Mediterranean Hegemony Road - v5 Chapter 158

The United Kingdom is a weathervane for all countries in the world. Since the London government has taken measures, everyone naturally wants to follow suit.

Soon the European and American countries announced that they would raise tariffs. Countries that did not abandon the gold standard also abandoned the gold standard, and the price of gold on the international market plummeted.

What is Ferdinand doing at this time? Of course, buy buy buy? At this time, do not buy gold, when?

Does gold depreciate? That’s nonsense!

I have never heard a word. Twenty years ago, one ton of gold could buy a street in Beijing. Twenty years later, one ton of gold could buy a store in Beijing at most!

On the surface, the price of gold has not fallen so much? In fact, inflation is happening all the time, and there is no way around it.

The purchase of gold is actually a small business, and governments of various countries are not stupid. It will not allow a large amount of gold to flow out. The main purpose is to buy antiques and cultural relics.

Buying gold is just a distraction. As long as humans still use gold as currency, the price of gold will not fall too much.

Ferdinand is not fussy. He doesn’t even notice the antiques and cultural relics from all over the world.

The economic crisis broke out, and antiques and cultural relics, which are rarely seen, can be sold at this time.

Before survival, who cares about antiques and cultural relics?

“James, you can see that this is a treasure left over from the Sun Dynasty. How could it be worth five pounds?” One growled.

“Enough is enough! I pay five pounds. This is already a sky-high price. Go out and ask yourself. Now, at this time, the price of antiques on the market?

Is there a higher bid than mine? If so, you sell them! “James said impatiently.

“Mr. James, your antique business is still operating in this area. Where can I go?” Will frowned.

“It’s good to know. Now is the time of the economic crisis. Antiques are not valuable at all. Can I find a buyer when I purchase these goods? Is it a question?

Moreover, you are the antiques left over from the Sun dynasty, these things have not been of high value in Britain.

If you think about it, how many rich people are interested in Indian civilization? “James continued.

“But Mr. James, this is a scepter? Its historical status is extraordinary. How can it be compared with ordinary antiques?

Before the economic crisis, you did n’t sell 300 pounds. Why is it worth 100 pounds at this time? Will again bargained

“You also know that it is a time of economic crisis? One hundred pounds, why don’t you grab it? If it was a scepter from the Roman Empire, it would be almost the same!

Now I can only give you up to £ 7, which is already a high price. You have to understand that the current market situation cannot be compared with the normal period. If you want to sell high prices, wait for the economic crisis to end! “James doesn’t care.

In the past month or so, he has received more antiques than in previous years, one more and one less. He really doesn’t care.

Originally in this economic crisis, he also suffered heavy losses and owed a huge amount of debt, which seemed to be going bankrupt.

A former old customer contacted him and bought all his antiques in one go at the price of cabbage, so that he could still pay interest and not go bankrupt immediately!

Later he knew that someone was buying antiques and how much they wanted. James is not stupid, he knows that there must be big shots.

At this time, as long as you are able to save money, you can not only pay off debts, but also make a lot of money.

Anyway, the antique industry is very deep. It has been more than thirty years in this industry, and James is already a good man.

Due to the pre-consumption relationship, the British people basically have a lot of debt. When the economy is running well, they can pay their debts with wages, and the problem is not big.

As soon as the economic crisis broke out and the tide of unemployment came, everyone would have no money to pay off their loans.

Not only that, many people are unable to maintain their livelihood. In order to survive, they can only be supported by selling assets at a bargain.

In the economic crisis in the United States in history, millions of people died in a few years, and we know that the economic crisis is terrible.

“50 pounds, can’t be lower! If it is lower, I’d rather destroy it!” Will said nervously.

“Ten pounds, whatever you like. Above this price, I will lose money. Antiques of this period are not worth it!”

James once again emphasized that antiques are not valuable, which is the most common and practical tactic he used.

Since Will walked into his store, James has been instilling in him-now is the time of the economic crisis, antiques are not worth the money, constantly lowering his heart price.

“Mr. James, the price is too low. We are all old neighbors. Everyone has lived on this street for so long. You must help me this time!

Now I am unemployed and my lover is unemployed. I still have three children to support. Now we need a sum of money to survive. Please, God will bless you! “Will said excitedly.

“Well, who calls me a good person? For the sake of everyone’s neighbors for a long time, I’ll add five pounds to you, and I’ve done this business for nothing.

That money will save you a bit of money, and it should be enough for you to stick with it for more than three months.

During this time, you should be able to find new jobs. All this will pass. The future will be fine. May God bless you! “James said piously.

Obviously, James is very proficient, and he finds that Will is about to collapse. This time can not stimulate him.

A person who is going to lose his mind must give him a straw for life, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

James is a businessman. He knows the reason to accept when he sees good. First, draw a big cake for Will and let him see the future hope.

Even if his future spirit collapses, if he wants to explode the society, he will find someone instead of letting him collapse now.

This is bad. Will, who collapsed, crashed him with a single shot, and there are not a few guns in British folk this year.

Almost all European and American countries allow citizens to hold guns, and even the most basic supervision is not very strict.

As early as the 1688 Bill of Rights:

All subjects are Protestants, and for the sake of defense, they must use their own circumstances and provide weapons to the extent permitted by law.

The people can be robbed, so officials in the European and American governments are at high risk, and wanting unscrupulous exploitation is life-threatening.

The death rate of the President of the United States is as high as 20%, which is even more dangerous than the battlefield.

Capitalists squeeze workers, and they are far less horrible than in textbooks, unless they are not afraid of being shot at.

“Thank you Mr. James!” Will said excitedly.

“You’re welcome, to accompany your family well, as long as people are still there, everything can come back!” James comforted

…

When Will was sent away, James was tense and slowly relaxed. The business that was looted by the fire was indeed profitable, but it was also dangerous!

According to news released in the news, more than 10,000 shootings occurred in London alone after the stock market crash. London’s prisons were already overcrowded.

In the face of disasters, people are always vulnerable. The economic crisis has destroyed not only the economy, but also people’s fragile hearts.

Now in London, the variety of crimes is overwhelming.

Even the legendary hero Robin Hood was resurrected. Someone was playing his banner and organized to rob the rich and help the poor. They all wore masks and robbed banks everywhere.

After each robbery, they will throw a lot of cash on the ground and let the people pick it up, and each of them will only take one hundred pounds.

So far, the gang has ransacked more than 30 bank outlets and still no police have seized it.

Every time a British police officer is dispatched, countless British people cover them and evacuate them, just like heroes.

Of course, this has something to do with the police not working hard. Like most people, many police officers deeply agree with their approach.

As long as there is no resistance, Robin Hoods will not hurt people, which is a typical case of peaceful robbery.

In the street tabloids, these organizations have become heroes, attracted a group of “Grand Theft” to join, and then quickly spread from London to the world.

A series of big cities such as Paris, New York, Washington, Lisbon, Venice, Rome, Berlin, and Vienna have all appeared in “Robin Hood”.

Ferdinand, the original creator, dare to guarantee that these have nothing to do with him. At most, he only guided and publicized the hero of Robin Hood.

As a vested interest, how could he promote “robbing the rich and helping the poor”? Isn’t this annoying with yourself?

These are all caused by their self-study, and the talent tree is crooked!

However, the Bulgarian film company has new shooting materials, “Grand Theft Robin Hood” has been quickly set up projects, many film companies have started this type of film.

If nothing else, this is a series of movies. It seems that any city where Robin Hood has appeared can make a movie, and the villains are of course national governments.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with Bulgaria. If they are not black, they are sorry for the audience. The movie adapted from realistic themes is the most likely to resonate in this era.

Of course, the protagonist is not necessarily Robin Hood, Zhou Binhan and Li Binhan are both fine, just change the name, otherwise a bunch of Robin Hoods come out, how does this copyright count?

box office? In this era, as long as the domestic box office is high enough, Europe and the United States will sell at most three melon and two dates, even if some countries have been banned, it does not matter, the main channel of communication in this era is piracy.

Pirates don’t care about government regulations. After this incident, it is estimated that the number of countries studying Bulgaria will increase a lot.

This generation who has just been injured by the stock disaster is likely to remember it. Ferdinand can guess which countries will announce the closure of the stock market after Bulgaria.

These are precedents. After the stock market crash, people who suffered heavy losses demanded that the stock market be closed, which is a common occurrence in continental Europe.

It’s just that we can’t stick to it every time, as long as the economy returns to normal, and then with the efforts of the capitalists, the stock market will open again soon.

…

London

As the first place where Robin Hood first appeared, the McDonald government was Alexander. Such a rampant criminal gang has not caught it so far. Doesn’t this mean that they are incompetent?

Capitalists are putting more and more pressure on the government, especially interest groups whose interests have been damaged in the new government economy. They are already planning to collapse.

However, at this time, it was still a mess, and no politician wanted to take the bid at this time, otherwise the government’s impeachment case had already entered Congress for a vote.

The most direct manifestation is that the Labor Party has been divided. McDonald, the Labor leader, has been ousted by them and forced to form the National Labor Party.

This can also be regarded as a legend in British history. Under normal circumstances, politicians rarely do such an absolute thing. Even if they do not support him, they will not fire the party leader?

It can only be said that the interests are moving. The capitalists who support the Labour Party abandoned McDonald behind the scenes, and the Labour Party will naturally break with him.

“Rice, when will the robbers be caught?” Prime Minister Macdonald asked with a frown.

“My Excellency, I cannot answer this question. Although these robbery cases seem to have been committed by a group of people, according to the on-site investigation by the police, this is not the case!

The criminals who initially played the Robin Hood banner were very professional in their crimes. From the beginning of the robbery to the evacuation, they were organized, and most of the money they robbed was distributed to the public.

Since there was no crossfire, it is unknown how their actual combat capabilities are.

In the next few cases, the crimes were much amateurish, but their marksmanship was very good. When they fought against bank security guards, they showed high military literacy, like soldiers.

When they finally left, although they also scattered a lot of cash on the ground, they took away gold, which was much more greedy than the previous gang.

And there was some confusion during the evacuation. If it was not for the London citizens to deliberately obstruct the police’s actions and cover them for retreat, they would be caught by the police.

At present, we can only send people to guard around the bank, waiting for them to be caught, it is difficult to wipe them out! Secretary of State Rice said with a bitter smile

“Don’t care so much, how much you can catch, regardless of life or death, we need to explain to the bankers!” McDonald thought about it and said

It is very difficult to investigate cases in this era. Moreover, this is not an ordinary case. Even if the real murder is found, as long as it is not stolen and obtained, people can also find evidence of absence. At this time, people in London who are willing to testify to them are too too much!

It was really troublesome at that time. If you did n’t deal with it, you could n’t give an account to the capitalists. If you had to deal with it, you could n’t be convicted.

Who called these robbers to do the business of robbing the rich and helping the poor?

In the eyes of ordinary people, they do not see any harm in doing so. Many young people in Britain now worship them as heroes.

“His Prime Minister, we have actually captured a batch of Robin Hood and are waiting in line for the trial of the court!

Can they all be scapegoats if needed? Secretary of State Rice suggested

“No, it is impossible to satisfy the capitalists by doing this. The most important thing is to prevent the Robin Hood Band from committing crimes ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ This matter can only end!

Otherwise, even with more scapegoats, the robbery is still going on. Do you think they will be satisfied? McDonald said with a grin.

In fact, even if all the killers were caught now, it would not satisfy the capitalists. Unless they can find a way to end the economic crisis immediately, it will not be possible to please everyone.

Had it not been for the signing of the Law on the Protection of Special Industries, which would allow consortia to treat them as their own, they would now be under even greater pressure.

The strength of ordinary capitalists and consortia is not a grade. Most of the banks that have been robbed now belong to consortia.

Because the cooperation was very pleasant last time, the consortium believed that the McDonald’s Cabinet was a friend who could cooperate, so he didn’t bother him at this time.

However, this thing of human feeling is the most unreliable, especially in the face of benefits. In the short term, it doesn’t matter if you give a face, no one’s face can be used for a long time!
