Chapter 488: This Is Not Silver

The door to the empty storeroom was no longer locked, and when the group got to the opposite side, Alyosha shot another shot at the padlock. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The door was not opened for the time being, and Zhang Nan still had the leisure to joke: "Guess what will happen?"

"Gold", "Silver", "Golden Buddha", "Jewelry", "Antiques", ...... A group of people answered everything, but no one said weapons and ammunition: there are not enough things to kill people, so there is no reason to bury them.

Opinions are not in agreement, and the taste of this treasure hunt jackpot comes out.

Looking at Alyosha's Randy by the door, Zhang Nan nodded, "Let's go." ”

As soon as the door opened, a white sheet of metal reflected the light in the lightβ€”not empty, and there was a row of shelves with layers of white metal neatly arranged on top, and some crates on the sides.

"Silver. ”

It was Lin Man who spoke: Although it is not as amazing as a room of gold bricks, this silver is also dazzling!

Although it was not as full as the third warehouse, it did not disappoint everyone: at least one or two hundred tons of silver, how could it be disappointed?

"Lin Man, can you go and move a piece?"

Zhang Nan's tone of voice was a bit interesting, which made the guys feel that there was something wrong inside.

If the boss has orders, the bodyguards will carry them out, and if there is a problem, they will have to do it.

The volume of each piece of "silver" is larger than ten kilograms of gold bricks, and this Lin Man felt wrong as soon as he got started, and he almost smashed his foot!

"Boss, this is not silver. As he spoke, Lin Man glanced at the mark on his head, "Pt950, yes..."

In mind, he wasn't a metal expert, let alone a jewellery connoisseur.

Zhang Nan interjected: "It's platinum, which is what we often call platinum, with a specific gravity of 21.45, which is larger than gold and more than twice that of silver." ”

That's half a room full of platinum!

Platinum, good thing! This would make platinum two-thirds more expensive than gold!

There have only been two times in history when the price of platinum was lower than that of gold, and the next time was nearly 30 years later, and Zhang Nan knew that in the past 20 years, the price of platinum exceeded $2,200 per ounce once, and that was in 08, when the Chinese Olympic Games were held.

Everyone is used to seeing gold, not to mention a room of platinum bricks, even if it is a single piece in this life, it is the first time to see it.

Everyone didn't take the ones on the shelf, so they passed on the piece that Lin Man took down: the volume is not large, and the weight is marked "20kg" on it, and one ingot is 20 kilograms!

Xiang Weirong looked at it in his hand, "How do you see it?"

Hearing his brother-in-law's question, Zhang Nan said: "If it was silver, the surface would have turned black after so many years." And the platinum color is a little gray and white, which is very recognizable. ”

For Zhang Nan, it is easy to recognize, and he can even recognize palladium, let alone platinum.

However, the others obviously don't have this ability, and they all think that platinum is also silvery-white. Coupled with habitual thinking, when I see white precious metals, I think it is silver, and I forget that the surface of silver will oxidize.

At this point, Zhang Nan added: "It's quite rare, it seems that at that time, the U.S. military really blocked the sea to death, and even platinum couldn't transport the little devil's homeland." ”

To develop the military industry, platinum is generally indispensable: platinum group metals are widely used as catalysts in the chemical industry, 85% of the world's chemical products are related to catalysts, and platinum group metals are the best and most widely used catalysts.

Platinum was so useful for military purposes that the shrewd United States banned its exports during World War II and for a long time after World War II.

In this count, there were about 300 tons of platinum, and even those boxes contained platinum, but the purity was Pt900, and each piece was only ten kilograms.

Zhang Nan is very happy, not to mention that these 300 tons of platinum are worth at least 6 billion US dollars now, which can ensure that his diamond group will not have to worry about the price fluctuations of platinum for decades.

You must know that this diamond jewelry will require a large amount of platinum, and you don't need to worry about the ups and downs of the market price if you have it in your hand.

Of course, it won't take so much, and a batch will be sold, and platinum will not be sold anyway.

And after 20 years, no matter how much platinum inventory is still on hand, Zhang Nan will sell it in the market, because after 08 years, the price of platinum will almost go all the way down, and it will be a little fluctuating in 11 years.

By 2016, the international price of platinum could not be half of what it was in '08, and it would be a fool not to sell it in '08.

Lock the door and stop picking it.

So far, nearly 3,000 tons of precious metals, more than 1,500 tons of gold bricks, 1,500 to 1,600 tons of silver dollars, and these 300 tons of platinum have been discovered, which will add up to more than 26 billion US dollars!

The guys have this account in their hearts, the boss has made a lot of money, and everyone has a good life. The most interesting thing is Thomas, who said: "Boss, I think you can go and get a piece of land and become the emperor!"

"Emperor? It's outdated, and if it's unstable, it's okay to open a bank. ”

Men, who wouldn't want to be an emperor if they could be emperors?

But it's not that simple, times are different. And in the next 20 years, the international chaos was to death, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States, which is the dominant one, didn't even bother to use carrots, and directly used a mace to cause trouble everywhere.

If you go to build a piece of land that does not belong to any country, or go to Africa to subvert some small country, and stand behind it and become the emperor - it doesn't matter if you are poor, just like in Somalia, the Yankees see that they have no oil and water, and they don't even want to lose face, they run faster than rabbits, and they don't care what happens to you in Somalia.

The Yankees, who shout "maintain world peace" all day long, are good if they are good, and if they are not...

Always the first to retreat!

Reality, very realistic, this is the external environment of the world in the future -- if you go to Africa to get a small country out and still have money in your pocket, then the Yankees, the British, and the African colonizers will be surrounded by swarms in France, and then it is estimated that they will be able to run back to China to live a stable life.

Why don't you go to the islands in the South Pacific?

Forget it, it's no problem to go on a trip, but Zhang Nan hates that he is almost as tanned as an Indonesian monkey.

Several bodyguards carried the boxes out of the tunnel, loaded into the SUV at the door, and prepared to faint in the barracks. And here, Cuenca started the excavator again, blocked the hole, and handed the key to Zhang Nan again.

This time I didn't refuse, stuffed it in my pocket and got into the SUV.

Cuenca, very detail-oriented.

After returning to the barracks, the four ammunition boxes were carried into Zhang Nan's room, and Captain Philip and Cuenca were also arranged to have a double room, and by the way, they received a full set of tropical training uniforms and shoes that would have been distributed in the camp.

In a hurry, these two didn't bring a change of clothes.
