These words are not alarmist.
But it's true!
In a country without any industrial foundation, it can range from daily necessities such as screws and matches to important supplies such as firearms and machinery.
It simply cannot be produced.
As long as Nie Li implements the policy of restricting supplies to Donglie, the now prosperous Donglie will immediately return to that precarious nation again.
"Now, when those boatmen get off the port, they can go to the pubs run by Chinese people on the street to have a nice glass of beer, and they can also use their wages to buy something for their families. But as long as Nie Li says a word, we will be finished!"
"Even if you have money in your hand, you can't buy anything!"
"We don't even have our own currency!"
The heartbreaking voice of the Minister of State did not bring Lao You's nephew back to his senses for a long time.
At this moment, he realized what his uncle's generation was carrying.
Yes, a country that doesn’t even have a currency and needs to import various supplies, what qualifications do you have to tell others?
Squeezing them to death is as easy as squeezing an ant to death.
In fact, they originally had currency, but in the past six months, who would use it?
All the people of Donglie are working.
When you go to the seaport, you will be given Chinese silver dollars or cents.
When I went to the oil field, I was given Chinese silver coins.
Even more so in factories.
Even when you go shopping on the street, those well-stocked Chinese stores use silver dollars.
How competitive is your currency?
Over time, no one used it.
In the past, people didn’t think this was a problem. ,
But now it seems that the problem is bigger.
Even the Eastern Lie treasury stores only silver coins. Why?
Because if you want to buy something from Huaxia, if you don’t use silver dollars, what should you use?
Use Ying Yuan?
The exchange rate alone can kill them.
"Okay, kid, go back to class! I'm leaving too!"
Not wanting his nephew's faith to collapse, he had no choice but to comfort him.
"The future will be good!"
But my nephew didn't believe it at all. How could Donglie like this be so good?
Have you been following the footsteps of China?
No autonomy? What is the difference between that Chinese territory?
He doesn't understand!
Confused.
Lao You took the Minister of State and took a car to the station, but when they were at the door, the guards stopped them.
"Mr. Nie has important guests now, why don't you go back and wait?"
Where can Lao You go back?
If he goes back again, he is afraid that Dong Lie will be dead if Nie Li sneezes.
"No hurry, no rush, we'll wait! I would also like to ask my little brother to register with the secretariat first! Let's report."
This request is not unreasonable.
The guard nodded: "Okay, if you are willing to wait, then wait!"
Lao You and the Minister of State just waited.
During this period, the guards did not treat them badly. They had enough tea, plenty of fruits, pears, and even rice.
However, neither of them had any intention of eating.
How can I take care of this at this time?
Waiting anxiously.
Finally, watching the clock on the wall keep changing, it was half past three in the afternoon.
Lao You saw a person coming out of it.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
Although I was mentally prepared, it was still a little hard to accept.
"How will you be here!"
That man was a minister of the Kingdom of Jordan.
The man chuckled and said, "Why can't I be here?"
"Old You, I still have to thank you for your stupid trick, otherwise how could we have any chance of luck?"
After saying that, he laughed and left.
Lao You looked heavy.
It was all speculation before, but now it’s confirmed.
Sure enough, I was wrong.
After a while, a little girl from the secretariat came over.
"Mr. You, Mr. Nie, please come in!"
Lao You immediately arranged his clothes to see if there was anything rude.
"Okay, okay! I'll go right away!"
The Minister of State said cautiously: "Your Excellency, if necessary, give away some more benefits!"
Lao You's face darkened.
Nodding: "It doesn't matter what we said!"
The two were silent for a while.
Lao You left and went to Nie Li's reception room.
On the big sofa, Nie Li sat on one end and Lao You sat on the other.
Lao You was so anxious that he only dared to sit with half his buttocks.
Nie Li looked at Lao You and said with a smile: "Lao You, why haven't we seen each other for a few days and you're still out?"
Lao You laughed awkwardly.
"Mr. Nie, I am here to admit my mistake to you!"
Nie Li was startled and opened his mouth wide: "Old You, you have confused me. You are the head of a country. What mistake can you make with me? Stop making trouble!"
Lao You looked at Nie Li, whose acting was flawless, and sighed in his heart.
A flattering smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. Nie, what you said is that you are our great benefactor in Donglie and our backer! It's not shameful to admit my mistakes to you."
Lao You's face was as good as that of a businessman, and Nie Li was a little impressed.
If you were in someone else's shoes, you might not be able to do it yourself.
He only knows how to do it with a knife!
Waving his hand: "Okay, Lao You, stop saying polite words. What happened when you came this time? The Secretariat said you have important things?"
Lao You stood up quickly: "Yes, Mr. Nie, I have been thinking about it for many days and feel that I made a wrong decision!"
Nie Li snorted and said curiously: "What decision?"
Lao You showed pain, annoyance and other emotions on his face.
"I really did something wrong. I shouldn't have introduced production lines and lathes!"
Nie Li chuckled: "This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Lao You saw that Nie Li had not forgiven him yet.
He continued: "In ordinary countries, this is definitely not a problem, but in the East, this is wrong!"
"Mr. Nie stood behind the quilt in the east column. There is no need to worry about running out of various materials. Why bother to ask for trouble and produce it yourself? After we have a production line, can the things we produce by ourselves be comparable to those from China? impossible!"
"Both the output and the quality are not good. If that's the case, why bother to produce it yourself? As long as we cooperate with Mr. Nie, we won't have a problem living a prosperous life!"
"That's why I said I did something wrong and asked Mr. Nie for forgiveness."
"We don't want the production line anymore. We don't have the shame to ask for the money we spent to buy the production line. Let's just treat it as compensation for our breach of contract!"
Lao You's shamelessness amazed Nie Li.
However, it is no longer possible to rely on this to make Nie Li trust him like before.
But don’t reach out and hit the smiling person.
Nie Li smiled and nodded: "This is all business behavior. Just negotiate with the Foreign Affairs Bureau! I know your sincerity!"
Wave.
Lao You is gone.
Discuss with the Foreign Affairs Bureau?
Does he dare to go?
It would be best if this matter ends like this.
But after Lao You left, a person appeared in Nie Li's reception room.
He looks similar to his old friend, so he must be from the same country.
"Saipan, did you hear what Lao You said? I think such a groveling person is not worthy of leading your entire Donglie!"
Saipan's respectful face showed anger.
"I think so too!"
