Chapter 145: Economics also requires a strategic vision (asking for monthly tickets)
"What a beauty"
"My sister is really as the rumors say, with a sweet smile and beautiful looks."
At this time, Zhu Lin lifted Gong Xue's chin frivolously and said with a smile.
At this time, Gong Xue's face was flushed with shame, and she felt inexplicably embarrassed about being teased.
"What kind of rubbish is this?"
Zhu Lin couldn't continue acting at this time. He looked at the lines in his hands, feeling helpless.
She and Gong Xue are performing here, and the first few scenes are all fine, playing roles like waitresses, sales clerks, educated youth women, etc., and they are all quite normal.
Except for this one, she plays a young lady in the Republic of China, who likes to dress up as a man and tease women.
This is all a mess.
Not far away, seeing the stiff postures of Zhu Lin and Gong Xue, Li Changhe knew that the two could not continue acting.
"I wrote this character based on Kong Lingkan, the eldest daughter of the Kong family in the Republic of China period. This woman likes to dress up as a man."
"In addition, there was another person who was a famous Japanese spy back then."
"These are all images commonly used in film and television dramas. For you, it's considered cross-dressing."
"Just like the female roles in Peking Opera, Mr. Mei also plays the female role as a man."
Li Changhe saw the two men coming over and knew that they would definitely question him, so he immediately spoke first and gave them a lecture.
Sure enough, after hearing Li Changhe's speech, even bringing up Mr. Mei Lanfang as an example, what else could they say?
"When acting in this kind of play, the first thing you need to overcome is your own shortcomings."
"Just like you, Gong Xue, you blush and become shy all the time. You are naturally excellent at playing the role of an educated youth, but do you only want to play one type of role in your life?"
"Let's change to something more difficult. If I ask you to play a rich lady in the Republic of China, can you perform that kind of charming and charming performance?"
"Linlin, you too, even though you are the director, you have to understand how you want the actors to behave in this scene."
“If you don’t have an image in your mind yourself, how can you tell others how to act?”
"This kind of advance practice is better than cramming at the last minute."
"Besides, I'm considering the reality. Letting you two girls practice here can reduce the difficulty."
Li Changhe said righteously.
After listening to this, Gong Xue was somewhat moved.
Yes, I didn't think it through just now. This is indeed a training for my character weaknesses.
"I understand, brother-in-law. I will try my best to overcome it."
At this time, Gong Xue said to Li Changhe with a firm look.
Zhu Lin on the side seemed to be thinking about something. She was somewhat immune to Li Changhe's twisted logic.
Although it sounds reasonable, it is definitely not what this guy meant.
Seeing that his wife didn't quite believe him, Li Changhe sat back on a stone with a guilty conscience after he finished speaking.
Of course he had no bad intentions, he just wanted to give his wife some bad fun when he was writing to the end.
Besides, what he said was right. Women disguising themselves as men was indeed a common practice in spy movies.
Although she suspected that Li Changhe had other purposes, Zhu Lin did not give up because she felt that what Li Changhe said did make sense.
So next, the two of them patiently "tease" each other. Gong Xue teased Zhu Lin, and then Zhu Lin teased Gong Xue, honing their acting skills.
Li Changhe would take a few glances at it in his spare time.
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
The main thing is this scene, you don’t want to look at it too much!
After the practice, the three of them walked to the door of the General Political Department. After watching Gong Xue go in, the two of them walked home.
"Changhe, do you think our movies will become more and more relaxed in the future?"
Zhu Lin asked Li Changhe hesitantly.
Li Changhe smiled and said, "You watched The Manhunt too. Was it interesting?"
"Of course it looks good."
"Think about it, why would the higher-ups allow this kind of movie to be shown? This kind of movie is a typical entertainment movie."
"Of course, movies are an important ideological propaganda tool after all, so they won't be completely liberalized all at once, but I think the limits will be relaxed little by little."
Li Changhe remembered reading in his previous life that some books had written that the scale of filming in the 1980s was much larger than that in later generations.
Apart from anything else, when he was a child, he watched the TV series Investiture of the Gods, and some of the scenes in it were really quite explicit.
"The country will announce reforms by the end of the year, and once the reforms begin, many of our previous ideas will be relaxed and changed."
"Showing Japanese movies is just the beginning."
Early the next morning, Li Changhe rode his bicycle to take Zhu Lin to the bus to the Film Academy.
Then I rode my bike to Peking University.
Now Li Changhe has unloaded all his burdens and has no more tasks, so he naturally devoted himself to studying.
During this period, he maintained a frequency of calling Hong Kong Island once a week, and the calls were basically made to Director Lu's office, as their office phone could directly call Hong Kong Island.
Back in Hong Kong, Bao Yugang did not break his promise after returning. He arranged for someone to go to the United States to start preparing a trading team for the futures market.
At the same time, arrange for funds to flow to the Americans.
About half a month later, when it was November, Li Changhe finally received the news that the American team had been formed.
At the same time, the price of silver futures also recovered. Today, silver futures are priced at around US$5.87 per ounce.
Li Changhe gave instructions without hesitation, asking the American team to quietly start buying into the silver contract.
Today's silver futures contracts in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange are in a constant margin model rather than a floating one.
The margin for a silver futures contract is $1000, and one contract represents 5000 ounces of silver, which is worth about $3.
Li Changhe's one million US dollars can buy 1000 silver contracts.
But Li Changhe certainly would not bet everything on one bet. After all, even if someone was the banker, there was no guarantee that there would not be fluctuations in the middle market.
Therefore, he finally only let the team take up $800 worth of silver contracts, or lots, and the remaining $ was used as backup to supplement the force.
After doing all this, Li Changhe stopped taking any action.
Next, all we have to do is wait quietly for the two brothers to go crazy.
Of course, during this period, Li Changhe and the Hong Kong side also emphasized one thing, which is that they must instruct the operating team not to make decisions on their own.
Li Changhe was worried that the operating team would act on their own and give out the contract as soon as they saw profit, so he emphasized this to the contact person there.
After returning to school, when Li Changhe came to the dormitory, he saw a group of people inside who were filled with indignation.
"what happened?"
Seeing the atmosphere in the dormitory, Li Changhe was a little surprised.
"Changhe, look at this. I didn't expect that we raised such an ungrateful person."
Old Tao angrily threw a newspaper in front of Li Changhe.
Li Changhe picked it up and took a look. It was full of news about the conflict with the neighboring country to the south.
"We helped them resist the Americans a few years ago, but we didn't expect that they were the wolves and now they are biting us back."
Kou Kuige also said angrily that he was originally from the army, and as a soldier, he was even more angry about this matter. Li Changhe looked at it for a few times, then shook his head and put down the newspaper.
"Changhe, you're not angry?"
Seeing that Li Changhe looked calm, Lao Tao asked with some dissatisfaction.
Li Changhe looked at him and asked calmly, "What's the point of being angry?"
"They are not biting back, they are being used as pawns."
"The dog is disobedient, so just give it a good beating!"
"The higher-ups haven't said anything specific yet, but since it's in the newspaper, it means it's a big deal."
"I just can't understand how a small country like them dares to do this?"
Lao Tao said angrily.
Li Changhe looked at him, then said seriously: "They are not small now."
"Old Kou, don't you have a world map? Take it out!"
Kou Kuige pulled out a folded world map from the bed and took it down.
"What do you mean, Changhe?"
"Well, we are in the Department of Political Economy. Today I will tell you what is called arrogance."
The map was spread out, and several people around the dormitory gathered around, looking at the map curiously.
"This matter should actually be linked together."
"Go ahead, the Americans will invade them, and we won't talk about our assistance."
"The turning point came a few years ago, because of table tennis, we had a breakthrough in our relations with the United States."
"I guess the South is beginning to be dissatisfied with us now. After all, the Americans are their enemies."
"But at that time it still needed our assistance, so we kept the dissatisfaction in our hearts."
"In 73, they stopped fighting with the U.S., and their top leaders came to Beijing."
"That year, they came to Beijing, not to express gratitude, but to ask for 80 billion yuan in annual aid."
"It's such a tiny place, but they want 80 billion in aid a year. It's such a huge request. I think it's more of a test than a request, a test of our attitude."
"So in the end, this aid was reduced to 25 billion."
"There is an important person in their delegation. This person is now the ruler of Annan. Well, he is a militarist."
"And now look at the map. Our surroundings: here, here, and here!"
Li Changhe made a circle in the east, north, and west respectively.
"The west and north are the territory of the Mao Bear, and the east is actually the same. The Mao Bear is close to the outer periphery of the northeast, and the east itself is swaying, warming itself at both ends."
Kou Kuige said seriously.
At this time, the five Central Asian countries to the west of our country are still members of the Soviet Union and are its territory, while the outskirts of Changbai Mountain in the north are the territories that the Qing Dynasty ceded to the Soviet Union.
"This circle, you say, if we add the south side!"
Li Changhe then drew another circle in the south, and the situation became clear at once.
"They are surrounded on all sides. So, they have contacted the Russian bear in the south?"
At this moment, Lao Tao suddenly realized and said.
It’s not his fault that he can’t see clearly in this era. After so many years of isolation, there are really not many young people with international strategic vision.
"There is no definite news now, but I guess that if it dares to start a border conflict, it must have someone backing it up."
"There are only two countries in the world that can give them such courage: the United States and the Russian bear."
"It's impossible for the Americans. After all, they almost killed it just now."
"The remaining one is very obvious."
Li Changhe said calmly.
There are some things that he is not suitable to say now, for example, Russia should have signed a mutual assistance treaty with Annan, with a term of 25 years and an annual aid of 1 billion US dollars.
How could Russia give Vietnam one billion U.S. dollars in aid for no reason?
To put it bluntly, some people are anxious when they see that China and the United States are about to establish diplomatic relations.
Then, China and the United States tacitly began to bleed the Russian bear.
Many people in later generations believed that it was Afghanistan, the graveyard of empires, that dragged down the Soviet Union for ten years.
But we have to say that we have been working in Annan for ten years in Laoshan. Even though Annan's economy was reduced to ruins by the Americans, it was able to persist for ten years. The source of funds behind it is self-evident.
"I see. I was wondering why this ungrateful bastard was so bold. It turns out he has found a new backer."
"I should not have helped them back then."
After Li Changhe's analysis, several people in the dormitory suddenly understood everything.
"Actually, at this time, I think I should go find Teacher Lu."
Li Changhe said thoughtfully at this time.
"Looking for Teacher Lu?"
"why?"
Several people looked at Li Changhe curiously.
Li Changhe said slowly: "Your economic geography class is really wasted."
"Think about what Mr. Lu said. In any country, based on its topography, there are only a few cities in the region that are suitable for economic development."
"It's said in Capital that the economic base determines the superstructure. What are we fighting for?"
"Wars are fought for resources. The sound of a cannon brings a fortune."
"Economic cities are the economic lifeline of a country. They may not be the most important in terms of geographical strategy, but they are definitely the focus of the country in terms of national strategy."
"I think it would be useful to have a good discussion with Professor Lu, write a few analysis articles and submit them to the military newspaper."
Li Changhe said thoughtfully at this time.
Kou Kuige was a soldier, and he immediately understood what Li Changhe meant.
"Good fellow, Changhe, you are really smart. Why should I submit this to a military newspaper? I will just write it and submit it to the internal publication."
"Whether we fight back or not, let's mark out these important locations first."
"Why the hell didn't I think of destroying these bastards financially!"
"Yes, let's go find Teacher Lu and analyze it carefully."
At this time, a group of people excitedly went to find Teacher Lu.
Li Changhe followed behind with a smile on his face.
In the past, he thought that it was too exaggerated to be able to plan and win the battle from thousands of miles away, but now he imagines that with more knowledge, this situation is really possible.
If his memory serves him right, we'll have crushed those bastards in a matter of months.
However, when we left later, we heard that they only dismantled a few industrial towns, which was not worth the cost!
So now, it should be effective to publish some economic discussions in advance!
After all, Li Changhe admired Mr. Lu's economic ideas very much. In ancient times, he would definitely be a top strategic strategist.
(In 79, Professor Lu Zhuoming reviewed this war and told his students that the key economic strategic points were ignored when the troops withdrew. This teacher's military strategic level is also quite high.)
