Chapter 269: Li Tie returns to China

Li Tie once again stepped on the plane ready to return to China, and this time Li Tie's departure was more grand than ever before when he came to the airport to see him off.

Not only Roosevelt came, Truman came, but even Hoover, who was about to leave office, came, and he couldn't do it if he didn't come, because he was afraid that the American people would scold him for being stingy and not tolerant.

What surprised Li Tie the most was that there were countless crowds around the entire Washington Airport, and it was estimated that there must be at least hundreds of thousands of people. Li Tie was really worried that if there was a stampede, he would not be able to care.

Fortunately, the government may have also expected that Li Tie's departure today might cause a gathering of the masses, so it mobilized a large number of police and troops to maintain order early.

Moreover, in order to facilitate Li Tie's trip today, the entire Washington airport has been closed, and all flights have been suspended.

On the lawn of the airport, Presidents Roosevelt and Hoover respectively gave farewell speeches to Li Tie, and the reporters present also took pictures energetically.

Today, the editor-in-chief said that there is no limit to the amount of film, shoot casually, even if we photograph a piece of mud on Li Tie's shoes, we must use a close-up to enlarge the entire page, so that people can see what is the difference between the mud on God's shoes and the mud on the shoes of our people.

This is the Li Tie effect, in the United States now, as long as the word Li Tie is stained, it is sales, it is the manuscript fee, and it is the newspaper's big income.

These two months have been the happiest for the American newspaper industry, and never have the daily newspaper sales been as good as those two months.

You don't have to interview Li Tie in person, you just need to write some lace news about Li Tie that is different from other newspapers, and your newspaper will sell out.

In just two months, the major newspapers in the United States sold more newspapers than they sold in a year.

Not to mention those tabloids, I even earned money to count until my hands cramped. I heard that there was an unknown newspaper that simply called Li Tie Newspaper, and as a result, in just a few months, it went from a small newspaper with no name to one of the largest newspapers in Washington.

I heard that Li Tie was also fully acquired by Li Tie, and then the name Li Tie was registered as a global trademark by his fiancée, Miss Tang Mengxue, and also promoted the Ministry of Commerce to publish "Li Tie" as a proper noun to the world.

In the future, except for Li Tie himself and the media authorized by him, anyone who wants to use Li Tie's name will either pay the money or go to jail.

Looking at the lawn, Li Tie stood between Roosevelt and Hoover, holding each other with his hands crossed, and the cameras of the reporters clicked vigorously.

After pressing a roll, they picked up several other cameras hanging on their chests and pressed them again, they wanted to take pictures of today's historical moment in all directions and from multiple angles, who had seen the current and future presidents come to the airport at the same time to see them off. And it was Mr. Li Tie, the richest man in the world, who saw him off.

Therefore, in line with the idea that the opportunity is rare and hard-won, the reporters really took pictures to death, and the pain of their fingers never stopped.

Li Tie finally left in the grand farewell ceremony, and left in the farewell blessings of hundreds of thousands of American people. He will return to China as soon as possible, where there are many more important things waiting for him to deal with.

Li Tie left, but the crowd at the airport still refused to leave for a long time, and I don't know if they were really reluctant to let Li Tie leave the United States, or they were afraid that they would not come back if they were gone.

At this time, looking at the gradually smaller figure of the Huaxing, Harrison, who was standing next to Tang Mengxue, suddenly exclaimed: "It's bad, I forgot to ask Mr. Li Tie, what did he think about the matter of helping him get some gold reserves a few days ago?"

Tang Mengxue smiled and said, "It's okay Mr. Harrison, Li Tie has already entrusted me with carte blanche on this matter, and I can call the shots in this matter." ”

"Really? That's great. Hearing that Tang Mengxue could call the shots, Harrison immediately offered to send Tang Mengxue back to the Peace Hotel, and he could talk to her alone in the car.

In this way, on the way back to the Peace Hotel, Harrison and Pierce got into Tang Mengxue's extended version of the Ford sedan.

In the car, Harrison kept asking Miss Tang Mengxue how much gold they could invest in the U.S. government.

As far as he knows, Huaxing Investment has invested all its cash in the United States this time, and it seems that there is no extra money to buy gold, right?

And now countries around the world have stopped buying and selling gold because of the economic crisis. Gold is traded only in the trading of some special commodities.

Tang Mengxue took out a bottle of champagne from the car and filled it to the two of them, then said with a smile: "Tell me first, how much gold do you urgently need now?" I remember that you Fed had half of the world's gold in stock, so it stands to reason that you shouldn't be short of gold. ”

"That's different, the gold there is to sustain the U.S. economy and guarantee the credit of the dollar, and it can't be used easily. However, China's immediate economic construction will use a lot of equipment that the United States does not have, and we must import it from Europe.

However, now European countries only recognize gold, and we have preliminarily calculated that only 20 tons of gold will be needed from this year to the beginning of next year. But after next year, we will need at least 200 tons of gold to barely be enough for imports. ”

"I thought it would be as much as it was, but it turned out that only 200 tons would be enough. Li Tie has explained to me, I can get an idea within 1,000 tons, so let's borrow 500 tons from your government first.

There will be a cargo ship from China next month, and you just need to arrange for someone to pick it up. Tang Mengxue said very easily.

"Oh my God, five hundred tons or a small number?" Harrison was stunned by Tang Mengxue's breezy clouds. As if it were as casual as five hundred tons of gold, but five hundred dollars.

This reminded Harrison that a few days ago, when he was worried about the matter of gold, it was Director Hoover who instructed him to go to Li Tie, and at the same time, Director Hoover packed the ticket, saying that others may not have much gold, but Li Tie must have it, and there are quite a few of them, and it is estimated that there must be hundreds of tons.

At the time, he was not convinced. Li Tie made a lot of money in the U.S. stock market, everyone knows this, but it was Li Tie who was favored by God, who could know that he could earn two billion in more than a year.

No one thought that he could borrow chickens to lay eggs, taking advantage of the economic crisis to make a lot of money in European countries. Today, Li Tie's investment company not only has a lot of cash, but also a lot of real estate.

But whether it's the land, the minerals, and even the real estate in the major cities are rotten streets. And gold is a thing that is in demand everywhere, and that thing is not something you can receive if you have money.

So when he asked Li Tie how much gold he could provide to the government before Li Tie left, and Li Tie changed the topic very casually, Harrison thought that Li Tie had forgotten about it, but he didn't expect that people didn't take it as a big deal at all.

"This Li Tie is really rich, and his own Morgan family has also been seriously injured in this crisis. Do you want to talk to your family, anyway, Roosevelt's campaign is over, so it's better to let yourself go to work for Li Tie.

Maybe I can learn more about Li Tie's details, but I don't know if Tang Mengxue's investment company is still recruiting? I don't know if they still lack accountants or something, or they can be a department manager. Harrison is already looking for a way out of his retirement.

As soon as Li Tie, who had finally arrived in Shanghai after a long flight, returned to Huaxing Foreign Bank, he received a telegram from Dai Li, the content was very simple, and he really told him to either donate some money to avoid disasters, or go to the impossible task to prevent Japanese Manchukuo from passing through the League of Nations.

Li Tie couldn't help but laugh, he wouldn't be stupid enough to donate 100 million yuan to help Commander Jiang fight the civil war. As for this impossible task, he had already discussed it with Director Hoover of the United States. At the same time, I also said hello to Roosevelt, who were American dignitaries, and anyway, I didn't need them Americans to go to the battlefield, just send a few delegates to connect them at the League of Nations Congress, and I just raised my hands!

Therefore, Li Tie immediately sent a telegram to Dai Li, telling him that he actually did not have so much money, and that donating 10 billion yuan in the United States was also to fool the American people, and that it was a play performed by the US government and him together, with the aim of regaining the confidence of the American people.

So it's hard for him to donate 100 million yuan, how can he have so much cash? So in the end, I had to take on the task that seemed impossible.

Because compared with donating money, Li Tie believes that with his current relationship with the top level of the US government, it must be no problem for them to come forward to help China wave the flag and shout.

As for the support of several other important Western countries, there is no problem. Do you think that Western countries like to see little Japan eat alone, and they want to make some trouble for the Japanese? As long as you don't express your position, who doesn't like to do things that benefit both sides?

So when Dai Li relayed Li Tie's words to Commander Jiang word for word, Commander Jiang couldn't help but say to himself: "This Li Tie is really a great talent, and he is clear about such complex international relations."

According to his analysis, we really don't need to be afraid that the Japanese will declare the independence of Manchukuo at the League of Nations, and even then, we will give the delegates of the League of Nations a boost and let them make a bigger noise in the League of Nations. Mother Xipi, this time I also want to make little Japan unable to get off the stage.

However, when he thought that what he thought was such a complicated matter could be solved so simply, Commander Jiang was full of thoughts again: "Yunong, you said that if I send a report to Li Tie now, I will take back the errand that gave him full responsibility to prevent Manchukuo from gaining a legal status in the world."

Instead, I asked him to donate 100 million yuan to our government, do you think I will make the people look down on me if I do this? ”

Dai Li looked at Commander Jiang's remorseful look, and he really didn't know how to answer. I could only nod weakly.
