New York is the last stop of Wang Hengyue's visit to the United States.
Unlike the visits to San Francisco and Washington, the visit to New York was not a fanfare and was even somewhat quiet.
In the United States, Wang Hengyue has accumulated enough fame and prestige. For him, his visit to New York is just to solve some minor problems and sign a few business contracts.
However, New York City Mayor Douglas Alvin Chandler did not think so. In his view, the visit of the President of the Republic of China, who has become famous in the United States, to New York was an honor for the entire city.
In the New York City Hall, Chandler held a grand welcome ceremony. The mayor of New York personally delivered a speech, expressing deep gratitude for the visit of the President of the Republic of China and full of expectations for the cooperation between New York and China.
Afterwards, Chandler invited Wang Hengyue to give a speech.
During the speech, Wang Hengyue met the U.S. Consul General in Guangzhou, who returned to the United States earlier than Wang Hengyue to report on his duties. This American, who had given Wang Hengyue great help, was whispering something with a few people around him.
Wang Hengyue pretended not to see it, but continued his speech, which aroused bursts of applause in the city hall.
The wonderful speech of about twenty minutes made New Yorkers firmly remember this powerful man from the East!
Laughter and applause continued in the city hall. Wang Hengyue stepped down from the podium and, under the leadership of Mayor Chandler, met with New York's business and political elites one by one.
This meeting lasted for about half an hour, and then Wang Hengyue's eyes fell on a corner of the city hall.
Stephen and his companions were looking at themselves with smiles.
Wang Hengyue walked over slowly and shook hands with Stewang politely. Stewang pointed to the people beside him and said: "Mr. President, it is a pleasure to see you here. Please allow me to introduce to you, Rothschild."
His two illustrious descendants, Charles Rothschild and his cousin, Anthony Rothschild."
Sure enough, Wang Hengyue sighed softly in his heart, this is the interest group that Stewang represents: the Rothschild family!
In his own time, Wang Hengyue had heard countless legendary stories about this family, and heard this sentence: "The Democratic Party belongs to the Morgan family. The Republican Party belongs to the Rockefeller family, and both Rockefeller and Morgan once belonged to the Rothschild family."
Childe’s!”
Wang Hengyue has heard too many legendary stories about this family.
Perhaps this family was once very glorious and had a very strong influence in the business and political circles, but Wang Hengyue never thought that this family was as alarmist as the rumors said.
"Thank you for the help you have given me." Wang Hengyue said politely and courteously: "I think all this was completed through the assistance of the Rothschild family and the 'Beijing Syndicate' organization in London, right?"
Stephen, Charles and Anthony looked a little surprised.
Yes, after the Rothschild family joined the "Beijing Syndicate" organization, the family, which has had many years of trade relations with China, quickly increased its investment in China.
However, it is indeed a bit surprising that the president of the Republic of China can speak clearly.
"Mr. President, in order to welcome you and congratulate us for our previous happy cooperation, we would like to hold a dinner party attended by only a few of us tomorrow. We hope that Mr. President can appreciate it." Charles settled down.
Wang Hengyue smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will definitely attend on time."
"I won't interrupt Mr. Mayor's welcome to you."
After shaking hands politely, Stephen, Charles and Anthony left here quietly.
"Mr. President, do you think the Rothschilds are interesting?" A voice came from behind: "But their influence is decreasing."
"Yes." Wang Hengyue turned around with a smile and said with a smile: "As for the cooperation to jointly acquire Sichuan American Steel Company, I think we should be able to start soon!"
The leader of the American Morgan syndicate: John Pierpont Morgan!
Morgan spread his hands: "Negotiating with you is really the most painful thing. I don't want to be your bidding rival. Therefore, I have to choose to cooperate with you. Jointly acquiring Sichuan Steel Company is just the beginning. For Carrington Trust
I hope that the acquisition of the company can start as soon as possible. I know that old Rockefeller is also cooperating with you. It seems that I have to order my subordinates to speed up the pace and urge them with a whip!"
"How to make money is the first priority in my opinion." Wang Hengyue said with a smile; "I don't care about the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, or the Morgan family, the Rockefeller family, or the recent Rothschild family. Which party can do it for me?"
If it brings profits, I will choose which party to cooperate with.”
"An honest person." Morgan seemed very satisfied with what he said: "This makes me maintain full respect for you. There is no hypocritical and polite words from you. In fact, I or Old Rockefeller have the same knowledge on how to obtain greater success.
The return of benefits is full of interest, and no one will refuse the benefits, no one."
Wang Hengyue asked his secretary to bring a box of cigars: "This is a gift. I hope this is not a bribe."
Morgan laughed happily "Haha": "If it is a bribe, I should give you a bribe. In your plan to visit New York, there is an arrangement to visit the Rockefeller headquarters. I hope you will add a visit to the Morgan headquarters."
"If time permits, I will." Wang Hengyue nodded: "But what I value more is our future cooperation prospects."
Morgan found that he liked to admire the Chinese president more and more.
When acquiring "George Steel Company", John Pierpont Morgan and his steel found a "spoiler" and a strong competitor: J. Stanley Company.
God knows where this company came from, but they proposed more favorable conditions and a more detailed development plan than steel, which had to make the once invincible John Pierpont Morgan take it seriously.
Morgan began to have tentative contacts with J. Stanley & Co., but he soon discovered that the company was also interested in joining the Morgan Alliance.
Now things become clear.
The two parties began negotiations, and the negotiation process went extremely smoothly. J. Stanley Company successfully joined the Morgan Alliance and began to join forces with Steel to acquire "George Steel Company."
J.. Stanley Company, which has strong financial strength, once made Morgan full of curiosity, but he gradually learned all about Stanley Company: this is a company belonging to Wang Hengyue, the President of the Republic of China!
Morgan had heard some rumors before that the Chinese president had similar investment companies around the world and obtained a steady stream of profits from them. What he didn't expect was that he would encounter them in person.
The person in charge of Stanley Company did not shy away from this, but admitted it and invited John Pierpont Morgan to have a frank meeting with the Chinese president when he visited the United States.
Morgan accepted the invitation.
The meeting with the Chinese President was very pleasant. He is willing to cooperate more closely with the Morgan Alliance, and at the same time he does not shy away from his plans to cooperate with the Rockefeller family.
Morgan didn't care about that.
Who you cooperate with is not the key, the key is what your Morgan consortium can get from it, and obviously this is what makes Morgan happy the most during the negotiations with the Chinese President.
At the same time, not only in the United States, but also in China, comprehensive cooperation between the Morgan Consortium and the Chinese government is under negotiation.
In the huge Chinese market, the influence of the Morgan consortium is obviously not as good as that of its competitors, but with the background of the Chinese government, the prospects are undoubtedly much broader.
That is a huge and exciting market!
"I have decided to go to China at the end of this year in person and said seriously: "I will personally inspect China and personally decide the size of the investment and the future development focus of the Morgan Group. I hope that I can still be received by the president by then."
"Yes, you will receive my warmest reception."
Wang Hengyue's answer was very affirmative: "China will play an increasingly important role in the United States. Similarly, we hope that the Morgan Alliance will also play a more and more important role in China. This is important to both parties."
While they were discussing there, New York Mayor Chandler came over and said, "Oh my God, what are the two presidents discussing?"
The words of Chandler, the president of the Republic of China and the "president" of the American financial community, made both Wang Hengyue and Morgan laugh.
"Well, New York is a city worthy of investment and cooperation." Chandler's words were quite conceited: "San Francisco or Washington, or any other city in the United States, is not as influential as New York. This place belongs to financiers.
Heaven, if you don't leave your last contract in New York, dear Mr. President, I will never let you leave New York, otherwise the financiers in New York will strangle me to death."
"For your safety, it seems I can only leave my contract in New York."
Wang Hengyue's words made Chandler and Morgan laugh "haha". This is a humorous and interesting president. It is really a pleasure to work with him.
However, in Wang Hengyue's view, the purpose of cooperating with these businessmen in the United States is not just to make money. The influence of these consortiums in the United States is extremely huge.
As long as we have them in our hands, to a certain extent, we have the United States in our hands!
As for the future prospects? What will be the relationship with the United States in the future? That is not something to worry about now!!
