The old Chinese doctor in the courtyard

Chapter 849: Facing Difficulties (Part )

"Dad, if you come back now, you won't be able to get out."

Li Shengli knew what Father Du was thinking, but Du Jiaoyang really couldn't come back now.

In four or five years, there may be an opportunity, but for Li Shengli, after more than ten years, when the north falls, it will be the time for Du Jiaoyang to come back.

“Let’s put this matter aside for now, I really don’t have enough energy to take care of too much right now.

I just hope you have more bottom lines when doing things, and do less of those bottomless things in Southeast Asia.

In this way, there will be no end in the future..."

Li Shengli really didn't agree with what Father Du said that there was no way to end it, so he directly replied:

"Dad, I don't see that those people outside can't put an end to it. Our blood debt back then must be recovered one by one, and the first one is on the island.

We all can't live a good life, so why can they live a good life?

By harming us?

That won't work!
So what happens if things are done?
Then we can just go back to China. Once the door is closed, what do the things outside have to do with us?
What can they do to me?

Door knocking?

Then the old and new accounts will be settled together, and all will be wiped out in one battle..."

Hearing that the wise son-in-law was getting more and more exaggerated, Father Du pinched his eyebrows and waved his hand to interrupt him.

“It’s too early to say that, let’s look at the present first.

Nowadays, the bottleneck of steel energy or raw materials can be seen. How to break this situation? "

The material company of the steel rolling mill in Jinmen Port allowed Du and others to see a way to break through the shackles in front of them.

Li Shengli could roughly guess what Father Du was thinking, but his answer was destined to disappoint him.

“Dad, we can only wait for development to break the situation.

For a big country like ours, energy, resources and food must not be held in the hands of others.

We must build what we can build ourselves, and what we cannot build we must establish import channels.

But importing is definitely not possible now. The price difference between domestic and foreign goods is there. Importing means that the price of domestic goods will increase.

When the price of goods increases, the benefits of workers will also increase.

Without the profits brought by the market, we would not be able to significantly increase workers' wages.

A worker's monthly salary of ten yuan is an unbearable burden for us.

The price increase brought by imported raw materials has increased exponentially.

At this time, we can only overcome all difficulties and fend for ourselves! "

Hearing what his virtuous son-in-law Li Shengli said, Father Du also sighed heavily.

They also recognize the so-called scissors difference between industry and agriculture.

The current discussion above is not about one or two companies, but several companies above three.

Some want to maintain the status quo, some want to seek development, some want to further liberalize, and some support all three.

Today, Mr. Du is regarded by many as a conservative radical. He is not only radical but also radical in terms of developing light industry and small handicrafts and purifying them.

But when it comes to the tightness of the market, Mr. Du is very tight on it.

This has led to his somewhat unflattering situation, but there are also many people who support Lao Du.

There are many things from high to low, many things, between difficult and long, most choices are simple and radical.

For example, the resource bottleneck we are currently facing, the material company of the steel rolling mill is a very good pilot for everyone.

"Shengli, if we follow the price from Jinmen Material Company, we can still give it a try."

Hearing that Mr. Du said something he shouldn't have said on behalf of some people, Li Shengli smiled helplessly and said:
"dad!

The material company in Jinmen Port is just a special case of capital.

Our price to the port is only 60% of the domestic scrap recycling price.

In addition to 60%, Jiaoyang provided subsidies.

The boat is considered your own, and so are the channels.

If these costs are included, and then compared with the international price, on top of the domestic scrap price, plus an additional 30 to 50%, the price will be acceptable to both parties.

The source of goods has nothing to do with pricing. Profit is actually the pursuit of capital.

Looking at the general ledger now, Jiaoyang's side is only maintaining capital. If we look at the detailed accounts, each ship will actually lose more than one million US dollars.

Based on the current average number of five to six large and small ships arriving at the port every day, this amounts to less than US$2 billion a year.

If profits are also included, the loss per day amounts to 20 to 30 million US dollars.

The profits of billions of dollars a year are actually wasted.

When some accounts are carefully calculated, a few billions may be just the baseline, and may even be doubled again.

And this is also a demonstration of the power of capital.

In many cases, plundering does not require a knife or a gun.

By collecting rags, we can also plunder other people's previous accumulations.

It’s just that this kind of plunder requires paying a certain price, such as the environment and the health of workers. "

Listening to the wise son-in-law's calculation, Father Du's brows couldn't help but frown even more.

According to the statistics from Jinmen Port, there are only fifty or sixty ships arriving at the port for shipment every month.

Today's steel rolling mill Jinmen Materials Company is also a local behemoth.

Since last summer, they have been leasing idle military camps and wasteland on a large scale to reserve supplies.

Now it seems that more than half of the supplies have been reserved. Excluding the demand from the steel rolling mill, I am afraid that more than half of the goods have been deliberately hoarded.

"Sheng Li, we accept this account.

Isn't the hoarding of supplies in Jinmen a bit excessive? "

Before the purpose of the good son-in-law was clear, Father Du was not in a hurry to attack.

In many things, my good son-in-law is not as bad as he says.

Father Du has thought about the consequences of seeking externally, but he is also worried about seeking internally.

But whether it is bad or not is ultimately the evaluation of the younger generation by the elders. The external perception of a good son-in-law must be determined based on the results of his work.

“Dad, because this deal was handled by Jiaoyang from outside.

Although for the sake of justice, we can make no money or make less money.

But you shouldn’t lose money.

Nowadays, the detailed calculation of accounts is actually not in line with the nature of capital to pursue profit.

Therefore, I made my own decision and asked Li Huaide to build a large number of warehouses near Jinmen.

Most of the piles in the warehouse are all kinds of metal scraps, which gives you some confidence.

After accumulating in the rest of the year, the total amount of materials is probably between one hundred and less than two million tons.

As an emergency material, it should be able to last for a while. In this way, as long as we grasp the coal reserves, we can solve the coal burning emergency.

But this is just an emergency measure. To really solve the problem, we still need to put our heads down and work hard and start some big projects..."

Hearing that he had indeed misunderstood his virtuous son-in-law, Father Du let out another sigh.

The power of capital is so terrifying. My daughter has only been out for a few years and has already reached such a scale.

Thinking of the economic intelligence in the hands of his son-in-law Li Shengli, Old Man Du's eyes narrowed.

It seems that many things cannot be done behind closed doors, but the dispatch of economic spies to foreign countries is difficult to explain openly.

Wanting to deepen the entanglement with his daughter, Father Du didn't know what to do.

Now my daughter's capital abroad has developed into a complete monster.

Domestically, she can still do things with the aim of not making money, but the feedback from abroad is that for a little bit of land, her capital can kill people.

In the American ginseng industry in Northern Wisconsin, my daughter is also doing very well. This is also her first business as a prominent figure, and it can be regarded as a business based on the other side of the ocean.

But under the guise, those who obey me prosper and those who go against me perish. In the process of acquiring the land, my daughter Du Juan used too many inappropriate methods.

In just three to five years, he became the largest landowner in the north. In the eyes of Mr. Du, it was an unforgivable crime.

The daughter and son-in-law's requests for help touched too many of Du's bottom lines, but even if they did, Lao Du was beyond his reach.

"You did not turn the port city into a weapons market, which is also the bottom line of our tolerance.

Move away, move to Southeast Asia, MI6 people, don't make it difficult for them to live without seeing dead people or corpses.

Gui Lao has already negotiated with us through unofficial channels. We are losing dozens of people a year, which is hard to talk about.

Also, do we have to ask outsiders like this? "

In the report, Father Du was already a little shocked when faced with the blood created by his daughter and son-in-law using capital.

Going to the field will only lead to more cruel blood. The process of seeking help from the outside world. Father Du has seen too much in this land.

Father Du didn't agree with this kind of external request. If it wasn't really beyond his reach, he would definitely capture his daughter Du Juan.

“Dad, we can still be barely self-sufficient in energy and minerals.

But as the market develops, the gap will inevitably become larger and larger.

Supply and demand are real in the market.

The factory has no energy and mineral resources. If it wants to maintain production, it will definitely do everything possible to purchase these raw materials.

We have also experienced imbalances in supply and demand and skyrocketing prices.

Industrial and mining enterprises cannot be shut down.

But what if people’s food rations are involved?
There are more and more people, and the demand for food rations is increasing. If industry cannot keep up, agriculture will provide less and less feedback.

This is an endless cycle. Besides tightening belts and controlling population, the best way is to resort to external means.

When it comes to our own survival, we have to use our strength to speak for ourselves at this time.

Sometimes you can get stuck in my neck without saying whether you have me or not.

What I want, but you have no ability to protect, is actually my thing, and this makes sense.

What's more, these things are related to our wealth and life for us.

Again, if you give me everything, it’s easy to say, but if you don’t, we just have to think about it ourselves..."

Listening to the wise son-in-law's reasoning, Father Du sighed softly. Although the words didn't sound good, the truth was real.

Thinking about some of his early experiences, he still couldn't accept this kind of elation.

The reason is very simple. There are some disasters that he doesn't want to see in others.

This is what is called don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you.

But when it comes to the life and death of one's own family, in Dad Du's opinion, it is better not to do it to others than to yourself.

Only those who have experienced war, or experienced the kind of suffering in the past, know the cruelty of war and the suffering.

When you are going through hardships, and you encounter a group of bastards who robbed your home, it would be even worse.

Looking at the road ahead from a distance and looking back, although Father Du doesn't quite agree with what the wise son-in-law said, some choices are indeed as the wise son-in-law said and have been decided long ago.

The seeds for many things have been planted, and now it’s just time to see the results.

As for the blood in the results, some old sayings are true. If you don't participate in some bureaus, you won't be killed. If you are killed, you can only say that you participated in a mess that you shouldn't be involved in.

Looking at the actions of the virtuous son-in-law Li Shengli and his daughter Du Jiaoyang, although they are not sons of men, most of them are people with old grudges.

Although some people are still disconnected from this place, the causes and consequences are clearly laid out there.

These things cannot be said to be what the daughter and son-in-law did wrong. It can only be said that others were at fault first, and the methods they chose were not very correct.

“Although the words are a bit exaggerated, they still make sense.

Okay, the latest problem on my side is just to face the difficulties, there is nothing I need to suggest.

On your side, going it alone has been clearly proposed.

I have an explanation for your contracting of Yaoshan.

Don't use your personal name, it's not good.

Change the contracting rights to the Chinese Medicine Correspondence School co-founded by you and Lao Lu.

In this way, many things will be easier to handle.

Your pilot project is also good. Some small handicraft industries should also be classified as correspondence schools.

There are some things that are really hard to talk about, so let’s put them under private names..."

Father Du's reminder to Li Shengli was both helpless and defensive.

The contracting of Yaoshan is not something that can be done just by talking.

It has just begun, but before contracting the medicine mountain, the trainees sent by Li Shengli also collaborated on many projects in villages near the medicine mountain.

First of all, there is one thing. Nowadays, many villages in various places cannot even afford their own small part of the contract fees.

Although Li Shengli said that he could advance the payment, it would be difficult to talk about many things if he paid in advance.

At the beginning of contracting the medicine mountain, Li Shengli asked the trainees to cooperate in setting up factories.

Such small factories and workshops also have ready-made experience to learn from.

Although there are some factories that lose money, but overall it is still very good.

"Dad, I listen to you on this matter.

It just so happens that there are a number of small factories and workshops down there that have not been successful recently. I also want to go down there to sign the Yaoshan contract.

I've been out of town recently, so you have to pay attention to your health. It's still necessary to balance work and rest.

I am preparing a new batch of medicinal wine based on rice wine on the mountain.

The storage time of this kind of medicinal wine is very short. After you receive it, be sure not to drink it after it goes bad..."

Knowing that his father-in-law was about to chase away guests again, Li Shengli quickly told the story about the medicinal wine, and then got up and left the Du family's small building...
