Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 183, Explosion!!! The Virgin Mary is not desirable!

In early June 1959, Zhao Mancang came to Iowa in North America and found a local company called Boyent Grain Company to buy grain from them.

In order to distinguish the grain from the one he bought last time, Zhao Mancang specifically asked the grain company to change the packaging bags this time.

This time, Zhao Mancang ordered 100 million jin of grain.

The system space can only hold 50 million kilograms of grain at a time, so Zhao Mancang is only ordering this time, not purchasing.

This means that he will come at the agreed time to complete the remaining grain transaction.

After finishing these things, Zhao Mancang flew to Vancouver.

After arriving in Vancouver, he took out all the weapons, trucks, airplanes, etc. in the system space and stored them in a secret location.

He then took a flight back to Iowa and completed the transaction of 50 million kilograms of grain.

This time, he flew directly to Vancouver and then headed straight to Tokyo.

After arriving in Tokyo, he flew to Bohai entirely on his own.

In early June, he made deals with Johnson of the Los Angeles Rutile Refinery and Walker Krugrat of the Walker Company.

A lot of rutile was sold, 300 tons of the former and 100 tons of the latter.

The prices were slightly different, but Zhao Mancang got a lot of arms from Walker Company, even a submarine.

As for aircraft carriers, although Zhao Mancang is brave enough, he is not impulsive.

Even if you really want to buy an aircraft carrier, you have to wait for a good time.

Sam's family hasn't gotten into chaos yet. Going to someone else's base to buy an aircraft carrier at this time is not brave, it is courting death.

The most important point is that the system space cannot accommodate an aircraft carrier, so he can’t buy it.

He didn't dare to touch this thing until the system space was upgraded.

After completing the transaction, Zhao Mancang quickly purchased food and rushed to Bohai.

At the Tianjin Wharf, Zhao Mancang met his old acquaintances Li Qizhen, Wu Shengli and others.

But he did not meet these people, but hid himself.

The radio message has been delivered, and Zhao Mancang believes that Yuan Yushan and Ma Jiugong will arrive soon.

Zhao Mancang took out all 50 million kilograms of grain from a barren mountain about ten kilometers away from the Tianjin Wharf, near the shore.

Yuan Yushan and Ma Jiugong didn't make him wait long and appeared in front of him in less than five hours.

"Comrade Li, is it really you?"

It was already past three in the morning and it was still very dark. Yuan Yushan and the others could not see clearly, but they were alert and excited, and Zhao Mancang could hear it very clearly.

"Comrade Yuan, Comrade Ma, it's me. Hello, long time no see."

Zhao Mancang walked out of the darkness and greeted Yuan Yushan and the others without blushing or beating his heart. As for the several security staff behind them, he simply ignored them.

He had seen it last time that Yuan Yushan and Ma Jiugong were definitely not just simple black market middlemen. Now this time, they directly brought the security department here, which was enough to explain everything.

The security department staff are completely different from ordinary militiamen, because most of the security department staff are veterans. Although they are older, their marksmanship, marching and fighting, experience and momentum are not comparable to those of the militiamen.

Zhao Mancang, who has a lot of contact with security personnel, is of course very clear about this.

"It's you, Comrade Li. Why did you choose to trade here this time?"

Yuan Yushan and Ma Jiugong were extremely surprised. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still very excited after seeing it with their own eyes.

"That's not important. Comrade Li, what are you trading this time? It's not the big truck you mentioned last time, is it?"

Ma Jiugong quickly spoke, looking at Zhao Mancang expectantly and asked.

"It's not a truck, it's food. 50 million kilograms of food, can you eat it all?"

hiss!
Zhao Mancang's words immediately made Yuan Yushan and Ma Jiugong gasp.

At the same time, they also contributed 199 experience points to Zhao Mancang respectively, which suddenly left Zhao Mancang with only three-digit experience points balance, and broke through to four digits again.

Unfortunately, it is still a long way from breaking through five digits.

Thinking of this, Zhao Mancang couldn't help but become more determined to complete more transactions with Ma Jiugong and the others.

In addition to making money, he also uses his own tricks to help the land under his feet to the best of his ability.

The transaction of 50 million kilograms of grain lasted nearly three hours.

Even so, this is under the premise that Zhao Mancang requires the transaction to be completed quickly. Otherwise, the transaction will definitely not be completed before dawn.

The price of grain transaction this time is the same as before, which is calculated at 1.4 cents per catty. 50 million catties of grain is 7 million RMB.

The 7 million RMB was converted into gold at the price of 4 RMB per gram, totaling 1.75 million grams, or 1.75 tons.

Taking away 1.75 tons of gold from Yuan Yushan and his men made Zhao Mancang feel a little amused and helpless.

Because this batch of gold obviously includes the gold he brought back from the 108 departments before, even the big goldfish has not changed.

Just after Zhao Mancang separated from Yuan Yushan and others, took a submarine to the outside of Bohai, and then changed to a seaplane to return to Tokyo, he suddenly received the experience points of Li Qizheng, Wu Shengli, and Jia Dingwen.

It immediately caused his surprise.

Li Qizhen and the other two were three ordinary dock patrol crew members whom Zhao Mancang, Zuo Changsheng and the other two met when they were returning through the Jincheng Wharf after completing their mission in Kimura at the end of January.

Originally, Zhao Mancang would not care about them, but unexpectedly, they each contributed 59 experience points.

You have to know that this time he is using the identity of "Comrade Li", which is completely different from his real identity last time.

Perhaps the system only recognizes people and does not need to distinguish between pseudonyms and the real person.

Anyway, earning experience points is a good thing for Zhao Mancang.

What Zhao Mancang didn't know was that Li Qizhen and his men had indeed come from the dock to this barren mountain to help transport food.

Fifty million kilograms of grain is a very large amount. It is impossible to transport it all quickly relying solely on Yuan Yushan and his men.

What's more, it was almost dawn, and they had to transport the food as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.

As a result, not only ordinary patrol crew members like Li Qizhen, but even their leader Yu Zhongshi were alarmed.

"Leader, where does this food come from? Is it from the sea?"

Yu Zhongshi followed behind Yuan Yushan and asked in a flattering tone.

As the person in charge of the Tianjin Wharf, Yu Zhongshi actually didn't know when so much grain arrived, which was a serious dereliction of duty.

So he had to find out where all the food came from, otherwise he would not be able to sleep or eat.

But Yuan Yushan was too lazy to pay attention to him and did not explain where the food came from. He just warned Yu Zhongshi that from now on this barren mountain would be under the responsibility of their capital, and they were not allowed to send people to patrol from the Tianjin wharf.

Because when they were trading with Zhao Mancang just now, Yuan Yushan and the others asked Zhao Mancang if he would be here the next time they traded.
Although the barren mountain is not very good, it is hidden enough and close to the sea, which is very suitable for Zhao Mancang to transport grain.

Yuan Yushan and Ma Jiugong had already received instructions from their superiors and would not take the initiative to inquire how Zhao Mancang would transport the grain. They only looked at the results.

Yu Zhongshi was very unwilling, but he was relieved. After all, Yuan Yushan and others were there to support him, so he didn't need to be responsible if anything happened. This was pretty good.

While feeling unwilling, Yu Zhongshi was also very curious about what was going on.

If it is a formal channel, why not complete the loading and unloading at the dock?

But, if it is a secret channel, then why are there no signs of loading and unloading on the shore near the barren mountain and other places?

Why is it?

Not to mention Yu Zhongshi's curiosity, Ma Jiugong and Yuan Yushan were also very curious, but they had traded with Zhao Mancang many times and were used to it.

Anyway, the leader said that we don’t care about the process, we only care about the results.

A day later, Zhao Mancang came back again, this time bringing back three hundred large trucks.

When three hundred large trucks appeared in front of them, Yuan Yushan and Ma Jiugong were completely stunned, and Zhao Mancang was also stunned.

Because Yuan Yushan and the others each gave him a large amount of experience points, one was 399, and Ma Jiugong was 499 experience points.

Wow, this is the first time for Zhao Mancang, and also the first time since he obtained the system, that he has received so many experience points at one time.

"Damn it! If I'd known I could get experience points this way, I would have done it a long time ago. Damn it!"

"Next time, we must upgrade the system space and transport more goods at once. Then, Yuan Yushan and the others will surely be able to gain more experience points, right?"

"But it seems they don't have that much gold and US dollars."

For a moment, Zhao Mancang thought a lot.

First of all, one thing can be confirmed, Zhao Mancang definitely does not need RMB, because it is useless for him to have so much RMB.

Gold and US dollars are not so easy to obtain. After all, the transaction between him and Yuan Yushan is not very large, but 50 million kilograms of grain is already 1.75 tons of gold.

What if it is 500 million kilograms of grain?
That’s 17.5 tons of gold!

Our current domestic gold reserves are only about 4 to 5 million ounces, which is equivalent to 141 tons of gold.

With such a small amount of gold reserves, it is impossible to use it all to buy food, right?
Even if it is used to purchase other industrial products such as large trucks, it is unlikely to happen.

So, here's where the problem lies.

Once the gold reserves reach the warning line, Yuan Yushan and others will definitely be unlikely to continue trading with Zhao Mancang, even if the goods he brings back are very powerful and tempting.

If he doesn't trade with Yuan Yushan and the others, it means he has to give up these two experience value tools.

"Forget it, why think so much? The boat will straighten itself out when it reaches the end. We'll see then."

Zhao Mancang didn't continue to think about this matter. There was nothing to think about. Sometimes, when the time comes, there will always be a solution.

At worst, he can "send" more gold to the country through 108 departments.

Of course, if it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't spend his own gold to buy experience points.

"Comrade Li, how many large trucks are there here? How do you calculate the price?"

Yuan Yushan swallowed and asked in a hoarse voice.

At this moment, his eyes were wide open. The large open space in front of the barren mountain was densely packed with cars. Although it was dark now, he could still see the cars in the blur. There were indeed quite a few of them.

"There are 300 large trucks in total, so let's set the price at 100,000 RMB."

This price is undoubtedly a huge loss for Zhao Mancang, because the price he purchased in North America is definitely far more than 100,000 RMB.

hiss!
For Yuan Yushan, Ma Jiugong and others, the price of 100,000 RMB is very scary.

Because 300 vehicles means 30 million RMB, and BAIC Manufacturing Plant has only invested more than 10 million RMB. Even if other merged factories are taken into account, the value is only 30 million RMB at most.

So three hundred large trucks are equivalent to a BAIC manufacturing plant, which is too impressive.

"Comrade Li, could you offer a lower price? We are really short of money." Yuan Yushan smiled bitterly and whispered:

"We know that the large trucks you bring us are very good and of high quality. We have done business with you many times and we can trust you."

But this price is indeed a bit exaggerated.

You should know that the Jiefang brand truck developed by FAW has a factory price of just over 10,000 yuan.

Although this price has no reference, because it is not priced according to the market price, it is just slightly more than the cost of labor and transportation costs, there is not much added value, and there is almost no profit.

But this is still a reference price for a car.

Although the large trucks brought by Zhao Mancang have very strong loading and unloading and transportation capabilities, it is undeniable that 100,000 RMB is indeed too expensive.

"Then what price can you offer?" Zhao Mancang didn't really care about the price, but he couldn't let him suffer a big loss, right?
To be honest, all these grains and trucks were actually exchanged for rutile.

He had 'stolen' the rutile from Moscow, so it was almost a zero-cost deal.

In other words, these big trucks don't cost much.

But Zhao Mancang also understood one thing: things that are too easy to get will not be cherished in the end, so he would never do that.

"80,000 RMB, what do you think?"

Yuan Yushan and Ma Jiugong discussed it quietly aside and finally gave this price.

In fact, they wanted to offer a lower price, but when they thought about it, it would easily offend Zhao Mancang, so after discussion, they did not offer an ultra-low price of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, but instead offered a price of 80,000 yuan.

However, Zhao Mancang added 5,000 yuan to the price, but Yuan Yushan and the others disagreed.

But after the final bargaining, he agreed to the price of 85,000 yuan offered by Zhao Mancang.

There are a total of 300 large trucks, with a total price of 25.5 million yuan, which is equivalent to 6.375 million grams of gold, or 6.375 tons.

Among so many cars, every one of them was carefully checked by Zhao Mancang and there was absolutely no accident.

Even the four SAM Intelligence Agency personnel hiding in two of the large trucks were discovered by Zhao Mancang.

But because Zhao Mancang directly put the truck into the system space, when Zhao Mancang discovered it, they had all died.

The system space cannot accommodate living things.

Every truck started up normally and was fully functional.

Yuan Yushan and his team checked it as quickly as possible and readily settled the gold payment for Zhao Mancang.

Before Zhao Mancang left, Ma Jiugong asked if the next time the payment could be settled in US dollars or other currencies.

In this regard, Zhao Mancang only agreed to settle in US dollars.

When Ma Jiugong brought it up, Zhao Mancang had already thought of it. He thought that they probably wanted to use the more than 10 million US dollars in cash he had brought back before to settle the matter.

Thinking of this, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. After going around in circles, the money came back to him.

However, the 6,375 tons of gold he took away this time was not the 10 tons of gold he had brought back before.

"If it's going to be like this from now on, I'll bring the gold back to the capital as my true self, and then Yuan Yushan and the others will pay for it. Besides giving them food and trucks, I'll also earn experience points."

"No, my position in the country will be more stable, and Lin Wan and her daughter will also be able to receive protection from above."

"So who loses and who wins?"

For a moment, Zhao Mancang didn't know who to envy.

When he threw the gold into the space and drove the submarine out of Bohai, he soon received experience points from Li Qizhen and others.

This time it was more than yesterday, each person got 99, and the total for the three of them was 297, which surprised Zhao Mancang.

To be honest, Li Qizhen and the other three were more like bonuses, but the experience points they gained from this bonus were also quite a lot.

At this time, in the barren hills near the Tianjin Wharf, Li Qizhen, Jia Dingwen and Wu Shengli were already stunned by the 300 large trucks in front of them.

When Yu Zhongshi arrived here, he was dumbfounded.

Yesterday it was food, but today it’s big trucks. What’s going on?

Not to mention them, when Zhao Mancang returned to Tokyo, it was already 8 o'clock in the morning, and he arrived at the airport half an hour before the plane took off. He did not return to Vancouver, but to Hong Kong and Kowloon.

Because it has been almost half a month since he left Hong Kong and Kowloon, he has to go back. The most important thing is to get the best deals, everything else is fake.

Kowloon Peninsula, Yee King Garden.

Xu Wenluo's legs have improved a lot and he can now walk for about half an hour. Although he has not fully recovered, he is not far from getting rid of his wheelchair.

Zhao Mancang examined the other party and found that everything was fine, except that his tongue could not speak, everything else had improved a lot.

"You're almost recovered. Now all you need is your tongue. I've been researching speaking skills lately. Perhaps you could learn ventriloquism. I'm not sure if you can master it, but it's a direction after all."

Looking at the girl in front of him, Zhao Mancang said seriously:

"Your tongue has been cut. Restoring it is extremely difficult. I may not be able to do it, but I will find a way. Aside from ventriloquism, there is currently no other way to restore your ability to speak."

"Sign language is the simplest, but it's not very good for your future. I hope you can speak like a normal person, instead of being looked down upon and called dumb behind your back."

In order to make the most of the money, Zhao Mancang kept promising her something.

Of course, this was not just empty talk, because he really wanted to help her regain the ability to speak.

Ventriloquism is a good direction. Another direction is to exchange relevant treatment plans from the system to see if a tongue can be re-matched for her.

If hearts can be replaced and severed limbs can be replanted, surely tongues can be healed as well, right?
Zhao Mancang wasn't sure, so he could only wait for a miracle to happen in the system.

"Really? I can really regain the ability to speak?"

Xu Wenluo wrote on the paper, staring at Zhao Mancang with sharp eyes. When she saw Zhao Mancang nod, she burst into tears of joy.

At this time, Zhao Mancang also received the system experience value arrival information.

When Zhao Mancang saw that the experience value was 299, he suddenly discovered a new world.

Because when he traded the truck with Yuan Yushan and others early this morning, it exceeded their expectations, so he was able to gain more experience points.

For Xu Wenluo, regaining the ability to speak is her biggest expectation now.

"I will teach you how to learn ventriloquism, but before that, you need to take good care of yourself and don't think too much."

Zhao Mancang gave a reminder, and Xu Wenlu nodded obediently, full of joy and anticipation for the future life after learning ventriloquism.

The system has ventriloquism skills, but unfortunately, this thing can only be given to Zhao Mancang himself, and he can't exchange it for others.

Moreover, the ventriloquism skill is not cheap and requires a lot of experience points, so Zhao Mancang can only level up first and teach her slowly.

The next day, Zhao Mancang appeared on the 36th floor of Qifa Building on Hollywood Road in Central.

In the conference room, Bruce, Chen Liangsheng, Fan Chunbao and others, as well as Ming Pao management members Duan Baozhen and Yang Zhixiao on the 35th floor downstairs were also sitting upright.

Sitting in the main seat was Zhao Mancang. To be honest, as a big boss, he was a bit irresponsible and would disappear for a while every now and then.

But the amazing thing is that neither the Hong Kong Daily News nor the Ming Pao encountered any problems and they developed very smoothly.

Following the impact of the listing of Sing Sing Daily and Kwong Fai Daily at the end of April, after settling down throughout May, the sales of Hong Kong Daily News and Ming Pao have returned to the level of April in mid-to-early June.

The sales of "Women's Wear" magazine did not make much progress in Hong Kong Island, but it brought pleasant surprises in New York and Great Britain.

In April, sales in New York were 14,000 copies, but so far, the issue published last week has sold 21,500 copies.

This is a qualitative leap.

According to the goal of the New York branch, their total sales in June will exceed 100,000 copies.

Regardless of whether they can achieve a breakthrough, the goal they set is not entirely unrealistic. We can only say that they are indeed very determined.

After seeing this data, Zhao Mancang said calmly:
"Tell them that if they can achieve this goal, I will give them all a big bonus in July, at least $300 USD per person!"

In the conference room, Chen Liangsheng, Duan Baozhen and others couldn't help but gasp.

Wow, three hundred US dollars per person. The New York branch now has twenty people instead of the twelve people it had in April.

In other words, Zhao Mancang needs to pay at least 6,000 US dollars for this red envelope reward.

Six thousand US dollars is equivalent to thirty-nine thousand Hong Kong dollars, and this is just the reward.

However, if 100,000 copies of the magazine are actually sold in June, at the price of $2.50 per copy, that would be $250,000.

Compared with the revenue of $250,000, the red envelope reward of $6,000 is nothing.

In addition to New York, sales in Great Britain are also very terrifying. The sales of the last issue have reached 25,000 copies, and the growth rate is not much slower than that of New York.

Previously in April, the sales volume in Great Britain was 17,000 copies. In less than two months, it reached 25,000 copies, which is truly terrifying.

Based on this sales performance, it is very likely that the sales will exceed 100,000 copies in June.

The price of a magazine copy in London is one pound, and sales of 100,000 copies would be 100,000 pounds.

A revenue of 100,000 pounds is even more valuable than that in New York.

Because one pound is equivalent to 4.86 US dollars, 100,000 is 486,000 US dollars.

In any case, the next time Zhao Mancang goes to North America and Great Britain, he will definitely visit these two branches. He can no longer rely solely on the head office in Hong Kong and Kowloon to control them remotely.

In the short term, the branch office will not be able to get ahead of itself, because all the content of "Women's Wear" comes from the Hong Kong and Kowloon head office.

In other words, the sales performance of "Women's Health" in New York and Great Britain is more due to the Hong Kong and Kowloon headquarters rather than the branches.

After learning about it, Zhao Mancang also received some experience points, but not much.

There's no way, these experience-based tools are not qualified at all.

If people like Chen Liangsheng were all "Xu Wenluo", then the system experience value balance would soon exceed 10,000.

Pity!
After leaving Qifa Building, Zhao Mancang went to Wanbang Building in Sheung Wan to check the situation of the two newspapers, "Xingxing Daily" and "Guanghui Daily".

Now there is a problem that is not really a problem, that is, Sing Tao Daily and Sing Pao are engaged in a war of words, accusing Sing Tao Daily and Kwong Fai Daily of being unprofessional and even plagiarizing.

However, this so-called plagiarism is not very true.

After all, the layout is similar. If this is plagiarism, then I wonder how many newspapers in Hong Kong will go bankrupt.

Anyway, Zhao Mancang doesn’t care about these things. It’s just a war of words, so let’s fight it.

It can also increase your traffic, so why not do it?

At noon, Zhao Mancang had lunch with Alex and Joseph Grant. They just ate and didn't do any real work.

It is June now, and October is not far away.

Joseph was still reminding Zhao Mancang that there was no trend of gold price increase at present, and his investment might be wasted.

"But it hasn't dropped in price, has it?"

Hearing Zhao Mancang's rebuttal, Joseph was speechless.

This is true!
But no price reduction is not good news, because Zhao Mancang still needs to pay interest.

Alex said gloatingly:
"Nicholas, I've already told you that investing in gold is not a good idea. If you invest all the money you deposited at HSBC in gold, you'll probably lose everything."

He didn't know that the 200 million Hong Kong dollars loaned by Zhao Mancang was also used to invest in gold, otherwise he would have laughed at Zhao Mancang even more crazily.

In response, Zhao Mancang just smiled and did not explain.

It’s not too late to enter the market now. Once you miss it, you’ll miss it.

In the original time and space history, the international economy was impacted by both the European economy and the Kimura economy, causing the Bretton Woods system to suffer a severe impact.

As we all know, after the establishment of the Bretton Woods system, the amount of US dollar base currency printed became a mystery.

The amount of US dollar base currency in the world is about 40 billion US dollars.

However, the actual number is definitely far more than 40 billion US dollars.

Whether it is Europe or Kimura, they do not want the economic results of their hard work to be exchanged for worthless US dollars that Sam printed crazily, so when they have excess US dollar cash, they exchange it for gold as soon as they have it.

Especially when the price of gold soared to $40 per ounce, countries such as William, Louis, Dirk, and Kimura frantically exchanged dollars for gold.

This further exacerbates the fluctuation in gold prices.

It was not until the Smithsonian Agreement that things gradually stabilized, allowing the Bretton Woods system based on gold and the US dollar to continue to survive until the 1970s.

Alexston felt bored when he saw that Zhao Mancang didn't explain.

"Nicholas, why didn't you save any money when you came back this time?"

“Why do I have to save money every time I come back?”

Zhao Mancang smiled and glanced at Joseph, who said nothing because he needed to keep it secret.

To be honest, Zhao Mancang really didn't think about what to do, because he didn't want to do any tricks now.

Anyway, Alex is just a senior inspector now, not even a chief inspector, let alone a superintendent or a senior superintendent.

So Zhao Mancang looked down on Alex.

He believed that it would not be long before the Chief Superintendent or the Assistant Commissioner of Police would come to him on their own initiative.

In the afternoon, Zhao Mancang left Hong Kong and Kowloon and headed directly to Mindanao.

That night, he started contacting Mo Changzhi and others to show his presence.

After disappearing for nearly half a month, Zhao Mancang showed up for less than half a day and then disappeared again.

Mo Changzhi and the other three were not injured, but it was obvious that Mo Changzhi and Zhou Zhengli were not on good terms with Mu Liuqing.

Zhao Mancang asked curiously, and Mo Changzhi then explained in a low voice.

Just last time, when Zhao Mancang left, there was a little girl begging at the door of the hotel where the three of them were staying during the day. She looked very pitiful.

Mu Liuqing, with a heart full of compassion, took out several hundred dollars from the wallet she had looted from Soldier Sam the night before and handed it to the little girl.

This was nothing, but because of this, Mo Changzhi and Mu Liuqing became furious and evacuated the hotel early.

Less than half a day after they evacuated, the hotel was cleared out and even the little girl died.

Because of this incident, both Mo Changzhi and Zhou Zhengli had opinions about Mu Liuqing, very strong opinions.

"Mancang, it's a good thing you didn't agree to team up with her. Otherwise, you would have been sold out by her, and she would have helped the bad guys count their money. Tsk tsk."

Zhao Mancang was speechless after hearing what Mo Changzhi said.

As expected, the second generation are all unreliable. Damn it, how dare they do this when they are out on a mission?
When Zhao Mancang finished interrogating the two Sam soldiers, Mu Liuqing also said that he wanted to let them go. At that time, Zhao Mancang just thought that the other party was sympathetic.

But I didn't expect that Mu Liuqing's heart was not compassion, but a kind heart, which was fatal.

"Haha, I didn't have sympathy when I was a doctor, and it's even more impossible for me to have it now."

"Why?" Mo Changzhi was quite curious. If a doctor had no compassion, how could he treat patients?

"You know, I used to work at the steel plant's health center and often went to Union Hospital to help out. One time, at Tongren Hospital, I saw a nurse give half an apple to a patient because she couldn't bear it. Less than three days later, the patient died, and the family of the doctor and patient blamed the nurse for it."

When working in a hospital, only newcomers have compassion. After working for a long time, most doctors and nurses are "cold-blooded animals" and dare not have a "warm heart" at all, because good intentions can lead to bad results, and they can't explain it even if they are reasonable.

After all, the person is dead. Even if it is a doctor, the patient's family will insist on holding on to this point. Even if there are doctors to speak up, the patient's family will still say that your hospital is in cahoots with each other.

Therefore, give up the desire to help others and don’t be too loving, so that you, me, and everyone will be happy.

After chatting with Mo Changzhi for a few words, Zhao Mancang left.

Under the cover of night, Zhou Zhengli watched Zhao Mancang leave and asked curiously:

"Captain Mo, does Comrade Zhao usually keep to himself?"

"He only joined Department 108 in February of this year, just a few months earlier than you."

Mo Changzhi explained:
"So I didn't have much contact with Comrade Zhao, and I don't know what his style of doing things is like."

Not far away, Mu Liuqing was very stubborn and aggrieved, but no one paid any attention to her.

In mid-June 1959, Zhao Mancang appeared again in Iowa, North America. He wanted to complete the transaction of the last 50 million kilograms of grain with the Boyent Grain Company.

The current system space can only hold 50 million kilograms of grain at most, but he will transport the grain back to the country and then ship it out slowly.

It takes strategy to get more experience points from Yuan Yushan and Ma Jiugong when he can't return to the capital in his true identity, right?

Therefore, he had to take advantage of his stay in North America to get more rare items back to China.

In addition to the 50 million kilograms of grain, Zhao Mancang also contacted IBM and Boeing, bribed the technicians and asked them to buy some technology.

Inside an ordinary coffee shop near Boeing headquarters in Arlington County, Virginia.

After completing the transaction of 50 million kilograms of grain, Zhao Mancang placed another order for 100 million kilograms of grain with Boyent Grain Company. He also required that the packaging bags be changed. After agreeing on the pickup time, he came to Arlington County.

"Hasen, believe me, no one understands the hardships you technicians go through better than me. Why do you managers earn thousands of dollars a month for doing nothing? You engineers work so hard, yet you only make a few hundred or a thousand dollars a month? It's not fair!"

In 1950, the average annual income of a Sam family was only $3,210, and the price of a car was only $1,510.

Qian Xuesen, who was famous at the time, was very favored by Sam and had an annual salary of 50,000 US dollars. In addition, he also served as a lecturer at two universities, with a salary of 20,000 US dollars at each university.

In other words, Qian Xuesen, who was extremely capable, had a high salary.

This was the characteristic of this era, because in Moscow, professors' salaries were all over 10,000 rubles, far exceeding those of other people in society.

It can be said that professors and experts are the top figures at the top of the pyramid of this era.

Even in 1959, when the income of many Sam families had increased significantly, the annual income was still only more than 4,000 and less than 5,000 US dollars.

In addition, as the most luxurious Ferrari supercar of this era, the first batch of Ferrari 250GT0 models only produced 18500 units, and the price was only US$.

Yes, the Ferrari 250GT0 series supercar had an auction price of 1800 million US dollars in later generations, but in the s, it was less than US dollars.

The overall society is quite magical, and the income gap is huge.

Hassan Fiennes, who was sitting in front of Zhao Mancang, was a technical engineer at Boeing. He mastered a lot of technology, but his monthly salary was only $1,250.

Their general manager, Mike, earns $7,000 to $8,000 a month. Not only does Mike drive a luxury car, but his son also drives a Ferrari.

After all, a Ferrari supercar costs less than 20,000 US dollars, which is less than three months' salary for Mike.

Therefore, when faced with the $50,000 bill that Zhao Mancang brought over, Hassan Fiennes was very tempted. He looked around with a guilty conscience and asked a question:
"But if I'm discovered, won't my boss sink me to the bottom of the sea?"

Zhao Mancang was speechless when he heard this. Arlington County is not near the sea, so how could it sink to the bottom of the sea?

But this guy Hasson is from Norfolk, Virginia, a city near the sea, close to the Atlantic Ocean.

"Hasen, you have to know that this is fifty thousand dollars. Besides, if it was really that easy to be discovered, I wouldn't have come to you directly."

"Who would have thought that it was you who leaked the technology? Why think so much? Just say you won the lottery money, or don't spend it all at once. Take your time. Believe me, as long as you don't reveal it yourself, no one else will find out about it."

Just like coaxing a child, Zhao Mancang coaxed Hassan, determined to get the technology no matter what.

Engine manufacturing technology is the technology that Beijing lacks the most at present.
