the next day.

Even after marrying Liu Xiaobao, Wang Mingzhu didn't let happiness cloud her judgment.

Wang Mingzhu didn't let Liu Xiaobao drive her in his flashy car, nor did she drive the new Cadillac that Liu Xiaobao gave her as part of her dowry. Instead, she drove her own Xiali car, which she bought with her own salary, to work.

However, like Liu Xiaobao, Wang Mingzhu was also beaming with joy today.

After Wang Mingzhu went to work, Liu Xiaobao, having resolved his emotional issues and freed himself from these burdens, was finally able to focus on earning foreign exchange.

Liu Xiaobao did not make a decision blindly. He studied finance and investment, and he would not do things without a chance of success.

So he first had his uncle and the trading company team collect detailed data on China's commodity exports, and then he locked himself in his study to study it for half a month.

Of course, since this matter wasn't in a great hurry, Liu Xiaobao didn't work day and night.

683 He didn't forget that he had just won over Wang Mingzhu, so he only studied foreign trade export data during the day and spent his nights with Wang Mingzhu, living the life of a newlywed couple.

In the past two weeks, Liu Xiaobao used his professional financial investment knowledge to analyze the current shortcomings and advantages of China's foreign trade exports.

First, let's talk about the shortcomings. Because various relationships in the domestic economy have not yet been straightened out, key parts of the market economy, such as the fiscal and tax system, the financial system, and the investment system, have not yet entered an effective track.

In addition, the exchange rate of the Chinese Yuan depreciated and became unstable in 1993, and the gap between the market exchange rate and the official exchange rate widened significantly, causing a series of related business disruptions.

This led to a deterioration in the terms of trade, resulting in a severe stagnation in the growth rate of goods exports.

The total foreign trade export data for 1993 increased by only 6 percent compared to 1992.

Such a small increase is practically equivalent to no progress, a complete waste of a year.

In contrast, import trade data showed a growth rate of 26%, indicating that imports were definitely not making ends meet.

No wonder the old man kept urging Liu Xiaobao to earn foreign exchange.

But Liu Xiaobao also understood that (abcj) this was due to the circumstances of the time.

After all, China has only recently started its reform and opening up, and its economic system is still not fully developed. The profits from exporting many products are not as high as those from domestic sales. Apart from the government, who would do a business that loses money?

Therefore, Liu Xiaobao was not discouraged by China's export data in 1993. He believed that as the reform and opening up continued for longer, various systems would gradually improve.

Having discussed the shortcomings, let's talk about the advantages. Although the total export figures are not impressive, precisely because the number of exported goods is not large, the supply of various products that can be exported is still quite sufficient.

Among countless export products, Liu Xiaobao selected three types of goods that were both plentiful and widely applicable.

The first product is citric acid.

Citric acid, as an organic acid, is used in many industries, such as industry, cosmetics, food, and the sour taste of carbonated drinks or fruit juices that people usually drink.

Citric acid is an excellent natural preservative and additive. Even when used in appropriate amounts in food, it can enhance the taste and increase appetite. Therefore, the industries in which citric acid can be applied can almost be considered pillar industries of humankind.

The second product is polyvinyl chloride.

Polyvinyl chloride, also known as PVC plastic material, is very stable in physical and chemical properties. It is not only flame retardant and flexible, but most importantly, it is inexpensive.

Therefore, polyvinyl chloride has a wide range of uses. For example, it is used to make doors and windows or energy-saving pipes. Plastic doors and windows are very popular both domestically and internationally. In addition, it can be processed into transparent films or colored packaging bags. Raincoats and inflatable toys cannot do without it.

The third product is ceramics.

Ceramics are a traditional Chinese craft product, encompassing pottery, stoneware, and porcelain, which is unique to China. Jingdezhen porcelain is particularly famous and is renowned worldwide.

China's exports include not only artworks, but also architectural ceramics, industrial ceramics, and more.

These three products are not only cheap to buy domestically, but also have a fairly abundant supply.

There are several other products that are also very suitable for foreign trade, such as anthracite, pig iron, aluminum, and titanium alloys.

However, Liu Xiaobao believes that the country's mineral resources are limited, and it's best to keep them within the country if possible!

Therefore, when Liu Xiaobao was screening foreign trade products, he immediately eliminated those mineral resource products.

After Liu Xiaobao finally selected those three products, he began to think about his plan.

There was no problem with the domestic supply of goods; Liu Xiaobao believed that as long as he could afford the price, he could get enough stock. However, the overseas sales channels were a problem.

Without good sales channels, Liu Xiaobao can't just keep the goods stuck in his hands forever!

Therefore, after making the decision, Liu Xiaobao began to think about the issue of sales channels.

Although Liu Xiaobao is very ambitious, even though his actual net worth has exceeded one trillion Chinese yuan, he still wants to stand even higher and convert the Chinese yuan into US dollars or euros.

But he is also very lazy, just like he is unwilling to practice martial arts diligently.

There are too many countries in the world, and Liu Xiaobao wouldn't go to each country himself to find sales channels.

Therefore, he only focuses on those major countries, where the interests are greatest. Liu Xiaobao will personally select sales channels and strive to choose long-term partners with strength.

As for those smaller countries, Liu Xiaobao wouldn't personally go there.

Liu Xiaobao now owns Tianbao Group in three locations, and each of these three Tianbao Groups has a foreign trade company under its umbrella. With so many employees in these companies, he can simply send them to those smaller countries to negotiate cooperation.

After having a preliminary plan in mind, Liu Xiaobao immediately took action.

After greeting Wang Mingzhu, Liu Xiaobao flew to Beijing again.

Liu Xiaobao came to Beijing this time for three things.

First, of course, is to keep my princess wife company.

Secondly, Hu Ruoling was instructed to monitor and gather information on the sources of those three products in advance, in preparation for Liu Xiaobao's upcoming foreign trade export business.

Thirdly, he came to participate in the selection competition of Tianbao Security Company. After the selection competition, he will select a group of elites and arrange the work of others.

This time, Liu Xiaobao did not inform Hu Ruoling in advance, but quietly returned to the courtyard house in Beijing with Su Jie.

When Hu Ruoling returned home that evening, she was overjoyed to see Liu Xiaobao suddenly appear.

Facing Liu Xiaobao standing in the courtyard with his arms outstretched, Hu Ruoling's face lit up with joy, and she quickly ran into his embrace...

"Xiao Bao, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

"If I had told you, there wouldn't have been any surprise. So, honey, was that a surprise enough?"

Hu Ruoling smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's a pleasant surprise!"

"I've already told the kitchen to prepare dinner. Come on, honey, I'll go eat with you!"

While having dinner with Hu Ruoling, Liu Xiaobao told her about his plans to produce three export products and asked her to help him gather information on the sources of these products.

Hu Ruoling naturally wouldn't refuse the task Liu Xiaobao assigned her.

Upon hearing that Liu Xiaobao was planning to make a fortune in foreign exchange, Hu Ruoling became even more enthusiastic than Liu Xiaobao himself.

Because of her background, Hu Ruoling's love for her country is even greater than Liu Xiaobao's. Therefore, she hopes to earn more foreign exchange for the country so that the motherland can become prosperous and strong as soon as possible.

After discussing the product, Liu Xiaobao inquired about the selection process and competition at Tianbao Security Company.

According to Hu Ruoling, in the past twenty-odd days, Tianbao Security Company has recruited more than 9,000 veterans, bringing the total number of veterans recruited to more than 14,000, in addition to the previous 5,000.

The selection competition will be held in three days, at which time the top 100 people will be selected as the bodyguards Liu Xiaobao needs, and the others will be assigned to other jobs.

Upon hearing this news, Liu Xiaobao nodded and didn't ask any further questions, not even a single word about work-related matters, as if the Beijing Tianbao Group didn't belong to him.

But Hu Ruoling felt very gratified and moved by this.

Because she understood that Liu Xiaobao's indifference did not mean he didn't care about the company, but rather that he trusted her completely, which was why he didn't ask any questions and let Hu Ruoling manage the Tianbao Group in Beijing.

Indeed, this was the case. Liu Xiaobao trusted Hu Ruoling implicitly, which is why he entrusted such a large company as Beijing Tianbao Group to her.

Of course, while trust is important, there are other factors at play for Liu Xiaobao as well.

First, Liu Xiaobao is self-aware. He is good at investing, but not good at management, especially at every level of company operations.

Secondly, Liu Xiaobao also knew that with the country as a backer, there would be no problems with the major projects of Beijing Tianbao Group. As for the major projects that were in cooperation with the country, it would be more appropriate for Hu Ruoling to handle them than for Liu Xiaobao to handle them.

Thirdly, it's because Liu Xiaobao is rather lazy; he tries his best to avoid making himself do things that don't require his personal involvement.

But Liu Xiaobao wouldn't tell Hu Ruoling these reasons. After all, winning Hu Ruoling's favor would be a good thing for him, and he wouldn't undermine himself!

A little farewell is better than a wedding.

After finishing his meal with Hu Ruoling and discussing business, Liu Xiaobao couldn't wait to carry Hu Ruoling back to her room.

A spring breeze blew without restraint overnight.

Since the selection competition for those retired soldiers was still two days away, Liu Xiaobao made a special trip to Xishan Villa to visit the old man.

It's a pity that the old man has too many things to do every day, and Liu Xiaobao only met with him for twenty minutes.

However, the old man was very happy about Liu Xiaobao's visit, especially after hearing that Liu Xiaobao was planning to start earning foreign exchange.

If there weren't so many things waiting for the old man to handle, he would definitely have invited Liu Xiaobao to stay for a meal and a couple of drinks.

After Liu Xiaobao tactfully left Xishan Villa, he didn't stay idle. He accompanied Hu Ruoling on outings for two consecutive days.

He and Hu Ruoling didn't return to the capital until the selection competition began on the third day.

Because Tianbao Security Company has too many employees, the company did not have time to prepare dormitories for them in advance, and their daily training is in the field.

Therefore, the retired soldiers who have been recruited are currently stationed in tents in the suburbs.

Rows of neat tents stood there, just like military camps during the old days of marching and fighting, which was very spectacular.

When Liu Xiaobao and Hu Ruole arrived at the camp, Lei Qiangjun had already arranged everything.

In the very center of the camp, a circular open space with a diameter of 300 meters was set up, and ten circular running tracks were drawn on the open space with lime powder.
