[065] On Todd Agreement

That night, the sales volume of the Washington Post supplement also exceeded 50. Mr. Todd, the former governor of Alaska, became a hero in the hearts of most Americans!Being able to use the weak development rights to get 350 million US dollars from the hands of the Germans is comparable to the fact that the United States bought Louisiana from Napoleon back then!

(The agreement that sold Alaska's 99-year mineral development rights is also known as the "Todd Agreement". Later American historians studied and analyzed that the rise of ZTE in the United States at the end of the 19th century was due to the "Todd Agreement", which was praised at the time. Todd Agreement! In later generations, countless Americans lamented that Todd became the most unpopular surname in the United States.)

Okay, let's put aside the chaos and return to the topic.

Of course, while Todd is being praised, there are also a small number of people who think that giving Chinese immigration rights is a flaw in Todd's "deal", because Alaska is about to become a state, and these Chinese immigrants will become just like them. American citizens!This made these people, whose sense of racial superiority was extremely inflated after the announcement of the "Chinese Exclusion Act", feel very uncomfortable!

But these are small waves in the big waves, after a few splashes, no one pays attention.

As if to verify Todd's 'greatness', on May 5th, President Harrison held a press conference at the White House, acknowledging the legality of Alaska's 'mineral development rights', and urged Schmidt Mining Company to disclose its sales records for the convenience of the country. Tax!

Regardless of whether Alaska is rich in minerals or not, since the mining of minerals is out of the question, it is also good to collect an insignificant tax, disgusting and disgusting, this Canadian mining company!Harrison thought maliciously in his heart.

On May 5th, Schmidt held his second personal press conference in Portland. At the meeting, Schmidt first emphasized that Alaska was not as rich as he expected. - Alaska Mining Subcontracting Conference!

Schmidt announced that Schmidt Mining Company will cut and subcontract all the land in Alaska except the Longyi Gold Mine, and each company registered in the United States only needs to pay a token amount to Schmidt Mining Company Xing's license fee can be used to develop minerals on the contracted land. If the income is obtained, Schmidt Mining Company promises to only account for [-]%.

Speaking of this, the reporter asked very interestingly: Mr. Schmidt, is this subcontract meeting the first step for your company to save itself?

Schmidt: Self-help is certain. The company has not paid salaries to employees in northern Alaska for two months. The severe cold weather there makes the daily expenses a huge expense, and the weapons of the guards are consumed. It also increased the burden on the company!Subcontracting is a helpless move to minimize losses.

The reporter asked again: Why is the qualification to participate in the subcontracting meeting limited to companies registered in the United States?Can this be understood as your company trying to curry favor with the federal government?

Schmidt nodded: I am German, and the place of registration of the company is Canada. Our original intention is to avoid taxation reasonably, but because the Hunter case is very big, we are worried that the government of your country will take improper restrictive measures against us. , Therefore, this subcontract meeting is also a way for our company to express friendship to the government of your country.The mines we dug in Alaska and the benefits we obtained are willing to share with American businessmen.

This reporter stepped down (in fact, he was pushed down), and another reporter stepped up and said: The federal government of the United States is a fair, just, free and harmonious government. Mr. Schmidt, on behalf of the people of our country, Your unfounded guess reserves the right to sue.

Schmidt shrugged, and said: If I judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, I apologize!We are a legitimate company, and I am also a normal businessman. I do not deny that I hope to make money, but I definitely have no original intention of taking advantage of the United States!

Reporter: Mr. Schmidt, when and where will this mineral subcontracting meeting be held?Are there any specific requirements for companies participating in subcontracting?For example, do I need to have certain mining qualifications?Or have a certain economic strength?

Schmidt said: Time is tight. The Alaska Mining Subcontracting Conference, after discussions with the company's senior management, decided to hold it in Portland a week later!There are no special requirements for companies participating in subcontracting, as long as they are legally registered in the United States and pay taxes to the US government, we welcome them all!

Schmidt's second press conference ended successfully, and the reporters ran all the way to the telegraph office again. This time, there were many more reporters than the first time!Newspaper giants in New York, Washington, and Chicago all sent people to Portland by train day and night.The Portland Telegraph Office tasted the taste of the original Anchorage Telegraph Office. It was full, crowded, and disorderly. There were reporters waving papers and banknotes everywhere. The staff of the Telegraph Office were happy and afraid, working hard.

On the second day, the news that Schmidt was going to hold a mineral subcontracting meeting spread to dozens of major cities in the United States. Business tycoons, almost laughed their cigars into their mouths!Hahaha, crappy Jewish Ph. D., just study stones in the university. You have to take a gamble like others. 500 million dollars were invested in the barren land of Alaska, and a large number of Chinese were hired. Pay back the cost?

Subcontract meeting?What idiot is going to pick up your crappy dishes?Haha, the Jews have finally got a bad business too, and at the next party, you can laugh at Marcus Goldman who sells clothes and the Lehman brothers who sell cotton to your heart's content!

Here is a brief introduction to the financial situation in the United States. The United States is an emerging capitalist country, and the upper mainstream people are all descendants of European royal families and nobles. Today, the financial or economic pulse of the United States is mainly controlled by two forces!

One is the wasp family (wasp), literally translated as whites, Anglo-Saxons and Protestants. They dominate the politics, economy and society of the United States, and they are the race at the top of the pyramid.The famous Rockefeller, Morgan, and the yet-to-be-born Buffett, Gates, and Obama all belong to this category.

The other is the Jewish consortium called 'our crowd'. Compared with the Wasps, our crowd is a new force, mainly represented by Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs, Kuhn Loeb, etc. Bank investors, their behind-the-scenes agents (or handles) are the famous Rothschild family in Europe.Their real rise came at the beginning of the 20th century. After monopolizing the power of the American broadcasting media, they gradually entered the political arena and competed with the Hornets.

In the current year of 1891, we were just a group of financial speculators, taking advantage of the aura of the Rothschild family, occupying Wall Street, buying low and selling high, calling the shots in the banking industry and stock market futures, but when it comes to Politics is no match for the Hornets!

Most of the business giants who laughed at Schmidt were the Hornets. They were very disgusted with the Jewish banking consortiums like Lehman Brothers, which had suddenly emerged as upstarts, or they were jealous of the other party's quick money in the financial market. In short, Shi As an immigrant Jew, although he has not been to New York officially, he has been naturally classified by the Hornets as part of our group.
