, and refrigerator production lines.

Bian Jianye is very conscientious. Air conditioners, microwave ovens, rice cookers and range hoods are all purchased technologies, and the production line needs to be purchased separately.

Weidong closed the report and said, "That is to say, we now have the second-rate technology of home appliances. We can start production as long as we buy a production line?" '

Yan Li said: "Yes, the matter of purchasing the production line has been contacted by Rockwell in the beautiful country, and they are currently negotiating."

Rockwell is specialized in the production line business, so you can go to them when you want to buy a production line. The home appliance production line is already a popular product, and it is very convenient to buy.

Wei Dongdao: "Including the two months of transportation, we will be able to produce our own home appliances after the first month of the Chinese New Year."

"Yes, plus the time for production and debugging, it must be the first month before it can be sold offline."

Weidong just pays attention to the progress. Since he bought the technology, he has to buy a production line to start work. Of course, what he bought is only a production line, and he can copy it by himself when the time comes.

After reading the report, the assistants were invited to a meeting. The three assistants, Yan Li, the top class, and Yan Li's assistant, all started to discuss the long-term planning of the home appliance industry. From the industrial layout to the establishment of the production line and the expansion of subsequent production capacity, everything was fully carried out. discuss.

With the expansion of the company's scale, Weidong also felt that what matters are not decided by himself, and many things need to be let go to these executives, otherwise how can he enjoy himself in the future?
Besides, there are more and more companies, and I can't manage them myself. I just need to copy some equipment and production lines occasionally. I plan to wait for the 80s to return to the capital to live. At that time, the company will still be handed over to these people.

Weidong just drank tea and seldom interrupted. He waited quietly for the executives to formulate a plan. Finally, Weidong made a decision and only waited for the production line to come to Weidong for copying.

The executives receded like a tide, leaving only Mi Xiaozhou to clean up, and then brought some documents and materials, and after dealing with the company's affairs, he said: "Boss, the stocks of Yizhen shares that I bought before were all sold out yesterday, and all of them are sold out. The price is 3.42 yuan per share, but it’s a pity that I bought less and didn’t earn much.”

Wei Dong said with a smile: "It means you are not satisfied. Money in the stock market needs to be harvested for a long time. If you make a lot of money at once, you will scare others away."

Mi Xiaozhou complained a little: "They just want to make more money from the stock market."

Wei Dong said: "There will be opportunities in the future, I will teach you later."

In the blink of an eye, HSBC sold another 35.4 tons of gold to Weidong in December. This time the price was only $35 an ounce, which was already very close to the standard price of $[-].

Weidong began to think about whether he should stop speculating in gold futures.

Feeling hesitant for a while, Wei Dong called Ruan Tao to discuss it at night.

Ruan Tao was a little surprised after hearing Weidong's story. The price of gold has been falling in recent months, from 43.5 an ounce in May to the current Xiangjiang price of 35.4, which is even cheaper in London.
Reverse question: "Are you optimistic about the future market of gold?"

Of course, Weidong is optimistic about the medium and long-term trend of gold. By the beginning of the 80s, it can increase by more than 20 times. This business is more profitable than anything else.

"Of course, gold reserves are a reflection of a country's overall strength. Besides, the U.S. dollar has gradually decoupled from gold. If the Fed closes the exchange channel between gold and U.S. dollars, the price of gold will skyrocket."

"Will the Federal Reserve close the exchange of dollars and gold?" Ruan Tao asked in disbelief.

Wei Dong nodded: "Didn't the personal channels be closed last year? Now only the governments and central banks of various countries have the right to exchange U.S. dollars and the Federal Reserve for gold. If a large amount of gold is lost, the Federal Reserve is of course unwilling to accept U.S. dollars and ship out gold."

The Federal Reserve was unwilling to see the gold in its treasury turned into waste paper printed by itself, so it directly closed all exchange channels, and then the price of gold began to follow the market. Coupled with the stimulation of the two oil crises, gold eventually soared to At the high price of $850 an ounce, the Federal Reserve had to come forward to suppress the price of gold. After ten years of adjustments, it was cut in half and fell below $400.

Even at that price, it was ten times more expensive than the current $35. Now that Weidong has money, of course he wants to start hoarding some gold.

Ruan Tao decided to support it after thinking about it. At that time, Xiangjiang real estate was in a downturn, and many owners sold industrial buildings. Weidong insisted on buying crazy loans. After the industrial buildings were bought, he bought the factory land and demolished the buildings. Now Qiuyu Group has more than 140 buildings. It is the largest industrial land owner in Xiangjiang.

And up to now, more than 80 million cash has been invested in the stock market. With the economic improvement this year, the stock market has gradually recovered. The Hang Seng Index has risen from more than 110 points to more than [-] points now, which is indeed a big bottom.

Now that he is looking at gold investment again, maybe he can really succeed in buying bottoms in the gold market again. Ah Wei's strategic vision is so accurate, and he has no reason to object.

Besides, the money in the company's account is gradually increasing, and it really needs to be spent for investment. The gold market is infinite, and billions of dollars can be invested.

"Now the company's situation is much better than before. Even if there is a loss in gold investment, it will not have any impact on the company. You just buy it."

Gold is the most value-preserving commodity, even if there is a small loss, it is not a big deal, not to mention that the price is now very close to 35 US dollars an ounce.
