Louis Adolf Thier, the old man is already over 70 years old and is not in good health, so he didn't appear on the deck when he was on the boat before, but now the boat is about to reach his destination, New York!

New York? Why not Washington?

Isn’t this old guy, Thier, the president of the French Republic now? Then this time you should go to Washington to meet the emperor of the empire?

There is no problem with the arrangement of this itinerary, because Thier had already greeted the relevant departments of the empire before, and he wanted to go to New York first, so what is in New York?

I'm afraid anyone can understand that this old guy has only one purpose, Wall Street!

Yes, the key to Thiers' trip is Wall Street. Simply put, he just wants to get some money!

As the president of the Third Republic of France, Thiers couldn't do it without making money. The current republic is simply a big mess. The compensation I signed with the German Empire before was 5 billion francs. But earlier, France had caused a huge emptiness in the country because of aluminium bets.

Simply put, there are two debts, both of which are huge debts, so huge that the old guy, Thier, wants to give up the position of president now!

This seat is really too stubborn, hey~

To put it bluntly, Thier is here to borrow money this time, and if you borrow money, you can't go to the British?

There is no way. Although Thierl now knows that the British must have money in their hands. Maybe these bastards are arguing about economic crisis, but what kind of bullshit economic crisis is that those rich British people have a lot of money in their hands, but they just can't spend it!

You really don't say that the old man Thierl still saw something essential. Maybe he has not summarized this thing into a theory now, but it is still essential.

The so-called economic crisis is not without money. The economic crisis is actually that money is concentrated in the hands of a few people, and these individuals cannot spend it. Simply put, it means there is no investment object. One of the things to solve the economic crisis is that it is to find new investment projects, that is, new economic growth points.

Thier is not an economist. He doesn't understand these detailed theories, but he can understand them. The problem now is that money is concentrated in the hands of a few people. However, the British and French are like cats and dogs. It would be nice if they don't fight each other when they meet.

Therefore, London cannot be visited. If Thiers went to London, then Paris might have a revolution again.

Visiting the American Empire is a very good choice. You should know that there is also a financial center here. Wall Street in New York is now in an economic crisis, so the American Empire seems to be similar.

It is because the money is concentrated in a few people, and they need to find investment directions...

Thier is worthy of being a veteran in politics. He can understand these things. This time he comes to New York, he is preparing to convince the rich people on Wall Street to invest in their France!

With France's current social productivity, its potential is still very huge, so this investment direction is still very good. This plan is still very likely to be successful, but...

"This...this...how are there so many construction sites?"

When Thier's ship arrived at New York Harbor and the old man also appeared on the side of the ship, he saw a busy scene. At first glance, the whole Manhattan looked like a huge construction site, which was being built everywhere, and the height of those buildings was really not low!

Then this situation...

Thier suddenly felt nothing in his heart!

...

"Dear Mr. French President, on behalf of the New York City Government, I welcome your arrival..."

Papa... flowers and applause are coming.

Lin Xiaoti brought New York officials, McIlroy and others to welcome Thier, after all, they are also the president of a country.

It is said that the empire and France are dirty. Everyone had a lot of fun fighting before, but now they are not the French Empire, but they are the French Republic, so we can make it disappear temporarily for the past.

To be honest, this is also an important reason why Thierre can visit the American Empire smoothly. If there is no major change in France, he will not be able to come. France will definitely strongly oppose it, and the empire may be difficult to accept it.

"Hello! Hello..."

"Hello, Mr. President!..."

Of course, there were greetings on each other, and then the banquet was followed by some arrangements... But, however, Tier was very anxious.

...

"Mr. Morgan, you probably know the purpose of my visit this time. Our French government hopes that your bank can acquire our government bonds. We will give you considerable discounts and the returns will be very good..."

After the banquet, Thierr quickly found an opportunity to meet JP Morgan. Fortunately, as an important figure in New York, JP Morgan was naturally in the welcome team. Thierr saved a lot of time and he didn't have to go to Wall Street specifically.

At this time, Wall Street was basically very good at speaking, but in the face of Thiers' request, he wanted to acquire French government bonds. This is a matter...

"Mr. President, I don't agree, but our current acquisition capacity is limited, and we can pay up to 5 million American dollars!" jp. Morgan frowned at this time. It was obvious that he was very difficult to deal with this matter.

This national debt...

It's very simple. It's because you have to pay back the debt of the King of Hell and the huge debts you owed before. Then there is one way to continue issuing the debt. However, this debt is beneficial to France, that is, the national debt is used for France's recovery and development, so as to repay the huge debts you owed before.

In this matter, Thier has already recruited JP Morgan before. Of course, that was through the middleman, but now, the two have met, and Thier is still the president of the same country no matter how much he said. JP Morgan is really not good at slapping people in the face.

"5 million?" After hearing this number, Tier's face was also bitter.

The American dollar has now completely replaced the original position of the US dollar, and the entire price is based on the original US dollar, and the same one, there will be no change.

Of course, this is definitely what Li Mengyang wants to do. This is an important step to restore order. Perhaps the value of the American dollar before was higher than the original dollar, but it doesn't matter, we'll decide that.

At this time, the exchange between the American dollar and the franc was like this, 1 to 10, and for the golden franc it was around 1 to 1.8, but now the status of the golden franc is difficult to maintain, that is to say, jp. Morgan can only give 50 million francs.

The exchange price is actually pretty good. The francs fell very hard before, because they lost, and the Paris Commune broke out...

But this little money is not enough to get stuck in the gaps!

"Mr. Morgan! Please believe me about this money, the reward will be very generous!" If Thierre took such a little money back, it would be no different from beggars.

"Mr. President, it's not that I don't want to give it too much, but now it's hard for us to make a lot of money..." jp. The word Morgan used at this time, obviously we refer to Wall Street here, that is, Wall Street's funds are also tight now.

"Why?"

Yes, then why is this? Shouldn’t Wall Street be very, very rich?

It's right to have money, but...

"Mr. President, you should have seen that the empire is now carrying out a lot of construction. His Majesty the Emperor has invested in the construction of a large number of transportation facilities. After the transportation is convenient, it has led to the increase in housing prices. So, you see that many high-rise buildings have been raised..." jp. Morgan was very helpless!

Morgan said the facts, and the whole situation is like this. After Li Mengyang made a lot of investment in transportation and telegraphs, he should not forget that there are cars and bicycles. Then the people of the empire will be much more convenient in terms of residence and travel. Capitalists are not stupid, and they immediately started to speculate on housing prices!

This matter is actually very interesting, that is, although the empire's policy is that land cannot be traded, everyone can trade the right to use. To put it bluntly, it is the same as the one in later China, and Li Mengyang has no new tricks.

But that was in the empire, in California, and in Mexico, wherever you can play the land there, you can do whatever you want. But after coming to the east, this country was built. But from a legal perspective, the land in the United States is privately owned!

Since you, Li Mengyang, have inherited the mantle of the United States, as you said, it will be difficult for you to change the ownership of this land... But fortunately, because of the war, a lot of land has actually become a land without a border.

Yes, the rich and landed people have run away a lot, so this part of the land can be directly nationalized, and the ownership will of course be changed, but there are still quite a few rich people who haven't run away, just like jp. Morgan.

Then the land policy said again. In order to stabilize these individuals first, Li Mengyang first developed a dual-track system.

That is, the ownership of public and private land is temporarily parallel, and both of these can exist. Moreover, your private ownership requires tax payment... This tax system also existed before, so it should be considered inheritance.

Once this happens, the behavior of speculating on land and houses will naturally occur. With more and more investment in infrastructure, this kind of speculation is normal.

Just Li Mengyang still doesn’t know? In the future, he has a newly planned subway, and the house prices along the route will immediately rise, like subway houses!

So, now Thier is asking for money, but the money is all going to speculate in real estate, and there is no surplus grain on Wall Street. How can I give it to you?

"..." Tier'er's face was really bitter, but what could he do?

However, at this time, jp. Morgan smiled, "Mr. President, don't worry, your situation, His Majesty the Emperor also knows that the great Majesty is the peerless hero, and he can definitely help you solve it..."

"Ah?!" This matter... (To be continued.)
