The journey starts from the Titanic

Since the beginning of the war, Wall Street has been lending money to the Allied Powers to purchase American supplies. This is not the first time. If the amount is not too large, the United Kingdom is a bit painful, and it is reluctant to make such a large sum of money easily made by the Wall Street gang. If you go, the negotiations will not be deadlocked.

However, the British were desperate. The Battle of the Somme in France took place in July today. It lasted from July to November. Both sides suffered heavy losses. Both sides lost more than 1.34 million troops, of which 45 were British troops. There were more than 10,000 people, 340,000 people in the French army, and 538,000 people in the German army. It was in this battle that the British used tanks for the first time in human history, but they have been fruitless since they began to achieve certain results.

Now even if the Allied powers have the upper hand, Britain and France are no longer able to attack. As for the Russians, they are almost a soy saucer after 1917.The gray animals are not enough for the German Maxine heavy machine gun to fire as many bullets!

In the end, Ferguson still succumbed to Wall Street, but before that, it did not prevent him from assigning one of the fats to Robes Securities, (he can also drink soup from it, this is the key), not to mention Rob Ferguson had sufficient reasons to persuade London after this strong assurance that the U.S. government declared war on Germany.

Stuart believes that Morgan’s group has nothing to say. They have already made too much. Take this treasury bond sale as an example. Although Robles Securities ate a piece of meat, most of the meat went to Morgan. That group is in the hands.In terms of killing people, Morgan and Robles are no different, except that the size of the knife is different, and the cut meat is also different.

Those people also control a big killer called the Federal Reserve!Dollars are all stamped out in this big killer.After the United States entered the war, the government would borrow heavily from banks in order to collect military spending. A large part of these tens of billions of dollars of national debt would fall into the hands of Wall Street bankers.

This is a crazy era. There is nothing more profitable than speculative wars. Anyway, forehands are fast and slow. In order to grab a piece of the pie, Situ Nan and Robles had to venture into this big gambling.

"Come, a toast to our cooperation!" In the dark study, three embarrassed men toasted and drank.

Luminous glass of grape wine.Under the light, how did Situ Nan feel that the red wine in his hand looked particularly bloody?

Sure enough, things did not go beyond Situ Nan's expectations. A week later, good news finally came from London, and the deal was officially approved.

According to Situ Nan's idea, this matter should not be too public, lest Robes Securities becomes a target of public criticism.Even if you can't stop it, try to delay the announcement.But how can the shrewd British make Situ Nan and the others make money so refreshingly!

In order to put pressure on other banks on Wall Street, at Ferguson's request, Robes Securities had to announce the cooperation plan three days later.

Of course, the details of the contract should be kept confidential, especially the regulations on the exchange of national debt for materials, and it is not easy to make other companies jealous.As for Robes Securities’ commitment to the U.S. government to declare war on Germany, it can only be understood. It is impossible to include it in the contract.

Regarding this promise, Situ Nan is also untrue. It should be said that it is done, and it is cheaper to sell, because even if Robles Securities does not spend money to invite people to lobby, the US government will also participate in the war. Robles Securities It's just an inevitable result of selling to the British.

Now that the blood of both the Allies and the Allies is almost left, the U.S. industry is ready for war after more than two years of mobilization.Situ Nan finally got his wish and got the blue and white porcelain in the Robles home collection and the precious ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting.

If a business of more than 100 million is completed, does Robles care about the two collections?The collections in his family are all collected by the former owner, and Robles has nothing to do with these things. It is better to put them in the hands of people who truly appreciate them.

Soon after reaching a deal with Robes Securities, Ferguson then reached an agreement with J.P. Morgan and Citigroup. Except for the $300 million U.S. Treasury bonds sold to Robes Securities, the remaining 2.7 billion went to Morgan. The leading Wall Street Banking Group took the hands. Morgan received a one-time return of 30 million US dollars by charging a 1% handling fee!

"top!"

When Robles and Situ Nan mentioned it, even though he had expected it, Situ Nan couldn't help but marvel, this is the gap!

It should be known that according to the agreement between the Bank of England and Robles Securities, Robles Securities will provide the other party with the first US$50 million in cash within the first month of the contract’s effectiveness. Take part of the stocks of large companies to mortgage to the bank.

Fortunately, in addition to the first time such a large sum of money, other payments can be paid to the British in installments or mortgages.

James, who was far away in Los Angeles, was almost stunned by this sky-high order. He didn't expect that his boss Situ Nan won such a big order soon after he went to New York. Why didn't he make him feel excited?

happy!

He couldn't wait to squat in the workshop every day, watching the workers leave the produced steel, mortars and other materials from the production line, packed and shipped to the port immediately.

Not only James, but also after Hengda of Houston got the telegram from Situ Nan, he almost jumped for joy.

The order that Situ Nan won back from the British was just in time. Occidental Petroleum has just expanded in the industry and already has enough production capacity to digest the order.

The United Kingdom does not produce oil. Shell's business in the United States is resisted by American oil companies such as Standard Oil and Occidental Petroleum. With limited production capacity and such a large demand, it can only import oil from American oil companies.

Occidental Petroleum used to have limited oil processing capacity, but in order to "grab money", it had to desperately exploit its own oil reserves and sell crude oil to Standard and Shell. But now Occidental Petroleum has developed and has its own refinery. It will sell crude oil cheaply, but sell refined oil, and the price will naturally be much higher.

In the agreement between Stuart and Ferguson, most of the US Treasury bonds were returned to the British with Occidental Petroleum's refined oil.

Situ Nan was lucky. After Ferguson and the fight, the British agreed to purchase some trucks produced by Situ Nan's car factory in Los Angeles. If the effect is good, the order will be increased.

Situ Nan also mentioned it casually. He didn't have much confidence in the original car factory called Raiden Automobile. The former boss was obsessed with making racing cars. Under his hand, the car factory has been half dead and made no money. The scale has not expanded.Maybe this is also Situ Nan's opportunity!

After finishing this treasury bond business, Situ Nan plans to visit Detroit, hoping that Ford and GM will not let themselves down.

In important ports such as Los Angeles, Houston, and Miami, the materials produced by Stuart's companies are constantly being shipped to the UK by sea. Now the Royal Navy has established a more effective escort system.

The British are experts in this regard. Although many ships will be sunk, the waterways entering Britain and France have always been controlled by the Royal Navy.

Even if those merchant ships were sunk by German submarine Stuart, they would not lose too much. After paying a huge insurance premium, the insurance company paid for the losses.

Situ Nan was a little tight on the insurance premiums for those goods, thinking that if he had an insurance company, it would be better.Doesn't the fertilizer flow into outsiders' fields?This guy is getting more and more greedy.

Thinking of this, he hates the Germans a bit more.

But if this is not the case, the British do not need to jump in such a hurry as they are now!

If this were not the case, would the American profiteers' life still be so comfortable?

If this is not the case, Situ Nan has successfully obtained the $300 million national debt from the British at a low price?

contradiction!

Situ Nan laughed at herself for getting cheap and good. As the saying goes, "You can eat salty fish and drink." If you are a bitch, don't even think about setting up a memorial hall. There is no perfect thing in this world.

Speaking of the ship, Situ Nan remembered Francis, the owner of the shipyard that he met on the ship, and the two had reached an intention of cooperation on the ship.

I don't know how Francis is doing things. If he can really win the navy's order, Situ Nan doesn't mind investing money immediately.

Thinking of this, Situ Nan picked up the phone.

"Francis? I'm Stoney!" Situ Nan said.

"Stone, I'm looking for you! There is good news!" The voice of the microphone shook Situ Nan's ear a little, and I could feel the excitement of Francis on the other side of the phone from a long distance.

"It's not clear on the phone, let's talk about it when we meet! I will be in New York in two days." Francis hung up after speaking.

"Hey..."

Situ Nan was a little depressed, this guy must be overjoyed.

In the past two days, Robles was very busy. After taking a large amount of U.S. Treasury bonds from the British, Robles Securities was operating at a high speed like a machine, analyzing prospects, making sales plans, contacting customers, and finding The partners are so busy.

This is the current major event of Robles Securities. This ticket is well done enough to make Robles Securities one of the upper reaches of Wall Street and establish his position on Wall Street.

Those banks in the Midwest are potential customers of Robles Securities, and they are also the basis of Robes Securities and even Stuart Commercial Bank's plans.

Because in the mature and developed industrial zone in the northeast, there has always been the sphere of influence of the Morgan, Rockefeller, Boston, Mellon, Cleveland and other consortia. Situ Nan Robles and the others rushing in will definitely be resisted by those consortia. Not being able to eat mutton makes a show.

At present, only the west represented by California and the south represented by Texas are the "Longxing Land" of Situ Nan, where the world is vast and the potential for development is unlimited. It will not encounter too powerful opponents, so all the way Situ Nan's career has been relatively smooth.

Although it is difficult to sell all of these treasury bonds at once, what Robles Securities needs most now is to establish its own sales network. Only small and medium banks in the Midwest that are not yet fully controlled by the banks of Wall Street in New York can be brought to its own. In the interest camp, Robles Securities can develop rapidly.

Chapter 58: Is This a Beauty?

The busyness of everyone at Robles Securities does not seem to have much to do with Situ Nan, and his life can be regarded as having a good time.

Situ Nan was a little fascinated by art collection, and when he had time, he took Han Gan to the major museums in New York.

Apart from London and Paris, New York has the most museums in the world, and many of them are private museums.After the death of the rich in the United States, it is customary to donate the works of art they collected during their lifetime, so there are many museums named after the rich in New York.
