Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 907 The Genius' Plan

"Haha" Morgan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, "Don't forget that the German trucks are bought from there!"

"Mr. Maybach, I think I should remind you that General Motors is just one of Mr. Morgan's many businesses." Durant added with a smile while extending his little finger, "That's all. Bits!"

"You" Maybach forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, "Mr. Morgan, you'd better think twice before acting."

"Don't think about it, I've made my decision."

"Humph! Let's go!"

"No delivery!"

Maybach and Daimler walked out of General Motors angrily.

"Morgan really doesn't know what to do!" Daimler said viciously.

Maybach sighed and said, "I hate him, but I have to admit that I have been shocked by his great strength and frankness."

"We must not give up any opportunity until the last moment! Implement our plan and start with the members of Congress!"

Neither of them saw it, and Morgan and Durant exchanged a knowing glance as they walked out of GM.

It's a pity that there are many people who think differently from Morgan. I don't know if it's because Morgan has seen too much money in his life, or some people have seen too little money in his life.

A few days after the incident, a large number of congressmen were recruited either by the German envoys or by the British and French envoys. Most of the congressmen were urging President Kennedy to come up with a plan to determine who would have the right to dig the Panama Canal.Domestic and foreign?If the United States is unable to develop it on its own, is it necessary to introduce foreign funds?
Investors from Britain, France and Germany can be said to want to intervene in the development of the Panama Canal regardless of the cost.Kennedy was once reminded by a think tank that whoever intervenes in the Panama Canal will indirectly intervene in U.S. policy. Once a war breaks out in the future, the actual interests of the Panama Canal and its huge influence on the U.S. will become the hands of a certain party. A huge weight.However, Kennedy had no choice. The United States did not have the ability to undertake the task of digging the Panama Canal, and a large part of the American people were skeptical about this magnificent project.It is impossible to dig the canal without the help of foreign powers.Moreover, Kennedy also has his own little ninety-nine. He insists on completing this huge project because he believes that no matter who is involved, the Panama Canal is dominated by the United States, and this work will also bring him a huge amount of political achievements.

"Mr. President, Mr. Qiao Zhiyong from Zhonghua Automobile Company requests an appointment with you." Just when Kennedy was at a loss, his special assistant Ronald came in and said.

"God! How did I forget him? See you soon, I want to see him immediately!"

After more than an hour, Qiao Zhiyong sat in the spacious office of the White House again.

"President, it seems that you are worried about something! You look worried." Qiao Zhiyong said with a smile. He and Kennedy are already old acquaintances.

"Mr. Qiao, don't you ask the question knowingly? You don't know why I worry about things?"

"Don't worry, I'll show you something." Qiao Zhiyong chuckled, and took out a thick stack of proposals from his purse.

Kennedy's frowning brows slowly relaxed, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he nodded silently, and said to himself, "It seems that this is the only way, and this is the only way, can Panama be saved? Fate depends on you!"

"Boss, good news!" Ford rushed in happily.

"Is it released?" Qiao Zhiyong raised his right hand and slowly combed his hair, with a calm expression on his face.

"Published!"

"The U.S. Decides to Issue Panama Canal Convertible Bonds!" The headlines on the front pages of major newspapers and publications across the U.S. were like dropping a bomb in a pool of calm lake water. There was an uproar.

Qiao Zhiyong was a little excited. The emperor had predicted in the secret message to himself that the United States would use this method to solve the funding problem of the Panama Canal. As a person who is familiar with history, Guan Xuqing put forward the Panama Canal that was originally proposed by the Morgan Consortium in history. Qiao Zhiyong was the first to propose the canal convertible bond plan to Uncle Sam. Of course, as the maker of the rules of the game, this plan is more inclined to the Qiao Group.

He has been waiting for this opportunity, and this is a big deal!In the future, the convertible bonds of the Panama Canal will appreciate dozens of times in five years and be redeemed by the United States.

"Hehe... This is a good opportunity to make a fortune!" Qiao Zhiyong continued, "Ford, how much can we afford?"

Ford squeezed his chin, moved his nose twice, and said slowly, "There must be no problem with 60% of the total assets, if it is considered under normal circumstances."

"It should be so, but"

"Eh?" Ford asked quickly, "What's the matter?"

"I'm afraid that Morgan will trip us up, and China Motor Company will be in danger of going bankrupt by then."

"Well! Morgan is an old fox who penetrates everywhere. He has been watching us. Every time we take a step, it is actually a gamble!"

Qiao Zhiyong thought silently. "Yes."

"What's the matter, tell me quickly."

"The only way is to wait. After we understand what Morgan means, it's not too late for us to move." Qiao Zhiyong said with a half-smile.

"Hey, what kind of idea is this?" Ford sighed, and said helplessly, "How big are Morgan's wings? I can tell you this, Morgan will definitely buy it, and if he does, he won't buy less."

"Oh, old man, bonds are for buying, but we're not going to buy them."

"You mean Mr. Rockefeller?"

Qiao Zhiyong nodded and said, "I just talked with him, and we agreed that Zhonghua Automobile Company should go public and issue shares as soon as possible, so that we will have more money to invest in bonds."

Ford thought, if he got a free ride from Rockefeller, it would be the best of both worlds. First, he could bluff to seduce the old fox Morgan, and second, he could quietly buy the bonds of the Panama Canal. A lot of money.

"Oh, that's a good idea." Ford went on, "but what about the Jewish merchant Sadie?"

When Ford mentioned this, Qiao Zhiyong suddenly realized that due to the development of Zhonghua Automobile Company and the involvement of the Rockefeller family, Shadi basically quit the company's leadership and turned to concentrate on running McDonald's catering company. Enough is enough, for a moment Qiao Zhiyong really forgot this important matter.

"Yes, I'm afraid that if he disagrees, the plan will inevitably be exposed."

"Acquisition of shares!" Qiao Zhiyong and Ford said in unison.

"Buy my shares?" Jewish businessman Sadie asked in wonder.

"It's not an acquisition, it's a purchase? Hehe" Qiao Zhiyong said cheerfully.

"This, isn't it good?" Sha Di rolled his eyes and said slowly, "It is only through our joint efforts that China Automobile Company has achieved what it is today, although we signed the contract on the basis of transferable bonds and shares , but it didn't explain, when you buy my shares, when will I have to sell my shares, huh? Ha ha "

"You misunderstood, of course that's not what you mean." Qiao Zhiyong continued, "China Automobile Company intends to spend huge sums of money to invest in the financial industry."

Shadi thought to himself, don't lie to me, if you invest in the financial industry, you are not seeking your own death, can you beat Morgan?You, Qiao Zhiyong, are not mentally handicapped, so you must be playing tricks again. "Hehe, this matter. To be honest, I'm really old, and I can't stand bumping around with young people like you. Selling shares can be considered."

Qiao Zhiyong was overjoyed, the old fox had been bluffed so easily, it seemed that Sha Di was indeed a little confused.

Qiao Zhiyong went on to say, "This is also a helpless move. I really don't want to pay for all your painstaking efforts over the past few years."

"It's still you young people who are thoughtful. I really don't know how to thank you." Shadi continued: "Give me a little time, and soon I will sell my little stake."

"Mr. Shadi, on behalf of all the employees of Zhonghua Automobile Company, I would like to thank you for your understanding and support." Qiao Zhiyong continued, "We will follow the agreement on how to divide the equity, and Ainsley did the same when he left. , but we can pay you an extra $50 as benefits, what do you think?"

"First of all, I would like to thank the company for the benefits." Shadi continued, "But how many times has the company expanded? The shares should be more interesting, and I can't lose money, right?"

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Qiao Zhiyong said straightforwardly, "How about five times?"

Sha Di shook his head, stretched out his four fingers, and said, "This much is enough for me."

"Four times is enough?"

"It's forty times! You said it just now, and you still want to give me an extra 50 US dollars as a bonus, right? Young people must count their words!"

Qiao Zhiyong's heart skipped a beat, this is almost the same, it's obviously blackmail.

Sadie nodded with a smile.

After haggling for a while, Qiao Zhiyong finally redeemed his shares at thirty times the capital of Shadi before he took over.

"30 times!" Ford said in amazement, "30 times, you can agree!"

"Not only that, but also a bonus of $50."

"Boss, you are so confused." Ford looked at Qiao Zhiyong's face and continued, "You must have been fooled by the old fox."

In fairness, with the current scale of China Automobile Company, it is not too much to redeem the original shares at a price of 30 times the price, but Ford thinks that the $50 is really wronged. It seems that people really cannot sympathize with those seemingly Poor hungry wolf, when he turns his head back, he will definitely take a big bite, making you hard to guard against.

"Thirty times is nothing. Now, I have more cash. When the Panama Canal bonds are issued, I will have more money to buy them." Qiao Zhiyong laughed.
