life in the sky

According to relevant data, the U.S. government subsidizes agricultural products very heavily. Take cotton as an example, the subsidy rate is as high as 89%.That is to say, if American farmers produce 100 yuan of cotton, the government will subsidize 89 yuan.It completely exceeds the cost of planting for American farmers.Because of this, American cotton is very cheap.

And as long as our country imports cheap cotton from the United States, everything will repeat what happened to soybeans and corn, and China's self-produced cotton will no longer have room for competition.In the past, we still introduced Tieshandu's insect-resistant cotton 33B, which can barely be called production.But as long as American cotton is imported, China's cotton market will fall again after soybeans and corn.This fall was much more serious. After the fall of soybeans, it affected grain and oil, and after the fall of corn, it affected all chickens, ducks, eggs, and dairy products. These two items in turn affected 33% of China's food CPI.Once cotton is controlled again, the raw materials of the most important textiles exported by China will all be under the control of the United States.

As early as three years ago, a survey report in Hong Kong showed that the heavily subsidized American cotton would make millions of farmers in China face the fate of being squeezed out of the international cotton market.According to the estimates of the Rural Economic Research Center of the Ministry of Agriculture of China, after China's entry into the WTO, imported cotton has cost Chinese farmers more than 6 billion yuan in six years, which is equivalent to losing 250 yuan in net income for each cotton farmer.On the one hand, high government subsidies make the price of American cotton about 250 yuan per ton lower than that of domestic cotton on average. Vigorously promote "American cotton".

The cotton industry involves multiple links such as planting, storage, textiles, printing and dyeing, and clothing. It has a long industrial chain and a large industrial scale. It is also the main support point for my country's foreign trade exports and economic growth.The impact of American cotton has a great impact on Huaxia's textile industry.For every ton of American cotton that Huaxia imports, the U.S. government subsidizes American farmers with RMB 600.Moreover, since three years ago, a large amount of American cotton has been shipped to China's bonded area and dumped in China at a lower price.

Why does Monsanto enter my country's cotton production field at this time, and the United States subsidizes cotton so much at this time?We can fully imagine that China's shortfall of 300 million tons will be subsidized by American cotton, and all this is the conspiracy of Monsanto and the US government.Everyone knows that China's textiles account for a very large proportion of exports, so this is our real crisis.When our economy cannot be stimulated, we will suddenly find that whether our economy will enter stagflation depends entirely on the eyes of the Americans, whether the United States will indirectly control our inflation by controlling the three major agricultural products. This is the scariest thing.

This is also one of the main reasons why the central government wants to carry out the [-] project. First, start with the production, processing and sales of grain to ensure the safety of food, and then carry out actions in other agricultural products such as cotton to ensure the safety of more than one billion people. Survival of clothing and textile businesses.

Charlton also knew that once discussions with the Chinese government on the issue that the four major grain merchants and Tieshan are in the Chinese grain field will inevitably involve the sales of American cotton in China, and the issue of cotton will also be involved The export of China's goods and the big issue between the two countries' trade, this issue is too important, Charlton felt as if he was holding a hot potato in his hand, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Answered Mu Guoxing's question.

"Mr. Charlton, since agricultural subsidies are something that governments of all countries are doing, we don't need to discuss this issue. If the US government insists on discussing it, I suggest that we arrange another time to discuss it. Problems in this area. Under the current circumstances, we can only act according to the actual situation in our respective countries and according to the laws of the market. Our Huaxia is still very backward in agricultural production, and our agricultural products are not competitive in the international market. It will not harm the interests of farmers in your country."

Mu Guoxing is obviously giving Charlton a step down, which means that the agricultural products produced in our country are not enough for ourselves, and we simply have no ability to take them out for re-export, and will not compete with the United States. In this case Now, why does the U.S. government criticize the Chinese government's agricultural subsidies?

This is actually a concession made by Mu Guoxing on behalf of the Huaxia government, which means that in the future, until the agricultural production of our country is improved, agricultural products will not be exported.The U.S. government can rest assured in this regard.As for our current subsidies to our country's agriculture, that is our own business! .

VIP Two Thousand 490 Chapter Five

At the same time as Mu Guoxing was having talks with Charlton, No. [-] and No. [-] also had several talks with U.S. Secretary of State Palak. What they talked about was the relationship between the two countries and international issues of common concern. It is to strive for the greatest interests of their respective countries, which is a bit like soldiers against soldiers and generals.

This is the first visit to China by a high-level U.S. government since the new leadership of Huaxia took office. All countries in the world have paid close attention to it. The method used to force the Huaxia government to make another concession to meet their demands, but they did not expect that this time they encountered a nail that was neither soft nor hard.

In addition to the Huaxia government's promise to purchase [-] trillion US dollars of goods in the international market in the next five years, there is also a promise to orderly appreciate the renminbi within five years, which is of little use.Regarding Huaxia's increase in U.S. debt, which they need most, Huaxia is uncharacteristically, and did not discuss this issue with them at all during the talks.

The Chinese government undoubtedly drew a big pie for the US government, which can only be watched but not eaten.The purchase of ten trillion dollars of goods seems to be a large amount, but the Huaxia currency government did not promise to import all of them from the United States, but generally said that it would buy from the international market.

Even a group of idiots in the U.S. government know that they have been put together by Huaxia on this issue. The international market is so big, and it is not just the United States. Whose products are good, or which country is friendly to China, will China buy them. Commodities, this is called shopping around. Of course, when Huaxia considers this issue, it will definitely tie politics and economy together.

In this way, China has undoubtedly created another big trouble for the United States and its allies: if any country wants to get a big piece of cake, it must first establish a good relationship with China, and it must be careful not to touch China's core interests. Huaxia thinks that if they are not satisfied, they will never buy a penny of goods from this country. This is a disguised form of sanctions against them.

Those who have money these days are masters. Now that the economies of the United States and the European Union are in a precarious state, they urgently need China’s help, ten trillion dollars worth of goods. How many jobs will this create for Western countries in economic crisis? How many percentage points have their domestic GDP increased? Facing such an attractive big cake, it would be strange if Western countries were not tempted. Maybe they wouldn't have to hint at anything from Huaxia. I'm afraid they themselves would argue endlessly. What at this time Allies and the like are all nonsense, and only the interests of the country are paramount.In this way, there must be many internal contradictions in Western countries, and China will create a relatively long period of stable development for itself. At least within five years, Western countries will still act according to China's face, and they will no longer collude with the United States Together, tell us what to do.

The New York Times of the United States wrote under the title "Secretary of State's visit to China under the shadow of the US economy": After the general election in China, the US government has focused on turning a new page in the relationship between the two countries. This time, Secretary of State Palak led an economic and trade delegation. Visiting China and meeting with the new generation of Chinese leaders reflects the strong desire of the US government in this regard.But in the actual talks, new uncertainties in the relationship between the two countries have increased.Chinese leaders sharply criticized the U.S. economy and the strength of its leadership, as partisanship and political paralysis in the U.S. forced the escalation of the problem into a crisis.China's official media has recently published several comments, calling on the United States to "get rid of debt addiction", pay more attention to the development of its own economy.

The New York Times also wrote in the article: Secretary of State Palak discussed with Chinese leaders this time the security issues that the two countries have disputes-US arms sales to Taiwan, the North Korean nuclear issue, the situation in the South China Sea, etc., but the most concerned economic issues It has inevitably moved to the foreground. As the United States urgently needs China to increase its holdings of U.S. debt to help tide over the difficulties, the RMB exchange rate issue, which the U.S. government was most concerned about in the past, is no longer so important at this time.Therefore, the Secretary of State's visit to China this time is not to put pressure on China on the issue of RMB appreciation, but on Chinese officials to put pressure on the United States on the stability of the dollar. The roles of both parties have changed unconsciously and quietly.

German, British, and French media also published similar articles at the same time. They agreed that the exchange of roles between China and the United States may end the world structure where the United States dominates the world. This has brought huge influence and influence worldwide. Uncertainty and the attitudes of the two major powers will determine the future direction of the world economy.

On the Standing Committee of the Politburo, No. [-] said: "This time, the US Secretary of State Palak did not engage in too much entanglement with us on the issue of human rights, and he also adopted an evasive attitude on the issue of the RMB exchange rate. The arms sales are also ambiguous, which will add more variables to the relationship between the two countries in the future."

No. [-] said: "This time we can say that we have a tie with the United States, and we have a slight advantage after careful calculation. I am afraid that when Palak returns, they will quarrel in the country again."

It can be seen that Number [-] and Number [-] are still very happy. For so many years, the US government has used human rights issues to point fingers at us, and used the issue of RMB appreciation to force us to make concessions in certain aspects. The central leadership has had enough of their anger, but for the sake of the country's development, they have always swallowed their anger. Now that the situation has changed, the US government has to consider our feelings.

No. [-] looked at Mu Guoxing: "Comrade Guoxing, you talked very well with US Assistant Secretary of State Charlton this time, and you will not back down on the issue of the RMB exchange rate. The problem has also been subtly blocked by the promise to increase the purchase of goods worth [-] trillion US dollars in the next five years, which has won us a rare period of development.”

No. [-] said: "This time we can say that we have achieved a moderate victory, but there is still an issue of arms sales to Taiwan, which we must attach great importance to. This is our core interest."

Xie Yunfei, No. [-], who is in charge of ideological work, said: "This visit to China by US Secretary of State Palak has attracted widespread attention from the world's media. There are only two main arguments. One is that the role of China and the United States has quietly changed. There are already forces confronting the United States. This argument is obviously to be flattered. There is also an argument that the United States will let China acquiesce in the United States’ arms sales to Taiwan on the condition that the United States give up the forced appreciation of the renminbi. This is obviously a murder. Regardless of whether it is a flattery or a shady killing, we must attach great importance to it.

Seeing that Du Mu Guoxing looked confident, No. [-] smiled and said: "Since we have analyzed the conspiracy against us by the United States and other Western countries, do you want Comrade Guoxing to talk about the countermeasures?"

Mu Guoxing smiled and said: "Comrade Yunfei is right. Whether it is flattery or shady killing, we must attach great importance to it. The interests of the country are paramount, and no one is allowed to damage the core interests. We still use the past The old way, using both political and economic means to deal with their hands."

No. [-] asked with great interest: "Comrade Guoxing has any tricks up his sleeve?"

"Recently, according to the unified deployment made by the Standing Committee last time, I instructed the People's Bank of China and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange to secretly sell US treasury bonds. , also sold more than 1000 billion yuan. I plan to increase the intensity of selling U.S. debt in the next step, and strive to sell [-] billion U.S. debt this year, so that the amount of U.S. debt held in our hands will remain at [-] billion Left and right, since this is a secret operation, it has not yet caused any major shocks in the international financial market."

No. [-] Meng Xianqiang said: "The last central leadership group also studied to reduce the holdings of U.S. debt, but it has not found a very suitable solution. The [-] billion U.S. debt that we are selling now, we It is also necessary to find a way out for this money. In any case, from the current point of view, compared with other countries' sovereign debts, U.S. debt is relatively safe."

VIP two thousand four hundred and ninety six chapters to do something

Thank you, Ai Qian, for your reward. This is not only a concern of Meng Xianqiang, but the other members of the Standing Committee do not understand what Mu Guoxing's next plan is. ) As soon as Meng Xianqiang finished speaking, the members of the Standing Committee all focused their attention on Mu Guoxing's face. Everyone wanted to hear what kind of clever tricks Vice Premier Mu, who knows the economy best among the Standing Committee members, had.

Mu Guoxing smiled and said with confidence: "Accelerating the internationalization of the RMB was a decision made by the last central leadership. Facts have proved that this decision can not only avoid damage to our foreign exchange reserves, but also further shake the international currency of the US dollar. The status of the currency, this is a very strategic decision."

Regarding the formulation of this decision, four members of the Standing Committee of this session also participated at that time. Of course, they knew the ins and outs of this matter.But there is one thing they are still not very clear about. What does this have to do with dealing with Western countries' flattery and murder against us, and stopping the US arms sales to Taiwan?

Mu Guoxing continued: "To achieve this strategic goal, it is not enough to rely solely on the government's administrative means to enforce it. Western countries have been watching the US government for decades, and they will definitely not support it in this regard. Ours. For example, we can try to make all foreign aid and countries that require us to purchase their sovereign debt settle in RMB, and the foreign trade of all state-owned enterprises should also be handled in the same way. Now that the worldwide financial crisis is intensifying, many countries Hopefully, we'll reach out to them, and that's a rare opportunity for us to implement this plan, which means the time is ripe."

At this point, all members of the Standing Committee understand that what Mu Guoxing has done is brilliant. Western countries have been watching the United States for decades because the United States has a lot of money and can use economic and military means to control other countries. nation.Now that the U.S. government has fallen into the quagmire of the debt crisis, they are unable to provide economic assistance to other countries, and the sovereign debt crisis of other countries has affected the foundation of their country. Money to get them through the crisis.

In this way, the problem is much easier to handle. Do foreign countries want to borrow money?Then you must agree to my terms, I will lend you RMB, and you will have to pay back my RMB when the time comes, and if you don’t agree, I will not lend you money.In this way, we will not be afraid that the U.S. will force the renminbi to appreciate, because the more the renminbi appreciates, the more money they will pay back in the future. Maybe some countries that borrowed money from us will try their best to prevent the further appreciation of the renminbi in the future. Some contradictions have been created among Western countries.

Just when everyone thought this method was good, Mu Guoxing said again: "There are pros and cons to everything. There are pros and cons to a policy. Once this policy is promulgated, it will definitely be affected by some domestic interests. International public opinion will also think that my country is intervening in the market economy and exerting pressure on us. This requires us to make full preparations in all aspects and formulate a thorough and practical response strategy."

No. [-] added: "I still have a question, even if we still have [-] billion U.S. treasury bonds by the end of the year, if we implement this plan now, will it cause the U.S. government to counteract us?" , after all, [-] billion US dollars is not a small amount."

"For this aspect, we don't have to worry too much. According to the agreement reached between our country and the US government this time, one of them is that the US government further relaxes restrictions on our high-tech export. We can spend another [-] billion, Buy the high-tech products and technologies we need. Judging from the current situation, the US government also wants us to buy their products. Haven’t they been emphasizing the need to achieve a trade balance between the two countries?”

No. [-] nodded: "In this way, by the end of next year at the latest, the total amount of US debt we hold will only be about [-] billion. In order to maintain the credibility of their country, the US government will not play tricks on this [-] billion debt. , if they really do this, they can only die faster and uglier!"

Ren Dongyi on the [-]th raised a question at this time: "Comrade Guoxing, I don't know much about economics, and I still don't understand the direct relationship between the series of measures taken and the Western countries' flattery and murder against us." Woolen cloth?"

Mu Guoxing looked at Ren Dongyi and said with a smile: "This question is easy to explain. The series of measures we have taken are all to prepare for the Western countries' flattery and murder against us. Increase the weight to deal with US arms sales to Taiwan and prepare for further weakening of US national power. The diversification of foreign exchange reserves is to ensure the safety of our foreign exchange reserves and is in line with our national interests. The common people also know that eggs cannot be placed in one Truth in the basket."

Seeing that Ren Dongyi was still a bit puzzled, Mu Guoxing said: "According to the timetable of the US arms sales to Taiwan, the US government will announce this in three months, and I judge that they will do the same. Do it. If the U.S. government dares to continue selling arms to Taiwan despite our country’s opposition, we will announce to the world that we will sell U.S. debt. At that time, it will inevitably cause panic in the international financial market, and the U.S. dollar will definitely depreciate sharply. Some U.S. debts are already very small, and it can be said that the losses suffered are not large. The remaining hundreds of billions of U.S. debts are placed there. First, it can save face for the U.S. government and prevent it from being completely torn apart. The second is that we can continue to catch his tail. If they dare to damage our core interests, we will do him again. This will not happen a few times. Not only the US government can't stand it, but the big capitalists on Wall Street They are also going to come out and speak for us."

"Okay, this is a good idea!" No. [-] applauded repeatedly: "The suggestion made by Comrade Guoxing has hit the seven inches of the United States. Let me add one more point, our current policy of increasing social security will continue to be strengthened. Especially It is to greatly increase the standard of unemployment benefits. If the US government imposes trade sanctions on us, we will simply shut down and transfer a batch of export enterprises without technical content, which is also very beneficial to speed up the transformation of enterprises. We can Properly arrange laid-off workers by increasing unemployment benefits and guiding re-employment, so that we will be invincible. Now the US market is inseparable from Chinese manufacturing, and it may not be long before they ask us to ask them again Export low-end products with good quality and low price.”

Mu Guoxing said: "I very much agree with No. [-]'s opinion. Recently, I am going to talk to the State Investment and Development Corporation and ask them to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make some fuss in the US dollar futures market. I estimate that the benefits will be absolute. It will not be lower. It is estimated that [-] billion U.S. dollars should still be available. This is what we call using American money to support the people of our country.”

If someone else said this, number one and number three would think they were bragging, but when Mu Guoxing said this, they thought it could be done.Because the facts have proved that Mu Guoxing not only has advanced strategic vision, but also is very capable in finance.The Ssangyong Group, which he founded in college, has developed step by step to today by relying on the money earned in the US futures market.So far, the profits generated by the international investment department of Ssangyong Group still account for a considerable proportion of the entire group. This cannot but be said to be a miracle, and this miracle was created by Mu Guoxing.

No. [-] said: "Comrade Guoxing also mentioned just now that there may be resistance from some domestic vested interest groups, and I will be responsible for this matter. We still say that whoever cannot maintain consistency with the central government should ask him to hand over the matter." As an official, if anyone obstructs the implementation of the central government's policies, we will use all our strength to uproot this vested interest group. As for the influence of international public opinion, let the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs argue with them. Those people He has a lot of experience in this area. In a word, political responsibilities are collectively assumed by the Standing Committee, and Comrade Mu Guoxing is responsible for the implementation of specific work.”

One sentence from Chief No. [-] determined that this proposal put forward by Mu Guoxing has become an important policy of Huaxia Kingdom. Of course, the implementation of this plan is also extremely confidential. Except for the nine of them, it is No one else will ever know.

VIP Chapter 490 Seven Important Tasks

In the dead of night, the courtyard of Yi Le Hall was completely silent. After a busy day, Mu Guoxing walked out of the office and habitually came to the lake in front of Duo Fu Hall. **Bubble! Book.Bar*

Several guards loomed around Mu Guoxing's surroundings. Although there was a platoon of soldiers in charge of guarding the perimeter, the personal guards could not be separated for a moment.

Mu Guoxing's sixth apprentice, Liu Mingxin, the head of the bodyguard, came over with one of Mu Guoxing's coats: "Chief, it's cold in the night, you should pay attention to your health!"

"Mingxin, Qiao Ming's body is recovering pretty well now, I'm busy with work now, you guys can visit him more for me when you have time."

"Chief, Qiao Ming is now the vice president of the security department at the headquarters of Ssangyong Group. I went to see him at his home two days ago. Everything in the house is fine. Qiao Ming said that he can no longer contribute to Master, and he feels very sad."

"Qiao Ming has already paid for his health for the country. You can talk to Director Zheng and arrange a time. I want to see him." After a while, Mu Guoxing said again: "I miss the old days very much now." At that time, how many things did we master and apprentice do together!"

Liu Mingxin smiled and said, "Master, you are so busy with work now, don't be distracted by these things. If Qiao Ming knows that you want to see him, I don't know how happy he will be."

Mu Guoxing nodded: "The children of your senior brothers should be more than five years old."
