Wall Street of the third generation chaebol

Chapter 39

＜ Secret meeting with a London banker. (2) >

“How many machine guns do you have left?”

“Even if we exclude the amount to be delivered to Ireland, we have accumulated quite a lot. But I don’t know how much to arm an army of 200,000.”

“Well, you’ll have to negotiate with the Spanish Empire to find out.”

After finishing the phone call with Robert, DWM’s New York, Connecticut, and Detroit plants were preparing to export machine guns, rifles, and ammunition.

The DWM firearms factories, which had been continuously expanded, were operating at full capacity, and machine guns, rifles, and ammunition were literally vomiting out of the factories.

The machine guns, rifles, and ammunition thus produced were piled up one after another at the windows of New York Harbor, waiting for them to be smuggled out.

“Don’t you need someone’s machine gun to sell to America?”

“Vyron is right. Those who will sell it to the United States will also have to take a picture in advance. Machine guns take too long to produce.”

“Yes!”

Veyron, who was in charge of DWM, was flying when there was a large number of deliveries.

As I later found out, Veyron was German-American. The Junker-like aspect that I felt at first impressions may have been influenced by his German origin.

So I dedicated the DWM to him, who is of German descent. Once I speak German, I can communicate with the artisans at the gun factory.

“Director, this conveyor belt is the real deal.”

And the Veyron had become an ardent Conveyor Belt devotee. Besides finance, he was also good at supply chain management.

In the meantime, if you see that I haven’t heard anything like defective inventory or a workers’ strike, it means I’m done talking.

Workers strike….well. You would have handled it well.

Veyron put a smile on his handsome face and covered his mouth with gloves.

His lips were almost twitching from the urge to laugh.

‘No, just laugh. Because the face is scary.’

“Thanks to the division of labor, the production speed is unmatched, and labor costs are low because there are fewer manpower. Even factory workers are rapidly increasing the skill level and the cost is gradually decreasing, what is this…”

“Haha, you look delicious. How did the craftsmen at DWM Germany react?”

“It’s half surprise, half horror. Without craftsmen, the complex parts of the machine gun are assembled and poured out of the factory.”

The conveyor belt is not only a tool to kill artisans, but ironically, it is also a structure that does not work without the artisans.

Because the complicated process that ordinary workers could not do was a unique area that only craftsmen could do. Can’t we just make something without a process?

Their fear will be a suitable whip. Now it’s time to present the carrots.

“Let’s try flirting with those craftsmen. Do you have any plans to sit down in the North American branch? He calls Fay a little louder, and he says he will take care of his family.”

“Although some craftsmen have turned their eyes, I think it will be easy.”

“That’s good.”

While DWM’s factories run smoothly, ammunition, rifles, and machine guns are mass-produced and piled up in New York Harbor.

From Lloyd’s Insurance North America, Robert returned to the British Empire.

Follow me-

– We have brought Barclays executives from our Syndicate.

A few days later, Robert led Barclays bank executives into the United States.

***

“Huh… I heard he was 16, but I can’t believe it.”

Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.

Barclays executives and two camps, Robert, and James, sat facing each other in the parlor of the guest room.

Robert was originally familiar with the United States, and there was a mention of James, so I wasn’t too surprised that I was 16, but the Barclays executives I met today for the first time looked at me with their eyes wide open.

I reached out to them.

“Detroit is ‘Morgan’ too.”

“……!!!”

it’s morgan

They turned their heads towards Robert as if they were just starting out. Robert, who was sitting next to him, looked quite surprised.

It was intentional, though.

‘Did you erase the demerit of being 16 due to the shock of being a blood relative of the Morgan family? That’s pretty good.’

As I secretly thanked Robert, he quietly nodded and picked up the mug. After such a brief personal investigation, the executives of Barclays rushed to the main topic.

“I heard the rough design through Robert. When I heard the Strait of Gibraltar as a bait for the taste of the British Empire, I slapped my knees. We decided that it was a plan in which profit relations and the logic of power were intertwined like hard gears.”

“I’m happy.”

“First of all, thank you for choosing our Barclays to lend to the Spanish Empire.”

“haha. no.”

I smiled awkwardly.

Contrary to their expectations, unfortunately, I did not choose Barclays. The only bank to ask the UK was Barclays.

Of course, there were some recommendations from Robert, but there was no other bank in the British Empire that could handle such a transaction, except for Barclays Bank.

‘But it’s too big to attract the Rothschilds.’

The Baring Bank was taken into bankruptcy in Argentina in 1890 due to a panic, so of course this is not the case. HSBC Bank in Hong Kong and Shanghai is also too far away, so pass.

‘I already have a huge partner called the government of the British Empire, and if I bring in the Rothschilds, the initiative is completely out of my hands.’

That’s why I chose Barclays Bank.

“So, can we, Barclays, transfuse a low-interest loan to the Spanish Empire?”

“Probably you guys, Barclays Bank should work most closely with the government of the British Empire. It will be a direct creditor to the Spanish Empire.”

“That’s a good thing. It is best if we can get to know the government of our country through this opportunity.”

After all, the more close a big bank gets to the government of the British Empire, the more opportunities it has to make money.

It can be seen from the fact that the British cabinet ran to the Rothschilds to take over the Suez Canal.

You’ve been working on the De Beers Diamond Mine Trust lately, right?

“Yes, but a simple low-interest loan is not enough to sink the Spanish Empire.”

“then?”

“Let’s make a floating rate contract based on a special contract.”

special drug.

If the contract contains a toxin clause, in all probability, a trap is installed in the special contract. In particular, for transactions in the financial district, the special contract requires lawyers to rush into each law firm and check it thoroughly.

Otherwise you will suffer

“…a floating rate.”

“Yes, from the perspective of the Spanish Empire, it would be no different. If they win, the special contract will not be activated and interest rates will be low, and if they lose, interest rates will skyrocket. But if the machine gun shimmers and you start to feel confident that you will win the war…”

“Even though it is Gyereuk, we will sign a contract with a variable interest rate.”

In warfare, the economy slows down, leading to inflation. Even more so in the case of the Spanish Empire, where fiscal soundness is garbage to the extent that it is called a symbol of bankruptcy. Perhaps, like Germany after the Treaty of Versailles, it may fall into the abyss.

To catch inflation?

The only answer is to raise interest rates. Money has become garbage in the market, so we need to suck it up into the bank and increase the value of the currency.

And what if interest rates rise?

Well, you’ll probably see the interest rates on low-interest loans go through the roof and into space.

“It’s a special treat…”

problem here.

Can the financiers of the Spanish Empire be able to beat the financiers of the City of London, the outliers of finance? If London’s financiers are determined and put a special deal, chances are high that they won’t even notice.

That’s why the idea of paying it back is a very dangerous idea.

If you lose, you are bankrupt.

“It’s really bad….no, that’s a clever idea.”

“I feel like there is something strange in front of me…”

“It’s about the mood.”

Barclays executives started arguing among themselves about my offer. Then, as they took out the documents they had prepared, they started scribbling on the paper with a fountain pen.

I waited.

As soon as they came to a conclusion, they looked at me again.

“Let’s add one more device here.”

“Another device?”

Who isn’t hateful?

You just put a special contract in your contract that will open the gates of hell, but you’re going to light hellfire here?

There were no demons without tears or mercy.

“The conditions are simple. After all, if the Spanish Empire moves to a moratorium, won’t the gold standard system be shaken?”

And Barclays executives opened the Hellgate.

“Then let’s sign a contract in pound sterling.”

“…..!!!”

I tapped my forehead.

The pound sterling is the currency of the British Empire and the closest currency to the reserve currency at this time.

Are you going to take out the exchange rate card from here? After all, the British Empire was a country of haters.

The Spanish Empire’s gold standard is shaken and the exchange rate starts to go crazy, but inflation is also overlapping?

‘Such toxic children.’

A future in which the debt of the Spanish Empire would snowball began to appear.

Washington DC

British Embassy in the United States.

“Morocco?”

Barclays Bank and Lloyd’s Insurance were busy working behind the scenes, and the British government could not have been unaware of this.

Lloyd’s Insurance is the world’s center of insurance, and Barclays is a major British bank. When a large number of those executives entered the United States, the embassy had no choice but to know. I was also aiming for this.

The British ambassador to the US rubbed his chin.

“Yes, it is said that Lloyd’s Insurance, Barclays Bank, and a hedge fund recently called a Wall Street hero were involved.”

“Is the design the hedge fund gnome again?”

“Yeah, he seems to have redesigned the railroad industry, and this time around, he’s in the design again.”

“He’s like a monster.”

The ambassador narrowed his eyes.

“If that’s the case, it might be their intentions to get these detailed blueprints into our hands.”

“I think so too.”

‘The Strait of Gibraltar.’

Now that he was playing the Great Game with the Russian Empire, he knew deeply about the ripple effect of the Strait of Gibraltar.

“I heard that the recent move by the Russian Empire is unusual.”

“Yes, it is said that the monarch of the Korean Empire fled to the Russian legation in the Far East. It seems to be the aftermath of the Japanese Empire killing the Queen of the Korean Empire.”

“I thought Afghanistan was stabilizing, but a small country in the Far East is causing trouble. At this rate, the Korean Empire, a country the size of a pea, will be passed on to the Russian Empire.”

No matter how much they assassinate the queen of a country, it seems that the savage monkeys of the Japanese Empire have not yet abandoned their savage habits.

As a result, the Russian Empire was about to move south to the Far East, but a helping hand came from an unexpected place.

“If only Tangier and Ceuta in Morocco can be obtained, the Strait of Gibraltar becomes the realm of the British Empire.”

“The important thing is the Black Sea, which is connected to the Mediterranean Sea.”

Black Sea.

The center of the gunpowder depot between the Balkans and the Russian Empire. Among them, the Sevastopol naval port in Crimea, where the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Empire is stationed, is the biggest obstacle.

“Rusky bastards, if you lose the Crimean War, you’ll be quiet. You have resurrected the Black Sea Fleet, which was disbanded as soon as France collapsed in the Franco-Prussian War, and are sitting here.”

“The Far East is also a problem, but the Black Sea Fleet also overlaps.”

“Isn’t there even a Trans-Siberian railroad being built there? But if the British Empire gets the Strait of Gibraltar, it can slap the Ruskis in the back of the head looking to the Far East.”

🥳-

The ambassador pulled out a map on the desk.

“And it’s not just the Black Sea Fleet, the Balkans are a problem too. And this Strait of Gibraltar can be a clue to solving those problems.”

Currently, there are only two passages out of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal.

Although the Suez Canal is tightly controlled by the British Empire, the situation in the Strait of Gibraltar is different.

Because France had part of Morocco.

“If we can get the Strait of Gibraltar this time, three problems will be solved.”

“Yes, the Balkans and the Black Sea Fleet will be controlled by our British Empire. And French West Africa.”

Casablanca.

A port city in French Morocco. It was a city that was the core of France’s transversal policy and was the biggest obstacle for the British Empire to pursue a longitudinal policy.

If you get the Strait of Gibraltar, you can project the influence of the British Empire here too.

“French West Africa, the Balkans, and the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Empire will be resolved at once.”

As a bonus, the navy of the Ottoman Empire also fell into the hands of the British Empire.

The profits that come to mind right now are this much, but wouldn’t the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the home country be able to extract greater profits than the one ambassador himself?

“haha.”

The British ambassador to the US raised an eyebrow. Even if the devil asks you to make a contract with your soul, you can’t refuse it.

It was truly a demonic bait.

“If this is the bait that will lead to the government of the British Empire, then it is the best bait.”

I’m going to roll my eyes

If you miss this, you may be shot and killed by the imperialists in your home country and the admirals of the Admiralty.

Maybe the face to see the Queen will disappear.

‘I can’t.’

“aide.”

“Yes.”

“Before sending this letter to your home country, please call the hedge fund first.”

“Now?”
