Chapter 553 Miserable Big Hair(1/2)
"Isn't Maozi very rich in clothes, ceramic dishes, metal knives and forks, and kitchen supplies? Why have I never seen the market? I'm interested in these ordinary things and can't even move forward?"
Seeing Maozi's inspection personnel applauding and praising the contents of the container. While many items were still on the ground for inspection, some people came up to buy them. Wang Jianjun, who was standing not far away, was very surprised and couldn't help but underestimate them.
"Maozi's economy is quite biased. The total economic output far exceeds ours, several times that of ours. However, the developed heavy industry can rival or even surpass us, but the light industry is terrible.
Not to mention simple lamps, home appliances, and clocks, even sanitary napkins cannot be produced and must be imported from us."
"Sanitary napkins, does Eastern Group produce these?" Wang Jianjun asked.
Wang Jianjun knew something about the bathroom. It was for women, and his wife often used it.
It's just that this thing is only available in Xiangjiang and doesn't seem to be seen much in the mainland. Every time my wife goes home to visit relatives, she has to bring back a big bag and give it to her former sisters.
"Of course we don't produce them. Not only does Oriental Group not do it, but there are also few domestic companies that can produce new sanitary napkins. Due to living habits and prices, the demand for this is very small.
If you purchase from European and American countries, the price is too high, so the gain outweighs the loss if you turn around." Jiang Lang smiled as he thought about how he almost fell over when he saw the purchase list sent by Mao Xiong, which was so densely packed with needed things.
"Since the gains outweigh the losses, should we give up?" Wang Jianjun asked.
Governing a big country is like cooking a small one. The process of reform needs to be carried out step by step. Especially when the alliance is disintegrated and the society is in extreme turmoil, strong medicine cannot be used and stability is needed.
Rely on the invisible hand of the market to solve the problems left by the economy during the Mao Xiong period and embark on the road to happiness and prosperity.
In a short period of time, we have occupied the markets of all Mao Xiong franchised countries. We have occupied all European and American products except for the high-end market where there is demand." Jiang Lang continued to smile.
"I made a lot of hard-earned money, but it's far behind Mr. Lei." Jiang Lang shook his head, saying that what he earned was not worth mentioning compared to Lei Weidong.
I really don’t know until I go abroad. I used to think that there was gold everywhere in foreign countries. But after I really came out, I realized that many places are not even as good as at home.
"Brother Jiang, you must have made a lot of money in Mao Xiong for such a long time." When it came to making money, the Wang brothers' eyes lit up.
In comparison, canned food is much better, with a shelf life of several months or even a year, and no matter how slow the transportation process is, the canned food will not deteriorate."
Europe and the United States cannot do it because their labor is too expensive. Only we can do it. The dividends brought by our population of 1.1 billion are too great.
But in the 50s, the then boss of Mao Xiong and Uncle Corn had a brain cramp and wanted to make up for his guilt for Er Mao.
"After working for Mao Xiong for several years, I have finally come to understand that making products cheap is not an easy task. The reason why Mao Xiong is not good is because they have toiled themselves.
This amount can feed a large country with tens of millions of people.
Mao Xiong encountered a food production crisis. In order to solve the food problem, Uncle Corn learned from the beautiful country and planted corn across the country.
"That's Khrushchev, the leader of Mao Xiong in the 1950s." Jiang Lang explained, "The reason why we call him Uncle Corn is because when Uncle Corn came to power.
Last year, in 1991, domestic GTP was close to US$700 billion, and this year it is even higher. If not for the depreciation of the RMB, it is expected to be close to the US$9,000 mark. How much money do you think Mr. Lei can earn?"
Wang Jianguo continued to ask.
It's because you can't eat or buy fresh ones.
Either the shipment was delayed or the vegetables were crushed due to rough handling during transportation.
“I don’t know whether Lao Ye is a European or American spy or has a brain fever. He actually believes in the deceptive plans of Europe and the United States. He believes that as long as shock therapy is applied to the economy, the planned economy can be turned into a market economy in half a year.
They were robbed by the railway department and snatched away by various railway bureaus as soon as they got off the ship, which greatly increased the domestic railway transportation capacity.
In order to prepare grain, vegetables, and fruits to arrive in Moscow, special railway transportation lines have been set up. However, it is like this. Every year, no one knows how many vegetables and fruits are wasted on the road.
Not only did it meet the needs of Maozi, but it also saved countless domestic factories. Millions or even tens of millions of people benefited from this transaction, and the domestic economy also increased by nearly six or even seven percentage points.
Among them, there are tens of thousands of military heavy-duty trucks, more than a hundred transport planes, bombers, and fighter jets, and as for others, there are tens of thousands of various engineering vehicles.
However, we cannot blindly expand the planting area for the sake of yield and make a decision on the head.
However, Uncle Corn was born as a fitter and did not undergo systematic study. When promoting the product, he did not consider the harsh geographical environment of Mao Xiong.
"How much does Mr. Lei earn? Can you give me a hint?" Wang Jianguo asked in a low voice.
Just like our country.
Yes, there are examples of successful shock therapy, and it was successful in Bolivia.
Now Dongfang Group's products are not only selling well in the countries where Mao Xiong has joined, but the markets in European countries have also opened up, earning the country countless foreign exchanges every year."
So how crazy are officials who have lost their faith and ideals.
"I know exactly how much I have earned, I can only tell you one figure.
With such a small population, as long as Western countries provide blood transfusions and some leakage, they can be fed and the situation stabilized.
Jiang Lang shrugged and said with a smile, "It is said that Mr. Lei has no appreciation for money because he has too much money in his hands. How much or how little he earns is just a number. Anyway, he will never be able to spend it all in his lifetime.
Before I came to Mao Xiong, Mr. Lei told me that the most profitable time is when a country is being built or destroyed.
"Where's Yuriolov, why didn't you see him?" He looked at a hundred dollar bill, a hundred dollar bill, and a full six hundred U.S. dollars lying quietly in the two boxes.
When corn is grown in high latitude areas such as Central Asia, although some places have achieved bumper harvests, many more places have failed to harvest anything, which not only loses a lot of face, but also wastes a lot of time and money.
Anyway, if we no longer need the furry bears in the future, we can also export them to domestic sales.
Just ask!
It was all an error in transportation.
From an arsenal in a remote place, as long as they give them some living necessities and some US dollars, they can take it as they please, without caring that these are the property of the country."
But that’s fine too.
Not so with Da Mao.
"Tens of millions of tons of food are wasted every year, Maozi really is."
Because they are all public property, they don't pay much attention to them. For officials, as long as the grain yield is satisfactory and it can be transported to the place, it is not their concern as to whether it can be eaten after it is transported.
Anyway, they are all irresistible factors, and the loss is a loss.
In short, it’s a barter between us and Maozi!
If such a large country wants to transform its economic system in half a year, it cannot be done even if the sun rises from the west.
"I have lost interest in money. Isn't it an exaggeration?"
In fact, Khrushchev had a better way, which was to build water conservancy projects to increase grain production per acre. This is the case in our country. In recent years, due to the construction of chemical fertilizers, improved seeds, and water conservancy projects, grain production has increased several times."
"Today next month, I will take the fleet to the Black Sea Shipyard and take the Varyan to Xiangjiang." Knowing that Jiang Lang was referring to what he said, General Hronopoulos laughed.
There are not only furry bears but also those from East Germany, the Czech Republic, Romania and other countries.
Shock, shock!
For Da Mao, who needs stability, once the economy is in shock, death is not far away. If a strongman does not appear, he will probably end up in the grave.
"Yuriorov contacted the aircraft carrier at the shipyard. I'm waiting for you to pick him up." Jiang Lang joked, pointing in the direction of the Black Sea Shipyard.
"Brother Jiang is right, but Mao Xiong is so big and has so much land. There shouldn't be food shortages no matter what. How could it be?" He looked at Mao Zi happily carrying rice, noodles and cooking oil.
I didn’t understand it at the time!
But in terms of population, when the economic crisis occurred, the country had less than 7 million people.
However, it is these clearly avoidable factors that cause 25% or even 30% of the food produced by woolly bears to be wasted every year.
"There are too many examples of frustration, just like the land under our feet, the most important base of the Black Sea Fleet, used to be Mao's territory.
"Waste is only the first reason. After all, Da Mao has inherited the rich legacy of Mao Xiong. The main reason why there is a serious food shortage is Da Mao's reforms.
Among them, East German vehicles are the most popular in the country, especially train locomotives and carriages.
Strictly speaking, Uncle Corn is right to attach great importance to agriculture. Food is the basis of national stability. The disintegration of Mao Xiong has a lot to do with the food problem.
Let the Black Sea Fleet find itself in the current embarrassment." Jiang Lang joked, pointing at Sevastopol Port with his right hand.
Why do furry bears, especially those with big fur, like to eat canned food so much? Whether it is canned fruit, canned fish, or canned meat.
When I got to Mao Xiong, I understood it only after experiencing its disintegration process.
The economy began to transform in 1978, and now more than ten years later, it is still groping forward step by step. If Mao Zi wants to reach the sky in one step, he will only run into communism like we did back then, and then stumble.
With a wave of his hand, Crimea was directly assigned to Er Mao, so that now Da Mao and Er Mao are quarreling over the Crimea issue so much that they are losing their minds.
Most of them were bartered in exchange for a large number of construction machinery that was in short supply in the country.
"How is it possible to give up? Mr. Lei said, how can we give up a profitable business? Since there is no such thing in the country, we can just produce it ourselves.
"Uncle Corn?" Wang Jianguo was very unfamiliar with this name.
Jiang Lang's words opened the eyes of Wang Jianguo and others. They couldn't imagine that Mao Zi would make such a low-level mistake. Could it be that he was really not as smart as Jiang Lang said.
Because the Type 24 passenger cars in the railway system introduced technology from East Germany, the locomotives and carriages can be used without modification and repainting after they are shipped to China.
But he never thought about what would happen if economic reform failed.
As for those military factories that cooperate.
The quality is worse than that of foreign products, barely reaching 80%, but the price is much cheaper. Ten pieces are equivalent to the price of one piece. Even if we double the price and add the shipping cost, the price on the counter will be a big or two cents, and the price on the counter will be overpriced by European and American brands.
Half cheaper.
General Hronopoulos' eyes kept smiling. The Eastern Bloc was so generous. No wonder so many people cooperated with it.
So everything from equipment to raw materials was introduced, and production was carried out while researching on technology. In just three months, the first batch of sanitary napkins was produced.
This is a big country with a population of over 100 million and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of companies.
