Chapter 150 Gold Acquisition

"Eight hundred kilograms? Less than a ton? So cheap?" When Tony heard the price, he was just like Levi, with an unbelievable look on his face. "You really didn't hear it wrong, not eight hundred tons, but eight hundred kilograms?"

For the purchase of the spacecraft, Tony was actually ready to bleed heavily.

Although it was not as exaggerated as eight hundred tons, he was indeed ready to purchase gold by tons.

With the financial resources and influence of the Stark Group, there is still not much pressure to purchase less than ten tons of gold worldwide.

Even if this number has exceeded the gold reserves of many small countries.

Of course, doing so will definitely arouse suspicion from governments of various countries.

However, if he can really buy an interstellar spacecraft, Tony thinks this price is worth it.

Unexpectedly, the price he waited for was such a low price of eight hundred kilograms.

"Absolutely true!" Levi spread his hands and said: "If it is eight tons of gold, according to Sif, it is enough to buy a frigate."

Of course, the frigate Levi said is definitely not the ocean frigate on Earth.

It's a space battleship of about 300 meters.

But buying a battleship is just talk.

Although the price of a space frigate is about eight tons, the premise is that someone will sell it to you.

After all, selling a battleship and buying a small spaceship, even a small combat spaceship, are completely different concepts.

Just like on Earth, it is not difficult for you to buy some ordinary weapons. As long as you have money, you can buy them in those more chaotic countries and regions.

Even some more conventional tanks and armored vehicles are no problem.

But you want to buy more advanced weapons and equipment? That's not something that money can solve.

"But think about it, we used the productivity of the earth to measure the value of a spaceship before, which is a wrong concept in itself!" After hearing Levi's confirmation, Tony was surprised, but he just thought about it for a while and thought of the concept of the problem.

In the final analysis, it is still the productivity gap between the earth and those technologically advanced civilizations in the universe.

Tony and Levi thought that spaceships must be expensive at first, because there are none on Earth.

And the cheapest launch vehicle on Earth costs tens of millions of dollars.

But what is the reality? The status of ordinary small spaceships in the universe is actually similar to that of top luxury cars on Earth.

For ordinary people, it is extremely expensive, but for rich people, it is just so-so.

However, gold, as Tony and Levi inferred, is indeed a hard currency metal in the universe.

In fact, because the population of major civilizations in the universe is larger and the per capita ownership is lower, the actual purchasing power of gold in the universe is higher than that on Earth.

"Yes, it seems that you don't have to bleed a lot." Levi nodded and said.

If it is only 200 kilograms of gold, you can collect it casually, and there is no need to go to a large scale for acquisition.

"No, no, no, it is precisely because the spaceship is cheap that we should increase the intensity of purchasing gold!" However, Tony put forward a completely opposite opinion to Levi.

"You want to... purchase?" Levi was a little surprised at first, but after seeing Tony's face, he suddenly understood.

"That's right. Since the purchasing power of gold is so strong in the universe, we can buy a lot of gold on Earth, and then go to the universe to buy all kinds of technologies that are more advanced than Earth from those neutral forces!!" Tony said excitedly.

For the Earth, which is relatively backward in overall technology, the high purchasing power of gold is obviously a good thing.

Even if you can't buy technology, it's also a good thing to buy more advanced weapons for research or use.

Tony is still very confident in his level. Although the technology in the universe is very advanced, he believes that he can learn to crack it soon, and eventually imitate or even break through related products.

In this way, in the future, when fighting against the Chitauri or other cosmic forces, their alliance will have more confidence, right?

"In this case, I'm afraid we have to change our previous plan. After all, buying gold internationally will definitely attract the attention of governments of various countries. The efforts we made to transfer SHIELD before will be in vain." Hearing Tony's plan, Levi showed a slightly helpless smile.

But he didn't object.

After all, plans are not changing fast.

"What are you afraid of? If I can really buy advanced enough appearance technology, I can completely build a super group that is more advanced and powerful than the current Stark Group, and an extremely powerful Iron Legion! What will SHIELD be then?" Tony said arrogantly.

"Indeed, if that's the case, then do it, I support you!" Levi expressed his support to Tony with great appreciation.

Anyway, since he came to this world, the historical direction of this world is destined to change.

So now it changes a little more, he doesn't care at all.

I just don't know what kind of expression Captain America will have when he wakes up and sees the new world with greater changes.

And when the Chitauri come to Earth, they find that they are greeted by an Iron Legion that is more exaggerated than their army. What kind of scene is that?

Levi is quite looking forward to this.

I want to see rivers of blood!!!

…………

After making the decision, Tony quickly took action.

Of course, the initial action would not be very big.

He just sent company representatives to various gold producing areas to sign a series of gold purchase contracts.

And they were all long-term contracts with not very large numbers.

The external publicity was just that Stark Group wanted to expand its business and prepare to enter the jewelry industry.

After all, if the crazy purchase of gold at the beginning would only quickly raise the gold price, which would not be conducive to Stark Group's acquisition of gold, and would also cause a crazy increase in the acquisition cost.

Anyway, there is still a lot of time before the purchase of the first spaceship.

After all, unlike before, Sif only returned to Asgard to report, so she came back with gifts in just three days.

This time, Sif went to buy a spaceship, and she had to contact the cosmic broker first, and then the predator took the order. In addition, after the spaceship was purchased, the alliance also needed to be familiar with the spaceship and learn how to drive the spaceship.

The time required during this period would definitely not be short.

It might take one or two years before the real departure to the universe.

So Stark Group has enough time to slowly purchase enough gold.
