——————

This US$50 billion will greatly promote the development of Somalia in the future.It is not too much to describe it as sending charcoal in the snow.To put it bluntly, with these 50 billion, Li Lan can at least save a year of fighting.And this year is the most critical for Somalia.

Nowadays, if we have this 50 billion US dollars, we can mobilize the construction enthusiasm of millions of Somalis.

If the US$50 billion is converted into Somali shillings, according to the international currency exchange mechanism controlled by the Somali government, under the condition of government credit guarantee, it can be converted into 400 billion Somali shillings.

At present, the per capita annual income of Somalia is only about 16,000 Somali shillings.These 400 billion Somali shillings are equivalent to the total per capita income of Somalia for more than two years.

As for the exchange rate between the Somali shilling and the U.S. dollar, it needs to be regulated by the Somali government.

Why is the exchange rate of Somali shilling to U.S. dollar to eight yuan per U.S. dollar?In fact, I really want to make it clear, I am afraid that even Greenspan will not be able to do it. After all, in the past 200 years or farther away, more than 400 years ago, when the British economist Gresham proposed the Gresham rule of bad money driving out good money. The issue of currency value began to be discussed, and even Simmel in Germany raised the issue of currency to a philosophical point of view. So many people discussed this issue, and various theories emerged in endlessly. No one knew how to say all the details. .

At the earliest, the relative value of a country's currency (paper money) was determined by the country's gold reserves, which was called the gold standard system.This situation dates from the 15th and 16th centuries.Paper money appeared in the world until the middle of the 20th century. At that time, when that country had a lot of gold, that country’s currency was worth money-whether it was metal coins, bank notes, or paper money.In fact, when the world enters the age of industrialization, which country has more energy, the currency of that country will become more valuable. The currency value of the oil-producing countries in the Middle East is formed under this situation.

After the Second World War, because the United States had the strongest economic strength, the US dollar and gold were forced to be linked to each other, and the exchange rate was agreed to be 28 US dollars for 1 ounce of gold.Other currencies are also pegged to the US dollar (actually they are all pegged to gold).This formed the Bretton Woods monetary system, a global monetary system dominated by the US dollar.

After the 1970s, with the economic recovery of Western countries, the Bretton Woods monetary system collapsed.The floating exchange rate replaced the fixed exchange rate system.At the beginning, the exchange rate of a country's currency was changed in the price of the Bretton Woods monetary system according to the needs of international trade.

later.Everyone thinks that this is not in line with the needs of national or regional economic development.Therefore, purchasing power parity is used to determine the currency exchange rate. Of course, purchasing power parity theory can only theoretically explain the exchange rate that a currency should have. The market exchange rate is another matter.So in the mid-1980s, the purchasing power parity theory was replaced by the neoclassical trade theory (comprehensive evaluation of trade, interest rate differentials, and central bank bill volume).

In the mid-1970s, the financial market transaction theory was quickly established, which included the redefinition and practical verification of the efficient market theory (the theory of the market inclusive of everything), the establishment and practical verification of the option pricing theory model, including modern The management theory of banks and global finance. At this time, the market exchange rate decision often depends on two aspects:

First, the currency issuing authority’s mandatory exchange rate pricing for currencies and the allowable range of fluctuations in this pricing, such as Chinese yuan, New Taiwan dollar, Hong Kong dollar, Malaysian ringgit, Argentine peso, etc., although these currencies are not circulated, they are in trade Under the conditions, they still have to exchange.As for fully convertible currencies, such as the Japanese yen, the euro, the British pound, etc., although their issuing authority does not mandate exchange rates and exchange rate fluctuation ranges, they all have a bottom line. What is the highest and lowest exchange rate of the currency? How much, beyond the bottom line, the currency issuing authority or the government of its closest trading partner will intervene, the most obvious being the yen. When the yen is close to 100, the Japanese government will intervene, and when the yen exceeds 130, Other Asian countries will be unhappy and will negotiate with the Japanese government and even buy large amounts of yen quietly.

Second, in the market, large institutions and banks decide their exchange rate quotations based on the foreign exchange assets they hold and the market risks, interest rate risks, and policy risks they bear. This is because financial institutions require Ensure the safety and liquidity of their funds. As for profitability, profitability is only considered after the safety and liquidity are guaranteed. Small institutions and banks are based on their prices when they are flattened to large banks while avoiding risks. Determine your own exchange rate quotation.

The exchange rate between the Somali shilling and the U.S. dollar is the value of the Somali shilling determined by Li Lan. Under strict control, unless it is to stimulate the economy appropriately, the printing of new currencies is subject to the strictest control.Not to mention that as much money as Li Lan likes to print, because the value of the industry cannot rise, printing more banknotes will naturally depreciate rapidly as banknotes.

Previously, it was because of funding that the construction of infrastructure projects became slow.Somalia does not have steel or technology to build basic projects, but it is because the economy of Somalia has not improved, many large-scale basic projects cannot be implemented.

Now, these are not problems. With this funding, all large-scale projects can be discontinued for construction within a year or so.

Originally thought that he could pay off the debt he owed to the country before, but now Li Lan feels that he owes too much to the motherland.He is not a fool, and Chief No. 1 cannot really want to support the construction of Somalia. Even if he wants to help Somalia, he will not give so much in one breath.

Everything is because he is a Chinese.A Chinese who was able to make a big noise all over the world at first, and owning a country, also has a huge influence in the surrounding area and the world.Chief No. 1 is a further investment, and he hopes that Li Lan will grow up faster.Before China completely transforms its domestic bubble economy and pushes its military construction to a very stable stage, Somalia can stand in front of China and attract the attention of a part of the world.

On the other hand, the No. 1 Chief also hopes that Li Lan can maintain his reputation in Somalia for a long time. If it were not for the support of Li Lan from Somalis, he would not use so much money to help Somalia.

After all, Li Lan is still a Chinese. If he doesn't have such a high approval rating, Chief One has to weigh how long Li Lan can influence in Somalia.The current situation seems.Everything is moving in a good direction.

and so.In the opinion of Chief One, it is worthwhile to spend 50 billion to build a powerful close assistant.

"Maybe we can slowly compensate for the country's efforts now." Li Lan put away her mobile phone and closed the sales backstage of Future Technology Group.Open the control panel and base map.

"Assistant. Show all the oil fields around Somalia. Further confirm reserves."

When you open the control panel, a circle that can be built is naturally presented on the map.Following his order, oil fields within a construction radius of two hundred kilometers began to be marked.Li Lan has always been developing oil on land, but he has never developed offshore oil fields.

The construction units responsible for the two sub-bases are the construction of oil wells and oil refining units, which serve as an important source of fuel reserves for the base.

After more than two years of construction, oil fields within a construction area of ​​two hundred kilometers are under development. At present, the base can obtain 800,000 barrels of crude oil every day, which is equivalent to an annual production of about 50 million tons. Oil refining is also being followed up. in.This number is far from the fastest in the development of oil fields around the base.

According to the scan results of the base, the oilfields in the entire Somalia area, at the time of maximum development, will have a production of more than 10 million barrels per day, and the annual production volume will reach 600 million tons. There is no problem at all.

Under the exploration of the base, a large area of ​​heavy oil belt on the Somali continental shelf in the Gulf of Aden is located under the upper salt layer of the earth, covering an area of ​​more than 60,000 square kilometers. This heavy oil belt has at least 200 billion barrels of reserves, which can be called The third largest oil field discovered by mankind in the world.

At the same time, under a large barren plain between Erigaboo and Galkayo, there is a large deep oil field with high development value. At present, part of the oil source of the base comes from this oil field, and it is estimated that there will be at least 400 Billion barrels of reserves.

For these two oil fields alone, once large-scale development is completed, Somalia’s crude oil production can be easily increased to 5 million barrels a day. If fully developed, the heavy oil fields on the Somalia continental shelf will be used for calculation. The output will not be less than 10 million barrels.

In central Somalia, in the bottom of the gods below Galkayo, there is the world's largest oil sands zone, which extends to a large area of ​​Ethiopia.Previously, 95% of the world’s proven oil sands resources were concentrated in Canada.Its proven oil sands and heavy oil resources amount to 400 billion cubic meters (2.5 trillion barrels of crude oil), which is equivalent to the oil reserves of the entire Middle East.At present, Canada has a total of 26 oil sands projects in Alberta into production, with a total production scale of 830,000 barrels per day, accounting for 43% of Canadian oil production.

And this oil sands field in Somalia is called the most valuable oil sands field in the world by the base, with a reserve of no less than 280 billion cubic meters. That is to say, once the oil sands field reserves here are determined, the oil sands fields currently discovered in the world, Forty% are in Somalia.

Although it is very difficult to extract oil sand fields, many countries have the ability to extract oil. The scientific and technological drilling wells of the base can also solve the difficulty of oil sand field extraction.However, a large part of this oil sands field is in Ethiopia. If Li Lan wants to fully develop it, he must first have enough base construction scope, and secondly, he must obtain this piece of land.

In particular, the whole world knows that there is a lot of oil in Somalia, but Li Lan will complete these tasks and bring all the big oil fields into the legal sovereignty of Somalia before it is specifically proven.

At present, government departments are submitting documents to the United Nations on the re-division of the Somalia economic zone. Li Lan is not at all polite to the exclusive economic zone on the Gulf of Aden. The opposite is Yemen. Taking advantage of the current power of Somalia, he directly delineated two Baihaili Economic Zone.Regardless of this kind of thing, the United Nations also asks countries in conflict in the exclusive economic zone to resolve themselves.

Naturally, the continental shelf does not need to be disputed. The size of this interest circle depends on the geographic location of your country.The continental shelf of Somalia penetrates deep into the Gulf of Aden, which coincides with the exclusive economic zone.

Now, Li Lan's job is to operate two sub-bases and start to build offshore technology drilling wells in the Gulf of Aden.

Offshore technology drilling and oil production platform:

Energy extraction unit, construction price of 2.2 million base funds, weighs 10,000 tons, and construction takes 120 hours.

Explanation: Offshore science and technology drilling platforms have a stronger ability to extract crude oil than land drilling wells. There are two parts, one for drilling and one for oil extraction.According to the reserves and depth of the oil field, each offshore oil production platform can produce up to 4,000 tons of crude oil per day, and at least 2,000 tons of oil.The platform can withstand the frontal attack of a super typhoon, can withstand a level ten tsunami, and has a dock and two helicopter docking platforms.Technological drilling of oil wells must accompany the construction of oil refineries.

Two additional defensive units can be built on the oil drilling platform, but only: machine gun bunker, sentry cannon, radar, anti-aircraft gun, and light tower.

Note: Offshore scientific and technological drilling and production platforms do not have oil storage capacity, but an underground oil pipeline is included. When constructing, please plan the route of the oil pipeline. The longest oil pipeline is 500 kilometers, and the length and depth can be freely selected.

Special note: Offshore scientific and technological drilling platforms must be built on land now. Jack-up and semi-submersible drilling platforms can be selected, and then moved to the destination for docking installation.The drilling platform contains equipment for drilling, power, communication, navigation, etc., as well as safety life-saving and personnel living facilities.The oil production platform also needs to be built on land, and then moved to the oil field that has been drilled before it can be used for oil production.

Recommendation: Please do not build high-tech oil drilling platforms in high-risk areas to avoid being occupied by the enemy.Once there is a danger of being occupied by the enemy, please recycle it immediately and get one-fifth of the construction price.

Offshore scientific and technological drilling and production platforms and surface drilling are not a concept at all, and the same is true for the delineation of bases. First of all, the output has directly reached 4,000 tons, and the weight has reached the terrible figure of 10,000 tons.

For this construction unit, Li Lan has given great hopes and will be the only main force for the base to explore offshore oil fields in the future.

Prior to this, he also made a special investigation. The cost of a drilling platform with a depth of three kilometers has reached two billion US dollars.The offshore scientific and technological drilling and production platform unit only costs 2.2 million yuan. In addition to the drilling platform, there is also an oil production platform. Li Lan once again saw the most human aspect of the base, everything is so cheap.
