Chapter 364 Foreign Exchange Reserves
In this world, absolute fairness and justice are difficult to achieve.

No matter how sophisticated the system you design is, or how perfect the balance is, as long as the executors are human, there is room for maneuver.
Therefore, Li Changhe never thought about designing any selection system for this new award. All he had to do was to introduce external forces.

Apart from anything else, at least in the next twenty years, foreign-related issues will always be a very sensitive topic, and any department must pay attention to foreign-related matters.

What Li Changhe needs to do is to bring some joint venture films into the selection of this award.

As long as these films are included, the awards must be relatively fair and reliable so that the credibility of the awards can be maintained.

this is enough
After all, whether it is the Oscars or Cannes, there are also many inside stories.

Of course, Li Changhe also has his own little thoughts involved.

How could it be possible that my wife’s first film as a director didn’t win any awards?

It’s okay not to be evaluated, but you can’t not even have the chance to be evaluated. At least you have to get in and compete fairly.

Li Changhe's words also made several people present think about it.

"Since we need to be professional, we can't just have one opinion. I think we can give it a try."

"We can establish a fixed awards venue to spread the influence of our films, and even not just the participating films, but also the judges. At that time, I think we can also invite some judges from outside."

"They have been invited to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles conference. We can't exclude them from the awards. I think this proposal is acceptable."

Xia Yan spoke first at this time.

“Well, we can control the number of places and give co-productions some opportunities.”

“Like Comrade Changhe said, we must respond to the comrades who are getting close to us, and let them get closer and closer.”

"We can't close the door and shut people out."

Yu Min also said with a smile at this time.

It was actually his proposal to set up a new award. The fact that he agreed with Li Changhe's idea basically meant that Li Changhe's proposal was approved.

As for Chen Huangmei, he had even less objection.

Two hundred million US dollars in foreign exchange, what does that mean?
In 78, the country's foreign exchange balance was US$1.67 million, but in 79, the foreign exchange balance was counted as US$8.4 million.

It seems like a lot, but in fact, this is what the country gained by exporting a large amount of resources after the reform and opening up.

Moreover, the $8.4 million is not easy to spend. Now, in just over half a year, it is said that the foreign exchange has been spent. Now the government is borrowing money from the World Bank.

Therefore, two hundred million US dollars is definitely a timely help for the country today.

In fact, Li Changhe knew this data better than Chen Huangmei because he had checked it in his previous life.

In 1980, the country's foreign exchange reserves were negative.
-
$ 12.96 billion.

In other words, this year, the country not only had no foreign exchange, but also owed nearly 13 billion US dollars in foreign debt.

Of course, this is also because since this year, the country has imported a large amount of foreign industrial equipment, including launching many major projects to solve national economy and people's livelihood issues.

At this time, two hundred million US dollars is indeed a timely help for the national level, which is also the reason why the top leaders began to agree to this film and television base.

Short of money!
After the matter was settled, Li Changhe spoke less after the dinner. Mainly because he didn't dare to say anything careless about the next topic as it was too explicit.

They sat like this until about eight o'clock, when Li Changhe got up and said goodbye, saying he had to go back to school.

The old men didn't take it seriously. Anyway, Li Changhe couldn't get a word in on the topic they were talking about.

When you are with him, some topics are not suitable to talk about.

Let this guy go, so we can chat freely.

After Li Changhe went downstairs, he got on his electric bike and started walking towards the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

Going back to school is just an excuse. At this time, I must go home.

Riding his electric bike, Li Changhe walked towards the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

To be honest, on the roads in Beijing today, electric cars are definitely more convenient than cars. The roads in many alleys are actually not suitable for cars.

When I got home and opened the door, I heard sad music playing in the room. It was not a phonograph, but Zhu Lin's newly bought VCR.

With the advancement of Sino-Japanese relations, more and more Japanese goods, including electronic products, began to appear in Friendship Stores.

The Japanese company JVC launched its own VCR and videocassette tape in 1976, breaking the standards set by Sony and becoming the best-selling VCR on the market today.

The Friendship Store also received a batch of goods, and Zhu Lin bought them immediately.

The reason why it was the first time was because the manager of the Friendship Store informed her. Now the Friendship Store in Beijing also knew that Zhu Lin had a large amount of foreign exchange coupons, and they would inform Zhu Lin the first time if there was any good stuff.

Zhu Lin also accepted all offers. According to Li Changhe, the foreign exchange coupons had to be spent as much as possible to earn foreign exchange for the country.

Moreover, with a product that matches his profession, such as a video recorder, he no longer needs to go to the screening room. He can buy video tapes and watch them at home. Now she and Gong Xue watch movies at home.

The movie I watched was Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon"

"Changhe, come and see."

Seeing Li Changhe coming in, Zhu Lin hurriedly waved at him and said.

"Forget it, just watch me, I'm going to take a shower."

He had already seen "Rashomon" and knew the plot. If he watched it with them, there was a chance that the movie would be spoiled, which would be very boring.

So, let them think about it themselves.

Li Changhe went to the bathroom in the study to take a shower, change his clothes, and then sat down at the desk again, intending to continue writing his unfinished novel.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when I finished writing.

Shaking his sore wrist, Li Changhe looked at the manuscript he had written, and then threw it aside.

Writing these down does not mean they are finalized, and Li Changhe may make revisions at any time later.

Fortunately, he has no financial pressure now and can write according to his own preferences. If he were to rely on his work to make a living, he would be bored just revising the manuscript, especially if it was handwritten.

Thinking of this, Li Changhe actually missed having a computer very much.

In fact, there are typewriters today. The so-called "personal computer" launched by the famous Chinese tycoon Wang An in the United States is actually a typewriter with search and editing functions.

But these things are all in English, and Li Changhe is too lazy to use them.

Judging from the time, the American blue giant IBM may produce the first generation of PC prototype this year.

Unfortunately, Li Changhe cannot get involved in the computer industry at present because IBM has the patent at that time.

He had to wait another two years until IBM, under pressure from the US government's antitrust laws, announced it would release its personal computer patents, and only then could he enter the market.

But Li Changhe thought again at this time, should he kill Microsoft first?

Today's computer industry is not yet a mass industry in the United States, and computer software editing is even a niche industry within it. After all, hardware is the big deal nowadays, and software editing is not difficult.

One of the reasons why Microsoft was able to rise to prominence was its advantage in the graphical interface, and the Windows system was developed on this basis.

The other is to catch IBM's express train and first develop the Windows system for IBM. Then, when IBM gave up its personal computer patent, many computer companies such as HP and Dell took advantage of the opportunity to rise. Then, for graphics purposes, they directly used Microsoft's system, making Microsoft a giant in the system field.

If Li Changhe wants to attack Microsoft now, he may have a chance. Apart from anything else, he remembers that Microsoft's graphical interface was also purchased from other companies, and was not entirely developed by itself.

Moreover, this thing is niche now. In the United States, there are actually quite a few talented people in this area, because the overall program writing is relatively simple, and it has not yet become as complex as the Internet world in later generations.

Most importantly, Li Changhe felt that he could use the soon-to-explode computer and Internet industries to weave a sufficiently deep political and business network for himself in the United States, making it easier for him to do things there.

We can’t let such a big cake just go to the Jews!
Li Changhe stopped writing at this time, but sat there thinking.

The Jewish forces in the United States in the 1980s were actually not the emperors of the United States in later generations.

But they made the right bets one after another in the 1990s. When the Soviet Union collapsed and American industrial capital went overseas to conquer the world and seize physical industrial markets such as minerals, steel, and automobiles, the Jews bet on the emerging Internet and computer industries in China.

It’s not that they have vision, but they cannot compete with the Anglo-Saxons in terms of overseas assets.

However, this accidental choice allowed the Jews to steal the Anglo-Saxon home. With the help of the Internet, they completed the control and hegemony of the trinity of the Internet, media, and finance, and began to infiltrate into arms and industry with large amounts of funds.

After all, everyone wants to get involved in a profitable business. When the Internet became a global trend, if Anglo-Saxon capital wanted to come in, it had to exchange its high-quality shares.

This is how the Jews gradually became the emperors of the United States.

But now, it’s only 80 years, and Li Changhe feels that he can definitely steal something from it.

At that time, whether it is uniting with Anglo-Saxons to deal with Jews, or uniting with Jews to deal with Anglo-Saxons, the Three Kingdoms strategy will be played out.

It didn't matter even if his weakest "Dongwu" was destroyed first. Anyway, he could get the technology and industry talents and transfer them back to China.

The most important thing is that doing this business there now will not attract any attention.

After all, computers are not a hot industry in the United States at the moment, and the American government will not consider whether you are a threat to national security, otherwise how could Wang An have built such a big company.

Niche leading industries are not taken seriously by senior management.

No one could have imagined that computers and the Internet would completely change the entire world.

Li Changhe was thinking constantly at this time until there was a knock on the door of the room.

Then Zhu Lin opened the door and walked in.
