Chapter 298: Shortage of Gold
"Chairman, we have detected several new variants at the entry point, and these new variants are resistant to Lanfu Anning."
Li Qingye raised his eyebrows. This situation was actually within his expectations.
After all, Lanvin is an antibiotic. Once it is abused on a large scale, drug resistance is basically inevitable.
"Then let's put the Langfu Anning 3rd generation on the market!"
"Another problem is that the amount of money circulating internationally has decreased recently, and many regions do not have enough money to purchase our new drugs."
Li Qingye turned around and told Sangjibada Layal, "Notify Wang Xinya from the Finance Department later. I want to know the current financial situation."
"yes."
After a while, Tian Hemeng went offline.
Then Wang Xinya from the Finance Department came online.
Hearing Li Qingye's question, Wang Xinya also had a headache, and she quickly explained:
"Chairman, because all countries have exchanged their gold reserves for gold, except for Persia which has 57.7 billion gold reserves, the gold reserves of other countries combined are less than 3 billion."
"I remember that the Saudi Kingdom seemed to have obtained a batch of gold coins using oil and natural gas, right?"
Wang Xinya nodded: "Yes, the new contract is 22 billion yuan. In addition, other oil-producing countries are negotiating with us, hoping to exchange oil for gold yuan."
"Will America allow them to do this?"
Wang Xinya smiled and shook her head: "People die for money, birds die for food. They did not cooperate with us directly, but used the name of an offshore company."
Upon hearing the news, Li Qingye reacted immediately.
Most of the products of Sapiens Company are food, new medicines and high-value-added high-tech products.
Even if these countries cannot digest the huge production capacity themselves, they can still engage in re-export trade.
For example, Persia uses this method to transport new medicines, gas-powered vehicles, and electronic products produced by Sapiens to Central Asia.
Similarly, Saudi Arabia is also expected to have plans in this regard.
After all, after Europe and the United States completely banned the entry of Sapiens products, the demand for Sapiens products in Europe and the United States did not actually decrease.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia saw this business opportunity and planned to develop medical tourism.
As for the pressure from America, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can still withstand it at this stage. After the Fifth Fleet was severely damaged, its main warships returned to North America for repairs.
The US military stationed in the Persian Gulf at this time was half of the Seventh Fleet, and some old warships that had been sealed were also reactivated.
Seeing that America was easily defeated by the Homo Sapiens company, all parties in West Asia became active and started to make small moves in secret.
This is the consequence of the decline of hegemony.
America's military power is the foundation of its global hegemony.
Once there is a problem with America's military strength, backlash is bound to follow.
Now all parties in West Asia dare to pretend to obey America but actually disobey it because they are sure that America will not resort to military action in the near future.
Moreover, the Sapiens Company's Ceylon Ocean Fleet also frequently appears in the Persian Gulf. If America dares to attack any party in West Asia, then the Sapiens Company will certainly secretly support some forces to drag the US military into the quagmire of war.
After all, the whole world now knows that the Assam incident was manipulated by the Sapiens company.
The confrontation between India and Assam greatly affected the development of India in other areas.
After a strategic analysis, the Pentagon found that if it used force in West Asia, the probability of Homo Sapiens taking action would be very high.
This gives all parties in West Asia the opportunity to play it both ways.
…
Li Qingye's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness: "If that's all, it's not enough. We need to take the initiative."
"Take the initiative?" Wang Xinya was stunned.
"I will arrange this. Please be prepared. By the way, how much gold reserves does the company have at present?"
Wang Xinya recalled for a moment: "The total amount of gold in all districts is about 1,273 tons, and we have issued a total of 2.83 trillion yuan, slightly exceeding the upper limit of physical gold issuance by four times."
After thinking for a while, Wang Xinya added: "In fact, the gold and yuan in our country are mainly used for employee salaries, and there is no need to use gold as collateral."
Li Qingye was naturally very clear about this.
After all, employees' wages will eventually return to the company through consumption, and this part of the money is actually tied to the means of production of the Zhiren Company.
“What percentage does it account for in terms of employee wages?”
Wang Xinya pulled up a data: "Currently, the median monthly income of the company's employees is 3,224 yuan, and the monthly salary expenditure is 1.24 trillion yuan. The monthly consumption recovery is about 700 billion yuan, and more than 500 billion yuan will be saved by employees."
Li Qingye shook his head: "We need to strengthen consumption guidance. What's the point of saving so much money?"
"We have already stepped up our efforts in this area, such as in automobiles, electronic products, medical beauty, and cultural entertainment, to attract employees to increase consumption."
In fact, there is no need for too much deposit within the Sapiens company. After all, the company has already taken care of many basic services.
Therefore, the employees of Sapiens are also a group with relatively high consumption levels among all economies in the world.
The purchasing power of gold yuan within the Sapiens company is very strong. If calculated based on local purchasing power, the purchasing power of gold yuan is equivalent to about 1.7 to 2.1 euros.
In Europe, in the relatively high-income region of Germany, the median monthly income per capita is only 2,500 euros (after tax).
This is the power of Sapiens.
In terms of comprehensive strength, Sapiens is stronger than the European Union because the EU cannot be self-sufficient in energy and minerals.
However, Sapiens companies can be self-sufficient in energy, minerals, food, fertilizers, daily necessities and high-tech products.
Recently, due to the impact of the Kiev war, the EU's energy import prices have soared, and old Europe is almost being fleeced by America.
Likewise, energy import prices in East Asia have soared.
Although the Strait of Malacca has resumed navigation, there is also the more convenient Kra Canal.
But the problem now is that the Homo Sapiens company only accepts cash, which forces the East Asian countries to suffer this loss.
What is even more troublesome is that the industrial chains of Zhiren Company and East Asia are highly overlapped.
From semiconductors and electronics to shipbuilding.
From daily necessities to steel and non-ferrous metals.
From automobiles and machinery to fertilizers and chemicals.
Both sides are almost highly overlapping.
This means that East Asia cannot earn money by selling products to Homo sapiens companies.
The only industries that can obtain foreign exchange are film production and cultural entertainment.
Japan's romance films and animation, South Korea's Korean comics and girl groups, and China's online literature have become the core industries for earning money and foreign exchange in East Asia.
After all, there is no piracy within Zhiren Company, and when it comes to paying for cultural and entertainment products, employees can only go through official channels.
With a total population of 620 million, the spending on cultural and entertainment products in the Homo sapiens company is extremely high.
Although the price offered by Sapiens was very low, a number of East Asian cultural and entertainment companies were happy to accept it.
For example, for movie tickets, Zhiren Company charges 5 yuan for its employees, and the movie company can get a 2 yuan share.
Those good movies can often sell hundreds of millions of movie .
You should know that at that time, the Jinyuan was the real hard currency. From the perspective of actual purchasing power, the exchange rate of Jinyuan to Huayuan was basically around 1:15.
Therefore, cultural and entertainment products from East Asia have become rare products that can sell well within the Sapiens company.
Of course, the development of Zhiren Company in the cultural and entertainment industry is also very rapid, and the competition in these cultural and entertainment industries will become more and more fierce in the future.
