Chapter 190 - International Trade (II)
Saudi Arabia is a rich country, but the serious homogeneity of the economy makes them do not have a perfect national foundation, when the zombie virus broke out, they did not even have sufficient food reserves, because they rarely eat food, maybe they are used to burning buns, so now the whole country is hungry, even the bark and leaves are almost eaten.
Xie Tian roughly estimated that now the total population of the world will not exceed 30 million, 30 million people, in fact, it is not as large as the population of a province in China, and other countries are not short of food in the actual sense, but cannot get food, most of the materials are in the occupied area controlled by zombies, and now the zombies are getting stronger and stronger, human weapons and materials are gradually consumed, the balance has begun to tilt seriously, China's situation can be regarded as the best in the world, and it also benefited from the extreme speed of Chairman Han's pacification of Yanjing at the beginning, Thanks to the two natural hazards of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and the main artery of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, so many objective factors, coupled with human factors, make China currently rank first in the world in terms of manpower, national strength, and force.
If this situation continues for another half a year, then it is believed that most of the food materials will become useless waste, and if there is no new food produced, there will be a serious fault in food, this fault does not last too long, a month is enough to destroy the world, so the use of food will become greater and greater, and after a period of time, the purchasing power of food will continue to rise.
More than 100 tons of grain is enough to save the lives of the Saudis, although they don't know how to live after eating this food.
Xie Tian personally followed the transport plane to Saudi Arabia, and Prince Sultan, the only remaining crown prince of the Saudi royal family, personally greeted him at the airport, and drove his extremely high-impact gold-built Rolls-Royce, waiting on the runway for a long time.
When Xie Tian got off the plane, Prince Sultan hurriedly greeted him, he didn't know Xie Tian himself, let alone what kind of official position Xie Tian this young man now held in China, but he heard that the Chinese side said that an extremely important person would come to Saudi Arabia to inspect the situation, Prince Sultan did not dare to slack off.
"Mr. Xie." Prince Sultan saluted Xie Tian and said, "Welcome to Saudi Arabia." ”
Xie Tian nodded and asked lightly: "Now Saudi Arabia, is it up to you?" ”
"Uh" Prince Sultan didn't expect Xie Tian to speak to him in such an impolite tone, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, you know, he is the crown prince of this country, although he has not yet held the enthronement ceremony, but Abdullah has already hung up, he is the boss of this country, and he is the most noble person, Xie Tian is just a hairy boy, and he is so arrogant to himself, which really makes him a little unacceptable.
However, thinking that he was going to exchange food from others, Prince Sultan nodded and said, "Although I have not officially ascended the throne yet, according to our national law, I am now the supreme leader of the country. ”
Xie Tian's grace sighed, and then said: "This time, there is something I want to discuss with you, now it is almost winter, the zombie virus has been raging for more than half a year, I estimate that you Saudi Arabia can eat almost everything, if it goes on like this, I am afraid it will not last long, you still have 160,000 people, so many people, more than 100 tons of food is just a drop in the barrel, it is better to think about how to solve the food problem once and for all." ”
"We are ready to reopen the oil trade." Sultan straightened the white cloth wrapped around his head, and said in high spirits: "We Saudi Arabia want to be the first country in the world to resume oil exploitation!" Swap oil for food, and believe we can get through this! ”
"Stop dreaming." Xie Tian pursed his lips, looked at him with disdain, and said: "Now that only China has the ability to refine oil in the world, what do other countries want your oil to do?" However, our current demand for oil is not very large, this time more than 200,000 tons of oil pulled back, with our current refining capacity, it is estimated that it will take more than a year to be able to refine it all, you rely on this more than 100 tons of grain, can you survive until this time next year? ”
Prince Sultan was stunned, his expression darkened again, yes, at present, only China needs oil, and the demand is not large, in this case, it is impossible to re-emerge by oil, and he can't even make a living.
Xie Tian glanced at Sultan and said, "You have 160,000 people, leave 10,000 people here, small-scale oil extraction, or take care of your oil reserves, and follow me to China for the rest." ”
"To China?" Prince Sultan was surprised and asked, "What are you asking us to do in China?" ”
"I will give you land and hire you to come to China to farm." Xie Tian said lightly.
"What ??!" Sultan's jaw was about to fall to the ground, and he yelled angrily: "You actually want us Saudi Arabians to go to China to farm?!" Do you know how many times our annual per capita GDP is that of your China? ”
Xie Tian looked at him disdainfully and asked, "Is GDP useful?" Do you really think I'm making "2012" here? You can buy a ferry ticket with some money? Tell you, if you want your people to live, bring them to China and farm well, I guarantee that your people will not go hungry, otherwise, you will starve to death on the gold mountain next year! ”
"Uh" Sultan thought of Xie Tian saying that he wanted to feed 150,000 Saudi Arabians, and then looked at Xie Tian and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, let's go to the temporary palace and have a good chat, in fact, I am quite interested in your plan." ”
"There's nothing to talk about." Xie Tian frowned and said: "I came to do human trade, if you want, in a few days I will organize transport planes to start gradually transporting your people to China, in addition, I will prepare a piece of land for you in China, and you will cultivate it yourself, your Saudis' previous grain self-sufficiency rate reached 98%, which proves that in addition to digging oil and spending money, you are also a good hand at farming, and you will plant wheat for me when you go, work hard, in addition to not worrying about food and drink, you can also give you a part of the grain when you have a bumper harvest next year." ”
Sultan always felt that the young man in front of him was not here to do business with him, but to accept him as his younger brother, but he didn't dare to talk back, thinking that if he had eaten up the food brought by Xie Tian and had not found a solution, he would have to take the people to China to eat, and it would be better than starving to death by guarding the oil here.
When Xie Tian left, he brought back to Shanghai 20 oil refining technicians prepared by Saudi Arabia, and after returning to Shanghai, these people were immediately arranged into refineries around Shanghai, on the one hand, to expand the production capacity of aviation fuel, and on the other hand, to actively produce gasoline and diesel.
The Shanghai Mint Company produced the latest rice stamps, the denomination ranged from 1 tael to 10 catties, the printing was very exquisite, more than the previous RMB, and then, the political axe opened a large political axe trading center in Shanghai, where the survivors could exchange various materials, the order of Shanghai went further, and the survivors were also very law-abiding, a thriving scene.
After Xie Tian returned to Shanghai, within 20 days, Prince Sultan of Saudi Arabia finally compromised, they were about to eat up the grain sent by Xie Tian, and it is conceivable that after eating too much bark, they suddenly ate the refined grain, and then it was not so easy to let them go back to gnaw the bark, Prince Sultan contacted Xie Tian and said: "Mr. Xie, I promise your request, the Saudi people are willing to go to China for development." ”
"Don't put gold on your face?" Xie Tian said lightly: "You didn't agree to my request, you agreed to the price I offered, and then agreed to hire the people of the whole country to the Chinese political axe and farm the land for the Chinese political axe." ”
"Okay." Sultan was no longer able to fight for this, and said weakly: "As long as I can feed my 160,000 people, I have no opinion. ”
"You wait another week, and in a week, I will send a ship to Saudi Arabia to bring your men over one after another."
"Okay." Sultan agreed, saying, "Then I'll wait for your news." ”
Ended the call with Sultan, Xie Tianying controlled Patton and immediately found several heads of the Air Force and a group of people from the Provisional Military Commission to hold a meeting together, at the conference table, Xie Tian said: "Now that the Yangtze River has been cut off, the number of zombies south of the Yangtze River is not much, I want to open up the place from Nanjing to Shanghai, these days, you send bombers to carry out an intensive bombing of large cities and zombie gathering points south of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu." ”
"Why do you want to empty Jiangsu again?" Chairman Han asked curiously, "Do you have any new moves?" ”
Xie Tian nodded and said with a smile: "Two days ago, my men went to Saudi Arabia and reached a deal with Prince Sultan of Saudi Arabia. ”
"Oil deals?" Chairman Han was surprised: "Isn't this everyone knowing? More than 100 tons of grain were exchanged for a giant oil tanker of 250,000 tons and a full load of oil. ”
"That's not all." "If that's all, I won't let my subordinates go there in person, and the business he negotiated with the Saudis is to rent 150,000 people in Saudi Arabia." ”
"Rent population?" Everyone was shocked and inexplicable, and they didn't understand what alternative plan Xie Tian was doing.
"That's right." Xie Tian said with a smile: "Rent the population to come and farm, I want to turn the whole of Jiangsu into an agricultural base, and the city can be rebuilt, but our current population is less than 10 million, and we can't use the urban resources of China's hundreds of millions of people, as long as the air force clears the zombies in Jiangsu, then we can divide Jiangsu into countless responsible fields, and the first to come over to do our long-term work is the Saudi Arabians." ”
"Oh my God." An old leader of the Military Commission sighed: "You are getting the Saudis back to us as tenants!" ”
"Yes." Xie Tian smiled slightly, and said: "There are 150,000 Saudis in total, we can provide seeds, fertilizers, and machinery, in this way, they will be full-time farmers, each person can plant at least ten acres of land, let them plant winter wheat, the yield of wheat per mu can reach more than 500 kilograms, now it is a little less, if 300 kilograms are counted, 1.5 million mu of land, at least hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain can be produced, and it is easy to feed one or two million people." ”
"So, what do you pay the Saudis?" One of them asked a question that everyone was very concerned about.
Xie Tian said lightly: "Take care of food and housing, and the harvest reward is five percent." ”
"It's too ruthless"
In the past, no one would have believed that there would be a country that would be able to hire more than 90 percent of the population of another country to serve itself, and that it was a rich and wealthy Saudi Arabian who didn't know how to spend it, but thankfully he did, and when he decided to ship most of the Saudis to Jiangsu as tenants, the whole world was in an uproar.
However, what is even more surprising is still to come, Pakistani President Zardari took the initiative to contact Xie Tian and asked to send most of the country's survivors to China to engage in farming activities, on the one hand, to relieve the pressure on his country, on the other hand, these people can farm in China, and the next year can also produce a certain amount of food for his country, so as to solve the food crisis next year.
Xie Tian said: "Your Excellency, why don't you bring the whole country to China, Kashmir is too barren to be worth defending." ”
President Zardari said without hesitation: "The people of Pakistan will never give up their land, no matter how difficult we are, we must stick to our land, at the very least, our soldiers will not retreat, our militia will not retreat, our military families will not retreat, our leaders will not retreat, we will stop the Indians here, we will not let them enter our land." ”
Xie Tian listened to his very resolute tone, and did not say more, so he asked: "How many people are Your Excellency President going to send to China?" ”
"We still have about a million people." Zardari said: "In addition to 45,000 soldiers, 80,000 militia reserves, and 50,000 logistics personnel and 120,000 military dependents, the remaining more than 700,000 people can all go to China, but we are afraid that there are too many people to go, which will increase the pressure on Chinese friends, and the specific amount of how much can be decided by your country, but our people are able to bear hardships and stand hard work, and wholeheartedly support the friendship between China and Pakistan, so we will definitely do our best to put into labor." ”
Xie Tian nodded and said, "Then according to your plan, 700,000 people will come, and I will send planes over to transport them 24 hours a day, and it will take less than 2,000 sorties to transport all these people to China." ”
"Okay." Zardari said gratefully: "The Pakistani people are forever grateful to our Chinese friends for helping us in times of crisis!" On behalf of the people of the whole country, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you! ”
