Chapter 704: People From China

The New Year's bell had just ended when Li Zitao heard good news.

The Federal Ordnance Commission approved their deal, and the products Skunk had been piling up in warehouses were finally ready for delivery.

But the existing product is not enough to fill the order, this time it is a big deal.

P-38, Lightning, the British ordered 203, the most wealthy.

The rest include 20 from France, 35 from Poland, 67 from Spain, 33 from the Netherlands, 15 from Belgium, and 43 from the Czech Republic, with a total value of about 54.62 million.

S-101, a heavy transport aircraft, countries are not so generous this time.

The British side purchased 13 planes, France 2 planes, Poland 2 planes, Spain 7 planes, Netherlands 5 planes, Belgium 20 planes, and Czech Republic 2 planes, with a total value of 22.79 million.

The one who disappointed Li Zitao the most was the Frenchman. Why did the pharaoh, who was originally a wealthy and romantic man, suddenly become a slut, and he was not able to buy things at all.

Obviously, he was very stingy with the skunk's products, but he was terribly stingy when he finally made a move.

From this we can see how corrupt the French economy is. In World War I, France seemed to be a victorious country, but because most of the wars took place in its territory, it caused irreparable losses to its economy.

The Great Depression in 1929 was even worse. It can be said that the French economy has not yet returned to the level before the war in 13 years.

Because of this, after seeing the resurgence of Germany, the French guy was so scared that he was about to pee his pants. He thought every day that if war broke out, how to rely on the Maginot Line to block the offensive of the Germans and let them eat ashes outside .

The remaining orders include the new Hellcat, D-12, SH-1a and SH-1b helicopter models. The total value of all orders adds up to more than 93.2 million US dollars.

This is an order that makes everyone jealous, and Li Zitao is very satisfied with this New Year's gift.

Just the thought of the high export tax made his heart tremble faintly.

The IRS, a stinky and shameless bitch, is about to take away about 30 million dollars if you move your mouth. It is simply black-hearted shit.

…………

Just when Li Zitao was yelling at the IRS for its evil intentions, a group of special passengers came to New York Harbor, and they came from Huaguo Mingzhu.

Chen Guang, general manager of Pearl Commercial Savings Bank, Guo Wen, director of Industrial International Trade Bureau, and Gu Bing, manager of Mingzhu Zhongfu Bank, represented the Xijing government to discuss currency issues with the Minister of Finance.

The international silver price continued to fall, making it impossible for the Xijing government to join the British Pound Group as originally planned, and the United Kingdom was unwilling to buy silver dollars to provide them with foreign exchange to build a monetary base, which meant that the talks between the two sides collapsed.

"It seems that the economy in North America has recovered well, and the people have smiles on their faces, and they are no longer lifeless and numb as they saw last time." Chen Guang came down from the deck and said, looking at the smile on Lao Mei's face.

"Yes, it is said that the current president is very capable, and North America is implementing isolationism, far away from the chaos in Europe. I believe that he will soon be freed from the economic quagmire."

Gu Bing said enviously, the scene in front of him reminded him of the situation in the country, and now it is really a mess, so bad that it makes people scratch their heads.

"You two, we have a heavy responsibility this time. The domestic economy is not allowed to drag on any longer. Let's get in the car first!" Guo Wen smiled bitterly and walked to the car that came to pick them up. The government had already arranged for them before coming. Stay in a good car.

When they got into the car, the expressions of the three of them were very heavy, as Guo Wen said, the domestic economic situation cannot be dragged on any longer.

Before the Washington government ordered to stop the purchase of silver, the Xijing government had already ordered that no private reselling of silver was allowed, but the amount of silver smuggled by the people every month was as high as tens of millions.

Those well-known foreign firms entrenched in Mingzhu all participated in it, transporting silver to London to resell it to earn the difference and make huge profits.

After reaching an agreement with the United Kingdom, seeing that the currency reform was almost at the door, a small move by Washington made all efforts come to naught.

This also made the Xijing government clearly realize that,

The gap between Great Britain and America.

The so-called established powers are being overtaken by up-and-coming stars, and they are far behind.

In terms of economy alone, the United States, which caused the financial crisis, recovered faster than any other country.

Without the support of the United Kingdom and its own inability to fund the issuance of Chinese currency, they can only place their hopes on the United States.

France's economy is not much better than that of China, and it can't manage it by itself, let alone intervene in the currency economy of other countries. Germany is immersed in development, and all its economies are transferred to the military, and it has no interest in managing China's mess.

After thinking about it, the United States seems to be their only and only remaining choice.

"Should we go directly to Washington, or?" Chen Guang, who was looking out the window while the vehicle was driving, suddenly asked.

"What, brother Chen?" Guo Wen smiled, wanting to break the dull atmosphere in the car, Gu Bing also turned his gaze to him.

"It didn't exist originally, but when I came here, I suddenly thought of someone..." Chen Guang looked at the two of them: "We have a compatriot here who is very famous!"

"Charlie Lee." Guo Wen and Gu Bing said in unison.

In fact, on the way here, they mentioned this name many times, because he is so famous.

The super rich in the United States, according to the information they have received, their power in the United States is deeply rooted, and their network of relationships spreads across both political and business circles.

Even the current president is his friend, and the Rockefeller, Mellon, Rothschild, and Astor families are his partners.

How can such thunderous names not attract people's attention?

"Why don't we go to pay a visit?" Gu Bing said a little emotionally.

"I think it is feasible. Although there is no definite data, according to outside estimates, he is worth at least several billion dollars. If we can get his help, we can get rid of everyone's constraints." Chen Guang's eyes lit up nodded.

"I think the two of you are a little too optimistic." Guo Wen shook his head, looked at the two of them and said, "According to the information I got, our compatriot keeps politics at arm's length, to the point of avoiding him. Support...difficult."

"Then let's not talk about politics, borrowing, national debt, or replacing the head office with assets?" Chen Guangyue said more and more excitedly.

Thinking of the funds in the hands of this Charlie Lee, if he can be persuaded to transfer part of the foreign exchange to the country, then there will be no obstacles to the issuance of legal currency.

When the domestic economy stabilizes, the foreign exchange can be gradually offset and repaid with legal currency. No one will suffer!

"Then give it a try!" Seeing the confident look of their companion, the other two were also a little moved.

If it is really feasible, then the final problem will be solved, and the fiat currency can also avoid being tied up by other currencies, which is great.

Even if they are rejected, they have nothing to lose, but they just delay some time and make a trip in vain, which is regarded as a visit to the local cultural scenery.
