What is the concept of a billion dollars?

If you have to calculate according to the current exchange rate, it will be boring, and under normal circumstances, the black market in this era can reflect the real situation of the exchange rate.

As for the financial aspect, the management of the north side is quite strict, and Lao Ma planted it in this regard.

Of course, it's not that it's bad, it's this conservative state that makes it impossible for the outside to take advantage of it. Therefore, one billion dollars is a surprise to the leaders of the Ministry of Construction, and it is their job to be responsible for construction, and it is a surprise to earn foreign exchange, which is a political achievement.

After negotiating the price, the construction department entertained here, ate and drank well, and Sean got in the car and left in the afternoon.

In fact, Sean has a lot of soft sister coins in his hands, whether it is the foundries that have started construction, or the TSMC that pulled Zhang Zhongmou over to do it, they have earned him a huge amount of soft girl coins, but the recognition of this thing is ...... That's hard to put into words!

When you spend money, you can see whether you take out soft sister coins or US dollars, just look at the attitudes of governments at all levels, enterprises and institutions.

Not to mention outside, it's the nearest Hong Kong Island, no one wants soft sister coins, Sean's current attitude towards soft sister coins is to throw them here as working capital, of course, it's not really useless, such as expanding factories, such as buying.

The backlog of daily necessities shipped to Lithuania is the soft sister coin, which is also a good thing for many state-owned factories with business difficulties, backlog of goods, and wages that cannot be paid.

This time, Sean is also going to continue to get a few ships to send to Ukraine for a batch of arms back, 2 million tons of arms, which seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is just like that, according to the calculations of his subordinates, it can be consumed within a year at most.

This is still only counting the consumption of ***, Angola, Morocco, training, fighting, bullet consumption is extremely terrifying, *** and Angola, two small warlords need to use tons to calculate the bullets consumed in a conflict.

And training, the bullet consumption of training is even more terrifying!

Soldiers have to learn to shoot targets, they have to practice repeatedly, this exercise is not only the crosshair, but more importantly, muscle memory, otherwise on the battlefield, when the gun is emotional, they can forget how to shoot, and giving their own people a shuttle bullet is not a joke, but happens from time to time.

In order to train soldiers with combat effectiveness, it is even more necessary to let the soldiers get used to the feeling of a rain of bullets, as the saying goes, to train courage.

The soldiers are required to lie on the ground or in the trench, and the instructor sets up a machine gun to shoot directly, which is called experiencing the atmosphere of the battlefield.

The instructor was sure that the bullet was swept at a distance of one or two meters above the person's head, but the soldier lying on the ground did not feel like this, it was really the bullet that was swishing and flying overhead, and he couldn't stand up and run around under pressure, that was really going to be beaten into minced meat, and then more people panicked, and it was too normal for feces and urine to flow together.

It's not that blacks can't fight, it's that this group of in Africa is not well trained.

Is it because the warlords don't know how to train soldiers?

This is not before the First World War, even if it won't, as long as you spend a little money, you can invite instructors from any big country, 20,000 US dollars a month, and a lot of grassroots instructors are willing to do this job, so why is it still so watery?

To put it bluntly, the warlords don't have the money for professional training.

In the African market, the wholesale price of a 7.26 standard bullet sold to the warlords is $1, and the market price is as high as about $3.

It takes at least a few thousand rounds of ammunition to train a qualified soldier, and the US military, for example, takes 240 hours of shooting training for recruits alone, and the average ammunition consumed per person is 2,000 rounds.

How much is a life worth in Africa?

Coupled with food, drink and other training, a recruit has to invest nearly 10,000 US dollars, and I don't know if he can survive the battlefield, African warlords are crazy and spend so much money on training!

This time, Sean wants to train Jonas Savimbi with 3,000 'elites, troops, according to the estimates of the umbrella training department, no 10,000 tons of ammunition is not enough, and not only shooting, but also artillery of various calibers needs to be trained.

Sean is ready to go back with another 5 million tons of arms in Ukraine this time, right there

Angora has an underground arms market, which specializes in supplying small arms dealers in Africa who can make a lot of money.

Originally, Sean planned to stay in Yanjing for a while, and celebrate the New Year directly, anyway, it would be no problem for the palace to accommodate his family.

The security issue can also be guaranteed, and the government here also welcomes it, but the problem is that the plan has not changed quickly, Lao Bu came over with a phone call, and Sean had to leave the women and children at home in Yanjing, and hurriedly took a special plane to Washington.

In the evening, Lao Bu's house was still cooked by Aunt Barbara's own hands, and after eating, Lao Bu Xiaobra took Sean into the study.

A very familiar scene, where Sean has made a lot of contributions to the United States.

"What's the matter, it's so urgent, I'm going to have some fun in the north for a while."

"Remember when you mentioned that North America only has trade agreements?" Old Butou said with a wry smile.

Sean looked at Lao Bu with his mouth wide open, his face full of consternation, "Don't tell me you haven't signed it yet?" I remember being here the last time I talked about it."

As he spoke, Sean pointed to the ground, "It was a year ago."

The old cloth stall spread his hands, and his face was full of helplessness.

"It's not ......" Sean's expression was distorted, he wanted to scold, and shook his arm again, "It's been a year, and I haven't signed it yet, what are you doing?" Didn't you say last time that you would come up with some conditions to exchange some conditions with the Donkey Party, make some concessions, and pass this agreement?"

Although he knew that the efficiency of the United States was extremely low, he still did not expect it to be so low. "Where is it so easy, if it were that simple, I wouldn't have come back to you." Lao Bu sighed.

"Why?" Sean looked puzzled, "What the Donkey Party promoted, the Elephant Party has also given in, what resistance is there?"

"There are too many resistances, such as Canada and Mexico, such as many parliamentarians in the country." Lao Bu began to explain to Sean the reason for the delay for so long.

First of all, this kind of free trade agreement, even if it is the United States, is not what it wants, and there is no way to sign the agreement with someone else's head in the muzzle, and it is not Sean...... Ahem. The trilateral agreement is bound to be mutually beneficial, but in essence, the interests of the United States are in conflict with those of Canada and Mexico.

How could Canada and Mexico agree to sign without enough convincing parliament, convincing the population, and convincing the interests of the domestic capitalists?

One of them, on the issue of food, Canada and Mexico do not agree to open up completely, because in theory, Canada and Mexico are both large grain producers and do not need to worry about food. However, in fact, because of climate problems, Canada's annual grain yield per mu is lower than that of the United States, and the price is not advantageous, while Mexico is also higher than that of the United States because of geomorphological reasons and production methods.

Once the grain tariffs are lifted, U.S. grain will inevitably overwhelm the grain markets of both countries. As we all know, food security is a matter of national security and is of paramount importance, and once the country's grain market is occupied by foreign countries, the consequences of changes can be unimaginable.

Therefore, internationally, countries have been protecting their own food industries, mostly through subsidies.

And some large grain-producing countries, in turn, use subsidies to ensure that the price of exported grain is low enough...... Hey.

Although the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is being promoted by capital, the U.S. government is not simply a plaything of capital, it has its own pursuits, and it is a basic principle to complete the manipulation of the two countries through the trade agreement, so the grain must be on the free trade list.

This is only one of the difficulties, it is more entanglement in capital, the products ordered by the United States will impact the markets of the two countries, and in turn, the cheap goods of the two countries will also impact the low-end industrial chain on the United States.

Even more difficult is the issue of population mobility.

Once the trade deal is signed, the number of Mexicans smuggled into the United States will explode, and the arrival of Mexicans in the United States will have a major impact on local law and order, not to mention a surge in crime, and conflicts with locals in search of work.

Opposition to NAFTA has erupted in many places, especially among lower- and middle-class Americans.

"There are no trade agreements, Mo

There will be no shortage of people smuggled by Brother Xi!" Sean disagrees.

"Of course, we all know you're right, but the problem is, the people don't see it that way!" "In the past, smuggling was unquantifiable, and there was no way to attribute the problem of smuggling to any problem, but at this time, the North American trade agreement came out."

Sean instantly understood that in the job market, Mexicans were competing for opportunities for blacks, low-level whites, and Asians, and the contradictions were irreconcilable.

The resentment accumulated after the people found an outlet began to vent, and it did not make any sense at this time.

And in order to get votes, lawmakers would have to speak out against the agreement, and Mexican-Americans who did not have American citizenship would not be able to vote at all.

"There are also a lot of low-tech factories that will be relocated to the two countries, with low labor costs and low tax rates, which will cause a lot of Americans to lose their jobs and be very troublesome." The furrow on Lao Bu's face was full of helplessness.

It's a good thing that can't be pushed.

"Then open your mouth on the Mexicans and Canadians and force them to sign, I don't believe that the politicians in Mexico and Canada are so sentimental that they can't be bought!" Sean pouted, he didn't believe in the discipline of American politicians either.

"That can't be!" Lao Bu shook his head directly, "How much does it cost to buy?" How will this money come out? In what name?"

A series of questions smashed over, Sean was in a trance, slapped his thigh, and forgot. Every penny of the U.S. government's money must have a clear whereabouts, be reasonable and legal, and at least at the legal level, it must not be faulty.

There are many people and mixed mouths, not to mention the sworn enemy of the Elephant Party and the Donkey Party, this kind of thing cannot be concealed at all, and spending money to buy politicians in neighboring countries is a scandal, and if it is exposed, the face of the Elephant Party and Bush will be gone! In the United States, bribery is a crime......

"That can remind those stakeholders, let them do it, such as ADM, as soon as the trade agreement is signed, at least Mexico's food industry will completely collapse, and they can get countless benefits." Sean came up with an idea.

"The problem is that no one wants to, in the absence of unexpected benefits of money, it will be an astronomical amount to simply use money, it is not something that the president of Mexico or Canada can decide to sign alone, how many people will be bought?" Lao Bu squinted at Sean and said.

Sean blinked his eyes, looked at Lao Bu, and then looked at Xiao Bu who had been silent but his eyes were full of smiles, and suddenly the whole person was not good, pouted his buttocks, hugged the chair and took a few steps back, widened the distance between him and Lao Bu, and said vigilantly: "Don't beat my mind, I can't control this matter, don't joke, this kind of thing that the US government can't solve, I'm the oldest!"

"How can I thank Uncle Bush for telling me so much, I'm still young, I'm sorry, I'm leaving!" With that, Sean stood up and was about to walk out.

Sean's reaction made Xiao Bu not hold back, he laughed out loud, and he didn't sit still, he came up a few steps and hugged Sean, regardless of Sean's struggle, and pulled back hard. "Let go of me, don't, although the bow girl pulls !!." Sean shook his head and shouted at the neck of his neck, his voice was terrible, and the room was filled with cheerful air.

After a while, Sean sat down again, looking at Lao Bu with a sad face, "Why!" "You have a flexible brain, you have a lot of ideas, I can't help it, the serious means can only be full of grinding, but you know, I don't have that much time, I have to make some achievements." Saying that, Lao Bu sighed, "The Gulf War is early!"

If this is fought during the next general election, with the power of victory, it will be enough to cover up the problems of economic development, and Lao Bu's re-election is a certainty, but as a result, the victory will be early, and the problems of economic development will be exposed later.

Time also, life also!

Having said that, what else can Sean do?

He is so deeply bound to the father and son of the Bu family, of course he has to die at this time.

"Let me think." Sean held his head and rubbed his hair back and forth.

The U.S. government can't do it with serious methods, so it can only follow crooked paths.

Crooked, thinking, thinking, Sean really sorted out some ideas. Start with what you do best, what do you do best?

Robbery?

Extort?

Threat?

Extortion?

Ahh

Neither, I, Sean, am honest and trustworthy, a gentleman, and a nuclear ...... Peace! Canada doesn't know about it, but it says Mexico......

South America's K-in is gathered in Colombia, and then transported from Colombia to Mexico, and from here into the United States, and there is a huge number of ***, and Sean can get accurate information throughout the entire industrial chain.

Mexican drug offenders are no worse than Colombian drug offenders, and are Mexican officials cleaner than Colombian ones?

The water is deep!

But no matter how deep the water is, is there anything Sean can't probe to the end?

There is a way that flies do not bite seamless eggs, as long as there are seams...... Bah!

After a few spins in his mind, Sean looked up at Lao Bu and said with a sincere face: "Since Uncle Bush has spoken, then I am bankrupt, and this matter must be handled properly for my uncle, and the problem of Mexico will be left to me!"

"I don't really have any connections over there."

"Good!" Lao Bu patted Sean on the shoulder very excitedly, "I knew that Sean, you would never let me down!"
