Junius? Although Morgan claimed to have obtained a lot of first-hand material through the twists and turns he had gone through through many hardships and twists and turns, most of the people who read it thought that most of the content was just a kind of fantasy scene he had depicted in order to seduce the reader's eye, and he wrote about the various actions he would make after setting himself up as a superpredator who could call the wind and rain in the world financial field. However, after the publication of this huge work, it still attracted many admirers of "conspiracy theories", because "The Absolutely Unjust Game - The Great Conspiracy" has undoubtedly become a banner against the Red Revolution. So, Junius? Morgan relied on this "fantasy novel" to fulfill his youthful dream of dominating the financial world, and also to exchange it for the wealth he dreamed of.

Still, there is a real side to what he wrote. In addition to the real catastrophe brought to the United States and Britain by the economic crisis he recorded, there is also the fact that the United States Tianlong Industrial United Co., Ltd. not only did not suffer any impact in the huge disaster whirlpool, but fully seized the rare opportunity brought by this crisis, and became the largest monopoly consortium in the United States in one fell swoop in assisting the United States and the people to fight the crisis.

At the beginning, the American Tianlong Industrial United Co., Ltd. presided over by Fang Jingbo and Sang Yu was established not long ago, and it attracted the attention of all walks of life in the United States. Now, two years later, they already have the Philadelphia-based Tianlong Drilling Company, as well as the Tianlong Petroleum Company and the Tianlong Marine Company. There is also Tenron Trading Company, which specializes in import and export trade in New York. Not to mention how many shares they have in Chinese companies overseas, they have also set up a large gold mining company in British Columbia, Western Canada, and the Tendon-Chase Investment Bank was officially established in New York, and thus they have gained a firm foothold in Wall Street financial circles.

In the so-called world of free capital, wealth is coarse. Fang Jingbo and Sang Yu soon became the president of the United States, Franklin? Pierce's guest. Subsequently, they caught up with James, a Pennsylvania-born Democrat? Buchanan, aka Franklin? This line of Pierce's successors. In the next general election, the Tianlong Consortium not only actively provided election funds, but also really waved the flag for this Buchanan. As a result, Fang Jingbo and Sang Yu naturally became friends and personal business advisers of the new president.

This qiē, in any case, is enough to make any American family envious.

With the creation of the early Tianlong trading one. 23hh.cc such as silk, tea, cigarettes, wine, porcelain, and other light industrial products originating from China were brought into the United States in large quantities by Fang Jingbo and Sang Yu. With the passage of time, new explosives, which can definitely be used as a booster for the railroad frenzy in the United States, were introduced to the United States by Tianlong Commerce. Fang Jingbo and Sang Yu are business wizards, taking cigarettes as an example, under their careful operation, Chinese-made cigarettes began in American high society and spread straight to the lower classes. Among them, high-end "beauty" cigarettes have become a symbol of the status of upper-class people.

It was by taking advantage of the wealth earned in the American market that Fang Jingbo and Sang Yu purchased a large number of industrial equipment and raw materials, and sent them back to Shanghai and Tianjing in time. At the same time, they mobilized a qiē relationship and recruited a large number of technicians and scholars for the Celestial Empire from overseas. It has made great efforts for the emerging industry of the Celestial Empire.

Entering the middle of 1856. In accordance with Tianjing's secret instructions, Fang Jingbo and Sang Yu's wife, the Tianlong Group, in addition to transporting the "worthless" black oil to Shanghai, Tianjing, and later Tianjin, as before, and selling Chinese products exchanged for barter, began to study and engage in a new work -- lending money to foreign countries. They terminated the purchase of a Qiē Anglo-American industrial product, and at the same time polished all the American industrial bonds they had originally held, and instead extended large loans to the factory owners who were waiting to be fed. And the main targets of their lending are concentrated in the major steel companies in Pennsylvania, which are almost all in danger of being hit by British products, and then there are those high-quality coal mines.

The news that His Royal Highness King An led a large delegation of the Celestial Empire to France was obtained by Fang Jingbo and Sang Yu through the British banking community. At this time, the railroad construction frenzy in the United States, which already has a tendency to cool down, and the corresponding steel hoarding tide have entered the last glorious moment as if they had eaten marijuana. A large number of rails, sleepers and other railroad construction materials are being poured back and forth in the hands of profiteers, and the stock market is leading the Michigan Central Railway stock in the United States to resume its upward trend. z to the kind of scene at that time, Fang Jingbo and Sang Yu and his wife couldn't help but be moved. The couple was even reluctant to come up with any more money. To fill the growing appetite for loans to those steel mills in Pittsburgh.

However. The good times did not last long, entering February 1857. The shape shì turns sharply. Since London's major commercial banks no longer have a good economic outlook for the United States, they have begun to tighten monetary policy, and the major railroad companies in the United States have borne the brunt of it. At the beginning of March, the Michigan Central Railroad stock lost its former glory, and the price began to fall sharply first, and the other railroad stocks in the United States also entered a miserable situation due to its drag.

At this point, the fool knows it's time to take back the loan. Tianlong-Chase Investment Bank not only resolutely cut off the channel for re-lending, but also began to collect loans from steel mills and coal mines.

Soon. The news is out. The Michigan Central Railroad is no longer operational and is about to be taken over by ZF. This was followed by a series of even larger bankruptcies in American factories. The fifteenth president of the United States of America, James? Buchanan had just taken office. It was hit hard by the domestic economy.

Thereupon. In New York, he is commanding the various debt collection armies Jing Bo. Received a private invitation from President Buchanan. I hope he can go to Washington as much as he can.

"This time. Can it be good for him to ask you to go to Washington? Sang Yu helped Fang Jingbo prepare for the packing. He asked with a smile.

"Huh. Let's get through it together. Many local banks in Philadelphia are beginning to show signs of difficulty in making payments. If this wave of suspension sweeps through New York. That would be the biggest disaster in the country. It's hard to imagine what it would be like then. Fang Jingbo sighed and shook his head.

"Well deserved!" Sang Yu packed the lichen box and covered it vigorously. A pout. "As soon as I got angry at those factory owners who eat people and don't spit out bones. How black-hearted those steel mills in Pittsburgh are. Let's transfer them to the construction site as Celestial Empire workers. The salary is so pressed that it can barely feed its stomach. I inquired a few days ago. They've been doing it for a year. There are not many people left with money. Now it's all right. They can finally be liberated. ”

"Hahaha...... You......" Fang Jingbo took the box in Sang Yu's hand and walked out of the door. He took Mrs. Ground's hand and smiled. "We are also capitalists. Capitalists. To make more profits. You have to pick out the workers' land. Otherwise, we will earn someone's land. ”

"Alas...... To be a capitalist is to create evil," Sang Yu frowned and sighed. However, she soon became happy again, "I have calculated that if we work harder to collect debts, the steel mills in Pittsburgh will go bankrupt immediately, and the largest coal mine in Pennsylvania will be so poor that it can't even pay the wages of its workers." When you come to Washington this time, don't be merciful, and you must take this rare opportunity to get your hands on these factories. ”

"Oh, is Madame trying to squeeze the workers there for them?"

"you," Sang Yu glanced at Fang Jingbo and laughed hesitantly, "It's better for me to squeeze than for them." This is called fertilizer and water not flowing into outsiders' fields, you know what. ”

"Yes, yes, it's the fertilizer that doesn't flow into the fields of outsiders," Fang Jingbo smiled happily.

"I'm actually doing this for your good," Sang Yu sorted out Fang Jingbo's collar and smiled slightly, "I have to give the president a face." We have money, not to mention the rise and fall of the country, and the husband is responsible, if the president knew that we were so generous to take over those dilapidated factories for him, he would have to die beautifully. ”

"That's natural," Fang Jingbo smiled and nodded, "However, it's not yet time to accept them, and when the bankruptcy tide blows bigger, hehe, we can take these factories at the lowest price without much effort." And then do a good job of integration. As you know, most of the steel production in the United States is concentrated in Pittsburgh, and if we completely control it, we will have a monopoly on the entire American steel industry. Pittsburgh is about to become another home for us. ”

"yes...... But I ......," Sang Yu looked up at the snow-white roof and let out a long sigh, "but I still want to go back to our real home." Alas...... I don't know when that opportunity will come. ”

Lin Haifeng went to Shanghai. The fleet sailed into the Wusong Military Port, and there was no such fanaticism as Marseille on the military port, and among the crowd welcoming the return of Lin Haifeng and his entourage, in addition to Liu Lichuan, Su Sanniang, Li Xianchi, and the officers and soldiers stationed in the Wusong garrison area, there were more than 100 students and several teachers of the Shanghai No. 4 Primary School who came to visit the military port and happened to be on this occasion.

There were no cheers, no pretentious slogans, only hundreds of faces with warm smiles, but this qiē made Lin Haifeng and his party feel extremely comfortable.

After a brief greeting with Liu Lichuan, Su Sanniang and others, Lin Haifeng came to the children who were smiling like blooming flowers. He reached out and touched the little padded jacket on the child's body, patted the child's little head, and finally pulled the little pigtail on the top of the little girl's head, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you go to school, are you resting today?" ”
