He spent a month in the United States, spilled $3 billion in capital, and reached hundreds of agreements. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The largest of these was, of course, China's Great Southwest Hydropower Development Project, which ended the dispute with the direct intervention of Roosevelt and Yang Chao.

The Americans are not seeking the power of general contracting, China has also conceded considerable interests, and the construction is still the responsibility of the Chinese, but American technicians can be hired as consultants to form a joint team.

The United States can share the equipment orders, half of the equipment of China's hydropower units will be imported from the United States, General Electric, Westinghouse designed and manufactured equipment, and the other half will be licensed by technology, produced by Siemens in Shandong. It even involved American engineering companies in all concrete damming projects.

In the end, the total investment is expected to be $10 billion, and Americans will share in the profits of $5 billion, which is enough to make the U.S. government excited if not during the Great Crisis.

In other respects, there are also small collaborations, most of which are not worth mentioning, but are not necessarily unimportant.

For example, Yang Chao personally visited Lockheed, funded to help Lockheed establish an aircraft company again, and bought a 10% stake in Boeing for $10 million.

Among them, the cooperation with Lockheed is full of oriental warmth.

Lockheed withdrew from China because of China's anti-American bill.

After returning to the United States, using its R&D experience and technology in China, as well as the huge capital from the sale of the company, Lockheed established a new aircraft company in the United States.

It is a pity that the aircraft market shrank after the war, and he could not compete with Boeing and other companies with a deep background in the United States.

After Yang Chao visited Lockheed, he first reviewed the beautiful cooperation of the year.

The down-and-out Lockheed also misses the era when he didn't have to think about the market, almost had unlimited R&D funds, and could fully display his technical talents, but in the United States, he had to receive fierce market competition.

After Yang Chao proposed cooperation, Lockheed of course agreed, so Yang Chao invested 3 million, Lockheed with technology and management, enjoy 30% of the shares, the establishment of Lockheed Aircraft Corporation in the United States, and close cooperation with China's Lockheed Corporation, joint research and development of a medium bomber.

The reason why China's Lockheed Corporation, led by Wang Zhu, has always insisted on not changing its name is that Wang Zhu, a technical element, believes that it is unfair to Lockheed because he accepts the company and inherits a large amount of technological heritage researched by Lockheed, so he is unwilling to change its name.

Now after Yang Chao helped Lockheed re-start his business, Wang Zhucai was relieved and accepted Yang Chao's proposal, and China's Lockheed officially changed its name to Wang Zhu Aircraft Manufacturing Company, and launched comprehensive cooperation with Lockheed Aircraft Company of the United States.

In addition, it also signed a new cooperation with Boeing, Yang Chao needs to use Boeing's technology to upgrade the Chinese-made Aerial Fortress four-engine long-range bomber, LW3 long-range bomber, the combat radius is less than 1500 kilometers, resulting in the war, Yang Chao can not let it directly bomb Novosibirsk from Irkutsk, Yang Chao asked this aircraft to be upgraded to a combat radius of 3000 kilometers, that is, the level of the B29 Super Aerial Fortress during World War II in the United States.

After all, the Americans have the most powerful aviation research and development force, especially Boeing, they have actually started the development of the B17 bomber, which is very similar to the Chinese LW3 aircraft, and the performance is also comparable.

This is also one of the reasons why Yang Chao cooperated with Boeing, because he believes that instead of letting Boeing complete the research and development of the B17 aircraft independently, it is better to directly license the production of China's LW3 to Boeing, so that their technical strength can be used in the development of the next generation LW4, so that the B29 will say goodbye.

It is equivalent to blocking the way for Boeing to independently develop large bombers, for Boeing, to get the authorization of the LW3, they can meet the needs of the US military with a slight modification, and put all their forces into the next generation of research and development, which will allow them to continue to lead in the field of American aviation, which can be described as a win-win situation.

In addition, there is a helium purchase contract with Rockefeller, and since the severance of relations with the United States, Chinese airships have been forced to switch to hydrogen; Also in cooperation with Alcoa in the United States to produce several aluminum alloys, up to now, China is still the world's leader in the aluminum alloy industry, based on Yang Chao's more than a dozen aluminum alloy formulas, Shandong Aluminum continues to research and development, technology accumulation and reserves, far from being comparable to other countries.

With these agreements reached, Yang Chao's mission to the United States is complete, and his next stop will be Mexico.

China doesn't have much interest in Mexico, but it can't be ignored, but it has had a slight impact in recent years, because after China introduced the silver standard, China, which was originally Mexico's largest silver importer, suddenly stopped importing silver, which made Mexico's foreign trade lose a lot.

However, the business of overseas Chinese in Mexico has developed very well, such as Kang Youwei, who has purchased a large number of commercial properties in major commercial cities in Mexico, and can be called the real estate king of Mexico. In addition, there are many Chinese businessmen in major cities in Mexico, and they are second only to the United States in foreign business groups.

But these are small businesses, and what Yang Chao really cares about is actually Mexico's oil.

Mexico's oil production developed very rapidly in the 20s, and in 20 years he was able to meet 20% of the oil consumption in the United States, and in 21 years, Mexico's oil production reached 193 million barrels, which is the world's largest oil producer except for the United States, but it is a pity that Mexico's oil is controlled by British and American capital, which accounts for 96% of Mexico's oil production, and Mexican's local capital accounts for only a pitiful 1%, which is not even comparable to Dutch companies.

Anglo-American capital has plundered 2 billion barrels of oil from Mexico over the years, worth $4 billion, and Mexicans have less than a tenth of the benefits.

All these made Mexicans very unfriendly to Britain and the United States, which is why Yang Chao visited Mexico.

Because the current president of Mexico, Cárdenas, will nationalize Petromex in a few years, then is the time for Yang Chao to take action, and now is just to warm up.

After staying in Mexico for three days, I praised the richness of Mexican resources with ulterior motives, and lamented that the Mexican people are really very happy to live in such a rich country, but the face of the Mexican president turned green, Nima, those properties have been plundered by Britain and the United States.

After leaving Mexico, Yang Chao flew directly to Brazil.

Brazil is the main focus.

President Vargas had stabilized the country, he came to power in a coup d'état, and in just a few years, he fought two wars against the agricultural monopoly oligarchy, although not on a large scale, and it was he who suppressed the rebellion of the farmers.

Through the war, he dismantled many of the big farmers in São Paulo and Minas, nationalized their farms, and then distributed them to the poor, winning much praise.

This is a politician through and through, but the worldview is industrial, and he believes that the future of Brazil lies in industry.

In recent years, the southern Okawa state, which is mainly composed of German and Italian immigrants from relatively developed industries, has strengthened exchanges with Germany, and has also accepted many German immigrants during the Great Crisis, and has carried out close cooperation with large German companies.

For example, Krupp is now their second largest importer of iron ore, importing 10 million tons of Brazilian iron ore per year, second only to China's 20 million tons, while Krupp exports another 8 million tons of steel to Brazil every year.

However, Vargas was unwilling to always export iron ore in exchange for Krupp's steel, and he negotiated with Krupp many times, hoping that Krupp would help Brazil build its own steel mill, but it was delayed until World War II, and his steel mill was not established.

Krupp's purpose was clear, it was to drag, and then sell their steel.

But the Germans refused to help, the Chinese willing, and before Yang Chao's visit, he had reached an agreement with Vargas through diplomatic channels to sign a cooperation in a steel plant.

China also does not seek control of the Brazilian steel industry, but is responsible for providing a full set of technology and equipment, and sending technicians to train Brazilian workers so that Brazil can have its own steel industry.

Of course, cooperation is not limited to the steel industry, but what is Vargas, a nationalist, going to build a steel plant?

He was not used to beat nails, but to build cannons and warships, he was a soldier, he was a soldier who supported him to come to power, and he had a strong military poison complex.

Then Yang Chao gave him artillery manufacturing technology, helped him build a shipyard, and helped him develop the Brazilian military.

In all cooperation, the Chinese side does not occupy any shares, and all of them are wholly owned by Brazil, or even state-owned by the Brazilian government.

Vargas's means of promoting Brazil's industrialization was to use nationalization, raise taxes externally, and build factories internally, which was eventually called import substitution industrialization.

At the same time, it was also passed that the law required foreign companies to hold no more than 30% of the shares in Brazilian industry, which resulted in the expulsion of British and American capital from Brazil, and was almost attacked by the United States as an ally of the Nazis in World War II.

Why did Vargas industrialize, why did he build a military industry, to put it bluntly, not because of that little big power complex in the hearts of nationalists? There are such people in every country, and there are quite a few of them.

What will they do when they become stronger? It's not a struggle for hegemony, and the Brazilians who are fighting for global hegemony probably don't have the courage to do so, but it's exciting to think about establishing hegemony in South America and then plotting for hegemony over the entire Americas.

Why did Yang Chao go to Mexico to make a nail, that is, why should he support Brazil now, even if he knew that once this kind of nationalist wings hardened, it would definitely be unfavorable to Chinese immigrants, and it was not to worry about the Americans, the United States has no opponents on this continent, which is really undeserved.

Roosevelt said that destroying China's financial system is to promote China's self-strengthening, and Yang Chao felt that creating a few enemies for the United States is also to make the American people forge ahead. (To be continued.) )
