Chapter 119 170 Billion Gold (the Big Money Boss Has Spoken, 4 Updates Today, 14,000)

122, 170 billion gold

After JA left, Tang Wen picked up the calculator and started calculating the value of gold this time.

"One ton is equal to 35 273.96194958 ounces. The quantity of this batch of gold is 3012 tons, which is 106245173.392135 ounces. Calculated based on the current gold price of 1680 US dollars per ounce..."

"178491891298.7867 US dollars? Hundreds, millions, hundreds, thousands, trillions, billions, billions, billions..."

"Damn it." Tang Wen couldn't help but jump up when he saw what the calculator had calculated.

"178.4 billion U.S. dollars?" Tang Wen carefully counted twice and found that it was correct, and his breathing began to quicken. This is gold worth 178.4 billion U.S. dollars. Unlike other things, this thing is a currency in any country.

This time it is different from the ones in the temple. Most of the items in the temple are antique gold products. There may be a certain handling fee for selling these items.

But this time is different, this time they are all gold bars from the German army. If all is discounted, Tang Wen is expected to earn at least US$150 billion.

And with so many gold bars, if Tang Wen needs to go long or short gold, it won't be too easy. So Tang Wen doesn't plan to exchange all the gold bars this time, he wants to make good use of them.

You must know that the current global gold reserves are only 35,000 tons, and the United States has about 80 million tons. UBS has more than 6,000 tons.

Tang Wen's 3,000 tons of reserves can already catch up to half of Switzerland's. Although there is still a behemoth like the Federal Reserve, compared to ordinary businessmen, Tang Wen can now be described as extremely wealthy.

For the safety of this batch of gold, Tang Wen asked Zhou Xu to contact Ukraine and purchased four IL-76 transport aircraft at a price of US$100 million each to transport this batch of gold to his "steel castle" in Switzerland.

Ukraine is already crazy poor. There are still more than 60 Il-76s in their warehouse waiting to be sold. The person in charge of aircraft sales even revealed that if Tang Wen can package them, the price can be even lower.

The price tag even states that an Il-76 without an engine is only priced at US$40,000, which is totally the price of scrap metal.

"Damn, are they so poor that they are crazy?" Tang Wen cursed after hearing Zhou Xu's report.

The IL-76 without an engine sells for US$40,000. Only a fool would buy it. Why would you buy it back? As a decoration? Or melt and sell scrap metal?

"Hey, BOSS, you don't know something right now. It's not peaceful there recently. More than two-thirds of our Scarlet Saber Southeast Asia branch's business is to protect the rich people there." JA explained.

Listening to what JA said, Tang Wen immediately understood that it was now 2012, just like the original time and space, and the current little polar bear was not peaceful either. After all, they were the poorest country in Europe.

One here wants to buy and the other is willing to sell. Tang Wen paid 400 million U.S. dollars and got 4 IL-76s. Without saying a word, he grabbed a group of elites and rushed to the place where the treasure map was hidden.

Because of its remote location, ordinary large engineering vehicles cannot enter. Tang Wen had no choice but to buy 40 more Mercedes-Benz heavy-duty trucks and allocate 1 billion US dollars to let them set up a base nearby.

Gu Han hired 800 people for $5 a day to build a temporary runway. In order to prevent them from being lazy, Gu Han hired 20 local people as overseers for $50 a day.

If the project can be completed in one month, each of their supervisors will receive an income of US$10,000, and ordinary workers will receive a bonus of US$500. If not, they will all get out after one month.

There is a lot of obvious enthusiasm that motivates local people to work.

Because there was a need for planes to land and a place to stay, Gu Han was extra serious this time. And in order to protect the safety of the camp, he specially dispatched two Black Hawk helicopters to take charge of security.

Anti-aircraft missiles are also deployed all around because the Scarlet Saber is for hire. The Scarlet Saber needs to pay a resident fee of US$100,000 per year.

Compared with Tang Wen's income, this is simply negligible.

On the other hand, Morgan and Rockefy are also very happy to provide "cheap" aviation fuel. Anyway, part of their oil is developed into aviation fuel.

One IL-76 can carry 40 tons, and Tang Wen's four can transport more than 160 tons of gold each time. 3,000 tons of gold only needs to be flown back and forth 19 times.

The later Il-76 can also be used to transport people with the Scarlet Saber, which is simply the best of both worlds.

On the other side, Tang Wen's steel castle in Switzerland is also being strengthened. This castle is a fortress that Zhou Xu recently helped Tang Wen buy in Kansas City, USA, that can defend against 12,000 tons of nuclear bombs.

This fortress has a total of 15 floors. After Zhou Xu bought it, he helped Tang Wen strengthen the surroundings again, and built the five floors below into Tang Wen's small treasury.

The massive complex extends 200 feet underground to a depth of 15 meters and features 9-foot-tall concrete walls. The shelter draws on natural energy, with wind turbines placed on the building's surface.

In order to prevent accidents, there is a natural circulation system at the bottom. Even if all the equipment at the landmark fails, the equipment below can keep the fort functioning normally for 50 years.

After opening the door, there is an elevator that can carry more than 5 tons. All materials are specially customized. Even the elevator's steel cables cost millions.

It is worth mentioning that the gate is 3 meters thick and weighs 250 tons. The front 2 meters are made of heat-insulating steel, and the back 1 meter is made of radiation-proof aluminum plate.

After Zhou Xu bought it, he increased the strength of the surrounding concrete to 5 meters. There is also a 1-meter heat-proof steel plate and a 30-centimeter-thick radiation-proof aluminum plate.

These items alone cost Tang Wen more than 2.8 billion US dollars.

Including swimming pools, water slides, saunas, climbing walls, shooting ranges, classrooms, libraries, cinemas and bars. The single-story area of ​​the entire fortress exceeds 300 square meters. It is not surprising to say that it is a luxury hotel.

Zhou Xu also worked hard on the surrounding security. He directly bought 15 acres of land around him to be used as the headquarters of the Blood Sabre America, and to ensure the safety of Tang Wen's property.

Tang Wen was very satisfied with Zhou Xu's approach. In this way, not only will the Blood Sabre base have Tang Wen's "nest" but it will also be safer.

The price of this fortress is not expensive, only 100 million US dollars, but the messy reinforcement cost Tang Wen more than 2.8 billion US dollars. This little "small money" on that day was just a drizzle for Tang Wen, who was about to get rich.

After the completion of this doomsday fortress, Tang Wen will gradually transfer the assets in Switzerland here. After all, some things are most reassuring to keep in your own nest.

For Tang Wen's crazy appearance of "making" the doomsday fortress, the American family all snorted and thought that Tang Wen was a person with paranoia.

After a sleepless night, Tang Wen woke up and called Zhou Xu, saying, "Forget it, let's reinforce the base of the treasure map. Don't move the American side for now, and send people to reinforce the Swiss side. After all, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and America is not our territory after all. I am not used to putting all my eggs in one basket."

Tang Wen, who was tossing and turning, decided to set up a small treasury separately. He still understood the principle that eggs should not be put in one basket. After all, there are not many people in Africa who dare to cause trouble for the Bloody Sabre, but America is different.

"Yes, boss, I'll do it right away." Zhou Xu suddenly realized that no matter how good this place is, it is not the territory of the Bloody Sabre. It's okay now, but if they tear their faces apart, it's hard to say.

For the 2.9 billion spent on this movie, Tang Wen will leave a small treasury, and the Bloody Sabre base will continue to be built. Anyway, I have made so much money recently, so I'd rather spend it.

After figuring this out, Tang Wen was still a little excited. As for those Il-76s? Just kidding, the maintenance fee for a year is only a few dollars, and the interest paid by the bank to Tang Wen is more than enough.

On the other hand, Tang Wen also began to prepare to cut another piece of meat from the gold market. After all, the soaring gold is too tempting now. Tang Wen decided to wait for the gold from Africa to arrive and then start to prepare to continue to stretch and cash out part of it.

What did Tang Wen do first after making money? Of course, he spent money. Although the Iron Fortress and the Doomsday Fortress cost Tang Wen about 3 billion US dollars, it was just a drizzle for Tang Wen who earned tens of billions.

So Tang Wen started to spend.

"Lao Zhou, contact DG Group for me. I want to buy Victoria's Secret for 1.5 billion." Tang Wen crossed his legs and hummed a little song and ordered.

"Yes, boss, I will do it right away."

DG Group was so happy that Tang Wen invested 1.5 billion to acquire Victoria's Secret. Although Victoria's Secret is now prosperous on the surface, the senior management knows that its attractiveness has gradually declined.

Why?

The boss is reluctant to spend money, what do you think? Sky-high lingerie has dropped from 20 million to several million today (too much water). Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Victoria's Secret is already struggling to survive.

DG Group couldn't be happier for Tang Wen, the buyer who appeared at this time. The other party did not bargain for the 1.5 billion offer and wanted to sign the contract immediately.

"What the hell? Sold it just like that?" Tang Wen on the other end of the phone looked like he had seen a ghost. DG Group simply sold Victoria's Secret to him?

On that day, the news that WF Group acquired Victoria's Secret for 1.5 billion US dollars spread throughout the United States. At the same time, Tang Wen asked Zhou Xu to spread the word that this year's sky-high lingerie is worth up to 100 million US dollars.

As the news came out, people all over the world went crazy.

They were all curious about what the underwear worth 100 million US dollars would look like, and at the same time, Victoria's Secret angels went crazy. Everyone wanted to be the first billionaire angel.

Victoria's Secret executives who received capital injection from the new boss went completely crazy. The chief designer spent 20 million US dollars to buy the world's number one blood diamond to be used for this new underwear.

In a short time, Victoria's Secret's style instantly improved by several levels.

Zhou Xu took the list of angels provided by Victoria's Secret executives to Tang Wen for review. Because Tang Wen spent 100 million US dollars to create the most luxurious underwear ever, the number of angels registered this year was 4 times more than in the past.

Many retired supermodels sent cooperation invitations one after another.

Looking at this pile of potential cooperation forms, Tang Wen was a little dazzled for a while.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that this Victoria's Secret is really worth buying." Tang Wen smiled in his heart.
