Chapter 3671 Great Dream
Duran advised Doflamingo to restore his status and not just think about buying status with money, which would cause him to conflict with the base. Moreover, it is difficult to control the policy direction after spending money to become a Celestial Dragon, and it is likely to decline. So the best way is to rebel and establish your own rules of the game.
Doflamingo felt that there were suddenly more roads ahead, and he had the opportunity to surpass the Celestial Dragons. Of course, he was still very calm, knowing that this kind of thing could not be said, and it was difficult to fight against the old order. For now, no one can really shake the position of the navy in the game.
Although everyone knows that the navy is weak, there are still a lot of Baileys in circulation. As long as Baileys can still buy things, the world government will not be so easily defeated.
"If I become the sixth emperor, as long as the world government blocks me, the Baileys in my hands can't buy things. Isn't it over?" Doflamingo also has this problem, that is, there are too many Baileys in his hands.
"At that time, you can unite the five emperors with the Nine Snakes Bank to establish a financial system, and you can launch a currency that competes with Baileys. Isn't it promising in the future?" Duran said.
"But in this way, my market will be much smaller. And the character of the Five Emperors will not allow me to play the game of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Of course, I am very interested in the industries of the Five Emperors. Why not do this? I will not resist the Celestial Dragons and directly invest in the Five Emperors. When they develop certain industries, they will encounter the same difficulties as me. The industry is difficult to upgrade and there are many internal conflicts. At that time, they will inevitably blow bubbles and speculate on real estate and stocks. At that time, the value of assets will rise. I can sell real estate and stocks in exchange for a large amount of funds to withdraw." Doflamingo is not stupid. He will never blindly believe Duran's nagging. He felt that the other party had no good intentions from the beginning.
During this period of financial games, he has found that the difficulties he encountered are universal. It is not because he is a Seven Warlords that he encountered difficulties, but that the Four Emperors will also encounter similar problems-the upper limit of development.
Duran had to sigh that Doflamingo was indeed smart. Sure enough, after losing his identity as a Celestial Dragon, he had to force himself to make progress and improve his level. He also quickly summed up the rules in the new game, that is, development is not as easy as imagined.
It is difficult to transform from agriculture to industry, and it is also difficult to upgrade each industry. The reason why industrial countries are moving away from the real economy to the virtual economy is not because they do not know the importance of the real economy, but because the cost of the real economy is getting higher and higher, and they cannot upgrade the entire industry. Therefore, they can only abandon the industry with higher and higher costs, but there is no new industry to make up for it, so they can only play with finance.
This is a helpless move, especially for small island countries, where the population, area, and energy for development are limited. There will be an upper limit to industrial development, and it is easy to encounter the industrial upper limit, making it even more difficult to upgrade.
Development requires water sources, plains, energy, and high-quality talents. These objective conditions alone are helpless.
Doflamingo has personally experienced the upper limit, and has been observing other islands, and found that most islands have encountered the same problem, even the four emperors.
"The inability to upgrade the industry is not something that the Four Emperors can avoid." Doflamingo said calmly: "So as long as I give them a sum of money, the industry will quickly reach the upper limit, and then they will also move from the real to the virtual, and then I can harvest their value, isn't it beautiful? Such a game can be repeated on the sea, I will become the core of the game, and the Celestial Dragons also need me."
There are many islands, so you can continue to invest, hype, and harvest.
Because each island is limited by its own problems and it is difficult to complete industrial upgrading, Doflamingo can eat all the world with one trick and keep harvesting.
"I have to say, you are very smart. If you are still a Celestial Dragon now, you may not have such an opportunity. You have to thank your parents because they left the Celestial Dragons and brought a wider world." Duran thought that Doflamingo was really a born capitalist, and he immediately understood the core of the financial game.
It is true that finance can promote entities, but entities do not only rely on finance, but also need the cooperation of various guest development conditions. So money cannot go into finance, but should be invested in water conservancy, infrastructure, education, and upgrading industries. But in this way, finance cannot make a big profit.
After all, the money in a society is limited. If you invest it in one place, you will lose it in another place.
It's like a person who has worked for ten years and changed jobs several times. His salary has increased from 3,000 yuan a month to 10,000 yuan a month, but it is difficult for him to move up to the next level when he reaches middle age. But he has also saved 500,000 yuan in the past few years. Will he invest this money in his children's education, open a store for himself, or speculate in stocks?
If he speculates in stocks and is directly trapped, then his savings will be harvested.
The same is true for society. After decades of development, society will accumulate a sum of wealth. Will this wealth be used to build reservoirs, develop infrastructure, or engage in finance? If it is finance, it will be harvested at that time. Because the money that initially promoted social development was foreign capital, foreign capital cannot make much money from building factories, and financial harvesting can make money.
Foreign capital comes in and first controls land, stocks and other resources at a low price. When the industry reaches its peak, everyone's savings are used to speculate in real estate and stocks. Foreign capital sells everything in its hands and withdraws, realizing a harvest. Everyone's decades of savings have become stocks that no one takes over, and nothing can be done.
Doflamingo just wants to be a foreign investor who can invest in the Five Emperors and promote their development. Finally, when they reach the upper limit, the money will enter the financial industry, quickly sell off the financial products that have been prepared, and leave happily. Start somewhere else.
Doing long with one hand and short with the other will definitely make the world surrender in front of you.
Duran also admitted that Doflamingo was really smart, but it was a pity that Luffy was going to the island soon. Luffy's first job was to go straight to the villain. There was nothing to say, just fight.
Doflamingo cannot deny Duran's words, but he cannot deny that his father's choice has indeed made him what he is now. If I were still a Celestial Dragon, I would definitely be carefree and indeed unable to embark on this road to heaven: "Perhaps I should thank them for their momentary stupidity. In return, I will become a new Celestial Dragon above the Celestial Dragons."
"Excellent, you have finally found your dream, a dream greater than becoming a Celestial Dragon. Then you will face the dream destroyer, and you will definitely not be able to handle it at your level. But it doesn't matter. , you have such a dream, you can help the Tianlong people make a lot of money, even if you go to jail, they will get you out in a few days. You will never die, not even the prison can hold you." It is clear that if Doflamingo can make money for the Celestial Dragons, he is an outlaw.
"Yes, as long as my vision can be realized, I can become an outlaw."
"There is another question, that is, what should I do if some islands accept your investment but don't let you harvest it?"
"Then they are not free, and I will crush them with the iron fist of freedom! There must be people on their island who want to suck blood, and I can provoke them." Doflamingo said righteously.
"It's just that you are free and others are not." Duran said with a smile.
"Isn't that what freedom is? How free is Roger, the Pirate King? But the enemies he defeated were not free at all. The so-called freedom is only something that the strong are entitled to enjoy, and the weak are not worthy at all!" Doflamingo said directly : "So the strong have the freedom to harvest the weak, but the weak have no freedom to resist the harvest of the strong."
Freedom was not a good word in the past. When it became popular, it was when the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets defeated France and became arrogant and invincible in the world. Then it began to implement free trade. At that time, the sun never set and the empire was invincible, so of course it was free. But the country defeated by the sun never sets has no freedom at all. It is not social freedom, not moral freedom, nor natural freedom, but the freedom of the strong who respects the strong.
