Chapter 497 Consortium
When the dust had not settled, Qin Feng did not dare to slack off, clamped his ass and hurriedly stepped forward to salute,
"Ziyi, they are all their own people, so don't be so polite."
"Ahem." Chen Cheng coughed dryly twice, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Commander Qin, we haven't eaten yet, do you plan to entertain us here?" ”
"Ah" As soon as Qin Feng saw Chen Cheng speak, he immediately became furious, he only remembered that he was the chief, and he really forgot that he was also Chen Yihan's father, so he quickly let go and embarrassedly invited everyone into the headquarters,
Along the way, Qin Feng wanted to ask his wife what such a large lineup was like, but everyone said a word, there was no such opportunity, and several Americans were even more excited, only saying that the construction of the base was the safest and largest military fortress they had seen in China.
As soon as they entered the base, they asked where the banquet room was, they had been on the road all morning, and their stomachs were already growling.
Qin Feng hurriedly led them into the banquet hall, but he had already forgotten to explain to Zhang Quanfa, "the green vegetable tofu is enough", and the group entered the house, and immediately looked at the two or three tables of green vegetable and tofu dumbfounded,
Qin Feng himself was dumbfounded, he originally thought that he was a lady, but who knew that there was such a big lineup, and it was okay to say it to himself, plus these international friends, this face would be a big loss.
Madame Jiang pushed Qin Feng aside and said unhappily, "You did it on purpose." ”
Qin Feng suddenly made a bitter face: "I don't blame me, it's all Yu Jishi's bastard, who brought thousands of people here to eat and drink wildly, made everything that could be eaten, slapped his ass and left, we really only have these for a while, besides, I don't know if there are so many people." ”
"It's exposed, and I said I didn't mean it." Mrs. Jiang Qianqianyu pointed at Qin Feng, and then feigned anger and said, "Go quickly, let the kitchen prepare again, it's not like words." ”
"Hehe, Mrs. is a fiery eye, Ziyi really can't escape your eyes, but you also know, am I a soldier now, self-raising you to tell me how to live."
"Well, I'll talk to the president about this, but you have to solve this meal first."
"Yes." Qin Feng stood up comically, and then went out to arrange for Zhang Quanfa to prepare again, looking at this posture, it didn't look like he was here to fight his own idea, and his heart suddenly felt a lot happy.
As soon as Qin Feng went out, Mrs. immediately explained to everyone, only blaming herself for not greeting Qin Feng before she came, so she didn't prepare their meals, these are just lunches for the soldiers at the base, everyone goes to the living room to sit down, eat some snacks first, and lunch will be good right away,
These heads of the national army and these people from the four major consortia, where can they not see that Mrs. is helping Qin Feng to cover up, although they are displeased, they don't dare to say anything, but these Americans suddenly exclaimed: "Wow, this is Captain Qin's lunch, this is too simple, it seems that Commander Qin not only fights well, but also is a rare incorruptible pioneer." ”
"May I ask Madam, are the generals of your national army as incorruptible as General Qin?" The American beauty looked excited, stared at a pair of beautiful big eyes, and looked at Mrs. Jiang expectantly,
"Well, most of our generals are incorruptible, and you know that there are always black sheep, but there are really not many people like Qin Feng who are all-round in civil and military affairs and clean and self-loving." Madame said,
"Oh, may I ask Madam, does General Qin have someone in love, what other advantages does he have, can he sing, dance and play the piano?"
The American woman is also very fluent in Chinese, and she spoke like a machine gun on the phone, and only asked Mrs. General that she didn't know how to answer, so she had to tell her ambiguously, and she would naturally understand after getting along with him for a long time in the future.
At this time, Bai Chongxi and Qin Feng introduced the identities of several American women.
"The Morgan Consortium." Qin Feng was taken aback, this is one of the eight major consortia in the United States, formed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and is a monopoly capital consortium that rules the U.S. economy,.. On the basis of Morgan's talents, in 1871, he co-founded Drexel, Morgan & Co., engaged in investment and credit and other banking business, and in 1894, the partner died, and was solely owned by him, Morgan & Co., and used the company as the base camp to expand its power to financial and economic sectors (such as steel, railroads and public utilities, etc.), and began to form a monopoly consortium, and in 1912, the Morgan consortium controlled 13 financial institutions. The total assets are 3.04 billion US dollars, of which the Morgan company is the most powerful, dominating the American financial circles, the financial bosses of Wall Street call the Morgan company "the banker's banker", the Morgan consortium made a windfall in the First World War, and after the war with its abundant financial capital, it penetrated into all sectors of the national economy, and in the 30s, the total assets of the large banks and large enterprises controlled by the Morgan consortium accounted for more than 50% of the eight major consortia in the United States at that time.
The heir of such a business giant, what are you doing in China at this time, and there are still politicians, is it possible that Mrs. This trip also has some kind of political purpose, Qin Feng's head suddenly became big.
At lunchtime, Mrs. Jiang found Qin Feng while everyone was still pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and did not explain too much about the military action of the chairman, only saying that he was killed by a traitor, which almost ruined a big thing, and the chairman also regretted this matter, but the chairman definitely considered the national interest, and hoped that Qin Feng would not be angry about it.
He immediately told Qin Feng that the Nationalist Government was taking out a loan with the United States, and things were going well, as long as the Nationalist Government could prove that it had enough strength to deal with the Japanese invasion in the near future, the United States would agree to lend money to the Nationalist Government.
Although the United States agreed to borrow, but still constrained by many parties, the national government drafted a method of borrowing tung oil, the national government provided the same value of tung oil to the United States, and then paid an annual interest of 4.5%, to be repaid within five years, the United States was quite interested in tung oil loans, but due to isolationism and internal differences, it could not take political loans, and could not directly sign an agreement with the national government, so the national government proposed to register a "world trading company" in the United States, with the Chinese as the chairman, The Chinese government sells tung oil to the World Trade Corporation, which in turn sells the tung oil to the United States.
However, the United States can not lend China cash, but exchange cash for materials and ship back to China, so that the world trading company has to take on the heavy responsibility of procurement, although the borrowing method has been resolved, but the United States is not generous, and can only lend 1.5 billion US dollars in the early stage, unless China achieves a decisive advantage in the War of Resistance against Japan, and then talk about follow-up borrowing, and the United States believes that the tung oil loan is "almost purely political" and will make the United States "eventually fall into war", and does not agree with the Chinese government to appear in any document, for this reason, The Chinese government decided to set up a completely independent commercial company in China, buy tung oil, sell it to the World Trade Corporation, and let the World Trade Corporation enter into a loan contract with the Export-Import Bank of the United States, with the Bank of China as a guarantee, so that the loan agreement was finally reached.
