Gazing at the beautiful face reflected in the rolled-down rear window of the Hongqi car, Sias Danp suddenly had an idea and made a decision that was not in his plans.
"Mrs. Lin, Mr. Yi, the United States has sent me to the great and beautiful China to seek some common interests and hope to form an alliance. As friends, I hope that you two can provide some assistance in this matter."
"If things succeed, not only me as a friend, but also the entire United States behind me will be extremely grateful for your help and will treat you as our best friends..."
Xia Yuwen hadn't even waited for Sias? But Pu turned his face away as soon as he finished speaking, as if he hadn't seen the person at all.
Lin Yao required her not to get involved in state affairs and not to make any promises to anyone regarding important matters. She always treated these two points as the highest directives.
She was immediately disgusted by the foreigner in front of her. She didn't even know him, yet he made a request so abruptly. This guy was shameless!
Thinking this to herself, Xia Yuwen simply closed the window, completely ignoring this "foreign friend".
The common Chinese people's bad habits of worshipping foreign things and having double standards simply do not exist in Xia Yuwen!
Sias? But Pu still showed no dissatisfaction, smiling as he looked at Yi Zuojun, as if trying to see through him. The situation in the United States was dire, and his trip to China carried an important mission, even concerning the rise and fall of the United States.
"I regret that I have important business to attend to and cannot have lunch with Mr. Damp. We can meet again when there is another opportunity."
Yi Zuojun politely responded to Sias Danpu's invitation, nodded and smiled, then shrank into the passenger seat of the Hongqi sedan and left decisively, without taking away a single cloud, but taking away the hopes of his foreign friends.
In this "colorful ice crystal storm" in the Bermuda Triangle, apart from a few countries directly facing the ravages of the storm, the United States is the country that has suffered the most severe impact, without exception.
With over 80% of its national economic output derived from the service sector, the United States has enjoyed economic prosperity for many years, and its people have consistently lived affluent lives, making it arguably the freest, wealthiest, and most comfortable country in the world.
In reality, the United States' debt-based economic model has enabled them to successfully borrow money and print dollars globally to shop, turning the world into a factory where the US can print money at will to buy products. As a result, Americans enjoy a paradise-like life of high income and low prices.
All of this was thanks to America’s best economists and government finance officials, who first used the Bretton Woods system to link the dollar to gold, then made the dollar the international currency equivalent to gold for settlement, and then recklessly exported dollars to buy countless goods back home.
After the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the major crisis that the dollar should have faced was instead mitigated by their diplomatic efforts, which made the dollar the sole settlement currency in the international oil trade market, thus enabling them to continue their unbridled debt-driven economic model.
A country like China, with astronomical dollar reserves, is a cash cow from which the United States drains its resources and profits. That's why the United States has never been kind to China, its largest creditor, because no one will bow down to their own cash cow.
The "Seven-Colored Ice Crystal Storm" rendered all human-controllable methods ineffective!
With the disappearance of maritime transport, the United States, having lost a large amount of manufacturing, could not withstand the enormous domestic demand. The American people, accustomed to luxury, could not bear the scarcity of goods in the market. Originally, all of this could have been buffered by obtaining supplies from neighboring countries that did not require maritime transport. However, to make matters worse, the world oil trade suffered a fatal blow!
Without maritime transport, oil trade becomes meaningless, thus impacting and shaking the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency. When the world suffers massive damage from the "seven-colored ice storm" and needs to urgently purchase essential materials with foreign exchange, it is inevitable that astronomical amounts of dollars held outside the United States will appear in the market.
The dollar, no longer a foreign exchange reserve, faced the problem of being redeemed, thus pushing the dollar to a dead end, and also pushing the United States to a dead end, which led to Sias Dempsey's trip to China.
The massive underwater array in the Bermuda Triangle absorbed countless amounts of heat energy from the Earth's surface, and the threat of global warming disappeared within just a few months. Instead, it created a global cooling crisis.
Food crop production has encountered severe difficulties, and agriculture in the world's major food-producing countries has been dealt a fatal blow, either due to climate factors or because national strength has been weakened and unable to quickly save the economy, which in turn has led to a fatal blow to agriculture. In short, global food production was in crisis in 2016, with total output expected to be less than one-sixth of that in 2015!
This situation will not be resolved immediately. In 2017, 2018, and even in the years to come, global food production may still not be able to recover, because the entire planet has inexplicably cooled down, and the icebergs and ice sheets in the Arctic and Antarctic have inexplicably grown taller and thicker, with no hope of a short-term warming trend in sight.
This is the conclusion of all scientists, and it is also a sentence handed down to all mankind in the world. Such low food yields will inevitably lead to the starvation of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of people!
Global food panic has created conditions for the formation and instigation of local wars and even a world war on a global scale.
This time, Sias Danp came to China not only with his trump card in international trade, but also with warnings from the US government—warnings of war.
Because China remains a major grain producer, wheat-growing regions can continue to grow wheat, albeit with a 50% reduction in yield. However, rice-growing regions are indeed the best environment for growing wheat. This strange phenomenon has greatly surprised scientists in the world's top meteorological, agricultural, and biochemical fields, but they have had to accept this fact.
With China also possessing pharmaceutical companies like Minhong Pharmaceuticals, capable of saving countless lives, the US government can no longer wait. It must bare its teeth and use either intimidation or coercion to force China to submit in order to resolve domestic problems and maintain America's hegemonic position in the world.
"Mr. But please come this way."
The reception officer, dressed in a crisp uniform, nodded politely, interrupting Sias Danp's thoughts. "Your bodyguard will remain here for now. Your safety from now on is our responsibility. Please!"
I highly recommend "The Representative"!!!
Book number 1798384, although short in length, will be updated regularly.
This book won't preach any grand principles; its purpose is to entertain and make it easy for readers to enjoy.
No protagonist abuse, no fake Taoist teachings, and no names like Beijing or Shanghai appearing. In the author's understanding, this is truly writing a web novel, because from now on, the author can finally relax...
Please save this page so you can find it later.
Thank you all for your continued support. Please continue to follow me. Logically speaking, I should have made progress by now, so I won't let you feel frustrated anymore (I can't change "The Elixir Doctor" anymore; changing it would be forced, or it would be...).
