Fang Lang's gaze swept over the people in the reception room, and from everyone's performance, he was very sure that neither the US government nor the big conglomerates had yet formed this kind of thinking habit of the world's police.

Even the heads of Morgan and Rockefeller, two of America's largest conglomerates, have yet to realize that the aid plan needs to be backed up by force.

And Mr. Marshall, who is about to become secretary of state, has not yet realized what the fundamental purpose of Lao Du is in choosing to make him, a five-star general, secretary of state.

This made Fang Lang see an opportunity, standing on the shoulders of historical giants, he knew very well what would happen in the future, and he was not worried about whether he could make money by investing in road construction.

When everyone is scared, he can stand up and take this hard bone, does it mean that he can get more fat from other places as compensation?

If this is the case, grain exports will become less important, and even taking a stake in General Electric should no longer be completely out of opportunity.

Now after distributing the benefits first, when Lao Du's layout is completed, Lao Du's doctrine is made public, and the implementation begins, he can be regarded as sitting back and enjoying it.

Even, in order to advance this matter, he can also sell the theory of the world police to the future Secretary of State, Mr. Marshall! Anyway, this is what the Yankees will inevitably do in the future, and there is nothing wrong with taking it out in advance in exchange for their own interests!

Thinking of this, Fang Lang began to think about how to maximize his interests, but he said with a look of shame on his face:

"I'm really embarrassed, I didn't react for a while, I thought it was in Brazil."

But among the people sitting here, that one is not a human spirit, although Fang Lang only raised a question, but everyone's hearts began to calculate.

You must know that the people here are either generals or the heads of big conglomerates, and they have never cared about fighting. If fighting a war would bring benefits to their business, they would be desperate to push for it.

Harken Morgan was the first to speak to Marshall:

"I think what Fang said makes sense! The U.S. military should protect our American businessmen, isn't it? ”

Marshall, who was pondering, raised his head when he heard this, looked at the chairman of Morgan Company with an excited face, and fell into hesitation, the words Fang Lang said today made him seem to have caught something, but he was a little unclear.

"You're right, but if our troops enter the territory of another country and intervene with arms, it may cause international disputes! This will have a very bad impact on the international image of our United States. ”

Alvin Rockefeller on the other side also reacted at this time, and glanced at Fang Lang deeply with a meaningful gaze, before he slowly spoke:

"If I'm not mistaken, these countries that need our assistance are our allies, right? As allies, it seems reasonable for us to send troops to help them stabilize the order in the country and eliminate the opposition.

Of course, there are also countries that are defeated, and our troops are already stationed in these defeated countries, so there is no problem. ”

As soon as he said this, smiles began to appear on the faces of both Marshall and the Morgan family. That's right! Does this seem to be a logical thing?

As long as there is the presence of US troops, there is not much risk in these businesses, after all, the current US army has just won the world war, and it is at the height of military prestige.

They have not yet been stunned by the stick of their hometown on a certain peninsula, and they feel that they are the most powerful army in the world, and with the protection of such an army, those investments that were originally assessed as high-risk will be reduced to a risk-free level in an instant.

And high risk often means high income, everyone present had their eyes lit up, exchanged glances quietly, and reached a consensus in an instant.

And Fang Lang, who witnessed all this, could only let out a sigh, eager to slap himself hard, why did he have to talk more? Now everyone has thought of letting the US military escort their business, which has deprived them of the opportunity to pick up leaks.

As for whether the US military will agree to escort the business of the consortiums, this is not a question for the consortiums at all, they just need to convince the US president.

And whether the president of the United States can be persuaded or not, there is no question at all, after all, the US government is a government that represents their interests, and if it cannot serve them, then it will have to be replaced by an obedient president.

What's more, Fang Lang knew very well that Truman did not need to be persuaded by the consortium at all, and it was already clear from the other party's arrangement of General Marshall's new position that he had actually considered everything in advance.

What Fang Lang needs to do most now is to unify the interests of the people here, reach a united front, and not let the two largest consortia leave him behind.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to speak directly:

"In that case, I don't think it's impossible to help them get back on the road. I just don't know what benefits we can get from eating this hard bone. ”

Everyone present understood that the matter of sending US troops to escort their business was no longer a problem, and the rest of the matter only needed to communicate with the US president.

Even General Marshall knew very well that with the involvement of Morgan and Rockefeller, it would not be difficult to push the White House to implement this policy.

So, everyone chose to keep silent about this topic.

Fang Lang's words can be regarded as pulling everyone's thoughts back to the realistic distribution of interests.

After entering the door, the Morgan family, who had not mentioned the issue of the grain export of the Nice Company, looked at each other, and Halken Morgan was the first to speak:

"Fang, I think if our Morgan family comes forward and agrees to provide infrastructure loans to the local government, we will be able to regain all the grain market share of Nice Company."

Hearing this, Fang Lang wanted to scold his mother in his heart, I have provided you with such a good idea for solving the problem, and all your businesses will be reduced from medium to high risk assessment to no risk or low risk.

Before others react, they can buy these high-risk projects in exchange for much benefit in other areas. Now he wants to send himself away on the terms he promised him, which is obviously unacceptable to Fang Lang.

After glancing at the thoughtful Alvin Rockefeller, Fang Lang gritted his teeth and turned to Marshall and said:

"Mr. Marshall, I don't think simply helping the local government restore transportation is a reflection of our American atmosphere. If the local government agrees to guarantee me with its own taxes.

I would like to set up a company that specializes in building and operating expressways, and will be responsible for building expressways for the local government that are better than the original roads.

Of course, for the expressway to be built by me, our company must have a concession for at least 40 years. What do you think? ”

When Marshall heard this, he raised his eyebrows, glanced at a few members of the Morgan family, smiled reservedly, and said slightly to Fang Lang:

"You mean, you just need the local government to guarantee you with taxes, and you don't have to come forward with a loan, right?"

Fang Lang nodded with a smile and said:

"Yes, in the name of this highway company, we can take out a loan from the bank to build the road first, and then repay it in the form of a toll! That is, the loan is used to repair the road, and the fee is repaid. ”

"I don't think they can find any reason to refuse. Don't know what conditions you have? ”

Marshall's eyes lit up, Fang Lang's plan is a good thing for that government, and it is impossible for anyone to refuse, as for the concession for 40 years, you don't look at the current situation in various countries.

How risky is this investment, it simply won't pay for itself in a short period of time, and isn't it too good for someone else to ask for a 40-year franchise?

With the expressway, the speed of economic recovery in all countries will go up a new level. After all, the impact of transportation on the economy is still very huge.

At this moment, Marshall felt that this trip was really worth it.

Fang Lang heard Marshall's question, and after his eyes swept over several members of the Morgan family, he slowly spoke:

"Since it needs to be guaranteed by the local government's tax revenue, it shouldn't be too much for the local government to deposit the tax equivalent to the loan amount into the bank that provides the loan."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several members of the Morgan family changed instantly, and Halken Morgan looked even more incredulous, and was about to jump up from his seat.

Fortunately, the old patriarch Charles Morgan next to him was more calm, and reached out and grabbed Harken Morgan who wanted to get up.

All this naturally did not escape the eyes of Fang Lang, who had been paying attention to the reactions of several people, at this moment, Fang Lang's heart couldn't help but laugh proudly, this can be regarded as pinching the seven inches of the Morgan family!

If you want to use a simple grain merchant business, you can send yourself away, where in the world is there such a simple thing.

The Rockefeller on the side was also shocked when he heard this, he was not a simple oil merchant, and the current Rockefeller family has long spanned many industries after several generations of development.

Although it is not yet able to compete with the Morgan family in the financial field, it has not done much so.

Taxes are the main source of revenue for the government, and the taxes of various countries are generally deposited in central banks, such as the Federal Reserve of the United States and the Bank of England of the United Kingdom.

Therefore, it is impossible to deposit all the taxes in a private bank, and even the tax equal to the loan amount is impossible to deposit in a private bank.

But it is up to the central banks of each country to come forward and establish some partnerships with the bank.

As for the specific cooperation, it depends on the attitude of the local government and the willingness to pay the price for economic reconstruction and highway construction.

Fang Lang's words are obviously for Morgan and Rockefeller, and this is an excellent opportunity to establish contacts with central banks, if Fang Lang's own Development Bank of Brazil comes forward to take over this business.

The Brazilian Development Bank will become a major global bank in an instant, regardless of the benefits it can bring from the financial operations it can carry out in these countries.

The mere right to international monetary settlements catapults the Brazilian Development Bank to become one of the world's leading banks.

Compared with such a big cake, the toll collected for the construction of the highway is not worth mentioning at all.

Therefore, just this short sentence shocked the Morgan and Rockefeller families. As for whether this requirement is possible to be realized, the two can understand it with just a slight thought, and the opportunity is very large.

At this time, the two families understood the huge ambition of this young man, and had to start to be cautious about Fang Lang's existence.

And Marshall obviously didn't expect Fang Lang to be waiting for him here, this kind of thing was obviously not something he could decide, so he could only say with some hesitation:

"I can't answer you either! I think you need to negotiate directly with the local government. ”

Hearing this, Fang Lang shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said:

"Alright then!"

Then, Fang Lang looked at Morgan and Rockefeller with a smile on his face:

"I wonder if anyone would be interested in joining my project?"

As he spoke, he quietly picked at Rockefeller, and the Rockefeller on the other side immediately understood.

Before a few members of the Morgan family could speak, Alvin Rockefeller had already laughed and said:

"Of course, Fang, how can such a good project be without the participation of our Rockefeller family! I think my petrochemical company can provide the best asphalt for highway construction.

In terms of loans, our family's banks are also willing to provide them. ”

This statement made the three members of the Morgan family frown, and after glancing at each other, Charles Morgan sighed helplessly and said:

"Fang, I have to say that I underestimated you, and here, I want to express my most sincere apologies to you on behalf of the Morgan family."

Hearing this, Fang Lang's face was without waves, at this moment, he had already seen the true face of the consortium, how could there be any friendship of the Morgan family, and some would always be just interests.

As for the so-called most sincere apology, it is estimated that it is just lip service, and in the end, it depends on how the other party is prepared to respond to the proposal he just made.

Therefore, Fang Lang did not answer, but quietly waited for the other party's next step.

"As for the idea that you want to take a stake in General Electric, I can answer you right now, we are willing to transfer ten percent of General Electric shares to you as compensation, what do you think?"

Avery Morgan and Harken Morgan around him were all stunned to look at their family patriarchs, which was different from the result of everyone's discussion! However, on this occasion, in this case, the two of them obviously will not intervene to refute the words of the patriarch of the family, and they are waiting for his next words.

Now it seems that GE's 10% share is not much, but Fang Lang knows what kind of company GE will develop into in the future.

That is, now that GE has not fully grown, he has the opportunity to buy shares, and in a few years, even if Fang Lang wants to buy one-thousandth of the shares, not to mention that the Morgan family will not agree, the US government will directly intervene.

This is a large enterprise that has a bearing on US national defense and security, and the aircraft engines it produces alone are products that many countries cannot buy if they want to.

And now that Charles Morgan has agreed to transfer 10% of Fang Lang's shares, what is he not satisfied with?

After Fang Lang heard this, his heart was already excited, but his face was still calm, and after coughing lightly, he slowly spoke:

"Won't it be diluted?"

Hearing this, Charles Morgan coughed dryly twice, and said unnaturally:

"It depends on whether you follow up when the company increases its capital and shares."

Fang Lang said without hesitation:

"Of course, I am very optimistic about the future of GE and will do my best to follow up."
