Chapter 379 The Fourth Round of Negotiations
Raymond looked at the serious person and the hint of 'I can give you a lot of kickbacks' in the other person's eyes, and wanted to slap him.
"Even if Congress agrees to use the gold reserves, there is still the Fed."
"Old Lei, the economy in North America is not good. If the economy is not good, things will go wrong. At that time, I will take the opportunity to do them. You help cover it up. The Congressmen take the money, so the Fed will pass?"
"Are you planning to make me treason?"
"Actually, Germany is also very good. I heard that your grandfather is of German descent?"
"I'm a true North American now!"
"Good beauty, let's stop here for today's discussion, I want to go back and catch up on my sleep."
After Xu Fei finished speaking, he picked up the white porcelain cup and walked out of the venue leisurely.
Lei Meng looked around at the staff of both parties who had not yet been seated, as well as the copy of the "Fourth Round of Most Favored Nation Negotiations" that was about to be negotiated in front of him.
"Xu, it's over before it even starts, isn't it too soon?!"
"The North American economy is not good."
"Fuck!"
Raymond understands that the guy in front of him is going to procrastinate until North America agrees to take out the gold, "Xu, North America is not up to me, nor is it up to Xiaobu. If the economy deteriorates, the democratic faction will gradually gain the upper hand, and even It is possible to win the upcoming midterm elections and take control of the House of Representatives and Senate.
At that time, your investment in North America, including Leifei Technology, pet hospitals, health food, and international supply and marketing system, will be suppressed, fined, expelled, and sanctioned by them.
If you help solve the problem, Xiaobu will get more approval ratings and more voice, we can at least make decisions about your industry, such as Daze Group, Lei Ze Group, Lei Xia Ze Group, in some aspects Open one eye, close one eye. "
Xu Fei stopped the pace of leaving, "plus Hongqi Industry, Great Wall Industry, Red Founder, and Wanxin International."
"Xu, since you plan to bring Dongfang, we will ask Dongfang to restrict Germany's investment in the East. Going further, Dongfang should stand with us and fight against Germany."
"Old Lei, you are too selfish. You only think about the support and voice of you and Xiaobu. Have you ever thought about my situation? I also need support and voice. If I don't bring those central enterprises, I will If you can’t get promoted and raise your salary, then why should I convince my leader to export cheap goods to North America to help your capitalist empire tide over the difficulties?”
"We are capitalism, but not an empire."
"He...tui, what kind of broken tea leaves."
Lei Meng glanced at the white porcelain cup filled with boiled water, his face trembling, "Xu, you need foreign exchange."
"Yes, we need foreign exchange, but the technology in North America has lagged behind Germany, and Germany is willing to export three-axis linkage machine tools and five-axis linkage machine tools. How about you? Arrangement mechanism, trade blockade, secret rumors, public opinion war... So, we What is needed now is the euro."
"Xu, North America has already made adjustments, otherwise they wouldn't come here to discuss MFN treatment."
"Then you were also forced by Debei. If there was no Debei, maybe neither of us would know each other."
"..."
…………
The negotiations on the first day were over before they even started.
Although Raymond knows that if the East wants to develop rapidly, employment, domestic demand, and foreign trade are all indispensable, and it also relies heavily on North America.
But the East now has one more option, which is to export the united European region.
Therefore, North America fell behind in this round of negotiations.
Lei Meng sighed, took out the encrypted communicator, and contacted Xiao Bu.
The North American economy is really bad.
This stems from the frantic cash-outs from the stock market and funds, and then frenziedly buying up electrical appliances, cars, and toys.
In the past, North America pursued consumption in advance, consumption in installments, overdraft consumption, and card maintenance. The interest and liquidated damages generated in this process prompted financial institutions in North America to make a lot of money.
Regardless of whether this model is good or bad, as long as it is stable, the economy will develop in a healthy way.
However, stockholders fled the stock market and funds. With money in their hands, they either repaid their credit cards, repaid their loans ahead of schedule, or snapped up commodities...
The funds flowing into the market are as high as trillions of dollars.
The living conditions of stockholders have indeed improved, and the income of practitioners in the service industry has also surged, but this has stimulated production capacity.
American companies that used to be able to produce 100 TV sets a day can now produce 1000 TV sets a day and sell them by increasing capital and expanding production and recruiting employees according to market demand.
At first glance, it seems to be a good thing.
The problem is that the money in the pockets of stockholders is not a 'long-term stable income', but a one-time profit.
When they run out, spending power returns to previous levels again.
However, the production capacity of US companies has been increased, which will soon lead to overcapacity.
Logically speaking, overcapacity should reduce prices, but under the background of "false income increase", American companies spend a lot of money to increase capital and expand production, hire employees with high salaries, and the cost of manufacturing TVs is much higher than before.
If the price is reduced, it means a loss.
A loss means insufficient funds and needs a loan, but the bank has no money and cannot lend...
Therefore, American companies would rather store their products in warehouses and wait for people to afford them than lower prices.
What Xiaobu means is to help American companies sell excess production lines, and then introduce cheap products to force American companies to cut prices, and then sell domestically to export to solve overcapacity, thereby alleviating economic problems.
In other words, sell the production line to country A, and then import cheap products from country A so that people in North America can afford them. Seeing this, American companies have to cut prices in order to keep the market. Xiaobu took the opportunity to export the products with reduced prices to country A. Earn back all the dollars earned by country A, or even more.
Obviously, Xu Fei has seen through all of this, and hopes that North America will pay gold, so as to avoid money flowing into the East and being taken away by North America again.
Xiao Bu received a call from Raymond and heard that the dog dealer was eyeing the gold reserve. He thought for a long time, "I can give him 2000 tons."
"I'm afraid he wants more."
"First promise to come down, wait until the mid-term election is resolved, and then the two sides will talk slowly."
"it is good!"
……
Xu Fei wanted gold, not deliberately making things difficult for Lei Meng, nor was it to prevent North America from taking the money back.
Instead, gold is extremely malleable and stable, and can reflect 98.3% of infrared rays.
Infrared rays permeate every corner of the universe, with strong penetrating power, strong heating ability, and extremely destructive power to electronic equipment.
If our own side wants to Boom off the moon, it is necessary to arrange a large number of engineers to go to the moon to explore, survey and map, build peace facilities, and even change their thinking to build a planetary engine to propel the moon to fly into the depths of the universe.
In this process, in order to prevent construction workers from being exposed to infrared radiation, they need to manufacture a large number of gold-sprayed space suits, space helmets, space goggles, and even precision construction equipment must be electroplated with a layer of gold.
Therefore, accumulating gold in advance is conducive to later development.
And gold is composed of gold element.
The element gold is born in supernova explosions, or neutron star mergers.
To put it simply, it is a super star 10 to 30 times larger than the sun, which collapses, fuses, and explodes at the end of its lifespan.
During the explosion, some elements with an atomic number higher than that of iron will be produced, including gold.
The supernova after the explosion may become a black hole or a neutron star.
Two neutron stars cannibalize each other, also producing gold.
Therefore, the gold on the mother star is a product before the birth of the solar system, and use a little less. Only when a nearby super star explodes or a neutron star merges, the gold collapses by chance, and the solar system is not destroyed, human beings can get more gold.
Generally speaking, the value of gold is far underestimated. When the aerospace industry explodes, the price of gold will rise far more than that of crude oil.
"The question is, why hasn't the price of crude oil come down?!"
Xu Fei went back to the office and looked through the quotations of oil-producing countries as usual, feeling very melancholy.
Everything that has been done recently has been aimed at lowering oil prices.
However, the Yitong operation was as fierce as a tiger, and the unit price of crude oil was still 250.
The secretary said: "Demand, the number of fuel vehicles is increasing, and countries are in an arms race. Before electric devices are widely used, oil prices will only rise, not fall."
"..."
"And the U.S. dollar is linked to crude oil, and North America does not want crude oil to plummet."
"Well, fortunately, there is no rush to hoard crude oil, you can take your time."
Xu Fei switched the computer page to check the itinerary.
Senior officials and military officials from various countries disguised as journalists left after attending the press conference.
The remaining real journalists hope to hold an interview where the content can be made public.
"For the sake of performance, it's not easy for everyone. The interview is scheduled for tonight and lasts until the early morning."
"Good factory manager."
"On January 1, X municipality will officially open to the public. It is estimated that a large number of rich people will come to join in the fun. Why not set the terminal of the global Kirov trip at the top of Mount Everest, and then take the construction track and fly down 22 meters. "(The altitude at the foot of the Himalayas is about 3000 meters, and Xu Fei's altitude is only 5000 meters to the top of Mount Everest)
"What about the fare?"
"A piece of $3."
"Do you have insurance?"
"Take the red flag insurance."
"Ok."
"I see the schedule, return to Daze on February 2?"
"Yes, there are still 20 days before the Spring Festival. The industrial park will not be on holiday this year. Director Shang of the Daze Industrial Research Office has decided to hold several gala parties. The operation center also plans to hold our first annual meeting in history. As a factory Long, I need to hurry back and give a speech on stage."
"That's right, we can't just focus on production, we must also promote corporate culture, prepare a few more special programs at that time, and strive to become a hit and cause a sensation in the East."
"There are a lot of programs, a million choruses, robot performances, drone performances, sketches 'drilling holes'..."
"Drill?"
"It is to tell people the working principle and process of the shield machine. It can be regarded as a popular science comedy show."
"Interesting, how about unlocking a few more secret technologies, such as the simulation cabin for training mechanical drivers, light energy rail guns, vertical lift system... With these things, it will definitely attract more viewers."
"Okay, it's just that Huaxia TV hopes that these programs are not limited to Channel 18, and Channel 1 can be allowed to broadcast live or rebroadcast."
"Think about it, they are not a system. Channel 18 is affiliated to the Youth League, and Channel 1 is affiliated to Huaxia TV. The leaders are different. They broadcast restricted content, and they have to be held accountable. I am doing it for their own good."
"You mean, let them sign a waiver?"
"No, it's live streaming or rebroadcasting fees, idiot."
"..."
"Last year's Spring Festival Gala advertising space, how much was charged per second, we will pay according to the length of the live broadcast or rebroadcast."
After Xu Fei finished speaking, he picked up the buzzing personal communicator and found that it was Erya.
"what's up?"
"Village chief, my mother gave birth to a younger sister for me."
"Good thing!"
"I asked me to call you and asked you to help me with a name."
"You have to find Huang Banblin for this matter."
"I've always said that only the village head has a face."
"Hey... girl?"
"Yes."
"Girl, you are blessed with a daughter, a daughter, a thousand jin... a thousand jin is equal to half a ton, so it is better to be called Xu Banton, which is full of meaning and profound meaning, but not ostentatious."
"Xu Banton?"
"How is it? My name is Xu Banton, and my nickname is Qianjin."
"I don't understand, I'll tell my uncle later."
Before the words finished, Erya hung up the phone.
Xu Fei stared at the screen, thinking about it, then looked at the secretary, "Xu Banton, it should be a good name, right?"
The latter nodded noncommittally, "Yes."
"Hey, look at your attitude, you must not know what a cheap name is to make a living."
"The question is, a girl named Ban Ton, are you not afraid that when someone grows up, they won't vote for you as the village chief?"
"When she grows up, it will be fifteen or sixteen years later. The ghost knows if there is still Xujiacun."
At this time, the clerk brought Raymond to the door of the office.
"Director, General Raymond is visiting."
"Private visit, or official visit?"
"private."
"Yo, Brother Lei, you're here, fast forward."
"..."
While talking, the two walked into the camellia room.
Raymond lit a cigar and sat in the armchair, "Xu, I have a large amount of production equipment in my hand, and I plan to sell it to you at a low price."
"Yes, as long as the price is right, you can order as much as you want."
In the past three years, Liu Sixi, the head of the township, has supported tens of thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises and self-employed businesses with the help of Daze Industrial Park.
Because the basic production line consumes too much electricity, the relevant manufacturing equipment is independently designed, produced and assembled by Daze Power and Daze Agricultural Machinery.
However, the basic production line manufactures mechanical parts and needs to input samples, that is, slotting, and slotting requires energy consumption.
In order to save energy, the types of manufacturing equipment introduced by itself are far lower than those of General Electric.
Now that the economy in North America is not good, they have begun to sell off manufacturing equipment with excess capacity. Buying it can also help them improve their product range and benefit exports.
In other words, the North American people are used to the way of using a certain product. In the past, their own products did not conform to their habits, and they would not buy them. Now that they can manufacture them, they will naturally buy them.
However, to use North American equipment, North American technology must be used.
"How to solve related technology authorization?"
Lei Meng took out the copy written by the staff after the phone call with Xiaobu, "This part of the product is exported to North America, and the technology authorization fee can be exempted."
"In this way, on a global scale, the 10-year license fee will be exempted, and I will help you solve economic problems, but the settlement will still be in gold."
"make a deal."
"So happy?"
"Xiaobu hopes to get a higher approval rating and win the mid-term election."
"I wish him success."
The two reached a verbal agreement, and the remaining matters were handed over to the staff of both parties.
Xu Fei asked Lei Meng to drink a glass of boiled water, got up and changed into warm clothes, "Let's go, I'll take you to see a big guy."
"Oh?"
"You'll know then."
The Himalayas are not only a sanctuary, but also the base of the aerospace industry in the East.
Here are the Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Engineering, the Hongqi Aeronautical Laboratory, and the German North Aerospace Laboratory.
Current ongoing projects include:
Space Elevator - Basic Item.
YF-23/Red 1 fighter wind tunnel test.
X space station assembly design.
Planetary Engine Simulation Engineering.
What Xu Fei showed Lei Meng was the X space station.
Its shape resembles Daze Industrial Park, like a disc with various modules spread over it, three circles inside and three circles outside, and the central axis is the control center of 'an arrow piercing the heart'.
Astronauts in the control center, if they intend to go to the F area of the outer circle, they do not need to walk around to rotate the module, and when the outer F area reaches the docking cabin, the astronauts can walk in.
In this way, if you want to expand the space station in the future, you don't need to change the "central axis" control center, and keep adding "circles containing module cabins" until the entire space station becomes a "column", and then build circles on the outer periphery...
"The final form should be a roll of toilet paper."
"When will it launch?" Raymond asked the most concerned question.
"Next year, the space elevator will enter the trial operation stage. We will send it up in batches, and complete the assembly with the help of intelligent robots, and then form an 'airport' to and from the moon."
"Tell me, how much will you be able to delay this project?"
"It's not about money, it's about whether humans can resist the invasion of microorganisms, Lao Lei, don't mention money to me in this matter, as humans, we must put the overall situation first!"
Lei Meng took out three magnetic cards from his pocket and stuffed them into someone's palm.
Someone rubbed gently, looking at Mount Everest in the distance, with deep eyes, "Don't worry, I will Boom the space elevator on the second day of trial operation."
"It's not necessary."
"Take money to do things, trust my reputation."
