Silicon Valley

After the meeting, the news spread immediately, and countries around the world caused a sensation.

If all African countries join the "Weiyuan" system, will they become another "EU"?

Europe and the United States do not want a strong alliance to be born! As a result, they have extended their olive branches to African countries, and are ready to provide them with loans.

Some African countries are overjoyed, thinking that American dad finally knows to help themselves!

But at this moment, Wall Street collapsed because of what Henry said!

Henry said at the meeting that the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has not yet reached its most serious time and will last until at least 2009. This remark immediately caused panic on Wall Street, and the stock market plummeted that day.

The leaders of some African countries are astonished. Isn't it the assumption of Henry Williams alone that can actually influence the situation on Wall Street? !

That's right, Henry has this ability!

Although Henry is not on Wall Street, the legend of Henry has been circulating on Wall Street. From the perspective of Wall Street, Warren Buffett is also far inferior to Henry.

On the second day, Citigroup announced its financial situation in the first quarter. After offsetting more than $18 billion in losses, it still had a net loss of $11.24 billion in the first quarter, or a loss of $2.24 per share, causing a global sensation. Immediately afterwards, Merrill Lynch announced its financial situation in the first quarter, losing $3.42 billion!

The U.S. financial market has worsened, and it can't help but plummet wildly.

Seeing that the subprime mortgage crisis is getting worse and worse, how can the United States give money to African countries? What it previously promised is now a blank check. As for the European financial markets, they are naturally not much better.

Henry turned off the TV and said with a chuckle: "Hehe, Egypt, Libya and other countries want to get funds from the United States and Europe have failed!!!"

Four days later, Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank in the United States, fell into a severe financial crisis and announced an application for bankruptcy protection. A more serious financial crisis was coming.

On the same day, Williams Bank of America acquired Merrill Lynch, which was about to go bankrupt.

On April 9, the largest savings and loan bank in the United States, Seattle-based Washington Mutual Corporation, was seized and taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on Thursday local time, becoming the largest bank in the history of the United States to fail!

At this time, the Bush administration formally submitted a bill to rescue the financial system to the US Congress, and the Treasury Department will be authorized to purchase up to $1 trillion in non-performing mortgage assets. However, the U.S. House of Representatives rejected the $1 trillion rescue plan, which led to a sharp drop in U.S. stocks. The Dow plunged by 777 points, the largest point drop in history, with a single-day drop of 7% and the largest since the global stock market crash in 1987. Decline. Market confidence is weak, the Dow continues to sink, and the 10,000-point mark is at stake.

At this moment, the leaders of African countries once again came to the Williams Capitol.

Henry looked at everyone with great energy, with a gentle smile, and said: "Welcome everyone to come, after a week of consideration, you must have already figured it out! Not much nonsense, countries that are willing to join the'Weiyuan' system, yes. Go on stage and sign the agreement now!"

As soon as the voice fell, a large group of people stood up. Henry saw that only the leaders of South Africa, Egypt, and Morocco were still sitting. At this moment, the three of them looked at the others with heavy eyes.

The corners of Henry's mouth rose up, revealing a faint smile. "Hehe, these three nail households are really persistent. In the future, neighboring countries will use Weiyuan. See how long you three countries can persist?"

In less than an hour, the leaders of African countries signed an agreement with Henry and formally joined the "Wei Yuan" system.

During this period, the leaders of South Africa, Egypt, and Morocco could not sit still and left the meeting one after another.

As soon as they left, Henry was discussing matters with others.

First of all, Henry based on the situation of African countries, how much money he loaned to them.

Secondly, the Williams Royal Investment Company will do its best to help them develop, especially in North African countries, which are located in the Sahara Desert, which is very short of water, and the desertification is getting worse and the environment is extremely harsh!

Henry said: "Africa is full of deserts and the environment is harsh. The Williams Empire is willing to buy these deserts and spend a lot of money to transform the desert environment! Which country of you is willing to sell deserts to the Williams Empire?"

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but hesitate.

The harsh environment of the desert cannot survive at all, and the desertification is serious, and the land is being engulfed every day. Solving the desert problem is imminent! Of course, African countries do not have the ability and funds to transform the environment. They can only allow the desert area to become larger and larger, and people's living area is getting smaller and smaller!

If someone wants to buy deserts and is willing to spend money to improve the environment, this is naturally good for many African countries. However, the desert is not completely useless. The desert may be rich in oil, and many large oil fields are found in the desert. If you sell the desert, if you find oil later, you will lose a lot! Although there are Tesla cars now, it is impossible for them to become popular in a short time. As a result, automobiles that currently use petroleum as fuel still occupy the main market. In addition, petroleum has many other functions. It is also a raw material for many chemical industry products, such as solutions, fertilizers, pesticides, and plastics.

Henry looked at the people's hesitation, couldn't help thinking about it, and immediately guessed what they were thinking.

"I know what everyone is worried about. I can sign an agreement with you. If oil is found in the desert, the Williams Empire will only account for 40%, and you will account for 60%, how about it!!!" Henry smiled and said, " The desert environment is harsh and it is not easy to survey. After the desert environment is successfully transformed, the detection will be much easier. Maybe, then a lot of oil will be discovered!"

As soon as Henry finished speaking, some presidents were a little moved.

Henry then continued: "A large-scale transformation of the desert environment, especially the Sahara Desert, will inevitably cost a lot of money! Nowadays, the most popular artificial rainfall mode is actually only artificial precipitation. The amount of rainfall depends on the water in the clouds. The gas content. As the saying goes, clever women cannot cook without rice. If there is not much water vapor in the clouds, can they still be made out of nothing? It happens to be like the Sahara Desert. The cloud gas content above it is very scarce, and there is not much rain when it all falls. In addition, The temperature here is too high, and the water vapor is easily evaporated.

At present, the most effective method is to build pipelines to divert seawater into the desert! And the only effective way at present is to build pipelines to divert seawater into the desert. Traditional agricultural irrigation relies on freshwater resources, but Africa's freshwater resources are inherently poor, so we can only use seawater.

Seawater is inexhaustible~www.readwn.com~ We can irrigate seawater in the desert, and then cultivate heavy salt and seawater-tolerant plants! In this way, it not only solves the desert problem, but also creates economic value and solves the African food problem. It is now known that there are about 1,500 species of halophytes in the world, some of which can be used as food, pasture, and edible oil, and some can be used as raw materials for fiber, chemical industry and medicine. In addition, with the rapid development of cell and genetic engineering technology, plant salt-tolerant genetic engineering breeding is moving towards practical use. The molecular breeding of salt-tolerant varieties of cash crops and field food crops is not far away. The use of genetic engineering to transform halophytes into Bioreactors will also become possible.

Gene Umbrella’s research on cell and genetic engineering technology must be understood by all of you, so I won’t say more. In short, if you agree to sell the desert to the Williams Empire, the desert will become the richest land, and countries will no longer need to import food at high prices from abroad! At the same time, after transforming the desert environment or turning the desert into fertile land, a large number of workers are needed, which undoubtedly solves the employment problem of various countries...

In addition, while building seawater pipelines, the Williams Empire will also invest heavily in building railways along the way. These are bound to bring a huge boost to the economic development of various countries! "

Hearing Henry say so, the people couldn't help nodding their heads, their faces were full of excitement!
