Chapter 0936: Spoils of War
"Charlie Lee invited me to visit the TV factory with me?" Andrew Mellon looked at his nephew in some surprise when he got the news.
"Yes, uncle, he personally extended an invitation to you. Dick Mellon said respectfully.
Although he has now been recognized by the family, whether he can eventually become the heir or not, the opinion of the old man in front of him is very important.
He didn't want to go back to victory because of something that went wrong.
"Dick, what do you think he wants to do?" asked Andrew Mellon, sitting on a large red silk goose-down high-backed sofa.
Judging from his experience and actions over the years, he is a person who is willing to share, and because of this, the current Li family is also powerful and fearful. β
Dick said in the affirmative, "I think his invitation is a good thing. β
β...... Not bad. Andrew nodded with mixed satisfaction, and then muttered, "Tell him that I will go to New York in person tomorrow." β
Looking at the back of Dick Mellon's departure, Andrew shook his head with some regret.
If Dick were his son, then everything would be too perfect.
Thinking of his son Paul, who had caused trouble to him two days ago, Andrew's brow rose a few black lines.
"This bastardβ" he roared viciously, but his clenched fists suddenly let go, and his body leaned back weakly, his wise eyes full of disappointment.
Following.
Li Zitao asked people to prepare for the noon banquet early in the morning, and Andrew Mellon will arrive at the Li apartment with his son at noon.
It was a private visit, although they had to talk about business afterwards, and it was inevitable that there would be a conflict of interest.
"Has the car left?" Seeing the servants busy in an orderly manner, Li Zitao looked at Flandis and asked.
"Already at the airport. "Frandi is getting better and better.
Occasionally, on his body, Li Zitao seems to see Hogg's shadow, but... The old guy's health is getting worse and worse.
"Go see Hogg when you have time, he doesn't have much time. Li Zitao said to Emperor Francis.
It was Hogg who personally selected him, and Hogg personally cultivated him, and the relationship between the two was like a inheritance between master and apprentice in Huaguo.
Flanders should go and see him and accompany him on his last journey.
"I will. Flandi said expressionlessly.
In fact, he had already arranged his itinerary, and when this banquet was over, he would go to the Dream Castle in Los Angeles to visit Hogg.
The topic made the atmosphere a little heavy, and more and more people left or were about to leave as time passed.
This made Li Zitao feel a sense of morning and twilight, as if he had also become one of them.
The truth is that he is still young, and there is still a long way to go, which is completely a psychological reflection.
When Andrew Mellon saw the grand convoy at the airport, he was a little more convinced of his own speculation.
Li Zitao sent the entire H2 convoy and showed enough sincerity and respect.
When Andrew Mellon arrived at the apartment with Paul Mellon, Li Zitao also waited in front of the door with twins and Elizabeth.
"Charlie, we finally meet again. After getting out of the car, Andrew was enthusiastic and strode forward to take the initiative to hug him.
Li Zitao also smiled and patted his back and said, "A big man like you should come to New York often." β
"I'm getting old, and New York isn't my stage anymore. Andrew called his son to his side, patted him and said, "Now it's time for his stage." β
"That's right. Li Zitao disagreed.
What kind of virtue his son is, Andrew knows better than himself.
This time he was invited to come, and Andrew made a special trip to Paul, apparently to arrange something for him to do.
However, whether to have this second ancestor or not remains to be considered for Li Zitao.
Paul didn't have a good reputation.
"Your apartment is more luxurious than a palace, and I think all of New York City is the envy of you. "The view of taking the elevator up and seeing the flowers all the way amazed Andrew.
His performance at the moment is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
This is not about wealth, but because of the limitations of the times, and the pattern and style of Lee's apartment are completely unprecedented for him.
Arriving in the living room, looking at the precious collections everywhere, the delicate carpets and the elegant tables and chairs, Andrew's expression looked more normal.
No matter how precious paintings and works of art are, they are commonplace for him.
Only the structure of this apartment and the imagination contained in it can give him a lot of shock.
"Charlie, I've heard that there are marine life in your apartment, and I'm looking forward to it. "Andrew showed a strong interest in the apartment.
He was wondering if he would go back and build a manor house with a similar style.
"When we're done talking, we'll have plenty of time. Li Zitao smiled and motioned for the servants who came up with tea to step down.
Soon there were only four people left in the room: Andrew and his son, Li Zitao and Tia.
"I intend to sell some of the shares of ARC, are you interested?" Li Zitao said straight to the point.
"Of course. Andrew's eyes lit up and he nodded decisively, indicating that he was very interested.
"What do I need to give?" Finding that Li Zitao picked up the tea with a smile and didn't speak, Andrew was just a little anxious.
But in fact, he has been paying attention to the TV industry and knows the development of ARC very well.
The Mellon family has been able to keep a low profile and firmly control the various industries under its name, not only because the descendants of the family support each other.
It's more that they have a keen sense of smell and are able to open up enough industries to meet the growing interests of the family.
Mellon did not dare to say that he was the leader of the times.
But whenever a new industry emerges, they always have the keenest sense of smell and are the first to dare to make a move.
In the TV industry, the Mellon family is actually already laying out.
Acquired shares of AT&T, sponsored TV R&D, and purchased related patents.
It was only while they were acting for this that Andrew suddenly noticed that someone was walking ahead.
ARC has filed numerous patents on TV and purchased the basic architecture patents for the original TV inventions.
They have also built a well-established television network, and Hollywood's DreamWorks is shooting films for TV broadcast.
After figuring out these things, Andrew thought about it all night, and even felt the urge to call him.
He wanted to ask what made Li Zitao have such amazing insights.
"at&t, I want your shares. Li Zitao stated his purpose.
One of the main intentions of choosing Mellon, which he did not mention as anyone mentioned, was the AT&T stake in the hands of the Mellon family.
The largest communications giant in the United States, and even in later generations, Li Zitao has been coveting it for a long time.
Morgan's era is passing.
Now, it's time for a new dynasty to rise, and some loot will inevitably be needed.
In his opinion, the AT&T trophy is a good one to satisfy his growing appetite.
