Chapter 499 Blood Gold and Whitening Liquid (6K)
The blood-purchasing activities of the Jieko Group are extensive, not only in the United States, but also spread all over the world.
Among the 197 countries in the world, according to the per capita monthly income ranking, the monthly income of countries outside the 70th is already less than 500 US dollars.
The price quoted by Jieke Group for selling blood has increased recently, taking into account the additional costs such as freight. The price of one milliliter of blood fluctuates between 1.2 and 1.3 US dollars.
If a person sells 400 ml of blood, that is about 500 US dollars, which is more than the monthly income of people in many countries.
Not to mention those low-income countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Ordinary people in many places cannot even have a full stomach.
But now, just by selling blood, you can earn nearly 500 US dollars. What an exaggeration.
Of course, after layers of exploitation, most blood donors cannot get this price, and some can get less than half of it.
Even so, many poor people still flock to it.
In countries where the annual income is only a few hundred dollars, such as Liberia, nearly 90% of the population is on the edge of the poverty line, the per capita GDP is only a few hundred dollars, and most citizens live on less than 1 dollar per day.
They can earn half a year's income by donating blood once.
So when the news reached the local area, the scene was not too scary.
The crowds of poor people applying to donate blood were like zombies emerging from their cages.
In this world, there should not be too many poor people. For a few hundred dollars to sell blood, there is no need for any coercion at all. The poor themselves rush to sign up to donate blood, for fear that they will be left behind if it is too late and they will not be chosen.
The positive behavior of a large number of people in poor areas towards donating blood also represents extremely lucrative profits.
In the past, there was little money to be made from the poor, but now there is huge profit to be made just from selling blood.
Therefore, this industry, after it was artificially developed by Jieke Group, was also called the blood gold industry, which means that blood contains gold-like wealth.
The Jieke Group has invested hundreds of billions of dollars in this, and the amount of blood gained is naturally terrifying.
A lot of blood was transported from all over the world to the Indochina Peninsula where the Jieco Group is located. Some of these blood came from black people in Africa, some from Latin America, and some from Europe and the United States.
Capital will enter any industry that makes money, let alone a huge industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
With such a huge flow of funds, related upstream and downstream organizations have also emerged, such as blood trafficking intermediaries, transportation vehicles, smuggling channels, blood black markets, etc.
In places where the power and influence of the Jieko Group cannot reach, its own capital helps the Jieko Group complete the acquisition and transportation of blood.
Blood development companies have been established one after another, and transnational blood companies are developing rapidly. Some national officials have even participated in organizing the blood selling business. Blood companies in other provinces have continued to bribe their own officials and engage in corruption, and they have ended up making money on their own. money.
In this industry, Jieco Group has become the source of all evil.
A steady stream of money was thrown away in exchange for a huge amount of blood.
This is because Jieko Group has limited financial resources and cannot buy more. After all, there are nearly one billion hungry people in the world alone, otherwise the amount of blood will be even higher.
"In a country located on a sea of blood, what does the Jieko Group want to do?" 》
"Slavery or Charity?" Please tell me what you think. 》
"Beware that Jieke Group uses blood to create genetic viruses. Selling blood now is selling our future lives. 》
It is impossible for Jieko Group to hide such a large-scale blood purchase operation from the outside world, and Jieko Group has no intention of concealing it. It just openly announces it on the official website.
This approach has also triggered controversy in the media from all sides, and people's views on this are extremely polarized.
On the Internet, most of the criticism against Jieke Group is verbal and written.
Selling blood sounds very inhumane and has nothing to do with justice. They can also find a lot of evidence of crimes.
Because when it comes to blood, it is always associated with words such as force, evil, blood, bribery, danger, etc. There is nothing wrong in saying that this is a gray industry where violence and corruption are rampant.
But in the eyes of those poor countries and people, Jieke Group is just a living Buddha with great mercy!
The blood purchase initiative of the Jieke Group has suddenly improved their lives a lot. Many people have relied on the money from selling blood to build houses, provide education for their children, and provide medical treatment for the elderly.
But no matter how others criticize or praise it, Jieke Group still goes its own way.
The truth doesn't matter. In the world of power and capital, everything is just business.
Beautiful Kunokuromiya!
CIA Director Judith, NASA Director Burton, and American President Lawrence Fernando were having a meeting.
"The situation is like this. The phenomenon of blood selling is becoming more and more intense. Under the trend of interests, many capitals are constantly joining this blood gold industry. It has become a hot commodity in the current industry market. In the eyes of investors, it is a good deal with huge profits. Street The world is full of semi-open blood trade, and has spawned a large number of related black industries.”
Judith told what he knew about the situation. The recent crazy purchase of blood by Jieke Group confused him as the director.
"Jeco Group only purchases blood in our country, or does it also do it in other countries?"
"Many countries have it. The poorer the country, the more popular this kind of selling blood is."
Judith said, in poor countries, they work for a month and still earn more money than selling their own blood. This naturally leads the poor people to sell blood as a way to gain economy.
"That doesn't seem to be just for us."
Lawrence pondered, he was just worried that there was some conspiracy behind the blood purchase by Jieko Group, like the news media said it was engaged in dangerous things like genetic weapons.
Although their beautiful country is a country of immigrants, they have to guard against this. Who makes the genes and biotechnology of the Jieko Group so famous?
"Mr. President, in order to curb this blood gold industry, should we introduce some bill restrictions."
Judith suggested that this kind of chaos needs to be stopped in Judith's opinion.
Although I don’t know why the Jieke Group purchases blood, all I have to do is oppose and stop what the enemy wants to do.
"Of course we have to crack down. Our beautiful country is not the blood warehouse of Jieke Group."
Lawrence nodded, and then continued: "But we must be restrained in attacking, and don't accidentally hurt innocent people. It's not easy for domestic capital, so we should mainly target the Tijuana Group."
Judien's face froze. Jieke Group tempted him with huge profits, but it was only responsible for the terminal acquisition.
Those who are truly deeply involved in the production and reselling of blood are actually the capital within the beautiful country.
For example, prisons are one of the hardest hit areas, with a large number of prisoners having their blood drawn and resold without any human rights.
If we do not target domestic capital, it can be said that it is very difficult to stop this chaos, and it is impossible to effectively contain and crack down on it.
But Judith was very wise after all. He just nodded silently and responded: "I understand, I will grasp this degree."
Judith himself actually knows that America is a capitalist country and capital is king.
The gray forces involved in blood money are inextricably linked to the upper-level capital of Beautiful Country behind the scenes.
Among other things, Wall Street has developed blood-related financial derivatives.
When a bank lends money to blood donors, the collateral is the donor's blood in the next few years or more. Everyone has blood. As long as the Jieke Group does not stop purchasing blood, the value of this collateral will be extremely stable.
However, most of the people who come to get blood donation loans are from the bottom of the beautiful country. The instability lies in the blood donors themselves.
After all, there are so many drugs in the beautiful country, no one can guarantee that the other party will become poisonous in the future, the quality of the blood will decline, leading to a decline in value, or he will encounter various accidents, disappear, get sick, die, etc., loan Cannot be taken back.
Considering that blood donors may run away and default, banks package the loan into collateralized debt obligations in order to collect the money as quickly as possible, and then sell it to investors and other financial institutions. The participation of a large amount of hot money and capital has made the blood money industry to expand rapidly.
Delaying those capitalists from making money will make the president unable to sit firmly in his seat.
"Mr. President, the recent space race between Jieko Group and us is continuing. Their Kunpeng rocket is still launching satellites, and they are also expanding their space station.
Now the mass of the Jeko Space Station has reached 2,000 tons, which is five times that of our International Space Station.
I believe that we must further increase NASA funding to ensure that we can win this space race. ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, NASA Director Burton opened his mouth to speak, and he had the same meaning inside and outside the words, to send money.
"This matter will be discussed in Congress. I am only concerned about one question now. Will the Jieco Group be unable to survive? They dug the Kra Isthmus Canal, competed with us in the space race, and now they are buying blood around the world. Will they destroy themselves? Is the economy collapsing? ”
Lawrence knocked on the table and looked at the two of them.
Burton was the first to speak and introduced: "In the past year, Jieke Group has spent at least 200 billion U.S. dollars on our space race."
Judith spoke immediately and said: "I have asked people to compile relevant data on the blood gold industry of Jieke Group. Currently, blood donors in the blood gold industry cover approximately 450 million people. Jieke Group spends at least 100,000 yuan a year on this." More than 600 billion US dollars”
Hearing this, Burton and Lawrence both looked at him sideways.
I knew that Jieke Group was making generous money in the blood gold industry, but I didn't expect it to be so much money. No wonder Wall Street capitalists would be crazy to participate.
"That is to say, combined with the Jieke Group's armaments and other expenditures, they spend less than 900 billion US dollars a year, and their capital pool should have bottomed out."
Lawrence narrowed his eyes. The Jieco Group's expenditure has almost caught up with the annual military expenditure of the United States. The annual military expenditure of the United States is just over one trillion US dollars.
"Yes, Jieke Group's flagship products, hair growth lotion, myopia pills and weight loss pills, have earned it a huge amount of wealth, but all added up, it amounts to 400 to 500 billion U.S. dollars a year. I am afraid that the other party's savings accumulated in the past will soon At the bottom, we only need to pay attention to whether the Jieco Group will extract the wealth of other countries in the Indochina Peninsula to judge the internal financial situation of the Jieco Group.”
Judien also had a smile on his face. If the economy is not good, Jieke Group must increase revenue and reduce expenditure, stop the space race and blood purchases.
Either they are exploiting several countries in the Indochina Peninsula. Once the Jieco Group makes such a move, the CIA will immediately know that there is a problem with the financial situation of the Jieco Group.
"It's ridiculous. Compared with us in terms of money, Jieke Group can't compete with us. The red fur bear was dragged down by us back then."
Burton shook his fist and laughed. The Jieco Group's rule in Indochina can be maintained mainly because of high welfare and force.
Without high welfare, local people's morale will be unstable.
Without the financial resources to maintain the army, such a large army will decay and collapse. Burton seemed to see the scene of the Jieco Group collapsing due to economic problems.
"Very good, continue to attract Jieke Group to spend money, let him compete with us in space, and see who can't hold on first."
Lawrence nodded, this plan was also made by them before.
"So Mr. President, should we not consider the force aspect for now?"
Judith thought more. With the size of the Jieco Group, it would take at least a few years for it to collapse naturally. It was unknown how much damage this process would cause to the beautiful country.
The CIA has lost too many brothers here in the Jieko Group. It can be said that it is the beautiful country department that has been most persecuted by the Jieko Group. He wants to see the collapse of the Jieko Group as soon as possible.
"That will happen after the re-election is successful."
Lawrence nodded at Judith. The struggle between various factions in the beautiful country is extremely fierce now. Whether he can be re-elected depends on the support rate this year. If a war starts, he will have to take a huge risk. He will not ask for trouble at such a critical moment.
When Judith heard Lawrence say this, she still didn't understand what it meant.
If Lawrence fails to be re-elected, it will be the next president's job to deal with the Jieko Group. If it is war or peace, this mess will have nothing to do with him.
The three people continued to discuss and called in a think tank to analyze and study countermeasures to deal with the Jieke Group.
When Judith returned to her villa, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
"Where's Paris."
In the living room, Judith called his wife's name twice, but no one answered.
The nanny explained: "Just now, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Catalina came over to invite Madam to attend the salon. Miss Oralda has already gone to bed, and she has to go to school tomorrow."
“I play outside all day long and I don’t know how to take care of myself at home.”
Judith complained with some dissatisfaction. As soon as she finished speaking, she heard footsteps coming from the entrance.
A woman in her forties walked in. She was wearing fur, with blond hair pulled high, carrying a Hermès bag, a crystal bracelet tied around her wrist, and red diamond earrings sparkling under the crystal lamp.
This is Judith's wife, Paris, who is 42 years old. She was a fashion model when she was young. But now that she is older, she has crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, but she can still see her youthful appearance.
"What are you doing? I heard you talking about me as soon as you came back."
Paris snorted to Judith: "You are busy working all day long and never leave home. If I don't go to relax with my friends, I will be bored to death at home."
"Then don't play too late!"
"I'm back now."
Paris threw her bag on the sofa and went upstairs.
Judith shook her head, knowing that she had made her wife unhappy.
They were already an old couple, and Judith didn't catch up with them to coax them, and just kept washing themselves.
Half an hour later, Judith came to the master bedroom after washing, and saw his wife in pajamas, sitting in front of the dressing table, with an exquisite bottle in front of her.
At this time, due to the makeup removal, the skin condition on Paris's face looked very bad. The skin was sagging, the skin lost its luster, the complexion was dull and there were spots, and the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes became particularly obvious.
"Did you buy cosmetics again?"
Judith walked behind his wife.
"Nothing."
Seeing Judith, Paris made a slight movement to cover up.
This abnormal behavior made Judien feel strange, and then his eyes fell on the exquisite bottle. Judien's eyes widened at a glance.
Because on the bottle is printed the logo of Jieke Group.
"What is this? A product of Jieke Group. Have you bought their product again?"
Judith's tone became higher because he had told Paris about her use of weight loss pills in the past.
"Are you going to quarrel? Your father still uses hair growth serum from Jieke Group. Why didn't he see you to scold him? And your mother, her figure is so out of shape. Her waist is as big as a bucket. She only lost weight after taking diet pills. Yes. Our daughter’s myopia was cured by taking myopia pills! Their products are really good. What’s wrong with me? I’m not doing this for your own good.”
Paris was furious all of a sudden and stared at Judith angrily.
The corner of Judith's mouth twitched and he was said to be speechless, because his whole family had used Jieke Group's products.
"That's not possible. I am the director of the CIA, and the Jieko Group is our CIA's mortal enemy. How will it be known to others."
Judien smiled bitterly, but did not continue to blame his wife, but pointed to the cosmetics on the table.
"Is this something new created by Jieke Group?"
Paris picked up the bottle on the table, her eyes shining with excitement.
"This is called Tianyuan Whitening Liquid. It is the latest cosmetic product launched by Jieke Group. It is said to be able to solve all skin problems and make people ten times more beautiful and ten years younger. Currently, this product is still in the trial operation stage, and only a small part of it has been released. I also relied on Darlene to help me get a bottle, which cost 2.99 million US dollars.”
"How much more?"
Judith wondered if she had heard the numbers wrong. Darling knew that she was a very wealthy lady and her family company had assets worth tens of billions.
But Judith is not bad either. He has a lot of income, plus some extra money from other channels, and his net worth is tens of millions of dollars. This is why his wife Paris can spend 2.99 million US dollars to buy Tianyuan whitening liquid.
The more Paris talked, the more excited she became: "$2.99 million, I'm not even talking about the top-grade one. The top-grade Tianyuan whitening liquid sells for $12.99 million, the one that Darin uses.
Oh my God! You don't know how exaggerated the effect is.
I saw Darling today and she looked literally twenty years younger. It's a pity that I don't have that much money, otherwise I would also want that model. ”
After talking about it, Paris looked at Judith with some dissatisfaction, seeming to blame her husband for not making money.
Judith felt that her heart was about to jump out. She didn't care about her wife's slight dissatisfaction, but was shocked by the expensive figure of this product.
Cosmetics sold for millions or even tens of millions of dollars. He has never heard of any cosmetics that can sell for such a sky-high price. This is no longer cutting leeks, this is digging out all the roots of the leeks!
"You try it now and let me see the effect of this product."
Judith finally calmed down and wanted to see the effect of this product.
He doesn't know if his wife has been deceived. Judging from the products released by Jieke Group in the past, he would rather his wife be deceived.
Rather than losing millions of dollars, Judith was more worried that the Jieco Group would launch a product similar to hair growth serum, and the plan to bankrupt the Jieco Group would take even longer to implement.
Seeing that her husband did not blame herself, Paris immediately poured out the whitening liquid from the bottle in front of the mirror, spread it evenly on her face and neck, and let it dry naturally.
Half an hour passed in this wait.
Judith walked back and forth in the room, sending a message to the CIA's subordinates, asking them to immediately mobilize their forces to investigate the relevant information about Tianyuan whitening liquid.
When the alarm clock set for half an hour rang, Paris slowly peeled off the dried Tianyuan whitening lotion from her face under Judith's nervous gaze.
What appeared in front of Judien was a beautiful face with delicate white skin and moist skin.
Suddenly, Judith seemed to have returned to the time when she first met Paris. Paris at that time was so charming and beautiful.
The next moment Judien reacted, she reached out tremblingly in disbelief and touched Paris's face.
The spots, eye bags, blackheads and dull skin color on the face in the past have all disappeared. The skin is fair and delicate, full of collagen, and even the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes are almost invisible. It is completely different from half an hour ago. The whole person looks ten years younger.
This is not a state that can be achieved with cosmetics, but the simplest, most natural, and most beautiful appearance of skin.
"Ah, my face"
Seeing her husband open his mouth from ear to ear in surprise, Paris turned her head to the mirror, and immediately screamed uncontrollably, holding her face in her hands, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"It's great. Tianyuan Whitening Essence is great. It's worthy of the Jieke Group. Their products are as amazing as ever. Husband, look at my face. Am I much prettier than before?"
Paris held her husband's arms and jumped up and down, her heart completely filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.
The effect of Tianyuan Whitening Liquid was so amazing. Paris had never used such a miraculous product before, and she felt like she was back to the age of thirty.
That woman doesn't want to stay young forever, not to mention that Paris is a model, so she values appearance even more.
Now that I have suddenly become young and beautiful, there is no need to describe the excitement. No woman can resist this temptation.
"The way you look now is similar to the way you were when I first met you."
"This 2.99 million U.S. dollars is really well spent. Husband, I also want to buy the 12.99 million U.S. dollars. Maybe I can return to the state of 17 or 18 years old."
Paris put her hands around Judith's neck, licked her lips, her eyes were charming and sultry, and was about to lead Judith to the bed.
"Not tonight. I have to go back immediately to deal with the Tianyuan Whitening Liquid. I won't be back after working overtime tonight. You should go to bed early."
Judith lost interest. Although his wife was now young and beautiful, he was more concerned about his career.
Witnessing the terrifying effect of Tianyuan Whitening Liquid, Judith knew what was going to happen. Once such a product is launched, women all over the world will go crazy for it. By then, Jieke Group will not be able to make crazy money, and Jieke Group's plan to collapse the economy will also come to nothing. .
When Judith thought of this, she couldn't stay any longer. She put on her coat and left in a hurry, leaving her wife's resentful eyes behind her.
