Chapter 445 445 Big Purchase

Tang Mo, who has returned to Long Island, is still very busy every day. With the continuous advancement of technology, he must come up with more and better technologies to maintain Datang Group's lead in research and development.

Every day he has to write and draw, copy down some technical parameters, and distribute them to various R&D departments to inspire their ideas.

This is a virtuous circle. It is impossible for Tang Mo to be a drawing tool forever and contract the R&D and design work of the entire group by himself.

Therefore, he can only cultivate follow-up talents, keep the R&D team motivated and do more work for him, so that he can be freed from R&D work and pay more attention to strategic issues that are becoming more and more important.

In the process of technology transfer, Tang Mo played more of a decision-maker role, preventing his technical team from wasting time on the wrong route.

In the conference room, Tang Mo was listening to reports from various departments on the development progress of Dongwan Island. Almost all the issues of Datang Group recently seemed to revolve around Dongwan Island.

No way, Burnas and Yucheng are connected together, they are already on the right track, and Harry is watching, so everything is fine.

The same is true for the rest of the ports. Everyone is busy developing, and they all have their own development goals. As long as they go on step by step and honestly, they can become rich places in the future.

With Tang Mo personally sitting in Longdao, there is no problem at all: as Datang Group's R&D base and technology fortress, there is naturally no problem in its development.

Just look at the densely packed giant docks that have been expanded several times, and the hulls in various stages of construction, and you will know the status of Longdao in the Datang Group.

Although there are countless affairs to be dealt with in these places, they are all routine tasks and don't require Tang Mo's constant attention.

Only Dongwan Island is still in the initial construction stage, and it is still a military bridgehead, and Tang Mo needs to personally intervene in all matters.

Luo Jie was left on Long Island by Tang Mo, and now he is doing his own job again. He introduced the recent actions of the group to Tang Mo: "We have imported about 200 million tons of grain from allied countries. Most of them are gathering towards Dongwan Island."

He explained to Tang Mo why he didn't continue to purchase more grain: "This is already the limit of the amount of grain we can purchase, because if we increase the purchase, it will be dangerous to sell the country's grain reserves, which they are unwilling to bear .”

Although the Datang Group exported chemical fertilizers and improved seeds, it has indeed improved the planting efficiency and allowed the allied countries to obtain a bumper harvest of grain.

However, the problem of food and clothing has just been partially resolved, and many countries have just come out of the state of starvation. Everyone is vigilant about exporting food, so there is actually not much food flowing in the trading link.

For Datang Group's export of grain, it is more out of awe and trust.The decision-makers in various countries are more or less willing to believe that Datang Group's grain procurement is not a strategic offensive.

"Because of our purchases, the price of grain in various countries has begun to rise. The price we offered is almost three times the purchase price of grain at this time last year." Roger continued to speak, and mentioned another reason that affected the purchase.

This is also a problem that is almost impossible to solve: continuous purchase of grain will cause fluctuations in grain prices, and large-scale grain purchases like Tang Mo's will definitely cause grain prices to continue to rise.

The problem brought about by rising prices is that the amount of food that can be purchased at the same price will further decrease. From the result, it is completely an act of losing money immediately, and the party that spends the money will be under tremendous pressure.

Because the loss is certain, whoever issued such an order has to pay for the extra price. Any individual, or even an organization, must make a reasonable explanation to explain why the loss of money should be done in this way.

Many people don't understand why Huaxia buys the national debt of the lighthouse country at many times. In fact, the reason is simple: Huaxia has a large profit every year. No matter what the money buys, it will cause the commodity's international trade price. skyrocketed.

This will lead to a serious problem. With the size of Huaxia Kingdom, what you sell will fall into dogs, and what you buy will skyrocket.Once back and forth, the price difference is equivalent to spitting back the profits to other countries.

If you want to buy high-tech, but people don’t sell it, then money is no longer money.What people want to sell, Huaxia doesn't want to buy, so it becomes a deadlock.

The most reasonable behavior is to buy foreign government bonds and get some interest, without the risk of losing a lot of money... That is hundreds of billions of money, so you can't take even a little risk.

For a country, any decision must be stable, because this is the most reasonable choice.

The current Datang Group is very similar to Huaxia: their industrialization is the most thorough, and the scale of trade exchanges is too large. A little bit of turmoil is a tsunami for all countries, and everyone is very cautious.

Tang Mo wanted to purchase grain for Dongwan Island, and the price of grain would immediately go up. This was just the beginning. If Datang Group continued to import grain, the price of grain would become even higher and even more uncontrollable.

Therefore, Roger's suggestion is to suspend the purchase of grain first, wait for the price of grain to fall next year, increase the production of more grain, and then purchase another round to keep the price of grain at a reasonable and slightly expensive level.

"The good news is that we don't need to prepare a standard amount of food for slaves. We generally only ensure one meal a day for goblin slaves..." Roger finally said pretending to be relaxed.

The Datang Group has never treated the goblin slaves as "citizens", so it will take it for granted that they will deduct from these slaves to maintain the basic operation of other aspects.

"Dino is very worried that the death of the goblin will affect the development process of Dongwan Island. We are a bit too hasty. The construction speed of Dongwan Island is very fast, but this is the result of the death of slaves." Tang Mo Looking worriedly at Loew on the other side.

Because the army needs to be suppressed and guarded, the goblin slaves are systematically under the jurisdiction of the military. The use and deployment of these slaves, and the statistics of casualties will be summarized in the general staff of Commander Loew.

Loew nodded slightly, and began to introduce slaves: "In the past month, we lost 4 goblin slaves. Most of them died of overwork and illness, and some were abused. Others It’s because construction safety is not up to standard.”

"I don't mean to sympathize with these bastards. What I am worried about is that if the number of slaves continues to decline, it will affect the infrastructure construction on Dongwan Island in the future." Roger continued.

Before Love could speak, Leo answered Roger's worry: "There is no need to worry about this, because we will distribute better qualified talents to all the employing regions."

"Better?" Roger didn't know much about intelligence work, so he looked at Leo and asked.

Li Ao nodded proudly: "That's right, we have bribed city lords and officials in many areas of the Zheng Kingdom, and they will turn a blind eye to our plan to transport people."

He can indeed be proud of his subordinates. Dandelion's work in Zheng Guo can really be said to be the largest espionage operation in the history of the world, with the most investment and the fastest results.

"You mean, the entire region will ignore this large-scale movement of people...?" Roger looked disbelieving, because for any country, population is actually wealth and the most inseparable hard resource .

Li Ao continued to smile and said: "That's right, they will directly use the criminals for local infrastructure, and then transport the good people directly to Dongwan Island as criminals."

Hearing what Li Ao said, Roger felt relieved, and sighed with a sigh: "It seems that our people are doing a good job there."

Tang Mo smiled and complained about Leo's eagerness for quick success in espionage: "It's really good, they spent 3000 million gold coins in less than 25 days, and then asked me for another 1000 million."

This operation is basically a "big coin" movement, without any skills at all, it is purely to find a corrupt official who is not human as a breakthrough, and then pull a series of such officials into the water, finally pierce the sky, and then go bankrupt Bigger officials can't blame everyone for pinching their noses.

Make giving money a fait accompli, give 10 if [-] gold coins can't be smashed, and [-] if you can't smash [-]!Keep giving until the other party nods, or someone nods for him!
Don't underestimate the power of this tactic, because it has been proved that this is the simplest and crudest but surprisingly effective method.Just imagine, if the United States used one year's defense budget as a bribe, it is estimated that few people would stand firm, right?
Even if someone is extremely loyal, but then again, if this is true, you can rest assured that the country will send someone to do the work for you, and persuade you to join the enemy and collect the money...

"My God... is it true or not?" When Tang Mo said the bribe of 4000 million gold coins without frowning, Roger felt completely dumbfounded.

He even felt that if he directly talked to the king of Zheng Guo about the price, he might get a discount or something.

Tang Mo smiled and said to Roger: "Really, many cities in Zheng State are now defenseless against us, and the local officials will completely ignore our actions, including our renovation of the port, paving of roads, and all the local young and strong Shipped overseas. Overall, the money spent is worth it.”

He directly set the nature of Li Ao's funds, which avoided Leo's embarrassment.Li Ao glanced at Tang Mo gratefully for this. To be honest, when he spent such a large sum of money, he was actually very guilty.
