Since his return in 1893, Qin Lang has met with Morgan more than once, but never has the meeting taken place like now, no longer in the office of the Wall Street Emperor, but on a brig about forty meters long and decorated in simple and comfortable decoration. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Voyager", the name of the sailing ship is as simple as her decoration, so that Qin Lang can't remember whether Morgan really has such a private yacht - whether it is history or reality; If the ship's name had been "Truth and Harmony" or "Unsurpassed Justice," he would have been much more impressed with her.

Of course, this is just a joke. Qin Lang secretly laughed. In any case, it is impossible for Morgan to name his private yacht with either of those two names......

Morgan's voice brought Qin Lang back to reality from his spiritual world. "What do you think of this ship, Mr. Qin?"

"All I can say is ......" Qin Lang hesitated, and finally commented, "She's a good ship." ”

Obviously, this answer could not really satisfy the owner of the "Voyager", however, Morgan laughed out loud - Qin Lang's answer faithfully reflected his personal aesthetic taste: there was no aesthetic taste. Qin Lang has shown this unreservedly in various ways: as we all know, his private mansion is a reinforced concrete fortress, and he is going to marry a lady who only has chemistry in his head.

"It's a shame." "Perhaps," he said, in a tone that was not just teasing, "Perhaps, only a battleship can interest you." ”

"Strictly speaking, it's a battleship with seven turrets and fourteen twelve-inch guns......" Then Qin Lang stopped. He shouldn't have mentioned the characteristics of the Agincourt, not because Morgan might have guessed her—no doubt it was impossible—but Morgan would have said......

"I'm curious to know what kind of designer would have designed such a crazy battleship, and which country's naval shipyard could build her."

Qin Lang knew that this was not what Morgan really meant—what he wanted to say was that it was impossible.

No battleship yet has so many turrets. Although the U.S. Navy was building a Tennessee-class armored cruiser with four turrets, turning the turret into seven was obviously a shipbuilding engineering challenge; And the caliber of the main guns of the armored cruiser was eight inches, not twelve.

So Morgan didn't believe that the Agincourt could be built - an inevitable and unavoidable limitation, but it was not regrettable.

He is a financier, not a military expert, and there is no need to know military technology.

And Qin Lang didn't plan to talk to him about military affairs.

"You know, everybody has some fantasies, even if they never come true." Qin Lang shrugged, left the side of the ship, and returned to his chair. Then the owner of the yacht came over and sat down.

"It must be said that your fantasies are very much in line with your profession." After a pause, Morgan continued, "By the way, although I have already sent you a congratulatory message when Tricell was founded, I still want to congratulate you in person now. You're doing even better than I expected, Mr. Qin. ”

"I am flattered by your compliment, Mr. Morgan." Qin Lang replied, "Tricell is still a newly established bank, and it cannot be compared with its long-established peers. ”

"But it's also a strong bank, isn't it? In any case, no bank opened with four branches and one hundred and ninety-two savings banks. Morgan smiled, like a kind and gentle old man—but Qin Lang knew that he was a cunning old fox.

He began to speculate about Morgan's intention to mention Tricell. The ruler of America's largest conglomerate would not mention a bank for no reason, even if its announcement remains a "piece of news" that is becoming obsolete; If he mentions it, he must have an attempt.

Qin Lang was a little worried about Morgan's intentions.

Here's the trouble: Morgan knows him. Although he chose to enter the financial industry when he decided to enter the financial industry, he chose the scope of business that American bankers deliberately ignored, and he took the greatest possible care to hide the actual capital of the bank when he took practical action, but Morgan knew the power he had and what his actions meant......

Of course, he didn't think that these tricks would be able to hide from Morgan at first, but he still hoped that Tricell would not interest the emperor...... If Morgan had been interested in it, and he had known it so well, it would have been a terrible thing in 99 percent of the cases.

Very bad for him.

Morgan had an interest in railroads, so he was one of the railroad tycoons in the United States; Morgan has an interest in shipping, so he is the controller of the White Star Company; Morgan was interested in Edison and Tesla's research, so GE and Westinghouse Electric were his properties; Eventually, Morgan became interested in steel, so he formed American Steel.

Qin Lang didn't want Morgan to be interested in his "small" bank—but Morgan was mentioning it, which made him worried.

Although he believes that the chances of Morgan becoming interested in Tricell are slim to none, on Earth, any unlikely event has the potential to become a reality......

"Do you think it's a good idea to give a loan to Japan?"

"You mean...... Loans to Japan? Qin Lang was stunned for a moment—while he was focusing on his bank, Morgan turned the conversation in a direction he hadn't thought about at all, and even though Qin Lang was smart, it was still unrealistic to expect him to react immediately—but he still reacted quickly, only wasting a few seconds.

"Loans to Japan?" He repeated, "This is your idea, Mr. Morgan?" ”

"Strictly speaking, it's Jack's suggestion, but I've got my approval." Morgan said. For a moment, there was an imperceptible trace of regret on his face, but then it returned to normal. "After all, we all know that something is wrong with Japan's economy."

"I see." Qin Lang nodded: The next leader of the Morgan consortium had obviously become wary of his expansion speed, so he thought of such an idea to cause trouble for him.

Thankfully, it's not a hassle. It only took a little time, and Qin Lang had already thought of a new plan.

"It's a great idea." He replied.

Morgan raised an eyebrow. "Do you really think so?"

"It's a good idea." Qin Lang repeated, accentuating his tone.

It's a good idea, a very good idea. Qin Lang never imagined that he would be able to get such an opportunity to combine his series of plans to make them more perfect, and there was no longer a need to waste more energy to make them gradually become a reality.

He chuckled to himself. Thank you, Jack. Mr. Morgan, you are a good person.

Morgan, however, found his answer somewhat incredible: if he did not deliberately conceal his true thoughts, it meant that he did support a loan to the Japanese Empire. In Morgan's view, however, this was almost impossible: he was Chinese, his relations with Japan were "somewhat" bad, and the economic problems that Japan encountered were his masterpiece......

Wait, almost? Morgan thought it through. Almost. In other words, it is still possible that Qin Lang is willing to provide loans to Japan, even if he is Chinese, his relations with Japan are "somewhat" bad, and the economic problems encountered by Japan are his masterpiece...... Perhaps his purpose in destroying Japan's economy was to one day be able to lend to the country and then control its economic lifeline.

Morgan began to feel that things were getting interesting: Qin Lang proved once again that he had a long-term vision than others had estimated.

He has already shown an even higher danger than previously estimated.

Morgan got excited and raised his voice slightly. "Clearly, we are on the same page. Unfortunately, however, most of my partners and advisers did not agree with me - they insisted that the Japanese Empire was incapable of repaying the loan and that there were no suitable items as collateral. ”

"That's true, Mr. Morgan, the Japanese really can't afford to repay the loan." Qin Lang really laughed, as if he thought of something funny, "I can assure you that if you provide a loan to the Japanese Empire, its government will definitely not invest a penny in rebuilding and developing the economy, but will use all of them to complete its armament program. ”

The Japanese want to expand their living space. Like Qin Lang, Morgan understands the Japanese government's thinking, though he doesn't see any necessity for it: According to a subconscious that almost all white people have, Morgan believes that a strong yellow state is not needed in the world order established by white people.

Of course, since it still has some power on the surface, the Japanese government has the right to try to find a suitable position in the leadership of the world order, and it may even make some phased progress, but it will never succeed.

Sooner or later, one day, Japan will lose everything it has gained and crush itself.

However, this is only an inconsequential, politically related side issue. Morgan was concerned about his interests, and of course no matter whether the Japanese achieved a phased success or a failure at the outset, his interests would not be lost: no matter what the final outcome was, the Japanese government would always have to repay the loans, and if they could not pay, then they had to replace them with something of value.

For example, customs taxes.

Morgan had some interest in Japanese customs - of course, he had a higher interest in Chinese customs, but it was already controlled by the British - but customs was not all, Morgan's plan also included Japanese internal taxes, or a part of Japanese territory, or something else.

He was able to see many of the benefits that could be expected, and was sure that his son saw them as well, and made them the main goal of the plan - causing trouble to Qin Lang was just an additional benefit - unfortunately, his partners and advisors did not have such a broad horizon and were still limited to a narrow level.

What a pity. Morgan thought. However, Qin Lang was able to understand these thoughts......

Qin Lang did understand his thoughts, but that didn't mean he agreed with it. "What I want to say is that you can't expect too much from the Japanese government, Mr. Morgan." In a tone that bordered on mockery, he said, "Tokyo would rather pay its debts than hand over its economic lifeline and watch the U.S. fleet blockade Tokyo Bay." ”

"Based on the experience that Brigadier General Perry brought to us, I doubt they have the courage to do so."

"I believe the Japanese will take a risk. Those who are ambitious and have nothing to lose are always dangerous, Mr. Morgan. Qin Lang said with a smile, "And for the sake of its Far East interests, London probably will not sit idly by - in the Far East, the speed of American expansion has already aroused the vigilance of Britain." ”

Morgan stared into his eyes for a moment—he understood what Qin Lang was hiding; Luckily, Qin Lang is a smart person, and it's always advantageous to deal with smart people - and then get back to what was being discussed. "I don't think London will necessarily reach out to Tokyo, despite the fact that they are openly allies. But......" he pondered, and finally said, "I would like to hear your advice. ”

This is the moment that Qin Lang is waiting for.

"In fact," he gestured, "the Japanese have some suitable collateral items. Kinkakuji's Treasures - If you're interested in their antiques, Mr. Morgan. The smile on his face widened. But it's just a joke, and what he really means is, "What do you think of Taiwan?" ”

"Taiwan?" Morgan thought about it for a moment, and felt that the island that Japan had acquired three years ago was not that valuable. However, Qin Lang felt that it could be used as collateral...... He thought for a few more seconds, then kicked the ball back, "Do you think it's appropriate?" ”

"I think it's a perfect fit."

There is no more suitable collateral than Taiwan - for his plan, it is.
