After pxs was acquired, Li Bu learned that one of their original projects had taken shape, and with hardware support, they were able to advance their plans. The inspiration for this project came from a short film they had made long ago, "Tiaotiao". "Lamp", Li Bu remotely approved the project.

The joy of acquiring pxs did not last long. Bad news came from Big Brother. Since the 80s, the West has not only imposed a sophisticated embargo on Big Brother, but also imposed an embargo on food. After so many years, There is a food shortage there, and the long-term development of heavy industry has led to an imbalance in the industrial chain, resulting in a shortcoming in the light industry. Now there is also a shortage of daily necessities, clothing, etc. If it is summer, it is fine, but winter is coming, it will be very uncomfortable.

The news from Big Brother is that the other party requires them to provide more daily necessities and food because they have been having a hard time in the past few winters.

The person standing in front of Li Bu was one of the dozen or so people back then. He was no longer young, but he looked very good and looked like he was overdrinking. Li Bu shook his head inwardly. These people were under a lot of pressure. , he can also understand it in such open areas.

"Li Sheng, the amount they ask for this time is relatively large, and they are willing to pay a higher price in exchange for what they need."

After listening to his words, Li Bu said: "Those things are just dispensable to them. They can't even eat, so they are no longer needed."

"Every time they negotiate business with us, they have to bargain. Compared with Western capital, we are much better. If you tell them that we will supply according to last year's volume, we will also have difficulties. Now the prices of bulk commodities are rising internationally. We We can’t organize so much food.”

Over the years, we have conducted a large number of transactions with them, but these cannot solve the needs of the other side at all. The other side thinks that this side is easy to communicate with and often pushes too far. Li Bu already wants to quit. He is afraid that he will get on the other side in the future. Blacklist, now he can't get what he wants from there, but thinking that he can get twenty times the profit, he can only bite the bullet and get on with it. Unlike those little tycoons, he can call on a large number of transport planes. , to avoid exploitation on the way.

Li Bu is also a little helpless now. He has hoarded a lot from the international grain futures market and purchased land in an agriculturally developed area. Even if it is fully produced in the mainland, it cannot be shipped there. His factories and plants in the mainland are Supermarkets also need supplies and cannot run out of stock.

Since Big Brother liberalized the financial industry in 1987, banks have been open to the outside world. Within its territory, there is a bank called Red Star Light that has been established for more than three years. This bank, like other foreign banks, accepts deposits, but it has never been seen It issues loans, but like other foreign banks, the interest rates on deposits in Big Brother's foreign banks have exceeded 10% in the past two years. Now the interest rates of global banks are falling, while the interest rates here are rising every year.

The official exchange rate of the ruble is one ruble to one dollar, one and a half dollars, but on the black market, one dollar is worth 1 rubles, which leaves a huge amount of room for manipulation.

Even so, these foreign banks are still raising deposit interest rates to attract people to deposit, which shows that these people have got some news and are waiting for that moment to come.

Of course, Red Star Light Bank also needs to absorb more deposits. In order to attract more deposits, Red Star Light Bank has used many methods and conducted many activities. Unlike other foreign banks, they at least It can also provide some benefits to the people under Big Brother, such as having a fixed deposit for more than three years and allowing them to purchase certain food or daily necessities.

"Comrade Belinsky, have you heard that you can buy a certain amount of food by depositing money at Red Star Light?"

"Of course, the interest we get from deposits in other banks is not enough for us to buy food. I already deposited money yesterday and bought a box of instant noodles. It tastes great."

"Oh, is that instant noodles really that good? I originally wanted to buy some of that wine called 'Erguotou'. I've had it, and it's as strong as vodka."

"I plan to buy that one next time I go there, too."

This kind of thing happens all over Big Brother, and it also serves as an advertisement for Red Star Light Bank.

There was a queue outside the Red Star Light Bank. In the entire Big Brother area, only the Red Star Bank could provide a large amount of food and daily necessities.

Other banks don't even want to provide this kind of food. They're so evil. As for a bottle of Erguotou, which costs [-] cents a bottle, is it sold here for ten rubles?Isn't the shipping fee free? Most of these food, alcohol and drinks are all transported by air. There are more than twenty transport planes flying from the capital to the whole territory of Big Brother every day, flying back and forth. Only some valuable things can be transported by air. will be transported back to the capital; as for some steel bars, rare metals, etc., they will be transported to the border by train, and then transported back to various parts of the mainland by train. These items cannot be eaten or used, so of course no one robs them.

Only by depositing money here can you buy daily necessities; other foreign banks are a little jealous, but they can't get so much food and daily necessities.

Subsequently, many such banks were opened, and there were also such activities. However, they found that the food and supplies in such banks were similar to those of the Red Star Light Bank. They also wanted to find channels, but they could not find such mysterious supplies. They were fascinated by the business. Apart from some products from China, where did the products from other European, American and Japanese countries come from?When they investigated and found no such factory, they were puzzled and driven crazy.

People's living conditions before the disintegration of Big Brother faced many problems.With the gradual deterioration of the economy, there are shortages of materials, serious inflation, declining living standards, and increasingly intensified social conflicts.At the same time, serious gaps and inequality between rich and poor have emerged in society, leading to social instability and turmoil.Under this situation, people's quality of life has been greatly affected, and many people are worried and uneasy about the future.

Here in Big Brother, although there is a serious gap between the rich and the poor, inequality, social instability and turmoil, it does not affect the living standards of the upper class. A large number of easy-to-preserve fruits are transferred from Xiangjiang to the mainland, and then sent from the mainland to Big Brother. These are Only the upper class can eat these fruits. These fruits are transported from Southeast Asia to Xiangjiang, then from Xiangjiang to the mainland, and then from the mainland to Moscow by special plane. The price has increased thirty times. Isn’t it expensive?

In more than half a year, according to history, Big Brother may be disintegrated. So what will these savings be used for?You can't do good deeds and pay back the principal and interest when due, right?
