Section 399 Dances with wolves
Morgan went to the hotel where Yang Chao and his wife stayed in the name of paying a visit to the female tsar, and during this time, there were still many Americans who came to visit the female tsar, and there were still many Russian-Americans, many of whom sympathized with the tsarist family and did not have a good impression of Soviet Russia. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There were also other industrialists who hated Soviet Russia to visit the female tsar, such as Ford, who came once and offered to donate a hundred Model T's to the tsarist government in support.
It's a pity that Ford's Model T, maybe the tsar's bureaucrats don't think much of it, because the tsarist government is actually not as poor as others think, but everyone thinks that they will be very hard to live in Siberia, but in fact, with where the Chinese consortium invests, the minerals alone are enough for the tsarist government to eat and drink.
The high-ranking officials of the tsarist government, let alone the problem of food and clothing now, live in villas and open Mabach, and they are already a group of people who got rich first.
Rockefeller also came once, but he had ulterior motives, he hoped that the female tsar would allow them to exploit Siberian oil, they did not need a monopoly, they only needed to cooperate with the Chinese and Nobel.
After Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company was split by the U.S. government, although the loss of wealth was not large, and even the oil price has increased in recent years, he also made a war fortune, and his consortium actually still monopolizes American oil, because Standard Oil is no longer a simple oil company, but a composite consortium.
Rockefeller took control of Citibank, and the oil companies that Standard Oil spun off from through this banking system are still in a coalition, but not as obvious as in the past.
However, the blow to Rockefeller's prestige is extremely great, and now in the United States Rockefeller is not as influential as before, and the US government is not attacking Rockefeller's economic strength, because harming the domestic capitalists is also harming the national economy, and the US government understands this very well, and the biggest blow to their splitting up Rockefeller's oil company is Rockefeller's control over the US government.
Because the newly rising car tycoons and the declining oil tycoons have both visited, there is nothing remarkable about Morgan's arrival.
But Morgan is different from Rockefeller, his main purpose is to come to talk to Yang Chao secretly.
Due to the Sino-US hostilities caused by the exclusion of China, the Morgan consortium was also greatly damaged, and their investment in Shandong was greatly affected, and due to the withdrawal of a large number of American technological forces, in the economic crisis, Morgan's invested Yantai Iron and Steel Company, General Motors Company, and Yantai Shipyard and other enterprises were the first to fall into the crisis.
Morgan agreed with Yang Chao at that time to sell these companies to Yang Chao at a low price, and almost completely withdrew from China.
This time Yang Chao came to the United States, Morgan believes that it is a good opportunity, an opportunity to return to China, he hopes to get Yang Chao's support, and enter the Chinese market again, after all, the United States is still struggling in the crisis, and there are too few investment opportunities, but China's economy is the first to recover, and now it has become the world's most dazzling economic country, a lot of investment opportunities.
"You Americans are too narrow-minded, now there are no Chinese in the United States, have Americans found jobs?"
Yang Chao teased Morgan.
The Chinese in the United States have basically withdrawn from the United States now, some to Canada, some to Mexico, and some to South American countries such as Brazil and Chile, most of these are businessmen and some people who are inconvenient to return to China, and most of them have returned to China.
Morgan smiled wryly: "These are all narrow-minded members of Congress. ”
Yang Chao said with a smile: "Behind these narrow-minded parliamentarians, there are thousands of narrow-minded people, with all due respect, such a narrow-minded nation cannot have any future." ”
There is no way to be ridiculed by Yang Chao for Morgan, the Morgan consortium has not been split up by the US government, but now the situation is not good, not only economically, but also politically, and the influence of the Morgan consortium on the government is also decreasing. On the contrary, Jewish influence began to increase.
When his father was there, Jacob Schaefer, a Jewish family on Wall Street, used the Kuhn-Leeb Bank as a stronghold to pose a powerful threat to Morgan Bank, and Morgan Sr. formed an Anglo-American banking circle in a way that excluded Jews and suppressed the Jews.
But during the war, Wilson strongly supported the Jews, and during the war, almost all of the industrial, financial and economic aspects of the United States were controlled by the Jews.
Now the Morgan Group can no longer suppress the Jewish financial power of Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers.
Later, Morgan's support for the anti-Jewish Nazis was a big motivating factor.
It's just that no one mentions it for the sake of beautification, and conspiracy theories claim that Morgan is Jewish, and they don't believe it.
"If the Chinese Exclusion Act is not repealed and the Chinese people are not apologized, China will not welcome American investment." However, Yangzi Bank and JPMorgan Bank can still cooperate in other aspects? ”
To get to the point, of course, Yang Chao does not accept Morgan to return to China, but he is willing to cooperate with Morgan in other places and maintain cooperation with American financial forces, which is very important, otherwise it will be very inconvenient to completely lose the influence on the United States in many cases.
Morgan was disappointed at first, then interested: "What are the aspects?" ”
Yang Chao laughed: "Our overseas assets are not subject to government interference, and there are a lot of cooperative benefits here, such as our investment in Brazil. We welcome the involvement of American capital. Brazil is rich in mineral resources, and China's construction needs resources are unimaginable, so in the next ten years, our mineral income in Brazil can be guaranteed. I don't know if the Morgan consortium is interested. ”
China's development in Brazil has aroused the vigilance of the U.S. government, which is vigorously campaigning against Chinese immigrants through Brazilian racists. But it was not very successful, because the image of the Chinese in Minas Gerais is very good, and the next US president is likely to come from this state.
Brazil's presidents are almost always Minas Gerais and São Paulo's real estate oligarchs and industrial capitalists take turns in the run, São Paulo's industrial capitalist group is more radical, but Minas Gerais has a large hacienda economy, and the manor owners here need labor from China, they are not racists.
The next candidate for Minas Gerais, Artur Bernardes, who is now the current president of Minas Gerais, is likely to be elected.
Therefore, Morgan is still very confident that China will continue to invest in Brazil, and it is foreseeable that Brazil will not make any changes to Chinese in the next few years.
"We are willing to provide loans, agricultural machinery and mining equipment to Chinese investors in Brazil."
Morgan said immediately.
Yang Chao nodded and said, "Of course, we also welcome loans from the United States, but machinery and equipment are not needed." ”
China's mining equipment has been surplus before the war, the past two years have been easy, there is no reason to let the Americans to get a piece of the pie, as for agricultural machinery, after the acquisition of General Motors China, Yang Chao continued to expand the scale, with an annual output of more than 50,000 tractors, and the sales volume of tractors in the United States last year was only 35,000, so Yang Chao's own agricultural machinery is still not full, there is no need to share it with the Americans.
Morgan was a little disappointed, it seems that he can only eat a little loan profit, there is no need to think about the equipment order, it seems that Yang Chao just wants him to get a piece of the pie, not like he is too full.
"But for investments in Europe, we're happy to work with Morgan."
Yang Chao said with a smile.
Morgan sighed: "Is there still an investment opportunity in Europe? ”
Britain and France both looked at their domestic markets very closely, and after receiving Yang Chao's huge gold loans, Britain and France focused on protecting their financial markets, and did not give the United States a chance to invade financially at all.
And because Britain and France have not paid off their loans, and they are not active in the debt problem, the US government has closed the window to borrow from Britain and France, and New York is now refusing to do British and French bond business, so that Morgan can not do it if he wants to underwrite British and French bonds, and the bonds of Britain and France are now transferred to China, such as the loan of up to 6,000 tons of gold, which is actually financed through the Shanghai market.
This made Morgan envious, he hoped that Yang Chao would allow him to enter the Chinese market, in fact, he was eyeing the Shanghai financial market, as for those industrial investments in Shandong, he no longer planned to enter, after all, he could not send his own people to manage, he could not control the operation of those enterprises, it was impossible to rest assured.
And if JPMorgan Bank can be allowed to enter the Shanghai market, it can continue to help Britain and France underwrite debt, and it is a huge fat meat.
"Will there always be?"
Yang Chao said with a smile.
"We intend to invest in Sweden, Switzerland, Finland and Australia, I wonder if the Morgan consortium dares to be interested?"
Sweden was not only not affected by the war in World War II, but made a lot of money by supplying iron ore to Germany, so it is still worth the investment, and the same is true for Switzerland, not to mention how many of the huge quantities of jewelry and art looted by the Nazis in Europe ended up in Switzerland, which is a foolish account that can never be calculated, and Yang Chao plans to set up a branch in Switzerland as a center of operation on the European continent.
The Finns are competitive enough to lend to them without worrying about not repaying them.
As for Australia, Morgan also knows that Yang Chao has recently obtained prospecting rights in Australia, so what valuable minerals has Yang Chao found?
"Australia?"
Morgan wondered.
Yang Chao smiled: "Where did we find a world-class iron mine? I plan to make a joint venture with Morgan, but I don't have the right talent in my hands, so I plan to ask Morgan to send someone to run it. ”
Morgan nodded and asked, "What about the reserves?" ”
Yang Chao said casually: "Tens of billions of tons of iron ore, the taste is not inferior to that of the United States." ”
"Ahh
Morgan couldn't help but be surprised, this is really a big project. (To be continued.) )
