Chapter 652: New Ideas
When the No. 1 leader and Vice Chairman Liu heard Zhu Dunru say this, they couldn't help but be shocked, they are not ignorant of the power of overseas Chinese, in Southeast Asia, there are many big Chinese families who control the lifeline of the local economy, and with the intelligence and industriousness of the Chinese nation, as long as there is a little soil for growth, they can gather wealth from generation to generation through labor and become local economic bosses. But these two bigwigs didn't expect that they could now summon such a huge amount of money with a wave of their hands.
Seeing the surprised looks of the two of them, Zhu Dunru explained with a smile: "Instead of Dunru boasting, not to mention anything else, Taiwan Island alone, due to the reunification of the two sides of the strait, a part of the huge foreign exchange reserves accumulated before can be used as investment, and now we can completely adopt the renminbi settlement method for cross-strait economic and trade exchanges, so that at least half of Taiwan's foreign exchange reserves can be used, and in terms of our current reserves of nearly $500 billion, there is no problem at all in taking out $200 billion to invest in oil." ”
"Of course, I am not doing this to subsidize the people of the mainland with the blood and sweat of the people of Taiwan, these investments need to be rewarded, but if the PLA can ensure the safety of offshore oil exploitation, what investment is more profitable than investing in oil exploitation? Compared with the purchase of Americans' Treasury bonds, the yield is far higher than several times and dozens of times. Having said this, Zhu Dunru also said very frankly, there is no profit and it is not early, the people of Taiwan have always been extremely sensitive in this regard, and without huge interests, it will definitely be impossible to persuade them to support.
"In the past, with the power of Taiwan Island, for the East China Sea or the South China Sea, Taiwan naturally did not have the ability to control it, let alone develop it. Therefore, in the face of the wealth contained in the sea, Taiwan Island has always been out of reach. However, now that the two sides of the strait are united, and we have even defeated the US-Japan naval and air forces, I am full of confidence in the PLA, and now as long as the national policy allows, I will be able to go back and persuade everyone to invest money in this lucrative industry, so that we can not only alleviate the difficulties of state funds, but also find a new way out for Taiwan's idle funds. ”
Chief No. 1 and Vice Chairman Liu heard Zhu Dunru talk about this, and they didn't understand that there was really room for maneuver in this matter, but oil has always been a state-owned monopoly on the mainland, and the stakeholders involved in this liberalization of investment channels are quite complicated and there are many obstacles...... Therefore, although the No. 1 leader heard the operability of this matter, he couldn't make a decision on such a major matter for a while, so after listening to it, he pondered the pros and cons of this matter.
Vice Chairman Liu stood up and said, "General Secretary, I think this is feasible, although the oil industry is a bit special, but it is obviously more secure to put the lifeblood in the hands of those big turbans in the Gulf countries and the hands of the Americans. And according to this line of thinking, our foreign exchange reserves can also be used to do this. We have so much of our reserves invested in dollar assets right now, these are our hard-earned money, and it is more appropriate to invest some of them where we need them most. ”
"What's more, at this critical moment, we can't afford to wait, we can't afford to delay, on the one hand, through foreign exchange reserves, on the other hand, mobilize the power of the Chinese at home and abroad, if we concentrate the strength of our Chinese, we can build 200 million tons of offshore oil extraction capacity in one year, I believe that the world will re-examine the strength of our Chinese for this miracle, and the influence of our country in the international political economy is simply unlimited."
Of course, there is one thing that Vice Chairman Liu did not say, that is, it can not only solve the financial problem, but also introduce a heavyweight competitor for the oil and gas industry, and after having a competitor, the efficiency of the entire industry may have a big change.
In addition to the technological changes brought about by Duke's DSM and Duke Heavy Industries, which have completely improved the industrial base of the entire military industry, the exemplary role and invisible pressure played by the Duke R&D team in being proactive have also greatly spurred the original military industrial enterprises and the pace has become faster.
It is precisely because of this that Vice Chairman Liu is now promoting the expansion of the production and research and development field of DSM and turning it into a large-scale military enterprise that can independently choose the direction of research, and hopes that in the future, together with the ordnance industry, the armament industry, the AVIC industry, and the aerospace science and industry, it will be able to form a military enterprise giant that is both competitive and cooperative, similar to Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop-Grumman, and General Dynamics, so as to promote the better development of the domestic military industry.
This will naturally move the cake of some vested interests, but Vice Chairman Liu believes that it can promote the development of the entire industry more than anything else.
"General Secretary, once this big plan is launched, it can not only solve the energy crisis we are facing, but also a shot in the arm for our economy, more than 2 trillion construction, the pull of the domestic economy is self-evident, now we have no difficulty in deep-sea oil exploitation technology, the South China Sea we shouted how many years of joint development, in fact, it has always been exploited by those neighboring countries, before being bound by such and such reasons, we are now taking this opportunity to do it, On the one hand, we can recover a lot of resource losses, and on the other hand, we can also take practical actions to resolve territorial disputes with these countries, otherwise they will be exhausted in a few years, and we will not be able to make up for this huge loss if we take them back. Vice Chairman Liu continued.
"But Lao Liu, we have already confronted the United States and Japan in the East China Sea, does the military in the South China Sea have the spare strength to protect the safety of these offshore oil fields?" Chief No. 1 asked, in addition to considering the balance of various forces in the country economically, he also had to care about military matters. Because if the safety of these offshore platforms cannot be guaranteed, not only will the huge investment be wasted, but it will also greatly damage the prestige that has been established through the Diaoyutai sea and air war, and the gains will outweigh the losses for China.
The South China Sea is now a proven area of abundant oil extraction, far from mainland bases, and basically on the periphery of land-based air power, and Chief No. 1 worries that the military will not be able to cope with the military pressure of the South China Sea alliance and the US military.
"If there are only countries in the South China Sea, our South China Sea Fleet is enough to deal with it." Vice Chairman Liu said, "However, now that our relations with the United States and Japan are tense, we not only have to deal with the countries in the South China Sea, but also take into account the pressure on our South China Sea caused by the two aircraft carrier formations of the US military. Vice Chairman Liu said matter-of-factly, "However, we do not have to fight to the death with the Americans, because after the Diaoyutai War, the Americans can no longer see through our military strength." ”
"In the next six months, our latest generation of nuclear-powered submarines 041D will have 4 into service, strategic nuclear submarine 096D will have two into service, these two new generation of nuclear-powered submarines are made of special steel with high yield and high corrosion resistance developed by Duch Heavy Industries, the depth of diving can at least exceed 600 meters, and the theoretical calculation limit depth is 1000 meters, therefore, the installation of these two new submarines will add a new tactic for the navy, for the deep waters of the South China Sea, These two new submarines will play a decisive role in the surprise force. ”
Zhu Dunru didn't expect to be able to hear a core secret of the People's Liberation Army after a meal, and Vice Chairman Liu did not avoid him for this kind of thing, indicating that for his suggestion, at least this military boss was supportive, and at the same time, he also indirectly conveyed a message to him - the strength of the People's Liberation Army is far from the part that has surfaced now, and there are many new equipment that are constantly being developed.
Thinking of this, Zhu Dunru is full of expectations for this oil feast in the future.
