Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

He Yuzhu still uses other fake names and an American passport to go abroad. The passport is real; it's not difficult to get one if you have the money and connections. It's for safety!

This time we'll be traveling for a few more days, starting from the Mud Monkey Kingdom. There's nothing good here; the whole country has less than ten million in foreign exchange reserves!

Even if you take it, it's just a little foreign exchange, it's no different than having none. There's been chaos here all along, with people on various islands fighting each other.

The Filipinos have over 20 million in foreign exchange reserves, but they're all poor. We should look to the Japanese; their economy is really good. They get hit by economic shocks more than once a year, but they're still as resilient as cockroaches!

It's resilient; it won't die!

It's a really good ATM!

Zero-dollar purchases should start here!

Five days later, He Yuzhu left humming a popular tune, taking with him not a single fallen leaf, but the 910 tons of gold they had stored together, and foreign currency worth 1.5 billion US dollars.

He didn't take any finished products, but was pleased with the gold. He waved and left with raw materials worth 15 billion US dollars.

Instead of going to the US, I went straight to Europe, where several major economies are experiencing significant economic recovery, except for the US!

Our first stop was Big Rooster. Adapting to the times, we bought a lot of clothes and luxury goods for the children, especially our daughter, two wives, and Martha!

The family mailed it back, and Masha's gift will be taken back to Niu Niu's hometown in a few days!

This place is indeed quite nice. The prosperous end of the "Glorious Thirty Years" is still there, but it will soon be over. The American economy is still strong and directly affects the European region!

After 1974, the oil crisis triggered stagflation, and economic growth slowed significantly!

The oil crisis has also had a significant impact on Europe, where there is still a shortage of oil fields. Richard's oil field should be ready to be exploited soon, after two years.

This country boasts a strong industrial base, a world-leading manufacturing sector, and ranks among the top in the world in terms of industrial added value. It is a force to be reckoned with.

It has developed international competitiveness in fields such as aerospace (e.g., Airbus was founded in 1970), high-speed rail (TGV research and development started), nuclear power (70% of its electricity comes from nuclear energy), automobiles (Renault, Peugeot), and electronics.

He Yuzhu's goal is to crack down on these industries, weaken their technological capabilities, and allow them to experience a longer period of stagflation so that he can catch up with and surpass them.

The looting and sabotage are carried out alternately, with a particular focus on targeting various leading technologies and researchers.

Can we rewind five years from the 'Golden Thirty Years'?

They also took various foreign currencies worth 3 billion US dollars, as well as raw materials and finished products worth 10 billion US dollars to Erdezi!

By 1970, Germany had become the strongest economy and most industrialized country in Europe, ranking around 5th or 6th in the world in terms of GDP!

Erdezi Manufacturing is known for its high quality, high technology, and high added value, and is globally competitive, especially in the fields of automobiles, machinery, chemicals, and precision instruments.

We must make them slow down from now on. Their technology conflicts greatly with ours, and they're not exactly good guys. Why should we let them off easy?

Do what the rooster does here, and I hope their 'stagflation' will start ahead of time.

I have made a great contribution!

Next came Italy, then the Bank of Italy, and finally the homeland of the Big Brother. He wasn't there the previous times, but for the sake of world balance, we can't let them off so easily again.

The key is that He Yuzhu needs "double-bang" and "equality for all beings", their AN602.

The West calls it the "Tsar Bomba," nicknamed "Big Ivan," and already possesses it. He Yuzhu doesn't have it and needs to borrow it temporarily!

Steal one "Big Ivan" bomb with the "Equality of All Beings" design, three smaller "Equality of All Beings" bombs that can be launched from firecrackers, and take away valuable oil, steel, iron ore, copper ore, and copper ingots!

There was also some gold and countless rough diamonds, rare earth minerals, uranium ore, and so on!

The resources here are incredibly abundant; even the Eagle Bandits can't compare.

Leave the coordinates here, and come back in two or three years.

I stayed here for a total of twenty-three days. It only took three days to get into the core area, but it took twenty days to take away various supplies. The checks here are too strict.

He Yuzhu was extremely careful!

Go back to Europa, to Niu Niu's hometown. They're really on their last legs, but the North Sea oil fields are slowly keeping them alive.

He Yuzhu didn't stand on ceremony at all, going in and taking all sorts of things. Then he went to our Great Eagle.

The matter has already blown up a lot, and the news has already reached the ears of the Americans. So what? They can't stop it at all. Do they really think that the 100-kilometer 'divine sense' is just for show?

Seven days later, I went to Niu Niu's hometown, feeling quite satisfied, to spend a few days with Masha.

"Hey, you've just arrived. Something big happened here a week ago, involving several other countries. It's happened before, but this time it's much bigger!"

They believe it was done by those uncivilized people, and the people over there are blaming us. They have also lost a lot of supplies and money, as well as unspeakable supplies!

The total value is over 20 billion. We have investigated and confirmed that they are indeed missing a lot of supplies, and some factories have already stopped production.

This time, major countries have suffered huge losses, and their economies will regress by three years, especially Germany and the United States!

"You seem quite dissatisfied with Germany and the US because of past events—which organization was so bold as to target these countries?"

"It's unclear exactly who it is, but what's even more frightening about this loss is that we've lost firecrackers and 'equality for all,' and I suspect the same is true for several other countries. Don't tell anyone when you go out."

"Hahaha, they're awesome. Which country are they planning to plant this seed in? As long as it's not us, we should just watch the show and not mess with them."

"Of course we can't afford to offend them. I heard that after this incident, both Aunt Cha and our boss were trembling with fear, and our economy won't be able to recover for five years."

Our situation is very bad, and we have made up our minds to withdraw all our overseas troops unless their countries provide more funding so that we don't have to pay for it.

There is also good news: our North Sea oil field is about to produce its first barrel of oil. The price of one barrel of oil is 2.7 US dollars, while a piece of cloth in the Middle East only sells for 1.8 US dollars.

Since the incident, the price of oil here has exceeded the Triomphant dollar per barrel, and Norwegians are also surveying oil fields. Are our plans still unchanged?

"No need to change. We are businessmen, making money is our top priority. What else has to do with us? Oil prices will definitely rise."

The oil fields in 'A Piece of Cloth' are plentiful and easy to extract, but transportation and other issues are a major problem. The North Sea oil fields, on the other hand, directly face the European region, so there is no shortage of buyers for the oil.

The Norwegians won't be able to start mining for four or five years longer than you, so don't worry about them!

"We've made a lot of money from the company you mentioned these past two years. The economy is doing very well. It's just that more and more companies in China are going bankrupt."

Their calculations suggest we might drop to sixth place in the world by next year, which is really bad news.

"Why are you sad that I didn't see you? Think less about glory and more about practical benefits in the future."

"Regarding your Dongda Group's involvement in the Malaysian events in May, the military reported that you have people with you, and your activities are very frequent!"

Niu Niu's news travels fast. He Yuzhu also had an excuse: "We've gotten involved, we can't not participate."

One offers us huge benefits, the other wants us to bleed money dry—you'd have to do it too!

"What do you mean?"

"The indigenous people want to increase the tax rate for Chinese companies by about 15% within ten years. Another group wants to reduce our taxes by 5% within five years."

Which one would you choose?

"With a 20% inflow and outflow rate, is there even a need to choose?"

"We had no choice. I've always been an honest businessman; they forced me into it!"

"Never mind, let's go to work!"
