Chapter 798 The ultimate goal of a madman!

At night in Shanghai, the lanterns are on for the first time.

High-rise buildings rise from the ground. On the wide asphalt roadside, the sycamore trees are shaded, and the shops in between them have turned on the neon lights that have just begun to be popular. The changing lights not only decorate the streets beautifully, but also attract countless attention.

In the alley around the corner, the old record player in the pub and coffee shop rotates slowly. In the plastic disc, there are not only the soft whispers of domestic entertainment celebrities, but also foreign classic piano songs, dim lights and long melodies, attracting countless red men and green, talking quietly in the rhythm, or dancing.

This is Shanghai. Since the opening of the port at the beginning of the last century, there has been no lack of romance and petty atmosphere here.

In the 1960s and 1970s, this was depravity and corruption, but today it is a sign of the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures. Walking on the street, you can see long shirts and cheongsams, suits and leather shoes, and even Islamic robes, Indian headscarves, Jewish hats, etc. All the symbols of civilized countries can be found here.

In this era when the emperor's thought still exists, the influence of the royal family is extremely huge. Under the guidance of part of the Westernization of the new royal family and the emperor himself, the younger generation has gradually stepped out of it.

In addition, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shanghai was designated as a municipality directly under the Central Government, and then core enterprises such as Jiangnan Heavy Industries were also moved here. With Li Xiufeng, as the representative of the royal family, and with the help of the Prime Minister's Office, banks, consortia and new types of businessmen have set up headquarters here, especially finance. After the Ministry of Political Affairs decided to put all the major financial exchanges here, a relationship similar to New York and Wall Street was officially formed.

The first economic capital of the Far East is officially stable.

Then, the war broke out again, and Shanghai ushered in another opportunity for rapid development, especially after the closure of Wall Street and the complete paralysis of the European financial market, international capital began to pour into the city. In addition, Xinhua controlled some important resources, including rubber, oil, copper and white sugar, which made it involved every day. The trading capital is as high as billions, and every slight price fluctuation here will affect distant countries such as Chile and Brazil.

In order to let merchants keep abreast of the situation of countries around the world, the world's largest postal telegraph company has also been established here. Standing in this city, you can contact any civil telegraph station in the world as long as you want.

Opposite the world-famous Shanghai Futures Exchange, a 16-story new high-rise building is brightly lit.

In the luxurious penthouse office, Herbert, who has faded out of the business circle and is dedicated to writing novels for retirement. George. Wells threw the newspaper in front of Thomas, pointed to the news above and laughed, "Thomas, this is not like your surname! The United Fruit Company of the United States is worth at least 30 million yuan, but this Rong brothers only paid 20 million yuan to get it. It's too cheap for them! Why don't you take action? If I grab the package, I can earn at least 10 million if I change hands!"

"George, do you think it's that simple? Neither Kathy nor Andrew are fools. Without Lee's support, would Costa Rican political axe dare to say that they would confiscate their planting base? And he also sold it to Li for 5 million yuan. Damn it, it's too cheap!" Thomas looked at the newspaper and couldn't stand the number of the transaction amount he got before. After swearing, he patted his forehead and continued: "Brother Rong, although they are known as the King of Xinhua Flour, if there is no support, you think that businessmen like them, who are still limited to domestic, may win this kind of super business. Is it?"

"So, this is Li deliberately training domestic companies. I don't want to get involved."

George was also laughed at by his swearing. To be honest, he was shocked when he saw the news at first. He didn't expect that because of the domestic political turmoil in Costa Rica, the famous United Fruit Company of the United States would be acquired by Xinhua at an ultra-low price of 5 million US dollars, and then After being repackaged, it was brought back to Shanghai for sale. Finally, it was bought by the Rong family, known as the king of Xinhua flour, for 20 million yuan, and moved its headquarters to Panama City. The name was changed to American fruit industry. Because they did not understand it, many people thought that the Rong family was crazy at that time, but with the continuous return of news, many people who did not dare to bid now However, they are all regretful. You should know that the predecessor of this company is the famous United Fruit Company of the United States. Among other things, the fruit planting bases owned by them in several countries in Central and South America alone are worth all the investment.

As for why this rich joint fruit company, which can even affect the political trend of Central America, was suddenly sold, everyone knows it, so the international conglomerates led by Thomas have chosen to stand by. You know, who dares to destroy Emperor Li's plan at this moment will definitely die. It's miserable!

After taking out the treasured Bordeaux red wine and pouring a glass for George, the two held the glass and walked to the wide French window together, looking at the world capital, which is no longer inferior to New York, and smiling at each other.

Only they and a few people understand how much effort Li Mo has condensed behind this prosperity. In order to create his own world economic center, Emperor Li, who was extremely rich, even did not hesitate to invite domestic emerging consortia and companies to settle down here with the emperor's respect, and even ran to Go abroad to attract investment.

Thomas has seen a lot of commercial methods similar to the American fruit industry' low-cost acquisition, packaging and sale on the market. Uncovering the packaging box is actually the method of Emperor Li's enclosure in those years.

Although Thomas is a little disgusted with this kind of unequal commercial acquisition at gunpoint, he does not have much resistance. In the final analysis, which of the conglomerates and companies that have been embezzled by Xinhua at this moment has developed through legitimate means? The primitive accumulation stage of capital has never been interrupted by blood and corpses. Even in the so-called freest America, how many Indians did the white people kill for the sake of land and underground mineral deposits?

What really moved him was Li Mo's unswerving action to support domestic businessmen.

In the eyes of outsiders, if he bought the United Fruit Company of the United States at an ultra-low price, if he operated by himself, his assets would have doubled in less than ten years, but he gave up such a huge profit and sold it directly to domestic businessmen.

In the eyes of Europe and the United States, this is a stupid business, but only they understand that it is the unswerving pursuit of this truth. Originally, it took dozens or even hundreds of years of development to catch up with the world's Xinhua Capital. In just 20 years later, a large number of conglomerates and families comparable to Europe and the United States have appeared, and he also A side effect is that it has accelerated the integration of Xinhua and the world, which has been closed for hundreds of years, allowing more and more Chinese people to go abroad.

And what they admire most is that Li Mo has also formulated a set of very detailed rules through the financial and tax departments to restrain the behavior of these consorts in China, so as not to the phenomenon of their wanton exploitation in China. As for their behavior abroad, according to In Mas's words, Emperor Li will definitely support all acts for commercial interests, including directly subverting the small national ax!

It's very rude and unreasonable, but this is the rule! Previously, the United States, Britain, France and other powerful countries were the makers of such rules, but now they have been replaced by stronger Chinese people!

"George, this is what Li asked me to give you."

With a glass of wine, Thomas took out a document from his arms with a smile. George opened it curiously and took a look. He, who had always been calm, also called out directly: "Is this true? Give me ten tons of gold!"

"Why is this?!" Holding the document, George's hands shook. This is 10 tons of gold! Even if he knew that Emperor Li had not stopped working in several gold mines during the war, it was still surprising that he sent 10 tons of gold for no reason.

"This is not Li Mo's, but a bonus for us." Thomas tilted the corners of his mouth and sighed in his heart. He got the gold, but it is estimated that he can only hide behind people in his life.

As soon as he talked about the bonus, George immediately understood and quickly asked, "When did it happen?"

"Two days ago, they opened there. A total of 2,635 tons! The price is just more than 600 people killed and injured!" Thomas held the glass and looked out of the window peacefully, but the slightly trembling whisky in the glass betrayed him. As the person who participated in and created the world's most appalling event, he knew very well what 2,600 tons meant!

"Li Mo also replied to me, and he refused my proposal to transfer all the shares of the company to him."

Joe, who hasn't come out of 10 tons of gold, has been cured and confused. In fact, he has long known that Thomas has deliberately faded out of the business circle. In addition to the fact that today's wealth is just a string of numbers for Thomas, after this incident, Thomas' identity will be completely exposed to the world. If he continues to take charge of this business emperor Even personal safety will be a problem, so he immediately asked, "Why did you refuse?"

Thomas shook his glass: "He told me, don't be so discouraged. He would help me deal with everything and sent the royal guards to protect my safety."

"God, the royal guard?!" George's eyes widened, but he knew the ability of Limo's royal guard.

"George, do you know? When they gave these things to me yesterday, he suddenly realized that he had already thought of today when I knew him!"

"What!" Thomas's words made George scream uncontrollably, but Thomas didn't seem to hear it and continued to say lightly, "He knew that only we Jews could step into the world's top financial circle before, so he put it in the lead, made me the richest man in the world, and let me step into that The circle, taking advantage of the crises, tied me to the U.S. economy, and finally pushed me to the throne of the U.S. Gold Reserve!"

"Does he hate Jews?"

"No, he doesn't hate anyone. He has just been trying to move the world. He is now doing his best to support Chinese businessmen and conglomerates. He doesn't mean to replace us Jews, but he just doesn't want to be the second America!

Do you know? Now that he has this gold, even the sixth empire in Britain can do nothing!" Thomas shook his head and sighed, "When I first met him, do you know what he asked?"

George's curiosity was suddenly aroused, and he came to his side and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"He asked me if I had any sheepskin rolls."

"Sheepskin roll?!" George didn't understand at first, but after a while, he understood and burst into laughter.

Thomas couldn't help laughing and said, "From that day on, he wants to build a new world, a world economic order that can't make our Jews exclusive! Today, he succeeded!"

"And he is about to control the world!"

This sentence directly drove George crazy. He patted his head and said with a wry smile, "Thomas, are you drunk? Who can control the world?

"I didn't believe it before, but do you know what he's going to make me do?" Before George could ask back, Thomas had asked himself: "He has asked Liu Jingpeng to integrate the oil industry in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, and even include Kansas and the entire Gulf of Mexico in the future, all of which will be merged into my Thomas Oil Company!"

And although it has not been occupied, he has previously handed over the mining rights of Alaska and northern Canada to the Northern Oil Company. Recently, he sent people to sign mineral and oil exploration agreements with Brazil and Venezuela, obtaining the mining rights of the two countries. It also used the land occupied by the United States to ** Mexico and signed a brand-new commercial agreement, and the Mexican political axe has promised to move half of the world's silver trading from Wall Street to the Shanghai Stock Exchange after the war!"

"God, what is he doing?"

"When we focus on the victory or defeat of the war, he is already using the war, because it is a time of war, and his army is too strong, so no one dares to offend his army at this moment! So he took advantage of this and began to lay out quietly.

Now, including me, he already owns five major oil companies and may add a South American oil company in the near future. Thomas turned his head and looked at George with a serious look: "Moreover, he has decided that all oil and commodity transactions related to Xinhua must be the only one before the end of the war." Thomas opened the drawer, took out a blue coin of 10 yuan, and waved it: "This, come to settle the bill!"

"God!"

Although George washed his hands out of the business circle, he once managed a super enterprise after all, so when Thomas waved the blue bill with the logo of the golden dragon and Li Mo's head, he shouted out the third god tonight!

He is not a fool, let alone Thomas. If the two did not have commercial talent, even if Li Mo supported him, he would not be able to go today, so he soon understood the mystery of using blue coins as the only settlement currency for commodities!

At this moment, the Shanghai Futures Exchange not far away has controlled 70% of the world's rubber, 70% copper and 80% of oil, as well as cotton yarn, white sugar, grain and other trading volumes have also been rapidly enlarged, which can affect the world's commodity prices.

Previously, these transactions could be paid by a variety of means, such as gold, bonds and all kinds of hard currency, but now, Li Mo has directly announced that it can only be settled with blue coins!

God testifies that when a country that occupies one-third of the world's population, spans two states, and occupies the world's two largest oceans, nearly half of the commodity transactions are related to it, and imposes the blue coin as the only settlement unit for all commodity transactions related to it, it means.

The connection between gold and currency is beginning to loosen!

"Gold standard!"

George opened his mouth wide, as if he felt that he had become a fish thrown into the desert and could not breathe oxygen! He finally understood that the ultimate purpose of Li Mo's step by step was not only to build a strong East, but also to challenge the gold standard system!

He wants to use his own design of ocean blue to replace the shiny gold, so that the currency of the world has to be linked to the blue coin!

"This madman!"
