After working for more than an hour, Greystone felt that his answer was basically formed, although the details were still far behind, but where specific numbers were needed. And here, there's no way to get enough of jù at once. So it's pretty much the same to be able to do that.

Greystone gathered up the paper-laden papers on his desk, arranged them, stood up, and walked toward Scrooge's office.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Scrooge's voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Greystone pushed open the door and saw that Donald was already there. The map of the world had been hung up, and Donald was pointing to it to speak to Scrooge.

"The price paid by Japan in this war will definitely be greater, and after the war, Japan will definitely demand a huge war reparation from China. In addition, there may be a demand for the cession of Taiwan. And even more. At that time, with China's financial capacity, it will simply not be possible to pay such a huge amount of reparations. They will have to borrow from outside. Even in the middle of the war, they borrowed heavily, and it was very difficult to borrow. At this time, we can take the opportunity to lend usury to them, and let them use the mining rights to live and other things as collateral. Anyway, after China's new defeat, it will absolutely not be able to play tricks with us.

And in the long run, the benefits are even more. After this war, if Japan wants to continue to expand, it must always suppress China. Uncle Scrooge, the reason why I infer that Japan will ask China to cede Taiwan is based on this judgment. China naturally wants to keep itself, but its strength is not enough, so it must continue to borrow from other countries, so that we can get more opportunities. Moreover, I have just checked the political situation in China, and the rulers and the vast majority of the people of China are not a single nation. This would not have been too much of a problem many years ago, but now it is different, and the idea of the nation-state will definitely gradually permeate it. In this way, the legitimacy of the government becomes in question, and China may continue to revolutionize in the future. China is so big, it's not an industrialized country, and it's not bound by a unified market, so it's very prone to fragmentation. Once such a situation arises, a situation arises in which one industrial country supports a separatist regime, and another industrial country supports another separatist regime. There will be a lot of business opportunities here.

So, Uncle Scrooge, I think in the near future we can take advantage of China's defeat and get the opportunity to provide them with usury and control some of the mining or important sectors. In the long run, it would be best if we could also control a local faction. However, I am afraid that this will exceed the limits of our power. Still, I think we can make a difference. Let's say, for example, our weapons department. In such a situation, China will definitely need a large number of cheap, reliable weapons. If we dedicate some weapons to these requirements, we should also be able to make some money. However, we are still in a disadvantageous position compared to companies in countries that have the ability to project military power in Asia. If only we the United States could snatch the Philippines from the Spaniards.

In addition, I have a proposal that I hope to take advantage of and allow the University of Cleveland to open a branch campus in China. We can send the top students in this school to the University of Cleveland. Uncle, in this way, in the long run, we will be able to gain more influence in China. And influence, sooner or later, can turn into money......"

Greystone stood aside, listening to his cousin's words, and he regretted a little: "Maybe I should have come in earlier." "Because Greystone is not much different from Donald in most opinions. He feared that if he answered the following, it would appear that he was just repeating Donald's stuff.

"Donald has never been quick to react," thought Greystone, "and, having listened to what he has just said, he knows no less about the political situation in the Far East than I do." But I know this because I have recently negotiated with Mr. Hiddink with the Chinese, so I will naturally pay attention to gathering relevant information. And how could MacDonald know so much about the situation in the Far East? It seems that he has probably guessed what Dad wants to test us, and has prepared in advance. In this way, Donald really can't be underestimated......"

"Yes, Donald, how can you be so familiar with the affairs of the Far East?" Scrooge nodded, twirled the pen in his hand on his fingers, and asked slowly.

"Uncle, some time ago, the school gave us an assignment to design a combat operation in the Far East when the Japanese fought for control of the Ryukyu Islands. So I have some idea of the forms of the Far East. Donald replied.

Donald didn't lie, this time his appearance was so good, there was indeed an element of luck, but Gladstone didn't believe it, but he just buried this doubt silently in his heart, and then thought about what else Donald didn't think of.

"Greystone, here's Donald's outline, you can take a look at it, and tell me if there's anything you need to add. By the way, show me your outline. Scrooge said as he handed some paper to Greystone.

Greystone took it and saw that it was Donald's basic idea, he handed what he had written to Scrooge, and then began to compare Donald's ideas carefully, and sure enough, the content in it was indeed mostly the same as his own ideas.

"Damn, what should I do?" Suddenly it occurred to him that Donald's idea of producing some reliable weapons with a primary emphasis on ease of maintenance for sale to China was because Donald had recently been training in military and political affairs. And didn't he himself learn how to control the media some time ago, so as to influence public opinion and political decision-making? This was something he didn't think of when he made the decision just now, which was really ......

"Dad, my thoughts are not much like Donald's. It's just that Donald's vision of arms sales in China after the end was something I didn't think of. It's a very good idea. Greystone said with a sincere smile, not minding to boast about his cousin in front of his father. My father wanted to keep the family united, and he advocated that brothers help each other. He even taught himself and other siblings: "Isn't it scary to have a leader in a family who doesn't know everything?" No. As long as he can be generous to the other members of the family, and his brother has skills, he will be happy as if he has skills, and he is sincerely willing to help his brother show his skills, then he can be a good leader. On the contrary, if he is very talented, but he can't see that others are better than him in any way, once he sees that his brother has strengths in a certain aspect, instead of trying to make him swing it, he will find a way to suppress him, so that he can't wield it. Then no matter how strong his personal ability is, it will only cause danger to the family. I don't want such a person among you. ”

Since my father liked to see the sight of brotherly unity, of course he had to show this, Donald said earlier that it was more convenient to show his talents, but Greystone, who spoke later, now felt that it was also good to speak later, that is, to have the opportunity to show his generosity. Even, perhaps, in his father's heart, tolerance is more important than mere ability.

"Do you have any ideas of your own?" Scrooge asked.

"Nothing." "But when I heard what Donald said, I was inspired by him, and something came to mind." Daddy, can I go out and perfect it again? ”

Greystone knew what a shrewd man his father was, and it was better to tell the truth in front of him, he had not thought through the newspapers and propaganda issues before, and if he had said it directly, Scrooge could easily have heard that his plans were only improvized. It's better to admit bluntly that this was inspired by his brother and thought of it temporarily.

"No need, just talk about what comes to your mind at the moment." Scrooge said.

"Okay, Dad." Greystone said.

"I think we've also ignored the newspapers and the radio. In order to obtain a loan, it is better to make concessions on the interest rate of the loan than to obtain the right to build a radio broadcasting station for a Chinese-type newspaper. Dad, I know that there are newspapers in the concession, but those newspapers are mostly in English or French, and they are aimed at white people in China. This market and influence are surprisingly small, and there is no future at all. Some Chinese also started newspapers, and their newspapers were aimed at the Chinese, but the technical level of their newspapers was not high, and the capital was not strong enough, and in general, they were very unprofessional. Therefore, if we can obtain the right to print a Chinese-language newspaper, or even the right to operate not only in the concession, then we can rely on it to gain a considerable right to speak. And the right to speak can eventually be translated into tangible economic benefits. As for radio broadcasting, the same is true. But I didn't think about the specific implementation details. ”

"Very nice. It's good that you can think of so many for a while. "Of course, the Manchu government may not agree lightly, but it should still be able to do it under the pressure of the current situation." As for the details. I used to stress your details a lot because you often show you very sloppily. But looking at your idea, it's much more detailed than before. But don't go to the other extreme, why didn't you think of this point in the first place? Is it because you get into the details too early on the most obvious questions? Details are important, but don't get into the details too early before completing the whole big idea and big framework, otherwise it is easy to get stuck in the details and find no direction. Moreover, things that are too detailed are naturally managed by other relevant responsible persons. Otherwise, what are we going to do with their wages? Do you two get it? ”

"(Uncle) Dad, we all get it." The two men replied together.

"Alright, give your two materials, as well as what you just thought of Greystone, to my copywriting secretary, Mr. Garrison, and let him take care of the adjustments and refinements." Scrooge finally said. r1o58
