323 Roosevelt

The location of the factory is very important, such as whether the transportation is convenient, such as the distance from the water source and the origin of raw materials, etc., all of which need to be carefully planned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Mouzhi have only determined the approximate location now, and they decided to open two avoidance (harmony) pregnancy condom factories. one based in California, which primarily supplies the western market; The other is based in New York (state) and mainly supplies the eastern market.

Situ Meitang has been mixed in the United States for 50 years, and his energy and connections are very large. He helped hire factory management and technical personnel, both white and Chinese, and then arranged for his subordinates to help survey the site (California side).

In order to win over Hongmen, Zhou Hexuan also took the initiative to invite Hongmen to invest in shares.

It's a pity that now that all industries in the United States are withering, the Hongmen bigwigs are not optimistic about avoiding (harmonious) pregnancy condom business, and they don't want to get involved and play with Zhou Hexuan. In the end, it was Situ Meitang who made the decision, investing 20,000 US dollars, accounting for 12.5% of the shares.

In addition, Zhou Hexuan invested $60,000 and held 37.5% of the shares; Zhang Mouzhi invested $80,000 and owned 50% of the shares.

Zhou Hexuan specially gave the avoidance (harmony) pregnancy condom brand a resounding name, called "Jieshibang". Their biggest competitor in the future is Durex, which has just been founded and is now in the process of selecting a site.

Zhang Mouzhi stayed in San Francisco to build a factory, but Zhou Hexuan took a letter of recommendation from Situ Meitang and went to New York to visit Roosevelt.

Before the unification of Hongmen in the United States, Situ Meitang had founded the Hongmen branch "Anliang Tang", and its headquarters (Anliang Main Hall) was located in New York. Roosevelt was working as a lawyer and served as legal counsel to Anliang General Hall for ten years until he was preparing to run for vice president (1919).

Roosevelt had no shortage of money to spend, and when he was a teenager, he inherited a $120,000 inheritance from his father, his mother inherited a $1.3 million inheritance from his grandfather, and his uncle was a former president of the United States. Such a rich second generation and a second generation official, but during his tenure as assistant secretary of the Navy, he has been serving as Situ Meitang's legal adviser, which shows that the personal relationship between the two is very deep.

By the time Zhou Hexuan took the train to New York State, Mei Lanfang and his troupe had already toured Chicago. During the Great Depression, Mei Lanfang's performance was actually full, which shows the American people's obsession with him.

After the San Francisco Chronicle's interview about Zhou Hexuan was published, it was immediately reprinted by major newspapers. His idea of "overcapacity and imbalance in the distribution of wealth" has been taken seriously by more and more economists, and even the US State Department and state governments are discussing it.

……

Albany, a small city in the eastern United States, was originally a trading post established by the Dutch, but today it is the capital of New York State.

Well, the capital of New York State is not in New York (City).

The state government building is a western palace-style building with a very grand shape. It's a pity that many places have not been completed and belong to an unfinished building.

Legend has it that the governor ordered the construction of the building to be stopped because it cost so much money that many of the carvings on the walls were not finished. The original design was a circular dome, but it was also hastily changed to an ordinary roof, how awkward it looks, the difference in painting style is too great, and it is ugly.

Since Roosevelt became governor of New York, his family has moved into this unfinished palace.

New York State is the wealthiest and most prosperous state in the United States, with the headquarters of many large companies and the worst hit Wall Street in New York City. As the governor of New York, Roosevelt has been busy lately, spending his days in meetings or meeting with all kinds of big capitalists.

That evening, in the living room of Roosevelt's house, a sumptuous dinner was prepared.

John, a 12-year-old son, stared at the roast turkey on the table and asked, "Mom, are we going to have an early Christmas?" ”

Roosevelt's wife, Eleanor, smiled, "Today we have an important guest at a banquet. ”

"Which capitalist is it?" The only daughter, Anna, sneered.

Eleanor corrected: "A very knowledgeable scholar. ”

Anna choked up and asked, "Is that the kind of economist who only talks empty words and lies to deceive people?" ”

"Anna, watch what you say and do." Roosevelt was very upset, and his biggest headache was this daughter.

Although Anna is only 23 years old, she has been married for three years. The reason for her marriage is very simple, her grandmother wants her to study abroad, and she doesn't want to go to college, so she finds a random man to marry.

Her husband is 10 years older than her and is just an ordinary stockbroker. The relationship between the husband and wife was not good, and the husband went bankrupt in the stock market crash this time, and after the two quarreled a few times, Anna returned to her parents' house with her son who had just turned one year old.

This chick is rebellious and willful.

The family waited until after seven o'clock in the evening, and the maid finally brought Zhou Hexuan in: "Sir, Mrs., Mr. Zhou has arrived!" ”

Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt immediately got up to greet him, shook hands with Zhou Hexuan and said, "Mr. Zhou, you are welcome to our house. ”

"It's a great honor." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Mrs. Eleanor introduced: "Zhou Hexuan, this is my daughter Anna. ”

Zhou Hexuan stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Miss Anna." ”

"Hmm." Anna had no education to speak of, and just casually responded.

Zhou Hexuan had no choice but to withdraw his hand in embarrassment.

Roosevelt was even more embarrassed, and hurriedly introduced his son to turn his attention away: "This is Jamie, my eldest son." ”

The 22-year-old Jamie was much more steady, smiled and shook hands with Zhou Hexuan and said, "Hello Mr. Zhou, I'm James Roosevelt, and I'm currently studying finance at Harvard University. I admire your prediction of the stock market crash very much, and this time I heard that you are coming to your house as a guest, so I rushed back from school. ”

"Hello James, nice to meet you." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

This young man, but a observer of the Far East and the Middle East in World War II, had to make good contact.

As for Roosevelt's second son, Eliot, and third son, Delanor, they were both studying at boarding school at this time and did not appear at the dinner.

It was the youngest son, John, who had been looking at Zhou Hexuan curiously, because he rarely saw yellow people.

Zhou Hexuan was led to the dinner table and sat down, and the Roosevelts warmly greeted him to eat, chatting about homely things, without touching on the topic of the stock market crash and economic crisis.

Until the meal was over, Roosevelt invited Zhou Hexuan to the reception room, personally added wood, and lit a roaring fire in the fireplace.

Zhou Hexuan remembered the legend about Roosevelt, who after becoming president, invited many scholars to be think tanks. When he asks questions from experts, he doesn't do it in a formal meeting, but in a small chat sitting in front of the fireplace.

Roosevelt's eldest son, James, also came curiously, moved a stool and sat next to him to listen, and even held a notepad in his hand.

Roosevelt took out a copy of "The Rise of Great Powers" and said with a smile: "I like to read books, but only history and biography." I don't know anything about economics, and I want to ask some questions. ”
