Chapter 1432

Frank's innocent words made Tony startled for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Others don't know the amount of this fund, but he is clear in his heart. In order to bring the United States back to life, at the very least, he must be able to double the United States' USD reserves in the Peak period. This number is not small, and it requires almost 10 trillion USD. And what is the concept of 10 trillion USD, I am afraid that many people do not understand.

Let’s put it this way, using the past 2016 as an example. At that time, when United States was the world's hegemon, the world still adopted the USD-based gold standard. At that time, China, as the country with the largest foreign exchange reserves, had about 3 trillion USD in reserves, followed by Japan with 1.2 trillion reserves. This number ranks down, probably to the 30th place in Denmark-64 billion foreign exchange reserves, to barely save the figure of 10 trillion. And Tony wants to get so much capital, it is almost equivalent to doubling the foreign exchange wealth of the entire world.

Of course, this is also an exaggeration. After all, the current USD cannot be compared with the USD back then. But even if it cut half of this value, the rest is still a burden that Tony can't afford.

Be aware that the company with the highest market value in United States today is estimated to have swallowed Oscorp from General Electric and Mobil. Even so, the estimated market value of Osborn is less than one trillion USD. One trillion, even if you include the Stark Group and Nano-Neuron Corporation, plus all the large companies currently on his side in United States, you can only make up three trillion less than 4 trillion at most. The more than one trillion dropped is still a bottomless pit of dissatisfaction. Even if Tony is killed, it is absolutely impossible to spend so much money.

Furthermore, the previous estimate is just an estimate. From a practical point of view, this is simply an impossible thing. Even if it is an alliance, Osborn is also impossible to work hard to support him to such a degree, not to mention other existences that colluded with him for the sake of interests.

So, the pit in front of him is far more than one trillion, but 20,000, 30,000, or even forty to 50,000. It is an astronomical figure that he may not be able to come up with throughout his life.

With Frank’s cleverness, Tony doesn’t believe he doesn’t know what this number is, and he dares to say such things at this time. The only thing Tony dared to think is that this son said to comfort oneself There is a romantic and naive language that belongs to the child.

This is a good thing, he thinks so. So he immediately smiled and said to Frank.

"Well, my little Buddy. Tell me what your thoughts are, let me see, what are you going to do to help me through this difficulty?"

"First of all, I need to know one thing, father. What is the capital you need. Is it something that can be linked to currency, or is it just a synonym for the value of currency?"

Frank asked seriously, and Tony opened his mouth after thinking about his question for a moment.

"If you can really get something, I would prefer it to exist in substance. Resources are the best choice because it is stable. If it's just the currency itself, really, I I am very worried that my enemies will destroy all my actions by hitting the currency in the process of my accumulation."

"Then, what father you want is resources, which can directly interact with currency. The actual product of the link. Are there any other special requirements?"

"Of course, Buddy. If it is oil and metal minerals required by various manufacturing industries, it is best not to have too many. How to say Well, what we lack is not the resources, but the space to allow capital to flow and the market to operate. If possible, I would rather have enough money to consume resources in our market instead of accumulating a lot of resources In the warehouse. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, father. What you mean is that we are not to be a resource-exporting country, but to be a resource-consuming country. To revitalize the market by consuming resources, and to promote the rapid development of the entire United States economy through market activation and upgrading. So what we need is not resources, but luxury goods such as gold, silver and gems that can be directly converted into currency. Is it?"

"Yes, yes. That's what it means. If you can dig out a few gold mountains for me, that would be the best. Of course, if it is a diamond mine or a gem mine and so on, I can accept it too!"

Tony said such a sentence with a joke in mind. He didn't think Frank could do such a thing in mind's eye. But soon, when he heard Frank's answer, the smile on his face was already unconsciously reduced. Because at this time Frank said so.

"This is not a problem, father. I already have a solution."

"For your problem, father, what you need now is a huge amount of directness The resource that is converted into currency. And this resource does not represent a super film, because even if you mobilize the power of the entire country to print banknotes, as long as your currency value is not recognized internationally, you are impossible to achieve your goals. United States' gold standard status It has been lost, and USD is impossible as the main currency for international transactions as it used to be. So this move impossible to print banknotes will work."

"And if it is not banknotes, then it can only be other Among them, as the father you said, gold, silver and the like are the most stable hard currencies. Especially gold, because of the recent frequent disasters in the world, the status of gold Not only did it not fall, but it was slowly rising. Therefore, if we use gold as a means to change the current situation, it is definitely the best way."

"I know father what are you worried about , United States’ current gold reserves are not enough to solve the current problem. Compared with the gap we need, these gold are just a drop in the bucket. But father, what I want to tell you is that this is not a problem at all. Because of me Knowing a technology that can help us solve this problem. That is Ultron's nano-level micro-reconstruction technology, which can help us make gold."

Nano technology, this technology was originally in the hands of Zhou Yi , Then passed to Tony, and finally fell on Ultron, becoming his housekeeper. Even Tony's talent has to admit that Ultron has indeed carried forward this technology, and even developed it to the extreme.

However, even if he had such an understanding in his heart, he still couldn't think that Ultron could do it to such an extent. To make gold, the simple substance of this chemical element gold exists. This almost means that he already has the ability to use nanotechnology to create things out of thin air.

Is this possible? If someone else said something like this, Tony would definitely be sneaked in his heart, and then he would give him a mouthful to make him sober. But if the own son said such a thing, he would not have even the slightest suspicion.

This is because oneself, the son of oneself, knows that although this Little Brat is extraordinarily intelligent and talented, he has not yet reached the point where he can lie to his parents casually. The second reason was that he knew very well in his heart that there might be an indescribable connection between own son and Ultron. His knowledge of Ultron definitely surpassed own. So, when he said that, then it is most likely to become an established fact.

Although he already had such an understanding, Tony still couldn't help but be speechless in the heart if he was really convinced that this was the truth. In order to get an affirmative answer, he even pressed Frank eagerly.

"Buddy, are you sure what you told me is true? Are you sure you didn't talk nonsense to me? Please, this matter is very important, it's really not something that can be said casually."

Frank can understand Tony's current mood, so he doesn't have any opinion on the change in Tony's attitude. As a son, he regards this as as it should be by rights, even with his answer.

"I’m sure, father. Although Ultron has never done anything like this before, but with the technology in his hands and my personal calculations. This is completely possible. Use the closest thing. The elements are transformed in the atomic structure. It only takes a few experiments and we can get gold from sand."

The affirmative answer made Tony's heart tremble. And at the same time of such a tremor, he couldn't help thinking in his heart. The recent international gold price is about 1,300 USD an ounce. According to the depreciation rate of USD and the rise of gold, it is very likely that this number will rise to 1,400, or even 1,500. And if it is calculated like this, he would need to produce more than 3 billion ounces of gold to satisfy his plan to rejuvenate the country without drastic changes in the international gold price.

More than 3 billion ounces, this is almost 90,000 tons of gold. Don’t look at this number when it’s converted to tons, it’s a bit inconspicuous, but compared with other data, it’s an astronomical figure. First of all, you need to know how much gold the United States had in its heyday. This number is more than 8,000 tons, firmly occupying the first place in the world.

Secondly, you need to know how much gold this Earth has mined. The current statistical data is 160,000 tons, which means that if the Stark government dares to make gold with such a great generosity, United States will have more than one third gold reserves in the world.

Is this a good thing? For Tony, this is of course a good thing. As long as he does not put gold into the market at once, he can use the current value of gold to continuously transform the current environment of United States, so that the United States economy has the real possibility of recovery. However, this has a price, and even he, as the President of the United States, cannot afford this price. So at this moment, he couldn't help hesitating and frightened.
