Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Hu Zhenhua looked at the long queue on the street with a trace of pity in his eyes.

It looked like they were planning to fight all night long.

I wonder how many people will catch a cold tomorrow.

I feel really worried for them!

Hu Zhenhua smiled helplessly, turned back to the table and began to study the map.

"Perhaps our South Korean friends also need boat ticket insurance!"

Thinking of this, Lao Hu's mood improved and his eyes kept wandering on the map.

The failure of the Nationalist government is a historical trend that cannot be changed.

For the newly established Tongan Company, Hu Zhenhua urgently needed to find a new place to settle down.

Originally, he could go to the United States, but now Jimla suspects him, so he naturally cannot fall into the trap.

"It's a pity that the deal for that small island in Australia hasn't been finalized yet. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to worry about it so much."

Hu Zhenhua was looking at it intently when Guo Dachong pushed open the door and walked in. After checking around, he took out a stack of photos from his briefcase and placed them in front of Hu Zhenhua.

"It's been confirmed that Morris from Citibank has close ties with James. We're probably being tricked!"

Guo Dachong picked up the water cup on the desk, gulped down a few big gulps, and then continued,

"After the dinner yesterday, Morris immediately went to the US Consulate, probably to report!"

Without waiting for Hu Zhenhua to respond, Guo Dachong asked,

"Hua Zi, guess who else went to the US Consulate with Morris?"

"Could it be Charlie from Huifeng?"

"It's Kenny from the Australian and German Trading Company!"

"Depend on!"

Hu Zhenhua grabbed the cup on the table and threw it out.

The United States' first move was a deadly one. Not only did it want to control Tongan over debt, it also wanted to trick Hu Zhenhua onto that island.

If the loan amount had not been so large, if it had not been for Guo Dachong's intuition, Hu Zhenhua might really have built the head office on that deserted island.

Hu Zhenhua became anxious and paced back and forth in the room.

Inadvertently, Hu Zhenhua's eyes fell on the map again.

Irian Island, the circle drawn by Atlan is so dazzling and brilliant.

Hu Zhenhua sat back on the sofa.

After a long time, he looked up at Guo Dachong.

"Brother Guo, do you think it's possible for us to take advantage of their strategy?"

Guo Dachong extinguished the cigarette in his hand, leaned forward and asked,

"How do you turn the tables?"

"The US will pretend to support us before tricking me out, right?"

"That's right!"

"Before that, I'll build the headquarters on Irian Island. That should go smoothly, right?"

Guo Dachong already understood Hu Zhenhua's intention.

Under normal circumstances, Tongan Company would never be able to obtain self-jurisdiction over such a territory, but the situation is different now.

The United States will definitely support Tongan's investment in Irian Island in order to trap Hu Zhenhua and Australia will support it in order to gain benefits.

This is an opportunity!

There is a saying that goes, it is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away!

Once Tongan has established a firm foothold, who knows what the future will hold!

Guo Dachong lit another cigarette. This time, his mood was completely different.

"Huazi, when we sign the contract, we can also sign the Hong Kong price to avoid risks!"

The so-called port price means that payment is made after the goods arrive at one's own port, and the shipping risk is borne entirely by the seller.

Hu Zhenhua looked at Guo Dachong and said with a smile,

"What about after we arrive at the port? Couldn't the ship sink in the port? Couldn't our warehouse catch fire?"

Guo Dachong's face twitched a few times.

"Hua Zi, do you have a solution? You know, I'm old, and my brain isn't as quick as you young people!"

"Brother Guo, you're only in your thirties, you're in your prime!"

"Stop joking and tell me how to solve this problem!"

Guo Dachong picked up the apple on the table and threw it at Hu Zhenhua. Hu Zhenhua took it with one hand, took a bite, and said with a smile,

"It's very simple! Just open a few more shell companies!"

Atlan is just a pseudonym of Tongan!

Guo Dachong moved closer to Hu Zhenhua and asked anxiously,

"Be specific!"

"For example, if we secretly set up a company called Baixiang Grain and Oil, and Tongan sells the grain to Baixiang Grain and Oil before the grain arrives at the port, then the grain will no longer belong to us. Will the United States still sabotage it?"

Guo Dachong slapped his thigh and shouted,

"Hey!"

Unfortunately, he didn't hit his own thigh, but Lao Hu's thigh. Hu Zhenhua grimaced in pain and cursed,

"Old Guo, do you have any conscience? I'm still a patient!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Guo Dachong pinched his chin and thought for a moment: "To be prepared for any eventuality, we can still do a few more rounds."

After saying that, the two burst out laughing.

Yesterday's huge success made the Four Pests and Atlantean more confident.

Money is the courage of heroes.

The two were chatting enthusiastically when a subordinate came to report that Kenny had arrived.

Hu Zhenhua and Guo Dachong looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.

If nothing unexpected happens, this guy is here to sign the contract.

Hu Zhenhua showed little interest, leaned back on the sofa and yawned.

I went to bed at midnight yesterday and got up at 5 o'clock in the morning. I have been busy until now and haven't even had time to take a nap.

After getting up, I accompanied Wang Cuicui to buy insurance without having breakfast, and then tasted the delicious food at the Cathay Hotel. I had a small meeting with Atlan at noon, and learned traditional Chinese characters with Wang Cuicui in the afternoon. After dinner, I went to visit the Silver Mountain in the lobby on the first floor.

This day was very fulfilling!

In the small conference room on the second floor, Atlan also yawned. Next to him, Kenny looked anxious.

"Mr. Atlan, our government has agreed!"

Atlan suddenly lost his sleepiness and asked anxiously, "Who will be responsible for signing?"

"By our Consul David?"

“Why wasn’t it signed by your ambassador?”

Kenny wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Because the Ambassador is in Nanjing!"

Atlan nodded.

Atlan thought for a moment and said, "After all, this involves an island. I will invite a third party to be a witness. We will sign the contract tomorrow morning!"

Kenny was very anxious and asked, "Can we sign it now?"

"Are you in such a hurry?"

How could it not be urgent? Depositors were nearly emptying ANZ's vaults. If there was no financial support within an hour, ANZ would surely go bankrupt.

Aode is not like other foreign companies with a deep foundation. It only has three branches overseas. If the one in Shanghai goes bankrupt, it will be a serious blow to Aode.

Furthermore, other foreign banks have a continuous influx of cash from TA, which is enough to cope with the bank runs of depositors.

Atlan was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll have someone draft the terms immediately. Could you please invite the American Consul Carter to be a witness? By the way, when will your Consul David arrive?"

"No problem. I'll call Mr. Carter and Consul David right away. They'll be here in half an hour at most."

"Then let's draft a treaty first!"

Kenny grabbed Atlan's hand, his eyes full of pleading.

"Mr. Atlan, can your company accept our banknotes?"

Just as Hu Zhenhua expected, all the major banks over-issued banknotes in pursuit of extra profits. Now that they are being run by depositors, their true colors are immediately revealed!

Atlan's face immediately turned dark.

"Bank notes?"

This thing is linked to the bank's credibility and strength.

The Audemars Piguet Bank is already on the brink of bankruptcy, and it still wants others to accept banknotes?

Having sweet dreams in broad daylight, thinking only of good things!

Seeing that Atlan refused to give in, Kenny immediately increased the stakes.

"I can ask the Australian German Bank to provide a guarantee!"

“When will the guarantee procedures be issued?”

Kenny wiped the sweat from his forehead again.

"Soon! Soon!"

Atlan gave him an encouraging look.

"Mr. Kenny, I believe in your bank's efficiency. Keep it up!"

Aode in Shanghai is an independent entity. If there is no guarantee procedure, once it goes bankrupt, the Aode head office will not fill the hole.

All the major foreign banks knew about this situation, and since their own situations were not good, they were unwilling to lend funds to Australia and Germany.

In fact, the major foreign companies had mixed feelings. They were fighting each other fiercely and no one could do anything to the other. As a result, TA company suddenly appeared and almost bankrupted them.

Those who defeat their peers are not necessarily their peers.

If TA company can accept banknotes, Australia and Germany will be able to survive immediately. If not...

Kenny naturally refused to give up this life-saving straw.

"Mr. Atlan, please be flexible..."

Atlan was unmoved.

"Mr. Kenny, you don't have much time!"

After all, Atlan is just a senior employee. If he damages the interests of Tongan Company, the Four Pests will kick him out immediately!

Kenny was distraught. Before coming here, he had guessed that this might be the result!

At this moment, the Aude & Co. was bustling with people, a clamor rising and falling. People looked anxious, their faces filled with panic and unease. A long line snaked from the bank lobby all the way out into the street, and more people were constantly joining.

The door creaked with the pressure as people desperately rushed in, as if a single step slower would mean losing everything. The shouts and yells mingled, deafening. The tellers frantically responded, having already slowed down their withdrawal process as instructed, but the funds continued to flow out like water, unstoppable!

The hall was filled with tension, people jostling and shoving, the smell of sweat and anxiety thick in the air. Some clutched their deposit slips tightly, their eyes fixed on the counter, their mouths urging them to move. Some elderly people, barely able to stand in the crush, refused to leave. Security guards struggled to maintain order, but seemed powerless in the face of the surging crowd.

Outside the bank, traffic was in chaos, cars were blocked by the crowd, horns honked constantly. The whole scene was chaotic and thrilling, like an unstoppable storm, sweeping over everyone's nerves.
