Chapter 72 Investment Planning

The next day, arrange for Smith to take a tour of New York City, especially to let the two children go to see the Empire State Building, climb the highest miracle of mankind at present, climb high and look far and open is the mind, Wang Anshi doesn't have a poem cloud "not afraid of floating clouds to cover his eyes, he is at the top"; Han Ping is in charge of security.

He took Dawu and three bodyguards, Kozak and Woody to the New York City Hall to complete the company's formalities, confirmed the proportion of the company's equity, and invested in the company's total share capital of 580,000 US dollars, and the trading company's share capital of 50,000 US dollars, all of which belong to small and micro enterprises.

During the discussion between the three of them, Kozak expressed his understanding of the financial aspects of the United States, and finally said: "Mr. Lee, the ambitions of the Americans are not small, and this silver issue, ostensibly a problem of the silver group, has made the US president constrained. In fact, the United States is abandoning the gold standard to prepare for the depreciation of the dollar, the United States has become the country with the largest gold reserves in World War I, and now the large-scale purchase of silver, once the expected goal is completed, then the United States can rank first in the world in terms of gold and silver reserves, and the dollar will be the strongest currency in the world. Moreover, the U.S. government exchanged printed paper for a large amount of silver, which could not help but increase the amount of money in circulation, and made a windfall. Investing a large amount of money in domestic construction will provide strong support for the United States to get out of the economic crisis. This administration of the United States is a powerful and ruthless character! ”

Kozak's analysis is largely on point, and the implications for other countries are certainly not on his radar. Woody also talked about his understanding of the United States: "......, according to the official statistics of the United States itself, the form is also very unoptimistic. More than 250,000 companies went bankrupt and more than 10,000 banks failed; The number of unemployed people has reached more than 30 million, accounting for more than one-third of the entire working population, and the phenomenon of capitalists pouring milk into the sea and burning grain and cotton in public is not uncommon and common. ”

After listening to the analysis of the two people, it is indeed more refined than my own understanding, after all, people are professionals, and they ...... themselves. So he said: "You have basically explained it clearly, I will explain the basic ideas, and you will give your opinions."

When it comes to economics, you are connoisseurs; I would like to draw attention to the theories of a British economist named John Maynard Keynes, who wrote an article entitled "The Economic Consequences of Peace", which is helpful for you to grasp the macroeconomic situation.

In politics, Jews are many in the United States, and they have a huge influence in all aspects of the United States, but there are also many political views and performances; I give you one of our basic principles, which is to firmly support President Roosevelt's views, and support him as long as he is alive! Of course, if he dies, you can do whatever you want, I don't interfere! Because I didn't understand it at the time.

Let's talk about Woody first, first, he made extensive friendships with American Jewish businessmen, established his own network with the company's network, and established the team's team and territory of the trading company; The second is that it still started by selling civilian firearms, although the economic crisis in the United States has not had a big impact on the American tycoons, and they still sell their products to Germany and the Soviet Union and make a fortune, and our market positioning is them. Third, it is imperative to find a pharmaceutical and chemical plant with relatively complete equipment and facilities, which is suitable for acquisition by an investment company! The fourth is to buy a manor, as big as possible, to be our temporary base in the United States, the apartment is too cramped! You and Mr. Kozak's are also good to look for, and you will buy them when Kozak's investment is returned! Help me find a school to arrange for my sister to go to school! ”

"Mr. Li, I wrote it down!"

"Alright, Woody, hurry up and I'll discuss silver investment with Mr. Kozak."

"Mr. Kozak......."

"Mr. Li, call me Isaac, look kind!"

"Good! Isaac, Isaac will be called our thing in the future. In our investment application in the United States, I suggest that an investment company, an investment bank, and a commercial bank should be used as the basic framework, and the bank should be placed under the control of the investment company. In the future, a financial operation pattern will be formed with investment companies as the center and several banks as the periphery. ”

"I'm for it! Gain a firm foothold in the United States and then deploy to Europe! Kozak nodded.

"I don't care about the specific operation; As for the direction of long-term investment, it is war resources. Such as shipbuilding, aircraft, automobiles, firearms and other enterprise stocks; Raw materials such as petroleum, copper, aluminum, titanium, etc., of which copper needs to be exported to China, and titanium is accumulated for a long time; Steel, oil fields and refineries, we only do speculation, not control production. We controlled our own enterprises, the first round was a pharmaceutical and chemical factory, a firearms factory and a security company. Dabble in cars and airplanes where you can. It's just the direction, and Isaac himself has to grasp the specifics. ”

"Sir, I made a note and I will continue to research."

"All the business that belongs to the investment is confidential, and it is best that only the two of us know, Isaac, you are going to build your own team, and the cause depends on everyone's joint efforts! This is the 2.5 million ounce silver futures voucher bought in London, and it's up to you to put it to use! ”

Isaac took it and looked at it carefully and said, "Okay! You can take out a mortgage and then allocate funds to purchase a batch of silver. We have harvested this wave of market, and my investment direction will be adjusted, and I am ready to focus on long-term investment, supplemented by short-term speculation. ”

I nodded yes, and it didn't take much effort to talk to someone who understood.

The manor is located in the Bronx district in the east of New York Island, across the water from Queens, and now belongs to the remote area of New York, scattered with some manors, which is considered a residential area for the wealthy in New York. The estate has a three-storey building of more than 3,000 square meters, which should belong to the architectural style of the Mediterranean side. The entire courtyard is about 800 acres. If you are far away, you have to buy a car, and it is only more than $5,000 to buy 10 cars. Dawu was instructed to inform the relevant personnel in Shanghai, Xi'an, Berlin, and other relevant departments of the addresses and telephone numbers one by one.

The security company registered in this manor and arranged for Han Ping to recruit 10 people for training. Regardless of skin color, regardless of ethnicity, Austria, except for the Japanese!

Xiaoya went to a private middle school, studied with her for another year, and then thought about going to college! The iron egg will not be killed or gone! Forget it, there's nothing you can do about it! He's become his own little tail. Xiaoya doesn't want to go either? Aunt Liu told her that as long as she couldn't die, she had to go.

The purchase of a pharmaceutical factory did not go well, after all, no matter how much money there is, you have to take medicine! And the poorer you are, the sicker you are! Let's build a laboratory for Aunt Liu in the manor first, and recruit two engineers to do it first. Solve the problem of sulfonamide synthesis first, and no longer consider extracting from dyes, otherwise mass production will be subject to German patents; Penicillin research lags behind.

New York's industrial areas are concentrated in Brooklyn, and I drove with Woody and Smith a few times. I have seen a few bankrupt machining enterprises, and the ordnance production enterprises, such as those that manufacture artillery barrels, are relatively large, and now they are still enterprises that the government wants to support as much as possible.

You can consider buying a few adjacent factories, dismantling the equipment and transporting it back to China, purchasing new equipment and precision equipment to manufacture high-precision firearms and making firearms research sites, and the appreciation of the land in the future is also extremely considerable. The arsenal may have to consider putting it in San Francisco, and the war wealth itself will have to be shared.

You still need to wait for Isaac's money, so it's better to hire a few engineers to study first! His goal in the United States in the early stage is to develop anti-tank weapons suitable for China's situation, first of all, individual anti-tank weapons, so that the humble factories in Xi'an can also produce them, and the cost must be lower, and China will not be able to accept the cost if the cost is too high!

On May 23, Isaac excitedly ran to the estate with the newspaper, and the U.S. Congress passed the Silver Purchase Act, just waiting for the President of the U.S. to sign it into law. And it's impossible not to sign, it's just a matter of time. I couldn't help but say that I pulled everyone to drink, others didn't do anything, he was drunk and messy, and it seemed that he was going to say goodbye to his depressed self in the past.

Out of more than 50 applications, an ammunition engineer named James Catlett was hired as an engineer at the Colt Arsenal; A firearms engineer named Donner Shearer was an engineer at the Springfield Arsenal. They are all in their forties, looking old and dignified.
