Chapter 42 Disturbing the United States

Most people buy gold by the gram, and the common unit of measurement for international gold trading is troy ounces, which is close to the ancient Chinese system of one tael, 31.1 grams per ounce.

Gold is a precious metal in any country, and although it is not the era of the gold standard, its price is still expensive, and an ounce in the international market costs more than $1,000, that is, a kilogram costs more than $30,000.

Tons of gold are traded, which is quite rare.

And Zhong Yuan took out five tons this time, which is worth more than 100 million US dollars.

It can be seen that for monks, robbing houses is the fastest way to make a fortune.

This is still calculated according to the gold price in the international market, in fact, the domestic gold price is higher than that in the international market.

If Zhong Yuan finds someone to sell it in China, it will be worth more than 200 million US dollars.

Of course, it was called gold smuggling, which was an illegal transaction, and as a good law-abiding Chinese citizen, Zhong Yuan would definitely not do such a thing.

Cheng Weiguo took over the gold at the international gold price, and there was no problem of losing money.

Although this kind of thing is a little unacceptable, it can be regarded as a reward for Zhong Yuan.

The things he brought back couldn't be bought by Huaxia for ten times as much gold.

It's not a matter of price, it's the Western high-tech embargo policy against China, and no matter how much money you get, there is no place to buy it.

If someone else used so much gold to trade, the state would have already arrested people in minutes, and there was no possibility of taking over.

The money received from the gold was soon transferred to the account of the Peace Investment Company, which was converted into Huaxia currency according to the international gold price at that time, totaling more than one billion.

It's a win-win situation.

If you pay US dollars, the transaction may not be able to proceed.

Anyway, the various building materials that Zhong Yuan needs to buy to develop the Pinghu Secret Realm are basically purchased in Huaxia, and the part that needs to be purchased abroad, the company still has tens of millions of US dollars, and it can also cope with it, and it doesn't matter if Zhong Yuan uses domestic currency.

Zhong Yuan did not go to the United States immediately, but cared about the problems of the construction team.

Gong Wenxi has found a first-class construction company, and the procurement of building materials is also proceeding at a rapid pace.

Jincheng Group is engaged in real estate development, is very familiar with those things, and can get good quality materials at a relatively reasonable price.

If Zhong Yuan is allowed to come by himself, he will have to be blind.

Zhong Yuan also worked as a porter himself a few times, and used the storage ring to transport the equipment and building materials needed by the construction team to the Pinghu Secret Realm, and the construction team only needed personnel to pass.

After transporting all the materials needed for the early start of construction, Zhong Yuan went to the United States and began his trip to the United States.

Before leaving, he also received a phone call from Cheng Weiguo - the above meaning, as long as it does not exceed a hundred tons of gold, it is acceptable.

One hundred tons of gold, according to their current trading price, that is more than 20 billion, which can be said to be an astronomical amount, not to mention Huaxia, even the world can come up with so much real money and silver.

But Zhong Yuan was still a little disappointed.

His goal is not a hundred tons, at least four or five hundred tons, right?

But after thinking about it, four or five hundred tons, that would have to be hundreds of billions, that is indeed a bit shocking.

"A hundred tons is a hundred tons, and I can keep a few hundred tons for myself. Zhong Yuan thought so.

He has no good feelings for the United States, only bad feelings.

The main reason is, of course, that imperialism is determined to destroy itself and is always thinking of destroying the excellent situation of stability, unity, and harmonious development in China.

The secondary reason is that the CIA's grandsons killed Fang Lin's husband for a few pieces of jade, and forced Fang Lin, a weak woman, to hide in Tibet and wander for several years.

And he himself almost became the ghost of the other party's knife.

This is a big hatred.

So in his heart, he didn't think about just stealing those instruments and equipment technical data or anything, he wanted to do a big job.

On his first day in the country, there was a theft from the Fed's heavily guarded underground vault – hundreds of tons of gold.

At that time, the amount of gold used by the United States to impact the entire gold market was not put into this amount, and so much was stolen at once, which caused a great chaos in the United States.

It's not just a monetary loss, it's also a matter of security.

What does it mean that in such a well-guarded place, there are hundreds of tons of gold lost all of a sudden?

It means that the precautions are useless at all.

Hundreds of tons of gold, even a large truck, have to come to a convoy to transport it, right? It just disappeared inexplicably, and the layers of security measures did not play any role at all.

The strangeness of this incident made people in the security department of the United States involuntarily associate this incident with the theft of the Okinawa military base a few months ago.

There were also many thefts in Europe a few days ago.

The same thing that was stolen at once, and there was no trace of it at all, so they couldn't help but connect it.

The security services of many countries in Europe believe that Huaxia or Mao Xiong committed the crime, after all, those stolen things are needed by these two countries.

For other embargoed countries, getting those things doesn't work either, so they can be ruled out.

And because of the theft of the vault, it is more inclined to think that it is the hand of the hairy bear.

After all, Mao Xiong is still relatively poor, and Huaxia is a recognized local tyrant country, so there is no need to steal gold.

Of course, the United States is not exempt from vulgarity, and regards these two biggest imaginary enemies as the biggest objects of suspicion.

Of course, within the United States, there is also a strange opinion that it was not done by any country, but by aliens.

The intelligence department of the United States is the most powerful intelligence department in the world, and in the information they have, neither Mao Xiong nor Huaxia has that ability.

They don't believe that any country on this planet can do it.

Therefore, this strange point of view has emerged within the United States.

After a series of analyses, they concluded that the technology displayed in the thefts was far beyond this world, so they came to the conclusion that it was done by aliens.

Of course, there are not many people who support this view, although the existing information cannot prove that such a powerful force exists on Earth, but aliens are a little too sci-fi.

The main thing is - it makes sense to say that aliens steal gold, maybe people need this precious metal.

But what are the aliens doing stealing planes? Why are they stealing those precision instruments and technical data? People can travel interstellarly, and that kind of technology is rare?

Obviously unreasonable!
