Metal Ranger of the Endless Plane

Chapter 357: Confusing gold rumors

After everyone arrived, everyone quickly started to take action. Except for Trevor, as always, he was still frustrated with Mike, and told his players from time to time to be betrayed by him.

However, except for the two of them, Lu Yuan and the chef, one is not interested in this, the other is that they have heard too much that their ears have been cocooned, so after talking for a while, Cui Fu also feels disinterested. That's nonsense.

From the club, Lu Yuan quickly arrived at a tunnel that must be passed on the **** route.

Pulling over and waiting for a while, there was a signal from Leicester to the arrival of the **** convoy.

Said it is a convoy, in fact there are only two **** vehicles. The two cars came to a halt smoothly due to a puncture under the attack of the car studs.

The four people on Lu Yuan hurriedly took out their weapons and surrounded them, dragging the **** out of the car.

At the same time, following the team of drivers with spare tires behind the team, they hurriedly replaced the punctured tires.

After everything was set up, the driver drove the two cars of their team and Mike's team, and drove the escorts who had been dragged off. On Mike's side, together with Lu Yuan, with the leader of the real escorts, they boarded the first **** vehicle.

The documents were prepared by Leicester in advance, and the **** leader was still authentic, so soon everyone successfully entered the United Savings Bank.

However, when the leader of the **** opened the door of the vault, he only used fingerprints and passwords, which made Lu Yuan always feel that the security facilities of the vault were really primitive.

You know that Quanfu Bank and the like have already used iris.

But after watching the **** leader open the vault door, he subconsciously stroked his finger, Lu Yuan felt that where he just pressed his fingerprint, wouldn't it actually be a quick DNA identification with blood?

If this is the case, then this security rating may have to be improved a lot.

But in any case, as long as the leader of the authentic **** is directly taken down, the vault is equipped with a high-level lock, and it does not lose its meaning.

As soon as the vault door opened, Lu Yuan heard Mike's breath stagnating.

In fact, the only thing that catches the eye are some storage warehouses that look like prison cubicles, and the things inside are just boxes.

But the next moment, after the system helped Lu Yuan open his perspective view, he suddenly discovered that the things in those boxes were actually not simple.

Various bearer bonds, antique paintings and calligraphy, sculptures, handicrafts, gems and gold. In short, compared to their appearances like toolboxes piled up randomly, the internal value is a few zeros higher than normal.

Following the bank manager along the corridor for a while, everyone saw the gold in a certain compartment that had been loaded with a metal frame cart.

This time, not only Mike, but also the leader of the **** and the bank manager, were breathing stagnant.

After recovering from the gaffe, the bank manager laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's a pity, we just keep them for those Chinese people!"

Don't say, Lu Yuan really knows the subtext of this sentence.

Since preparing to start with joint savings, Lu Yuan has collected a lot of relevant information, including the main plane of the Federal Reserve.

Of course, it also includes the legend that Zhonghua Xia stored the gold in the Federal Reserve.

As mentioned before, the more than 8,000 tons of gold in the underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is mainly used for gold trading in dozens of countries around the world. Of course, it came after the collapse of the Brutton Woods system.

But at that time, Huaxia did not join that system.

In fact, the country’s annual revenue and expenditure report also explains the country’s gold reserves.

In 2009, the country’s total gold reserves increased from about 600 tons to more than 1,000 tons. The income and expenditure report at the time stated, “Since 2003, 454 tons have been increased gradually through domestic miscellaneous gold purification and domestic market transactions.”

Note that the keywords are all domestic.

However, in 2015, when gold reserves rose again, the report that year wrote, "The channels for my country's gold holdings this time mainly include domestic miscellaneous gold purification, production and storage, and domestic and foreign market transactions."

It can be seen that since then, China has already purchased gold in the international market.

In addition, during this period of time, China has increased its holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds. For the sake of political demand in the United States, it is easy to understand what the U.S. card domestic advocates is "don't worry about China becoming a creditor, they still have a lot of gold in U.S. cards."

In fact, it would be foolish to not deposit gold in the Fed to participate in international trade with the increasing volume of China's economy.

In particular, that part of gold may have been in that warehouse for half a century, but it was moved from Westinghouse to Eastinghouse. It was bought by China Xia from other stock-keeping countries, for example, with U.S. bonds.

Before 2003, China's gold reserves were 600 tons.

Around 2008, it reached 1,045 tons.

In 2015, about 1600 tons

In 2016, it reached more than 1,800 tons.

The increase of so much gold in a short period of time, can't it be obtained by mining a gold mine, right?

It's not that China has no gold mines. In fact, China's gold production has been ranked first in the world for more than a decade. But the gold reserves have been stable, why? Of course, the people are rich and start to buy gold jewelry or something.

Even if only 10% of people own 10 grams of gold jewelry, that is more than 1,300 tons.

However, in fact, for some guys who "get rich first", these tens of thousands of people have a few kilograms or more of gold in their families, which is nothing new.

According to official data, China’s annual gold consumption is about 1,000 tons. According to estimates, folk gold jewelry, commemorative coins, etc., are conservatively estimated to be eight or nine thousand tons.

Combined with the annual gold consumption and the time frame of China's economic take-off, the credibility of this figure should be considered relatively high.

Therefore, it is possible that Huaxia officially doubled its reserves in less than fifteen years. It is said that more than half of it was purchased from the underground vaults of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, not to mention the mere 600 tons in the rumor.

According to Lester's calculations, the two metal carts in front of Lu Yuan weighed about four tons of gold and were worth about 200 million U.S. dollars in total.

Estimated on this basis, 600 tons of gold is only 30 billion U.S. dollars. During the same period, China Xia’s holdings of US Treasury bonds amounted to trillions of dollars.

Compared with the national debt, gold at this point can't even make a fraction of it, it's just a fraction of a fraction. (In 2015, 1.25 trillion.)

Therefore, Lu Yuan would not turn his head and leave just because of the bank manager's words, letting go of the gold in front of him.

Moreover, based on the world situation in 2013, if this batch of gold were really lost under the eyes of the Meka people, it would not have been China that was passive.

If you can waste a mere hundreds of millions of dollars, you will bankrupt the credit card of the United States in advance. I believe that the knowledgeable Chinese people will wake up in their dreams.

At this time, Lu Yuan actually wanted to make the fire bigger.

Seeing that the leader of the **** and Mike pushed the gold to the vault, the leader of the **** followed with the money at the far end of the road, and when he found the opportunity, his arm was slightly raised against a certain wall.

After hearing a confirmation message from a familiar voice in a pocket headset, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but he turned up, humming a little song softly, and walked out behind the two Mikes.

What happened after that was normal at first, and the golden cart was smoothly pushed into the back compartment of the **** vehicle. Everyone bid farewell to the manager of the Big Mouth Bank and drove the **** vehicle to the planned Mischenro area.

However, in the middle of the journey, he got news that Meriweather had learned of this action by Mike and the others and sent someone out to stop Hu.

Mike and Trevor's first reaction was to take out their guns and kill the guys, but Lu Yuan had completely different thoughts in his heart.

You know, there was nothing wrong in the previous actions, how did Meriweather discover it?

From the other escorts controlled by two drivers? This possibility is not unavailable, but why is there no response from the bank?

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan suddenly remembered what Lester said, "Many people are optimistic about this!"

Haha, if there are many of these optimistic people, in fact, some people are going to eat black?

After figuring this out, Lu Yuan didn't worry about it for the time being, and took out his guns to enter the battle-ready state.

But at this time there was news from Leicester that they were going to play with the city lights in Mishenro, so as to buy more time for Lu Yuan.

As a result, everyone temporarily held back their patience and continued to drive peacefully to the destination.

It was also in the downtown area. Meri Weather really didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pond.

In about ten minutes, Lu Yuan arrived at the predetermined location.

After stopping the car, everyone hurriedly put the gold on the high-horsepower muscle car that was prepared and modified in advance. There are a total of four cars, each with a ton, which is not particularly easy for the works of those large-displacement muscle cars at their peak. But fortunately, I can bear it.

At this time, besides the operatives, only the leader of the **** was left with Lu Yuan and the others.

Trevor was the first to react, picking up the shotgun, and trying to get rid of "Old Casey".

But Don’t want to make things so **** and cruel, Mike took out a 12.5 kg standard gold brick from the car and threw it to Old Casey. “Don’t be so nervous, let him be one of us.”

"Hey!" Mike said to Casey again, "Don't leak this out. If we find out, then this whole thing, we will say it was your idea!"

Old Casey also reacted at this time, holding the gold brick worth five to six hundred thousand dollars and nodding quickly, "I understand, I understand! Rest assured, rest assured! I will definitely not say it! We, we are I don’t know anything about being attacked!"

However, Lu Yuan, who was busy moving the gold bricks, didn't believe his words at all.

To know that this matter was investigated afterwards, he was the first to investigate. He had to find a place not under his own name to bury the gold brick, and wait until the wind passed before taking it out.

Before that, the people who were most affected by the loss of gold would definitely pry open his mouth by any means.

Especially, Lu Yuan also found out that the fellow Lester had left here for some time.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan changed his appearance from the beginning because of professional habits. Why can he change his appearance? Lester, who had worked with him, endorsed him.
