Chapter 321
Hearing Ellie Morgan’s words, Fang Lang understood.
Although I cooperated with Avery Morgan, it brought him a huge return on investment.
But the friendship he promised himself to the Morgan family is obviously not something he can decide on his own.
Maybe today’s negotiation on the European aid plan is just an interview.
The patriarch of the Morgan family and the chairman of the Morgan company personally interviewed himself to see if he was really qualified to be a friend of the Morgan family.
Halken Morgan’s original attitude was affirmative, that is, he was not willing to accept his side.
As for Charles Morgan’s attitude, Fang Lang couldn’t confirm it.
But now it seems that the effect of this meeting is still very good, at least I should have passed the interview.
became friends with the Morgan family.
In the future, when investing in the United States and Europe, not only will you not have to worry about being deliberately targeted, but you may also get a lot of help from the Morgan family.
As a Chinese, Fang Lang, who was favored by others, originally wanted to be humble.
However, thinking that Europeans and Americans don’t like this, so I said directly:
“I am honored to be friends with the Morgan family.
Believe me, your friendship will definitely be rewarded in excess! ”
The three of them looked at each other and laughed loudly.
The topics of the next few people began to become more specific.
After being explained by several members of the Morgan family, Fang Lang realized that the so-called European aid plan had not actually been proposed yet.
However, several major consortiums in the United States have unified their opinions and began to advance silently.
Only wait for the distribution of benefits between the various consortiums to reach an agreement, and then they can move forward quickly.
The reason why Fang Lang was notified in advance to come to negotiate is to clarify Fang Lang’s goal and add Fang Lang’s interests to the interests of the Morgan consortium.
What Fang Lang didn’t expect was that the time when the plan actually started to be implemented was not 1948, which Fang Lang learned from history.
According to Halken Morgan, former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill proposed to President Truman a plan to curb the continued development of the Soviet Communist Party as soon as he delivered the important “Iron Curtain Speech” in the United States.
The focus is to help the frontline Greece and Turkey resist the Soviet Communist Party.
But at that time, President Truman had not communicated and coordinated with the staff team on this matter, so he did not directly agree to Churchill.
After Churchill returned to the UK, he still used his influence in the UK to provide certain assistance to Greece and Turkey.
It’s a pity that Britain is no longer the original empire on which the sun never sets. The British government, which has just experienced the devastation of the world war, simply can’t take care of itself.
The support that can be provided to these two countries is also very limited.
So, Britain found the United States again, hoping that the United States can help.
This has also accelerated the progress of major US consortiums in determining the European aid plan.
Since the agreement is about aid, of course it is impossible to divide up the benefits as Fang Lang negotiated with the Morgan family.
Instead, it is necessary to solve the problem of food and clothing for the citizens of the recipient countries and restore the economy of the recipient countries.
Rehabilitation of roads, buildings, industries, agriculture, commerce, etc. damaged due to war.
To put it simply, the U.S. government uses funds from the treasury to purchase goods from the United States and ship them to European countries for support.
The money in the treasury must be the taxes paid by Americans.
Therefore, the U.S. government estimates that this plan will not be accepted by the American people.
When Marshall gave a speech, in order to avoid the attention of American newspapers on the speech, no American reporters were invited to the speech site.
Even Truman deliberately held a press conference on the same day to divert the attention of the domestic media.
But for the major financial groups, this is indeed a rare feast.
Just aiding European countries on the bright side, the goods that need to be purchased can make the American consortium full.
What’s more, this plan lasts for one fiscal year, that is to say, within four years, the products produced by everyone don’t have to worry about sales at all.
But this is only for ordinary people to see.
And what is the real plan?
We can see it from the mission announced by the later established Economic Cooperation Administration.
The main contents include: promoting European economic progress, promoting the development of European production, providing support for the issuance of currencies in European countries, and promoting international trade.
Of course, there is also a more secret purpose, which is to contain the expansion of the Soviet Communist Party in Europe.
The so-called promotion of European economic progress and the promotion of European production development must mean a large amount of investment in Europe. This is the clarion call for American capital to enter Europe.
And to provide support for the currency issuance of European countries, this purpose is even more obvious.
The easiest and most direct way to control a country’s economy is, of course, to control the country’s currency issuance!
As for promoting international trade, of course it is to make Europe a market for the United States and sell more goods from the United States to Europe.
So, this so-called European development plan is actually a sugar-coated projectile.
But this sugar coating is something that Europe cannot refuse.
After two consecutive days of closed-door talks between Fang Lang and the Morgan family.
Fang Lang has completely hitched a ride with the Morgan family.
Soon, with the support of the Brazil Development Bank team and the help of the Morgan family, Global Group acquired three small regional banks in the United States.
There are many such local banks in the United States. As a small emerging consortium in the United States, Universal Group did not take much trouble to acquire them.
After the integration, the new bank has directly become a medium-sized bank with more than 60 outlets in the United States.
Immediately afterwards, Morgan announced that it would take a stake in this little-known bank, becoming the second largest shareholder of the bank, owning 30% of the bank’s shares. The bank officially changed its name to Global Morgan Bank.
Then, with the help of J.P. Morgan & Co., the company began to expand rapidly.
By the end of 1946, branches had been opened in European countries such as Britain, France, Germany, and Italy.
Of course also opened a branch in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
At the same time, the Global Shipping Company under the Universal Group transferred 35% of the shares to Morgan.
The Morgan Company did not pay cash to the Universal Shipping Company, but acquired a 20% stake in Allstate Insurance Company, which was established in 1931, for the Universal Group through its own channels.
Let Universal Group become the third shareholder of Allstate Insurance Company.
Immediately after the impetus of Global Group, Allstate Insurance Co., Ltd. and the Brazilian Development Bank jointly established a Brazilian Allstate Insurance Branch in Brazil.
Immediately afterwards, with the help of Global Group and Global Morgan Bank, Nice Company tore a hole in the headquarters of Bunge Corporation, the largest grain import and export enterprise in the United States.
Established the American branch of Nice Company.
The purpose of this company’s establishment is of course to export the people’s livelihood materials in the European support plan.
Bunge is very vigilant against the nice company that drives itself out of South America.
But the entry of Nice Company this time has the shadow of the Morgan consortium behind it.
Bunge is not good at using some excessive means, and can only suppress it through some normal commercial competition.
Nice Company, which has the support of the entire Brazilian agriculture, is obviously not afraid of normal commercial competition.
So, Nice company quickly gained a firm foothold in the United States.
Originally, this was just a chess piece that Fang Lang dropped when he exported grain, oil, sugar and wine and other livelihood materials to Europe.
Unexpectedly, it made government officials in Brazil very excited.
The Social Democratic Party supported by the Nice Company has gained even more prestige.
Fang Lang, who had a huge harvest in the United States, did not return to China immediately. After all, this visit to the United States was nominally to give a frontier to the construction of a military academy in Brazil.
So, after Fang Lang picked up Lilith in Boston, he started his inspection tour of the US Military Academy.
As for whether this investigation is serious, it is not enough for outsiders to know.
Brazil, Natal Naval Base Logistics Division II Office.
“Sir, there is a telegram from Fernando de Noronha.”
A telegrapher handed a folder to section chief Sirio Leitch.
Sirio Leitch nodded, took the folder from the telegraph operator and opened it casually.
The above information made Sirio Leitch’s eyes shine, and he finally found an important person.
I saw the telegram read:
【After investigation, there are 3,000 Japanese people on the island, and the Japanese leader is named Mizuno Shingi. The specific origin is yet to be investigated. 】
In the past few days, the intelligence agents who have sneaked into the island will send over some intelligence detected that day every day.
Now, the Second Division of the Intelligence Department has a certain understanding of the various forces on the Fernando de Noronha Islands.
“Three thousand people? This is not a small number, it exceeds the sum of the other people!
It seems that these **** Japanese have a lot of ambitions! ”
After closing the telegram in his hand, he turned to the operator and said:
“Call back, arms are coming to the island, please pay attention to safety!”
“Yes, sir!”
After taking notes, the radio operator stood at attention and saluted, then turned and left.
Sirio Leitch recalled carefully, the Japanese name Mizuno Xinyi, I always feel like I heard it somewhere.
Leaning on the table, closing his eyes and meditating.
Quickly slapped his thigh, thinking of where he had heard of this name.
Isn’t this the Japanese who was caught illegally mining when General Fang took over Natal and carried out the plan to clear the Japanese?
This person is not dead, what’s the matter?
“Come here, let the police station send all the files of Japanese deported from Natal.”
Sirio Leitch directly ordered his subordinates to say.
The current Deputy Director of the Natal Police Department was originally from the Second Division of the Logistics Department.
So, if you want to transfer a file from the police station, don’t take it too easy.
More than 20 minutes later, an agent from the Second Division entered Sirio Reich’s office with a thick file.
Sirio Leitch took it and counted it carefully, and there were more than 400 copies.
And the file on the top of it is Mizuno Shinichi.
Pull out this file and check it carefully. It doesn’t matter if you don’t read it. When you see Sirio Reich, you will be so angry that you will be smoked from all seven orifices.
The file clearly stated that the charge was illegal mining of national mineral resources, the circumstances were serious, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment.
But behind it came the signed opinion of Bill Yakub, the deputy chief of the police station.
Impressively wrote a fine of 10,000 Cruzeiros, and then deported.
No need to ask, Sirio Leitch can guess that this Bill Yakub must have received a lot of benefits.
Otherwise, even if it is to be deported, it is impossible to punish only 10,000 Cruzeiros.
With this amount of money, at most one thief can be released on bail, but the one released now is a serious criminal who was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Blind people can see that there is a problem here.
“Bill Jacob, this bastard, really deserves death!
To be so bold. ”
Then, Sirio Reich opened several files in succession.
After opening, all of them are signed by Bill Yakub, and everyone has the same solution.
Looking at Sirio Reich, he felt something was wrong.
