Holding the white open cup, and then stirring the dark sè with a small spoon, the coffee with a strong aroma, Stark Ross took a shallow sip, and couldn't help but be intoxicated, after a long time, he put down the cup, looking at the economic crisis and domestic chaos, as well as the war between China and the United States, the tortured face was pale, the sideburns had been frosted, and the old face of the United States Chester Allen Arthur, smiled and said: "Mr. President, your coffee here is very good!"
"If Mr. Stark likes it, I can give you some!" said Alan Arthur, smiling. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Then I would like to thank Mr. President for his generosity!"
"Mr. Stark is so polite, for a patriotic businessman like you who cherishes the United States, including me, the whole Federation has great respect for you!"
Looking at the earnest-eyed and respectful President of the United States, Stark Ross was in a trance for a moment, thinking that four years ago, he was just a small man in San Francisco who was running for a living. But now, under the remote control of that young and excessive Chinese young master, he has become a supergiant in the American business community, not only treating American giants such as Rockefeller and Morgan on an equal footing, but also becoming the guest of honor of the President of the United States!
If someone had told him four years ago that he would be where he is today in the future, Stark Ross would have stepped forward to give him a big mouth and then a kick! But today, this kind of thing that even he didn't believe in was realized, and Stark certainly wouldn't forget who made him where he is today! So, no matter how unreasonable the task given to him by a teenager seemed to Stark himself, he would not have any doubts and carried it out to the letter! Of course, it was the same today!
"Mr. President, I am an overstate, and as an American, I am willing to do my part for my country. Therefore, Mr. President's proposal, I agreed on behalf of the U.S. Securities Investment Bank and the Inter-American Securities Investment Bank!" Although Stark Roth was smiling at this moment, the trace of pain that flashed from his eyes still betrayed the true emotion in his heart at this moment.
"Thank you so much! With the support of Mr. 200 million dollars, we will be able to defeat the squadron and regain all the land we have lost, and the history of the United States will remember Mr. Stark's remarkable service to the United States at this moment!" said Alan Arthur with a grim expression.
More than two years of economic crisis, as well as the loss of a large area of territory and the heavy consumption of war materials, have long exhausted the United States over the past hundred years of accumulation, although there are still a large number of rich people, but at the beginning of the economic crisis, the United States zhèngfu let the dollar depreciate the economic policy of 20, but it completely offended Rockefeller and Morgan who have a large number of dollars in their hands, and they have suffered considerable losses for the war debt thrown out by the United States, sneering, under their leadership, coupled with the fact that the US team was defeated again and again in the face of the Huo family's army, and lost most of the country, so that all the American billionaires in the east are not optimistic that the United States will be able to win the next war, so even if the US federal government has raised the rate of return on the national debt to 20 percent, it is still uninterested.
Britain and France, which were able to provide large amounts of loans to the United States in the past, have each lost the possibility of loans because of the economic crisis and war, and apart from Britain, which contacted domestic banks to lend some money to the Americans for the purpose of using the war to consume the strength of both China and the United States, there is no European country that has provided the slightest loan to the United States, which is mired in economic crisis and war. So at this time, 200 million US dollars is more precious than gold in the eyes of US President Alan Arthur, which can be described as a charcoal in the snow, no wonder he is so moved!
Just as Alan Arthur was about to say some words of thanks, the door of the president's office slammed open from the outside, "Mr. President, the squadron has taken the initiative to attack us, and war has broken out!"
Looking at the secretary who was panicked, even with a hint of panting, Alan Arthur's words that were about to reproach him were suddenly thrown out of the clouds, and after a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, he hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the telegram from the secretary's hand, and his face was even more ugly after reading it!
However, as the president of a country, although Alan Arthur is anxious, his will and determination are still very outstanding. I saw him take a deep breath, and after trying to make his god a little more normal, he said: "Mr. Stark, I'm very sorry, I wanted to keep you down for dinner to thank you for your help to the United States, but now that our war with the Chinese has broken out, I have to rush to the war room to listen to the report of the War Department!"
"It's okay, since Mr. President has a state affair to deal with, then I'll take my leave first!" After saying that, Stark Roth picked up his coat and cane and walked to the door, "By the way, Mr. President, if you and your army need a loan, we at the American Consortium are more than willing to provide it!"
"Thank you, thank you to the Inter-American Consortium for their support of the Federation, I believe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!" said Alan Arthur.
Hearing this, Stark Ross nodded with a smile, then took off his top hat and put it in front of Xiong, and after owing it, he turned around and walked out under the guidance of the zhèngfu staff.
Standing in the doorway, Stark Ross took one last look at the white palace-like building behind him, which symbolized the seat of the center of American power, and walked briskly onto a wide four-wheeled carriage that came next to him. Then go down the wide road!
"How is it?, is it done?" Ou Yangming asked with a smile as he looked at the middle-aged white man who walked in.
"How can it not be done, the current United States zhèngfu does not have to be before! 200 million US dollars, if the United States is not a minzhu republic and not a constitutional monarchy like the United Kingdom, I'm afraid Alan Arthur will have the heart to make me a duke!" Stark Roth said with a smile after hanging his clothes on the hanger next to him.
Serving the Huo Jiajun collective, Ouyang Ming, the minister of the Chinese People's Army in the United States, and this middle-aged Jew, who is in charge of all the industries in the United States, are very familiar with each other, and the relationship between them is also good.
"Ouyang, I don't quite understand, isn't our army at war with the U.S. Army now? Why would the young master let me come forward to buy the war bonds issued by the United States, even if its rate of return is very high, but this is not a disguised support for the Americans' sustained combat capability, which is very disadvantageous to us?" Stark Roth asked with a puzzled expression after sitting down on the sofa opposite.
"Hehe, what the young master thinks is naturally not something that ordinary people can understand, but now the 1.6 billion US dollars we have obtained from the economic crisis, in addition to the 300 million US dollars that can be transferred to us through the purchase of gold, silver and precious metals, as well as various minerals and a large number of machinery and equipment, the remaining 1.3 billion US dollars can only stay in the United States, rather than let them continue to depreciate, it is better to buy American bonds, so that we can not only make more money, but also be able to transfer these money out little by little in the future, it is better than watching them depreciate!”
"You mean that you said that we will spend $1.1 billion on U.S. war bonds today, and that we will spend $1.1 billion in the future?" asked Stark Roth, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Not bad!" Ou Yangming nodded with a smile and said.
"Ouyang, are you sure that today is not April Fool's Day, God, how could the young master make such a decision, didn't the Chinese People's Army go to war with the US Army?"
Looking at Stark's surprised face and screaming again and again, Ou Yangming couldn't help but let out a wry smile, when he got this order, he repeatedly read the wireless telegram more than a dozen times, and finally made sure that he was indeed not mistaken. If he hadn't known that Huo Jiajun was the only one in the world who used wireless telegraphy himself, he would probably suspect that the radio code had been leaked!
"Okay, Stark, don't doubt it, this is the young master's decision, let's do it!" After a pause, Ou Yangming stretched out his hands to both sides, and said helplessly: "Of course, if you don't believe it, you can send a telegram again to ask!"
After staring at Ou Yangming's cheeks and glancing at it a few times, and seeing that his god did not seem to be a fake, Stark Roth's eyes couldn't help but widen, and a trace of disbelief flashed on his face, "Eleven billion dollars, eleven billion dollars can rearm millions of troops for Americans, and if we buy US Treasury bonds on a large scale, Rockefeller and Morgan, or DuPont, Mellon's big American conglomerates will not be silent, and if they also take action, then it will trigger the entire American rich class to follow suit, and then the war bonds of the United States may not be as unattended as they are today. If they put all the billions of dollars they have raised into the war! Then with our military strength in the Americas, we will probably not be able to stop the attack of their millions of troops! If we have to give up all the land we have acquired west of the Mississippi River because we have lost the war, then what is the point of making a lot of fortune by buying American war bonds?"
"Yes, but none of us know what the young master thinks!" Ou Yangming smiled bitterly.
"I think we're still telegraphing and asking again, such a decision is too dangerous!" At this time, after four years of training, Stark Ross, who had become steady, was also a little overwhelmed! rs!.
