Section 210 Where does the gold come from?
But where did Yang Chao's gold mine come from?
Tell the Germans that it was excavated from the northeast, and that it was true that a small gold mine was opened in Mohe, mined with zha medicine, shipped by train to Lushun, and then sent by ship to the warehouse in Dongying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But Mohe does have gold mines, and it does excavate ores, but China's gold mines are of poor taste.
South Africa's Rand gold mine, with a total reserve of more than 30,000 tons, and the taste is about 30, people who taste less than 10 are too lazy to excavate, and the taste of alchemy residue is more than 1 gram. In later generations of China, a large number of gold mines of less than 1 gram were being excavated, and even the taste of other people's slag was not as good.
The average taste of Mohe's gold minerals is high, but it is only about 7 grams, but the average taste of Yang Chao sold to the Germans is as high as 500 grams, which obviously cannot be Mohe's gold mine.
The gold mines in Mohe are clearly just a trick.
The real gold mine is still in the sea, and it is still the super gold mine off the coast of Japan.
It turned out that the desire was endless, and Yang Chao tried his best to finally come up with the best plan to dig this big gold mine.
In the past, the spacecraft could only dig 10 tons of gold from here every year, mainly due to the power supply constraints of the spacecraft, and the spacecraft that relied on solar energy could only maintain 50,000 kilowatts of power, which could not be changed, and it was impossible to improve it if the main power system was damaged.
After analyzing the way the spacecraft excavates gold in detail, Yang Chao found that the energy consumed by the spacecraft to mine gold ore only accounts for 1% of the energy consumption, and 99% of the energy is actually consumed in the process of separating the gold from the ore.
And the reason why only Yang Chao can excavate this gold mine on the seabed is because the spaceship has the ability to mine on the seabed, and the smelting capacity of the spaceship can be replaced, so Yang Chao thought about it in reverse, and let the spaceship use all the energy to dig for gold, and put the gold ore smelting on land in an ordinary way, which is equivalent to increasing the energy of the spaceship for excavation by 100 times.
Therefore, in the case of simply mining ore, Yang Chao can dig 1,000 tons of gold ore every year.
Moreover, Yang Chao also chooses the richest ore vein core, so that the average taste can reach the level of 500 grams per thousand tons, so that the annual mining capacity is about 1500 tons, and the agreement with the Germans stipulates that Yang Chao's gold is sent to Germany for smelting, of which 1,000 tons are sold to German banks, and the excess is stored in Germany as a savings fund, and Yangzi Bank has the right to use this part of the gold at any time.
Yang Chao intends to use this excess part of gold as capital to promote the gold dollar bills to the international market, so he explained to the Germans in black and white that the excess 500 tons of gold may not necessarily stay in Germany, and it is likely to be transferred between London and Paris to calm down the gold dollar bills, and there are 1,000 tons of gold in hand, and the Germans are willing to agree to anything.
Collou agreed, although Collou knew that he couldn't actually be the master, but he knew that if he was replaced by anyone, he would agree, and the German bank group was no exception, and the German emperor was no exception.
In particular, the German emperor, in recent years, has been holding a whip in his hand, frantically pumping the German financial community, asking him to do everything in his power to increase Germany's gold reserves, because the German emperor has been humiliated in the financial market.
So Ke Lu couldn't wait to sign a contract with Yang Chao to determine this matter, in case there was an accident and other countries would take the lead.
Collou understands very well that if anyone knows that China has a super gold mine with an annual output of 1,000 tons of gold, then I am afraid that the British will not be able to resist jumping out and directly destroying China.
You must know that the British have fought so many wars with the Boers and owe hundreds of millions of pounds, which is nothing more than for South Africa's gold, but now South Africa produces only more than 100 tons of gold a year, which is simply scum compared with the Chinese gold mines with an annual output of 1,000 tons.
Gold, gold!
Collo's mind is full of gold, as a banker he understands the meaning of gold too well, the more gold a country has, the more abundant their capital, the more abundant the funds for the development of the country, although everyone knows that gold is not the only wealth, but gold is the best price of wealth, everything is denominated in gold, gold is the power that dominates everything.
The reason why the pound is so firm is not because the British saved 10,000 tons of gold, and now the Germans have also got this opportunity, using Germany's developed industrial strength to exchange gold with the Chinese, within ten years, Germany will have the gold reserves accumulated by the British for five hundred years, and Germany's industry will gain the market, access to capital, and usher in a period of super development.
Ke Lu not only had bloodshot eyes, but also bloodshot brains, left Yang Chao's big stone house, and rushed to Yantai on the train.
Then instead of going to Deutsch-Hua Bank, I went straight to the consulate and met with the consul.
The German consulate then sent the message back to the country in secret using the diplomatic code in case of emergency, and first sent it directly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not to the banking syndicates.
When the foreign minister got this secret news, he couldn't believe it at first, and asked the telegraph operator to confirm whether there was a translation mistake and wrote an extra "zero".
After repeatedly confirming and even communicating with Yantai again by secret telegram, the foreign minister did not dare to delay, and with the telegram, he was about to meet the Kaiser.
Kaiser Wilhelm II has been in a good mood lately, in the world economic crisis, the German economy is doing well, this year's economy has reached 8% growth, this figure is a miracle, but if you consider that it is still a world economic crisis, it cannot be explained by a simple miracle.
The Minister of Industry told Wilhelm that all this depends on waves of investment frenzy by the Chinese, but the Minister of Industry also reminded Wilhelm II with concern, he believes that this kind of investment by the Chinese cannot last long, may collapse at any time, and Germany is likely to be involved, so he implored Wilhelm II to allow the Ministry of Industry to remind German industry to be cautious about investing in China.
Wilhelm II agreed with the Minister of Industry, although from China's development, Germany has received the greatest benefits, but he also understands that the Chinese's kind of play is too amateurish, completely contrary to the law of development, completely brutal, is to use money to smash.
In this regard, Wilhelm II was full of contempt for the Chinese: the industrial system can only be smashed with money?
Although reluctant to lose temporary benefits, Wilhelm II chose to develop steadily for the sake of long-term considerations, so as not to implicate Germany.
Just like the unlucky British, since 1907, life has not been good, the United States financial crisis, Shanghai gold speculation, London rubber crisis, etc., three economic crises broke out in four years, gold reserves were swept away more than 2,000 tons, Germany does not have such a thick foundation, if Germany is swept away so much gold, the economy will basically collapse.
As soon as the Minister of Industry left, the Minister of Foreign Affairs came to ask for a meeting, Wilhelm II was a little annoyed, Germany is not good at this, although it is a parliamentary system, but the emperor has a lot of power, and can directly intervene in the government, and because of the traditional relationship, these high-ranking government officials are also very accustomed to when they encounter major matters, they come directly to the emperor, rather than the first to discuss with the chancellor.
But Wilhelm II couldn't refuse, because he knew that this was the guarantee of the German imperial power, and the chancellor was found in small things, and the emperor must come to the emperor in big things, and if he went to the chancellor in big and small things, what did he want to do as an emperor?
"Bernard, what's the matter?"
Wilhelm sat at the table, his crippled left hand holding the scepter studded with blood-red diamonds as a decoration, and his healthy right hand was facing the newspaper, which published a long serial of his favorite journalist Leonie, entitled "The Foresight of the Future of Germany by Chinese Officials", on which Yang Chao's strong praise for Germany, especially the theory that Germany would lead the world, was the favorite of the German emperor, but he read a report three times today and did not finish it, because he was always interrupted.
"Your Majesty, the Chinese want to sell us gold."
Bernard said honestly.
William raised his head, this is a good thing, that Chinese does have a lot of gold.
William took a sip of coffee: "How much is he going to sell?" Well, no matter how much it sells, we're going to buy it! ”
In the era of the gold standard, gold is capital, capital is power, then gold is power!
William thought so.
"1000 tons!"
Bernard replied.
Burst!
Wilhelm II's second sip of coffee squirted directly onto the newspaper.
Incredulous: "That Chinese is crazy, he doesn't want gold reserves anymore!" ”
Even if China is a silver-standard country, it should not sell all its gold reserves.
After saying that, Wilhelm II felt rude and was embarrassed to take out a napkin and wipe his mouth.
Bernard said: "The Chinese plan to sell us 1,000 tons of gold a year!" ”
Wilhelm II, who was wiping the coffee residue from his mouth, suddenly coughed, feeling that the coffee he drank was also surging up and rushing directly to his lungs, and his face was red.
After coughing, he slapped the table hard and glared at Bernard with red eyes:
"After saying it all at once, what the hell is going on!"
Wilhelm II had the posture that if Bernard dared to betray him, he would kill his own foreign minister.
Bernard then said: "There is news from Deutsch-Hua Bank that a giant gold mine has been discovered Chinese......"
Later, Bernard claimed that Yang Chao had developed a large-scale gold mine in the northeast Sino-Russian border area, capable of excavating at least 1,000 tons of gold ore per year, and promised to use this as collateral in exchange for a German loan of 10 billion marks a year.
After listening to this story, Wilhelm II was excited, but there was a special aggrieved feeling in his heart, Nima was a great country, and casually discovered a gold mine that exploited twice the gold reserves of Germany every year.
He is so aggrieved, but also because he feels that the Chinese rely on throwing money, it is really possible to smash out an industrial system, which makes him very uncomfortable, recalling that it took more than half a century for the German predecessors to make Germany's industry surpass France, during which there were many wars and bloodshed, but the Chinese rely on one, have money, buy, and solve it, can he not be wronged.
It's just that the grievances are grievances, but Wilhelm II still reacted, and immediately asked people to quickly call back the Minister of Industry who was going to slow down German industrial investment in China.
Ma's, the Chinese can dig more than 1,000 tons of gold a year, and they are afraid of the collapse of a ball, they can't collapse no matter how they play, at this time to block the Germans to invest, that is purely a stupid thing to cut off the financial path of German industry! (To be continued.) )
