Chapter 0856 - Ants Move Elephants
"Ladies and gentlemen, this trade war between China and the United States is an economic war between the two first and second economies today. No matter how you look at it, the United States is in a strong position, China is in a weak position, the United States is active, China is passive, as if our side is at a disadvantage. ”
"So is that really the case? No, absolutely not. As I said a long time ago, we are not as good as the United States in terms of economy, science and technology, and military, and we are all in a position of catching up, and we will not be able to catch up with the United States in twenty or thirty years. But, but, yes, those who are worried about winning this trade counterattack have forgotten the weakness of the United States. ”
"The weakness of the United States is precisely the strength of the United States, that is, the dominance of the dollar in the international market, and I dare say that the international status of the dollar is precisely the Achilles heel of the United States. Please note that economic wars, especially trade wars, have nothing to do with science and technology, and have nothing to do with the military. ”
"Economic wars, especially trade wars, are naked wars, and the reason why they are naked is the currency of the United States. It is said that the economy of the United States is strong, but where is its greatness? Where is the strength? It is the US dollar, about 70 percent of international trade, and it is priced in US dollars, and this is the advantage of the United States. ”
"Therefore, if you want to win this trade counterattack, in the short term, you will never back down, and in the long run, it will be de-dollarization. As far as Yunling City is concerned, it is necessary not to believe in evil, not only to take the lead in shouting the slogan of dollarization, but also to abandon the dollar with practical actions. ”
"In the past two months, our city has done a good job of de-dollarization, and the dollar pricing in import and export trade has dropped to about 60 percent. Ladies and gentlemen, I now have a new demand for you, and in the next two months, the proportion will be reduced to less than 40 percent. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a lot of advantages to achieve this goal. I can tell you that with the support of the Yunling Bank and the help of the relevant state departments, we have prepared 50 billion yuan of gold and 5 billion euros, and we can completely trade with gold and euros and our own currency. ”
When Xu Haodong said this, the hall erupted in warm applause.
Xu Haodong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't be busy applauding, this good news is certainly worth applauding." But there's better and better news, and I hope that after I say it, I ask you to give me three minutes of applause. ”
After a pause, Xu Haodong said: "At the beginning, I vigorously promoted the establishment of various municipal funds, and concentrated the surplus money from the municipal treasury and the spare money on hand in order to achieve wealth preservation. Specific measures to preserve wealth include the purchase of gold, bonds and oil. At the beginning, we bought about 20 billion yuan of oil at a low price and stored it, and I remember that many people were against it. ”
"In any case, the price of oil was less than $50 a barrel, and now it is more than $80 a barrel, and we are still making money. As far as fund investment is concerned, we have made a profitable business by buying oil and saving it. But we always keep oil there, and Sinopec and PetroChina don't buy it, and this is not a long-term solution. Therefore, the municipal party committee and government have come up with a two-way solution. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government reported to the Central Committee and the State Council at the beginning of the year to apply for the establishment of Yunling Petrochemical Company, which was approved on the 3rd of this month. This means that you bosses can drive to the gas station to refuel and refill your own gasoline. ”
"At the same time, after three months of negotiations, Sinopec and PetroChina agreed to sell assets in Yunling City to Yunling Petrochemical Company at a price of 32.3 billion yuan, and agreed that the business scope of Yunling Petrochemical Company would be expanded to Sanshui, Haizhou and Qingyang."
"That is to say, our Yunling Petrochemical Company not only has its own refined oil sales system, but also its own oil depots, wharves, refineries and petrochemical plants, with an annual refining capacity of 20 million tons."
"After the reorganization of the Yunling Petrochemical Company, the municipal government only holds 30 percent of the shares, and the remaining 70 percent of the shares will be given to all of you. But I only have one request, if you want to take a stake, it's better not to have relations with the United States. ”
"Why should I ask for that? Because Yunling Petrochemical Company is currently doing business with Iran. As everyone knows, the United States has brazenly threatened the whole world not to allow other countries to buy Iranian oil. And we in Yunling City are not afraid, because we Yunling has made up our minds to sever all relations with the United States, so we are not afraid of sanctions, we just want to do business with Iran. ”
The hall burst into applause again for three minutes.
After the applause, Xu Haodong waved his hand and laughed again, "Everyone, you are too anxious, I haven't finished yet." Tomorrow, the Iranian trade delegation will arrive in our Yunling, bringing a three-year import plan of 150 billion yuan, and they will be stationed on the 23rd floor of this building, and you can all go to them, drink coffee or tea, and negotiate business with them freely. ”
"Guys, this business is easy to do. You sell your products, they sell us oil, and the oil is bought in full by Yunling Petrochemical Company at the market price. Of course, I would like to remind you that you can't trade with Iran with dollars, you can't trade with the dollar, you can do it with yuan, euros and gold, and you can just exchange goods for goods. ”
"All in all, in short, our trade counterattack is mainly to de-dollarize as the long-term goal. Hurry up in small steps, ants move elephants, and strive to let the dollar completely roll out of our Yunling City within ten years. ”
"Comrades, in response to the trade war launched by the United States this time, our Yunling City is the first to bear the brunt, and we must take the initiative to attack, and we will not hesitate to sacrifice a little. Why? Because our Yunling economy is mainly export-oriented. In all cities in the country, Yunling is based on the real economy, and the proportion of exports in GDP is the highest in the country. ”
"The reason why Yunling City has been able to achieve its current achievements is due to the tide of globalization, and in the face of US unilateralism and hegemonism, we have the obligation and responsibility to stand up and stand on the front line to take the initiative to fight back. If you want to hide, it is useless to surrender, and fighting, only by fighting, can we usher in a victorious tomorrow. ”
"Fight, comrades......"
In the applause, Xu Haodong waved his hand to end his speech.
After the speech, Xu Haodong accompanied Chen Yibo to visit a number of economic trading centers in the Chamber of Commerce Building.
On the way back to Bayi Hotel, Chen Yibo asked Xu Haodong, "Haodong, how do you arrange my itinerary tomorrow?" ”
"Let Mayor Zhenghao accompany you to customs and ports, as well as the maritime free trade platform. In the afternoon, he will accompany you to the high-tech industrial park, during which he will inspect three enterprises. ”
"Won't you come with me?"
"I'm exempt. Today I put a cannon, do you think I'll still be free? ”
"That's right. Come over in the evening, and we'll talk again. ”
"Oh, what are you talking about?"
"Talk about politics."
"Politics? Understood, I arrived on time. ”
