> > Can you believe that the world's largest oil reserves have become synonymous with the third world? There is an incredibly poor country in South America. As early as 1950, the per capita GDP reached 7,400 US dollars. However, by 2022, the national minimum wage is only 9 yuan and 20 cents. It is Venezuela. A country that is a billionaire, but is so poor that he can't even pull shit! How could Venezuela be so arrogant back then, and why can't it go on now? >

Venezuela is known as a country sitting on a cornucopia. Its oil reserves are the largest in the world. Even Saudi Arabia, the richest country in the world with a piece of cloth on its head, has to stand aside. The natural gas reserves are the eighth in the world and the gold reserves are the thirteenth in the world. The south is rich in pearls and the north is rich in seafood. The per capita arable land is 20 mu, which is ten times that of China. It is a veritable family with mines. And what is the life of the Venezuelan people today?

It is said that every household should prepare a large cabinet to put money in. If you don’t bring 18 million, you are too embarrassed to go out, and you are too lazy to bend over to pick up the banknotes when they fall on the ground. Don't get me wrong, they have a lot of money but they are still poor, the typical "poor people only have money left". People can't help but ask: If they sell oil, can't they be as rich as Saudi Arabia? The root cause, but also from the British Shell.

"Begging for food while guarding the golden mountain" is the perfect word to describe Venezuela. It clearly has the largest oil reserves in the world, but it has become a headache for the United Nations. What happened to Venezuela? Did he offend someone who shouldn't be offended? Back in 1922, British Shell discovered oil in Venezuela. This turning point brought Venezuela's national development to climax. Venezuela asked foreign companies to share at least 50% of the oil export profits. In this way, they The per capita GDP of China has grown rapidly, once ranking fourth in the world.

But Venezuela does not feel full of spring breeze, but scratches the heart, why is it not happy to make money? They figured in their hearts that foreign companies exploited my oil and then shared half of my profits, not half of my profit, but half of the loss. If they can get it back and do it themselves, wouldn't it be To be No.1? It is understood that American oil companies accounted for 70%, and the United Kingdom accounted for 26%. Venezuela knew that these two countries were not easy to mess with, and also understood the truth of shooting the first bird, so it came up with Saudi Arabia's idea, thinking "there is a thunderbolt" It goes first, and safety is our priority." Finally waited until 1970.

Saudi Arabia really put forward the idea of ​​taking back the oil company, but the United States actually followed Saudi Arabia's proposal to sell its shares. Venezuela had an opportunity when he thought about it, but he ignored that Saudi Arabia had found a critical period for the US-Soviet hegemony, and caught up with the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in the United States. . The result of Venezuela and so on is diametrically opposite to that of Saudi Arabia , and we will continue to look down.

You may not believe that there is a country with the largest oil reserves in the world, but its citizens have to rely on relief from many countries. This country is Venezuela, a country that has played a good hand in shreds. As mentioned earlier, Venezuela followed Saudi Arabia and proposed to take the oil company back from the United Kingdom and the United States, but the method he adopted was very strong. He directly threw a price of 1.1 billion US dollars and told them: if you don’t sell it, you have to sell it. The United Kingdom and the United States are not vegetarians. Although the equity was eventually transferred, Liangzi was also settled.

Do you think the United States made Venezuela miserable? It's really not all. Before the United States took time to avenge its revenge, Venezuela had to play with itself. It turned out that when Venezuela was at the peak of its economy, it did not focus on sustainable development, but was used by successive presidents to win over people’s hearts to maintain their dominance. In addition, the cost of Saudi Arabia’s oil extraction was $15 per barrel. , while Venezuela is as high as 25 US dollars, and it needs to import 2 barrels of Saudi light oil to mix its own heavy oil during processing. Therefore, Venezuela, which has limited technology, sells it and finds out that it is sold at a loss!

In order not to stop welfare, the government chose to print money frantically, and finally made a result of one million percent inflation. It is understood that the price of a cow in the local area exceeds 100 million yuan, and a roll of toilet paper costs 2.6 million yuan. Isn't it because the poor can't even pull shit? What else do you have to add about Venezuela? See you next time.
