Volume Two Chapter 248: The Eyes of All Eyes
There is a saying in later generations that the United States controls global finance, while the Jews controls American wallets. In the United States, it is not the president, senator, etc. that can determine the direction of this country's policies, but the large consortium hidden behind the scenes.
These consortiums have more or less the shadow of Jews. As a successful Jewish businessman, Marcos immigrated to the United States and soon established his own business kingdom in this new continent.
As early as when the political situation in Europe was unstable, Marcos gradually transferred his assets from the European continent to the United States. In addition, a series of cooperation with Fang Zida before and after the beginning of the European war, Marcos' personal capital continued to increase at a geometric level.
To date, although Marcos's business kingdom is not as large as those old-fashioned consortiums, it is also one of the large consortiums in the American business world.
"Old friend, how is the progress of what I entrust you to do?" The two of them talked about it. After smoking a cigar, Fang Zida took the initiative to ask about it.
"Haha, Fang, I thought you wouldn't ask." Marcos joked: "Everything went well. I've already arranged the meeting. Then there will be Mather, Hanna, Humphrey, Eaton,
McCormick and Wood’s families participated. By the way, Morgan is also very interested in this and may also send representatives.”
Fang Zida was excited, Mather, Hanna, Humphrey, Eaton, McCormick, and Wood, these outsiders didn't know their background. Fang Zida didn't understand their portion size. Just these six families can represent it.
The two major consortiums in the US: Cleveland Consortium and Chicago Consortium, if Morgan Xiao is involved, will almost bring half of the US spire consortium. The combined strength of these consortiums is enough to rival a country. For Fang Zida's plan
Definitely good news.
But the only drawback is that the Rockefeller Consortium is not included, and Citigroup participation is missing. After all, the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family are somewhat inconsistent, and they also hold a large number of shares of the Citigroup. It is normal for Rockefeller to be out of the cooperation field where Morgan participates.
But in Fang Zida's view, he still needs to negotiate with the Rockefeller Consortium and try to get them to join their camp to master more bargaining chips.
After thinking about it, Fang Zida expressed his opinion to Marcos. Marcos frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "To be honest, my friend, you also know the relationship between Rockefeller and Morgan. This may be difficult..."
"No matter how difficult it is, you have to try it, right?" Fang Zida smiled and said, "This way, I will arrive in New York three days in advance on the scheduled date. Please help me meet Rockefeller and Morgan in private. I want to talk to them separately.
.”
"This...if you have to do this, I can help arrange it, but there is no guarantee that they will agree to meet you." Marcos thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
"Haha, it's okay." Fang Zida stood up with a smile, walked to the table and opened the drawer. He took out the paper and wrote two letters, wrapped it in the envelope, and handed it to Marcos: "Old friend, bring this to them separately,
I think they should agree with me after seeing these."
Marcos took it with a smile, and he was very curious about the content of the letter. He didn't know what Fang Zida wrote in the letter. Moreover, this time Fang Zida asked him to convene a meeting of the US spire consortium. Although Marcos was extremely trusting with Fang Zida.
After taking on this job, he only knew that Fang Zida had a huge business plan, but what kind of plan was Marcos so far, so after he put the letter down, he couldn't help but
Ask.
"Old friend, it's not that I don't believe you, but the plan to keep the secret cannot be disclosed for the time being. You will know when the time comes. Of course, I can assure you that if the plan is successful, we will change the whole world!"
Fang Zida's confident look puzzled Marcos. Is this plan really so exaggerated? Change the world? Can they really do it with just their businessmen? Where did Fang Zida get such strong confidence? Marcos doubted this
.However, after thinking about it, since he met Fang Zida, his former partner and old friend have made many achievements that ordinary people cannot imagine. With his extremely smart mind and wisdom, and who controls Chinese finances
Rights, coupled with the support of these consortiums' huge capital, may not be sure to succeed.
In San Francisco, Fang Zida stayed for two days. After meeting with the expatriate representatives and having a long talk with Situ Meitang, their party boarded the train across the American continent under the escort of the guards sent by the US government.
It took five days to travel across the vast western part and the train arrived in Kansas, then headed north through Chicago for a short stop, and then continued to Washington.
Compared with the west, which had just been developed for a few years, the eastern United States is prosperous, especially the large industrial cities are full of huge factories and facilities. The workers are busy working overtime to produce products, and countless materials are transported eastward through the railway network.
The coast is loaded and sent to Europe for wealth.
As the train gradually went east, the followers who were dissatisfied with it gradually widened their eyes. After arriving in Chicago, not to mention Jiang Zhiqing and Dai Jitao, who had never been to the United States, even the calm and gentle manner of the whole time
Yang Du's expression changed drastically, and he stared at the power of the industry that was showing in front of them.
Only then did they understand why Fang Zida said that on the ship. This country, which is no less than that of the entire Europe and China, has such a powerful industry. Isn’t its rise inevitable? Compared with the United States,
Not to mention the industry and commerce that have just emerged for a few years, even traditional European powers cannot match it. Moreover, this is a vibrant and new country with almost infinite potential.
After Chicago and continuing eastward, there were countless cities like this. When it was time for Washington, Fang Zida was invited to the White House to have a conversation with Woodrow Wilson. Of course, this conversation had no substantive significance, but was just a ceremony.
Most sex. But Fang Zida still used this conversation to express the goodwill and willingness of cooperation to the US government. Under the leadership of President Wilson, he signed several business agreements between the two countries with the US Department of Commerce.
Leaving Washington, Fang Zida continued to travel east, and two days later, he finally arrived at his final destination - New York, the heart of the United States. Compared with the industrial cities in the east, New York is the financial center of the United States and the largest city in the United States. Arriving in New York, it was originally
Jiang Zhiqing and others who thought they had already felt the mighty American situation were shocked again. Chicago's family insurance building had already amazed them, but there were taller and more majestic skyscrapers in New York, World Building, Manhattan Life Insurance Building, Park
Street building, Shengjia building, Metropolitan Life Insurance Group building, Woolworth building... These buildings above 100 meters high stand like giants in the blooming New York, giving people a strong sense of impact.
If they had initially deeply experienced the power of American industry, and in New York they saw the terribleness of American finance. Compared with New York, it is called Paris in the East, and the Chinese people are proud of going to the sea.
The ugly duckling, not to mention Japan, which is known as the most powerful country in Asia, is several centuries behind the dilapidated Tokyo and New York.
"The frog in the well, today I know the face of the world!"
Standing in front of the Woolworth Building, which is 241 meters high and 57 floors, Yang Du raised his head and almost folded his back. Finally, he could barely see the phantom on the roof. He lowered his head, and he couldn't help but sigh in secret.
Jiang Zhiqing and Dai Jitao around them had long seen each other, their mouths were so wide that they could just stuff an egg into them.
Fang Zida was not surprised at all about their reaction. This was also to take them across the ocean and let them experience the might of the United States. Compared with the United States, China is just starting out and as a national decision-maker’s eye.
We must be lofty and experience the most advanced and powerful national atmosphere in the world, which will be of great benefit to the future.
Unfortunately, the Empire State Building will not be built in more than ten years, otherwise it would be more shocking to them. But this is enough. At least the phenomenon in the United States has opened their eyes and understood that in this world, it is not only
Only Japan can learn, and there are far better examples than Japan that can be used for reference by China.
Fang Zida and his party collapsed in the Woolworth Building. Before he came, he booked a room and booked a full 53 floors. As a key member of the Chinese government, Fang Zida arrived at the building, a wealthy man from a retailer, the building
Mr. Woolworth, the owner, came out to welcome the guests in person and had a brief conversation in the hall. Fang Zida politely declined Mr. Woolworth's invitation to dinner, but he agreed to Woolworth's participation in their plan in three days.
After entering the elevator, Fang Zida couldn't help but shake his head and smiled. Woolworths was able to go from a small department store to a rich man, and he naturally had his keen sense of smell. The business talks were so confidential that he actually found out.
A horse trace of dotted beads and silk.
Although Fang Zida's real purpose in coming to the United States is kept secret, his actions are actually clear in the eyes of those who are interested. Although the core of his plan has not been known to outsiders so far, the US government and consortium have been closely watching it, and they are in Washington with Wilson.
During the presidential talks, the President stumbled on Fang Zida's tone. Fang Zida also properly disclosed some content and ensured that his business plan was of great benefit to both China and the United States and was completely in line with the United States.
Benefits. Otherwise, would Fang Zida think he has the ability to hide the truth? Can he keep such a big deal in the United States completely confidential? Look at the few guys who were strolling around in plain clothes outside the floor. Are these sent by the US government
