Section 1459 Real Estate
Originally, if there is no such a big hole, it is estimated that the Reagan can still be used after going back to repair it, but now it seems that there is basically no need to use it. Among other things, if the big hole is really repaired, it is estimated that it will be cheaper than building it again. One is even more powerful, and those electronic equipment probably need to be replaced with new ones. Besides, if the repairs continue, will the soldiers on this warship continue to come back? I'm afraid thinking of this scene, one by one will be so scared that they can't find Bei. This is a must. M*m**
The SAS in the distance has never done anything. They never thought that their flash bombs would have such an effect. Originally, they wanted to rush in to do things while taking advantage of the chaos. They didn't expect the buddies in the navy to help them. I'm busy, now I'm done, the task has been overfulfilled, but their goals are not limited to these. According to intelligence, the northern part of the base is the research institute. Damage to all the materials and equipment there is their most important thing this time. The content, otherwise, just kill these octopuses and the people inside will quickly cultivate another piece. This is definitely not the result that the energy group needs. As long as all the equipment is destroyed, they probably Even after five years, it will not develop.
"Sir, I think we don't need to destroy these warships and octopuses. Why don't we directly attack the research institute over there?" The adjutant said when he saw the chaotic port area. Even if he rushed over at this time, there might not be any damage. What a good result, maybe those octopuses will be killed.
"Hehe. I really didn't expect such an unexpected situation this time. After reporting, no one is allowed to enter the port within an hour. We will go a long way to the research institute at the back. As for the front, we will leave it to the Americans. Okay, right, didn’t you say there are hundreds of them, why are only half of them popping up now?” Brigadier General Wang Hai glanced at the front, although the number was already quite a lot, how could he feel so many at this time? Woolen cloth. They should all run out.
The adjutant also felt the strangeness and immediately picked up the communication equipment and sent a message to the responder inside, asking him what was going on, soon there was a message from there, it turned out that these octopuses were not made by a group of people . There is another group, those people are working hard to suppress those octopuses at the moment, and some directly inject them with a large amount of medicine to make them fall asleep, although it may damage the physical skills of these octopuses, but the current The situation is that you have the heart to kill them directly, how can you care about this, if you don’t know the news, you probably have to let them go, now that you know it, you can’t make it so easy for you, Brigadier General Wang Hai is happy Hehe smiled, and checked the training camp over there with his eyes. He waved his hand and let the few people under his command go to work. Anyway, there are still a few flash bombs. If you don't use them, I will be too sorry for you.
The many octopuses in the port also felt that the huge Reagan was blocking their way to rush there. More than a dozen octopuses rushed towards this side quickly. The Reagan was hopeless, but such a ship with ten The 10,000-ton aircraft carrier can still stop them for a while, at least it is impossible for their huge bodies to rush over the Reagan, so they are working hard to turn the entire Reagan into a pile of small pieces of waste, just Those soldiers are not fools, they also know that this time is the only chance. If those big guys are allowed to rush over, they probably won't survive.
So immediately the remaining nuclear submarines and several destroyers released their weapons.
If the hundreds of missiles were alive, they would be depressed. They were made to kill the enemy, but they never thought that one day they would explode in their own homes, and they might even kill their own people. The scene of hundreds of missiles exploding at the same time is absolutely amazing, and it is also mixed with some other weapons. It can be said that the range of hundreds of meters around the Reagan is definitely a hell on earth. Although the giant octopus is very powerful, it is impossible for them to resist such an explosion at the moment. In the infrared telescope, Brigadier General Wang Hai saw a few The octopus's head burst open immediately. The U.S. military's ability is not a joke. As long as they think about it, these creatures are still not enough. It can also be seen from this war that biological and chemical weapons cannot keep up with the heat at this stage. As for the ability of weapons, of course it is not clear to what extent it will develop in the future.
At this moment, I can no longer see the shadow of the Reagan. This most powerful warship at the beginning of this century did not die at the hands of the enemy. On the contrary, it was killed by my own people in its home port. The chilling news is that dozens of planes and thousands of sailors on it sank with him. The loss of the Pacific Fleet this time can be said to be very severe. At least half of the naval power in San Diego is gone.
"Launch the torpedoes with all our strength, and retreat after launching all our torpedoes." The chief of the submarine department gave the final order to his four nuclear submarines. It is impossible for them to save this place. They are also the only troops that can rush out. , those destroyers and frigates are impossible, their role at this moment is to drag these octopuses to buy them time.
The power of dozens of torpedoes can definitely catch up with the hundreds of missiles over there. At this moment, the remaining dozen octopuses have been treated by more than 70 torpedoes. The result is that there is no intact part of their bodies, but they They still have their own abilities, so those destroyers and frigates on the water are their best targets. These warships have already thrown out all the weapons they can use in the fierce shooting just now. It was honestly watching themselves being eaten by these monsters, and they didn't want to, but they had no other choice at the moment.
"God, forgive your sinful child, ****?" A priest knelt on the head of a destroyer. At this moment, 50 meters above him was an octopus' tentacles, which were traveling faster than the speed of sound. When it fell down, there were several soldiers behind him holding guns in their hands and shooting towards it. Not far from them was another destroyer. They still have some weapons, the phalanx above is releasing hundreds of bullets per minute, and there are people from the army on the port not far away, and the 12.7mm machine guns on their Humvees are also vigorously aiming at the above phalanx The tentacle released the bullets, but these were useless, the tentacle fell down according to his speed, he didn't know how he died, because the moment he fell, his liver and gallbladder were broken, and he was scared Dead??? A destroyer simply can't afford such an attack. Those who were smashed to death before are considered lucky. It would be even more difficult for those who did not die after falling into the water, because they had to face more fear.
It's a pity that God can't hear their cry for help at this moment. This guy doesn't know where he is at the moment. At this moment, all they can rely on is to kill themselves quickly. Don't bother them with this doomsday, they can only shout loudly at this moment, so that they don't immerse themselves in such fear, many soldiers pointed their guns at their temples at the last moment, and they It seems that this is the most correct thing at the moment.
Many of them don't understand why the government made this thing out, and it didn't cause much loss to their enemies, but it caused huge losses to their own people, especially now that their entire fleet has lost an aircraft carrier. There are four destroyers, one cruiser, and six frigates. These warships do not count the soldiers on them, but the construction cost has already reached tens of billions of dollars. This is definitely a huge loss for the navy. At this moment, they all want to see The Minister of the Navy or an officer bigger than him directly killed him, so that maybe he would not have agreed to this matter at the beginning, and he would not have died in this so-called home, which was not warm at all. (M_)
It was the same in another training camp when it was destroyed here. The effects of those medicines are obviously not as good as the flash bombs made by the energy group. After more than 50 huge octopuses have joined the ranks, the destruction of this base is certain. Of course, if a nuclear warhead explodes immediately Some problems that are difficult to explain may be explained in the past, but now it depends on how the high-level people think about it.
The Department of the Navy is a branch of the armed forces of the United States of America. Responsible for managing all matters related to maritime military operations. Its responsibilities are: "to equip, train and arm a naval combat force capable of winning wars, deterring invasions, and ensuring freedom of the sea." It consists of seven fleets. About 500,000 active duty or reserve troops, 279 active duty warships and 4,000 aircraft. The U.S. Navy consists of two independent services, the Navy and the Marine Corps, both of which are under the leadership of the U.S. Department of the Navy. The Department of the Navy is one of the three branches of the U.S. Department of Defense. The Department of the Navy is located in the Pentagon, also known as the "Washington Naval Yard", which consists of three central units: the Office of the Secretary of the Navy, the Department of Naval Operations, and the Marine Corps Headquarters. Also, the U.S. Coast Guard is under the leadership of the Navy in wartime.
At this moment, the big bosses of the Ministry of the Navy are standing in the conference room. The seats that belonged to them have been occupied by the joint chief of staff at this moment. The entire military has been discussing here for fifteen minutes. Discussing for fifteen minutes is simply too arbitrary. After all, any decision they make may affect the whole world, but what they need at this moment is time, but God will not give you time. If you discuss for a second longer, you may face That is a loss of tens of millions.
"Gentlemen, I have to tell you that just now our USS Ronald Reagan sank and the octopuses in another training camp started to move. We have to make our decision, if there is no decision yet. Maybe they will continue to harass the people on land. At that time, we may not be able to cover up this matter. The people above have explained it. The most we can do is to expand the matter to the entire base. We cannot let this matter go out of the base. If things develop beyond our control, we will all have to resign." He glanced at the commander of the Pacific Fleet, what he didn't say was that it is certain that all of you will resign this time.
"Sir, I think we should bomb the entire base. If they rush out of the entire base as you said, then there are hundreds of thousands of residents around. We should abandon the tens of thousands of people in the base. People come to guarantee hundreds of thousands of people, sometimes I know it may be cruel to make such a decision, but now I feel that we have to. This is a rational decision." The army commander said. He thought very simply, this is a very cost-effective deal. If you want to control everything and not spread it, you must turn everything inside into ashes, and then it is up to those politicians to say what they say to the outside world, but if those things really rush If it comes out, what about on land? Internal information says that those things can walk on land, and it only takes a few hours to return to the sea. There are nearly a hundred thousand troops around. If they reach land, their own army must stop them. . At that time, the casualties will be even greater, and the army plus the common people will definitely be a fatal casualty.
"No, this is not allowed. Our brave boys are still working hard for this country. We can't just give up on them. They are also family members. They must have the right to survive." According to the army commander He said that he gave up the navy, and the commander of the navy would not agree. He hoped that the surrounding army could go to rescue these navy soldiers. No one would agree with this idea. After all, everyone knows how those beasts do things. Besides, the army's strike capability seems to be inferior to that of the navy. If the Army is adding it, this is not something they can influence.
Just when the two were about to quarrel, a strange face from Washington walked in. He brought the president's order. Legally, the president is the leader of the entire army. His words are of great importance at this time. , but after such a thing happened, there will be a major reorganization of the cabinet this term. Everyone stopped their arguments and came to see what the president meant.
"Generals, the President has ordered dozens of strategic bombers from Anderson Air Force Base to fly to San Diego. You have ten minutes to order the surrounding troops to retreat as far as you can go. The President's bombing range is five kilometers around. There is another piece of news that this guy didn’t say here is that the research institute is already rotten, and some people can see that it was done by people from the energy group. The Skull and Bones people gave this order to make Li Cong suffer this loss, although there are people from the energy group in this room. But at the moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he has no ability to spread the news. It seems that the energy group will also suffer some losses in this bombing, but it is not bad compared with the losses of the Americans.
The range of five kilometers, this fucking means that some people around will also be hurt, this range is not just a problem of military bases, "No, this is an irresponsible decision, I need to call the president , He must terminate this order, there are retired navy officers and soldiers around, they have dedicated their lives to the country, you can’t treat them like this.” The navy commander grabbed the phone on the table, only a few black men behind the guy But the man in the clothes directly blocked the phone. Hasn't this old guy clearly seen the current situation?
"Who are you? Why are you so courageous? Get the hell out of here." The navy commander waved his hand vigorously and looked back at his guards, but what he saw was that his guards had been handed over by the men in black. Subdued, even if you have worked hard for the country and the navy for decades, and now you want to resist the president's order, that is not allowed. The two men in black drove the navy commander out directly. Such a guy who has lost his mind is definitely not suitable for staying here. Everyone understands that this guy may have to pay the price for his impulse, and the least thing is to resign.
"Does anyone have any opinions?" The man from Washington whispered. Although this person may not have any position, his words carry more weight than these people at this moment. Several senior naval officials are still I want to say something, but when I think about the fate of the commander just now, let’s forget it. The death of tens of thousands of soldiers is a loss for me, but it’s better than stepping down. I also need to live, so I can only pray for them .
Three hours later, Li Cong in Philadelphia knew all the facts. The fact is that his troops successfully destroyed everything in the entire octopus army, but less than 2,000 of the 14,000 people in the two SAS teams were bombed After surviving, Li Cong's losses were also extremely heavy, and the navy's reconnaissance force also found two troop carriers on their side. They fired missiles and hit them without hesitation, and they did not announce that Li Cong did this. Yes, so Li Cong couldn't seek justice for his subordinates. Unless he's going to start a whole war.
"What's the matter. Didn't you see Miss Bahrain in the past few days? I think you're a little out of your mind. Why don't I hold a party tonight so that you can have a chance to bring her to your house so you can meet each other, save You are so desperate every day." Qin Youer said unkindly, in fact, Li Cong thought of his more than 10,000 soldiers when he saw what was said on TV about the San Diego incident, which can be said to be the biggest loss for the energy group military. Now, Li Cong's heart is really distressed. He also asked Li Xian if he wanted to form such an army again. Money is not a problem, he has plenty. The most terrible thing is the problem of this talent. The 7,000-member squad of SAS must be selected from at least a hundred thousand ordinary soldiers. This time, it lost so much directly. It is not a troublesome thing to form again. Li Cong's mind was not limited to those male and female issues that Qin Youer was thinking about.
"Hehe, you little girl, what's going on recently, don't you want to talk about that piece of land with others? Have you talked about it?" A few days ago, Qin You'er talked about the piece of land He was just looking for something to say, he could feel what this girl meant to him, but he had always regarded himself as the elder of others, so he wanted to attack the younger generation, besides, Li Cong also had a feeling for this girl. fatherly.
When it comes to business matters, Qin You'er became serious, this girl is better at this point, business is business. Because Li Cong brought some diamonds, this land also has 40% of Li Cong's shares. Originally, Li Cong didn't want to take advantage of this cheap, but just said that he would lend the money to them. Just give it to yourself, who knows that Qin Youer is not happy, and in the end the two parties calculated according to the ratio of June 4th, Li Cong invested 500 million US dollars to occupy 40% of the shares, Qin Youer invested 300 million US dollars and Qin Youer and their Qin The contacts at home here will handle the rest, according to the calculations of their accounting department. The total investment of this community with a total investment of 100 million U.S. dollars may eventually reach about 1.4 billion U.S. dollars in profit. I didn't come because of the Qin family.
"It's really rare. I thought you'd forgotten about that investment. Today I'm going to talk to the landlord about whether you want to go with me." When the question was over, Qin Youer looked at Li Cong with a guilty conscience. I really hope that this guy will follow me. But it was hard to say it out of her mouth, but she didn't know what made her say it anyway, and she herself couldn't figure out why.
"It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so I'll go take a look with you, maybe I can lower the price." Li Cong said with a smile, he didn't understand this at all, so he went to take a look It's also because I'm bored at home all the time. The biggest thing I've come to the United States this time has been resolved. Although I suffered a huge loss, the loss of Skull and Bones is greater than myself. They want to build that octopus again. The base is not a simple matter. The total loss of the Skull and Bones this time will definitely exceed hundreds of billions of dollars. Of course, this is a headache for others and has nothing to do with me.
"Hehe, you are also very concerned, let's go." Qin You'er cheerfully walked out with Li Cong's arm on her arm. The servants at home also felt strange. Miss was not like this before, why? Recently, this person has become so kind since he came here. The older generation in the family are all in the Caribbean. The old housekeeper originally thought this guy was a liar, but this guy called the older generation in the Caribbean. After making a phone call, the reply to him was that he listened to this person in everything. He was a good friend of the master and a family friend. This old butler was also considered an old man in the family. For such a person, it seems that the Qin family still has a lot of secrets.
The piece of land Qin Youer bought is located in the west of Philadelphia. It is surrounded by some desolate land, but the surrounding air is very good. The Qin Group just wants to buy this place and build it into some high-end buildings. In the residential area, you must know that there are still many people who like the living environment in Philadelphia. At that time, tens of millions of houses can definitely be sold.
The entire land is tens of thousands of acres. Li Cong felt that if this land was in Huaxia, it would not be possible to buy it with a zero. This land is really huge, and there is a small river in it. This American land is really cheap. To be honest, Li Cong wanted to spend 100 million U.S. dollars to buy it at this moment. This place is definitely suitable for people to retire. This also shows that the girl Qin Youer's idea is very correct. Other wealthy people in the place where they want to buy must also have the same idea. The previous negotiations have gone through many times, and this time it is enough to reach an agreement on the final price. It's a problem, but the problem is that now a real estate company from Europa has also taken a fancy to this place, so the whole thing has become a little confusing.
The company that competes with Qin Youer is a real estate company in the United States under Glencore International, headquartered in Switzerland. In the past, they did not take this land seriously. Just because a senior official of the Qin Group recently defected to the other side, they also knew some plans of the Qin Group, and they felt that this was a very beneficial plan, so they got involved. Of course, they don't have to carry out this plan. They just want to buy the land to make a profit. They know very well that the Qin Group has already wasted a lot of manpower and material resources on this project. If they get it, they will definitely lose a lot, so they estimate that if they pay more to get the land and sell it to the Qin Group, they can make a profit of between 50 million US dollars and 100 million US dollars. , after all, Qin's profits are also quite a lot.
Glencore International (nalAG), a global commodity trading giant. Founded in 1974 and headquartered in Baar, Switzerland, it is a world-leading producer and operator of commodities.
At present, Glencore's global market operation department has more than 50 offices in more than 40 countries. More than 2,000 employees; Industrial Operations operates 15 factories in 13 countries, employing more than 50,000 people. 2040 turnover of $145 billion. With total assets of US$79.8 billion, the total capital of Glencore shareholders on December 31, 2040 was US$19.6 billion. Glencore has customers all over the world and is involved in a wide range of industries, such as automobiles, real estate, electric power, steel production and food processing.
Glencore also holds stakes in various publicly listed companies, including a 34.5% stake in Switzerland's Xstrata, one of the world's largest mining companies; a 44% stake in Switzerland's mun (39% of voting rights); Naro Resources Co., Ltd. (es) 70.6% interest; Congo (gold) Katanga company (ng) 72.2% interest and France ylex 32.2% interest. In terms of real estate, they can be regarded as a child who has just started, but they have a lot of profits in real estate, with more than one billion US dollars a year. It is to be able to quickly get the 50 million to 100 million US dollars.
Glencore, formerly known as h&.AG, was founded in 1974 by billionaire Mark Rich (h). During the Iran hostage crisis in the late 1970s and 1980s, Mark Rich was accused of illegal crude oil transactions with Iran and tax evasion. He was living in Switzerland at the time of the charges. And never set foot on American soil again. On January 20, 2001, on the last day of his tenure, then US President Clinton announced the pardon of Mark Rich.
According to the New York Times, in 1993 and 1994, Mark Ritchie sold his shares in h&.AG to the company for cash. The company was subsequently renamed to what is now Glencore. Glencore is now mainly owned and operated by Mark Ritchie's former aides, including Glencore's former chief executive Willie Stegholt (tte) and current chief executive Ivan Glasenberg Grid (Ivan Glasenberg).
Although Glencore acts low-key and secretive. But it still often encounters various exposures in the media. In 2005, American radio reported that Glencore had been accused of conducting illegal transactions with South Africa during the apartheid period and Iraq during the former Soviet Union, Iran and Saddam Hussein's regime. In 2005. Investigation of corruption cases in Congo (Republic of China). Glencore was found to be involved in bribery. In a 2005 UN report on the oil-for-food scandal in Iraq. Glencore was also named when it was accused of paying kickbacks to secure Iraqi oil. However, someone recently got the news that although the manager has passed away, his grandson has already started to rise in this company. The newly established real estate department is his grandson's handiwork, and the profits will soon spread to all parts of the group. The front of the department is up.
York Ridge is the person Li Cong and Qin Youer saw when they got off the car. He is the person in charge of the real estate company at the moment. It is also his idea to spend 800 million US dollars to buy this land. He saw Qin Youer A kind of blurred eyes appeared in Youer's eyes, and soon Li Cong stood in front of Qin Youer, the guy's eyes made Li Cong very uncomfortable. I stand in your way and tell you to be a fool, Qin Youer is a little dumbfounded by Li Cong's actions, maybe he doesn't have so many ideas in foreign countries. But she was a lot happier when she knew that Li Cong had this idea.
"Miss Qin, I really didn't expect that we will meet so soon. If Miss Qin is willing to consider my idea, I don't think I need to go in. I don't know Miss Qin...?" This guy also mentioned an idea before, That is, the Qin family still has a piece of land in San Francisco. The price of that piece of land can definitely be sold for 500 million U.S. dollars, but this guy is only willing to pay 450 million U.S. dollars to buy it. To put it bluntly, he just wants to take advantage of this . Fifty million U.S. dollars is not a small amount, and it is impossible for the Qin family to sell that piece of land. If you put it in your hands and develop it yourself, you will earn more than selling the land.
The U.S. real estate market has been hit hard since the financial crisis, but its scale is still huge. The U.S. real estate market has continued to decline since May 2050. The direct reason is the expiration of the preferential policy for house purchases. July is the first day when the policy is completely withdrawn. During the month, there was a sharp drop in transaction volume. From the perspective of sales in July 2050, the US real estate market has fallen to the bottom. But it can be found through comparative analysis. The decline of the real estate market in July was deeper than that of the real estate market during the crisis, and the current July is still in the stage of economic recovery, which shows that the continuous and deep decline of the current round of real estate market may not have the support of macro fundamentals. With the weakening of the policy shock effect, it is unlikely that the U.S. real estate market will experience another deep downturn.
So if you don't develop real estate at this moment, you may lose an excellent opportunity. The several pieces of land originally held by the Qin family also began to appreciate in value at this time, and this guy just took a fancy to this. That's why he wanted to get the land of the Qin family. Qin You'er would not have thought of anything he could think of, so this idea must be impossible, and Qin You'er would not let it become a reality.
"No need, Mr. York, let's go in and have a good talk with Mr. Ram to see if he will accept our conditions. If he is willing to cooperate with you, then I have nothing to do." Qin You'er directly pulled Li Cong and his assistants in, she didn't want to look at this guy more than once, it might make her feel sick, such a rubbish thing.
In fact, Li Cong has some understanding of the real estate market in the United States. After experiencing a straight-line decline from 2047 to 2049 and a low level consolidation in 2049 and 2051, since the beginning of this year, the US real estate market has bottomed out. stable. The latest data shows that as of the end of June this year, the annual rate of existing home sales in the United States was 4.37 million units, which was close to the highest level since the second quarter of 2040. It had reached 4.62 million units in the previous April and May, and the annual rate of new home sales was 35. 10,000 units, a steady rise from 326,000 at the end of 2040 and 339,000 at the end of 2041. Previously, the revised value of 382,000 in May hit a 32-month high. While housing sales are picking up, the housing price index, which is the most concerned by the market, is also showing signs of recovery. The Freddie Mac U.S. house price index rose 4.8% in the second quarter, the largest quarterly increase in eight years, and the national house price index rose 1% in June, the largest increase since November 2046. In the past 12 months through June, home prices rose in 34 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, the best performance since April 2047. It is worth noting that, unlike the situation in 2040, which was boosted by the tax cuts for first-time home buyers, the increase in volume and price, the increase in housing prices has received limited government help. In addition, judging from the key vacancy rate indicator, the supply and demand of the US real estate market are approaching balance. In the second quarter of this year, the vacancy rate of US rental housing fell to 8.6%, the lowest level since the second quarter of 2042, and the vacancy rate of pending housing fell to 2.1%, the lowest level since the second quarter of 2046. From this point of view, the worst period of the US real estate market may have passed. As the core allocation asset in the balance sheet of American households, the performance of real estate directly affects the wealth scale and consumption capacity of households, thereby affecting economic growth. As housing prices recover, the number of homes worth less than the total amount of mortgage loans is expected to decline, foreclosure cases will decrease, the value of real estate loans and derivatives by financial institutions is expected to rebound, and banks' willingness to lend will also increase. On the other hand, it will boost economic growth. The stabilization of the real estate market will serve as a "reassurance" for the recovery of the US economy. It is worth noting that the recovery of the real estate market may even affect the direction of the US general election. For the incumbent president who is in the election campaign, this will become an important boost. Therefore, Li Cong is also very supportive of Qin Youer's plan to use a large sum of money to buy this land.
The owner of this land, Ram Watson, was actually a big loser in the previous financial crisis. Before the financial crisis, this guy had billions of dollars in assets, but at this moment, this guy has nothing but this land. There is nothing left. He has a small house of his own on this land. He didn't think about selling it before. It's just that the children have grown up recently. Those who go to school and those who study should give them some money. Yes, so I thought about selling the land. The price of 100 million US dollars is not bad, but after that York appeared, he told himself that they could pay 20 million US dollars more. This is not a small matter. In the past, I might not have cared much about 20 million dollars, but now I absolutely do. The extra 20 million dollars can even allow me to buy a big house here, so after careful consideration, he today I made an appointment with both of them, just to see which of them had the higher price. The one with the highest price wins, this is a matter of no consideration, everything is for money. (To be continued..)
