10 things that businessmen need to understand
But the Americans after independence will never allow European power to make a comeback.
Having won the Mexican War, the Americans have come to see all of Latin America as their backyard.
They simply did not want Britain and France to be involved in this lifeblood business connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
So they got into trouble with the British first.
Then they were driven out at the right time (the Boer War) with certain conditions.
And when the French canal company dug the canal, the Americans began to make trouble again.
For example, at that time, there was a railroad company parallel to the Panama Canal, which belonged to the United States, and after the French bought the company, those American employees worked desperately to break it, so that the operation of the railroad was completely interrupted.
Immediately after that, the United States reported the fact that the French had embezzled in the project.
At this time, the head of the French project, who had successfully dug the Suez Canal, was crippled here, and everyone was sent to court.
One more thing to say here.
That is, at this moment, Panama was still only a province of the ambitious Federation of Gran Colombia.
The so-called side of the couch does not allow others to snore.
If there is a power, even if it is inferior, in Latin America, when the time comes, there will be Canada in the north and rivals in the south, and the United States will become a sandwich biscuit.
So the Americans, who ran away from Britain and France, made another move.
They first used the pretext of digging the Nicaragua Canal, which can be described as a vicious trick.
The Colombian side had to ask them instead.
The Americans took advantage of this to come up with various clauses, and the Federation of Gran Columbia at that time still had ambitions, and they absolutely refused to sign these agreements.
Now it is difficult for the Americans to ride a tiger.
In the end, they simply resorted to a trick.
That is simply independent Panama.
This was the approximate process by which the Americans obtained the right to dig and operate the Panama Canal, and in this process, Britain and France, who had suffered a loss, were naturally unhappy.
So they united with Colombia, which had lost Panama, and resorted to all sorts of extraneous tricks for the excavation of the canal...
Under these circumstances, the United States does not believe that the direct use of military forces is the appropriate approach.
They must have a buffer, otherwise it will not be conducive to their future "rule" over Panama.
So PSG just came into the field of vision of the Military Council.
That's why James came to San Francisco.
Unconsciously, Han Huaiyi has been able to involve matters at the level of national interests of the United States.
To James' surprise, he offered the opportunity, and Han Huaiyi took the initiative to propose an immigration plan.
He set up a model of Chinese vs. Panamanians, and let the United States do the arbitration.
This is exactly what the Americans are asking for now.
In addition, Han Huaiyi also did something that James didn't expect.
Unwittingly, this cargo occupies the state of ParΓ‘, where the safety of French Guinaa can be threatened.
In this way, Han Huaiyi relied on the safety of French Guiana, and he could make sure that the French would not cause any more chaos.
In particular, Han Huaiyi also put forward the idea of using troops in Brazil to support the pro-US regime.
So James talked to him so far, and he was completely satisfied.
He finally said, "I will do my best, Charlie, I personally think that as long as you do what you express, then your request is deserved." β
My friend said so, and Han Huaiyi should be grateful.
But business is business.
Han Huaiyi emphasized, "James, I have to trouble you to tell the others. β
"What?"
"I know very well that my role and my real mission is to make Latin America America's backyard, and it doesn't matter how dirty and messy that backyard is. If he wants to be neat and clean, his family is rich, but it is not good for the United States, isn't it? β
James smiled dumbly: "You really should run for president." β
Of course, this is just a joke, in a white society like the United States, Chinese people don't want to be national leaders even after a hundred years.
After the two sides negotiated the conditions and the bottom line of behavior, the fish and the girls had already cooked the meal.
Han Huaiyi invited James to take a seat and raised his glass, "Mr. James, I wish us well!" β
James raised his glass.
Bite!
Under the simple postmodernist chandelier, two glasses of red wine exude a fresh fragrance.
A casual conversation between the two men actually finalized a major event in the Far South and determined the situation in Latin America for decades to come.
That's the magic of power and money.
Because the world always revolves around a few.
After the meal, although the autumn night was slightly cold, the moonlight today was beautiful.
Han Huaiyi invited James to go for a walk on the private beach under the cliff.
"You have to pay a lot, it's like a war with Colombia."
"This is the strategy of the United States, and I am just a knife that takes the money. I know very well that we think well and the results will be wonderful, but there will be bloodshed and sacrifice in the process. β
"You tell me the truth, are you going to go back when the time is right to form a Chinese army?"
"No, I'll let them go back when China is in trouble, I won't, I'm not interested in politics."
"But you're a politician, and then a businessman."
Han Huaiyi laughed when he heard this, "I am a pilot instructor, the founder of the Mobile Armored Force, the pioneer of the New Rome business, the founder of a supermarket chain, the behind-the-scenes boss of a chain of cinemas, the commander-in-chief of T Valley, etc., but I only rely on politics to do business but do not touch these." β
After speaking, he looked back at James and said seriously, "But businessmen can't be ignorant of politics, but it is precisely because of understanding that I am so determined not to touch these things." β
"In time, you will be greater than Rockefeller."
"No, he's a real giant, and he's been beating obstacles along the way, but I'm a lucky boy, that's all." Han Huaiyi said solemnly.
The moonlight shone on his temperamental face.
In front of him were 10,000 silver scales reflected in the dark sea.
These 10,000 points of light turned into stars in his eyes.
With James's many readers, I can't help but think to myself, this is really the son of God.
Three days later, James returned to Washington, while Han Huaiyi continued to turn the others around, then ate and slept to beat his son, and ate and drank and slept with fish.
He lived such a laid-back life.
The distant Shanghai Tang caused earth-shattering waves because of one of his orders.
With the Merlot distribution executive order and the newspaper publishing the detailed treatment of New Rome recruitment, countless people poured into the ten registration points set up in Zhabei.
Who wouldn't dare not care about Han Huaiyi's affairs?
Zhang Renkui personally sat in charge and carefully selected people for Han Huaiyi according to the most stringent recruitment model of the Qing court.
Characters from all walks of life, seniors such as Yan Jiuling, rising stars such as Du Yuesheng and Wan Molin also participated in it with all their hearts.
Even Bai Qi's guy brought a group of foreign langzhong to help with a physical examination or something.
