Volume IV Boom 39 Gold Loans

The United States is much stronger than Japan, but according to the Washington Naval Treaty, in the Pacific, the Japanese Combined Fleet is stronger than the American Pacific Fleet, at least in terms of naval tonnage.

The U.S. side is opposed to this, but the government's open door and economic benefits in China have persuaded the military to accept this fact.

You can't win 'em all. Just as the three countries intervened in the past, Japan withdrew from Shandong, but also received economic support from the United States. This is mainly reflected in the growing ties between Wall Street and Tokyo.

At a meeting of the board of directors of New York City Flag Bank, Mr. Situ did not say a word, and listened to a bank executive discuss the benefits of lending to Japanese companies, with the surrounding directors nodding their heads from time to time.

The relationship between Wall Street and Tokyo is somewhat contradictory, with fear of Japanese expansion in the Pacific and loans to Japanese companies for profit.

On the one hand, the Japanese hated or hated Wall Street, and on the other hand, they tried their best to get money from Wall Street to build various industries.

Doing business with people you hate is the real capitalist, and profit is the first and most important one.

Situ Nan watched the Jewish manager's incessant generous statements encouraging loans from Japanese companies, and felt a little emotional. More than a decade later, after the rise of that madman in Germany, the Jewish capitalists in the United States continued to lend money to Germany, and the Germans got the money and went crazy to persecute those Jews.

Reason and emotion, sometimes people really have nothing to say.

The meeting was a success, and Situ did not object to the New York City Bank granting a loan of $300 million to Tokyo. But there may be more to come.

"Mitsubishi seems to have its eye on the United States' steel technology, do you want to sell some to them?" Situ Nan thought to himself. Generally speaking, U.S. loans come with a requirement that the other party purchase U.S. products.

"Hey. Stoney, what are you thinking? Could it be that a new oil field was pointed out? After the meeting was dismissed, little Rockefeller walked over with a smile and looked at Situ Nan with a smile.

"John, you're joking. Mobil and Exxon have a big business, what do you want and can't buy it? Situ Nan said with a smile.

"Not necessarily. At least I can't buy some shares in Occidental Petroleum if I want to, why doesn't Stoney want the big guys to make some money? ”

was said by Rockefeller Jr., and many bigwigs who had not left the table had their eyes lit up, and looked at Situ Nan with some expectation.

"Yes! Morgan & Co. is very willing to have customers like Western companies, and when it goes public, it is forgotten about my brother. Morgan laughed. At most, we don't need commissions. ”

"Stoney, you are a shareholder of our bank, and the fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders, so you should also consider the City Bank of New York." The bank manager who had just spoken enthusiastically admonished.

". are all eyeing Lao Tzu's oil company. Situ Nan scolded secretly in his heart. He's not going to let these people get away with it.

"Very good idea, worth considering. Recently, I happened to be short of money, and I have a good project, if I am interested, we will find a place to talk about it in detail. Situ Nan skimmed the oil companies' discussions, using a mysterious project to divert their attention elsewhere.

"Come to my estate, I've gotten a lot of good things from Europe lately, would you like to appreciate them?" Morgan seemed very interested and invited Situ Nan to his home as a guest. ////( n)

"Of course." Situ Nan readily agreed.

Morgan Manor is noble and luxurious, just like he is. When he entered the door, Situ Nan looked at the tight security around him, and couldn't help but joke about Morgan Dao beside him.

"Jack, it seems that you have a shadow, is it possible that the emperor of Wall Street is frightened by a few extremists?"

"You try to be assassinated by someone running into your house, sitting in the office and suddenly a bomb flies over to see!" Morgan glanced at Situ Nan with some anger.

"Haha. Don't be so strict? It's just a joke. Situ Nan is not afraid of the legendary earth-shattering momentum of this Wall Street emperor, and he is a little familiar.

Compared with the unsmiling little Rockefeller who was cultivated by the old Rockefeller Puritan, Situ Nan got closer to this hedonistic Morgan.

"Who called Morgan the name is too loud. Some people are born to be jealous and hated by others because they are so good. Situ Nan was a little narcissistic.

"That's just as well." Morgan nodded reservedly, graciously admitting that he was the kind of person Situ Nan was talking about.

Upon entering, Morgan showed off his collection to Stuart. When he took out a delicate and luxurious Bellfa Easter egg, Situ Nan couldn't help but be moved.

"Jack, I want this." Situ Nan couldn't put it down while holding the easter egg. He's one more than enough to make a set.

"Why?" Morgan asked with some flesh.

"My Alice has just come to earth, and this one can be brought back to make toys for her, Uncle Morgan won't be so stingy, right?" Situ Nan looked at Morgan with a little disdain, holding it in his hand, without the slightest intention of returning.

". This kid has a slippery head. Lao Tzu spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy it from a collector? However, Situ Nan asked him for it in the name of his daughter, and he really couldn't refuse, after all, everyone knew each other so well.

"I'm so sad, poor Alice has no toys left." Situ Nan looked at Morgan with some pity.

"Damn it, you bastard." Morgan stumbled and gestured a middle finger at Stuart.

Well, this action was also transmitted to him by Situ Nan.

"Hahaha." made a little fuss, and the relationship between the two became closer again. Although the two have never been soldiers or joined the party, they have had several friendships with prostitutes, and their feelings are still relatively familiar.

Almost every time Stuart Nan would take something from Morgan, an easter egg was really not worth much to them. Situ Nan also gave back a lot of good things to Morgan.

Before he had enough strength, he would not challenge Morgan's position on Wall Street, but instead participated in several actions of Morgan's organization several times. Part of the money for this loan to the Japanese came from Robles Securities. Because - interests.

Seeing the easter eggs, Situ Nan couldn't help but think of the Tsar's gold, so he asked: "Jack, I heard that the Tsar had hundreds of tons of gold stored in foreign countries before his death, right?" ”

"Huh? Why are you asking about this?" Morgan looked at Situ Nan with some curiosity, wondering if Situ Nan had heard something? Otherwise, with Situ Nan's untreasured and ungreedy personality, he would not have inquired about this matter.

"Isn't it just curiosity? A young man like me naturally has to rely on a big brother like you for guidance. Haven't there been quite a few Romanov royals popping up in Paris lately? What other Russian princess wanted to get back the gold from the bank but was refused, and I don't know if it's true or not. Situ Nan said with a smile.

"Hmm. That's right. The declining aristocracy of Paris tried to maintain their nobility, but they were left with nothing more than a beautiful shell. Speaking of which, those Soviets are really terrifying. Morgan said with affection.

"Yes. They're kind of annoying, but they're victorious, aren't they? Situ Nan said lightly that the United States has just experienced a wave of strikes, and although it is not like Russia that kills capitalists with money, the workers' sense of struggle has increased a lot.

"I think that in the future, the capitalists in the United States will increase the welfare benefits of workers, such as buying insurance for them, shortening working hours, and so on, so that the power of the trade unions can be greatly weakened, and even the unions will be cleared out of the factories."

Situ Nanjian yì road.

"Insurance, it's a good thing!" Morgan's eyes lit up.

Insurance is not something that ordinary people can afford now, and insurance companies in the United States generally do not provide personal guarantees, and are more aimed at commercial insurance, such as marine transportation. Personal insurance is only available to those who are wealthy.

Listening to Situ Nanyi, Morgan felt aware of the market for personal insurance. At least big companies like American Steel and Bethlehem Steel are willing to buy insurance for their employees, because for the capitalists it is just money flowing from one pocket to another.

"What? Interested? Situ Nan asked with a smile when he saw Morgan's move.

"That's a good idea. Maybe we can work together. Morgan said.

"No problem." Situ Nan said briskly.

After some discussion, under Situ Nan's suggestion, Morgan was willing to let William Financial Holdings take a stake in Morgan's New York Life Insurance Company. The Morgan consortium holds 45% of the shares, and William Financial holds 35%.

William Financial Holdings does not participate in the management, and each dividend will buy shares in the insurance company. Until 10 years later.

"By the way, what happened to Tsar Gold?" Situ Nan asked again.

"Why do you keep asking that?" Morgan was more curious.

"Haha. Recently my men returned from a trip to the Far East, and they found that the Japanese suddenly trembled, as if they had received a lot of gold from Kolchak. ”

"Oh. No wonder Tokyo is so confident this time, it turns out that they have the bottom in their hearts. Unfortunately, the Japanese market will not be able to open up a little bit for the United States. Morgan sighed. Wall Street does not have the idea of taking out loans to control the Japanese economy.

"That's not the point, the point is that Kolchak is dead, and the rest of the gold in his hand is gone. Some say it fell to the bottom of a Siberian lake, some say it was hidden, some say it was a foreign country. I wonder if the tsars had previously deposited gold in foreign countries. Situ Nan insisted.

"Does it matter?" Morgan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It's important." Situ Nan nodded.

"There are quite a few. Most of the foreign deposits in Tsarist Russia before the war were in Europe, mainly in Britain and France, so they also borrowed the most money from Russia. The number is not clear, and it certainly will not be less, but some of them have already fallen into our hands. Hehe. Morgan laughed.

"Oh! I see. Situ Nan nodded.

"By the way, Jack, I want to make a deal with you. Gold buying. Speaking of this, Situ Nan smiled mysteriously.

"What do you mean?" Morgan sniffed a business opportunity in Situ Nan's demeanor. His eyes narrowed, and then he relaxed slightly.

"15 tons of gold in exchange for Wall Street's support for a war." Situ Nan looked at Morgan and knew that this guy would be interested.

"What kind of war?"

"In the South Seas, the target is the Dutch, just like we did with Spain." Situ Nan said calmly.

"Oh! I finally know why Jacob is looking the other way you off. Morgan nodded, stared at Situ Nan for three seconds, and sighed with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Situ Nan asked.

"If you're not interested, I think the old Rockefeller guy would be very happy, who doesn't love gold? There's oil there. Although I don't really want to work with him right now. ”

"Why not? As long as there is a guarantee, let alone a Chinese, even if he is my father's killer, I will lend him a loan. Business is business. Morgan said briskly.

"That's good. Can you give me an affirmative answer? Including the attitude towards the British. Situ Nan stared at Morgan, to put it bluntly, he spent money to buy Morgan in exchange for Wall Street's support for Nanyang.

"Of course. Unless the British give me gold. Morgan smiled, his eyes becoming serious. The United States got the Philippines, but alas, the lazy Philippines could not bring much benefit to the United States.

On the contrary, the British and the Dutch plundered a lot of wealth from the Malay Peninsula and the Netherlands and India every year, and I think Wall Street should have its own interests on this issue. That's my opinion. Can you guarantee that the market there will be open in the future? At least not to dismiss Wall Street's good intentions. ”

Can't refuse the kindness of Wall Street?

Situ Nan laughed when he heard it. How could he refuse the kindness of Wall Street? Ten years from now, when the dollar is worthless, let's repay Wall Street for its kindness.

Situ Nan thought to himself. At the moment, he didn't feel like a part of Wall Street.

"Of course. I have some ideas, but I'm still a businessman. I wouldn't do anything without a good reputation and no benefits. I think Jack, you too. Rest assured, there's a whole new market opening up for you. I promise. "Situ Nandao.

"Good. I think you'll get what you want. Morgan smiled. What he likes to do most is this kind of big business, which can affect the situation in a country and region, which really makes him feel more fulfilled.

"You got this gold from the Russians, right?" He looked at Situ Nan with blazing eyes, and seemed to see Situ Nan's thoughts.

"It's hard to say. If I had to answer a reasonable answer, I would say it fell from the sky. Situ Nan smiled slightly, relieved.

Indeed, gold fell from heaven. Situ Nan didn't expect Thomas that they could really do this and find the gold hidden by the Russian ** official in Siberia. Some of the gold is already on its way back to the United States. That's why Situ Nan thought of talking to Morgan about this deal.

Although the support of the Morgan consortium is not necessary, I am afraid that he will cause trouble behind his back. In addition to this, Situ Nan was also ready to exchange oil for Rockefeller's support
