"Why are we doing this?" said Club 22, the meeting got to the point.

The speaker was a representative of the Pyrmont family from the East Coast, who is also a key member of the Cleveland Consortium.

Sitting next to him were Harvey Firestone and Martin Firestone, father and son.

Pillmont's meaning is clear, and that is why they are going against the Addams family.

In fact, before arriving in New York for the meeting, only half of the people present spoke by phone with Charles or his representatives.

The rest of those people are either not qualified enough, or they have the mentality of watching a play.

There is no one who is really willing to stand by Li Zitao's side, to be precise.

Compared to him, Adams, who has a deep heritage and history in the United States, is undoubtedly more respected and revered.

Moreover, the Addams family is not only rich, but also has great power and influence.

From a business point alone, the Cleveland Consortium, which maintains close cooperation with the Lee family, has members with extraordinary ties to the Addams family.

Here, Piermont is their representative.

John Rockefeller Jr. also had a friendly relationship with the Addams family.

The Astor family, before Jonathan's father sank with the Titanic, Astor III was one of his best friends.

The Mellon family, the two sides did not have much communication in business.

However, in the government and the National Assembly, they have helped each other and jointly contributed to the passage of many bills.

The only thing that has little contact with the Addams family is the Chicago Consortium.

And he is now fully biased towards the Lee consortium, and has become an integral part of it after losing most control over the funds.

Inside, though, the McCormites don't recommend having a bad relationship with Adams.

No one will easily choose to have a bad relationship with an old family with deep roots, and the other party has extremely strong power in both the political and business worlds.

"I think everyone here wants to hear my answer. Sensing the somewhat silent atmosphere at the scene, Li Zitao stood up from his seat.

Since they all want to hear their own thoughts, Li Zitao will not be stingy

"In my opinion, it's time to break the old and old rules. Li Zitao's words shocked everyone's hearts.

Breaking the rules, does he know what he's talking about?

Does he think he can reshuffle America's power structure above everyone?

It can't be. Even Jonathan and McCormy, who favored him, were taken aback by the idea.

A Chinese wants to push the table to reshuffle the cards, don't say any forces, probability of these nonsense.

From the depths of their hearts, a visceral resistance arises.

"Power has always been in the hands of a few, like wealth, and all of you sitting here today can create about 6 percent of the benefits of the nation.

They occupy more than 20% of the market in their respective industries, and I don't think anyone will deny that. ”

That is why each of you should understand why the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer. ”

"As times change and Washington's surveillance of the market, the importance of politics has intensified again, and these effects are happening. ”

"Think about who can compete with the Addams family in this regard. Li Zitao paused for a moment, and turned his gaze to look down.

"And Jefferson, Roosevelt, they will check and balance each other like a consortium, and the current president belongs to it. Someone retorted.

"Yes, you're right. Li Zitao pointed at the spokesman and smiled, and suddenly said indifferently: "Then you should be glad that they haven't woken up yet." ”

"When one day, Congress comes to your door for a variety of reasons, antitrust, unfair competition, insider operations, and so on, you understand what it is. ”

In fact, it is true in the future, and the so-called freedom of the market in the United States is also freedom within the rules it specifies.

And when it wants to find any corporate trouble, it can find hundreds of reasons within the rules.

"No one is going to break the rules, and that would cost him his foothold in the United States. Again, there was a rebuttal.

This time it was an acquaintance Li Zitao knew, Andrew Mellon.

His expression was very calm, and he maintained the benevolent smile that an elder should have, as if he was just having a family debate with Li Zitao.

"No, not having it now does not mean that it will not appear in the future, capital and politics should be equal at both ends of the scale, and now this equality is being broken. ”

Whispers rang out below, and everyone was talking to familiar people.

Yes, that's exactly what they're worried about.

Since the Great Depression, when the Roosevelt administration began to interfere in the market, they have been increasingly shackled and blamed.

There are more and more rules to follow, and the old set no longer works.

However, most people believe that a regulated business system will make the market more dynamic.

And judging by the current situation in the United States, they are right.

It took only four years for the Roosevelt administration to bring about a noticeable recovery in the American economy.

Roosevelt was easily re-elected and became a hero in the hearts of the American people.

The ensuing war made him the first three presidents in the history of the United States, and his term was extended until the end of the war.

This was a good thing for those who supported Roosevelt, the people at the bottom.

However, Roosevelt was not a friendly friend to the capitalists, as he did with everyone.

On this point, I am afraid, no one had a better say than Roosevelt's own family.

Since he became president, the family's business and external expansion have not only not been supported, but have been restricted in various ways.

And the source of these orders was none other than Roosevelt himself.

Other industries were also affected to a greater or lesser extent, and Roosevelt tended to favor the gradual growth of more small companies.

He has an extraordinary patience and a special preference for small companies and wants to continue to follow his new policy and let these companies act as catfish to stir up the activity of the market.

There was nothing wrong with this, and it was very popular with big companies and capitalists.

The more people who join, the bigger the pie will be, and the more 'small fish and shrimp' it will have. ’

They can let these little shrimps swim around and grow up strongly.

When it grows to the point where it needs it, it opens its mouth and swallows it, allowing it to create or absorb all the 'nutrients' for its own use.

It's what they do best, and it's always rewarding every once in a while.

However, a flurry of 'protection' bills has appeared frequently.

Washington's protection and favoritism towards small companies has also caused them to be unhappy.
