Chapter 969 – Chinese Silver
Vivien Leigh was going to meet Marilyn Monroe, and Allen Wilson, of course, was not going to object, but he had his own business to attend to.
Although the offer to show goodwill to China and bind the United States to sell out Swindle Island had been concluded to be the result of a rejection without a reply.
But there were other things to do, informing the mainland of the British Ambassador to the United Nations, Sir Cassia, about Britain’s openness to Argentina on the Falklands.
And then there was the side trip to get together with two friends, such as future US President Reagan, who was ahead of his time.
None of the above really mattered, what really mattered was hoarding silver, which takes a lot of money. Manipulation of precious metals, need huge capital, otherwise there is no entry qualification.
This is not like Grace and the others, get a few dozen tons of finished poppy shipped to the Americas, but also for the three melons and two dates to get complacent.
American silver party has been strong, and the United States silver reserves are really huge.
And the Americas is the backyard of the United States, the world’s top few silver-producing countries are in the Americas, which are in the scope of the Monroe Doctrine. In terms of silver discourse, the United States did have the basis for a silver standard.
This is where the Silver Party has always had in mind the advantage of using silver as a supplement to gold, which would make the value of the dollar stronger, and this is what the Silver Party supporters thought.
Always running to the consulate, naturally, the consulate has a high degree of secrecy, Alan Wilson needs to know exactly, his wife’s group in Australia has no silver mines, together to join in this money-making trip.
Although Vivien Lei in the United States has United States film industry and Barbie doll company, but involved in silver this kind of industry, far from having strength, the real big head but also Alan Wilson himself can mobilize the power.
“In Queensland, Australia, was found last year, but you once said, found minerals will directly take the mining rights, but confidentiality is not in a hurry to mine, is still in the closure.”
Taking his wife’s call back, Alan Wilson instantly had a bottom line, the Cannington silver mine is a famous silver mine. Australia is hardly short of any minerals, whether it be coal and iron, oil, which are most important to industry, or precious metals, which are of great value, almost everything is available.
But God is fair, the whole of Australia can use the water resources even to cope with agriculture, not to mention industrial water consumption is even greater, sitting on all the easy to mine minerals, and the reserves of Australia, and ultimately have to choose to sell mines, any industrialization efforts are not as easy as selling mines.
The Cannington Silver Mine is the highest quality silver mine in the world, and like all minerals in Australia, it’s pretty much an open pit mine that can be dug directly eight to ten meters underground.
“Mine it now!” Alan Wilson asked about the silver mine and immediately replied to his wife on the telegram.
Now the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there is an immature idea circling in his mind, known silver in the next two years will usher in an opportunity to skyrocket, even if there is another possibility that Kennedy did not come to power, silver will not have the possibility of plummeting.
Very much in line with the generalization of a sure thing, joining this feast of picking up money is inevitable. But he had to do it without revealing the source of the silver. Australia is vast and sparsely populated, and it shouldn’t be difficult to think of ways to simply keep it secret.
But can not expose the location of the Cannington silver mine, can not turn silver out of thin air, right? Less than a few hundred tons of the stuff, once it enters the market is impossible not to be discovered, there must be a source.
“Where MI6 can’t ask for proof, the CIA shouldn’t be able to confirm it either? Then the origin of the silver had better be inside the Iron Curtain.” Alan Wilson figured out this point and already had a whole set of schemes in his mind.
China was actually also a silver-producing powerhouse, provided of course that it was a silver-producing powerhouse in the industrial age. And Australia is just the opposite, China’s various minerals of course there is no shortage, but are buried deep mining is not easy, not enough purity, and Australia’s various open pit minerals are different.
Where silver was produced in China during the agricultural era, just look at the maps of a few ethnic minorities that have a tradition of carrying silverware. During the agricultural era, China not only lacked silver, but also copper, which was the least precious metal China had to choose from.
Decades later China has always been the silver-producing countries in the top three, but the silver produced is the companion of other minerals, by the way, was refined, this companion of the by-products of the minerals, so that China more than a water of silver-producing countries.
So it was decided, then, that there was no such thing as a Cannington silver mine, there was only Chinese silver, and in a year or so if Kennedy came to power, which happened to be a special time period, it would make sense for the silver to come from China.
Making molds is no difficulty for Allen Wilson, he can completely borrow the relevant talent on Fraud Island, something is Changgong, nothing is peanuts and peanuts, alone on this matter, can be Changgong.
Do not even need to use the people of the gun party, the Mountbatten Group sells oil refining equipment, want some Chinese silver specification molds, this condition should not be too much, at least he thinks it is not too much.
Since there was no possibility of losing money, in the spirit of equalizing benefits, Allen Wilson performed the Great Summoning Technique, and Boris, the administrator of the Newfoundland Crown Dependency Foundation, landed in Los Angeles a day later.
Boris and when Allen Wilson once built to the time of the embarrassment compared to, has been a different person, all over the body is the air of a successful person, I do not know that the one exposed toes of the leather shoes lost did not, will stay in the memory of the bitter sweet.
“Governor Allen.” Having just met, Boris opened his mouth to greet him with an old term of endearment.
Allen Wilson froze when he heard the governor’s title, then shook his head and laughed bitterly, “Didn’t I say so? This what’s-it-governor’s appointment was an appointment that Whitehall tricked me with at the time, not an official position.”
At the time, the British government generally believed that Newfoundland was a mess and was still burdened with a huge debt. The big idea was for Newfoundland and Canada to merge in a hurry, for fear of cheapening the United States if it dragged on.
Alan Wilson’s arrival in office came with top thunder, and unsurprisingly would return to Whitehall to accept a job offer, as did his father-in-law, with the face of Newfoundland’s last administrator.
By a great stroke of luck, he discovered that Newfoundland’s greatest number of supporters were a group independent of the U.S. and Canada, and then began the Summer Bur operation, which turned out to be a good one, paying off the debt and leaving office.
Now Newfoundland after a decade or so, to be modest, is so much richer than Canada and the United States. The United States per capita two thousand nine, Canada per capita two thousand two, Newfoundland per capita three thousand five.
This reality is more so that Newfoundland has the bottom of the pursuit of autonomy, who do not want to be superior.
“Look at your glowing look, Newfoundland in this Sweden World Cup, certainly earned a lot.” Alan Wilson spoke very gently, “But seeing the place where I served before, having today’s affluent life, it is indeed nostalgic. By the way, there is one thing to remind, so that you have a mental preparation, the Cayman Islands and the Virgin Islands are also going to be built with the purpose of an offshore financial center.”
“Governor, this?” Boris was quite serious at the sound of it, he definitely didn’t like the news, who wants competitors to appear?
“Don’t be anxious, there are still all the differences, for example, the current two islands only offer private yachts and private airplanes to be attached to the business, just like the company attached to Newfoundland, only management fees.” Alan Wilson explained without panic, “There are a number of other islands with similar conditions to Newfoundland in the hands of the UK, there has to be a focus, right?”
Just past the World Cup in Sweden, the Newfoundland Crown Territory Bocce netted over forty million dollars.
Don’t underestimate that number, Newfoundland has a population of just under 200,000 people, which equates to each Newfoundlander being equal to an American for a year and a Canadian for over a year of hard work during the World Cup.
“If I, on a personal note, would like the Newfoundland Foundation to take out a sum of money to help out. I don’t know if you’d say no.” After the pleasantries, Alan Wilson went straight to the point and looked at Boris, who was already bird-dogging.
“How much does the Governor want?” Boris immediately replied, “If it’s under 100 million, we fully support it.”
“It’s enough to have this sentence.” Alan Wilson smiled easily, “Don’t worry, the British Empire may not be able to take care of everything on this planet, but the vast majority of things are still manageable. When the time comes, I will use the Foreign Ministry’s channels to contact St. Johns, just wait for the good news.”
Alan Wilson separately held shares in dozens of bought-and-paid-for businesses before going on to become High Commissioner of Malaya before policy support, and he himself couldn’t always remember to please how much those shares were now worth, but the administrator of the Newfoundland Crown Dependency Foundation knew all about it.
Boris was really quite busy, and after the verbal agreement, he went straight back on the Newfoundland Airlines Comet airliner.
The purchase price of an airliner was only two hundred and seventy-five thousand pounds, which was nothing to spend on Newfoundland.
Allen Wilson, on the other hand, directly took out the accompanying small book, wrote down the four words of Chinese silver, to prevent busy and forget.
Marilyn Monroe’s mansion, Vivien Leigh is talking with her friend, at this time she has no yesterday in the upstairs style, then she manipulated her hands behind her back, pasted on the waist and eyes; two legs straight and slightly apart, in this slightly too stiff posture, she still maintains an elegant posture. A gentle expression of confidence and thoughtfulness passed over her face, the expression of a good and imaginative student.
She always kept the same posture; always gazed in the same direction – and that direction was the sea. Not caring, in the least, that this was Marilyn Monroe’s home, but fully engaged in it.
“Vivian, it’s not so strange to come to my place.” Marilyn Monroe meant it, her gaze falling on the man chatting with her housekeeper, “What’s so good about him that you’re so accommodating to him.”
