Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 250 Seven: Negotiation 3 (Second) (Seeking Subscription, Monthly Pass, Various!!!)

Chen Feng's words scared little John into a cold sweat. Even though Little John didn't want to admit it, he knew that this kind of thing was not impossible.Before, he had always thought about how to use Japan to contain or even eliminate the Red Soviet Union, and he hadn't considered the changes in the strength of each other. After Chen Feng reminded him, Little John suddenly discovered that the military strength of the United States and Japan had quietly changed. changed.

Thinking about the [-] troops in the country, not to mention protecting the colonies, it would be nice to be able to improve the security of the country. Fighting wars is too far away for those spoiled children.

Chen Feng did not give him time to react, and continued: "Mr. Morgan, another reason why the United States supports Japan is due to economic considerations. A war between China and Japan or an impending war between Japan and the Soviet Union in your opinion The war between Germany, Soviet Union and Germany is beneficial to the United States. Maybe you plan to use this opportunity to engage in trilateral trade. If there is a shortage of resources, you will provide weapons and equipment to the other side and make war profits, so as to help the United States out of the economic crisis. Mire."

Seeing that Little John wanted to refute again, Chen Feng raised his hand to stop him from speaking, but said: "Mr. Morgan, you don't have to refute, the truth cannot be false, and the false cannot be true. Listen to me if it is true or false. I am afraid that Mr. Morgan knows better than me what it was like before World War I. At that time, the United States was a second-rate country, not a mainstream country in the world at all. It can be said that the rise of the United States is closely related to World War I. Mr. Morgan, whether you Admit it or not. Whether the United States is neutral or participates in the war, when and in what form it participates in the war depends on how to maximize its interests."

"The United States is far away from Europe, has a good capitalist industrial base, and is rich in mineral resources. This made the United States close to or surpass the old capitalist countries such as Britain, France, and Germany at the beginning of the 20th century. So when the war broke out in Europe, For the United States, which is far away from the battlefield, it undoubtedly provides a rare opportunity for it to achieve great development! In the early stage of the war, the United States used its own advantages and, as a neutral country, sold its own weapons and war materials to both sides of the war for excess profits. U.S. banks can also issue large amounts of loans to countries such as Britain, France, Germany, and Russia, thus making a fortune in war. In fact, after the end of World War I, the United States completely established its hegemony in the global economic system. In the later stages of the war, in order to further grab the maximum benefit , the United States is going to participate in the distribution of spoils, figuratively speaking, it is going to "go down the mountain to pick peaches". The United States declared war on Germany after being fully prepared. In the end, it won a complete victory. In World War I. Although Britain and France won. But the war brought Huge damage, huge casualties, and huge foreign debts have destroyed the industrial base of Britain, France and other countries, and the labor force is insufficient. The shortage of funds and other problems have seriously weakened the strength of these countries, making their post-war development difficult. The world's major capitalists such as Britain, France, Germany and Russia The weakening or defeat of a powerful country has removed all obstacles for the rise of the United States. After World War I, the United States became the number one power in the world. Just like what you are doing now, take advantage of the outbreak of war between China and Japan to sell strategic materials to Japan. for economic gain."

Even though Little John didn't want to admit that it was not an honor after all, he had to agree with Chen Feng's words from the bottom of his heart.

"Chen, but the situation now is different from World War I. Americans are dealing with an economic crisis and domestic isolationism prevails, so the United States must maintain a neutral position. This is what the U.S. government and the American people want to see. But in order to develop Economically, even during the implementation of the neutrality law, we must conduct trade activities with warring countries, including war materials, otherwise we will not be able to get out of the economic crisis, let alone restore the destroyed economy." Little John said.

Chen Feng smiled and said: "So, I can describe your American government in this way. Your American government doesn't care whether the war between the two warring parties is just or not, and you don't care about the extent of the war between the two sides. What you care about is only the interests of the United States. Gaining benefits in the war between the two sides is more about how much benefit you get. Then there is a basis for our cooperation, because I can bring you huge benefits to the US government, which is unmatched by the Japanese government.”

Little John looked at Chen Feng with great interest, and said, "Chen, I want to know what benefits you are talking about?"

"Political, economic, military and other multiple interests!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Oh, you seem to be very confident. Come on, as long as you can convince me, then even changing the US national strategy is fine. I can tell you that this time I am not only representing President Roosevelt, but also representing Morgan family, Rockefeller family, and DuPont family." Little John said.

"Let's start with the most intuitive economic benefits. As far as I know, the US trade volume with Japan last year was 6.3 million U.S. dollars, of which the export of military materials was 1.8 million U.S. dollars. Leaving aside all kinds of costs, the U.S. government and companies have gained from it. The net profit will not exceed 15 million US dollars, which means that the US export trade profit to Japan is only about 30%. But if the US government is willing to cooperate with me, I can guarantee that the US government can get a net profit of at least 20 billion US dollars per year, and in addition It can drive [-] to [-] jobs." Chen Feng said.

"A net profit of US$30 billion? Chen, did I hear you right?" Little John was obviously taken aback by this figure.

"Hehehe, of course I heard correctly!" Chen Feng said.

"How is this possible? As far as I know, your family's total assets are only 5 million U.S. dollars, and you have to count the 1.5 million U.S. dollars in purchases from the sale last month. How can you guarantee the U.S. government's annual 30 billion U.S. dollars?" Profit?" Little John asked loudly.

"$30 billion may seem like a lot to you, but in my opinion this figure is still too conservative. I want to ask you, what is the total market for penicillin drugs?"

"It's really difficult to estimate. After all, anyone can get sick, and they have to take medicine after getting sick. And your penicillin drug is the most miraculous drug in the world, so this market is really difficult to grasp." Little John said.

"Mr. Morgan, you are wrong. This market is best grasped. The total market value of penicillin actually depends on our production capacity. If our annual output is 1 million US dollars, then the total market value is 100 million US dollars. If our annual output If it is 100 billion US dollars, then its total market is [-] billion US dollars.”

Little John's eyes lit up suddenly, and he suddenly asked: "Then I want to know how big this market is. If it is really as big as 100 billion US dollars, I think our cooperation will be very pleasant."

Little John knew about the sales boom of penicillin drugs in the United States, and the popularity was enough to make all financiers, bankers and companies take the initiative to accept it.Even though the economic crisis has not completely passed, people who went to buy penicillin still crowded the stores of the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family.

More importantly, Little John knows how profitable penicillin is.A box of amoxicillin, which costs $50, is sold for $200 in the United States.The purchase price of a bottle of penicillin liquid for infusion is only 40 US dollars, but the selling price is as high as 180 US dollars. The most important thing is that the supply of this drug is in short supply. The goods worth more than 3000 million US dollars from the two families were completely sold out in less than a week up.

If the penicillin drug production plant under the control of Chen Feng can produce 100 billion US dollars of penicillin drug annually.Even the US government can only get 110.The profit is also considerable. A profit of 30 billion should not be a problem.But this premise is that the production capacity of the penicillin drug production plant controlled by Chen Feng can increase, otherwise everything is nonsense.

Chen Feng said in a rather disdainful tone: "What is 100 billion, but it is only half a year's production capacity of my factory. If we work overtime, the production capacity can be doubled on this basis!"

"What?" Little John looked at Chen Feng in disbelief. The $100 billion worth of goods was only half a year's output of his factory, which meant that Chen Feng's factory could produce at least $200 billion worth of penicillin drugs every year. It can be doubled, that is, the production capacity of 400 billion U.S. dollars. Based on the 300% profit calculation, this is a huge profit of 1200 billion U.S. dollars.

The profit of 1200 billion U.S. dollars completely stunned Little John. You must know that the national fiscal revenue of the United States in 1937 was only 1097 billion U.S. dollars, and these are the annual fiscal revenues of the United States. Compared with the two, the gap is revealed.

"Well, I think this number is enough to tempt the U.S. government. In addition, you can stand morally by cooperating with me. President Roosevelt's life should be very difficult now. Your support for Japan's invasion of China is to support the gang of animals who slaughtered China. People, I think the American people will probably not agree to an unjust government to represent them. If you cooperate with me, you are on the side of justice. The image of the government will quickly be recognized by the people in the country. President Roosevelt and this administration Officials will also get more support from voters. In addition, if you cooperate with me, you and the United States will gain the friendship of many countries including China and North Korea, and you can also get a lot of advanced weapons and equipment technology, which can make national defense The power has been greatly enhanced. And the price for obtaining these things is just the loss of Japan's trade income, which is more important, I think Mr. Morgan will not be unclear." Chen Feng continued.

"Chen, you are an excellent speaker. Your speech moved me. On behalf of the US government, I will fully cooperate with you and the forces behind you. I wish us a happy cooperation!"

"No, it's not me who moved you, but the interest that moved the US government!" Chen Feng said humorously. (To be continued..)

Off-topic edits will be alerted. "Change your thinking first and then change people, and if you don't change your thinking, change people." If you don't listen to it, the consequences are very serious. If you don't listen to it, you will be warned, and if you are serious, you will directly "harmonize" the work. You should know some of the ways better than me, so please understand each other in the future , Don't start scolding at every turn, it's boring.What Aotian wants to do is to provide for the family, and what you want to do is to have fun, right!Mutual understanding is king!Thanks!
