Chapter 1046: Emptying the United States (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The Chinese Empire will send a huge business delegation to the United States and will purchase more than two billion dollars in goods, which will cause an uproar not only in the United States, but also in Europe. Like the United States, European countries are mired in an economic crisis. Since the Chinese Empire has placed such a large order on the Americans, how can it favor one over the other?
The British and French ambassadors to China also constantly asked to see the Imperial Foreign Secretary Tang Shaoyi, and wanted the Chinese Empire to send business and trade delegations to the two countries. It's just that Britain is okay, and the Chinese Empire can still look at a lot of British things. For example, aero engines, large steam turbines, and so on. In addition, there were many scientists in Britain, which the Chinese Empire hoped for. For example, the mathematician Alain Túrin, who is known as the father of computers and artificial intelligence. Although, the Academy of Sciences of the Chinese Empire has already begun to set up a project to carry out research on computers. However, due to technological constraints and a lack of relevant talent, progress has been slow. If Alain Túrin could be added to the Imperial Academy of Sciences, the development of computers would undoubtedly be greatly accelerated. Of course, talent like Alain Túrin is also invaluable to the British. It is undoubtedly very difficult to recruit them.
As for France, there is nothing to make the Reich look down on. Although France still holds the name of a world power, it is actually very weak. In future wars, they will be easily defeated by the Führer. In addition, the Chinese Empire had set its sights on the French colonies of Indochina. This piece of fat on the lips of the Chinese Empire, for various reasons, has not been able to swallow the Chinese Empire in one bite. This time, the economic crisis has hit both Europe and the United States hard. The opportunity for the Chinese Empire to swallow the colonies of Indochina seems to have already come.
Before the Imperial Trade Delegation left for the United States, the Emperor summoned the head of the delegation, Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi, and the deputy head of the delegation, Minister of Industry Xia Shoutian.
"This time, the delegation went to the United States, mainly to purchase large-scale industrial equipment, various industrial machine tools, as well as advanced technology and equipment. All industrial equipment that the Empire could not produce, or that was more advanced than the Empire, could be procured. Moreover, those scientists, engineers, and even skilled workers in the United States can be recruited to the empire. The empire's industry is developing rapidly, and these talents are needed. Wu Haoxuan said. This time, the empire sent a huge business delegation to the United States, on the one hand, to purchase the industrial equipment that the empire needed, and to strengthen the empire's industrial strength to the greatest extent. On the other hand, it weakens the industrial power of the United States. In such a situation, it seems that it is not difficult for the Chinese Empire to surpass the United States.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Tang Shaoyi and Xia Shoutian both nodded. They all knew how much the Emperor Wu Haoxuan attached great importance to this plan. Although, this time the empire smashed such a large order for the Americans. However, it is also impossible for the Americans to easily get these orders from the Empire. You'll have to trade it for their industrial equipment.
"The U.S. government, obviously, will not let the Empire's plan succeed so easily. When necessary, you can seek help from the U.S. business community and the private sector. Those American businessmen are now waiting for the empire to buy their things, and if the US government dares to obstruct them, it will undoubtedly cut off their financial route. Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents. At that time, without even the intervention of the Empire, those Americans will be able to get the US government to compromise and back down. Wu Haoxuan said with a smile.
"That's a good idea! This trip to the United States will definitely be able to empty the United States. After this time, the empire was able to surpass the United States in one fell swoop and become the most powerful industrial nation in the world. Xia Shoutian also said.
"Well, guys, all of this we are doing is to defeat the United States in the future. For this, no matter how much you pay, you will not hesitate to do so. Wu Haoxuan said firmly. The geographical location of the United States is so good that the Pacific and Atlantic oceans have become the best barriers for the United States. If the empire wants to defeat the United States and become the future world hegemon, it will have to be very strong. At the beginning of the war, the empire could only increase its own strength as much as possible and weaken the power of the United States. Only in this way will the empire have a better chance of winning in the future.
Under the watchful eye of the American people, the empire's huge business delegation set off from the empire at the end of October 4628 of the Yellow Emperor era, and the entire business and trade delegation was full of thousands of people. In addition to the personnel dispatched by the government, more people come from private enterprises. At the call of the Empire, the private enterprises of the Empire were also unwilling to let go of this opportunity to obtain a large amount of industrial equipment from the United States.
After nearly a month's voyage, the tanker carrying the Imperial trade delegation arrived in San Francisco. In San Francisco, the Imperial Trade Delegation was warmly welcomed by U.S. government officials. Representatives from major American companies even treated the members of these delegations on the spot, surrounding them like flies. The reason for this is purely to get orders from these Chinese.
Upon arrival in San Francisco, the Chinese business delegation began to disperse. Accompanied by U.S. officials, they began touring businesses across the U.S. to be able to procure the industrial equipment they needed.
For example, several shipyards in San Francisco have welcomed Chinese businessmen. However, to the dismay of the shipowners of these shipyards, these Chinese did not come for the ships they built, but directly for their shipbuilding equipment. In doing so, the Chinese Empire clearly wants to cut off the roots of the Americans!
This behavior of the Chinese Imperial Trade Delegation naturally made the Americans very dissatisfied. But are there any other options for the Americans than to compromise? Now, their life is very difficult, and there are always people who want to get rid of their property.
As a result, the merchants of the Chinese Empire began to wave the money in their hands and buy industrial products in the United States.
A shipyard on the West Coast, with shipbuilding equipment and several merchant ships that were about to be completed, cost a total of 10 million dollars. In other words, before the economic crisis, it was impossible to buy it without $100 million.
Similarly, there are American steel companies, and various machine factories, especially those capable of manufacturing industrial machine tools, have become the targets of the Chinese delegation.
In addition to these industrial equipment, American scientists, engineers, and even skilled workers have also been recruited by China.
Several companies from China have advertised directly in Central Park in New York, USA, recruiting engineers and skilled workers, and anyone with a skill can go to China and get a well-paid job. This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for those unemployed Americans. After all, in the United States, they are now precarious. If you can go to China, you might be able to live a good life. The only problem, of course, is that China is too far away from the United States. However, when life has become a problem, many Americans will choose to give it a try.
"Hello, I am a seventh-level fitter, if I go to China, how much salary can I get every month?" A middle-aged man asked.
"Sir, our factory is in need of workers like you, if you are willing to go to our factory, we can provide you with a salary of one hundred and fifty yuan a month." A fat-headed, big-eared factory owner said.
"One hundred and fifty dollars? Seventy-five dollars? The middle-aged man frowned, this salary is not high.
"Sir, one hundred and fifty dollars is not low. The price level in China is less than half that of the United States. One hundred and fifty Chinese dollars is enough for your family to live well in China. This is a rare opportunity. If you want to go, bring your family and go to the embassy to get a visa. We will provide you and your family with ferry tickets to China free of charge. The factory owner said.
The middle-aged man hesitated, but nodded. After all, in the United States, they simply don't get such jobs.
"Sir, if you have any friends like you, I suggest you persuade them to go to China with you. As long as you pass our test, you can get a referral fee of 50 Chinese dollars for every excellent skilled worker. The factory owner said with a smile.
This made the middle-aged man's eyes shine, and many of his friends were unemployed like him. It would be nice if they could go to China together. What's more, you can also get a lot of referral fees.
In the afternoon of the same day, the middle-aged man pulled a few friends to sign up. After passing the assessment, these people will board a passenger ship to China in the next month, contributing to China's strength.
The trade delegations of the Chinese Empire were like locusts crossing the border, and everything they saw, including people, was taken with them. And, at this time, when the official US economy is at its worst, they are often able to get what they want at the lowest cost. The Americans, who were already on the verge of surviving, could not refuse or stop the demands of the Chinese Empire.
Of course, this also has to do with the fact that the United States is a country of immigrants. These Americans, with their national identity, are far less than those of other countries. In such a difficult situation, they naturally chose to fly separately. (To be continued.) )
