Fang Lang understood after hearing Eli Morgan's words.
Although his cooperation with Eli Morgan brought him a huge return on investment.
But the friendship he promised to his Morgan family was obviously not something he could decide by himself.
Maybe today's negotiations on the European aid package are just an interview.
The patriarch of the Morgan family and the chairman of the Morgan company will personally interview him to see if he is really qualified to become a friend of the Morgan family.
Halken 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 is still very good, at least I should pass 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 a lot of help from the Morgan family.
Fang Lang, who was favored as a Chinese, originally wanted to be modest.
However, I thought that Europeans and Americans didn’t like this, so I said directly:
“I am honored to be friends with the Morgan family.
Believe me, your friendship will definitely be rewarded in excess! "
The three of them looked at each other and laughed.
The topics of the next few people began to become more specific.
After several explanations from the Morgan family, Fang Lang understood that the so-called European aid plan had not actually been proposed yet.
However, several major financial groups in the United States have unified their opinions and begun to advance quietly.
As long as the distribution of interests among the various consortia reaches an agreement, we can move forward quickly.
The reason why Fang Lang was notified in advance to come for discussions was to clarify Fang Lang's goals and add Fang Lang's interests to the interests of the Morgan consortium.
What Fang Lang didn't expect was that the time when the plan actually started to be implemented was not 1948, which Fang Lang had learned from history.
According to Halken Morgan, former British Prime Minister Churchill immediately proposed to President Truman a plan to curb the continued development of the Soviet Communist Party after he delivered the important "Iron Curtain Speech" in the United States.
The focus is to help the frontline Greece and Türkiye resist the Soviet Communist Party.
However, President Truman at the time had not communicated and coordinated this matter with his staff team, so he did not directly agree to Churchill.
After Churchill returned to the UK, he still used his influence in the UK to provide certain assistance to Greece and Turkey.
It is a pity that Britain is no longer the original empire on which the sun never sets. The British government, which has just experienced the devastation of the world war, simply has no time to take care of itself.
The support that can be provided to these two countries is also very limited.
Therefore, Britain once again found the United States, hoping that the United States could help.
This has also accelerated the progress of major American consortiums in determining European aid plans.
Since it was agreed to be aid, of course it was not possible to divide the benefits as Fang Lang had discussed with the Morgan family.
It is about solving the problem of food and clothing for the people of the recipient countries and restoring the economy of the recipient countries.
Revitalize roads, buildings, industries, agriculture, commerce, etc. that were damaged by the 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 U.S. government estimates that this plan will not be accepted by the American people.
When Marshall gave a speech, in order to avoid American newspapers paying attention to the speech, no American reporters were invited to the speech.
Truman even deliberately held a press conference on the same day to divert the attention of the domestic media.
But for major financial groups, this is indeed a rare feast.
Just the official aid to European countries requires the purchase of goods that can keep the American consortium well fed.
What's more, this plan lasts for one fiscal year, which means that within four years, we will produce products without worrying about sales.
But this is only visible to ordinary people.
And what is the real content of the plan?
We can see this from the mission announced by the later established Economic Cooperation Administration.
The main contents include: promoting European economic progress, promoting European production development, providing support for the currency issuance of European countries and promoting international trade.
Of course, there is also a more secret purpose, which is to curb the expansion of the Soviet Communist Party in Europe.
The so-called promotion of European economic progress and the development of European production definitely means massive investment in Europe. This is the clarion call for American capital to enter Europe.
The purpose of providing support for the currency issuance of European countries is even more obvious.
The simplest and most direct way to control a country's economy is, of course, to control the country's currency issuance!
As for promoting international trade, of course it means making Europe a market for the United States and selling more American goods to Europe.
Therefore, this so-called European development plan is actually a sugar-coated bullet.
But this sugar coating is something Europe cannot refuse.
After two consecutive days of closed-door talks between Fang Lang and the Morgan family.
Fang Lang had completely caught up with the Morgan family.
Soon, Universal Group acquired three small regional banks in the United States with the support of the Brazilian Development Bank team and the help of the Morgan family.
There are many local banks like this in the United States. As an emerging small consortium in the United States, Global Group has no trouble acquiring them.
After completing the integration, the new bank directly became a medium-sized bank with more than 60 branches in the United States.
Immediately afterwards, Morgan Company announced that it would invest in this little-known bank, becoming the bank's second largest shareholder, owning 30% of the bank's shares. The bank officially changed its name to Global Morgan Bank.
Then, with the help of J.P. Morgan & Company, the company began to expand rapidly.
By the end of 1946, branches had been opened in Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other European countries.
Of course a branch was also opened in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
At the same time, Universal Shipping Company, a subsidiary of Universal Group, transferred 35% of its shares to Morgan Company.
Morgan did not pay cash to Universal Shipping Company. Instead, it purchased 20% of the shares of Allstate Insurance Company, an insurance company established in 1931, for Universal Group through its own channels.
Let Universal Group become the third shareholder of Allstate Insurance Company.
Immediately afterwards, with the promotion of Universal Group, Allstate Insurance Company and the Brazilian Development Bank jointly established the Brazilian Allstate Insurance Branch in Brazil.
Immediately afterwards, with the help of Universal Group and Universal Morgan Bank, Nice Company opened 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 purpose of establishing this company is, of course, to export livelihood supplies under the European support plan.
Bunge is very wary of Nice companies driving themselves out of South America.
But this time Nice Company's entry has the shadow of the Morgan consortium behind it.
Bunge cannot use excessive means and can only suppress it through some normal business competition.
The Nice company, which has the support of the entire Brazilian agricultural industry, is obviously not afraid of normal business competition.
Therefore, Nice Company quickly established a foothold in the United States.
It turned out that this was just a pawn left behind by Fang Lang's export of grain, oil, sugar, wine and other livelihood supplies to Europe.
Unexpectedly, it excited Brazilian government officials.
The Social Democratic Party, supported by the Nice Company, has experienced a surge in popularity.
Fang Lang, who had 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.
Therefore, after Fang Lang picked up Lilith in Boston, he started an inspection trip to the U.S. Military Academy.
As for whether this investigation is serious or not, it is not enough for outsiders to tell.
.....................
Brazil, Naval Base Natal Logistics Division 2 Office.
"Sir, a telegram from Fernando de Noronha."
A telegraph operator handed a folder to Section Chief Silio Reich.
Silio Reich nodded, took the folder from the operator's hand and opened it.
The above information made Sirio Leitch's eyes light up, and he finally found an important person.
I saw the telegram saying:
[It has been found that there are three thousand Japanese on the island, and the Japanese leader is named Mizuno Nobuyoshi. The specific origins are yet to be investigated. 】
The intelligence agents who have sneaked into the island in the past few days will send some intelligence on the day's detection every day.
The Second Intelligence Division now has a certain understanding of the various forces on the Fernando de Noronha Islands.
"Three thousand people? This is not a small number, it exceeds the total number of other people!
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, arms are about to arrive on the island, please pay attention to their safety!"
"Yes, sir!"
After the operator finished taking notes, he stood at attention, saluted, turned and left.
Sirio Leitch recalled it carefully. He always felt like he had heard the Japanese name Mizuno Nobui somewhere.
Lean on the table, close your eyes and meditate.
I quickly patted my thigh and remembered where I had heard this name.
Isn't this the Japanese who was caught illegally mining when General Fang took over Natal and implemented the plan to eliminate the Japanese?
This person is not dead. What happened?
"Come here, ask the police station to send over the files of all the Japanese deported from Natal."
Silio Leitch directly ordered his men.
The current deputy chief of the Natal Police Department was originally from the Second Department of the Logistics Department.
Therefore, if you want to transfer a file from the police station, don’t take it too easy.
More than twenty minutes later, an agent from the Second Division entered Sirio Leitch's office carrying a thick file.
Silio Leitch took it and counted it carefully, and found that there were more than four hundred copies.
And the top file among them is clearly that of Mizuno Nobuhiro.
He pulled out this file and looked at it carefully. It didn't matter if he didn't read it. As soon as he saw Sirio Leitch, he was instantly angry.
It is clearly written on the file that the charge is illegal mining of national mineral resources. The circumstances are serious and the sentence is life imprisonment.
But later there was the signature of Bill Yakub, the deputy chief of the police department.
It was written clearly that he would be fined 10,000 Cruzeiro and then deported.
Without asking, Sirio Leitch could guess that this Bill Yakub must have received a lot of benefits.
Otherwise, even if he were to be deported, it would be impossible to punish him with only 10,000 Cruzeiro.
This amount of money can at most bail out a thief, but what is being released now is a serious criminal sentenced to life imprisonment.
Even a blind person can see there's something wrong here.
“Bill Yakub, this bastard, really deserves to die!
How audacious. "
Then, Sirio Leitch opened several files in succession.
When you open the back, they are all signed by Bill Yakub, and everyone has the same solution.
Looking at Sirio Leitch, he felt something was wrong.
