Chapter 161 (1/2)
Enter his room, here is very simple, in addition to a bed, a table, a few sofas, wall hung with some decorative weapons, there is not much decoration.
Su Ming signals Qin Jiu to sit down. He has something to arrange.
He didn't rush to talk, but poured himself wine first. Over the past few years, he was not used to drinking happy water in fat house. Instead, he took all kinds of spirits as new drinks.
”Do you know what I asked you to do today?”
Qin wine is still the same as before, wearing his old-fashioned glasses, and has not gained weight in recent years. He still sits on the sofa in a proper manner.
”Please tell me, I don't think it's the boss. Are you going to make records?”
”Oh, write it down. Buying a record company is one of them.”
Su Ming thought about it. In this era, the sales of records are very common. However, if you buy one, you can always use it when you become a media company.
Although Qin liquor has the title of the second leader of the distillery, the distillery is not really a gangster. In fact, he is just Su Ming's secretary. He takes out a small book from his suit and records Su Ming's confession.
”The great depression has broken out. This depression will last for ten years. I am probably the richest person in New York now, and it is a good opportunity for development. I'll give you a month to acquire a large iron and steel plant, a large chemical enterprise, with oil field exploitation rights. A few arms companies, an aircraft manufacturer, a large shipyard, at least four large dry docks, and ranches and farms in New York State, you can buy as many as you can
Su Ming said slowly. The old desk lamp in the room gave out a faint light. He looked at the Qin wine and wrote these things in his book with unique shorthand symbols, savoring the wine in the cup.
”Boss, the overall social and economic downturn is very low now. Many enterprises are in debt. Although it is easy to take over, we will also carry the debt. It is conservatively estimated that the cost may be more than 50 million US dollars, and it is difficult to sell the products now.”
Qin wine went through all the items, frowned, thought for a while, and worked out a price.
”The U.S. financial tsunami will affect the whole world, but it's not where there is no money. Gold, oil, are valuable all the time.”
”Where there is no money...”
”do you know what the specialty of Africa is?” Su Ming rubbed his desk, went to the chair and sat down, asked him lightly.
At that time, most of Africa was British and French colonies, but the colonists did not care how the aborigines lived. Many places there were tribal or slavery.
There, barter is not affected by financial fluctuations at all.
Their economic conditions depend more on the climate and precipitation of that year. Food is the most valuable thing there.
Just like when the Spanish conquerors discovered Maya, they could exchange a large piece of gold with a blanket, because Maya's trade settlement was based on alpaca and cocoa beans, and gold was just a stone for them to build palaces.
It's stupid to have a white pig exchange stone with incomparably exquisite cloth.
So the Spaniards took tens of thousands of tons of gold from South America with all kinds of cheap industrial products and plunder. Before the invincible fleet was overturned by the British navy, they were the world's maritime overlord.
It's no exaggeration. Many people can't imagine how rich America was at that time. The Spanish gold fleet, which sank in 1702, is the largest treasure in the world.
According to historical records, there were more than 5000 carriages of gold that sank with the ship at that time, and the volume of a ton of gold was only 0.05 cubic meters, and the four tons of gold pulled by a carriage was only a thin layer.
It was the last voyage of the golden fleet, and before that, they had transported countless pieces back to China.
Qin wine is not as black as he was when he first arrived in New York. In order to help Su Ming better, he has been learning and enriching himself in the past two years.
”African specialties are gold, gems, and ethnic conflict.”
”That's right. By the way, we'll buy some ocean going freighters, set up a company, get our products to French North Africa, sell them to Africa through there, and send some of our own people there to help me find out about the next country called vacanda.”
”Good boss.”
It's clear that the gin is going to trade various products for hard currency in Africa, which is a good business indeed. Although Africans now know the value of gold, it's just for more food.
