Chapter 771: The Fallen Master of the United States (Plus 1)

The United States, on the other side of the ocean, is in the midst of excitement at this time.

"Your company's various equipment is outdated, we want to take over and make a profit, it is impossible, we must transform the production line on a large scale, this is a huge expense, so, for your acquisition, we can pay up to 50 million US dollars."

The man-made fiber company is about to be sold, and Morgan immediately comes forward, and other American companies cannot compete with Morgan Company, and in the case of only one buyer, how much money to sell, of course, is determined by Morgan Company.

You know, the value of the company's tangible assets alone is more than $128 million, and at the current level of profitability, if it is sold normally, it must be at least $200 million.

And now, Morgan & Co., only $50 million, which is definitely an empty glove white wolf.

The British had a very bad face, but they were urged to be in a hurry, and if the sale was not completed, the United States would not formally sign the aid bill, and the US Congress would not formally agree to aid the British.

So, the sale had to be carried out, which was meant to be slaughtered.

"Can your price be higher?" The Briton asked.

"Okay, then let's add more, five thousand four million dollars, no more." The Morgan staff said generously.

Five and four million dollars, less than half of the real price, a quarter of the premium, was thus sold, and the British representatives reluctantly signed the agreement.

This is just the beginning! In order to save their country, Britain will not care about the harm caused to individuals and a certain capitalist, if Britain is gone, what is the use of these capitalists?

This is the United States extorting the wealth of the United Kingdom! And Britain, in order to win this war, must sell its assets in the United States cheaply!

This news made the whole United States boil, and a large number of American speculators were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night, and the opportunity to make a fortune came!

Outside the White House, a Jew in his forties, was wandering, waiting.

After waiting for more than six hours, a White House secretary finally walked out: "Dr. Hammer, President Roosevelt has five minutes to talk to you now, please pay attention to the key points." ”

Dr. Hammer, he's a fake doctor, and this doctorate title was bought.

His greatest academic qualification was only a student at Columbia Medical College, but as a Jew, he had a natural business acumen, and if he studied hard, he would have no problem getting a Ph.D.

But he didn't.

He started selling drugs while he was a student and became a millionaire while he was a student.

(Even now, students in medical school, who want to make a lot of money, start selling drugs while in college.) I knew this when I was in East China Zhixiong University, and it was amazing. )

Hammer had made a fortune, but he was clearly not satisfied, as a Jew, he had a keen sense of smell and at the same time, he had a courage beyond ordinary people.

That is why he dared to go alone to the Soviet Union, shortly after the October Revolution, where he met the great mentor Lenin, and from then on he began trading in the Red Soviet Union.

He had amassed a huge fortune over the years by sending medicines to the Soviet Union to sell, and buying many works of art from the Tsarist era in the Soviet Union and returning them to the United States.

It can be said that Hammer is an authentic American master.

And now, when he heard the news that British assets would be sold off the building, he quickly figured out a big business that even a big international investment bank like Morgan did not dare to think of.

Although he made a lot of money, he still didn't have much fame, and he didn't climb to the top of the family, and now, President Roosevelt took five minutes to meet him, which was unprecedented.

When Hammer walked in, Roosevelt was looking down at the documents, without even raising his head, and he was also very busy: "If there is anything, just say it." ”

"Mr. President, you have forgotten one thing, Britain owed us a debt during the First World War, and it has not been paid off yet." Hammer decided to pick up the most impactful one.

Sure enough, hearing Hamer's words, Roosevelt raised his head, looked at him, and stopped looking at the documents: "So, what do you want to say?" ”

Of course, Roosevelt knew that Britain still owed the United States a large amount of debt, but he just didn't mention it, and now that he is lending weapons and equipment to Britain, Britain has no money, where can he find funds to pay off old debts?

During World War I, the United States later entered the war, and at the same time the United States also gave a lot of aid to various European countries.

After the war, statistics showed that in 1925 Britain owed the United States $5 billion in war debt, and Britain repaid it for many years, and Britain still owes $3.5 billion to this day.

It was not a problem to always be in debt, so the United States passed the Johnson Act in 1934, stipulating that any country that did not pay off its debts in World War I should not expect to receive another penny from the United States.

In fact, this bill is mainly aimed at the United Kingdom.

This bill has not been fully complied with, for example, Italy, has received half of the debt relief from the United States, as for Germany, it has even received a large dollar investment, and France has also received substantial debt relief.

Britain is an empire on which the sun never sets, the United States is an emerging country, and the United States is afraid of Britain, otherwise, there would be no rainbow plan.

The Johnson Act and the Neutrality Act made it impossible for the United States to directly aid Britain in World War II, and Roosevelt was trapped here.

Now, hearing Hammer mention this, of course, is just a wedge, and the rest is the main thing.

"I don't think it's possible for Britain to come up with $3.5 billion to pay the U.S. debt first, but the war is burning money. Therefore, the UK has no choice but to revitalize its assets to offset its US debt. ”

Hamer's words made Roosevelt frown, this is no different from not saying it, isn't it asking Britain to sell the company at a low price, isn't it just to revitalize assets to pay off debts?

Five minutes, of course, Hammer will not be wasted, and he speaks quickly: "I think that it is not enough for Britain to just sell companies, don't they have a large number of colonies?" Wouldn't it be better to use those territories to settle debts? ”

When he heard this, Roosevelt was immediately agitated, could it be a leak? The question of Canada's belongings has already spread?

Roosevelt was on the verge of ordering the intelligence agencies to investigate the person in front of him, how did he know?

Fortunately, Hamer, who spoke quickly, had already continued: "However, it is not in our interest for us to rule the colonies directly, because there is a cost to rule, and instead of laying such a big stall like the British, it is better to sell products to these places, anyway, to make money." Many times, renting is more appropriate than owning. ”

Hearing this, Roosevelt breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the person in front of him didn't know about Canada, he was just talking.

It is true that the United States does not need to rule over the colonies in large numbers, the cost is high, and there is no need for the United States to rule anywhere except in its immediate neighbor, Canada.

It's better to sell goods directly.

"For example, Honduras, the Falkland Islands, Guyana, some islands off the coast of Newfoundland, etc. We can lease these areas, build military bases, and the rent, of course, is deducted from the debts of the British, Mr. President, what do you think of this proposal? ”

Hearing Hamer's words, Roosevelt felt his heartbeat and suddenly accelerated, what a good idea! 21010
