Thunder Bluff, Qin Zhiyuan's study, Qin Zhiyuan is listening to Huang Fugui and Gaspard's financial report.
Gaspard is responsible for helping Qin Zhiyuan make money. He now has more than 10 million US dollars in liquidity, which he uses for various financial investments to keep Qin Zhiyuan's wealth growing.
Although Gaspard was recommended to Qin Zhiyuan by Auerbach, he had already passed Gao Hongshi's political review. He was a professional butler with a clean financial background. He had previously served an earl in England, but the earl's family fell into decline.
Gaspard had no money to invest, so he lost his job.
The decline of the count's family was not the fault of Gaspard, but the problem of the count himself. Gaspard's own financial management ability was worthy of trust.
Perhaps because he knew that the candidates he recommended would be scrutinized, Auerbach did this matter openly and without any intention of trying to hit Qin Zhiyuan's internal affairs. This made Qin Zhiyuan feel more favorable towards Auerbach.
.
In the past two months, the price of gold has continued to rise. I was originally inclined to invest in gold, but I found an area that is more worthy of investment, and that is securities. Now Europe is in the middle of a world war, and the prices of various securities continue to rise.
If prices go down, some very valuable securities are no longer even interested in. It is foreseeable that the European post-war economy will definitely recover. If we buy in at low prices now, we can either control those companies in the future or resell them, and we can make a profit.
A lot of money. Gaspard has financial vision, and what he needs is support.
If you want to do it, in addition to securities, buy a few islands, one every 2,000 kilometers from here to the Far East. There should be about two kilometers of flat land on the islands, and it is best to build a port. This
Things must be done as soon as possible. Within a month, I will start construction of the airport. Qin Zhiyuan has plans.
It's 2,000 kilometers, and an airport needs to be built. Do you want to fly all the way back to the Far East from here? Gaspard is not sure whether this distance is too far.
The large transport aircraft in the aircraft design institute is being studied. Long Chengyuan and Pierce are so busy that they forget to eat and sleep. Maybe there will be a large transport aircraft tomorrow. What Qin Zhiyuan needs to do is to prepare in advance before everyone realizes the importance of the aircraft.
Sex, first occupy the territory before talking about anything else.
Not far away, the new transport aircraft in the research institute must be able to fly a distance of 2,000 kilometers at a speed of 250 kilometers per hour. Once the design is completed, it may only take a week to get from us to the Far East. What significance does this have? I think I
Even if you don’t tell me, you will understand. Qin Zhiyuan released part of the news.
Oh my god, it’s unimaginable. In my impression, it would take half a year to take a boat trip. Gaspard’s impression of sailing was still 10 years ago.
It doesn't take half a year now. Today's new ships can run at a speed of 20 knots. It only takes more than a month to get to the Far East from here. Of course, compared with airplanes, ships are too slow. Qin Zhiyuan knows that time is the meaning of money.
.
Well, I think this is not difficult. Almost all the islands belong to the British, and the British need money now. If we take the money now, the British should be happy to sell. But in this way, it may occupy
Our funds may not accumulate as fast as expected. Gaspard tried his best to give all possibilities.
It doesn't matter, what do we do to make money? Once we make money, we have to spend it. The money earned is meaningful only if it flows. Qin Zhiyuan understands the meaning of finance.
The so-called finance literally means flowing money. Only when it participates in circulation can money have meaning. Otherwise, it is just a pile of waste paper. It has no value except to satisfy people's vanity.
Although Gaspard has to spend money, he will still create profits after all. But when he comes to Huang Fugui, he can only get out but not get in, and it is still a big hole.
So far, our military personnel have exceeded 30,000, including a large number of high-tech troops. The monthly consumption per person is staggering. Just the salary alone requires 10.86 million francs per month, equivalent to 2.16 million U.S. dollars.
About 9.7 million francs will be paid by the French government. The remaining part needs to be filled by ourselves. The monthly shortfall is about 1 million francs, equivalent to 200,000 U.S. dollars. Huang Fugui has become numb. Now he starts from scratch every day.
The francs he spent were astronomical figures. Now Huang Fugui no longer had the urge to look at the numbers, as if they were just a series of numbers.
Ordinarily, all the salaries of the Foreign Legion should be paid by the French government, but in the First Division, there are a large number of technical troops, and the salaries of these people are much higher than the contracts signed with the French government. This part must be paid by Qin
Zhiyuan payment.
In the contract signed with the French government, all foreign legionnaires are only infantry. They are paid ten francs per person per day. After deducting food, clothing and expenses, they turn around about eight francs per day. In this way, after a month, one soldier is almost the same.
There are more than 200 francs, which is equivalent to less than 200 francs. If you switch to the Republic of China, this is a standard high salary.
Corsica's expenditures last month seriously exceeded the standard. Nearly 40,000 workers spent more than 1.2 million U.S. dollars on salary for a month. In addition to various construction materials, as well as the expenses of scientific researchers, school teachers, and security personnel, last month's salary expenditure exceeded the standard.
Monthly expenses exceeded US$3 million, and the deficit was approximately US$1.3 million. Huang Fugui continued to report.
All this money was used for the construction of Corsica, and it was money that had to be spent. Qin Zhiyuan's budget for Huang Fugui was the two million US dollars given by Borneo and the Vatican, but this number was obviously not enough.
This is normal. It's a budget. It's not normal to not spend enough. It's normal to not spend enough.
Whether the Thunder has a hematopoietic mechanism or not, Qin Zhiyuan still places his hope on his own blood supply.
Since the large-scale construction of Thunder City began, Qin Zhiyuan moved Lll Company to Thunder City. Since taxes have to be paid anyway, it is better to pay taxes to the Thunder City Municipal Government than to the Paris Municipal Government. Lll Company's current profit points are divided into three
Among them, one is the escort business of the destroyer fleet, the other is the hunter clothing affiliated to Lll Company, and the other one is the patent fees belonging to Lll Company.
Perhaps there will be another item added in the near future, and that is ocean transportation.
Crown Prince William sold the ships that they can't use now to Qin Zhiyuan, which will greatly enhance Qin Zhiyuan's ocean transportation capabilities. Now Europe needs various agricultural products and various raw materials for industrial production, but the Far East has no supplies.
Due to the lack of transportation capacity, blood transfusions to Europe cannot be made. Qin Zhiyuan will fill this gap, and his ocean transportation will have broad prospects.
But what he didn't expect was that when Qin Zhiyuan finished talking about the ocean transport fleet, he was immediately opposed by Gaspard.
Yes, I object that the ocean transport fleet should be the private property of the generals. The profits cannot be used for public construction casually. That is not in line with the laws of economic operation. The government should have a government hematopoietic mechanism. If there is a financial deficit,
At that time, even if the general was willing to subsidize the government, the government should raise funds from the general in the form of public bonds, and add a portion of interest when repaying it, instead of arbitrarily subsidizing without restraint. Gaspard was adamant.
Isn't this still the same thing? Huang Fugui found it troublesome.
