This time, Zhao Yi didn't have time to follow the inspection team for an inspection. He just checked the relevant reports at the China Education Company. Although there were many minor problems found in the reports, the overall work was done well.
Since China Education Company has only officially accepted domestic education for a few days, it is normal to have some flaws. As long as the main tasks are completed well, it is a success. As for the flaws, they have been given a semester to adjust.
Another thing that Zhao Yi is more concerned about is the supply of intellectual milk provided by Tianji Dairy Company. Although this project does not make much money, it occupies a very important position in Zhao Yi's mind.
Our country wants to quickly catch up with Western developed countries not only economically, but also to catch up with and surpass them in terms of culture and technology, and intellectual milk is a cheating device.
In order to prevent the smart milk from being used for other purposes or sold abroad, Tianji Dairy Company numbers each box of smart milk.
By accessing the relevant systems of the China Education Company, Zhao Yi can query the supply status of all smart milk, including the transportation route and destination of each box of milk, to facilitate tracing.
At the same time, this subsystem of China Education Company communicates with relevant subsystems of Tianji Dairy Company in order to verify whether there is any manipulation. As long as a data anomaly is found, the system will automatically alarm.
The transportation work of smart milk is handed over to the logistics company under Shangtong Trading Company, which is responsible for the special distribution. They are all their own companies. Data exchange and verification is very easy. Which link has a problem is very easy to locate.
Zhao Yi opened the abnormal data column, and there were only a few abnormal data in it. Zhao Yi looked carefully and found that they were all caused by operational errors. They were corrected later, and there were no abnormal data in the recent period.
This shows that the cooperation between the three companies is becoming more and more smooth. In fact, in addition to intellectual milk, there are a lot of related data similar to these data.
For example, for common stationery purchases and textbook purchases, the school will also distribute a free schoolbag to some poor students, etc. These data will be entered into the relevant systems.
Fortunately, most of these companies have dealings with trading companies. China Education Company also purchases from trading companies. The trading company also knows the nature of China Education Company and the boss's attitude towards this matter.
Therefore, when supplying related educational supplies to Chinese education companies, the prices are set according to the lowest standards. Although it is impossible not to make money, compared with normal business transactions, the profit is much lower.
Moreover, the trading company is also responsible for all the logistics and transportation of these items. This cost is actually not small. At the same time, since they all belong to the same boss, communication is very convenient. The data on both sides have interfaces for each other, making verification very convenient.
This blocks the opportunity for relevant personnel to do something. Although it is not clear whether human nature is good or evil at the beginning, it is a very necessary management principle to consider all possible loopholes and block them. .
In addition to these trivial matters, Zhao Yi is also very concerned about the arrival of the tablet computers supplied by Polaris Company to Chinese education companies. To be honest, due to the large number, Polaris Company has a very heavy production task.
It is because various companies under Zhao Yi have ordered a large number of tablet computers from Polaris Company, resulting in a very small number of tablet computers supplied by Polaris Company to the outside world.
Even Chinese education companies alone need to order more than 300 million units, Chinese medical companies have also ordered millions of units, and other companies have ordered quantities ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands of units.
Just to meet these supply volumes allows Polaris to run at full capacity. Only after its own company's orders are completed will it have enough output to supply external supplies.
Fortunately, the tablets ordered by Chinese education companies have very low configurations and the related parts do not need to be high-end, so the output is much higher than that of normal tablets.
Zhao Yi checked the relevant data and found that Polaris Company had not completed all orders so far, and there were still 10 million orders that had not been completed. To be honest, Zhao Yi almost called Polaris Company to ask what was going on.
But he immediately calmed down and asked Wang Huaijun about the matter. According to Wang Huaijun, Polaris Company had implemented three shifts under the current conditions and even transferred many workers who produced other products to help.
But the time is too short, and the Chinese education company made its decision too late, which resulted in the current situation. This cannot be entirely blamed on Polaris Company. They have tried their best.
And according to Polaris Company's estimates, in about half a month, the remaining unfinished orders can be completed and then handed over to the logistics company under the trading company for distribution to all parts of the country.
Since it still takes about half a month, Zhao Yi has not mobilized the public. The personal intelligent teacher running on the tablet is actually a supplement outside the classroom, and the delay will not have much impact.
In fact, normal classroom teaching can already complete the teaching content in the textbook, and it will not be like in the previous life, where the teacher left a hand in the classroom, and then held cram schools after class, and taught what was not taught in class during cram school.
To be honest, such behavior is very contrary to teachers' ethics and is despised by others. This situation does not exist at all with smart teachers from Chinese education companies.
Even issuing a tablet to every student is to block the increasingly fierce extracurricular tutoring classes in the future, because in Zhao Yi's view, this is a manifestation of unfair education. The gap between the rich and the poor is above this.
Distributing tablets to every student can not only curb the rampant use of these extracurricular cram schools, but also tap into each student's talent and teach students in accordance with their aptitude, which is many times better than attending cram schools.
What's more important is that Chinese education companies don't charge their money. As long as there are still motivated students and parents, they will cherish this opportunity, because there are not many opportunities for them to compete fairly in this society.
Even the school has considered their family situation. Some families do not even have electricity, and even if they have electricity, they do not have a suitable socket to charge tablets. The school needs to consider this situation and build charging interfaces in classrooms.
And for the safety of these children and to prevent electric shock incidents, these charging interfaces need to be specially designed, and these details need to be taken into consideration.
Then Zhao Yi paid attention to the progress of the lifelong education plan of China Education Company. Although it has only been a month since the plan was proposed, because it is not difficult, many systems have already been developed by China Education Company.
So after a month of preparation, the lifelong education plan is now more than half complete, and the rest is the hard work. The rest are courses and resources that Chinese education companies do not have.
It is necessary to invite specialized industry elites to produce relevant content, and Tianwen Bookstore is also required to provide relevant resources. According to Wang Huaijun's estimation, it may take until May to complete all these tasks, which means it will take more than 2 months. .
Zhao Yi didn't say anything about this, although this plan is very important. It can not only bring very considerable income to Chinese education companies, but also give individuals the opportunity to improve themselves and bring great benefits to society.
But after all, this is a marathon plan, and it will not achieve great success overnight. It is impossible to achieve the situation that Zhao Yi wants to see without 5 to 10 years.
However, before leaving, Zhao Yi asked Wang Huaijun to contact Qing Ning Entertainment Company to film a TV series with the theme of lifelong education. The main purpose was to change the fate of the protagonist through this plan.
If there is no publicity, this plan will be rolled out in obscurity. No one will know about it, and even if they do, there will be no sense of urgency.
But filming such a TV series is different. It gives some people who want to change their destiny an opportunity, and it also gives some people who are accustomed to ordinary life an opportunity to daydream.
At the same time, in the TV series, Zhao Yi also asked Wang Huaijun not to forget to add intelligence milk, although it cannot be said that anything was added.
But it can be suggested that drinking this milk can improve learning efficiency and have a much higher chance of becoming a successful person. Didn’t you see that the country will provide this kind of milk to every school student? This shows that it has been recognized by the country and is good for intelligence. .
In this way, Tianji Dairy Company can be promoted again, and Qing Ning Entertainment Company does not even need to pay for the filming of this TV series. The advertising fees paid by China Education Company and Tianji Dairy Company can wipe out the cost.
As for script writing, it can be completely left to Qing Ning Entertainment. They are professional at doing this kind of thing, so he doesn't need to worry about it.
After inspecting the China Education Company, Zhao Yi went to Bole Human Resources Company again because he had asked them to help find shipping talents and prepare to operate Qianfeng Shipping Company.
Now Haiyan Shipping Company's shipbuilding level has improved a lot, many shipyards have been built, and the ship's production capacity has reached a certain stage. It is time to put Qianfeng Shipping Company into operation.
The most important thing is that domestic infrastructure construction is being carried out on a large scale. In the future, the import volume of various resources will be very large, which will need to be transported by sea. The market here is very large, and there is no reason not to eat it yourself.
At present, the quantity of imported iron ore in the country has reached 100 million tons, but when the infrastructure construction invested by the government and Zhao Yi is carried out on a large scale, the quantity of iron ore imported may suddenly expand to more than 500 million tons.
Prior to this, Zhao Yi had asked Sunflower Investment Company to expand their shareholding ratio in major overseas iron ore companies, because he was very optimistic about the future international iron ore market conditions.
The current price of iron ore is around US$50 per ton. This is because my country's demand for imported iron ore has increased rapidly in recent years. As a result, the price has not fallen much since it fell in 1983.
According to the historical trends in previous generations, if the price of iron ore can be maintained at US$50 per ton, it is still worth importing. In addition, my country's foreign exchange reserves are very large, so importing is a relatively cost-effective business.
To be honest, when foreign exchange reserves are placed in the hands of the country, there are not many investment targets other than the purchase of U.S. debt. In fact, the interest rate of U.S. debt is not high. At most, it emphasizes stability.
To be honest, if the current issuance of RMB is not anchored by the US dollar, there is no need to hold so many US dollars, and there is a risk of depreciation in the hand.
Especially after the signing of the "Plaza Accord", the depreciation of the U.S. dollar entered the fast lane. Holding so many U.S. dollars in hand caused huge losses to my country's foreign exchange reserves, which was completely outweighed by the gain.
But there is currently no way to solve this problem, because currency issuance always requires an anchor, otherwise the value of the currency cannot be accurately reflected.
The current best currency anchor is gold, but our country's gold reserves are too small to serve as the anchor for our country's currency issuance. We can only choose a strong foreign currency as the anchor for our country's currency issuance.
This is also the fundamental reason why our country has always held so many U.S. dollars in its hands in previous lives. It is not that we do not know the problems caused by holding so many U.S. dollars in our hands, but that we have to hold so many U.S. dollars.
Although Zhao Yi has changed a lot of things in this life, the result is still the same as in the previous life. The only advantage is that the exchange rate between our country's currency and the US dollar remains relatively stable all year round.
Although the exchange rate is much higher than in the previous life, a stable exchange rate is of great significance to exports. The exchange rate will not change frequently. As a result, you will make money by calculating before exporting. However, you will lose money if you calculate based on the exchange rate after exporting. .
As for the new "Plaza Agreement", our country's exchange rate also needs to appreciate moderately. This process is actually detrimental to our country's export trade.
Therefore, in the process of appreciation, it is best to change at a constant speed, or to meet a certain curve law, so that my country's export companies can anticipate the risks brought about by exchange rate changes and avoid these risks in advance.
Fortunately, our country currently adopts a compulsory foreign exchange settlement system. The central bank can exert strong control over the exchange rate. There will be no vagaries of exchange rates like the RB. Export companies only need to calculate these risks in advance, and the problem is not big.
This may be difficult for small export trading companies, but for Shangtong Trading Company, it is very simple. They have related intelligent systems before, but they have never used them.
When my country's exchange rate changes, this intelligent system for exchange rate prediction can come in handy. Most of the domestic export production companies' export business is handed over to Shangtong Trading Company.
Regardless of the problems of those small trading companies for the time being, at least most of the manufacturing companies that follow Shangtong Trading Company will not have too much export risk. This can be guaranteed.
Therefore, the exchange rate issue does not have a particularly large impact on my country's export fundamentals.
Although our country's currency is anchored by the U.S. dollar, and we must hold a certain amount of U.S. dollars in hand, the situation in this life is still very different from the situation in the previous life.
In the past, my country's economic development relied on a large amount of foreign investment in the early stage. Since these investments can come in, they may go out at any time, so the US dollar is needed as an intermediary currency.
If foreign businessmen come in and never go out, that's fine, because they don't need that many dollars. But if there is a large amount of foreign capital flight in the short term, then if there are no dollars in hand, then a sharp currency depreciation is a high probability event.
In previous lives, it was for this reason that our government had to hold a large amount of U.S. dollars. Even though they knew the problems with the U.S. dollar, they still could not get rid of this shackles.
But this life is different. It is Zhao Yi's enterprises that play a key role in domestic economic development. Although there is foreign investment, it is not as large as the proportion in the previous life, and the total amount is also limited.
In other words, our government only needs to determine Zhao Yi's attitude, then it can determine the maximum scale of capital flight, and then it can determine the maximum amount of US dollars in foreign exchange it needs to hold.
The US dollars and other currencies that Zhao Yi needs basically do not enter the mainland, and the US dollars and other currencies that enter the mainland will generally be converted back to the original currencies. This has laid a solid foundation for my country's foreign exchange stability.
In addition, our country's export trade surplus has increased significantly in recent years, and it holds a large amount of foreign exchange funds, and Yingjiang is also very concerned about its trade deficit.
Therefore, our country is also taking advantage of the trend to increase imports, especially the import of resource-based raw materials, reducing its foreign exchange reserves and keeping our foreign exchange reserves within a reasonable range.
To be honest, if imported special ore remains below US$60 per ton for a long time, Zhao Yi has no intention of getting involved in the production of iron ore because it is completely unnecessary.
Our country's current economic strength can still withstand the large-scale import of these iron ores, and it is also in line with our country's need to balance the international trade surplus.
At the same time, because Sunflower Investment Company holds a large number of shares in ore resource production companies, the interest rate differential in the increased iron ore price can also be earned from these shares.
But if the price of iron ore is too high, it will have a certain impact on our country's industrial production and economic development. Although Zhao Yi can make a lot of money, it is actually very detrimental to our country's economic development.
At that time, industrial costs will surge and infrastructure prices will rise, which will lead to a wave of price increases in almost all fields in the country.
If the money supply is insufficient, it will have a deflationary effect. If currency issuance is expanded, it may bring higher inflation in the future.
The problem is that this situation only increases the money supply of the society, but the social output value does not increase. This is reflected in people's lives, that is, they need to spend more money to buy the same product before, which is actually a depreciation of the currency.
Back to business.
In the future, our country's export trade and import trade will face rapid expansion in quantity and scale. Faced with such a big piece of cake, we really can't bear to hand it over to others.
Moreover, sea transportation is in its own hands, and packages destined for the country will not appear in Yingjiang's hands inexplicably. Therefore, after they have mastered the sea transportation channels, the trading company will need to expand its logistics to the international level. go.
At the same time, Zhao Yi not only asked Qianfeng Shipping Company to engage in maritime transportation business, but also asked them to participate in the construction of global shipping terminals. Only in this way can they remain invincible. (End of chapter)
