The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Huang Fuyi said with satisfaction: "Director Li is an adult and has a lot of things that he doesn't care about. We can't help but take it to heart."

At the beginning of the month, there were rumors in Hong Kong that Xingchen Company was making huge profits from its Rubik's Cube toys.

It is indeed a huge profit, not a rumor.

The initiator knew that after Xingchen Company investigated, he was very confident and had no intention of apologizing.

When Li Ming heard the report, he knew that the other party was chatting while having afternoon tea. He didn't mean to cause trouble, but was just talking nonsense, so he stopped answering.

There are slanderous people everywhere, and he can't control them.

Huang Fuyi later received news that the other party had a sweetheart who was a married woman.

After Ah Hai's instigation, Huang Fuyi took the lead, and Ah Hai executed it. They first arranged a good show for the other party to be caught in rape, and then spread the bad news about the other party.

There are no rumors either.

Tooth for tooth.

If Li Ming knew about it, he would definitely not agree. This kind of procrastination is not his style.

He always either ignores them, or directly drives the other person away, or directly kills them.

noon.

Li Ming went to Hong Kong City to attend his uncle's wedding banquet.

After the meal, he sent Lou Xiaoe back to the company and listened to Huang Fuyi's gloating report.

Li Ming said helplessly: "Don't do this kind of kid's play house in the future."

"The Lu family is also very powerful in Hong Kong City. After investigation, we will find out that it is your mastermind."

Without the expected compliment, Huang Fuyi said in a low voice: "Ah Hai and I acted very cautiously and did not arrange for others to do things. Only the two of us know about this matter."

"The main reason is that Lu Jiale knew that we were very dissatisfied. He didn't even express a basic apology. He obviously didn't take our company seriously."

"I happened to know about his scandal, so I took it upon myself to punish him."

Li Ming didn't mean to make a bureau or just go with the flow. Li Ming simply said, "Okay. For matters that are not very urgent in the future, please report to the chairman first before taking any action."

Huang Fuyi knew he had passed the test, "Yes. I understand, and I won't do anything clever again in the future."

After Huang Fuyi left, Lou Xiao'e helped to say something fair, "Huang Fuyi did a good job and helped the company."

Women do things more carefully than men. There are good things but bad things, and they are often more narrow-minded.

Calculate every detail!

Lou Xiao'e was busy with her affairs and couldn't take care of it for a while, so she was relieved to hear Huang Fuyi's report.

Li Ming explained: "I don't want him to make his own decisions."

"Huang Fuyi and Ah Hai often walk together, wandering on the edge of the rules, and can easily go beyond the rules. We should always keep a close eye on them."

Lou Xiao'e understood, "Well, I will pay more attention in the future."

"Hairong Labor Service Company has shipped 300 people to Australia, and is only responsible for 6000 acres of land. We are unable to make ends meet."

Due to the harsh geographical conditions and low land prices in most parts of Australia, the wheat yield per mu has not increased. In a few decades, the average yield per mu will be less than 200 kilograms.

The output of 6000 acres is only 1200 tons. The international wheat price is also falling, and it is only worth about 50 Hong Kong dollars in the Hong Kong city.

For 300 people, the annual salary is HK$110 million, not counting food expenses.

Li Ming didn't take it seriously and said: "Australia's wheat yield per acre is not good because of poor irrigation. When wheat needs water, it doesn't rain."

"Our large pond has been dug, and we can pump water to irrigate crops. The yield per mu can be upwards of 300 kilograms. Plus the income from raising sheep, it is barely enough to cover the labor costs."

Lou Xiao'e reminded: "Seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides all cost a lot of money."

Since Li Ming plans to develop Australia, he still has a rough plan. "It's okay. As long as there are more people, we can make money back in the future."

"Now that these people from the past have made money, they either stay in Australia to buy real estate or return to Hong Kong. They have to spend money anyway."

"If they stay in Australia, it will be very simple. We buy the land, build houses, rent it to them or sell it to them at a low profit."

"If commercial facilities are built near residential areas, there will be a steady stream of profits, and land prices will also increase significantly."

"At this time, we can borrow more money from the bank with the increased land price, and then continue to buy land to build new areas."

"As long as there are people, this spiral borrowing operation can continue to develop."

Most real estate companies have grown rapidly in this way, and some are more ruthless. After acquiring the land, they directly use land mortgage loans to start the operation without building houses.

But once there is a problem with the land price or the house cannot be sold, everything will collapse like dominoes.

The entire business model is very simple, and there is no need to wait for decades. At this time, real estate developers in Hong Kong City are already very skilled in using this plan to operate real estate projects.

Lou Xiao'e also knows something about the real estate market. "We must ensure that people who buy houses can continue to have income, otherwise it will become a pile of bad debts."

"Australia's farms and ranches don't need many people. Only by finding ways to buy mines can we create enough jobs."

Li Ming also knows that covering the door is the income of the house buyer. "We have established a foothold in Broome and can try to buy a mine."

Lou Xiao'e suggested: "Otherwise, let's buy some prospecting licenses near Broome first. Prospecting doesn't cost much."

"The company's funds are a bit tight now. Hong Kong City needs to pay loan interest and monthly payments, and Riben needs to build a cup noodle factory and pay year-end bonuses."

Prospecting requires a prospecting license, which has time and location restrictions; when mining, a mining license is also required.

Li Ming agreed: "That's okay."

He has made up his mind to go to Australia to see for himself the distribution of resources there.

Lou Xiao'e said with a smile: "If we are lucky and find a large iron mine, we can sit and count the money."

"Last year, Japan has replaced Yingguo as Australia's number one exporter, and its main purchases are iron ore."

Li Ming said casually: "Use workers from Hong Kong City to open mines in Australia. As long as it is a mine, you will make money."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "The demand for iron ore is huge, so it's easy to sell it."

Japan's total steel production in 1959 was 1300 million tons, and crude steel production in 1969 reached 8700 million tons.

Although the domestic output of raw materials such as iron ore and coal is small, most of them need to be imported.

Australia is about 6000 kilometers away from Japan, and places like Brazil and the Philippines are often more than 1 to 2 kilometers away from Japan. Australia's freight advantage is very obvious.

Li Ming said with a smile: "First get the prospecting rights near Broome. It's not up to us to decide what kind of mine we can dig. We have to have it underground."

"Yeah. I'll send a telegram and let them handle it. When it's time to pay the prospecting money, we have also received some payment."

"Then I'll go back to the capital first. I'll continue my nonsense with the Beijing Food Import and Export Company in the afternoon."

"Go! I'm fine."

What Li Ming said was nonsense was that the ham sausage processing factory wanted to import vitamin C and other ingredients, but it did not have the authority and wanted to use the resources of the food import and export company.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary factories to apply for the use of foreign exchange to import materials, and it can even be said that it is impossible to pass. Processing plants have an advantage. They import for export, which gives them the confidence to apply.

Just like cans, tinplate is imported in order to export cans.

In ham sausage, vitamin C and other costs account for a small proportion, unlike tinplate which accounts for a large proportion in cans.

Exporting a small amount of ham sausage can make up for the foreign exchange consumed by vitamin C and other ingredients.

Much of the remaining ham can be used to meet domestic demand.

The reasons for applying for foreign exchange are very good.

Li Ming has not returned to the steel rolling mill.

The third department of procurement is already making a lot of noise.

All because of a notice, "Notice on Further Crackdowns and Inversion of Investment Notes"

The detailed content has not been reproduced and distributed by the factory.

Bao asked Li Xueyao and said naggingly: "I saw it. There are ten regulations in total. Articles 8 and 9 are all about procurement."

Qian Jin couldn't wait and urged: "Hurry up and tell me the specific content!"

Li Xueyao opened the note and said, "How can I remember it so completely? I copied it onto the note and read it to you."

"8. Effectively strengthen market management and resolutely..."

"9. Resolutely ban unlicensed traders and..."

"Cooperative shops (groups), handicraft cooperatives (groups), individual traders, and individual handicraft households must strictly abide by national policies and laws, accept the leadership of the state-owned economy, submit to the management of the industrial and commercial administrative departments, and accept transformation."

“National enterprises, institutions, agencies, schools, and groups are not allowed to go to markets and rural communes to purchase items on their own without permission from the local competent authorities.”

Seeing Li Xueyao finish reading, Qian Jin asked: "Does this mean we can't go to the countryside anymore?"

Hu Lai did not play devil's advocate, "I don't know if I can do it in the future. I definitely can't do it recently. Now I am at the point of a gun."

Qian Jin thought of the supplies in the countryside, "We still have a lot of things that have not been shipped to Dongfeng Commune. We are just waiting for them to be shipped in two days to give everyone the goods for the year."

Zhao Xin, who is in charge of the chicken business, said quickly: "Then we have to find the section chief quickly? Transport the things back quickly."

Hu Lai felt there was no need to rush, "Maybe the section chief already knows, right? Have you gone to find Director Li and Xiao Ming to discuss countermeasures?"

Li Xueyao denied: "This notice has just arrived at the office. Director Li may not even know about it yet."

"Had it not been noted at the end, 'This notice shall be read out to urban and rural masses and posted,' the office would not have allowed me to copy it."

Zhang Youlu read the note and said, "Didn't you pay attention to the sentence 'Communes, production brigades, production teams and members are not allowed to engage in business.'"

"What does 'business' mean? Does opening a factory count as running a business?"

"The Xiangyanghua Brigade provided cans to our factory during the National Day. All the employees in the factory praised our department for several days and are planning to get more next year."

Qian Jin said uncertainly: "Doing business should mean doing business, right? Buying and selling it. They produce, process and sell it themselves, so it shouldn't be counted!"

Hu Lai retorted: "It's all about selling things, what's the point?"

"And we can't go to the countryside to purchase. Even if they are not considered commercial, they can't sell to our factory."

Xin Zhao frowned, "This is a bit of a headache."

They are not alone in being confused, and because of this, many places have their own unique understandings.

Some people think that raising chickens and selling eggs is a business, and they cannot even raise more chickens.

Of course, there are other factors involved, such as individual free-range chickens eating grain from the production team’s fields.

The grain is not yet mature, so it is impossible to fence off large tracts of farmland to prevent it from being eaten by chickens.

Did they eat? How much did they eat? Whose chicken ate more? There are arguments about all of this, but there is no surveillance to check, so it is impossible to make a clear argument.

Since it is difficult to manage, we might as well stop raising more chickens and just raise three or two free-range chickens that we kill and eat. This way we won’t waste much food.

In order to facilitate management, there are still many interpretations like this that are beneficial to oneself.

Li Ming learned a lot about the actual situation, and after thinking about it, there seemed to be no other good solution.

Some greedy people will always bring misfortune to everyone.

Wait for Section Chief Li to return to the Security Section.

There were already two people from the ham sausage processing factory management committee waiting for him.

Ai Zongqin, who has always been impatient, asked first: "Chief Li, have you seen the latest notice?"

There have been too many notifications recently, and Li Ming asked: "Which notification?"

Xiao Pingying, who is in charge of welfare, added: "The factory just received the notice to crack down on book flipping."

"Article 4 talks about the new regulations on the collective economy."

Article 4 applies to processing plants. It is absolutely not allowed to divide the working capital, provident fund, and public welfare funds of the unit; any money that has been divided privately must be paid back immediately. '

'Year-end dividends from handicraft cooperatives and other enterprises must be stopped... '

With such new regulations, it’s not surprising that they rushed to the main factory to find their backbone.

Li Ming got off work early at noon and went to Hong Kong City for a banquet. He didn't know the situation. "I haven't seen the specific content. Where did you get it?"

Ai Zongqin, who is in charge of purchasing and sales, replied: "The food import and export company called us and told us, and we called back to the main factory office to confirm."

Li Ming explained briefly, "I have something to go out at noon."

"You guys sit down for a while and drink tea first."

"I'll ask the factory office to send me the documents. Once I understand it clearly, we can talk slowly."

As he spoke, he picked up the phone and called the factory office.

The people in the factory office didn't dare to neglect and quickly sent him a notice that the ink had dried.

The document begins with a lengthy discussion of its various implications for hundreds of words.

The first article summarizes various economic notices issued in 67. The requirements must continue to be resolutely implemented.

The second article is still about wages and benefits, with special emphasis on the regularization and classification of employees.

It must be handled in accordance with the provisions of the "Notice on Issues Concerning the Regularization and Grading of Employees" dated 67.12.28. Any unauthorized promotion, classification or salary increase that does not comply with the regulations will be invalid.

Li Ming jumped directly to the fourth item, frowned and said slowly: "Profit dividends will be stopped.

Xiao Pingying responded: "Some employees in the processing plant also knew about it and came to ask us what to do with yesterday's money."

Ai Zongqin then said: "We can't make up our minds, so we want to ask you for advice." (End of Chapter)
