"strangeness!"

America.

Treasury.

The minister looked at the silver market price survey statistics submitted by the secretary in his hand with a confused tone.

"What's weird?"

the secretary asked.

The secretary thought there was a problem with his information.

"It shouldn't be!"

"It shouldn't be!"

Ignoring the secretary's questions, the minister muttered to himself.

He released the news that he was prepared to purchase silver at a price of 65 cents per ounce, totaling US$500 million.

The purpose is to push up the price of silver, causing a large-scale outflow of silver from the base areas of the North China group, forcing them to increase their absorption of U.S. dollars and thus use U.S. dollars as their reserve currency.

In this way, the purpose of indirectly controlling the other party's currency is achieved.

Unless there is enough gold on the other side, this will happen naturally.

But after so long, he has purchased more than $60 million in silver from the market, and a new round of $30 million in purchases has been prepared.

Purchases totaling $100 million.

but!

With the stimulation of such a huge order, the price of silver on the market remains stable, remaining at around fifty-nine cents per ounce.

This is very wrong.

A very simple truth.

Even children understand this.

Purchasing large quantities of a product on the market will inevitably cause an increase in the price of that product.

He spent $100 million and purchased a total of 4,400 tons of silver.

This tonnage is equivalent to the world's silver production last year.

Antique real estate in prosperous times, gold and food in troubled times.

Now is the war era. With the outbreak of world war, the price of silver should have increased. Coupled with his acquisition, it stands to reason that the silver in the market should continue to rise.

Reaching, or even exceeding, sixty-five dollars per ounce.

Because he also spread rumors about the market.

In the next year, US$500 million in silver will be purchased, ultimately bringing silver to 129 cents per ounce.

Although the market cannot fully believe it, and those who play silver business are all old foxes, it should at least give some reaction, such as skyrocketing prices.

but now,
One month has passed, and the market price of silver has increased by five cents.

"Could it be?"

The minister was confused:

"The silver on the market exceeds expectations?"

"And, much, much more than expected?"

This is the only possibility that can explain why, after spending 100 million US dollars, the price of silver on the market is still like a pool of stagnant water, only fluctuating slightly.

"I see."

After understanding his problem, the Finance Minister looked calm.

Data misjudgment.

Very normal phenomenon.

Even though the top economists and data analysts in the United States made this analysis and judgment, before Mr. President reformed the U.S. intelligence system, the United States had big problems with foreign intelligence collection.

Misjudgment of data is common.

But behind him is the United States, the most economically powerful country in the world.
This year, the gross national product of the United States is expected to reach $245 billion, and this is a country that has not yet fully recovered.

As wars continued around the world, a steady stream of international funds poured into America, a steady stream of talent poured into America, and huge orders and markets poured into America.

It is expected that next year, the U.S. economy will fully recover and reach an annual GDP of US$311 billion.

To know.

Other countries in the world,
Japan, Germany, France, Su, Italy, Britain, etc., added up, are only 330 billion US dollars.

Moreover, of the United States' total GDP of 311 billion, industrial output accounts for more than one-third, reaching 120 billion U.S. dollars.

As for the Japanese, including the whole country, including Manchuria and Mongolia, the total industrial production is only 6 billion US dollars. Even if Japan, Germany, France, Su, Italy and Britain are included, the total industrial production is only 130 billion US dollars.

After all, the United States is expected to produce 80 million tons of steel and 200 million tons of oil this year.

All other countries combined cannot catch up.

Who is America’s opponent in this world?
so··

"Next month, continue to purchase $100 million in silver at sixty-five cents."

He would like to see how much silver there is in the world.

"Do not."

After thinking for a while, the Minister of Finance stopped his secretary and continued:

"Raise it to $1.5 billion."

Although America is strong.

But foreign countries cannot ignore it.

For example, the people in North China on the other side of the mainland were actually able to come up with the super drug penicillin, and even several new drugs appeared on the market.

We must find a way to indirectly control their currency, otherwise the other party can unscrupulously use the absolute monopoly of technology to continuously suck the blood of the United States.

"Yes!"

Shortly after the secretary left.

A doctor came in,
He held a bottle of medicine in his hand.

"Minister, it's time for the injection."

said the doctor.

"There are many?"

The minister sounded worried.

Due to the high standard of living, the Minister of Finance has had diabetes for more than ten years.

Insulin injections are always required to control blood sugar.

But in the early 1940s, biopharmaceutical technology was very weak, and insulin could only be extracted from living organisms, such as cow viscera.

It is impure in nature and contains many impurities.

After adding purified water for injection, the liquid looks cloudy.

Moreover, it has many side effects, which can easily lead to unstable blood sugar, frequent allergic and rejection reactions, etc. Itching and blistering are common, after all, it is extracted from the living body.

Also expensive.

But it is still a life-saving drug for many people.

However, all these problems are related to the high-purity crystalline insulin from Taihang Pharmaceutical, which is the level of pharmaceutical technology in the late 1990s and early 21st century.

There are no side effects at all. The effect is very good.

There is no need to worry about any rejection reaction, and it will definitely not cause itching, allergic blistering, etc. all over the body.

Since taking this imported insulin, the minister suddenly felt ten years younger. He no longer suddenly felt dizzy or weak.

It's just that the price is a bit expensive.

One hundred dollars a bottle.

The minister has severe diabetes and needs three injections a day, so he needs three bottles a day.

"There's plenty of medicine."

the doctor answered.

"That's good."

The minister looked at the insulin in the doctor's hand. Although this drug made him better physically and mentally, his frown deepened.

The ban on penicillin has come down.

But to no avail.

In just over a month, imported penicillin has occupied the market of almost all top hospitals in the United States, with more than 2,000 penicillins consumed every day.

And it is still improving rapidly.

no way!
Because of imported high-purity penicillin, the infection rate during surgery has been reduced by 70%, and the recovery rate after infection has been increased by 80%.

There are many wealthy people in the United States, and there are also many diabetics.

Like penicillin, the United States cannot produce this insulin.

I believe those rich people will not mind spending tens of thousands of dollars to buy some imported drugs for their own lives, but in the United States, most patients with diabetes are rich people.

This drug,

It is simply a precise way to harvest the wealth of the rich.

He was jealous.

···
at the same time.

Jinan region.

Ze County.

"Buy 100,000 bottles of penicillin."

A group of British businessmen walked through the Japanese-controlled area and arrived at Ze County.

Attracted by huge interests, the Japanese troops are seriously insufficient, and various pressures from the troops force the Japanese troops to shrink their troops and defend key transportation lines, important prosperous cities, and surrounding radiation areas.

After all, the Japanese still have to use these territories and transportation lines to seize a huge amount of new Hebei Nan coins in circulation, thereby converting them into silver dollars and then into U.S. dollars.

Therefore, now small-scale caravans that do not transport large materials can almost go directly from the concession area to the southern Hebei region.

It's not that the Japanese don't want to blockade us.

But it's because of the powerlessness.

There are not enough troops and too much territory.

This led to a group of British caravans arriving in Ze County, asking for 100,000 bottles of penicillin.

"Tai Ying?"

Near Ze County, according to the person in charge of Dize County, he once studied abroad.

And it's the UK.

so··

Naturally, he didn't have the slightest fondness for Dai Ying.

Who can have a good impression of the exquisite objects in the Daiying Museum and the things Daiying has done in the past hundred years?

"Two thousand five hundred a bottle."

"No price reduction!"

"This is an empire on which the sun never sets!"

"The most powerful country in the world!"

"Reducing prices, isn't this looking down on others?"

He hummed and directly ordered to sell it at the original price.

Although in fact, the current large-scale purchase price of penicillin is 800 yuan per bottle, equivalent to 100 US dollars per bottle, the retail price is still 2,500 yuan, equivalent to 300 US dollars per bottle.

But, the Empire on which the sun never sets, the most powerful empire in the world, naturally needs special treatment, otherwise it will be neglected.

"Yes!"

The subordinate suppressed his laughter and went to make arrangements.

"You need to pay in new Hebei Nan coins, 2,500 yuan per bottle!"

The British caravan had just arrived and didn't know the market conditions yet, so they paid the full amount directly.

After all, although the British Empire has declined and the sun has never set, it has already reached dusk, but its pockets are still very bulging, and you can get full payment as soon as you sell it.

Thirty million of those dollars.

"Happy cooperation!"

The person in charge of the Ze County base area even came to entertain them personally.

"Happy cooperation!"

One hundred thousand bottles of penicillin, which were in short supply on the market, were bought in one go. The British caravan did not doubt that there were others, and they were all smiles.

"May our friendship last forever."

The Ministry of Commerce personnel led by Dai Ying even gave him a hug.

"May our friendship last forever."

The person in charge of Ze County also smiled and hugged.

One hundred thousand bottles of penicillin, the actual cargo was not much, so it was easy to transport. That night, the British caravan took the goods and took the goods to a small road to prepare to return home.

The country urgently needs these 100,000 penicillins.

No matter what!

Purchasing it from the United States costs more than a thousand dollars a bottle.

too expensive!
"You are selling someone. Not only does he give you money, but he also wants to thank you!"

That night, a political commissar from the Zexian base area joked.

"Ha ha····"

The person in charge of the Ze County base suddenly burst into laughter.

It feels so comfortable to have sold the British Empire and have people count the money back to me.

"but··"

"Why not let the news out that they purchased 100,000 bottles of penicillin and were on their way out?"

Then the political commissar said something else.

The person in charge of the Ze County base area was silent for a while, and finally uttered a sentence silently:

"It has to be you..." (End of this chapter)
