Chen Xiao uses his own country's currency as settlement currency in places where there is trade. This is the need for the development of Changtian Technology.
In order to internationalize Xia's currency, the most important thing is that the country used has a surplus of Xia's currency.
As for the trade location, the best way is to sell resources (mineral resources, especially gold) to Changtian Technology to obtain a currency balance. Only in this way can it be exchanged for food from Changtian Technology.
South Africa already has very abundant mineral resources, and these resources are also needed by Xia's industry.
"This is a bit uncomfortable, after all, rice knives have been the world's settlement currency for many years, and everyone mainly holds rice knives.
Our country does not hold a lot of Xia Guo currency. If the foreign exchange reserves are inconvenient, it will in turn affect the settlement with your company. "
The principle is actually simple. As long as the South African rand continues to depreciate against the rice dollar, the rice dollar will become more and more valuable, and then more and more things can be bought in South Africa.
If Changtian Technology is large enough, it will even affect the monetary system of the entire South African authorities.
At present, rice knives are only circulated among the upper class in South Africa and are used to purchase imported goods. In fact, they have little impact on the monetary system. They only have a large impact on the economic structure. However, the upper class in South Africa do not need to consider the economic structure. The only way they maintain it is to exploit the people.
There is a saying that goes well. The greatest wealth of the rich is actually the poor. If there are enough poor people, they will never be poor.
"Don't worry too much about your country. The matter of currency settlement depends on the timing."
If you do more business with the United States, reserve more foreign currency. Now that you are doing business with Xia State Enterprises, you can be more prepared. You will not suffer a loss. "Chen Xiao knows that things have to be done step by step, start first, and then the South African authorities will have to follow their own pace.
At this point, Chen Xiao was no longer polite. The settlement currency was the bottom line that could not be compromised. He said: "I will not give in on this point. As for how to use the surplus RMB, I think you should have a way, just like when you obtained the surplus RMB reserve?"
Settlement in South African Rand?
damned!
The South African rand is highly pegged to the pound, and the currency is depreciating rapidly.
Maybe what you receive in the end is waste paper.
"But we have no way to get RMB. Xia Guo has a surplus with us. Where can we get RMB!" The head of the relevant department in South Africa was a bit rude. He was the head of the relevant department. Speaking like this to a private entrepreneur was quite kind. Wow, this Chen Xiao is too ignorant.
But what Chen Xiao said next made him completely dumbfounded.
"The reason why the rice knife has become an international currency is the credit behind the currency."
"There are nothing more than three ways for the United States to build national credibility. One is technology monopoly, allowing the whole world to pay for its technology, such as electronic products, mechanical equipment, and network communications. But Changtian Technology's technology has left them behind. If you have used our products, you have a say.
The second way is to dominate the world by disrupting the food market. If it has grain in its hands, it can control grain prices. It increases the unit price of a certain crop to induce other countries to plant it and then lowers the price. It can also directly purchase the existing grain of a certain country at a high price, eat up all the reserved grain, and then sell it back at a high price. However, with Changtian Technology’s energy blocks and synthetic meat, this plan cannot be successful!
The last way is energy. Mi Dao is linked to oil, natural gas and other energy sources, and force is used to ensure this. But what's the use? The cost of various types of energy blocks produced by Changtian Technology is already much lower than traditional energy sources. What's more! We have achieved controllable nuclear fusion technology that does not shut down! "
Experts in the South African physics community were so frightened that they jumped up. The assistant stumbled and said: "No shutdown? How is this possible? The temperature is hundreds of millions of degrees!"
"Sir, you still know some of the operating methods and principles of nuclear fusion." Chen Xiao said so much in one breath, but now he was not in a hurry and left time for the scholar.
After looking at the information handed over by Changtian Technology in detail, this physics expert from the University of Cape Town in South Africa could only describe it in the simplest words: "This technology will make oil countries beg for food!"
The expression of the person in charge of the relevant departments in South Africa finally changed at this time. Breaking the energy monopoly is the real cornerstone of Mi Dao. The value of Mi Dao is reflected in oil.
"Ahem. We still need time to discuss it."
Three days later, the second round of negotiations began. The head of the relevant department in South Africa looked unhappy. Even a black man had dark circles under his eyes, which showed how hard he had worked in the past few days. It seemed that an earthquake had occurred in the upper echelons.
"We have agreed on the settlement of currency. However, for the sake of the currency system, it is currently used in the Horston area and will not be opened outside this area for the time being. The port matters are also up to you, but we have conditions, that is, we must collect taxes, and the proportion It is 11%. We have to collect this money to enrich our finances. Anyway, it will eventually be returned to Changtian Technology through various constructions, and the people will also benefit." The person in charge of the relevant departments in South Africa did not give up. He wanted to take more on behalf of the upper management. s things.
Chen Xiao refused: "Changtian Technology will not pay taxes, even if it is one percentage point." He refused so decisively that the heads of relevant departments in South Africa were stunned.
Then, Chen Xiao explained the reason: "Changtian Technology will build the western coast of South Africa into the world's largest energy and food factory besides Xia Kingdom in the short term. Think about how much investment this can attract. Through our production, The employment problem of ordinary people will be solved, and the problem of hunger will no longer exist. These benefits are greater than direct taxation.
Moreover, after taxes are collected, there are too many intermediate links, and staff salaries are also a huge expense. It is not certain how much money will be left in the South African treasury, don’t you think? "
The person in charge of the relevant departments in South Africa knew that Chen Xiao was saying that the people here were dirty and would steal money, but they didn't say that and it was hard for him to get angry.
And he himself knows that South Africa’s tax system is a mess!
"Besides, Changtian Technology can complete all the construction alone."
We can build roads, generate electricity by ourselves, build networks by ourselves, and we can use desalination technology to supply fresh water in the future. We don’t need these basic supporting facilities. "Having said this, Chen Xiao looked directly into the eyes of the person in charge of the relevant department, his eyes full of sincerity.
"Don't you want to restore South Africa to its past glory or even to a higher level? South Africa has the best ports and waters in Africa. It used to be the only developed country in Africa. South Africa can completely surpass Egypt, Nigeria, Become a veritable star of Africa.
For people of your status, money and status are fleeting. Let the sleeping South Africa wake up. This matter will be deeply rooted in the bones of every generation of South Africans! "
Chen Xiao means to leave his name in history.
The person in charge of the relevant departments in South Africa is not a fool. He calculated that this matter could bring real wealth and fame, and this time he was really moved.
A few days later, the third round of negotiations began. This time the negotiations went smoothly, and South Africa fully agreed to Chen Xiao's request.
An important point in the agreement between the two parties is that Changtian Technology will meet the food needs of all South African people within three years (sold to South Africa at a low price of 7 cents to 1 cent RMB per kilogram). In return, South Africa will provide ports and The land is given to Changtian Technology, and Changtian Technology will export grain to the world.
Chen Xiao agreed without hesitation. This was his original plan, but he also had a request, which was to let Deckert enter the relevant departments of the South African authorities and be fully responsible for the cooperation with Changtian Technology.
The parliament did not dare to offend Chen Xiao this time and quickly passed the resolution. Some people really don't want to give up this lucrative job, but then they think about it and no one else is suitable, so they have to give up.
The South African Department of Information immediately announced the great news through television, radio, newspapers, radio, the Internet and other means.
The South African people all cheered and everyone took to the streets again to sing and dance.
Because for most South Africans, it doesn't matter which company invests in South Africa. The most important thing is that Changtian Technology invests here. They will have jobs, employment and endless food.
The people who support Changtian Technology the most are the people at the bottom of South Africa, especially the white people in the slums.
Changtian Technology distributes free food to them. The quantity and quality of the food are much higher than those distributed by the West, led by the United States.
So they hope that Changtian Technology will continue to invest in South Africa.
They suddenly discovered that since the arrival of Changtian Technology, they took to the streets to celebrate much more frequently. As long as it was about Changtian Technology, it was a good thing that was good for them.
Wang Xiang held a meeting here to plan the production plan. Now the 100-square-meter factory can only produce one ton of energy blocks a day, which is too little. What he wants is to export 50 million tons within a year, and he needs to produce 137,000 tons of energy blocks every day. That would require a factory of 137,000 square meters.
The factory building area is not large and can be completed quickly.
Not to mention, the export volume will reach 100 million tons in three years, knocking the United States away, and the amount supplied to the South African people is not worth mentioning.
Changtian Technology's press conference was also held to announce the energy block export plan. The press conference revealed more details.
. In terms of food aid, the price for South Africa and the United Nations Food Program is 7 cents to 10 cents. The export price is fixed at the US grain export price, which is 40% of the US grain export price, but it cannot be lower than the aid. The price is not higher than the global average export price of grain.
This news made people all over the world exclaim that Changtian Technology was going to destroy the American food system in an honest and fair manner, and the netizens of Xia State were instantly excited.
"This is so awesome! I like it! He actually went after Mi Guo, it's so awesome!"
"Changtian Technology is mighty!"
The people in poor countries are extremely happy. Some countries have not yet started building Changtian Technology's energy block factories. With such a low price, they don't have to worry about starvation.
As soon as the news came out, the prices of various grain futures on Wall Street plummeted. Grain prices have risen year after year. This is due to the great changes in the global environment and war. But the bigger reason is that Wall Street financial giants manipulate grain prices. Even if they have a lot of grain It will also be hoarded, slowly consuming those countries that resist, and then sold.
They don't care if they starve to death or kill people, they only care about how much profit they can get. This time Changtian Technology has overturned their dining tables and they are going to starve to death.
With a loud sound of "Bang!", Hornile, the boss of Leatherman Financial Company in the United States, shot and ended his life.
"Crash!" There was another loud noise, and Jenny Marshal, the president of Houston Securities Company in the United States, jumped from the top of the Empire State Building and fell into a pulp.
A lot of the money in the hands of these people was given by invisible asset groups. They are just spokespersons on the surface. Although their status is already out of reach, they still cannot afford the consequences of not getting the money back, so they can only commit suicide to save the lives of their families. .
Countless hot money, small and medium-sized investors have also failed in their investments, and many people have taken their own lives. The rooftop of the Empire State Building is almost full of people. Many of them were speculators who sought bank loans and gambled all their assets. Now they are all gone. What else is there to live for?
The food policies of many countries around the world have changed instantly. They are all poor countries subject to the US food system and use domestic resources or other valuable things in exchange for US food.
This time, they can finally get rid of the shackles of American food.
These countries all turned to the United States for refunds and returns, and turned to Changtian Technology to buy food. Some countries have accelerated the pace of cooperation with Changtian Technology. When the third world approached Changtian Technology to cooperate in building factories, they had already wavered. They were just afraid of America's ambitions and that Changtian Technology could not meet the needs of their own countries.
Now they have calculated their food output and the food in stock, and decided to take the first step. As long as they build a factory, the energy block has extremely high calories, and people should not starve to death. Not to mention it can be imported.
When these countries come to Changtian Technology to buy food, they are naturally required to use RMB as the settlement currency. If they don't have money, they use resources, just like in the past.
The South African authorities are now glad that they fully agreed to Changtian Technology's request. Changtian Technology may not be in South Africa, but South Africa cannot live without Changtian Technology.
It has only been a few days since the news of the cooperation was announced, and the funds invested in South Africa have already exceeded the total of the past ten years. This shows that capital is optimistic about the development of South Africa, and all of this is provided by Changtian Technology.
Some people laugh and some cry. The ones who cry the most sadly may not be the lower class in the United States, but the upper class, the capitalist families hiding behind them. Those are the real world-class bosses.
They are in dire straits right now. They have lost their food security, and what is even more frightening is that they will soon lose their energy security. They have obviously learned about the permanent start of controlled nuclear fusion, and they want to blow up South Africa. Nuclear laboratory, but Changtian Technology's security is not strict. Besides, if they have the technology, are they afraid that they won't be able to build more?
