Britain is a bellwether for all countries in the world, and now that the London government has taken measures, everyone will naturally be the first to follow suit.

Soon, European and American countries announced that they would raise tariffs, and countries that did not abandon the gold standard also abandoned the gold standard, and the price of gold in the international market plummeted.

What was Ferdinand doing at this time? Of course, it's buying, buying, buying? At this time, if you don't buy gold, when will you buy it?

Gold won't depreciate? That's!

I have never heard of a sentence, twenty years ago, one ton of gold could buy a street in the capital, and twenty years later, one ton of gold could buy a shop in the capital at most!

On the surface, the price of gold has not fallen much? In fact, inflation happens all the time, and there is no way around it.

In fact, the purchase of gold is still a small business, and governments are not stupid to let a large amount of gold flow out, and the main purpose is to buy antiques and cultural relics.

The purchase of gold is just a diversion from the fact that as long as there are still human beings who still use gold as currency, the price of gold will not fall too much.

Ferdinand was not picky, and he was unaware of antiques and artifacts from all over the world.

The economic crisis broke out, and the antiques and cultural relics that are usually rare can be sold at this time.

In the face of survival, who can take care of antiques and cultural relics?

"James, you can see clearly that this is a treasure left over from the Sun Dynasty, how can it be worth five pounds?" One growled

"Will is enough! I'll pay five pounds, which is already a sky-high price, you go out and inquire yourself, now at this time, the price of antiques on the market?

Is there a higher bid than me? If you have one, you can sell it to them! James said impatiently

"Mr. James, your antique shop is still open in this area, where can I inquire?" Will said with a frown

"It's good to know, it's a time of economic crisis, antiques are not worth anything at all, and whether I can find a buyer for these goods is a question?

Besides, you're still an antique from the Sun Dynasty, and these things have never been worth much in Britain.

Think about it, how many plutocrats would be interested in Indian civilization? James continued

"But Mr. James, this is a scepter? Its historical status is extraordinary, how can it be compared with ordinary antiques?

Before the economic crisis, I didn't sell you for 300 pounds, so how can it be worth 100 pounds at this time, right? Will bargained again

"You know it's a time of economic crisis, right? A hundred pounds, why don't you grab it? If it was a scepter left over from the Roman Empire, it would be pretty much the same!

Now I can only give you a maximum of £7, which is already a high price. You have to understand that the current market situation cannot be compared with normal times, if you want to sell at a high price, just wait for the economic crisis to end! James said indifferently

In the past month or so, he has received more antiques than in previous years, one more and one less, and he really doesn't care anymore.

Originally, in this economic crisis, he also suffered heavy losses, owed a lot of debts, and was about to go bankrupt.

A former old customer contacted him and bought all his antiques at the price of cabbage at one time, so that he could pay back the interest and not go bankrupt immediately!

Later he learned that someone was buying antiques, and as many as they wanted. James wasn't stupid, he knew there must be big shots at the bottom.

At this time, as long as you can rub it, you can not only pay off your debts, but also make a lot of money.

Anyway, the water in the antiques industry is very deep, and it has been more than 30 years in this industry, and James has long been a human being.

Because of the relationship of advanced consumption, the British people basically have a lot of debt, and when the economy is doing well, they have a salary to pay off the debt, and it is not a big problem.

As soon as the economic crisis broke out and the wave of unemployment came, everyone had no money to repay the loans.

Not only that, but many people are unable to make ends meet, and in order to survive, they can only rely on selling assets to support themselves.

Historically, millions of people have died in the current economic crisis in the United States, and we know how terrible the economic crisis is.

"Fifty pounds, it can't be any lower! If it goes any lower, I'd rather ruin it! Will said nervously

"Ten pounds, you can do whatever you like, beyond this price, I will lose money, the antiques of this period are not worth much!"

James once again emphasized that antiques are not valuable, which is the most common and practical tactic he employs.

Ever since Will walked into his shop, James has been instilling in him that antiques are worthless in times of economic crisis, constantly driving down the price in his heart.

"Mr. James, it's really not good, this price is too low, we are all old neighbors, we have lived on this street for so long, you must help me this time!

Now I'm unemployed, my lover is unemployed, I still have three children to support, and now we need a sum of money to survive, please, God will bless you! Will said excitedly

"Well, whoever called me a good man, for the sake of your long-standing neighbors, I'll give you another five pounds, and I'll do the business for nothing.

With this money saved, it should be enough for you to last for more than three months.

During this time, you should be able to find a new job, all this will pass, the future will be better, may God bless you! James said reverently

Obviously, James is very observant, and he finds that Will is about to have a nervous breakdown, and this time cannot stimulate him.

A person who is going to have a nervous breakdown must give him a life-saving straw, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

James is a businessman, he knows the truth of taking what he sees, and first draws a big pie for Will so that he can see the hope of the future.

Even if he has a mental breakdown in the future and wants to return to society, he will go to someone else, instead of letting him collapse right now.

This is not good, the collapsed Will directly shot him, and there are not a few British folk guns in this year.

Almost all European and American countries allow citizens to own guns, and even the most basic supervision is not very strict.

As early as 1688, the Bill of Rights stated:

Whoever is a Protestant subject may, for the sake of defence, be prepared with weapons at his discretion and to the extent permitted by law.

The people can rob it, so the officials of European and American governments are all high-risk jobs, and if they want to exploit unscrupulously, they all want to kill people.

The death rate of the president of the United States is as high as 20 percent, which is even more dangerous than going to war.

The oppression of workers by the capitalists is nowhere near as terrible as in the textbooks, unless they are not afraid of being shot.

"Thank you, Mr. James!" Will said excitedly

"You're welcome, accompany your family well, as long as the person is still there, everything can start all over again!" James reassured

……

After sending Will away, James's nervous mood slowly relaxed, taking advantage of the fire to rob the business is indeed profitable, but it is also dangerous!

According to information published on the news, after the stock market crash, there were more than 10,000 shootings in London alone, and London's prisons were already overcrowded.

In the face of disasters, people are always vulnerable, and the economic crisis destroys not only the economy, but also people's fragile hearts.

Today's London is full of crimes and is overwhelming.

Even the legendary hero Robin Hood has been resurrected, and there are people who, under his banner, have organized themselves to rob the rich and the poor, all wearing masks and robbing banks everywhere.

After each robbery, they would throw large sums of cash on the ground for the people to pick up, and they would take only a hundred pounds per person for each operation.

So far, the gang has ransacked more than 30 bank branches, and the police have not caught them.

Every time the British police are dispatched, countless British people cover their evacuation, and they are almost like heroes.

Of course, this also has something to do with the lack of hard work of the police, and like most people, many police officers also agree with their approach deep down.

As long as there is no resistance, the Robin Hood organization will not hurt people, which can be regarded as a typical case of peaceful robbery.

In the street tabloids, these groups became heroes, attracted a gang of "thieves", and then quickly spread from London to the world.

A series of large cities such as Paris, New York, Washington, Lisbon, Venice, Rome, Berlin, and Vienna have successively appeared in the figure of "Robin Hood".

Ferdinand, the initiator, dared to guarantee that none of this had anything to do with him, at most he only guided and promoted the heroism of Robin Hood.

As a person with vested interests, how could he advocate "robbing the rich and helping the poor"? Isn't this hard to get along with yourself?

These are all caused by their self-taught talent and crooked talent tree!

However, Bulgarian film companies have new filming materials, "Robin Hood" has been quickly established, and many film companies have started movies with this theme.

If nothing else, this is still a series of movies, and it seems that any city where Robin Hood has appeared can make a movie, and the villains are, of course, governments.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with Bulgaria, they are sorry for the audience if they are not black, and movies adapted from realistic themes are the most resonant in this era.

Of course, the protagonist is not necessarily called Robin Hood, Zhou Binghan and Li Binghan can be, just change the name, otherwise a bunch of Robin Hood will come out, how can this copyright be calculated?

Box office? In this era, as long as the domestic box office is high enough, Europe and the United States will sell three melons and two dates at most, even if some countries are banned, it doesn't matter, the main communication channel in this era is piracy.

Pirates don't care about government decrees, and after this incident, it is estimated that the number of countries learning from Bulgaria will increase a lot.

The generation that has just been hurt by the stock market crash will probably remember it vividly, and Ferdinand can guess which countries will announce the closure of the stock market after Bulgaria.

These are precedents for people who have suffered heavy losses in the wake of a stock market crash and demand the closure of the stock market, which is not uncommon on the European continent.

It's just that it can't hold on every time, as soon as the economy returns to normal, and then with the efforts of the capitalists, soon the stock market opens again.

……

London

As the first place where the Rogue Robin Hood appeared, the MacDonald government is Alexander, and such a rampant gang has not been caught until now, doesn't this mean that they are incompetent?

The capitalists are putting increasing pressure on the government, especially the interest groups whose interests have been damaged by the government's new economy, and they are already plotting their downfall.

It's just that at this time, it's still a mess, and no politician wants to take over at this time, otherwise the government's impeachment bill has already entered the parliament for a vote.

The most direct manifestation of this is the split of the Labour Party, which has ousted MacDonald, the leader of the Labour Party, and has been forced to form the National Labour Party.

This is also a legend in British history, under normal circumstances, politicians rarely do such a desperate thing, even if they don't support him, they won't expel the party leader?

It can only be said that the interests are moving, and the capitalists who support the Labour Party behind the scenes have abandoned MacDonald, and the Labour Party will naturally break with him, otherwise where will the financiers not be able to explain?

"Rice, when will this gang of thieves be caught?" Prime Minister Macdonald asked with a frown

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I can't answer this question, although these robberies seem to be committed by a group of people on the surface, but according to the police investigation at the scene, this is not the case!

The criminals who initially played the banner of Robin Hood had a very professional modus operandi, from the beginning of the robbery to the evacuation, they were all organized, and most of the money they robbed was distributed to the people.

Since there was no exchange of fire, it is not known what their actual combat capabilities were.

In the next few cases, the modus operandi was much more amateurish, but their marksmanship was very good, and when they fought with the bank security guards, they showed a high level of military literacy, like soldiers.

When they finally left, although they also scattered a large amount of cash on the ground, they took the gold with them, and they were much more greedy than the gang in front of them.

And there was some panic during the evacuation, if it wasn't for the citizens of London who deliberately obstructed the actions of the police and covered their retreat, they would have been caught by the police.

At the moment, we can only send people to guard around the bank, waiting for them to be caught, and it is difficult to catch them all! Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said with a wry smile

"Don't care so much, you can catch as much as you want, live or die, we need to give an explanation to the bankers!" MacDonald thought for a moment and said

It is very difficult to investigate cases in this era, and this is not an ordinary case, even if the real murderer is found, as long as it is not a person who has stolen goods, people can also find alibi evidence, at this time there are too many people in London willing to testify against them!

At that time, it was really troublesome, and if it was not dealt with, it would not be possible to give an explanation to the capitalists, and if it was to be dealt with, it would be impossible to convict at all.

Who called these robbers to rob the rich and help the poor?

In the eyes of ordinary people, they don't see any harm in doing so, and many teenagers in Britain now worship them as heroes.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, we have actually captured a batch of Robin Hoods and are waiting in line for the court trial!

They can all be scapegoats if they need to? Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice proposed

"No, it is impossible to satisfy the capitalists in this way, and the most important thing is to keep the Robin Hood bandits from committing crimes, so that this matter can be over!

Otherwise, even if there are more scapegoats, but the robbery is still going on, do you think they will be satisfied? MacDonald said with a wry smile

In fact, even if all the murderers are caught now, it will not satisfy the capitalists. Unless they can find a way to end the economic crisis immediately, it will not be possible to satisfy everyone with the government.

If he hadn't signed the Special Industries Protection Act and asked the consortium to treat them as their own, they would have been under even more pressure now.

The strength of ordinary capitalists and consortia is not of the same grade, and most of the banks that have been robbed now belong to consortia.

Because the last time they worked together very happily, the consortium thought that the MacDonald cabinet was a friend who could cooperate, so they didn't make trouble for him at this time.

However, human favor is the most unreliable, especially in the face of interests, it doesn't matter if everyone gives face in the short term, and no one's face is good for a long time!
