Chapter 842 The Purpose of War
"What we need is not gold or overseas assets, but banks and financial institutions under the control of the Rothschild family!"
Three days later, in the conference room on the top floor of the Thomas Asia headquarters building in Shanghai, a shocking word made all the Rothschild family's negotiators widen their eyes widened and their faces turned green.
"You."
This sentence made the chief representative Jacob's face black all of a sudden. What is the most precious thing about the Rothschild family? It is not the wealth of the country, nor the hundreds of tons of gold reserves owned by the family, but the banks and financial institutions all over the world, which seem to have nothing to do with the family, but in fact are inextricable!
If there is no money, you can earn it, and if there is no gold, you can slowly reserve it, but if these banks are gone, the Rothschild family will become a huge empty shell and slowly grow old.
Some people may say that new banks can be re-opened, but Jacob is very clear that it is not decades ago. With the gradual improvement of the financial industry systems of various countries, a large number of mergers and acquisitions have also begun between banks. Under such fierce competition, if you throw away the already famous banks. Starting a new family is more than a hundred times more difficult than before. "No, I won't agree, and I believe that every member of the Rothschild family will not agree to this request." Jacob shook his head and said in an extremely serious tone, "We will never sell these banks."
"Sell the bank?"
In the three days, Li Xiufeng and Thomas, who had been communicating with Yanjing countless times, looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time. The sudden laughter made Jacob confused and didn't understand what they meant.
Did you misunderstand it?
Just as he was wondering, Li Xiufeng had picked up the teacup and said, "Mr. Jacob, I think you must have misunderstood. We don't need a bank. In fact, we believe that you should know how many banks we control."
Jacob nodded. From the Bank of America, the National Bank of Australia, and the recently merged City Bank of the United States, these are actually Li Mo's public property in the European and American worlds, and he believes that Li Mo must have penetrated to a deeper level, but he has not yet grasped the evidence. .
"We don't want to acquire the Rothschild family's banks and financial institutions, and we don't want to interfere in your business in Europe. We have only one condition."
"What are the conditions?" Before Li Xiufeng finished speaking, Jacob stood up nervously.
"It's very simple. We can provide you with special treasury bonds worth between 1 billion and 2 billion yuan, which can provide a secondary guarantee for your family-controlled financial system, but all of this must be built under one system." Li Xiufeng slowly narrowed his eyes, looked at Thomas next to him, and smiled: "Blue coin settlement system!"
"God!"
The last six simple words ofwere undoubtedly a thunderbolt in Jacob's ears, which made him a little dull. Although the clan Chang'an Seni had the idea of Li Mo to control the global currency before, it was also denied by himself, because the family thought that no one could unify the world's currency.
But now he understands that Li Mo is ready to control the global currency in another way, that is, through the huge banking system controlled by himself and the Rothschild family, plus the direct persecution of the American consortium by force, and finally Xinhua has announced the use of the only blue coin in China. Settlement of shareholders, promote blue coin settlement all over the world!
No one knows better than him. Li Mo has controlled about 1,000 tons of gold in Tsarist Russia. Not long ago, he got about 3,500 tons from the United States. In addition, he forcibly controlled the reserves of Japan, North Korea and other small Asian countries after the war. This scale is about more than 200 tons, which can be counted as 4,700 tons.
In recent years, Xinhua's gold reserves have also been rising steadily. The gold mines in China, Luzon, the Southeast Peninsula, Australia and Eastern Siberia controlled by the political axe can produce 100 tons of gold every year. In addition, Li Mo's iron-blooded means have controlled the wealth of the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop. The gold accumulated over the years has already exceeded 2,000 tons. And this is not Li Moqi's privately controlled gold reserves.
According to confidential information, in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to stabilize the country's currency and gold reserves, Li Mo alone took out about 500 tons of reserves. In the past 20 years, his gold mine has not stopped operating even during the war. If all these are counted, that is to say, Xinhua can take out nearly 700 at present. The scale of 0 tons!
Nearly 7,000 tons, what is this concept?
After the privatization of the British Central Bank under the control of the Rothschildl family, Britain plundered about 4,000 tons of gold reserves from all over the world with a huge global colony. With this reserve, the pound became the world currency and firmly ruled the world for nearly a hundred years.
This number not only means that Xinhua's gold reserves have surpassed the United Kingdom in one fell swoop, but also opened a long distance.
Although the total value of national strength and wealth is not as simple as gold reserves, in the era of gold standard, the more gold means that more paper money is issued, thus fundamentally solving the embarrassment that the circulation of banknotes gradually cannot meet the needs of the country's economy, and because it is the gold standard, there is no need to worry about the large number of currencies. With the current inflation, coupled with its huge population base, it can be said that as long as Xinhua guarantees the stability of 10 to 15 years after the war, the total national product can get rid of the United Kingdom and the United States, which were severely damaged during the war!
Perhaps for others, this is already a perfect goal, but now Jacob knows that what Li Mo wants to accomplish is far more than just to win the world's first throne. As a core member of the Rothschild family who has been sent out by the family for a long time and is familiar with finance, he can imagine the painting after the settlement of blue coins. Noodles!
Once the blue coin settlement system is implemented, Li Mo can easily cut off the connection between gold and blue coins, break the gold standard, link the currencies of all countries in the world with the blue coins, take the blue coins as the only benchmark currency in the world, and rebuild a new global gold. Integration system.
A financial system with only blue!
God!
When everyone thought that Li Mo had already carefully prepared for the war, they did not expect that his vision had surpassed the war! From Jacob's point of view, he is simply using war.
For him, maybe war is just a tool!!!
Now he finally knows why Xinhua will take great logistical pressure and other risks, and grit his teeth to go on an expedition to the United States. According to the calculation of strength, it is impossible for Xinhua's current power to occupy the United States for a long time. This is the result that everyone in Europe knows, so the treaty intends to use the vast territory of the United States to drag the Xinhua army to death. The team dragged the war into an inexorable swamp, and finally dragged the war into negotiations after a stalemate.
But now Jacob knows that this prediction is completely wrong. Li Mo did not want to conquer the United States at all, but to forcibly use force to destroy the economic foundation of the United States and solve the biggest opponent in the next decade.
It can be imagined that Li Mo will not end the war so soon. He will use Germany to continue to drag Britain, and then his planes and warships rampage on the east coast, destroying all the visible American industrial and transportation infrastructure!
When the U.S. economic and industrial foundation built up by Morgan and others for decades is destroyed, and they dare not easily return to Europe, Xinhua only needs to throw some olive branches, and then a new blue coin system will take shape.
"What can we get?"
Jacob picked up the coffee, and his fingers trembled slightly. As a member of the family who has been in charge of the world's financial power for nearly a hundred years, he has been able to fully imagine the future of the family. If the Rothschild family can't tie up Li Mo, then this ambitious man will not hesitate to push his family to Germany, and then with Germany. The Guo Rongke consortium embezzled itself together.
So he asked this question. As a businessman, he has an unimaginable sense. Although the establishment of a blue coin system will mean that the Rothschild family will lose the throne of the world's first financial family, there is also a huge opportunity. It is only the exchange rate and transportation between banks after the beginning of the blue coin settlement system. The cost is enough to kill any banker.
Li Xiufeng and Thomas smiled. In fact, they have guessed that this will be the solution. The Rothschild family can succeed and also rely on the war. Now they need to make the most important choice in the war, but there is almost only one way!
"Mr. Jacob, you and your family will master the European interbank settlement business, and we can help you solve the pressure from the German Juncker consortium!" Li Xiufeng threw out the last bargaining chip, not to mention how coveted the settlement business of the entire European banks. Just getting rid of the coercion of the Juncker consortium after the war is enough for Jacob to take a risk. What's more, the special treasury bonds of the largest 2 billion blue coins can also allow the family capital to continue to maintain its value after the war. .
"I think I need to send a telegram."
"Yes, Mr. Jacob." Li Xiufeng nodded seriously: "It will take some time before the end of the war. We will wait patiently for your reply. Of course, I need to remind you that if we can't cooperate with the Rothschild family, maybe the Nobel family will be a good choice."
"I know." Jacob's heart sank and understood what Li Xiufeng, or Li Mo meant.
"Yes, Mr. Jacob, I want to tell you that some consortia such as Morgan and Rockefeller have agreed in principle to join the blue coin settlement system. After the war, the Pacific Rim will be the first region to implement blue coin settlement. In addition, we have now obtained 70% of the world's oil exploration rights. We believe that the future will be an oil-dominated world, and the value of gold will be gradually abandoned, so we are ready to implement new gold pricing immediately after the war, and gold will also be included in the trading scope of the Shanghai Bulk Futures Exchange.
Jacob's shoulders trembled when he was just about to get up. These words mean that gold will become a commodity from currency!
