Chapter 1478:

"I don't think this thing is easy to handle, right? If you get the news that I will make money, I will pay for it. Then can I do the same? You seem to have won dozens of government projects. Don't tell me. Those who have nothing to do with your Skull and Bones, I also know that you will have hundreds of billions of dollars in income in the next ten years, do you think you can give us a little? Of course you would say that it is on your turf. So what about my site? You have contracted huge urban planning projects in Malaysia, and I think you can make a lot of money. I don’t know if this will be distributed to me? It’s unreasonable, I If you make money, you have to divide the money. If you make money, there is nothing about me. Then your wife gave birth to a child, would you ask me to pay for the milk powder?" Li Cong did not give this guy a little bit of face, if it was the previous When you came out from the direct line of several big families, then what you say has a certain relationship with your ancestors, as well as the relationship with your family, it will give you face, but now it is different from before. Yes, the current Skull and Bones forces are too complicated. Apart from being consistent in dealing with energy groups, the others are fundamentally different. m
The guy on the opposite side was choked by Li Cong and was speechless. He never thought that Li Cong would come here. In his impression, Li Cong shouldn't be such a talent. , Why is it so hard to talk about this time? They were very clear about the diamonds in Great Russia last time. At that time, Li Cong gave hundreds of billions of dollars directly, and he didn't hesitate at all. But what he didn't know was that at that time Li Cong needed old American forces to help them oppress Great Russia. Now it is completely different from that time. Now the two families are tit-for-tat. And this time it’s not minerals. Those minerals are long-term trading. These are all assets, a one-shot deal.
"Mr. Li's meaning is that we don’t give us the Skull and Bones anymore? It doesn’t seem so good. If this matter weren’t for our Skull and Bones’ investigation of the forces of the Three Ds, I don’t think Mr. Li would get so much. Assets." This guy almost didn't say anything about the hard work, and the dignified Skull and Bones had reached this point, which really made Li Cong look down on them. I wondered where the Skull and Bones were like this. Actually, Li Cong looked at the problem from his own standpoint. It is good to have a backbone, but the current Skull and Bones have suffered too much in all aspects. Especially for the giant octopus, that big hole has not been filled by the Skull and Bones until now, and the naval strength in the country is still waiting to be improved. If these things are not money, how can they become an army, and the old American salary High. This is also a heavy burden. In the past, a large amount of US dollars could be printed, but now the financial department of the energy group is staring at them, if they increase printing. Immediately, the tens of trillions of dollars in the hands of the energy group were directly thrown out. Then the hat of the Jinyuan Empire that the Americans have run for two hundred years may be directly turned into waste. That is even more a terrible disaster for the Skull and Bones.
"Mr. Michael, I still said that. We gave you each other the face problem. You didn’t give me face when you did this. I don’t have to give you face. These assets are indeed in your United States. Yes, although we have an agreement, I cannot interrupt your energy supply, but if you do too much, don’t blame me for being rude. I know very well that if I announce that your energy supply will be cut off, it is estimated that the whole The United States is about to be in chaos. Think about it. I still have things here, so I won’t be with you.
Li Cong told his subordinates to turn off the video after finishing talking. It is the first time that he has cut off the energy supply in so many years. To threaten others, you can’t use it unless you have a last resort. You have a lot of assets everywhere. Energy supply is the best amulet, but this thing can’t be used forever. It should be useless once in a while. It’s problematic, but if you use it too much, people won’t be so scared, and if you threaten it too much, people will die. Everyone is not a fool.
When Michael saw Li hanging up the video, he immediately stood up and smashed the precious Chinese Ming Dynasty vase in front of him. Millions of RMB were gone. Li Cong was oppression and power. They were old. The United States began to talk about this at this time. In the past, they often used this to oppress others. Although the United States was not an oil-producing country in the 1990s, most of the Middle East oil-producing countries were in their hands. Here, they threaten this with this threat at every turn. At that time, most people in the world were not less angry with them. Now the Feng Shui took turns, they have also come to this point, and they finally tasted those that year. It feels uncomfortable.
A few days later, the Energy Group handed over the deeds of the two commercial centers on Fifth Avenue in New York to the Skull and Bones. This matter was considered complete. The two fifty-storey buildings were worth more than 30 billion U.S. dollars. On Golden Fifth Avenue, each square meter here is as high as 150,000 yuan. This is still priceless. Basically, it will only be rented out. No one will sell this place. Although the Skull and Bones people are not very Satisfied, but it's better than nothing. If Li Cong continues to be tough, they can't help it.
Li Cong also asked people to sell all the assets of the Three Ds that were not very profitable, and finally obtained 500 billion US dollars in cash and trillions of US dollars in fixed assets. Some of the original company energy groups also found themselves. People continue to operate, and companies that have fallen into business difficulties will continue to use them if they seem to be useful. If they are of no use, they will basically be closed. The Three Ds themselves are reluctant to close so many companies. But the energy group is different. They don't care about this at all. For the energy group, it is the most important thing for the energy group to quickly convert these looted assets into money. As for the management? If the benefits are good, I am sorry if the benefits are not good.
However, there is a downside to this matter. It is the family of Miss Bahrain. In the past, Li Cong expected them to replace the Three Ds to help him continue to be his own eyes in the United States, but now it seems that the Skull and Bones have also paid attention to them. Now that the matter has just ended, they may not be interested in Miss Bahrain Theirs, but they will come to deal with them soon after they pass. Therefore, Li Cong needs to find a place for them. Li Cong himself said that he is a bit like the captain of the transportation team. Last time, he directly transported the Qin family out. This time he will help Miss Bahrain and the others move. However, this time, unlike the last time, these assets in the United States were bought from Li from the plan to prevent them from losing their hands because of their eagerness to sell. This is a formal transaction. The Skull and Bones knew that there was no way for them to transfer property, but they passed a law quickly that required a lot of tax money, which was no way. They control the state machinery. If you want to charge more, you can charge a little more. However, Miss Bahrain’s Morgan family still retains Morgan Stanley’s best asset, and his influence in the United States is also very high. The US government is not good at dealing with them. As for their future location, Li Cong was not asked to help them choose. They chose a place by themselves, where the Morgan Consortium was also very powerful. And it's relatively close, which is Mexico, a neighboring country in the south of the United States. Although it is chaotic now, there are enough benefits in chaotic places. Everyone is very clear about this.
The United Mexican States (Spanish: s) is located in North America, bordered by the United States in the north, Guatemala and Belize in the southeast, the Pacific Ocean in the west, and the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea in the east. The capital of Mexico City. Mexico is a free market economy, with modern industry and agriculture, and the proportion of the private economy has increased significantly. After the official establishment of the North American Free Trade Area in 1994, trade and investment exchanges between Mexico and the United States increased rapidly, which greatly promoted economic development and increased national income. However, Mexico’s domestic security has continued to deteriorate. Although it has severely damaged the cartel, the frequent violence has endangered foreign investment in the local area. Finance Minister Carstens said that the deterioration of security alone has reduced the country’s annual GDP by 1%. .
With an area of ​​1,964,375 square kilometers, it is the third largest country in Latin America and the 13th largest country in the world. It is located in the southern part of North America and the northwestern tip of Latin America. It is the only place for land transportation in South and North America. It is known as the "land bridge" ". It borders the United States to the north, Guatemala and Belize to the south, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea to the east, and the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California to the west. The coastline is 11,122 kilometers long. The Pacific coast is 7,828 kilometers, and the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean coast are 3,294 kilometers. There are 3.02 million square kilometers of exclusive economic zone and 358,000 square kilometers of continental shelf. The famous Isthmus of Tehuantepec connects North America and Central America. The country covers an area of ​​about 56 plateaus and mountains. The Mexican plateau is in the center, flanked by the East and West Madre Mountains, the New Volcanic Mountains and the South Madre Mountains to the south, and the flat Yucatan Peninsula to the southeast, with many narrow coastal plains. Orizaba, the highest peak in the country, has an elevation of 5,702 meters. The main rivers are Bravo, Balsas and Yaki Mexico. Lakes are mostly distributed in the intermountain basins of the Central Plateau. The largest is Chapala Lake with an area of ​​1,109 square kilometers. Mexico’s climate is complex and diverse. The coastal and southeastern plains have a tropical climate with an average annual temperature of 25°C-27.7°C; the Mexican plateau has a mild climate all year round, the mountain basin is 24°C, and the higher terrain is around 17°C; the northwestern inland has a continental climate. Most areas are divided into dry and rainy seasons throughout the year. The rainy season concentrates 75% of the annual precipitation. The average annual precipitation is less than 250 mm in the northwest, 750-1,020 mm in the interior, and 1,020-2,020 mm in the central Gulf Coast and southern Pacific coast. Because the territory of Mexico is mostly plateau terrain, there is no severe cold in winter, no scorching heat in summer, and evergreen trees in all seasons. The natural conditions are extremely superior, and it is known as the "Pearl of the Plateau".
The mining resources are rich. The reserves of 15 kinds of mineral products such as gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc are among the top in the world, mainly including gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, arsenic, bismuth, mercury, cadmium, antimony, and phosphorous. Stone, lapis lazuli, graphite, sulfur, fluorite, barite, fluorspar, etc. Among them, the output of silver ranks first in the world for many years, and is known as the "Silver Kingdom". The production of bismuth, cadmium and mercury ranks second in the world, the production of barite and antimony ranks third in the world, and the production of iodine and mercury ranks fourth. The forest cover area is 45.02 million hectares. Approximately 14 of the total area of ​​the territory. Hydropower resources are approximately 10.2 million kilowatts. Seafood mainly includes prawns, tuna, sardines, abalone, etc. Among them, prawns and abalone are traditional export products. The Morgan Consortium has a lot of assets in Mexico, whether it is on the surface or in secret, at least hundreds of millions of dollars in assets. The Morgan family moved to Mexico this time because of the mineral resources here. Although the mineral resources here are already in charge, Miss Bahrain believes that it is not difficult for the Morgan family to want to take it by force.
The Morgan family’s work efficiency is still very fast. In the second month after that incident, everything went to Mexico was done. During this period of time, Li Cong also had some conversations with the current Mr. Morgan. The Energy Group will Publicly announced the cooperation with the Morgan Consortium to develop some large-scale silver mines in Mexico.
To be honest, Li never looked at the silver business very much, but he has a lot of silver, and now the world's silver mineral is at a very low level. Each gram of silver is only worth ten yuan, which is one fortieth of gold. A kilogram of platinum is only 10,202 yuan, and a meal of silver is only 10 million yuan. He doesn't know what the Morgan family thinks, but since others have proposed it, what he may want is a superficial article, and he must cooperate well. The Department of Commerce of the Energy Group issued this statement soon. They said that they discovered a large silver mine in Mexico with reserves of over 100 million tons. If this matter is not announced, the price of silver could still be around ten yuan. After the announcement, it became nine yuan immediately. Li Cong is really engaged. I don't understand what the Morgan Consortium really wants to do. But it's not easy to say no to what they have promised, just see what they want to do. Anyway, it's just an investment of several hundred million dollars, and it's not just this money to throw a few at will. Moreover, the Morgan family is not so unreliable.
Mexico and Peru are veteran silver producing countries, and their production has been among the top 5 for decades or even centuries. Only in 1935 did the silver production of these two countries not squeeze into the top 5 positions in the world. Peru and Mexico still dominate the world by virtue of their 13 silver production. In fact, Li knows from some historical data that even the domestic market has undergone a major change in history because of the silver here.
Since the discovery of the New World by Columbus, colonists have exploited a large number of South American silver mines, and most of the world's silver is produced in this area. When the old colonialists did business with Huaxia before the Opium War, Huaxia's porcelain, silk and tea became popular products. They did not have suitable commodities to open the Huaxia market, so they had to ship silver from South America to trade with China. This led to a major change in the historical system of capturing currency in the Ming Dynasty. China has made a lot of money from overseas trade, and replaced the single standard of copper and paper money with silver and copper. This had a great impact on the society and economy of China at that time.
First of all, China's traditional single currency system that combines copper money and paper money has undergone a fundamental change. Although silver in the past has become currency very early, its attributes are mostly limited to storage, and the role of copper flowing media has not gained application status. After a large number of silver dollars from the Spanish colonies flowed into China in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the status of silver in China’s currency system was greatly improved, and the government’s policy of levying silver in taxation further enhanced the important role of silver in the social economy, resulting in silver in the country. The irreplaceable role of paper money and copper money is riding on the amount of transactions and government finances.
Secondly, ~EbookFREE.me~ triggered China's self-made silver dollar. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese currency began to change. Imitation of the silver dollar was one of the changes. Silver cake is the earliest silver dollar in China, which should be imitated from foreign silver dollar.
Since the silver dollars of the Spanish colonies began to flow in China in the late Ming Dynasty, the advantages of capitalist currencies have emerged. They conform to the laws of currency circulation, and therefore have an increasing influence in the coastal and southern regions. The Opium War brought China into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and the numismatic culture was deeply embedded in this sadness. Since then, the eastern Chinese currency culture, which is comparable to the western ancient Greek currency culture, has gradually lost its luster.
Li Cong had thought that they would make a fuss on currency, but now the mainstream of the world no longer uses silver. Basically, countries in the world have no hard link between precious metals and currencies, let alone silver, it is gold. If this thing wants to stir the world economy, it has to be Li Cong's net worth. It is useless if it is missing. Three thousand tons of gold can stir the world's capital market and replace it with silver? 300,000 tons is not necessarily a big achievement. The main reason is that people in the world do not pay much attention to silver. Although industrial silver is important, there are too many silver-producing countries in the world, and they cannot They didn't export it. Li Cong really couldn't understand what they wanted to do. (To be continued...)
