As speculated by the outside world, the two heads of state discussed mainly economic and trade cooperation, and did not hold in-depth negotiations in the political, diplomatic, and military fields

According to the N reporter, Ji Youguo's visit to South Africa was not intended by a drunkard

Located at the southernmost tip of the African continent, South Africa is not only the most economically developed country in Africa, with the highest gross national product, one of the world's five largest mining countries, and a regional power with a population of more than 40 million, but also an advocate and major member of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), which has 14 member countries

The member countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) have a total area of 9.26 million square kilometers, accounting for about 28% of Africa, a total population of more than 200 million, accounting for about 25% of Africa, and a GDP of nearly 2,000 US dollars, accounting for about 30% of Africa. Gold, group metals, copper, iron, tin, chromium, aluminosilicate, diamond, petroleum, coal, asbestos, forests, fisheries and other resources rank among the top in the world; Namibia, which is extremely rich in mineral resources, is also known as a "strategic metal reserve"

Taking advantage of the opportunity of his visit to South Africa to fully cooperate with the Southern African Development Community (SADC) is the real goal of Ji Youguo

According to the analysis of the special commentator of N TV, Ji Youguo will meet with the leaders of the 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

Later, N TV released a message from a "reliable source": China will provide 2.5 billion US dollars free of charge in the next five years to help Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and other countries improve their national infrastructure, and promised to increase China's trade volume with the Southern African Development Community from less than 5 billion US dollars to 25 billion US dollars, and invest 100 US dollars in SADC countries within five years

As soon as this news was released, it immediately attracted the attention of the whole world

The main trading partners of the Southern African Development Community are the European Union and the United States, and China is even ranked after Japan and India, and only the fifth largest trading partner, Ji Youguo, plays the card of free aid and economic and trade cooperation, which is nothing more than to open up the huge market of the Southern African Development Community, expand the sales channels of "Made in China", obtain the valuable strategic resources of the Southern African Development Community, and create a good foundation for China's economic take-off

Western journalists with a great imagination immediately thought of several policies pursued by Ji Youguo at home

Five years ago, Ji Youguo advocated the implementation of the "Strategic Resources Protection Law" officially came into effect, hundreds of small and medium-sized rare mineral mining companies were integrated into three large central holding group companies, a year later, as the world's largest rare metal reserves, mining countries and exporters, the Republic of China's rare metal exports plummeted by more than eighty percent, and the global rare metal prices soared tenfold, because the Republic adopted commercial means rather than policy means to control the export of rare metals, so the United States, Europe and other countries can only stare dryly and express their dissatisfaction in protest

According to the relevant provisions of the law, enterprises engaged in the processing, production and trade of rare metals in the Republic of China must reserve at least three months of strategic resources that can meet the needs of normal production for at least three months, as specified in the relevant provisions; In the next five years, the domestic production rate of rare metals will gradually decrease from 100 percent to 40 percent

With the gradual extension of the Law on the Protection of Strategic Resources, three years ago the Republic changed from an exporter of rare metals to an importer

It was also in this year that the United States, the world's second-largest reserve of rare metals, which had been importing rare metals from the Republic, began to exploit its own rare mineral deposits, including the Mundon Pass Rare Earth Mine, the largest in the United States and mothballed ten years ago

Another major policy of Ji Youguo is the establishment of a "national strategic reserve system"

According to the relevant provisions, the Republic will spend five to 10 years to gradually get rid of the situation of foreign exchange reserves dominated by other currencies such as the US dollar and the euro, and establish a foreign exchange reserve system dominated by precious metals

Because it is a top state secret, it did not disclose part of the content to the outside world until five years after its official implementation

By the end of July this year, the republic's gold reserves were 2700~:~+ The proportion of precious metals in foreign exchange reserves reached 45%.

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

From the end of July to the present, the price of futures on precious metals such as gold and silver has nearly doubled

According to the opinion of the vast majority of financiers, as long as the republic continues to devalue the dollar, the prices of precious metals such as gold and silver will continue to rise

Combined with the ongoing industrial knot of the republic

Almost all commentators and economists agree that the time when the republic completes the production of tt^[ is the time when the world financial system with the dollar at its core collapses, and even when the world order built by the United States after the Cold War is reshuffled

From this point of view, Ji Youguo's purpose is not just as simple as the market and resources

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

At this time, in Washington, the capital of the United States, Li Cunxun, who was wearing an expensive evening dress and makeup, also walked into the venue of the charity banquet

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

The host of the banquet was very funny, and when he called on everyone to donate money for AIDS orphans, he did not forget to stir up a few celebrities

The waitress with the plate came over, Li Cunxun took out the envelope that had been prepared, and donated 2,000 US dollars This kind of charity gala will not be a lot of personal donations, usually between 200 and 3,000 yuan, basically to let the guests who attend the gala pay a high price to meet some celebrities

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

Li Cunxun made a simple calculation, and felt that the money spent on the "admission ticket" was too much, so he knew it earlier, so he put 500 yuan in the envelope

The director of the orphanage who accepted the donation delivered a touching and tearful speech, and the party entered the stage of free activities

After getting up, Li Cunxun tidied up his evening dress, and saw Liu Xiaobin and others dressed as waiters sneaking into the venue with wine trays, and walked towards several Wall Street "bigwigs" respectively

The timing was right

Li Cunxun politely took a half step back, gave way to a young lady, and then walked towards the bathroom, he did not enter the bathroom, but burrowed into the passage outside the VIP lounge

The furnishings of the VIP lounge are very luxurious, and they do not match the stingy Wall Street tycoons at all

"Brother Li, the 'fathead fish' has entered the net, and there are two small 'crucian carp'"

"Understood, close the net in ten minutes" Pressing the earphones stuck in his ears, Li Cunxun quickly observed the situation in the lounge

"No problem, you have fifteen minutes"

Before the door opened, Li Cunxun hid in the closet next to the door

A shy old man with a "Mediterranean" hairstyle, a red face, and a red face that he was often addicted to wine walked in

If Nadic's bodyguards follow up, he'll have to take down two strong men

"Stay outside and don't come in without my command"

Hearing this, Li Cunxun breathed a sigh of relief that there was no absolute need, and he did not want to use "violent" means to "persuade" Nadik

After the door closed, Nadik walked towards the sofa, and by the time he turned to sit down, Li Cunxun had already come to him

"You ......"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Nadiq froze because he saw a very familiar picture

"Senator Nadiq, don't you mind talking to me, do you?" Without waiting for Nadick to greet him, Li Cunxun sat down on the sofa opposite, and casually threw the stacked photos in front of Nadick, "Although Myers 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 a picture of Jonathan if you need it"

Nadiq was secretly startled, and then regained his composure, "Who the hell are you?" I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't want to talk to you about anything."

"Really? Do you want to be at the mercy of Japel forever? Or do you not want to be in the White House in two years? ”

Nadic's fat body trembled slightly

"You might as well say it bluntly, I'm not here to help you" Li Cunxun didn't waste precious time, "Your Excellency should know that the free lunch is not much better, I am here to cooperate with Your Excellency"

"Cooperation?" Nadiq's small eyes narrowed into a slit

"I have the chips to allow the Republican Party to win the election in two years, and your excellency to win the party's nomination, and you have the resources I need" Lee Cunxun took out an envelope "Your Excellency can think about it, and if you think my proposal is good, we can work together at any time"

After putting down the envelope, Li Cunxun left the lounge in a grand manner

The hall was already in chaos, and a few reckless waiters accidentally spilled champagne on several VIPs, Li Cunxun took advantage of the chaos to leave the banquet hall and drove the car to the end of the street and stopped

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

"How's it going, are you talking?"

"Very harmonious" Li Cunxun observed the surrounding situation, no one followed, "Has anyone paid attention to you?" ”

"How is it possible, the manager can't wait for us to get out of here immediately" Liu Xiaobin took out a few small bills, "This is the tip we received tonight, let's go have two drinks"

Li Cunxun nodded with a smile and did not refuse the offer of a partner
