Chapter 498 Sitting on the Shore and Watching the Tiger Fight
While talking, Andrew Mellon and John Rockefeller Jr. walked side by side, smiling and toasting Roosevelt.
"Franklin, your speeches in Iowa and New Hampshire were brilliant, and I think you've won them all by then."
Andrew Mellon said politely that the Iowa and New Hampshire he mentioned may be relatively unfamiliar to ordinary people.
But they have been the choice for holding the first party caucuses of a bipartisan election year.
During the presidential primary election, the size of the state and the number of people are not directly proportional to the influence of the election, but the most important thing is the date of the primary election.
The earlier the caucus date, the greater the advantage, so Iowa and New Hampshire, despite being small states, were hailed as the vane of the caucus because of the high quality of education generally available to the people. , you will know whether this election is effective for you.
At this time, they can find a reason to withdraw decisively. Although this will leave a stain, it is much more decent than losing the election.
"Thank you for your compliment. I will always remember the friendship of the Mellon family." Roosevelt laughed heartily, and raised his glass to touch him.
"Can we talk alone?" Andrew looked at the two people beside him.
"Let's talk alone." Roosevelt stretched out his hand to toggle the remote control lever on the armrest, and said before leaving, "Charlie, the banquet is great."
When watching the two leave, several secret agents in black followed from both sides, Little John said with emotion: "Time flies so fast."
"Is there?" Li Zitao joked, "Andrew won't really ask for help, will he?"
"No, he's going to buy it at Morgan's price." Little John said with a happy smile, "Look, Morgan will pay for their robbery."
cost?
Could it be that Andrew wants to team up with Roosevelt to cheat Morgan, what should he do?
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any solution, so he could only turn his eyes to Little John, hoping to get an answer from him.
"Minister of Finance." Little John finished, and left leisurely on crutches. He saw a few old friends.
Secretary of the Treasury, the post that the Mellons also wanted.
Are you kidding me, haven't you heard that ballad?
Mellon blew the whistle, Hoover rang the bell, Wall Street signaled, and America rushed to hell!
His prestige had already been damaged in the Great Depression, and Roosevelt was asking for trouble if he continued to serve as Secretary of the Treasury.
National debt...the Federal Reserve...the government provides loans... Li Zitao probably guessed what he wanted to do.
Li Zitao couldn't help but admire Andrew's big plan.
As expected of an old fox, he is scheming, this is to make Morgan vomit blood!
As for whether he can succeed, he won't suffer anyway, he just needs to sit back and watch the tigers fight and watch them fight well.
Li Zitao was still a little upset just thinking about the Fed.
Compared with them, the Federal Reserve is the one that really makes the big bucks. It is a non-profit regulatory agency and is impartial.
Hehe, go fool a fool!
At this time, some people still believe that when Roosevelt comes to power and World War II comes and ends, the public will recognize the face of the Federal Reserve.
Holding a pile of "waste paper," you can get the future financial income of the United States as a mortgage, and use the money to buy national debt, and then the money is transferred to the pockets of your own business.
This is the real trust monster, a freak that cannot be replicated in financial history.
Compared with the other party, Li Zitao is just eating leftovers, pitiful.
The most frightening thing in this world is comparison. Thinking about it this way, all the previous joy is gone.
When you can become a member of the seven members of the Federal Reserve, that is considered to be the top.
And this is not only something that can be done with money, if you have money, no matter how rich you are, can you compare to a vampire who sucks the blood of the country?
Moreover, this country is still a world power and will become a superpower in the future.
Here's the tax,
Over there, they are enjoying the interest of the national debt, and there are a lot of profits falling into their pockets. The money printing machine is fully turned on and they are not making money as fast as they are.
Sometimes he really admires those European and American financiers who created this freak, how did they come up with this idea.
"Charlie, what are you thinking?" Jonathan came to him with two glasses of wine. He has been enjoying himself recently, and his smile is brighter than flowers.
The stake in Li's Holdings has increased to 5.7%. The merger of Waldorf Astoria and Hilton Hotels is also time, and they will formally sign the agreement at the end of the month.
The shipyard has an order from Alaska Standard Oil, and the business is booming, not to mention the upcoming big cake and subsequent crazy expansion.
The loans provided by the government are not for them to keep in their pockets. All the money must be put into the market to stimulate the reactivation of the market and allow capital to circulate.
Naturally, there will be a wave of mergers and acquisitions. Small fish will eat dried shrimps, while big fish will take all. Those small businesses will either accept acquisitions or wait for bankruptcy!
Jonathan is very optimistic about the industrial machinery market, which is a highly competitive market, but it also represents unlimited possibilities.
It's time for Lee C. Astor Industrial Group to find some dry goods to fill it up. Tiantianding's empty shell sounds embarrassing.
Fortunately, the business capacity of the shipyard is not bad, it has a modern dock, excellent contracting quality, and CGT shipping company supports a bit of facade.
"It seems that you are ready." Listening to Jonathan's plan, Li Zitao was wondering how many people are ready for this wave of acquisitions.
Anyway, those small fish and shrimp were definitely not prepared. When the huge waves came up and the giant crocodiles lurked and rampaged in the water, they could only tremble.
"Your Li's real estate is not small. Do you know that they have already fought against the Chicago consortium?"
Seeing Li Zitao's blank expression, Jonathan knew that he hadn't paid attention, and continued, "Your hermit-like president is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
Of course, Habsburg is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but Li Zitao originally thought that the old man was disheartened, and he could do nothing to guard his one-acre and three-thirds of his land.
Didn't expect him to be old and strong, and suddenly become energetic again?
"After handing over the company to him, I didn't ask again. From the bottom of my heart, I treat him as my family and let him do it!"
This statement is not false at all. Although neither of them has made it clear, Li Zitao has always regarded him as a father and friend in his heart.
The old man also understood very well, otherwise how could he have said that day, after the child was born, he would call him grandfather.
Some things don't have to be said so clearly, just staying together can understand each other's thoughts.
Perhaps there is such a 'strange' connection between him and West, which is a bit weird to say, so both of them try not to mention it as much as possible to save embarrassment.
As for Li's real estate, since he was in charge, Li Zitao would not interfere.
Maybe I can get a surprise from the old man in the future, "The old guy doesn't want to leave a big property for his grandson or granddaughter, does he?"
