Siheyuan: Since 51

Another three minutes passed.

Lucian remained motionless, maintaining his bowing posture.

Lin Zhiyuan was surprised and alert.

It’s so powerful. He wants to kill me in his heart, but he looks humble on the surface.

……

"Okay, I forgive you. Two hundred million pieces. The price remains the same. Payment in gold."

As he spoke, Lin Zhiyuan yawned deliberately.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your generosity."

Lucian nodded again, then sat down again, hesitated for a moment, and spoke again.

"Mr. Lin, can you accommodate the payment method? As you know, gold reserves are related to economic stability."

Lin Zhiyuan continued tapping his knees with the tip of his right hand and raised his eyebrows to signal.

"Tell me, how would you like to pay?"

Lucian pursed his lips and suggested tentatively.

"How about barter? Various raw materials, including oil, minerals, etc. We also have assets in Africa, which can also be transferred at a low price... Or, we can accept overseas students, or even industrial products, such as cars and radios..."

After listening patiently, Lin Zhiyuan couldn't make up his mind.

Are African assets a trap?

The independence of colonies has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, I'm afraid they have no good intentions!

By the way, it seems that sir is contacting the third-party companies, but I don’t know if it will be of any use?

As for industrial products, it is nothing more than solving the trade deficit and reverse dumping.

After a long pause, he slowly opened his mouth.

"Let me think about it for a few days. I'll accept the deal. The payment method will wait."

"it is good."

Lucian didn't say much, he knew very well in his heart that the current situation of the Gallic rooster was somewhat similar to that of the rabbit.

The rabbit refuses the bear's interference, and the Gallic rooster refuses the beautiful garrison.

The rabbit is seeking revival in the cracks, and the Gallic rooster also wants to get rid of the influence of Big Beauty and John Bull.

The only difference is that rabbits are more aggressive.

Oh, vast land is so important!

If it were not for this, we would not have settled for the second best and thought of becoming the European resale center.

……

After finishing the serious business, Lin Zhiyuan looked depressed.

Seeing this, Solovikov and Lucian did not stay long. They chatted casually for a few minutes and left in a hurry.

After seeing them off, I returned to the office.

Pan Fei was tidying up the coffee table while Lin Zhiyuan was smoking and thinking.

About five minutes.

"Xiao Pan, organize the cooperation into documents and report to Mr. and the God of Wealth's office to see if they have any instructions."

At this point, Lin Zhiyuan lit a cigarette, still a little worried, and analyzed it in detail.

“The main work of the Special Economic Bureau is focused on light industry. Most of the raw materials are available at home, and as for mineral resources, it is mainly up to them.

The African assets that Lucian mentioned are probably not simple and involve too many things, so I will leave it to them to decide.

As for industrial products, just like tractors, they are easily controlled, and even affect independent research and development at home. There is also the trade surplus and deficit that needs attention..."

Pan Fei finished recording, not wanting to miss any learning opportunity, and looked up to ask, "Director Lin, does the trade surplus or deficit have a big impact?"

Lin Zhiyuan suddenly had an idea and remembered that in his previous life, he read a book called "Island Economics" to pass the time.

The more I read, the more confused I became. Now, looking back, I can relate to what happened and analyze each one of them, and I have a deep understanding of them.

He secretly sorted out his thoughts and waved his hand to give orders.

"Go, get your notebook and pen ready, I'll teach you about economics."

Pan Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, went away in a hurry, and came back in less than a minute.

There were two more people following behind, Xu Damao and Li Yujiang.

One sheep is to be driven away, two sheep are to be let go. Lin Zhiyuan didn't care and went straight to class.

"There is a primitive island where the residents make a living by catching fish with their bare hands. They only catch one fish a day, which is just enough for them to eat."

"Until one day, one of them, let's call him Zhang San, felt that he was either catching fish or on his way to catch fish every day. If he could increase the amount of fish he caught every day, he would have more time to enjoy life."

"After three days of starvation, Zhang San used grass to weave ropes and used them to make a net. A crude version of the fishing net was born. As a result, he was able to catch two fish in one morning... This is technology."

"Make another net, and invite Li Si to join the team at the cost of two fish a day. Zhang San does nothing, and Li Si hands over two fish every day... This is capital."

"As more people joined, the island residents had more free time. Wang Wu built a thatched house, Zhao Liu made a flatbed cart, and Sun Qi made linen clothes and straw sandals, and they sold them to each other... This is the economy."

“It was inconvenient for residents to barter, so fish became a medium of exchange… it was money.”

"When residents have too many fish at home, someone builds a warehouse to help store them... that's the bank."

……

I have to say that the overall structure of "Island Economics" is clear and easy to understand, starting from the birth of the economy, inflation, currency depreciation, extending to futures, dumping and anti-dumping, economic warfare...

Lin Zhiyuan spoke in detail and the three of them were fascinated.

Pan Fei took notes very quickly, but Xu Damao and Li Yujiang couldn't keep up and stopped taking notes long ago.

Before I knew it, it was already late at night.

After Lin Zhiyuan finished speaking, he lit a cigarette and asked with a smile, "Did you understand everything?"

Xu Damao stared and muttered to himself.

"Is this the economy? It's so complicated."

Li Yujiang nodded vigorously and agreed.

"Indeed, I had never thought about it before, but after listening to Director Lin's explanation, I realized that the economy is so important."

Less than halfway through, Pan Fei ran out of notebooks. Not daring to delay, he requisitioned the notebooks of Xu and Li.

Looking at the three notebooks in front of him, he grinned and laughed.

"Director Lin, this class is so exciting. I will definitely review it carefully."

Xu Damao rolled his eyes and raised his eyebrows.

"Um, Brother Pan, when you have sorted out your notes, can you let me take a look?"

Li Yujiang immediately followed, "And me."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and said unhappily, "Okay, it's already late at night, pack up and get off work quickly."

Xu Damao waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhiyuan, please go back. I'll just stay in the office for one night, and it will be troublesome to go back to the courtyard."

Li Yujiang also nodded, "Yes, yes, Director Lin, my family should have gone to bed early, so I won't go back."

Pan Fei didn't know what he was thinking about, and shook his head, "Me too."

"Okay, whatever you want."

After Lin Zhiyuan left, Pan Fei waved his hand.

"My two brothers, this is definitely a guide to economic development. Let's go and sort it out."

……

The next day, early morning.

After finishing his breakfast, the gentleman walked into the study. As soon as he sat down, he saw Zhao Maofeng walking slowly towards him with a thick stack of documents in his arms. He couldn't help but chuckle.

"So much work today? Looks like you went to bed early last night."

Zhao Maofeng came to the desk, slowly put down the document, and shook his head.

"Sir, this is the document submitted by the Special Economics Bureau in the early morning. We are still sorting out today's work."

"what?"

The gentleman frowned slightly and asked, "So many? What's going on in the Special Economics Bureau recently?"

Zhao Maofeng remembered something and spoke quickly.

"Oh, by the way, Xiao Pan said that the first few sheets are cooperation reports, and the last few hundred sheets are a summary of Zhiyuan's notes from the class he gave them last night. He thought it was very important, so he sorted them out and handed them in together."

The teacher raised his eyebrows slightly, his interest increased, "Really? Zhiyuan is in class. I'd like to take a closer look."
