The United States on the other side of the ocean is now in excitement.

"The various equipment of your company are outdated. It is impossible for us to make a profit if we want to take over. We must transform the production line on a large scale. This is another huge expense. Therefore, we can spend up to 50 million US dollars for your acquisition."

When the artificial fiber company was about to be sold, Morgan immediately came forward. Other American companies could not compete with Morgan. If there was only one buyer, how much money would be sold was of course Morgan.

You should know that the company's tangible assets alone are worth more than US$128 million. According to its current profitability, if it is sold normally, it will have at least US$200 million.

Now, Morgan has only paid 50 million US dollars, which is definitely a waste of money.

The British looked very bad, but they were urged to be very anxious. If the sale was not completed, the United States would not formally sign the aid bill, and the United States Congress would not formally agree to aid the United Kingdom.

Therefore, the sale must be carried out, which was originally slaughtered.

"Can your price be higher?" asked the British.

"Okay, then we'll add more, 54 million dollars, not more." Morgan's staff said generously.

The 54 million US dollars, less than half of the real price and a quarter of the premium, were sold in this way, and the British representative had no choice but to sign the agreement.

This is just the beginning! In order to save their country, Britain will not care about the harm it causes to individuals or to a certain capitalist. If the UK is gone, what use are these capitalists?

This is the United States' wealth that is extorting Britain! And in order to win this war, Britain must sell its assets in the United States at a low price!

This news made the whole of the United States boil. A large number of American speculators were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night. The opportunity to make a fortune has come!

Outside the White House, a Jew in his forties was wandering and waiting.

After waiting for more than six hours, a secretary from the White House finally came out: "Dr. Hammer, President Roosevelt has five minutes now. Please communicate with you, please pay attention to the key points."

Dr. Hammer, he is a fake doctor, and this doctoral title was bought.

His greatest education is only a student of Columbia Medical College. However, as a Jew, he has a natural business acumen. If he studies hard, he will definitely be fine if he gets a doctorate.

But he didn't.

He started reselling medicines while he was studying and became a millionaire during his school years.

(Even now, students in medical schools who want to make a lot of money start selling medicines during college. I knew this when I was in East China University. It's so amazing.)

Hammer has become rich, but he is obviously not satisfied. As a Jew, he has a keen sense of smell and has courage to surpass ordinary people.

That's why he dared to go to the Soviet Union shortly after the October Revolution, where he met the great mentor Lenin, and started trade in the Red Soviet Union.

He brought the medicine to the Soviet Union for sale, and then bought many works of art from the Tsarist Russian era inexpensively back to the United States. Over the years, he had accumulated huge wealth.

It can be said that Hammer is an authentic American slander.

Now, when he heard that British assets would jump off buildings and sell them out, he quickly figured out a big business that even a large international investment bank like Morgan dared not think about.

This big business requires the president to pass. Although he made a lot of money, he still did not have much fame and did not climb to the top and big family. Now, it has been the first time President Roosevelt has taken five minutes to meet him.

When Hammer walked in, Roosevelt was looking down at the documents without even raising his head. He was very busy: "If you have anything to do, just say it."

"Mr. President, you have forgotten one thing. In the era of World War I, Britain owed us debts and has not paid off yet." Hammer decided to pick up the most impactful one.

Sure enough, after hearing Hammer's words, Roosevelt raised his head and looked at him, no longer looking at the documents: "So, what do you want to say?"

Of course, Roosevelt knew that Britain still owed a large amount of debts from the United States, so he just didn't mention it. Now he rented the British weapons and equipment. Britain has no money, so where can I find funds to pay off old debts?

During World War I, the United States later joined the war, and at the same time, the United States also provided a lot of assistance to various European countries.

After the war, statistics were conducted that in 1925, Britain owed US$5 billion in war debts, and Britain paid them back for many years. Until now, Britain still owed US$3.5 billion but has not been paid.

Always owe debts is not a big deal, so the United States passed the Johnson Act in 1934, stipulating that any country that has not paid off its debts in the war will never be able to get a penny from the United States.

In fact, this bill is mainly aimed at the UK.

This bill has not been fully complied with. For example, Italy has received the generosity of the United States to reduce half of its debts. As for Germany, it has even received a large dollar investment, and France has also been greatly exempted from debts.

Britain is an empire that never sets, the United States is an emerging country, and the United States is afraid of Britain, otherwise, there would be no rainbow plan.

The Johnson Act and the Neutral Act made the United States highly unable to directly aid Britain in World War II, and Roosevelt was also trapped here.

Now, when I heard Hammer mention this, of course it was just a wedge, and the content behind it was the main one.

"I don't think Britain can afford to pay US$3.5 billion first, but the war is burning money. Therefore, Britain can only revitalize its assets to offset US debt."

Hammer's words made Roosevelt frown. This is the same as saying nothing. Now he asks the UK to sell the company at a low price. Isn't it just to revitalize assets to pay off debts?

Hammer certainly wouldn't waste five minutes, and he spoke very quickly: "I think it's not enough for Britain to sell companies just to do. Don't they have a large number of colonial territories? Isn't it better to use those territories to pay off their debts?"

When Roosevelt heard this, he was shocked. Could it be that the secret was leaked? The issue of Canada's ownership has spread?

Roosevelt almost ordered the intelligence agency to investigate the people in front of him. How did he know?

Fortunately, Hammer, who spoke quickly, has continued to say: "But it is not in our interest to rule the colonies directly, because rule requires cost. Instead of selling as big a stall as England, it is better to sell products to these places, anyway, to make money. In many cases, renting is more appropriate than owning."

Hearing this, Roosevelt breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the person in front of him didn't know about Canada, he was just talking.

Indeed, the United States does not need to rule the various colonies in large quantities, and the cost is very high. Except for the directly adjacent Canada, the United States does not need to rule other places.

It is better to sell goods directly.

"For example, Honduras, Falkland Islands, Guyana, some islands on the coast of Newfoundland, etc. We can rent these areas and establish military bases. The rent is of course deducted from the British debt. Mr. President, what do you think of this proposal?"

Hearing Hammer's words, Roosevelt felt his heartbeat, and suddenly it accelerated. What a great idea! 89
