Chapter 1350: Astronomical Numbers, Making Gold Mountains
Tony was taken aback by Frank's innocent words, and then couldn't help laughing.
Others don't know how much this fund is, but he knows it clearly in his heart. If he wants to bring the United States back to life today, at the very least, he must be able to double the U.S. dollar reserves at its peak. This number is not small, and it needs almost ten trillion US dollars. And what is the concept of ten trillion dollars, I am afraid that many people do not understand.
Let's put it this way, take the past 2016 as an example. At that time, the United States was still the hegemon of the world, and the world still adopted the gold standard based on the US dollar. At that time, China, as the country with the largest foreign exchange reserves, had about 3 trillion U.S. dollars in reserves, followed by Japan with 1.2 trillion U.S. dollars in reserves. After this number is ranked, it is probably the 30th Denmark - 64 billion foreign exchange reserves, which can barely save the figure of 10 trillion. And if Tony wants to get so much money, it is almost equivalent to doubling the foreign exchange wealth of the entire world.
Of course, this is also an exaggeration. After all, the current dollar cannot be compared with the dollar at that time. But even if this value is cut in half, the rest is still a burden that Tony cannot bear.
You know, the company with the highest market value in the United States today is estimated to be the Osborne Group that has swallowed General Electric and Mobil. Even so, Osborne's market value is estimated to be less than one trillion US dollars. One trillion, even if you count the Stark Group and Nano Neuron Company, plus all the large companies in the United States who are now on his side, you can only make up three trillion to less than four trillion at most , the remaining more than one trillion yuan is still a bottomless pit that cannot be filled. Even if Tony is killed, it is absolutely impossible to spend so much money.
And then again, the previous estimate was just an estimate. From a practical point of view, this is simply an impossible thing. Even if it is an alliance, it is impossible for Osborn to work so hard to support him, let alone those other existences who colluded with him only for the sake of profit.
Therefore, the pit in front of him is far more than a trillion yuan, but 20,000, 30,000 or even 40,000 to 50,000. It is an astronomical figure that he may not be able to obtain in his whole life.
With Frank's intelligence, Tony didn't believe that he didn't know what the number was, and he dared to say such a thing at this time. The only thing Tony dared to think was that this son said something that belonged to a child in order to comfort himself. The words of romance and innocence.
This is a good thing,
He thinks so. So he immediately smiled and said to Frank.
"Okay, my little man. Tell me what you think, and let me see, what exactly are you going to do to help me through this difficult situation?"
"First I need to know one thing, Dad. What kind of funds do you need? Is it something that can actually be linked to the currency, or is it just a synonym for the value of currency?"
Frank asked seriously, and Tony opened his mouth after thinking about his question for a while.
"If I can really get something, I hope it is a substantial existence. Resources are the best choice because they are stable. If it is just the currency itself, to be honest, I am very worried about my enemies Will sabotage all my moves by hitting currency while I'm accumulating."
"So, Dad, what you want is resources and other real products that can be directly linked to currency. Are there any other special requirements?"
"Of course, buddy. If it's oil and metal minerals needed by various manufacturing industries, it's better not to have too much. How to put it, what we lack is not resources, but the space to allow capital to flow and the market to operate. If possible If so, I'd rather have enough money to spend resources in our market, rather than pile up a lot of resources in the warehouse. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, Dad. What you mean is that we are not going to be a resource-exporting country, but a resource-consuming country. By consuming resources to revitalize the market, through the activation and upgrading of the market, we can drive the entire US economy to fly. development. So what we need is not resources, but luxury goods such as gold, silver and precious stones that can be directly converted into currency, is that right?"
"That's right, that's right. That's what it means. If you can dig out a few gold mountains for me, that would be the best. Of course, if it's diamond mines, gemstone mines, etc., I can also accept it!"
Tony said such a sentence with a joke in mind, and he didn't think Frank could do such a thing in his heart. But soon, when he heard Frank's answer, the smile on his face subsided unknowingly. Because Frank said so at this time.
"It's not a problem, Dad. I've got an idea for a solution."
"For your problem, Dad, what you need now is a huge amount of resources that can be directly converted into currency. And this resource does not represent a piece of land, because even if you mobilize the power of the entire country to print money, as long as the international community does not recognize you You can’t get what you want if you don’t have the value of your currency. The U.S. gold standard is gone, and the U.S. dollar can no longer be used as the main currency for international transactions as it used to be. So printing money is not going to work.”
"And if it's not banknotes, then it can only be other hard currencies. Among them, as you said, gold and silver are the most stable hard currencies. Especially gold, Because of the recent frequent disasters in the world, the status of gold has not only not fallen, but is slowly rising. Therefore, if we use gold as a means to change the current situation, it is definitely the best way.”
"I know what you are worried about, Dad. The current gold reserves in the United States are not enough to solve the current problem. Compared with the gap we need, these golds are just a drop in the bucket. But Dad, what I want to tell you is, This is not a problem at all. Because I know a technology that can help us solve this problem. That is Ultron's nanoscale microscopic transformation technology, which can help us make gold."
Nanotechnology, this technology was first in the hands of Zhou Yi, then passed to Tony, and finally fell to Ultron, becoming his housekeeping skill. Even with Tony's talent, he has to admit that Ultron has indeed carried forward this technology, even to the extreme.
However, even if he already had such an understanding in his heart, he still couldn't imagine that Ultron could do this to such an extent. To make gold, the simple substance of the chemical element gold exists. This almost means that he already has the ability to use nanotechnology to create things out of thin air.
is it possible? If someone else said such a sentence, Tony would definitely sneer in his heart, and then slap him face to face, so that he could wake up properly. But if his son said such things, he would not have even the slightest suspicion.
This is because the son I gave birth to knows that although this little guy is extremely intelligent and talented, he has not yet reached the point where he can lie to his parents casually. The second reason is that he knew very well in his heart that there might be an indescribable connection between his son and Ultron, and his understanding of Ultron was definitely far beyond his own. Therefore, when he said that, then nine times out of ten it could become an established fact.
Although he already had such an understanding, if he was really convinced that this was the truth, Tony still couldn't help but be speechless in his heart. In order to get a positive answer, he even eagerly asked Frank.
"Dude, are you sure what you're telling me is true? Are you sure you're not talking nonsense to me? Come on, this is very important, and it's really not something to talk about."
Frank can understand Tony's current mood, so he doesn't have any opinion on the change of Tony's attitude. As a son, he took it for granted, even with his answer.
"I'm sure, Dad. Although Ultron has never done such a thing, but with the technology in his hands and my personal calculations, this is completely possible. Using the most similar elements in the atomic structure To transform, we only need to experiment a few times, and we can get gold through sand."
The affirmative answer made Tony's heart tremble. While trembling like this, he couldn't help thinking about it in his heart. The recent international gold price is about US$1,300 per ounce. According to the depreciation rate of the US dollar and the increase in gold, it is very likely that this number will rise to 1,400, or even 1,500. And if it is calculated in this way, without drastic changes in the international gold price, he needs to produce more than three billion ounces of gold to meet his plan to revive the country.
More than three billion ounces, this is almost 90,000 tons of gold. Even though this figure is a bit inconspicuous when converted into tons, but compared with other data, it is simply an astronomical figure. First of all, what you need to know is how much gold the United States had at its peak. This figure is more than 8,000 tons, firmly occupying the first place in the world.
And secondly, you need to know how much gold has been mined on this earth. The current statistical data is more than 160,000 tons, which means that if the Stark government dares to make such a large amount of gold, the United States will have more than one-third of the world's gold reserves.
Is this a good thing? For Tony, this is of course a good thing. As long as he does not put gold into the market in one go, he can use the current value of gold to continuously transform the current environment of the United States, so that the American economy can truly recover. However, there is a price, and even as the president of the United States, this price is absolutely unaffordable. So at this moment, he couldn't help hesitating and becoming afraid.
