Regarding Iran's affairs, Sisai is already powerless to complain.

His predecessor, George W. Bush, made Iran his next target after launching the Iraq war. In order to curb Iran's development, the United States has launched trade sanctions against Iran on the grounds that Iran is suspected of developing nuclear weapons, one of the most important of which is to restrict countries from exporting refined oil products to Iran.

It's also funny to say that Iran, a big oil country, has a pitifully weak refining capacity. For a long time, Iran has been exporting crude oil abroad and then importing refined oil products to meet domestic needs. After the launch of the U.S. trade sanctions, Iran really fell into a predicament, and the annual limited import quota of refined oil products was not enough at all, and for a time, the price of domestic refined oil products skyrocketed, and smuggling became increasingly rampant, which had a serious impact on the national economy.

However, all of that suddenly changed at the end of last year. After three large oil refineries were put into operation one after another, Iran went from a net importer of refined oil products to a net exporter overnight, and a large amount of foreign exchange used to import refined oil products was also saved, and the economy showed a clear upward momentum.

The reason for this change is the three sets of oil refining equipment from China. The Americans, together with the Europeans and the Japanese, imposed an embargo on Iran, and as a result, the opportunity was lost to China. Three sets of oil refining equipment, the ordinary price in the international market is less than 1 billion US dollars, Iran wants to spend 2 billion to buy can't buy, and finally the Chinese fulfilled Iran's oil refining dream with a "low price" of 1.5 billion US dollars.

The United States really has no way to deal with China's approach. The United States has tried to pass a trade embargo resolution on Iran at the United Nations, but it cannot bypass China, a permanent member of the Security Council. As soon as China casts a veto, all the efforts of the United States will be wasted.

After Sisai came to power, he followed his predecessor's policy of sanctions against Iran, but what he saw was that China and Iran were eye-to-eye, communicating with each other, and having fun. With China's global workshop as its backing, no trade sanctions will be effective against Iran. The only effect is to block the path of America's own enterprises and push Iran completely into the arms of China.

Ford reminded Sisay to pay attention to Iran, in fact, in the hope that he could change his thinking and stop engaging in such futile sanctions, and many American companies are looking forward to making some money in Iran.

"Ford, sanctions against Iran must not be lifted." "American values dictate that we cannot compromise with a country like Iran, and we cannot forget our responsibilities for the sake of immediate interests," Cisay told Ford. ”

Phew! Ford cursed inwardly. The old boss of the empire. Now that I owe a lot of debt, what values do you still talk about? In order to maintain the face of the world's policeman, the United States has done too many thankless things. And the rest of the country is making a fortune in silence. To assume responsibility, it is necessary to have strength as a guarantee, and the United States can now brag about it in addition to its military strength. Is there anything else you can get your hands on?

"Mr. President, I believe that it makes no sense to continue to maintain sanctions against Iran at this time. Iran can get what other countries need, and by doing so, we are just keeping our own businesses out of Iran's door, which is very detrimental to reviving the American economy. Ford persuaded.

Sisai said angrily: "I know, the other countries you are talking about are referring to China, right?" Quite a few words now China lacks oil. Iran, on the other hand, is rich in oil, so China uses all kinds of industrial products that Iran needs to exchange oil with Iran. I have always believed that allowing China to have developed industrial capacity is the biggest mistake the United States has made. ”

As soon as these words came out, the staff in the office lowered their heads one by one, looking at their noses and their noses. Pretend you didn't hear anything. Who doesn't know that Sisai also called for the lifting of trade restrictions on China back then, saying that China is a good trading partner of the United States. It can really be said that this time and that time, as soon as Sisay became president, the tone changed completely. …,

"Okay. Perhaps we do need a diverse world, and China's development has provided a vast market for our American businesses. This is something to be affirmed. Sisai also knew that he was outrageous, and hurriedly found himself to step down, "But, no matter what, the United States must take the lead in industry, and we must have the strongest industrial manufacturing capacity in the world at all times, otherwise it will ......"

Twin couldn't stand Sisay's empty words, and he said bluntly: "Mr. President, with all due respect, it is very difficult for the United States to compete with China for the dominance of world industry. According to our incomplete statistics, in the first three quarters of this year, China invested as much as $14 billion in clean energy industries, not counting the land that clean energy companies received from local governments for free or at low prices. And we have invested less than $5 billion in clean energy, and even if it does, a significant part of it has not been implemented. In the long run, we will be left behind by the Chinese. ”

"Mr. Tevin, can you tell me how far our clean energy industry has developed now, and can we maintain our absolute advantage over the Chinese?" Sissay asked.

"Absolute superiority?" Twen couldn't help but feel cold, he knew that the current American clean energy technology still has a slight advantage over China, but the Chinese are catching up at a speed visible to the naked eye, while American companies are faltering due to various constraints. He felt that what should be considered now is how long the United States can maintain its superiority, not the question of what absolute superiority it will be.

Although he thought so, Twin did not say it, and he suggested: "Mr. President, I think it would be better for you to take some time to go and see for yourself and understand the demands of those private enterprises." Maybe this will help you make the right decision...... I mean, make better decisions. ”

Sisai was, at least on the surface, a man of goodness, and although he was very conceited inside, he would still listen to some of the advice of his staff. At the end of October of that year, he traveled to Oregon in the western United States to inspect a small wind farm project called Asa Mountain, which was being built there.

"This is Mr. Christo, the investor of the Asayama Wind Farm." Twin introduces a small, dark-skinned old man to Sissai.

"Hello, Mr. Christo." Sisai half-bent over, shook Christo's hand, and said with a smile on his face.

"I'm in a very bad place right now, Mr. President." Christo also looks like a piece of hob meat, and he doesn't have any indication about Sisai's pro-people show, and his mouth is a complaint.

"Do you have any difficulties? Say it, and I think I'll do my best to help you out. Isn't the purpose of his trip to help these clean energy companies solve their problems? If the other party is not in difficulty, how can he show his value as a great president?

Christo pointed to a large wilderness behind him with his hand and said, "Mr. President, you see, this is the land I bought for the construction of the wind farm, but so far, have you seen a wind turbine?" ”

Nonsense, whether there is a fan or not, Christo, as an investor, is not the most clear. Sisai looked around, and sure enough, he didn't see a single wind turbine, so he said with concern: "Mr. Christo, I haven't seen any wind turbines, hasn't your project started so far?" ”。

"I don't have the funds anymore." "All my money went to buy the land." The government promised to provide me with a concessional loan, but so far, I have not seen a penny of the loan. If I didn't get these loans, I wouldn't have been able to build this wind farm, and the money I spent on buying the land would have been wasted. I remember when you campaigned on promises to provide the strongest support for clean energy projects, and so far my peers and I have not seen any substantial support. ”…,

"Mr. Twin, is the Asayama Wind Farm one of the 18 companies you mentioned applying for loans?" Sissay asked.

Twin nodded and said, "That's right, we have provided him with a loan guarantee half a year ago, but no bank has been willing to put money into it. ”

"How so?" Sissai muttered that he had been a little skeptical when he had heard Twin tell him about it, but now that he saw Christo's dejected face, he had to believe it.

Christo said, "Mr. President, since you are here in person, I think you should be able to solve my problem, right?" I don't need much investment, 20 million to 30 million dollars is enough, and I'm just going to build a small 40 megawatt wind farm. This money should be very easy for the U.S. government to raise, right? Quite a few words"

"Yes, I think the money should be easy to raise." Sisey replied awkwardly, but he knew very well that although he was a president, he was not able to raise the money for Christo.

"Mr. Christo, I hope you don't give up, the development of clean energy is the unswerving direction of the United States. When I get back to Washington, I'll try to convince bankers to provide you and other wind operators with financial support, and you'll have to think of a lot more for yourself. I think there will always be a way. Sisai said emptyly.

A mocking smile appeared on Christo's face, he had heard enough of such statesman's promises.

"Alright then, Mr. President, I wish you a pleasant journey." Christo said lightly to Sissai.

The convoy in which Sisai and the others were riding left in a majestic manner, and Christo looked at the dust that was gradually moving away, shrugged his shoulders, and expressed his disappointment with Sisai and the others. At this time, a clear female voice sounded behind him: "Mr. Christo, now you should believe it, the US government cannot provide you with more support, I think, cooperation with us is your best choice." ”
