Chapter 1303 Make money on both sides
Guo Zhuocheng said: "No matter how high the price of food is, no matter how big the losses of ethanol producers are, the money is still in the United States, it is just moving the money from one pocket to another. ¤ Literature Bar: wxba ¤ If ethanol producers and food production
If the producers are the same company, then this company may still be profitable. We should not be fooled by the appearance that ethanol producers are losing money. Their entire country is not losing money!
As long as the United States increases subsidies to these companies that produce and develop bioenergy, it will be fine.
Some people may say that if we bring high-priced grains to the international market, can't we make more profits? No, the more grains put into the market, the price of grains will drop, and the profits will not necessarily be greater. Because the United States is in the international grain market
The market is in a monopoly position. Only by maintaining a certain degree of food shortage in the grain market can we maintain high grain prices and earn more profits.
The United States is both smart and vicious. The U.S. strategy is to attack Asian countries that are lacking in natural resources and have rising momentum, and to seize the opportunity to blackmail Asian energy-deficient countries, plunder the foreign exchange reserves of various countries, and strengthen the U.S.
The status of one of the world's poles. Raising oil prices will suppress oil-deficient countries; raising food prices will suppress food-deficient countries. Countries with neither oil resources nor agricultural land resources will of course suffer from both high-priced crude oil and high food prices.
the suffering.
We, China, control a large oil field in Iran without producing it. The United States controls more oil fields in the world than we do, and they also have more oil fields that are not producing. The reason why we are not in a hurry to transfer Iran's oil fields to our domestic oil fields
They were developed because we don’t need so much crude oil now, because our technology is not yet high, and because we lack funds and are temporarily unable to develop them, and we don’t want to waste too much.
However, there are so many oil fields in the hands of the United States that are not being developed. It is not because their technical level is insufficient, nor because they have insufficient funds, but because these oil fields are buffers in their hands. As long as the crude oil price is still within the range they can identify, they will
The oil here will not be exploited on a large scale. When the oil price reaches the warning level they have set, they will be able to exploit on a large scale to buffer the crisis caused by high oil prices. The conditions for the United States to exploit these crude oils on a large scale are:
First, the price of crude oil is out of control or the price of oil is too high, which seriously drags down the U.S. economy and causes major social unrest in the United States. Second, other non-U.S. ally countries have lost the opportunity to take off or they have lost the ability to compete with the United States. Third,
, China and other major energy-consuming countries that are still oil-poor have realized the industrialization of oil alternative energy, and oil has no longer become a strategic material.
These three conditions are obviously far from appearing, which means that the United States will still have a long period of time to use high but not too high oil prices to extract profits from other countries. The United States will continue to advocate that oil is already 'oversupplied'.
speech to conceal their true purpose.
If these unexploited oil fields are the buffer of US strategy, then the domestic ethanol conversion plants in the United States can be regarded as an infinitely powerful weapon in their hands. Now the agriculture of various countries has been almost kidnapped by the United States, and the free flow of food has allowed other countries to
The country cannot produce more food to resist the U.S. attack. As long as there is a large
If a country is preparing to produce grain on a large scale, the United States can shut down nearly 200 ethanol plants and dump grain into that country. Even if that country's agriculture does not go bankrupt, it will stagnate due to huge losses. If there is a country that produces a large amount of grain.
The United States will be able to take advantage of low food prices and purchase large amounts to produce ethanol.
Nearly two hundred ethanol production plants are like a sea to other countries. No matter how much food others produce, they can swallow it. No matter how other countries try to maintain food prices, they can spit out massive amounts of food to disrupt the prices.
, leaving those countries so destitute that they don’t even have shorts.
Two hundred factories can start or stop work overnight, but food production is a long process. It can take three or four months from sowing to harvesting, and it can take half a year or even a year. In other countries, there are still many problems in the fields.
Green crops. And the prices in the international grain market have changed several times.
Just imagine, suppose that in February and March when many countries are still sowing seeds, the United States reduces its grain exports, and grain prices will naturally rise. In order to survive, these countries must spend a lot of money to import grain, and the United States will naturally make a lot of money. Wait until the grain exports of various countries in July and August
When the harvest begins and there is excess grain that can be exported and the United States wants to make back the money it spent some time ago, the United States pushes a large amount of grain to the international market. Grain prices plummet, and it doesn't even take how much grain is actually released to cause grain prices to plummet.
Food producers in these countries are either reluctant to give up or have no choice but to hoard. The result of their efforts is only losses or trapped funds. The result of repeated efforts is that these countries are slowly exporting their hard-earned money under the command of the United States.
Using these ethanol plants, the United States can manipulate the international grain market at will to make them make a lot of profits, and economically control countless countries: if the world's grain harvest is poor, the United States can make it worse, and the price of grain will skyrocket; if other countries have a good harvest, the United States can make grain harvests worse.
Prices plummeted, and the harvest was poor.
To force other countries to live worse than death, the United States only needs to order those ethanol production plants to shut down. Rich countries may also use huge foreign exchange reserves to hoard food to ease their worries. Even if they want to make money, they can only make a drop in the bucket of the United States.
.A country without money and food has nothing but helplessness.”
Guo Zhuocheng's words painted a terrifying scene for the central bosses. They had never thought that the United States had such means. However, the central bosses were not afraid in their hearts, because China itself has vast land. As long as it develops agriculture
The main line of production remains unwavering. No matter how foreign food prices change, China will concentrate on agricultural production. It will not sell food just because external food prices are high. Instead, it can take advantage of external food prices to purchase food when external food prices are low. Then the Chinese will not
Will starve.
At present, China's agriculture has not yet been commercialized. Large-scale corporate production is all individual production with single-family farmers as the main body. The food produced by farmers does not have to be sold. They can keep it for themselves and slowly eat it.
Sell, and some can even be kept until the second year before selling, which means that they are not sensitive to international grain prices. They are not as sensitive as others.
Like every country, it is a large-scale corporate production. In order to make profits and pay wages to their employees, these large companies must sell the grain they produce as soon as possible. This is just the storage cost, the quality of fresh grain deteriorates after being stored for a long time, and bank loan interest
Waiting is not something they can deal with indifferently, and they have to dance with the American baton.
However, after listening to Guo Zhuocheng's words, the bosses began to think about whether to provide financial subsidies for soybean production in Northeast my country to prevent China's soybeans from reducing production and planting area. After all, soybeans are far more important than other grains. , farmers rarely keep it as rations, and only by selling it can they maximize their profits. Moreover, the price of high-quality soybeans is not comparable to that of other food crops. Even if they can't earn much foreign exchange now, they are still better than those in the United States. It would be much better to import soybeans from the United States.
Although they can't see much difference between imported soybeans and producing soybeans for the time being, because China needs to import too many goods, they don't care about adding more soybeans; China also exports too many products, and they don't care about exporting less soybeans.
The foreign exchange exchanged for computer exports requires a lot of soybean exports, but since the United States subsidizes farmers for planting soybeans and suppresses Chinese soybeans, there is definitely nothing wrong with China subsidizing its own soybean planting.
Not only must we subsidize soybeans, but we must also subsidize other agricultural products, and farmers must be more motivated to produce. Only in this way can we be completely unafraid of America's food weapons.
They are not afraid of America's food weapons, and they are even less afraid of America's crude oil weapons. Because China's current consumption of crude oil is not large. Although cars are now starting to enter families who got rich first, the total amount is very small. In addition,
Now the central government has been emphasizing integrity and reducing unit expenses. The increase in the number of vehicles per unit is not large, and the consumption of gasoline and diesel is naturally not high.
In the opinion of the central government, China's own crude oil is enough to be self-sufficient, and the oil fields in Iraq and Iran can also be used by China for decades. Now that China's national power is on the rise, it may not necessarily acquire less oil fields overseas in the future.
Aren't there many small countries willing to sell oil and gas exploration rights to China for a period of time? After China's economy reaches a higher level, they will have ample funds to purchase some oil fields.
At this point in the meeting, the basic issues have been clearly discussed: the changes in the international situation caused by the United States are just the passive response of the United States. There is nothing new, nothing major will happen, let alone a war. China can continue to immerse itself in development, as long as
All it takes is a diplomatic game with the United States.
Of course, after China has seen through the inner secrets of the United States, it can still do a lot of things and make a lot of profits from it. Especially Guo Zhuocheng, the iic company he controls can use the United States's control of two strategic materials, namely grain and crude oil, to
Price controls for speculation.
Moreover, it is easier and safer for IIC Company to make money than the US government, because IIC Company has the backing of the Chinese government. For example, when the world grain market price is at a low point, IIC Company can freely purchase grain without worrying about the future.
Grain creates a backlog, because no matter how much grain IIC purchases, the Chinese government will be able to absorb it. When grain prices are at their peak, IIC can sell off large quantities based on its own inventory and the amount that the Chinese government can provide.
.
The same is true for grain, and the same is true for crude oil. IIC can completely use China as a rear warehouse to participate in market competition, and is far more powerful than those large companies in the United States.
