Chapter 1776: wood

California, Los Angeles, Santa Monica.
The production of Su-57 will not be completed immediately, but before that, the hawk's squeezing of rabbits was gradually strengthened.
Fidel stood by the window of his office with a cup of coffee, looking out at the hot streets and buildings. He had no thoughts at the moment, only a moment of tranquility.
After the rabbit publicly detonated the 'F-22 Lost' incident, the government and military of Eagle Sauce immediately messed up. Later, Valena drove alone to the Tokyo Bay, and it stretched the sensitive nerves of the Eagle Sauce to the limit.
As the CIA's senior intelligence officer of 'Retrieval F-22', Fidel had to be a scapegoat and assume full responsibility. When the U.S. military recalled all F-22 deployed overseas, and additional budgets were stepped up to verify its improved models, Fidel also decently resigned from the CIA. He turned and went to 'Rand'.
The well-known Rand Corporation, a comprehensive strategic research and decision-making consulting agency, has considerable influence on the Eagle Sauce government and the military. Fidel suffered a lot of pressure in the process of being a scapegoat. Entering 'Rand' was a little compensation for him.
Fidel's department is the Asia-Pacific Policy Research Center. To put it plainly, he studies rabbits.
The most famous story of 'Rand' is the war that was successfully predicted before the Korean War, and wrote an advisory report to try to sell it to the Eagle Sauce Ministry of Defense. However ... this story, like the ‘competition in the summer camp’, was fictional by some writers in China.
However, it is true that Rand is concerned about rabbits. They have conducted thousands of cross-strait wars and studied how to divide rabbit territory into four parts according to national composition. As for the other reports of curbing the rabbits, it was really exhausting.
Fidel joined the 'Rand' and took over an old-fashioned subject, 'The threat of rabbits to hawk sauce and how to deal with it'.
In the past, the Eagle Sauce military sang the "Rabbit Threat Theory" for military expenses, but this time it came. It is not when the rabbit will threaten Eagle Sauce, but it is already threatening, even provocative.
Many people in Eagle Sauce have demanded the government to sanction rabbits, and even madmen who have proposed military strikes are not a minority. But how to deal with it requires planning.
After a cup of coffee, Fidel returned to his desk. There is a lot of reference literature for his subject to be copied, but he still wants to dig something new to prove ... It proves that the current threat of rabbits is far beyond what people think.
Putting aside the current tense military relations between the two countries, and even the recent fierce hype between the two countries' military cooperation, Fidel wants to draw arguments from earlier economic aspects. He asked the assistant to obtain various economic data of rabbits in the past two years, hoping to gain something.
The ticking of the mouse button sounds, and one file after another is opened. Time passed in reading all kinds of reports. After reading about the documents for a week or so, Fidel suddenly found something contrary to common sense.
"Since six months ago, rabbits have implemented a quota system for imported goods. Since rabbits are already an important global market for commodities, it began to introduce limit imports and immediately caused great turbulence. The prices of raw materials, including oil, fell in response. Development is weird? "
The petroleum industry has complex relations and is very troublesome to study. Fidel did not look at the big item of oil, he chose the import and export of timber as an indicator for analysis.
Eagle sauce has extremely rich forestry resources. Ordinary Yankees would rather build a small villa than use reinforced concrete because wood is cheap. Rabbits have a huge demand for wood in recent years, and it is the world's largest timber importer.
But from half a year ago, the rabbit's timber imports fell like a cliff. As a result, the profits of Xiongda, Canada, Eagle Sauce, New Zealand and other traditional timber exporting countries have also fallen sharply.
Corresponding to this is that the domestic processing and export of rabbit wood has not affected at all, even increasing, prices are still falling. Several countries in Europe and the United States are scolding rabbits for dumping. It is necessary to conduct anti-dumping investigations-this is damn!
"Coniferous logs, plunged; Douglas fir, plunged; Hemlock logs, plunged; Spruce, Cedar, Ponderosa, plunged. It is strange that rabbits did not import wood from us, and also significantly reduced imports from Xiongda Volume, does it really re-timber the country? "
Someone has been studying the sharp decline in the timber market, and the industry is mourning. Everyone blames the rabbit for re-logging its own timber instead of importing it. But Fidel had worked with the CIA, and he naturally had other sources of information. The domestic logging volume of rabbits has not increased, but has decreased.
But what happened to almost all domestic furniture factories in Rabbit? The influx of cheap timber has brought great prosperity to various wood processing industries.
In the past, rabbits could easily sell one or two thousand pieces of a hardwood desk in the country. Even a set of combined furniture would cost tens of thousands, but now it is only seven or eight thousand with good solid wood boards. Factors such as labor, equipment depreciation, and factory buildings have not changed. The change is the price of raw materials.
The prices of various timbers on the market are public, and have been greatly reduced since half a year ago. Until now, it was only a quarter or even a fifth cheaper, and even valuable wood was only a third of the price in the past.
At the beginning, some timber traders thought that this price reduction was temporary, and immediately sold a batch of valuable timber. For example, North American walnut, oak, hemlock, etc. are very popular in the market. Many people even try to buy real estate mortgages, waiting for the price to rise before they can make a lot of money.
As a result, the price has not risen, and it has bottomed all the way. The point is that this price drop is not a problem, and it is a big deal for a year or two to wait for the price to rise.
However, more and more precious woods have emerged in the market, the quantity is hundreds of times the previous supply, and the subsequent wood supply can not be exhausted.
Hundreds of times the supply, how does this person called a stockpile live?
In the past, a piece of good wood was difficult to find, and was hyped up to the price in grams. But now they are full of wood in the warehouse and are in their own hands. Many people want to cry without tears.
It is just that the large supply of precious wood has really caused the furniture industry to ignite. In the past, rich people could only afford things that can now be consumed by ordinary working-class people. And this level of consumption can be more than rich people, and the market has expanded hundreds of times.
From a wood processing industry, many things can be reflected ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Rabbit is crying every day pessimistic about the future economy. The result was unfortunate for other countries. Not only was it not pessimistic, it was optimistic.
Timber is only a small branch of modern industry, and the wood processing industry does not have much impact on the national economy. There are many other industries that can be similar to wood processing, all of which are caused by a drop in raw material prices, which has led to a decline in commodity prices, which has promoted consumption.
With too many rabbits, consumption seems to be declining, but consumable goods are increasing. For the country, money is just a number, and the circulation and consumption of commodities is a real development.
The economic stimulus in the past six months has been accompanied by extremely huge social impetus, and it also has hidden secrets.
As a former intelligence officer, Fidel has always considered that listing data alone is useless, and must find the root cause behind the incident-so how did rabbits achieve a sharp drop in raw material prices?
Without understanding the problem, any report is nonsense. Fidel finally decided to go to the rabbit country to investigate in person, and he felt that he should uncover the secret.
