Wu Youping briefly introduced the situation to He Rui on the phone, and then added: "I can get the report the day after tomorrow."

He Rui thought for a moment and asked, "How many gaps are there in synthetic ammonia?"

"Looking more optimistically, 300,000 tons. Looking more optimistically, 50,000 to 150,000 tons."

He Rui immediately replied: "Since the main gap is after June, we will buy 50,000 tons first. Make up for the basic gap."

Hearing this, Wu Youping felt that He Rui's courage was too amazing. Inspired, Wu Youping also felt that he could give up and immediately replied: "The money should be fine, but who should I buy it from?"

He Rui replied without hesitation: "Buy from Germany. Don't worry about France being unhappy about this. In addition to ordering 50,000 tons of synthetic ammonia from Germany, we will bid for another bid and set 50,000 tons from the world. Through the bidding meeting, the time will be longer and the price can be reduced."

Wu Youping's excitement came and went quickly. At this time, he had already begun to feel that such a large amount of money was necessary to spend it. He asked, "Chairman, can we make some adjustments in China?"

"I don't think so. Because many regions use synthetic ammonia fertilizers in the first year, many of them use two seasons of farming in the first year. The land fertility declines rapidly, don't fantasize about solving the problem with millions of novices. And according to data from previous years, what is the proportion of grain growth and industrial demand increase?"

Listening to He Rui's calm analysis, Wu Youping quickly searched the data in his memory and quickly replied: "For every 1% increase in production in the two rooms, industrial demand will increase by 0.25%.

"Is the world's confidence in China's economy worth 50,000 tons of synthetic ammonia? And the money for buying synthetic ammonia was not wasted, but was really used to increase production. What is the current capacity of synthetic ammonia in foreign countries? How much is China's production capacity?"

Wu Youping was once again full of confidence and answered decisively: "Foreign countries have 750,000 tons, and we may reach 3 million tons next year."

"Our production capacity is four times that of the world. In the next few years, we will likely export more than 100,000 tons of synthetic ammonia every year. As long as the world has confidence in China, the 50,000 tons of money is not a big deal. If you really feel that this money makes you feel distressed, I will give you an idea. The German Mark is falling now. You tell the Germans that we are borrowing money from Germany."

"Can you make it back?" Wu Youping felt that He Rui probably couldn't do such a fierce thing.

"Don't think about cheating others. Just look for German banks and tell them. The German mark is falling. We borrow a mark from the German bank. As long as the goods are shipped, if the German mark falls at that time, we will pay the German RMB according to the current exchange rate... But the German bank will post 3-5 points to us. If the German mark rises at that time, we will pay the German mark to the German bank. Haha, according to European saying, no matter which German bank takes the business, their manager will crawl over and kiss your boots at that time. Because you saved that bank."

After hearing what He Rui said, even Wu Youping wanted to try it. But after a brief ideological struggle, Wu Youping replied: "I will ask Germany to pay in RMB."

"Yeah. Go." He Rui hung up the phone after he said that.

Wu Youping immediately ordered the Ministry of Commerce to carry out the matter. Two days later, the Minister of Commerce gave the news, "Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Bank, and Bavarian Bank are all willing to provide China with comprehensive services for this business. The Prime Minister has only one requirement, that is, we will directly transfer the RMB to their accounts. It seems that the crisis in the German banking industry is expanding."

Wu Youping hesitated at this time, "Will those companies that produce synthetic ammonia have problems?"

Li Chenggang answered with confidence: "Deutsche Bank and the Bavarian Bank both said that they were willing to provide guarantee services for this business. Judging from the news from Germany, these two banks will find companies with sufficient business dealings with them to undertake this batch of synthetic ammonia contracts. Germany does not lack industrial capacity, what they lack is orders. What German banks lack is cash. Moreover, this time, the German banks were a little surprised at first. After learning about the demand and use of synthetic ammonia in our country, they immediately expressed great enthusiasm. It seems that they were forced to do so."

"Then do it." Wu Youping replied.

"By the way, Deutsche Bank and Bavarian Bank both said that they are willing to contact German companies in this area and are willing to ship the German inventory they can take out to China."

Wu Youping was stunned, "Hey! Although it's only February now, I don't know if they will have to plow spring in two months?"

Li Chenggang had a little sympathy in his expression, "Prime Minister, those German companies will now sell synthetic ammonia to us and will not go bankrupt. As long as they can continue to start construction and are sure to get the payment immediately, those German companies will be able to survive these two months. At that time, they can produce immediately. Even if there is no extra synthetic ammonia sold to German users, those companies can still consider staying until next year. Without this order, many German synthetic ammonia enterprises and enterprises in the industrial chain serving these companies will go bankrupt. The two evils are the least, which is the same for China and Germany."

"...Okay. Just do that." Wu Youping made up his mind. When Li Chenggang left, Wu Youping couldn't help but sigh that the RMB has now been decoupled from the gold and silver standard, and the RMB is just a simple fiat currency. With China's current economic strength, the RMB is not a currency that is free to pass in the world. However, in the agreement signed by He Rui and France, France supports the RMB to exchange for francs. Due to the current strong position of francs, Germany accepts RMB that can be exchanged for francs, rather than simple renminbi. France does not provide financial services for China, but financial services for French economic activity.

Thinking of this, Wu Youping felt enlightened. At first, he felt that China's purchase of more than 100,000 tons of synthetic ammonia from the world would allow the world to see the shortcomings of China's industrial strength. However, from the perspective of countries around the world, China's rapid economic development has caused China's own production capacity to be insufficient. At the moment when the annual output of more than 2 million tons of synthetic ammonia is produced, it also needs to import more than 100,000 tons of synthetic ammonia from the world. This proves that China's economic potential is huge and has a strong potential. The most important thing is that China is releasing its consumption capacity to the world. In order to support China's consumption capacity, all countries that need Chinese orders are willing to provide financial support.

Faced with such a favorable situation, Wu Youping felt that the Chinese government seemed to have no other choice except to work hard and work hard.

With the rapid advancement of 150,000 tons of synthetic ammonia imports, by April 2011, more than 40,000 tons had been shipped to the areas in need. The world did not have bad comments on China, and industries that wanted to make more money in this business would of course complain. But the ordinary evaluation is that 150,000 tons of synthetic ammonia were distributed to 500 million Chinese people, and one person was assigned 0.3 kilograms, 300 grams, and a large bowl of water. It is nothing to China.

Only the Chinese government knows that for the 400 million Chinese who have not yet been lifted out of poverty, 300 grams is worth 5 cents. It is the price of an ice cream in the city. Even so, ordinary families will not easily buy an ice cream for their children. If it were not for synthetic ammonia, which is used to increase agricultural output, or those foreign light industrial products, the Chinese people did feel the pressure. For the Chinese government, this is what must be paid attention to.

There are too many things to pay attention to. Prime Minister Wu only undertakes the work of a national leader. For example, in March 1931, Wu Youping discussed the construction of the Outer Mongolia Railway. From a population perspective, the Lanxin Line is very important. However, the Lanxin Line is almost impossible to solve the problem of strong winds. Although it is seen from the plane map, there is a long distance from the Northeast to the northern part of the Western Regions Province (Xinjiang). If you look at it on the globe, although this railway crosses many unmanned areas of Outer Mongolia, the straight line distance between the two is only 3,000 kilometers. As for these unmanned areas, the railway will change greatly after the railway arrives. Moreover, the Lanxin Line also has to pass through hundreds of kilometers of Gobi Desert, and there is no special population settlement here.

In May, the plan was finally passed. Although the railway has many problems at this stage, it connects China's northern borders and ensures stability in the Western Regions. In particular, He Rui said, "The Western Regions Province (Xinjiang) also has its own advantages, such as suitable for cotton planting. The railway is built to the northern part of the Western Regions Province and passes through the mining areas of Mongolia. These are very valuable to us."

Wu Youping felt that He Rui's expression was a little weird at that time, as if there were some things that were not explained clearly. However, what He Rui said was enough, the national security mineral economic crop. Every item in it was enough to allow the construction of this railway less than 4,000 kilometers.

In July, the Huanghuai Plain had just completed summer planting and harvest, and schistosomiasis, which was suppressed for a while, revived in some areas of Jiangnan. In order to completely resolve schistosomiasis, the country allocated a large amount of resources to manage. The British media launched a round of media offensive internationally.

However, the British media was finally disappointed. The British economy was very bad at this time, with the unemployed population reaching 3 million. There are only more than 40 million people in the UK. Nearly 30% of adult men are unemployed, who would care about the occurrence of schistosomiasis in the distant China?

In September, heavy rain fell in the Yellow River Basin. In order to ensure food, the local government spent a lot of energy to protect the dikes. After more than half a month of hard work, there were no large-scale floods or waterlogging, and the autumn harvest was basically stable.

These are all major events. Regarding industrial construction, as well as the cultivation and construction of the domestic market, there are various things to worry about every day. A year passes quickly. On December 15, 1931, the Chinese government also regularly released the economic data of the last month, which is the economic figures for November.

Moreover, the fiscal year is about to end, and the economic sector will begin to prepare for a closed account and count it. After the economic data statistics for the last month are completed, the accounts for the whole year must be reviewed. By January 1932, all the summary data will be taken out as the content of the government work report.

On December 16, Prime Minister Wu Youping opened the work record book. He saw a content on it, "The first holiday of the year".

The beginning of the year is January 1st of the Western calendar. Holiday refers to the three-day holiday at the beginning of the year. Wu Youping remembered that he wanted to comfort comrades who insisted on their post during this holiday and also held holiday celebrations. However, the relevant departments are responsible for these activities, so Wu Youping definitely doesn't have to worry about these matters.

So, it took half a minute before Wu Youping remembered that he could actually take a break during the three days of the beginning of the year. Then he was stunned... It turned out that he also had holidays.

So what are you going to do in these three days? Wu Youping thought about it and found that he really wanted to hear He Rui's judgment on the future. So Wu Youping called the secretary, "Contact the Chairman, I want to invite him to have a tea party with the comrades of the State Council."

For the central leadership, the biggest difference between tea parties and work meetings is that they will not be scolded at the meeting, nor will they be forced to come up with policies to solve problems, or to make analysis and commitment to KPI.

On the second day of the year, on January 2, 2019, the tea party was held at No. 7 Renmin Road, which is the official residence of the President of the Republic of China. Many comrades have not been very pleasant memories here, but comrades who can survive these things will continue to work as leading cadres of the State Council. Those comrades who He Rui thought were incapable have already entered other positions.

Now these comrades have put down heavy pressure and are at least ready to enjoy a rare relaxation at the moment. Especially now, with the global economic downturn, comrades have naturally developed a little thought of watching other countries lively.

As a high-level leader, you can see the latest reports. The agricultural output value in December was not much, and it was relatively less difficult to count industrial output value. According to the data from the first 11 months, plus the predictions for December, China's GDP increased by about 20 billion yuan in 1931. In 1929, China's GDP was 80 billion yuan, and in 1930, China's GDP was 100 billion yuan. It has increased by 20 billion yuan for two consecutive years, which is indeed a huge progress.

He Rui also talked with everyone about the latest progress, "The current pound, franc and Chinese yuan are fiat currencies that are separated from the gold standard, which directly led to the depreciation of the pound by 35%. After the strength of the franc was good with the Chinese yuan, 1 pound is now exchanged for 60 Chinese yuan. 120 billion Chinese yuan, which is equivalent to 20 billion pounds in exchange rate. In 1931, the UK's GDP was 4.4 billion pounds.

Since China uses GDP calculations, the UK adopts statistical methods of the total value of migrant workers and agriculture. The actual proportion should not be 5 times, and it is estimated to be around 2.5 times."

Among the comrades here, there are many doctoral and master's degrees. This number made everyone very happy, but they also gave birth to some inexplicable helplessness. China's population is 12 times that of the UK's mainland. As long as China looks a little bit like a little, it should be stronger than the UK. Now it is only 2.5 times the total industrial and agricultural output value of Britain, which proves that the UK is really much stronger than China.

Water Resources Minister Lu Daoming sighed: "I don't know when our per capita total worker and peasant value will reach two-thirds of that of the UK."

Wu Youping was stunned for a moment and then smiled. Not only Wu Youping laughed out loud, but most ministers laughed. This is a very simple arithmetic problem. China's population is 12 times that of the UK, its per capita industrial and agricultural output is two-thirds of that of the UK, and its strength is 8 times that of the UK. It takes only a minute to crush the UK.

He Rui did not laugh, and replied: "What is important is that China's per capita consumption capacity can reach two-thirds of the per capita consumption capacity in the UK, so that our industrial and agricultural output value can be easily increased. Who is willing to give up on making money?"

This sentence is a truth, but it is also very cold, and the smiles of the comrades quickly disappeared. Everyone knows how poor China is. Moreover, the economic development has been so rapid in the past three years that many people have become rich. For example, in Shanghai and other places, rich people drove luxury cars by ordinary citizens wearing rags. This comparison is particularly unacceptable. Many comrades with irritable personalities were furious. Therefore, many intermediate cadres have generated many views on "whether to be equal to the rich and the poor."

Although the proportion of these comrades is not too large, their attitude is very fierce. The central government cannot regard this as if it has not been seen.

He Rui raised this sharp topic, but did not go deeper, but talked about the decisive events in the past 31 years.

Britain settled the three major events of pound breaking away from the gold standard, pound group and imperial special preferential system. By establishing an economic barrier between a market with an internal population of more than 500 million and world trade, and pulling a number of countries relying on the British market into the pound circle, through the access system, it has formed an economic alliance.

Through economic cooperation and China, China established an economic cooperation system for East Asia and the Soviet Union, France and China established a dual-system economic alliance, making the French franc a strong currency again. On the surface, France became a world power that could confront Britain.

After the United States established tariff barriers, trade with countries around the world suffered a heavy blow. Since the market that the United States can control is completely incomparable to two other economic groups with a population of more than 500 million, the United States has suffered the biggest impact.

According to the current ratio, 1 pound is about 4 US dollars. The United States' gross industrial and agricultural production in 1929 was US$103.2 billion, and in 31 years there were only about 76.5 billion US dollars left.

He Rui finally said: "Although China's GDP is about 80 billion US dollars, it cannot be directly compared with GDP with GDP. Therefore, the total output value of workers and farmers in the United States is about twice ours. Even in a deep economic crisis, the United States' strength is still very strong."

After saying that, He Rui glanced at the comrades. Seeing that everyone's expressions were either a little pity and gratitude, especially those ministers studying in the United States. Or they were a little gloating. He Rui felt that the comrades might not have really understood the problem, so he continued to speak his opinion, "Comrades, the United States is indeed miserable at this stage. But at this stage, the United States has not stopped developing. You can think that the vitality of the US economy is like magma under a volcano, boiling and flowing. Once there is a breakthrough, it will burst out with amazing force! This Great Depression is actually a stage of removing backward production capacity. The United States is now a debt crisis that has caused people to lose confidence in finance and banks. However, the domestic market in the United States is still there. In such a tragic environment, high-tech, high-management, and high-quality enterprises can survive in various ways. Just like a phoenix, when Nirvana is reborn, it will have a terrifying power!"

The central cadres are one of the most elite in China. Even because China lacks experience in large-scale industrialization, it does limit their horizons and imagination. However, these basic concepts are not difficult for them. So Minister of Commerce Li Chenggang asked: "Chairman, can the United States make comprehensive adjustments in terms of systems?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many ministers looked serious.

He Rui asked rejoicingly: "Why not?"

Now, a low sigh sounded in the venue.
Chapter completed!
