Romanian Eagle

The 497th chapter of the United States (2)

"I'm glad I can stand here today, America is a rich and hospitable country, and I felt enough enthusiasm for the few days I was here. It makes me feel that the two countries are very close, Romania is also a beautiful place, there With hard-working people and abundant resources, the economic exchanges between our two countries are also increasing day by day. From the initial investment of Standard Oil in Romania, all walks of life can now see the manifestation of American capital in Romania.”

"I think there is a need to strengthen cooperation between the two countries. Romania has a population of nearly 30 million (more than 25 million, rounding up to nearly 30 million people) and a territory of more than 400,000 square kilometers. In this country It is rich in oil, coal, iron, gold and other resources, all of which require the Romanian government to invest a lot of funds to develop, and our country's financial development of these resources is still in the initial stage, requiring a lot of foreign funds to develop more effectively these resources."

"And your country happens to have these funds. As far as I know, your country is currently hoarding a large amount of funds with no investment direction. Think about it, my country lacks funds to develop resources, and your country has a large amount of funds that have no investment direction. It seems to me that the two countries can complement each other. Your country has made enough profits from its investment in our country, and our country has developed and grown in it, and it can better resist the invasion of the capital world by the red plague. It's totally a win-win result."

In Congress, Eder stood on the podium to American lawmakers rhetorically about the lucrative prospects of investing in Romania.

Regarding the current domestic capital accumulation in the United States, Eder combined his past life memories and recent investigations to find that the accumulation is really very serious. The Americans who made a fortune in the European war, after making huge profits, do not have enough investment environment at all. At present, the capital of the United States can only be invested in domestic and South America, and these places cannot accommodate these huge funds.

This is why the Dawes plan later brought a large amount of American capital into Germany, helping it to quickly restore the economy. And even the Soviet Union, the Americans also intend to enter. In the final analysis, it is still the domestic excess of capital, and we need to find a vent. The defeated Germany, the socialist Soviet Union, and the Republic of China with frequent wars, these are all options. Europe and its colonies are inaccessible, these are the only options available.

Edel's speech obviously aroused the interest of many congressmen, more precisely the interest of the capital behind it.

"Your Majesty the King, we all know what you said, but can you be more specific?"

In the face of this congressman's divine assist, Eder is of course willing to be satisfied.

"At present, Romania needs a lot of capital for infrastructure, such as ports, roads, waterways, etc. In addition, it also needs a lot of investment in light industries such as textiles and food that are related to people's livelihood. Of course, if you are not familiar with these aspects, If you don't want to enter rashly, my country will also issue five to fifteen years of government bonds, and the lowest annual interest rate can reach 5.5%.

High can reach 10%. "

This is Edel's main purpose to sell government bonds, and this interest rate is also a comprehensive reference to the Dawes plan. And Romania is not a defeated Germany. I believe the capitalists behind Romania must have fully understood the repayment ability of Romania.

For Edel's answer, the congressman who asked the question nodded, expressing his satisfaction with the answer.

Of course not everything is so beautiful, then a sudden voice sounded.

"King Edel, so this time your country is here to sell government bonds? As far as I know, most of the more profitable industries in your country are controlled by your government and the royal family. How can this guarantee that our country will invest in it? funds to earn the profit he wants?"

Edel followed the voice, and it was a bald congressman who asked this topic. Following his questioning, many congressmen could not help frowning. State-owned and royally-held companies are too foreign to the United States, and they have an instinctive aversion to government meddling in the economy.

Faced with this acute local question, Edel knew that if the answer was not good, it would have a great impact on the purpose of the visit, but fortunately he was prepared.

"Member, thank you Your Excellency for raising this question. Before explaining this issue, I need to explain that this is a legacy issue. Romania did not want the government or myself to control the country's economy in the first place. This is an opportunity. Coincidental result. At that time, domestic capital was weak and insufficient to support economic development, so the government and the royal family had to take the lead in developing heavy industry first to play a leading role. And just after the initial development, it encountered the European war, the result Let it grow even stronger, so that domestic capital is completely unable to take over."

Edel's words caught the eyes of many congressmen. Its domestic capital cannot take over, so is foreign capital feasible?

Those who have a quick response will immediately blurt out. "King Edel, what do you mean?"

"Yes, if someone is willing to pay a reasonable price, then these high-quality assets are not impossible to sell some shares."

Edel said what these people thought. The experience of later generations has already told him what to do if he sells some shares. 49% of the shares only have the right to supervise, and the controlling power is in my hands, so there is no way to take me. And you can also take the opportunity to cash out some funds to invest in other fields, which is not too perfect. If you want to recover your shares when necessary, if you want to expand your investment, can an individual compare capital with the state?

This is also the reason why Edel did not sell shares to the country. If the domestic capitalists were cheated, the result would not be so wonderful.

The young American capitalists who didn't understand these riotous operations, faced Edel's words, some breathing increased. From their point of view, Romanian Petroleum Corporation, Volkswagen, Ploiesti Machinery Plant, Lviv Steel Corporation, etc. are all attractive fruits, and no one wants to win these companies and ride on Romania's rapid development. .

So when Edel threw out this surprise, the members of Parliament Hill immediately became lively, without the restraint of the congressman, just like the vegetable market. It wasn't until the head of the council couldn't look at it and knocked on the table several times before it became quiet.

And Edel's speech on Capitol Hill was praised by the newspapers the next day. Many editor-in-chiefs, who didn't even know where Romania was, praised him as a visionary king who would surely bring a prosperous life to the Romanian people.

And these reports, after Edel met with President Coolidge, more.
