The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

After World War II, Yingguo's industrial capabilities began to lag behind other developed countries.

Using the same labor and material resources, the products produced by Yingguo are of lower value, which means that the price is inflated and it will not be cost-effective for others to buy it.

Losing its advantage in international trade will result in a trade deficit.

A further consequence is that products cannot be sold, and factories cannot expand production and recruit workers but close down and lay off workers, worsening the local job market.

Originally, when Yingguo's imports were greater than its exports, there would be more people selling pounds than buying pounds.

Coupled with bad economic data, investors will also sell their pounds and exchange them for other currencies that are actually more valuable.

In a vicious circle, there is always pressure to depreciate the pound, and Yingguo is trying hard not to let the pound depreciate.

Li Ming didn't know exactly how long Ying Guo Lao could hold out, but he knew that Ying Guo Lao couldn't hold on this time.

That is to say, I don’t know the specific date, otherwise Li Ming will definitely give Ying Guolai such a cruel blow.

Xingchen Company doesn’t care what Ying Guoguo thinks. It accepts US dollars, RMB, Japanese yen, marks and rubles, but not British pounds.

Most of the mainland's shiitake mushrooms are exported to Hong Kong cities. He also suggested to local product companies that the contracts should be denominated in RMB, and he also submitted a proposal.

In the 60s, countries around the world basically had fixed exchange rates, and there was basically no need to consider exchange rate risks.

Due to the ban on the U.S. dollar, my country's imports and exports from capital-intensive countries are mainly made in British pounds, accounting for more than half of the foreign exchange payments, followed by Hong Kong dollars.

The Hong Kong dollar is tied to the British pound exchange rate, and is actually still British pounds.

There are more than 30 currencies like the Hong Kong dollar that are bound to the British pound, which will affect the whole body.

If the settlement of the contract is priced in pounds, if the pound depreciates, we will lose.

For example, the unit price stipulated in the contract is 1 pound per catty, and the RMB is 6.89 yuan per catty.

This quotation of 6.89 yuan was calculated based on the cost in the mainland, which was converted into 1 pound and written into the contract.

The depreciation of the pound will not change the contract price. The unit price is still 1 pound per catty. When we sell 1 catty, we still receive 1 pound, but there is no more 6.89 yuan.

If the pound depreciates by 10%, what we actually receive is 6.2 yuan.

The more it depreciates, the more it loses.

Naturally, we were unwilling to do so, so many commercial conflicts and diplomatic troubles arose out of thin air.

The basis for Li Ming's suggestion was very fair and aboveboard. Mainland newspapers often reported that Yingguo's economy was in dire straits and there was great pressure to depreciate the pound. (Chapter 313 contains a note, 'The Precarious Pound')
Since you know that the pound is going to depreciate, it makes no sense to sign the contract in pounds!
If you want to pin a label on someone, you can blame it on someone who is a traitor to the country.

Of course, using RMB for pricing can protect our interests and reduce foreign exchange risks, but the risks still exist, but they are all transferred to foreign investors.

Foreign businessmen are not fools. Businessmen who can do international trade in these days are all shrewd. Others will have opinions and do not do business in this way.

This will lead to a decrease in the willingness of foreign businessmen to purchase and affect our exports.

Therefore, Li Ming's proposal specifically mentioned that foreign businessmen are allowed to pre-purchase RMB in advance or reserve forward RMB, so that foreign businessmen can also reduce foreign exchange risks accordingly.

RMB is only a tool for pricing transactions. It does not enable RMB to be circulated, reserved, or used internationally. It does not involve other complex financial issues. It is completely feasible.

At the Canton Fair, which will be held in two days on November 11, the higher authorities have approved a trial plan to denominated some transactions in RMB.

Sunflower Brigade.

Mushroom shed.

The second crop of mushrooms is being cultivated, and Section Chief Li is here to guide the work.

Mushrooms are always valuable, and one more harvest means more income.

Li Ming warned: "Be diligent and pay attention to the temperature at night. Too low a temperature will affect the growth of mushrooms."

The first crop of mushrooms was dried and sold to a local product company. The payment has been received. Captain Gao also put down the burden and couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"There will be someone assigned to watch over you at night."

"The local product company is looking forward to this second crop of mushrooms."

"They said that at the Canton Fair the day after tomorrow, our flower mushrooms will be displayed as samples in the exhibition area."

The samples must be chosen with the best appearance. Li Ming smiled knowingly and said: "Everything I pick is big, round, thick, and bright in color. It can't be justified if it is not a sample."

Captain Gao said sincerely: "Chief Li, our team does not dare to take credit for this mushroom planting."

"The city is preparing to set up a model. Our brigade has held a meeting and discussed it. We must tell the truth to the city."

Captain Gao also said: "Yes. The sawdust mushrooms are all your fault, we are just a start."

"From the fermentation of wood chips to the picking and drying of mushrooms, you guided us step by step."

If it is not dried well, the appearance will not be beautiful enough and the appearance will be affected. When there is a large supply of fresh mushrooms, it is always good to eat in large quantities, and fewer people will care about it.

Li Ming smiled and excused himself: "Without your care day and night, it wouldn't be possible."

"And it is not right to promote individuals and ignore the collective. It is a mistake to make."

"We will not get into trouble with this. You can write that it is the result of collective efforts."

He didn't have time to make a report, and there was no use in getting such an honor.

Captain Gao, Company Commander Gao and others looked at each other a few times. It was indeed the case. Now we were emphasizing the role of the collective.

Li Ming came up with a very old-fashioned but useful method, "We can set up a 'sawdust mushroom cultivation technology' research group and report it in the name of the research group."

Captain Gao suggested: "Then I want you to be the team leader."

Li Ming continued to refuse, "Let the Party Secretary Gao take over the job, and I will just take the name of deputy team leader."

"I'm not being modest on purpose. In the future, when people from fraternal units come to visit and study, if the team leader doesn't come forward to receive them, this will embarrass everyone and affect unity."

"If I were the team leader, I would definitely delay the reception work because I am not here often."

"Secretary Gao is highly respected and has good control over policies. He is a very suitable candidate for team leader."

Reception work is indeed a serious issue. If it is not done well, good things may turn into bad things.

Captain Gao couldn't make the decision. "My uncle and Accountant Hu went to the county to attend a class. When he comes back, we will have another meeting to calculate the total."

Li Ming asked with a smile: "Are you at the back of the queue?"

Captain Gao replied: "It won't be our turn until next month."

Ideological learning is not just a matter in cities, factories, and government agencies.

Investigation reports from Yun Province, Gan Province and other provinces believe that.

Since it cannot be passed on, then call people from below to come up and have everyone hold meetings to learn together; send people from above to the grassroots to promote propaganda.

After the busy farming season in the countryside ended, study classes were held in various places, with training sessions taking turns. Study classes are now a focus of work in various places. They are not only run by counties, but also run by communes and even production brigades.

It was a lively scene.

Steel rolling mill, purchasing department three.

Qian Jin, Hu Lai and others were listening to Li Xueyao talk about the news she had obtained.

"Our food industry bases are mainly in Guangdong Province, Fujian Province, Shanghai, Qingdao, and Jincheng. In the past, we didn't have any good products in Beijing, but this time we also have good products. What do you think it is?"

Qian Jin looked like he shouldn't take us for fools, "Do you even need to guess? It must be ham sausage and instant noodles."

Li Xueyao smiled and said, "I thought you could guess ducks or something."

"Yes, Beijing is focusing on ham sausage and instant noodles this time, especially instant noodles. We have high hopes."

Qian Jin thinks this is a matter of course, "We grow a lot of wheat in the north, have sufficient flour supply, and have sufficient raw materials for the production of instant noodles, so we have advantages."

Old rival Hu Lai retorted: "Old Qian, you are wrong."

"It is definitely easier to transport flour than instant noodles, and the final freight cost may be even less cost-effective."

Qian Jin refuted: "Instant noodles can be transported through the port of Jincheng, which means that rail and truck transportation are needed between Beijing and Jincheng."

"Um." Hu Lai got stuck, "You're right, I'm only thinking about the situation in the south."

After making a mistake, Hu Lai immediately changed the topic, "The ham sausage production line, instant noodle production line, and pellet feed machine are all good things. Why didn't you apply to the Canton Fair?"

Li Xueyao was well-informed, "I heard Xiao Ming say it when he was chatting with the section chief."

"The product still needs to be optimized. It is not appropriate to launch an imperfect product."

"If you ask me, Xiao Ming is still too cautious."

"I have neighbors who work in an instrument factory. They applied no matter what, and they all got the opportunity to show off."

Qian Jin said disapprovingly: "If you show it, you must be able to sell it, and if you sell it, you must have a good reputation."

"I agree with Xiao Ming. What we produce must be good products with excellent quality."

Hu Lai did not play devil's advocate and said: "It is obviously better for us to use immature and unreliable things ourselves first, sum up experience and improve quality, and come up with perfect products before displaying them."

"Products provided in a hurry can easily go wrong later, and may indeed affect the image of our country."

Qin Huairu helped Li Xueyao and said: "Only the grinding disc deformation problem of the pellet feed machine has not been solved yet."

"The production of ham sausage and instant noodles has been much better, and problems with the production line are only minor problems."

After receiving support, Li Xueyao suddenly felt confident, "That's right. There will definitely be no big problems. Small problems are unavoidable and easy to solve."

"The pellet feed machine is just a matter of the cost of replacing the grinding disc, and it can be put out for display."

In fact, Li Ming persuaded the factory leaders not to rush to submit the application. It was indeed because the technology was immature, the cost was high, and it was uncompetitive.

The performance of Riben's production line is better than that of the steel rolling mill, and the price is not more expensive. Foreign businessmen in capital-intensive countries want to make profits, so they will naturally choose Riben's products.

In countries such as Dongou, Su, and Nanchao, Section Chief Li still wanted to sell ham sausages and instant noodles directly. Now that he has sold production lines to them, he can no longer sell these processed foods.

After three or two years, the other party wanted to introduce production, and it was too late to sell the production line.

It is not appropriate to put this statement in a clear light. The article "In Memory of Bai Qiun" has been a focus of study recently.

Li Ming obviously would not make such a simple mistake.

Qian Jin asked: "Xiao Qin. Does Xiao Ming have any new plans recently?"

Qin Huairu asked doubtfully: "What new plan?"

Qian Jin said bluntly: "Xiao Ming's study class is over, now I have time to work on projects."

Qin Huairu replied: "I didn't listen to him. He has been busy recently with the expansion of the ham sausage processing plant."

"The bank loan has been approved, and there are countless things that require his decision-making regarding the renovation of production equipment and construction of factory buildings."

"He is also in charge of the order production of the Machinery Branch Factory."

The more she talked, the more she felt that her man was having a hard time. She comforted herself in her heart, forgiving the man was just so that it would not affect her work.

Li Xueyao chimed in, "Xiao Ming is busy enough. They also have a lot of things going on in the Security Department."

"It's not easy to come up with new projects. If it were easy, everyone would have thought of it long ago."

Qian Jin explained: "Winter is here, and when the production team has sold out what they are supposed to sell, we will all be free."

"If Xiao Ming has a new project to work on, we can also help him and run errands for him."

Hu Lai was amused, "Old Qian, you have a beautiful idea. Who in the factory doesn't want to run errands for Xiao Ming?"

"Xu Damao from the Publicity Department has to go to Xiao Ming even for morning exercises."

Qian Jin asked strangely: "Who did you listen to?"

Hu Lai didn't keep it a secret, "Silly Zhu in the small cafeteria said that Xu Damao had no ability and was best at flattering others, so he kept getting closer to Xiao Ming."

Qian Jin has always disliked Sha Zhu, "Si Zhu has such a bad mouth and never has anything nice to say, not to mention they are sworn enemies."

Qin Huairu didn't want Xu Damao and Li Ming to get too close. If she hadn't been blowing pillow wind in Li Ming's ear, maybe Xu Damao would have gotten some credit.

Xu Damao couldn't guess the reason even if he wanted to die, because he offended Qin Huairu a few years ago, and the serious consequences have continued to this day.

Qin Huairu expressed her gratitude to her man, "The technical film that has been reflected in the factory recently is Xiao Ming's idea for Xu Damao. Xiao Ming is letting Xu Damao feel at ease to show everyone a good movie."

Everyone in the factory benefited from watching, Li Xueyao said with a smile: "Xiao Ming really has a lot of ideas. Learn the technology from the technical film, so you won't make mistakes."

Hu Lai chuckled and said, "That's because Xiao Ming is here in the factory. It might not be that simple to change the factory."

If you want to find trouble, you can find trouble. Those who make trouble for nothing in the steel rolling mill do not dare to make trouble, simply because they are afraid of Chief Li.

Li Ming not only convinced the vast majority of people by his ability to accomplish things, but his theoretical level was also very high. The small group of people who wanted to cause trouble said they couldn't beat him, and more importantly, they couldn't beat him.

This matter will definitely be taken care of by Section Chief Li, and no one in the steel rolling mill will do the thankless work.

It is well-known that Section Chief Li likes to give credit to the people who do things. Instead of doing things, it is better to run errands for Section Chief Li, and then the credit will come to you.

Qian Jin said with a smile: "Not to mention the people in our main factory, even the people in the following branch factories are all good."

"Compare that to the steel company next door to us. All their subsidiaries are awesome. If they hadn't been asked to join forces some time ago, I don't know how many small gangs there would be."

Hu Lai also said: "We are united, but there are still a lot of opinions inside, and they are bickering every day."

The steel rolling mill's talisman, Li Ming returned to the security department. (End of chapter)
