Chapter 384: Spending Money to Eliminate Disasters (I)

There are a few other similar actions, but because of the smaller scale, they are not as noticeable as these big moves. However, in this short period of time, Mao Zemin managed to obtain a staggering amount of no less than US$5 billion (Note 1), while Zhongfu International's debt was reduced to less than US$2 billion, which fully demonstrates his outstanding business and diplomatic skills. I have to admit that for some talents, the bigger the stage, the more they can show their extraordinary, and when they were young, they just felt that "it doesn't seem difficult to be a millionaire." Mao Zemin is now in and out of hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, which makes people have to sigh at the impermanence of fate

However, the sudden great success almost made Mao Zemin make many mistakes that nouveau riche often make, and he was carried away for a while and left behind his modesty and prudence, and with 5 billion US dollars was not enough, he actually borrowed more than 1 billion US dollars from the United States and several Western European countries (mainly France, which has developed financial capital) through a variety of capital operation methods that have been very skillful, so that the funds under his control exceeded 6 billion US dollars, and almost all of them were cash. That's more than even the financial giants in the United States, but it almost undone all of their previous efforts

The United States is arguably the one that attaches the most importance to judicial independence among the Western powers, but this is only because the ruling class in the United States considers it in their best interest to maintain a good order, and they may not continue to adhere to this principle when the potential benefits or threats are large enough. In the past, when Zhongfu International only had a few hundred million dollars in assets, the US government could still sit still, the reason is very simple, the relationship with the Chinese Red Party and the image of the US government are more valuable than hundreds of millions of dollars, and even if the two countries are at odds, these hundreds of millions of dollars in assets will not cause much harm. But $6 billion in cash is a completely different concept. It should be known that before the Great Depression, Germany owed more than $7 billion in debt to the United States (not counting interest), which was dragged into economic collapse and gave the mustache a chance to come out if this huge amount of money was used to short the US financial market. It may even ruin all the achievements of Roosevelt's New Deal over the past few years, and because of ideological differences, the US government has always been reluctant to worry about the Red Party in China. At the same time, this huge amount of cash, which is equivalent to almost one-tenth of the annual gross national income of the United States, is also very attractive to the US government. If the money is available, the United States can take more aggressive measures to stimulate the economic recovery, but it will not have to worry about the risk of inflation as it does with additional monetary issues. The potential benefits are so great that even a little damage to the international image is well worth it

In the final analysis, just like the so-called "liberal democracy", the so-called "equality before the law" preached by the US government is only for Americans, or more precisely, only for those white people among American citizens. This was especially true in the pre-World War II United States. In fact, even Japanese American citizens whose home country has become a great power are now often discriminated against, not to mention that the motherland is still very poor and backward, and it is difficult for them to become naturalized in the United States because of the Chinese Exclusion Act. Speaking of which, if it weren't for Mao Zemin's movements, it would have been too fast. Zhongfu International is afraid that even the first big deal will not be successfully completed

Fortunately, some of Mao Zemin's previous layouts played a key role at this time, and after an early warning from an insider who was later called "an old friend of the Chinese" by the new Chinese government, Mao Zemin learned in time that the US FBI was preparing to investigate Zhongfu International on charges of using the "Ponzi scheme" to illegally raise funds, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. However, his reaction was also extremely fast, and he immediately accelerated the Jihua that Hu Weidong had originally formulated, as long as the money was spent as soon as possible, the Americans were relieved on the one hand, and on the other hand, there was no benefit, and naturally they would no longer chase and fight needlessly.

He first paid off the huge debts owed to the American conglomerates on behalf of the Germans, advanced a portion of the future (enough for Germany not to pay off its debts to the United States until 1940), and converted all of them into Germany's debt to the government of the Central Plains Border District of the Chinese Red Party (Note 2), at a total cost of more than $1.5 billion.

It is said that the Roosevelt administration of the United States is intent on using these debts to force Germany to attack the Soviet Union in order to reap the benefits of the fishermen, and it will categorically not allow the Red Party to stir up the situation, but it is not the US government that borrows money to the Germans, but the major American conglomerates. In particular, American conglomerates outside the New Deal coalition can only sit back and watch huge bad debts arise

Note 1: Among them, about 1 billion US dollars is the participation of overseas Chinese in Zhongfu International, although Mao Zemin is now in urgent need of cash, but because Zhongfu International is not actually an ordinary company with the goal of making profits, but is actually an overseas branch of the Chinese Red Party, so a lot of information is confidential even to those larger shareholders, and the shareholders have no right to interfere in the operation of Zhongfu International, and even whether to pay dividends or not is completely up to the overseas branch of the Red Party. In many cases, some decisions will be made that will damage the interests of the company for the sake of domestic needs, even if Zhongfu International is not a listed company, such conditions can only be accepted by those patriotic Chinese and overseas Chinese.

Note 2: In this way, even if the U.S. government confiscates Zhongfu International, it will no longer be able to force Germany with repayment pressure, and as long as the government of the Central Plains Border Region is still there, Germany can use the repayment of debts as an excuse to carry out in-depth cooperation with the Red Party, and the U.S. government has no way to do this. At the same time, as long as the debts due are settled, the United States can no longer force Germany to attack the Soviet Union unless it forces Germany to pay off its debts in advance, but now the United States is not the superpower after the war, and it does not have the capital to run rampant in the international arena. At that time, the United States will have to vomit three liters of blood (to be continued.) )

PS: The funds for comprehensive industrialization have finally been basically gathered, but the red regime has also begun to attract the attention of the great powers, and the war will no longer be limited to China and Japan, who are our friends and who are our enemies, and listen to the next breakdown, well, having said so much, in fact, there is only one purpose, rolling around all over the ground for recommendation votes ^_^
