Chapter 68 Exchange Rate Gap

Money? When Ma Qian'an thought of money, he felt pain. He attacked the three thousand oceans seized from Antu County. During this period, Ma Qian'an used a small thousand to buy various materials, books and components. All the rest was in the hands of military supplies. This time, he came to Moscow to spend 200 rubles from military supplies for emergency needs. These 20 rubles were exchanged for 80 rubles at the exchange rate.

"One person has one ruble." Ma Qian'an counted the banknotes in pain and handed them to everyone one by one.

"A ruble?" Wei Zijian was about to faint.

"Isn't satisfied with one ruble? Do you know? Only four oceans can change to a ruble? I'll do it, so many, can a ruble buy more than 60 kilograms of rice or 15 kilograms of pork? How much is it? That's all, if you are not satisfied, there is not a ruble. Do you want half a ruble?" Ma Qian'an calculated, and was a little reluctant.

"Deputy Captain Ma, have you burned it? You can't measure the prices of the Soviet Union by domestic prices. I saw it last night. A kilogram of black bread in this place costs 5 o' Kobe, which is half a ruble. Do you know? You only give one ruble, it's not enough to take a public tram." A guy with a traitor's head combed to his trait said dissatisfiedly.

?

"Huh? Jin Kezhi, are you saying true?" Ma Qian'an was surprised. He remembered clearly. "The exchange ratio between silver dollars and rubles is indeed 4:1. Why is the price of S1 so much higher than that of domestic ones? Is there any problem with this exchange rate?"

"Oh! You don't understand, this is the problem between international exchange rates. A silver dollar is completely different from buying food in my country and buying food from them. In S1, you can't use silver dollar, you can only use it at the official exchange rate. With this conversion, the purchasing power is very different. This involves too many financial issues and cannot be explained clearly in one sentence. Fortunately, the ruble cannot be used in ZG, otherwise they can take a big advantage." Jin Kezhi proudly shook his big split.

"How come you know so much?" Ma Qian'an didn't expect that there was someone who understood exchange rate finance here.

"Hey, my father worked in the bank and taught me a lot, and I am very interested in it, that's it."

"Oh? Didn't you pick it from Zhang Yuan? Aren't you a physics student?" Ma Qian'an turned his head and looked at Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan spread his hands and expressed his expression of how I knew.

"Yes, I do study physics, but it doesn't mean I don't understand money, right?" Jin Kezhi was very calm, "Who said that a person knows this and is not sure if he knows that? There must be geniuses in this world, right?"

"Genius?" Ma Qian'an swallowed, "I am a genius, you are also a "genius"? There are genius gathering today.

"Yes! Simply put, the price of beef is the basis. A silver dollar can buy one kilogram of beef in our country, one kilogram of beef in the United States, and one 50 kilogram of beef in the Soviet Union. Amazing? Don't be surprised, the exchange rate is determined so. Although the exchange rate is determined so, it is impossible for S1 people to really use this exchange rate to buy beef in our country. We don't have enough to eat it ourselves, so how can we sell it to him a lot?"

"Why is there such a huge gap in purchasing power?" Someone next to him didn't understand.

"I can't explain this clearly. Maybe this is the difference between an agricultural country and an industrial country? This pricing system is really complicated, and it's really not something you can say in one sentence or two."

"Maybe you kid don't understand, right? Are you messing with us with something broken?"

"Who said I don't understand? Let me tell you..." Jin Kezhi certainly didn't want others to despise him, and began to instill his "financial knowledge" in the questioners with a slight understanding.

Ma Qian'an was beside him but fell into deep thought. He understood the problem of the pricing system mentioned by Jin Kezhi. Industrial countries are indeed very different from agricultural countries. Otherwise, how should the industrial revolution be carried out? Otherwise, how could those industrial countries desperately encroach on colonies? Isn't it just to find a dumping place for industrial products to sell high-value-added industrial products and take the opportunity to plunder the other party's rich resources and agricultural products? If you are unwilling to open up the market and unwilling to be plundered, then start fighting and forcefully breaking your country's door. The RB people are doing this.

Hi! How much can I buy from this small ruble of money? It actually leads to so much forgotten knowledge. I really gained something today!

Ma Qian'an shook his head and continued to taste his happiness. Um! S1 people spent all their manpower and material resources on building heavy industry. In addition, collective farms offset the enthusiasm of farmers. They produced few agricultural products and the rationing system, so it would be strange if their food was not expensive. But this expensive was a bit outrageous.

(Note: Some figures in 194o. 1 gram silver = 1.45 cents, 1 gram gold = 1.13 US dollars, a silver dollar = 26.8 grams, 1 US dollar = o.7 rubles. A silver dollar in China can buy 16 kilogram rice or 4 kilogram pork or 2 kilogram beef. 1 kilogram flour in the Soviet Union = 2.9 rubles, 1 kilogram beef = 12 rubles, ordinary workers' wages are 2oo-3oo rubles in January.)

How much rice and pork should be exchanged for the machines sold to us by these industrial countries? Who told you that you have no industry? You can only be slaughtered! Ma Qian'an recalled the so-called "processing 800 million pairs of shoes to exchange for a Boeing" in the later generations. Similar to the present, countries that can only produce low-value-added things must be exploited by countries that produce high-value-added games. This is the same thing.

If you don’t think about it anymore, don’t think about it anymore. Without a stable environment, how can you talk about developing an industry?

When Ma Qian'an was pondering, Jin Kezhi had defeated a group of "old hats" surrounding him. In his eyes, it was too easy to refute these guys in terms of financial knowledge. It was not good to win. Look, you can't even find the key point of asking questions, which made Jin Kezhi feel very happy.

Jin Kezhi was proud and looked around. Seeing that the people around him were speechless, he stopped asking questions. The guy turned his gaze to Ma Qian'an again, "Deputy Captain Ma, they don't understand what I said, do you understand?"

"Tsk!" Ma Qian'an glared at him impatiently. He had never eaten pork or watched pig run. I understand this thing. Now, it is an earth-shaking economic theory, which can win the Nobel Prize, but I can't say it now. Can you understand it after you say it?

A medium-sized truck of Dai Peng stopped beside them, and the driver poked his head out and shouted anxiously at Ma Qian'an: "Oh, my Comrade Ma, why are you here? Didn't you agree to wait in front of the Equipment Department building? Why did you come here? Let me find it easy."

Everyone looked closely, oh! I met the comrades in charge of picking up and dropping off Ma Qian'an and his gang to negotiate, a clerk in the representative office of the Communist Alliance, named Wang Laiquan.

"Oh! I feel depressed, just walk around and forget about you. What's the matter? I'm so anxious?" Ma Qian'an left Jin Kezhi and looked at Wang Laiquan.

"Let's go quickly, Vice Chairman Zhou is here and asks you to see you."

"Vice Chairman Zhou? Zhou e1?"

"Hoho! You comrade still knows a lot, and you also know the name of Vice Chairman Zhou in Northeast China?"
