Chapter 238: Talking About Business with the Big Brothers

Even on a day like an engagement ceremony, business talks are indispensable.

While the guests were eating, drinking and circling around the center of the banquet hall, Li Zitao sat in the living room again.

"Charlie, your good luck makes people jealous." Little Morgan sat on the sofa, leaning against the sofa with a metal cane, took off his top hat and gently patted the dust on it.

"Yes, Lady Luck favors me so much." To be able to dig oil under the land bought for the price of cabbage does require the favor of Lady Luck.

If there is a chance, he would also like to communicate with the goddess in person, "I don't know what posture the goddess is used to, and whether she likes to drink Chunzhen."

"Hehe, you look like a young man now, full of energy." Little John smiled heartily, not forgetting to look at Little Morgan beside him with contempt.

"..." The bosses are fighting each other, and they have to drag him to the street, it's inhumane!

"Charlie, your Aegis car is impressive, and I think it will be snapped up when it goes on the market." Harvey changed the subject.

"Aegis car?" The bosses all showed interest.

The automobile industry is definitely one of the most profitable industries.

Leaving aside the fact that GM, the largest carriage manufacturing giant in the United States, stands behind it, one only needs to look at Ford to know how huge the potential of this industry is.

Li Zitao was thinking, could it be that they have already researched the Wrangler? He has been busy showing his affection these days, and he doesn't know much about the company's current situation.

"Charlie, does your company need funds to expand?" Cyrus looked at him with a smile, wanting to take the opportunity to get a share.

The crude oil that Rockefeller got from Li Zitao made the McCormick family envious. The profits in it were worth billions of dollars!

"Sorry, I don't know much about the company's current situation. We will discuss everything after we understand it!" Li Zitao resolutely dismissed their thoughts.

For what he said, everyone didn't use it as an excuse at all. Everyone in the room knew how busy he was during this time.

"Regarding the development and renovation plan of Hawaii, Washington will invite internal bidding early next month and gradually open it up. I will report Bechtel's name to it."

This matter was proposed by Little John himself, and he has been paying attention to it. He has detailed information about the military's plan to expand and strengthen Pearl Harbor.

"Wells Fargo's American Express Centurion Black Gold card idea, it looks very interesting, Charlie, maybe we should cooperate more deeply."

Compared with these things, Morgan Jr. has maintained the sensitivity and insight that should be expected of any new business in the financial field.

The elite concept put forward by Amex Centurion, focusing on providing professional, convenient, comprehensive and all-inclusive services for his wife, made him shine.

It's a pity that he didn't think of this before, and now American Express is a member of Wells Fargo.

With the foundation and reputation of American Express traveler's checks, the smoothness of its business development is beyond imagination.

Now, in less than a month, the number of people invited by AmEx to open the Centurion Black Card has risen to 300.

300 people, sounds inconspicuous.

But what if among the 300 people, the lowest net worth is hundreds of millions of dollars?

With the help of the Rothschild family's banking industry all over Europe and the long-standing good reputation of American Express Traveler's Checks, they successfully knocked on the door of the top of the pyramid.

The rich and powerful in various European countries, as well as the Jewish groups in the United States, have all become Wells Fargo Bank's black gold card customers in this short month.

Even everyone present, including Jr. Morgan, also received the metal card with the centurion of the ancient Roman Empire printed on it.

"I think you forgot that Morgan is also one of the shareholders of Wells Fargo." He wants to take advantage of everything, and wants to get some of the benefits.

Li Zitao has a deep understanding of Morgan's greed. No wonder Morgan will be criticized in later generations. As long as he co-authors, he will find ways to swallow it into his own mouth.

Hearing the unsurprising refusal to answer, Little Morgan didn't bother anymore, but calculated in his mind the 'Centurion Black Gold Card' that belonged to Morgan.

'

But JP. Morgan is not good at this field. It is not easy even for a giant like Morgan to open up a strange new field.

Such things as neglecting the other, also happen to giants from time to time.

He needs to consider it more comprehensively from the standpoint of JP Morgan, rather than himself. The consortium does not belong to him alone.

"Charlie, we need to talk about the Hoover Dam railroad, road traffic, and power circuit."

After everyone finished what they wanted to say, Sellers talked about the Hoover Dam. Future dam construction needs transportation and energy guarantees.

And he also discovered Li Zitao's little tricks, that remote town that appeared next to the Hoover Dam.

The layout inside is very simple, bars, casinos, hotels, dancers.

Cyrus seemed to see a picture of the future. After receiving their wages, the workers came to the town together to relax.

They go to the bar first, get very drunk, and then someone mentions playing two cards for luck, or finding a dancer for a good night.

So, the next morning, the workers with empty pockets left the casino and the hotel to continue their busy and hard life.

And the money they earned has already fallen into Li Zitao's pocket.

"This idea is really great, why didn't I think of it." Cyrus thought with some sighs.

It is by no means a coincidence or a fluke that this young man has been able to get to where he is today.

"My Ace and Bechtel can prepare everything at any time, as long as someone prepares the check!" Li Zitao said with a smile.

"Price?" Cyrus had a bad feeling about this before.

"Of course it's a very favorable price. I will always be sincere to my friends." Li Zitao's answer made Cyrus smile bitterly.

Sure enough, it was the same as he had guessed.

Of course Li Zitao would say that. He just promised not to make money on the Hoover Dam, but he never said that even these supporting facilities should be provided at cost price.

Ace has acquired the only coal-fired power generation company in Las Vegas. Li Zitao does not believe that under the condition of low price or the same price, Sellers will go far.

Las Vegas was established as a city in 1888, and the Nevada Gold Rush in 1905 brought a brief period of prosperity here.

But like all other gold mining towns, after the gold mining ended, the casinos and hotels there were completely closed, and it became a desolate and remote town.

When he received the news that the Hoover Dam was about to be built and asked Paul to build an "entertainment town" near the dam, Li Zitao bought the power company and land in Las Vegas.

The power company there is already in a semi-abandoned state. If it were not for the funding support from Washington, it would have closed down long ago.

As for the large amount of deserted, barren wasteland, no one cares about it. There are no more than 50 people living there, and even the mayor will not live there.

So when they learned that someone wanted to buy these rubbish, the government was very grateful and handed over the half-sold, half-gift package to him.

Although they are all aware of Washington's plan to build a dam, it is still unknown whether it can boost the economy of Las Vegas.

The reason why the government happily sold these to him at a low price was to reduce the financial pressure on the one hand, and to use his capital to promote the development of the town on the other hand.

If Las Vegas can really become prosperous, for it is surrounded by desolate desert, land is not a problem at all, and expansion is just a matter of words.
