Chapter 478: Eat it all
The negotiations between the two sides remained deadlocked, and time soon came to February of the following year.
On this day, Ethan was eating hot pot with his family.
In addition to various beef dishes, there were also cucumbers and baby cabbages.
Yes, even in winter, Ethan can now eat fresh vegetables.
The cost was 700,000 Malaysian dollars, building a glass house covering dozens of acres of land, and supporting warming measures.
700,000 Malaysian dollars is roughly equivalent to about 200,000 gold in the past, which means that a piece of cucumber he feeds Nicole now may be equivalent to an ordinary person's weekly salary.
However, for Ethan, this is not a big deal.
He lacks anything now, not money.
Since the establishment of more than a dozen regional banks, the money has been pouring in like a tsunami. If you don't find a way to spend it, you may be drowned.
In fact, it's not just Ethan, but all the nobles who have a share in Maro City are like this.
These people are like Ethan. Every day when they wake up and open their eyes, they start to worry about how to spend their money.
This is not a joke, nor is it Versailles, but a real worry.
Many people may not understand why?
This mainly involves an economic problem and a social problem.
According to an internal report recently released by the Central Reserve Bank.
For all members with a share, every penny they spend on society will eventually return to the members.
The main reason is that the poor cannot keep wealth at all. The money in their hands is at most passed on once, and it will eventually return to the members.
Moreover, for every 1 Malaysian dollar spent on society, after a circle, 1.7 to 4.9 Malaysian dollars will be recovered according to the different shares.
In other words, even if you are a member with the lowest share, as long as you spend the money reasonably on society. (The reasonableness mentioned here does not mean reasonable use, but reasonable price.)
Even if you spend it on eating, drinking and whoring, as long as the price is reasonable, it doesn’t matter.
Therefore, for every member with a share, they are not spending money, but making money, and not only spend money to enjoy, but also can at least return 1.7 times.
So they are really worried, and the money is really hard to spend.
Because the market that Maro City can develop is basically saturated, over-development will only lead to unreasonable prices.
They are in urgent need of a new track.
Fortunately, they found it recently.
First, learn from Ethan to build glass houses and grow off-season vegetables. Not only can they achieve freedom of fresh vegetables in winter, but they can also invest in the market to make a fortune.
Second, follow Ethan to buy high-quality assets in San Fran City.
They don't understand why the various mineral resources in San Fran City suddenly fell to cabbage prices, but they know that Ethan has gone to buy at the bottom.
So many years of experience tell them that as long as they follow Ethan, if Ethan eats meat, he will never let you drink soup.
Therefore, whatever Ethan does, just follow his pace.
As for other things, there is no need to consider them at all.
So, Maro City invested a large amount of hot money in San Fran City and bought a lot.
In less than a month, 30% of the mineral deposits in San Fran City and various supporting resources were bought.
The most interesting thing is that all the money from this big acquisition was actually left in Maro City.
Of course, it was not that everyone was unwilling to pay, but all sellers required that the money be kept in their bank accounts in Maro City, rather than being settled through the Iris Club.
This made everyone laugh even in their dreams, because the money stayed in Maro City, which meant that this big acquisition was actually a reasonable and legal zero-dollar purchase, so everyone became even crazier.
After the acquisition, everyone also learned from Ethan, not producing or operating, but just leaving it there.
At first, everyone didn't understand why, but after seeing the paper currency policy of Saint Fran City, they understood it even if they were pigs.
So everyone calmed down and waited patiently, waiting for the day when the paper currency issued by Duke Asino collapsed.
Ethan was also waiting. He has now acquired two thorium mines, one mithril mine, and three affiliated refining and processing plants.
All of them were bought at a bargain price, and the price was so low that even Ethan himself felt a little embarrassed.
Now as long as Duke Asino's paper currency collapses, he can basically implement magic metal freedom.
In the future, the metals needed for the research and development of the Flame Blast Center will no longer have to depend on others' faces.
However, he was not in a hurry and wanted to delay for about half a year.
Because Duke Asino made a fatal mistake, he thought that only the money in his pocket was his.
But in fact, as long as you occupy the main resources and the dominant position in the economy, no matter who holds the money, it is essentially yours.
Maro City is the best example.
And now is the time when the capital flight from Saint Fran City is the most fierce, so it must not stop.
Ethan wants to completely empty the family assets accumulated by the Sheffield family for hundreds of years.
And Duke Asino seems to have realized this, but he can't stop.
On the one hand, he began to strictly control the outflow of Iris Club's assets with administrative power, and on the other hand, he stepped up negotiations with Maro City, but no matter how hard he tried, it was in vain.
He controlled the outflow of Iris Club's assets, and Iris Club sought cooperation with the Holy Light Church.
The Holy Light Church took away their assets from the Iris Club, and you, Asino, would not dare to control it.
He wanted to negotiate, but Ethan was determined not to give in.
Either you accept the conditions and share some of the soup, or you keep dragging it out like this, and then Saint-Franc City will be completely emptied and everything will start from scratch.
Duke Arsinoe saw that all methods failed, and he became angry.
Nowadays, she delivers things to Ethan's house every two days. At the dinner table, Angelina also took out a gift from Duke Arsinoe.
Ethan felt a headache when he saw it, frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you not to accept it? Why do you still take gifts from others?"
Angelina looked innocent and said: "I didn't confiscate it, your precious daughter took it.
She wouldn't let go of other people's things. When I wanted to give them back, she would cry, and then you would come running.
At that time, did you rush to coax her without asking any questions?
Do you still remember that you blamed me when you took her away? "
When Ethan heard this, he was immediately embarrassed. It turned out that this was the reason why Nicole was making trouble in the morning.
"Okay! It's all my fault. I'll have someone send the gift back later! And don't see those dishonest people in the future."
Hearing this, Angelina didn't say anything. Sofia stopped the dishes and said, "It's easy for you to say. We are all classmates and friends. How can we just say we can't see each other?"
Ethan, what on earth have you been doing lately?
Duke Arsinoe seems to be very anxious about you. He is asking for help everywhere like crazy. Even I am almost annoyed to death.
Ethan, although I don’t know what you are doing, everyone is doing it for the benefit, and there is no need to do things too badly. "
When Ethan heard this, he was not angry but happy. He just wanted to drive Duke Arsinoe to a dead end.
However, when talking to Sophia, he still pretended to listen and nodded seriously.
"What you said makes sense, but you may have some misunderstandings.
I never thought about doing anything right, just because he touched our cheese first.
If we don't teach him a lesson, and others follow suit in the future, then the rules we set will become useless paper. "
With that said, Ethan picked up a piece of cucumber and put it into Nicole's mouth.
Nicole opened her little mouth and said, "Click, click," and ate it up in two or three mouthfuls...
