Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 1014: There is no problem that cannot be solved by money. If there is, it is because the money is not enough.
After Xue Jianshe and others said goodbye to Chu Xiangqian, they selected four of them to take turns carrying the wounded on the makeshift stretcher and quickly left.

Every 5 or 10 minutes, one person is replaced.

While conserving your energy, you can also quickly enter combat mode if something unexpected happens.
-
Chu Xiangqian watched seven people and a wounded man leave, and deliberately let six foxes follow them.

It was not until the eight people arrived at the border that they turned their attention to the three tigers.

No longer having to carry the wounded and worry about exposing more secrets, Chu Xiangqian took advantage of the fact that it was already dark.

Release Red Hare, ride the horse, and quickly return to the outside of the jungle.

After taking back Red Hare, it was not easy for Chu Xiangqian to sneak in at night when he was alone.

They kept jumping silently on the tree trunks, and it took only twenty minutes for them to reunite with the two tigers, which were once again covered in wounds.

This time the two tigers were more seriously injured than before, with each of them having at least twenty or thirty gunshot wounds on their bodies.

Fortunately, my physical fitness increased by 8 points. Although I was hit by bullets continuously, each wound was not as serious as I imagined.

Many bullets simply penetrated the fur and got stuck in the muscles.

Chu Xiangqian rubbed the heads of the two tigers.

And these two tigers were as obedient as cats in front of him.

Then he took them both into the Novice Village.

Each tiger was given three bottles of red medicine to drink, and within a dozen seconds, all its injuries were healed.

Even its fur grew back after eating two sheep.

As for the other tiger, Chu Xiangqian was not in a hurry at all.

Through a few sparrows, I saw that the tiger was only hit by three bullets, and it did not affect its running and jumping at all, so there was naturally no need to recall it so quickly.

Let it play hide-and-seek with tens of thousands of people in another mountain range.

Afterwards, Chu Xiangqian's attention was focused on the Polar Bear Special Forces and the Vietnamese people who were resting in three makeshift camps.

After just a few minutes of thinking, Chu Xiangqian had a new idea.

The green mamba, which was perched on a big tree, suddenly arched its body, flew into the air, and was caught in the claws of a peregrine falcon.

After flying for a few miles, it landed on a tree trunk at a camp under the cover of night.

Because today, two tigers attacked and killed at least two or three hundred people.

The Vietnamese and polar bears who entered the jungle no longer dared to disperse in small groups in the jungle.

As for whether gathering together would cause loopholes in the defense line, for the sake of his own life, he could not care less.

This gave Chu Xiangqian the opportunity to maximize the damage done to the enemy.

Now that they are gathered together, they will definitely make a fire and do some rituals. After all, the enemy is not human.

In addition, they had more people on their side, so they were not afraid of a sneak attack or force attack from the tiger still in the jungle.

They even hoped that the tiger would attack several camps consisting of hundreds of people.

The individual rations of this era are relatively simple.

Even though the Vietnamese captured a lot of the individual rations of the Meiguo people, many years had passed and many of them had already been used up.

Moreover, after a tiring and frightened day, most people would of course want to have a hot meal without worrying about being exposed.

All the Green Mamba has to do is crawl over the cooking fire and spit its venom into the cauldron.

However, not every stove had branches above it, so Chu Xiangqian directed the Green Mamba to throw "read" into 7% of the big pots.

The green mamba catapulted into flight from the tree again, and when it reached the periphery, it was caught by the peregrine falcon again.

Fly to another camp.

The goal is not to poison them all, but just to poison them in the simplest and fastest way.

After three consecutive camps were poisoned, Chu Xiangqian saw through the sparrow's vision that in the first camp, there were already signs of poisoning among the Yuenan monkeys.

When he released the two tigers, he also released 12 upgraded wild wolves.

14 ferocious beasts came from all directions and attacked the camp which was in chaos because a large number of people were poisoned.

In less than five minutes, there was no one left alive in the entire camp.

Even if someone escaped, they could not escape Chu Xiangqian's shooting.

Leave 6 foxes to determine if anyone is pretending to be dead.

The 14 tigers and wild wolves were taken back to the Novice Village by Chu Xiangqian, and drank blood potions to recover from their injuries.

Rushed to another camp.

In just three hours, more than a thousand people from three camps, along with more than thirty polar bear special forces, all went to see God.

Chu Xiangqian even commanded the tigers and wolves to collect the corpses together.

He originally planned to pour gasoline on it and burn it, but after thinking it over, Chu Xiangqian decided to release a dozen giant apes that were not yet adults and had been staying on the river island in the Novice Village for the past two years.

All the corpses were piled together and buried in the ground, and three Jingguans were built.

Fortunately, the Jingguan had not been actually built yet. Chu Xiangqian suddenly thought of Bai Qi, Xiang Yu, Wang Mang and other people in history.

Bai Qi buried alive 40 Zhao prisoners of war and built Jingguan.

Xiang Yu killed 20 surrendered Qin soldiers and also built a Jingguan.

Wang Mang killed the generals who opposed him and also killed the entire family of the generals and built a Jingguan.

The purpose is nothing more than to intimidate the enemy.

But in the end, none of the three had a good ending.

In many cases, building Jingguan not only fails to scare the enemy, but instead arouses the enemy's greater and more resolute determination to fight.

Considering the fact that the Vietnamese and Chinese had been fighting for 20 years, using more than Vietnamese soldiers to build a Jingguan would inevitably result in revenge on the Chinese soldiers.

Perhaps all Chinese in Vietnam will be targets of retaliation.

Chu Xiangqian cursed himself inwardly.

It’s better not to provoke the Vietnamese people too much.

They collected more than a dozen giant apes, threw a few gasoline barrels on the pile of corpses, and set it on fire.

Soon, three huge fires were lit in the jungle.

Chu Xiangqian even spread gasoline and set fire everywhere in the jungle, and once the fire really started.

Even tropical jungles will eventually burn to ashes.

It not only conceals clues and evidence to the greatest extent, but also makes the Vietnamese people mistakenly believe that the soldiers in the jungle may have been burned to death by the fire.

Of course, even if it can't deceive the Vietnamese top brass.

But it also gave him an excuse to appease the soldiers and stabilize the morale of the army.

As for whether to believe it or not, Chu Xiangqian believes that except for a few people who have experienced it personally, other people will only believe the truth that their superiors tell them and make them believe.

As Chu Xiangqian continued to spread gasoline and set it on fire, the fire soon became out of control.

In the darkness of the night, the flames could be seen from dozens of miles away.

Fortunately, this jungle is only 9 square kilometers, so even if it were completely burned, the damage and harm caused would be limited.
-
Two days later, Chu Xiangqian returned safely to Hong Kong Island. He did not report to his superiors immediately, but did as he had planned before.

Call Vladimir, who has been cooperating with us for many years. In the past two days, some news has been passed back to the polar bear.

When Vladimir received the call, the first thing he asked was, "Chu, is Yue Nan's matter related to you?"

Chu Xiangqian chuckled and thought to himself, after so many years of cooperation, Vladimir and his backers had made a lot of money, and now they were finally getting rewarded.

Otherwise, Vladimir would not have asked this question as soon as the call was connected.

They would never ask so directly, but would find various reasons to test.

To put it bluntly, they are simply reluctant to give up the good cooperative relationships that have been established over the years and the millions of dollars in profits each year.

This amount of money is nothing to the country.

But for Vladimir and the big guys behind him, it is not a small amount of money.

If necessary, I can help Chu Xiangqian cover up.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian must also pay, and the amount will definitely not be small.

But for Chu Xiangqian, problems that can be solved with money are not a problem at all.

Since Chu Xiangqian had already guessed that what he had done in Yuenan could not be hidden from the polar bears, he naturally had a way to appease them.

He answered irrelevantly, "Dear Valodia, I have a business worth 1 million US dollars. Are you still willing to trade with me?"

Vladimir couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Chu Xiangqian call him by his 'nickname'.

I thought to myself, this guy is only so easy to talk to when he needs help from me.

But deep down, he really didn't want his country, or the bigwigs in the army, to be at odds with Chu Xiangqian.

Although he regained his face, he and his backers lost millions of dollars in stable profits each year.

As long as the profits are big enough, these people won’t care even if ten times more people die.

So when faced with the $1 million business that Chu Xiangqian mentioned, for Vladimir, as long as this business really existed, everything would be fine.

Not to mention Vladimir himself, even his backers and his backers' backers would take the initiative to help Chu Xiangqian distance himself from this matter.

At worst, we can share some of the profits with the military.

However, Vladimir would not let go of the opportunity to rob Chu Xiangqian.

He smiled and said, "We must do business, but we hope it will last for a long time."

Chu Xiangqian cursed in his heart, but in fact, he was not giving money to these vampires for nothing.

Maybe Vladimir and others can get 1 million, but I can definitely earn million or even million US dollars.

He smiled and said, "Well, for the sake of our friendship for many years, as long as you help me solve the problem, I will give you a business spanning 10 years, with an annual amount of at least 1 million US dollars.

If you want a guarantee, I can pay first and then you can give me what I want."

Vladimir's breathing became heavier when he heard this.

As for why it was ten years, it was just that Chu Xiangqian deliberately told Polar Bear that this money and this business were protection fees to protect himself.

Vladimir understood it as well, but that didn't stop him from having his heart beat faster.

Trying to suppress his excitement, he asked with an inevitably stuttering tone, "Chu, my dearest friend, as you Chinese say, as long as the money is in place, all the problems and troubles will no longer exist.

And we will become the closest partners, and you will become the best friend of my boss and my boss's boss."

Chu Xiangqian chuckled and said, "Wait for my news. As for the first advance payment of 10 million US dollars, do you want cash?
Or luxury goods like diamonds and pearls?
Or perhaps a bunch of gold bars gleaming with golden light?"

Unexpectedly, Vladimir said NO several times, "We don't want gold bars, we only want cash."

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but laugh and curse, this year the highest international gold price is 850 US dollars per ounce.

The lowest price was only $460.

It can be said that anyone who speculates in gold uses leverage.

With such a huge ups and downs, you will either make a fortune or lose everything.

Moreover, although the price of gold has been rising in the past, only those who hold long-term positions can make money.

For short-term investors, the probability of losing money is basically 60% to 70%.

In this era, there are very few private individuals speculating in gold, and even fewer people investing in it.

Therefore, many large clients, and even state capital, are the leeks in the gold futures market in the eyes of Wall Street.

Moreover, although the Bretton Woods system that pegged gold to the US dollar collapsed in 71, the US dollar began to be pegged to oil.

But it was only the 80th year at that time, and there was still a lot of capital that always regarded gold as a currency that maintained its value better than the US dollar.

Gold is bought and sold very frequently, which makes it easy for Wall Street and people like Chu Xiangqian to raise or lower the price of gold and reap profits from it all over the world.

Chu Xiangqian dared to do this because he relied on the huge amount of gold in his hands.

Over the years, the company has made several investments, and the profits each time were at least in the billions.

And it’s US dollars.

Fortunately, he is self-aware and basically follows the people on Wall Street to reap the benefits when the gold price is at its peak.

So even though the money isn’t much, it’s stable.

Even Wall Street tycoons like J.P. Morgan knew that he really had a large amount of gold in his hands.

More than a decade ago, Chu Xiangqian had 50 tons of gold stored in Standard Chartered alone.

At that time, these 50 tons of gold were worth less than million US dollars.

But by the 80s, it was worth $15 billion.

But over the years, the money Chu Xiangqian earned from gold futures, after converting it into gold, has long been more than 50 tons.

So over the years, whenever there was any real action, Morgan Jr. would look for him.

Or just ask directly whether you want to cooperate.

Or they could keep testing, so that they wouldn't spend several years preparing, and just when they were about to harvest, their plans would be disrupted by Chu Xiangqian.

In the end, as long as I make arrangements in advance, before I harvest the market again, I might as well drag him along to play.

Of course, during this period, people on Wall Street thought about taking the opportunity to reap Chu Xiangqian as well.

But Chu Xiangqian didn't have a clear idea of ​​the gold prices over the years.

But he had seen some historical high prices on the Internet in his previous life, so it would be very easy for him to make money from them.

More importantly, Chu Xiangqian knew what the price of gold would rise to in the future, even if it seemed like he was really at a disadvantage.

But he never does short-term trading, so there is no question of whether he will suffer a loss or not.

And he would buy it at a high price, and buy it back when the price is low.

Even all the profit in US dollars can be converted into gold.

After more than ten years, the 50 tons of gold that Chu Xiangqian originally deposited in Standard Chartered has now risen to 130 tons.

This gold alone is now worth $30 billion.

At the peak price of $850 an ounce, that would be $39 billion.
