Chapter 1081: chain reaction

Iran stops exporting crude oil!

With this incident as a sign, the second oil crisis finally revealed that hideous face. Pull Niu Niu m

At this time, Soros also entered the market with Catherine's 30 billion U.S. dollars.

When Pahlavi stepped down, Iran stopped exporting oil for 60 days, resulting in a daily shortage of 5 million barrels of oil in the oil market, accounting for about 1/10 of the world's total consumption, causing oil price turbulence and tight supply. The sudden decrease in the supply of crude oil in the world oil market has caused a panic buying crude oil, and oil prices have risen sharply.

At this time, Catherine made a steady profit.

But it's not over yet.

Because the war is still there.

So when Khomeini came to power, he did not resume exporting oil, but began to prepare for war.

On May 8, Iraq sent its air force to start bombing Iran. The Iranian army immediately organized and cooperated with the mercenaries to resist Iraq.

But this situation does not seem so good.

Thousands of mercenaries all left Iran one after another-the miserable appearance of the Red Army, and Khomeini, who was completely indifferent to the Red Army, and did not even reassure them, obviously made them lose confidence.

Perhaps these mercenaries are not well adapted to large-scale wars, but their rich experience is an absolutely precious asset. On the battlefield, such experience is the basis for their survival.

So after these mercenaries left, the Iranian army immediately seemed as if the clothes hadn't had the shelves inside, and they were a bit empty.

Fortunately, at this time, the artillery designed by Burr began production.

These artillery pieces were designed by Burr during his wasted years. When he encountered Iran, he changed his research slightly, and he had his current goal.

So far, the Iran-Iraq War has completely broken out, and the oil production of the two countries has completely stopped. World oil production has been completely affected, and production has dropped sharply. There is a daily gap of 5.6 million barrels in the global market, breaking the fragility of supply and demand in the global crude oil market. The balance of supply is once again tight, causing oil prices to rise again.

The matter was not over yet, at this moment, OPEC split again.

Most member states advocate going along with the market and increasing oil prices. Saudi Arabia advocates freezing oil prices and even drastically increase production alone to keep prices down. As a result, the two sides had a quarrel, and OPEC lost its ability to regulate and control the market.

Immediately afterwards, the major exporting countries took turns to raise official prices. Add fuel to the fire.

At this time, Catherine was smiling happily.

In just one month, Catherine's assets of 30 billion have already made 5 billion in profits.

At this time, the Soviet Union seemed to take advantage of this shareholder trend to rise.

——Even in history, the 1970s and 1980s was a period of great development of the Soviet oil industry, and Soviet oil production reached its peak.

As a series of large-scale oil fields in Western Siberia have been put into development one after another, the Soviet oil production has been on the rise. There is only one oil field in Samoterol, which produced 110 million tons of oil in 1976! The Soviet oil production reached 496 million tons in 1975. Surpassed the United States to become the world's No. 1 oil producer.

Last year, in 1976, the Soviet Union's oil production exceeded 500 million tons!

When it was discovered that oil prices had risen sharply, the entire team led by Andropov immediately began to act.

In the first few months, there was no sound from the upper echelons of the Soviet Union, and this time has come. When the Soviet Union returned to people's field of vision, the Soviet Union had just completed another round of purge, and the result of this round of purge was Andropov's complete control.

At this point, the development of the world situation has completely deviated from the trajectory of the previous life.

After discovering this, Catherine had nothing to worry about.

Even after the Plaza Accord between the United States and Japan, Catherine felt that it would not necessarily happen.

Under the leadership of Andropov. The Soviet Union is now thriving and developing.

At this time, the federal government suddenly found Catherine.

No, it's not about looking for Catherine, but about Golden Dragon Energy.

As the price of oil climbed, the federal government realized that oil had become a very big problem. They need new energy.

Huh? Since there is a money-giver, why not?

After Catherine found out that the federal government had suddenly become so talkative, she simply laughed.

The chain reaction is not over yet.

Although the economic situation of various countries has improved with the Financial Act, in the United States, things seem to be something wrong.

——The US dollar has gradually produced a series of crises because of the time.

Affected by rising oil prices and weak economic growth, US foreign trade has slipped from a surplus to a deficit, and the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against major currencies has fallen sharply by as much as 16%. The weakness of the U.S. dollar led to a sharp rise in import prices, and the inflation rate suddenly jumped from the original 6% to over 8%!

Affected by this, many people looked at the model of Catherine and others building factories abroad, and they also learned a lot, and began to relocate their factories from China.

In this way, they can directly enjoy a series of foreign preferential measures and a series of policy support.

But in this way, the United States began to complete their journey of deindustrialization invisibly.

With the weakening of the U.S. dollar, the U.S. dollar was in crisis within a few months of Reagan's "throne"...

But at this time, Reagan was very decisive and began to act.

With the outbreak of the oil crisis and the dollar crisis, Reagan announced that he would adopt a series of "new economic policies."

The failure of Keynes's theory of demand in the 1970s made Reagan decide to adopt his conservative new policy.

The economic policy of tax reduction under the "supply school" fits Reagan's values ​​and philosophy of low taxation.

Reagan’s greatness lies in his ability to convey complex economic theories to the American public in very popular terms and affectionately, that is, reducing taxes, stimulating the economy, and creating jobs. Through the increase in economy and wealth, he can achieve a low tax rate. Under the premise of increasing national taxation, at the same time increase the wealth of the public. Most people in the United States accepted the "Reagan economics" of tax cuts because voters who supported Reagan agreed with Reagan's economic policies in terms of ideas and intuition.

Although the crisis broke out soon, because of Reagan's appeasement, the hearts of the American public have gradually stabilized.

Soon, Reagan introduced a series of policies:

(1) Cut fiscal expenditures (excluding military expenditures). In particular, social welfare expenditures reduced the fiscal deficit and achieved a balance of budgetary revenue and expenditures by 1980.

(2) Large-scale tax cuts, implementation of an accelerated cost recovery system for enterprises, and tax incentives for enterprises.

(3) Relax the government's restrictions on enterprise rules and regulations, and reduce the state's intervention in enterprises.

(4) Strictly control the growth of money supply and implement a stable monetary policy to curb inflation.

Of course, these are external.

And on the internal side. Catherine has already felt that Reagan is a good person-Beep Boy's purchases have doubled!

Reagan began to expand the U.S. military in large numbers, exchange equipment for the U.S. military, and increase government expenditures.

Although reductions in other areas have begun, but in military spending. Reagan increased the decrease by three times and more than that!

The simultaneous tax cuts and military expenditure increases have caused fiscal over-distribution and financial overwhelming, which will lead to new difficulties and imbalances in the US economy. This is foreseeable.

On the surface, Reagan said he opposed intervention. But actually did not give up the intervention.

"Roosevelt used the'New Deal' to lead the United States out of the depression. Can Reagan also use his pioneering'Reagan Economics' to guide the Americans out of the crisis of stagflation and win the Cold War? This may be the second revolution in the history of American economic development... "

At this time, the Angel News Channel and recently began to flatter Reagan unscrupulously.

If you have milk, you are a mother...

Ford has died sadly, and at this time, it's not a big deal to blow Reagan.

In any case, does the president of the United States always work for capitalists?

"The U.S. inflation rate rose from less than 2% in the early 1960s to 12% in 1976. 1 US dollar in 1960 was only worth 36 US cents in 1981, which led to a sharp drop in the personal savings rate. Although wages rose in tandem with inflation However, the United States’ practice of taxing nominal income instead of taxing actual purchasing power has caused wage increases to push people to higher tax levels. The increase in inflation and marginal tax rates has dealt a heavy blow to people’s living standards. This has made social distribution serious. Unevenness, especially those young people and the elderly who depend on fixed income for their livelihoods. This environment has also affected market investment expectations, and workers have begun to slow down. Enterprises have no intention of conducting research and development, and the unemployment rate will inevitably rise...

Reagan's story is still being reported in the news.

At this time, Catherine was temporarily separated from the oil market.

As a new energy company, Jinlong Energy was also favored by the federal government at this time. While watching the news, Catherine was looking at the prepared information below.

"Kate, this is the information you want."

At this time. Elsa came over with a stack of documents.

"Okay, make a copy of all, and then give it to the federal government."

Using data to speak is the most efficient. Catherine has prepared a series of "data" that will fully illustrate the benefits of new energy.

"Oh, although I made a lot of dollars. But after a few years ~ lightnovelpub.net~ will be worthless?"

Catherine thought of the oil crisis and the dollar crisis, but shook her head.

Unless there is a super-sovereign currency, the current dollar settlement will still be problematic after all.

Maybe... one day, if you don't need money, you can have enough influence?

Catherine looked at the report on the TV and thought for a moment.

But that is unlikely. No matter what Catherine does, it will not work without the support of money...

Now there are crises everywhere, dangers and opportunities coexist, and Catherine has no intention of thinking about it.

Time to make money...

...

Fifth change is done...

Asking for ticket support, the tickets are very weak recently...
