Chapter 377 Royalties

The current polar bears are incredibly strong!

Since the 1970s, the positions of the Soviet Union and the United States have reversed, entering a situation where the Soviet Union attacks and the United States defends.

The United States was deeply involved in the Annan War for more than a decade, and finally left in disgrace, staging the "Saigon Moment". In the past decade, the United States has only published data on its own, with a death toll of 58,200 and an astonishing 303,600 injured, in addition to 2,500 missing.

And this is only the casualty data published by the United States itself. According to the nature of the old Americans, it is normal for the data to expand by 10% or 20%.

In addition, the United States lost 8,612 aircraft, of which 3,720 were fixed-wing aircraft and 4,892 were helicopters.

As for the United States' expenditure in this war, some say it is 200 billion US dollars, some say it is 400 billion US dollars, and of course some say it is 663 billion US dollars.

But no matter which number, it is very huge.

Even if the lowest value of 200 billion US dollars is taken, it is a huge loss of the vitality of the United States.

It can be said that it was this war that turned the United States from an offensive to a defensive position around the world.

Coupled with the first oil crisis, the United States was deeply trapped in an economic crisis, and the Soviet Union made a lot of money with the help of rising oil prices, and the entire economic level was greatly improved.

In the second oil crisis that broke out in recent years, oil prices broke through $20/barrel and $30/barrel. Oil-producing countries made a lot of money, but for industrial countries such as Europe, the United States, and Japan, it was a big blow.

The polar bear has become the world's number one power, coupled with its strong military strength, it can be said to be a holy place in the minds of all workers in the world.

But there are undercurrents inside the polar bear.

After Su Xunzong passed away, Su Guangzong, who had just taken over the supreme power, passed away again in February this year, and Su Daidi, who took over the supreme power, was reported to be in poor health.

There were problems with the handover of power, which led to fierce internal struggles in the polar bear, and there was no energy to focus on the outside.

And although the polar bear is still strong now, the unreasonable structure of heavy and light industries in the Soviet Union still exists.

And this is the opportunity.

"You let Xiaojuan move here and help Linlin and the others." Liu Tao said, "You go to the north to work hard and do trade with the north."

Liu Qi nodded heavily, but he hesitated for a moment: "But I have no money."

He is not afraid of hardship, but he is afraid of not making money.

Liu Qi is very envious of Qian Huaqiang's success in Pengcheng.

He was able to make up his mind to resign and go into business because Qian Huaqiang made a lot of money, and his wife kept nagging in his ears.

When you are poor, you think of change.

He earns 40 to 50 yuan a month, and his wife has no job. His daily life depends on his parents' support, and his life is tight.

This made Liu Qi realize that money is not omnipotent, but without money is absolutely impossible.

Money is a man's heroic courage!

"I can lend you money first, but you have to pay it back." Liu Tao said slowly.

Liu Qi said happily: "That's for sure!"

Liu Tao thought for a while, took out a piece of paper and wrote two numbers on it: "If you encounter anything in the Northeast, you can call them, but don't call if you can."

"You can ask your parents if they have any connections with Polar Bear." Liu Tao said.

The two numbers he wrote are both from the Shenyang Military Region. This is the friendship between the two parties that they met and made at the Tianzhu Mountain Training Base.

But favors are something that are used once and then used less.

If you ask someone for help this time, then they may need his help next time.

In Liu Tao's opinion, as long as Liu Qi can endure hardships, then it is impossible to lose money in trade with Polar Bear.

Exporting China's light industrial products to Polar Bear, and then importing some heavy industrial products from Polar Bear, even if it is just imported steel, both sides will make money this way.

Liu Qi nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll go back and ask, my dad went to study in the Soviet Union before, and he should know some people."

Liu Tao nodded.

In the past, when China and the Soviet Union were in their honeymoon period, the two sides had close contacts and had more or less some relationships.

These are all connections.

At night, it was late and quiet.

The children had fallen asleep and the lights were off.

In the room, the couple was whispering private words.

As the saying goes, a long separation is better than a new marriage. The two were together only eight days a month, so even though they had been married for five years, they were like newlyweds, always cherishing every minute and every second, wishing that time would pass more slowly.

It was normal to have a second plum blossom, and it happened from time to time.

Until the early morning, the two hugged each other and quietly felt each other's hearts.

The voices of the two were very low, so low that only the two of them could hear each other, so as not to wake up the children.

Now the eldest son and daughter sleep in the outer room, and the two younger ones sleep in the inner room, so as not to cry and disturb other children at night.

Fortunately, the child doesn't need to be fed at night now, and can sleep through the night, unlike before when it was difficult to sleep through the night and he had to get up from time to time to check on the child.

Liu Tao couldn't help but explore gently with one hand. This is a treasure, and it seems that there is no end to exploring it, and there are always joys.

Unconsciously, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next day, he slept until he woke up naturally, and no one woke him up.

Liu Tao looked lazy and completely relaxed.

Even he made a cup of tea, took a fishing rod and went fishing by the lake to calm his heart.

Fishing is not about fishing for fish, but a kind of mood.

If you catch fish, you will be happy, but if you don't, it doesn't matter.

The lake water here is connected to Shichahai Lake, and there are many aquatic plants. With the purification of these aquatic plants, the lake water here is much better than the lake water in Shichahai Lake.

Of course, even if the lake water quality is good, the water here is not directly drinkable.

It's just that Liu Tao didn't fish for long when children came in groups.

Naturally, he couldn't catch any fish.

With so many children playing, fish and shrimps were scared away.

During lunch, Liu Tao received a call, which notified him that he would attend a meeting in three days.

The information he wrote before was finally going to be presented at the meeting.

In the afternoon, Liu Tao went to the coffee shop in front, and he and Zhu Lin each took a cup of coffee to the bird listening house to drink coffee. While drinking coffee, they listened to the birds and chatted.

"Fortunately, we don't need to rent a store, otherwise we wouldn't be able to pay the rent." Zhu Lin said, "The business has been running for so long, but it's not as good as your royalties."

"How much is the royalties?" Liu Tao chuckled. He had never asked.

Zhu Lin said, "Two poetry collections, 75,000 yuan each after tax."

"So much?" Liu Tao was a little surprised.

It's not that he didn't have royalties before. For example, he published several articles, and each article was paid 200 to 300 yuan.

"12% royalties, the highest level." Zhu Lin explained, "After the president knew your identity, he classified 12% of the price as royalties. Now only the first batch has been printed, but there will be a steady stream of income in the future."

Zhu Lin was very envious. Liu Tao was really good at everything.

Recently, I have been adjusting my work and rest time, so the updates will be on time. Once the work and rest time is adjusted, it will be on time again
