I saw that on a huge high platform ten meters away from everyone, more than a dozen piles of square gold nuggets were arranged in an orderly manner. The canvases in the first few piles had been untied, and the golden gold was so dazzling.
was displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
"We have just calculated that each pile weighs about one ton, and there are eighteen piles in total. According to the current market price of gold, each meal is almost fifty million U.S. dollars, and eighteen tons is nine
100 million U.S. dollars, the gold here alone is worth 900 million U.S. dollars!"
The person who spoke was Stephen. After entering just now, he and Fasai and the others explored everything here, and roughly estimated the amount and weight of the gold.
Although they are all wealthy owners, except for Ye Huang, Stephen and others cannot afford hundreds of millions of dollars. It can be said that the 900 million dollars of gold in front of them does attract their attention.
"Eighteen tons! The Ito family was really able to hide it back then!"
After hearing that it was a total of 18 tons, worth 900 million US dollars, the expressions of Ye Qingmei, Qinglong, Wage Wangyou and Wage Chongshan all changed, revealing expressions of surprise.
Eighteen tons of gold is definitely not a small amount even now, let alone during World War II.
You must know that during World War II, the Sun Country, as a fascist axis power, was jointly blockaded by anti-fascist colleagues led by the United States, and gold was not traded at all.
During the war, gold was the most scarce monetary resource. These eighteen tons of gold were of great significance to the Kingdom of the Sun.
But even so, the Ito family still hid this batch of gold, which was really a bit daring.
"This batch of gold seems to have been deliberately hidden by the Ito family when they saw that the Kingdom of the Sun was declining. After all, even if these things were transported back to the Kingdom of the Sun, they would not be able to change the fate of defeat. Rather than doing this, it is better to be cheap.
One’s own descendants.”
"It's a pity that the ancestors of the Ito family had good ideas, but we got an advantage."
As he spoke, Ye Huang chuckled, walked to the gold, took a piece and checked it, it was indeed of good purity.
"Southeast Asia was so poor during World War II. Where did they get all this gold?"
Chu Tiange also stepped forward and touched a few pieces, and asked cheerfully. It was the first time in his life that he saw so much gold.
"Poor? The poor are just ordinary people. Whether it is Thailand, Myanmar, or the royal family of other countries, they will have this in their hands. Moreover, there is probably part of the gold shipped by our country in China. Eighteen
A ton is not that much.”
"This is not much, I have never seen so much gold in my life."
With his eyes widened, Chu Tiange was startled by Ye Huang's understatement. This is not too much, so how much is too much?
"I once sneaked into a gold reserve in Germany. There were more than two thousand tons of gold stored there, and they were all pure gold. The quality was much higher than these. Moreover, in the United States, there are still almost 2,000 tons of gold stored there.
There are nearly 10,000 tons of gold, and these 18 tons are indeed not much."
While talking, Ye Huang glanced at Chu Tiange and said, "You kid, please don't act so greedy for money, okay?"
"No, I'm just a little dizzy because of the bright yellow color. Thousands of tons, ***, I'm so greedy just thinking about it. By the way, I wonder how much gold reserves our country has?"
"A thousand tons!"
"One thousand tons! That's it?"
This time, Chu Tiange didn't believe it again, "No, our country only has such a small amount of gold reserves?"
"How many do you think you have?" He chuckled, "Our country only really started to pay attention to gold reserves at the end of the last century. In the past few decades, due to ideological reasons, no one would trade these things with you. Moreover, other developed countries
The reason why the country has a large gold reserve is all related to the war. When they plundered gold, our country was the country being plundered, so having a thousand tons is considered good."
"This is true, but this one thousand tons is too little, right?" Nodding, Chu Tiange looked a little depressed. How could it be said that China is now the second largest economic country, with only one thousand tons of gold reserves?
It doesn't make sense.
"Our country has been increasing its gold reserves in recent years, but not at a fast pace. There is no potential threat of war. It is not necessary to increase gold holdings too fast. If it is too fast, other countries will misunderstand it." The speaker was Ye Qingmei, as the current Ye family
As the person in charge of the group, she has more say in the economic aspect than anyone else.
"Ye Huang, what are you going to do with this gold?" After saying this, Ye Qingmei looked at Ye Huang.
"I don't care, the gold is of no use to me, it's up to them." Shrugging, Ye Huang looked at Stephen and the others.
"Don't look at me, I'm not prepared to ask for it. I can't transport this thing, so it's useless to ask for it. I'm just joining in the fun. Anyway, I'm not short of money." Stephen also shrugged, not at all.
I want this gold.
"What about you?"
Ye Huang turned to look at Fa Sai, Bai Xiong and the others.
"We, it's useless for us to ask for it. Besides, if we don't lack money, you are the eldest brother, so you can make the decision."
"Me too. I can't even spend all the money I make as a killer. I have to worry about this stuff."
Fasai and Baixiong each expressed their attitudes.
Seeing several people saying this, Ye Huang nodded, knowing in his heart that although these guys didn't make as much as himself as killers over the years, each of them earned at least 20 to 30 million US dollars.
This money is enough for them to use for a lifetime, and this bulky gold really doesn't have much appeal to them.
The reason why they said they were obsessed with gold before was because they liked the adventurous process, but they really didn't have much interest in gold.
"What about Qian Qi and the Emperor? What about you, do you want them?"
"Why do you want this thing? My Nalan family's wealth is probably enough for me to spend several lifetimes. It's really pointless to get these things back. However, looking at this thing, I can't help but get one as a souvenir. Hehe, I'll take it
One piece is ready."
Nalan Qianqi chuckled, stepped forward, weighed a gold brick, and put it into his arms. As a result, the thing was so heavy that it fell out of his trouser legs, which made him a little embarrassed. "Forget it, it seems.
I don’t have this life!”
With that said, Nalan Ganqi threw it back again.
Seeing him like this, and seeing that Xing Tian had no intention of asking for it, Ye Huang understood that they were planning to let him handle the gold.
He glanced at Wang Zhi and Wang Dabiao and said, "You two, I won't give it to you. When I get back, I will give you several million each. What do you think?"
"Brother, why don't we use these? We will be satisfied if we can escape this time. Why do we need these?"
Wang Zhi smiled and said.
"That's right, Master, you have already saved our lives. How can we ask for this thing again? Besides, we can't help much." Wang Dabiao also interjected.
"Haha, you have to get married and have a wife, right? There is no need to discuss this matter, I have made the decision. Not only you, when I find Xu Ke and the others, I will also share their share. They are all my brothers. For Yanhuang
Yes, you are the ones who suffer the consequences, I cannot be unkind and unjust."
He patted Wang Zhi on the shoulder, both of them had moist eyes.
"Auntie, I plan to donate this gold to the country, do you agree?" In fact, he had this idea before his aunt asked Ye Huang just now. Now that everyone has no objections, he can make the decision.
"My aunt will not interfere in this matter. It is up to you to decide what you want to do with the gold. However, donating the gold to the country is indeed a good choice. There will be some problems with your affairs in Yanjing in the future.
A small boost.”
With a chuckle, Ye Qingmei seemed very happy about her nephew's decision.
Although eighteen tons of gold is not a small amount, for the Ye family, it is not an amount that cannot be discarded.
Domestically, keeping a large amount of gold privately would not only be of no benefit, but would actually cause unnecessary trouble. Donating it to the country would not only be personally beneficial to Emperor Ye, but would also be of great benefit to the Ye family.
The country will never forget the families and individuals who have contributed to the country. From this point of view, Ye Huang made this move extremely cleverly.
During the Chinese New Year, Emperor Ye saved Chief No. 1, which was considered a great achievement. This time, he donated eighteen tons of gold to enrich the national treasury, which was also considered a great achievement. It can be said that this will be the future for Emperor Ye.
Capital based on China.
"Then it's settled! In addition, there are a lot of other gems, antiques and other things inside. You go over and have a look. If you find something you like, just take it. They are all picked up for free anyway.
.Wangyou, Yinzhu, you guys should go and have a look, just take whatever you like."
Seeing that no one objected, Emperor Ye immediately spoke to everyone after making his decision.
In fact, in Ye Huang's opinion, other things besides gold are much more than this gold before. Of course, this refers to the prosperous times.
Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, after all, this saying has been passed down for thousands of years and has been verified for thousands of years.
Nowadays, an antique is worth tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars. It seems very valuable, but in troubled times, it will depreciate significantly. The real preservation of value is gold, some diamonds, gems and the like.
"Hehe, you're welcome then. Senior sister, let's go and have a look."
As soon as Ye Huang said this, the others had no reaction, but Duanmu Yinzhu let out a chuckle first, picked up Wage Wangyou and went deeper into the cave.
"It's time for you all to go. I'll be generous this time."
"Since the eldest brother said so, let's go get something." After saying that, Stephen and the others followed him with a smile. Wang Dabiao and Wang Zhi looked at each other and followed suit.
In the end, only Ye Huang, Ye Qingmei, Qinglong, and Waka Chongshan did not move.
