Ji Aojian brought back a copper ball, and it always kept spinning in his hand, like a spinning top spinning at high speed.

Guta couldn't help but wonder, "Sir, what exactly are you turning?"

"What I have in my hand is a prehistoric treasure. ”

"Prehistoric treasures?"

"Yes, it's a product of civilization in the Americas 10,000 years ago. Ji Aojian stopped the bronze ball and put it in front of the ancient tower, "Look at it, what a wonderful pattern, what an esoteric character, the vast wisdom of the ancients ten thousand years ago is clearly and profoundly displayed." ”

The young man took a closer look and felt very familiar, "Hey, isn't this pattern engraved in the upper hemisphere a map of Central America?"

"Yes, it can be seen that the ancient humans in the Americas already possessed advanced surveying technology and had a complete understanding of the continent in which they lived, so they were able to produce such accurate and exquisite feng shui maps over thousands of years. ”

Guta was confused, "Sir, what is a feng shui map?"

"The so-called feng shui map is specially used to survey the dragon veins and gather luck. If you establish a state in the land of dragon veins, you are destined to prosper and become the foundation of a world power. ”

"Oh, and where are the dragon veins on this map?"

Ji Aojian pointed to the pattern on the copper ball, "Look, take a closer look, where is the central axis on the map?"

"It seems to be the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. ”

"Bounded by the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the Yucatan Peninsula to the east was the thriving Mayan civilization, and the Valley of Mexico to the west was the quintessence of the Aztec civilization. Ji Aojian said solemnly, "There are two ancient civilizations in the Americas. All gathered in this area, on either side of the isthmus. Do you know what that means?"

"What does that mean?"

"This means that the Isthmus of Tehuantepec was born to be the hub of civilization in the Americas. Ji Aojian said solemnly, "The ancestors who engraved this map." It has long been clearly pointed out that this isthmus is the dragon vein in the way of the central axis!"

"How is this the dragon vein?"

"Didn't you notice that there are pyramids near the Isthmus of Suez and ancient temples of the Americas near the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. This proves that the super canal that connects the waters of the ocean must also be the super dragon vein that can give birth to ancient civilizations. ”

"Ah, I see!" Guta's face suddenly realized, "Then if we don't dig the canal, we will waste the power of the dragon vein." ”

"Correct. ”

Guta asked, "Sir." And where did you get this prehistoric dragon vein ball?"

"Hundreds of years ago, the Spaniards stole a lot of historical artifacts from the Americas. Ji Aojian said, "But this antique market has not been developed, they almost don't want it because of the cost of collection, I recently made a deal with them, and bought back the cultural relics in their hands at a low price." ”

"Why did they rob us of our stuff and we have to pay for it back?"

"Let's be realistic, kid, if it weren't for the fact that our emperor was a European nobleman. There will be no chance of buying it back. Ji Aojian continued to spin the copper ball, "I found this precious copper ball in the pile of cultural relics, not only to see the mystery of the dragon vein hidden in it, but also to prove that the people of the Americas mastered the technology of metal smelting in BC. ”

"What does this mean?"

"It can make the American civilization among the ranks of the world's earliest ancient civilizations. "Ji Ao Kendo. "I'm planning to set up a gallery with these purchased artifacts to introduce the glorious history of ancient America to the people of the world. ”

"Great, where is the pavilion?"

"Can be placed in our Mexican embassy. I'll leave that to you. ”

Guta's eyes widened, "This kind of thing. I don't have any experience. ”

"It's okay, there's something you don't understand. I went to the Chinese Embassy to learn about the experience of building exhibition halls. Ji Aojian said earnestly, "Guta, I also plan to donate to Oxford University to open a Institute of American Culture in the Department of History. Once you've run this pavilion, you'll have a very in-depth understanding of the history of the Americas, and when you enter Oxford University next year, you'll just have to study this major directly. ”

"Huh?" Guta was stunned, "Hearing you say that, I feel that this major is not difficult." ”

"It's really not difficult, you just need to write a report on the process of opening the pavilion, which is a heavyweight thesis on American culture, and you can graduate right away. ”

"Is that okay?" said Guta excitedly, "then I'll go to work on the preparations for the pavilion at once." ”

"Come back. ”

"What else, sir?"

"You make a mold of this copper ball, and then you go to the steel mill and make a thousand imitations. ”

"What are you doing with so many imitations?"

"This bronze ball is our treasure in the future. "So we make some imitations, and when the guests come to visit, we give one to them as a souvenir." ”

"I see, it turned out to be a souvenir. ”

Ji Aojian nodded and continued, "When all the learned and high-ranking gentlemen in London come to this pavilion and have a copy of this dragon vein ball, maybe it will set off a boom in the research and collection of American cultural relics." ”

"Definitely. ”

"At that time, the dragon vein ball was popular in the city, and this genuine product in my hand was a priceless treasure. ”

Guta cautiously asked, "What do you mean by priceless treasure?"

"No amount of money can buy it. ”

Ji Aojian casually wrote a note, "Okay, you can go to Sarah now to get the funds." ”

After a while, Sarah ran to his office, "Boss, listen to Guta, you got a priceless treasure?"

"The so-called priceless treasure," Ji Ao Jianfeng said lightly, "In my eyes, it is no different from broken copper and iron." ”

"Your words are too profound, can you show me?"

"Absolutely. ”

Sarah touched the copper ball for a while and said intoxicatedly, "I didn't expect that I would be able to touch a priceless treasure with my own hands, this life is really worth it." ”

"Calm, calm. It's just a mundane thing, you don't have to get so excited. ”

"Boss. I'm just an ordinary person, and my realm is not as high as yours. It's normal to get excited. Sarah coughed, "By the way, here's something to tell you, the submarine cable from Mexico has reached the UK. ”

"Is it finally through?" Ji Aojian slapped the table, looked up to the sky on the seat and laughed, "It's not in vain that I burned so much money, and I finally set it up before the British." ”

"Boss, calm, calm. Sarah said. "It's just a line, we just have one more telegraph business, you don't have to be so excited, right?"

"Is this just a line?" Ji Aojian smiled, "Sarah, it seems that you don't understand the significance of the telegram at all. ”

"Huh?" asked Sarah, "boss, what's the point?"

"Let me ask you, when you used to run the New York Stock Exchange, why did you practice a pair of scud kung fu?"

"Because information is life. We want to quote the latest stock price as soon as possible and complete the most valuable transaction. ”

"Well said. Ji Aojian then asked, "So in the global market, which one's securities information is the most important?"

"Most influential. The London Stock Exchange, of course. ”

"So, what would it mean for New York if Mexico knew the opening price in London first?"

"Ahh Suddenly understood, and his face became extremely pale. "Are you saying that New York is going to be abolished?"

"With the advent of the telegraph age. The world can know the price information of the largest financial centers for the first time, so in a country, only one capital market is enough. Ji Ao Kendao, "Originally, in the United States, New York, as the largest capital market, will achieve a complete monopoly position, and the secondary capital markets such as Boston and Philadelphia will disappear." ”

"But now the Americans do not have a telegraph. ”

"Yes, because they don't have a telegraph, the most important financial markets in North and Central America are destined to fall in Mexico. ”

Sarah said, "Without the telegraph would have such a huge disadvantage, wouldn't the United States hasten to set up its own transoceanic telegraph?"

"Originally, they would have done everything possible to lay cables, but unfortunately now is the moment when the civil war is on the verge of breaking out, so they can't spare their hands. "And because of the dangerous situation of war, capital is still flowing out, and their financial market is shrinking. ”

"If the Civil War lasts too long, won't the American market be finished?"

"yes, I want the war to last at least ten years. ”

“...... This is really going to be replaced by Mexico. ”

Ji Aojian smiled, "Let's not talk about this for now, Sarah, let's go to the futures market tomorrow." ”

"Ah, why are you suddenly planning to enter futures again?"

"It's because of the telegram. ”

"Does this matter again?"

"Before the advent of the telegraph, the purchase price of commodities was based on the place of origin. Ji Aojian explained, "For example, Chinese silk fabrics, because the European market is too far away, the price information in London cannot be transmitted in time, and European merchants can only buy at local prices." ”

"And what about the telegraph?"

"London is able to grasp the price of raw silk in the world at the same time, and negotiate with all the sellers in real time. Ji Aojian sighed, "As the largest buyer, London certainly has the greatest pricing power, and at this time, the selling price of raw silk in any region of the earth must be subject to the London price." ”

"Ahh

"By extension, all commodities will be affected and controlled by London prices. ”

Sarah thought for a moment, "It doesn't seem that the world's telegraph lines are yet on the Internet, right?"

"Now that there are telegraphs in Europe and the Americas, Europe and Asia, and the Americas and Asia will not be far away. Ji Ao Kendo, "The formation of the global telegraph network is only a matter of time, and it will come sooner or later." ”

"But there is no global information yet, how do you go about commodity futures?"

"As long as there is price intelligence from important origins, it is enough. ”

Ji Aojian said, "Is there a famine in Britain and even Europe now?"

"yes. ”

"The main source of food for Europe is South America, right?"

"Well, especially Argentina. ”

"That's it. Ji Aojian clapped his hands, "Hurry up and send a telegram to Mexico, asking that there send the price of grain and meat in South America as quickly as possible every day." With this information advantage, we can do a lot of work in the agricultural market. (To be continued......)
