In addition to participating in various matters related to the Import and Export Association, Saint-Jesse used public opinion to establish a lobbying group for legalization, and also established a business consulting company in Putrajaya to serve himself. One person's wisdom and strength are too small, and he also needs An apparently legitimate Falcon Bureau.
The next step is to find people who can help him speak out. He must start from his own side. People like Commander Tomps, Professor Pukins, and the Radical Party are very good. The power represented by these three parties cannot be underestimated. ,
Saint Hesse must find a reasonable entry point. This is not like an association or chamber of commerce. It must have more reasonable interests. Otherwise, others will not always help you. They are not your father, even if they are biological fathers. There must be some need for mutual utilization.
After soothing Elena's emotions, Elena had nothing to do, so she could just help him with some help and help him organize some information. The relationship between the two also deepened a lot.
"Cohen, are you planning to enter politics? I see these materials, they are all about some strange things, these materials."
"Maybe in the future. This is because young people are concerned about national affairs. We have problems in our country. If no one stands up, it will never be solved."
"Cohen, you are getting better and better now."
St. Jose began to work hard to make things happen again. He wrote for three days with reference to the internal information of the Radical Party, tens of thousands of words, and exhausted his brain from the past life and this life. It was really well-intentioned.
While writing the internal reference, Saint-Jesse also arranged for people from the Xin'a newspaper to start a subtle propaganda campaign.
In the seven months since it was acquired by Saint-Jesse, Xin'a Newspaper has begun to develop into a comprehensive media. It not only has paper content such as evening newspapers, daily newspapers, weekly newspapers, magazines, etc., but also established a new Xin'a Radio Station. The development of audio media has made it one of the largest newspaper companies in the country.
The Xin'a News Agency and the Falcon Bureau were combined. Andre's dual identity allowed him to share information unilaterally. Falcon Bureau intelligence officers joined many Xin'a Newspaper's reporters and received two salaries.
I can often get a lot of first-hand information. Another advantage is that there are some special commentator articles that specifically speak out for the lower class and poor people in Argentina. They have many loyal fans. The newspaper will even go to a branch in Montevideo next month. , going international in Uruguay.
To this end, the Falcon Bureau also secretly established a media fund with the support of Saint Jose, which is responsible for secretly controlling the acquisition of some special small newspapers, speaking out for Saint Jose's reform culture, promoting public opinion, and publishing some special newspapers. Small newspapers such as the New Hispanic Church also had some influence on the pope.
These small newspapers often have a small audience, but they can influence some special groups, such as some fishery newspapers, workers' newspapers, etc. Their sales are average and they do not make money, but they can have fixed fans and help guide public opinion in Saint Jose. Larger audience.
Moreover, Saint Jose also learned some special information about the Pope through this intelligence, such as the Argentine Freemasonry and the "Vatican Bank", special secret organizations. The Vatican Bank raises funds from all over the world and concentrates them in the hands of the Holy See, while the Freemasonry It is a secret organization that opposes the Tianzhu Sect.
Many Latin American uprising leaders in history, such as Simon Bolivar, San Martín, Iturbide in Mexico, Belgrano in Argentina, Toussaint Louverture in Haiti, etc., were all members of the Freemasonry. Therefore, the European Tenju religious countries and the Tenju Church are particularly aggressive in their attacks on Freemasonry.
The Tianzhu Church has been suffering in Argentina for a long time, and the Argentine Freemasonry organization is relatively weak and hidden. Saint Jose does not pay special attention to it, but it may be able to take advantage of it in the future. After all, the church power in Argentina is indeed very influential. This is not in the interests of Argentines and it is not in the interests of Saint Jose.
Saint Jose calls himself a lobbying group, and one person is definitely not enough. He also asked some elite talents from the New Youth League to join his lobbying group.
Argentina's divided system of government provides San Jose with many ways to influence the policy process, so interest groups can influence policy in many different ways, such as lobbying elected representatives and members of the executive branch, making campaign contributions, voting in elections, Shaping public opinion and so on is legal, the opposite is vote buying.
In addition, when special interest groups invest in a specific issue, because most people are indifferent to the issue, the group will enjoy disproportionate power. Even if their number is small, policymakers will tend to let people who care about this issue Acceptance, they feel confident that others are okay with it.
The power of the St. Jose lobby came from its unparalleled ability to participate in the political game of interest groups. He established Cohen Business Consulting, with the core members coming from the Falcon Bureau, which was a core stronghold of St. Jose's lobbying output and It does not do specific business, it is a think tank of Saint Jose.
Their basic operations are no different from other interest groups - such as the farm lobby, machinery and textile workers or other ethnic groups - or even the Argentinian trade association, but here are people who can be trusted, It is also trustworthy.
…
March 1, Cohen Business Consulting Company Headquarters.
"Boss, this is a telegram from Europe. It's news about the steel plant. One is from Brussels and the other is from Vienna."
"Okay, Isai, go ahead and do your work first. I'll ask you to draft a telegram later."
Isay is St. Jose's secretary at Cohen Consulting and is responsible for some business work.
The European steel mill investigation investment teams are the newly formed rolling mill team headed by Ian Travis and the Prairie International team headed by Nick Jr.
Saint Hesse stood up, his expression not changing much. From Europe, there has been no good news, and there will basically be a summary report every week.
The first and second industrial revolutions in Europe brought opportunities for the development of their steel industry. Along with the two world wars, the demand from the military industry greatly stimulated the development of the steel industry in the first half of the 20th century. After the end of World War II, There is a lot of waste waiting to be done, and economic recovery has driven the steel industry to usher in rapid development.
Europe currently lacks large-scale coking coal and iron mines, and the steel industry has begun to rely on overseas imports of raw materials, reducing the competitiveness of the overall industry.
In order to cope with the fierce competition in the market, steel mills in Europe have begun the process of vertical and horizontal alliances. As the predecessor of the European Union, the Coal and Steel Community was newly established last year, which also made the negotiations in Saint-Jesse more difficult.
The Steel Mill team is the newly formed Rolling Mill team headed by Ian Travis and the Prairie International team headed by Nick Jr.
In March 1952, it had been almost five months since they went abroad. The two European teams had already inspected 31 large and medium-sized steel plants.
It has traveled to 13 countries including the United Kingdom, France, the Western German Occupied Zone, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Ireland, the Netherlands, Austria, Luxembourg, Albania, and Romania.
Saint Jose is also a little disappointed. After all, most countries have rejected requests to build steel plants. I don’t know if this is good news or bad news.
Saint Jose opened the telegram, examined the contents, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help laughing wildly, and almost burst into tears.
After going through difficulties and obstacles this time, the negotiations were finally successful and the goals were achieved in Belgium and Austria at the same time. The reason was that Belgium was squeezed by the resurgent West German steel plants.
Belgium produced more than 5 million tons of steel last year, and Luxembourg produced more than 3 million tons. As a steel kingdom, Belgium was more affected by western Germany. Austria produced more than 10 million tons, and Czechoslovakia also produced 3.4 million tons.
In fact, there is another country that is even worse, and that is the Netherlands, which is at the bottom of the Coal and Steel Community, with 52,000 tons. Yes, it is that low.
Now that West Germany is no longer a country, its industrial recovery is still strong. With the support of Americans, the steel industry is a core industry. No wonder these big countries don't give it face. After all, St. Hesse doesn't have much face either.
"Isai, please draft a telegram and reply as follows: Agree to the request. I will prepare the funds. The negotiation is successful. Congratulations. Write down the header and sender."
St. Jose shouted loudly to the door. After Isai came in, he gave the order,
"Yes, boss, I will print the content right away. You can take a look at it later."
"okay."
News finally came from the steel plant that they were about to start preparing funds. The combined budgets of both parties exceeded 30 million US dollars. He would definitely not be able to afford it. He would need to rely on external help, especially bank loans. Now he has a lot of collateral. .
"It seems that this is the reason I am looking for. The importance of the steel industry to a country is self-evident. As long as the investment in the first phase of this steel plant project is successful, Argentina will at least be a world steel power, and there will be a second and third phase. Issue four.”
The construction scale they negotiated is a production capacity of more than 3 million tons in the first phase. It will take one or two years to build, which is good enough. It can still be ranked among the top fifteen in the world, and it can already meet most of the country's needs.
"This is a real political achievement, and on such a large scale, there is no need to think about smuggling. It is not something like a cement factory. It must be the kind that the media is marrying."
The steel plant is a big thing, and it is impossible to operate it secretly. Like a cement plant or a fertilizer plant, it must be open and honest, and the location must be truly chosen.
There are also pollution and other issues, so you may not be able to settle in La Plata. It must be a port city to import coal and iron ore raw materials from Australia.
There is also an amount of more than 30 million U.S. dollars, which is no joke. He cannot handle it alone, so a loan is inevitable, and this is a real political achievement, and it is also the reason for St. Jose to reduce tariffs.
After Isay finished sending the telegram, Saint-Jesse immediately sent an invitation to the home of Commander Tomps, a blue sect of the military who needed a place.
"Commander, the situation is like this. I plan to open a steel plant, but the funds are still not enough. I need loan support. I have already negotiated with Europe. I am just waiting for the equipment and people to come over for investment and construction."
"Okay, Cohen, I really underestimate you. I can help with this, but we need only 10% of the shares, not more. For the loan amount, I can ask several banks to provide 5 Annual loan, credit line of 15 million US dollars, and then provide 3 million US dollars of equity capital, a total of 18 million US dollars."
Good guy, the first-phase production capacity is more than 3 million tons, and a 10% share is not unacceptable. The military's shareholding is at least a talisman, and this is his reward.
"Okay, I agreed, but this 10% is only the income and shares of this more than 3 million tons of steel plant, and it only has income rights, no management rights. 10% of the shares have nothing to do with other subsequent investments. Bank interest It can be calculated according to a reasonable proportion,
At the same time, we also need you, Commander, to speak for our business associations. I am ready to ask the customs to reduce taxes, especially taxes on this basic industry. "
St. Jose also made his own request. It is impossible to give the controlling power of the steel plant to others. He must have absolute controlling rights and no one can take it away. This is the bottom line.
Saint-Jesse went to several other major banks in the country and obtained a credit line of 10 million US dollars, which required collateral. Saint-Jesse mortgaged the golden egg of Thunder Mining, and the remaining few million dollars could be scraped up by himself. Minato came out.
For example, the loan from the Rennes Fertilizer Plant has just been repaid, which also needs to be noted. Moreover, this time, Saint-Jesse will have to cooperate with the mayor of the city to get another loan, and it must be a foreign exchange loan, peso Useless.
In comparison, this is real interest, which needs to be repaid, but he can't care about that much anymore. As long as he can, he wants to get the loan. After all, the more the better, and now he also wants peso loans, motorcycles, and tractors. The expansion of , clothing factories and beverage factories all require capital turnover.
San Jose sent several experienced people to find cities for cooperation. The first target was of course La Plata. Steel production was seriously polluting, and I didn’t know if they would agree.
After the radical party's internal participation information and the steel industry development outline plan were handed over, Saint-Jesse was also received by Director Louis.
"Cohen, the internal information you provided this time is very good. Also, is the plan for the steel plant true? If it is true, we have someone with a higher level to get involved."
"Well, it's true. The first phase of construction of the steel plant is 3 million tons, making it the largest steel plant in Argentina and even South America."
Saint Jose said confidently.
"Okay, I will help you with it this time. Our Radical Party still has many mayor-level officials in the country. I can help with the site selection issue you mentioned. I have helped you contact Vice Chairman Arturo. Tomorrow Come and talk to him in the afternoon."
"Yes, Director, I will make good preparations and contribute to the development of the Radical Party."
"Okay, as long as what you say succeeds this time, you will have a place in the younger wing of the Radical Party in the future."
Louis looked at Saint Jose and said calmly, what he told was the truth. Heroes do not ask where they come from. Moreover, in capitalist countries, everyone is more realistic. There are also bankers in the Radical Party who can borrow millions of dollars. Not a problem, they have connections with many European countries.
Moreover, some of the customs taxes provided by Saint Hesse are indeed of a high level. If this was written by Saint Hesse himself, it can only be said that this person is a genius, and geniuses are given preferential treatment.
The next day, San Jose was received by Arturo, who invested more than 30 million U.S. dollars, enough to become a big boss in Argentina.
Sanjesé came to Arturo's office and saw him. He was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, his hair was sparse, and his forehead was even more panicked. He was wearing a white shirt, no tie, a small bow, and eyes. mild.
"Hello, Mr. President Arturo." Saint Jose greeted politely.
"You are Cohen, sit here and let's talk about the steel plant,"
"Your internal reference is very good, and the situation in the Radical Party is the same. I am a central figure in the House of Representatives, but there are also several senior officials of the Radical Party in the country, such as Santa Fe Province, Jujuy, Corrientes and Mendo Four senior officials of the Radical Party in Sa are also members of our Radical Party, but generally speaking, there are very few in the government."
Arturo offers some good inside news. "
"Cohen, do you like playing football or something?"
"Because I'm usually very busy, but I rarely play football." Saint Jose answered truthfully.
"Haha, I played football back then. In the mid-1920s, I played football in the lower levels of my Almagro club. As a defender, if I had not injured my arm, I would not have said goodbye to football."
"I didn't expect you to be a soldier. It's amazing. I still remember that my first choice was the King's Military Academy, but unfortunately I failed. Then I came to the Law Department of the University of Buddhism and graduated in three years. But I refused the diploma and later attended March was imprisoned for twenty days. I hated that prison and if I became president, I would definitely tear it down."
Arturo said something about his school days, and he was indeed a powerful person.
"I still remember that at the end of 1932, I was detained for the second time, and after being released, I joined the Radical Citizens' League. In December, I was arrested for the third time, on suspicion of an anti-government armed uprising. It's hard to imagine that that was all 20 years ago. At that time, I originally planned to be a teacher...Pkins was my classmate. He later went to the United States and returned to the University of Buenos Aires to work as a teacher..."
Haha, it turns out that Arturo also participated in armed uprisings when he was young. No wonder he was arrested and imprisoned so many times. I heard that Arturo also supported Rico and the others in the Socialist Party incident last year and was almost arrested. They are already considered A military coup is underway, but it is obvious that Bilong's power is very strong and his prestige is also very strong, so failure is inevitable.
“Last year I was the candidate of the Radical Party for national vice-president and Ricardo Barbin was the candidate for president, and our Radical Party received 31.81% of the vote, defeated by Juan Bilon and Hortensio They were defeated by the plan of the Bilon party of Chiano, which received 62.49% of the vote."
Arturo said regretfully, and the two chatted a lot. It was obvious that Saint Jose's internal reference and steel factory were of great use to him, and he regarded Saint Jose as a target for training.
“Rico Ghiodi represents the Socialist Party too moderately, and his speeches are not enough,
Later, he hurriedly revolted and was killed and arrested by Bilong. Well, he was using the gangs, but the level of the gangs, you know,
Also, Reynaldo Pastor represents the National Democratic Party and is a good conservative. He is still in prison and cannot be released. Poor Reynaldo. "
These two parties were once important allies of the Radical Party. However, the Socialist Party suffered a complete decline last year and many of its core members were arrested.
It also led to the dissolution of the National Democratic Party, which actually led to the weakening of the Radical Party. They attempted to launch a coup against the constitutional government headed by General Bilon. Even last year, anti-Peronist civilians and military departments were arrested. ,
This also led to the decline of the Socialist Party and the National Democratic Party, which split into smaller parties such as the Free Citizens' Front and the Blue League.
Saint Jose knew a lot about most of them and he listened carefully.
"And Benjamin Menendez, this guy is also quite miserable. He is planning an armed uprising."
No wonder Bilong is cleaning up these underworlds. These underworlds are not simple. They are probably their private armies used for rebellion. Unfortunately, the combat power is too stretched. The police are also blessed with his weapons, which does not count as his backstab. Well, I haven’t joined the Radical Party yet.
"Your proposal this time is still good. The city of La Plata can do it. The mayor is ours. I can also ask our bank to provide a US$3 million loan line.
Regarding the issue of tariff reform, I will agree with the meeting. Bilong's next term has not yet begun, so we can take advantage of the situation to do it. Moreover, this is not against him personally. There is no problem at all. This is indeed a very important matter. "
Arturo affirmed Saint Jesus' behavior and news. The two chatted for more than an hour. Saint Jesus was still a little unfinished when he left. The inside information was really gossipy.
