Chapter 425: I Can Do It
In a villa in Manhattan, USA, several elderly people sat around, some with long white beards, and some with age spots on their faces. Someone is in a wheelchair.
The outside of the villa is closely guarded by capable bodyguards wearing sunglasses and black trench coats.
Next to the villa are some of the most experienced doctors in the United States, with state-of-the-art equipment, ready to respond to emergencies.
There are also military and police patrolling in the distance, and the specifications of protection are many times stricter than when the president of the United States travels.
These people in the villa, they control more than a tenth of the world's wealth.
The best of them have more wealth than the gross domestic product of Russia. It can be compared to the GDP of an economically rich province in China.
They are at the helm of the top 10 American consortiums.
The top 10 consortia are the Rockefeller Consortium, the Morgan Consortium, the First Citibank Consortium, the DuPont Consortium, the Boston Consortium, the Mellon Consortium, the Cleveland Consortium, the Chicago Consortium, the California Consortium, and the Texas Consortium.
The combined force of these consortia can drive almost a quarter of the world's total capital.
The people in charge here are Henry Morgan and Bill Rockefeller.
Henry Morgan sat in a wheelchair like a smiling tiger. Bill Rockefeller wore his white beard and looked grumpy.
As the two largest consortia in the United States, their will represents the will of the United States.
The U.S. government is all about capital, and the Federal Reserve is their private bank. They lent the U.S. national debt, and they couldn't afford to pay it back when they sold it.
Money is just a piece of green paper for them, because as long as they want to print as much as they want.
What they care about is the control of capital and the control of the industry.
Henry Morgan knocked on the table and said to everyone with a serious face: "This time I convened everyone again to discuss important matters.
Some old friends are still here, but some old friends are no longer there and have been replaced by new friends.
The last time we gathered everyone to work together was in the 70s.
At that time, the Bretton Woods system collapsed, and the dollar's plan to control the whole world was almost bankrupt. We have established the big decision of the petrodollar.
We got the results right at the last meeting and we all learned a lot.
The petrodollar system that we have built has defeated the very bad financial system of the former Soviet Union.
It directly dragged down the former Soviet Union and allowed us to dominate the world with the United States. ”
As everyone listened, they all reminisced about the consequences caused by their predecessors, and thought of the power of capital that looked down on the world at that time.
Bill Rockefeller, seeing them still reminisces about the glory of the past.
He slammed his hand on the table, waking everyone up.
Bill stared at his reddened eyes, and the wrinkles on his face were huddled together like dead trees.
He said in a fierce voice: "Don't dwell on the glory of the past, now we have a major challenge.
Huaxia opened the oil Huayuan, and we all just acted separately, instead of concentrating all our forces together to snipe it.
Because it will only lead to the loss of American interests, and our interests will not be harmed much.
We can easily transfer the damage to the middle class and let it bear it. ”
The representative of the Mellon consortium snorted coldly when he heard this: "How can you twist into a rope and deal with Huaxia together." Some people are quietly becoming traitors, with nothing but profit in their eyes. ”
The representative of the First Citibank consortium glared at him fiercely.
Bill Rockefeller slapped his hand heavily on the table, blew his white beard and said, "The contradictions between your various consortia can be resolved in private." Don't go to this meeting with emotions. ”
After he became angry, many of the consortium representatives fell silent.
Bill continued: "China's space industry is developing so fast that it can easily fly to the moon with a manned flight.
Everyone should have received this news, it has been confirmed. ”
When Bill finished speaking, he slapped his hand heavily on the table. The muscles on his face tensed, and he yelled hysterically: "What does this mean? It represents that space colonization has entered the stage of take-off, and a new era of colonization is coming.
This marks the beginning of a new round of reshuffle of global capital.
It's been less than 50 years. How many people here have changed.
You know it in your hearts. If we can't keep up with the times, we will also be replaced by others. Their own capital is eaten by others. ”
When Bill finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Of course, they know what will happen to the backward talent group.
There were several consortia in the scene that climbed up by stepping on the corpses of other consortia.
Henry Morgan looked at them and said with a smile: "Don't look at them taking the first step, but we also have a huge amount of power in our hands."
As long as we all work together, we will be able to turn this difficulty into a driving force for us to move forward.
We must not sit idly by, and this is not just our consortium that will be eliminated if it is backward.
It is a major issue concerning the future survival of our capital. ”
Henry sighed and said, "If Germany or Japan developed this technology. We also need to support them, and they can be easily controlled through financial means.
But this is because China took the lead in entering the era of space colonization. We will never allow it to develop into the sole superpower.
No matter how much our Western camp labels democracy and freedom, its essence is that capital controls everything.
And the path taken by Huaxia is that power controls everything, and they even let power override capital. This is something we must not allow. ”
"This system must not be allowed to spread around the world," DuPont began.
The annual profit of our pharmaceutical group accounts for a quarter of the GDP of the United States.
Huaxia real estate accounts for only 15% of GDP, and this area is strictly controlled.
This kind of system proliferation affects the benefits we obtain too much.
The development of aerospace can bring huge benefits, think about the Age of Discovery, how did our ancestors make a fortune?
Now that we have entered the Age of Space Discovery, the beginning of space colonization can bring us such huge benefits. ”
Bill Rockefeller saw their glowing eyes, and immediately took out the prepared plan and said, "Time is running out now, and we can only catch up faster if we are united."
The whole plan is to act from two aspects, one is to slow down the pace of China's development, which is only a means to treat the symptoms.
The most important thing is to concentrate all scientific research forces and develop spacecraft that belong to us. Compete with China for space resources. ”
After Bill finished speaking, he showed the plan to many of the consortium representatives.
In the end, everyone unanimously agreed to join forces to jointly deal with the challenge of Huaxia.
The reason why everyone agreed so easily was because they could pass the plan. Use the power in their hands to rapidly expand their capital.
They are confident that the world's largest consortium unites and controls the world's largest power behind it.
The technology has been realized by Huaxia, which means that this technology is not difficult to break through. They will definitely succeed.
They all have a belief, Huaxia Xing, I must do it too.
