Seven hundred and fortieth chapters precious metal emperor
After watching the confused Black Widow leave, Nick Fury called his subordinate Phil Coulson and asked him to go to Antarctica to check it out in person.
I just sat quietly in the cafe, drinking coffee while watching William's live broadcast of his experiences on the surface of Mars.
But he didn't know that his decision to let go of the investigation and destroy the second spacecraft had saved his own life, otherwise William would not let go of anyone who wanted him dead and took actual actions.
Watching William walking on the gravel ground on the surface of Mars on TV, Nick Fury's eyes were dazzled, and suddenly he felt a golden light on the screen dazzle his eyes.
Nick Fury, who thought he was dazzled, heard other customers in the cafe who were also watching shout in surprise,
"God, that can't be Sands."
As soon as these words came out, other customers who were as puzzled as Nick Fury stood up in surprise and stared at the TV.
William, who had already known what was under the sand, pretended to be surprised, looked down, was stunned for a few seconds, shook his head violently, and then shouted excitedly,
"God, this can't be true",
Immediately afterwards, audiences around the world saw the several footprints that William walked through, shining brightly and dazzlingly under the sand and gravel.
Crouching on the ground with his knees bent, William reached out and fished a handful under the gravel under the live broadcast.
Under the sunlight, he saw the glittering golden sand appearing in the eyes of him and the audience around the world.
"Here, here, here",
Under everyone's envious and jealous gazes, William stretched out his hand and took out five or six handfuls of sand in a radius of about ten square meters, and golden sand appeared in his palms.
Finally, he stood up impatiently and kicked with his feet, causing gold sand to fly for a while.
Kicked along the center of the sand bed for a full twenty meters,
Not only did the golden sand not decrease, but the depth of the burial was getting lower and lower, and then he said with an expression that made his teeth itch with hatred and his eyes were shining,
"This, this, I probably landed on the golden bed of an ancient river that has dried up."
Grabbing the live broadcast ball that automatically flew in the air, William started shooting towards the canyon,
Looking at the canyon that is more than a hundred meters wide and several hundred meters long before and after the corner,
William pretended to be happy, returned to the spacecraft, took out a portable shovel, and ran quickly for dozens of meters.
In the middle of the sand bed designated on Sunday, a shovel was shoveled into the sand, bringing out a piece of shining golden sand.
He shouted in a low voice, "God bless you", then ran a few dozen meters, shoveled down a shovelful of gold sand, and once again brought out one-third of the shovelful of gold sand.
Then I dug several shovels along the sand bed toward the rock masses on both sides of the canyon, and the golden sand became less and less.
It wasn't until we were about thirty meters away from the rock mass that we dug a few shovels and found no gold.
"My God," William said to the live ball while holding a shovel and looking around, pretending to be frightened.
"If the ground in the middle of this canyon is full of golden sand, then, then,"
After trembling for a long time, under the envious and impatient eyes of the audience around the world, he said,
"One cubic meter of pure gold is 19.2 tons, even if there is only a shallow layer of gold sand here."
He silently calculated and then said, "Not counting the canyon outside the corner in the distance, only the canyon I can see.
For a riverbed that is more than 100 meters wide, only the middle part of the riverbed has flowing gold sand. We calculate it based on the minimum standard of 20 meters wide and one kilometer long.
The conservative estimate here is only a few thousand tons of gold. A slightly more normal estimate may be tens of thousands of tons.
Calculated based on only four thousand tons of gold, as long as it takes a few years to transport the gold back to Blue Star, I should immediately become the richest individual in the world."
After saying that, William was silent for a few seconds and suddenly shook his head and said, "No, I don't have to wait for several years to transport the gold back. I just need to let my lawyer help me set up a family.
A company called Devonshire Mars Mining Group, from the moment it was founded, has been the most valuable company in the world."
"Because", William directed the live broadcast ball to fly high into the sky, intuitively allowing all viewers to see a canyon dozens of kilometers long.
"It is conservatively estimated that there are tens of thousands of tons of gold in this canyon, and the only obstacle to transporting them back to Blue Star is the spacecraft.
Even if only ten spaceships are built to avoid a sharp drop in the price of gold, then there will be three round trips per year, with a load of fifty tons each time. In one year, ten spaceships can transport 1,500 tons of gold.
According to reliable data, only about 3,000 tons of gold were mined around the world last year.
Moreover, the demand for gold purchased by ordinary people and the gold consumed by industry are also increasing year by year.
Although the shipment of these 1,500 tons of gold will affect the price of gold, it will never cause the price of gold to fall to the price of ordinary metals.
The price of gold will fall in the short term, but in the long term, as long as I use the gold, it will only be sold at a price three levels higher than Blue Star’s mining cost line.
In the future, Blue Star's gold mining volume will shrink significantly due to cost reasons, and the relationship between supply and demand will be balanced again.
Moreover, this canyon alone is enough for my mining company to mine for at least twenty years. In addition, Mars is not the only place where gold exists, nor can it only be mined.
There must be more gold and other precious metals more valuable than gold in the Olympus volcano, which is the highest in the solar system and is larger than England."
Speaking of this, William said with some excitement, "In the future, as long as Mars mining truly forms the mining of precious metals on Mars, I will become the true number one person in the metal industry and the richest person in the world."
After speaking, William opened his hands and murmured in a low voice, "I am the person who monopolizes all the resources of the entire planet."
"fk, is this okay?"
Audiences all over the world were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. Most of them jealously cursed William,
I couldn't help but secretly wonder, if this Mars mining company was established, would I go bankrupt to snap up the issued shares?
Within a few seconds of this question, people calculated in their minds that the golden sand discovered now was just a section of the canyon.
In addition, it is the easiest open-pit gold mine to mine. Apart from the construction of the spacecraft and the energy cost of traveling to and from Blue Star, there are basically no other mining costs.
"Hey", when the audience was calculating the cost and financial prospects, they heard William sigh heavily,
"Everyone in England will probably be grateful to me in the future. In this economic downturn, as soon as the gold is shipped back to London, the English government will be able to collect more than 10 billion US dollars in mineral taxes every year.
There are also ten spaceships expected to be built, which will also cost tens of billions of dollars.
Not only can it drive the development of related industries worth tens of billions of dollars, but it can also provide jobs and salary increases for hundreds of thousands of people."
William smiled at the live broadcast channel, "Should I ask my team of lawyers to carefully study the tax provisions?
Let’s look at the wealth shipped back from extraterrestrials. Do we need to pay taxes and how much do we need to pay?”
"After all, according to the current tax rate, that is more than 13 billion US dollars."
