Chapter 775: Start with Wood, Collapse!
At this time, that is, in the early years of the 20th century, the positioning of this thing is very interesting!
It should be said that historically, in the past, this wood was a particularly important thing, so important that people could not lack such a status.
To put it simply, what can wood do?
Can you burn it?
Heating, cooking...... This thing is the easiest thing to apply.
Can you make furniture?
Everyone knows this furniture, but!
Can it be made into a carriage?
Oh, that's the key!
Wood is the embodiment of the most important position in history, that is, in the era of horse-drawn carriages, because this is the most critical thing, this is the means of transportation!
And ah, wood can still make a house, right?
So, what is the role of this wood relative to us human beings?
Food, clothing, housing and transportation!
Even, eat, drink, and sleep...... The chopsticks are made of wood, the cups are made of wood, it is said that Jesus' father used wooden cups,, the thatched house is made of wood, especially the foot pedals, sleeping, the bed is made of wood!
Wood was one of the most important commodities of human beings in the past!
Except for food, that's what about now?
From Li Mengyang's point of view, it is a traverser's point of view, that is, isn't wood just for furniture?
Yes, that's how it will be in the future, the application of wood is much smaller, and now, it is a time of change!
The production of steel has increased, and other materials have increased, so many things will not be made of wood!
The bed has iron, the meal has an iron rice bowl, the cup can be glass, and the thatched house has also been upgraded. The people of District 11 invented the enamel squatting ......
Anyway, it is at this time that the role of wood is becoming narrower, many places are shrinking, and the most critical place is transportation and fuel!
on fuel. Coal has been burning for many years, and in terms of transportation, it is to make cars......
Now it's not a carriage!
Well, in fact, at the beginning of the car, the wood was also used in a large number of applications, but now, the application of wood is becoming less and less, and many current models have no wood.
Although there are also planes that are made of wood. But it is gradually being replaced by other materials.
That is, wood up to now, is it useful?
Yes!
But how useful is it?
The application of this matter is becoming less and less, and slowly, it is estimated that it will be like Li Mengyang's consciousness, wood is used to make furniture and some gadgets.
Plainly. Demand is falling, and this is falling. It's gradual, not all at once, and it's a particularly interesting situation, which is the ......
Timber is the first commodity to burst in the world's commodity bubble tide!
Before, for various reasons. Materials have been stirred up in the sky, and wood is one of them, very high, but in fact the demand for this thing is not that high, especially with the increasing production of steel. Then the bubble of this thing itself is the most dangerous.
And the other thing......
Don't forget, although the Pacific Empire is very blocked by Britain in the Atlantic, and the Pacific Empire has chosen restraint, we don't have the same knowledge as you British, but what about the other side?
Yes, Siberia!
It's also one of the world's largest timber producing regions, and it's by land......
There is also an important historical event in this, that is, the opening of the Trans-Siberian Railway!
This is a large railway that crosses the whole of Siberia, and the opening of this railway, this ......
At this time, the wood has risen so high!
That's great!
Even, when Comrade Zhang Zuolin saw that the price of this wood was so crazy, he scolded fiercely at that time.
it! Isn't the mountain full of wood? Are Caucasian all stupid?
So, this Comrade Zhang Zuolin was very experienced when he was reclaiming the Great Northern Wilderness, so it was natural to organize a large number of logging teams at this time, and everyone went to cut down trees, and then loaded the car and went directly to the Soviet Union in the west, or by sea.
To the west is the Soviets, and the train has brought in a lot of timber, and they are happy, this thing is good, and it is valuable.
And by sea, you will eventually go to Southeast Asia, where there is the former Lanfang country, they can mix in that area, everyone does business, although the British have a lot of power, but there is also the power of the French, the French see such cheap wood......
Glad!
The French are not as good as the British.
As a result, the demand for timber itself is declining, and then after a period of suffocation, the supply has increased greatly, so how can the price of this timber hold?
Therefore, timber is the first commodity futures in the world to fall!
After the timber, a lot of goods fell because they couldn't hold on!
Of course, there is also the credit of the British blockade, you know, they do this, then it will be difficult for the currency of the Pacific Empire to flow out again, you know, at this time the currency circulation, you still have to rely on the ship to transport it, the current money carriers, and the future cash trucks are no different.
The Pacific Empire chose restraint, after all, it's still not good for everyone to completely tear their faces now, although the British approach is similar to a declaration of war, but they didn't officially declare war after all, right?
Then, this is tantamount to artificial, powerful, and turning off the faucet!
Of course, this is even more unbearable!
So......
"Oh my God! How so?! ”
"Oh God! Is this the end of the world? ”
"I don't want it! Nothing! I'm going to get rid of everything! ”
The London Metal Exchange, as you know the name, is a place that trades all kinds of metals, and this institution was established in 1876, and now it is more than 30 years old. But now, these various metal futures are simply ...... I don't even know the anymore!
In fact, the previous collapse of timber has caused the closure of some commodity exchanges, but now it has spread to the metal side.
In fact. This metal exchange alone can show that the timber will definitely be dumped, because the trading volume of the metal exchange is getting bigger and bigger.
But now, what can I do with the crazy killing?
"It's all over...... It's all over...... It's all over ......."
In the chaotic metal exchange at this time, a gray-haired guy who didn't seem to be too old seemed to be too old, and he was dangling there like a puppet with a broken string. This person is William Cameron!
That's right, it's the Cameron who made a lot of money in the world war before, but now, it seems that he feels a little lost in his soul, could it be that this guy has failed to invest?
It should be said that there are also some stories in this, that is, he Cameron helped the emperor of the Pacific Empire. After making a lot of money, of course I was very happy. However, after that, especially after the white supremacy movement, there were tanks in front of the White House, and Cameron felt a little bad.
yes, he's white, too. In addition, he is still a standard WASP, and he is still an Englishman, so of course he can't agree with the emperor's approach.
So, this is not mixed with Li Mengyang. He, Cameron, did his own thing.
Don't say it, this Cameron has been working hard in the financial market for many years, and his level is sufficient, so even if he doesn't do the white gloves of the Pacific Empire, then he can mix very well.
Indeed, he was very comfortable for a long time afterward, and he was even happier with this little life, especially before, when commodities rose sharply.
Investing keeps making money, which is a bit inflated......
As a result, Cameron invested a lot!
Actually, Cameron is still quite smart, he can see that wood, no matter how it rises, it's like that, now the main thing is metal, metal is good, and the future prospects are good.
But...... The timber has fallen, and the metal has gone!
This futures, play a lot, because it is margin trading, itself is a high leverage, now all kinds of commodities have fallen no one knows, this loss of money is also magnified how many times!
So what to do?
It didn't take long for Cameron to appear on the roof of the London Metal Exchange......
"Hey, sir, are you coming too?"
"This ...... You come first, you can please first. ”
When Cameron reached the roof, he realized that he was not alone, so ......
"oK, thank you sir, I'll be waiting for you below."
"This ......"
Before Cameron could finish speaking, the man jumped off, and was really waiting for him below!
This thing......
"WHAT-THE-FARK!"
Cameron saw that guy, so decisive, his legs were weak, and even a fishy breath...... Obviously, he is not young and pees...... Well, in fact, he is not that old and not so incontinent, which is completely scary.
So......
"......" Cameron said that he still didn't have that much courage, and he finally went back trembling......
Okay, it looks like the guy on the ground shouldn't be able to wait for Cameron, but that's okay, there will be a lot of people with him, like when Cameron comes out of the exchange...... Yo~
Another one fell!
"Gotta find a way!" Cameron is determined to get the matter in front of him, and although he has lost a lot of money, he is equivalent to a lot of debt, but he feels that it needs to be solved.
So, what now? How to solve this problem?
"Belfort! You idiot! No one in the world is more stupid than you! ”
"That's right! God can't forgive you for your stupidity! Look at the commodity markets of our British Empire right now! ”
"Belfort! Hurry up and get off the stage! I dare to assert that soon, our British Empire will be led into the abyss by you! ”
At this time, the British Parliament, needless to say, everyone is scolding, anyway, everyone has seen it, the goods have fallen into such a miserable state, so it's not your Balfour's fault?
"......" Balfour was scolded with a blue face, but fortunately, he has been like this a lot lately, and he is used to it. So, he was uncomfortable being scolded, so he went back to rest, and this time......
"Hello Mr. Belfour, I'm William Cameron, and I have a solution that might solve the problem at hand......"
Cameron has come to Belfort......

PS: Thank you! Thanks XXX...... Thank you, King Ben...... Thanks to Bass...... Thanks to me...... Thank you, Brother Feng...... Thanks thanks! Thank you all for always accompanying the black car! Thank you very much!
What, the black car said before that Japan was going to collapse, but I didn't expect it to come back quickly, the reason is, didn't the black car say it before, Ampere should be driving a helicopter to throw money, that's right, and it's also predicted by speculators all over the world, they all think that Japan still has room and can have negative interest rates...... 0.3, any lower than this will have no effect...... However, the Bank of Japan, at yesterday's meeting, did nothing, did nothing, did nothing...... Why didn't you do it, in fact, this reason is the most terrifying, we don't know, no one knows, but everyone knows that it must be more terrifying than continuing to have negative interest rates...... Thank you very much!
