Chapter 361 Resources for Construction
As Yan's new pricing strategy began to be implemented, the international trade market fell into chaos.
The originally stable supply and demand relationship has been broken, and companies and governments in various countries are trying to adapt to this new situation.
However, surprisingly, Yan State gained the upper hand in this chaos.
Li Yang stood in front of the window of the spacious conference room, overlooking the busy street. His eyes were deep, as if he could penetrate time and space and see the future. Behind him, other participants were discussing the latest trade data.
"Comrade Li," an economic expert said excitedly, "although our steel exports have decreased in quantity, our overall revenue has increased by 20%!"
Li Yang turned around with a faint smile on his face. He knew that this was just the beginning.
"Comrades," Li Yang's voice was not loud, but it attracted everyone's attention, "We have indeed achieved some results now, but we cannot be satisfied with this."
He walked to the conference table, rested his hands on it, and scanned everyone present. "We need a longer-term vision and a more comprehensive strategy."
The participants held their breath and waited for Li Yang's next words. They knew that every time Li Yang spoke like this, he would always bring some amazing ideas.
Li Yang took a deep breath and began to explain his new idea: "An important problem we are facing now is that many developing countries need our products, but their foreign exchange reserves are limited. This restricts the development of our trade."
He paused to make sure everyone understood what he said. Then his eyes suddenly lit up, as if sparks were dancing in them.
"So, I propose that we can adopt a new trade model." Li Yang's voice is full of passion, "We can trade with these countries in the way of 'resources for construction'."
Puzzled voices suddenly rang out in the conference room. An elderly official frowned and asked, "Comrade Li, can you explain it in detail?"
Li Yang nodded and began to elaborate on his idea: "We can provide these countries with infrastructure construction assistance, such as building railways, roads, ports, etc. In return, these countries can pay with their abundant natural resources."
He drew a circle in the air with his hand, as if describing a global trade network. "In this way, we can not only obtain much-needed resources, but also help these countries develop their economies. More importantly, we can bypass the US dollar settlement and avoid trade sanctions."
There was a burst of exclamations in the conference room. People's eyes sparkled with excitement as they began to discuss this bold idea.
"But," a cautious fiscal expert questioned, "this model is quite risky. What if these countries fail to fulfill their promises?"
Li Yang smiled and answered confidently: "That's why we need to develop a complete strategy. First, we can choose countries that are rich in resources and relatively stable politically as partners. Second, we can adopt a phased construction and payment approach to reduce risks."
He swept his eyes over everyone present, and said in a firm and powerful voice: "More importantly, we must use our technology and management experience to help these countries truly develop. Only when they become more prosperous can our cooperation continue."
As Li Yang explained, the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more heated. People began to discuss specific implementation plans, and everyone felt an unprecedented excitement.
At this moment, a diplomat suddenly thought of something and said excitedly: "Comrade Li, you know what? If we do this, we can not only solve the trade problem, but also win more friends and support internationally!"
Li Yang nodded, a trace of relief flashing in his eyes. He knew that the diplomat understood the deeper meaning of this strategy.
"That's right," Li Yang said, "In this world, real power comes not only from economy and military, but also from friends and allies. In this way, we can establish deep friendships with more developing countries."
The meeting lasted a whole day, and when the final plan was finalized, it was already late at night. Although the participants were tired, there was a glimmer of hope in everyone's eyes. They knew that they were participating in a major decision that could change the world.
……
The next day, this new policy, known as "resources for construction," was officially announced. As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a huge response in the international community.
In a small African country, in the office of the president, the young president slammed the table excitedly: "This is great! We finally have a chance to develop the economy!"
In a South American country, the Minister of Mines excitedly told reporters: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. We have rich mineral resources, but have always lacked the funds and technology to develop them. Now, we finally see hope."
However, in Huacheng, the atmosphere was completely different. In the Secretary of State's office, the air seemed to freeze. The Secretary of State's face was livid, and the report in his hand was crumpled.
"Damn it!" he roared, "These Yan people are so cunning! Not only did they bypass our sanctions, they also won a lot of support in developing Yan countries!"
His assistant asked cautiously, "Sir, what should we do?"
The Secretary of State took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. "We must act," he said through gritted teeth, "otherwise, our influence in these regions will be completely replaced."
Meanwhile, in an exclusive club in London, several retired colonial officials were discussing the news.
"It's terrible," a white-haired old man shook his head and sighed, "The influence we have spent hundreds of years to build may be destroyed in just a few years."
Another old man showed a thoughtful expression: "Maybe, this is the changing times. We must admit that the methods of these Yan people are more popular than ours."
In a secret meeting room in the Kremlin in Moscow, the Russians were listening to a report on this new policy.
"Comrades," he said in a deep voice, "we must pay close attention to this development. This strategy of the Yan people may change the entire world situation."
"Should we stop them?" one official asked.
Maozi shook his head: "No, now is not the time. We should observe, learn, and maybe get some inspiration from it."
In this way, Yan's "resources for construction" policy was like a heavy bomb, causing a huge shock in the international community. Governments and companies in various countries are trying to adapt to this new situation, some are excited, and some are worried.
In Yan Country, Li Yang stood in front of the office window, looking into the distance. He knew that this was just the beginning. There would be more challenges waiting for them in the future. But his eyes were full of determination and confidence, because he believed that as long as he adhered to the right path, Yan Country would eventually stand among the world's powerful countries.
With the implementation of the "resources for construction" policy, cooperation projects between Yan and developing countries have sprung up. From railways in Africa to ports in South America, from highways in China to hydroelectric power stations in the southeast, Yan's engineers and workers have begun to get busy all over the world.
In a landlocked country in Africa, a huge railway construction project is in full swing. Engineers from Yan country work tirelessly and sweat under the hot sun. Local workers also actively participate in it and learn advanced technology and management experience.
The project leader, Engineer Chen, stood on the construction site, looking at the busy scene in front of him with a gratified smile on his face. A local young worker came over and asked curiously: "Mr. Chen, why do you want to help us build this railway?"
Engineer Chen patted the young man on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Young man, this is more than just a railway. It is a bond connecting our two peoples and the hope for your country's development. We believe that only when you become more prosperous can our friendship last longer."
The young man was moved to tears after hearing this. He held Chen Gong's hand and said sincerely: "Thank you, we will never forget the help of the Yan people."
……
Meanwhile, in a coastal country in South America, a modern deepwater port is under construction, with Yan's marine engineering experts applying state-of-the-art technology to ensure the port can meet demand for decades to come.
The local port director stood on a makeshift viewing platform, looking at the port taking shape, and was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. He turned to the Yan country expert beside him and said: "This is simply amazing! I never thought we could have such an advanced port."
The Yan country expert smiled and replied: "This is just the beginning. With this port, you will be able to better participate in global trade. I believe that in the near future, this will become one of the busiest ports in South America."
The port director heard this and his eyes sparkled with hope. He knew that this port was not only an infrastructure, but also the key to their country's prosperity.
However, the smooth progress of these projects is not without resistance. Some Western countries have begun to express concerns about Yan's behavior and have even taken some measures to try to obstruct it.
In Hwaseong, in a secret meeting room of the State Council, the atmosphere was tense. The Secretary of State was listening to the latest report on the activities of the Yan State in developing the Yan State.
"Sir," said an intelligence official, "according to our investigation, the Yan people are not only building infrastructure. They are also training a large number of technical and management talents in these countries."
The Secretary of State frowned, his voice full of worry: "This is more serious than we thought. They are cultivating future allies!"
Another official added: "To make matters worse, these countries have begun to trade directly with China using their own resources, bypassing the dollar settlement system altogether. If this trend continues, our financial hegemony could be seriously threatened."
The Secretary of State stood up suddenly and began to pace back and forth in the room. His face was full of anxiety and anger. "We must take action," he said finally, "We can't sit idly by and watch the Yankees expand their influence in these areas."
However, they soon discovered that traditional means of pressure and sanctions seemed to have lost their effectiveness in the face of this new model of cooperation. Those developing countries tasted the sweetness of development and turned a deaf ear to the warnings of Western countries.
Meanwhile, in the capital of Yan State, Li Yang was listening to progress reports on various projects. Despite the pressure from Western countries, he always maintained a calm expression on his face.
"Comrades," Li Yang looked around at everyone in the conference room, his voice firm and powerful, "everything we are doing now is not only for ourselves, but also for building a more equitable and prosperous world order. We must stick to our path, no matter what difficulties and challenges we encounter."
His words made everyone in the conference room feel excited. They knew that they were participating in a great cause that would change the world.
Just then, a diplomat hurried into the conference room with an excited look on his face. "Comrade Li," he said, "We just received news that five more countries have expressed their desire to join our 'resources for construction' program!"
Li Yang listened and smiled with relief. He knew that Yan's influence was expanding at an unprecedented rate. Although there were still many challenges ahead, he believed that as long as he adhered to the right path, Yan would eventually win the respect and recognition of the world.
