As speculated by the outside world, the two heads of state discussed mainly economic and trade cooperation, and did not conduct in-depth negotiations in the fields of politics, diplomacy and military. Even so, in the mouths of Western journalists who are good at making news without news, Ji Youguo's trip to South Africa still posed a huge challenge to the Western world.

According to reporter n, Ji Youguo's visit to South Africa was not the intention of the drunkard.

South Africa, located at the southernmost tip of the African continent, is not only the most economically developed region, with the highest GDP, one of the world's five major mineral countries, a regional country with a population of more than 40 million, but also an advocate and main member of the Southern African Development Community with fourteen member states.

The total area of ​​the member states of the Southern African Development Community is 9.26 million square kilometers, accounting for about 28% of Africa, with a total population of more than 200 million, accounting for about 25% of Africa, and its GDP is nearly US$2,000, accounting for about 30% of Africa; gold, tribe metals, copper, iron tin chromium, aluminosilicates, diamonds, oil, coal, asbestos, forests, fisheries and other resources rank among the forefront of the world; Namibia, which has extremely rich mineral resources, is also called the "strategic metal reserve library"

The real purpose of Ji Youguo is to take advantage of the opportunity to visit South Africa to carry out comprehensive cooperation with the Southern African Development Community

According to the analysis of the special commentator of n TV station, Ji Youguo will meet with leaders of major member states of the Southern African Development Community during his visit to Pretoria to promote economic and trade exchanges between China and the Southern African Development Community, and promote cooperation and exchanges between the two sides in other fields.

Then n TV released a news from "reliable channels": China will provide US$2.5 billion free of charge in the next five years to help Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Congo and other countries improve national infrastructure, and promise to increase China's trade volume with the Southern African Development Community from less than US$5 billion to US$25 billion, and invest US$100 in the Southern African Development Community countries within five years.

Once this news was released, it immediately attracted attention from the whole world

The main trading partners of the Southern African Development Community are the EU and the United States. China is even behind Japan and India. It is only a fifth largest trading partner, Kiyoko, to play the free aid and economic and trade cooperation card. It is nothing more than just trying to open up the huge market of the Southern African Development Community, expand the sales channels of "Made in China", obtain valuable strategic resources of the Southern African Development Community, and create a good foundation for China's economic take-off.

Western journalists with extremely rich imagination immediately recalled several policies implemented by Ji Youguo in the country

Five years ago, Ji Youguo insisted on implementing the "Strategic Resource Protection Law" officially came into effect. Hundreds of small and medium-sized rare mineral mining companies were integrated into three large central holding groups. One year later, as the world's largest rare metal reserves, the export volume of rare metals in mining countries and exporters of the Republic has dropped by more than 80% of the world's rare metal prices have soared tenfold. Because the Republic has adopted commercial means rather than policy means to control the export of rare metals, the United States, Europe and other countries can only express their dissatisfaction in protest.

According to relevant provisions of the law, enterprises engaged in processing, production and trade in rare metals in the Republic must reserve strategic resources for at least three months of normal production, and the relevant provisions shall; in the next five years, the domestic yield rate of rare metals will gradually decrease from 100% to 40%.

As the Strategic Resource Protection Act gradually promoted three years ago, the Republic changed from a rare metal exporter to an importer

In this year, as the world's second largest reserve of rare metals, the United States has been importing rare metals from the Republic to the United States to mine its own rare minerals, including the largest land in the United States. It was sealed ten years ago.

Another major policy of Ji Youguo’s implementation is to establish a “national strategic reserve system”

This "system" is not aimed at scarce resources, but is aimed at foreign exchange reserves. According to relevant provisions, the Republic will spend five to ten years to gradually get rid of foreign exchange reserves from the situation mainly in the US dollar, euro and other currencies. It will establish a foreign exchange reserve system mainly in precious metals.

Because it is the highest secret of the country, it was not until five years after its formal implementation that part of the content was disclosed to the outside world.

By the end of July this year, the Republic's gold reserves were 2,700~:+The proportion of precious metals in foreign exchange reserves reached 45%.

Although according to the general view from the outside world, before becoming the world's largest market country, the Republic will find it difficult to break the monopoly position of the US dollar in international trade, as the Republic gradually reaches a new trade settlement agreement with its major trading partners, the US dollar will gradually fade out of the Republic's trade settlement system. As long as the time is ripe, the Republic will definitely completely abandon the method of trade settlement with the US dollar and comprehensively promote the method of trade settlement with precious metals.

From the end of July to now, the futures prices of precious metals such as gold and silver have nearly doubled.

According to the view of most financiers, as long as the Republic continues to devalue the prices of precious metals such as the US dollar, gold, and silver will continue to rise.

In combination with the ongoing industrial associations in the Republic

Almost all critics and economists believe that when the Republic completed its production, it was when the world financial system with the US dollar as its core collapsed, and even when the world order built by the United States was reshuffled after the Cold War.

From this perspective, Ji Youguo's purpose is not just market and resources

After the official meeting, South African President Mbeki held a state banquet to entertain Ji Youguo

At this time, in Washington, the capital of the United States, Li Cunxun, wearing a precious evening dress and disguised herself, also walked into the venue of the charity banquet after wearing makeup and disguising.

After greeting a few "old guys" I didn't know, Li Cunxun sat down in a corner that was not easy to be noticed.

The host of the banquet is very funny and calls on everyone to donate to AIDS orphans and still tease a few celebrities.

The waitress carrying the plate came over, and Li Cunxun took out the envelope that had been prepared and donated $2,000 for such charity parties. It was usually between 200 and 3,000 yuan, which basically allowed the guests attending the party to get to know some celebrities.

In less than an hour, more than 400 guests donated about $200,000

Li Cunxun calculated briefly and felt that the money spent on the "entry ticket" was too much, so he had known it before, so he put 500 yuan in the envelope.

The president of the Orphan Welfare Institute, who accepted the donation, delivered a touching speech, and the party entered the stage of free activities.

After getting up, Li Cunxun sorted out his evening dress and saw Liu Xiaobin and others dressed as waiters carrying wine plates into the venue, walking towards several Wall Street "big guys" respectively.

The timing is right

Li Cunxun politely took a step back and gave way to a young lady. Then he walked towards the bathroom, and he did not enter the bathroom, but entered the passage outside the VIP lounge.

The VIP lounge is very luxurious and completely different from the stingy Wall Street tycoon

"Brother Li, the 'fat-headed fish' has entered the net, and there are two small 'crark carp'."

"I understand, I close the net in ten minutes." Holding down the headphones stuck in the ears, Li Cunxun quickly observed the situation in the lounge

"No problem, you have fifteen minutes"

Before the door was pushed open, Li Cunxun hid in the closet beside the door.

A big belly, with a "Mediterranean" hairstyle, blushing and red, you can tell at a glance that the old man who is often addicted to wine and color has come in.

If Nadick's bodyguard follows in, he will have to put down two strong men.

"You are waiting outside, don't come in without my instructions."

Hearing this, Li Cunxun breathed a sigh of relief. There was no absolute need for him. He did not want to use "violent" means to "persuade" Nadic.

After the door was closed, Nadick walked towards the sofa. When he turned around and sat down, Li Cunxun had already come to him.

"you……"

Just as he opened his mouth, Nadick was stunned because he saw a very familiar photo

"Senator Nadick, don't mind chatting with me?" Before Nadick could greet him, Lee Cunxun sat down on the sofa opposite and threw the photos of the stacked together in front of Nadick. "Although Miles is a Democratic senator and you are a Republican senator, as far as I know, your relationship with Miles is very unusual, right?"

"You...how did you get these photos?"

"It doesn't matter, I can also provide photos of Jonathan if you need it."

Nadic was secretly shocked and then calmed down. "Who are you? I don't know what you said, and I don't want to talk to you."

"Is that so? Do you want to always obey Japeer's mercy? Or, you don't want to enter the White House in two years?"

Nadic's fat body trembled slightly

"You might as well say, I'm not here to help you." Li Cunxun did not waste precious time. "You should know that free lunch is not much better. I am here to cooperate with you."

"Cooperate?" Nadic's small eyes narrowed into a slit

"I have the bargaining chips that will allow the Republican Party to win the general election in two years and allow you to get the party's nomination. You have the resources I need." Li Cunxun took out an envelope. "You can think about it carefully. If you think my proposal is not bad, we can cooperate at any time."

After putting down the envelope, Li Cunxun left the lounge openly

The hall was already in chaos, and several reckless waiters accidentally sprinkled champagne on several VIP guests. Li Cunxun took advantage of the chaos to leave the banquet venue, drove the car to the end of the street and stopped.

When he took off his disguise mask, Liu Xiaobin and others rushed over and said

"How is it? Are the talks harmoniously?"

"Very harmonious." Li Cunxun observed the situation around him, and no one followed him, "Did anyone pay attention to you?"

"How is that possible? The manager wants us to get out immediately." Liu Xiaobin took out a few small bills, "This is the tip I received tonight, let's have two drinks."

Li Cunxun nodded with a smile, not refusing his partner's proposal

damn it*
