Chapter 415 Food and Currency

When Assaf saw this, he felt dissatisfied and immediately asked: "Why is this happening? You are discriminating!"

But the salesman didn't buy it at all. He took out today's newspaper with an impatient expression, threw it in front of Assaf, and took the opportunity to curse: "What are you talking about? The reason why the price of rice has risen so high is...

It’s not because you traitors sold all the rice to foreigners that the domestic rice shortage resulted! What qualifications do you have to object to the high price of rice!”

After hearing this, Assaf picked up the newspaper and quickly opened it. Sure enough, the headline on the front page of the newspaper was that President Sharif personally issued an announcement, informing the citizens that a new exchange rate between the island currency and the US dollar would be implemented soon, and also

The reasons for implementing this new monetary policy are explained in the article.

"In view of the fact that a certain consortium in country m has maliciously raised prices to purchase grain from the island country recently. Its intention is not to make our farmers make money, but to push our island country citizens to the end of the rope. Therefore, the island country government decided, and I signed

The document on the new exchange rate between the island nation’s currency and the U.S. dollar will be implemented today to combat the evil intentions of a certain consortium in country m.”

At the beginning, Sharif's words were concise and clear.

Assaf looked at the newspaper, his hands shook, and he almost missed the newspaper. He did not expect that the rice selling incident would have such a big impact. He was shocked and continued to read quickly.

"After the consortium of country M purchased the food from the island country, it did not use it for people's livelihood, but deliberately hoarded the food. They stored the food in warehouses or shipped it out of the island country. They used this trick to use the food as a source of income.

Weapons are used to threaten the governments of island countries and satisfy their selfish desires. They also show that if the governments of island countries do not give in, they will starve to death the citizens of our island countries.

Our government has taken measures to negotiate with the consortium, but because the island government was unwilling to exchange the interests of people's livelihood, the two sides were unable to reach a consensus in the end. The government also tried to prevent people from selling rice, and even warned the people to leave enough food.

For their own use. However, it is a pity that many short-sighted people have been deceived by the tricks of these consortiums and have sold their own grains at very high US dollars.

The occurrence of this situation has led to a serious decline in domestic grain reserves. Today, the island country's domestic grain reserves can only supply the country for two to three months. This means that in less than three months, in order to fill our stomachs, we

The government needs to spend more than ten times the price to import food from abroad!

To solve this dilemma, we must take effective measures to prevent this disaster from happening. The government is absolutely unwilling to take measures to increase citizens' taxes and fees to solve this problem, because this means that people's lives will be plunged into dire straits.

Therefore, in order to fight against the M-country consortium's wanton trampling on the island country and the kidnapping of the government by the island country's citizens, the island country decided to implement an emergency currency tightening plan. From now on, a new exchange system will be implemented between the island country's currency and the US dollar.

In order to prevent the M-country consortium from repeating its old tricks by using other currencies, the government has decided that the exchange rate between the island country's currency and other currencies will remain unchanged for the time being, but it will remain in a wait-and-see state and retain the possibility of adjustment."

After reading the entire announcement, Assaf panicked. He said to himself in disbelief: "How is this possible? Aren't U.S. dollars one of the strongest currencies in the world? In fact, we can use U.S. dollars for foreign exchange.

Buy food abroad!"

Assaf couldn't help but feel calm. In order to earn U.S. dollars, he even used his own island country's currency to buy grain from other countries and then sold it to grain buyers in country M.

This time, his losses were very heavy.

At least, the wealth Asaf accumulated from selling food has shrunk by at least one-half, which is completely outweighing the gain.

The presidential palace of the island nation.

A master's degree in economics made a suggestion and said: "We can encourage the citizens to deposit the US dollars they earn in the bank, and our government will use US dollars to purchase food internationally."

"We have thought about this method for a long time. However, international food prices fluctuate. Coupled with the bad relations between South India and our country, food imports have stagnated. In addition, the Australian government has also implemented a food restriction policy against us.

So the situation is already very serious, and the import route is not feasible." Sharif said while thinking and shaking his head. +

"However, forcibly devaluing the U.S. dollar may arouse the dissatisfaction of the government of country m, which will bring the two countries into a head-on confrontation and will also be very detrimental to our island country." The staff worried.

"This series of combined punches by the M-country consortium is by no means that simple. If it had not been tacitly approved or even promoted by the M-country government behind the scenes, would the M-country consortium have made such a high-profile move? They are just a group with private interests.

, one never dares to rashly make a deal with a country

The family is openly confronting each other. So, if there is no driving force behind it, I don’t believe it anyway.” After being trained by the personal training center, Sharif is no longer an ordinary village chief who knows nothing.

He became a qualified president of the country who was good at strategizing.

"However, doing this will not be conducive to the development of our country's foreign trade. Even the development of tourism will inevitably be a great obstacle." Economic experts said.

Sharif looked at the economic expert strangely and asked: "Why do we develop tourism?"

"In order to develop the economy." The economic expert replied.

"What is the purpose of economic development?" Sharif continued to ask.

"Make the country rich and the people rich." Economic experts replied affirmatively.

"Then tell me, my people are already facing a situation of starvation and their stomachs are not full. Can I still take care of tourism? Do my people still care about this?" Sharif asked back.

road.

This sharp rhetorical question immediately left economic experts speechless and unable to respond.

Sharif looked at his economic experts and felt that what he said was a bit serious. He smiled and eased the atmosphere and said: "What you said makes sense. However, the monetary policy adopted this time is mainly aimed at

It’s just the U.S. dollar. Even if it has an impact, it’s just an exchange between the island country and country m. It’s not a big deal. In fact, when things get to this point, even if we don’t take measures to fight against it, country m won’t let go, so we can’t

If you stop looking forward and backward, you will sit back and wait for death."

The island country is indeed forced to implement such a policy. Otherwise, they will not be able to stop the people's crazily selling food. If all the private food is sold out and food prices soar, what awaits the island country government may be social unrest.

.This is extremely detrimental to the island country.

Of course, the reason why the Sharif government dares to take such tough countermeasures is because it has the support of food support provided by Du Le. Moreover, in terms of government finance, top technology companies also provide financial support.

At the same time, representatives of the two major financial groups of country m, the Rockefeller Group and the Douglas Group, were sitting in a reception room of the embassy of country m. They were drinking coffee and chatting.

"The island country's government is really tough, and they still refuse to give in." Wyden, the representative of the Rockefeller Foundation, said with a leisurely smile while picking up a cup of coffee.

"There is nothing to be afraid of for such a small country. Their government is implementing a monetary tightening policy at this time. It is just a dead chicken to make ends meet. If you don't look back until you reach the southern wall, there is no use in trying to support it. We will just wait and see what happens."

"The person who replied was Larry, the representative of the Douglas Consortium. He crossed his legs and responded with a smile as if he was confident.

"However, can this method really affect Top Technology? I have received inside information. Top Technology is conducting internal research. Although the content of their research is highly confidential, according to the information I have obtained, their research is related to the 'battle

'It's related to the intelligent system." Weeden said leisurely with a bit of confusion and regret.

"This shows that without oppression, top technology will not develop more technologies. Our strategy is not wrong," Larry said.

In fact, both Wieden and Larry know that this economic battle is not only a battle in which the m-country consortium attempts to carve up the island country's economy and force the top technology to surrender, but also a battle to determine whether they can rise again.

In the last negotiation, the actions of Wieden and Larry caused the two consortiums to suffer great loss of profits. Although they were lucky enough to not be withdrawn in the end, their status in the consortium has dropped a lot. This even

As a result, they became the talking points of insiders.

Otherwise, the ambassador of Country M's embassy would not have left them alone for an hour without seeing them. Therefore, the two of them have been looking for opportunities to deal with the island country and top technology in order to restore their reputation and status.

Not long after, a counselor from the embassy finally came over and said to Wieden and Larry: "The embassy has an urgent meeting. The ambassador doesn't have time to see you. Please go back."

Wyden suddenly became angry, stood up and cursed: "Why doesn't the ambassador see us? Could it be that he is not the ambassador of country m, or we are not citizens of country m!"

Although Larry didn't get angry, he was very angry in his heart and his face was very ugly. He said coldly: "What kind of meeting does the ambassador have to hold? It's so urgent that we can't even see each other. Is it more important than what we have with you?"

An island nation’s economic war?”

The counselor of the embassy of country m only needs to be responsible for the embassy. He looked confident and domineering towards the two people, but he was not moved at all. He still maintained a polite but cold face and asked the two to leave as soon as possible. In fact, at this time

The embassy does have an important meeting taking place and cannot be disturbed. I am not deliberately making excuses to perfuse them.

Therefore, the counselor who was responsible for delivering the message turned around and left without saying anything more, leaving Wieden and Larry behind.

Wieden and Larry looked at each other in confusion as the counselor left. They couldn't figure out what happened. The embassy staff ignored them so much.

This made both Verdon and Larry feel panicked and completely devoid of confidence.

The purpose of their visit to the embassy was to ask the embassy to come forward and, on behalf of country m, lodge a serious protest against the island country's government's monetary policy, in order to combat the island country's government's move to adjust the currency exchange rate.

The island country's policy of adjusting currency exchange is actually an administrative method, not a market method. The global economy has always been developed on the basis of free market regulation, not to mention that the current situation has directly damaged country m's

interests, so they have reason to believe that the government of country m will not allow such government intervention by the island country to disrupt the order of the international currency market.

However, Wieden and Larry failed to realize a very important point.

That is, the monetary policy of island countries does not have a great impact on the international community.

Moreover, because the island country is small, the countries affected are not large, and it is not even enough to affect the status of the US dollar in the currency markets of Southeast Asian countries.

Anyone can see that the goal of the island country's monetary policy is actually very clear. That is to fight against the M-country consortium and curb them from making trouble in the island country's domestic food market.

The import and export trade volume between country m and the island country is almost non-existent.

If the US dollar depreciates, tourists from country M may not travel to island countries.

Therefore, in the eyes of the government of country m, this actually only belongs to the internal affairs of the island, and they do not need to intervene in a big way for the sake of two large consortiums.

Of course, there is another secondary reason, which is that country m is now in big trouble.

Seeing the embassy counselor leave, Wieden and Larry looked at each other. They lowered their heads and began to think about how they should face the resistance of the island government next.

Wieden and Larry did not realize this because they only focused on interests and were short-sighted.

"How much money do you have left?" Wyden asked.

"I still have $300 million," Larry replied.

"Well, I still have more than 200 million, and the funds are enough. As I see it, let's just cooperate on our own and continue to collect grain. We don't have to rely on others. It depends on others. This time, we are going to do something big, not just for rice.

The market, as long as it's food. Let's raise them all, what do you think?" Wieden suggested. Ambitious, he planned to speed up the pace and force the island government to submit as soon as possible.

Of course, Wieden also hopes that other international speculators can join this battle. After all, it is still difficult for the two consortiums to deal with the island government supported by top technology.

"Okay, but what about the embassy?" Larry showed some scruples. Of course he didn't want to offend the embassy. In addition, he always felt that if the embassy could come forward, not only would they not be so difficult, maybe they would be able to do so in the future.

When the conflict between the two sides intensifies, their consortium can have the embassy as a backing, and can hide behind it and only make profits without being harmed, without having to bear the brunt.

"As long as the government of the island country can bow its head, the bureaucrats in the embassy will definitely help us solve the remaining problems. The government always has deeper intentions, but these cunning and cunning people probably want to take advantage of the fishermen." I saw the embassy today.

Posture. Larry felt a little more resentful towards the embassy.

After Wieden and Larry agreed on their next move, they no longer missed the coffee at the embassy and returned to their respective representative offices in the island country.

In fact, Larry and Wieden were just thinking in a small circle and only focused on their own interests. They did not know that the reason why the embassy of country m did not summon them was because the embassy of country m was indeed facing a formidable enemy at this time.

He said that their matter was just as trivial as an ox's hair.

Because the government of country m recently passed down precise intelligence information. The aircraft carrier Maverick, which belongs to country m's Pacific Fleet, has been sunk and the entire army has been wiped out.

The government of country m requires all institutions affiliated with country m in the Pacific Rim, including embassies everywhere, to be more vigilant and wait for further notice. At the same time, the intelligence bureau of country m will also be mobilized to search for people around the world.

Enemy clues.

The government of the island country and the government of country m have an intelligence cooperation relationship due to the signing of the New Energy Non-Proliferation Treaty. Therefore, the intelligence bureau of the island country has also received a request from the government of country m for assistance.

Pan Huan immediately passed the information to Du Le. After Du Le learned about it, he immediately felt that this was a breakthrough, and he thought about how to tell country m about the alien base.

The best channel is to use the exchange of information between national intelligence agencies.

Of course, Du Le would not let Pan Huan directly tell the government of Country M about his disguised alien outpost. Instead, he needed to guide him step by step and let the Intelligence Bureau of Country M slowly find this base. This was the best way.

Du Le found a way to deceive Country M, and his mood became joyful. He was not in a hurry, and asked Pan Huan to take the initiative to provide a little intelligence assistance to the Intelligence Bureau of Country M. For example, he revealed to the Intelligence Bureau of Country M that he would attack Country M.

The people in the army might be aliens. After Pan Huan received Du Le's instructions, he immediately followed them.

Shortly after Du Le returned from the Western restaurant, he teleported to a foreign land.

Good news came from the smart factory, that is, the production line for suspended cars has been successfully installed, and the trial production of the first suspended car was successful.

As floating cars slowly replaced manpower and became the main means of transporting resources in Han Dynasty, this meant that in a foreign land, a new industrial era was coming. This sense of accomplishment made Du Le increasingly happy.

At least, Du Le doesn't have to worry about Han's productivity, because this will greatly liberate people's hands, which means that the development of the other world will enter a high-speed stage.

In addition, it also benefits the island country, because it gives the island country another artifact that attracts the attention of the world.

Just for the production of suspension cars, due to limited production resources, we can only produce one car a day for the time being. Therefore, after the successful trial production, Du Le is not in a hurry to deliver. There is still a long time before the order deadline on Longteng's official website.

days.

After Du Le returned to Earth, he purchased a piece of land in the island country and built a closed processing factory. Then, Du Le hung a sign of Longteng Automobile Manufacturing Factory No. 2 at the door of the processing factory.

Du Le has his own considerations in placing the factory that nominally manufactures suspended cars in the island country. The main reason is that in the island country, Du Le has the absolute right to speak.

On the contrary, if he chooses to build his factory in China, Du Le cannot guarantee whether his factory will encounter trouble. After all, if he learns that he has such a particularly advanced technology, will the Chinese government intervene?

It's really hard to say.

This Longteng Second Factory was specially set up here by Du Le to distinguish it. Apart from its name being related to Longteng Company in China, there is no other interest relationship. Longteng Company has no control over Longteng Second Factory.

There is no affiliation, just a mutual cooperation relationship.

But this apparent processing factory is not without its uses.

Dule is preparing to recruit a group of car beauty workers to be responsible for beautifying suspended cars. According to the customer's requirements, a series of modifications will be made to the car's appearance and interior decoration, so that customers can beautify the car in a very comfortable way.

Drive the Longxiang hover car.

Du Le cannot let customers spend 20 million yuan just to get a car with suspension function. The follow-up of after-sales service also plays an important role in business growth.

Fortunately, there is no car manufacturing factory in the island country, but there is no shortage of car beauty workers. Soon, Du Le recruited suitable workers for his car processing factory.

Director Khufu of the M State Intelligence Agency was sitting in his office with a depressed look on his face. He had been overwhelmed by everything that had happened recently. Fortunately, the M Army also had an intelligence investigation section that could share this huge pressure with him.

For intelligence, Khufu had to ask for help from allies of country M. However, Khufu soon regretted it because many allies did not know about the attack on the Maverick.

Once the Intelligence Bureau of Country M issued an order to assist in the investigation, the main leaders of the intelligence agencies of various countries were stunned. Some people even joked with Khufu, when did the Intelligence Bureau of Country M ask for help from other countries. This made Khufu feel humiliated.

Of course, no country would dare to refuse the assistance of the Intelligence Agency of Country M in the investigation. However, the situation was so pressing that Khufu could only tolerate their gossip.

But despite this, the intelligence sent back by the intelligence agencies of various countries did not contain any information about the enemy's traces.

What made Khufu even more indignant was the information from the Island Country Intelligence Bureau. The Island Country Intelligence Bureau actually told the M Country Intelligence Bureau that according to the analysis of their intelligence analysts, the M Army was very likely to be attacked by aliens.

This made Khufu even more outrageous. Khufu's first reaction was that the island government was perfunctory.

Therefore, Khufu didn't even read the analysis report, and threw the information from the island country's intelligence agency into the trash can. ps: Thank you Yan Yunuo and Feng Liandiewu for the reward!
