Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 305: arrives, the gold crisis begins

In the cornfield near Beijing Nanyuan Airport, when Zhao Mancang arrived here, the plane was still on fire and had not been completely extinguished.

The rescued people have begun to be treated by medical staff.

The most important passenger was sent to a temporary tent nearby, with many people standing around him.

A leader in a dark military uniform saw Zhao Mancang coming and pulled his arm with a look of sadness and excitement on his face:

"Mancang, hurry, hurry, come and help save him. His name is Guo Yonghuai, our most powerful scientist. His life is hanging by a thread. You are the most powerful surgeon in the capital, please help."

Guo Yonghuai cannot die!
If it were someone else, Zhao Mancang might not know him, but Guo Yonghuai was Qian Xuesen's junior, so of course he knew him.

Sam's most famous scientist, Theodore von Karman, had three very outstanding Chinese students, among whom the most famous was Qian Xuesen. Guo Yonghuai died young in the original time and space history, so his reputation is not as great as Qian Xuesen.

The last one is Lin Jiaqiao. This gentleman is a native of Beijing. It’s a pity that he has been with Sam all his life. He only returned to China to settle down after the millennium. His contribution to the country is very small.

After hearing the order's plea, Zhao Mancang nodded with a heavy face.

When he came to the makeshift stretcher, he saw Guo Yonghuai lying on it.

At this time, Guo Yonghuai's face and body were in unprecedented shock. Li Jinxiong, Gu Shouzhi, Dai Yaomin, Luo Dehong and others who were busy nearby couldn't help but shake their heads pessimistically after seeing Zhao Mancang.

It was just because Guo Yonghuai’s injuries were too serious.

Several leaders were standing nearby, looking at Zhao Mancang anxiously and urging him to help save people from time to time.

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry!" Zhao Mancang shook his head and responded, but his hands were not slow. He first checked Guo Yonghuai's pulse.

The heart seemed to have stopped beating, almost declaring death.

After confirming this situation, Zhao Mancang felt a sinking feeling in his heart. It seemed that this time, something really big was going to happen.

He quickly took out an emergency pill from his messenger bag, fed it to Guo Yonghuai first, and then took out silver needles to acupuncture various parts of the latter's body.

At this moment, Li Jinxiong and others could only stand aside and watch with wide eyes.

They can now confirm that Guo Yonghuai has stopped breathing and his heart has stopped beating, and he is dead in the medical sense.

But when they saw Zhao Mancang's actions, they didn't understand, but they were expecting a miracle to happen.

For Li Jinxiong and others, saving people has become commonplace, but every time they see Zhao Mancang saving people, they feel that it is not enough.

Even though Zhao Mancang demonstrated it many times in front of everyone, they still couldn't understand it.

"Doctor Li, please don't just stand there. Help stop the bleeding first!"

After hearing Zhao Mancang's reminder, Li Jinxiong and the others suddenly woke up as if from a dream, cursed themselves inwardly, and then hurried to help bandage Guo Yonghuai's wound.

Zhao Mancang was also busy. While directing Li Jinxiong and others, he was also busy confirming when Guo Yonghuai's heartbeat would recover.

Fake death, or other death situations, Zhao Mancang believes that as long as the other party is still breathing, he will not be truly dead.

Just like aortic dissection surgery, the patient may experience cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest during the operation, which requires the doctor to have superb skills to complete the operation quickly and allow the patient to recover.

Zhao Mancang was certain of this situation, so he took such a risk.

Although he did not give his leaders and others an accurate answer, he was still very confident that he could save Guo Yonghuai's life.

Half an hour later, Guo Yonghuai's heartbeat suddenly recovered, and Li Jinxiong and others suddenly cheered.

Outside the tent, Guo Yonghuai's wife Li Pei and daughter Guo Qin became excited when they heard this.

Not to mention the leaders, as long as his heartbeat is restored, I believe that with the strength of Zhao Mancang and others, they will definitely be able to rescue Guo Yonghuai from the King of Hell.

Li Jinxiong and others also showed joy on their faces. After all, being able to achieve this step was already very awesome.

Unfortunately, no one knows how Zhao Mancang did it.

It had been a while since he had seen patients very often, but his medical skills had not declined, but had improved a lot.

Simply a miracle!
After a long while, Zhao Mancang finally stopped what he was doing, feeling relieved, and said tiredly:
"Everyone, Professor Guo can be transferred to the hospital. It would be best if the journey was not bumpy. Doctor Li, could you and Doctor Pei help take care of Professor Guo on the way?"

After hearing Zhao Mancang's instructions, Li Jinxiong and Pei Shouzhi nodded solemnly, then stood up and left.

Guo Yonghuai is the most important person in this plane crash.

However, Guo Yonghuai also saved his life. Four crew members died and the black box of the plane has been taken away, but it is still uncertain whether the specific cause can be analyzed.

The plane just crashed, there was no explosion or crash. We can only say that it was lucky.

Zhao Mancang did not continue to help rescue other patients because this was the capital and there were many surgeons coming to support.

If the patient can still be treated, generally speaking, there is no big problem. The wounded who cannot be treated have already reported to the King of Hell.

The next day, Zhao Mancang was called by his superiors to attend a meeting in Lingjing Hutong, mainly because the leaders were still frightened by the plane incident.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours without Zhao Mancang saying a word.

Leaders have expressed that they must focus on aerospace technology and put safety first.

Everyone knows that such a plane crash must not happen again, otherwise it would be a disaster.

It is difficult to say whether a plane crash will occur, and no one can guarantee it.

The only way to avoid similar incidents is to strictly control pilots, aircraft technology, etc.

Several days passed and Guo Yonghuai woke up in Union Hospital. At present, he is temporarily out of danger, but he still needs to stay in the emergency room for observation.

Zhao Mancang went there once and helped complete an operation. When he saw Guo Yonghuai again, he was able to open his eyes and speak.

At this point, Zhao Mancang no longer cared about this matter. There were a large number of excellent doctors at Union Hospital, and there was really no need for him.

In the blink of an eye, 1968 has passed and 1969 has arrived.

In 1969, Zhao Mancang rarely went out. The two times he went out were for inspection.

Time flies. At the beginning of 1970, the Spring Festival had not yet arrived, but Zhao Mancang had already attended the year-end summary meeting in Lingjing Hutong.

In the past six or nine years, Otto Motors has been developing slowly with steady growth, and has not developed very rapidly.

In comparison, the cars of Causeway Bay Motors have spread throughout the East Asian and Southeast Asian markets, and can sell 600 cars every day, which can be said to be very impressive.

However, no matter how well cars sell, the profit margin is still not as high as that of movie-related products.

"Jurassic Park" movie peripheral products have remained very popular in the past 1969. Although the revenue is not as terrifying as the more than 5 billion US dollars in 1968, it is still 2.7 billion US dollars, which is already very impressive.

In addition to dinosaur-related products, there are also many movie-related products, and their revenue and profits are extremely terrifying.

Judging from the current trend, the fact that ordinary products can sell so well is largely due to movie peripherals.

"Mancang, will the Sam's movie market still be so hot next year?"

One of the leaders asked in the conference room.

Zhao Mancang heard this and shook his head and said:
"Boss, I'm not sure either, but judging by the release plans announced by the four major companies—Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Universal Pictures, and MGM—the market for Sam's films should continue to be hot."

"Since 1989, the Sam Film Market has been experiencing a wave of big movies, which is called the blockbuster era by those in the industry."

"I've seen most of these blockbuster movies. They all have several very obvious characteristics: a very smooth plot, clear images, and each has its own selling point, which is almost impossible to replicate."

Without mentioning the famous "Jurassic Park", let's just talk about the movie "Sadako". It relied purely on horror movies and marketing to elevate it to a position where it did not belong.

You know, "Sadako" is just an ordinary horror film with very little investment, but for such a movie, its box office has exceeded 700 million US dollars, and it is currently ranked second in the box office list of film history.

"Jurassic Park", the first film in history, has many selling points, needless to say, the novel dinosaurs, the family-friendly popcorn movie, with a little horror, comedy and other effects, which satisfy the curiosity of movie fans.

The most important thing is marketing!

Yes, it’s still marketing!

If it weren't for the overwhelming marketing and the box office rankings released every day, which constantly stimulate the adrenaline of ordinary movie fans.

Moreover, the scarcity of entertainment in this era has led many Sam people to frantically pursue spiritual needs after satisfying their material needs.

It just so happens that "Jurassic Park" satisfies the spiritual needs of these people to a certain extent.

Therefore, marketing is the key to success.

The current box office of "Jurassic Park" has exceeded one billion US dollars, reaching 1.12 billion US dollars, and is still growing.

Because there are still many cinemas that have not taken it off the shelves and still retain a certain scale of screening for it.

Many movie fans are still quite crazy and will go to watch this movie from time to time. They will not let this movie be taken off the screen.

No one knows how long it will be shown.

However, "Sadako" has been taken off the screen, with a total box office of 756 million US dollars.

Regardless, Universal Pictures made a fortune with "Sadako".

After hearing what Zhao Mancang said, the leaders were a little disappointed, but nodded in understanding.

After all, no one can accurately predict what will happen in the future; we can only take things one step at a time. The extraordinary prosperity of the Sam's film market can almost be attributed to Zhao Mancang himself, though he won't take credit for himself, as no one knows he's the boss behind Paramount and the other four Hollywood giants.

Wall Street has fully entered Hollywood, and no one knows whether it will be ripped off and left with nothing to wear.

Anyway, many film companies such as Warner Bros., United Artists, Disney, Sony Columbia, etc. have announced several film plans with investments of more than 20 million US dollars.

The eight Hollywood giants may continue to clash in 1970, and it is unknown who will be the king.

In the conference room, everyone's topic is no longer movie-related products, but lithium batteries.

Since Zhao Mancang proposed selling lithium battery products abroad, a lot of foreign exchange has actually been added to the mainland. In addition, the Shaya area has now developed the fourth generation of lithium battery products, the fifth generation has almost been developed, and the sixth generation product has also begun to be developed.

What the leaders are discussing now is whether the third-generation lithium battery products should be sold to the outside world.

If sold, will the third-generation lithium battery products be competitive?
All the leaders looked at Zhao Mancang, because he was the only one who knew the technology and market in this area best.

"Leaders, I think it's okay, but this matter needs further careful consideration."

Zhao Mancang gave his own opinion.

Mario Aerospace has also launched a lithium battery project, but the research and development speed cannot be increased at all. It is not because of lack of money or people, but because of lack of time.

The Shaya region has been ahead of Mario Airlines for nearly ten years, so it will still take time for Mario Airlines to catch up.

However, Zhao Mancang would not give the other party time, even if Mario Airlines was his own company.

Cost is one aspect, and on the other hand, the lithium battery products produced in Shaya area are of very good quality.

Because in Zhao Mancang's opinion, Mario Aviation should not have launched the lithium battery project, but his alias is Sam White, so his character cannot be distorted.

The reason why he reminded the leaders to reconsider was that once the third-generation lithium battery products were put on the market, the deadlock would inevitably be broken and other things might happen.

"What are you afraid of? If the enemy comes, we'll fight him. If the water comes, we'll block it with earth. Since there's no big problem, let's sell it!"

After listening to Zhao Mancang's words, a leader immediately spoke.

Lithium battery products are the trump card among export products, with very high profits. The sales of the previous first-generation and second-generation lithium battery products have declined a lot.

So at this time, perhaps the third generation should be sold, otherwise there will be no way to maintain competitive advantage.

Upon hearing this, other leaders spoke up to express their support.

There were some leaders who opposed it, but not many.

The current situation in the country has become increasingly clear. The more foreign exchange earned, the better the domestic economic situation will be. The leaders are not blind and can certainly see this trend.

Zhao Mancang didn't have too many thoughts. Since he wanted to sell the third-generation lithium battery products, he would just sell them.

He has already reminded everyone that needs to be reminded, and any problems that may arise later will be dealt with later.

California arms companies such as Lockheed Martin keep a close eye on their arms market.

The sudden emergence of lithium batteries has spread quickly throughout the Sam's Club market.

Many competitors are jealous.

Unfortunately, Mario Airlines is Zhao Mancang’s company, and the company that transports lithium batteries to the city of Medford is also a company under one of Zhao Mancang’s aliases.

There is also the Nolinasun Group and others. With so many companies joining together, it is impossible for those competitors to handle all of this.

Otherwise, lithium batteries would have entered the Sam's market for several years and would have been discovered long ago.

In the following time, many topics were brought up in the conference room one after another, and Zhao Mancang participated in them seriously.

The entire meeting lasted for three days before it finally came to an end.

After the meeting, Zhao Mancang began to arrange his work in a very targeted manner.

Jiaolong School was the first stop of his last inspection before the Spring Festival.

In the summer of 1968, after the first batch of students graduated, Jiaolong School officially became the talent training base for various subsidiaries of Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization.

Take the third and fourth generation lithium battery products for example. The reason why they were developed so quickly is due to the contributions of graduates from Jiaolong School.

"Principal Feng, this spring and summer, we must steadily advance our enrollment work and be more rigorous to ensure that students' moral character and basic education are maintained."

On campus, Zhao Mancang, surrounded by Feng Zuzheng, Tian Dewang and others, strolled on the school road and spoke seriously.

The temperature in Beijing in January was very low, and there was a lot of snow and ice on the ground, but these were not a problem for Zhao Mancang.

But for Feng Zuzheng and others, it was not so easy.

It was freezing cold, and I still had to accompany my leader on an inspection tour. Walking outdoors in the freezing weather was truly a torture.

But no matter how much suffering they have to endure, there is nothing they can do about it. After all, they are subordinates, and Zhao Mancang is the leader.
"Okay, boss, I understand. I will definitely do a good job in this regard."

Hearing Feng Zuzheng's words, Zhao Mancang nodded and looked at the students running on the playground not far away.

As the saying goes, train hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer.

Therefore, even on the coldest days, you cannot stop training your body.

For energetic students, who are in the prime of their youth, this is the time for them to sweat.

After inspecting Jiaolong School for half a day, Zhao Mancang did not find any problems and left.

Over the next few days, he continued to inspect other units.

The lithography machine R&D center has now perfected all the technologies, but due to the lack of technical talent, it still takes time to produce the next generation of lithography machine technology.

Zhao Mancang is very patient, so he is not in a hurry at all.

As long as he can ensure the control of Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization, no one else will be able to intervene. He will also know when the lithography machine will be produced.

At this stage, the main force is still movie-related products, lithium batteries, etc. These products can definitely help Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization earn more foreign exchange and consolidate Zhao Mancang's leadership over Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization.

In addition, there are also weapons products sold by Jiaolong Foreign Trade Company.

Bulletproof vests have been developed into higher-level products, and the research, development and production of bulletproof vests for different usage scenarios have begun.

But even so, the bulletproof vests that can be sold now are still only the first generation of bulletproof vests.

Even the first generation of bulletproof vests are still sought after by many people and are very popular in the African continent, Monkey Peninsula, the Middle East and other regions.

Especially in southern Africa, where war continues, many people want to own a bulletproof vest.

On the Monkey Peninsula, we can only rely on the generals above to help with procurement, as the soldiers themselves do not have that much money.

As long as the unrest in these places has not subsided, there will always be a market for bulletproof vests. The Type 53 rifles that have been produced, and even double-barreled shotguns, steel ball pistols, etc. are very popular in the market.

The effective range of a steel ball pistol is only about fifty meters. When it reaches eighty or one hundred meters, it will deviate seriously.

Such a small-powered pistol is particularly popular in southern Africa because it is small and exquisite and very suitable for concealment.

And they didn't use expensive bullets, but steel balls.

That's why steel ball pistols are so popular.

With so many products for sale, Jiaolong Comprehensive Organization can earn more than 8 billion US dollars in revenue every year.

I don’t know if I could earn more in 1970?

In any case, Zhao Mancang believes that by the end of the year, if there are no major accidents, there will be no problem in exceeding 10 billion US dollars in foreign exchange earnings.

It is now the beginning of 1970. Although the Spring Festival has not yet arrived, the capital crisis in the global market has already formed and is about to mature.

Therefore, if there are no major accidents, a gold crisis will definitely break out by the end of this year.

In January of last year, Richard Milhouse moved into the White House, and things have changed.

However, the clever Richard Milhouse did not fulfill his election promise to withdraw the troops from Monkey Peninsula, so ordinary people who felt they were being fooled were very disappointed in him.

This is not the point.

The most critical point is that the ongoing war on the Monkey Peninsula has forced the Federal Reserve to print a large amount of US dollar cash in order to maintain the "dignity" of the treasury.

Financial capitalists made money, arms dealers from the California consortium made profits, and the entire SAM benefited from it, such as the growing SAM film market.

But it has caused trouble for the younger brothers such as Europe, Kimura, Southeast Asia, etc. Even the University of Tokyo is confused about this.

The reason is very simple. According to the Bretton Woods system, the fixed exchange rate of one ounce of gold to thirty-five US dollars was seriously inconsistent.

When many transactions occur, they are not based on this fixed exchange rate, but are based on different prices such as thirty-eight, forty, or forty-five dollars per ounce of gold, simply because the US dollar has depreciated.

Compared to 1944, there are too many US dollars on the market now, so the US dollar has depreciated, and gold is of course more valuable.

The European brothers had no choice but to sail to the New York vault, transport the collected US dollar bills to New York, and then transport the gold back to their own country.
