Chapter 250 Hu Weizhong

The Shanxi plan is crucial for Hu Chuyuan, but at this point, the more important thing is the "yellow finch".

During this period, Hu Chuyuan's main energy is still concentrated in the "yellow finch". The "yellow finch" battle covered by the "sthe" will mobilize more than 200,000 people, with 67,000 direct landing troops and 145,000 follow-up troops.

Holding 2.7 billion yuan of treasury bonds, Hu Chuyuan is not short of money for the time being.

Therefore, as long as the success of the "yellow finch" can be guaranteed, he will never be stingy. He will give as much support as he wants for the army and the navy department.

For the whole plan, Hu Chuyuan personally asked and served as the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief of the front line was Ye Bojun... Ye Bojun is one of the few generals in China who can command the army, navy and is proficient in landing operations, and has experience in large-scale landing operations. Moreover, he is also on the front line of the Ryukyu Islands, which makes the "sle" trick. The drawing looks more realistic.

Although the total strength of the army has been expanded to more than 900,000 people, it is still very nervous after receiving some marginal news of the sickle battle, and the original North Korean plan has also been delayed again and again.

From this perspective, if the "yellow finch" plan can be successful, it will be the most memorable part of the whole Far East war, with too many pure wisdom fighting in it.

At this time, Hu Weizhong quietly returned to China.

Returning from Yingtai to the Capital Garden, he heard that Hu Weizhong had arrived home. Hu Chuyuan was also very happy and couldn't wait to walk into the lobby. At a glance, he saw that Fister Delano was talking to Wu Shuzhen, and Hu Weizhong stood next to him and listened.

"Huh?"

Hu Chuyuan was a little surprised. He didn't know that Fist Delano was also coming.

"Dad!"

As soon as he saw him come back, Hu Weizhong looked very happy.

Hu Chuyuan is also happy that his children are willing to stand up at this time, which has a very special symbolic significance for this fateful country.

He patted Hu Weizhong on the shoulder with great satisfaction and looked at the child.

In a flash, Hu Weizhong was also a 20-year-old young man. Time seemed to flow back to 20 years ago. At that time, Hu Chuyuan was only 20 years old and had just inherited the large amount of wealth left by Hu Xueyan.

Very good.

The family should be like this. Every generation should have a person who can stand up resolutely and carry a heavy burden.

Fister Delano got up and walked over, shook hands with Hu Chuyuan, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for several years, my Prime Minister!"

Hu Chuyuan also smiled. They are real old friends.

Over the years, Hu Chuyuan's business in the United States has been basically the responsibility of Fist Delano and Albert Russell. The former is responsible for a wider range of Wells Fargo Investment Bank of America, and the latter mainly focuses on SIC and Wanqi Group.

He and Fister Delano asked, "Why did you come here suddenly? Send me a telegram in advance, and I can send someone to pick you up?"

Fist Delano smiled in fluent Chinese and said, "I originally wanted to wait until the end of the year to talk to you about American Bank of America and Ops. It happened that your Weizhong was coming back, so I came by the way."

Hu Chuyuan said yes.

Business matters are never in a hurry.

Just at dinner time, Hu Chuyuan hosted a banquet at home for his old friend Fist Delano. At the banquet, Fist Delano deliberately or unintentionally talked about his excellent nephew, and praised Winnie as a very beautiful and smart girl, who was very popular in American society.

This is true.

The bloodline seems to be able to determine a person's surname. Hu Weini has been like her biological mother since she was a child. Her surname is particularly outgoing and likes a gorgeous life. As Hu Chuyuan's niece and adoptive daughter, she can really easily get everything she wants.

In the United States, her life is much more popular than her brother Wei Sai and Hu Chuyuan's other adopted daughter, Wei Ya, and she is always the focus of the American media.

In this regard, Hu Chuyuan and Wu Shuzhen have not done much involvement. On the one hand, Hu Chuyuan does not want to interfere too much with the children's choices. On the other hand, he also believes that Winnie's proper public identity in the United States may be safer than a low-key life.

Considering the special influence of the Hu family on the American economy and politics, whether you want to do business or politics, it is an obvious shortcut to pursue Hu Weini. Therefore, Hu Weini is definitely not short of excellent suitors in the United States.

Listening to the seemingly careless words of Fister Delano, Hu Chuyuan knew very well that most of Fister's trip was told by Wu Shuzhen, in order to determine the special relationship between Winnie and Fister's nephew in advance.

The problems of Bank of America and Opp... are just excuses.

Wu Shuzhen suddenly mentioned this matter a few days ago, which is just a foreshadowing at best.

Hu Chuyuan's heart is a little entangled. In fact, whether it is Theodore Roosevelt or Fist Delano's nephew, Hu Chuyuan doesn't like it very much.

In the long run, the excessively strong and gradually tough foreign expansion policy of the United States is likely to become a difficult problem for China.

At the banquet, Hu Chuyuan didn't say anything clearly.

In front of him, he paid more attention to Hu Weizhong's choice.

After dinner, Hu Chuyuan returned to the study, and Fist Delano and Hu Weizhong also came together.

The three of them sat down, and Hu Chuyuan and Hu Weizhong asked, "Have you decided to join the army?"

Hu Weizhong replied very affirmatively, "Yes."

After a pause, he added, "Dad, I want to go to the front-line army, instead of just coming back to pretend to be a number of people."

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly in agreement and said, "I plan to let you go to the northeast battlefield and participate in the preparation of the Zhili Corps. Once the Northeast battlefield is fully launched, the scale will be very... very large, and it will inevitably be the most dangerous place. You have to be prepared.

Hu Weizhong replied without hesitation, "Dad, believe me, I will take good care of myself. I just want to participate in such a test."

"Oh?"

Hu Chuyuan was a little hesitant in his heart. After all, he was his eldest son. It was false to say that he was not worried and not afraid.

But he knows very well what Hu Weizhong is thinking and what his goal is.

Looking at Hu Weizhong, he thought of a person, that is, the fourth uncle Hu Yueqiao.

Hu Wei is indeed like his grandfather Hu Yueqiao. To be precise, as always, he has the shadow of the Hu family, with a long face and a sharp jaw, a thick eyebrow tail slightly raised, and his eyes are slender.

He is still young, only 20 years old. He is Hu Chuyuan 20 years ago and has a special motivation.

At this moment, Hu Chuyuan can only pray for the blessing of the Buddha.

In the end, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he asked Feist Delano, "What's the matter with Bank of America?"

Fister Delano thought for a moment before asking seriously, "Are you going to change China's silver standard system to a gold standard system?"

"Well... I have this plan!"

Hu Chuyuan did not deny that he had let Fister Delano deal with the world silver mining industry he held at the beginning of the year. At present, the Bank of America holds 52% of the world's silver production, basically monopolizing the major large silver mines in North and South America.

In addition to the BHP company of Sigu International, the MCC company under the Asian rich flag, more than 80% of the world's silver production is under the control of the whole consortium.

If Hu Chuyuan really wants to change China's financial system into a gold standard, the real damage is himself, unless he sells these banking assets in advance.

Seeing that Hu Chuyuan did not continue, Fist Delano was more sure that the plan would come very quickly, completely exceeding the expectations of the entire international financial capital world.

He thought carefully and carefully, and then carefully asked Hu Chuyuan, "So... Is the Bank of America going to sell it completely?"

It's hard for Hu Chuyuan to say it directly.

Capital oligarchs all over the world know the relationship between Bank of America and him. As long as he still holds Bank of America for one day, it means that China will not give up the silver standard, and there is still room for silver appreciation.

After all, we have been friends for so many years, and we really need the cooperation of Fister Delano to cash out of the Bank of America.

Hu Chuyuan no longer completely concealed it, and said to Fister Delano: "China is a major country with a worldwide trade surplus. Considering national interests, whether it is the gold standard or the silver standard, China can maintain a large amount of reserves. Compared with gold, the mining cost of silver is too low. In the world, as long as an emerging large silver mine is found, the silver price will inevitably face a large-scale production increase. Especially for silver mines in South America, the enrichment is too high and the cost is too low to be used as a national currency reserve indicator.

Fister Delano had expected that he was also very well prepared. He took out a special confidential official document of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and a dozens of pages of internal evaluation information from his briefcase.

He first gave Hu Chuyuan all the difficult internal information, all of which were confidential documents that the United States was considering implementing a dual-currency system. The source of the drafting of confidential documents was the current U.S. President William McKinley.

The plan of the United States is to change the U.S. dollar to 70% gold and 30% silver.

After roughly reading it, Hu Chuyuan shook his head and said, "It is impossible for the United States to implement this plan in the end, unless you and JP Morgan give enough pressure. At present, for at least 50 years, the world's total gold reserves and production are enough to bear the heavy burden of the world's currency. This is a fatal key factor."

Fist Delano said: "I have an idea that if both China and the United States adopt such a dual-bechic monetary system, it will be beneficial for the world economy as a whole to increase the circulation rate and reserve rate of silver worldwide. Even considering the problem of large silver reserves and low production costs in the Americas, silver can still be used as a large-scale financial base currency, which will help the Asian economy avoid hedging and suppression of European gold capital in the process of development. Therefore, I am different from your judgment. I think that if both China and the United States adopt a dual-based monetary system, silver will become the foundation of the currency held by more countries.

Hu Chuyuan did not veto this, because he was also very clear.

He knows, but he prefers to compete with Europe in the simplest way on an equal stage. He believes that the simplest way is usually the best. Although adopting a dual-standard monetary system is one way, it is too complicated.

After a brief moment of thought, Hu Chuyuan and Fist Delano said bluntly, "I believe that the United States will not adopt such a monetary system in the end. The reason is very simple. Once the United States does so, the world silver price will rise by at least 30 percentage points. For the U.S. economy, this is almost It is a disaster. The same is true for China's economy.

Fister Delano was silent.

Hu Chuyuan continued: "No matter what corresponding method you propose, no matter how China and the United States intervene, the whole process will be too complicated and very vulnerable to the intervention of other international capital. Therefore, the simplest method is usually the best method at present.

Listening to this, Fist Delano knew that his lobbying action had failed.

After a little thought, he and Hu Chuyuan asked, "So, will China definitely enter the gold standard system?"

Hu Chuyuan said, "This will be a complicated problem. From the perspective of the whole national financial system, the stable surname of currency exchange is the most important. Not to mention the issue of rich minerals in the silver industry, once a country gives up the silver standard, or a large country turns to the double standard, the fluctuation of silver prices is too large. The problem of double standard is here... But we turn around and consider adopting a more flexible floating exchange rate, including the double standard system, using the market fluctuation of gold and silver to control the currency exchange rate, which is also a very good financial means of national macroeconomic regulation... The problem is that it is difficult for you to achieve. Any policy surname fluctuation may lead to a dramatic change in the price of gold and silver, and this change will be a very serious blow to the national economy.

Fister Delano continued to be silent.

As the president and direct operator of the American Wells Fargo Investment Bank, Fister Delano's influence on the United States is very great, and the dual-paterarchy system is exactly what he has been plotting to promote for the past two years.

This is terrible.

In the end, he failed to persuade Hu Chuyuan to adopt the dual standard system with the United States. He thought it would be very simple, because almost all of the world's silver industry had been monopolized by Hu Chuyuan.

Unfortunately, for the sake of national interests, Hu Chuyuan would rather bear such losses.

After thinking about it for a long time, Fist Delano couldn't help asking Hu Chuyuan, "What should I do behind the Bank of America?"

Regarding this issue, Hu Chuyuan has thought about it many times in his mind, and he replied directly: "The method is very simple. If you think that selling silver mines will cause market worries and expose our goals in advance, then you can integrate the assets of Bank of America, especially with gold in South Africa and Australia. The mining industry is integrated into the new British and American Standard Group. At that time, I can transfer the controlling stake of Standard Bank of the United Kingdom through Taikoo Foreign Bank to form a new reader.

Fister Delano nodded seriously and asked, "What are you going to do later?"

Hu Chuyuan continued: "After the birth of the new Anglo-American Standard Group, you can set up Anglo-American Standard Metal Company, British-American Standard Energy Company and Anglo-American Standard Metallurgy Company under the group. Standard Metals hold the smelting industry of steel, aluminum, copper, nickel, manganese, chromium and other metals, and standard energy develops oil, coal mines and natural gas markets. Standard Metallurgy owns the gold and silver industry and gold and silver mines in various places alone, with the production of lead, zinc and other associated metals. Standard metals and standard energy should not be listed. The group's Anglo-American Standard Bank and Standard Metallurgy are listed in London and New York, taking advantage of capital to significantly merge and merge other gold and silver mines. In this way, this will be regarded by the market as a larger-scale capital consolidation, rather than simply judging it as capital cashing out.

Hearing what he said, Fister Delano had to sigh in his heart that Hu Chuyuan was still so terrible that he hadn't come out to do business in person for so many years.

If... over the years, the rich countries of the Americas and the rich countries of Asia have always been under the control of Hu Chuyuan himself, what will happen to the two rich countries? It is really an unpredictable unknown!

This move is too cruel.

Fister Delano got through immediately and said, "Then I understand that we don't cash out directly, but constantly dilute the shares of the Standard Group in the Standard Metallurgical Company through forced mergers to reduce the final loss. When the world's silver price plummeted sharply and dragged down the stock price of Standard Metallurgy Company to plummet, we suddenly increased our holdings of stocks on the market and controlled the gold mines held by others at a low price.

Hu Chuyuan nodded and said, "Yes. In a short period of time, the price of silver will indeed plummet, but in the long run, the price of gold and silver can still be maintained at 1:20. As long as we avoid this plunge, we can regain control of the production of the world's gold and silver industry and still make more profits. In addition, it is also possible to cash out some stocks at a high price and use the money to invest in standard energy companies. Standard Energy must accelerate the development of the U.S. natural gas market and the South American oil market in recent years, and can also accelerate the construction of power plants and investment in large-scale power systems.

"OK, I really understand what you mean!"

Fister Delano couldn't help showing a sneer that seemed very crafty, and his heart became particularly cold. This is really a good opportunity to bargain.

As long as this battle is fought well, from now on, there will be four giant companies under the flag of the rich in the Americas, including International, U.S. Ten Thousand Flags, British and American Standard, and Bank of America.

Compared with these four major companies, its other San Francisco Bay Investment Company, American Newspaper News Company, Wells Fargo, Bank of New York, National Bank of Mexico... are all very small-scale.

At this moment, Fist Delano is particularly happy. Although he has only 4% of the shares and 11% of the chief senior partners in the rich countries of the Americas, which is completely incomparable to Hu Chuyuan, who owns 74% of the shares, it is enough.

If it goes on like this, 4% of the shares can also be worth 100 million US dollars.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help saying to Hu Chuyuan, "So, what should I do about the problem of OPPLE?"

Hu Chuyuan understood the meaning of Fister Delano. The International General Group under the American Rich Flag officially began to develop into Europe, which is bound to conflict with the interests of the OPPLE Group.

In fact, as the share of the two major groups in the domestic market has reached a limit one after another, both sides are increasing sales in the international market. Even if the ICP does not enter Europe, the conflict between the two sides is increasing.

The structure of IATA Group is almost exactly the same as that of OPPLE, and Wanqi Group and BASF Group are roughly the same. In addition, the companies of rich countries in Asia are also developing rapidly.

In the future, the competition between the three major manufacturing countries of the United States, Germany and China in the international market will be further heated, and the advantageous industries of the three almost overlap, and they all belong to Hu Chuyuan's holding and shareholding industries.

As a capitalist, this is really a happy anguish!

From the perspective of absorbing and utilizing technical talents from various countries and occupying the markets of various countries, Hu Chuyuan will certainly continue to maintain a leading position in the three major markets...

Thinking carefully in his mind and considering the long-term development of the entire capital system, he realized that it was necessary to integrate the three systems.

It still takes a long time to think about what to do. Hu Chuyuan did not immediately give Fister Delano a clear answer, but just let him do what he wanted to do. In the general direction, he did not think that Britain would be a manufacturing investment center.

The problem in the UK is obvious. The average wage of workers is too high due to the development of the British financial industry and business.

Relatively speaking, he is more optimistic about the development potential of Spain and Portugal. To put it simply, if he invests a dollar here, it can become ten dollars and 100 million dollars in ten years. Perhaps it can become a billion dollars in four or five years.

Such a good business, of course to do it.

At the same time, it should also be noted that Portugal and Spain are still silver-based countries. In recent years, with the rise of silver prices, the economic situation has improved, but as long as silver prices fall sharply, the economy of the Iberian Peninsula will collapse in an instant.

For foreign investors like Hu Chuyuan, economic collapse is always a good thing.

and Fister Delano kept talking about the early morning, and Hu Chuyuan sent him to rest.

When he returned to the study, Hu Chuyuan did not rest immediately, but looked at Hu Weizhong, who had been listening to the discussion, and asked gently, "What did you hear?"

Hu Weizhong replied with a sigh: "A lot."

Hu Chuyuan intended to cultivate him and asked, "What about the details?"

Hu Weizhong frowned and said, "Dad, I can't help but think you are too cruel... Others cooperate with you because they trust you, but your goal is to pass on the risk of financial crisis to them, and finally buy the gold mine they hold at a low price... This is really difficult. It's over!"

Hu Chuyuan sat in a chair in silence and rested with his eyes closed. After a long time, he suddenly replied, "This is the profit-seeking surname of capital. Human beings rely on this power to keep moving forward. If there is no such profit-seeking surname, human beings will stop.

After a pause, he opened his eyes again, stared at Hu Weizhong silently, and said, "If one day... you want to sit in the position where Dad is sitting now, you have to learn such skills first. You don't have to use it, but you have to know how to prevent it. Capital is ruthless. It is just constantly pursuing more profits. If you want to sit firmly in this position, you have to learn to use those ruthless capital to better serve the interests of this country and all its citizens, just like using a sharp knife. It is also ruthless, but as long as you master it well. You can defeat all your opponents and make your competitors dare not be your enemy.

Hu Weizhong listened to this and thought about it carefully in his heart.

In the past, he saw only an open-headed and happy father. When he went to the United States, he really understood what his father meant... His father was the world's largest capitalist, controlling the economic lifeline of the United States and China.

Now, he finds more clearly how his father became the world's largest capitalist, because in the field of capital, his father is the most ruthless and cruel person in the world.

With just one cent, his father can defeat a company with a market value of tens of millions of dollars and establish a company with a market value of tens of millions of dollars.

This is his father.

If you can't do it, then this is the gap between you and him!
