Chapter 969 Chinese Silver

Vivien Leigh was going to meet Marilyn Monroe. Of course Alan Wilson would not object, but he also had his own things to do.

Although he expressed goodwill to China and tied up the proposal of selling Scam Island to the United States, it was concluded that it was rejected without receiving a reply.

But there are other things to inform the mainland of the British ambassador to the United Nations, Lord Cassia, about Britain's openness to Argentina on the Falkland Islands.

Or just meet up with two friends, such as Ronald Reagan, the future president of the United States who was at the forefront of the times.

In fact, none of the above is important. What is really important is hoarding silver, which requires a lot of money. Manipulating precious metals requires huge funds, otherwise you will not be qualified to enter the market.

This is not like Grace and the others, who shipped dozens of tons of finished poppy products to the Americas, and were still proud of the three melons and two dates they got.

The American Silver Party has always been strong, which is related to the fact that the United States has huge silver reserves.

Moreover, the Americas are the backyard of the United States. The world's top silver-producing countries are all in the Americas, and they are all covered by the Monroe Doctrine. Regarding the right to speak on silver, the United States does have the foundation to implement the silver standard.

This is also the advantage that the Silver Party members have always been thinking about. Using silver as a supplement to gold will make the value of the US dollar stronger. This is also the idea of ​​the Silver Party supporters.

He always goes to the consulate, naturally because the consulate has a high degree of confidentiality. Alan Wilson needs to know exactly whether his wife's group has silver mines in Australia, so that they can join in this money-making trip together.

Although Vivien Leigh has United Artists Pictures and Barbie Doll Company in the United States, when it comes to an industry like silver, she is far from powerful. The real big boss is the power that Alan Wilson himself can mobilize.

"In Queensland, Australia, it was discovered last year. However, you once said that if you find minerals, you will directly obtain the mining rights, but you will keep it secret and do not rush to exploit it. It is still closed now."

With his wife's call back, Alan Wilson instantly felt confident. The Cannington Silver Mine was a famous silver mine. Australia has almost no shortage of minerals. Whether it is coal, iron, petroleum, which are most important for industry, or precious metals with high value, almost all of them are available.

But God is fair. The water resources available to Australia as a whole are difficult to cope with even for agriculture, not to mention that industrial water consumption is even greater. Australia, which has all the minerals that are easy to mine and have huge reserves, can only choose to sell the minerals in the end. No industrialization effort is as easy as selling mines.

The Cannington Silver Mine is the highest quality silver mine in the world. Like all minerals in Australia, it is almost an open-pit mine and can be dug directly eight to ten meters underground.

"Mining immediately!" Alan Wilson asked about the situation of the silver mine and immediately replied to his wife on the telegram.

Now the Deputy Secretary-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has an immature idea swirling in his mind. It is known that silver will usher in a sharp rise in the next two years. Even if there is another possibility that Kennedy does not come to power, silver will not plummet. possible.

It is very consistent with the general concept of making sure profits without losing money. It is inevitable to join this money-making feast. But he had to do it without exposing the source of the silver. Australia is a vast country with few people, so it shouldn't be difficult to think of a way to keep it secret.

But you can't conjure silver out of thin air without exposing the location of the Cannington Silver Mine, right? Let's say at least a few hundred tons of stuff. Once it enters the market, it is impossible not to be discovered. There must be a source.

"What MI6 can't verify, the CIA shouldn't be able to verify? Then, the best place for silver to be produced is inside the Iron Curtain." Alan Wilson figured this out and already had a whole set of plans in his mind.

China is actually also a major silver-producing country. Of course, the prerequisite is that it was a major silver-producing country in the industrial era. On the contrary to Australia, there is certainly no shortage of various minerals in China, but they are buried very deep and are difficult to mine, and their purity is not high enough. This is different from the various open-pit minerals in Australia.

For the places where silver was produced in China during the agricultural era, just look at the distribution map of a few ethnic minorities who had the tradition of wearing silverware.

In the agricultural era, China not only lacked silver, but also lacked copper. Copper was already a last resort for China and it could choose the most indispensable precious metal.

Decades later, China has always been the top three silver-producing countries, but the silver produced is extracted from the associated mines of other minerals. The by-products of these associated mines have made China surpass the other major silver-producing countries. .

So it was decided that there was no Cannington Silver Mine, only Chinese silver. If Kennedy came to power more than a year later, it would be a special time period, and it would make sense for the silver to come from China.

Making molds is not difficult for Alan Wilson. He can completely borrow the relevant talents on the Scam Island. If something happens, he is Mr. Chang, and if nothing happens, he is Peanut. For this matter alone, he can be Mr. Chang.

They don't even need gunners. The Mountbatten Group sells oil refining equipment and requires some molds with Chinese silver specifications. This condition should not be excessive, at least he thinks it is not excessive.

Since there was no possibility of losing money, in the spirit of equal benefit, Alan Wilson used the Great Summoning Technique, and Boris, the manager of the Newfoundland Crown Territory Foundation, landed in Los Angeles a day later.

Compared with the embarrassment of Alan Wilson when he was first built, Boris is a completely different person. He has the aura of a successful person all over his body. I wonder if the open-toed leather shoe will be left behind to remember the bitterness if it is thrown away. Think sweet.

"Governor Allen." When they first met, Boris opened his mouth and greeted him with an old title.

Alan Wilson was stunned when he heard the title of Governor, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Didn't I say before? This appointment of Governor was an appointment that Whitehall deceived me at that time, and it is not an official position."

At the time, the British government generally believed that Newfoundland was a mess and was burdened with huge debts. The biggest idea is to merge Newfoundland and Canada as soon as possible. If it is delayed for a long time, it will be cheaper for the United States.

Alan Wilson's appointment came unexpectedly. Not surprisingly, like his father-in-law, he will return to Whitehall to accept work arrangements as the last chief executive of Newfoundland.

By a stroke of luck, he discovered that the largest number of supporters in Newfoundland were groups independent of the United States and Canada, and then he started the summer operation. Fortunately, the results were good, and he paid off his debts and left office.

After more than ten years, Newfoundland is now, to be modest, just a little wealthier than Canada and the United States. The United States has a per capita of 2,900, Canada has a per capita of 2,200, and Newfoundland has a per capita of 3,500.

This reality has emboldened Newfoundland to pursue autonomy. Who doesn’t want to be superior to others?

"Looking at your high spirits, Newfoundland must have made a lot of money during this World Cup in Sweden." Alan Wilson said gently, "But it is really exciting to see the wealthy life in the place where I served before. Feelings. By the way, one thing to remind you to be mentally prepared is that the Cayman Islands and the Virgin Islands should also be built as offshore financial centers."

"Governor, this?" Boris was very serious when he heard it. He must not like the news. Who wants a competitor to appear?

"Don't worry, there are still all differences. For example, the two islands currently only provide call services for private yachts and private jets, just like the companies call in Newfoundland. They only charge management fees." Alan Wilson said calmly Explained, "There are also a number of islands with similar conditions to Newfoundland in British hands. There must be some emphasis, right?"

During the just past World Cup in Sweden, the Newfoundland Crown Territory made a net income of more than 40 million U.S. dollars from gambling.

Don't underestimate this number. Newfoundland has a population of less than 200,000, which is equivalent to the hard work of an American and a Canadian for more than a year during the World Cup.

"In my personal name, I hope that the Newfoundland Foundation will provide a fund to help. I don't know if you will refuse." After the greetings, Alan Wilson went directly to the topic and looked at Boris, who had already changed his mind.

"How much does the governor want?" Boris immediately replied, "If it is less than 100 million, we will fully support it."

"That's enough." Alan Wilson smiled easily, "Don't worry, the British Empire may not be able to handle everything on this earth, but most things can still be handled. When the time comes, I will use the channels of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Contact St. Johns and wait for the good news.”

Before Alan Wilson took office as High Commissioner to Malaya, he held shares in dozens of comprador companies, and then provided policy support. He himself may not remember how much those shares are worth now, but the Royal Territory of Newfoundland The administrators of the foundation are fully aware of this.

Boris was really busy. After the verbal agreement, he took the Newfoundland Airline Comet back directly.

The purchase price of a passenger plane is only 275,000 pounds, which is not a big expense for Newfoundland.

Alan Wilson took out his small notebook and wrote the words "Chinese Silver" to prevent him from forgetting when he was busy.

In Marilyn Monroe's mansion, Vivien Leigh was chatting happily with her friends. At this time, she was not as charming as she was upstairs yesterday. At that time, she had her hands behind her back, attached to her waist; her legs were stiff and slightly apart. , in this slightly too stiff posture, she still maintained an elegant posture. Her face showed the gentle expression of confidence and thoughtfulness that characterizes a good student with a vivid imagination.

She always maintained the same posture; always staring in the same direction, which was the sea. He didn't care at all that this was Marilyn Monroe's home, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to it.

"Vivian, you really don't know anyone when you come to my place." Marilyn Monroe pointed out, her eyes fell on the man chatting with her housekeeper, "What's so good about him, you are so accommodating to him."
