Chapter 632: Carnival, Short America! (a)
The 21st day of the second lunar month of the 18th year of the Republic of China.
"Jacob, listen to me. It's a great opportunity, and it's going to be everyone's aspiration! The prettiest beauties, the most luxurious hotels, the biggest casinos, the fastest cruise ships, I can't imagine it. Most importantly, it will become a tax haven for us Jews and the entire Pacific. ”
On the streets of New York, a fully enclosed "Silver Devil" luxury sedan made by Rolls-Royce of the United Kingdom slowly drove in front of Broadway, and the all-handmade luxury style of up to 3,000 pounds attracted many envious and jealous eyes, but Jacob did not feel any comfort in the car.
Outside the clean glass windows, you can still see many unremoved Star-Spangled Banners. Wall Street, full of smiling faces, was immersed in the atmosphere of the just-concluded presidential election, and Clark Hoover became the 31st president in American history. Ordinary people admired and praised this investor and philanthropist who aided the Soviet Union and took a positive attitude to solve the food shortage, believing that he was the symbol of the American spirit of freedom and the new leader of the United States. Businessmen and capitalists are looking forward to the new president, who was a brilliant mining investor, and because of the US-China and US-Soviet relations he has established, they are looking forward to more opportunities for the United States. More Orders! More Wealth!
Sitting next to him, old Gilbert Sr., a 50-year-old man with messy brown hair and a big rosacea glowing red, seemed to have gone crazy for Jacob to introduce Jacob to his plans for a free Saipan casino and tax haven.
Jacob squinted helplessly, the relationship between this old man and the Rothschilds began fifty years ago. His grandfather had helped the Rothschilds in the Suez Canal business. In gratitude to the then head of the family, he gave his grandfather $500,000. With this money, the elder Gilbert's father came to the United States, but seemed unlucky, and several businesses ended in failure. It wasn't until the elder Gilbert took charge of the family that he uncharacteristically secretly financed the gangs, and gradually made a fortune by helping the gangs launder money, holding casinos and many gray businesses.
After decades of development, the elder Gilbert relied on the financial networks of the Jewish world. He controls many casinos and entertainment industries in the United States and Mexico through money trading, earning tens of millions of dollars a year, although he never gets involved in the gang business himself. But he is the money godfather of gangs all over the United States. Of course, compared with Morgan's big conglomerates, his little background is not enough, and because of this business, it has not been very popular. Everyone privately described him as an ugly goblin.
But this ugly old man like a goblin is extremely enthusiastic about the Zionist movement, and for more than a decade, the total funding has been more than that of many big conglomerates, so everyone can't ignore his existence. It's just that this old man, who has always kept a low profile, has been going crazy lately, even hyping up the purchase of Saipan and Guam, preferably the entire Northern Mariana Islands, and proposing ambitious plans for tourist islands and tax havens.
"Mr. Gilbert. I'm sorry, I'm not interested in your Liberty Island project at all, and I think you can go to another collaborator. Jacob didn't get tired of knocking on the car door, he didn't want to be involved in such an impossible plan. So let the driver pull over.
Old Gilbert seemed angry at Jacob's refusal: "Jacob, you should tell Walter!" We Jews are in very terrible danger and our money is being looted by others! We need a tax haven of our own! The old man got out of the car in a huff, and waited until the silver devil restarted before slowly closing the corners of his mouth and getting into an ordinary Ford sedan behind him.
After getting in the car. The old man was out of breath as if he was sick, and shouted hysterically: "I'm done, give it to me, give it to me!" At the shouting, a hand reached out from the driver's seat in front of him, and the palm of the hand was spread out to be a milky white pill. Gilbert's eyes turned green when he saw this, and when he stuffed it in his mouth, he breathed a long sigh of relief as if he had eaten gentian and phoenix gall. Leaning quietly on the leather seat, he closed his eyes comfortably. But not long after it was closed, he sat up straight as if he remembered something, his eyes widened and he gritted his teeth: "My child." ”
"They're good, you'll see them after the contract is over, we're talking about it!" A cold voice like ice slag came from the front row, drowning out old Gilbert's anger at once.
Jacob didn't see all this, he was still annoyed that he had lost time by letting the annoying old goblin get into the car.
The car quickly stopped in an inconspicuous building next to Wall Street, and he didn't dare to stop and quickly walked to the office on the second floor. When I opened the door, I found that Sir Walter and his good friend Mr. Weizmann had arrived first, standing by the window and laughing and laughing. Walter was a little dissatisfied when he came in: "Jacob, you're late, it's not a good habit." ”
"Sorry sir, I got entangled by old Gilbert on the road." Jacob hurriedly told him old Gilbert's plan to sell him Liberty Island, and said hatefully, "I really shouldn't have let him get in the car, this guy is crazy." ”
"Is that the old gambler?" Sir Watson, who was diminutive, remembered the Gilbert family and laughed, "Weizmann, I think we should reacquaint ourselves with that old fellow, that's a bold idea." ”
Seeing Walter actually praising old Gilbert's crazy idea, Jacob hurriedly shook his head: "Sir, you can still laugh." Even if tax avoidance and the world's free casinos attract tourists, the U.S. government does not, and there has never been a record of selling the country. ”
Walter shook his finger elegantly: "Jacob, you are a good manager, and a good assistant. But you're too sane and too calm! The world needs some crazy and bold planning in order to attract more investors and make more money! If old Gilbert could do it, the Northern Mariana would be the largest tax-free haven in the entire Southwest Pacific! It's very fascinating. More importantly, can you tell me what U.S. law recognizes Saipan and Guam in the Northern Mariana as U.S. territories? ”
“。” Jacob opened his mouth and pondered for a long time, as if there really was no law in the United States that said that Saipan and Guam were American territories, at least for the time being, they were only colonies and not legally protected territories. When it comes to its own side, the US economy will inevitably decline, and the US government, which continues to bail out the market, seems to have a glimmer of hope for selling a few colonial islands.
"That's it! Whether he succeeds or not, none of this has anything to do with us. Walter was worthy of being the best of the Rothschild family, and after a few small talks, he immediately interrupted his train of thought and returned to the topic: "Tell me, please, are we ready for our affairs?" ”
Jacob hurriedly collected his thoughts: "It's ready." I've moved most of the money into Mr. Morgan's Citibank, which can exit the U.S. in 2 weeks, and the rest will be used to buy U.S. Treasury hedging operations, but that's all. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Morgan, they found that there are accounts that are selling a lot of stocks and expiring contracts, and these accounts are very likely to be investment firms in China. In order to stabilize the market, we have put in 200 million US dollars to stabilize the stock market, Yang Qiu personally sent someone to contact me yesterday, hoping that I would help him transfer some of the profits invested in the United States. ”
"What the hell is he trying to do! Is there an impact? Walter frowned, this action already showed to him that the situation was very serious. Even Weizmann saw it and asked, "How much money is going to be transferred?" ”
"The impact is not big, it just causes a small fluctuation, because they don't have the channel to siphon out so much money at once, so it will only cause volatility and not lead to a crash, so they will come to me for help. I didn't say how much, but I asked people to do some statistics, and based on the number of sales they have made in the past five years, the profit is likely to be more than $2 billion, not including the $200 million I helped him transfer to London two years ago. ”
Weizmann paid little attention to finance, so he was surprised to hear that the Chinese had earned so much in a few years, and asked: "So much!" How did they earn it? ”
"That's not much, my old friend." Walter's voice sounded faintly from the side: "Morgan they are several times his number. But we can't accede to this request! ”
"Why? Walter, us and him. Weizmann was a little anxious, because in his opinion, the non-commissioned officers and students in China were related to the fate of the Jewish state. But Walter interrupted him mercilessly this time: "My old friend, I'm afraid you don't know what kind of trouble we will cause if we help him transfer this money!" ”
Jacob hurriedly explained beside him: "What Mr. said is very right, if we help him transfer this money, then the US stock market will collapse in an instant, and in the end, we will not even be able to leave our own money, which will bring extremely serious consequences!" ”
"Jacob, is it going well on the Chinese side?" Walter asked suddenly.
"It's very unpleasant." Thinking of the financial division and foreign exchange control methods that Yang Qiu developed after the silver crisis, Jacob smiled bitterly in his heart: "Yang Qiu is very strict with the country's financial management, we can only make some investments in the stock and futures markets, and the foreign exchange entering China needs to be converted into Chinese yuan, which means that even if we can make money, what we get is only Chinese yuan." But sir, you can rest assured that the trade between China and the United States is already very large, so there will definitely be a ripple effect, and we can buy the money we earn to buy Chinese banks and companies, and slowly eat away at him! Of course, this will take a long time. ”
Walter nodded. As the world's No. 1 financial family, although he didn't know how Yang Qiu predicted this, one thing was clear, he would never be promised this time! He said extremely decisively: "Jacob, please go and tell Yang Qiu's envoy that there is no obligation between us and him!" If you want to play this game, you have to take the risk in it! ”
"I'm going to see Morgan and some American friends with Weizmann now, I think." Walter's gaze turned to the window. For some reason, this capital predator who is in charge of the Rothschild family and has been known as the head of the Sixth Reich for decades always feels a feeling of mysterious eyes staring. He didn't like the feeling, so he quickly decided: "Evacuate!" Get out of the U.S. now! ”
