Iraq wants the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to reduce oil production, raise oil prices, and pay off its debts when it makes a profit.

Kuwait, however, had increased its production and caused a drop in oil prices, hoping to force Iraq to settle their border dispute.

Iraq accuses Kuwait of taking advantage of the Iran-Iraq war to build military bases in Iraq — Iraq has stated that it has contributed to the Iran-Iraq war as a buffer between other Arab countries and Iran, and that Kuwait and Saudi Arabia should therefore forgive Iraq's war loans.

In addition, for reasons of strategic security, Iraq also hopes to occupy and annex Kuwait through the current international turmoil.

The Gulf War is on the verge of breaking out......

At this time, George W. Bush called Xu Cun, "Ah Cun, my father wants to see you, and I hope you can come to the White House as soon as possible." ”

As for the phone call from Bush Jr., Xu Cun actually expected it a long time ago.

As for Bush Sr.'s purpose of finding himself, Xu Cun actually knows it well.

So what is the purpose of Bush Sr. looking for Xu Cun?

What other purpose can there be, it's nothing more than to borrow money from Xu Cun, huh...... To be more precise, it should be to let Xu Cun pay for the war bonds issued by the United States, that is, let Xu Cun buy the US Treasury bonds to help the United States share part of the military expenses of this military trip.

Some people may ask, why did Xu Cun buy US treasury bonds to help the United States share part of the military expenses for this military trip? Is it because the money is too much?

The answer is -- of course not, Bush Sr. and the United States definitely have a reason to borrow military spending from Xu Cun, and Xu Cun definitely has a reason to buy US Treasury bonds!

One of the reasons for the outbreak of the Gulf War was oil.

After years of deployment and development, Xu Cun has become one of the princes of the global oil market.

So, how could the Gulf War have nothing to do with Xu Cun?

Now the oil market has become more and more mature, and who is qualified to enter this market, the United States will have the largest part of the right to speak in the next few decades, not to mention that Xu Cun's main oil base Canada is still surrounded by the United States, so in terms of oil, Xu Cun and the United States are indisputable allies.

Therefore, the United States is at war because of oil, how can Xu Cun stay out of it?

In addition, Xu Cun has made hundreds of billions of dollars from the United States over the years, and he should spit out some of it, otherwise the United States will have to drive Xu Cun out of the American market.

Don't doubt this, in the last life, China held more than $1 trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds, do you really think that China is burning so much money that it lends money to the United States for nothing?

Of course, this cannot be the case -- the United States is the world's largest consumer market, and without one, China's purchase of US Treasury bonds is actually an entry ticket to the world's largest consumer market, and if China does not buy US Treasury bonds, it is impossible for the United States to let China enter the American market to make money, and it is even impossible for China to enter the markets of its allies in the United States to make money.

In addition, holding U.S. Treasury bonds is also equivalent to holding a heavy weapon of financial warfare - let's take China as an example: if China and the United States start a financial war, then China only needs to release China's holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds, and the U.S. economy will inevitably be hit hard, even if there is a possibility of another financial crisis or even a financial turmoil in the United States!

At present, Xu Cun has at least one-third of his business in the U.S. market, so he can't do without the U.S., the world's largest consumer market.

In addition, in order to add a layer of protection to his huge business in the United States, Xu Cun is also willing to master the US Treasury bonds, a heavy financial weapon that can make the United States fearful.

Plus, the relationship of oil allies.

The day after George W. Bush called, Xu Cun handed over "Jurassic Park" to Spielberg and Cameron, and then flew to the United States with a large group of his women......
