Chapter 398 You Can't Live Without Borrowing Money

Needless to say, the content of the letter must be very important, but it also made Philip very embarrassed.

Even making a phone call didn't feel formal enough, for fear that he would refuse.

Frowning, he took the envelope and tapped it on the table, and then under Jody's worried eyes, Li Changheng reacted abruptly.

Philip is not a bastard like Andrew. If it is really urgent or something must be done, writing a letter is not a good choice.

After opening the envelope for a few glances, he rolled his eyes.

He left the letter on the table casually, stared at Jody and said, "Annie and I haven't married yet, so it's not appropriate for us to represent England as lobbyists.

If you really can't find a candidate, let Princess Margaery and her husband Anthony go to Washington. "

Jody shook her head without thinking, "Princess Margaery is definitely not good, what she has done for so many years..."

"Cough cough."

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Li Changheng coughed a few times, and then looked at Annie, who had a curious and disturbed expression.

Jody, who understood his gaffe, thought about it and said helplessly, "England's fiscal deficit reached 1.2 billion pounds last year. If we don't get assistance from the Americans, we can't pay the debt.

Not only will the pound depreciate, but it will also lose credibility and lose face internationally.

And once a large number of speculators are bearish on the pound and sell it in large quantities, England's already declining economy will be worsened, and it may even directly become a third-rate economy. "

"so serious?"

Annie covered her mouth in fright, but seeing the contemptuous expression on Li Changheng's face, she immediately reacted.

This matter is definitely not as serious as what Jody said, or Li Changheng has other ways to solve this matter.

Then, under Jody's expectant eyes, Annie pouted, and did not try to persuade Li Changheng as he thought.

Instead, he stood up and said, "Gentlemen, I will prepare morning tea for you."

In the end, Jody persuaded him for a long time, but no matter what conditions he put forward, Li Changheng just didn't agree.

After sending away the disappointed Jody, Li Changheng stood on the long corridor not to mention, looking at the sea in the distance, but thinking with contempt in his heart.

If it was a year or two ago, or if the general barrel was changed, this money is actually quite easy to borrow.

But the situation at this time is that the Americans themselves are short of money and next year is a general election year, so fools will pay billions of dollars for nothing at this time to support England without any strings attached.

The person who came up with this idea either treated him as a fool, or he was thinking about the money in his pocket.

After all, from December last year to March 19th, more than 900,000 calculators have been sold in the United States, Maple Leaf Country, and South America.

The book sales are 162 million US dollars.

No one outside knows what the net profit is, but some people in England must feel that the profit of the calculator is enough to pay the interest on the money owed by England.

Just be sure that no one is really stupid to that extent, but lending money to England at this time is definitely a bad business.

Once the Bretton Woods system collapses this year and the dollar is decoupled from gold, the dollar will definitely depreciate this year, but no matter how much it depreciates, it will still be a dollar.

But the pound depreciated at all, and even when the depreciation was even greater, if the English returned his pound, the whole world and even the English would laugh at him.

"Honey, is it really okay to refuse directly?"

Li Changheng put his arms around Annie and kissed her on the forehead, "Do you really think England can't borrow money?"

Annie was taken aback, then raised her head and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's very simple. Some people in Downing Street only want to borrow money, but don't want to accept the additional conditions of the Americans."

After listening to Li Changheng's words, Annie immediately understood that the two of them were being plotted against.

Then he looked at him carefully and covered his mouth and asked, "Then why does father still write to you?"

"rest assured".

Li Changheng, who had misunderstood Philip before, smiled and hugged Anne tightly, "Your father probably had to agree to Downing Street because of his status, but he knows my character and thoughts.

That's why I wrote a personal letter to tell me that this matter has nothing to do with personal feelings and relationships.

Since it is a business, of course I can refuse in a business-like manner. "

"That's good."

Annie hugged Li Changheng's waist with both hands, put her face on his shoulders, and said with a big sigh of relief, "How about we go on a trip and avoid these troublesome things?"

"That's not okay."

Li Changheng shook his head, "Since your father is on my side regardless of England's financial crisis, I definitely can't just walk away and put all the problems on him."

After thinking for a while, he smiled and continued, "Help me prepare something for a business trip, I'll go to Santa Clara to see how the chip research is going.

If there is no problem, sell the chip to the nobles earlier.

While making money, your father will feel less pressure when the nobles invest in the home appliance industry and increase the employment rate. "

"Hmph," Anne pouted and patted his chest, "Don't forget you told me that you wanted to exchange shares in the London Telephone Company with Devon and Duke Campbell."

Li Changheng smiled, "Then do you think I should give it away for free, or make more money for us and future children?"

Annie replied without thinking, "Of course it's to make more money."

But a few seconds after she finished speaking, she frowned and muttered, "But too much money is not necessarily a good thing for the children."

Li Changheng said indifferently, "Rich people always have less troubles than ordinary people."

Annie didn't know how to refute this.

The next morning, Li Changheng walked into Intel's new headquarters under the escort of eight bodyguards.

Then, accompanied by Robert and the Big Three, they saw the legendary 4004 chip.

After listening to Moore for more than ten minutes, he knew that there were only two fingernail-sized chips in front of him, which were definitely more advanced than those in another world.

"What's the cost?"

Robert looked around, except for Moore and Andy, the others were far away from the four bosses of the company.

Then Andy whispered, "I calculated it myself. If it is produced in units of 10,000, one is about 46 US dollars."

Li Changheng frowned and nodded, "The cost is so high? How much do you plan to sell?"

Robert was a little worried that Li Changheng would feel that the three of them had decided on the price without discussing it with him.

But when the contract was signed, it was indeed agreed, and it was even written in the contract that before the three of them made no mistakes, the company would be managed by them.

Fortunately, Andy probably really trusted Li Changheng, or felt that he had the fewest shares, so he had to tell the truth to get more opportunities.

Seeing that Robert was silent, he waited for about ten seconds and said, "The price is set at 200 US dollars, as for the cost reduction.

After large-scale production, it should be able to drop by 20% to 30%.

Moreover, according to Moore's Law, the cost should be reduced to half after the technical optimization of the factory in the future. "
