It is also well known that San Francisco has heavy industry ambitions, but its raw material sources are controlled by East Coast conglomerates. In addition, once the East Coast car companies rise, it will have a huge impact on Ambrera Motors, the east is the largest market, local production will reduce costs, if Ambrera cannot set up a factory in the east, its transportation costs and raw material costs will collapse it. Of course, forcing Ambrera not to set up factories in the east was an important part of the talks.

However, the existence of the San Francisco consortium is to serve Huaguo and make up for the lack of industrial capacity in Huaguo, and Lu Liang does not care about the American market, he needs a large amount of steel, which is the fundamental principle of the plan.

"It seems that we have formed a preliminary tacit understanding, Mr. George's generosity is admirable, I wonder what other conditions Mr. George has?" Morgan asked.

"I'm already very satisfied with your support, but the question now is whether you have any other conditions?" Lu Er said.

Rockefeller smiled slightly: "Mr. George is really wise, we need the market of Huaguo." As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the reception room was stagnant, Huaguo is the foundation of the San Francisco consortium, and Rockefeller, or other consortiums, if they want to get a piece of the pie, they will not agree to it.

Lu Er can understand their thoughts, since the 30s of the 19th century, the United States has experienced great economic development, and after the Civil War, its strength has become stronger and stronger, and it has gradually become the world's largest industrial country. However, by the beginning of the twentieth century, the internal market had been carved up, and the capacity to continue to expand was limited, otherwise they would not have been eager to expand the automotive industry. In addition, after Theodore Roosevelt became president, he began to implement the "Monroe Doctrine" and expand abroad, the essence of which was to find a place to tilt for the huge domestic production capacity. However, the world market is dominated by the old European colonial empires, and there is nothing to do with the United States. How could Britain, an empire on which the sun never sets, allow the United States, an upstart, little brother, to enter its colonial market?

Therefore, the San Francisco consortium has opened up a situation in China, which has made Americans happy, allowing it to easily control the power on the West Coast and move closer to the core of political power, which shows that the United States is now eager for overseas markets. The Latin American market is too small, and it can't be compared to a country with unlimited demand. For example, in 1904, China imported 3.5 million tons of steel. More than 30,000 units of various machinery and equipment have been imported, and more than 50 million US dollars of aluminum, iron ore and other minerals have been imported, second only to Canada and Mexico to become the second largest trading country in the United States.

With such a big market and such a big profit, it is basically controlled by the San Francisco consortium, so it's no wonder that the consortiums are reaching out. However, they couldn't imagine that Lu Liang would like the United States to expand exports to China, and Lu Er's heart almost blossomed after hearing Rockefeller's implicit threat!

In those days, steel production capacity was limited. It is a strategic resource, and although the Americans do not care about other factors and sell everything, the need for steel in the world is very great. In a seller's market, Americans' steel resources are scarce, otherwise Lu Er would not have built a large steel plant on the West Coast.

"This is our lifeline, which I believe you can understand, the Chinese market is increasing every year, and the prospects are unlimited. And China is going through a big war. The performance is eye-catching, and it is not difficult to imagine that the country will be unified in a short time. And take a place in the Far East. ”

"Of course, it is precisely because of the broad prospects, even more than the profits brought by the automobile industry, that our San Francisco consortium does not dare to monopolize it. If you want to join this market, you need certain conditions. ”

"Mr. George, just mention." The most impatient was Rockefeller. It may have something to do with his character.

You said it yourself, so don't blame me for opening my mouth! Lu Er hid his smile, now is the critical moment, you have to hold back!

"Before I say anything about our conditions, I want to say something unrelated. Day before yesterday. Philip Lehman and Marcus Goldman Sachs from New York came to visit me at Hongfei Estate, hoping to make a difference in the automotive and Chinese markets. ”

One stone startles a thousand waves! This is big news, damn big news! George said that it has nothing to do with it, in fact, this news has the closest relationship with them, and it is a matter of life and death!

Morgan, who had been smiling, frowned, and Rockefeller even used a whole glass of red wine to hide his uneasiness, and the others also had different expressions, but they could see the anxiety in their hearts.

Who are Lyman and Goldman Sachs? Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, Kuhn Leber, etc. are all well-known financial institutions in New York, these people come from small traders and peddlers, and they have one thing in common, they are all Jews, and another thing in common, their companies are all branches of the Rothschild family in the United States!

If you want to figure out the relationship, you have to start from the beginning, the United States began to build infrastructure in the thirties of the 19th century, but the United States was poor at that time and needed to borrow money from European banks. At that time, the United States was in the same position in the world as China in the seventies and eighties, and it was a place with relatively risky investments, and most European banks were waiting and watching. German Jewish bankers and German immigrant Jewish bankers saw this as an opportunity to support American investment in railroads and canals, among other things, and the result was, of course, very profitable. Of course, the European banking industry is basically controlled by the Rothschilds, and the so-called investments can also be counted as investments by the Rothschilds.

During the Civil War, the Jewish consortium made a lot of war money, and naturally formed a strong alliance through marriage. Rockefeller and Morgan also made their fortunes through the war, and they also borrowed money from the banks of the Jewish consortium, which at the time was greatly restricted by the Jewish consortium.

Later, the two families grew and began to break free from the control of the Jewish consortium and try to defeat the consortium. Neither Rockefeller nor Morgan were Jews, but belonged to the "WASP," the Anglo-Saxon immigrants, and later more to include the descendants of white immigrants, but not Jews.

The Rothschilds in Europe were weakened by their control over the United States due to their family-style management and scarcity of personnel, as well as several strategic miscalculations, and the WASP took the opportunity to rise until now.

In other words, the consortium in the reception room represents the WASP forces, and although more or less involved with the Jewish consortium, it is essentially a competitive relationship. (The so-called Rockefeller and Morgan are both Jews is simply nonsense.) The idea that two families controlled the United States, and that Rothschild controlled two families, collapsed after World War I. ）

This is also the reason why there is no representative of the Jewish consortium in the reception room, and Morgan and others cannot but be nervous when they hear that the Jewish consortium has found George. These eight major consortia really controlled the United States after two world wars, and now their strength can be said to be in their childhood, except for the two major families of Rockefeller and Morgan, the rest of the consortia are relatively weak.

"George, you are not a Jew, you deserve to be on our side, those vampires are greedy and the greed never ends, and cooperating with them is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger!" Morgan's words began to weaken, as if to persuade George in the tone of an elder. In fact, a large part of the funds for the rise of the two families also came from the Jews.

"Ladies and gentlemen, of course I'm on your side, so I turned down both Lehmann and Goldman Sachs, and that's why we had this meeting. This country was founded by WASP, and we hold the power and public opinion, and we should take the initiative economically. We would like to introduce you to the Chinese market, but President Lu Liang on the other side of the strait told me that they need more steel to build railroads, more steel to build factories, and more steel to build ships. Therefore, you need to exert political influence to relax the restrictions on steel exports to China and expand the scale of steel exports to China. In addition, President Lu Liang is dissatisfied with the discrimination against Chinese in the United States, even if the "Chinese Exclusion Act" is repealed, there is still a large number of discrimination against Chinese, which requires us to adopt some policies to reduce the occurrence of this phenomenon. I believe that everyone has enough say in the parliament, and it is not difficult at all. ”

As long as he can make a profit, Rockefeller is willing to offer the Chinese as a father! Of course, this is no problem, everyone is very satisfied with Lu Er's attitude, unexpectedly relaxed, the automobile industry and the Chinese market can be involved, and the payment is very small, and the San Francisco consortium is unexpectedly soft.

No one had the appetite to enjoy a meal until the end of the talks, and at this point the talks reached a tentative agreement, and everyone could finally relax. At George's invitation, everyone enjoyed an open-air dinner, which was festive and lively under the strong aroma of the vineyard and the good mood.

That night, the consortium signed a secret agreement that clearly delineated the obligations and powers of both parties, and everyone returned satisfied. This time, Lu Er and the consortium bosses all got what they wanted, and then Lu Er sent the results of the meeting to Lu Liang as soon as possible. This news is very important for China, which means that the United States will make up for the huge capacity gap for China, and its resources and industrial products will greatly reduce the difficulty of China's industry. The United States has become a hidden ally of China, and major conglomerates will exert influence to make all levels of the United States attach importance to its interests in China.
