Chapter 1081 Chain reaction

Iran stops exporting crude oil!

Taking this incident as a symbol, the second oil crisis finally revealed its ferocious face.

At this time, Soros also entered the market with Catherine's $30 billion.

When Pahlavi stepped down, Iran stopped exporting oil for 60 days, leaving the oil market with a daily shortage of 5 million barrels of oil, accounting for about 1/10 of the world's total consumption, resulting in turbulent oil prices and tight supply. Crude oil supply in the world oil market

The sudden decrease caused a rush to buy crude oil, and oil prices rose sharply.

At this time, Catherine made a steady profit.

But it's not over yet.

Because the war is still there.

So when Khomeini came to power, he did not resume oil exports, but began to prepare for war.

On May 8, Iraq sent its air force to begin bombing Iran. The Iranian army immediately organized and cooperated with mercenaries to resist Iraq.

But this situation doesn't seem good.

Thousands of mercenaries all left Iran one after another - the miserable appearance of the Red Army, and Khomeini who was completely indifferent to the Red Army and did not even comfort them, obviously made them lose confidence.

Perhaps these mercenaries are not very adapted to large-scale wars, but their rich experience is an absolutely valuable asset. On the battlefield, such experience is the basis for their survival.

So after these mercenaries left, the Iranian army immediately seemed to have lost its inner clothes and became a little weak.

Fortunately, at this time, the artillery designed by Bull began to be produced.

These artillery pieces were designed by Bull during his wasted years. When he met Iran, he slightly changed his research, and thus came up with the current goal.

The Iran-Iraq War has completely broken out, and the oil production of the two countries has completely stopped. World oil production has been completely affected, and production has dropped sharply. There is a gap of 5.6 million barrels in the global market every day, breaking the fragile relationship between supply and demand in the global crude oil market.

.Balance supply is once again tight, causing oil prices to rise again.

The matter was not over yet. At this time, another split occurred within OPEC.

Most member states advocated following the market trend and raising oil prices. Saudi Arabia advocated freezing oil prices, or even significantly increasing production on its own to lower prices. As a result, the two sides got into trouble and OPEC lost its ability to regulate the market.

Immediately afterwards, major exporting countries took turns raising official prices, adding fuel to the fire.

But at this time, Catherine was smiling happily.

In just one month, Catherine's assets of 30 billion had already made a profit of 5 billion.

At this time, the Soviet Union seemed to be taking advantage of this trend to rise.

——Even in history, the 1970s and 1980s were a period of great development for the Soviet oil industry, with Soviet oil production reaching its peak.

As a series of large oil fields in Western Siberia were put into development one after another, the Soviet Union's oil production continued to rise. Only one oil field, Samotrol, produced 110 million tons of oil in 1976! The Soviet Union's oil production reached 496 million tons in 1975, surpassing the United States.

Become the world's largest oil producer.

Last year, in 1976, the Soviet Union’s oil production exceeded 500 million tons!

After discovering that oil prices had risen sharply, the entire team led by Andropov immediately began to take action.

In the past few months, there was no sound from the upper echelons of the Soviet Union. But at this time, when the Soviet Union returned to people's sight, the Soviet Union had just completed another round of purges, and this round of purges brought

The result was Andropov's complete takeover of power.

At this point, the development of the world situation has completely deviated from the trajectory of the previous life.

After discovering this, Catherine had no worries.

Even with the subsequent Plaza Accord between the United States and Japan, Catherine felt that it might not happen.

Under Andropov's leadership, the Soviet Union is now developing prosperously.

But at this time, the federal government suddenly found Catherine.

No, I don’t mean to find Catherine, but to find Golden Dragon Energy Company.

As oil prices rise, the federal government realizes that oil has become a very big problem. They need new energy sources.

Huh? Since there are people offering money, why not?

After Catherine discovered that the federal government suddenly became so easy to talk to, she simply accepted it.

The chain reaction is not over yet.

Although the economic situation in various countries has improved with the financial bill, in the United States, something seems to be wrong.

——The U.S. dollar has gradually experienced a series of crises over time.

Affected by rising oil prices and sluggish economic growth, the United States' foreign trade has slipped from surplus to deficit, and the U.S. dollar's exchange rate against major currencies has fallen sharply by as much as 16%. The weakness of the U.S. dollar has caused import prices to rise sharply, and the inflation rate has suddenly dropped.

It jumped from the original 6% to more than 8%!

Affected by this, many people looked at the model of Catherine and others building factories abroad, followed suit, and began to relocate factories from China.

In this way, they can directly enjoy a series of preferential measures and a series of policy support from abroad.

But in this way, the United States has unconsciously begun to complete their journey of deindustrialization.

As the U.S. dollar weakened, the U.S. dollar encountered a crisis within a few months of Reagan's "taking office"...

But at this time, Reagan began to act decisively.

With the outbreak of the oil crisis and the dollar crisis, Reagan announced that he would adopt a series of "new economic policies."

The failure of Keynes's demand theory in the 1970s led Reagan to decide to adopt his new policy of conservative ideas.

The economic policy of tax cuts under the "supply school" is in line with Reagan's values ​​and philosophy of low taxation.

Reagan's greatness lies in his ability to convey complex economic theories to the American public in very popular terms and emotionally, that is, to reduce taxes, stimulate the economy, create jobs, and through the increase of economy and wealth, low tax rates can be achieved.

Under the premise of increasing national tax revenue and increasing public wealth at the same time, most people in the United States accepted the "Reaganomics" of tax cuts because the voters who supported Reagan recognized Reagan's economic policies conceptually and intuitively.

Although the crisis broke out quickly, due to Reagan's reassurance, the American public's originally uneasy mind gradually stabilized.

Soon, Reagan introduced a series of policies:

(1) Reduce fiscal expenditures (excluding military expenditures), especially social welfare expenditures, reduce fiscal deficits, and achieve a balanced budget by 1980.

(2) Large-scale tax cuts, implementing an accelerated cost recovery system for enterprises, and providing tax incentives to enterprises.

(3) Relax government restrictions on enterprise rules and regulations and reduce state intervention in enterprises.

(4) Strictly control the growth of money supply and implement stable monetary policy to curb inflation.

Of course, these are external.

On the internal front, Catherine has already felt that Reagan is a good person - the purchase volume of Pip-Boy has doubled!

Reagan began to massively expand the U.S. military, replace equipment with the U.S. military, and increase government spending.

Although cuts began in other areas, in terms of military spending, Reagan more than tripled the reduction!

It is foreseeable that tax cuts and military spending increases simultaneously, resulting in fiscal over-allocation and overburdened financial resources, thus leading to new difficulties and imbalances in the U.S. economy.

Although Reagan ostensibly opposed intervention, he actually did not give up intervention.

"Roosevelt led the United States out of the depression with the 'New Deal'. Can Reagan also lead the Americans out of the stagflation crisis and win the Cold War with the groundbreaking 'Reaganomics'? This may be the second revolution in the history of American economic development...

"

At this time, the Angel News Channel recently began to unscrupulously praise Reagan.

If you have breasts, you are a mother...

Ford has sadly died. At this time, it's not a big deal to brag about Reagan.

No matter how you say it, don’t all presidents of the United States work for capitalists?

"Inflation in the United States rose from less than 2% in the early 1960s to 12% in 1976. A dollar in 1960 was worth only 36 cents in 1981, which caused a sharp decline in personal savings rates. Although wages rose in step with inflation

, but the United States’ practice of taxing nominal income rather than real purchasing power will also lead to rising wages.

People are pushed into higher tax brackets, and inflation and increases in marginal tax rates hit people's living standards hard. This makes social distribution severely unequal, especially those young people who are stuck with old people living on fixed incomes. This environment

It has also affected the market's investment expectations, and workers have begun to slack off. Companies are also unwilling to conduct research and development, and the unemployment rate is bound to rise..."

Reagan's story is still being reported in the news.

At this time, Catherine temporarily broke away from the oil market.

As a new energy company, Jinlong Energy was also favored by the federal government at this time. While Catherine was watching the news, she was looking at the information prepared below.

"Kate, this is the information you need."

At this moment, Elsa came over with a stack of information.

"Okay, make a copy of it and give it to the federal government when the time comes."

It is most efficient to speak with data. Catherine has prepared a series of "data" that will fully illustrate the benefits of new energy.

"Well, although I have made a lot of US dollars, these 30 billion will be worthless in a few years, right?"

Catherine thought of the oil crisis and the dollar crisis, but shook her head.

Unless there is a super-sovereign currency, the current US dollar settlement will still have problems after all.

Maybe... one day, I can have enough influence without the need for currency?

Catherine looked at the report on the TV and thought about it for a moment.

However, it is unlikely. No matter what Catherine does, there is no support for money, it is not possible ...

Now there are crisis everywhere, danger and opportunities coexist, Catherine has no intention of thinking about this.

It's time to make money ...
