Someone took a mouthful of rice and asked, "I always read on the news that a certain country in Feizhou has provided free aid and debt forgiveness. Our Dragon Kingdom is really rich!"
Someone expressed doubts, saying: "Although our economy is developed now, there are still many people whose income is not high. Why don't they use it to better develop the country instead of throwing money to those black people?"
Li Honglei also had the same doubts, he was just an engineer, and he didn't understand these practices of Longguo.
"Professor Huang, is this to win over them?" Li Honglei asked.
Huang Yuan took a mouthful of food, shook his head, and said slowly:
"If you want to know the reason behind this incident, you still have to start with a past event in Berry Country."
"In the last global war, all the countries in Ouzhou were reduced to ruins. The economy was in a mess and there was a serious shortage of supplies. Even bread had to be supplied in limited quantities. The country was left in ruins."
"At this time, Berry Country, which made a lot of money in the global war, announced to provide free aid to Ouzhou. In five years, it gave 130 billion Berry dollars free of charge. The 130 billion Berry dollars at that time was equivalent to the present 30 billion raspberries."
"Of course, it's not directly sending money, but aid through finance, technology, machinery and equipment, advanced management experience, etc."
"In this way, the country of Berry gained a large number of allies, took advantage of the opportunity to set up an organization against the predecessor of the bear country, built a large number of military bases at the door of the predecessor of the bear country, and aimed the missiles at the predecessor of the bear country. "
"And the most frightening thing is that when Berry Country aided Ouzhou, it subtly conveyed culture to Ouzhou, which made people in Ouzhou gradually addicted and accustomed. The domestic market is occupied by Berry Country.”
"In the following decades, Berry Country earned far more than 130 billion from Ouzhou, and even far exceeded 30 billion!"
Everyone was surprised.
It turned out that the seemingly free assistance had to pay such a high price behind it!
Li Honglei suddenly woke up, and said: "Sakura Kingdom loaned us a lot of money in the early days of our founding. Our current Tiandu Capital Airport, Tiandu Metro Line [-], and the Yangtze River Bridge all have loans from Sakura Kingdom.
"I used to think that Sakura Country felt guilty for invading our country due to the global war and wanted to compensate us. Did I always think wrong?!" Huang Yuan sneered twice. I can't bring up any good feelings.
The old man said in a voice full of national hatred and family hatred: "Sakura Kingdom did provide us with such help in the early days of the founding of the country, and we are grateful."
"However, the evil they have done will never be forgotten."
"I don't care if your guess is right or not, but it's definitely not that simple for the Sakura Kingdom to assist the Dragon Kingdom."
"Do you know that the cherry blossom country gave us cherry blossom coins, and we can only buy goods from the cherry blossom country with cherry blossom coins!"
"So, the goods from the Sakura Kingdom quietly occupied the market of the Dragon Kingdom!"
"What is this behavior called?"
At this point, Huang Yuan slammed the table heavily, and said: "This is called, it doesn't matter if you can't afford my things, I will lend you money to buy them, and I will pay you back later."
Li Honglei cursed angrily: "Sure enough, I don't have any good intentions!"
Huang Yuan said: "Back then, they helped us build roads and bridges, but don't forget that our roads and bridges were blown up by them."
"Another point is that when they aided us in building factories, they asked our country's factories to buy their machines. On the one hand, they sold the machines to make money. On the other hand, they actually imposed their industrial standards on the our country."
"In this case, which part of our machine is broken in the future,
"In the factory, what is the most important thing? These machines,
You have to buy their parts for replacement, and you have to ask their engineers to repair them at a high price! "It's the production line. By taking control of the machinery in our factory, they have a firm control of our country's industry."
"It took us decades to get rid of the control of Sakura Country!"
Hearing this, Li Honglei, as well as a bunch of disgraced workers around, understood.
Li Honglei suddenly realized, and said: "So, we spend a lot of money to aid Feizhou countries, build bridges, roads, stadiums and schools for them, is it for our own good?"
Some workers said: "Feizhou is so poor that it's not caused by our country! It's because they are too lazy, and they don't know when they can pay off our country's debts!"
A worker stood up and said angrily: "I used to follow the national project, went to Feizhou to assist in the construction, and built a school for them. It was fine at the beginning. When we finished all the projects,
When I was about to return to my country, I went to that school on a whim, and it turned out to be a 'red light' district, with classrooms becoming bedrooms where women from Feizhou make money! ! "There was a look of disgust on everyone's face.
The school is such a sacred place, on that continent, how can it be so defiled?
Huang Yuan is also full of helplessness for that piece of land. The older generation of scientists who believe in "no pain, no gain" are not interested in lazy and introspective people.
He looked at the group of simple workers in the canteen of the construction site.
These people are the cutest people!
"Xiao Li, you said that we spent a lot of money, but you are not right..."
When Huang Yuan said this, Li Honglei was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Didn't we give them free loans and arrange excellent construction companies to assist in the construction?"
Huang Yuan smiled and said: "In the first ten years of the 21st century, our Dragon Kingdom assisted 51 Feizhou countries, with a total of 1000 taels and 750 projects, costing about [-] billion dollars."
"If it is counted today, the various assistance costs have actually reached a scale of 600 billion yuan, or even higher!"
The workers were all holding their bowls at the moment, they stopped eating, and listened to Huang Yuan's explanation of these things they didn't know.
Huang Yuan smiled mysteriously, and continued: "I don't know if you have noticed, but the currency units I use are all raspberry dollars!"
"why?"
"Because, in China, the money used to build railways, build parks, engage in social security, and carry out public construction comes from the state's fiscal revenue."
"For foreign countries to build railways, build ports, and open factories, the money comes from the country's foreign exchange reserves!"
"In other words, the money the country uses to aid foreign countries is not the same as the money used for domestic construction."
"Foreign exchange reserves for aiding foreign countries cannot be directly used domestically. We have kept more than three trillion yuan in foreign exchange reserves for a long time, and even once approached four trillion yuan in foreign exchange reserves. The remaining money cannot be used domestically, but can only be used abroad. Aid to build!"
A worker took a mouthful of rice and gnawed on the chicken leg, feeling a little distressed, and asked, "Why can't you use it yourself? Isn't that our money?"
Huang Yuan said: "It's a bit complicated to explain, let me give you an example."
He was worried that the workers would not understand, so he thought of an easy-to-understand explanation as much as possible, and said: "For example, if Longguo receives a foreign order and exports equipment worth 20 million yuan to Berryguo, that's a big deal. 20 million raspberries are foreign exchange.”
"However, raspberry dollars cannot be used in China. Longguo will exchange 20 million raspberry dollars for 20 billion Longguo currency, and then the bank will get [-] million raspberry dollars, which is foreign exchange reserves."
"According to what many people say, if the foreign exchange reserves are directly used for domestic construction, then they will have to be exchanged for Dragon Country currency again, that is, another [-] billion Dragon Country currency will flow into the domestic market."
"This will lead to 20 million Berry Dollars being in the bank forever, while the Dragon Country Coins on the market are constantly increasing."
"More importantly, Longguo's export of equipment worth 20 million yuan requires cost. If the cost of materials, wages, and processing is 10 million yuan, then the cost of this 10 million yuan has already passed through Longguo in China. currency flow through once, "
"If foreign exchange is used in the country simply and rudely, it will inevitably lead to inflation. As domestic prices rise, money will become less and less valuable, and the cost of living of ordinary people will rise. This is a serious disaster that can destroy a country's economy!"
"So, do you understand?"
The workers nodded in amazement.
Someone said in a rough voice: "No wonder! The head above is easy to use, I still do my carpentry well, I will do whatever the country tells me to do, don't make trouble!!"
Li Honglei said: "I understand that the dollar is an international settlement currency, and any country that is highly open to the country will have a large amount of foreign exchange in the dollar. These foreign exchange reserves are actually similar to national 'bonds', right! "
Huang Yuan nodded, a little angry, and said: "Berry Country's current economic growth has slowed down, and the debt scale has continued to expand. If this continues, when Berry Country can't even pay back the interest, they will definitely not admit it n
O
Not to mention before, after Yoder came to power, the country's "debt" has reached 26 trillion yuan in June this year, which is much higher than the country's GDP of 21 trillion yuan last year!
Huang Yuan couldn't understand this rogue power, and said: "It stands to reason that if you don't pay back the money, you should be beaten up, but who made Berry Country still rank first in military, economics, finance, and technology?" One...it is definitely unrealistic to force Berry Country to pay back the money in a strong way."
"So, we changed to a tactful way and used these foreign exchange reserves for foreign investment."
"In this way, the country of Berry owes a lot of debts to the country of Long, and the country of Berry owes a lot of debts to the whole world. When the risks are shared, if the country of Berry does not pay back the money, it will affect not only Berry and Dragon. The relationship between the two countries will also cause dissatisfaction among the countries invested by the Dragon Kingdom. Becoming an enemy of the world, the Berry Country may not dare!"
Having said that, everyone fully understands.
Li Honglei returned to the original topic and asked: "These African countries are asking for assistance from us now, can we help?"
Without raising his head, Huang Yuan took a sip of the soup and said, "The end is coming, sweep the snow before your door."
"but......"
Huang Yuan smiled again, and said: "You must know that Feizhou is very rich in energy and mineral resources. There are two-thirds of the world's mineral reserves there, and more than half of the gold, diamonds, uranium, uranium, and iron. It's all made here."
"Longguo, I'm still waiting."
"When the Feizhou country is about to collapse, we will send charcoal in the snow and replace all the foreign exchange reserves with these raw materials!"
"Now, it is impossible for Berry Country to pay back the money. Transfer all these debts of Berry Country to Feizhou Country. Dragon Country will give some help in infrastructure construction, and then come back with precious mineral resources to supplement the needs of Dragon Country. ... Director Xu and others have already seen through this point, but they are just waiting for this opportunity!"
Chatting and talking, everyone's box lunch has bottomed out.
Many people got up and bid farewell to Huang Yuan, and went back to the work shed to take a nap.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the construction of the dungeon will start again as the workers open their eyes.
Huang Yuan looked at this group of radiant young people with pride in his heart.
The confidence on the faces of today's children is what was not seen on the faces of those people decades ago.
This generation, who grew up under the protection of the mighty Dragon Kingdom, does not flatter the Berry Country or the Cherry Blossom Country, and does not have the confusion and yearning for the outside world of people who just witnessed the economic development decades ago!
The smiles on these people's faces are the most intuitive testimony that the Dragon Kingdom has grown stronger! !
Li Honglei wiped his mouth, put away his lunch box, and said longingly: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and it happens to be the middle of September. Maybe it coincides with the Little Ice Age!" "Our My grandparents certainly never thought that one year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I was actually looking at the moon in a world of ice and snow..."
"By the way, Professor Huang, after we live in the underground city, what will the Mid-Autumn Festival be like? Will there be a moon to watch and mooncakes to eat? There will also be National Day, New Year's Day, and Spring Festival." The thought of being underground With the lights and festoons in the city, Li Honglei felt unreal.
He looked at the construction site of the underground city in the distance. Huge machines were standing in the construction area, standing silently, and this area, ten months later, would be a brand new city!
Longguo, the Dangerous Information Bureau building.
Xu Qiu leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and meditated.
Not long after, he opened his eyes, looked at Zou Botao, and asked, "Old Zou, Guangyuan, Bingqing, do you know what the real purpose of the forest transplanting plan is?"
"True... purpose?"
Li Bingqing, who was holding Xu Qiu's shoulders, froze.
Zou Botao and Lu Guangyuan also looked at each other in blank dismay.
Isn't it for the protection of the forest, and, after the construction of the dungeon is completed, to open up a forest ecological area for the dungeon, with the help of the forest's gas circulation, to supply the dungeon with a steady stream of oxygen?
Could it be... there is another deep meaning!
0.. ask for flowers...
Xu Qiu smiled slightly and said, "The most important thing in a dungeon is the font circulation system. To put it in a more easy-to-understand way, the ecosystem! The dungeon needs to have an ecology that is independent of Blue Star and the sun and only depends on itself." system."
"And the first batch of experiencers of this ecosystem are these trees!"
At this moment, Li Bingqing and the others suddenly woke up!
Indeed, if the trees can survive, then it will not be too difficult for human beings to survive in the dungeon!
"That is to say, Director Xu, you plan to let these forests experiment with our own circulatory system?!"
