life in the sky

It is precisely because Casey Berner knows the importance of this business that he personally participated in the next negotiations, which is also in line with his current status. Casey Berner is just a deputy secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture, and in the final analysis, he is a person in charge Officials working on specific affairs.Mu Guoxing met him because of diplomatic etiquette, which is also an international practice. Whenever a foreign envoy visits a country, the other party must send a higher-ranking official to meet him. As for the specific negotiations, of course this official will not participate.

It stands to reason that as a deputy minister, Casey Berner should not participate in this kind of specific business negotiations. The exporter can directly negotiate with Huaxia Grain and Oil Import and Export Company. The reason why Casey Berner wants to participate in the negotiation in person is mainly because of this The deal is too big.A business of nearly tens of billions of dollars is a very attractive piece of cake for everyone, especially when the financial turmoil is still raging and the US economy is at a low point, this business is particularly important.

The efficiency of American suppliers is indeed high. At the same time that Casey Berner and Mu Guoxing met, their bidding letter was passed to Huaxia Grain and Oils Import and Export Company. According to this bidding letter, the quality of soybean oil is still good. , the price is also very reasonable, just when Casey Berner thought that the business has been successfully completed, he did not expect that Wei Qiangchen, the vice minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of China, suddenly proposed that the United States should pay more attention to China's clothing, shoes and hats. And the anti-dumping investigation of knitwear, the implication is that if the United States does not end this investigation, Huaxia will never import soybean oil from the United States.

Casey Berner was depressed. It was a very simple matter, but it became much more complicated since then, and it was far beyond what he, the deputy minister of agriculture, could solve. Therefore, he anxiously asked for an urgent meeting with Mu Guoxing At first, I thought that Mu Guoxing would happily agree to the deal if he sued the deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation in front of Mu Guoxing. blocked back.

"Mr. Director, your country imports our soybean oil because our products are of good quality, and your country also needs our products. This is different from the shoes, textiles and clothing your country exports to our country."

"Mr. Deputy Minister, I disagree with your statement. We import soybean oil from your country because we need it. Does your country not need our country's footwear, textiles and clothing? You will not pull it back to fill the sea Right? Where there is a market, there will be demand, and it is the high-quality and cheap commodities in our country that save the American people a large amount of living expenses every year. As I said yesterday, this is completely market behavior and should have been It is a matter of both the supply and demand sides to solve it themselves. Unfortunately, your government insists on interfering. Of course, our government has to respond. If we violate the principle of To fair trade, it is your government that did it. A very bad example."

The two sides argued with each other for nearly half an hour, and no one was willing to make concessions in the face of interests. The current situation is very interesting. The more anxious Casey Berner is, the more calm Mu Guoxing can be. When it comes to self-cultivation, these foreign devils In any case, it cannot compare with the wisdom of the Huaxia people who have 5000 years of Ming history. You must know that the Huaxia people have many Tai Chi masters.

"Mr. Casey Berner, I understand your feelings very well. Since your government has not given you such a strong authorization, then I suggest that we both temporarily end this meeting, and then ask your government to send another person with this authorization." Officials come, or reauthorize you. But you only have 48 hours, to be precise, 47 hours and 10 minutes."

Although none of the deputy ministers spoke, they were all paying attention to all this. Seeing that Mu Guoxing was pressing on Kathy Berner every step of the way, they all felt particularly refreshed.In the past few years, the U.S. government has been waving the big stick of anti-dumping and pointing fingers at our country. Everyone has been suffocated for a long time, and now they finally have a chance to vent their anger. If you don’t feel happy, that’s it Weird thing.

"Boss, this move of yours is good, it completely pushed Casey Berner to the corner."

Mu Guoxing looked at Wei Qiangchen, the vice minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation who was speaking, and said with a smile: "People have to bow their heads under the low eaves. The business of nearly [-] billion will bring them tens of thousands of job opportunities and huge sums of money. American farmers will no longer have to worry about the sale of soybeans. Faced with such a big pie, they will naturally try their best to win it, and we must also make good use of this opportunity."

Yu Zedong also said with a smile: "Chang, there are several big suppliers in the United States, and they also sent us faxes, and they are going to come to negotiate with us tomorrow. What do you think about this matter?"

"This matter is easy to handle. You can call them immediately and ask them to put a little pressure on the US government. If they don't withdraw the anti-dumping investigation against us, we will hand over the business to Brazil. This is also in our national interest. "

None of the deputy ministers spoke, and they were also thinking silently at this time, Mu Guoxing used a series of tricks on them this time, he is really a master of using his strength to push the US government into a corner step by step on, putting them in a two-year situation.On the one hand, there is an anti-dumping investigation on our country’s billions worth of clothing, shoes and hats, and on the other hand, it’s nearly [-] billion dollars worth of soybean oil exports.

Everyone knows that the U.S. anti-dumping investigation on products originating in China is a ulterior motive. The purpose is to force my country to further increase its holdings of U.S. debt and open up markets that have not yet been opened to them.And their method has indeed played a very good effect in some places.This is because our country’s domestic demand has not been fully stimulated, and this industry has fed 10,000+ industrial workers. In order to maintain social stability, we sometimes have to make some concessions in this area, which makes the United States The government has tasted the sweetness, and it does this from time to time.

The current clothing processing industry in the United States is not developed, and coupled with the high labor costs in their country, the prices of the products they produce are extremely high. Compared with Chinese products, they do not have a competitive advantage at all.If you leave China's products, the American people will have to pay a greater price.The U.S. government represents the interests of large consortiums, and for the sake of the interests of the consortia, they will not give too much consideration to the interests of ordinary people. By doing this, Mu Guoxing is actually creating conflicts between several large consortiums.

If the U.S. government terminates the anti-dumping investigation on Huaxia products, it will offend the consortium in the garment processing industry. If it continues to conduct anti-dumping investigations on Huaxia products, Huaxia will not import soybean oil from their country, and they will also offend many farmers, and a consortium of the vegetable oil production industry.In this way, it is enough for the US government to have a headache.

"I believe that the U.S. government will finally agree to the conditions we put forward this time and end the anti-dumping investigation on my country's clothing and footwear. We have achieved a special victory under special circumstances and by using special means! We must grasp the degree of this In the future, you must not follow the gourd, and you must treat the specific situation in a specific manner, and empiricism is out of the question."

Several deputy ministers nodded silently. They realized at the same time that this young chief saw all the problems very clearly. No wonder he held a high position at a young age, and he really has real skills! ! ~!

VIP Chapter 440 Economic Aggression

I have to admit that the efficiency of the U.S. government is high. At [-]:[-] p.m. Eastern Time on the second day, the U.S. Deputy Secretary of Commerce Catherine announced on behalf of the U.S. government that it would postpone the inspection of clothing, shoes and hats and knitting products originating in China for one year. This has paved the way for the nearly US$[-] billion soybean oil trade between China and the United States.

As the news spread, Huaxia's domestic clothing, shoes, hats and knitwear manufacturers were elated. Although the United States only postponed the anti-dumping investigation, it was not a permanent termination, but it could also allow Huaxia's manufacturers to breathe before the financial turmoil completely receded. This is very beneficial to domestic stability and the current industrial adjustment, at least allowing 10,000+ industrial workers to keep their jobs temporarily.

Mu Guoxing couldn't be happy at this time anyway. He knew that the United States is a country eager for quick success and quick benefits, and its foreign policy has always lacked continuity. In addition, the United States will hold another general election next year. In order to win re-election, the current US government has to weigh all parties After the pros and cons, they can only temporarily bow to Huaxia.If we want to solve the problem of international trade imbalance once and for all, we must start with our country's foreign exchange reserve policy and make a fundamental adjustment, and this task undoubtedly involves a wide range of aspects and is of great importance.

In any case, being able to gain a year's time will be very beneficial to the stability of the domestic political situation. After the new and old teams have achieved a smooth transition, what to do next depends on the leadership of the new generation.Many things can be accomplished in one year. In terms of national development strategy, time and timing can be said to be the most important factors.

An hour before the deadline, Casey Berner finally signed a series of related agreements on behalf of the US government. This time the negotiations also ended in China's overall victory.Although this victory is only temporary or staged, in any case, it also gave Huaxia a good start in its future foreign policy, and made the US government realize that China is no longer the poor and backward country that was bullied in the past , They also know how to use the most advantageous weapon of the economy, and with the support of their own strong foreign exchange reserves, strive for the greatest benefit.

In the afternoon of the next day, the Huaxia Foreign Ministry’s report on the working visit to China by U.S. Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Casey Berner was placed on the desk of Chief No. [-]. No. [-] carefully read the report twice. , and then called No. [-] again.

That night, the No. [-] Chief came to the No. [-] Chief's residence, and the two talked for a long time.Careful staff found that after the conversation, the two directors had very excited expressions on their faces, as if they had completed an important national policy formulation, and they looked so relaxed and calm.

A research report from the Economic Research Institute of the State Council was sent to Mu Guoxing's office.The title of the report is "The United States monopolizes domestic soybean oil production."Mu Guoxing smiled satisfied when he saw that the signature on the report was Sun Peiqiang.It seems that this old classmate is still able to seize the time, and it is not easy to come up with important research results in such a short time.

The report starts with genetically modified soybeans, and it is tens of thousands of words. Let alone whether the suggestions mentioned in the report are in line with the actual situation of the country, it is also worthy of praise from the perspective of this spirit.Because this research topic is really too big, without serious investigation and research, coupled with extraordinary courage, I dare not touch this issue.

The main content of the report is: After the transgenic soybeans entered China, most of them entered the edible oil processing enterprises with foreign capital background, and their products quickly occupied most of the market, thus affecting the soybean processing resources and environment in my country, and affecting the local edible oil processing enterprises. A huge impact was formed.

Local edible oil processing enterprises, because they use non-genetically modified soybeans and other raw materials, have higher prices compared with genetically modified soybean oil and are not competitive. Under the dominance of the price of genetically modified soybean oil, the profits of national oil and fat enterprises have declined sharply, and their operations are in trouble. .

Looking back at the process of my country's soybean market being dominated by imported genetically modified soybeans, we can clearly see that the world's four major international grain merchants have a very strategic vision and have a long-term intention to swallow China's soybean industry.First of all, they are changing the eating habits of Chinese people's traditional cooking oil; second, American international grain merchants, as foreign capital introduced, enjoy preferential policies, and have successively invested in the establishment of crushing and processing enterprises in China that use imported soybeans as raw materials.

At the same time, domestic capital has also been involved in the field of oil extraction that can import soybeans as raw materials. More and more domestic capital has entered the field of soybean crushing, and crushing companies have blossomed everywhere. Therefore, some domestic economists and industrial circles have become obsessed with the world's soybean crushing industry. Eastward shift of the center of gravity.Due to our comparative advantages in labor force, we have achieved the progress of the world's processing plants. Little do we know that we have already fallen into the pockets of the four major international grain merchants in the United States step by step.

Due to the expansion of processing capacity, the shortage of soybean raw materials has become a constant headache for processing and squeezing enterprises.Two years ago, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation organized some domestic capital extraction companies to set up purchasing groups to buy soybeans in the United States in order to increase their bargaining power.On the eve of the purchasing group's trip to the United States, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that the world's soybean harvest was poor that year. On the same day, the price of soybeans on the Chicago Board of Trade rose sharply from $9 per ton to $5, hitting a five-year high.

Shortly after the Chinese purchasing group signed a huge purchase contract and left the United States, the U.S. Department of Agriculture clarified that new data showed that the world's soybean production would increase significantly.Soybean prices on the Chicago Board of Trade quickly turned down, plummeting to $66.Businessmen in our country suffered heavy losses and some enterprises faced bankruptcy as a result.At this time, the four major international grain merchants "sent charcoal in time" to allow my country's crushing enterprises on the verge of bankruptcy to continue to operate, on the condition that they transfer their equity.

This time, the four major international grain merchants took the opportunity to make large-scale acquisitions and controlled a large number of vegetable oil crushing enterprises in Huaxia, and completed the layout of the soybean crushing and processing industry in Huaxia.The data shows that of the 97 large-scale oil processing companies in the country, foreign capital actually controls 64 of them, accounting for 66%. Of the remaining companies, 7 of them were acquired by a large consortium in coastal cities. In addition, foreign capital also owns Huaxia imported soybean processing. 8o% of capacity.

After completely controlling the raw materials, processing, and market of Huaxia's soybean industry, the international soybean futures market has once again made waves.Affected by the international market, domestic soybean futures prices rose from US$6 at the beginning of the year to US$4 at the end of the year two years ago, and continued to soar last year, reaching a peak of US$7 in July.In just 54 months, the price has doubled.

Sun Peiqiang pointed out angrily in this research report: This is not a price rise caused by the demand relationship, but the evil result caused by the monopoly of American companies in the market.Because China is the world's largest soybean importer, the skyrocketing price has cost us an extra $78 billion.We are willing to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to buy genetically modified soybeans abroad and pay an extra $78 billion, but we are not willing to subsidize the money to farmers.Perhaps as long as [-] million yuan is used for research on soybean seeds, farmers in the country can use better seeds.

What is even more frightening is that GM soybeans are trying to further expand their territory in China. Some criminals and unscrupulous businessmen have jointly set up a scheme with American GM soybean suppliers to allow GM soybeans to be mixed into China's national grain depot.At the end of last year, the grain department of Liaodong Province discovered that some dealers took advantage of the state's policy of purchasing domestically produced soybeans at preferential prices, and sold suspected imported genetically modified soybeans as domestically produced soybeans to the national grain depot to earn a price difference.

An investigation by the Liaodong Soybean Association confirmed that last month, Hexi Xinchang Food Company refused to accept soybeans sold by a Liaodong trader because it contained suspected genetically modified soybeans.It can be said bluntly that once China's grain depots are filled with genetically modified soybeans, China's soybean industry will be completely controlled by the Americans, and China's national security will be more and more in the hands of the Americans.This means that the U.S. government can firmly control them by using only a few large food producers and suppliers, plus the notorious Iron Mountain Corporation, without firing a single shot, so as to complete their control The economic aggression of our country. ! ~!

Chapter 440 of VIP

The flowers are not too strong these days, Smile is going to explode once, from now until 5:[-] tomorrow morning, if the flowers rise to [-], eight chapters will burst, this is Smile’s greatest effort, I hope book friends will continue to invest in flowers and flowers Vote for it, and accompany this "Life in the Sky" to complete the final glory together. (Above free)

With a "bang", Mu Guoxing slapped the table with his palm. Fortunately, he didn't use his internal strength this time, and it was also fortunate that the mahogany desk was strong, so he didn't slap it to pieces.Just like this, the teacups and utensils on the table also jumped up high, making a clattering sound.

Two guards rushed into the office following the sound, and Zheng Wei from the secretary's room next door also rushed in. Mu Guoxing realized that he had lost his composure just now, and waved to the two guards to make them retreat, and then said to Zheng Wei : "Please make a copy of this document, please send Comrade Shan to No. [-], No. [-], No. [-] and Vice Premier Gao's office respectively."

Zheng Wei nodded and walked out with this document. He took advantage of the photocopying time to read the contents of the document. He understood why Mu Guoxing was angry just now.After such a big incident, none of the people below reported to the central government. This is a very serious problem. Now the country’s grain and oil production has been messed up by these people. It seems that the problem has come and must be resolved. It's resolved.

Mu Guoxing stood up and paced back and forth in the office. This is a habit he has developed in recent years. Whenever he considers important issues, Mu Guoxing will do this.Zhong Ling once said that Mu Guoxing's action was very similar to Zhong Lao's. Maybe these big men would have such actions when they were thinking about problems.

Mu Guoxing has thought a lot about it. If he wants to solve this problem in the future, he must first ban the planting of genetically modified crops and the processing of food, and this will damage the interests of the United States in China.Through this soybean oil trade, Mu Guoxing can clearly see that the US government is supporting their country's enterprises in China. In this way, the two sides may launch a new round of trade war.

Once the trade war between the two countries starts, it will inevitably involve the security of our country's foreign exchange reserves, and this is a major issue related to national security and development strategy. If a move is not handled carefully, big things will happen.

The only solution now is to gradually reduce the holdings of U.S. treasury bonds, diversify the risk of foreign exchange reserves, further accelerate the pace of domestic industrial adjustment, take out part of the foreign exchange reserves, import some materials related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and use this method to actively return them Funds are tilted toward agricultural production and high-tech fields.In addition, work on the national economy and people's livelihood must be strengthened, and social insurance should be vigorously improved. Only by doing this can the United States not continue to be stuck in our necks, and the new generation of leadership can make a difference in the next ten years.

Mu Guoxing knew that he could not do this now. Although he was now a member of the Politburo, he did not have enough power in his hands. Before the time was ripe, he could not take further actions. What he could do now The only thing I want to do is to blow the wind to the relevant leaders and make them pay more attention to the situation in this aspect.

Judging from several conversations between Chief No. [-] and Mu Guoxing, the two people's governance concepts are still very consistent. With the support of No. [-], the new leadership group will smoothly pass these policies of Mu Guoxing Policy, otherwise, the high-level central government will launch another fierce struggle.This will not only greatly affect the stability of the domestic political situation, but may also slow down or even reverse the country's economic development. No one wants to see this situation.It can be seen that the consistency and correctness of high-level governance concepts are crucial to the development of a country.

Two days later, Casey Berner, the deputy secretary of the US Department of Agriculture, ended his visit to China. The night before he left, Mu Guoxing hosted a banquet for Casey Berner and his party on behalf of the Chinese government. Both parties got what they needed in the negotiation. This banquet is only a courtesy.

It can be seen that Casey Berner is in a good mood today. This farmer from Texas likes a grilled steak at a state banquet the most, but he doesn't care much about some seafood.The difference in eating habits in each country and different regions of a country also represents the difference in their way of thinking.

Seeing Kathy Bernard pick up a piece of bloodshot steak and put it into his mouth, Mu Guoxing felt sick to his stomach. The United States, a country that claims to be highly sophisticated, has actually inherited the habit of their ancestors drinking blood in terms of life.

Mu Guoxing has seriously studied the history of the United States: as early as 2 years ago, a group of wanderers from Asia arrived in South America via North America. These people are the ancestors of the Native Americans of the Indians.When Columbus discovered the new continent, there were about 6 Indians living in America, of which about [-] lived in what is now Canada and the northern United States, and most of the rest lived in what is now Mexico and the southern United States.

In 587 and the following 5 years, many colonists came successively and settled in the coastal areas. Most of them came from Britain, and some came from France, Germany, Holland, Ireland and other countries.

In the 8th century, the first British colonies gradually formed, and they had their own governments and parliaments under the supreme sovereignty of the United Kingdom.Due to the differences in climate and geographical environment in this colonial area, differences in economic forms, political systems and concepts have been caused.

In the colonial era, along with the long wars with the Native Americans of North America, severe labor shortages produced unfree labor such as slaves and indentured slaves, while the British government's laissez-faire policy allowed the unique American spirit and culture to emerge. Exhibiting its uniqueness, the heinous slave trade was prevalent in the United States at this time.

From 6 to 7, British colonists successively established thirteen colonies on the east coast of North America (the Atlantic coast).The British immigrated to North America in pursuit of freedom and wealth. Most of these immigrants were Puritans and poor farmers who were persecuted in their countries, as well as some criminals and adventurers.Later, these colonies became the original thirteen states at the time of North American independence.

Strictly speaking, the family history of the United States is a history of plunder. Their happiness today is based on the suffering of other countries and nations. Such a country has no morals and beliefs to speak of. Their greed is Endless, this can be fully proved by their actions after the founding of the country. For their own survival, they will not take into account the feelings of other nations and races.
