After hearing what Eli Morgan said, Fang Lang understood.
Although his collaboration with Eli Morgan brought him huge returns on investment.
But the friendship of the Morgan family that he promised to give himself was obviously not something he could decide alone.
Maybe today's negotiations on the European aid plan are just an interview.
The patriarch of the Morgan family and the chairman of Morgan Company personally interviewed him to see if he was really qualified to be a friend of the Morgan family.
And Harken Morgan's original attitude was definitely that he was not willing to accept his side.
As for Charles Morgan's attitude, Fang Lang could not confirm it.
But now it seems that the effect of this meeting was very good. At least I should have passed the interview.
Became a friend of 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, you may also be able to get considerable help from the Morgan family.
As a Chinese who is highly regarded by others, Fang Lang originally wanted to say a few words of modesty.
However, thinking that Europeans and Americans would not like this, I just said:
“I am honored to be friends with the Morgan family.
Believe me, your friendship will be more than rewarded! "
The three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.
The topic of the next few people began to become specific.
After explanations from several people from the Morgan family, Fang Lang finally realized that the so-called European aid plan had not actually been proposed yet.
However, several major financial groups in the United States have reached a consensus and have begun to move forward quietly.
Once we reach an agreement on the distribution of benefits among the various consortiums, we can move forward quickly.
The reason why Fang Lang was notified in advance to come for the negotiation was to clarify Fang Lang's goal and integrate Fang Lang's interests with the interests of the Morgan Consortium.
What Fang Lang didn't expect was that the plan would not actually be implemented in 1948 as Fang Lang had learned from history.
According to Halken Morgan, immediately after former British Prime Minister Churchill delivered his important "Iron Curtain Speech" in the United States, he proposed a plan to President Truman to curb the continued development of the Soviet Communist Party.
The focus was to help Greece and Türkiye, which were at the forefront of the fight against the Soviet Union.
But President Truman had not yet communicated and coordinated this matter with his staff team, so he did not directly agree to Churchill's request.
After Churchill returned to Britain, he still used his influence in Britain to provide certain assistance to Greece and Türkiye.
Unfortunately, Britain is no longer the former empire on which the sun never sets. The British government, which had just experienced the devastation of the world war, was simply unable to take care of itself.
The support that can be provided to these two countries is also very limited.
So, Britain turned to the United States again, hoping that the United States could lend a helping hand.
This also accelerated the progress of major American financial groups in finalizing European aid plans.
Since it was agreed upon as aid, it certainly could not be openly discussed as Fang Lang had discussed with the Morgan family about how to divide the benefits.
Instead, it is to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in the recipient countries and restore their economies.
Reconstruct roads, buildings, industries, agriculture, commerce, etc. destroyed by war.
To put it simply, the U.S. government uses funds from the treasury to purchase goods from the United States and transport them to European countries for support.
The money in the treasury must be the taxes paid by Americans.
Therefore, the US government estimates that this plan will not be accepted by the American people.
When Marshall gave his speech, in order to avoid the attention of American newspapers, no American reporters were invited to the speech.
Truman even held a press conference on the same day to divert the attention of domestic media.
But for major financial groups, this is indeed a rare feast.
Just the goods needed to purchase the aid to European countries would be enough to fill the American consortium's stomach.
What's more, this plan lasts for an entire fiscal year, which means that within four years, we don't have to worry about the sales of the products we produce.
But this is only what ordinary people see on the surface.
What is the actual plan?
We can see this from the mission announced by the Economic Cooperation Administration which was established later.
The main contents include: promoting European economic progress, promoting European production development, providing support for the issuance of currency by European countries and promoting international trade.
Of course, there was another more hidden purpose, which was to curb the expansion of the Soviet Union in Europe.
The so-called promotion of European economic progress and the promotion of European production development must involve massive investments in Europe. This is the clarion call for American capital to enter Europe.
This purpose becomes even more obvious when it comes to providing support for currency issuance in European countries.
The simplest and most direct way to control a country's economy is, of course, to control the issuance of that country's currency!
As for promoting international trade, of course it is to make Europe a market for the United States and sell more American goods to Europe.
So, this so-called European development plan is actually a sugar-coated bullet.
But this sugar coating is something Europe cannot refuse.
After two days of closed-door talks between Fang Lang and the Morgan family.
Fang Lang has completely taken advantage of the Morgan family.
Soon, with the support of the Brazilian Development Bank team and the help of the Morgan family, Global Group acquired three small local banks in the United States.
There are many such local banks in the United States, and as a new small financial group in the United States, it was not difficult for Global Group to acquire them.
After the integration, the new bank became a medium-sized bank with more than 60 branches in the United States.
Soon after, Morgan & Co. announced that it had acquired a stake in this little-known bank, becoming the bank's second largest shareholder with 30 percent of the bank's shares. The bank was officially renamed JPMorgan Bank Global.
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 Europe including Britain, France, Germany and Italy.
Of course, a branch was also opened in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
At the same time, Global Shipping Company, a subsidiary of Global Group, transferred 35% of its shares to Morgan Company.
Morgan did not pay cash to TWA, but instead used its own channels to acquire 20% of the shares of Allstate Insurance Company, which was founded in 1931, for TWA.
This makes Global Group the third largest shareholder of Allstate Insurance Company.
Immediately afterwards, under the promotion of Global Group, Allstate Insurance Company and Brazilian Development Bank jointly established Allstate Insurance Branch in Brazil.
Then, with the help of Global Group and Global Morgan Bank, Nice Company tore a hole in the headquarters of Bunge, the largest grain import and export company in the United States.
The American branch of Nice Company was established.
The goal of establishing this company is, of course, to export civilian supplies as part of the European support plan.
Bunge is very wary of Nice, which is driving it out of South America.
But this time, the entry of Nice Company has the shadow of Morgan Consortium behind it.
Bunge cannot resort to excessive means and can only suppress it through normal business competition.
The Nice company, which has the support of the entire Brazilian agricultural sector, is obviously not afraid of normal business competition.
Therefore, Nice Company quickly established a foothold in the United States.
Originally, this was just a chess piece dropped by Fang Lang to export grain, oil, sugar, wine and other daily necessities to Europe.
Unexpectedly, this greatly excited government officials in Brazil.
The Social Democratic Party, which is supported by Nice Company, has seen its popularity soar.
Fang Lang, who gained a lot in the United States, did not return to China immediately. After all, his visit to the United States was nominally to pave the way for the construction of a military academy in Brazil.
So, after Fang Lang picked up Lilith in Boston, he began his inspection trip to American military academies.
As to whether this investigation is serious or not, it is not for outsiders to know.
…
Office of Section 2, Logistics Department, Natal Naval Base, Brazil.
"Sir, a telegram from Fernando de Noronha."
A radio operator handed a folder to Section Chief Sirio Recchi.
Syrio Reci nodded, took the folder from the radio operator and opened it casually.
The above information made Syrio Recchi's eyes light up. He finally found an important person.
The telegram read:
[It has been found that there are 3,000 Japanese on the island. The Japanese leader is named Mizuno Nobuyoshi. His specific origins are yet to be investigated.]
In recent days, the intelligence agents who have sneaked into the island have sent over some of the intelligence they have collected that day every day.
Now, Section 2 of the Intelligence Department has gained a certain understanding of the various forces in the Fernando de Noronha Islands.
"Three thousand people? This is not a small number. It exceeds the total number of others!
It seems that these damn Japanese are quite ambitious!"
After closing the telegram in his hand, he turned to the operator and said:
"Call back, the munitions are about to arrive on the island, please be careful!"
"Yes, sir!"
After the radio operator made the record, he stood at attention, saluted, and turned to leave.
Cirio Reci thought carefully and felt like he had heard this Japanese name, Mizuno Nobuyoshi, somewhere before.
Leaning on the table, closing his eyes and thinking.
He quickly slapped his thigh, remembering where he had heard this name.
Isn’t this the Japanese who was illegally mining and was captured by General Fang when he was carrying out the plan to eliminate the Japanese after taking over Natal?
This person is not dead. What happened?
"Someone, ask the police department to send us the files of all the Japanese deported from Natal."
Syrio Reci directly instructed his men.
The current deputy chief of the Natal Police Department was originally from the Second Section of the Logistics Department.
So, if you want to retrieve a file from the police station, don't be too relaxed.
More than twenty minutes later, an agent from Section 2 came into Syrio Reci's office carrying a thick file.
Syrio Recchi took them and counted them carefully, and found that there were more than four hundred copies.
The file at the top of the list belonged to Mizuno Nobuyoshi.
He took out the file and looked at it carefully. It would have been fine if he hadn't read it, but once he saw it, Sirio Reci was so angry that he was fuming.
It is clearly written in the file that the crime is stealing national mineral resources, the circumstances are serious and the sentence is life imprisonment.
But then there was the signed opinion of Bill Yakubu, the deputy chief of police.
It clearly stated that the offender would be fined 10,000 Cruzeiros and then deported.
Without asking, Cyrio Reci could guess that Bill Yakub must have received a lot of benefits.
Otherwise, even if he was to be deported, the fine would not be just 10,000 Cruzeiros.
This amount of money could at most bail out a thief, but the person released now is a serious criminal sentenced to life imprisonment.
Even a blind man can see that there is something wrong here.
"Bill Yakubu, this bastard, really deserves to die!
How dare you be so bold. "
Then, Syrio Recchi opened several more files in succession.
When you open the back, you will see Bill Yakubu's signature everywhere. Everyone has the same solution.
As he watched, Syrio Reci felt something was wrong.
