·········
Now the war has been fought for two years, and there is no end in sight, and both the Entente and the Central Powers are struggling to support it.
It's like a certain exercise is about to arrive, but the big ones haven't come yet, and everyone is waiting for each other to leak first.
This kind of torment is fluttering!
In the face of the astronomical consumption of materials every day, the British could no longer stand it, a large number of ships were sent to the bottom of the sea by the German submarines, and the materials of the colonies all over the world could not be transported, so they relied on these US Treasury bonds to save their lives.
Cents! I want cents!
So now the British have become cents.
"It's an astronomical amount of bonds, $3 billion!" Robles licked his lips and said. He couldn't hide the greed in his eyes, as if he had seen a huge piece of cake.
Situ Nan didn't smack his tongue when he heard it, the British Empire has been a pirate for hundreds of years, and his family background is really not ordinary! It is no wonder that every time World War I and World War II are fought to the death, they can always hold on to the final victory.
There are a few pounds of nails in the rotten ship! What's more, this is a ship with a lot of money! The saying that the landlord's family has no surplus grain is not suitable for the British, who has ever seen that the empire with a territory spread over five continents and four oceans, an area of more than 2,000 square kilometers, and occupies the world's golden waterway, has no surplus grain?
There is surplus food, but it is just that it cannot be eaten for the time being.
Since the Battle of Jutland, the Germans' high seas fleet has been confined to the harbor of Kiel to dry in mosquitoes.
Although the Germans fought well and won as advertised, why couldn't they make it out of the Atlantic?
Maybe the location isn't right? Born in the wrong place, right?!
Germany, the big Central European country, is known as the crossroads of Europe, and that's right!
There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, and there is a super hooligan across the sea! And these hooligans are too good to fight!
All right! Since those hooligans want to block themselves and block themselves, then the German Aleng has no choice but to get out, so I won't retaliate with a tooth for a tooth? It's a big deal, everyone is back on the same level, everyone is hungry.
If the light doesn't work, the dark will come!
The British couldn't be beaten on the water, and the Germans competed with the British underwater, so the Germans sacrificed a weapon of mass destruction: submarines!
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he knows if there is one! The Germans' submarines don't even have to come out of the water, just a long obscene tube sticking out of the water, that's a lookout glass!
The captain looked forward and looked, hehe, there is a boat with a rice flag, great! The captain gave the order to fire, and the launcher in the torpedo compartment pressed the launch button, and a crackling fish shot out.
"Shhh
The captain was busy for a few seconds, two minutes... One minute... Nineteen Eighty-Seven····· One.
With a "snap", there was an exciting explosion sound from the sounder, which made the obscene Germans hiding under the water feel crooked!
They had just sent the British merchant ship to the sea.
ko!
It's so wicked!
But not always so lucky, sometimes, when the German submarine was chased by the British destroyers, it was also very good to hide under the water and be thrown depth charges.
But in general, the Germans' countermeasures have a good effect, in addition to the British island country, resources are limited, and it is impossible to play a protracted war, once the material input is cut off, it is like the pipe below is cut off. Cowardly!
Now British bankers are anxious to find agents in the United States to sell these US Treasury bonds, and of course the price will have to be carefully negotiated.
Banks will not lose money, even if they lose, the state will lose, and the state will not lose all the money of the people?
In fact, it is not easy to sell these US Treasury bonds, and although Americans are more willing to accept their own national bonds, ordinary Americans will be a little hesitant if they know that the money from these Treasury bonds is used to pay the British for the war.
At least more than 10 percent of the U.S. population is not keen to buy these bonds, as they are both hostile to the British.
Because the United States has not yet entered the war, most Americans, unlike big businessmen or big capitalists, are well-informed and see the current situation so accurately, although they hate the Germans, they do not want to make a war with the Germans.
The people are very simple, and they don't want to be involved in a dog-eat-dog war until they are threatened or instigated by others.
You must know that those who have money and power contribute their strength, and those who die in battle are their ordinary people, not those rich people with big bellies.
They really can't think of any direct connection between the war in Europe and them, and it is unlikely that they will use the US Treasury to take money out of their pockets and use it for the war. Farmers in the Midwest, in particular, have always hated the bankers in the East.
Not only that, but the farmers in the Midwest and the German-Americans also resolutely resisted the banks that bought these Treasury bonds, and most of the banks in the Midwest were small and medium-sized banks, and these banks were not interested in the big banks in the East, so before the United States entered the war, these Treasury bonds were not so easy to sell, but were hoarded and the price was reduced a lot.
In fact, these bonds can be sold after all, and they are hot sellers, but there is a time lag here. Time is really what the British lack the most, they can't afford to wait!
In the East, especially in New York, the banks are not in a hurry, it is the British who are in a hurry, and the shrewd American bankers can just drive down the price of US Treasury bonds in the hands of the British!
"Tell me about the detailed plan." Situ Nan asked.
At this time, if you still don't understand what Robles's idea is, Situ Nan can go out and go left, and then be hit by a car and die, just cross back directly.
"Now Morgan, Rockefeller, and Jacob Schiff have a tacit understanding, and they are still pushing the price of the British!
Wall Street knows this!
However, it is not easy for Morgan and Rockefeller to raise such a large amount of money for a while, so I guess he will contact other bankers on Wall Street.
If we can catch this tailwind ship this time, we will start the signboard of our Robles Securities, and the strength of our Robles Securities will be even higher, and we will be able to enter the upper echelons of the Wall Street pyramid. Robles clenched his fists with a confident expression.
"Then why don't you go to the British? Morgan they have lowered the price, and now the British are already in a hurry, we can buy part of the US Treasury bonds from them at a slightly higher price, and I believe they will not refuse. Situ Nanjian said.
"Isn't that a trivial matter? Offend Morgan by snatching food from the mouths of the predators, and be cautious about this. ”
Robles was a little hesitant in his heart, he didn't think about what Situ Nan said, but now he is not good at fighting against the bankers on Wall Street with the strength of Robles Securities.
This piece of fat is really greedy, and Robles is really reluctant to give it up.
"Do you really want to do it? Isn't it too irrational to offend Morgan's people now? ”
Robles asked.
"I see what you mean. It's not as complicated as you think. Morgan: Of course, they want to lower the price, but they want to get the US Treasury bonds in the hands of the British. Our little bit doesn't affect them. But it's better to talk to them beforehand, and it can be regarded as opening a gap for them from the British!
You think, after the British sell us a part of the US Treasury bonds, this is far from enough, and naturally they will sell it to Morgan's people, and Morgan's people will also trade with the British half-pushed.
Our presence is just a foreplay or a catalyst for their deals. Don't overthink it. The rules of survival on Wall Street, you have forgotten. The hands are fast and the hands are slow, starving the faint-hearted, supporting the bold. ”
Situ Nan cheered Robles up.
"Okay!" Robles nodded.
Situ Nan said what he wanted, and Situ Nan's reading must have just pushed him at the end.
I can drink some soup with Morgan, but it's better to pounce on it and tear a piece of meat down to eat it myself, and the wolf-like Robles has a plan and makes a decision.
Situ Nan knew that in a while, the United States would enter the war, and then the US government would issue more war bonds, and these bonds would not be handed over to Wall Street banks to sell to the American people?
Time is tight, and there is a lot of meat, and I believe Morgan and they won't mind too much about the small piece of meat that Robles took from their mouths.
At the same time, this is another good opportunity for Robles Securities to make money!
This is no ordinary business, and the fate of the country is at stake.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The stage for the Americas is a little too small for both Wall Street and the White House.
On Wall Street, only money is God! There is a long tradition that bankers' decisions can influence the policies of the White House, and sometimes presidents have had to succumb to the power of Wall Street.
How much money is there to do business, Situ Nan was aroused by Robles, and this opportunity should not be missed.
Then the two of them stayed in the room for a whole day. This thing can't be done in three or five months, and it can't be done by two people at all, so in order to be able to eat enough in the next fat distribution, Robles Securities had to urgently recruit a group of brokers.
In his past and present lives, Situ Nan is no stranger to Wall Street, and today, he is already qualified to occupy a place there.
As the major shareholder of Robles Securities, it is the first time for Situ Nan to enter his own company!
Robles Securities Company is located at No. 18 Wall Street, Manhattan, New York City, with 25 floors and more than 10,000 square meters, all of which were bought by Robles. It is surrounded by major financial institutions in the United States, very close to the New York Stock Exchange, JPMorgan Chase, Citibank and other large banks are nearby, in addition to a large number of small and medium-sized financial companies, Situ Nan just saw the famous Merrill Lynch Securities Company in the previous life is diagonally opposite Robles Securities!
Like Robles Securities, Merrill Lynch Securities Company was only established in 1914, but he did not have Robles Securities standing behind a wealthy Situ Nan, so the scale was still small enough to compare with Robles Securities.
With Situ Nan, a spoiler, it is difficult to say whether the Merrill Lynch Securities in front of him can become a world-class super investment bank like in his previous life, at least Robles Securities will always press him.
Situ Nan knew in his previous life that Merrill Lynch had always been known for his excellent financial management, and if this was the case in this life, maybe it would be good for Robles to find an opportunity to swallow him?
Wall Street plays out the myth of capital every day, and it's a heart-pounding, adrenaline-pumping game.
Some people lose, some win, some jump off buildings, some eat meat, to put it bluntly, it is a super casino, everyone depends on their ability.
The financial markets are full of intrigues and pitfalls, and if you are not careful, you will go bankrupt, and every institution here should not be underestimated, so you should be cautious enough to stay here every day.
Due to the limitations of architectural technology, the current floors on Wall Street are not high, generally twenty or thirty floors, not as many as dozens or hundreds of floors of skyscrapers as Situ Nan saw in his previous life, but standing in the office on the top floor of the Robles Securities Company building with a bird's-eye view of Wall Street, there is a sense of pride in my heart.
"It's a great feeling!" Situ Nan exclaimed.
His office is directly opposite Robles's office, and although Situ Nan rarely comes, as the behind-the-scenes boss of the company, his office is naturally magnificent.
"After sighing, we're going to have a meeting! The company's top management hasn't seen you as a big boss yet! Robles quipped that he couldn't repay the trust that Situ Nan gave him, and he could only work hard to run the company and make him a giant on Wall Street, which was also Robles's wish.
People's energy is limited, even an all-round person can not do everything well, compared with financial speculation, Situ Nan still likes to be down-to-earth in industry, after the success of industry, Situ Nan's next goal is a commercial bank.
Commercial banks are money enterprises that operate with industrial and commercial deposits and loans as their main business and for the purpose of making profits. It is different from a speculative institution like Robles Securities.
At present, most of the financial institutions in the United States, such as J.P. Morgan, Citigroup, etc., not only do speculative business, but also have commercial banks under their umbrella, forming a financial system of their own, until after the financial crisis in 1929, Roosevelt came to power and introduced a policy to prohibit commercial banks from participating in financial speculation. Morgan and Rockefeller had to separate their commercial banks.
Robles Securities also did not have its own commercial bank. In addition to Situ Nan, a big financier, his source of funds is other investors on Wall Street. Unlike Citibank, which has large branches that absorb large amounts of deposits.
Due to Situ Nan's rejection, Robles became the chairman and president of Robles Securities. Most of Situ Nan's financial affairs were handed over to Robles, and the name of a chairman was nothing in Situ Nan's eyes.
If he wants to be in the limelight, he doesn't need to snatch this hat from Robles's head, because after the success of this speculation, Situ Nan plans to set up a commercial bank, which will be mainly used as the settlement center of his own industries, just like Rockefeller used Citibank as the settlement center of Mobil, how awesome!
Now Situ Nan only wanted to leave the business of financial speculation to Robles, and he would be mainly responsible for investment in oil and other industrial fields.
However, the company's decision to re-establish itself still needs to be decided by Situ Nan, like this time the US Treasury Robles could not sit alone and had to discuss with Situ Nan before making a decision.
