1714 Federal Wine Is Expensive
"This is a contract!"
The slightly famous gentleman took out a few pages and showed them, "We got an order. They ordered 5 million worth of goods and signed a 50 million contract!"
"You may not quite understand what this means. To put it simply, as long as we can complete the first part, which is the five million, they will continue to order 50 million products with us!"
“And the price they gave is very suitable, only slightly lower than the market retail price, and we don’t need to bear the shipping cost!”
The slightly famous gentleman's tone was full of something that could arouse people's enthusiasm, and the middle-aged man seemed to be gradually getting into his rhythm.
In his ears, only one voice echoed fifty million times!
He didn't know what fifty million was, but he knew that he would never be able to earn this money in his life!
But now, there was an opportunity for him to achieve what he, his father, his grandfather, and all his ancestors had wanted to do, a class jump.
All he needs to do is make a suitable choice!
He picked up the coffee and took a long sip nervously, "I'm going to interrupt you a little bit, what product did they order?"
"A kind of...", the slightly famous gentleman thought for a while, "a large musical instrument. In fact, this thing is not often used by people here, but what about it?"
“As long as someone wants it and we can produce it and sell it, that’s enough!”
Yes, the middle-aged man nodded, "That's right, so what does it mean to become a shareholder?"
The slightly famous gentleman held out a finger and said, "If you just lend me money, then you can only get a very rigid interest rate."
"But if you use this money to invest in shares, then we can share the final profits together. I estimate it will be about 15 million to 20 million!"
The middle-aged man swallowed. He didn't expect that doing business would be so profitable!
"Then how much of this million can I get?"
The slightly famous gentleman gave an approximate figure, "About two million to three million!"
"Listen, you can get not only this time's return, but also all future business profits, you can get dividends from it. Do you understand what I mean?"
The middle-aged man nodded subconsciously, and he had already realized the benefits of investing in the stock!
He can keep dividing the money. As long as the factory does not close down and there is still profit, he can invest once and divide it for the rest of his life!
If the factory never closes down in its lifetime!
But then, he discovered another problem, which was also the most fundamental problem.
This money is not his, but belongs to a group of people.
"I need to discuss..."
The slightly famous gentleman asked his secretary to take them to another room instead of leaving them outside the door.
Soon the middle-aged man came back a little frustrated, "I can't convince them. According to my opinion, it is definitely better to invest in shares, but they all want interest..."
He emphasized his position and tried to express that it was not his fault!
The slightly famous gentleman also sighed with regret, but still comforted him a few words, "Although I can't get any money, I don't need to take the possible risks. This is actually quite good."
"You can call them all in, and we can sign the contract..."
This is a one-year contract, with an interest payment of 50,000 yuan per month. As for how to divide it, it has nothing to do with the famous gentleman, and everyone agrees.
Although they are a little confused about the total term of the loan, because it used to be eighteen months, but now it is only one year.
But overall, they accepted it.
In the words of the slightly famous gentleman, he will no longer need the money after one year and will naturally not continue to borrow money.
It may be that he is about to pocket tens of millions of profits, which gives everyone enough peace of mind. In short, this transaction is proceeding very normally.
Everyone got what they wanted...
This matter is not the end here, it is actually continuing to ferment and spread.
During this time, more and more Penjiao businessmen have received an order, a foreign trade order.
Merchants issuing these orders are located all over the world, and orders have even been placed in member countries of the World Development Council.
The contents of the orders were all kinds of strange, and there seemed to be nothing strange about them except that the goods they requested were a bit strange.
Musical instruments, cars, even tableware with local characteristics, and works of art are all included in the order list.
Moreover, the number of orders is very large, often starting from hundreds of thousands to millions, and some large items directly reach the scale of tens of millions.
In the past, it cannot be said that there were no such orders, but it was absolutely impossible for ordinary merchants to accept them.
Such orders are often intercepted by the upper echelons of society.
But now that the war has broken out, and the core strength of the country is serving the war, it is small factories like them that have the opportunity to contact these orders.
Some people don't believe it. For example, a businessman who sells tableware doesn't believe that a country he has never heard of can need two million knives and forks at once.
And the price given is not low. If you buy so much at once, do you plan to keep it to build a house?
These people will reflect on this question, why are there so many orders suddenly and explosively?
But some people believe that this is normal commercial trade, because the war has brought international trade into a slow or even stagnant state.
Countries are becoming more and more dependent on some imported goods, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger. No one knows what will happen in the future. It is better to eat a batch of goods in one go and sell them slowly!
The federal side also reported a sharp increase in their foreign trade orders, and some Pengeo capitalists even managed to obtain newspapers with relevant content.
The federal people were also a little surprised by the sudden increase in foreign trade orders, but they felt that this was just a pure trade behavior. After they briefly mentioned it, they talked about how many jobs these things could create for society.
Hypocritical federal people...
People don't pay attention to that, they just pay attention to the fact that something similar happened to the Federals and they started executing the orders.
Those who didn’t believe it still chose not to believe it, while those who chose to believe it started working overtime to expand!
One characteristic of these orders is that while their quantities are large, the delivery deadlines are also very short.
Therefore, it is impossible to fulfill orders without expansion, but for the capitalists, isn’t this exactly what they hope for?
Becoming bigger and stronger is not a slogan, it is the future that every capitalist longs for!
Some capitalists have money, or they have some ways to get money from banks.
But there are also some capitalists... They can't be called capitalists yet, they are just businessmen at the bottom.
They have the ambition and motivation to become capitalists, but they have no money and cannot get loans.
Fortunately, a behavior of absorbing funds at high interest rates is quietly emerging in society. They followed suit and made a lot of money!
The relevant departments of the Pengeo Empire also discovered these things, but after conducting a sample investigation, they found no problems, so they did not take more care.
They asked some of the governments of the countries that placed the orders, and even directly asked the institutions that placed the orders. Everything was legal, complete procedures were in place, and the procedures were followed.
No one continues to pay attention to the abnormality behind this phenomenon. The big guys only care about the development of the war, and the little guys only care about whether they can get money!
In early August, federal orders for alcohol products surged around the world, and Prohibition was fully implemented.
The federal government is not destroying alcoholic beverages that already exist in society, that's not what they should be doing.
They just shut down all brewing companies and repeatedly warned everyone not to brew, transport, or sell alcoholic beverages without permission.
Revolving around alcoholic beverages, underground forces within the Federation have also begun to make new moves.
Because Prohibition was promulgated before the actual ban on brewing, transportation, and sales, many alcoholics, people who liked to have a drink, and even ordinary people who had money would not buy it before. few.
Everyone knows that once a total ban on alcohol begins to be implemented, the prices of these things will definitely skyrocket!
This is a policy with the participation of all the people, which also leads to the fact that the "Alcohol Prohibition" has not been actually implemented, and all grades of alcohol on the market have been sold out!
This also gives gangs a new direction to make profits. As long as there is money to be made and as long as they are not monopolized by capital, they will flock here!
In just one week in August, the Federal Parliament submitted and passed a new proposal.
The content of the proposal is to establish a new vertical agency to manage contraband including but not limited to alcoholic beverages, the manufacture, transportation and trafficking of which are prohibited by federal legislation.
This department is called the "Dangerous Goods and Contraband Investigation Bureau", including some special medical drugs, special effects drugs, etc., are also included in it.
It's just that medicines can still be used in hospitals, but people are not allowed to make or sell them for their own use.
This investigation bureau will be established by recruiting officers from local police stations and the FBI. Congress will allocate 400 million in the first phase and will be established directly in more than 200 cities in the federation.
Then do it as appropriate.
The establishment of a new law enforcement agency has become a matter of great concern within the government, because the new department represents new opportunities. Some deputies from other departments are actively seeking to join the new investigation bureau. For a time, this investigation bureau has also become became the focus of social discussion.
Liquor, the Bureau of Investigation, the things people care about most.
As soon as the Bureau of Investigation was established, it began to crack down on the brewing, transportation and sale of illegal liquor. It is said that family workshops have become the hardest hit area.
Because making moonshine is not a very complicated process, most people can figure it out a few times.
In some slightly less developed areas, there is even a tradition of making moonshine!
It is difficult to conceal large-scale brewing, and the main target of the investigation is this family-based workshop.
The effect is very good.
For a time, federal wine was expensive...
