s: The update was delayed by nearly 6 hours the day before yesterday, which is so embarrassing.
September 9, 1920, 2761 AD, Oakland, California, USA.
The Zenith Star Consortium is an emerging conglomerate that emerged before the war.
Like the American conglomerates that rose before, this consortium also relied on many new technologies and new products to rise.
At first, their founder and boss Banazarsis made his first pot of gold by relying on the wealth he gained through risk-taking.
Then he relied on his good relationship with China's Xingke Group to become Xingke's exclusive agent in the United States.
Selling ballpoint pens, lighters and MSG has gained a foothold.
Later, he used the high-tech products he mastered to extend his tentacles to various fields such as electronics, chemicals, food and beverages, machinery, automobiles, shipbuilding, smelting, aviation, precision instruments, catering and department stores, film and television production, broadcasting and media, etc., and with astonishing success has developed at a rapid pace.
Later, Banazarsis married the Morgan family, completely established himself in the upper class of the United States, and became one of the top plutocrats in the United States.
Especially during the First World War, this consortium made a huge profit.
At present, the Zentraedi Consortium has become the third largest conglomerate in the United States, second only to Rockefeller and Morgan.
In the Federal Reserve founded in 1913, he held 10% of the shares and became one of the real behind-the-scenes manipulators of the American economy.
Oakland is home to the headquarters of the Zentraedi Star Consortium.
The extremely postmodern Zentraedi Tower is located just north of Lake Merritt in Oakland.
The Zenith Star headquarters building, completed last year, is 60 stories high and has a total height of 267 meters.
As soon as this skyscraper with an extremely sci-fi shape was completed, it surpassed the 57-story Woolworth Building built in 1913 and was 241 meters tall, becoming the tallest building in the United States and a famous landmark in Oakland.
The top three floors of this building are not accessible to the public.
Ordinary elevators only go to the 57th floor, but there are dedicated elevators leading here.
In addition to the offices of Balnazar himself and a few senior personnel of the consortium, these three floors contain some very confidential things, including a long-distance transoceanic radio station.
Balnazar, the controller of the Zentraedi Consortium, was standing in his office looking out.
His office is located on the top floor of the Zenith Star Building.
The south-facing wall of the office is equipped with a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling one-way light-transmitting glass.
When the weather is good, from here you can see the Silicon Valley south of Auckland.
Silicon Valley is now the electronics industry base of the Zentraedi Star Consortium, and the famous Galaxy Electric Company is located there. and Pacific Tobacco Company, located north of Silicon Valley.
Now Galaxy Electric Company has obviously been affected by the gold rush, and the entire factory area is somewhat depressed.
However, as the boss, Balnazar showed no dissatisfaction when he saw this situation.
Instead, he showed a mysterious smile at the corner of his mouth.
In this office of nearly 200 square meters, there is only one guest, Weiss Lando, the head of the Lando Consortium.
Compared to the Zenith Star Consortium, which was like an ancient behemoth, the Lando Consortium was only a medium-sized consortium, mainly focusing on the financial and shipping industries.
But because Lando has strong trading ability and market insight, he also has considerable influence in the upper class society in the United States.
It was he who organized the last rubber crisis.
Many wealthy Americans followed him to shear sheep in Europe.
Made a fortune.
According to Landu himself, "Our Lando company is not considered a consortium, we only serve major consortiums."
"Banazar, our companies such as Galaxy Electric Company, Pacific Tobacco, P&G Daily Chemicals, Neptune Shipbuilding, Yum!
Brands, etc. have all been affected.
One-fifth of the workers have resigned and gone to Africa to pan for gold.
It's really true.
Crazy, tsk tsk” Lando said with a smile while holding a cup of black tea.
"Yes, the effect is really good, exceeding my estimate.
I have underestimated the American people's love for gold."
Balnazar turned around, with a sense of pride in his eyes that his cunning plan had been sold.
"You must have made a lot of money from Lando's voyage."
"Haha, aren't companies like Planet Car and Comet Machine making huge profits?"
Lando took a sip of tea and smiled.

Planet Automobile and Comet Machinery Company are owned by the Zentraedi Star Consortium, and they are making huge profits from this gold rush.
"Haha" the two looked at each other and smiled.
Anyone who knows history knows that during the gold rush, only a handful of lucky people made their fortune by mining gold.
More than 90% of the gold diggers went out on the street.
The easiest and least risky way to make a fortune is not to go gold hunting directly, but to buy peripheral products and services.
For example, if you want to go gold mining, you can't go empty-handed.
You must have gold mining equipment and tools.
Gold mining tools before the last century were very simple, including shovels, picks, chutes, flow boards and gold pans.
You can go there with the "five major gold mining tools".
But now that technology is so advanced and all kinds of advanced instruments, equipment and tools are available, who would be so outdated?
Using these advanced equipment and tools can be at least ten times more efficient than those who use the traditional "five major gold mining tools".
Any fool knows what to choose.
Even though these instruments, equipment and tools are far more than ten times or even dozens of times more expensive than the traditional "five major gold mining items", they are still necessary upfront investments.
In addition, you need food, clothing, shelter, and other basic necessities.
Needless to say, food and clothing are definitely not enough without them.
In the wild, they need to be easy to carry, can be stored for a long time, have high-calorie food, and have strong and wear-resistant clothes.
The wilderness in Africa is not easy to travel, so you need a means of transportation.
An off-road pickup truck with a cargo bucket is definitely a wise choice for you, allowing you to run like the wind in the wild, saving a lot of time and energy.
The matching mobile home allows you to enjoy the warmth of home in the wild.
An off-road pickup truck and a house trailer cost only $999, which is really cheap and affordable.
If you add an additional $599, you can convert the house trailer into a multi-purpose model that can be used not only for people to live in but also as a gold mining workshop.
So you can drag your gold mining factory around Africa.
Oh, there are more advanced ones It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive.
We also have cheap vehicles.
Look, a high-power off-road motorcycle that’s only $299 and guaranteed to make you feel like you’re flying.
It’s no problem if you really want to fly.
The Gold Digger Airship is specially designed for gold digger friends.
It has complete functions and is easy to operate.
Only one ship Let’s talk about “living”.
If you think mobile houses are expensive, you should have a tent.
Then there are weapons, medicines and medical supplies.
Africa is not a peaceful place.
There are savage indigenous black corns, ferocious snakes and beasts everywhere, as well as those damn poisonous insects.
There are no police in the wilderness over there, and hospitals are only found in a few cities.
If you don't want to die, you must have these things.
Finally, there are various service industries.
If you want to go back and forth between the United States and Africa, you have to take a boat.
After you find gold, you have to relax and have fun.
Hanking, Presidential Palace.
"Mr.
Wen, our plan has been successful.
The gold rush in the United States is still on the rise.
Currently, a large number of manpower is being lost, and the production capacity of various industries has dropped significantly.
Excluding the proportion of decline when the war state is lifted, the comprehensive industrial production capacity of the United States last month was compared with the war It dropped by 17% before, and the comprehensive agricultural production capacity dropped by 11%.
Moreover, European countries and Japan are also preparing development plans for Africa,” Gu Xiaolu reported happily.

Although they are an old married couple, Gu Xiaolu still uses the previous title in the workplace.
"Well, very good.
That's what it is.
The gold rush is actually a good thing."
Wen Desi nodded with a smile.
He picked up a report on the table and said, "Look, this is the report to the new territory last month."
The number of immigration applications in one month is higher than that in most of last year.”
Several gold rushes and the introduction of a large number of immigrants in the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries completely changed the demographic structure of the West and gave the West a foundation for development.
Thousands of gold prospectors swelled the population of the sparsely populated American West, and many of the newer towns quickly became cosmopolitan cities.
At the same time, the demand of a large population has prospered the market, which has an important role in promoting local economic development, agricultural expansion, transportation revolution, and industrial and commercial development.
Now Wen Desi is doing the same thing, deliberately releasing some small gold mines in the new territory, and stipulating that local immigrants will be given priority in the trial of gold mining qualifications.
If a gold mine is discovered on his own land, he can do gold mining on his own.
You can also invest the land into those companies and then sit back and collect the money.
These measures immediately attracted a large number of immigrants.
Of course, what is released are relatively scattered small gold mines, and large gold mines must still be controlled by the state.
But even if it is just a small gold mine, it may be useless to the country, but it is extremely attractive to individuals.
Moreover, China in this plane has clear regulations on the acquisition of special items such as natural gold nuggets and natural gemstones.
Such items are not considered mineral veins and belong to the state.
Individuals who find them are treated as unexpected income.
They only need to pay an income tax of 20 on the market price.
An individual's legal property.
Although the ownership of the mineral veins belongs to the state, it can be opened to private individuals and enterprises for operation, as long as they are mined according to the rules and pay resource taxes in accordance with the law.
Various resources have different tax rates.
In order to encourage immigration, the taxes on projects tied to immigration status in the new territory are very low.
With various preferential policies and the media's encouragement, there were many more immigration applications after this gold rush.
Of course, the gold rush caused by Wen Desi was not that simple.
The result of accelerating domestic immigration was nothing more than incidental.
His main target is the United States, with Europe and Japan incidentally.
With Mr.
Wen's integrity, of course he didn't have any good intentions.
In this way, a lot of the energy of the United States will be involved in Africa, which is very beneficial to China.
Let the United States, old Europe and Japan fight in Africa.
They will not only fight each other, but also fight against each other.
Want to fight with the local black corn.
At this time, China can take the opportunity to exert its influence in the Asia-Pacific and Indian Ocean regions.
Of course, the minerals exposed by the American media are all real, as are the gold and diamonds.
European and American white men are not fools, and things made out of nothing will not fool them for long.
It’s just that there may be some discrepancies between the reserves published and those published in the century.
For example, the small numbers have been moved one or two places to the right, or there may be an extra number like “19” at the front.
Well, these are all minor problems.
Science is allowed to make mistakes.
Minerals are buried underground.
It is understandable that there are some errors in surveys or estimates.
What, there are still people who don’t understand that we are deceiving the public, well, the psychotic gunman or the escaped robber will teach him how to behave.
Of course, these are all aimed at ordinary people in the United States.

Of course the U.S. government and large conglomerates know the truth, and Zenithis is not the only scientific expedition team there.
But they are also the main advocates of this gold rush.
Zentraedi does not monopolize the media in the United States, and the US government has not done anything to refute the rumors.
On the contrary, they are still adding fuel to the flames. why Because to the big consortium, that little gold mine is nothing at all.
As mentioned before, they really make money from various peripherals, not the gold mine itself.
The powerful men have no brains, how can they work hard to dig for gold like ordinary people?
On the contrary, it is precisely because of the gold rush that they have more opportunities to make money, and the money they earn here is comparable to those There are far more bitter gold diggers.
Besides, gold and diamonds are valuable only when they are liquid.
It is useless to hold them in your own hands, that is, they must be converted into money first.
Banks and jewelry stores are mostly controlled by chaebols, and gold diggers cannot avoid them if they want to exchange money.
Most of these things will eventually end up in their hands.
As for the U.S. government, it is even more eager for these people to run to Africa.
Their idea is the same as that of the Chinese government.
To digest a new territory, the core population is the key.
How can we develop new territories without enough core population?
The U.S. government also wants to copy this The consortium was naturally happy to fool around with the development of the western region.
In fact, Zenith Star only mentioned this incident a little bit, and the big conglomerates and the US government knew about it and began to actively participate.
It’s not that they don’t know that population loss will lead to a decrease in production capacity, but they believe that the war is over and there is already a lot of production capacity that needs to be stopped or dismantled.
The current production in the United States is completely enough, and there is even some surplus.
Even if it is reduced Some are okay too.
Not to mention that it can reduce social conflicts, so why not do it?
The U.S. government has also seen Africa's rich resources.
They feel that if these things are developed, it will increase national strength even more.
"It's true.
If the three West African states of the United States are really developed, it will be no problem to increase the national strength by one-fifth."
Wen Desi said with a smile: "But this is not easy.
It is just infrastructure construction, tropical They need to spend a lot of energy and time to overcome these two difficulties, not to mention the resistance of the local people."
Mr.
Wen comes from a later generation, and of course he knows very well about the development of Africa.
Until the middle of the 21st century, Africa was still the same as a bird.
Of course, if the United States invested its national power, the effect would definitely be much better, but that would only be calculated over decades.
Don’t forget, that’s more than half the United States.
Will Kewen always give them decades?
But because these prospects are real and the resources are real, even if Americans know that it will take a lot of effort to build, they still have to invest.
This was a conspiracy, or it wasn't even a conspiracy.
Mr.
Wen just gave them a slight push to create some momentum
