Chapter 6 Persuasion
"Variants are the inevitable path that humans will embark on in the evolution of the world." Magneto said in a deep voice: "The reason why the general public hates mutants is precisely because they do not understand the specific principles of superpowers.
Ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to hatred. If the chance of mutants appearing increases by several orders of magnitude, then this fear of the unknown will be diluted, and even let go of grudges and accept glorious evolution calmly."
Speaking of this, the rebellious and deep old man lowered his head slightly and said to Li Ang humbly and gentlely: "This is also the reason why I beg you for help on behalf of all mutants."
"Um..." Li Ang tapped the glass in his hand with his fingertips, pondered for a moment, and said, "I am just an ordinary person, and I have no reason or position to participate in this 'evolution' struggle. If you want to convince me, you need more bargaining chips."
Magneto stretched his eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief. Since the other party was not a pure human chauvinist and did not refuse immediately, there was room for mediation and negotiation.
"You also know that my superpower is to control the magnetic field." Magneto flipped his palm, and all the metal utensils in the room were floating in the air. A wisp of fine golden sand penetrated through the closed door crack in the next room, twisting like a snake, climbing up to the coffee table in front of Li Ang.
Gold, the symbol is Au, the atomic mass is 196, the melting point is 1064℃, the boiling point is 2808℃, and the symbol of wealth.
"The bottom of the ocean contains endless gold. As long as I exert my superpowers on the sea, I can find rich ores through extremely weak magnetic field changes. Then through magnetic field manipulation, I can easily loot several tons, or even dozens of tons of gold every day."
Magneto snapped his fingers, and the door of the next room suddenly opened, and there were countless long gold bricks filled with them, arranged in the shape of a pyramid, almost touching the ceiling of the roof.
The glitter of glory showing off was almost unsightly. Li Ang took a deep breath, stood up from the sofa, walked to the front of the pair of gold, picked up a piece and put it in his hand to knead it.
Brotherhood mutants in the living room smiled at each other. No one could resist the temptation of gold. Even if they had extraordinary power and had different visions from ordinary people, they were a little dazed and lost when they saw such huge wealth, let alone the mortal president of a mere technology company.
Magneto stood up and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li Ang, if you agree, these bricks are yours, and as the plan progresses, we will continue to provide you with wealth."
"..." Li Ang lowered his head, rubbed the gold bars round and flattened like playing with mud, turned around and said calmly: "I have to say, I'm very disappointed with you."
"Hmm?" Magneto raised his eyebrows and asked in a stiff tone: "What does it mean?"
Li Ang said coldly: "Each link of gold exploration, mining, production and processing, trading and circulation, savings value-added is extremely complicated.
Barrick, the world's largest gold producer, worked diligently and diligently to search for gold in the mineral veins of countries such as the United States, Canada, Peru, Argentina, Australia, and Dominican. The mining volume in a year is only 6 million ounces, which is about 168 tons.
And Mr. Magneto, you can completely crush this insignificant amount of mining by relying on your superpowers.”
Magneto frowned and said, "I am not passionate about wealth, as long as I can keep the brotherhood running..."
"Wrong!" Li Ang threw the crumpled gold nuggets on the ground and said indifferently: "In the world gold reserve rankings, the United States, which ranks first, has 8,133 tons, accounting for 73.3% of foreign exchange savings, and Germany, which second, has 3,391 tons, accounting for 69% of foreign exchange savings. The so-called World Monetary Fund has a very big name, but it only has 2,814 tons of gold."
The data proposed by Li Ang, let alone those mutants who dropped out of high school, even Magneto, who has self-taught and master's degree in engineering, has never understood it. He can only stare at him and listen patiently to the other party's eloquent narrative.
"What is gold? It is wealth, the cornerstone of maintaining the world's monetary fund system, and the lifeblood of modern society, politics and economic structure."
"The gold standard began to sprout in the mid-19th century. It was not until August 1971 that the US government stopped its service to exchange for gold, which collapsed the incomplete gold standard.
This is not to say that gold's status has declined. On the contrary, the reason for the collapse of the gold standard is that those Wall Street capitalists have better weapons, the banknote standard."
"The Federal Reserve, under the control of capitalists, relies on its huge gold savings and the US's brutal military strength to link US dollar banknotes to the world economy. The US dollar's hairstyle currency can control global inflation. Those countries whose military strength is less than the United States and cannot tear this system down can only passively accept it and let the economic lifeline be controlled by the United States."
"As long as the United States starts the printing machine, the people of the world who are kidnapped will have to work for it. In other words, it will make the whole world work for the Federal Reserve's dollar printing machine."
Magneto couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Wait, what does this have to do with us mutants?"
"Oh, so you guys have a rigid mind." Li Ang sighed with regret: "The total amount of gold mined in history in the world is only 140,000 tons. If it is melted into liquid, it can fill three swimming pools of 50 meters in standard size.
The current world's monetary system is still based on gold savings. If Magneto starts its work with all its might and puts several gold statues of the Statue of Liberty in the capitals of several countries, the whole world will have an unprecedented economic crisis the next day.
The US dollar deposits saved by countless families have become waste paper, and all their savings have been wasted for many years. There are countless bankrupt companies, and unemployed people block the streets and alleys in the city. Capitalists who are going to the rooftop to end their lives even need to queue up.
In order to continue to maintain its transcendent status, the angry capitalists will inevitably launch local wars, and the whole world is dragged and dragged to slide into the abyss of war."
The mutants present had not experienced such a tragic economic crisis in person, but when they heard Li Ang's narrative without any emotion, a layer of white sweat rose on their backs.
"You only have the dragon-slaying technique but don't know how to use it. Instead, you are forced to flee in a hurry by the federal violent agencies with three or two big cats and kittens. They are so anxious that they are so embarrassed that they are given by God." Li Ang shook his head regretfully and sighed: "It's so easy to improve the social status of mutants. Just send a video of Mr. Magneto to the White House of the White House of all the gold mines, keeping the dog-legged custody of those capitalists and honestly giving up the mutant persecution policy."
Magneto was stunned when he heard this, looking at his ordinary palm, not knowing what to say.
