Chapter 1142 Fang Chen wants to make a loss-making business?(1/2)
Fang Chen recalled that India, which did what it did last time, was cheated by Russia for no reason, and almost spit out the money it cheated.
In a previous life, when India's economy was under strain, it borrowed rubles equivalent to US$11.5 billion from the Soviet Union. However, when the Soviet Union disintegrated, the ruble exchange rate plummeted. From the ruble-US dollar exchange rate of 1:1.15 at that time, it fell by three to four thousand rubles.
When exchanging one U.S. dollar, 10 billion rubles were returned like a thief.
In other words, when India borrowed the rubles, it was equivalent to more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, but when it was repaid, it paid back a total of more than 3 million U.S. dollars.
The more Fang Chen thought about it, the more he felt that if he dared to be as shameless as India, Dean Zhu would never care about Fengyi anymore and would dare to chase him for ten kilometers with a knife.
Moreover, the most Russia can do is to give India an aircraft carrier for free, and then ask India to pay billions of dollars for upgrading it, which is more expensive than a new aircraft carrier. For the research and development of the Su-57, it asked India to pay for it, but nothing happened.
, other than that, there is no other way.
But Qingtian is still in the country, and he is still Chinese. If Dean Zhu wants to deal with him, there are ways to deal with him.
Besides, this money was earned bit by bit by Chinese people and his fellow countrymen with their blood and sweat. Fang Chen really couldn't bear that he was deceived and defrauded.
"Come to think of it, I just have a little money in my pocket. I haven't reached the point where I'm at the end of my rope yet, so I'll spend it when I need to. I'm your strong backing." Fang Chen said with a smile.
Then, his eyes once again swept across the faces of the oil workers below, looking at the faces that were tired, haggard, and dirty, but when they looked at him, their eyes were full of desire and a hint of timidity.
Fang Chen suddenly felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
He took a deep breath, and then said loudly into the microphone: "I am Fang Chen, and I now declare that from today on, you are Qingtian's employees! I am Fang Chen's employees! As long as you are willing to work hard, I can
You promise that you will regain your glory and become that proud Russian oil worker!"
Hearing what Fang Chen said, the audience instantly burst into cheers. The cheers were deafening and earth-shattering!
This is their long suppressed cry!
This is even more of a cry of joy!
Just now, they were actually more worried, they were afraid that Fang Chen would not want them.
Fang Chen's identity as the richest man in Russia, as well as the good deeds Fang Chen has done, including this glorious example of turning the tide with a single incident, have completely reached their ears.
After all, what Fang Chen has done are all earth-shattering things, not to mention that people like Berezovsky are deliberately promoting him. How could these oil workers not know that some of them have even heard it?
Already.
However, in comparison, they are actually more concerned about the welfare of Qingtian employees. After all, this is the key to changing their living conditions.
However, under the deliberate display of Berezovsky's instructions to the people below, the curiosity of these oil workers was greatly satisfied.
The welfare benefits of Qingtian employees are better than what they heard in previous rumors.
Not only is the salary high, the wages are all in Chinese currency, so there is no need to worry about depreciation, and one person can support a family for more than half a year with one month's salary.
However, Qingtian employees can also get cheap goods from the trading company, claiming internal discounts from its employees.
To put it bluntly, the living conditions of any Qingtian employee are higher than those of the director of their branch factory.
Even in the Soviet era, the most powerful Brezhnev era, many of these Qingtian employees already owned cars that they didn't even dare to think about.
Although the Soviet industry is very developed, cars have always been relatively rare. Except for some people with higher grades who are guaranteed to have cars, ordinary people need to queue up based on their working years. This year, they will be allocated to your factory.
If the share of small cars is larger, you are more likely to be ranked in the queue. If there is less, then you can only stick to those older workers who entered the factory early and have a long working experience.
And from the Soviet awards to aviation heroes like Gagarin, we can see the lack of cars in the Soviet Union and the people's love for cars.
In the Soviet Union, every astronaut who landed in space would receive a car as a reward (now usually a house), and the gas cost of the car would be borne by the state for life.
On that flight that created human history, Gagarin received the respect of the whole society and the praise of the government. He was awarded one of the Soviet Union’s most luxurious cars, a Volga car, a fully furnished four-bedroom house, and various
Various medals were awarded (such as the title of "Hero of the Soviet", the Order of Lenin and other Soviet highest merits), not to mention additional allowances and benefits. Even his parents were assigned a house with furniture and a TV.
Athletes also get first dibs on cars, which are often given as a reward for victory - but their cars are usually second-hand.
Otherwise, Berezovsky would not be so obsessive about other people's cars.
Cars are naturally very rare for ordinary Russian people, but for Qingtian employees, they can only be said to be popular goods, especially those Volga cars, Gada cars, etc. produced in Russia.
Wait, if Qingtian's employees are willing, almost everyone can have one.
The reason is very simple. Qingtian's employees have high wages, and when buying a car, the Automobile Alliance can also give them the internal employee price, which is a 30% discount.
With this increase and decrease, the gap appears instantly.
Someone once carefully calculated that a Qingtian employee can buy a brand new Volga car from Auto Union with four and a half months' salary.
However, imported cars like those from Toyota, Ford, and Volkswagen are still elusive dreams for people, even for Qingtian employees.
Therefore, they have long wanted to become employees of Qingtian. As for the initial resistance, they have already gone out of the sky and no longer exist.
In comparison, they were still more worried about whether Qingtian would want them.
After some good luck, the company was acquired by Fang Chen, Russia's richest man and the most charitable person, but they were fired again. They would definitely be depressed to death!
Now, the big boss Fang Chen has admitted face to face that they are employees of Qingtian, how can they be unhappy.
And Fang Chen also promised to let them regain their former glory as oil workers, which is even more remarkable.
Some older workers narrowed their eyes slightly and looked lost in deep memories of the past.
Oil workers in the 1970s and 1980s were undoubtedly extremely happy, with high wages and good benefits. They could also buy imported goods from time to time and sell them to make extra money.
But now it's great, not to mention dirty and tired, and I can't make any money.
Looking at the faces that were full of laughter and joy, as if they were celebrating the New Year, Fang Chen couldn't help but have a slight smile on his lips.
It seems that no matter in any country, the people at the bottom are extremely easy to be satisfied. On the contrary, those with vested interests whose wealth is dozens or even hundreds of times that of the people at the bottom are greedy and insatiable.
Fang Chen's expression suddenly turned cold, and even the smile that was originally as warm as the spring breeze at the corner of his mouth became as biting as the cold wind of the three-nine days.
It's okay, that's all if these people stop here. If they continue to dance insatiably like this, he believes Berezovsky will make them pay for the restaurant.
"First of all, for employees who work qualified every month, I will provide a salary income of no less than 150 Huaxia coins as a reward. If they perform well, it will be increased to 500 or even 1,000 Huaxia coins. Except for
In addition, all the benefits that Qingtian employees have, such as year-end bonuses, sabbaticals, employee internal wages, etc., are all treated equally and enjoyed by Qingtian Petroleum employees."
As soon as Fang Chen said these words, there was an uproar in the audience, and many oil workers felt like they were about to burst into tears.
What they look forward to most is that Fang Chen pays them wages in Chinese currency. They no longer want rubles.
To be honest, in those days when the salary has just been paid, if it is not spent quickly, it will depreciate a lot, and even cause the family to make ends meet, not even enough to eat, and even toilet paper and washing powder, they will have long ago
Enough has happened.
And the most tragic thing is that even if you consciously exchange your salary for various commodities at the beginning of the month, you will still face the dilemma of having nothing available.
The reason is very simple. Almost every product in Russia needs to be snapped up because no one knows whether they can still buy this product next month or the next month.
Once the supply of a certain product is greatly reduced, and they are unlucky and they happen to not be able to grab a certain product for several months in a row, this situation will inevitably occur.
But if wages are paid in Huaxia currency, first of all, the value of the currency is stable, strong, and will not depreciate. Moreover, Qingtian's large and small businessmen all accept Huaxia currency. They can use Huaxia currency to buy anything they want at any time.
.
The dilemma just mentioned will not arise. They only need to hold on to their money with peace of mind and wait for the products to appear. There is no need to carry out indiscriminate rush sales at the beginning of the month, regardless of whether they are useful or not.
Grab them all.
Because as the old saying goes, you don’t know whether you will be able to grab this product the next few times, so you can only try to grab it first every time.
Furthermore, the ruble has been depreciating at a faster rate than inflation.
That means that if one hundred Chinese currency is exchanged for one thousand rubles at the beginning of the month, then by the end of the month, it is very likely that the exchange rate will be reduced to one hundred Chinese currency, which is exchanged for one thousand two hundred rubles. Then they are not just buying money out of thin air.
Two hundred rubles.
Of course, inflationary prices will reduce the value of the two hundred rubles, but in the end, the Chinese currency will still increase in value.
As for their welcome to the Chinese currency, it can be calculated from their quick calculation that one hundred and fifty Chinese currency can be exchanged for 26.7 US dollars, which is equivalent to 78,000 rubles.
Every oil worker has become very familiar with the exchange rate between the Chinese currency and the US dollar, as well as the ruble.
"In addition, I also make a solemn promise to everyone that after the oil field operations return to normal, Qingtian Communications will launch a large-scale recruitment."
What Fang Chen said was not long, and his tone was not sonorous and powerful, but it created an unprecedented storm in the hearts of many oil workers!
Recruiting!
The oil fields are hiring!
Almost everyone in the audience felt a chill running from their spines to their brains, and their entire scalp felt numb.
Scary!
It’s really scary!
You know, since seven or eight years ago, when the efficiency of the oil field became worse and worse, and we had to demolish the east wall to repair the west wall, the oil field recruitment that lasted for nearly sixty years no longer exists.
After all, we can’t support the existing people, let alone recruit new people.
However, this policy dealt a severe blow to their families, whose ancestors had been oil workers for almost generations. It also caused their grown-up children to be unable to work in the oil fields as before, and they became completely unemployed.
It can be said that every household among them has one or two children who are old but have no jobs.
And now that Fang Chen actually wants to relax the restrictions on recruiting workers in the oil fields, doesn't it mean that their children can all work? This shock to them is naturally more intense than before when they could receive Chinese coins as wages.
.
When Berezovsky arrived, he was dumbfounded and couldn't help but tug on Fang Chen's sleeve.
