Songhu: Never Give Up

Chapter 35 Yue Group (Seeking follow-up reading)

Yue Qianli didn't expect Franklin to ask this question. After thinking about it, he let it go. This was the only reason why the president of a big country kept him alone. Franklin was definitely a connoisseur.

"Young man, don't worry, just speak up. I just want to know. It's okay if you don't want to tell me."

Yue Qianli thought for a moment and said:
"Sir, although China does not have armored forces, we had cavalry groups two thousand years ago, and the corresponding cavalry tactics are very complete. In a sense, the tactical role of armored forces and cavalry is the same."

Franklin suddenly realized that this explanation was indeed reasonable. The cavalry in the cold weapon era was the armored force of today.
The Chinese people mastered cavalry tactics to perfection two thousand years ago. This nation has fought for thousands of years, and the gene of fighting is ingrained in their bones. Such a nation cannot be completely conquered.

Thinking of this, Franklin's eyes softened, and he continued to ask irrelevantly:
“Why did you choose to study abroad in West Point?
Compared to America, Germany's military is stronger."

Yue Qianli said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"In the last world war, America was the victorious country. If there is another world war, America will be the victor again if nothing unexpected happens."

"Why?"

“This is also the answer I want to find.”

"Then have you found it?"

Franklin asked curiously. He was becoming more and more interested in the young man in front of him, and he was even willing to sacrifice his precious time to discuss this easy question with him.

Yue Qianli thought for a moment and then said:

"Wars are fought based on comprehensive national strength. America has all the advantages in science and technology, industry, resources, population, materials, and an advanced national system. If you add a unique geographical location and a wise and intelligent leader, such a country is almost invincible."

Franklin just smiled faintly and said:
"You don't seem to be optimistic about world peace, but now mainstream countries don't want to go to war. Too much blood has been shed in the European war. Peace is the mainstream."

Yue Qianli saw that Franklin was speaking nice words as usual, but deep down they desired war more than anyone else, because only through war could they gain power.

He naturally wouldn't say such words, but said with indignation:

"China has already been swallowed up by its evil neighbor, Northeast China and most of North China, how can I expect peace?

The Tanaka Memorial once openly clamored that if one wants to conquer China, one must first conquer Manchuria and Mongolia; if one wants to conquer the world, one must first conquer China!

Their military aggression in Northeast China and North China just proved this strategy. Manchuria, Mongolia, North China, and the next step is the whole of China.
Japan has the second-largest navy in the world. Their shortcomings are land, population, and resources, which China has. Once they annex the entire China, all these shortcomings will be made up. At that time, will their powerful navy still be willing to share the Pacific Ocean with others?"

Franklin probably guessed what Yue Qianli was thinking. He also admitted that what Yue Qianli said made sense, but it was not yet time for America to take the stage, and the show had not yet begun. Thinking of this, he smiled and said:
"Yue, let's wait and see. America is a responsible country. We will pay close attention to the dispute between the Japanese and the Chinese in the East. The League of Nations will make its own voice. Let's stop here for today's afternoon tea. Congratulations again on your good result of getting the first place."

"Old fox!"

Yue Qianli sneered in his heart, then his expression returned to normal, as if he had never said the previous words, then he saluted and turned away.

Yue Qianli knew better than anyone that China had some say in the world and had to show its strength;
In another time and space, it was because of holding back millions of Japanese invaders in the Eastern battlefield and demonstrating the national prestige and military power that it was qualified to receive some assistance and became one of the four giants. Dignity is earned through fighting!

After the graduation ceremony, Yue Qianli and others successfully completed their studies in Xidian. According to the arrangement of the embassy, ​​they will return to China by ship in three months.

The brothers had nowhere to go, so they just stayed in Yue Qianli's company to kill time, eating and drinking for free. As they were relying on their big brother, they had no psychological pressure at all.

It is less than half a year away from the bottom of the stock market. Now is the craziest time for the stock market. It is no exaggeration to say that even old ladies have entered the market. The stock price is reaching new highs every day.

Experts even predict that this bull market will last for ten years. It is still only halfway up the mountain, and countless people are crazy about it. Some bosses even mortgage their factories to banks or sell them cheaply to raise funds to enter the market. The money-making effect of the stock market is much more profitable than doing business.

"Brother, it's time to ship!"

"Second brother, isn't it a little early? It shouldn't have reached its peak yet. If you leave three months later, maybe you can double your money. That will be enough to buy a lot of supplies."

Yue Qianli could understand his elder brother's thoughts. He himself had the same idea, but he knew that he must stop when it was time to stop. Greed is like a sword hanging over your head!

Thinking of this, he said with a firm look:

"Brother, never think about selling at the highest point. We have already made more than 20 times the profit. We should stop while we are ahead and put the money in the bag. If we are late, it will easily cause a stampede."

"Second brother, you're right. The most taboo thing about this kind of thing is being too greedy. It's out of control!"

Yue Qianli could actually do it by himself, but he still brought his elder brother along to train his abilities in practice.

It took them half a month to ship out the goods in batches. After they cleared their positions, the stock market was still in a frenzy, but they had already waved goodbye and left this magical place.

There is more than 8 million US dollars in the account of Yue’s Investment Company. The money naturally cannot be kept in the bank. Only by putting it into motion can more money be made.

With money, Yue's Investment Company began to acquire military and pharmaceutical companies in the market, holding controlling stakes in two military factories, a pharmaceutical company, a small shipyard, a real estate company, and invested in General Motors, Coca-Cola, Boeing, etc., with a total investment of 6 million US dollars. In this way, the annual dividends alone will be enough to support the combat needs of hundreds of thousands of troops.

Yue's Investment Company was also upgraded to Yue's Group with a registered capital of 8 million yuan. Chairman Yue Qianli and General Manager Yue Baili recruited hundreds of employees. Their first goal was to go public within five years.

The group has opened a special account at Citibank and can withdraw funds freely from its branches around the world, including branches in Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places.

As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. Now Yue Qianli has become the best friend of Robert. After in-depth communication, he knows that Robert's family has a terrifying influence in the political and business circles of the Eagle Sauce.
Captain Smith has now become a good friend of Yue Qianli. Relying on their relationship, the Yue Group has gradually gained a foothold in New York.

Yue Qianli was well aware of the principle of interest bundling, so he allowed the Robert family to invest in the Yue Group, holding 20% ​​of the shares and becoming the second largest shareholder. Smith held 5% of the shares, and in return Smith was responsible for transporting all kinds of materials needed by Yue Qianli to the country.

After completing this series of operations, it was time for them to return home. Yue Qianli purchased a whole shipload of supplies and embarked on the journey back home. After arriving in Shanghai, these supplies would be stored in Smith's warehouse, and Yue Qianli could collect them at any time.
