The journey starts from the Titanic

Situ Nan gritted his teeth and bought the five Lincolns, one of which was given to the South China Embassy in New York.

"This car is not bad!" Situ Meideng laughed.

"It's okay! It's best to use it to pretend." Situ Nan smiled.He came to learn about the results of negotiations between South China and Washington.

The delegation led by Stuart Meiden was welcomed by the United States, and President Harding went to the following states to promote it. However, Secretary of State Dawes and Treasury Secretary Andrew stayed and warmly welcomed the South China delegation.

Very happy to talk in detail?what does that mean?

Chapter 166 Boiling Chinatown

In the 1920s, the United States had an annual surplus in foreign trade, reaching a maximum of 1.1 billion US dollars!With an open door policy, the United States gradually opened up the internal markets of the great powers, and a large number of American products were sold to Europe and Asia in exchange for large amounts of foreign exchange.

The world's gold flows to New York, and the US gold reserves account for half of the world. New York's status as the world's financial center is unshakable.

Correspondingly, the amount of American foreign investment is increasing every year, and hundreds of millions of funds flow from New York to the rest of the world every year.The new South China is also one of the directions of the dollar.

At the same time, the major multinational companies in the United States have made money in foreign trade and investment, including a part of the William Consortium.The underground vault of Robles Securities stores more than 50 million U.S. dollars of gold.

Some were snatched back from Siberia, and some were earned from the joint investment of Situ Nan and the Oppenheimer family in Anglo-American companies. In addition to diamonds, gold mining is also the main business of Anglo-American companies.More gold was earned by Situ Nan from the oil business.

Since South China won the war, Robles not only did not claim South China’s debts, but also actively borrowed from South China. South China became the country where Robles made the most foreign investment.

These are good news for South China.The oil discovery on the island of Sumatra enhanced South China’s national credit. Although not necessarily all of South China’s oil resources, more and more foreign companies have already felt the enthusiasm of capital from South China’s ambitious industrial plans.

The large purchases of American machinery and equipment by South Chinese people have attracted the attention of the American business community. Some medium-sized companies with good strength also hope to get a share of the development of South China, and welcome the arrival of the South China delegation.

Situ Meideng smiled and told Situ Nan that after he discussed with US Secretary of State Dawes, the US government is willing to provide South China with a $100 million commercial loan.

Obviously Andrew contributed a lot to this matter. As the US Treasury Secretary, he has a great say.

"Although it is just an intention and has not been completely determined, this matter will not go away." Situ Meiden laughed. "Americans see the potential of South China and want to improve the international status of the dollar. It is not surprising that they are willing to spend money. Anyway, in the end Money falls into their pockets."

Excluding the commercial cooperation of the companies under the William Consortium, there will be US$4.5 billion in foreign investment in South China in the next few years. It is indeed a terror!Situ Meideng was very excited.

This mentality is exactly the same as those GDP officials who just opened up a hundred years later.After all, one's own control of state power and the pursuit of seizure of state power are completely two faces, and the attitude towards foreign investment is naturally completely different.

Seeing Situ Meideng's blooming smile, Situ Nan thought to himself, before that he was worried about Situ Meideng's political talent.

However, compared with the US Dawes Plan and later the Young Plan, which invested billions of dollars in Germany, the current US investment in South China is actually not much.

"Think of how to spend it yet?" Situ Nan asked.

"Part of infrastructure construction, part of the army, part of government public expenditure, part of education." Situ Meiden laughed.

He is really not afraid of borrowing now. Although the South China government may feel a little uncomfortable after carrying a lot of debts, compared with building a national industry, a small amount of money is nothing.

Obviously, this is a sum of money, and every department scores a point. After going back, there must be some bargaining.

Most of South China's resources are controlled by several major consortia such as the US-China Consortium. The important task of national industrial construction also falls on several large-scale projects jointly constructed by these consortia and large foreign companies.Even a large number of soldiers have been discharged from the army and transferred to the reserve. These arrangements are also handled by Meihua.

The South China government does not have much money, and it will not be responsible for all aspects. It is inevitable that there will be some omissions.After all, it is taking the capitalist road.

After hearing that Situ Meideng was willing to spend a portion of his funds to invest in education, Situ Nan nodded with confidence, without delving into how to use the international loan....

"Revisiting the old place, today's scenery is better than before!"

The South China delegation visited New York’s Chinatown. The Chinatown was full of gongs and drums and rejoiced. The unique lion dance custom in the South was also moved out and attracted many audiences.

Even the police in New York were dispatched to do a good job of security on the streets, looking at the cheerful Chinese, their eyes were a bit complicated.

"Now Nanhua has become the backing of Chinatowns all over the world. From now on, Chinatown affairs will be the focus of our diplomatic work. Chinatowns in the United States are especially important."

Situ Meiden said to Chen Youren, the Minister of Foreign Affairs who was accompanying him on the trip, that Chen Youren's wit and bravery went from being a Dutchman last year to the United States today. He has won much honor for South China on diplomatic occasions.

Chen Youren nodded. The relationship with the US is indeed the top priority of South China's diplomacy.

Here, the ambassador to the United States Mu Xianming plays a role, so the big guy's eyes are on him.

"Prime Minister, please rest assured, I will not let the folks be bullied." Mu Xianming assured, his eyes firm, there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart.

Mu Xianming's not-so-formal official guarantee reassure Situ Meideng, Situ Meideng smiled and nodded to show encouragement.

The ambassador to the United States is second only to the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs. Mu Xianming has worked in the US branch of the US-China Company, Robles & Co., and other large companies. He has extensive contacts on Wall Street. U.S. economic and trade exchanges.

At the same time, as a member of the William Consortium, the resources behind him also help him solve difficult national problems.At the beginning of the year, Situ Nan planned to attack the KKK, which greatly helped improve the living conditions of Chinese immigrants in the United States.

Ma Decai's M Kee fast food chain has opened in New York. On the streets of Chinatown, Situ Nan laughed when she saw the familiar M Kee recruitment.

"Aren't you thinking about M's fast food? This will satisfy you." Situ Nan smiled at He Xiangu next to him, wondering that this girl actually likes the cooked food like a child.

"Master, you made fun of people again! I have been away from the United States for so long, can I miss M Burger?" He Xiangu gave Situ Nan a white look.Before she knew it, she had been wandering with Situ Nan for almost a year.

Just as they were talking, Ma Decai's round face greeted Situ Meideng and the others in, and when they saw Situ Nan, Ma Decai said, "Master Situ, why are you here? So happy to see you. Now!" Situ Nan was invited in.

"This business is good!" Situ Nan smiled, and looked at the store. He was a bit familiar with the fast food restaurant in his memory, but also somewhat different. In short, although M Ji changed his individual, this business model has gradually emerged.

Situ Meideng and the others came here temporarily. When they came in, there were still many customers in the store, both Chinese and white.

Seeing the majestic appearance of a group of yellow people being crowded in, the white customers were secretly surprised.

"Everyone, to celebrate the visit of Premier Nanhua to our store today, all food in our store is free."

Ma Decai waved his hand, boldly.

Most Americans don’t know where South China is and who is the Premier of South China. Hearing that they don’t need money to eat, they immediately cheered. They applauded and whistled without any seriousness. They are completely characteristic of American cowboys. I don't understand, but it's normal to see leaders whistling when thinking that people can even go in and play in the White House.

After the waiter’s enthusiastic explanation, they realized that South China was a newly independent Chinese country in remote Asia, defeating the Dutch.

It is estimated that this South China is very powerful if it can defeat the Dutch. Many people thought to themselves while gnawing on the fragrant hamburger. When they came out, they looked at those Chinese whose waists were straightened a lot with respect.

"This old horse can do business!" Situ Meideng said with a smile, and the group entered the restaurant on the second floor.

The shrewd Ma Decai had temporarily vacated the second floor and went up to the quiet second floor. The agents who followed were secretly relieved. They were most afraid that an extreme racist would suddenly jump out, let alone hurt the prime minister. The flowers and plants are not good anymore.

"Uncle Ma, come and sit down. Tell me about the situation in Chinatown here." Situ Nan smiled and greeted Ma Decai to come over.

Speaking of it, he also has a copy of this M Kee Fast Food Company, but he never cared about it.

"Mr. Ma can be regarded as a business leader of Chinese Americans, come and tell me about the situation here. Think about it has been seven or eight years since I left the United States. Time flies so fast!" Stuart Meideng said with emotion.

"Prime Minister Situ, Nanhua has greatly boosted national morale! I heard about your old man's deeds in the United States a long time ago. Now that Chinatown mentions your name, no one will praise you without words." Ma Decai praised.

The emergence of South China made the Chinese in Chinatown in the United States feel a blood-connected excitement. Defeating the Dutch made them feel proud and shared. More and more people are beginning to realize that their destiny is tied to South China thousands of miles away. .

In addition to Ma Decai, the Chinese leaders in Chinatown also came. Some of them were Situ Meideng's subordinates. Seeing the "old hall master" was like meeting a family member, and they naturally wanted to express their sincerity.

There are a few elderly people who came to the United States during the gold rush. I heard that after the visit of the Premier of South China, they came to toast with a large bowl of wine on crutches. The scene was touching. Even the black-hearted people like Situ Nan felt sore noses. sour.
