Chapter 399: The Law of the Forest
The Japanese and the United States negotiated a number of theories and finally reached an agreement. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The U.S. provided long-term loans to the Japanese and the Japanese, who used the loan to purchase U.S. mineral resources.
Of course, this does not mean that all loans must be used to purchase U.S. supplies, and the agreement stipulates that at least 60 percent of the $1 billion annual loans received by the Japanese side must be used to purchase mineral resources.
After all, the Japanese are strapped for money, and part of the money from this loan will be used for military expansion plans.
The Americans are very happy that the agreement has been reached, and in 1938 the Japanese will spend at least $600 million on the purchase of US mineral resources, which will give a boost to the sluggish US economy.
At the very least, U.S. mining companies have business to do, and the start of machinery will drive employment, but it will also spread to other industries.
It was a ripple effect process, and even Americans began to look to the future.
It is undeniable that due to the long-term Great Depression, many enterprises in the United States have been abandoned, and in the face of such huge orders, it is still a problem whether American companies have machinery to operate.
However, this is not on topic, there is no machine to purchase, is it necessary to worry.?
The Japanese are also rejoicing, because their conspiracy has succeeded, and the dollar is about to fall into the pockets of the Japanese people.
Pit the Americans' money, which makes the Japanese people feel a kind of pleasure, well, it is a feeling similar to a woman's orgasm.
Do you have to buy the mineral resources of the Americans when you have the money?
It also depends on the specific situation, you must buy it at the beginning, at least to make a gesture to make the Yankees happy for a few days.
If the Japanese army succeeds in expanding its army, or if the situation requires it, and the Japanese army quickly occupies Southeast Asia, will the Americans still need mineral resources?
The Japanese people calculated very well in their hearts, since there are things that do not cost money, why do they need to buy the mineral resources of the United States, and pull them down.
Because of the support of the US dollar, a new round of military expansion plans between Japan and Japan was launched as scheduled.
And the Americans, faced with such a huge order from the Japanese, began to worry again.
The U.S. economy is in dire shape, and there are too few companies to keep up with orders.
Many mining companies have not had orders for a long time, or have changed careers or sold their machines, and some of the machines are even rusty and can no longer be used, in short, the situation in the United States is very bad.
Of course, this is not a problem, there is no machine to buy, you can't always put an order and not do business, right?
The Americans issued a purchase plan to give priority to domestic machines, but after so many years of the Great Depression, the American industrial system has long collapsed, and it is impossible to meet the supply in a short time.
The U.S. government was also helpless, so it had no choice but to put some purchase orders out for bidding, which was originally a matter of not flowing into the fields of outsiders, but now it had no choice but to let the fertilizer water flow out.
This thing can't wait, do you want the U.S. manufacturing industry to return to its previous state and take the purchase of machinery to extract the deposits?
This time, the external bidding was brought in by John.
Because, the competitiveness of the Jade Dragon Group is very strong, and John promises that if it can be purchased with gold, the Jade Dragon Group can discount the price by ten percent.
Ten percent of the price, this range is very attractive, and Americans are tempted.
The U.S. dollar is a currency, so is gold, and of course, it's best to be able to use the U.S. dollar.
However, Americans will never give up this 10 percent concession, which is too large.
As a result, Yulong Group grabbed the order.
Why is Fengtian so generous and gives up 10% of his profits?
The reason is very simple, the Second World War is getting closer and closer, and during the war, in addition to gold, no matter how strong the currency is, it will be finished, especially in some countries where the war occurred, their currencies are simply waste paper, what is the use?
At first glance, a 10 percent reduction in the price may seem like a lot, but when the war comes, the currency depreciates, and the price of gold will skyrocket, and a few 10 percent will be earned.
Therefore, this transaction is a loss in the moment, and in the long run, it is no more cost-effective.
The trade between the Japanese and the Americans, as soon as it changed hands, some of it came into Fengtian's pocket.
Yulong Group has a strong industrial manufacturing capacity, and in addition to the existing inventory, the shortfall can be produced quickly.
In two months, the Americans' gold was in Fengtian's pocket, and the equipment arrived on the West Coast by sea, completing a transaction of nearly $100 million.
This is also a strategy of Fengtian, which is based on the economic aspect.
Yulong Group not only adopts this strategy for Americans, but also for other countries, as long as gold is used for trading, the price of the product will be discounted.
Think about it, when the gold of each country is used up, it will inevitably buy gold in the international market to fill its own treasury or use it to buy products.
When everyone buys gold, the price will inevitably rise, and if you grasp more gold, you will naturally rise and your wealth will increase.
In this chaotic era, Feng Tiancai would not be stupid enough to exchange a large number of goods for a pile of waste paper.
Moreover, Fengtian has a long-term goal, that is, to hoard a large amount of gold in every possible way, which is a financial strategy, which Fengtian has begun to do a few years ago, and the money produced by Yulong Group in exchange for the sought-after products has been quietly absorbing gold in the international market.
The war in this world is not only limited to military war, but also the battlefield.
The difference is that the financial battlefield cannot see the smoke of gunpowder, but it is staging crazy battles all the time.
The military and the economy have always been mutually reinforcing and cannot be separated.
Without money, there is no strong military ability, and without strong military ability, even if you have money, you will eventually be plundered by others.
Neither now nor in the future, there is no escape from this fact.
Westerners pay attention to the law of longitudinal forest, you are weak and can't complain about others, you can only become the prey of others.
The world economy has been in recession for too long, and many countries are suffering from unbearable economic difficulties, and the way out lies in war, waging war to seize wealth. The fangs were sharpened enough to open their mouths for what they thought was their prey.
The Japanese have already taken the lead, and it is obvious who will be next.
In any of the Great Depressions, if a country is not a little vigilant, it must be an unlucky country.
The reason is very simple, everyone has a good life in peacetime, and no one thinks of plundering wealth through war, because it is not cost-effective, the cost is too high, and the important thing is that the general environment does not allow it.
However, when there is no way to make money, or when the country is in trouble, as a politician, I know very well that the only way to untie the knot is to wage war, plunder the wealth of other countries, and feed myself. (To be continued.) )
