Chapter 162 Laying out Wall Street (Third update, please subscribe)
  There are so many opportunities in the world after the war. Greece can take advantage of the post-war opportunities to have so many shipping kings. As long as he seizes the opportunity, Li Yi'an doesn't care about the shipping king.

What he longs for is to take advantage of the east wind of Europe's revival and obtain ammunition for the development of Borneo from Europe!
  This is what Li Yi'an cares about.

However, shipping was definitely one of the most lucrative post-war industries.

Ships can use American loans to buy hundreds of Liberty ships like Greece did. This is quite simple.

But the crew is a problem.

We must pay close attention to the crew, especially the captain and senior crew members. We cannot blindly use foreign crews. Although in post-war Germany and Italy, including in their early days, there were a large number of naval officers waiting for rice to be cooked, and they only needed to spend a small amount of money. , you can hire captains and senior crew members.

But people, it’s better to use your own people to rest assured!

How about building a merchant marine school in the United States first?
  How about selecting some of the people recruited domestically to learn how to drive merchant ships?
  Looking at New York outside the window, Li Yian had this idea in his mind.

"It's not impossible!"

In fact, there is no need to set up your own merchant marine school at all - there are many merchant marine schools in the United States that are recruiting people all the time. In the past few years, as the United States built a large number of Liberty ships, senior crew members and captains immediately became in short supply. In order to train shipyards and senior crew members, American merchant marine schools rapidly expanded their enrollment and trained tens of thousands of them in batches. Officer.

The Yankees still have a lot of experience in the "mass production" of senior crew members and even captains. After all, they have been in production for several years.

So Li Yian directly sent a telegram to North Africa, asking the secretary's office to select a group of people to come to the United States to learn navigation. Although the shipping company already had team members practicing on the ship, senior crew members and captains still needed to be professionals with professional backgrounds.

After handling this matter, Li Yian did not sit idle. Instead, he started walking around Wall Street. In the next few days, he visited several insurance companies, investment banks and insurance companies on Wall Street, which was also a good introduction to Wall Street. I have a preliminary understanding of the financial market, and the system has even opened up new skills.

However, Li Yian did not expect Wall Street to compete with those financial elites for food. Rather than grabbing food for food, Li Yian was more willing to give food to others.

Just like now, in this cafe on Wall Street, Li Yi'an looked at the young man in front of him. He was Xu Zili, the "guide" introduced by Zhang Weilun. He worked at Morgan Bank. In the past few days, through Xu Zili's introduction, , he basically had a preliminary understanding of Wall Street.

"Mr. Li seems to be very interested in the financial industry."

Looking at the rich man in front of him who has long been famous in New York, Xu Zili's heart is full of expectations. What are he looking forward to?

As his agent, of course.

It is extremely difficult for a Chinese to work hard on Wall Street. What is the most difficult thing? Of course it’s resources. Chinese people are different from Jews. There are many Jewish millionaires in New York, and those millionaires are often more willing to hire Jews. This allows Jews who are new to the industry to easily obtain resources, but Chinese... there are not many rich Chinese in the United States. Even if there are a few occasionally, they tend to save money rather than invest.

"Really interested."

Li Yi'an said:
  "Mr. Li, now is a good time to invest in the securities market. If you are interested, I can prepare a report for you..."

Looking at Xu Zili who had transformed into a salesman, Li Yian said directly.

"Mr. Xu, what I am interested in is not securities, but banks!"

"bank?"

Xu Zili asked.

"Is Mr. Li making a deposit?"

How come you are as successful as Mr. Li, but he only likes to save money!

Xu Zili couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Do not."

Shaking his head, Li Yian said.

"Mr. Xu, if I'm going to open my own bank, what do I need to do?" Start a bank!
  This is what Li Yian decided to do after he figured out how the American financial circle played in Europe. In fact, he originally planned to set up a bank, but at that time it was only limited to the bank itself. But now, in his opinion, the bank can As a tool for harvesting wealth in Europe, as long as it is operated properly, the reconstruction of Europe will become a booster for Borneo, and a steady stream of wealth will be imported from Europe to Borneo, contributing to the construction of Borneo.

To achieve this goal, banks are indispensable.

"Here? This is New York! If you set up a bank here, competition in business will be fierce. Mr. Li, after the stock market crash in 29, Americans have almost zero trust in small banks!"

Why not trust?

Because too many local small banks went bankrupt at that time, which directly caused the savings of many Americans to disappear. This is why during the Great Depression, Americans regarded bank robbers as heroes, because banks were always looting ordinary people.

“We are just opening our head office here for now. In the future, our banking business will be mainly in Europe and Southeast Asia. As for our business, we don’t have to be limited to New York. We can build branches in London, Paris and Rome at the same time, and we can also build branches in Berlin and other places in the future! Well, I prefer international business to domestic business in the United States.”

"Ah, is Mr. Li going to open an international bank? In London, Paris..."

Only half of the words were said, Xu Zili suddenly said as if he had thought of something.

"Is Mr. Li planning to take advantage of the great opportunity in front of him to acquire assets in Europe?"

As a financial elite on Wall Street, Xu Zili certainly knew that the financial giants in New York had long sent their managers to various European countries to acquire high-quality assets that were seriously undervalued.

"Oh, you know?"

"I've heard of some,"

Xu Zili nodded and said.

"The places Mr. Li mentioned in Europe are very reminiscent of what the financial giants on Wall Street are doing in Europe now."

"Indeed, I do have this plan."

Li Yian did not hide his thoughts, his eyes fell on Xu Zili and said.

"I want you to take charge of this matter. Are you interested?"

what!
  Xu Zili, who originally just wanted to get a client, never thought that pie-in-the-sky would actually happen, and it would fall on him.

"Li, Mr. Li, I am just an ordinary manager. I can't do this. I can't do this."

"How do you know if you haven't tried it?"

Li Yian smiled.

"I will give you enough funds and authority, so you can recruit professional financial talents on Wall Street. If you are not good enough, you can hire people who are good and learn from them."

Why choose Xu Zili?
  First, because there are really no suitable financial talents around Li Yi'an. Although there are many people in the army who study finance, they have no practical experience. However, if a Chinese can be a manager on Wall Street and can do it for ten years, there must be some The second reason why he is outstanding is the simple reason: he is Chinese! Li Yi'an doesn't want his bank to be controlled by foreigners. Foreigners can be employees, just run the bank.

After all, the gold obtained from Germany in the future will still need to be laundered through banks. Even in Li Yian's plan, this bank will assist San Dezi in promoting the "Safe Harbor Plan" in the future. In other words, in straightforward terms , that is, helping San Dezi’s fugitives launder money.

Not only can the bank extract huge commissions when handling this business, but the huge wealth taken away by the former Nazi elites will also be deposited in the bank and become a development fund for Borneo.

"We will not be too involved in the market business in the early stage of this bank. I mainly want him to be responsible for some acquisitions in Europe, and of course, the flow of funds within our group. For example, the payment of employee wages, and Disbursement of subsidies to the security forces. Later, we may need to carry out some small loan business to provide loans to European companies. I have already thought of a name, it will be called the Eurasian Development Bank."
