Let me ask: What does it take to build a modern industrial nation?
A large, educated population to work in the factories.
A great number of technical personnel to provide frontline support.
Numerous technical experts to organize production and research…
In fact, the most important thing in building a modern industrial nation is capital!
Let's not talk about other countries—take the Soviet Union's "First Five-Year Plan" as an example. The total investment during the entire plan reached 76.64 billion yuan, equivalent to more than 700 million taels of gold.
One tael of gold is 37.42849791 grams.
700 million taels of gold equals 26,199,948,537 grams of gold.
Converted to US dollars… that's $2.97 billion!
What's the most important thing?
Money is the most important!
Without money, nothing can even get started.
Workers live to work, working to get ahead in life.
