Chapter 304 Madam’s Family Banquet and Lao Shi’s Actions
New York.
Smith's office on the third floor of the Nasdaq podium.
Old Smith carefully prepared a sumptuous lunch for his wife who had returned from the East after recovering from a serious illness.
It's just that the two of them are old and can't eat too much. After a brief taste, they tasted S.Y's new fruit puree.
The end.
The lady wiped her mouth and said, "That little guy was in the ward and talked to me a lot."
Old Smith put down his spoon and listened carefully.
He did not think that his wife was banned by Yu Sanyuan.
Even if travel is restricted, it is still a way to exchange information privately.
Therefore, the conversation between the other party and his wife may involve future cooperation.
"He talked to me about Jewish capital in North America and Jewish capital in Europe, and expressed his personal views on the two major consortiums. He was especially envious of our love story."
Old Smith looked surprised, "He envy us?"
"Shouldn't it?"
Madam's admiration for Yu Yang was very useful.
Because the men and women of the 'Jacob Astor' family do belong to a relatively unique group of conservative loyalists in North America, which is relatively open about gender.
Just like the famous ‘Titanic’ movie.
Do you really think that the heroine Rose is a beautiful and loyal noble lady?
No, she was a social butterfly over fifty years old. Even when she boarded the Titanic, there were still five men around her.
And the heart of the ocean and Jack giving up the lifeboat position are also fictional.
The real story is that after the cruise ship sank, Astor IV, the richest man in the world, sent his wife and children aboard the lifeboat with limited space, and froze to death in the sea.
So Astor VI survived, and there was Astor VII, and she, Mrs. Smith.
Perhaps the ancestors' style affects the family tradition, or perhaps older genes affect the behavior of future generations. The men and women of the Astor family all have very romantic love stories and happy families.
Just like her and old Smith.
Therefore, Madam's envy for Yu Yang is not only useful, but also a little proud.
Old Smith coughed and asked, "Did you talk about anything special?"
"I asked about the Jewish royal family, the Schiff family (Walton's family), the Oppenheimer family, etc., and later I also talked about your grandfather's friend, Edward Henry Harriman."
Old Smith picked up the red wine glass and thought quickly.
His grandfather’s generation is already very far away from now.
Moreover, it was at a stage when Jewish capital was supporting US capital and US capital was breaking up with Jewish capital. The battle was extremely complicated and fierce.
But if we talk about Harriman, it must involve the Astor family (former railroad tycoon), James Hill (railroad tycoon), Roosevelt (General Manager of North America), J.P. Morgan (railroad trust), Rockefeller (oil tycoon, controlled Northern Railway) and many other factors.
The above figures are the actual controllers of the current railway systems across North America.
"Railway... Could it be that Yu Sanyuan took the opportunity to test us to see if we can get involved in the North American railway industry?"
"His rail transportation is indeed very good, but the railway system in North America is as scattered as sand. If Sanyuan Agriculture uses the help of the Astor family, old Morgan and you to obtain the operating rights of the Pacific Railway and the Atlantic Railway, , it’s not difficult, but the difficulty is that he is not an American and has no operating qualifications.”
Old Smith nodded.
If Yu Yang wants to intervene in North American railways, the initiative lies in his own hands. Don't worry about these issues now and wait until the other party comes to visit.
"What else were we talking about?"
"The history and current situation of the Walton family."
In Old Smith's opinion, Old Walton had no ability.
The capable ones are his grandfather, Jacob Schiff, and his father, Jacob Walton.
The reason why Walton Sr. quickly took control of the Walton family after his father was hit by four missiles was entirely because the Walton family is the steward of the Rothschild family consortium.
In other words, Old Walton is the ‘butler’ heir recognized by the Rothschild family.
Therefore, after he was imprisoned, his younger brother, Jason Walton, and his five children became "temporary stewards" with the authorization of the Rothschild family, and successfully controlled the Walton family's property. And acquired the North American Shili Mall.
In this way, the Walton family's industry was not affected at all after the elder Walton was imprisoned.
It can also be seen from this that in the game of big capital, no one is irreplaceable except the people who play chess.
Of course, no chess piece wants to have its fate manipulated, and must have many trump cards secretly prepared.
This is true for Walton Sr., this is true for the Smith family, and so is the Sr. Boo family.
Old Smith thought for a while and came up with the whole story of Old Walton being imprisoned in Tai City Prison.
for a long time.
"Madam, I suspect that Yu Sanyuan has been eyeing the Walton family a long time ago.
He first established Dongcheng Wal-Mart in the capital, and then operated it secretly. He waited until Sanyuan Agriculture came into contact with American capital before killing Jacob Walton.
You know, four missiles hit Jacob Walton's business jet. One was ours, one was Lao Bu's, one was Lao Morgan's, and the last one was an improved high-precision, high-reference The 'Javelin' missile mounted on the MiG-25 is most likely Yu Sanyuan's.
So many things would make sense.
Yu Sanyuan promoted the incompetent old Walton to take over, and then caused the counterfeiting incidents of Dongcheng Wal-Mart, RT-Mart, and Metro, attracting old Walton to visit Dongfang and taking the opportunity to seize them.
At this time, Sanyuan Agriculture has a customer who can win the North American Shili Mall.
Because Old Walton is timid, afraid of death, hypocritical, selfish, and does not have the noble consciousness of sacrificing himself for his family. Under Yu Sanyuan's coercion, he will inevitably acquire the North American Shili Mall.
Based on this, Yu Sanyuan tried every means to make profits for us and Lao Bu, and decided on the North American Shili Mall project, and then boldly invested in the North American Shili Mall project.
At the same time, the European Shili Mall project was launched, and the North American Shili Mall was short-lived and began to decline.
All this time, I have never been able to figure out why Yu Sanyuan wanted to destroy the North American Shili Mall and transfer it to the Walton family. Now after a series of events, it is basically certain that he wanted the Walton family to take over the European Shili Mall. . ”
The lady was stunned for a moment, then blinked, "After the Walton family got the North American Ten Mile Mall, they suffered successive losses. It is impossible to get the European Ten Mile Mall again."
"But Yu Sanyuan can coerce Old Walton and replace the European Shili Mall with the North American Shili Mall."
"Why?"
"Because the goods in North American Shili Mall are sold out, Yu Sanyuan needs to take it back to replenish the goods."
"···"
"Madam, Sanyuan Agricultural Dumping is not allowed in North America, but Yu Sanyuan uses Shili Mall as a warehouse and transfers hundreds of them together. Can't bulk commodity transactions be realized?"
The lady understood and exclaimed: "He is always so smart."
"Shouldn't you scold him?"
"Why?"
Old Smith took a deep breath, lit his pipe, and stopped talking.
The lady smiled slightly and said, "Sir, the real market and the financial market are two different things. You always hope that your plan will be effective immediately after it is implemented, but the real market needs reaction time, which may be half a year, or one or two years.
Just like Yu Sanyuan, why can he win every time?
Because many of his plans were deployed two or three years ago. Today, after months and months of preparation, they suddenly burst out with energy that no one can stop. So we always lose.
Of course, we also made less money.
As for the Walton family, it is best for us not to interfere, otherwise it will be like helping Yu Sanyuan. ”
"Madam, if we don't intervene and Yu Sanyuan achieves secondary dumping, the third-series products will become more and more famous in North America. By then, it will be difficult for us to regain the North American market that belongs to us."
"My dear sir, we have just signed a market share transfer agreement with Sanyuan Agriculture, and the industries invested in the East are also developing rapidly. Are you planning to interfere with Sanyuan Agriculture's business in North America and unilaterally breach the contract? I find it difficult to Imagine what Yu Sanyuan will do.”
"No, we don't break the contract, we just need to kill old Walton and destroy the cooperation between the two parties."
It was the first time that the wife saw her husband showing his domineering side. After being slightly stunned, she asked, "How sure are you?"
"If Old Walton was flying on a business jet, it could be shot down 100% of the time."
At this time.
The head of the Smith family's think tank called.
"Mr. Smith, just now, Yu Sanyuan reached a settlement agreement with Old Walton. Old Walton was willing to exchange the North American Shili Mall, plus 200 tons of gold and 6.5 billion U.S. dollars, for the European Shili Mall. Yu Sanyuan promised to Old Walton was safely sent to the Walton family’s secret location in North America.”
After listening to this, Old Smith verified his guess and became more determined to bring Old Walton down. "Focus on Old Walton's travel methods."
"Yes, sir."
···
other side.
After reviewing the recent events in the East, Old Bu made the same decision as Old Smith.
Without it, Yu Sanyuan can pay taxes and sell things in North America, but he must not be allowed to engage in dumping, otherwise the manufacturing industry will usher in a Great Depression.
···
Thai City Prison.
After Yu Yang signed the settlement agreement, he did not send Old Walton away immediately.
Because if top capital wants to kill someone, it will be difficult for you to avoid it.
Therefore, one must wait for the opportunity.
But this matter obviously cannot be delayed.
Otherwise, his younger brother and his children will have more and more control over the Walton family's property, and the elder Walton will inevitably be unable to regain what belongs to him, and will not be able to implement the settlement agreement signed with his family.
"It seems that we need to find a way to get Old Bu and Old Smith to come to the East and have a face-to-face negotiation."
Yu Yang thought and walked out of Taishi Prison.
This winter has been extremely cold, with temperatures reaching minus 16°C.
So much so that the water surface of the Yellow River froze, and then driven by the turbid river water, the ice surface continuously hit the bridge piers, forming pieces of ice drifting with the current. The scene was unique and spectacular.
On the north side of the embankment, a series of temporary tents, brick and tile houses, wooden houses, and abandoned containers extend eastward along the embankment, so densely packed that they can’t be seen to the end.
This is the ‘urban village’ in Shiliying Street.
They are also a group of migrant workers that Sanyuan Agriculture cannot take into account.
It is a phenomenon that is difficult to avoid in the context of ultra-rapid development.
Most of them learned about Shiliying through vegetable vendors, transportation vehicles, or through the industrial zones in the four southern provinces, and then brought their children to this place.
Some are from Bashu and Nanyun,
Some are from Xijiang and Jianfu,
Some come from Tibet and border areas,
Some also come from the Northeast and grasslands.
Since they do not belong to the collective, cannot join the collective, and cannot afford to settle down to obtain the qualifications of temporary workers, they can only gather here in the end.
Pay attention to the radio and loudspeaker every morning, hoping to find odd jobs.
Or you can rely on connections to find temporary workers for help, and receive odd jobs through the other party's employee card.
Or make some handicrafts, such as weaving cloth, making insoles, making steamers, etc., and bring them to the main road of Shiliying for sale.
Life must be difficult. It can even be said that the north side of the dike and the south side of the dike are completely two worlds.
You can't even light the stove on the north side, but the heating on the south side makes your mouth dry.
Yu Yang also felt pity and absorbed some people into Shili Camp, but the result was that it has evolved to the point where he can't control it at all.
Otherwise?
Have a big meal together?
I'm afraid it won't attract more people.
Therefore, we should not have felt pity in the first place and should have starved them away.
But the human heart is made of flesh...
Yu Yang walked along the pontoon bridge to the north side of the embankment.
There are many security banners hanging in the messy buildings.
There are also some areas enclosed by iron fences with the words ‘Shiliying Subdistrict Nursery – Branch School’ hanging on them.
Some take care of children aged 1 to 2 years old free of charge.
Some take care of children aged 3 to 4 free of charge.
Some are responsible for educating 5 to 6-year-olds for free.
Older children must go to school.
Therefore, there are also many temporary primary schools established in Fei City, which is directly under the jurisdiction of Tai City.
It’s winter vacation, but primary school is still in session.
The sound of reading, singing, lecturing, and running in physical education class...
Yu Yang walked into one of the primary schools, came to the window of the small steel structure factory, and looked sideways inside.
In the classroom, half-grown men wearing cotton-padded jackets and trousers sat upright on self-made low stools, with their hands pressed on the long, low table for public welfare, and listened carefully.
This should be a natural course, or 'social science' that follows the factory education system and is used to improve cognition.
The content is that Pangu created the sky and Nuwa created humans.
But it is different from what Yu Yang learned. It also involves many overseas legends, such as God creating humans from clay, Greek mythology creating humans from clay, and Prometheus creating humans from clay...
So here comes the problem.
A long time ago, humans around the world could barely communicate, let alone pass on information.
Why are there stories about ‘making people out of clay’ circulating in so many places?
And under different cultural backgrounds, legends from various places are very similar?
This is a question with no answer.
Just because of divergent thinking, improve imagination, and then improve cognition by understanding relevant cultural characteristics.
Yu Yang listened for a while, then turned and left.
Chang Fu suddenly said: "Master, I know the answer."
"Okay, don't play around with knowledge. It's just that 80% of the mother planet was water at that time. People lived on land and worshiped the earth."
"Master, have you ever bathed or rubbed mud?"
"Definitely."
"In ancient times, there were no tools. People just crawled and rolled in the soil. Every time they took a bath, they would wash out mud and rub out mud. Human beings at that time did not have much knowledge. If it goes on for a long time, they will think that they are made of mud. So in different cultural backgrounds, there are the same legends. ”
"???"
