With Lu Ye's guarantee, Fang Heping and his people happily went back to report to their director.

Of course, they also took away the piles of laid-off employees' information on the table. It was useless to leave such things here.

Seeing these people rushing towards the car little by little, Lu Zhizhi couldn't help but start to worry.

Large-scale layoffs of workers will mean a reduction in consumption power, and a reduction in consumption power will trigger many chain reactions. The economy will begin to be depressed, and more factories will close down, which will cause more people to lose their jobs. Such a vicious cycle

This will trigger greater social conflicts.

Thinking of this, Lu Ye returned to his office and called A Fei in Suihe.

"Wild Brother"

"Is it easy to talk?" Lu Ye asked.

"It's convenient, there's no one around me." A Fei replied.

"Okay, I'll leave you with something. From now on, you can hoard as many U.S. dollars as you can. In addition to normal expenses and necessary capital reserves, the trading company will find a way to convert all the remaining money into U.S. dollars.

knife, and then transfer it to the account in Hong Kong. You can ask Yu Yang about this, he knows how to do this."

Luye explained.

"All of them?"

When A Fei heard this, he was immediately surprised and asked.

"Yes, all of them!" Lu Ye said with great certainty.

"Brother Ye, why is this? Our losses are not small by doing this." A Fei asked with some distress.

In international trade, choosing different currencies as settlement currencies will have a great impact on the transaction itself.

Just like the trading companies at this time, doing business with Russian businessmen on the other side, the currency for settlement of transactions was basically either rubles or Chinese currency, with only a small amount of U.S. dollars. When settling in rubles or Chinese currency, only the banks of the two countries were needed.

Just do point-to-point settlement.

But once in the middle, a third currency emerged, which was the U.S. dollar.

Then the banks of the three countries are required to conduct currency settlement. As the US dollar is the global settlement currency, a commission, or handling fee, is often charged during settlement. It is usually between 1 and 0.000, which is invisible.

Winning is a big expense.

And countries like Russia and the beautiful country are in a confrontational position on a certain level. The U.S. knives they reserve are themselves very limited. If they want to settle trade with U.S. knives, they must

Giving a certain advantage in price is enough to attract merchants from the other side, which will undoubtedly result in a huge loss.

Lu Ye took the phone and said seriously: "A Fei, the trading company in Suihe can still make quick money for a few years, but you have to know that this kind of environment will not exist for long, and Russia can only disintegrate."

Times, such opportunities will gradually disappear due to Russia's gradual recovery. Although such a thing will not happen in a few years, we cannot wait until the last moment."

"Trust my judgment, don't care about the immediate short-term interests, convert all your money into dollars, and in a few years, we will do something big together."

On the other end of the phone, A Fei was silent.

It's easy to go up the mountain but hard to go down. Ah Fei has paid a lot for the trading company, but now Lu Ye is hoarding beautiful knives as if it would make him break his arm. This will inevitably cause a serious damage to the vitality of the trading company.

After a long time, A Fei said: "I know Brother Ye, I will do what you say."

Hearing this, Lu Zhizi was relieved a lot: "A Fei, after four years, I will give you a bigger trading company."

Putting away the phone, Ah Fei looked very ugly. He didn't understand why Lu Ye did this. Before, Lu Ye asked him to hoard some U.S. knives. He could still understand, buy production lines, research and development equipment, etc.

Everyone can use American swords, but now Lu Ye wants to exchange all the profits for American swords and hoard them instead of continuing to expand the business scale. This move is really beyond the understanding of Ah Fei.

Even if he didn’t understand, he didn’t understand, but A Fei still chose to carry out Lu Ye’s instructions seriously.

As a result, the originally good trading company suddenly changed its direction. If the other party can pay US dollars for trade settlement, then in the trading center, it can get a 10% discount.

The company's finance staff goes to the bank all day long, constantly making appointments to exchange U.S. dollars. There are even other trading companies that can buy goods from Ah Fei at a low price as long as they hold U.S. dollars.

Suddenly, there was quite a shock in the entire Suihe trade market. No one understood what A Fei was planning to do.

Yu Yang, who was far away in the Special Administrative Region, also didn't understand the purpose of Lu Ye's move, because the people who received the order to hoard US dollars were both A Fei and Yu Yang.

Compared to A Fei's trading company, it is much easier for Yu Yang to exchange U.S. dollars here. On the other side is the port city. Yu Yang only needs to transfer funds to the company in the port city through a few transactions, and then he can easily do so in the port city.

It’s time to exchange for a dollar bill.

August is the busiest month in Luye.

The basic construction of Luancheng University has been completed, and the final partial decoration work is currently underway. The school's teaching team has also moved in and begun teaching preparations for the first semester since the school was founded.

As the number one leader of the school, Luye has to make decisions on many things.

With the cooperation of the Labor and Employment Administration, the recruitment work of p Aixue Electronics Factory has successfully completed the recruitment of 1,200 people. Now these people have all completed the pre-job training for new employees and started to work in the factory.

The third production line has also been put into operation and has begun mass production of the second generation portable learning machine. Almost all the goods are produced on the same day and will be shipped to various distribution outlets across the country on the same day.

The sales procedures for the new products have all been completed, and Shen Limin has also successfully purchased the rights to use the characters in "Six Gods", "Chibi Maruko-chan" and many other cartoons.

The price of the second generation portable learning machine has also been increased to the national unified price of 999 yuan.

We are also doing this vigorous promotion, and all new TV commercials have been replaced with second-generation products and are being played in turn.

Luye spent almost the entire month of August on the run.

But such busyness is obviously very worthwhile. The second generation portable learning machine has been on the rise since it went on sale.

The exquisite cartoon patterns, the convenience of being able to stay wherever you go, and the novel sense of technology all attract students.

If anyone can own such a learning machine, he will suddenly become the brightest among the students and be surrounded by the envious eyes of other students.

The product sells very quickly, and the price of 999 is not cheap in this era. But even with such a high price, new products are still sold out when they are launched.

Distributors from all over the country rush to the factory to rush for goods. This kind of thing is painful and happy at the same time.

In the office, Lu Ye put down the sales report in his hand and asked Feng Guoxing excitedly.

"Old Feng, how about it? Can the production speed be increased by one point?"

When Feng Guoxing heard this, he shook his head helplessly: "It's difficult. I have sent all the best workers to the third production line. It is also a three-shift production. Now it is the most effective. Without adding another production line

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for us to improve productivity."

"That's it."

"Far water cannot quench local thirst. The third line has just been added. Even if the production line is temporarily introduced now, without skilled workers, it will be difficult to effectively increase production."

When Lu Ye heard this, he shook his head secretly and said.

I picked up the sales reports for the past few months again and compared the sales of the first-generation learning machine over the past few months.

The popularity of the second-generation learning machines has, to a certain extent, also boosted the sales of the first-generation learning machines. After all, the price gap is still relatively large. Many parents cannot afford the second-generation portable ones, so they simply buy the first-generation ones for their children.

Yes, they are all learning machines of the same brand anyway. In their opinion, if it is inconvenient to carry, the difference should not be big.

"Old Shen, what's the inventory situation of the first-generation learning machine?" Luye asked.

After hearing this, Shen Limin replied: "The inventory situation is good, enough to support half a month's sales."

With Shen Limin's answer, Lu's ambitions were grounded, and he said to Feng Guoxing: "In this way, you adjust the production rationing of the first and first lines, take out half of the productivity, and invest it in the production of the second generation learning machine."

"That's okay." Feng Guoxing heard this and thought for a while.

No matter what, improving productivity is the key. Taking advantage of the current hot opportunity, producing more and selling more is the way to go.

In this era, Luye does not dare to engage in hunger marketing easily.

Because if he does that, there is a great possibility that in the next few months, the second generation learning machine will be copied by people down to their pants, and then a large number of imitations will appear.

, come and compete with him for the market.

"Old Feng, all production matters are dependent on you. You have to endure it. If you can let others do the work, don't do it yourself. You can take charge of the overall situation from behind. You must pay more attention to rest."

Seeing the tired look on Feng Guoxing's face, Lu Ye was really worried, fearing that Old Feng might not be able to withstand it and his body would collapse again due to fatigue.

However, he and Shen Limin had no way to get involved in production matters. At such a critical moment, even if he wanted to let Feng Guoxing take a long vacation, it was impossible.

"I'm fine. The third line has just been installed, and the workers are not yet skilled enough in the operation. Now the production pressure is high, so I have to keep an eye on it."

p,

Feng Guoxiang is a standard workaholic, and his dedication to the production line is far beyond ordinary people. Since he came to the electronics factory and served as the deputy director in charge of production, he has worked almost 24 hours a day.

"After you finish this work, Lao Feng, Lao Shen, you guys can take a big vacation together, choose a good place to go out and have fun, and the factory will reimburse all the expenses." Lu Ye looked at the two of them and said.

Feng Guoxing and Shen Limin are different from other ministers. The two of them receive dividends themselves. The factory has been booming and making a lot of money in the past few years, and they can also share large amounts of dividends every year.

Over the past few years, their net worth has already exceeded one million, approaching the ranks of multi-millionaires.

Therefore, Lu Ye did not mention bonuses or anything like that, but said that the two of them should have a good vacation and rest.

"It's better to be busy. In the past, the electromechanical factory was half-dead, but it was not busy, but in the end it was the workers who suffered. The busier our factory is, the more wages the workers will earn, so I am happy." Feng Guoxing laughed, Said in a deep voice.

"After all these years, you still have the same temper. We are all this old, but we are no younger than young men. We need to be more careful." Shen Limin said to Feng Guoxing.

"I'm fine. Just go back and take a nap. You don't have to worry."
