Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 741: Not Doing Your Job

As the performance time approached, workers and their families arrived one after another.

The workers also saw Director Chen and Uncle Nie sitting in the front row.

Many family members have never seen Uncle Nie and always ask him a few questions out of curiosity.

This is the time for men to show off in front of their wives and children.

"You don't even know Uncle Nie? He used to come to the factory to inspect frequently in the early years. I don't know how many times I've seen him."

If someone likes to brag, he will exaggerate a little.

“I shook hands with Uncle Nie back then, and then I didn’t wash my hands for a month.

Your man was also praised by Master Nie. "

As their wives and children exclaimed in amazement, the men could hardly suppress their joy.

Many brave children saw Chen Changan and ran over, wanting to share the snacks in their hands with Chen Changan.

My parents at home often talk about how great the factory is while we are eating.

If it weren’t for Director Chen, I don’t know what the factory would be like now.

Today, my family can live a good life, all thanks to Director Chen.

The children were influenced by what they saw and heard, and after hearing such words many times, they naturally developed a good impression of Chen Changan.

"Uncle Chen, this is a snack my father made. Try it. It's sweet and delicious."

"Oh, it's Sakura. Your father made this, so I have to taste it."

Seeing Chen Changan eating Nan Xiaoying, she smiled happily and then said.

"Grandpa, you have one too."

Uncle Nie was a little anxious, but facing the child, he took it with a smile.

"This is the daughter of our factory cafeteria director, Master Nan. Her name is Nan Xiaoying.

Master Nan is the successor of the imperial chef, you should still have some impression of him, right?"

Uncle Nie nodded, obviously not thinking about this.

"Okay, Grandpa and I have eaten. There are a lot of people here today, so don't run around. Go find your parents."

"Goodbye Uncle Chen, goodbye Grandpa."

Chen Changan turned around and gave Li Chenglin a wink, and Li Chenglin understood immediately.

He then stood up and waved to the people in charge of security around him.

It would be impossible for other children or outsiders to get close to Chen Changan and Uncle Nie.

"Actually, this matter is very simple. It's nothing more than a question of economics."

Seeing that Uncle Nie was listening attentively, Chen Changan continued.

“Antiques are valuable in prosperous times, and gold is valuable in troubled times. This is not just a random statement.

The US dollar has always been pegged to gold, and as the United States is mired in war.

The fiscal deficit is huge, and if we want to fill the gap by issuing currency indiscriminately, there will be huge disadvantages.

The biggest disadvantage is the depreciation of the U.S. dollar, but it will also be an opportunity for us.”

"We have so many US dollars in our hands. Why would the depreciation of the US dollar be an opportunity for us?"

“I will explain two points to you in detail, and you will understand.

Previously, gold was pegged to the US dollar, but now with the excessive issuance of US dollars.

If the U.S. dollar depreciates, will gold appreciate accordingly?

Judging from the current situation, it will not be easy for them to get out of the quagmire of war in Southeast Asia in a short time.

If we use all our foreign exchange reserves to buy gold.

Suppose we only have one million dollars and we use it all to buy gold.

After the war, this gold could probably be exchanged for three million US dollars.

Don’t you think this is a way to easily earn several times the foreign exchange reserves in hand? "

Upon hearing this, Uncle Nie nodded. He didn't understand anything else, but compared to the US dollar, Uncle Nie believed in gold more.

This is a precious metal recognized by the whole world and can be used as hard currency.

During the most difficult years, the country's foreign exchange reserves were insufficient and it had to rely solely on the foreign exchange earned from the automobile factories to buy food.

It is simply a drop in the bucket and cannot fill the domestic food gap at all.

The country took out all its gold reserves and exchanged them for food. Only then did it barely get through the difficult times.

So, as Chen Changan said, all foreign exchange reserves should be converted into gold.

Although I don't understand the principle behind it, I don't feel any psychological burden.

Whether it is foreign exchange reserves or gold reserves, it is the same.

When you need to buy supplies, you can use them all the same. On the contrary, there is a risk of depreciation of foreign exchange reserves.

The performance had already begun at this time, with the appearance of the announcer.

The first song is "My Motherland and I".

Uncle Nie has come back to his senses from Chen Changan's words.

Uncle Nie couldn't tell whether Chen Changan's words were true or not, and he wasn't sure whether to do so.

Will it be possible to double the country's foreign exchange reserves as Chen Changan said?

At least it's better than watching the money in your hands decrease day by day.

For things like this, you just need to report it. There will always be people who understand finance to determine whether it is true or false.

"My motherland and I cannot be separated for a moment."

As the song started, Uncle Nie was suddenly startled because he had never heard of this song before.

And judging from the first line of lyrics, it is a song singing about the motherland.

This is a sensitive period and all songs must meet the requirements.

It doesn’t mean that you can sing any song, especially in such a public occasion.

I don’t know how many pairs of eyes and ears are listening.

Why take the risk of singing new songs when there are so many songs that have been proven to be problem-free?

Uncle Nie's face suddenly turned dark.

"What's up with this song?"

"Don't worry, I wrote this song. Just listen to it slowly."

Considering that Chen Changan has always been reliable in doing things, and the song has already started.

It would be even worse to stop now. At least you have sung it, and we can tell whether there will be any problems later.

Stopping halfway through singing, doesn't this mean that you think there's something wrong with the song?

It makes people more likely to imagine what the lyrics behind your song are.

By then, the lyrics I arranged for you will be everywhere, and you will really be speechless.

"My motherland and I are like the sea and the waves."

After hearing this, Uncle Nie finally felt relieved.

At this point, the song is almost halfway through.

Uncle Nie didn't understand what the problem was. Instead, he became curious about this guy Chen Changan and how he knew everything.

He can design engines, manage factories, and write songs.

Moreover, this song is well-written and has ideological and educational significance.

"My dearest motherland, you are the sea that never dries up."

As the song ended, Uncle Nie was the first to lead the applause, and the whole audience applauded for a long time.

"Changan, this song is well written. I haven't heard such a good song for a long time.

How did you, a factory manager, come up with the idea of ​​writing songs, and write them so well? Isn't that a bit off-topic?"
