Chapter 459: Spirituality
After the end of the energy diffusion meeting, high-level consultations were held at the top of the world on today's meeting.
United States, the Hexagon.
"Dozens of countries have already expressed great interest in Atlantis' energy network, and as things stand, we may not be able to stop them from controlling the planet's energy!"
"I really didn't expect that the other party would be willing to give up such a big piece of cake and give up all the benefits, in this case, the response plan we made in advance is basically useless."
"Hmmm! This has indeed disrupted our deployment, but in this way, it has brought us a lot of benefits, which can basically make up for our loss in energy output. ”
"But now we are gradually losing the strategic advantage we have accumulated over the decades, which is very detrimental to our competition with other countries!"
"The other party first acquired a large number of steel-related industries, and now it has started in the energy sector, these two things, one is the most important basic industrial raw materials, and the other is the power of industrial production, I am worried...... The other party is trying to eat away at our foundation step by step! ”
"I agree, the other side is boiling frogs in warm water, and we have to be vigilant.
I suggest that we must not agree to include the United States in the other side's energy network, as long as we take the lead in refusing, we should be able to win over a group of allies to refuse to join this plan!
Next, as long as we and OPEC increase crude oil production and invest more in a number of new energy technologies, we can also reduce energy prices.
Even if we still can't compete with each other in terms of price, at least in terms of energy, we can still maintain our independence! ”
"No, I'm against it! This is not a long-term solution, the other party's technological advantage is too huge, and hard work is definitely worth the loss!
Our domestic labor costs are already high, if even energy is more expensive than other countries, how can products compete with other countries?
Maybe it can't be seen in the short term, but after a long time, even the capital of the country will flow out wildly, and then our economy will be over! ”
“……”
In the midst of a burst of discussion, the Minister of Finance suddenly spoke.
"We shouldn't focus on energy, I think, although the other party is holding an energy promotion meeting this time, it is the drunkard's intention not to drink!"
"How?" Everyone looked at him suspiciously.
"You found that no, the other party's condition, 50,000 kWh of energy is sold for 1 point of unlimited coins, and this price will remain unchanged for 100 years......"
"Is there anything wrong with this?" Some asked suspiciously, while others who reacted quickly were thoughtful.
"If you still don't understand that, then I'll change the concept and say $35 an ounce!" The Minister of Finance said quietly.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked!
$35 an ounce?
This sentence is known to anyone who has studied finance, referring to the official exchange rate of the US dollar and gold pegged to gold before 1971, when the United States implemented the "Bretton Woods monetary system"!
Commonly known as the gold standard!
$35 an ounce? 50,000 kWh 1 point of unlimited coins?
Few of those present were fools, and they all reflected.
No way! This is...... Energy-based?!
"You...... You're saying that Atlantis wants to peg Infinita to energy?! Someone exclaimed.
"Alas! 100 years...... It seems that the other party wants to rule the earth for at least 100 years with infinite coins......" The finance minister sighed with a wry smile.
The unbreakable status of the US dollar as an international settlement currency starts from the gold standard, and no one knows the power of this better than the people of the United States!
It was only after the dollar was decoupled from gold and the large-scale issuance of currencies that the value of the dollar fell year by year, and its status was even more affected by currencies such as the euro and soft sister coins.
Of course, when the U.S. dollar implemented the monetary gold standard, it was not a success to shout to the outside world that "the U.S. dollar is pegged to gold."
There are two basic conditions that need to be met for this.
One, your currency has enough international recognition!
Second, have a large amount of gold enough to be redeemed as a guarantee!
After the end of World War II, the United States owned almost three-quarters of the world's gold, which is why the United States used its own currency to implement the gold standard!
And now, the recognition of Infinity Coin is needless to say, and the Prometheus Project provides Atlantis with almost endless energy......
The right time and place! As long as Atlantis' energy promotion plan is successful this time, then ...... And people!
The time and place are favorable, and the energy-based system of unlimited coins is no longer hindered!
Everyone looked at each other, but the finance minister's expression was a little embarrassed and helpless.
"We should have thought of it a long time ago! Infinity Coin has an unstable foundation, and its value is entirely hyped up by Captain Ghost's high-tech and wishing machine!
Recently, in order to promote unlimited coins and increase liquidity, Atlantis has chosen to issue a large number of unlimited coins, which has caused the value of unlimited coins to drop slightly.
At that time, I also considered using this to attack the other side's monetary system, and our dollar system could still turn around, but unfortunately...... The girl looked young, but in such a short period of time, she had already analyzed all the pros and cons.
After all, there is no national credit endorsement for unlimited coins, and it is an inevitable trend to be linked to physical objects!
Now that gold resources are about to overflow, the value can no longer be used as collateral, but I did not expect that the other party would be so bold as to directly link money to energy.
In the future development of the world, the development of outer space will inevitably bring great abundance of materials, but the development of science and technology will inevitably bring a huge demand for energy, and energy ...... It's the hard currency of this century!
The imagination of young people is eclectic, imaginative, and enterprising!
Maybe...... That's why Captain Ghost made such a little girl his CEO......"
……
Chu's Villa, 2nd Floor Balcony, 8pm.
"Can you tell me how you get in every time?" Chu Xiaoxiao looked at "Nie Yun" standing in front of him suspiciously.
She looked out, the alarm didn't respond, the fence or something is good, huh? Could it be that a whole squad of special forces outside is blind?
"Walked in, of course!" Nie Yun looked right.
Chu Xiaoxiao rolled her delicate eyes, and then pointed to the courtyard below, "Then can you tell me, why every time you come, the statue you gave in the courtyard is gone?" ”
"Ahem!" Nie Yun coughed.
Can I say I'm a sculpture? It's going to scare people to death on a big night.
"Maybe it's because the carving is not perfect enough, so I'm ashamed of myself, and I see that the deity has no place to be ashamed, right? After all...... It is a high monk who has opened the light, and it is normal to have spirituality......" Nie Yun touched his chin and said with a smile.
Chu Xiaoxiao: "......"
Robotic bug: "......" (lll¬ω¬)
I don't know if that statue has spirituality, but when you say this, you're so thick-skinned that it's very spiritual......
