The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

At the end of 1985, it was winter in Beijing, which happened to be summer in southern Africa, a dry and hot season.

The Cape Town area has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters.

Because it is located in the Southern Hemisphere, December in Cape Town is summer, not winter.

In the scorching weather, Zhu Guangxian, Deng Zhongming, Lu Tonghua and their team were resting in an ordinary building in the Chinese community.

"Damn, these damn white South Africans really don't want to die"

Lu Tonghua, who was wiping his automatic rifle, had a ferocious expression and cursed loudly.

There was a cut on his forehead above his ear, a scar left by a bullet. It was the scar he almost got blown off by a bullet when he was on a mission in South Africa.

Before coming here, he thought that South Africa would be a paradise for mercenaries, but it turned out that he was overthinking, as there were too many desperadoes here.

It is no exaggeration to say that there are so many people rushing to do this, it's simply crazy!
Of course, in comparison, when in South America, Li Chunguang died while performing his mission.

Despite the high compensation, it is impossible to save a life of only 37 years old.

"Stop cursing and save some energy for work."

Zhu Guangxian responded with a smile, and Qin Haichuan on the other side immediately echoed:
"Old Zhu, you don't understand. The white people in southern Africa are so damn stubborn. Next time we meet such people, we should fight them to death. If we don't show our power, others will think we are easy to bully."

"Yes, yes, yes, Lao Zhu, you are very good at commanding battles, but you really don't know how to deal with these white people. You will know the next time you meet them."

Deng Zhongming also complained. It was obvious that everyone hated the white people here.

Southern Africa is a very strange country. Blacks account for 76%, whites account for 10.9%, browns account for 8.9%, and Asians account for 2.6%. This is roughly the distribution.

Most of these white people are descendants of the maritime hegemons of the European Age of Discovery. For example, British Africans make up about 30% of the white population.

Among the remaining 70%, a large portion are descendants of the Netherlands and Federal Germany.

Throughout southern Africa, the middle and high-income classes are mainly white people, who are accustomed to consuming high-quality, high-priced products imported from Europe and the United States. This shows the social status of white people.

Simply put, although these white people are not necessarily gold mine owners, they also occupy a relatively high social status in southern Africa.

The more this happens, the more it proves how hard these white people will work to maintain their social status.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, we must not be soft-hearted when facing any enemy. This is the only time we've dealt with Li Chunguang. It won't happen again."

Zhu Guangxian delivered a summary speech and did not allow everyone to continue discussing the topic.

As time passed, the mission time was up. Zhu Guangxian said goodbye to everyone, and after the team packed up everything, they prepared to set off.

As an ace team that has fought in many battles, Zhu Guangxian has led Deng Zhongming, Lu Tonghua and others and has experienced many battles.

In their view, this battle is not only a contest of life and death, but also a struggle for the redistribution of wealth.

However, Zhu Guangxian and his men never expected that the enemy they faced this time would be so difficult, and they called for support at the first moment.

shameless!
So despicable!

How shameless!
Since 1866, a farmer was digging a well on his land and later discovered that the soil was different from usual and contained a golden substance.

Later, after mining by relevant institutions, it was discovered that this is the gold that everyone loves, and what is even more shocking is that more than half of the world's gold is contained here.

Thus the road to wealth began.

And in the following 100 years, the Rand Central Gold Mine contributed approximately 35,000 tons of gold to the world, which is equivalent to one-third of the world's total gold production in history.

However, since the early 1980s, the annual output of gold mines in southern Africa has been declining.

The decline has been particularly severe in the past one or two years. After all, before the 1980s, gold production in the entire southern Africa had been declining sharply, including the Rand Central Gold Mine.

In addition to the Rand Central Gold Mine, many large and small gold mines are busy seeking more profits due to declining production.

Especially after the Plaza Accord, global gold prices soared rapidly.

Against this backdrop, gold production is still declining, which is a very worrying issue for gold mine owners who are accustomed to a life of luxury.

They are all afraid that the gold mine will run out, so they are all trying to find a solution.

As a result, the gold market in southern Africa as a whole is undergoing a new round of reshuffle.

North America, Great Britain, Moscow and other places also sent forces or supported agents into southern Africa, exacerbating the chaos.

It was precisely because of this background that Zhu Guangxian and his team received the mission to enter southern Africa to carry out the mission.

Instead of protecting Elsden Capital, a Great British financial company, the attack was intended to cripple Robert Lansing, a shareholder in the Rand Central Gold Mine.

Robert Lansing holds eight percent of the shares of Rand Central Gold Mine and is undoubtedly one of the largest shareholders.

Don't underestimate an 8% stake, because for a super gold mine like the Rand Central Gold Mine, every 1% is enough to drive everyone crazy.

In 1970, the annual output of the Rand Central Gold Mine reached one thousand tons.

At the price of around US$35 per ounce at that time, one thousand tons of gold was equivalent to 31.25 million ounces, or US$1.09 billion.

The annual revenue is 1 billion US dollars. Even if the net profit is 500 million US dollars, then 8% is 40 million US dollars.

That was the income in 1970. Today, the price of gold has soared to $785 per ounce.

1985 is about to end, and this year's annual output is about 520 tons.

Five hundred and twenty tons is 16.25 million ounces, or $12.76 billion.

Based on the profit split in half, that would be 6.37 billion US dollars, which is not a small amount.

In other words, Robert Lansing's 8% stake would also earn him $500 million.

Five hundred million U.S. dollars is not a small amount, especially for a place like southern Africa, five hundred million U.S. dollars is a huge sum of money.

However, it is not an easy task to get rid of Robert Lansing, a shareholder.

He has a lot of bodyguards under his command, including many mercenaries.

The team led by Zhu Guangxian is composed of strong players, and with the assistance of modern equipment and weapons, as well as smart strategies, their chances of winning are not small.

Bang bang bang!
When a shooting occurred in a super luxurious manor in a wealthy area of ​​Cape Town, far away in Beijing, Chen Guohua was sitting in his office, chatting with Song Xuyan and others.

To be precise, it was Chen Guohua who took the initiative to call Song Xuyan, Wang Dingzuo and others to his office to discuss this matter.

why?

Because as early as the day of Brenda Mellon's funeral, Chang'e Intelligence suddenly lost surveillance of this place, which attracted Chen Guohua's attention.

Chang'e Intelligence has been closely monitoring the big capitals in North America and paying close attention to their every move.

Otherwise, they would not have suffered such serious losses.

If you want to reap wealth, you must of course strike with precision. Otherwise, no matter how good the strategy is or how big the net is, there will always be fish that slip through the net.

Many big North American capitals came to Brenda Mellon's funeral. Except for the Chicago Consortium, California Consortium, Texas Consortium and a few others that did not participate, the Morgan Consortium, First Citibank Consortium, Cleveland Consortium, Boston Consortium and others all participated.

It is very attractive to see so many big guys gathered together.

Especially after Chang'e Intelligence lost its surveillance and monitoring of Lannister Morgan and his group, a special alarm naturally sounded, forcing Chen Guohua to be vigilant.

Therefore, Chen Guohua had to immediately send a task through Chang'e Intelligence to the Dark Night King team far away in North America, asking them to carry out the relevant tasks urgently.

As long as they can successfully sneak into the villa of the Mellon family's base, they can start the monitoring mission with the concealment of the tiny drone.

It is definitely impossible to dismantle the signal jammer that Eagleborg personally ordered to be installed, not only because of fear of being discovered and causing unnecessary trouble, but also because it is not necessary.

The drone lurks on the top of the villa room for surveillance, and transmits quantum signals to the Nantianmen Space Station in space more than 400 kilometers away.

This signal is then transmitted back to the ground receiver and translated into audio or text.

In this way, Chen Guohua can see in real time what Eagleberg and other big capitalists are trying to do when they get together.

At first, Chen Guohua thought it was just an ordinary conspiracy, but he didn't expect that they would start to carry out targeted revenge.

The first is Wall Street's revenge plan. These financial companies will unite and set up multiple temporary "Avengers" organizations under various names, and then investigate one by one to find out who the real traitor is.

Eagleburg has already made this very clear, and there are probably hundreds of suspects.

But we still need to check them one by one, and it would be best to identify the mastermind behind them.

But this is not easy, so we need to concentrate our efforts on this major task.

The second is the issue of gold and foreign currency trade.

Gold is easy to talk about. After all, in recent years, the largest gold production area is still in southern Africa. Although the production there has declined a lot, the Rand Central Gold Mine alone is enough to beat many gold mines in the world. Because according to estimates, the Rand Central Gold Mine currently has more than 20,000 tons of gold reserves, which is far more than many gold mines.

So Eagleberg and his team decided to do something in southern Africa to recover some of their losses.

The three members of the Rothschild family, Casselskinet, Dupretotrier and Flamingo, refused at first. After all, they were only strong in finance, and using such low-end means was a bit despicable.

But he couldn't resist the persuasion of Lannister Morgan, Eagleborg and others, as well as the law of true fragrance, so he agreed reluctantly.

Including the Rand Central Gold Mine, southern Africa's annual gold production still exceeds 650 tons.

In the history of the original time and space, since the annual output reached a peak of more than one thousand tons in 1970, it has begun to decline.

By 1987, the annual gold production in southern Africa had dropped to 607 tons.

Therefore, at the time of 1958, Southern Africa still had a considerable annual gold income. Combined with diamonds and other minerals, it was definitely a super gold mine.

Driven by such huge profits, even the Rothschild family couldn't help but be tempted.

What's more, they are just following behind the scenes to add fuel to the fire and support the agents' attacks. They don't need to participate in it personally and can still make money, so why not do it?

The third point is about the issue of war profits in the Middle East.

Eagleborg and his group have all set their eyes on this piece of fat meat, because they are now very hungry and must make up for it from other places.

It is difficult for them to recover their losses in the financial market in a short period of time, because the powerful capital hiding in the dark is too cunning and changeable, so Eagleberg and others can only start from other aspects.

There is no doubt that war profits are the fastest way they can think of to make money.

The bulk of this profit actually belongs to the interests of the California and Texas consortiums, but they have not been able to get it in recent years.

It’s just because the gas tank cannon shipped from the East is so cost-effective.

And those moldy weapons, wow, compared to the expensive weapons in North America, it’s really buy one get one free, so those Middle Eastern guys are all very happy.

Therefore, they sold oil to the East, and then bought weapons from the East and continued fighting.

Outsiders do not know how much wealth this wave has.

But to be able to last for so many years, Eagleberg believes that it is definitely not a small fortune.

Since the California consortium can't handle it, don't blame the consortiums in the east for intervening.

The last point is the east.

The rise of the East is unstoppable, which is the consensus of many people.

From 1978 to the present 1985, although it is only a short period of seven or eight years, the speed of economic development in the mainland is astonishingly fast.

Especially their major projects such as the high-speed rail project established in 1980, the Three Gorges Dam hydropower station established this year, and the Sinovac Biotech Company that emerged this year.

So many large-scale projects all illustrate one thing: the mainland is really rich and inhumane!
Since Dongfang is so rich, wouldn’t it be a big loss if we don’t get involved?

Regarding this point, Eagleborg and his group had serious disagreements.

Some people think that this is definitely a trap. No matter how well the mainland economy develops, if they implement some policies from above, it will be a very scary thing for these big capitals.

Especially if their funds are locked, or the money they earn cannot be transferred outside, it would be a huge disaster.

The other part refuted the argument with reason and evidence. After all, after 1978, a lot of external capital entered the mainland to invest in building factories, etc., but they really made money.

Although there are still many industries in the East that have not been opened, the industries that have been opened are enough for capital to make a lot of money.

The discussion between the two parties ended unpleasantly, and each side insisted on its own point of view, so the capital that wanted to invest in the East would not change its mind.

After Chen Guohua learned about the above four points, he immediately called Song Xuyan and others to discuss countermeasures.

In fact, it is very simple. If Eagleberg and others come to the mainland to invest in an upright manner, they will of course be welcomed.

If they want to resort to some tricks, I'm sorry, they will certainly not be welcomed in the mainland.

Some time has passed since we discussed countermeasures, and chaos has already occurred in southern Africa.

Zhu Guangxian and his team were busy taking down Robert Lansing, while Chen Guohua and his team were paying close attention to the situation.

We must grab more shares before Eagleborg and other forces enter southern Africa.

It would be best if a large gold mine like the Rand Central Gold Mine could be completely placed under the control of mainland white glove companies.

This plan was launched when Elsden Capital, a white glove enterprise of the British financial company, entered southern Africa.

In addition to the Rand Central Gold Mine, there are also the Taotona Gold Mine, the Oni Gold Mine, etc., which are all targets of Chen Guohua and others.

At the beginning, both Zhang Jihan and Song Xuyan strongly supported Chen Guohua's plan.

Even other leaders adopted a tacit attitude, and the reason was actually very simple.

Because the usefulness of gold as a metal is unquestionable, whether it is just used as reserve gold or in other aspects.

Take chips for example.

The mainland has reached a very high level in chip technology, and has even developed super black technology such as quantum chips.

However, this year, Sinovac has taken the lead in firing the first shot in the smartphone war.

With the advent of the smartphone era and the rapid development of the Internet, the demand for chips will become more and more urgent.

At the same time, the development of technology will place higher and higher requirements on chips.

The chemical stability of gold can meet the requirements of oxidation and corrosion resistance of the packaging layer. This method is basically used in the era of integrated circuits to protect it from external influences.

In addition to manufacturing integrated circuits, gold also plays a very important role in various other electronic devices.

For example, gold films are often used in metallized packaging, such as electrode materials in nanobatteries and microbatteries.

These detailed technical applications are very common in Zhenhua Research Institute.

Because gold is very stable, it can protect the internal structure of the battery from environments such as oxygen and salt, thus protecting the stability and life of the battery.

In addition, in the future field of flexible electronics, gold films are also widely used in the manufacture of flexible electronic devices.

In addition, metal films made of gold also play a big role in flexible sensors and displays, because gold's toughness, conductivity, electrical and chemical properties make it an ideal choice for flexible electronic devices to improve sensitivity.

In the field of chemistry, gold can play a good catalytic role due to its surface activity and selectivity, and plays an important role in synthesis and clean energy.

Not only that, because of its excellent performance and stability, gold is also commonly used in satellites, medical equipment, electronic devices and other fields.

All in all, although gold mining has caused a huge impact on the earth's ecosystem, land destruction and water pollution, there is no doubt that its impact on human beings is still very large.

Whether it is currency, jewelry, or other applications, humans cannot live without it.

"Now that the team has entered the villa, it probably won't take long to capture Robert Lansing."

Chen Guohua and the others stared at the monitor, chatting occasionally, and seemed quite relaxed.

Needless to say, the importance of gold is huge. Southern Africa is the place with the largest gold production in the world, and the Rand Central Gold Mine accounts for about 90% of the production.

So now when they saw Zhu Guangxian and others taking action directly, Chen Guohua and others did not think that this was bad or cruel.

War has always been like this, whether it is a financial war or a head-on battle like this.

Song Xuyan nodded and said, "Old Chen, if we take down Robert Lansing, we can hide and wait. As for the remaining small shareholders, let them fight each other."

Wang Dingzuo also nodded in agreement, saying that this was how it should be. Otherwise, the agents supported by Eagleberg and others would target Zhu Guangxian and others, or white glove companies such as Elsden Capital.

"Even if there are small shareholders, we must take precautions and not let them take advantage of the situation." Chen Guohua looked away from the monitor and said to Wang Dingzuo:
"Old Wang, if Elsden Capital doesn't have enough weapons and equipment, or needs technical support, ask them to contact us in the mainland at any time."

"If you need any help from our Zhenhua Research Institute, please feel free to ask, Lao Wang."

Wang Dingzuo expressed his understanding of this.

In southern Africa, Zhu Guangxian and his men encountered an attack with powerful firepower. Lu Tonghua, Deng Zhongming, Qin Haichuan and others all looked serious.

"Fuck him, Lao Zhu, should we call for fire support? These damn white people are so cunning."

After hearing Qin Haichuan's words, Zhu Guangxian pondered for a moment, looked at the powerful firepower ahead, and finally nodded.

Without the support of powerful firepower, it would be quite difficult to defeat the tough challenge ahead.

"Robert Lansing, I fuck your ancestors" (End of this chapter)
