As Lu Li's promise blurted out, even a political veteran like Sun Lao, who had experienced a lot of ups and downs, couldn't help but jump his eyelids.

You must know that these conditions are no longer economic and trade cooperation in the ordinary sense, but selling the country, and they are still selling fiercely, although they are not as exaggerated as the famous "21 Traitors", but they are not much worse, plus the colonial plan, it is basically digging the roots of Venezuela.

An open market means that there are not too many restrictions on the entry of goods, and it is simply a dumping ground for products that all developed manufacturing countries dream of.

It is even more difficult to open up the crude oil market, especially in Venezuela, one of the world's top oil producing countries, and the remaining reserves currently explored are about 77 billion barrels, one-fifth of which is more than 15 billion barrels.

As for using the renminbi to stabilize Venezuela's chaotic financial order, as well as $150 billion in infrastructure and industrial import orders, it is a good thing that I could not dream of.

After all, since 2010, the country has actually entered three major surpluses.

That is, the so-called industrial capital surplus, also known as overcapacity, financial capital surplus, can also be simply understood as excess money supply, and the last one is the traditional labor surplus.

The first industrial capital surplus is well understood, that is, after the reform and opening up, with the help of solid basic industries and cheap skilled workers, a large number of processing and manufacturing industries transferred from Europe and the United States were undertaken.

The second item of surplus financial capital, judging from the broad money M2 growth index, the domestic M2 index has increased by 447 percent in 10 years, which can be said to be the world's largest in terms of money supply, and the vast majority of it is stuck in the foreign exchange market and seriously lacks effective use.

The third is the surplus of traditional labor, especially in recent years, the trend of rural labor transfer to cities has declined significantly, and automated machines are slowly replacing repetitive labor, which makes the demand for labor in cities increasingly decreasing, and many rural areas have idle labor, which can easily lead to poverty.

It is precisely these three excesses that make the government have to try its best to go out and find new investment locations for capital, whether it is large-scale investment in infrastructure in Africa or the Belt and Road policy on the Eurasian map, all in order to find an investment direction for the three excesses on the one hand, and build a huge market with RMB as the settlement currency from scratch on the other hand.

As a businessman, Lu Li is well aware of the problems existing in the domestic economy, so each of the four conditions is to the point.

Most importantly, Venezuela is a Latin American country and a member of the Latin American Pacific Alliance, an emerging economic organization.

Once the huge market in Latin America is acquired, whether it is economically, politically, or militarily, it is enough to make the United States feel the pressure.

In the end, no matter whether the United States directly sends troops to intervene or supports puppets through the old methods, it will trigger a new round of anti-American upsurge, and the United States, which has become more and more serious at home and abroad, will have to fall from its position as the world's top spot if it fails to keep its ropes.

After thinking about the gains and losses for a long time, the old man suddenly smiled and asked: "Since you have promised so many benefits, I now very much want to know, what do you plan to give to the United States?"

"Quite simply, all the Americans want is oil, join the Free Trade Area of the Americas, sever diplomatic relations with Cuba, Iran and North Korea, and then put on a pro-American stance. What's more, I'm not stupid enough to come to the forefront, they won't know who they're dealing with. Lu Li gave the answer with a playful face.

"Interesting, so you plan to abandon the oil economy and revitalize Venezuela's agriculture and manufacturing industries, right?" said the old man's eyes, revealing an unconcealable surprise.

He couldn't believe that the young man sitting across from him had the courage to trade important oil resources for a peaceful and stable development environment.

After all, Venezuela has been in turmoil mainly because the oil stored underground is so eye-catching that if the country's government relinquishes control of the oil, it will quickly become inconspicuous, like its neighbor the Republic of Guyana, and disappear from the international news.

Lu Li smiled slightly and explained: "No, I'm not trying to give up the oil economy, but to control it in another form. You should know that I am a shareholder of JPMorgan Chase, so I can pull this huge interest group together to eat Venezuela's oil assets from the financial side. Tempted by huge profits, I believe they will definitely not mind me eating the biggest piece of cake. In this way, I can satisfy the U.S. government and retain control of the oil, which is a double win. ”

Terrible!

Sun Lao instantly realized what kind of trick Lu Li was playing, simply put, it was exactly the same thing that those political oligarchs did when the Soviet Union collapsed.

Taking advantage of the turmoil in the country, the acquisition of a large number of state-owned assets, especially various non-renewable resources and minerals, at a very low price, and finally the kidnapping of the entire national economy is summed up as a game of capital.

The only difference is that Lu Li does not plan to share it with too many people, but eats Venezuela in one bite by himself, and his appetite and ambition are simply amazing.

He really couldn't figure out how a young man without any criminal record and bad record could have undergone such a drastic change in just a few months.

There was a moment of silence. The old man finally nodded: "Well, regarding your actions to subvert the Venezuelan regime, I remain neutral on behalf of the central government, and I will neither interfere with you nor give too much support." But if you succeed, then we can start a deep cooperation. ”

"No problem, but business can always be done, right? It doesn't matter if I hire a few veterans as instructors, right?" Lu Li asked meaningfully.

"Of course, we welcome any normal form of trade. As for hiring veterans, that is an individual's freedom, and the government will not interfere with it. The old man quietly gave a guarantee.

"Thank you so much, I happen to have a purchase list here, please do me a little favor. With that, Lu Li put the two A4 papers that had been prepared on the table.

The old man only glanced at it, and a smile appeared on the faces all over him: "Don't worry, in a month at most, I will be able to prepare these things and help you transport them inland along the Orinoco River......"
