Chapter 641 Opinions on Japan

Sleepless alone in the room, Li Zitao looked weak when he woke up in the morning.

"You two..." Seeing his wife and son in the restaurant, all of them were flushed, and they seemed to have slept soundly last night.

"Ah..." Rubbing his head, Li Zitao admitted defeat, resting his head on the table and looking towards the other side, said, "Tell me, how can I return my wife?"

"Pfft." Mary couldn't hold back, and when she saw his 'angry' expression, she quickly turned her head away. The frequency of shrugging her shoulders represented how hard she had endured.

"Gift... I want a gift." Aiden said excitedly.

"Money...money." Mason was very calm, as if there were ￥￥ symbols rolling in his bright eyes.

"Understood, I'll bring it back tonight. Remember to return my wife to me." After reaching an agreement with the two unofficial rivals, Li Zitao went out with a smile on his lips.

...

...

60 Wall Street, Wells Fargo headquarters.

The meeting room was full of people, including the Rockefeller family David Rockefeller and the Lawrence Rockefeller brothers, who represented Manhattan Chase and their own family respectively.

Dick J. Mellon of the Mellon family who became the shareholder instead of JP Morgan.

Jonathan, senior partner, Strantis McCormick, representing First Bank of Chicago, and Juliana, representing the Rothschild branch.

Now Li Zitao has regained control of Li's Holding Bank, and with the support of Juliana, the combined shares of the two are 50.8%.

But this woman is going crazy and killing her, and Li Zitao is not sure if he will always be on his side, after all, it is always faster for a woman to turn her face than to turn a book.

Walking into the meeting room and seeing that everyone was present, Li Zitao found a random place to sit down, and signaled to Jonathan above him to start.

"Welcome all shareholders to attend this meeting. Regarding this investment in Japan, the specific profits and details are in the report before you.

When you leave, you can take it back and read it slowly. The first thing we have to decide now is... what should we do with the Japanese debt in the hands of rich countries? "

This time, due to the issue of Chrysler's bond issuance, the specific actions related to "investing" in Japan were handled by the think tank and Jonathan.

In fact, it is a bit too general to say that the operation is a bit too general. It is more correct to say that Goldman Sachs overcomes all obstacles in the front, and Jonathan leads the think tank to pick up the leaks behind.

This time, Goldman Sachs earned $5 million from Fuguo just for service fees. Wouldn’t it be a waste of money if there was no price?

The Japanese bonds currently held by Fukoku are divided into: Japanese government bonds of 100 million yen, Osaka government bonds of 30 million yen, and bonds issued by various industries of 68 million yen.

The exchange rate between the yen and the U.S. knife is roughly 2:1, which means that the Japanese debt in the hands of rich countries exceeds 100 million U.S. dollars.

"Most of these Japanese bonds are medium and long-term, and the risk of holding them is too high. I think we should find the right opportunity to sell them all."

Appearing at the shareholder meeting for the first time, Strantis, representing the First Bank of Chicago, spoke first, a bit like announcing his existence to everyone.

clang.

Juliana knocked on the table with a matchbox, took out a cigarette from her shoulder bag, lit it with a match in her mouth, and took a deep breath.

"After this baptism, a large number of industries in Japan are directly controlled or held by European and American companies. Will they let themselves owe money?"

Swallowing, she turned her contemptuous eyes to Strandis. She looked down on this kind of person who thought he was the protagonist when he first stepped on the stage, and he didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

Strantis frowned, and glanced at Juliana with an ugly face. The other party's target was too obvious.

"I agree with Juliana... Maybe you haven't noticed that there is a steady stream of supplies and wealth being shipped back to the mainland from the Japanese Sea."

Speaking of this, Lawrence looked across, and Li Zitao was sitting there.

However, his expression kept smiling, his eyes narrowed slightly,

It was impossible to see what he was thinking.

"Manhattan Chase took the opportunity to intervene in many Japanese companies. Our goal is to make money, not to buy it for fun." David said calmly.

He didn't directly support anyone, but the meaning in his words was very clear.

"I think it should continue to be held. Japan is the only modernized country in East Asia...War can create a lot of wealth." Dick Mellon said very blatantly.

The war, this is why they believe that Japan will not collapse, and Lawrence said earlier that "there is a steady stream of supplies on the sea," which means the same thing.

Moreover, Japan is the largest trading partner of the United States in East Asia, and a large number of domestic military industries are in the hands of the American consortium.

The impact of Japan's collapse on the United States is unpredictable, and it may even cause the newly recovered economy to collapse again.

Because of this, Roosevelt would seriously meet with him and talk to him in person, and even gave him a warning.

When Britain, France, and the United States initially treated Japan and Germany, they had to take into account their own economic status and interests.

Coupled with the high anti-war sentiment in the country, the government dare not rashly go to war no matter whether it has the ability or not.

Once the war is lost, the enemy the government has to face is no longer the outside world, but domestic protests and public opinion. If it fails, the government will collectively resign.

This is also the reason why the leaders of the three countries maintained the policy of appeasement. After Germany tore up the contract, they only talked with each other internationally, but did not take any action.

"It seems that everyone's opinion is the same... Then continue to hold it." Li Zitao also agrees to continue to hold it for a long time.

Whether it is national debt or local debt, or the bonds of other enterprises, they are all bought at the price of cabbage.

Even if they flow into the market now, they can make a small profit, but it is much worse than the future income.

It may be a good day to ask for debts when the Japanese economy recovers and the war situation expands again.

The corporate bonds in the hands of rich countries include many industries related to people's livelihood, such as food, power supply, and textile manufacturing.

If it goes bankrupt at a critical moment, and the soldiers in combat know that their families are without food, drink, or electricity, will there be a large-scale defection?

It's really interesting to think about it, and no one will come to hinder him by then, and now Li Zitao thinks that Pearl Harbor is really going to be bombed.

If it is not bombed, how can Lao Mei have an excuse to join the war.

In the previous life, there were many speculations about the Pearl Harbor incident. Some people said that the speed of information transmission between departments at all levels was too slow, and the tragic situation would be caused if it was not timely.

More people agree with another statement: the United States did it on purpose, because otherwise, the native citizens would never allow them to participate in the war.

What is the inside story, Li Zitao guesses that he will never have the chance to know in this life.

If such a thing is really a conspiracy, I am afraid that those who know it can count it with one hand.

Even the nervous old Americans will deny this kind of speculation from the bottom of their hearts, because it will not only destroy their beliefs, but also destroy the entire country.

How could such a thing be known to Li Zitao, an outsider.
