Section 41 (Part 1)

Under the instruction of the central government, many large domestic oil companies such as CNPC and Sinopec announced their transformation or mergers. The Ministry of Energy also announced a few days later that as the oil and gas fields in the South China Sea islands have withered, in order to ensure the safe operation of the energy system, China will further strengthen its domestic strategic oil reserves. It will seek oil sources from oil-producing countries around the world to jointly develop at any cost in order to obtain more share of oil. At the same time, it also wants to convey a message from the outside world that China is short of oil and very short of oil.

On the day the news was released, the world's oil prices immediately rose to an unprecedented sky-high price of US$103 per barrel. The dollar value also fell by 12%, and a huge sense of crisis shrouded the Americans.

The US dollar is commonly known as the US dollar. In 1943, World War II was coming to an end, and the battle for world economic hegemony after the war started again. Both sides of the war were Britain and the United States. Commanders of both sides: Britain was the world's most famous economist Keynes. The United States was equally famous White. Britain proposed the "International Settlement Alliance Plan". It advocated: establish an international Settlement Alliance. Under the principle of free exchange, stabilize the currencies of various countries and create an international currency unit "Bancourt" based on gold. The United States.

Propose the "International Stability Fund Plan". Propose: Establish an international foreign exchange fund, based on gold, stabilize the currencies of various countries under the principle of free exchange, and create an international currency unit "Unita" connected to the US dollar. The UK knows that its national strength is no longer as strong as the United States, but it wants to dominate the world economy and at least be on par with the United States. Therefore, the international currency unit it proposed is directly linked to gold. The United States relies on its strength to account for three-quarters of the world's gold reserves and does not take its own way at all.

International monetary units must be pegged to the US dollar. The two governments quarreled from September 1943 to April 1944. Finally, Britain was much worse than the United States in terms of economic strength, and had to accept the US plan. So, in July 1944, the "United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference" attended by 44 countries was held in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, USA, and passed the "National Monetary Fund Agreement" based on the White Plan. As a result, the world monetary system centered on the US dollar was born and established

The hegemony of the US dollar. Countries confirm the gold official price of 35 US dollars = 1 ounce (approximately 31.1035 grams) gold stipulated by the United States in January 1934. The currencies of various countries are pegged to the US dollar. Governments and central banks can exchange gold with US dollars at this price. The exchange rate between currencies of various countries and US dollars can only fluctuate within the range of positive and negative 1% of parity. If this boundary is exceeded, governments of various countries are obliged to intervene in the foreign exchange market to maintain exchange rate stability. Because the US dollar is equivalent to gold, the US dollar is called US dollar.

The dollar is pegged to gold, and the currencies of various countries are pegged to the dollar, which means that countries regard the dollar as the most important foreign exchange reserves. These reserves are actually the foreign debt of the United States. The source of these reserves is the deficit of the United States' balance of payments. The increase in these reserves is the increase of the foreign debt of the United States. The growth of the dollar reserves held by various countries is based on the deficit of the United States' balance of payments deficit, so the US's balance of payments must continue for a long time. The unique position of the US dollar in international reserve currencies has brought great benefits to the United States and has also brought many difficulties. We can simply understand the United States as a global central bank. In theory, the United States can do no production as long as it is

Issuing currencies to obtain coin benefits can maintain a wealthy life. But if the United States does this completely, it will be a disaster. Because this central bank is not legal, it is the result of market choice. When people find that most of the US economy depends on this, people will wake up and turn to other currencies. From the current perspective, the US debt scale is 9 trillion US dollars. It can be said that the function of a global central bank is the fundamental reason why a single country maintains such a large scale of foreign debt. In the future, the international monetary system is likely to develop to all national currencies. Therefore, the United States must repay these debts for a considerable period of time in the future, which is the final outcome of the dollar crisis.

In my opinion, the huge amount of debts from Americans has been delayed for too long, and it is time to repay them.

As a precious metal for measuring the value of currency, gold once played an important role in the global economic system. It has good stability and rarity and was the best currency in history. Engels once said: "Money is naturally gold, and gold is naturally not currency." At the end of World War II, the United States relied on the world's highest gold reserves to easily push the US dollar to the throne of the world's hard currency. However, it was a period of peace and a period of abundant supplies. But now it is different. Oil, the energy that once supported the progress of Earth's technology for hundreds of years, has now become a sword of Damocles hanging above the heads of almost all countries on the earth.

The secret execution team sent by the State Council has begun to arrive in neighboring countries in the South China Sea in various types of identities a few months ago. Their task is to purchase all the currencies of these countries in our existing countries into US dollars and various commodities. Because once the oil crisis begins, the money will become less useful than toilet paper. Originally, as part of a country's complete monetary system, having a certain amount of legal currency in neighboring countries is a necessary and necessary means. However, if this part of the currency shrinks too much overall, it will cause unnecessary losses to our economy. Therefore, spending and using the money in our hands as soon as possible has become the first issue that Premier Tang Rong must consider.

It is obviously not possible to exchange and purchase in the international financial market and futures market. A small amount of operation is OK. If it is a large batch of transactions, it will definitely attract the attention of many eyes of the international market. Relying on some forces to purchase separately from foreign markets is too scattered and the time is delayed for too long, which is not conducive to operation. Therefore, while sending out various executive teams, the Prime Minister and I also invited a group of special guests.

The term Nanyang probably has this impression in the minds of domestic intellectuals. This may be because it is the center of overseas Chinese and its territory is close to my country. Before the Ming Dynasty, there was only the East and West Oceans, but not the name of the South Ocean. Zhang Xiewen East and West Ocean Test Paper 5 Brunei Article says: "Brunei is the Borah Kingdom, the end of the East Ocean, and the West is from the West." From this, we can see that the so-called Nanyang is actually part of the East and West Oceans in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the East Ocean refers to the three islands of Japan and the Philippine Border Islands...; the Western Ocean refers to the west of the Macasa Strait. The scope of today's Nanyang is roughly mentioned, namely, the French-led Indochina Peninsula, Siam, British-led Indochina, Dutch East Indies, Borneo, Philippine Border Islands... and other places. The area is more than 1.7 million square miles, accounting for about one-third of my country; the population is 10,000.

About a quarter of our country's weakness. Chinese immigrate overseas (especially Southeast Asia) have a considerable history. From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang and Song Dynasties, from business to business, and from refugees who escaped war in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, they formed the main body of the early overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia. Overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia accumulated a fortune through hard work, but were restricted by local governments when further developing their own industry and commerce. This status strengthened their patriotic thoughts and their national confidence became stronger. Therefore, overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia had a strong patriotic thought and national consciousness. During the arduous war of resistance against Japan, the donation actions initiated by overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia brought great help to the domestic anti-Japanese war at that time, and many wealthy overseas Chinese were willing to lose their money. Because in their minds, China is their only motherland.

Chen Shaowen is an overseas Chinese businessman who mainly operates rubber in Malaysia. His ancestors have been doing business in Malaysia since the Ming Dynasty, and he is the 17th generation of his family. The Chen family has a very powerful influence in Malaysia. The rubber trade volume through their family companies can account for more than half of the government every year. The foreign trade volume of various oil palm, coconut, cocoa and other cash crops is also very large. Therefore, the Chen family has a strong influence in the local government and Chinese businessmen.

Chen Shaowen was the head of the Chen family. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, his grandfather was already a representative of the Nanyang Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Under his strong advocacy, Chinese businessmen made great contributions to the war in the mainland of the motherland. Chen Shaowen, who was still young, also witnessed his father and grandfather running around to fight against the invasion of foreign enemies. He also clearly remembered what his elderly grandfather said to his family before his death: "It has been hundreds of years since our ancestors moved here from the mainland to the mainland.

We say that we live well here and have good business experience. But we can never forget that we are Chinese and Chinese! Although our ancestors were exiled to this place because they were exiled by the court and were abandoned people of the Celestial Empire, our roots are still in China, in the mainland, and in our hometown. Therefore, I have established a family motto here. No matter how great the achievements or the poor and poor people of my descendants have achieved in the future, we must remember that we will always be Chinese, Chinese, and our home is in China."
