608 The trade war is in full swing

Lin Fei lowered the amount of gasoline exported to the United States by 10 percent, and Peter Sherlock suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, what does the reduction of gasoline exports mean by 10 percent, which means that all American companies will suffer huge losses, the first of which is the automobile industry.

In this era, the American automobile industry has just emerged, and Ford Motor Company and General Motors have emerged, but they have not yet been formally established, and the arrival of Lin Fei has accelerated the development of the American automobile industry.

At this time, the automobile industry is already on the eve of explosive development, just like a large pile of cotton soaked in fire oil, it only needs one spark to explode and burn, and Lin Fei's gasoline is this spark.

At this time, the Chinese Empire was the world's well-deserved first oil power, and Huaxia produced a large amount of gasoline, many of which were sold to the United States, and more gasoline would naturally promote the development of the automobile industry, so various automobile companies sprung up.

At this time, the gasoline sales volume in the U.S. market, gasoline from China accounted for 70 percent, if Huaxia lowered the gasoline export volume by 10 percent, it means that there will be a large gap in the U.S. gasoline market, without gasoline, consumers' desire to buy cars will inevitably decline, who will buy a car that can't be driven at all and put it at home as a handicraft.

What Peter Sherlock can think of is that the decline in car sales will inevitably lead to a backlog of inventory in automobile companies, and the backlog of inventory means that the capital turnover chain will be broken, and enterprises will lay off employees or even go bankrupt in order to save expenses, and the national unemployment rate will increase.

In the United States, the democratic system will greatly magnify the adverse effects of the increase in the number of unemployed, the unemployed will take to the streets, demonstrations, and the increase in the number of unemployed will also bring about problems of social security, and the United States is also a country that does not prohibit private ownership of firearms, and if the angry unemployed take revenge on society, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After the impact on the automobile industry, the banking industry will be affected, and if a large number of automobile companies go bankrupt, the money borrowed from banks by automobile companies cannot be repaid, which is likely to trigger a financial crisis......

Peter Sherlock didn't dare to think about it anymore, he hurriedly said in a consultative tone: "Flying Emperor, can we discuss this matter again?" ”

"There's nothing to discuss, Mr. Peter Sherlock, if you United States of America don't agree to my request, then I'm sorry, I'll cut the volume of oil exports again, and even start a comprehensive embargo on gasoline from the United States, and then you will find a way to fill the 70 percent gasoline gap."

Lin Fei raised his wrist as he said and looked at his watch, "It's already six o'clock in the evening, I'm going to get off work, although I'm the Flying Emperor, I also have a private life." ”

Lin Fei shouted outside the door: "Xiyun, prepare to change your clothes, I'll take you to the movies." ”

The door opened gently, Xiyun probed in, and said coquettishly: "Husband, Sister Baojiao is also here, let's go together?" ”

"Okay, ask Xian'er if she wants to continue reading comic books at home, let her be, by the way, let Concubine Jiao come in, I have something to tell her."

Xiyun agreed, and soon Ruan Fu Baojiao walked in, as soon as Ruan Fu Baojiao came in, Peter Sherlock's eyes straightened, although Xiyun was beautiful, but he was still young, his body had not yet grown up, and he was a little thin, but Ruan Fu Baojiao had already completed her development and maturity, and there was no place in her body that did not reveal a strong femininity, Peter Sherlock thought helplessly, Lin Fei actually had two such beautiful women, why did he hold on to Ling Xue?

Ruan Fu Baojiao walked in front of Lin Fei, lowered her eyebrows and called "master", Ruan Fu Baojiao, the arrogant princess, has been completely conquered by Lin Fei, she will always involuntarily show a weak look in front of Lin Fei, begging for Lin Fei's love.

Lin Fei asked with a smile, "How is Concubine Yuan doing?" ”

"It's okay, it's just too lonely." Ruan Fu Baojiao and Lin Fei talked about the past, but they didn't take Peter Sherlock in their eyes at all, of course Peter Sherlock understood Lin Fei's intentions, Lin Fei was deliberately snubbing him, revealing such a feeling to him - I don't value you at all.

Peter Sherlock frowned and left, and when he returned to the embassy, the first batch of people to be found was the commercial representative of the ocean shipping company, which also made large political contributions to the Republican and Democratic parties every year, and Peter Sherlock could not afford to mess with them.

The commercial representative asked Peter Sherlock on the spot: "Why didn't Huaxia sell us gasoline, we have several oil tankers of more than 30,000 tons, and we don't have a drop of gasoline, how can we drive the ships back?" ”

Ocean shipping companies and gasoline companies settle payments in this way, how much gasoline is transported ashore, how much money is given, no money is given without gasoline, the ships of ocean shipping companies do not receive oil, they cannot drive away, their ships are large ships with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, parked in Huaxia port, every day just "code fee" is a lot of expenses (the so-called "code fee", is the wharf use fee), as well as hull equipment maintenance, crew diet and daily life, stay in China for one more day, the loss of money in vain is thousands.

If the ship of the ocean shipping company runs away, it will cost more money, because the ship is equivalent to running for nothing, and no money can be earned.

Peter Sherlock was very helpless, and said all the good things before sending the people of the ocean shipping company away, and as soon as they left, the president of the Chinese region of the American Standard Oil Company came to see him in person, and the president of the Chinese region of the Standard Oil Company, who was a very high-ranking person, actually came to see Peter Sherlock in person, obviously this matter is not trivial.

Peter Sherlock didn't dare to see the president, and ordered someone to find an excuse to prevaricate him, and of course the president knew what Peter Sherlock was doing, so angry that he scolded, and he scolded outside Peter Sherlock's residence blocking the door, just like a shrew scolding the street.

Peter Sherlock was so anxious that he hurriedly sent a telegram to discuss countermeasures with the US government, and stayed up almost all night before he found a solution, and went to see Lin Fei early the next morning.

Lin Fei couldn't help but laugh when he saw Peter Sherlock with two dark circles under his eyes: "What's wrong with Mr. Peter Sherlock, didn't you rest last night, I thought I was the only one who didn't rest well, alas, my wife is too beautiful, it's not a good thing." ”

Peter Sherlock didn't bother to listen to Lin Fei's affair, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lin Fei, after a night of consultation between me and the government of the United States of America, we have decided to agree to the return of 1,500 Chinese students, what do you think?" ”

Lin Fei snorted coldly, "It's not good, I've already said it, I want all international students, all, all, don't you understand?" ”

Peter Sherlock sank his face and said angrily: "Mr. Lin Fei, I advise you to accept it when you see it, if we in the United States of America also want to fight this trade war with you, I'm afraid you have no chance of winning." ”

Lin Fei didn't laugh angrily, "Oh? Then I'm going to have to listen carefully, how are you United States of America going to fight this trade war with me? ”

"At this time, we in the United States of America are building railways for your country, such as the Yasansu Railway on the island of Java, the Ring Island Railway on Hainan Island, and so on, and if you insist on reducing the amount of gasoline exported to the United States, we will have to stop the construction of the railway."

"We still have more than a dozen hydropower construction teams, and now in Laos, they will also stop the construction of hydropower plants." Peter Sherlock said with a sinister smile.

Lin Fei shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "Okay, you just stop building, I don't care." ”

"Lin Fei, do you think I'm telling a lie? Someone, deliver my orders. One of the attendants walked up to Peter Sherlock and recorded Peter Sherlock's words with a pen and paper, Peter Sherlock picked up a pen and signed on the paper, threatening: "Lin Fei, as soon as my order is issued, the railway team and the hydropower station construction team will all stop work." ”

Lin Fei remained silent, and said loudly outside: "Xiyun, come in." ”

Xiyun pushed the door in, moved the lotus step lightly, and came to Lin Fei's face, Lin Fei said in a deep voice: "Pass my order, inform the oil export company, reduce the oil export volume to the United States by another ten percent, and then order the chemical company to reduce the fertilizer export volume to the United States by fifteen percent." ”

At this time, the Chinese Empire has been the first in the world to master the synthetic ammonia technology, the use of synthetic ammonia technology to produce ammonia, on the one hand as explosives raw materials, on the other hand as fertilizer raw materials, synthetic ammonia technology, so that the cost of Huaxia's fertilizer is only 20% of similar products in the international market, Huaxia fertilizer, devastated and decayed generally seized the world market.

The United States is a large agricultural country (of course, the United States is different from a large agricultural country like the Qing Dynasty), there are a large number of farms in the country, and chemical fertilizers are regarded by farmers as gold that does not shine, and thanks to the chemical fertilizers in China, the income of farmers can increase by 40 percent every year.

A 15 percent reduction in fertilizer exports to the United States will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to farmers, who are also a vote warehouse that cannot be ignored, and both Democrats and Republicans are staring at this vote warehouse.

Peter Sherlock's cold sweat is dripping down again, in this trade war, the United States does not have an advantage at all, the United States also has a great disadvantage, that is, the state system, the United States is a democratic system, China is an authoritarian system, in the United States, any bit of wind and grass that happens around the people will turn into a political event, such as the trade war in China, which will make those American people who have suffered losses complain and cause chaos.

In China, on the other hand, although the trade war will also damage the interests of some people, under Lin Fei's iron-fisted rule, these losses are nothing at all.
