The journey starts from the Titanic

Harding's cabinet hides huge corruption. Except for the super-rich Andrew, the politically aspiring Secretary of Commerce Hoover, and the low-key Vice President Coolidge, most of the guys have problems.

If Situ Nan and them reminded them a little, those people would become acquainted immediately and even began to wipe their hands and feet clean.

A year later, when the case broke out, some people secretly thanked Situ Nan for helping them cover a lot.

Secretary of Commerce Hoover is one of Situ Nan’s key business partners. After meeting Andrew, Situ Nan met Hoover again.

Speaking of which, the two are still partners.

"Guben Energy Company is going to enter Sumatra, where there are rich gold mines, what do you think?" Situ Nan said straightforwardly.

Hoover is one of the minority shareholders of Guben Energy.

"As a global company, I think Guben Energy should have a variety of attempts."

Hoover smiled, looked at Situ Nan, and said, "I heard that many large companies in the United States intend to invest in Medan? They blow the wind to my ears."

"Aren't these all good things? I think American companies need a new market, and they also welcome American capitalists to invest." Situ Nan smiled.

To say who in the cabinet is most likely to have a good impression of South China is Hoover in front of him.

As Secretary of Commerce, he has been actively working to "go global" for American capital.

Of course, raising domestic tariffs, protecting domestic enterprises, and blocking foreign products is also one of his policies. Anyway, Americans are so arrogant and take advantage of them.

"Of course. This is my duty, and it is incumbent." Hoover nodded with a smile.

Before Situ Nan's appointment with him, the Department of Commerce had received lobbying from American Ford, Chrysler, General Motors and other auto giants, asking the US Department of Commerce to treat the situation in Nanyang in a more positive manner.

Continued turbulence has led to high rubber prices, which has affected the development of the American automobile industry. The American automobile industry needs Nanyang resources.

Most of these resources are in the hands of the Chinese, and they are one of the weights to win over American interest groups.

In addition to the automobile industry, the sluggish US arms industry was also attracted by the war in Southeast Asia.

Cummins, Bethlehem, etc. have all received orders from Meihua. If the US government is more positive, it will bring them more opportunities and allow more Americans to find jobs.

And what can the Dutch bring to the Americans?

They don’t need American products, their oil companies compete with American companies, and American companies rejected by their territories...

Thus, while European newspapers unanimously condemned South China, the New York Times in the United States took another interpretation.

"The Netherlands will not give American companies a chance, but the development of the situation in the Indonesian archipelago now brings new hope to the American business community.

A new country, a brand-new market, needs adventurous Americans to occupy."

Compared with the veiled New York Times, the Los Angeles Times is ruthlessly recounting the cruel colonization of the Indonesian archipelago by the Dutch for hundreds of years.

"The United States emerged from colonial rule. As a leading force in the new world, it should welcome a country like South China, which strives for nationality and equality, instead of following the greedy Europeans."

The Los Angeles Times has a large number of Chinese readers in California. As soon as this statement was made, it was immediately praised.Many immigrants from Europe also sympathized with South China.

While the limelight against KKK racism has completely passed away, there is still some market for South China to pursue equality and independence.

In addition, Cummins Broadcasting Company also joined this discussion, of course, the position will be biased.

Under Situ Nan's secret manipulation, American public opinion is not almost overwhelming to South China like in Europe, and many Americans are still expecting it.

Not long after Situ Nan came to Washington, he received an invitation from Morgan, so he hurried back to New York.

"Congratulations. You made it!" Morgan laughed.

"Thank you. But this is only the first step. They still have to face the pressure of the British." Situ Nan smiled faintly. The relationship between him and Meihua Company Morgan is also very clear, and there is nothing to hide.

For people like Situ Nan and Morgan who are standing at the top of the pyramid, the world is so big that you can see it when you look up.

Situ Nan knew that Morgan was tempted by South China, otherwise he wouldn't find himself. Doing business with the country has always been Morgan's tradition, and South China seems to be a good choice?

Chapter 101

Sure enough, before Situ Nan could speak, he heard Morgan say: "I heard that the South China government is seeking financial help in the United States? I think Morgan Bank would be a good choice. What do you think?"

"Of course." Situ Nan nodded, secretly delighted, looked at the somewhat mysterious Morgan, and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that the investment has been lost? You know that the Dutch may fight back at any time!"

"What does it have to do? The Dutch have long since fallen, and the South China regime is not very strong. I don't believe them very much, but I believe you!" Morgan smiled, looking confident.

I believe Situ Nan is the reason why Morgan decided to invest in Nanhua.

Even if Nanhua "closes", Morgan still has a way to get the loss back because he wants Situ Nan as a guarantee.

What a cunning guy!The business is too smart.Isn't this a business that makes money without losing money?

Situ Nan cursed secretly, but readily agreed to Morgan's suggestion.

Under his guarantee, JPMorgan Commercial Bank provided US$20 million in commercial loans to Meihua Company (now Meihua Company is almost equal to the South China Government), which solved the urgent need of South China’s funds, but the interest was high.

Meihua Company readily agreed. Through this loan, Wall Street was tied to South China's chariot. This is a major breakthrough in South China's diplomacy.

Of course, if there were no guarantees from Situ Nan and the William Consortium, things would have been said twice.

In addition to the 20 million loan from JPMorgan, Situ Nan used his influence to help Meihua Company get another 5 million US dollars from the City Bank of New York.

At the same time, Robles Securities also urgently provided US$10 million in interest-free loans to Meihua.

That adds up to 35 million dollars!

It was this loan that helped Nanhua through the most difficult time.

Situ Nan breathed a sigh of relief with the "gift" Morgan gave.This is the second time that JPMorgan has provided loans to Meihua. Last time Meihua used gold to borrow from Morgan. As the number of times increased and the amount expanded, the influence of the Morgan Consortium on Meihua increased. A lot.

Situ Nan never thought of taking over South China alone. It is also necessary for Morgan and other consortia to enter South China, but he has always been very wary of Morgan's ambitions.

Who knows if the kid will slap a shot and suddenly attack the William Consortium?

However, the pillar industries of the William Consortium include Wells Fargo, Occidental Petroleum, Robles Securities, and Bethlehem United Corporation (jointly held by Mellon), which are larger than many Morgans and Rockefellers, but Stuart has always controlled them very much. strict.

Situ Nan thought for a while, the US economy is gradually recovering, and the companies under it are running well, as if there are no loopholes for others to exploit, so he secretly relieved.

The more critical the moment, the more careful.

Situ Nan warned himself that the show just started, don't be kicked out accidentally.

He was a little bit worried. In fact, investing in South China was just a small move by Morgan Firm. Compared with Wall Street's counterattack in Europe and fighting for financial hegemony with London, Situ Nan's pace was still a bit small.

Of course, his subsidiary Robles Securities also follows Morgan's firm and participates in European investment in a small way.

But thinking that he could control a country, Situ Nan felt a little nervous, especially since this country had placed too much affection on him, which made him worry all the time.
