[409] After careful calculation, it¡¯s not enough money. ¡°How can there be such a good thing, how can the money be enough?¡± The chairman rejected Xiaoqiang¡¯s idea that the loan could not be spent. . The old man, the chairman, flexed his left fingers and settled the accounts for Xiaoqiang: "In order to stabilize the currency value of the ruble, the Soviet Union has completed the ruble reform. It stipulates that the gold content of one ruble is 0.2221 grams of gold, and the exchange rate against the US dollar is 4 rubles per US dollar. But in order to earn foreign exchange , the non-trade foreign exchange rate is 150% subsidized on the official exchange rate, which is 10 rubles per dollar. At present, the total number of international students we have sent to the Soviet Union, East Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland and other countries has reached more than 4,000 people! Institute of Power Engineering, Moscow Petroleum Institute, Moscow Institute of Iron and Steel, Moscow Institute of Geology, Moscow Aviation Institute, Moscow Mining Institute, Moscow Institute of Nonferrous Metals, Moscow Gold Institute, Leningrad University, Leningrad Kalinin Polytechnic Institute, Leningrad Electrotechnical Institute , Ural Institute of Technology and hundreds of higher education institutions all sent our international students! All the research institutes under the Soviet Academy of Sciences also accepted our first batch of graduate students, including the Moscow Stalin Automobile Factory and the Khaikov Tractor Factory. Hundreds of factories, including the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Complex, have also accepted on-the-job interns sent by us, and Soviet experts will teach them the skills step by step. Calculating, it is estimated that a total of more than 30,000 people will be sent out within five years. The budget given by the Ministry of Education is that the average tuition fee plus living expenses per person per year totals 9,642 rubles. In this case, we will spend 1.2 billion rubles on students studying in the Soviet Union in five years. Fortunately, this is calculated as payment in non-trade foreign exchange. , that is to say, the loan discounted in U.S. dollars is equivalent to about 120 million U.S. dollars. As for us helping the Soviet Union purchase rubber, the Soviet Union needs to use U.S. dollars in foreign exchange to pay, and it is a real deal to earn more than 20 million U.S. dollars. There is still 1. What about the tuition gap of US$100 million! The loan agreement we signed from the Soviet Union was finally worth US$100 million, which is the official price of US$400 million. We bought 600 second-hand Li-2 transport aircraft for US$30 million. That is 120 million rubles, and the total order for aviation kerosene, gasoline, and diesel reached 20 million U.S. dollars. There was also a graphite stack worth 12 million U.S. dollars provided by the Soviet Union, and an additional 30 million U.S. dollars worth of diamonds were purchased. After this, only 30 million U.S. dollars were left. A loan of US$8 million is available. A loan of US$100 million with an annual interest rate of 3% will cost US$3 million in interest every year! The Soviet Union has already withheld the US$8 million and we cannot afford to pay back the interest.¡± He smiled and said: "The tuition of 30,000 people will be sent out in five years. This is a matter of installment payment. You, old man, have to pay it all now. This is too impatient. But your idea is natural. You have food in your hand. Don't panic. , Haha.¡± The chairman smiled and said: ¡°That¡¯s what I mean, we must pay close attention to the matter of making money. We previously agreed with East Germany that the first batch of 1,300 students studying in East Germany should provide each of these students with money every year. Ration of about 3.84 tons of rice. The current price of rice in the domestic market is 320 yuan per ton, and the purchase price is 160 yuan per ton. The purchase price is equivalent to a cost of about 60 US dollars. The purchase cost of the 12,500 tons of rice we previously gave to East Germany as living expenses for two and a half years reached US$750,000. Although the money is not much, there is a shortage of food in the international market, and the actual price of rice is more than 120 US dollars per ton. Moreover, food is a strategic material. After World War II, all countries were in short supply of food. The United States also strictly controlled exports, and it was impossible for East Germany to buy it in large quantities. I think it¡¯s better to discuss it with the Soviet Union, and then we can use agricultural products to repay part of the loan. " Xiaoqiang shook his head quickly and said to the chairman: "Chairman, our country's population is increasing rapidly, and there is always not enough food to eat. It is better not to export food. The situation in East Germany is very special. Our precedent is a special one. Otherwise, if everyone comes to buy food, what will happen to our country's own living standards? During World War II, even the United States instituted a rationing system. It can be seen that as long as there is a war, the food supply of any country will inevitably be tight. The Soviet Union abolished the rationing system after World War II. That was because China was supporting it by exchanging a steady stream of agricultural products for its industrial products. Historically, our rationing system was not gradually abolished item by item until the 1980s. Chairman, this time, we don¡¯t have to tighten our belts and trade agricultural products for industrial products. Seeing that Xiaoqiang did not agree with the proposal of repaying loans for agricultural products, the chairman smiled and said, "Then you have to make money faster." " Xiaoqiang said with a bitter face: "Chairman, you are making trouble unreasonably. The Prime Minister has already said it. I made a lot of money from medicines and fabrics before. In addition to the US dollars exchanged for gold, I still have 57 million US dollars in hand. This time, the Soviet Union can earn more than 20 million US dollars from rubber, which is 80 million US dollars. Previous vacuum tubes were exported to the Soviet Union and received rave reviews. The Soviet Union¡¯s total orders for various types of vacuum tubes have reached as many as 500,000, with an average of 30 US dollars each.Calculation, this is 15 million US dollars. Chairman, based on this calculation, we have actually been able to pay off the loan ahead of schedule. "The chairman smiled and said: "I can only make unreasonable troubles with you, the God of Wealth. You also said that it would take 4 billion US dollars to build an atomic bomb, but right now we are still far from that. " After that, he said seriously: "We helped the Soviet Union with hydrogen bomb intelligence before. The Soviet Union has realized that our intelligence is worth a lot of money and is very grateful for our help. So I recently asked Ambassador Wang Jiaxiang to ask about the Soviet Union¡¯s attitude. Comrade Stalin¡¯s attitude is currently very vague. He neither said it would be given to us nor said he wouldn¡¯t give it to us. He just told Ambassador Wang Jiaxiang to build the graphite pile step by step. Besides, at the same time, he promised to consider assisting us in building a diffusion-based uranium enrichment plant, but he did not make it clear when he would assist us or at what price. The implication was that he still did not fully trust us. It seems that we are in a hurry about this matter, but he is not in a hurry at all. " Xiaoqiang frowned and thought for a moment, then analyzed: "Stalin is actually a very pragmatic person, and he will not let go of eagles when he sees rabbits. We need him to nod and agree, unless he absolutely trusts us, but even so, the money will have to be spent like water. ¡± The chairman continued Xiaoqiang¡¯s words and suggested: ¡°So I am considering that on the one hand, we should first establish a relevant scientific research team to do solid theoretical work; on the other hand, see if we can get some information from 2011, two Walking with legs is always better than just one leg. " Xiaoqiang was dumbfounded. It turns out that the chairman is more anxious about developing the atomic bomb than himself. " It's no wonder that in the various documentary videos brought by Xiaoqiang that the chairman has watched recently, the word "nuclear weapons" always pops up, which is very eye-catching and makes the chairman always I can¡¯t let it go. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Sincerely thank Lingshan Erming for the reward! Thank you again for your support!
