The United States at the beginning of the 20th century was also a period of very intense ideological collision. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Before the World War, the "isolationism" pursued by the United States originated from Washington, the founding father of the United States, and Washington's original intention was to establish "isolationism" to get rid of British influence on the United States.

From Washington until the end of World War, the US Government has always pursued "isolationism," always insisting that it will not form an alliance with any country, will not get involved in disputes among major powers, and will handle foreign affairs and international affairs completely independently.

By 1823, with the increase of national strength, "isolationism" gradually evolved into the "Monroe Doctrine", which advocated that the Americas were the Americas of the Americans, and that Europe should not interfere in the Americas.

Strictly speaking, the "Monroe Doctrine" is an enlarged version of "isolationism," in which the United States has expanded the scope of "isolation" from the United States to the entire Americas, and has regarded the Americas as its backyard.

After the outbreak of World War, Democratic President Woodrow Wilson tried to change the "isolationism" of the United States, proposing far-reaching "internationalism" and "multilateral diplomacy".

The essence of "internationalism" and "multilateral diplomacy" is that the US Government should change its past foreign policy of not being influenced by other countries and international institutions, not establishing and relying on alliances, and relying on its own strength to handle international affairs completely independently.

If we look at it from the perspective of the 21 st century, it is obvious that "internationalism" and "multilateral diplomacy" are more in line with the trend of social development and the development trend of the world.

But in the early twentieth century in the United States, many people did not see it that way, when Wilson returned home after the Paris Peace Conference and submitted the Treaty of Versailles, which included the League of Nations Covenant, to the Senate. Wilson asked: Do we dare to say no to it? Dare to break the hearts of the people of the world?

However, the U.S. Senate dared to hurt the hearts of the people of the world, so the United States did not sign the "Versailles Treaty," and the United States has not joined the League of Nations so far.

What a travesty thing that the President of the United States presided over the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, which led to the establishment of the League of Nations, but the United States did not sign it and did not join it.

It should be said that at this time "isolationism" was still very marketable in the United States.

The United States developed very well before the world war, and its industrial output value was already the largest in the world, because there was a lack of natural enemies on the American continent, and the United States was the hegemon of the American continent and had the power to take what it wanted.

Participation in a world war, which turned the United States from a debtor country into a creditor country, and at the same time improved the international standing of the United States, but what does this have to do with ordinary Americans?

The United States sold a large number of industrial products to Europe in the world war, as well as agricultural products, which have not even recovered their costs now, because the United States is not even eligible for war dividends without signing the Treaty of Versailles.

The wars were profited by arms dealers and big chaebols, who were now busy investing their money earned from Europe in Europe in order to complete the capital exchange.

The above has nothing to do with ordinary people, and many people believe that the United States has nothing to gain from entering the war except for a pile of debts that cannot be turned into cash, and a group of ungrateful relatives.

Politicians in the United States have always prided themselves on representing the will of the people, so Warren's campaign proposal was that the United States should withdraw from European affairs and return to isolationism.

Warren's rival, James Cox, adheres to the Democratic Party's consistent policy of internationalism and multilateral diplomacy.

As a company with dual backgrounds in France and Lanfang, the federal bloc should actually support the open and radical Democratic Party, but from the actual interests of Lanfang, the federal bloc still chose the relatively conservative Republican Party.

So when Warren said that the federal bloc was willing to fund Warren's campaign with $10 million in cash, Simon Allen was satisfied to see the surprise in Warren's eyes, the shock in Weeks' eyes, and even the taciturn Mellon, Simon Allen noticed the surprise and vigilance in Mellon's eyes.

It is true that Wicks is an exchange manager, but it is just a role similar to that of a "professional manager" in another space, and the authorization given to Wicks by the Morgan Group has always been limited.

And although Mellon is strong, if he wants to come up with 10 million dollars at a time, he will still feel pain.

The presidential campaign in this era is not as crazy as in the 21st century, with billions of dollars at every turn, and 10 million dollars in this era can cover almost all of Warren's campaign expenses, enough for Warren to defeat James Cox, and there will be a slight surplus.

Simon Allen's grasp of human nature is still very good, how to say the sentence in "The Godfather": give him a reason that he can't refuse.

Simon Allen certainly hasn't seen The Godfather, but that doesn't stop Simon Allen from understanding what that means.

Of course, the higher the price, the greater the gain, which is why Mellon is wary of the federal bloc.

"Then my friend, thank you for your generosity, I think we will be the best friends, and the federal group will get what we want for the next four years." Warren is indeed a wreck, and he is not very wary of the federal group, and sells his official position with a near-open attitude.

"Don't get me wrong, my friend, the federal group has already obtained what it wants, you know, the federal group has made profits in the United States, so it is right to return the United States, we just want an opportunity, an opportunity to give back to society, and next, we will have more investments in public services and infrastructure, and what we want is a fair opportunity, yes, the federal group has a French and Lanfang background, but the federal group is a company registered in the United States, and we have not hidden any income, Our tax department can stand up to any scrutiny, so we deserve to be treated fairly. Simon Allen was a bit vague and didn't come up with any specific terms.

Even in the 21st century, the United States' "local protectionism" is still very serious, look at those "anti-monopoly" and "anti-dumping" investigations at every turn, China levies more additional taxes on luxury jewelry? The United States also levied a lot on certain key products!

The Federalist is growing at a rate of unbelievable speed in the United States, but in many states, it is still struggling, and in a few states in the West, even the Federal Motor wants to set up a specialty store.

The same is true for federal biology, although nylon products have not yet been marketed, but the profits obtained by penicillin are enough to make people red, just recently, the United States Congress has a voice to conduct a monopoly investigation on federal biology, if it is confirmed that federal biology has monopoly behavior, then federal biology will be forced to disclose patents.

This is unacceptable to Qin Zhiyuan no matter what, in this regard, Federal Biology has a response plan, once the monopoly investigation is confirmed, Federal Biology will close all factories and withdraw from the United States business, then if Americans want to use penicillin in the future, they can only import it from Canada and Mexico or from Europe.

Federated Biotech is in a period of rapid growth, and its business in the Americas will certainly not be limited to the United States, where Simon Allen is working to open more factories.

In fact, compared with the United States, those countries in South America have a greater demand for penicillin because of the relative lag of economic development and poor health conditions, although South American countries are not as rich as the United States and Canada, but because of the larger population and larger market, Simon Allen has better expectations for the South American market than the American market.

Having said that, it is enough, even if Warren wants to compensate the federal group, it will be a matter for the future, and there is no need to list them all now.

Warren apparently had someone else to receive, and at Mellon's suggestion, Simon Allen temporarily withdrew.

"I heard that the Federal Group is interested in banks?" After going out, Mellon seemed nonchalant.

"That's right, I want to set up a bank, mainly to handle the flow of money within our group." Simon Allen doesn't hide it.

With Mellon's strength in New York, it is not difficult to know what is going on in the Federal Group, and the Mellon family is involved in the banking industry itself, and their family bank is one of the 25 strongest banks in the United States.

"Tsk, money exchanges!" Mellon sighed again and again.

Simon Allen's inadvertent revelation of the information really shocked Mellon, how huge the amount of money must be, and it needs a bank to deal with it!

Simon Allen did not respond to Mellon's exclamation, the Federal Group and the Mellon family's banks also have business dealings, of course, not all, the Federal Group has business dealings with many banks.

"The Mellon family is also interested in federated creatures." Mellon didn't talk about the bank, and instead started talking about federal creatures.

With the strength of the Federal Group, if you want to set up a bank, you don't need to ask anyone, there are enough professional managers on Wall Street, and the Federal Group only needs to find a suitable person, and then it only needs to pay money, and soon, the Federal Group will have a bank of its own.

The reason why Simon Allen approached the Morgan family before was more to strengthen ties with the Morgan family, if it was just for a bank, the federal group would not have that need.

"A lot of people are interested in federal creatures, but of course they don't have the right leverage." Simon Allen is not in a hurry, the Federation creatures are like a mountain of gold, as long as the Federation creatures are controlled, the prey will continue to come to the door.

"How's Alcoa?" Mellon looks like it's inevitable.

Alcoa, formerly known as Pittsburgh Electrolytic Aluminum Company, controls aluminum production in North America and, like Federal Biologics, dominates the "aluminum" industry.

Mellon's meaning is very clear, that is, to exchange Alcoa's shares for the shares of Federal Biologics, and once cross-control can be reached, then the Federal Group will be closely linked to the Mellon family.

"Alcoa is great, but it's not enough." Simon Allen has confidence.

More than a decade ago, Alcoa's stock was worth $150 million and has now doubled.

The Mellon family controls 60 percent of Alcoa's stock, and if the Mellon family wants to maintain an advantage on the board, the Mellon family can take up to 9 percent of Alcoa stock.

It seems that Alcoa is indeed very valuable, but compared with Federal Biological, Alcoa is much inferior, and the profit of Federal Corporation has exceeded $150 million in the first year since its establishment, which is not an order of magnitude at all.

If there is a share swap, then 9 percent of Alcoa stock owned by the Mellon family can be exchanged for up to 2 percent or 1 percent of Federal Biotech.

That should also be based on the premise that the federal biology has been listed, you know, the federal biology has not been listed yet, if the federal biology is listed now, the stock market value is estimated to soar, will reach an astonishing level.

Many people are looking at the ability of Federated Biotech to attract gold, and they have been waiting for Federated Biotech to go public, as long as it is listed, Federated Biotech's stock will become the darling of Wall Street, there is no doubt about it.

"So, what if you add Bank of New York Mellon?" Mellon really spared no expense.

Bank of New York Mellon & Co., which is part of the Bank of New York.

Mellon's main business is not deposits and loans, but wealth management and wealth custody, to put it bluntly, it is a large professional manager company.

In the future, it is precisely because of the Bank of New York Mellon that Mellon's son will concentrate on running the museum left by Mellon, and leave all the family business to professional managers to take care of.

"Yes, I wonder if you're interested in airplanes?" Simon Allen didn't want to continue discussing the federated creatures, but moved in the other direction.

Alcoa plus Bank of New York Mellon is enough to represent Melllon's sincerity, Simon Allen doesn't want to dwell too much on this issue, the follow-up is the business scope of the think tank, and Simon Allen only needs to reach an agreement with Mellon to complete the task.

Simon Allen's main task is to develop new businesses, and the aviation industry is the next target of the Federal Group.

Like Lanfang, the United States also has a huge territory, from the east coast to the west coast, and it would be too inconvenient to rely only on ships and trains, so the aviation industry has a bright future in the United States.

As far as the United States is concerned, the aviation industry is still in its infancy, and Boeing and Lockheed have not yet formed a scale, and if the federal bloc is now involved in the aviation industry, then it will definitely be able to take the lead.

At present, the best aircraft in the world is in Lanfang, there is no doubt about this, and the Federal Group has a Lanfang background, if the Federal Group introduces the latest Y-3 of Lanfang Royal Airlines, it will be a devastating blow to the nascent Boeing and Lockheed, you know, Boeing and Lockheed are now even in the seaplane stage.

Lanfang's transport aircraft has now developed to the third generation, with more powerful transport capabilities, longer range, and a more stable air attitude, which completely explodes Boeing and Lockheed seaplanes.

"Sounds great!" Like Simon Allen, Mellon is interested in the aviation industry.

Hmmm, it's good if you're interested! (To be continued.) )
