Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 745 The Power of $15 Billion
The pawn that Guan Xuqing has been operating for three years can finally play a role.He always pays attention to the situation of the US general election, and the final result is to create a new US that is swayed by the interests of the Chinese Empire.Politics, after all, achieves its goals through economic means, and achieves new economic goals through political means influenced by economics!Suppressing the expansion of the U.S. economy and maximizing China's economic interests in future expansion has become a visible fruit of victory under Guan Xuqing's painstaking management and layout.

When Kennedy came to California with his campaign propaganda team, a high-level gathering of American economic giants kicked off at the Whitney estate.Giants from almost all major trusts and syndicates in the United States have gathered here under different names. Under the auspices of Qiao Zhiyong, the president of Qiao's Group, they planned to launch a financial storm.Of course, the arrival of these people is also to raise the flag for Kennedy's campaign in the western economic center.

In the spacious and luxurious hall, the meeting held in the form of a reception is in full swing.

John Rockefeller, Carnegie Jr., Andrew Mellon, Morgan, DuPont and others stood around the podium, listening to the candidates explaining the liberal economic theory and his plans for future economic policies hoarsely.Of course, this is not only a topic of interest to giants today, but also a political issue closely related to financial trends.To be realistic, the giants need a candidate to deliver on his promises to ease the pressure on trusts after a victory, and for that reason, the giants are more than willing to listen to this new theory.

"The expansion of capital is an inevitable phenomenon when domestic demand cannot meet the needs of capital development. It is impossible and should not use administrative means to stop what happens naturally. What can be done is to tap the potential of the domestic economy and increase domestic consumption demand. , to promote the rapid and stable development of the financial market, thereby laying the foundation for the continued growth of capital and global competitiveness. This is the interest of the United States!" Kennedy's last flattering words won applause from the audience, and the giants enthusiastically clapped to him and shouted, "Long live the interests of America!"

Qiao Zhiyong waited for the applause to subside a little, then stood on the podium, tapped the microphone with his fingers, and sorted out the chaotic order in the venue.But the giants are very obedient, and everyone knows that the real feast is coming.

"Dear friends, as the most influential tycoons in the United States, if you gather here, there will inevitably be some miracles that will shake the entire United States! Now, I would like to ask everyone, how much money has been prepared for the planned investment?" Qiao Zhiyong completely He didn't speak in the usual serious and polite way. He knew that the people in front of him were people who were thinking about money like crazy, so he had to use exaggerated and provocative tone and gestures to adjust the atmosphere of the meeting to the right level.

"One hundred million!"

"8000 million!"

"Three hundred million!"

The giants reported their numbers enthusiastically one by one, which was arranged by Qiao Zhiyong when the plan was initially made.

"So, there are 15 billion US dollars of funds in this place that can be used immediately? A miracle will happen unstoppably! I suggest that a committee be organized immediately to make the entire financial investment plan! The US market will be affected by the huge financial market Prosperous and hotter!" Qiao Zhiyong said loudly, waving his arms.He knows that the plan is perfect so far, but to bring these people with different ideas together, it still needs personal charm and passion.

Rockefeller jumped onto the podium, and instead of approaching the microphone, he raised his hands and shouted: "It's not about sweeping the United States, the European financial market must also be driven by New York. Our goal should be expanded to the whole world!"

Crazy Rockefeller shouted crazy slogans.It's a different feeling for Qiao Zhiyong to hear these words. It is inevitable to affect the European financial market, but the plan did not consider hitting the European financial market when the emperor raised the topic!This might be a small loophole, but when Rockefeller said it, Qiao Zhiyong quickly expanded the whole plan in his mind.From the United States to the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, once the financial investment storm breaks out, countries will have to consider intensifying the grabbing of resources in order to save the financial system in a certain period of time in the future. The world financial market will fall into chaos, which will basically not affect China. Because of China's conservative monetary policy, the original plan was to hit the US financial market. Now Qiao Zhiyong decided to expand the plan infinitely, and at the same time expand the scope of the attack as much as possible.

That night, Qiao Zhiyong transmitted his new ideas to Beijing via radio waves.

Guan Xuqing read the telegram several times, and finally recruited Sheng Xuanhuai and Tang Shaoyi, and had to discuss economic issues with them.

"It is very difficult to start the financial markets of the world with US$15 billion. Besides, it needs to be detonated from the United States, and the issue of time also needs to be considered. Your Majesty, the economic aggregates of the United States, Britain, France, and Germany cannot be leveraged by this amount of funds. , It’s too risky, once all the countries see through the mystery and unite to suppress Qiao Zhiyong, then Qiao Zhiyong is likely to lose everything.” Sheng Xuanhuai said with a serious face, as the president of the Imperial Investment Bank and the Minister of Commerce, he is very clear about Western countries. How big China's economic aggregate is, it is unimaginable to leverage a ball of hundreds of billions of dollars with 15 billion U.S. dollars.

Tang Shaoyi bowed to the emperor, and said: "The investment of US$15 billion in the US financial market in a short period of time can cause shocks and spread to Europe, but we can't speculate on the extent and strength of the impact now, because we still can't control the direction of the market. Chen thought that what needs to be noted is that we are three pawns in the United States, the propaganda of the presidential candidate, the increase of the minimum wage of workers, and the injection of funds into the financial market. Europe, we don’t have these conditions. However, we can create conditions without conditions. Your Majesty, I suggest dismantling Qiao’s oil and listing it in London, so that we can concentrate on collecting funds before the war. Now oil is attracting a lot of attention in Europe, so release part of it The shares do not affect the empire's dominance over oil. In this way, once the U.S. financial market becomes bullish, the repercussions in London will be much greater. At the same time, taking advantage of the financial investment boom, Trader Joe's oil stocks can also be sold at a high price. Here The oil and water are much bigger.”

"So, your inclination is to make things big?" Guan Xuqing asked calmly.

"If there are no political problems, a large-scale money-circulating campaign can be carried out. The funds come from the US$15 billion raised by Qiao Zhiyong and the proceeds from the listing of Qiao's Petroleum. There is another point to consider. Once the plan is successful, the Western The country's economic crisis will intensify, and once they are aware of it, their countermeasures will be aroused."

Tang Shaoyi's words caused Guan Xuqing to think deeply.Bringing Jiangdong into trouble, the focus of everything will definitely be traced to the next American.In this way, the relationship between the United States and European countries will be compromised, and the post-war United States may be isolated from the world. At least this matter will also become an inducement for the United States to be isolated!Anyway, no matter which aspect you look at, it is beneficial to China.

"Ask Liang Qichao and the others to come over, let's discuss this matter carefully!" Guan Xuqing became excited, collecting money, blaming others, attacking, and preparing for the empire's expansion war. The most practical plan seems to have been integrated into one. in hand! "

The three cabinet ministers soon arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the emperor himself called urgently, which was a rare event.But as soon as they saw the two Gods of Wealth were there, they roughly figured out what they would talk about today.

"Actually, what we mainly attack is the national economy that may pose a threat to our expansion in the future. Your Majesty, this will benefit the Soviet Union, which has a relatively independent economic system. The balance has thus been broken. Be careful! Your Majesty. "As soon as Xiong Xiling heard the Minister of Finance finished speaking, he reminded with sweat all over his forehead.

Guan Xuqing smiled relaxedly and said: "This is the result we want. We have already done strategic deduction. We not only need to develop industry and people's livelihood economy in the war, but also to gain the world's leading position step by step in the war. To achieve this goal, the United Kingdom must be weakened, and the United States must be suppressed. For us, war is a blood-sucking machine, and we must maximize the suction of other people's blood and inject it into our blood vessels. This is the most fundamental purpose. Weakening the Western countries before the war and creating an economic crisis are all the needs of the development interests of the empire."

Xiong Xiling took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat. Today's topic is too big. It is completely an overall strategy led by economic offensive. The emperor wants to actively control the war, and prevent and isolate the United States and other Western powers in advance.You have to think about it, think about it carefully, what the emperor said makes sense and is very attractive.However, if this is not done well, the economic loss will be secondary. The important thing is that the whole world will hate the empire!At that time, it is really uncertain whether World War III will happen. "

Liang Qichao and Zaifeng were also silent for a while.

War!In fact, it will start from this time, but the enemy in the eyes of the emperor is the whole world. Before the war, the economy will attack the western powers, during the war, the military will attack the interest groups, and after the war, the politics will attack the United States. The crazy and tempting plan is really possible If it succeeds, the empire expansion war will really become a stepping stone for the empire to fight for world hegemony.

Zaifeng stood up, bowed down and took a sip of the teacup, and said after a while: "My brother suggested that this plan be combined with the empire's plan to launch counterfeit banknotes to attack the British financial market, and the Rothschild family will cooperate with Qiao Zhiyong Working in the background, the timing of the outbreak of the financial turmoil must be well timed, and the closing must be fast and steady, otherwise it is likely to be caught by those countries."
