Chapter 655: The Man Behind the Pot

When James Edison stepped off the plane, he was still quite ambitious. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In his or Mr. Bush's view, China's position in the international community is basically confined to its periphery, and it can barely be regarded as a regional power.

Even because of Japan and India next to it, even the status of regional powers is in jeopardy.

The position of the UN Security Council does not match China's strength. China has always had no say in Middle East affairs.

And for the United States, China's manipulation of the oil market during the Gulf War can even be said to be an offense.

"What I give you is yours, I don't give it to you, you can't rob it. ”

James Edison put down the satellite phone on the plane and suddenly said this to the attachΓ© next to him.

"That's a really good quote and I love it. ”

With that, he walked towards the door of the plane, which had been slowly opened, and then showed a professional smile.

……

Diplomacy is no trivial matter, and this sentence was still true in China in the 90s. When the U.S. warship circled the Chinese freighter to board the ship for inspection, it was indeed a big diplomatic event.

With the notice of the US side, screening was quickly carried out in China. In a short period of time, all cargo owners were summoned, and even the staff in charge of loading and unloading at the dock were controlled, and detailed inquiries were made. As Hu Wenhai expected, it was almost certain that there were no so-called chemical weapons raw materials on these three freighters.

After informing their superiors of the results, Hu Wenhai and Sun Bo could only wait anxiously for the results. In the face of the Americans' blackmail, how will China choose? Even Hu Wenhai was nervous in his heart.

To be honest, even if the above really flinched under pressure from the Americans, Hu Wenhai would be able to understand. There will be no major changes in the strategic environment in the 90s, and the national policy of the state to cultivate regret is correct.

If China misses the strategic opportunity period of the 90s because of his reasons, these hundreds of billions of dollars in profits will not be able to make up for it.

Just when Hu Wenhai and Sun Bo were staying at the Xiangshan Hotel, anxiously waiting for the results, President Zhu also came to the door.

President Zhu, who had just entered the door and didn't even have time to drink his saliva, completely ignored Sun Bo's existence and said to Hu Wenhai with his eyes open.

"The Americans have a plan, and inspecting the ship is the first step. The US State Department has just issued a statement that companies and individuals suspected of smuggling arms into Iraq will be controlled in accordance with domestic law. During the war, it is possible to control first, investigate later. ”

"The Americans are planning to be completely shameless, and in the first batch of investigation lists, there is Xinke Shipping, and Xinke Investment is also within the scope of joint and several control. ”

When Hu Wenhai heard President Zhu's words, he breathed a sigh of relief. It's like two people playing bridge, and from each other's bidding, the master can grasp a lot of information.

"It seems that the Americans do not want to tear their faces and engage in a direct confrontation with China just yet, which is beyond Bush's plan. Only for the new section, this is the wishful thinking of the Americans. ”

As soon as Hu Wenhai said this, President Zhu also reacted. Only sanctioning companies, without mentioning the countries behind them, is already a disguised submission to the United States.

The United States itself is in direct confrontation with China, and the sanctions imposed by one country on a company are two completely different concepts.

The former is a major earthquake in international diplomacy that will have an immeasurable impact on the Gulf War.

The latter has much less impact, and the later Chinese National Development and Reform Commission imposed a huge monopoly fine on Qualcomm and ZTE was reported for tax evasion in the United States, which are all major events in business, and it is also a confrontation between China and the United States in the industrial strategic layout.

However, the influence of these events is confined to the commercial sphere, and no matter how significant the significance and interests involved, they will not develop into a confrontation between the two governments, let alone the form of world politics.

If the Americans want to quickly suppress oil prices, and they must suppress them, it is impossible for them to fall out with China politically.

Don't forget that China, as one of the five hooligans, has a veto on UN resolutions. If China votes against it, the coalition forces will not be authorized to open fire -- although this does not affect the use of force by the United States, it is a huge loss of points diplomatically.

China's foreign policy is undergoing a reshuffle since its change of office two years ago. Repentance will be the main decision-making strategy for the next decade, but Americans don't know that.

China's large-scale expropriation of foreign exchange at home and the investment of hundreds of billions of dollars in the oil futures market look like "barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes". If such a big interest really tears its face, the US side should also worry that the crazy Chinese side will completely break the international rules and tacit understanding.

The Chinese government has not yet come to an end, but because of high oil prices, the Soviet Union has been frantically shipping oil in the spot market, making a profit of at least $150 million a day at the current price, and sometimes even $200 million.

If, as originally planned by Resolution 678, the belligerent authorization had been obtained in 1991, the Soviet Union would have won the war.

Therefore, China does not need to bear any moral condemnation, as long as it supports the original plan of Resolution 678, the achievements of the 50-year Cold War in the United States can be put to waste.

In the face of such a possibility, the United States, of course, does not dare to directly clash with China. Only for Xinke and not for the People's Bank of China's funds, the strategy of fragmentation and disintegration is still very likely to be successful.

This is actually good news for the governor of the bank, the United States only fights new branches and does not fight people, for the people's bank is nothing more than the difference between earning more and earning less. No matter how little, there is no problem with a profit of 100 billion.

However, as a company, no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to compete with the US government and the military. This is where the risk of making a big deal out of the small is there.

Hu Wenhai walked around the office in silence twice, suddenly stood still, was silent for a moment, and then said: "This time James Edison came to China, it will inevitably be compromised depending on the situation. If the United States is completely resented because of the Gulf War, it will lose more than it gains for China. If there is an opportunity, I suggest that the above can give up the interests of Xinke, as long as it can ensure the safety of the PBOC's funds and transactions. ”

This is good news for the People's Bank of China, James Edison's visit to China is unlikely to completely suppress China's interests, but it is also imperative to negotiate with the United States.

If the US wants to respect China's interests, it will inevitably compromise at the expense of some of its interests.

Now it's not just a confrontation between ST and Wall Street, the higher the price of oil, the higher the risk. As the People's Bank of China continues to invest in funds, and Hu Wenhai re-borrowed $12 billion from Grumman, this is another huge short position of nearly $60 billion.

With so much short pressure, the number of institutions and funds that are following the trend is also increasing rapidly. China's 100 billion US dollars of short orders, at least one or two times the allies in the market, the oil futures market has almost become a black hole of international funds, and global capital has even been illiquid during this period!

One can imagine how large the flow of funds has gathered in the oil futures market.

And the banner of these short capitals is Xinke.

Suppressing Xinke and killing a monkey to show the chickens is enough to clean up the capital that lacks strength and is not hard in the background.

The scale of the short order is huge, and there is also the factor of financial leverage, and the elimination of Xinke is enough to show the determination of the United States to maintain the high level of oil prices. Bears follow the trend capital or take the initiative to withdraw, or liquidate and wash away a wave.

In the process, it is enough for Wall Street to get rid of its bulls, and then join forces with China to harvest global capital.

It can be said that as long as the interests of Xinke are sacrificed, the current stalemate between China and the United States will be completely revived and transformed into a win-win situation.

Although he only figured out the relationship in an instant, President Zhu couldn't make up his mind.

It is too unfair to sacrifice the interests of Xinke to create such a favorable situation for the country!

Hu Wenhai saw that Governor Zhu was about to stop talking, so he simply said without waiting for him to speak: "But I also have some conditions, first of all, the personal safety of the crew of the three cargo ships of Xinke Shipping must be guaranteed, and there must be a fair result in the investigation of smuggling chemical weapons. ”

Zhu Governor and Sun Bo glanced at each other and nodded in unison: "There is no problem with this, the country will definitely go all out in this regard to give Xinke Shipping a clean slate." ”

"Well, I also believe that the state can do this. ”

Hu Wenhai nodded simply, back then, the Galaxy Ship country also gave the crew a clean slate under pressure, and now at this sensitive moment, it is even more impossible to let the Americans detain the basin on the head of Xinke Shipping.

"ST can withdraw from the oil futures market, but after the end of the Gulf War, the $8.1 billion in the previous order must be returned to ST Group, and the US side must declare that there is no illegal or irregularity in the transaction of ST Investment. ”

"Mr. Hu rest assured, the country must absolutely adhere to principles at this point!"

President Zhu said categorically: "The country will never ignore the loss of Xinke. Not only the principal of 8.1 billion, but the Americans will not compensate for the losses caused by the US sanctions, and our People's Bank of China will also make policy compensation to Xinke!"

What kind of spirit is Hu Wenhai? This is the spirit of taking the blame for the country, and the great man in the pot can be called the man who bears the blame!

"Ahem, I wish the governor this is not necessary. Hu Wenhai said with a smile: "As long as I can guarantee these two requirements, someone will naturally repay my debts for the country at that time." ”

Well, Mr. Hu has actually been fully prepared for a long time. In direct confrontation with Wall Street, even the reborn open life is inevitably terrifying.

With hundreds of billions of dollars in stake - or 100 billion in 1990, who knows what the financial capitalists will do when they go crazy. Isn't it handy to have a piece of paper insurance in case of emergency?

The left and right are to harvest Europe, and the financial and insurance industry is compared with the energy groups, which is like a dog with a thin skin and a large filling of eighteen folds......
