Gold and jewelry from prosperous times, antiques, and troubled times don’t last as long as gold. Some jade products cannot withstand the corrosion of thousands of years, while the shelf life of gold can be as high as hundreds of thousands of years. The old gangster has a lot of gold. Now that he has it
The jewelry company had experts like Ma Chongren, so he thought of making a set of 12 golden zodiac signs.
One weighs up to 1 ton!
Ma Chongren smiled and said: "Mr. Li, I think your set of golden zodiac signs can definitely be passed down through the ages! But gold is soft, so you must be careful when storing it in the future."
1 ton of gold is now worth nearly 600 million yuan, and 12 tons is worth 7.2 billion yuan!
Ma Chongren will help make these 12 zodiac signs in Xiangjiang, and then transport them directly to the basement of the old gangster's manor in Xiangjiang.

In 2013, Huaxia Li earned nearly 1.9 trillion yuan in revenue from dividends from major companies, more than 200 billion yuan more than last year. The extra income was mainly contributed by Lanyin Automobile and high-energy metal batteries.
Therefore, the big boss makes big money, and the employees can also make small money. Huitong Bank, which was just established in 2013, and Universal Airlines, which was established in 2012, have not many employees, less than 600 people in total. Huaxia Li Dafang paid for it out of his own pocket
, an additional 12-month bonus was distributed to these 600 people.
In early January 2014, after attending the 2013 and summary meetings of several major companies, the old gangster came to Shanghai and brought gifts to several lovers in Shanghai.
Of course, the gifts were later "purchased" from Lao Ma. Several gifts together cost nearly 2 billion yuan. The old gangster said to Lao Ma: "China's rich list is all fake. I have piles of gifts."
Compared with your jewelry, the RMB is nothing but waste paper..."
mm received the jade bead necklace, ** received a string of emeralds that are highly respected by Westerners, Jiang Yiting received the sapphire necklace, and Zhixue received diamonds.
As for little Liu Xin, the old gangster didn't forget her either. He gave her a platinum longevity lock. Mother Liu smiled and said, "This is like a thousand pieces of gold!"
Even Mother Liu, an old gangster, bought her a pair of green jade bracelets in Nannan's jewelry store, which cost millions, and she was extremely happy.
....
mm, this girl was so pleasantly surprised after receiving the jade necklace and certificate. She thought her brother had forgotten the promise he made to her. Now, even if the old gangster makes a small promise, the other party will remember it very much.
reliable.
Therefore, the old gangster rarely makes promises these days. If you give a promise, you might as well give a surprise!
As for the three wives, they are not interested at all in giving money, villas, planes, etc.; as for Zhang Baoxiu, she has no shortage of jewelry or designer clothes. She just opens this kind of shop.
The old hooligan said: Come and see me and Xiu'er more, then we won't lack anything.
As for Lei Yu, this girl is not too interested in jewelry. The old gangster rarely sees her wearing any complicated jewelry. She only has a very simple platinum necklace, and sometimes she doesn't wear it at all. This may have something to do with her character and her past.
It has something to do with her profession. So what does she like? After so many years, the old gangster has certainly known for a long time: she likes high-tech things and weapons!
For example, this girl has learned to create voluntary muscles under the guidance of the old gangster.
Although there is no shortage of gifts for wives and lovers, they still have to be given!
What to give? For example, the old gangster gave Yang Fei'er a down jacket. He went to the mall to buy it for her by himself. Yang Fei'er was deeply moved. Although this down jacket was only worth more than 3,000 yuan, it was
The old gangster gave her clothes officially for the first time in many years.
For example, giving Wang Zixuan a bottle of perfume always made her feel disadvantaged. She said: Why does my sister’s have clothes and mine has perfume? Don’t you know that perfume will always run out?
The old gangster smiled and said: Then don't use it. Then next time I will give you two bottles of French red wine, and you can keep it until our 10th wedding anniversary.
Wang Zixuan said: Well, this is good, quite romantic, hurry up and buy me some red wine tomorrow!
Today's three wives lack nothing but romance!
Although the old gangster occasionally writes comics, it is not as frequent as in previous years. There are less comics, so of course I miss it!
As for Zhao Ruolan, she got a pair of golden dolls, male and female golden dolls. She accepted them happily because she also gave birth to a pair of twins!
As for Leiyu, she likes weapons. The old gangster gave her an ivory dagger and said with a smile: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, and the blade is ominous, but the ivory dagger is still good."
Zhang Baoxiu, who was well-equipped with clothes and jewelry, received an unexpected gift. The old gangster gave her 5% of Universal Airlines shares!
For Universal Airlines, which now has a market capitalization of HK$80 billion, 5% is HK$4 billion.
This money is not too much for Zhang Baoxiu, but it is of great significance. Opening an airline has always been her dream. Now, although she cannot be the boss of an airline, she can be a shareholder, which is not bad!
Even Wang Tong, the old gangster, prepared an amber bracelet for her because her original one was discarded when she was in Australia.
Wives and lovers have gifts, and children cannot live without them, especially children who are already somewhat sensible.
....
When an old gangster gives gifts to his wives and lovers, they will also give them back. What gifts? The old gangster never wears rings or watches, so everyone gives him limited edition lighters, ashtrays made of natural crystal, and leather shoes in return.
, suits, belts, antique pocket watches.
....
Cai Niu called him again and told him that last year was fine and the balance of payments was under control...
Of course the old gangster agreed to "go back" to see you if he had the chance. Who knew that this girl would come to Xijing to spend the Spring Festival with him? The old gangster quickly said: No, I have arrangements...
This girl is also a smart person and knows that "senior" probably has a woman, because usually, senior basically doesn't call her.

In early 2014, China's high-speed rail increased the operating speed of some long-distance tracks to 420 kilometers per hour, an increase of 50 kilometers from the original 380 kilometers. Don't underestimate this 50 kilometers, because after the speed of high-speed rail exceeds 350 kilometers, it consumes energy.
And the wear rate of rails and wheels will be greatly increased.
High-speed rail can only significantly increase its speed, of course, mainly to compete with future large-scale civilian helicopters!
Although the maximum operating speed of high-speed rail can reach 420 kilometers, if there are too many stations along the way, the average speed will be far from reaching this number. As for helicopters, since they will not "stop" in the middle, the speed of one helicopter is 450 kilometers per hour.
, large helicopters with a payload of more than 300 tons are also highly competitive for high-speed rail.
The helicopters of Lanyin Aircraft are advanced. They not only introduce electric power, but also introduce some advanced design concepts. The reason why Lanyin's lz25 and lz600 helicopters can reach speeds of 500 kilometers per hour is that their appearance is more aerodynamic.
Second, there is a propeller propeller at the tail of the aircraft, which allows Lan Yin's helicopter to reach a speed of 300 to 400 kilometers per hour much higher than previous traditional helicopters.
But can the speed continue to increase? Of course it can!
But there is also an upper limit. For example, it is difficult to increase the speed of the super large lz600 helicopter too much, while the speed of the small lz25 can be increased to 800 kilometers at most.
However, for some vehicles, it is not a good thing to go too fast. If a small helicopter travels too fast, the probability of an accident will also be greatly increased, because a small helicopter is far from stable in terms of stability.
To the extent of high-speed rail and jet aircraft.
As for high-speed rail, although the speed exceeds 350 kilometers per hour, energy consumption and wear and tear on the track are also huge, but in China, the power of interest groups cannot be underestimated. The interest groups behind high-speed rail may be more powerful than those behind civil airlines.
ah!
When people question the speed of high-speed rail, the wear rate will be greatly increased, so the wheels and tracks will be replaced more frequently. Will the cost be passed on to passengers?
The high-speed rail department came out and said: This is the case for the time being, but we will soon use more wear-resistant tracks and wheels. We have cooperated with Lanyin Steel to develop a steel alloy with excellent performance. This alloy can make the high-speed rail eventually
It is not a problem if the theoretical operating speed exceeds 800 kilometers.
The people said: Damn, if you want to replace it with new tracks and wheels, it will probably cost another trillion in investment, right?
This is an era of competition!
Since jet aircraft in the civil aviation sector have no price advantage, the market has shrunk step by step, from the 800-kilometer market to the 1,200-kilometer market. Today, only in the market with a flight range of more than 1,200 kilometers can jets have a competitive advantage.
However, large civil helicopters have brought hope to civil aviation companies. Some people estimate that if the payload reaches 300 tons, it can carry 1,500 passengers, while a high-speed rail generally carries 1,000 passengers.
The ratio is 1.5:1;
The price of an Airbus 380 with a passenger capacity of 90 tons is 300 million US dollars, the price of a large helicopter with a payload capacity of 300 tons will not exceed 150 million US dollars, and the price of a high-speed rail locomotive with a passenger capacity of 1,000 people
The cost is 500 million yuan, so the cost ratio of large helicopters and high-speed rail locomotives is 1.8:1;
Let’s talk about the cost of use. Both use electric power. The super helicopter relies on high-energy metal batteries, and the high-speed rail relies on the power grid. The price per kilowatt hour of electricity is about the same. The engine power of a high-speed rail that operates at a speed of 300 kilometers and transports 1,000 people is 1.5
Thousands of kilowatts, but when the speed reaches 420 kilometers per hour, an output power of 30,000 kilowatts is required. As for the 300-ton super helicopter, the output power is 220,000 kilowatts, exceeding the 160,000 kilowatts of the Boeing 747.
In this way, the average energy consumption of a passenger in a super helicopter is 150 kilowatts, and the average energy consumption of a passenger in a high-speed rail exceeding 400 kilometers per hour is 30 kilowatts. The energy consumption ratio between the two is 5:1.
It stands to reason that a super helicopter is more expensive than a high-speed train, and a single person consumes more energy, so the ticket price should be higher, but it is not!
You must know that the main cost of high-speed rail is not on the locomotives, but on the tracks, bridges, and investment in telecommunications and electricity along the way. In addition, after the high-speed rail schedule is determined, even if a car is empty, it must still be driven, and
Airlines currently control flights based on passenger flow, which means that super helicopters can accommodate at least half of the people on each flight.
The cost of locomotives accounts for less than one-tenth of the cost of the entire high-speed rail network.
In addition, the investment in the high-speed rail network is huge, and the annual bank interest is astronomical, plus depreciation and maintenance fees are not small.
Therefore, in summary, the passenger carrying cost of super helicopters is lower than that of high-speed rail.
Of course, building high-speed rail can stimulate the development of other industries. Some people say that investing 1 yuan in high-speed rail can boost related output value by 9 yuan; but super helicopters may not have this ability.
Therefore, some people say: In China, due to government-led capital, some super large projects are cost-effective, so the future of high-speed rail in China should be better than that of super helicopters; but in capital-led Europe and the United States, especially the United States, the future of super helicopters
The future is definitely better than high-speed rail. In fact, Americans cannot make the determination to build a high-speed rail network of tens of thousands of kilometers.
Indeed, this is true. When the Chinese government develops high-speed rail, it does not only look at the profitability of the high-speed rail itself. Therefore, if one day, the government wipes out the loan from the Ministry of Railways to build high-speed rail, then the comprehensive cost advantage of high-speed rail will definitely be higher than that of the high-speed rail.
Super helicopter is better!
So in early January, Lao Zhang talked about the topic of high-speed rail with the old gangster again, and Lao Zhang said: "The government plans to release the freight market of super helicopters. Do you know what the fundamental reason is?"
The old gangster smiled and said: "It goes without saying that there are some military reasons. During wartime, these civilian super helicopters can be requisitioned; in addition, in the long run, air traffic is a trend, regardless of the current electric power helicopters are not fast enough.
Even if it is fast, it will also be affected by bad weather. Recently, everyone is talking about the competitiveness of high-speed rail and super helicopters. Haha, in fact, it is the topic of competition between road traffic and air traffic."
Lao Zhang said: "Yes, air traffic is an inevitable trend, and air traffic is more flexible. In the high-speed rail network, in wartime, a missile can paralyze a section of the road. If you want to repair it, how can you repair it? Now the high-speed rail network is
It's a viaduct, and it will take several months to repair it!"
The old gangster said: "How many months? Have you always forgotten the new building that Luyin Real Estate is building? How could it take a few months? If the railway is also built according to this model and the piers that were bombed are replaced,
It will take up to a week. I’m afraid that the piers and bridges will be difficult to transport. Haha, aren’t there also super helicopters? Helicopters of several hundred tons can’t transport piers and bridges of one to two hundred tons?”
Lao Zhang smiled and said: "Yes, I forgot, the world is changing so fast! The new modular building concept is indeed good, but it also requires a lot of piers and bridges to be stored at ordinary times, right? What if the factory that stores these is bombed?
?It will probably take a lot of time to make a new bridge pier, right?"
The old gangster said depressedly: "You might as well just say that the airport has been blown up. If the war really gets to that point, we will either launch nuclear bombs or start guerrilla warfare. Let's talk about air transportation and road transportation. Aren't the Americans planning to build a super airship?
Do you have a plan? This airship will not be too fast, with a maximum speed of 350 kilometers per hour, but it has a large passenger capacity and can transport thousands of people at a time. Since it can use part of the buoyancy of the air, the energy consumption is not too great, which is higher than that of a super helicopter.
Much less. This mode of transportation is still very good for tourism.”
Lao Zhang shook his head and said: "This is not of much military significance, haha, and the investment in one is too huge to transport thousands of people. Haha, this is bigger than an aircraft carrier, 2 kilometers long, 500 meters high and wide.
, the cost of such a behemoth is several times higher than that of an aircraft carrier. Haha, it really blocks out the sky and the sun in the sky, the target is too big."
The old gangster smiled and said: "Isn't it possible to turn it into a space carrier?"
Lao Zhang shook his head and said: "No, the safety is incomparable with aircraft carriers at sea. You must know that many anti-air missiles have fallen into the hands of terrorists, and anti-ship missiles are not even available in many countries.
You said that the terrorists in Afghanistan could use several hundred rounds of anti-air missiles that cost only 5 million US dollars to shoot down a super airship worth 10 to 20 billion US dollars. Does this thing still have military value? You said
, it has only civilian value, and it is also for sightseeing. Haha, sightseeing is not bad. If there is such a super airship, I would also like to take a ride on it and go on a round-the-world trip or something."
The old gangster pondered for a moment and said: "Well, the reason why I am optimistic about air transportation is that it is highly flexible.
