After the excitement, everyone's emotions returned to calm!
Minister Xu coughed lightly, and then said: "Comrade Zhou Yang, I called you here today. In addition to telling you the situation in Persia, there are two main things I want to ask your opinion on!"
"Leader, you're welcome, please tell me if you have anything to say!" Zhou Yang said.
"The first thing is about the development plan of the Sickle Project for the next year. The importance of this matter is self-evident. Whether it is comrades in the ministry or Yan Gengdong, Xu Jingrong and others from Hong Kong Island, they are far behind in this regard. Far inferior to you, so you have to come forward to solve this matter!" Minister Xu said expectantly.
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Leader, you are wearing such a high hat. I can't be lazy even if I want to. In that case, let me tell you what I think!"
"The Sickle Project is about to enter its third year. After these two years of development, the team with Yuanwei Company as the core has established a firm foothold on Hong Kong Island and has made its own mark in the two major industries of pharmaceutical production, sales and investment. Fame, it can be said that the entire plan has successfully taken its first step, and all members participating in this plan have also left the novice stage.”
"So the task in the next stage is to get off your butt and work hard to promote the rapid development of the entire plan. Before that, we set a small goal for the entire plan!"
Minister Xu immediately asked: "What small goal?"
"The planned total assets exceed 5 billion US dollars, and the country will pay 1 billion in foreign exchange annually!" Zhou Yang said in a shocking way.
"hiss!"
Everyone present was shocked!
What kind of small goal is this? Is this a five-year plan?
You must know that the current annual GDP of the country, converted into US dollars, is only 143.7 billion US dollars. Your plan is to increase the assets to 5 billion US dollars. Isn't this a fantasy?
Then there is the fact that the country pays US$1 billion in foreign exchange every year, which is a bit staggering.
We must know that the country’s foreign exchange reserves last year were 167 million U.S. dollars, and the foreign exchange planned to be handed over by the Sickle Project was more than 400 million U.S. dollars. This year, it will reach 1 billion U.S. dollars. Is this possible?
After the shock, Minister Xu frowned and said, "Comrade Zhou Yang, is your small goal a bit too big? Can it be achieved?"
"It's not a big problem!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "The total assets of the Scythe Project are now around 2.4 billion U.S. dollars. After subtracting the portion turned over to the country, there is almost 2 billion left. It is only 3 billion away from the target of 5 billion. The gap is not big!"
Only 3 billion...not a big difference...
Everyone, including Minister Xu, was stunned by Zhou Yang's words. They didn't know how to describe their mood at this time.
This is 3 billion, and it’s a beautiful sword. Why do you say it so lightly in this person’s mouth!
Think about it, in order to get more foreign exchange for the country over the years, the entire Ministry of Commerce has been extremely busy. Only they know the hardships.
Just when everyone was silent, Zhou Yang's voice rang in his ears again: "This is what I think about the plan for the 1979 Scythe Project. First, we must continue to tap into the potential of the pharmaceutical business, especially atorvastatin. As well as the market potential of the little blue pill, these two drugs can only be said to have initially opened up the market, and they are still far from peak sales!"
"At the same time, we will continue to launch new drugs to increase Yuanwei's new profit growth points..."
Before he finished speaking, Minister Xu asked expectantly: "Comrade Zhou Yang, have you developed any new drugs over there?"
"Yes, we have indeed developed a new drug, and another one is about to achieve a breakthrough. Once there are no problems in clinical trials, it can be handed over to Hong Kong Island for operation!" Zhou Yang said truthfully.
“What disease does the new drug treat, and what is the market prospect?”
"Birth control pills!"
Minister Xu: @#￥%……
Vice Minister Yang:! @#￥5@#￥
Lu Zhengjun:! @#￥%
Seeing the confused expressions on everyone's faces, Zhou Yang smiled and said again: "Contraceptive pills are very popular in the foreign medical field, even no worse than the little blue pill. It is conservatively estimated that this kind of medicine can be used for at least a year. Wei Company’s revenue will increase by US$300 to US$500 million!”
Minister Xu's eyes lit up and he said immediately: "This has to be done!"
Lu Zhengjun said with a smile: "Old Zhou, why do you keep focusing on things in bed? You just gave men that little blue pill, and then you gave women this contraceptive pill." Yao, you are going to catch all the men and women in one fell swoop!"
Hearing this, the eyes of other people in the room also focused on Zhou Yang.
However, Zhou Yang said calmly: "It's not that I want to focus on things on the bed, it's mainly because this thing makes money fast!"
Before everyone could react, Zhou Yang changed his voice and said, "Do you know what is the fastest way to make money in the world?"
"Trading opium!"
"Open a casino!"
"Open a bank..."
Zhou Yang shook his head and said: "What you are talking about is relatively one-sided. In fact, the most profitable business is the addictive economy, such as pornography, gambling, drugs, and tobacco, alcohol, sugar, etc. As long as it is one of these, it will definitely You can make money, no exception!”
"But we certainly cannot engage in those industries that are explicitly prohibited. In other industries, we arrived too late and can only create a new addictive economic model. Among all addictive economies, convenience is the most addictive. It’s something between men and women, so..."
Before Zhou Yang could finish speaking, Lu Zhengjun continued: "So you are feeding men a lot of little blue pills while you are giving birth control pills to women?"
Zhou Yang immediately glared at him and said, "What we do is a legitimate business. Why do you suddenly become so dishonest when you say that?"
Minister Xu also glared at Lu Zhengjun, and then said: "Comrade Zhou Yang, please ignore him and continue talking!"
"good!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "In addition to the pharmaceutical business, the Sickle Plan will also increase investment and continue to invest in the Middle East, Hong Kong Island, Bangzi, Tiaobenji and other places. The most important thing is that starting from this year we will engage in finance! "
"finance?"
"Yes, in the first two years our footing was not stable, so we could only use the money we earned to develop!"
Then Zhou Yang continued: "The advantage of this is that it is safe. Even if something goes wrong, it will not affect the overall development of the company. The worst thing is that you will lose the money you earn."
“But the disadvantage is that it develops too slowly and misses many development opportunities. After all, we only have so much capital!”
At this time, Minister Xu looked at Zhou Yang and said, "You mean, we will use the financial industry next to borrow money to make money?"
Zhou Yang nodded and said: "Yes, with the dark horse power that Yuanwei Company has shown in the past two years, plus the current development situation on Hong Kong Island is not particularly good, many banks' money does not have suitable investment channels, it is definitely There are many financial institutions willing to lend money to Yuanwei Company!”
"As long as Yuanwei Company borrows this money and invests it elsewhere, we can achieve the goal of using money to make money!"
"It's not that simple, right? If it were that easy, others would have done it long ago?" Lu Zhengjun said.
"Of course, investing is risky after all!"
Then Zhou Yang changed his voice and said again: "But for us, with our previous investment experience in the Middle East, coupled with our domestic cooperation, the risk will be controlled to a minimum, so this money can be borrowed!"
The reason why Zhou Yang dared to say this was mainly because he knew that in the next few years, the international situation would undergo drastic changes, and correspondingly, the economic situation would also undergo huge fluctuations.
For example, the second oil crisis caused by the civil strife in Persia, the collapse of the Hong Kong property market and the stock market caused by Sino-British negotiations, the domestic economic shock of John Bull caused by the Anglo-Malaysian Island War, and the hugely influential Plaza Accord, etc.
These are all good opportunities to make money. As long as you grasp it well, let alone a mere US$5 billion, what's the problem even if you add a few zeros?
Minister Xu nodded and said: "Your idea is very bold, but it is very feasible. I will communicate with other comrades of the Scythe Project leadership team as soon as possible, and then report it to the senior leader for approval!"
"Okay, we will discuss the specific details after the leader approves it!" Zhou Yang said.
"good!"
Then Minister Xu changed his tone and said again: "The second thing I'm calling you to come here today is the above decision on your reward!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yang immediately sat up straight and became interested...
