Chapter 908 908 Sacrifice to the avant-garde 2
Brazil, Exploration Headquarters of the Amazon United Mining Group.
The so-called United Mining Group is actually an industry jointly controlled by Vale and the Brazilian royal family, and the investment and technical personnel are basically from Vale, and the Brazilian royal family only invests in the exploration and exploitation license.
Therefore, it is not a surprise that Vale's big boss Lin Guokai appeared at the exploration headquarters.
"Our exploration on this side of the valley is almost over," said the technical director from Canada, "and it is predicted that after the official mining, the iron ore production in this mining area will be equivalent to one-third of the current iron ore production in Brazil, and even the sale of crude ore will make a lot of money every year." ”
"Very good, very good." Lin Guokai nodded with satisfaction, "In the future, the world's demand for iron ore will definitely increase significantly, and this mining area and the super-large cement plant that will be put into operation are our financial resources." ”
"Sir, I know that war requires a lot of steel, but this cement ...... Now the battlefield in Europe is not like the last war, and there is no need for a lot of cement to build permanent trenches, right? ”
"You don't understand this," Lin Guo said with a smile, "The war will always be over, Europe has been beaten into a pot of paste, and a large amount of cement will naturally be needed for reconstruction in the future, and the straight-line distance between Brazil and Europe is short, and the cement we produce in Brazil can be quickly transported to Europe to be sold." ”
"You're right."
"In fact, in the current situation, Russia is probably about to make peace with the Human Innovation Alliance, and after Russia withdraws from the war, it will inevitably need a lot of cement to rebuild, and our business opportunities are coming soon."
When it came to the business opportunity, everyone present laughed, who doesn't want to make more money?
Just when everyone was smiling because of the small money that was about to arrive, Lin Guokai's deputy Ballmer hurriedly entered the door.
"Oh Ballmer, why are you here?" The moment Lin Guokai saw Ballmer, he opened his arms to welcome the old man, "Could it be that there is something wrong in the United States?" New York Stock Exchange has a new wave? ”
"There were people who tried to trick us with guò stocks, but they didn't make him successful. In addition, the share prices of several companies in which we have a stake are growing well. If this continues, we are sure of a bumper harvest in the equity space. Lin, I'm here for something else. Ballmer said and put his mouth to Lin Guokai's ear, "News from England, French radio broadcasts have been broadcasting Shakespeare's plays for many days, and yesterday it was "King Lear". ”
Lin Guokai glanced at Ballmer: "Really? ”
"Absolutely."
"yes, I see." After speaking, Lin Guokai suddenly raised his voice, "Really? Is Miss Charlotte really going to introduce that bill? ”
"Yes, Lin, I'm afraid that's it." Ballmer also immediately echoed Lin Guokai, "I really don't understand what Miss Charlotte thinks, at this time, restricting stock trading will cause various consortia to lose a lot of income, and seeing that the midterm elections in Congress are imminent, isn't she afraid that the Democrats will lose their seats in Congress?" ”
There is a certain gap between the time of the presidential election in the United States in this time and space and another time and space, according to another time and space, the midterm elections at the end of 43 have just passed, and in 44 years, a new round of presidential election will begin, and in this time and space, Charlotte took office a little later than another time and space, so the midterm elections have been pushed back accordingly.
The bill that Lin Guokai said at this time had been widely circulated among American capitalists before, and its main content was to restrict stock and futures trading, stabilize the market, and prohibit capitalists from taking advantage of the war to accumulate wealth. In the United States, because of the full shift of industrial production to military use, coupled with the hoarding of goods and market manipulation by capitalists and big trusts, prices are soaring, the stock market is inflated, and the futures market is also in chaos.
After that, there were rumors that Charlotte was going to restructure the stock market.
In fact, most capitalists know that the stock market is bound to be restricted, after all, it is not a good thing to let large capital with a large number of orders and therefore sufficient funds to make waves in the stock market. The capitalists are also aware of this, so even if the relevant bill is officially introduced, it will not have such a big reaction as Lin Guokai said, the capitalists are making money now, and they don't want to replace Charlotte so quickly.
Lin Guokai just made that discussion, just to use it as a cover.
After a grumble, Lin Guokai let out a long sigh.
"Looks like I'm going to have to go back home and take care of the stock market and related things, Ballmer, I'm going to bother you to do what I haven't done in Brazil. I'll go back now, and you'll start taking over from here. ”
"No problem." Ballmer patted Lin Guokai on the shoulder, then hugged him, and whispered under the cover of the hug, "I don't know what you're going to do, but be careful, the FBI is very nervous right now, and it's cracking down on labor activists everywhere, even the mafia, just because Sicily is now under the control of the Human Renewal." ”
"Don't worry, I'm just going back to meet some big guys." Lin Guokai said softly.
Ballmer let go of Lin Guokai and said loudly, "Have a good trip." ”
Lin Guokai nodded, turned around and gave his guard a look, and then walked away from the headquarters.
When the car he was in drove out of the main entrance of the United Mining Company's plant, he saw a car parked in the corner outside the door, with two strangers sitting inside.
"Since when has that car been there?" Lin Guokai asked the bodyguard in the co-pilot's seat.
"Not long after you arrived this morning, the guards reported that they had stopped there."
"Hmph, I'm very diligent, I just don't know if it's the FBI or the Army Intelligence Department."
"Or maybe a tax agent from the Federal Inland Revenue Service." The bodyguard said in a joking tone.
"Oh my God," Lin Guo laughed, "if that's the case, it's a lot scary than the FBI or something." ”
The most powerful secret service in the United States of America has always been the tax collection department of the Federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and it doesn't matter if you are a business tycoon or a mafia godfather, if you don't pay your taxes, the tax agents will make you wear small shoes. So for a long time, a series of urban legends have been formed among the wealthy, all of which are related to the pervasive tax agents.
This is reflected in many movies in another time and space, such as the Shawshank Redemption, where the villain villain who covers the sky with one hand has a headache for paying taxes, and they dare to kill people and set fires, but they dare not pay taxes......
