Chapter 0498 Sitting on the shore and watching the tiger fight
As he spoke, Andrew Mellon and John Rockefeller Jr. walked side by side, smiling and toasting Roosevelt in celebration.
"Franklin, your speeches in Iowa and New Hampshire were wonderful, and I think everyone was conquered by that time. ”
Andrew Mellon politely said that the Iowa and New Hampshire states he was talking about may be relatively unfamiliar to ordinary people.
But they have been the choice for the first grassroots party conference in a bipartisan election year.
During the presidential caucuse, the size of the state and the number of people do not have a direct impact on the election, but the most important thing is the date of the caucus.
The earlier the caucus date, the greater the advantage, so Iowa and New Hampshire, despite being small states, are known as caucuses because of the high quality of education that the population generally has, and some candidates know after their first meeting whether the race is strong for them.
At this point, they can find a reason to opt out decisively, and although it will leave a stain, it is much more decent than losing the election.
"Thank you for the compliment, and I will remember the friendship of the Mellon family. Roosevelt let out a hearty laugh and raised his glass to touch him.
"Can we talk alone?" Andrew looked at the two beside him.
"Let's talk about it separately. Roosevelt reached out and flicked the remote control lever on the armrest, and before leaving, he didn't forget to say, "Charlie, the banquet is great." ”
When the two of them left, several black-clad agents followed from both sides, and Little John said with emotion: "Time flies so fast." ”
"Is there one?" Li Zitao joked: "Andrew won't really ask for help, right?"
"No, he's going to buy it for Morgan. Little John smiled happily and said, "Look, Morgan will pay for their robbery." ”
Price?
Could it be that Andrew wants to join forces with Roosevelt to pit Morgan, what should he do?
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with any way, so he could only turn his gaze to Little John, wanting to get an answer from him.
"Minister of Finance. After little John finished speaking, he left leisurely on crutches, and he saw some old friends.
The Minister of Finance, the Mellon family also wants to hold this position.
What are you kidding, didn't you hear that ballad?
Mellon blows the whistle, Hoover rings the bell, Wall Street signals that America is going to hell!
His prestige had already been damaged by the Great Depression, and Roosevelt was asking for trouble if he continued to serve as Secretary of the Treasury.
National debt... Fed... The government provides loans... , Li Zitao probably guessed what he wanted to do.
For Andrew's big plan, Li Zitao can't admire it.
It's worthy of an old fox, scheming, this is to make Morgan vomit blood!
As for whether he can succeed, he won't suffer anyway, he just needs to sit on the wall and watch the tigers fight and watch them fight.
Just thinking of the Federal Reserve, Li Zitao is still a little unhappy.
Compared to them, the Fed is the real money-maker, the non-profit regulator, and the selfless.
Hehe, lie to the fools!
At this time, some people will still believe that when Roosevelt comes to power, the arrival and end of World War II, the public will recognize the face of the Federal Reserve.
With a pile of 'waste paper,' you can get a mortgage on America's future revenues, use the money to buy Treasury bonds, and then the money changes hands and goes back to your own corporate pockets.
This is the real trust monster, an unrepeatable freak in the history of finance.
Compared with the other party, Li Zitao is just eating some leftovers, pitiful.
The most terrible thing in this world is contrast, and when you think about it, all the joy you had before is gone.
When can you get mixed with the seven members of the Federal Reserve, that will be considered to be the top.
And this is not only possible with money, but with money, with money, can you compare to the vampire who sucks the blood of the country?
And this country is also a world power and will become a superpower in the future.
There are taxes here, interest on national bonds there, and a lot of profits in their pockets, and the printing press is not as fast as they can make money.
Sometimes he really admires the European and American financiers who created this freak, how they came up with the idea.
"Charlie, what are you thinking?" Jonathan came to him with two glasses of wine, he had been smug lately, and his smile was brighter than a flower.
The stake in Lee's Holdings has grown to 5.7 percent, and the merger of Waldorf Astoria and Hilton is timely, and they will formally sign the agreement at the end of the month.
The shipyard has an order from Standard Oil of Alaska, and business is booming, not to mention the big cake that is about to come and the crazy expansion that follows.
The loans provided by the government are not for them to keep in their pockets, and all the money will be put into the market to stimulate the market to revitalize and allow capital to circulate.
What follows is naturally a large wave of mergers and acquisitions, small fish eat shrimp, big fish eat all, those small enterprises either accept the acquisition, or wait for bankruptcy!
Jonathan is bullish on the industrial machinery market, which is a highly competitive market, but also represents endless possibilities.
Li C Astor Industrial Group, it's time to find some dry goods to fill it up, every day this empty shell, it sounds embarrassing.
Fortunately, the shipyard's business capacity is not bad, with a modern dock, excellent contracting quality, and CGT shipping company to support a few window covers.
"Looks like you're ready. Listening to Jonathan's plan, Li Zitao was thinking about how many people were ready for this wave of acquisitions.
Anyway, those small fish and shrimp must not be prepared, and when the huge waves set off and the giant crocodile lurked in the water, they only had to tremble.
"Your Lee Real Estate moves are not small, do you know that they have already fought with the Chicago consortium?"
Seeing Li Zitao's expression, Jonathan knew that he hadn't paid attention, and continued, "Your hermit-like president is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”
Of course, the Habsburg is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but Li Zitao originally thought that the old man was disheartened, and he would get it by making a small fuss and guarding his own one-third of an acre.
I didn't expect him to be old and strong, and suddenly have motivation again?
"I haven't asked again since I handed over the company to him, and from the bottom of my heart, I treat him as a family member, so let him do it!"
This is not false at all, although neither of them has ever made it clear, but Li Zitao has always regarded him as a father and friend in his heart.
The old man also knew very well in his heart, otherwise how could he say that day, waiting for the child to be born, and call him grandfather.
Some things don't have to be said so clearly, just stay together to understand the other person's thoughts.
Maybe there is this 'peculiar' connection between him and Wise, which is a bit strange to say, so both of them try not to mention it, saving embarrassment.
As for Li's real estate, since it was handed over to him to be responsible, Li Zitao would not interfere.
Maybe he will be able to get a surprise from the old man in the future, "The old guy doesn't want to leave a big estate for his grandson or granddaughter, right?"
