Mediterranean Hegemony Road

? The United Kingdom is the weathervane of all countries in the world. Now that the London government has taken measures, everyone will naturally follow suit.

Soon European and American countries announced to raise tariffs, countries that did not abandon the gold standard also abandoned the gold standard one after another, and the price of gold in the international market plummeted.

What was Ferdinand doing at this time? Of course it is to buy, buy, buy? At this time, if you don’t buy gold, when will you buy it?

Gold won't depreciate? That's bullshit!

I have never heard a saying that twenty years ago, one ton of gold could buy a street in the capital, and twenty years later, one ton of gold could buy at most one store in the capital!

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

The acquisition of gold is actually just a small business, and the governments of various countries are not stupid, and they will not let a large amount of gold flow out. The main purpose is to acquire antiques and cultural relics.

Purchasing gold is just a distraction. As long as there are still humans who still use gold as currency, the price of gold will not fall too badly.

Ferdinand was not picky either. He was unaware of the antiques and cultural relics from all over the world.

The economic crisis broke out, and the rare antiques and cultural relics can be sold at this time.

In the face of survival, who cares about antiques and cultural relics?

James, you can see clearly that this is a treasure left over from the Sun Dynasty. How could it be worth five pounds? one person roared.

Will that's enough! I'll offer five pounds, which is already a sky-high price. Go out and find out by yourself. What is the price of antiques on the market at this time?

Is there a higher bid than me? If you have, you sell them! James said impatiently.

Mr. James, you are the only antique shop in this area that is still open. Where can I find out? Will frowned.

It's good to know, now is the economic crisis period, antiques are not worth much at all, whether I can find buyers for these goods is a problem?

Besides, you are still an antique left over from the Sun Dynasty, and the value of these things in England has never been high.

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, I didn't sell it for three hundred pounds, so why is it worth one hundred pounds at this time? Will bargained again.

You also know that this is a period of economic crisis? Why don't you grab a hundred pounds? If it's a scepter left over from the Roman Empire, it's almost the same!

Now the most I can give you is £7, which is already a high price. You have to understand that the current market conditions cannot be compared with normal times. If you want to sell at a high price, just wait until the economic crisis is over! James said indifferently.

In the past month or so, he has received more antiques than in the past few years, one more and one less, he really doesn't care anymore.

Originally, in this economic crisis, he also suffered heavy losses, owed a whole lot of debt, and was about to go bankrupt.

A former old customer contacted him and bought all his antiques at the price of cabbage at once, so that he can pay back the interest and not go bankrupt immediately!

Later he knew that someone was buying antiques, and he wanted as much as he had. James is not stupid, he knows that there must be big shots buying the bottom.

At this time, as long as you can take a break, not only can you pay off your debts, but you can also make a lot of money.

Anyway, the water in the antique industry is very deep. After more than 30 years of experience in this industry, James has long been a genius.

Due to the relationship of advanced consumption, the British people basically have a lot of debt. When the economy is doing well, they have wages to pay off the debt, so it is not a big problem.

Once the economic crisis broke out and the unemployment wave came, everyone would have no money to repay the loan at this time.

Not only that, many people can't even maintain their livelihoods. In order to survive, they can only rely on selling assets at a low price to support them.

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

Fifty pounds, it can't be lower! If it is lower, I would rather destroy it! Will said nervously

Ten pounds, you can do whatever you like. If it exceeds this price, I will lose money. Antiques from this period are worthless!

James once again emphasized that antiques are worthless. This is the most common and practical tactic he adopts.

From the moment Will walked into his store, James has been instilling in him that antiques are not worth much in the economic crisis, and he keeps lowering the bottom price in his heart.

Mr. James, it's really not good. The price is too low. We are old neighbors. We have lived on this street for so long. You must help me this time!

Now I am unemployed, my spouse is unemployed, I have 3 kids to support, now we need a sum of money to survive, please God bless you! Will said excitedly.

Well, who told me that I am a good man, for the sake of our neighbors for many years, I will give you another five pounds, and I will consider this business for nothing.

Save this money, it should be enough for you to last for more than three months.

During this time, you should be able to find a new job, all this will pass, the future will be better, may God bless you! James said piously.

Obviously, James is very good at observing words and expressions. He found that Will was about to have a nervous breakdown, and he couldn't be stimulated at this time.

A person who is going to have a nervous breakdown must be given a life-saving straw, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

James is a businessman. He knows the principle of accepting as soon as he sees a deal. First, he draws a big pie for Will so that he can see the hope of the future.

Even if he has a mental breakdown in the future, if he wants to explode back into society, he will go to someone else instead of letting him collapse right now.

This might not be the case, the collapsed Will shot him down directly, and there are not a few guns in the British folk these days.

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

As early as 1688, the Bill of Rights stipulated that:

All subjects who are Protestants may, for the sake of defense, consider the situation and prepare weapons within the scope permitted by law.

The public can hold their hands, so European and American government officials are in high-risk jobs. If they want to unscrupulously squeeze and exploit, it will kill people.

The death rate of the president of the United States is as high as 20%, which is more dangerous than going to the battlefield.

The capitalists' oppression of workers is far less terrifying than in textbooks, unless they are not afraid of being blacked out.

Thank you Mr. James! Will said excitedly

You're welcome, stay with your family well, as long as you are still there, everything can start all over again! James comforted

...

After sending Will away, James' nervous mood slowly relaxed. The business of taking advantage of the fire is indeed very profitable, but it is also dangerous!

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

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

In today's London, there are so many crimes, it is overwhelming.

Even the legendary hero Robin Hood was revived. Under his banner, some people started to rob the rich and give to the poor in an organized way. They all wore masks and robbed banks everywhere.

After each robbery, they would throw a large amount of cash on the ground for the public to pick up. They only took a hundred pounds each for each operation.

So far, the gang has robbed more than 30 bank outlets, but the police still haven't caught them.

Every time the British police are dispatched, countless British people cover their evacuation, which is almost like a hero.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the police do not work hard. Like most people, many police officers agree with their actions in their hearts.

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

In the tabloid newspapers, these organizations became heroes, attracted a group of Grand Thieves 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, Vienna, etc., have successively appeared Robin Hood.

Ferdinand, the instigator, can guarantee that none of this has anything to do with him. At most, he just guided and promoted the heroism of Robin Hood.

As a person with vested interests, how could he advocate robbing the rich and helping the poor? Isn't this against yourself?

These are all caused by their self-taught and distorted talent tree!

However, the Bulgarian film company has new shooting materials. The project of Robin Hood has been quickly established, and many film companies have launched films of this theme.

If nothing else, this is still a series of movies. It seems that any city where Robin Hood has appeared can make a movie. The villain is of course the governments of various countries.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with Bulgaria. If they are not black, they are sorry for the audience. Movies based on realistic themes are the most resonant in this era.

Of course, the protagonist doesn’t have to be called Robin Hood. Zhou Binhan and Li Binhan are fine, just change the name. Otherwise, if a bunch of Robin Hoods come out, how will the copyright be calculated?

box office? In this era, as long as the domestic box office is high enough, Europe and the United States can only sell three melons and two dates. It doesn’t matter even if some countries are banned. The main channel of communication in this era is piracy.

Pirates don't care about the government's decrees. After this incident, it is estimated that the number of countries learning from Bulgaria will increase a lot.

The generation that has just been hurt by the stock market disaster will probably still remember it vividly. 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. This kind of thing is not uncommon in continental Europe.

It's just that I can't hold on every time, as long as the economy returns to normal, and with the efforts of the capitalists, the stock market will soon open again.

...

London

As the place where Robin Hood the Thief first appeared, the MacDonald government was Alexander. Such a rampant criminal gang has not been caught until now. Doesn't this mean that they are incompetent?

The capitalists are putting more and more pressure on the government, especially the interest groups whose interests have been damaged under the government's new economy, and they are already planning to overthrow the cabinet.

It's just that at this time, it is still a mess. No politician wants to take over at this time, otherwise the government's impeachment case has already entered the Congress for a vote.

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

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

It can only be said that the interests are touching. The capitalists who supported the Labor Party behind the scenes abandoned MacDonald. The Labor Party will naturally break with him. Otherwise, how can the funder not explain it?

Less, when will these thieves be caught? Prime Minister MacDonald asked with a frown

Your Excellency Prime Minister, I can't answer this question. Although these robberies seem to be committed by a group of people, according to the police's on-site investigation, this is not the case!

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

Since there was no exchange of fire, their actual combat capabilities are still unknown.

In the next few cases, the modus operandi was more amateurish, but their marksmanship was very good, and when they fought against the bank security personnel, they showed high military quality, just like soldiers.

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

And when they evacuated, they were a little flustered. If there were no London citizens who deliberately obstructed the police's actions and covered their retreat, they would have been 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 catch them all! Secretary of State Rice said with a wry smile.

Don't worry about so much, as much as you can catch, life or death, we need to give an explanation to the bankers! MacDonald thought for a while and said

It is very difficult to investigate a case in this era, and this is not an ordinary case. Even if the real culprit is found, as long as it is not stolen, they can also find evidence of their absence. At this time, there are too many people in London who are willing to testify for them. too much!

At that time, it is really troublesome. If you don't deal with it, you can't give the capitalists an explanation. If you want to deal with it, you can't convict them at all.

Who told these robbers to do a business of robbing the rich and giving to the poor?

In the eyes of ordinary people, they don't see any harm in doing so, and many teenagers in the UK now regard them as hero worship.

Your Excellency, we have actually captured a batch of Robin Hoods and are queuing up for trial in court!

They can all be scapegoats if need be? Secretary of State Rice suggested

No, it is impossible to satisfy the capitalists by doing this, the most important thing is to keep the Robin Hood gang from committing crimes, so that this matter can end!

Otherwise, no matter how many scapegoats there are, but the robbery is still going on, do you think they will be satisfied? McDonald said with a wry smile.

In fact, even if all the murderers are caught now, the capitalists will not be satisfied. Unless they can find a way to end the economic crisis immediately, it will be impossible to keep everyone happy with the government.

If he hadn't signed the Special Industry Protection Law before, allowing the consortium to treat them as their own, they would be even more stressed now.

The strength of ordinary capitalists and consortiums is not at the same level. Most of the banks that have been robbed now belong to consortiums.

Because the cooperation was very pleasant last time, the consortium believed that Macdonald's cabinet was a friend who could cooperate with him, so they didn't trouble him at this time.

But human affection is the most unreliable thing, especially in the face of interests, it doesn't matter if everyone gives face in the short term, and no one's face will be easy to use after a long time!
