Chapter 121 Working hard for the future (Third update, please follow up)
  Question, what is needed to build a modern industrial country?
  A large number of educated people entered the factories as workers.

A large number of technical personnel provide technical support on the front line.

A large number of technical experts organize production and research...

In fact, the most important thing in building a modern industrial country is funds!

Let’s not talk about other countries, but still take the “First Five-Year Plan” as an example. The total investment during the entire “First Five-Year Plan” period reached 766.4 billion yuan, equivalent to more than 7 million taels of gold.

One tael of gold is 37.42849791 grams.

7 million taels of gold, equivalent to 261.99948537 million grams of gold.

Converted into U.S. dollars... 297 billion U.S. dollars!
  What is the most important?

Money is the most important thing!

Without money nothing is possible.

Working souls are part-time workers, working is the way to be a good person.

As a result, due to the pressure of life and settling things in France, Li Yian had to return to the United States and continue to carry out human trafficking.

Although the gold of San Dezi is good, it is not much in quantity.

But the United States is different. The demand for tight commodities such as sugar in the U.S. market is in the millions of tons, and the Lend-Lease Act also allows Americans to be fully employed. Full employment means... people have money in their hands.

There is money in hand, but there are not enough goods in the market, and demand stimulates the market.

Who would sit back and watch in the face of such demands?
  Although Americans use U.S. dollars to pay their bills, not gold, what was the U.S. dollar after World War II?
  US dollars!

The U.S. dollar is the hard currency equivalent of gold.

On the day of returning to New York, no, it was the next day. After all, a little farewell was better than a wedding. After all, he and Heidi still had to linger for a day. After a night of indulgence, Li Yi'an took Pan Am Airlines' DC3 to go there the next day. We arrived in Cuba because the North Borneo Company did not open a route to Cuba. Otherwise, we would definitely have taken our own SM.75.

Although the war has affected the lives of many people, in fact it has almost no impact on the rich. Their children are often in the safest rear areas. As for themselves, they still live the same life as in the past. It should be said that they are richer than before. After all, the war brought America out of the quagmire of the Great Depression.

Just like now, every weekend, wealthy people from New York go to Havana to enjoy life. There are not only tropical scenery, countless luxury hotels, resorts and casinos, but also their favorite dance parties, Havana cigars and passionate Latin girls.

For them, weekends like this have long been a part of their lives, but today they had some surprises.

An Asian guy was sitting on the window seat.

He must be Chinese!
  Most of the passengers guessed this. Although they were a little surprised that there would be Chinese people on this plane, they just took a look out of curiosity. However, for Grace, besides being curious, she felt more like this. Everything is too wonderful - yesterday, she just participated in a fund-raising event for China, and she donated 100 US dollars herself. The turmoil in the spring made the whole United States see the difficulties of China's war of resistance. In the past few months, Here, there are fund-raising activities held for China everywhere, just like the fund-raising activities held for Russia and the United Kingdom before.

I didn’t expect to meet a Chinese person on the plane today, sitting next to me. From the moment she sat down, she looked at the man with her peripheral vision from time to time.

Seems like I've seen it somewhere.

How long has it been since the plane took off?

Li Yian didn't know it, but he could always feel the eyes of the woman next to him while he was reading a magazine. In fact, he had already noticed her when she sat down. After all, a beautiful blonde with a slim figure can always Attract men's attention.

But it felt uncomfortable to be stared at. Even the woman staring at him had an amazing appearance and figure. So, closing the magazine, Li Yian turned to look at the blond foreign girl next to him and said.

"Miss, your eyes are very unladylike."

Ah!
  Only then did Grace realize how rude she was. The fifteen-year-old girl immediately blushed with embarrassment and apologized quickly. "I'm sorry, sir, I'm rude, please forgive me."

While apologizing, Grace explained.

"I just thought you looked familiar, so I was thinking about whether we had met before yesterday at the fund-raising meeting held in Central Park to support China's Anti-Japanese War?"

It's normal for the face to look familiar. We were on the front page of the newspaper a few months ago. However, the printing quality of newspapers in this era is worrying, and the photo is a bit blurry.

"Fundraising meeting?"

Li Yi'an said doubtfully.

"Yes, there were many Chinese people at the banquet. I thought I had seen you there before, that's why I was so rude."

The blond beauty's explanation made Li Yian not only surprised, but also more curious about the fundraising banquet.

"Can you tell me about the fundraiser?"

"It seems that you really didn't participate."

Grace then explained.

"You know, because of Governor Dewey, Americans know how we ignored China, which was at war with the Japanese. For two years, we gave a lot of supplies to Britain and Russia, but only gave China 1000 guns. Rifles, God, it's almost embarrassing to mention, so now in the United States, fundraisers like this are often held..."

The girl's explanation made Li Yian stunned - fundraising! Americans take the initiative to raise funds for China!

This is simply unbelievable. Could it be that this is the change that I have brought about?

Thinking of this, Li Yian couldn't help feeling a little proud.

"A total of US$15.5 was raised yesterday! All the money will be used to purchase supplies and then transport them to China to resist the Japanese invasion..."

Grace emphasized again.

"I think every American is very happy to do their part to kill the Japs."

After saying that, her watery blue eyes stared at Li Yi'an. In fact, her subtext could not be clearer - I also donated.

However, Li Yian did not notice this at all, but was thinking about how to obtain as much funds as possible in the next year. After all, the funds needed for the construction of Borneo in the future will be billions of dollars. count.

Money is such a headache!

……

Ok!

This person is so rude, he actually got distracted again!

Grace couldn't help but feel a little upset. After all, she was born in a wealthy family. With her extraordinary family background and beautiful appearance, she had long been accustomed to being the center of attention. When had she ever received such a cold reception? She raised her little mouth, and her beautiful face was full of gloom.

This guy is so defiant!
  However, Li Yian didn't notice that the girl next to him was sulking at all. He was just thinking about various things, but after much thought, he still couldn't think of a reason...

In the end, I just didn’t think about it anymore...
