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

After sending the assistant away, Charlie hadn't even caught his breath when he heard hurried footsteps coming from far away. In less than 30 seconds, a middle-aged man appeared in front of Charlie, panting.

"Mr. Charlie, great news!"

Charlie's body trembled slightly, and he asked anxiously,

"What good news?"

"Our subsidiary, Aoto Trading, is about to receive an order for tons of iron ore and another for 4000 tons of pig iron! We are currently negotiating! The buyer is Puxi Iron and Steel!"

Charlie swallowed his saliva. He was almost mad tonight, and now when he thought of Zhu Xiaoquan, he gritted his teeth.

Now hearing about this big order, Charlie excitedly slammed the table!

“Keep the progress updated!”

"Yes!"

After the middle-aged man left, Charlie hummed a tune excitedly.

Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes!

"Hahahahaha!"

He made a phone call casually.

"Please help me connect to Huaqi Foreign Trade Company!"

After some transfers, a familiar voice came from the receiver.

The other party's voice was obviously unhappy.

"I'm Maurice, who are you?"

Charlie was delighted because he heard yawns and his wife's whispered complaints from Morris's words. The call to Huaqi Foreign Company just now didn't go through, so Charlie asked for the phone number of Morris's villa.

Morris has gone to bed!

This shows that he still doesn't know about the Magic City Commercial Savings Bank.

Charlie hesitated.

Do you want to discuss the purchase with him?

Morris became impatient and shouted in the receiver,

"Who are you? If you don't say anything, I'll hang up!"

Charlie came back to his senses and said quickly,

"Good evening, Mr. Morris, I'm Charlie!"

After hearing Charlie's introduction, the other party's attitude improved a little and his tone became calm.

"Good evening, Mr. Charlie. What time is it? Are you still awake?"

Charlie didn't care about this light accusation at all, and said with a smile,

"I can't sleep. I've been thinking that even if all the major foreign banks jointly refuse to lend, it won't guarantee a foolproof solution. What if any bank can't resist the temptation and lends privately? All our efforts will be wasted. After much thought, I finally came up with a solution!"

"Oh, what is it?"

Morris was obviously very interested, and his voice became much louder.

Charlie laughed a few times and said,

"Their purchasing scale is huge, and their demand for raw materials is enormous. Iron ore, pig iron, rubber, and copper, for example, are all essential items. I've calculated that Magic City's current inventory can only meet 30% of their needs. They'll definitely need to import a lot more!"

Charlie took a breath and continued,

"Of this 60% of spot goods, over % is held by our major trading houses. Furthermore, we also control most of the import channels, and TA's order is so urgent. Mr. Morris, do you understand what I mean?"

Morris's hearty smile suddenly came from the receiver!

He seemed to be in a very good mood, because the sound coming from the receiver made Charlie's eardrum hurt.

"Mr. Charlie, you mean to raise the price, right?"

"Mr. Morris, your response is as quick as ever! I admire you! No matter where the loan comes from, it will eventually flow into our trading company!"

Morris screamed, obviously excited.

"The entire Magic City economy has been strangled by the neck. As long as we are unhappy, we can suffocate it at any time!"

Charlie immediately complimented him.

"My friend, your metaphor is very vivid!"

After the frenzy on the other side, there was a sudden silence. It was obvious that Morris was thinking. A few minutes later, a voice came from the receiver again.

"Mr. Charlie, how much do you think we should increase the price?"

"It's best to increase prices gradually to create an atmosphere where supply exceeds demand. For the first round of price increases, I think 10% is appropriate!"

"Mr. Charlie, I totally agree with you!"

"How about we arrange a meeting with everyone at 9 o'clock tomorrow?"

"I have no opinion!"

Morris was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked,

“What if they see we’ve raised the price and refuse to buy from us?”

"My plan is this: tomorrow morning, all our major trading companies will issue an announcement stating that shipping capacity is tight and many goods will have difficulty arriving at the port in the short term. We'll raise prices by 10%. This operation isn't targeted at anyone. Once TA Company signs contracts with various manufacturers and obtains loans from various foreign companies, we'll gradually raise prices!"

Morris laughed again.

"High! To use a Chinese idiom, this is called pulling the ladder out after climbing up the roof! If they purchase supplies, we can make a huge profit. If they don't, we can still charge interest."

Charlie laughed a few times.

"That's not all! Once the factories find themselves unable to fulfill their orders, they'll think this is a setup by TA!"

Charlie suddenly became very happy and continued,

"This is a big show, really exciting! Only when TA goes bankrupt can our insurance company have a chance to rise. Mr. Morris, what do you think?"

"I completely agree with your plan. Tomorrow morning, I will instruct my subordinates to issue a notice!"

"Mr. Morris, I won't disturb your rest. I wish you a sweet dream!"

"Thank you, and I wish you a sweet dream!"

After hanging up the phone, Charlie dialed another number without any pause.

"Notify Aoto Company immediately and raise prices by 6%. Also inform Puxi Iron and Steel that due to shipping capacity constraints, bulk cargo will have difficulty reaching the port in the near future. All trading companies have reached an agreement to raise prices by 10% tomorrow morning."

After doing all this, Morris hummed a tune, ground a cup of coffee himself, and looked out at the Huangpu River in the distance.

“The brightly lit Magic City is truly charming!”

Suddenly, Charlie saw the sign of the Magic City Commercial Savings Bank, and his good mood immediately disappeared!

In fact, there is a long distance between the two banks!

Charlie didn't see it clearly, but he knew that the Magic City Commercial Savings Bank was there!

He gnashed his teeth.

"Zhu Xiaoquan, just wait! If you dare to snatch food from me, tomorrow I'll let you know who dominates the banking industry in this Magic City!"

……

In the Cathay Hotel, Guo Dachong lay on the sofa and started smoking one cigarette after another.

His face was full of melancholy.

Hu Zhenhua was in a good mood and asked someone to set up a pool table in his office for his own entertainment.

After he hit another shot, he caught sight of Guo Dachong with a sullen face and shouted,

"Brother Guo, come and play a shot!"

Guo Da Chong snorted coldly.

"You're so bold! We're about to offend the entire Demon City, aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up!"

Guo Dachong glared at him and took a deep breath.

"Okay, you're tall and I'm short!"

After Hu Zhenhua hit a shot, he walked up to Lao Guo and put the club in his hand.

"Brother Guo, play a few rounds with me!"

Guo Da Chong grabbed the club, threw it aside, and shouted,

"roll!"

Hu Zhenhua was not angry either. He sat down next to him and handed him a cigarette.

"Brother Guo, I'm not the tall one this time, it's Tang! This is a big show, I'm really looking forward to it! I can't wait to see the result!"

Hearing the three words "Tang", Guo Dachong's body trembled a few times. The danger came from this person!

He stared at Hu Zhenhua and shouted,

"Do you know that Tang is going to crush us like an ant? And you still want to use him as a gun!"

Hu Zhenhua shook his head.

"I didn't mean to use him as a pawn, he bumped into me on his own. If I hadn't agreed, he would have killed me. Mr. Tang is such a good man, sacrificing himself to illuminate others!"

After Lao Hu's jokes, Guo Dachong's expression relaxed a lot.

"Hua Zi, I'm increasingly convinced that you've been possessed by some unclean spirit. When we were on the move before, you were so cowardly you tried to hide under a woman's skirt! How dare you tease the army commander now?"

Hu Zhenhua jumped up and shouted,

"Bullshit! You're the one hiding under a woman's skirt!"

Guo Dachong waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, just deny it, the truth is unpleasant to hear!"

Hu Zhenhua: %@

He was so angry that his teeth were itching, so Lao Guo bullied him because he had lost his memory.

After the two brothers had a quarrel, they started to get down to business. Guo Dachong lit another cigarette and said,

"Huazi, we must think of a way out!"

Hu Zhenhua also became serious.

"We have three options. The first is Hong Kong. Wang Zhan has already gone there to scout out the situation. You should have read the telegram he sent. He's been very quick to buy up a lot of land. Yu Bing plans to build his food factory there. The second option is our franchise on Irian Island. I'm planning to send a group of people to survey it. I'm still working on the third option. We must establish good relations with the Americans. If we want to survive in the West, this is essential!"

Guo Da Chong blew out a puff of smoke and asked doubtfully,

"We come from an intelligence agency, which the Americans are very wary of. Plus, they think you know information about polar bears, so they're lucky they didn't arrest us. And you still want to have a good relationship with them?"

Hu Zhenhua grinned.

"That bastard Wang Mo said something absolutely right: The reason a chess piece remains on the board is because it still has value! As long as we are valuable, we can earn the friendship of the Americans!"

"Why don't I see what value we have?"

"Brother Guo, don't worry about this, I'll handle it!"

He paused and continued,

"I intend to appoint Wang Mo as Vice Chairman and Deputy General Manager of TA Company and hold a grand appointment ceremony!"

Guo Dachong knew that Hu Zhenhua was going to get serious.

TA company is like a fully loaded truck traveling at high speed. If it brakes suddenly, it will overturn. What you need to do now is to hand over the steering wheel to someone else and then jump out of the car to escape.

Whether he escapes or suffers broken bones, it all depends on fate!

"Hua Zi, if you really want to be with someone named Tang..."

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand.

"Brother Guo, the Tang guy isn't that scary. If the world were peaceful, we would naturally die without a burial place, but he would immediately become a homeless dog! Also, we're not fighting alone!"

Hu Zhenhua stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction of the Magic City Station.

"Mr. Tang has offended the Chief!"

Hu Zhenhua just figured this out.

The bigwigs in the government all have their own territories. You can take advantage of them to get some benefits, but if you want to take over their company, you will commit a big taboo!

Now that the Tang family is so powerful, the chief has no choice but to give in, but Tang cannot always have the upper hand.

The Director is like a beast hiding in the darkness, staring at every move of his prey!

Guo Dachong was silent for a while and asked,

"What if Wang Mo interferes with the operation of our company?"

"Tomorrow, I will finalize the contracts with the various manufacturers and transfer the money. As long as there is no money in the account, TA Company can let Wang Mo do whatever he wants."

Lao Hu thought about it and said,

"Brother Guo, you have the most important task. Immediately withdraw 2000 million yuan from our company account. Add to that Li Wei's million yuan, and this million yuan is the most important part of our company. You are very familiar with the magic. Where should we hide this money?"

Guo Dachong leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then suddenly said,

"The most dangerous place is also the safest place!"

"Where is the most dangerous?"

"Magic City Station!"

Hu Zhenhua widened his eyes and shouted,

"How is that possible? Leaving money with them is like giving fish to a cat's mouth! Do we want it back?

Guo Dachong laughed dryly and said,

"To be precise, it's not the Modu Station, but right next to it! Aren't we planning on donating some food to the brothers at the Modu Station? We'll rent two warehouses nearby, one open and one hidden! The open one will distribute food every day, and the hidden one will hide the money! Trucks are transporting food in and out, and it can also provide cover for our money transportation!"

Guo Dachong suddenly thought of something and said with a smile,

"Didn't you tell Wang Mo that you wanted to mobilize 10 million yuan? He thought the money was a donation to the bureau. Let's donate another sum to the bureau. Even if the money transportation process is exposed, who would dare to investigate the Secret Service?"

Hu Zhenhua gave a thumbs up.

"Brother Guo, you are indeed a veteran spy. Just hearing this plan makes me shudder!"

"roll!"

After a moment of silence, Guo Dachong suddenly said,

"Hua Zi, I think we need to involve the bureau in this matter!"

"What do you mean?"

"Eating alone in secret can easily lead to choking!"

Hu Zhenhua nodded.

"I promised to give the Chief a few hundred-year-old ginseng plants. Once they're ready, I'll find time to send them to him. However, this plan can't be exposed too early. I'll report it when the time is right!"

"This is more thorough. If the plan doesn't go as planned, we'll be in trouble!"

"Brother Guo, just in case, the food company must be separated from Tongan Company immediately. This is our company's cash cow and we can't afford to lose it!"

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to balance the accounts right away!"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand.

"The evidence of falsifying the accounts is too obvious. Wang Mo is no fool. So, let the food company issue an IOU with an annual interest rate of 10%. We can divest the money openly and honestly! This way, Wang Mo can't say anything!"

"What about the airline?"

"Let me discuss this with Wang Mo. If he wants it, then we won't divest. If he doesn't want it, then we'll divest! Have the airline write an IOU with 20% annual interest and hand it over!"

Guo Dachong laughed heartily.

"When Wang Mo sees this IOU, he will definitely not ask the airline to pay him. He will even ask you to mortgage the plane to him!"

"If he's blind, you can't blame me!"

"Huazi, out of the 20 million in cash, we can't explain the whereabouts of 10 million. How can we explain this to Wang Mo?"

"I'm not explaining anything to him! According to the agreement, he can't interfere with the operation of his company!"

"you are great!"

Guo Dachong now feels much more at ease!

Hu Zhenhua thought for a moment and said,

"Brother Guo, after signing the order, I plan to go to Jinling for a few days to recuperate. Do you want to come with me?"

"Are you trying to make the outside world think that Wang Mo has taken control of their company?"

"Brother Guo, you are really a worm in my stomach!"

"roll!"

Lao Guo was silent for a moment and said,

"I'm not going. Someone has to be in charge of the Magic City. I won't show up in the next few days. Let Wang Mo, that traitor, deal with it!"
