The three of them did not buy Lin Mo's words of comfort. Only then did the three of them clearly feel what it means to be a weak country, that is, others would not even suspect you in the first place.
There was silence in the room for a long time before Lin Zhenming interrupted the silence and asked with an ugly face: "Lin Mo, by investing in the United States like this, aren't you looking down on China and planning to move the Lin family there?"
Lin Mo was speechless after hearing this. He felt that his fourth uncle's imagination was really...
However, seeing his second and third uncles also casting inquiring glances, Lin Mo had no choice but to smile bitterly and explain: "Fourth uncle, your idea is too outrageous!"
"How could I move the Lin family to the United States? The United States now has a Chinese Exclusion Act. If I go there, I won't even be a second-class person. How could I go to a place like that?"
"Even if something happens in the future and the Lin family wants to leave China, I will not take you to those white countries in Europe and America. I don't even want to go to other places. At most, I will take you to the surrounding places where Chinese people gather."
"As for those investments in the United States, Uncle Fourth, perhaps the word speculation is more appropriate, and it will not make you confused."
"The reason why I chose the United States is because it is far away from places where war may break out. On the one hand, it is safer to put money here."
"On the other hand, my family is speculating in industries related to the war, just to speculate and get a share of the pie."
"Besides, these plans of mine are only in the early stage, and the mid-term and late stages have not been revealed yet!"
"The mid-term plan is that once the war is about to end, the Lin family will sell all their shares, take the money and leave. How can they care about their life and death?"
"As for later plans, I don't have any plans yet. I have to see how the situation develops before I can make a decision."
After Lin Zhende and the other three listened, they still didn't understand. Lin Mo was preparing to make a war fortune, and the plans mentioned before were just serving this purpose.
Although the doubts in his heart were answered, Lin Zhenming was still very uncomfortable with Lin Mo's behavior.
So Lin Zhenming said: "Lin Mo, isn't this bad? This money is covered in blood."
Lin Mo listened and said directly: "Fourth uncle, we can't change things like war. What should happen will eventually happen, and what should come will eventually come."
"The same goes for this money. It just sits there. If we don't take it, others will still take it. Rather than giving others an advantage, it's better for our Lin family to take it!"
"At least when our Lin family takes the money, it is our own people who benefit, not those guys who can't tell the difference between friends and foes."
After Lin Mo finished speaking, Lin Zhentao spoke directly: "Lin Mo, the United States and Japan are engaged in trade. Will the things we produce go to Japan?"
Lin Mo heard the worry in Lin Zhentao's tone. After thinking about it carefully, he comforted him: "Uncle San, you don't have to worry too much about this. Most of what the Japanese import are raw materials. Our family invests in these."
Most of the places produce final products.”
"Besides, the Japanese are not as rich as you think. They are able to maintain their current economy only if they are not engaged in a major war."
"If we start a full-scale war with the Japanese, the funds in the hands of the Japanese will not last long, and they will be consumed by the war. Who will sell to them at that time?"
Lin Mo has no doubt about this, because Lin Mo has seen some reports in his previous life, that is, when the United States issued an embargo against Japan, the foreign exchange, gold and silver in the hands of the Japanese had basically been consumed.
After listening to Lin Mo's comfort, Lin Zhentao was still a little worried, so he asked: "Lin Mo, is there anything you can do? It can help Japan get less things."
Lin Mo heard this, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Uncle Third, I really have this, I just want to find a way to raise the price of raw materials imported by the Japanese."
"But we can't do this now. At least we have to wait until this matter is over and we have a lot of money before we can do this."
"I have two ways to do this. One is to lobby American companies that export raw materials to Japan to increase the prices of these raw materials, or even let them only accept foreign exchange and gold and silver from the Japanese."
"However, this method requires at least the Lin family's power to gain a firm foothold in the United States before it can be implemented."
"Another way is for us to snap up these raw materials with Japan to push up the prices of these things."
"The raw materials imported by Japan are mainly steel from the United States, as well as rubber and oil from Southeast Asia."
"I don't recommend messing with steel. After all, you can produce it by increasing the production capacity. You can just buy what you need."
"We can do something about rubber and petroleum. We can also use these two things in our own country, and we won't lose much money if we make them."
"Besides, our place is better away from the place of production. We can just cut it off halfway. When the time comes, we can buy it and transport it directly to the rear. The Japanese can't do anything about us."
"But it is impossible for the Lin family alone to raise the price much. After all, we are facing a country, and we cannot use too much funds. It is best to find a group of people from China to work together."
As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Lin Zhende smiled bitterly and said: "Lin Mo, your last idea is impossible to implement. These people will not follow in a loss-making business."
Lin Mo listened and said with a smile: "Second uncle, this is not necessarily a loss-making business, it may even make a lot of money."
"Just like rubber, this thing has more than just these uses. As long as we use our minds to expand the uses of rubber and make more products, rubber will not fall into our hands."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing what Lin Mo said, Lin Zhende suddenly became interested and asked: "Then tell us quickly, where else can this rubber be used?
"
Lin Mo heard this, thought for a moment, and said, "Uncle Third, there are so many places here, I will tell you some."
"Rubber has very good elasticity. This characteristic can be used for many things. Just like the trousers worn by ordinary people in China, many do not use belts. Most of them are tied with straw ropes, leather strips, or even directly wrapped around the trousers."
"These methods are very inconvenient, so we can produce thin rubber bands and provide them to these people to use as trousers."
"Because the rubber is elastic, it can not only be worn reliably, but also very convenient to put on and take off."
"Although rubber is not cheap, a thin rubber band doesn't use much rubber at all, so don't worry that ordinary people can't afford it."
"Although each person doesn't use it much, there are tens of millions of people in our country. How many sticks are used by one person is a very scary amount, not to mention that it is not the only use."
Next, Lin Mo told everyone about the slingshot rubber bands, hair-tying rubber bands, rubber shoes, and other things that Lin Mo could think of that would be used daily in the future.
Lin Mo's narration immediately stunned the three of them. They really didn't expect that this rubber could have so many uses. They were so shocked that they couldn't even speak.
After the three of them regained their composure, Lin Mo didn't wait for the three of them to speak, and continued: "Second uncle, third uncle and fourth uncle, these things still consume a small amount of rubber, and the tires are the big one."
“Although we don’t have many cars and trucks in our country, aren’t tires the only ones that can be used by cars and trucks?”
"Our domestic bullock carts, horse-drawn carts, and carts now basically use wooden wheels, which are not only difficult to use, but also very easy to break."
"We can produce iron wheels and then put a solid rubber wheel on the outside. Although the price will be a bit high, it is durable and not easy to break. There will definitely be a big market."
"In addition, we can also produce bicycles! Bicycles are also made of rubber, and the production technology is not difficult. We can still produce them ourselves."
"Although bicycles are not cheap, they are much cheaper than cars. What's more, they don't have to worry about the road. They can be used on alleys and even dirt roads in the countryside. This will definitely sell a lot of bicycles."
"Besides, we can also modify the tricycle and add some things so that it can carry cargo, which will make it even more attractive."
"Or like a three-wheeled rickshaw, the seats at the back can be converted into a body, which can also be used to transport things. That will definitely be very attractive to vendors."
"Second uncle, third uncle and fourth uncle, these things are all new things that can be used in life, and they are suitable for daily use by many people. In addition, there are many people in our country. Once they are made, the market will be huge and the consumption will be very large.
big."
"Now the rubber trees in the world are limited, and the output is also limited. By then we can consume rubber in daily life and prevent the Japanese from using it for military purposes. Our goal will be achieved."
"Since this thing is profitable, we can use the same principle as the projector rental I proposed before, and set up a few small sample factories to attract countless people to participate."
"No..." As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Lin Zhende immediately objected and said: "Since there is profit to be made, how can we only open a few small factories? If we want to open a few big factories,
And it needs to be started immediately.”
Hearing this, Lin Mo asked with some confusion: "Second uncle, isn't our family's money going to be used to speculate in silver? Where will we get the money to open a factory immediately?"
"Hey...you don't really think that your family will invest all their money in that kind of place, do you?"
Lin Mo listened and shook his head and said: "I definitely don't believe it! But don't you even want to vote for the projector? Why do you want to vote now?"
Lin Zhende heard this and said with a smile: "Does that need to be said? I must be disdainful of the projector business! Otherwise, what else could it be?"
Lin Zhende's words almost made Lin Mo angry and vomited blood. As for what he said so clearly? At least find an excuse to explain it away?
