"Strange!"

United States.

Treasury.

The minister looked at the statistics of the silver market price survey submitted by the secretary in his hand, and his tone was puzzled.

"What's weird?"

The secretary asked.

The secretary thought that it was his information that made the problem.

"It shouldn't be!"

"It shouldn't be!"

Ignoring the secretary's inquiry, the minister muttered to himself.

He announced that he was preparing to buy silver at a price of 65 cents per ounce, accumulating a total of $500 million.

The aim was to push up the price of silver, causing a massive outflow of silver from the base areas of the gang in North China, forcing them to increase their absorption of the US dollar and thus use the US dollar as a reserve currency.

In order to achieve the purpose of indirect control of the other party's currency.

Unless there is enough gold on the other side, the matter is a matter of course.

But after all this time, he has bought more than $60 million in silver from the market, and a new round of $30 million is ready.

A total of $100 million in purchases.

But!

Stimulated by such large orders, the price of silver remained solid, always around 59 cents per ounce.

That's very wrong.

A very simple truth.

Children know the truth.

Buying a large number of goods on the market will inevitably lead to an increase in the price of such goods.

He threw $100 million at it, buying a total of 4,400 tons of silver.

This tonnage is equivalent to the world's silver production last year, the whole year.

Prosperous antique real estate, golden grain in troubled times.

It was the war years, the world war broke out, the price of silver should have risen, coupled with his acquisition, it stands to reason that silver in the market should have been rising.

reaches, and even exceeds sixty-five dollars per ounce.

Because he also let out rumors about the market.

In the next year, it will be used to acquire $500 million in silver, which will eventually reach 129 cents per ounce.

Although the market can't be fully trusted, and those who play the silver business are all old foxes, they should at least give some reactions, such as skyrocketing prices.

But now,

A month has passed, and the price of silver in the market has risen by five cents.

"Really?"

The minister wondered:

"Silver on the market, beyond expectations?"

"And, much, much more than expected?"

Only this one possibility can explain why, 100 million dollars are smashed, and the price of silver on the market is still like a stagnant water, only a few slight swings.

"I see."

After understanding his problem, the finance minister had a calm expression.

Data misjudgments.

Very normal.

Even if this analysis was made by the top economists and data analysts in the United States, before Mr. President reformed the American intelligence system, the United States had a big problem with foreign intelligence gathering.

Data misjudgments are common.

But behind him is the United States, the most economically powerful country in the world,

This year, the gross national product of the United States is expected to reach $245 billion, and this is the United States, which has not yet fully recovered.

As wars around the world continued, a steady stream of international money poured into the United States, a steady stream of talent poured into the United States, and huge orders and markets poured into the United States.

It is expected that next year, the U.S. economy will fully recover, reaching an annual GDP of $310 billion.

To know.

The rest of the world,

Japan, Germany, France, the Soviet Union, Italy, Britain, and so on, combined, are only $330 billion.

Moreover, of the 310 billion yuan in gross domestic product of the United States, industrial output accounts for more than one-third, reaching 120 billion dollars.

As for the Japanese, the whole country, including the Manchurian and Mongolian regions, the total industrial production value is only a mere $6 billion, even if Japan, Germany, France, the Soviet Union, Italy, and Britain are included, it is only 130 billion US dollars.

After all, the United States is expected to produce 80 million tons of steel and 200 million tons of oil this year.

All the other countries combined, can't catch up.

In this world, who is the opponent of the United States?

So··

"Next month, continue to buy $100 million in silver at sixty-five cents."

He wanted to see how much silver there was in the world.

"Nope."

After thinking about it, the Minister of Finance stopped the secretary and continued:

"Raise it to 1.5 billion dollars."

Although the United States is strong.

But foreign countries should not be underestimated.

For example, the group of people in North China on the other side of the mainland were able to come up with the super drug penicillin, and even several new drugs appeared on the market.

We must find a way to indirectly control their currency, otherwise the other party will be able to unscrupulously suck the blood of the United States through the absolute monopoly of technology.

"Yes!"

Shortly after the secretary left.

A doctor walked in,

He had a bottle of medicine in his hand.

"Minister, it's time for the injection."

The doctor said.

"How many more?"

The minister's tone was a little worried.

Due to the excessively high standard of living, the Minister of Finance has diabetes for more than ten years.

Insulin injections are always needed to control blood sugar.

But in the early forties, biopharmaceutical technology was very weak, and insulin could only be extracted from living organisms, such as cow offal.

The nature is impure and there are many impurities.

A liquid that looks cloudy after being filled with purified water for injection.

Moreover, there are many side effects, which are easy to cause blood sugar instability, frequent allergic rejection reactions, etc., itching, blistering, etc., are common, after all, they are extracted from the body.

There are also expensive ones.

But it is still a life-saving drug for many people.

However, all these problems are accompanied by the high-purity crystalline insulin from Taihang Medicine, which is the level of pharmaceutical technology in the late nineties and early twenty-first century.

There are no side effects at all.

It works very well.

There is no need to worry about any rejection, and it will definitely not cause itching or allergic blistering.

Since taking this imported insulin, the minister suddenly feels ten years younger, and he will never suddenly feel dizzy again, and he will never suddenly feel weak again.

It's just that the price is a bit expensive.

One hundred dollars per bottle.

And the minister is a severe diabetic and needs to be injected three times a day, so three bottles a day are used.

"The medicine is plentiful."

The doctor replied.

"That's good."

The minister looked at the insulin in the doctor's hand, and although the drug made him feel better physically and mentally, his brow was furrowed.

The penicillin ban has come down.

But to no avail.

In just over a month, imported penicillin has occupied almost all the markets of top hospitals in the United States, and the number of daily consumption is as high as more than 2,000.

And it's still improving rapidly.

No way!

Because of the imported high-purity penicillin, the infection rate of surgery has been reduced by 70%, and the recovery rate after infection has been increased by 80%.

And the United States has many wealthy people, and there are also many diabetics.

Like penicillin, the United States cannot produce this insulin.

I believe that those rich people will not mind, for their own lives, to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy some imported medicines, but in the United States, most of the patients suffering from diabetes are rich people.

This drug,

It's a precise harvest of the rich's wealth.

His eyes were red.

···

Meanwhile.

Southern Hebei region.

Ze County.

"Buy 100,000 bottles of penicillin."

A team of British businessmen walked through the devil-controlled area and came to Ze County.

Huge interests are attracted, the devil's troops are seriously insufficient, and the troops exert various pressures, forcing the devils to shrink their forces and defend key lines of communication, important prosperous cities, and surrounding radiation areas.

After all, the devils also have to use these territories and communication lines to grab a huge amount of circulating New Hebei currency, which can be exchanged for silver dollars and then exchanged for US dollars.

Therefore, today's small-scale caravans, which do not transport large materials, can almost smoothly go from the concession area to the southern Hebei region.

It's not that the devil doesn't want to block.

It's about having a weak heart.

The troops are insufficient, and the territory is too large.

As a result, a team of British caravans came to Zexian County, and they asked for 100,000 bottles of penicillin.

"Obiei?"

In the vicinity of Ze County, the person in charge of Ze County once studied abroad.

And it's the UK.

So··

Naturally, he doesn't have such a good impression of Obiying.

Those exquisite objects in the British Museum, those things that have been done in the past hundred years, who can have a good impression after seeing them?

"Two thousand five hundred and one bottles."

"No price reduction!"

"People are empires where the sun never sets!"

"The most powerful country in the world!"

"Price reduction, isn't this looking down on others?"

He snorted and directly ordered the sale at the original price.

Although in reality, the price of penicillin is now 800 yuan per bottle, which is equivalent to 100 dollars a bottle, the retail price is still 2,500 yuan, which is equivalent to 300 dollars a bottle.

However, the empire on which the sun never sets, the strongest empire in the world, naturally needs special treatment, otherwise it will be neglected.

"Yes!"

The subordinates held back their laughter and went to arrange.

"It needs to be paid in New Hebei South Dollar, 2,500 yuan per bottle!"

I just came with the British caravan, and I didn't know the market, so I paid in full directly.

After all, although the British Empire has declined, and the sun does not set, it is already dusk, but the pockets are really very bulging, and they are full as soon as they are shot.

Thirty million dollars.

"Happy working together!"

The person in charge of the Zexian base area even came to entertain him in person.

"Happy working together!"

I bought it in one go, and there were 100,000 bottles of penicillin in demand on the market, and I didn't suspect anything else with the British caravan, with a smile on my face.

"May our friendship last forever."

The staff of the Ministry of Commerce who led the team with Ying even came to give a hug.

"May our friendship last forever."

The person in charge of Ze County also smiled and embraced.

100,000 bottles of penicillin, the actual goods are not much, convenient for transportation, that night, with the British caravan with the goods to divert the trail to prepare to return home.

The 100,000 penicillin is urgently needed in the country.

How!

Buying from the U.S. costs more than $1,000 a bottle.

It's too expensive!

"You are selling someone, he gives you money, not to mention, but also to thank you!"

That night, a political commissar from the Zexian base area joked.

"Haha..."

The person in charge of the Zexian base area suddenly burst into laughter.

The feeling of selling the British Empire and counting the money for others is really comfortable.

"But..."

"Why don't you let them out with the news that they have purchased 100,000 bottles of penicillin, and leave the journey?"

Then the commissar said another word.

The person in charge of the Zexian base area was silent for a while, and finally silently spit out a sentence:

"It's got to be you..." (End of chapter)
