Chapter 0411: Befriending the Addams Family
"I'm sorry, I'm going to go over for a while. After saying a word to Jacques, Li Zitao walked towards the villa, and Condra Hilton also saw him.
"Charlie, meet again. Condra hugged him warmly, followed by Mrs. Hilton, and Sasha stepped forward to put her arm around his shoulders and greeted him cordially.
Li Zitao is still a little unaccustomed to this way of greeting, but the amazing elasticity of his chest when it collides makes him feel uneasy.
"Is this a dribbling hit?" Li Zitao thought in his heart.
"Jonathan is over there, I'm here to introduce you. Li Zitao pointed into the distance, where Jonathan and Doris were enjoying the shade under the coconut trees.
"Thank you. Condra winked at his wife, took a glass of wine from the waiter's hand, and walked under the coconut tree.
"Jonathan, introduce you to a new friend," introduced Condra Hilton to him, Li Zitao retired, and the rest was their own business.
Hilton and Waldorf Astoria merged, with Hilton focusing on low-cost and express hotels, while Waldorf Astoria specializes in hosting high-ranking guests as a high-end brand.
As long as Conrad really wanted to do that, it would be a way out for Waldorf.
You know, with the economic crash, Waldorf Astoria occupancy rates are falling one after another.
Now their occupancy rate is less than 40%, and they rely on various banquets and events to maintain this situation for a long time.
"Charlie, come here. Consvello, who was talking to his wife Mary, shouted from afar, and there was a balding long-faced old man beside them.
"I have to introduce you, Charles Francis Adams IV, the active Secretary of the Navy. Constance Vello pointed to the white-haired old man and finished speaking, then turned to Li Zitao and smiled: "Marquis Charlie Lee, Charles, I don't think you will be a stranger to him." ”
"Of course, the legend of the United States, the new super-rich Mr. Lee, the big family of the United States is about to add another member. Charles gripped his hand and smiled.
"Adams is the living legend. Li Zitao smiled politely.
This is a family of founding fathers, with two presidents, and its influence in politics is stronger than that of the Roosevelt family.
In American politics, the Addams family is referred to as the 'First Dynasty.' ’
Because among the founding fathers, in that era when mankind was plagued by disease, he was the only one who left a legitimate heir.
Charles was very useful in complimenting Li Zitao, and being able to get praise from the mouth of a rising giant was also a recognition and honor for his family.
After all, today's Li family is no longer a small family, and is gradually entering the ranks of prominent families in the United States.
Waiting for the birth of his rightful heir, the Li family will also gain a foothold in the United States.
"For a family, inheritance is the most important thing, and you should consider having children early. After a few words with Charles, the topic of the other party shifted to the heir.
"We're still young. Li Zitao smiled and didn't answer, he didn't want others to interfere with such a thing as having children or not.
"I heard you're supporting Roosevelt Jr.'s presidential candidacy?" Charles, unconcerned about his performance, turned the conversation back to politics.
"Yes, we can talk. "It's not a secret in politics, there's nothing to hide.
"It seems that our choice is the same, and it's time for America to make a change. Charles was referring to the declining market economy.
Too many people are unhappy with the government's inaction.
In the beginning, the rich were able to maintain a peaceful mood and comfortably choose delicious food in their own fields.
Now that comfort has turned into worry, they need someone to turn the situation around, otherwise they will be the next to be cut and bankrupt.
The Charles family's estate is not much, but the income of his family fund has fallen below the record low in two years.
This seriously affects the family's income and the operation of the foundation, and no one can stay out of it.
Li Zitao's Blue and White Chamber of Commerce, if it weren't for the support of the cash cow Golden Arches, it wouldn't be much better now.
"Some people are worried that Roosevelt will take action against the industry giants when he comes to power, what do you think?" it sounded like Charles was probing him.
"The Trust Act has always been there, and there will come a time when it will be inevitable, and perhaps an earlier split will be better for the future. ”
Will Roosevelt take action against the industry giants after he takes office, the report on this problem is half a drawer in the intelligence store, which is 25 centimeters thick.
"The reorganization of the banking sector is inevitable, at present checks cannot be cashed in Washington, only cash can buy things in the market, and banks across the country are either bankrupt or closed, and if there is no interference, I dare not imagine when they will recover." ”
Just after Wells Fargo announced that it would cease lending business, the banking industry in the United States entered a period of complete demise.
There was no longer a single bank in the country that could cash checks, and Wall Street magnate JP. Morgan announced that it would close down for rectification.
You must know that J.P. Morgan twice saved the government in the economic crisis, and people called it Washington's 'money bag'. ’
Now that even this money bag is closed, you can imagine what the market has become.
Roosevelt's 'New Deal' in New York State, although many policies could not be passed due to rights issues, the rate of economic decline in New York State was greatly alleviated.
This gave hope to the citizens, who took to the streets with banners and chanted the slogan: "Reform..."
In the past two months, the word 'reform' has come up more and more frequently.
But American citizens resist the GC system and FXS, and fear that the government's power will get out of control and become the 'out-of-control monster' that the Founding Fathers feared. ’
"I've seen Roosevelt's New Deal, though not all of it, but the power of the president will be fully expanded, which is very worrying. ”
As a founding father, Charles had a deeper understanding of the Declaration of Independence and was well aware of how terrible it could be for the United States if Washington's power spiraled out of control.
"The separation of powers will not be broken, no one will agree, don't tell me you can't control Congress. Li Zitao said to Charles with a smile.
"Charlie, it looks like you've done a lot of homework. Charles smiled meaningfully.
"Maybe!" Li Zitao spread his hands innocently, neither admitting nor denying it.
Unless his skull is caught in the door, he will admit that there are more than 100 pages of information about Adams in the think tank.
These were collected by the people sent by S.H.I.E.L.D. to Hawkeye, and their mission was to gather valuable information.
Including all people, things, and things, after the relevant information is sent back to the think tank, it will be stored separately in a bright red iron cabinet, which is separated from ordinary documents.
"Aren't you worried that Roosevelt Jr. will do something to you when he comes to power?" said Charles, still saying his worries, which were the worries of everyone.
"Is there a better way?" he was, of course, worried, but as things stand, only Roosevelt was ready for reform.
The dire situation in the United States does not allow to wait another 4 years, they have no time.
