Six months later.
In the spring of 202 Haiyuan calendar, the Marigold Building, Central Avenue, Kamsid City, the capital of the Golden Palm Federation.
This world-famous building is also the undisputed tallest building in the entire human world today.
The building is 381 meters high and has 102 floors. It took 410 days to build by 3400 workers. There are 72 elevators alone, and they are powered by the electric power system whose core is [Magnetite].
The world’s tallest building, Marigold Tower, is just a miniature of the all-round competition between [International Democratic League] and [Monarch’s Shield].
It is worth mentioning that quite a few of the installers of the electric power system are "wild" [electrical engineers]. I have to say that it is a certain victory of the electric power master and mysterious source of Aiwen.
of course.
There is no doubt that the ownership of this building belongs to the real owner of this country, "Eye of Wealth"!
Occupying the 95th to 100th floors of the Marigold Building, you can experience what it means to "see the mountains and small mountains". It is a luxurious hotel called "Astoria".
At this time, in the magnificent hotel lobby.
The feasting, arrogant, well-dressed gentlemen and graceful ladies are dancing on the dance floor to melodious dance music.
But the center of this cocktail party is undoubtedly a middle-aged gentleman wearing gold glasses and his beautiful dancing partner.
The noble lady wearing a burgundy evening gown, with a large white and smooth back dazzling, leaned against the middle-aged gentleman's arms and swung her body as if she was about to rub herself into the other person's body.
Just when the gentleman put his arms around the beauty's slender waist, he was somewhat intoxicated by the beauty.
call out!
A black figure suddenly fell from the French window next to the two.
You know it's close to the top floor, close to 400 meters in the sky!
The lady who had witnessed this scene up close instantly turned her face into discoloration, almost holding her head and screaming. But the gentleman who held her in his arms seemed indifferent.
He comforted the female partner softly, touched her smooth and smooth waist, and handed her a beautiful gold card, which is the access card for the only supreme suite in the Astoria Hotel .
He leaned into her ear and said softly:
"Baby, it smells good, wait for me to find you."
"Itchy, giggle..."
The lady took the gold card and immediately forgot the tragic situation of someone falling from the building just now. She took a charming look at him and then lifted her skirt.
Ding!
The gentleman wearing golden glasses wandered to the window, took a glass of "Sauvignon Blanc" from the waiter's tray, and gently touched the glass with another beautiful lady who was standing here watching the scenery.
Touching the purple eyeshadow, the lady who seemed ignorant of her age teased him:
"Mr. Argo is in good spirits."
The middle-aged man named Argo shrugged and smiled disapprovingly:
"You know, I always pity and cherish jade. But you, is Ms. Yeher alone today?"
From the 192nd year of the Haiyuan calendar to the present, a full ten years have passed.
Argo, the Dutch bank group that led the "Eye of Wealth" to hoard tulip bulbs, has also become a very charming middle-aged man (Chapter 830).
He is also a third-tier [politician] with extraordinary ability. He now holds the post of "Paleo Palme Federal Central Bank Governor". Not long ago, under his leadership, "Eye of Wealth" became a major event.
It also directly led to the incident of falling from the building just now.
But Argo, who seemed unaffected at all, came to "Ms. Crow" and looked at the setting sun outside the French windows, and said with emotion:
"Look, the scenery here is so beautiful, as if the whole world is under our feet."
Yeher said quietly:
"The people in this city and even this country don't seem to agree with you very much."
It was a coincidence that when they looked out the window, someone on the roof of the government building opposite jumped down miserably.
In fact, during this period of time, the Palme d’Or and even most of the [International League for Democracy], the most "beautiful" scenery is "going up to the roof together."
This beautiful landscape is really rare in other places, so foreigners who are new to this place can't help but admire: "The folk customs are simple."
Taking a sip of wine, Agore expressed his opinion with a smile:
"No, no, ma'am, on the contrary, obviously we have brought freedom to the people of this country!
You see, in this tide of speculation, they have the freedom to completely decide whether to jump from the Marigold Building or the Federal Building, right?
No one will stop their choice. "
Translating his words can be understood as: Although they jumped down, they were free.
at this time.
After ten years of development, multinational companies such as the Dutch Banking Group have long been like a big octopus, extending their tentacles to all aspects of Palme d’Or.
As in the lowlands, it became a real national department.
Private banks headed by the Dutch bank group belong to the Ministry of Finance and the National Central Bank; "Caterpillar Industries" is similar to the Bureau of Industry; "Maxson Pharmaceuticals" is similar to the Medical Administration; Raytheon Military Industry itself is the Ministry of National Defense. ...
Both Congress and the federal government have become their spokespersons and executive agencies.
Moreover, its decree is uniform and compulsory over the power of the government!
This is not only the case in the "Lowland Republic" and the "Palma Palme Federation", but also in the Republic of Atlant, the Republic of Taiz, the Republic of Hodeidah... etc. [International Democratic League] countries are also the same.
These multinational companies are free to navigate the market of any country in the alliance, as if they were in no one's territory.
It has even become the most distinguished guest and target of investment promotion by governments of various countries, and through the abundant capital of a wealthy country, it can quickly clean up its local rivals and make long-term profits. It is not an exaggeration to call it a "siege land".
After occupying a dominant position, the big bankers and big capitalists have only one thing-to make money! Make a lot of money!
The serious bubble that appeared in the previous economic development was the inevitable result of their continuous loosening of money.
The whole process is visually like bankers raising fish in fish ponds. When they release water into the fish ponds, they are relaxing the "credit" and injecting a large amount of money into the economy.
And it’s not like when you used precious metal currency, you had to take out the real money. Now it’s only paper, plus the country’s debt guarantee.
After receiving a large amount of money infusion, people from all walks of life began to work hard day and night under the temptation of money to create wealth.
This process is like a fish in a pond trying to absorb various nutrients, the longer it gets, the fatter it gets.
When the bankers saw that the harvest time was right, they would suddenly tighten their "credit" and start pumping water from the fish ponds. At this time, most of the fish in the fish ponds were desperately waiting for the fate of being caught.
This is the "financial crisis" under artificial control!
When a country has established a private central bank system such as the "Lowland" and "Palm of Gold", the bank oligarchs can control water release and pumping more easily and gain more precision.
Economic development and decline, wealth accumulation and evaporation have all become the inevitable result of bankers' "scientific breeding".
Well, going to the rooftops has also become a repertoire of the inevitable arrival of democracy in democratic countries. This cycle is generally seven to ten years.
but.
Multinational super enterprises are a more efficient, expansive and stable organizational form than traditional national institutions.
This is also the fundamental reason why the Palme d’Or Federation has not been significantly reduced in strength during the crisis, and the society has basically maintained stability, and still has a firm grasp of the power center of the [International Democratic League].
The unlucky government is standing in the foreground to attract the firepower of the masses, transfer social contradictions, and handle public affairs. It is not too much to call it a "pawn before the horse".
The big deal is to bow and apologize, come again, and hold a general election.
The new government will not be any different from the original.
Such a "double reed", "one light and one dark" mode of governance has also successfully resolved people's dissatisfaction with the puppet government and maintained a high degree of stability in capital's control of power.
And most definitely, because most of the private capital did not flow out, but was taken into the pockets of capitalists in a way that was far more efficient than plunder.
In essence, everyone knows what it is that the "God of Capital and Wealth" is not only not weakened by this, but has gained tremendous strength in this way.
It also succeeded in filling back the damage suffered by the "tulip bubble" ten years ago, and even improved.
After talking about his proud work, Argo turned his head and looked at Yehel's beautiful side face:
"By the way, ma'am, you seem to be responsible for the maritime friction between the Federation and Hilius in recent months?
Don't worry, although Hilius bought a second-hand main battleship from the Duchy of Galiot.
But in addition to the fast cruisers [Falcon] and [Beagle] that have been dispatched to the "Broken Star Sea", our own [full-heavy artillery battleship] is also under secret construction.
Moreover, Mr. Morton of Raytheon Military Industry and I have reached a consensus that the Federation will continue to increase military investment in the next ten years and will not let our navy soldiers suffer in the confrontation. "
Argo talked about military and political secrets in a relaxed tone, and was not at all affected by the scenery that was still unfolding outside.
Even the "Ms. Crow" Yeheer who possessed [Death Power] couldn't help feeling that this cold-blooded guy might be more suitable to be a death than himself.
"Then thank you Mr. Argo for your support."
After thanking him, clink glasses with him again.
It’s just that I’m secretly saying in my heart: ‘I just don’t know if you can live tonight under this strong resentment? ’
