Chapter 0216: What the hell happened to the Rothschilds
"It's not a solution, at least the Rothschilds are not completely invincible!" Qiao Tianyu explained.
"The Rothschilds are indeed very large and have built a very large financial empire, but then again, it does not mean that the bigger the family business, the more indestructible it is!"
"I don't understand, it stands to reason that the bigger the family business, the stronger its ability to resist risks!" Michelle asked, puzzled.
"It's not what you think. Qiao Tianyu then explained.
Indeed, at the beginning, as the family gradually expanded, the capital industry in the family's hands accumulated and expanded rapidly, and the various industries assisted each other, and their ability to resist risks and interference was stronger. ”
However, as the family grows larger and has more and more industries, more and more manpower, material and financial resources are needed to maintain the normal operation of the family industry, and at the same time, the family's ability to control the situation and control the overall situation is getting higher and higher. ”
"When the family expands to a certain size and builds a huge financial empire, the requirements for the family's ability to control it will also reach the extreme. ”
"At this time, this financial empire is like a sophisticated instrument, and while the various parts cooperate with each other, there is also a strong mutual constraint, and there is no room for a little problem, otherwise it will lead to the collapse of the whole instrument. ”
And as the financial empire grows larger, the more sophisticated and complex the instrument becomes, the stronger the mutual constraints between various departments, and its ability to resist risks will not increase but decrease. ”
"When a certain tipping point is reached, the empire has reached its peak, and if it continues to expand, the empire will become fragile, and any small wind and grass can cause a chain reaction like dominoes, and eventually lead to the collapse of the entire empire. ”
"Oh, I understand. After listening to Qiao Tianyu's explanation, Michelle suddenly realized, "That is to say, as long as you find the weak link of this financial empire and give it a fierce blow, you can overthrow the entire empire!"
"Yes, that's the truth in principle!" Qiao Tianyu nodded and said.
"Understood. Michelle's face was a lot soothed, but at this time, Michelle's mobile phone rang, and when Michelle answered the phone, her newly relieved face became nervous again.
"Michelle, is something happening?" Seeing that Michelle's face was wrong, after she put down the phone, Qiao Tianyu hurriedly asked.
"Joe, you guessed it this time. Michelle said in a trance, "Last night I asked the KGB to investigate the matter of Rothschild gold, and the KGB just replied to me. ”
"What's going on, tell me about it. Qiao Tianyu hurriedly asked when he heard this.
"As you expected yesterday, the KGB reviewed historical data since World War II and found that the Rothschilds had about 13,000 tons of gold in the 50 years since the end of World War II!" Michelle explained.
"The KGB also reviewed a top-secret document from the Military Intelligence of the Wehrmacht during World War II, when the Military Intelligence Investigation of the total amount of gold in the Rothschild family's reserves was estimated at 27,000 tons!"
"That is, preliminary speculation is that the total gold reserves of the Rothschilds are not 30,000 tons, but 40,000 tons!"
I'm going to rub it!
40,000 tons of gold?
In 1994, the total amount of gold reserves of the central banks of all countries in the world was about 30,000 tons, and the total amount of gold mined in human history was only about 140,000 tons!
This means that the gold reserves of a Rothschild family far exceed the total amount of gold reserves of the central banks of all countries in the world, accounting for nearly 30% of the total gold mined by mankind!
It's so arrogant!
However, Qiao Tianyu didn't understand a little, the Rothschild family has so much gold reserves, he had already said it yesterday, it wouldn't make Michelle so shocked, right?
"The point is that the Rothschilds have been too abnormal lately!" Michelle then explained.
"The KGB analyzed the transactions in the international gold market in the past three months, and found that the Rothschilds have recently made frequent shipments in the world's gold trading centers such as London, Zurich, New York, and ** through a number of intermediaries. ”
"In the past month, the Rothschild family has reduced its holdings of nearly 20,000 tons of gold reserves, and due to the family's sale of gold, the international gold price has also fallen, from $520 an ounce a month ago to $378 an ounce now!"
"Reduced holdings of 20,000 tons of gold reserves in a month?" Qiao Tianyu was dumbfounded when he heard it.
What is the situation? 20,000 tons of gold, that's half of the Rothschilds' gold reserves, what is going on with the Rothschilds, why are they selling gold so wildly?
"I don't know yet. Michelle shook her head, "Now the KGB is investigating, and we will be notified as soon as there is news." ”
"Okay!" Qiao Tianyu nodded vigorously, this time it was really thanks to the help of the KGB, otherwise Qiao Tianyu would not have known about these situations at all.
About a quarter of an hour later, Qiao Tianyu parked the car in front of Cui Laosan's villa.
However, before going in, Qiao Tianyu told Michelle about his relationship with the little chubby face and Cui Laosan, and told her that if Cui Laosan didn't give her a good face, she should not care.
"The two of us are partners, okay?!" Michelle glanced at Qiao Tianyu angrily, and swaggered towards the villa.
Hey, this savage is even better than a chubby face!
As soon as I entered the villa, I smelled its fragrance before I saw it, and a faint fragrance of osmanthus came to my face.
However, unlike the previous refreshment, this time the fragrance of osmanthus made people calm down, and the whole person was calmed a lot.
"This smells ......" Michelle frowned, not seeming to be used to this fragrance.
"The Cui family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and they are the best at perfumery, and they will get used to it after a while. Qiao Tianyu hurriedly explained to Michelle.
While speaking, the two had already come to the living room, and at this time, Cui Laosan was wearing a pale yellow practice uniform, meditating calmly, like a Taoist leader with a fairy wind and bones.
"Third Master ......" came to Cui Laosan, Qiao Tianyu leaned down and shouted softly.
"Well, here we are. Cui Lao Sanchang took a breath of fresh air, made a "harvest" action, and slowly opened his eyes.
"This is ......" As Qiao Tianyu expected, when Cui Laosan saw Michelle, he also frowned and looked unhappy.
"Third master, this is Michelle, an official of the Russian State Property Committee, and Chubais asked her to cooperate with me to buy 5,000 tons of gold. Qiao Tianyu hurriedly explained......
