Chapter 647: Oil for food

Mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence are the basic principles of Han's foreign affairs.
The exchange between everyone is to promote mutual progress between each other and is a win-win situation. As for the internal affairs of other countries, oneself will not interfere.
"Yes, we welcome these basic principles of yours very much." Abel said: "We are in urgent need of food in our country."
The delegations of the two sides negotiated on the content before coming. Otherwise, the basic positions are different.
Han is here to sell grain and light industrial products. Everyone happens to be mutually beneficial.
"Since our country's reform and opening up, the domestic outlook has been completely new. Now, our food production can not only feed our 1 billion population, but we can also have a large surplus for export. We are willing to export to our brother countries. Alleviate your urgent needs."
People rely on food, if they can’t eat and wear enough, then the country will have big problems.
In this regard, Han Guo is quite embarrassing.
Before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Han was a food importer. A large amount of rice was imported from countries such as Siam and northern monkeys to Han. However, before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, once a natural disaster was encountered, a large number of people would inevitably become victims and die of hunger. Situation.
After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the domestic labor enthusiasm was soaring, and the new system was full of vitality. From 1950 to 1960, Han had net grain exports for 11 consecutive years, with an average annual export of 2.19 million tons of grain, and net grain exports accounted for the same period of grain output. 1.3%, which provides valuable financial support for industrialization.
But then, the three-year famine came, and those who had experienced it were most impressed during that time.
Since then, grain production has been maintained at a normal level, and Han has begun to import grain to meet domestic demand, and this continued until last year.
Last year was a bumper year. The grain output increased by 22.04 million tons and the net imported grain was 6.96 million tons. This year, the domestic situation was very good.
This year is the first year after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee in China. Except for a few secretly trying to "contract production", most places in the country are still communes.
Of course, the most dazzling one belongs to Xiaogang Village. This Xiaogang Village, which has never paid a catty of public grain to the state since the agricultural co-operation, paid public grain to the state for the first time and returned the loans it owed over the years.
Moreover, in order to increase farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain, the central government decided to reduce the base of grain acquisition from 75.5 billion jin to 70 billion jin, and at the same time increase the purchase price by more than 20%, and the purchase price outside the base by more than 50%.
And this 1979 was another bumper year, with an increase of 27.35 million tons in output that year!
For Han, exporting grain is no longer a problem. Moreover, even if Han continues to import grain, it can import grain from the West while exporting it to Sabbath, so that it can make money.
Hearing what Zhang said, President Abel, who was sitting on the other side, had a sad face: "Thank you to our friends in Han, who helped us solve our urgent needs. However, we cannot come up with enough funds now. Buy food."
The Sabbath country, a big oil country, will actually be short of money?
That's right, the foreign exchange reserves of the Shah is seriously insufficient.
Because following the violent relationship with the Eagle Nation, under the leadership of the Eagle Nation, the entire Western countries have frozen the Sabbath country’s overseas assets and funds of more than 28 billion eagle yuan, of which the Eagle Nation alone has 18 billion eagle yuan in assets, Capital, this will hurt the Parthian nation, and there is not enough foreign exchange to buy cheap enough food and light industrial products.
This is the situation now.
Hearing this, Zhang Lao felt a burst of joy in his heart. Fortunately, before coming, Qin Guan had already discussed a new plan with Chief One.
There is a serious shortage of foreign exchange in Han. Originally, Han wanted to exchange foreign currency by exporting grain, and at the same time, Han's oil was still being exported. Therefore, no one thought about using the oil from the Sabbath country to offset the purchase of grain. .
Han has no shortage of oil!
And now, of course, Mr. Zhang is going to look like a good man.
"It turns out that this is the case. If this is the case, then we can consider bartering." Zhang Lao said, "What can you export?"
Export? Abel's face was still embarrassed: "The only thing we can export is oil."
That's right, the only thing you can tell is oil.
Hearing what the other party said, Zhang's face was also embarrassed: "This matter, then it will be difficult to handle, we are also an oil exporter."
We don’t need the things you export. We are also an oil exporter. Everyone exports oil, and we export oil to each other for fun.
Zhang Lao is telling the truth.
Now, after hearing what Zhang said, the senior officials of the Parthian Kingdom present were quite embarrassed.
Qin Guan knew that it was time for him to play.
"The current state of Shah is in urgent need of food." Qin Guan said: "If no food is available, many people in the Shah will be hungry. This is not good, or else, we will use the oil of the Shah. , Come and exchange our food."
"Mr. Qin, what is the use of importing these oil?" Zhang Lao continued to sing and play with Qin Guan, and the two acted as doubles.
"Yeah, what's the use?" Qin Guan said, "We have to save it first and use it as a strategic oil reserve. This shouldn't be too troublesome for the country. Simply let our North Industries Corporation come forward."
North Industries Corporation, its current business is already import and export, not only exporting weapons, but also importing. Qin Guan simply used the company's name to collect the oil.
The other party was overjoyed: "Mr Qin, thank you for your support."
Although Qin Guan was young, he was already an important high-ranking official in Han. He controlled the arms trade in Han and exported arms. He has already achieved many deals, including exporting to the date palm countries. Equipment, these, many people in their presence know it.
Now, Qin Guan came here and solved another big problem for them. Such friends, they are welcome.
Speaking of the oil exports of the Shabbat, it is absolutely embarrassing.
Before the coup d'etat, due to the good relations with the West, the oil of the Sabbath country was mainly exported to the Western world. After the coup d'etat, on the one hand, Western countries broke off diplomatic relations with the Sabbath country, let alone import the Sabbath country. Petroleum, on the other hand, the Sabbath countries also greeted Western countries and refused to export them.
In this way, if one is not exported, and the other is not imported, Western oil will begin to be scarce, and the oil of the Sabbath will be stored instead. This is not good for everyone.
Qin Guan came to be the middleman, that would definitely be better.
