Chapter 55: The Big Trumpet

【Broadcast】Pay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time

This is a post-Panamax all-container ship flying the Liberian Little Star-Spangled flag, Maersk Line's "Colonial Hawaii", 420 meters long and 52 meters wide, more than one-third of the Nimitz aircraft carrier, can carry 11,600 standard containers, departing from Los Angeles, after half a month of sailing, will arrive at the final destination, Hong Kong Kwai Chung Container Terminal.

At the same time as the container ship sailed into the open sea, a Lake Tahoe trading company registered in Reno, Nevada, will declare bankruptcy and enter liquidation procedures, and the company will have to enter the preliminary verification list for the eight TEUs of electronic chips purchased and consigned by the company on behalf of Hong Kong Feilong Electronics.

When a Hong Kong trading company named Regent received the news of the bankruptcy of Tahoe Lake Trading, it would apply to the local court to freeze the goods, citing the creditor's relationship with Feilong Electronics.

Feilong Electronics was unable to repay its debts, so it could only rely on the letter of credit stub issued in its hand to prove the ownership of the collateral, and negotiate with Regent Company to apply for court auction.

Once the auction process has begun, and the chain of notes from the United States to Hong Kong is fully clear, a Taiwanese company with a sterling account in BOCHK will intervene in the tripartite negotiations and apply to the court to postpone the auction date.

Once the court agrees to postpone the announcement, the three parties will negotiate and the Taiwanese company will make a bid to buy the chips.

In the end, the result of the procedure will be that the Taiwan company will purchase eight containers of chips at a negotiated price, and the three parties and the court have no objection, and it is completely legal, and at the same time, Feilong Electronics will go bankrupt, and Regent Electronics will recover the L/C issued by Feilong and negotiate with the Nevada Bankruptcy Court in the United States.

At this time, no matter how the Taiwan company handles this batch of chips, as long as the sales money is taxed, the boss of the Taiwan company will buy an art treasure through the registered auction house - a picture of Guiguzi going up the mountain, and the money lying on the dollar account of HSBC and Bank of China Hong Kong after the tax of Sun Fan, the owner of calligraphy and painting, will be extremely clean.

Hong Kong Regent's local retention is clean, and the funds flowing from Taiwan to Nanyang are also clean, and everyone is innocent.

The British government in Hong Kong received the tax, the Taiwanese boss bought his beloved calligraphy and paintings, and the turtles painted by Yang Wei could also be sold for a large price, and the compatriots on both sides of the strait were very happy......

……

Some things may be written by the person on his deathbed, such as the book "Simple Deception in Economics" written by John Galbraith at the age of 94, and the old man gave some interesting examples based on his decades of experience in the magic world.

You must know that the Soviet Union had a trade ruble and a circulating ruble, and some rubles were only used on the books for the settlement of the planned economy, and only existed on the books, and it would be disastrous to actually realize them or not to realize them.

Just like the US dollar foreign exchange deposits of the central banks and reserve institutions of other countries, it may be on the Fed's account, and the central bank itself does not have much US dollar cash and US dollar assets.

The gold reserves of many countries are also stored in the underground vaults of New York for settlement, and it is not easy for France and Germany to go back to future generations.

In fact, the United States also trades in dollars, and the realization or non-realization of this ghost asset is also a disaster. It's not just about issuing Treasury bonds as collateral to the Federal Reserve, and then the Fed printing dollar reserve bills to eat interest, but there are actually several layers of operation that are very interesting.

The old man once served a company called William Blair in Chicago, and most people will be very unfamiliar with the name of this company, in fact, it is similar to the business of Salomon Brothers, but the size is small, the dive is deep, and it is very low-key until later generations, it turns out that Goldman Sachs is also so low-key, but the list of consultants of this company is not low-key, and a tongue twister master can be found in it.

"As far as we know, we already know some, we know that we already know, we know that we know some that we don't know, that is, we know some things that we don't know yet, but, there are others, we don't know we don't know, these things we don't know, we don't know."

"We do know that Laden is either in Afghanistan, in other countries, or dead."

The man who spoke so sharply was the famous hawk Rumsfeld in later generations.

This German-American dude is actually not confused at all, he is a representative of the American power elite, not to mention politics, starting as an assistant to a senator, then shaking hands with Chicago for the first time and working as a broker for a few years, and after finding an organization, he began to run all the way from a congressman to the White House as a director, and then rose to the highest civilian rank in the military. The youngest secretary of defense under Ford, he became chairman and CEO of General Instruments at the business world's annual meeting, and was also chairman of the RAND Corporation, a think tank.

There is no shortage of political, business, and military brains.

When he was mixed in political circles, he once expelled an old friend of the Chinese people from the White House, that is, Kissinger, who invented the term "both sides of the strait."

At that time, Nelson Rockefeller, the grandson of John Rockefeller, the founder of Mobil Oil, was the vice president of the United States, and Kissinger was with Rockefeller, and the other group was Rash and Cheney, who later became members of the Bush Jr. gang.

The contradiction between the two groups intensified, the former failed and left you, and the Ford era was eliminated and went to open a consulting company.

Kissinger is not only an old friend of the Chinese people, but also an old friend of the South American people, but he only likes to play teachers in China, and South America does not go.

What kind of big think tank that many people in China admire, the old fox, and the teacher Ji who has countless honorary titles, was still driven out of the decision-making level of the White House by what the outside world thought was a tongue twister master, and this is still an ally named Rockefeller.

Just like George W. Bush, the public only knows that IQ is not enough, and few people know that when George W. Bush was at Yale, he was able to know more than 1,000 people out of more than 4,000 students in Yale.

Those frankness are just the image that the campaign team designed for Bush Jr.

Just like Hollywood movies always laugh at American football quarterbacks for being all idiots, and don't want to think about what quarterbacks do, tandem organization, participation in offense, team organization offensive brain, not to mention idiots, a dull brain can do this?

You have to admire the people of the United States who keep pace with the times, and the image of American politicians was not like this in the first place.

In the early days, the United States and Britain were in the same vein, and all the big politicians had a kind of aristocratic style, even Hamilton, who was scolded as a stinky fart cub who was a Scottish peddler, was very aristocratic when he had a gavel in his hand to knock.

The parliamentarian class, which emerged from merchants, factories, farmers, lawyers, has always been the style of mixing British parliamentary debates with Hyde Park speeches, and until the Oxford debates of the twenty-first century were still the same shroud, and the British were more stubborn.

When did that change? Cold war.

Until the time of Roosevelt and Truman, listening to the recordings of Roosevelt's speeches, you can hear that they are like singing operas, and they are not like American English at all, but they are in the same way as the Japanese emperor's Tsuruyin, and there are still remnants of the classical mysticism of old Europe.

To put it mildly, it is pretending, distance produces beauty, insisting on absolute elitism, privacy, and off-stage operation, which is actually very ungrounded.

The American Dream is not something you want to do at the beginning, Adams proposed the American Dream in the Great Depression era of the thirties of the twentieth century, when the United States had reached the first place in the industrial world for almost half a century.

It's just that the dollar was smashed for the first time internationalization, from Eastern Europe to Germany, and then it collapsed, and then the chicken soup for the soul of the American dream came out to cheer up the people.

But at that time, American politicians were very uncooperative, and from temperament to appearance, from conversation to style of doing things, they clearly told the people that they were elites, until the Soviet-style ideology-form penetrated into the United States.

At that time, the Soviet Union had a strong penetration of loudspeakers, and the United States had more than 30,000 strikes a year and 4.5 million people took to the streets, including the Maoists, the Black Panther Party, and even the Manhattan Project.

Top scientists and social elites have defected to bright socialism, and scientists who participated in the Manhattan Project have gone to Beijing to raise dairy cows, but they have not lived with dark capitalism.

The whole society was restless, the movements were one after another, and the American elite was very terrified.

It was the happiest time for Hoover's children, and even the atmosphere of rejection of heresy in the Middle Ages was created, not to mention the maintenance of stability, and the Cultural Revolution broke out in the United States first.

Go up to the Capitol Hill in the White House, down to what books you have at home, the Cultural Revolution in the United States has spread all over the country, McCarthy is just a top tank, and he can't do such a big thing even if he is a small senator, that is the consensus of the American elite.

At that time, the United States was subjected to background checks on a case-by-case basis by 2.5 million federal government employees, from postmen to secretaries, then to 3 million members of the armed forces and 3 million employees of defense-related contractors, and then to 13 million civilians.

It is conservatively estimated that more than 20 million people from all walks of life are involved in the oath of loyalty and the investigation of loyalty.

Oppenheimer, the father of atomic energy, was accused of treason and censored, the scientists Rosenberg and his wife were executed for leaking atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union, and more than a hundred professors at the University of California in Los Angeles were fired for refusing to take the oath of loyalty.

Hundreds of Hollywood screenwriters and actors lost their jobs because they were blacklisted, Chaplin moved to Europe for this reason, Miss America pageants had to state their views on Marx, and even Marshall was branded a traitor and murderer and had to go home to retire.

The Soviet trumpet's ideology-form penetration was too fierce, and the Americans still couldn't bear it even after the Cultural Revolution came out, and the upper-level politicians slowly began to put down their bodies and try to be down-to-earth, so as not to let the people obviously have a sense of rejection.

But how to do it has not been systematically understood.

knew that he wanted to mingle with the people, but in the early days, he did not rise to a rigorous scientific attitude to study, or follow his feelings and pat his brain to decide.

Sometimes the Soviets who deliberately threw off the bodyguards and shook hands with a child were afraid of the show, and when Reagan visited the Soviet Union, he asked Pujing to pretend to be an ordinary tourist to shake Reagan's hand, for fear that something would happen.

Kennedy just liked to wave to the crowd in a convertible, and it turned out to be bam.

Ps. chasing more children's shoes, are there any free appreciation tickets and starting coins~ The countdown to the 515 red envelope list is over, I'll pull a ticket, ask for an increase and appreciation vote, and finally rush a handful!
