America's Big Hero Chapter 565

What is the concept of a billion dollars?

If you have to calculate according to the current exchange rate, that would be boring. Under normal circumstances, only the black market in this era can reflect the real situation of the exchange rate.

With regard to finance, the management in the north is quite strict, and this is where the old horse fell.

Of course, it's not that it's bad, it's this conservative state that makes it impossible for the outside world to take advantage of it. Therefore, one billion US dollars is what surprised the leaders of the Ministry of Construction. Being in charge of construction is their job, and earning foreign exchange should be a surprise. This is the political achievement.

After negotiating the price, the construction department entertained him for a while. After eating and drinking well, Sean got in the car and left in the afternoon.

In fact, Xiao En has a lot of soft sister coins in his hands. Whether it is the foundries that have already started work, or TSMC that Zhang Zhongmou came to work on, they have earned him a huge amount of soft sister coins, but this thing is now The degree of recognition... that is hard to describe!

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

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

The backlog of daily necessities shipped to Lithuania is the soft sister currency. It is also a good thing for many state-owned factories that have difficulties in operating, have a backlog of goods, and cannot pay wages.

This time, Sean is going to continue to get a few ships to send to Ukraine to exchange for a batch of munitions. 2 million tons of munitions seems to be a lot, but in fact that is the case. According to his calculations, it can be consumed within a year at most.

This still only calculates the consumption of the three countries of Taiwan, Angola, and Morocco. Training, fighting, and bullet consumption are extremely terrifying. The bullets consumed by two small warlords in Taiwan and Angola need to be calculated in tons.

There is also training, the bullet consumption of training is even more terrifying!

Soldiers have to learn how to shoot targets and practice repeatedly. This exercise is not only about sights, but more importantly, muscle memory. Otherwise, when they are on the battlefield, they will forget how to open the gun when they are emotional. , but happens from time to time.

And if you want to train soldiers with combat effectiveness, you need to let the soldiers get used to the feeling of bullets and bullets. As the saying goes, it is called courage.

The soldiers are required to lie on the ground or in the trenches, and the instructors shoot directly with machine guns. This is called experiencing the atmosphere of the battlefield.

The instructor was sure that the bullets were shot at a distance of one or two meters above the heads, but the soldiers lying on the ground didn't feel that way. It was really the bullets flying around their heads, and they couldn't bear the pressure and stood up. If you run around, you will really be beaten to pieces, and then more people will panic, and it is normal to urinate and excrete.

It's not that blacks can't fight, it's that these African blacks are 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 was not possible, you can hire instructors from any big country for a little money, 20,000 dollars a month, and a lot of grassroots instructors are willing to do this job, so why is it still so cheap?

To put it bluntly, the warlords have no money for professional training.

In the African market, the wholesale price of a round of 7.26 standard ammunition sold to warlords is 1 US dollar, and the market price is as high as 3 US dollars. After all, it is time to shoot, who cares about how many dollars it is!

It takes at least several thousand rounds of ammunition to train a qualified soldier. For example, in the U.S. military, it takes 240 hours for the shooting training of recruits alone, and the average consumption of ammunition per person is 2,000 rounds.

How much is a human life worth in Africa?

In addition to food, drink and other training, a recruit has to invest close to 10,000 US dollars. It is not known whether he will survive the battlefield. African warlords are crazy to spend such a high price on training!

This time Sean is going to train Jonas Savimbi's 3,000 elite troops. According to the estimate of the umbrella training department, 10,000 tons of ammunition is not enough. Artillery needs training.

Sean plans to go back to Ukraine with another 5 million tons of arms this time.

Angola has opened an underground arms trading market, which specializes in supplying small arms dealers in Africa and can make a lot of money.

Originally, Xiao En planned to stay in Yanjing for a while, and celebrate the new year directly. Anyway, it is no problem for the palace to accommodate his big family.

Security issues can also be guaranteed, and the government here also welcomes it. The problem is that the plan has not changed quickly. When Lao Bu called, Xiao En had to leave the family's women and children in Yanjing, and rushed to Washington on a special plane.

In the evening, at Old Bu's house, Aunt Barbara still cooked the meal by herself. After eating, Old Bu took Xiao En into the study.

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

"What's the matter? I'm in such a hurry. I'm going to have fun in the north for a while."

"Remember the North American trade agreement you mentioned earlier?" the old cloth man said with a wry smile.

Sean opened his mouth wide and looked at Old Bu, his face was full of astonishment, "Don't tell me you haven't signed yet? I remember that I was here when I said this last time."

Saying that, Sean pointed to the ground, "The time was a year ago."

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

"No..." Sean's expression twisted, he wanted to curse, and he shook his arm again, "It's been a year, and I haven't signed it yet, what are you doing? Uncle, didn't you say to exchange some conditions with the donkey party last time, Make some concessions and pass this agreement?"

Although he knew that the efficiency of the United States was extremely low, he did not expect it to be so low. "It's not that easy. If it was that easy, I wouldn't be looking for you back." Old Bu sighed.

"Why!" Sean was puzzled, "The Donkey Party pushed, but the Elephant Party made concessions. What resistance is there?"

"There are too many resistances, such as Canada and Mexico, such as many domestic congressmen." Old Bu began to explain to Sean the reason for the delay.

First of all, this kind of free trade agreement, even if it is the United States, does not do whatever it wants. There is no way to sign the agreement with a gun at someone's head, and it is not Sean... ahem. The tripartite agreement is bound to be mutually beneficial, but in essence, the interests of the United States are in conflict with Canada and Mexico. Americans want to make more money. Where does the money come from?

How can Canada and Mexico agree to sign if Canada and Mexico are not given enough to convince the parliament, the people, and the interests of domestic capitalists.

One of them, on the issue of food, Canada and Mexico do not agree to fully open up. In theory, Canada and Mexico are both major grain-producing countries, so there is no need to worry about food issues. But in fact, due to climate problems, Canada's annual grain yield is lower than that of the United States, and it does not have an advantage in price. Mexico is mainly small farmers because of landform and production methods, and its price is also higher than that of the United States.

Once the grain tariffs are lifted, US grain will inevitably overwhelm the grain markets of the two countries. As we all know, food security is related to national security and is of great importance. Once the country's food market is occupied by foreign countries, the consequences will be disastrous if something happens.

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

And some big grain-producing countries, in turn, also use subsidies to ensure that the price of exported grain is low enough. The purpose is... hehe.

Although capital is promoting the North American Free Trade Agreement this time, the U.S. government is not simply a plaything of capital. It has its own pursuit. It is a basic principle to control the two countries through a trade agreement. Therefore, food must trade list.

This is just one of the difficulties. There are more entanglements in capital. The products ordered by the United States will impact the markets of the two countries. In turn, the cheap products of the two countries will also impact the low-end industrial chain on the US side.

Even more difficult is the problem of population mobility.

Once the trade agreement is signed, the number of Mexicans who smuggle into the United States will explode. After these Mexicans arrive in the United States, they will have a major impact on local security. Not to mention the surge in crime rates, they will also conflict with locals in order to find jobs.

There have been riots against NAFTA in many places, especially supported by middle- and lower-class Americans.

"No trade deal, Mexico

There will be no fewer people smuggling from Mexico! Sean disagreed.

"Of course, we all know that you are right, but the problem is that the public doesn't see it that way!" Old Bu Tanshou said, "In the past, smuggling was not quantifiable, and there was no way to attribute the problem of smuggling to any problem. There's an agreement."

Sean immediately understood that in the job market, Mexicans were robbing blacks, whites at the bottom, and Asians, and the contradictions were irreconcilable.

The accumulated grievances of the people began to vent after they found an outlet, which makes no sense at this time.

In order to vote, congressmen must publicly stand up against this agreement. Those Mexicans cannot obtain American citizenship and cannot vote at all.

"There are still many low-tech factories that will be relocated to the two countries, with low labor costs and low tax rates. This will cause many Americans to lose their jobs, which is very troublesome." The gully on Old Bu's face is full of helplessness.

Is a good thing, can not push.

"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 have such high sentiments that they cannot be bribed!" Sean curled his lips. He didn't believe in the morals of American politicians either.

"That's impossible!" Old Bu shook his head directly, "How much does it cost to buy it? How will the money be paid? What name?"

A series of questions hit him, and Sean was in a daze for a moment, slapped his thigh, and forgot. Every penny of the U.S. government's money must have a clear destination, and it must be reasonable and legal, at least on a legal level, no faults can be found.

There are a lot of people, not to mention the rivals of the Xiang Party and the Donkey Party. This kind of thing cannot be hidden. Spending money to bribe politicians in neighboring countries is a scandal. If it is exposed, the Xiang Party and Bush will lose their faces! Bribery is a crime in the US…

"That can remind those interested parties to do it, such as ADM. Once the trade agreement is signed, at least Mexico's grain industry will completely collapse, and they will get countless benefits." Sean suggested an idea.

"The problem is that no one is willing. If there is no unexpected benefit from money, it would be an astronomical figure to just throw money at it. It is not something that the president of Mexico or Canada can decide to sign alone. How many people do you have to buy?" Old Bu squinted at Sean and said.

Xiao En blinked his eyes, looked at Old Bu, and then looked at Xiao Bu who had been silent but his eyes were full of smiles. He felt bad all of a sudden, he pouted his buttocks, hugged the chair and took a few steps back , distanced himself from Lao Bu, and said vigilantly: "Don't get me wrong, I can't control this matter, don't be kidding, this kind of thing that the US government can't solve, who am I!"

"He De He Neng, I thank Uncle Bush for telling me so much, I'm still young, sorry, let's go!" Saying that, Sean stood up and was about to go out.

Xiao Bu couldn't hold back Xiao Bu's reaction, he burst out laughing, he didn't sit still, he came up a few steps and hugged Xiao En, regardless of Xiao En's struggle, he pulled back forcefully. "Let go of me, don't do it, Gong is a woman!!" Sean shook his head, scratched his neck and shouted, his voice was shrill, and the room was filled with joyful air.

After making a fuss for a while, Sean sat down again and looked at Lao Bu with a mournful face, "Why!" Time is running out, I have to make some achievements." Then, Lao Bu sighed, "The Gulf War started early!"

If it is fought during the next general election, with the prestige of victory, it is enough to cover up the problems in economic development. Lao Bu's re-election is a certainty.

Time also, fate also!

After talking about this, what else can Sean do?

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

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

Even the US government can't do it in a decent way, so it can only follow crooked ways.

Thinking about it, thinking about it, Xiao En really sorted out some ideas. UU reading www.uukanshu. com Start with what you are best at, what is your best at?

robbery?

blackmail?

threaten?

blackmail?

Nonsence!

Neither, I, Sean, honest, honest, gentleman, nuclear-loving...peaceful! I don't know much about Canada, but Mexico…

South American cocaine was collected in Colombia, then transported from Colombia to Mexico, and then entered the United States from here. There is also a huge amount of drugs. Sean can get accurate information on the entire industrial chain.

Mexican drug criminals are not worse than Colombian drug criminals, but are Mexican officials cleaner than Colombian ones?

The water here is very deep!

But no matter how deep the water is, is there anything Sean can't get to the bottom of?

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

Turning around in his mind for a few times, Sean looked up at Old Bu, and said sincerely: "Since Uncle Bush has spoken, I will be bankrupt, and this matter must be handled properly by Uncle. Give it to me!"

"I really don't have any connections in Canada."

"Okay!" Old Bu patted Sean on the shoulder excitedly, "I knew, Sean, you will never let me down!"
