Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

On the evening of June 1, 1981, under the witness of Zhao Mancang, the Persian Empire and the Date Palm Empire finally reconciled and shook hands in peace.

After the contract was signed, Zhao Mancang gave them 5 billion US dollars worth of food respectively as agreed.

There are still 5 billion US dollars of food left, which will be paid in a month.

So, it was decided that a large amount of oil would be shipped from these two countries and transported to all parts of the world.

The next day, June 2nd, the incident was in the news.

In New York, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon on June 2nd when John Morgan received the news.

"Fuck, this is impossible, how is it possible?"

When John Morgan heard the news, he immediately threw the cup in his hand away in anger.

Because after the ceasefire between the Persian Empire and the Date Palm Empire, international oil prices will definitely fall.

Once oil prices drop, it will inevitably impact the entire international oil market, and Yunlan City will definitely be able to get a chance to breathe.

This also means that Yunlan City can continue to hold on, while John Morgan and his team have already gambled their entire fortunes, and all they need is the final push.

Unexpectedly, oil prices dropped at this time, so where would they get more financial support?
That night, John Morgan and his group gathered together and began to discuss countermeasures.

Now they have only two choices: either cut their losses and exit, or continue to withdraw funds to bet.

But it is very difficult for them to find funds now. They can't use their own personal funds, right?

This is absolutely impossible.

And the most important point now is that until this moment, they still don’t know how much money Yunlan City has and how long Yunlan City can last.

Everything is unknown.

As long as Yunlan City doesn't explode, they won't be able to win and won't make any money.

But if they don't continue to bet and cut their losses and leave at this time, the days ahead for those present will probably not be easy.

How to do?
"Keep going. Let's see how much money Yunlan City has left."

"Besides, the Date Palm Empire and the Persian Empire might just be a feint, so we must persevere. Victory is imminent."

Clement Newman said this through gritted teeth, for he had gone completely mad, and his eyes were red.

But at this moment, someone knocked on the door of their conference room.

If someone knocks on the door at this time, it must be an emergency.

So they all stood up, and a man came in from outside. He looked panicked and apprehensive and said:
"Boss, I just got the news that a vicious robbery broke out in Yunlan City local time. Hundreds of tons of gold were exposed to the public. This is all real gold."

hiss!
The robbers actually went to rob the gold in Yunlan City, so this matter must be true.

But isn’t Yunlan City out of money?

Where did they get the funds to buy hundreds of tons of gold?

Betley Rockefeller, John Morgan, Augustine Davis and others all changed their expressions and wanted to curse.

Because this kind of thing didn't happen in Yunlan City earlier or later, but it happened at this time. Isn't this a bad thing?

"Is it possible that this gold is fake? Maybe Yunlan City has run out of funds and is just putting on a show for us?"

At this moment, Walter DuPont suddenly spoke.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, maybe this was really possible, but they were just confused and didn't think of it.

"Then give it a try!!!"

The next day, several gold companies in Yunlan City suddenly received a large number of orders to purchase gold.

Referring to the current price, gold is definitely much more expensive than before.

Gold orders worth millions and tens of millions of dollars came one after another.

After Zhao Mancang learned about this, he asked them to sell it directly without hesitation.

"Boss, if they cancel the order and we don't have that much gold, then..."

The relevant person in charge asked worriedly after hearing this. Zhao Mancang glared at him unhappily and said:
"This isn't something you should worry about. I know exactly how much gold I have. Humph, just execute the instructions."

How much gold there is? Could it be that Zhao Mancang himself doesn’t know?

There is so much gold in the Rand Central Gold Mine that it can produce about 800 to 1,000 tons of gold every year, and most of this gold is taken away by Zhao Mancang.

Who says that the Super Dollar is indeed a very good currency?

Moreover, in addition to the Rand Central Gold Mine, Zhao Mancang also knew where there were other gold vaults. If there was really an emergency with gold, he would definitely go and get some in advance to deal with the emergency.

What's more, people like John Morgan don't have that much money at all, so there's nothing for him to worry about.

So in the following time, John Morgan, Clement Newman, Betley Rockefeller and others remotely controlled their people in Yunlan City, ordering them to hurry up and purchase more gold.

During this period, Zhao Mancang returned to Beijiang City several times to accompany Lin Wan as much as possible.

The latter had just given birth to twins and was weaker than ever before. Zhao Mancang had to give her proper care.

"What have you thought of for the two children's names?"

Hearing Lin Wan's question, Zhao Mancang smiled and said, "I've already thought of a few names. Which one do you want to choose?"

To be honest, naming is really a headache for most parents, because no matter which name they choose, they all sound good.

Especially those young people who have just become parents, they always want to give their children the best name, and they even pray to gods and ask the most famous scholar in the local area.

Of course, there are also some people who look up several good names in the dictionary, but when they want to finalize it, they don’t know which one to choose.

This is how choice difficulty comes about.

However, Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan did not have such confusion. After hearing the several options given by Zhao Mancang, Lin Wan quickly made her decision.

"Then let's choose Zhao Tianyi and Zhao Xinyi."

It's a casual, yet nice name, perfect for the twins.

After deciding on the name, Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan felt much more relaxed as they no longer had to call the child by his nickname.

Before they were born, Lin Wan had already given the two little ones nicknames. The older one was called Xiaotuanzi and the younger one was called Xiaonuomi.

Actually, this name is not bad, but it is not so good after all if the real name is not decided.

The very next day after the name was decided, Zhao Mancang received a reply from Yunlan City: those international speculators had stopped purchasing gold, seemingly ready to admit defeat. In a magnificent room in New York, John Morgan, Betley Rockefeller, Augustine Davis, Clement Newman, and others all sat with gloomy expressions.

Yunlan City is like a turtle shell. No matter how hard they hit it, it will never break.

The funds they have are bottomless.

They had clearly been purchasing large amounts of gold continuously over the past week or so, and had invested at least 2 billion US dollars, but Yunlan City still did not seem to be in a panic.

So they cut their losses in time and stopped purchasing gold.

"Everyone, let's talk about this. How can we evacuate safely? How can we minimize the losses as much as possible?"

The current era context is that after the US dollar withdrew from the Bretton Woods system in the early 1970s, the US dollar was no longer pegged to gold, but implemented a floating mechanism.

Developed countries in Europe and the United States are all transforming and upgrading their capital economies, while at the same time promoting economic globalization behind the scenes.

Developed countries have transferred most of their highly polluting and low value-added manufacturing industries to developing countries with low labor costs, and then taken back the bulk of the profits.

For example, there is a classic smile curve theory in the original space-time.

In this smile curve theory, at the top of both sides are patent innovation and brand marketing, both of which can earn the greatest profits, while at the bottom of the middle of the smile curve is the manufacturing end.

Manufacturing is a low-end industry with very low added value.

Taking the original time and space as an example, Nike brought funds to the mainland to invest in building factories, and took advantage of the mainland's extremely low human resource costs and very favorable tax policies to sell the shoes, clothes and other products produced to developing countries or developed countries.

In this way, Nike can successfully recover its profits.

After all, the cost of producing a pair of shoes in mainland China may be only about ten yuan, but the selling price is as high as two hundred US dollars. The brand sales profit is very amazing.

To some extent, this economic development model is not entirely suitable for today's Yunlan City.

After all, Yunlan City’s economic development model from investment and construction to its current state has only been around for a little over three years.

Moreover, Yunlan City's current economic structure is still very healthy. Finance, steel manufacturing, road infrastructure, ordinary self-employed individuals, etc., are all relatively complete economic industrial chains.

The reason why John Morgan and others set their sights on Yunlan City was not because the smile curve theory gave Yunlan City an extremely amazing value, but on the contrary, it was because Yunlan City itself had great value potential.

And the most important point is that the funds hidden behind Yunlan City are too much and mouth-watering.

It’s a pity that they have no way to continue now. They have lost completely in this financial war.

"I'm going to the Pentagon and ask them to help me go to the Gulf of Aden."

Betley Rockefeller said in a deep voice.

He is a typical example of someone who can't afford to play and wants to resort to force to solve the problem.

Clement Newman, John Morgan, Augustine Davis and others were suddenly silent.

It seems that from the current situation, this is the only good solution.

Otherwise, if they want to withdraw the funds smoothly, they will be skinned alive.

Once the losses are really huge, the consequences are definitely not what they want to see, and they don't want to bear such a failure.

So after they discussed it, they set off for the Pentagon together.

In the Pentagon office, after hearing this, Edward Wilson raised a finger:
"10 billion US dollars, I need 10 billion US dollars in appearance fees"

As soon as these words came out, John Morgan and the others all stood up angrily:

"Fuck, that's impossible! You're asking for too much! Ten billion dollars is too much! The most we can offer you is five hundred million dollars."

Upon hearing this, Edward Wilson raised his eyebrows and sneered:
"Ten billion dollars is still a lot? In that case, then goodbye!"

He had no intention of bargaining and just sent the guest away.

How naive!

These young people from the capital tycoons all have a high opinion of themselves, thinking they are all-powerful and have unlimited abilities.

Ha, ridiculous!

Who doesn’t know what’s happening in Manhattan, New York?

As for the matter of Yunlan City, everyone is very clear about it. Coming to Eduardo at this time is simply giving him money.

As for saying that 10 billion US dollars is a huge ask?
Uninformed!
After John Morgan and his men suffered a defeat, a few days passed. At this time, on the other side, Yunlan City had already begun to fight back.

Now that the decisive battle has begun, we should seize the opportunity to pursue the victory instead of waiting.

What's more, John Morgan and his men don't seem to have many bullets left. In other words, now is the time for Yunlan City to fight back.

After learning about the situation in Yunlan City, John Morgan and his men became extremely anxious, like ants on a hot pan.

In the end, after negotiating with Eduardo Wilson, Clement Newman and his team agreed to pay the other party 8 billion US dollars.

After the conditions were agreed upon, Eduardo Wilson began to take action.

At the headquarters of the Yunlan City office building, Lu Yangui suddenly received the latest information from the Intelligence Department.

"Two large aircraft carrier fleets appeared in the Indian Ocean, flying bald eagles."

Lu Yangui's face suddenly changed, and when other responsible persons learned about this, their expressions also became serious.

How to do?
Others seem to be planning to resort to force, which is obviously not a good idea.

Zhao Mancang soon learned about this matter. He immediately flew over from Beijiang City. After seeing Lu Yangui and the others, he immediately said:

"You must immediately send personnel to the Indian Ocean region near Antarctica. We are going to conduct a nuclear test there."

what?
No one expected that Zhao Mancang would be so tough.

It seems that Sam's conspiracy will definitely not succeed this time.

The Black Cross troops immediately gathered in the Gulf of Aden, and two teams headed directly to the Indian Ocean near Antarctica.

Two days later, an intercontinental missile was launched from somewhere in Yunlan City, then quickly streaked across the sky and flew rapidly towards the Indian Ocean.

"Fuck, Fuck!!!"

In the command department of the aircraft carrier, Eduardo Wilson, who learned of this, ran out quickly and stood on the deck to look at the sky.

The intercontinental missile drew a beautiful arc in the blue sky and passed over their heads.

The speed was so fast that it was almost like blinking an eye, and it was from here to the other side. (End of this chapter)
