The Two Heroes of the Ye Family

The next morning, Ye Xiaoyang came to Robinson's company alone and was led by Ye Lina to the president's office.

Seeing Ye Xiaoyang coming in, Robinson immediately stood up from his seat and walked straight towards Ye Xiaoyang.

"Dear Tony, thank you so much."

Ye Xiaoyang naturally understood what Robinson meant by "thank you". He immediately waved his hand and said:

"In Chinese terms, this is your destined wealth, a gift from God."

Robinson's gratitude refers to the United States' participation in the war, and the U.S. military directly ordered a large amount of arms from their company.

For example, orders for automatic rifles, bulletproof vests, bulletproof helmets, rocket launchers, etc. total nearly US$30 billion.

The profit from this single deal exceeded $18 billion, making Robinson's arms company a fortune.

Excluding some necessary fees and kickbacks, the net profit exceeded US$15 billion.

Such good things can only be encountered by chance.

Robinson understood that the automatic rifles and grenades provided by Tony were of excellent performance.

There are also materials for bulletproof helmets and bulletproof vests, which cannot be made without Tony's material composition table.

If such a good product is sold to the military, many American soldiers will be spared from death.

Now, he has firmly established himself as the number one arms dealer in the United States, and if nothing unexpected happens, he should also be the number one in the world.

Combined with his company's stock market gains, his personal assets now exceed $30 billion.

Ye Xiaoyang didn't know how much money Robinson had made from the US military, but he could roughly estimate it.

He had no envy or jealousy at all.

If he had not sold the technology to Robinson, he would not have had enough funds to do so many things.

There is no way to form a special forces team. Without a special forces team, fewer Japanese soldiers and traitors would die.

If there were no more Japanese devils and traitors, the people would suffer much less.

From this perspective, this is definitely a win-win deal, and both parties make a lot of money.

"Tony, I toast you."

"Robinson, I want to toast you too."

Robinson picked up the red wine glass in front of him and drank it all.

Ye Xiaoyang naturally risked his life to accompany the gentleman. Although he didn't like drinking, he drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

Putting down the wine glass, Ye Xiaoyang looked at Robinson.

"Robinson, I came to the United States this time to ask you to help me buy a submarine."

Ye Xiaoyang didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose. Westerners like to be straightforward.

Given Robinson's current status, he must have good relations with many military-industrial enterprises in the United States.

"No problem, but do you have anyone who can operate a submarine?"

"No, the seller needs to arrange personnel training, and the training costs will be borne by us."

"Great! I'll handle the rest. Just prepare some extra US dollars."

Robinson did not ask Ye Xiaoyang why he wanted to buy a submarine because he felt it was unnecessary.

Tony probably bought the submarines to retaliate against the Japanese devils, who are now also enemies of the United States.

"Thank you!"

"Tony, you have an extraordinary vision. Can you tell me about your views on the major trends in the world?"

Ye Xiaoyang took a sip of the coffee in front of him and said:

"The three evil Axis powers of Japan, Germany, and Italy are doomed to fail.

It will happen within three or four years, and the first country to surrender will be Italy."

Robinson looked at Ye Xiaoyang with a confused look on his face.

Ye Xiaoyang spoke so confidently, he guessed that even the president of the United States wouldn't dare to be so confident?

"Tony, really?"

Robinson was still a little bit unbelievable.

"Robinson, there are two proverbs in China. One is that those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few, and the other is that good will never prevail over evil."

“I’ve heard these two sentences.

I am surprised that you say this world war will be over in three or four years."

When Robinson told Ye Xiaoyang why he was surprised, he was not surprised at all.

I dare to assert that for such a big thing, it is polite of the other party not to think I am crazy.

“At this point in time, I am not speaking nonsense.

If the United States had not dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese navy at Midway Island, I would not be so sure.

Another point is that the president of your beautiful country has an extraordinary vision and is indeed a powerful person.

According to the information I obtained from Hujiang, the Deep Blue Special Service knew about the Japanese plan to launch a surprise attack on the Pearl Harbor military base in Hawaii two days in advance and informed the CIA.

It is interesting that the top leaders of the United States knew about this news but did not alert the relevant departments.

"There's such a thing? Doesn't that make..."

Ye Xiaoyang waved his hand and said softly:

"Actually, this is a good thing for you. If the United States had not joined the war, your business would not have been so good.

Today’s conversation must not be known to any third party.”

This news was written by Ye Xiaoyang when he was reading a history book about World War II on Earth.

"Tony, I understand the risks involved."

"Knowing the truth but not warning you only shows one thing: your president sees the defeat of the Axis of Evil.

Now is the best time to reap the fruits of victory.

But the people of your country do not want to participate in the war, this is a last resort.

It's not that your president has bad character and doesn't care about the lives of your American soldiers."

"I understand this situation, and the American people really just want to watch the fire from the other side of the river.

People can only feel pain when they are hurt.”

Ye Xiaoyang gave Robinson a thumbs up.

"Robinson, what you said is very good. Now you should understand that my opinion is not groundless, right?"

"The time you estimated is quite reasonable. It would be too embarrassing to leave the scene too late. It's definitely not appropriate."

“That’s the basis for my judgment.”

Of course Ye Xiaoyang would not tell Robinson that he had traveled from the future and already knew the answer.

"Tony, I have a lot of money now. What industry do you think will yield higher returns?"

“Now reserve more gold. When this war is over, the Japanese yen, British pound, etc. will depreciate.

The only currency that is still strong is probably the US dollar.”

"What happens after this war?"

“After the war, it is natural to develop the economy. But what is the purpose of developing the economy?

It's not difficult to figure out this purpose and then deduce the investment direction, but I have limited funds, otherwise..."

Ye Xiaoyang knew very well that the most important thing after the war was of course oil, which was known as the blood of industry.

Setting up an oil company and then purchasing oil fields in the Middle East to extract oil is a business that is sure to make money.

He didn't want to tell Robinson yet unless he became his partner.

"Tony, you have the best brain. With your vision, it's impossible not to make plans for the aftermath of the war."

Ye Xiaoyang smiled at Robinson and said:

"I have a project. If you're willing to participate, I welcome you. Brother He has already agreed to invest."

"Oh, can you tell me more about that?"

"I came all the way from Fog City to California just for this project."

Ye Xiaoyang deliberately piqued Robinson's interest. If he could bring Robinson in, the business would become bigger and stronger.

To become the largest arms dealer in the United States, it is far from enough to just have business talent.

There is no need to guess, he must have strong connections with the US military, and Robinson is also an Anglo-Saxon.

"What project? Can you tell me about it?"

“I plan to start an investment bank.”

"Investment bank? Really?"

Ye Xiaoyang nodded without saying anything. He believed that Robinson must be thinking.

After a while, Robinson asked:

“How much is the start-up capital for an investment bank?”

“The initial plan was to raise 200 tons of gold as reserves for the investment bank.

A few days ago, when I was talking to Brother He, he was willing to invest 50 tons of gold in an investment bank.”

Robinson's mind was working rapidly. One ton of gold was about 150 million US dollars.

250 tons of gold, nearly $4 million.

With so much gold reserves, the investment bank must be quite powerful. It seems that Tony Ye is ready to do something big.

"Tony, can you tell me how investment banks plan to make a profit?"

“As the name suggests, we make money through investment projects and then distribute dividends to shareholders.

At present, the project I am optimistic about is to invest in oil in some Middle Eastern countries after this war is over.

Invest in some emerging industries in the two defeated countries of Japan and Germany, such as electronics and electrical appliances.

We are also investing directly in some small countries in Southeast Asia and Australia in mineral resources such as copper, aluminum, and iron ore.”

After hearing this, Robinson immediately asked:

“Will investment banks go public in the future?”

"If the company grows too fast and shareholders can't inject capital, they will naturally consider it. Going public is not a must."

"Tony, can I invest?"

"Robinson, how much gold do you plan to invest? Investing too little will not make much sense."

"Just like He Yingzhou, invest 50 tons of gold."

"Robinson, in the future you will be extremely proud of the decision you made today.

I am absolutely certain that this will be the investment with the highest return on your investment in the future.”

"Haha, that's great. I believe what you said."
