"That's right! Buy it so cheaply, antiques from prosperous times, gold and silver from troubled times, preserve their value!" Tang Yaowen looked at Sister Kui with his dark eyes and said.
"That's a good idea." Mo Hongying looked at him with a smile and said, "I'm leaving." She opened the car door and sat in.
Mo Hongying looked expressionlessly at the gray sky outside the car window. Simply put, the content of the "Silver Act" is to increase the price of silver and increase America's silver reserves.
The United States is now the largest silver-producing country, but due to the economic crisis, the price of silver has been falling.
The passage of the Silver Act will ensure that by 35 years, the price of silver will reach $1.29, and the U.S. silver reserves will reach one-third of the gold reserves.
For this reason, the United States began to purchase large amounts of silver around the world, purchasing 24 million ounces of silver in one year. This is equivalent to the annual silver production of the United States.
The international market also responded quickly. The futures price of silver rose from 18 pence to 33 pence in a short period of time, almost doubling.
People have said that this bill does not target the current Republic of China.
But everyone knows that it has been more than 600 years since the Ming Dynasty began to list silver as a legal settlement currency.
Doesn’t your conscience hurt when you say this?
It is clear that it is aimed at the Republic of China.
There are more than ten kinds of popular silver coins on the market now, and Yuan Datou, Sun Xiaotou and Yingyang are all in circulation.
These silver coins were of high quality. A one-yuan Yuan Datou contained 0.75 ounces of silver. When international silver prices rose, silver began to flow out rapidly.
Domestic foreign banks, speculators and compradors rushed over like sharks after smelling blood.
They tried every means to transport silver to the United States.
If it doesn't work openly, use covert methods; if it doesn't work openly, use smuggling.
If you don’t think about silver anymore, let’s think about the impact on industry and commerce after the Silver Act!
It is said that the old China was so poor and weak that it could not even produce matchbox nails and had to import them from abroad.
In fact, 34 years ago, we could produce matches and nails. However, with the passage of the Silver Act, we can no longer produce matchboxes and nails.
The market is flooded with imported matches and nails.
The renovation of flour machines has been quite successful, and the textile machines need to be sped up.
How much can be saved?
Over the next year or so, Mo Hongying led the technicians to upgrade the machines in various local factories.
During this time, I also developed my skills as a technician and got to know machines from various countries.
The matter of manufacturing machine tools also started to take action with the permit issued by the above.
Of course, the newspapers were even more lively. This piece of writing was so clever and bad-mouthing that it could trample Mo Hongying into the mud, wishing that she would never be able to stand up again.
Those who are optimistic can only give dry encouragement because they have not seen the real thing! Even if it is made, can its performance be comparable to imported ones?
In short, the fight was very lively, and of course the optimistic ones were at a disadvantage.
Interestingly, no one cared that she was a woman, and no one mentioned her origins.
It seems that we also rely on our strength to speak for itself. Mo Hongying put down the newspaper in her hand.
&*&
Mo Hongying got up and went to the interview workshop. Hu Tiewa stood at the door and saw her, and immediately greeted her.
After several expansions, the team of technicians has expanded a lot.
"How is it?" Mo Hongying looked at him with her dark eyes and said.
"The one we caught is from another factory." Hu Tiewa whispered, "I didn't expose him, I just asked him to go back and wait for notification. This person was recognized by the children running on the street."
"Since the child has made meritorious deeds, he cannot let others down." Mo Hongying looked at her with bright eyes and said.
"Reward him with a big roast duck! Wear a cotton coat in winter. Don't look at the heat now. It's cold today! It's already the beginning of autumn. In summer, anything can be done, even shirtless." Hu Tiewa said with a smile, "Roast duck , go home and eat together, wear cotton-padded clothes to keep warm, and have a outer cover, so it’s not easy to see.”
"Yeah!" Mo Hongying nodded sharply, "That's very thoughtful."
It has been a pleasure working with the children these past two years!
"There are three people who are not sure." Hu Tiewa pointed to the three men sitting on the bench and said, "They have family members to testify, but because they fled from the Northeast to North China, and then fled from North China, the brothers did not The method proves it." Black eyes looked directly at him and said, "One is a skilled worker who has worked in a similar factory. The other is a student, not blind. There is also a man wearing a suit and leather shoes. We are recruiting technicians. , it’s incompatible with us!”
"I can't judge anymore." Hu Tiewa looked at her worriedly and said, after thinking for a while, she added, "I'm afraid that the Japanese devils will sneak in and escape from the Northeast to North China. Now life in North China is not easy, and they came all the way south. We don't want to What a good judgment!”
Mo Hongying nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
"If that doesn't work, ask them to take off their pants." Hu Tiewa's eyes suddenly lit up.
"If you use this method once, you can't use it a second time." Mo Hongying looked at him funny and said, "I'm not a fool. Since I'm a spy, I will do it flawlessly." She pursed her lips. He said, "Let's take a shower here, they have already prepared it."
"What should we do?" Hu Tiewa frowned and looked at her and said.
"Bring them to see me." Mo Hongying narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at them.
"Hey!" Hu Tiewa responded happily.
&*&
Mo Hongying met the three of them in the empty warehouse next door. A lot of warehouses had been built that day. In these turbulent years, fighting started at any time.
Raw materials must be well stocked, and it is better to have more than less, just in case.
As for the produced products, they are taken away directly after they come off the production line.
Therefore, the product warehouse is empty, and it is not generally cold in this weather.
Mo Hongying put down the information in her hand and looked at the skilled worker who was brought in. Zhang Linghai
He was around thirty, with an unshaven beard and tattered clothes. He looked at Mo Hongying with some embarrassment. "Hello, Sister Kui."
"Zhang Linghai." Mo Hongying looked him up and down and said.
"Yes!" Zhang Linghai bowed slightly and said.
"Haven't other factories tried this?" Mo Hongying looked at him calmly and asked.
"No, I heard that your treatment is the best." Zhang Linghai glanced at her secretly and whispered, "No, I'll try another factory."
"Are you the only one who escaped?" Mo Hongying asked after hearing this.
Zhang Linghai looked at her in confusion and quickly replied, "Our whole family escaped. I, my wife, and we have two children."
"Where are the elders?" Mo Hongying raised her eyebrows slightly and asked.
"My father, my mother, my relatives and friends were all killed by the Japanese." Zhang Linghai said sadly and with red eyes. (End of chapter)
