"Can you imagine? The price of potatoes in Houston is now as high as two silver coins per kilogram." After visiting the farm on the outskirts of the city, the thin old man Dave returned to the hotel. He placed several large potatoes on the table in the living room.
Picked fresh today.
"All the potatoes we eat now are grown in Havana, and the Chinese have made a fortune from it. Their early-maturing varieties can be harvested in only two months, and now the yield per mu has reached 1.5 tons, and there is still great growth.
space.
To prevent potato diseases, they need pesticides. To increase potato yields, they need chemical fertilizers and farm machinery. To increase the value of potatoes, they need deep processing plants. They need a lot of things."
Old Dave sighed again when he said this, "There are already several agricultural technology companies in Houston serving the farms in Havana. The farmers here are very generous, allowing a group of our officials to make a lot of money."
"We can also grow potatoes on a large scale," an attaché said.
"Yes, our agricultural institution is also promoting the cultivation of potatoes, and the seed potatoes were purchased at a high price from the Aurora Legion. We paid a large sum of money for this, and even had to exchange it for a batch of special consumables from the aircraft carrier.
We need a lot of things, not only potatoes, but also chickens, ducks, fish and other poultry and livestock. Do you know what we paid for twenty Duroc breeding pigs last week?" Old Dave asked in a self-deprecating tone.
The attendant shook his head and said he didn't know.
"One hundred MV-22 tilt-rotor aircraft, as well as twenty C-130 and five C-17 transport aircraft." Dave kept snorting with dissatisfaction, "That Chinese boy is simply robbing, he took
Nearly one-tenth of our military airlift capacity has been taken away. Although we cannot use them for the time being."
"In addition, the Aurora Legion is also buying products from our refinery on a large scale, almost one ton of vegetables is exchanged for five tons of diesel or gasoline. Yes, the exchange ratio is so unequal, they exchanged five thousand tons of gasoline last month.
But the officials in charge of foreign trade still think this is a good deal."
Dave seemed to be so angry that he was about to vomit blood, but his entourage felt that given the current shortage of vegetables, a one-to-five exchange was not a disadvantage, or even an advantage.
You must know that Texas has many oil fields and refineries like no other. Although only part of the production capacity has been restored, it can already provide tens of thousands of tons of refined oil every month. This alone is enough to overwhelm the poor monthly production capacity of 5,000 tons.
The Havana Refinery.
"The most annoying thing is not only that, the Aurora Legion is unwilling to give up their ridiculous metal currency policy." Dave took out a gold coin and smashed it on the table. It was the legal tender of the Aurora Legion, made of gold, and had a good reputation.
"That Victor Hugo is too stubborn, and his subordinates are also a bunch of idiots, especially that girl named Fox. She is only in her twenties and doesn't know anything about finance. She actually uses extremely inconvenient metal currency to
To trade.”
Dave smashed the gold coins on the table hard, as if he was going to die from anger, "This is reversing history. We should issue banknotes, banknotes guaranteed by national credit! Five times in a row, I expressed my willingness to invest 200 tons of gold in exchange for their right to issue banknotes.
, but they ignored me at all.”
In fact, Mr. Dave not only expressed his willingness to invest 200 tons of gold, but his minimum limit was to provide 500 tons of gold in exchange for the power of the bank to issue banknotes. Such banknotes will be guaranteed by the Aurora Legion's own power.
You must know that most of the gold Zhou Qingfeng has on hand is more than 100 tons obtained from New York. In terms of wealth, he is not as rich as this little Jewish old man. But when it comes to handing over the right to issue currency, let alone Zhou Qingfeng does not agree.
Even Miss Fox shook her head.
"How can we impress the top management of the Aurora Legion?" Old Dave felt that he still had a chance. His failure now must be because he has not found the right method. The Jews believe that as long as they do what they want, everyone can do it.
Be bribed.
The reason why Dave wants to get the currency issuance rights of the Aurora Legion is because the reconstruction of the wasteland will be a long and long process. In this process, countless wealth myths will be created. When everything in the world is destroyed by the cataclysm
After destruction, new rules will naturally appear.
Dave contacted many of his friends in the business world, and they all suffered heavy losses in the catastrophe. All the U.S. dollars stored in the bank were turned into waste paper, which was equivalent to killing the Jews.
However, for Jews who are good at business, continuing to work hard to regain wealth is their greatest meaning in life. They once again pieced together a huge amount of gold and wanted to regain financial power.
But compared to the amount of gold, David Lawrence, who owns thousands of tons of gold from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, is the richest. He is the real rich man. So the Jewish forces simply don't bother to talk to Mr. Lawrence, clearly showing that they can't take advantage!
As for the Enclave, there are a lot of ambitious people, but there are also a lot of smart people who will not easily hand over the right to issue currency. So the forces behind Dave focused on Zhou Qingfeng's Aurora Legion, the third largest force in the Americas.
Showed great resilience and vitality.
In particular, the Ministry of Internal Affairs controlled by Lena Fox continues to promote foreign trade. Miss Fox especially enjoys the power brought by trade. She is born for the economy. She likes to watch Zhou Qingfeng use bug-like abilities to conquer cities and territories, letting the legion's tentacles
Throughout the Americas.
The infinitely dynamic commerce brings huge demand for funds. Ships sailing on the sea carrying various goods, which is a powerful control and influence. The use of metal currency does bring great inconvenience.
Dave came to Havana ostensibly for trade, but actually for finance. He hoped to have a hand in Miss Fox's territory. As long as the Aurora Legion was willing to switch to paper money, the Enclave was also willing to switch to paper money.
After all, when it comes to gold reserves, the Enclave and the Aurora Legion multiplied by ten are not as good as the wealthy David Lawrence. The latter is entrenched in New York and takes a huge advantage. So the Enclave actually wants to exchange paper currency, otherwise the gold
Not enough!
Just look at the Aurora Legion's development, non-stop farming, continuous sales of various daily necessities to the outside world, and even its ability to influence the political situation of a bunch of small forces in South America and the Caribbean. The power within it is already eye-catching.
Dave can easily calculate the benefits of controlling this power. Not to mention controlling the Americas, just controlling the Caribbean will create a huge fortune. He dreams of building his own financial empire and thus affecting the structure of the entire world.
.
"How can I impress Victor Hugo?" Mr. Dave is not someone who gives up easily. He knows that his dream will not be easily achieved. But it is precisely because of the difficulty of realizing the dream that it becomes great.
Thinking about the joy after success, Mr. Dave is very willing to work hard, "I will definitely find a way. Whether it is a king or a commoner, a strong person or a weakling, a god or a mortal, everyone has a weakness, as long as you find the right
