Chapter 667: A little embarrassing

"What? What are your expressions? I'm engaged in economics or something, which is a side hustle, and I'm still more engaged in leading soldiers to fight, don't try to convince me, I hate the smell of copper. Langtuanza waved his hand and said to these two elites in the business world.

How so? A breath of extreme pretense came to the face.

The little foreign girl's face is even more weird, and her pretty and fair face even begins to "puff puff".

, this is the rhythm of Sichun! Shouldn't my brother be more low-key? Liu Tuanzuo began to regret that he was too high-profile, and he could be so vertical and horizontal in the commercial field, which was not inferior to his talent on the battlefield!

"Ahem, no, boss, don't you know?" Fan Ziran looked at the tiger body and shook the domineering group, and asked with some embarrassment.

"I don't know what?" Liu Lang suddenly had a bad premonition, it seemed that something was wrong in that place.

"Sino-American Airlines has signed a contract three years ago, and has started its maiden flight four years ago, and the first route is the Shanghai-Chengdu route。。。。。。" Fan Ziran said with some difficulty.

Damn, there are airlines in this era? Who told me that even a donkey cart ride is a luxury in China at this time? Liu Lang almost didn't have a mouthful of old blood spurting out of his chest. Nima was fooled by some experts.

Indeed, Liu Lang, who came to this era, saw the devastation after the warlord melee, but also high-speed development. In fact, Liu Lang paid attention to China during the all-out war, and only stayed at the military level, and Liu Lang did not know much about China's economy during this period, or did not understand it at all.

In fact, from 1927 to 1937, China's economic development, which finally had a unified government, has always had a "golden decade" in the future. Although it was also quite controversial, the government of the Republic of China during this period did make great contributions to transportation, education, and tax reform, which was not denied even by the future republic.

But why didn't history choose a government that made such a certain contribution as the ruler of the Chinese nation? It was not so much that the Reds were too powerful, but that they were the result of their own death.

Can a political party, headed by the bureaucratic class and extremely corrupt from top to bottom, make a good life for the common people, who make up 95 percent of the population? That, obviously, is impossible.

The corruption of the Republic of China period was so unbearable that the princes and ministers of any dynasty who liked to put silver in their purses could not bear to look at it directly. How arrogant are the four major families? Other people's corruption is plucked by geese, but these families pluck all the hairs, leaving only a few hairs for the country.

The peak was a few years later after the outbreak of a full-scale war between China and Japan. Originally, the American GIs sat on the mountain and watched the war in Europe burn, and the battlefields in Asia and China became a pot of porridge, and then they were very happy to sell left and right, and make a fortune. By studying and judging the world situation, the American GIs were the most bad, and if they did not deal with them, Japan would be killed by them sooner or later.

The American GIs, who were still happy, were suddenly angry, you are sick, aren't you! If there is a disease, it will be cured. As a result, the American GIs not only built aircraft carriers at full capacity and prepared to do the daring little devils, but also began to support the enemy's enemy.

That's right, between American GIs and China, there are not comrades-in-arms and friends, and isn't it ridiculous to talk about friendship between countries? The intimate relationship between countries will always be based on the interests of all countries. The interests of the state and the nation are above all else, and this is definitely not a slogan.

The support of American GIs was solid, and in the past few years, nearly $3 billion in military aid has been continuously shipped to China. Three billion, at that time, was not a small amount. You must know that the Nationalist Government has repaid its debts for eight years, and it has only repaid 3.1 billion silver oceans of domestic and foreign debts, which is only a little more than one billion dollars when converted into US dollars, which means that these 3 billion US dollars are enough for the entire Nationalist Government to repay for 20 years.

No less! Even American GIs felt that they had tightened the canvas belt on their jeans in order to aid their allies in the East. But neither the American GIs nor the soldiers who fought bloody battles in front of China could have imagined that the three billion US dollars would eventually reach China with just a few hairs. Yes, that's right, before Nima left the United States, the money was intercepted by the four major families, and more than two billion US dollars were obediently placed in the bank of the American GI. Even if the rest reach China, I don't know how many of them will become weapons in the hands of the soldiers.

This is the government under the leadership of a strange bald man.

Of course, we can't completely deny this achievement, to be honest, China in this period is really much better than China at the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and China with warlords fighting in a melee is not much better, if it were not for the brazen war launched by the Japanese, China would also be advancing to an industrialized country, although two hundred years later than the Western countries.

Sino-American airlines are a product of this background.

The U.S. company Curtis negotiated with the Chinese government to establish an airline. However, this company was not a joint venture at the beginning, but the Americans wanted to be a sole proprietorship, and to put it bluntly, they wanted to monopolize the Chinese market. The Chinese side negotiated with Sun Yat-sen's son, Sun Ke, the then Minister of Railways of the Nationalist Government.

However, in the end, the result of the negotiations was that the United States held 60 percent of the shares, while China, a big country, only accounted for 40 percent, and it was still in its own airspace. Of course, this was not allowed by the Aviation Administration of the Nationalist Government, represented by the Chinese military at that time.

As a result, the Aviation Administration, which is in charge of the sky, and the Ministry of Railways, which is in charge of the underground, began to wrestle. The airport is not used, and the hangar is not allowed to be built, which makes it difficult for airlines to move forward. Sun Ke has a lot of support in the national government because he has a bull fork father, but this is not possible, and the nationalist stance of the Aviation Agency is enough to defeat everyone.

Moreover, the relationship between the U.S. government and the Nationalist Government at this time was only at the level of doing business, and during this period, the Third Reich was the closest partner of the Nationalist Government. The Aviation Administration went directly to the Third Reich in the hope of re-establishing an airline.

Convinced that they could make money in the Chinese sky, the Americans were anxious and no longer arrogant, and finally compromised and re-signed a contract with the Chinese government, with the Chinese government holding 55 percent of the shares and the American company holding 45 percent of the shares, and formally established Sino-American Airlines in July 1930.

It can be said that in the end, China won the victory in this commercial negotiation, which is one of the few times in modern history that foreigners did not take advantage of it.

Although the wrestling between all walks of life at the time of the establishment of Sino-US Airlines was unattainable for ordinary people and impossible to know the inside story, it was not a secret to the direct family of business families like Fan Ziran and Xiao Yangniuer. Wasn't that a major business activity very wide-ranging, and all forces rushed to get a piece of the pie?

Whether it is Chinese or Western, it is like this, there is no strong background, and the commercial building that only wants to smash people with money is just a mirror, and a small pebble can make it fall apart.

Otherwise, Liu Lang would not have needed the Ross family to invest in the shares to protect him because of sulfonamides, and the expansion of capital has always been full of blood.

After listening to Fan Ziran and Xiao Yangniu's narration from time to time, Liu Lang finally figured out the origin of this airline that he didn't know.

"Ahem, I was obsessed with my studies at that time, and I didn't listen to the things outside the window, and I only read the books of the sages, and after a long time, someone already thought of us in front of us." Langtuanxi has always been not thin-skinned, and after a little embarrassment, he will use a sentence of hard work to extract himself from the embarrassment.

Slapped the table, the tiger body shook again, "Since someone has paved the way, it is better to do it, the acquisition of Curtiss shares, even if you can't collect 45 percent, you have to collect more than 30 percent, and the Ross family will control it, which also saves us a lot of manpower, material resources and time, a good thing!" ”

The two business elites bared their teeth again, but this one didn't have a backache when he stood and spoke, what about the money for the acquisition of shares? Where did it come from?

"Money, there will be, I believe in the eyes of the Rose family, Ms. Laura, I'm sure you can move them too, don't you?"

Of course, Langtuan will make money, but it just makes the little foreign girl roll her eyes.

You know, it's an empty glove again.
