Chapter 283 Christmas Eve II
Subtitle of this chapter: Prepare to change the map
At this time, our Master Yuan was not in the car, nor did he arrive at the Consulate General of the Republic of China in New York.
On the afternoon of Christmas Eve, he took his two female companions to Mr. George F. Baker's house to pay New Year's greetings... Well, a visit. There was an informal party in the Baker family's mansion, which was dedicated to hosting relatives and friends.
He can now be regarded as a friend of the Baker family.
Yuan Yanshu was still very grateful to this big capitalist. Mr. Baker can really be regarded as his "noble man". To be honest, it was really thanks to the intentional or unintentional care of this "Wall Street Miracle" without his care, Master Yuan's "magnificent plan" could not be discussed.
Of course, people also help him with it because he has value. But if a person has no value worth using, why should others, especially such financial tycoons, help him?
Mr. Baker, the old man introduced in an admiring tone: "George, this young man is Neo-Yuan, who I mentioned to you."
The middle-aged man who looked very similar to him, with a kind smile, stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. Yuan. I am George frederick-Baker. My father praised you very much. At that time, I thought that the young people he could value must have something unique."
"And I have read your novels, especially "Song of Ice and Fire", and have become your loyal reader. Today I am very happy to have this opportunity to meet you, a great writer!"
This person is Mr. Baker's only son at present. His elder brother, Mr. Louis Baker's father, passed away in 1900.
The middle name of frederick made Master Yuan realize one thing. The Baker family was originally German. No wonder Mr. Baker, although he played for Morgan, became a close friend and golfer with Rockefeller.
George F. Baker Jr. also followed his father to serve at First National Bank. He was just an "ordinary employee" at the beginning, but because of his "smart mind" and "work hard", he was unanimously "recognized" as the most promising young man. He naturally became his father's right-hand man, and in the future...well, he will actually be the next head of the Baker family.
At least on the surface, George Little was impeccable and comparable to his father. When the country needed him, he would stand up for his country and before World War I, he served as the chairman of the Preparatory Committee for the US Navy's Reserve Rapid War Tanks. In World War I, he ignored the enemy submarines all over the Atlantic Ocean and resolutely went to the Italian Red Cross as a lieutenant colonel. He also won the medal awarded by the Italian king.
Mr. George Baker is over fifty years old, but his body shape is still good. He looks as strong as an athlete but not as beautiful as a betel. In fact, he has always been the main player of the New York Speedboat Club. Hi, what kind of cars are the real rich people playing with? Of course, they are playing yachts.
Our Master Yuan did not dare to neglect. He had a humble smile on his face and stepped forward to hold the other person's hand and said, "Mr. Baker, it is actually my honor to know you."
"By the way, this is my friends Miss Lilian Gishch and Miss Ainukka Rochelle..."
"As for "Song of Ice and Fire"..." Master Yuan winked at Miss Aiuka, who was beside him, who took out a beautifully decorated book from a big kun bag. "This is the complete book of "Game of Thrones", including the part that has not been published later. It is my Christmas gift, I hope you like it."
That's right, he prepared a lot of "Song of Ice and Fire" as Christmas gifts. Giving books is elegant and cost-effective, and it is really suitable for him.
"Oh, this gift is really great!" The other party took it in surprise, then pondered for a while and took out a business card, "Mr. Yuan, this is my business card. You can ask me if you have anything to do."
Wow, this is a great gift. Old George is about to retire, so some things are naturally not convenient. Now he has been linked with little George again. If he doesn't talk about other things, it's always possible to borrow tens of thousands of dollars to spend money if he doesn't have money.
So Yuan Yan suddenly took the business card in fear and trepidation and said sincerely.
"Okay, George, please entertain two beautiful ladies. I want to go to the study and talk to Neo."
"Yes, father."
As he said that, Mr. Baker took Master Yuan into the study on the second floor. As soon as the two sat down, the big capitalist said straight to the point: "Neo, Mr. Hughes wrote back to me. He appreciated your suggestions very much, and in the letter, he also said that you coincide with him and Mr. Harding."
Mr. Hughes, whom he mentioned, was Charles Evans Hughes, the next Secretary of State for the Republican government, and was actually also the agent of Mobil Oil. The suggestion Yuan Yanshu made to him through Mr. Old Baker was...
Convene a worldwide disarmament conference!
Well, in fact, they had this idea. To be more precise, there are two major things that have not been resolved in the Versailles Conference. One is about the naval forces of various countries, and the other is the conflict of interest between the great powers in the Far East Pacific, especially in China. That is why the Washington Naval Conference will be held at the end of next year.
In this way, his actions would not be considered a change of history, and there was no s value at all. Instead, he won the praise of the next Secretary of State and President Harding.
In fact, our Master Yuan had this plan for a long time, and he also had such a suitable referee as Mr. George Baker. So after he was discharged from the hospital, he asked Mr. Baker to forward the proposal for him.
Mr. Baker continued: "So, he wrote to ask if you can go to Washington, and he would like to ask you in person what you think about the situation in the Far East."
"It is my honor to be able to make a small contribution to world peace. But..."
Don’t be too polite to be with such an old fox. Yuan Yan quickly agreed, but he still had a lot of things and had not finished his doctoral thesis. So after discussing it, the two decided that he would go to Washington to be the personal advisor to the Secretary of State in March next year.
Seeing or not seeing or not seeing or not, this is what the lip-mouthed time traveler should do!
If a time traveler cannot roughly hold the throat of the historical trend, then he should understand the historical trend, use the historical trend, and finally change history gracefully.
