Fang Xiaoyu gestured and patiently explained to Zhang Haiyang: "In other words, whoever dares to start a war first may become the target of other countries' catharsis. They will consume the excess arms on us and reap the benefits from us.
.The scale of this economic crisis is too large. All countries have begun to strengthen their military equipment. A few months ago, all countries have begun to expand their military forces. The Saar Empire doubled its army, and the Nantes Empire announced that it would change the two-year conscript system to three-year
, expanding the army to more than 800,000. The Yaman Empire began to train 500,000 reserve troops, while the Cossack Empire directly turned two million troops into three million. The Kingdom of Habvsburg and Sardin
The Grand Duchy also increased the army by 50%.
Fang Xiaoyu paused and said: "This is only the army, and the competition in the navy is also fierce. Since the Saar Empire bought the steam turbine technology, it immediately announced the construction of four "Dreadnought" class battleships that were the same as the Chinese ships.
The Man Empire relied on its own improvements to make the three-expanded steam engine barely meet the requirements. They immediately started construction of the same four battleships. It is said that even the Kingdom of Habvsburg, the Grand Duchy of Sardinia and the Cossack Empire began to build pre-built.
The hull, when we sell the steam turbine technology to them next year, we will prepare to load the hull and build a new type of battleship."
After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's introduction to the development of navies in various countries, Liu Junguo smiled and said, "The design of this warship of the young master is really strong. It is said that military experts from various countries in the Western Continent have collectively called this type of warship Chinese ships, and they also said that China
Ships are epoch-making battleships, which make all battleships built before become scrap iron and outdated products."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Of course. I stimulated them to build battleships like that to bait them and let them build more outdated products. But don't forget what I told you, the Chinese ship is also just bait, we still have it.
Better.
Zhang Haiyang smiled and said, "I understand what the young master means. Now we must tolerate it and not let others focus their attention on us."
Liu Junguo nodded and said, "Yes, we have to wait until they are exhausted before taking action."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Look at what you said, it seems that they have started fighting. Please wait patiently. I guess I can't fight within three years. However, such an arms race will be beneficial to us. We will wait until next year.
The World Expo opened, and I will hold a Chinese military expo at the same time to heat up their arms, and I guess our weapons will be sold out."
After returning from the General Staff, Fang Xiaoyu found that Wu Feng was waiting for him. When he saw Fang Xiaoyu coming back, Wu Feng quickly came up to greet him. Seeing Wu Feng's face was frowning, Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "What's wrong with Brother Wu? Who owes you money?
Don't you return it?"
Wu Feng said: "It would be great if anyone owes me money. The problem is that no one owes me money now."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Who is Brother Wu angry with? Tell me about it."
Wu Feng said: "I'm not angry, I'm worried. Now the economies of various countries are getting more and more recession. Although the young master can escape from customs and transport our goods to other countries without knowing it, their domestic purchasing power is getting higher and higher.
The lower the price, our goods are also difficult to sell. Our Chinese Consortium is an extroverted enterprise, and more than 70% of the products must be exported. A few days ago, the young master asked me to support other small enterprises in China. Our Chinese
The burden of the consortium is really too heavy, I am really afraid that I can't hold on."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Brother Wu is complaining to me? I remember that last time I did such a big move in the business investment department, I should have made a lot of money. How could it be so difficult?"
Wu Feng said: "The guys from the business investment department did make a lot of money last time, and we also gained a lot, but the money we earned last time was replaced with cheap machinery and raw materials on the spot. We used these materials to convert the whole thing.
The production capacity of the consortium has more than doubled, but this makes our overcapacity problem even worse.”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Last time I did think a little bit intricate. At the beginning, I was delighted to make a big profit, but later I thought that it was impossible for those countries to exchange gold for such a large amount of banknotes, and once these
The country uses a large amount of money to print money and relies on inflation to alleviate the economic crisis. Our losses are too great. At that time, the factories in various countries went bankrupt in a large number of banks. The machines are very cheap. I will let you invest a lot of money in purchasing machines. With machines, you can use machines to invest a lot of money.
It naturally needs to be transported back, and it is naturally not enough to be kept there. Therefore, the Chinese consortium uses these machines to expand its production capacity."
Fang Xiaoyu glanced at Wu Feng and said, "Brother Wu, when you advised me not to expand my production capacity, I thought the war was coming soon. I thought that the larger our production capacity, the more we could make more money, so I insisted on doing it.
It is necessary to expand, but now it seems that the war in the Western Continent will take several years, so I have miscalculated it."
Wu Feng said: "Actually, we are not a problem of funds now. The Chinese consortium has always had sufficient funds. However, our goods cannot be sold now, and it will be a large amount of backlog, which will occupy a large amount of our funds. The more goods accumulate, our working capital will be
There will be fewer and fewer people. If such a vicious cycle continues, no amount of money will be enough."
Fang Xiaoyu touched his chin and walked around the house for a few times and suddenly asked, "How much liquidity does our consortium have?"
Wu Feng said: "There are about 9 billion yuan left. Since our investment in infrastructure has been reduced a lot during this period, the government no longer needs us to pay for money, and I dare not expand production capacity, so I have so much funds.
.”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Let's do this. I'm discussing with the East China Tour so that the government can squeeze out more funds. Let's stockpile the goods first."
Wu Feng said: "How to hoard?"
Fang Xiaoyu said: "You build more warehouses in your territory and on the east coast of the St. Martin Empire. I will set a range for you. If you hoard goods according to the scope, I will find a way to provide you with enough funds."
Wu Feng said: "What are you hoarding?"
Fang Xiaoyu said: "High-load trucks, food, clothing, ships, steel, daily necessities, and I will draw a certain range of arms and weapons for you. We will stock up on a large scale for everything that is needed by war, which will be useful in the future."
Wu Feng said: "Okay, I'll do it right away."
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Okay, let the consortium adjust its industrial structure. Those luxury goods and other things should be reduced as much as possible, and those things to be hoarded must be fully produced. Now our China Leader has achieved great development, industrial
It is only half the size of the Boston Empire. If we don’t hoard more materials in advance, our business will not be able to do with others in the war period.”
Wu Feng left, Fang Xiaoyu sighed and said, "Money, why are you so short of money? I can't understand it. I didn't lack money when I used to be when I didn't have money. Now the industry is getting bigger and bigger, and I am getting more and more
Money, but once you encounter something, you realize that you are getting short of money more and more.”
"That's because your business is getting bigger and bigger." A silver bell-like voice sounded behind Fang Xiaoyu. Fang Xiaoyu looked back and saw Xia Tingyun walking in from outside.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
Xia Tingyun walked up and pointed Fang Xiaoyu's forehead with her index finger and said, "I don't know how to go home every day. The General Staff has been gone for a day, and there is no one even to see him. After finally coming back, I talked to Wu Feng and I'm not finished.
I don't have time to eat."
Fang Xiaoyu touched his stomach and realized that he was very hungry. He smiled and said, "Now when you say that, I realized that I was indeed hungry. Let's go for lunch."
"What lunch?" Xia Tingyun smiled and said, "It's time for dinner now. It's really, I forgot the time when I get busy."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm really busy, let's go to have a meal."
Sitting at the dining table, Fang Xiaoyu was squeezing the rice into his mouth while thinking about his own thoughts. Wang Ling, who was standing beside him, put a piece of sweet and sour tenderloin into Fang Xiaoyu's bowl and said, "Look at it and eat it in a while.
.”
After saying that, he laughed at himself. Fang Xiaoyu recovered and smiled, "I have something to do, and I don't know what the food I eat tastes."
Xia Tingwei said: "What's wrong? Is there any problem with China Leader?"
Xia Tingyun said: "There is no problem with the Chinese leader. It seems that there is something wrong with the consortium. I heard from my husband that it seems that he is short of money?"
Fang Xiaoyu said: "It's nothing. The consortium still has a lot of funds. At worst, I'm borrowing some money from the bank and letting the government raise some funds. It's all right then."
Xia Tingwei said: "If the funds are tight, I can borrow some from my father."
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "Our Chinese consortium is short of funds, it's all over one billion. Besides, my father-in-law is fighting with the Cheng family. He needs money everywhere when he fights the war. He didn't lend me money.
I am already very grateful, but I dare to borrow it?" After hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, Xia Tingwei felt it was reasonable, so she didn't say anything.
Elena, who was standing beside her, suddenly asked, "Is there a lot of money? You can borrow money from our elves."
Fang Xiaoyu said in surprise: "Before the incorporation into the Chinese territory, weren't you elves, dwarves and goblins very poor? You have you become so rich in this way in just a few years?"
Elena said: "We are poor but never lack money."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "I can't understand this. Isn't it because I have no money? How could I be poor but not lack money?"
Elena picked up a braised fish section with chopsticks and said, "Just like this braised fish, no one can make it, can we use money to turn such delicious food out of thin air? What we call poverty is
We lack all kinds of materials necessary for life. All our three races are not very good at farming and cooking. Therefore, we have always been short of food and cannot make the daily necessities created by human society. This is what we call poverty.
As for money, all our races have lasted for a thousand years, not to mention that there are many minerals in the mountains and underground, and we still have precious metals or gems.
