This conversation was much easier than the last time, because the two of them were already familiar with each other and both were time travelers, which also brought them a lot closer.

Anderson was not in a hurry to talk about the serious matters, but first talked about the negotiations, saying: "I really didn't expect that this negotiation would break down. Japanese and Russian politicians are really dereliction of duty."

Li Sanjie said: "They are unwilling to pay the war reparations, so what can I do? I can only fight again."

Anderson said: "It's so difficult that they don't know. Once the war starts again, their losses will be greater than the compensation now?"

Li Sanjie laughed and said, "Didn't you read the newspaper yesterday? Britain and France have announced their participation in the war, so Japan and Russia do not think they will lose, but they still have the expectation of a war turnaround."

Anderson snorted and said, "Silly, what if Britain and France participate in the war? Isn't it the result of losing the same thing?"

Li Sanjie said: "It seems that you have great confidence in us."

Anderson said: "If it was the army, there might be a little chance, but Britain and France participated in the war, only the navy. Your five modern warships that have crossed over should still be useful, right? In fact, if you don't need to fight together, you can defeat the British and French fleets with just one Kunming ship. Therefore, it can be said that Britain, France, Japan and Russia have no chance at all."

Li Sanjie said: "Because you are a time traveler, you can make such a judgment, but Britain, France, Japan and Russia do not see it this way. They are probably full of confidence at this time. People in this era probably don't see it this way. Except for us, everyone thinks that we will definitely lose. It is also quite the same as you."

Anderson shook, "To use your famous saying in the old time and space, 'If you don't commit suicide, you won't die. Now Britain, France, Japan and Russia are all trying to die on their own."

Li Sanjie smiled and said, "No one can stop them from committing their own death, but for you, there is a chance to make a fortune right in front of you. Don't you plan to seize it?"

Anderson was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, and said, "Are you referring to the bonds you issued in the United States?"

Li Sanjie said: "Yes, my government issued bonds worth 30 million pounds in the United States, which is about 145 million US dollars in US dollars. Now it has basically been bought. Therefore, even if the bonds fluctuate in value, it will not cost us much, but for you, if you control it well, you should be able to make a fortune from it."

In fact, Anderson is also a very smart person. After coming to this era, he is actually good at using stocks, bonds and other financial means to create wealth. Now nearly half of their wealth is obtained in the financial market. However, he is now an ordinary rich man in the United States and has little influence in politics. Therefore, he lacks information on international politics. Before the tripartite negotiations, he did not know that Britain and France participated in the war and were full of optimism about this negotiation. Even if it was Japan, Russia repeatedly emphasized before the negotiations that there would be no compensation, but in Anderson's view it was just a strategy of negotiations and would surrender in the end. He did not consider that the failure of the negotiations was the matter, but Li Sanjie immediately understood this reminder, thought about it, and then nodded, saying, "This is indeed a good opportunity. I also bought 300,000 yuan for your bonds."

Li Sanjie said: "I don't know if Mr. Anderson is not convenient to tell us how much money can you put out this time?"

Anderson calculated again and said, "We can still give out $500,000, up to $800,000."

Li Sanjie said: "If we invest 3 million US dollars, you will eventually hand us a bond worth $6 million, which is twice the return, and the rest is yours. Are you sure?"

Anderson calculated it in his mind and said, "Yes, but if you can invest $5 million, I can promise to return the bonds worth $12 million to you. I wonder if you dare to invest this one."

Li Sanjie said: "Are you so sure?"

Anderson nodded and smiled, "In fact, the way to make money is not just bonds, but also a good way, which is casinos. Before the war started, many casinos in the United States offered odds for the war. Therefore, after the war started again, there will definitely be casinos who offered odds, and they will definitely buy you and lose. This is not a good opportunity to make money."

After hearing this, Li Sanjie nodded frequently. This is also a way to make money, because gambling in the United States is legally operated, so he said: "Okay, I will report your request to the country, but you'd better come up with a detailed plan, which is more convincing in our country. As long as our Executive Yuan thinks your plan is indeed feasible, I think it's possible to accept your request."

Moreover, the ratio of USD to pound in this era is 4.8:1.5 million US dollars is worth about 1 million pounds. Although the East China government still has huge war expenses, it can still be withdrawn by more than 1 million pounds. Moreover, according to Anderson's promise, the return can reach 12 million US dollars, and the return rate reaches nearly 2.5 times, which is quite considerable. Therefore, as long as Anderson's plan is feasible, the East China government will accept it.

Anderson said: "Okay, I'll start writing a report right after I go back."

When talking about this step, both sides were very satisfied. Although neither of them mentioned the establishment of a cooperative relationship, they had actually started cooperation. Moreover, the level of cooperation this time was just right, which was deeper than general pure economic cooperation, but it did not reach the level of in-depth cooperation. However, as the first cooperation between the two sides, it is very suitable. As long as this cooperation is successful, the trust and cooperation basis of both parties will increase, and in-depth cooperation in the future will be a natural thing.

However, the negotiating delegation will return to China soon. Of course, after Li Sanjie returns to China, the East China government will definitely send a special person to contact Anderson. Before that, Li Sanjie appointed Gu Kai to maintain contact with Anderson.

Although this negotiation has no result, on the other hand, the economic and trade groups have achieved good results in the United States. During this period, the economic and trade groups frequently met with American business giants, financial oligarchs, capital tycoons, and went to business banquets, shopping and dance parties, and organized two exhibitions to widely publicize the East China government's Northeast Development Plan and Investment Promotion Plan.

The United States' industrial and commercial sector is very interested in the East China government's plan, not only because the Northeast does have great development value, but also many American companies hope to develop the Northeast and expand their business territory in China.

Now when the United States is officially investing, a large amount of international capital is pouring into the US market. At this time, the system and regulation of the US financial market are quite imperfect, so a large amount of capital flowing into the US into the stock market, causing the stock market to rise. However, smart economists know that this is by no means a good phenomenon. Capital must flow into the market to be completely digested, but a massive amount of capital must have a sufficient market to attract and accommodate. Although the United States itself is a huge market, it is not enough to attract such a huge capital. Now the East China government has provided a very large market, which naturally attracts American capital.

Although the tripartite talks eventually broke down and Britain and France have announced their participation in the war, the enthusiasm of US capital for investing in Northeast China has not decreased much, and still frequently holds talks with delegations of the East China government to sign a cooperation intention. Because capital is not afraid of war. Sometimes the more severe the war is, the more capital accumulates. First, the war itself is a huge consumption, and after it is ruined, it needs to be rebuilt, which is also a huge business opportunity. At the same time, it also weakens the control of local governments and is more conducive to the development of capital. Second, it is precisely because of the threat of war that capital can make as much profit as possible in the game with the East China government. If the war is over, it will definitely be much more difficult to enter the East China government market.

However, although capital does not refuse to film war, capital must operate and flow through agents, and war still poses a considerable threat to capital agents. It cannot help but face the danger of losing all investment and killing death. But this is not a big problem in the United States, because the United States is a paradise for adventurers now. As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. In this era, there has never been a shortage of people who dare to take risks and gamble. This is also an important reason why the trade delegation of the East China government is sought after in the United States.

As a result, the trade group signed a cooperation intention agreement worth about US$60 million in the United States. There were a small number of companies planning to make a small investment immediately. Some companies also sent their own business representatives to Qingdao with the delegation to discuss the details of the investment and inspect the investment environment. Therefore, they were also full of return.

So on the last day of January, the East China government delegation boarded the train in New York and drove towards San Francisco, officially embarking on the journey of return.

On the same day, the UK provided Japan with a low-interest loan of 50 million pounds, requiring the Japanese government to organize 20 divisions in 6 months to fight together after the British and French joint fleet arrived in the Far East. The Japanese government naturally would not refuse. The French government also provided Russia with an interest-free loan of 500 million francs and a low-interest loan of 1.2 billion francs to Russia. This loan was converted to about 70 million pounds and 650 million rubles. It would not allow Russia to completely stabilize its domestic economy and have enough funds to launch a war again. Russia also agreed to invest 300,000 troops into the Far East within 6 months to cooperate with the troops of Britain and France.

In addition, in order to stabilize Germany in Europe, Britain and France also decided to make concessions to Germany on the Moroccan issue, not only recognizes Moroccan independence, but also recognizes Germany's most-favored-nation interests in Morocco, and participates in supervising the establishment of Morocco's finances and the state bank.
