Of course, if Citi takes the contract itself, it will not be able to stay out of it when the storm comes.

　　 Even Li Changheng himself could not tell when this thunder would explode.

　　 And he also overlooked a common sense error.

　　European countries and island countries in 1975, because of import and export reasons, really need U.S. dollars as a settlement currency.

　　 But when the U.S. dollar is decoupled from gold and not yet linked to oil, the demand for U.S. dollars from countries around the world is not as large as expected.

　　 Sitting in the office of Citi's headquarters, Li Changheng looked at Taylor Garnell and three highly educated Citi analysts after three days of reporting on the prospects of subprime mortgage portfolio financial products.

　　 secretly wondered whether it was a push on the peg between the U.S. dollar and oil.

　　 As mentioned in the report, from the perspective of the total economic and trade volume of the United States with major economies such as island countries and West Germany, the United States has actually been losing money in recent years to support these countries to fight against the red polar bears.

　　 But even so, a large part of the real money that the island countries and West Germany can earn has been made back by major American companies.

In the end, the island countries and West Germany can earn between one billion and three billion. This makes the island countries and West Germany and other countries want to use these dollars to buy high-tech products in the United States, but they have to keep them. Save a large part of it in case you need it from time to time.

　　In other words, even if these allies want to invest in value preservation, they can actually put out more money into the real estate and financial fields of the United States than imagined.

　　 In this way, there is one less picker, and the prospects of subprime financial products may not be too high.

　　 If it is just a market of several billions, with a revenue of 2 or 3%, even if Citigroup monopolizes it, it will only make a profit of tens of millions to 100 million U.S. dollars.

　　 Not to mention, it is impossible for Citigroup to monopolize the market for subprime mortgage portfolio financial products.

　　 But as long as the U.S. dollar is linked to oil, the demand for U.S. dollars will explode.

　　 Even if it is a short-term investment of 3 months and collects some interest to maintain the value, the US dollars appearing in the market will be estimated at tens of billions.

　　 And once the U.S. and the desert tyrants reach a compromise, the tyrants will lift the oil embargo on the U.S., and the U.S. will use U.S. dollars to search the capital world, then the tyrants can use oil to search for the country.

For a long period of time in the future, the trade of the desert tyrants with capital countries will change from an annual profit of 1 billion to tens of billions, and even a surplus of hundreds of billions in more than 30 years. .

　　The desert tyrants who have such a huge dollar in hand and earn a lot of money will definitely be forced by the United States to invest heavily in the United States again.

　　 When I thought that it was only Sartre, in the next few years, there would be tens of billions of dollars waiting to be spent.

　　 Li Changheng immediately made up his mind to help the United States complete the U.S. dollar as a settlement currency for oil.

　　 Waved Taylor and others to leave his office, after thinking about it, he picked up a confidential phone and called several senators.

　　 After meeting, Li Changheng just talked about the benefits of U.S. dollars as an oil settlement currency, and he persuaded a large number of congressmen on his side.

　　 then promised that the large number of media under their Hearst will follow them and interview them in a large number of times in the future.

　　 This kind of thing that is obviously good for the U.S. and capitalists, can obtain a large amount of political capital, and can still show up in front of the people is a honey that politicians cannot refuse.

　　 Then Li Changheng secretly met a few big men in the Navy, hinting that they could get more military expenses while implying that they were involved in trouble.

　　 clearly stated that the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar will rise in the next year or two.

　　 It’s not difficult to find a qualified trader and make a profit of 20 to 30%.

　　 Of course, in the long run, the exchange rate increase is not all good.

　　In the beginning, a large number of countries had to buy a large amount of U.S. dollars to buy crude oil because of their demand for oil.

　　 The increase in demand for crude oil payments will inevitably lead to a shortage of U.S. dollars in the market, which in turn will lead to an increase in the exchange rate.

　　 U.S. dollars are more valuable, and for ordinary Americans and capital, it means that the purchasing power is greatly increased, which is a good thing.

　　 But since the U.S. dollar is linked to oil, the more valuable U.S. dollar will inevitably push the oil up.

　　 The rise in oil prices once again led to an increase in the operating costs of all industries in the entire capital world, and then the rise in commodity prices and the increase in consumption costs for residents.

　　 If the money in the hands of ordinary people is worthless, it will reduce consumer demand. The decline in the consumer confidence index has caused the US economy to show signs of slowing down and even recession.

　　 Then the exchange rate fell, the U.S. dollar depreciated again, and the Americans finally had to print the dollar bills again and put them into the market, using the hegemony of the U.S. dollar to search the world.

　　 If the U.S. people play a rogue, the trust of allies in him will decrease.

　　 After the polar bear falls in the future, it is really not a big problem to use this trick once or twice, but in the late 70s and early 80s, when the Americans were caught up by the red polar bears, they would never really damage their credibility.

　　As a result, the degree of US economic recession will be more serious.

　　 If it weren’t for the economic sector, the red polar bear was even worse, and invaded A Deputy Khan. It’s really hard to say who wins and who wins.

　　 After talking with the navy boss, Li Changheng once again approached Randolph Hirst~lightnovelpub.net~ after getting media resources.

　　 Then he called Benjamin Arthur, who had just taken over as the president. After the two had a secret conversation for a long time, Li Changheng was officially appointed as a special envoy within a few days, and he took Anne to fly directly to London by private jet.

　　 The negotiations with Downing Street ran into huge troubles at the beginning.

　　The English people are eager to get rid of the damage caused by the oil crisis, and now they have the opportunity to take a bite of fat from the United States. Of course, the lion’s mouth is open.

　　 Interest-free loans, arms assistance, greater and more comprehensive economic and trade cooperation and preferential treatment, coupled with a series of political demands, made Li Changheng almost throw the table off.

　　 Ending his anger, he left the negotiating table and left Downing Street. Li Changheng immediately implemented the preparatory plan.

　　 The next day at my own Castle Howard in North Yorkshire, I met Thatcher, who had just become the first member of the Conservative Party.

　　 This meeting was not kept secret from the outside world. The reason is simple. Lee Chang-hyung hopes to test pressure on Wilson through the Conservative Party.

　　 And Thatcher, because of Wilson's four-time victory in the general elections, even if each term is not long, the conservatives have to adopt a strategy to win over any forces that can win over.

　　 Li Changheng can not only represent the royal family to a certain extent, but the influence of the great nobility of England and local capitalists in London is definitely a force that no one can ignore.

　　 Not to mention that he is the special envoy of the US Headquarters this time.

　　In addition to his influence in the United States, to a large extent, as long as he has his support, the future election winning rate will increase by at least more than half.
