In January 1986, the pier on Hong Kong Island was particularly busy.

Super freighters come and go, transporting many raw materials, equipment and other materials from overseas back to the cargo terminal on Hong Kong Island for unloading.

The goods already loaded on the dock are then transported around the world.

At this time and age, the cargo terminals on Hong Kong Island are busier.

Just because of the enterprises such as Huimin Supermarket and Apple Inc., which were founded many years ago, these companies have produced many high value-added products, such as mobile phones, MP3, VCD and DVD products.

These products are produced in factories in the mainland, then packed and shipped, and then sailed to Hong Kong Island from Xishui Village, Baiyun City and other places, and then transported the goods to the world from Hong Kong Island as a transit station.

And those inland river freighters docked at the freight terminal will also transport the raw materials, equipment and other materials of the terminal along the Pearl River to Baiyun City, Beijiang County and other places.

Or even by train to further north.

Last year's Plaza Agreement made a lot of money for many years, and it is still making money one after another.

The money was turned into corresponding supplies and shipped back to the mainland.

In addition to purchasing supplies, some of this money is used to invest locally, such as setting up laboratories to compete with top labs.

The role of these laboratories is not so simple, if there are top talents, they will be transferred to Hong Kong Island or Baiyun City as much as possible, so that these top talents can better serve for many years.

Bofulin's R&D center has so many black technologies, which are not simple and easy to obtain.

A large part of it is the contribution of top scientists who have been poached from universities and laboratories around the world for many years.

The other part is the peace island of the past.

For many years, I didn't feel very strange about these black technologies, but I felt a little slow.

He just knows the direction, but he doesn't know scientific research, so he can only enrich himself in this way.

After ending the conference call with Wen Hongwen and Wolfgang, he rubbed his forehead for many years.

The benefits of the Plaza Accord seem to be a lot, but in fact they did not exceed his expectations, and even a little low.

He has invested in a large number of projects in Kashgar, Longcanggou, Jiamusi, Turpan and other regions, which are all gold-swallowing beasts.

Every region needs a lot of funds, such as Turpan, which needs a lot of large-scale equipment, and a lot of experts have been mobilized to study.

Just subsidizing those agricultural colleges and universities has spent more than a billion yuan over many years.

If Turpan can't grow the high-quality fruits he wants, the money will definitely be wasted.

Needless to say, the roads in Kashgar seem to be just for the convenience of him to drive himself in the future and see the beautiful scenery of Kashgar.

But it's more to promote the tourism economy here, otherwise, will it hurt to be idle for many years?

Although most of his money is blown by the wind, he can't just throw money like this, right?

There is a way to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.

While he was frowning, far away in the Middle East, the princes of the Bassam were already going crazy.

"Where's the gold?"

The mines, the bassim, have been around this place many times, and those technicians have done many inspections.

However, in fact, the original more than 2,000 tons of gold disappeared.

Angry that the royal family directly fried the pot!

Last summer, they personally verified it, and the technicians were all their own people.

More than once, and even when they sent people to transport the $16 billion crude oil for many years, they also commanded technicians to test again and again.

For more than a month, it is impossible for them not to know if there is any accident in between.

However, not long after the crude oil was carried away by a freighter sent in many years, strange things happened one after another.

Then the miners discovered that there was less and less gold.

This shouldn't be!

Originally, there was a lot of gold ore powder in this area.

How could this be without gold?

At first, they didn't pay much attention to it.

Because they don't believe that anyone has lied to us, or that someone has been able to dig up all the more than 2,000 tons of gold powder in the ground in such a short period of time, under the watchful eye of their people.

Maybe it's because they're too confident, so now, a few months have passed, and they still haven't found the reason for the disappearance of the gold mine.

Except for a small amount of gold ore powder about two or three meters below the surface of the mining site, there is no other place at all.

Dig deeper, or dig in other directions, and the same is not true.

It's incredible!

However, this time, their Allah was not on their side, and the gold mine literally disappeared.

Ahhh

Basemu and they are going crazy, yelling at the sky for impotence.

For more than four months, they had been in the gold mine, but until this moment, their miners had dug many tunnels.

So far, the conclusions they have come to have made their hearts cold.

"There is no gold dust in the whole underground, and some are just ordinary earth"

"But according to our analysis of the underground rock formations, there shouldn't be such soil."

"So, someone must have dug up the original gold ore and replaced it with these ordinary rock layers and mud to fill it."

"O Allah, this is simply impossible. But, that's just the way it is."

The researchers are also somewhat mentally disturbed, because the conclusion is obvious that it cannot be done by humans.

If it is not artificial, then it is the mine they fancied before, and it is very likely to be a conspiracy.

A conspiracy organized here for many years.

However, how is it possible to do this for many years?

After all, there were many people on the scene at the time of the transaction, and when they sent supertankers to transfer the $16 billion crude oil for many years, they also tested it more than once.

It's probably more than 500 times.

Every time it's a different position, a different depth, how can you make a mistake in judgment?

But if it weren't for the conspiracy that had been made up here for many years, then what was going on?

What is the truth?

The royal family, in a palatial palace.

At this time, Fedirer was negotiating with Noyce and Howard about the price of oil.

Since its establishment, OPEC has challenged the status of multinational conglomerates such as Mobil Corporation in various ways.

After all, Aramco's crude oil extraction rights, pricing power, and sales rights should all belong to the royal family.

So Ferdil, who is in charge of this aspect of affairs externally, has dried his saliva, and still can't make Vampires like Noyce and Howard give in.

In fact, since September last year, the Plaza Accord was signed and the dollar depreciated, and it stands to reason that crude oil prices should have grown explosively.

As we all know, the depreciation of the dollar will contribute to the rise in the price of crude oil, which has three points.

First, the depreciation of the US dollar will reduce the purchasing power of crude oil producing or exporting countries.

After the Bretton Woods system, the price of crude oil was denominated in US dollars, and oil-producing countries sold crude oil for US dollars, which were then exchanged for other countries' currencies to buy goods from other countries in the world.

Due to the depreciation of the US dollar, the purchasing power of crude oil producing countries has decreased.

From this point of view, there is a need for price increases in producing countries to compensate for the loss of purchasing power.

Second, the depreciation of the US dollar will increase the purchasing power of some oil-buying countries, such as Europe and Tokyo.

This is because the price of crude oil, which is denominated in euros and yen, has become relatively cheap.

The depreciation of the dollar has no effect on the purchasing power of the bald eagle and other countries tied to the dollar exchange rate.

Therefore, from the perspective of the global market, the depreciation of the US dollar will boost the global demand for crude oil.

Third, the depreciation of the US dollar itself corresponds to the improvement of the global economy, especially the rapid development of emerging markets such as semiconductors in the past decade, the demand for crude oil is in a strong state, and crude oil prices are necessary.

On the other hand, the rise in the price of crude oil and the dollar, oil exporting countries have more dollars, and when buying goods or services from other countries, they need to exchange them for other national currencies such as the euro and the yen, which is also a boost to other countries' currencies and will further contribute to the depreciation of the dollar.

The key to not sustaining this state of affairs is that other factors will prevent the depreciation of the dollar in the first place.

For example, in order to curb inflation, the bald eagle has continuously raised interest rates, thereby widening the interest rate gap with other currencies, attracting currencies to return and strengthening the dollar.

Or a global crisis erupts, and investors are more risk-averse, so they choose the US dollar or US dollar assets for safe-haven.

Of course, now is the Plaza Accord phase, and Wall Street capitalists need to devalue the dollar in order to improve the international competitiveness of Bald Eagle mainland exports.

But!!!

The royal family, on the other hand, has taken advantage of such means as increasing production and price wars to forcefully reduce the price of crude oil from $27 per barrel in 1985 to $10 per barrel now.

Terrifying!

The price war was triggered by OPEC's efforts to regain market share and increase production dramatically, and to compete with non-OPEC oil producers.

Even the depreciation of the dollar has not been able to stop the downward trend of crude oil prices.

So, in this respect, many years are still a loss.

Why?

You know, last year, that is, before September '85, many supertankers were dispatched to carry $16 billion worth of crude oil from the Middle East at a price of $27 per barrel.

Now, in just a few months, the price of crude oil has dropped from $27 to $10.

This means a billion barrels of crude oil have been lost for many years.

At $27 a barrel, only 590 million barrels of crude oil were shipped from the Middle East for many years.

Conversely, if it is ten dollars per barrel, then 1.6 billion barrels of crude oil can be transported from the Middle East in many years.

That's a billion barrels of crude oil in between.

Good guys, it can only be said that these local tyrants in the Middle East are still very good at arithmetic.

It's a pity that they are still one step behind!

Fedirer sent away Howard, Noyce, and other giants, and returned to the royal family to report to their king.

Then he also met with Bassem, and soon learned that the gold mine still had not found gold.

And the conclusions drawn are maddening.

"Damn, it must have been despicable and shameless for many years, it must have been a bad thing that this villain did by him"

Basemu's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said.

Eyes, full of resentment!

He didn't have much contact with many years, but he knew that many years were not easy people.

Originally, this gold mine incident, speaking of which, was indeed the fault of the Middle Eastern royal family.

From the very beginning, the cooperation between the two sides was full of cunning and intrigue, all unknown risks.

As the richest man on Hong Kong Island for many years, a self-made man is now rich to the extent that he is rivaling the country, and he is definitely not a simple person, and it is impossible not to see through what they invited him here to open a mine for.

Do you really think it's just simple mining?

But no one expected that they would be so ruthless for many years and swindle 590 million barrels of crude oil from them.

As for the gold mines, Basemu felt that this might be a naked conspiracy.

And their royal family has plunged headlong into it, but they are still complacent.

This loss!

It's so ruthless!

Baselmu's words made Ferdier and the others feel related, and they felt a chill in their backs.

There is no doubt that he will definitely be a dangerous person for many years, and he will not be able to have more contact with each other.

Perhaps before, the Middle Eastern royal family thought that they could handle each other, but now it seems that it has not been easy for many years.

"Alright, let's stop here!"

Their Muhammad spoke.

Basemu suddenly showed unwillingness, and shouted hoarsely: "Are we just admitting defeat like this?" That's 590 million barrels of crude oil!! ”

No matter how unwilling you are, so what?

Could it be that their royal family can still let them return those 590 million barrels of crude oil for many years?

Don't be silly!

"My child, this is the lesson, these 590 million barrels of crude oil are tuition, you all have to remember"

Muhammad spoke again and said.

Like Bassem, Muhammad wanted to return the crude oil or more than 2,000 tons of gold for many years.

However, this is not possible.

Even, if they negotiate for many years, they may be bitten back by the other party.

Or maybe people have prepared traps for many years and are waiting for them to jump into them.

There are some things that can be one or two, and not repeatedly.

So that's the end of the matter.

For many years on Hong Kong Island, I didn't know what was going on in the Middle East, and if I did, I would definitely be happy.

To be honest, the Middle East wanted to trap him this time, but they didn't expect him to have such a good ability.

Hehe, on the contrary, they have been miserable in the Middle East.

More than 2,000 tons of gold have not yet been fully refined, and it will take some more time.

After it is refined, it can be deposited into Hang Seng Bank and Universal Universe Bank respectively.

With so many tons of gold, there are many things that banks can do.

Gold is something that can only play a huge role in banks.
