Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Chapter 241 The Morgan Consortium

While preparing lunch, Mrs. Jiang was entangled by the Americans again. Jiang Haoran signaled Jiang Haotian to come out. There were too many doubts in his heart that needed to be explained. Since Jiang Haotian came with them, he must know the whole story, even if there was something wrong with him Unfavorable factors can also be prepared early.

When Jiang Haotian was dragged into the headquarters, the two brothers asked about his health and family situation, which was inevitable, and it took a long time before they turned to the main topic.

It turned out that as early as the eve of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Jiang Haotian met American reporter Kelly by chance, and the two quickly fell in love. When Jiang Haotian was stationed in Nanjing with the army, Kelly also went there as a reporter. He was seriously injured. When Kaili found him in the rear hospital, he was already in a deep coma. The doctor told Kaili that a piece of shrapnel was embedded in Jiang Haotian's head, just in the nerve center. If he took it out rashly, he might become a vegetative state and never wake up again. Opportunity, and there is currently no medical technology in this area in China, this person is almost dead.

But Kelly did not give up, and used all her connections to obtain an American identity for Jiang Haotian, and brought Jiang Haotian to the United States with the ship. After a period of treatment, the shrapnel in her head was finally removed, saving her life.Afterwards, Jiang Haotian and Kaili held their wedding in the United States and became legal American citizens. Although they were always concerned about the war in the motherland and the safety of their family, they felt that they owed Kaili too much, so they dared not bring up the matter of returning to China.It just so happens that Anna, Kelly's classmate, has always known about this romantic and bizarre love story between them, and also knows that she is the younger brother of the "Hao Ran Zheng Qi" general who is popular in the United States. This time, for some reason, she must come to China to find Jiang Haoran, and kindly invited the couple to go with them, of course Jiang Haotian couldn't wish for it. Although Kaili didn't want to get involved in the war, she couldn't stand Anna's hard work, so she had to agree.

Unexpectedly, after arriving in China, there was actually a chairman among the people who came to pick up the plane. The standard was unprecedented. It was also at this time that Jiang Hao knew his relationship with the chairman, but he never knew what happened to Anna. What is the purpose of the row?But it is certain that she did not come here to admire Jiang Haoran, because Anna is the heir of the Morgan consortium in the United States, and there are also American politicians among the accompanying people.

"Morgan consortium?" Jiang Haoran was startled, this is known as one of the eight largest consortiums in the United States. Formed at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the century, it was a monopoly capital consortium that ruled the American economy.Founder J. p.Morgan in his father j. s.On the basis of Morgan's talents, he co-founded Drexel-Morgan Company in 1871 to engage in banking business such as investment and credit. In 1894, the partner passed away, and it was operated by him as a sole proprietorship. In 1895, it was renamed jp.Morgan Corporation, and based on the company, expanded its power to financial institutions and various economic sectors (such as steel, railways and public utilities, etc.), and began to form a monopoly consortium. In 1912, the Morgan consortium controlled 13 financial institutions with total assets of 30 billion U.S. dollars. Among them, Morgan Corporation was the most powerful and dominated the American financial circle. Wall Street financial bosses called Morgan Corporation "the banker's banker". ".The Morgan consortium made a fortune during the First World War. After the war, with its strong financial capital, it penetrated into various sectors of the national economy. In the 4s, the total assets of the large banks and large companies controlled by the Morgan consortium accounted for 30% of the eight major consortia in the United States at that time. %above.

What is the successor of such a business giant coming to China at this time?There are also politicians. Is it possible that Madam's trip also has some kind of political purpose?Jiang Haoran's head suddenly became dizzy.

At lunch, Mrs. Jiang found Jiang Haoran while everyone was still pushing cups and changing glasses. She didn't explain too much about the chairman's military operation this time, only saying that she was killed by a traitor and almost broke. It is a big event, and the chairman regrets it too much, but the chairman definitely considers it from the interests of the nation, and I hope Jiang Haoran will not be worried about it.

Immediately, he told Jiang Haoran that the Kuomintang government was in the process of getting a loan from the United States, and things were going well. As long as the Kuomintang government could prove in a short period of time that it was strong enough to deal with the Japanese invasion, the U.S. side agreed to lend to the Kuomintang government.On this point, the chairman has already guaranteed that the Communist Party absolutely has this strength, so there was this battle between Xue Yue and the Japanese army in the Fengxin area.

Although the United States agreed to borrow, it is still constrained by many parties.The national government drafted a method of borrowing tung oil.The national government provided tung oil of the same value to the United States, and paid an annual interest of [-]%, which was repaid within five years.The United States is quite interested in tung oil loans, but due to isolationism and internal disagreements, it cannot take political loans, and it cannot directly sign an agreement with the Nationalist government. Therefore, the Nationalist government proposed to register and establish a "World Trade Corporation" in the United States, with Chinese as its directors Long, the Chinese government sold the tung oil to the World Trade Corporation, which in turn sold the tung oil to the United States.

But the United States cannot lend cash to China, but converts the cash into materials and ships them back to China. In this way, the World Trade Corporation has to take on the heavy responsibility of procurement.Although the method of borrowing has been resolved, the United States is not generous and can only lend [-] million US dollars in advance.Unless China has gained a decisive advantage in the War of Resistance Against Japan, then talk about follow-up borrowing.Moreover, the United States believes that the tung oil loan is "almost purely political" and will cause the United States to "eventually fall into war", and does not agree with the Chinese government appearing in any documents.For this reason, the Chinese government decided to establish a completely independent commercial company in the country, purchase tung oil, and sell it to the World Trade Corporation, so that the World Trade Corporation can sign a loan contract with the Export-Import Bank of the United States, with the Bank of China as the guarantee.In this way, the loan agreement was finally reached.

Anna, in China, is a reporter for the "New York World Times". In fact, she is the niece of the U.S. Treasury Secretary and the heir of the Morgan consortium. This time, she is solely responsible for signing the agreement and choosing the right Chinese representative. Who knows She insisted straight away that the Chinese representative could only be Jiang Haoran, and she would not accept anyone else.So, after getting off the plane, they had to fly directly to Zhuzhou again.

As for Chen Chen, Bai Chongxi and the four major financial groups, they were sent to accompany them purely to show that the national government attached great importance to this matter.

It was only then that Jiang Haoran suddenly realized that his own troubles and Xue Yue's hard work were all caused by the 20 million US dollars. The chairman's move seemed to be driven crazy by the money. Not to mention his righteousness and relatives, it cost nearly [-] US dollars. The lives of the soldiers are on the line. Once the battle goes wrong and the chickens cannot be stolen, the rice will be lost too much.It just made Jiang Haoran wonder why the chairman thought Xue Yue could win this battle.
