Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 531 Old Shi: Is this never going to end?!
From Yu Yang's perspective, it's foolish for the Arctic bears to be close to North America.

But from the perspective of the polar bear, it can only get close to North America right now.

Because the Zahi faction lost power, the Walton faction rose to prominence, and European Judiciary became the dominant force in the EU, giving the Belgian oligarchs under European Judiciary increasing confidence.

Yu Sanyuan gave Ice Bear the cold shoulder, providing them with three electronic systems but not the weapons manufacturing system. He was always thinking of using supply and demand to exchange for Ice Bear resources, and he was also secretly exchanging glances with Ice Bear's C and Ice Bear oligarchs.

Meanwhile, Sanyuan Agriculture is becoming increasingly powerful, and the Yu bandits' desire for the northern lands is obvious to all. They even brazenly provoke the tiger by demanding Alaska from the world's hegemon.

In this situation, in order to maintain its internal rule and guard against external invasion, the only thing the Ice Bear leader can do right now is to get closer to North America.

By using federal capital to curb European Judeocratic capitalism and the Oligarchic forces of the UAE, and by exploiting federal capital's fear of the Tri-system collectives, North America and the UAE could reach a consensus on combating the Tri-system agriculture, thereby making the UAE government resemble India and gain the support of federal capital.

In fact, Federal Capital has responded to the Ice Bear government's approach with far more enthusiasm than ever before.

For example, in the energy sector, Ice Bear received $167 billion in direct investment from US companies such as ExxonMobil and Chevron for oil and gas extraction, refining, and transportation.

For example, in the aviation sector, Ice Bear received a $270 billion investment from Boeing and established a new Boeing production line in the Sverdlovsk region.

For example, in the manufacturing sector, it has received factory construction investments from automakers such as GM, Ford, and Toyota, totaling as much as $340 billion.

For example, it has received $240 billion in investment from American companies in areas such as wholesale and retail, and financial venture capital.

In total, in the first ten days of 2005 alone, the U.S. Treasury securities obtained by the U.S. Federal Reserve from the federal capital, bringing the U.S. Treasury securities held by the U.S. Treasury securities to a record high of approximately $176 billion.

However, behind the prosperity lies an increasingly fierce struggle.

First, there are the bear oligarchs.

They were suppressed by the Soviet Union's government using federal capital, while the European Judeocratic capital behind them was also trapped by federal capital. The oligarchs felt the crisis and, in order to survive, they tacitly united to plunder all of the Soviet Union's resources.

This includes politics, land, minerals, oil fields, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fisheries.

Faced with all this, the Ice Bear C knew that after the Ice Bear oligarchs' downfall, they would definitely be purged, so they secretly fueled the flames, leading to the Ice Bear changing its leader.

Second.

Sanyuan Agriculture canceled its Far East oil orders and took control of South Korean KS Group, which was in charge of Far East natural gas trade, forcing many oil and gas companies in the Far East region of North Korea to go bankrupt, directly impacting the economy of Moscow.

Simultaneously.

Seeing that Russia is cooperating with North America and receiving investment from federal capital, European countries, such as the Baltic states (Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania) that betrayed Russia, have once again raised the "Russia threat" theory, undermining EU cooperation with Russia while hoping to obtain EU funding.

Then there is.

Sanyuan Agriculture follows a collective and anti-capitalist approach, which has garnered support from many countries and regions that oppose North America.

Even if some countries and regions do not dare to openly support the three systems, they will still express their attitude in certain areas, such as public opinion and voting at the Mother Planet Joint Conference.

After the polar bears became friendly with North America, these countries and regions began to distance themselves from them.

If we add the three-system regions, such as the Southeast Asian countries, the five Central Asian countries, the oil-producing emirates, the 21 West African nations, and the EU countries close to the three systems like Greece, Hungary, and Portugal, including local chicken producers, Indians, and grain-importing countries that need the help of Sanyuan Agriculture, an international grain trader…

This is equivalent to the Arctic bear gaining North America but losing the entire world.

In other words, they were isolated.

This phenomenon is directly manifested in many aspects.

Just like at the World Youth Football Championship held in Peru this September, the Ice Bear spectators were ostracized and the players were beaten by a skinny Jamaican man.

For example, in the first half of this year, all of Ice Bear's foreign trade orders except for those in North America were cancelled. Even with the sale of grain and pork at low prices, no country that was short of grain or meat dared to buy them.

All of the above have brought about changes for the ice bear...

The livestock breeding and food processing industries that had been painstakingly established faced bankruptcy in less than six months due to overcapacity.

The ongoing weapons system upgrade, due to its proximity to North America, has lost the core support of the three systems' electronics, including 'the plan to complete the GLONASS system has been shelved', 'Ice Bear no longer receives data sharing from the three systems' combat platforms', 'Ice Bear has lost radar and communication integration technology support', and 'Ice Bear can no longer obtain the most advanced three systems' electronic equipment'.

Today, although the Ice Bear has received investment from North America and its situation in the energy, finance, and industrial manufacturing sectors has improved, its basic needs, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation, as well as its overall economy, have collapsed.

This even led to the inability to produce a single beer bottle, a pair of jeans, a down jacket, a plastic toothbrush, an air conditioner, and its corresponding remote control.

In order to change the status quo, the leader of the Ice Bears had no choice but to speak with Yu Sanyuan.

What they wanted was to join the WTO (in reality, China joined in 2012).

As for what to give...

That depends on what Yu Sanyuan wants.

...

After the call is connected.

"Mr. Yu, Ice Bear and Sanyuan Agriculture have maintained a six-year cooperation. During these six years, Ice Bear has achieved industrial upgrading and military equipment upgrade, reversing the situation of food and clothing shortages after the disintegration of Russia. Sanyuan Agriculture has obtained the Amur Agricultural Reclamation Project, temporary passage rights for the Arctic shipping route, development of the Chukchi Peninsula, and many technologies left by Russia. I believe that if we continue to maintain strategic cooperation, both parties will benefit even more."

"Strategic cooperation? Your family has already embraced capitalism and embarked on the capitalist road, how can you maintain a strategic cooperation with me, a collectivist?"

"The Novosibirsk region has massive natural gas reserves. Your country is developing the west and can fully utilize the Eurasian high-speed railway to lay pipelines. We guarantee that we will only charge one-twentieth of the market price as a resource ownership fee for the next 20 years."

“You are very sincere in stating your needs.”

"We hope you can help the U.S. enter the WTO."

"Any country joining the WTO has prerequisites, the most basic of which include the degree of trade openness, intellectual property protection, transparency of laws and regulations, foreign investment protection policies, tariff reductions and non-tariff commitments..."

"Ice Bear is making improvements and is ready."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yang fell into deep thought.

When East Asia was allowed to join the WTO, it was actually a trap set by Clinton. While allowing East Asia to join, he promoted carbon emissions, thereby restricting East Asia's development in the industrial sector, which was tantamount to locking in the upper limit.

However, Clinton was busy dealing with the Lewinsky scandal, and then Bush came to power and faced the plane crash, which required manufacturing artillery shells to launch the Afghan and Iraqi campaigns, so carbon emissions were put on hold.

The East essentially took advantage of a loophole, leveraging its accession to the WTO to upgrade its industrial base and gain access to the global market.

However, as a result, Dongfang lost many domestic markets.

If it weren't for Sanyuan Agriculture, soybeans, corn, cooking oil, chicken, beverages, alcohol, snacks, milk powder, electronics, advanced pharmaceuticals, and even telecommunications and banking would all be plundered by capital.

This is the price of joining the WTO.

The leader of the Ice Bear only saw the benefits that the East gained from joining the WTO, but failed to see the potential risks that the East had encountered.

Even the Ice Bear leader, because of the Three Elements Agriculture's dominance over federal capital and its easy victories in numerous conflicts and standoffs, overlooked the fact that the four super capitalists of the Federation were actually terrifying monsters who devoured people without spitting out the bones.

Yu Yang could foresee that the moment the United States joined the WTO would be the moment it completely broke with the West.

This is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house. When the leader of the Ice Bear can no longer withstand the plunder of capital, he will inevitably expel Western capital or confiscate Western investment.

At that point, the conflict between the West and the Arctic will be irreconcilable.

What followed was nothing but war.

Yu Yang was quite hopeful about this, at least his family could take advantage of the situation and acquire more land in the north.

However, in order to make the leader of the Ice Bear more determined to join the WTO, they need to provoke the other side.

"Joining the WTO is no small matter, nor can it be decided by a single member country. In particular, Western countries regard the three systems as bandits, and whatever the three systems propose, the West will inevitably oppose. This matter requires careful consideration."

"As long as Mr. Yu agrees, we will absolutely cooperate."

"Alright, I'll first use the oil country to test the West's attitude."

"Good!" Although the oil-producing country is close to North America, allowing North America to lease the Prince Air Force Base and purchasing tens of billions of dollars worth of weapons from North America every year, this is paying protection money.

In reality, the oil country is close to the three systems, allowing them to build nuclear power plants. The two sides jointly build an arsenal system and introduce three systems' technology, electronics, communication networks, online sales economy, gaming platforms, trade halls, etc. from Sanyuan Agriculture.

They were practically begging the Third Bureau to set up a 'concession' in the oil country.

Therefore, oil-producing countries were actually excluded by the West and never managed to join the WTO.

If they propose that OPEC countries join, Europe, having just secured joint defense, will likely not object; North America, already facing internal strife and needing external support, will also likely not object.

Thus, with the oil-producing country's accession to the WTO and the subsequent opening of the three new industrial clusters built over five years, the oil-producing country will surely shine brightly on the international stage.

At that time, the leader of the Ice Bears will probably be drooling with envy, and will no longer have any concerns about the Ice Bears joining the WTO.

After a moment's thought, Yu Yang contacted Li Changheng, the head of the think tank.

First, briefly describe the call from the Ice Bear leader and your own plan.

Li Changheng hesitated and said, "Boss, why do I always feel that the Ice Bear leader is brainless?"

"He's brainless, so he can't be the leader. But his abilities are indeed lacking, far inferior to the Empress Dowager who's been getting a lot of flak lately."

"What? Even Empress Dowager Cixi can't compare?"

"Old Li, although I don't like the Qing Dynasty and the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, in the face of the great powers, eliminated the eight regents and began to rule from behind the curtain. Then she destroyed the Taiping and Nian Rebellions and controlled Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, Zhang Zhidong, Yuan Shikai... Which of these figures is inferior to the Ice Bear Oligarch? She could probably crush the Ice Bear Oligarch into dust. The Empress Dowager was so powerful. Looking at the Ice Bear leader's situation, you can see the difference between the two sides."

"... "

"If you ask me, the Empress Dowager is even better than Wu Zetian."

Li Changheng remained silent for a long time. “Boss, history is written by people and is full of biases. For example, right now, the Labor Law mandates an 8-hour workday. Fifty years from now, people might mistakenly believe that we really work 8 hours a day. Therefore, the main purpose of reading history is to gain wisdom. I hope you will not waste too much energy on this, especially reading some obscure and unofficial histories.”

"I was just using a metaphor to indirectly describe the Ice Bear leader's abilities."

"Since the Ice Bear leader wants to join the WTO, then we will formulate a relevant plan. However, the current members of the think tank were all seventy-six or seventy-seven years old when they joined Sanyuan Agriculture.

Now, five or six years later, at over eighty years old, he is gradually finding it increasingly difficult to handle affairs.

Although Sanyuan Pharmaceutical has developed some drugs that can prolong life and maintain energy.

However, the training of the next generation of think tanks must be put on the agenda.

Currently, in addition to Liao Pengfei, who is in charge of Hong Kong affairs, Jiang Wenqing, who is in charge of Southwest affairs, Guo Xin, who is in charge of Far East affairs, and Yang Rong, who is in charge of North American affairs, we also need to find a group of young advisors to assist us.

"I'm already training people, including Fan Tao, who's in charge of the development of the private economy; Feng Zhe, who's in charge of the MT Group; Lao He, who's in charge of the military affairs of the 21st Group in West Africa; and a large number of new employees under close observation... If we really run out of personnel, we can just bring Lao Dong over. His old team from the Shili Camp training camp in the southwest is pretty much capable of taking on important responsibilities, at least enough to be in charge of an entire industrial chain."

"In that case, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"Thank you for your hard work these past few years!"

"It should."

The three strategic advisors are still very strong, at least in international competition, ensuring that the three industries are not at a disadvantage.

Unfortunately, people will eventually grow old...

Yu Yang hung up the phone and contacted the second prince of the oil country, informing him that his family planned to help the oil country join the WTO.

Upon hearing this, the second prince shouted excitedly.

...

10 month 5 number.

The World Trade Organization is holding a ministerial meeting in Hong Kong.

All relevant member states have sent their business system leaders.

Since Sanyuan Agriculture is a business, it did not participate.

However, Nigeria, which joined the WTO as early as 97, submitted a proposal to invite oil-producing countries to join the WTO in the name of the rotating head of the 21 West African States Group.

Subsequently.

The 21 West African States (WAS) lifted restrictions on France's resource zones in Africa, and France voted in favor.

The West African 21 group lifted restrictions on English investment in West Africa, with England voting in favor.

South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Myanmar, India, Hong Kong (the WTO was established in 95, when it belonged to England, but later returned to the East, and Hong Kong became a separate customs territory, belonging to the founding members of the WTO), and Macau (same as Hong Kong) voted in favor.

Japan opposes it.

Israel opposes it.

Persia, through the mediation of the three systems, proposed 'nuclear weapons sharing,' and currently voted in favor of the issue of relations with oil-producing countries.

The European community unanimously approved.

The entire Americas region unanimously supports it.

The response was unanimously positive in Oceania.

At this point, the WTO initiated the accession process for the oil-producing countries.

It is expected to be completed in 3 to 6 months.

But for the super-rich, time is money, and conversely, money can be converted into time.

Amidst various charter flights, various sightseeing trips, and various eating and drinking activities.

The WTO Ministerial Conference, General Council, departmental committees, Secretariat, and Director-General completed their review of the oil country in just half a month.

On October 20th, the oil-producing country officially joined the WTO.

During this period, global capital also considered pouring into oil-producing countries to make early investments, but all of these attempts were rejected by the oil-producing countries on the grounds that they were "under review".

Therefore, apart from the royal family, only three families have the capital left in the oil-producing countries.

Therefore, during the period when the oil-producing country joined the WTO, royal companies and the three major oil companies joined forces to list in Hong Kong.

Once the oil-producing countries officially join the WTO, the stocks of these companies will soar.

Since global capital is like a bowl of water, when this "bowl" tilts towards the Hong Kong stock market, the funds in the North American and European stock markets will inevitably decrease.

Therefore, the three companies that sold off their European stocks during the Golden Week holiday used the funds to list royal companies and oil-producing countries. After the oil-producing countries joined the WTO, they took the opportunity to sell their Hong Kong stocks, which had surged, and returned to the European financial market to buy up European stocks at the bottom.

at the same time.

In order to protect the European financial market, the Smith Consortium helped Sanyuan Agriculture acquire United Defense. During the Golden Week holiday, they reluctantly bought European stocks at a high price, intending to cash out and recoup the funds lost in the United Defense transaction. Now that the oil-producing countries have joined the WTO, European stocks have suddenly plummeted, leaving the Smith Consortium dumbfounded once again.

Then Yu Yang received a call from Old Smith.

The instant the call was answered, a roar came from the other end:
"Are you never going to stop? You insist on targeting me, ruining my livelihood, and making things difficult for me?!"

"Old Shi, calm down, what happened?"

"Almost all of my family's funds in Europe are tied up in the European financial market."

"It must have been done by the European Jews!"
