Section 1475 3D Party Split
Now Mike doesn't like Miss Bahrain at all. When he liked this woman, he didn't like her at all, but now? This woman doesn't look at me at all. When I ask her for something, this woman will always have one or another reason, and I am very helpless about this matter. Although I am the president, the behind this woman Everything is not something I can touch, maybe I will be in trouble, but it is not a problem to do some things within the scope of my power, such as changing his subordinates by myself, so that this woman is not so eye-catching , let the people in the whole organization see clearly that he is the biggest person here. This time is what he thinks is the biggest confrontation with Miss Bahrain. He wants to see how much support he can get inside the organization. There are more people who support themselves or more people who support this woman. M (Read the novel and go there. )
"Miss Bahrain is wrong to say this. What does this mean? Does it mean that we have no confidence in our organization? Compared with the Skull and Bones and the Energy Group, our organization is indeed far behind, but we are all working hard. To narrow this gap, we have to shorten this gap when we encounter some things, just like now, why our intelligence organization is not as powerful as Skull and Bones, it is because they occupy the state machine, if in this state machine Is there our power in it? In the future, we can also know what they know, and they are in the open, we are in the dark, and we may know more. I think everyone is clear about this. So this We must never lose the opportunity, and we can’t stop doing it because we are afraid of failure, which doesn’t seem to be the purpose of our organization.” After being the president for such a long time, Mike does have many supporters of his own, and what he said It is really well-founded. Most people really have no way to refuse. Many people are inclined to Mike again at this moment. After all, they take the risk of confronting the biggest local power and the result is that they want to become the biggest power. There is someone who can make their side How can you give up the opportunity of rapid development?
"Mr. Mike is right, but I think it is not the purpose of our organization to continue to move forward knowing that we have failed. My words are not aimless. When did similar things happen in Guantanamo Prison before?" Why? Why did such a thing happen not long after the energy group's fleet arrived there? I hope everyone can understand what our current power is like? We can only hide in the dark and cannot go to the foreground Yes. If any one of these two forces wants to deal with us, we will have no chance of living." Miss Bahrain still said that she didn't want to talk when she saw Mike like that, and waited for this guy to fail. Maybe she is the president, but now, she still said it out, the most important thing is that there is too much attention from her, and she doesn't want these people to have accidents with this idiot Mike.
"Miss Bahrain, recently it seems that you are responsible for the connection between the organization and the energy group, and as far as I know, you have a very good relationship with Li Cong of the energy group. Have you heard any rumors? If it is true If there is something, we still can't get involved in this matter." One of Mike's confidantes said, on the surface, he was talking about this matter, but in fact he was telling everyone that Miss Bahrain seemed to have something like Li Cong, especially this guy. When you say "personal relationship", that's emphatic, and you can think of what's going on personally.
Ms. Bahrain looked at these people helplessly. When is this time, there are still some internal intrigues. When the family participated in this organization, it really failed to the end. If it was in the Skull and Bones, there might not be such a thing. "I have nothing to say. Since everyone thinks so, I don't think there is any need to stay here anymore. Our Morgan family is very disappointed with the organization. We hope to have opportunities to cooperate in the future." Miss Baring It is also very wrong to do things, and she understands such things as retreating. Sure enough, right after the woman said these words, many people became restless, and the organization has the situation it is today. The people of the Morgan family can be said to have contributed a lot. Right now, the organization still needs a lot of help from others. The Morgan family can be said to be a major force within the 3D Party. If it is lost like this, the loss will be too great up.
Mike's complexion also changed, he couldn't help but stared hard at his confidant, just asking you to run on Miss Bahrain, if this girl is forced away, our Three-D Party will lose at least 10% Yes, this loss is astonishingly large, just like they have 4 million party members now, and 400,000 of them died all at once. What kind of concept is this? If there is a similar organization, they may be set off directly. If the skeletons take this opportunity to attack them, they may not be able to survive. Such a thing is not impossible.
Originally, the people on Mike's side also wanted to stop her, but Miss Bahrain's movements were too fast. This girl went out directly, and there was no chance for everyone to speak. Everyone stared at her, mother , At the beginning, I thought I could get a cheap one from others, but I didn't get the cheap ones, but I broke up the team first, and everyone couldn't help looking at the guy who spoke just now, if it weren't for you bastard Speaking of speaking, how could this be the case now, but these people are also some elites, and they won't complain everywhere.
"If Miss Baring really withdraws on behalf of the Morgan family, how much loss will we have?" Mike also thought of the most practical problem at this moment, and this is the most important thing. Complaining indiscriminately can't solve any problems, and The Morgan consortium is not headed by this woman, and there may be a new special plane. After all, such a big family will not be so arbitrary in doing things. Suddenly thinking that Mike is covered in cold sweat, will he be so arbitrary? In other words, this is something they have planned for a long time. Their family all approve of this matter?
"Chairman. Let's calculate that our organization needs direct or indirect funding from the Morgan family to exceed 7.5 billion US dollars every year. This amount is not very large, but since we recently took over the energy group, the scale of this fund is large. It’s a lot, if they cut off our connection with the energy group, then our annual loss will be a staggering amount, and our current development speed may drop. [Read the novel to arrive~]” Soon the internal chief of the organization The financial person thought of this. Although what he said could not be said to be 100% accurate, it was not much different now.
"President. Did you say that the Morgan family saw the huge profits of cooperating with the energy group, and then they went to cooperate with the energy group? Our cooperation with the energy group is mainly on matters against the Skull and Bones. Those things are the Morgan family Although they can’t act as agents for all of them, they can do at least 60% of the things. What should we do? We need to have a plan to deal with it.” An old guy said worriedly, his It's not unreasonable to be worried. At this moment, most people are wondering if the Morgan family is short-sighted when they see money?
"Hmph, a group of useless things will talk about others behind their backs. If the people in the Morgan family are really what you say, I can guarantee that their ancestors will not be so brilliant. It’s a gentleman’s heart, we’d better think about how to bring Miss Bahrain back, Art. Just now you said something suspicious, now we don’t want to pursue responsibility, but to do things, or you go and get Ms. Bahrain Please come back, or you will disappear with us, President, is my opinion correct?" A fair-skinned young man next to Mike said, his identity is also very well-known, he is the history of the United States A direct descendant of the third richest man in the world, Donte? Vanderbilt.
The "Gilded Age" of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Vanderbilt is undoubtedly one of the representatives of billionaires. He is a famous shipping, railway, and financial tycoon, and the third richest man in American history. His net worth far exceeds that of Bill Gates. He is also the prototype of the computer game "Railway Tycoon".
Cornelius Vanderbilt (us lt, May 27, 1794 - January 4, 1877). Nicknamed "The Captain" was born on Staten Island, New York. His father owned a farm on Staten Island overlooking New York Bay. His father supported a large family and was not a very ambitious man. In Vanderbilt's early life, the greatest influence was his mother. Strong and lively from birth, at six he nearly drowned his own horse in a race with a neighbor's slave boy two years his senior. While racism was fairly common in the era, Vanderbilt was definitely not a snob, much less a racist. In his later years, he was already the wealthiest man in America, but when he met his childhood playmate again, he invited the Methodist friend to his home and treated him to hospitality.
Although he himself is very smart, he is very tired of those abstract theories, especially the rote and rote education model that was very common at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. Although he stayed in school for 6 years, far longer than most of his peers, he still couldn't master the tedious English grammar and spelling. He later became famous for his severe criticism of this educational model many times.
When he was only 16 years old, he was eager to start his own business. Once, while selling sail barges in the port of Richmond, he saw an opportunity. Before the steam engine appeared, the sail barge introduced by the Dutch was the main means of transportation in New York Harbor. The flat-bottomed double-masted sail barge can be up to 18 meters long and 7 meters wide, with enough space to load goods. Due to their shallow draft, they can sail almost freely on New York waters.
Vanderbilt borrowed $100 from his mother to buy a sail barge, not a small sum in 1810. His mother struck him a harsh deal, telling him she would pay him if the 3.2 hectares of uncultivated land would be cleared and plowed and planted by his birthday. His birthday was only four weeks away, but Vanderbilt organized some neighborhood kids to pull it off just in time.
Vanderbilt recalled in his later years: "When I stepped aboard my own sail barge for the first time on that bright morning in May 60 years ago. Hoisting the sails and putting my hands on the tiller, I There was a real sense of satisfaction, even greater than when I later made $2 million at the port of Harlem.” Vanderbilt made his career ferrying passengers between Staten Island and Manhattan At first, he soon became the most reliable captain in this port. At the end of the first shipping season, he not only repaid his mother $100, but also gave her an extra $1,000.
The War of 1812 ensured the success of Vanderbilt's cause. The Army needed a supplier they could fully trust and rely on to deliver supplies to the forts defending New York Harbor, and although Vanderbilt's offer was not the lowest compared to the others, they signed him. But for the most part, transportation business in New York wasn't earned by contract. More precisely, it's about who gets the business first and then tries to keep it. Vanderbilt quickly proved that he was strong and powerful, he was 1.83 meters tall. Much higher than the average height of his contemporaries, with broad shoulders, he still possessed incomparable strength until middle age. In 1844, at the age of 50, he led the supporters of Henry Clay in a parade down Broadway, and when "Yankee" Sullivan (a Tammany tough guy and the best New Yorker at the time) Boxer) grabbed the reins of his horse, an enraged Vanderbilt jumped off his horse and beat Sullivan mercilessly.
By the end of 1817, Vanderbilt had $9,000 and a sizable fleet of sailing ships, but he was always on the lookout for changes and opportunities. [Just read the novel~] He soon saw his future in the ship. He sold his sailboat. Began working for Thomas Gibbons and became captain of one of Gibbons' steamships, the Stottinger (nger). Nicknamed the "Mouse Ship" because of its small size, the steamship sailed between the three ports of New York, New Brunswick and New Jersey.
At the time, Gibbons faced a huge problem. The New York state government granted the monopoly of operating steamships in New York waters to Robert Livingston, who was inextricably linked with them (he funded the construction of the first successful commercial steamship—Robert Full Dayton's "Claremont"). The legislature also arrogantly included New Jersey's shores in New York's waters. Needless to say, everyone is unhappy with this monopoly legislation. As a talented ship designer, Vanderbilt persuaded Gibbons to build a larger steamship according to his own design, and named the ship "Bellona". The name of the Goddess of War, New Yorkers at that time were well versed in history. Immediately understood the meaning.
On the one hand, Vanderbilt drove the "Bellona" every day to use his infinite intelligence to avoid the pursuit from Livingston, on the other hand, Gibbons fought for his own rights in court. Livingston & Co. tried to bribe Vanderbilt. Promised that as long as Vanderbilt changed his position, the company would give him a high annual salary of $5,000 a year. But he refused, saying "I will always be with Gibbons through this difficult time". Although Vanderbilt was often offended by others, and more ruthless when others betrayed him, he himself was always a man who valued his reputation and kept his word, as one contemporary wrote: "He kept his word. , likewise his intimidation and threats followed suit."
Gibbons won the eventual victory in 1824, when Chief Justice John Marshall, on behalf of a unanimous Supreme Court, declared Livingston's monopoly unconstitutional because only the federal government had jurisdiction over interstate commerce. This case, known in history as "Gibbons v. Ogden" is undoubtedly one of the most important decisions made by the Supreme Court, because it ensured that the American economy moved in the direction of the common market. Although the concept of "Wall Street" hardly existed at that time, Vanderbilt and others have unconsciously promoted the development of Wall Street and even the entire country in the process of pursuing private interests. This is Adam Smith's "invisible hand" Best illustration in real life.
Vanderbilt worked for Gibbons until 1829, after which he also owned a steamship himself. His first steamship, the Caroline, named after his sister, is most famous for ending its voyage by falling over Niagara Falls. But that was long after Vanderbilt sold it. In the era when the steam engine was famous for "massacres of mankind". Vanderbilt never lost a ship to fire or shipwreck. By 1840, Vanderbilt was already the largest shipowner in the United States, and the American "Business Journal" (e) called him "Captain" by his contemporaries and historically.
In 1873, in order to make up for the trauma caused by the Civil War to the South, Vanderbilt donated one million dollars to establish Vanderbilt University named after him (now often called Vanderbilt University by Chinese people).
The American capitalist was engaged in the shipping industry and railway construction, etc., and accumulated a fortune of 105 million US dollars at the time of his death, which was estimated to be 1:87 of the GDP at that time. Like the Rockefeller family, the Vanderbilt family is a big family with deep roots in the United States. The huge consortium under its name has a history of more than 100 years. The family immigrated to Staten Island, New York, to run a farm as early as the 17th century, but the miracle of its sudden wealth happened in 1810, when Cornelius Vanderbilt, who was only 16 years old, borrowed 100 dollars from his mother. , to start a New York Bay ferry service. Within a few years, his business grew rapidly, the number of routes continued to increase, and the number of ships expanded to more than 100. Then, he invested in the railway industry, which was just emerging at that time. About 50 years later, he became the largest giant in the American railway industry.
Cornelius Vanderbilt was, in his day, the king of American railroads and the wealthiest self-made man in the world. He lived in a relatively modest house in the comfortable downtown area of Washington, and bequeathed Fifth Street to his children and grandchildren. but. He still couldn't quite resist the temptation to immortalize himself. In 1896, he built a new warehouse in lower Manhattan for his New York and Hudson River Railroad Company, and he also prepared a huge monument to himself as part of this building. This is just his autobiography, engraved with 100,000 pounds of copper. The building's gables, 30 feet high and 150 feet long, are covered with descriptions of himself, in high relief, illustrating Vanderbilt's employment with shipping companies and railroads. These flank the [central] statue of his fleet captain, a full twelve feet high. Weighs 4 tons.
Even before its unveiling, the astonished New York Herald commented: "Though it is not as great as the pyramids, nor as magnificent as the Colossus of Rhode Island, it will do it." (Ah. Vanderbilt Special monument, also suffered the same fate as the statue in "Ozymandes". Today. Only the 〖Central〗Central Statue survives, placed in front of the 〖Central〗Central Railway Station.)
Thankfully it was a normal death, and Vanderbilt's use of a bronze statue to represent the phenomenon of self-importance was an anomaly among 19th-century plutocrats. Apart from erecting a statue for themselves, the rich mostly associate their names with some great useful thing which serves the public and which expresses the vanity of their creators. New York City alone is filled with such things: Carnegie Hall, Cooper Union, Rockefeller University, Paley Park and the Whitney Guggenheim Museum abound.
Some people say that if the ancestors are smart, then their descendants are definitely not fools, just like the people in this room, most of them are self-made, but now they have made a mistake, that is, they are too jealous Well, the descendants of the Vanderbilt family who were contemporary with the Morgan family did not think about this matter. Maybe they are the second or third generation rich. Now his words may not be recognized by many people, but most people They all knew very well that what this person said was correct, and it would be better to get Miss Bahrain back first.
Mike glanced at this guy with some displeasure. When Li never showed up, this guy was the one who pursued Miss Bahrain. As the president, he didn't explain clearly to Ms. Bahrain because of the need to coordinate here and there. Now you are excited Yes, since you brought it up, I will ask you to do it.
"What Mr. Tang Te said is very reasonable, but the relationship between our people and Miss Bahrain is not very good. You have seen the situation just now. I think you should do it." Mike said with a smile, very It was easy to bring the ball over. He thought that Tang Te would refuse, but he didn't expect this guy to happily agree. And he left without stopping for a moment. This made Mike and some of his confidants a little confused. This guy didn't get any good things, so how could he go happily.
Mike ended the meeting indiscriminately. He felt that his organization was no longer the same as before, and everything seemed to be falling apart. First, the Morgan consortium, and then that fellow Tang Te , although Tang Te didn't show it, but he felt it. This guy probably won't come back after going out. Is he going to lose his two assistants?
Cuba, the energy group's naval base, and the affairs within the KKK soon reached Li Cong's ears. He frowned. To be honest, he didn't want the Three-D Party to cause too much trouble at this time. After all, in the entire United States, or in the entire area controlled by the Skull and Bones, Li Cong's strength is still very strong. The weak ones, although I want to weaken them, but I don't want to solve their mysteries in this way. The price is too high. If he is useless, what is the use of solving his secrets by himself? In the end, the one who lost was himself. Thinking of this, Li never consciously picked up the phone and dialed a number. The person who answered the phone was Miss Bahrain who had just walked out. Before she got home, she received a call from Li Cong.
"Hehe, I really don't know if fate is playing tricks? Every time something happens to me, I can always receive your call. Mr. Li, aren't your news a little bit too well-informed? Well-informed ones are a bit confusing to me. I feel scared, and it doesn't correspond to you at all." In Miss Bahrain's heart, maybe the person who accompanied him to the antique store couldn't get in touch with the number one person in the world. But to know the contents of a top-secret meeting so quickly, it is estimated that only the Energy Group and the Skull and Bones can know such a skill in the world, but now the Skull and Bones does not know, and only the Energy Group knows.
"Miss Bahrain, I'm also concerned about a friend. Sometimes this kind of concern is not necessarily wrong, like now. I feel that I can't quit there. The power of your Morgan family is not so strong in the entire United States. It is powerful, so you have to be careful, it is much better to have such a brand on top of it than to bear the wind and rain by yourself." Li Cong didn't know what was going on with him, why was there no city at the moment? Well, I've said it all, I would never have reminded me before, especially with such unfamiliar friends.
"Thank you Mr. Li for your concern. In fact, this idea has been raised many times in the upper echelons of my family. This Three-D Party is different from the original one. They were all idealistic people who wanted to overthrow the skeletons. It will be oppressive, but now it is completely different from before. Now they have their own wealth and power. Although they also want to deal with Skull and Bones, their methods are too radical, especially if you cooperate with us In the future, with your money to support them, they will be even more unscrupulous. They even think that they can directly intervene in your battle with Skull and Bones. This is absolutely impossible. If we continue to follow them, that will be our destruction From the very beginning, our family followed the principle of working behind the scenes, and we would not do this kind of foolish behavior at the front desk." Miss Bahrain was walking on the road and making a phone call, and from a distance, she looked like a lover talking to her. The little girl on the phone had no expression on her face, but what she said was a big event that could affect the lives of many people.
Li Cong pondered for a while. It is easy to understand if it is because of this reason. This also solved a mystery in Li Cong's heart. In the past, Li Cong thought that the Three D Party should be a very deep hidden one, but he didn't know. What's going on, I have been in contact with them for a while, and I can see that the people inside are very arrogant. At first, I thought that the chairman Mike was a character, but now it seems that this guy is also a waste, because a The woman gave up those things of her own, and became so irrational, and even wanted to destroy the Great Wall herself. It is really necessary to be more careful when cooperating with such a person, but then I thought about it again. Compared with others, the child's impulse to commit suicide is more excessive than others. It's just that I have better luck. Otherwise, I would be a lonely ghost now, and I regret it.
"Mr. Li?" Hearing that there was no news from here, Miss Bahrain over there asked aloud, how could she know that Li Cong would think of something a long time ago. She also wanted to hear Li Cong's opinion very much at this moment. The important thing is that she needs Li Cong's support, that is, Li Cong's diamond trade.
"Sorry, Miss Bahrain, I thought of some other things. Maybe your way is right. There are many things in this world and there are many forks in the road. Maybe you can avoid failure by walking this one, but you may also go to failure. , I will support you, but my cooperation with the Three-D Party will continue. Do you need my help?” Li Cong said with a smile. From a rational point of view, the power of the Three-D Party is now Much bigger than the Morgan family, I still need them. But from a perceptual point of view, Li Cong feels that Miss Bahrain will bring him more benefits in the future, so it is necessary to help her at this time, and it is regarded as an early training. Maybe there is nothing to gain at this time, but it will definitely be in the future. is huge.
"Thank you, Mr. Li. In fact, my family is just like what you said. We don't have much capacity. We need your diamond trade, but we don't need too much. You can provide us with 5 billion goods per year. Yes, in return, I can cooperate with all your actions, whether it is within our ability or outside our ability. I know that Mr. Li likes to look at the other party's ability when doing things. I don't know what we want to achieve. What kind of requirements do you have?" The profit of cooperating with Li Cong is very objective, but if you want to become Li Cong's partner, you must also show your ability. Everyone knows that there is no waste in Li Cong's account.
"Hehe, I may have been rumored to be too unkind, Miss Lin, in fact, even if you are not from the Morgan family, I will cooperate with you. I am a person who sees family power on the one hand, but there are so many Personal ability is also very important. Of course, I am more happy to have a partner like you who has outstanding personal ability and a very powerful family. The goods worth five billion dollars are no problem. Yes, if you need it, I can supply it at any time, as long as I need your help in the future, you can give me a certain amount of help. By the way, my cigar business in Cuba has also started. If there is a need, I can give you the exclusive right, although it is only 10% profit, but I think you will make a lot of profit in the end." Li Cong said, Miss Bahrain is very clear about the cigars Li Cong got in Cuba , In just two months, hundreds of billions of RMB have been recorded in the account. If this continues, it is estimated that it will soon reach hundreds of billions of dollars. What's wrong with 10%? In that case, there will be tens of billions of dollars in revenue a year Yes, the Morgan family will not give up on such a transaction.
"However, I would like to add one more point. My public cooperation partners in the United States are all people under the banner of the Skull and Bones. It is not acceptable to smuggle cigars. If you want to cooperate with me, you must get this contract from the Skull and Bones. Otherwise, they will suppress you in the future." Although Li Cong said that no test is required, it is necessary to check the ability of the partner in some small aspects. A talented person must be shown. , if it doesn't show up, it won't be useful, and I don't run a charity shop here, so there's no need to continue supplying.
"Mr. Li really knows how to handle things. Don't worry about it. I guarantee that there will be no problem. In fact, the KMT also has a lot of industries in Central and South America under the management of our Morgan family. Now we have withdrawn. If Mr. Li intends to take over, I can help. The total amount is not very large, but there are about 7 billion U.S. dollars. I will not charge for these, and Mr. Li will just treat it as a gift from me." This woman Although he has a good impression of Li Cong, he will still be very serious when it comes to business, just like now, taking other people's things to help himself be a good person, such a thing would be done by anyone, but she Li Cong will not be able to send out his kindness here, and Li Cong is not a person who takes advantage of small advantages.
"Hehe, I will consider this matter. If there is nothing else, I will hang up first." Miss Bahrain had nothing to do, so the two of them hung up the phone. Now that she has returned to her home, she still needs to talk to her family. Talking about how their path will go in the future, she clearly knows that after she leaves, there will be many forces that will follow her to leave that place, just like Tang Te, their family has always been with the Morgan family , so they will leave as well. This time it will definitely be a serious blow to the Three-D Party, and it is definitely a situation that Mike has never thought of.
However, Li Cong was not so relaxed. After confirming the news from Miss Bahrain, he had to do something. Although the Three-D Party was still useful, it was definitely not very useful. The skeleton will bleed once, so Li Cong quickly contacted Mike.
"Mr. Li, you must know about our affairs here. It doesn't matter. I don't think our cooperation will change without anyone, right?" Mike was still very scared when he asked this question, he was afraid Li never said that he was only cooperating with Miss Bahrain, and had nothing to do with the Three-D Party.
"Hehe, this is natural. I can see Mr. Mike's ability very clearly. I have two things to do when I call you this time. One is to give you a reassurance. No matter when our cooperation It won’t change. In addition, I want to tell you a piece of news. My people found dozens of agents in the coastal areas of Cuba. One survivor said that they were going to prison, but they were robbed and killed by the military. , maybe this news will be useful to you.” Li Cong said indifferently, he believed that this news would definitely be useful to the next step of the Three-D Party, but Li Cong had no good intentions when he said it. I just want to expand this matter a little bit, and then the skeleton will not stop if it wants to.
"Haha, is it true? Thank you very much, Mr. Li. I think the cigars you sent are really good. If we can cooperate in this aspect, I think we will be very successful in the future. Mr. Li means Is it?" Mike said while smoking the top-quality cigar in his hand, the energy group only sent a few boxes, which is not enough for their high-level executives, if they go out to buy, the price is too high, right? Roots cost 30,000 U.S. dollars. If I take one root a day, it will cost one million U.S. dollars a month, which is impossible.
"It's okay for this matter. I don't have time for a while. After a while, if you like, the eastern and central regions can be handed over to you. If you have money, everyone earns is my principle." Now, Li Cong doesn't know if this guy can survive this catastrophe, maybe this is the airdrop check he wrote to this guy. ! ~!
