Chapter 0497 I'm afraid the cake isn't big enough
The time before the holiday was very tight, but Li Zitao had to take time out to attend the annual meeting of the No. 22 club.
This is the highlight of the year, and all the authorities and giants present are present.
Over the course of the year, 22 new members joined, including Margaret Carnegie, the daughter of the unusually low-key Iron King.
Because of her pregnancy, Mary wore a loose pink bubblegum silk evening gown, her thighs were exposed to the air from less than two-thirds, and she wore a pair of ordinary flat boots on her feet.
After coming to the United States, she became more and more bold in dressing, and Li Zitao was happy to see it.
Compared with the princess dress that once only showed her naked feet, these clothes can better set off her beautiful figure and elegant and noble temperament.
"Honey, I'm going over there to say hello. Entering the venue, after a brief speech, Li Zitao and Mary separated.
They all have their own circles, with Li Zitao and a group of wealthy people toasting and discussing yachts, planes, stocks, mansions and vacations.
Mary and a group of ladies discuss jewelry, clothes, luxuries, mansions, and vacations.
It's just that more often than not, they turn the conversation to the child in her belly.
"Mary, do you have any plans to set up a personal fund for your children?" someone asked curiously.
"It's too early to say that, Charlie and I are only 20 years old. Mary said gently.
"Yes, and they have a large fortune, and it's too early to think about these things. Janet Bouville waved her hand covering her mouth and asked, as if casually, "Do you have any plans to have several children?"
"Charlie said that everything is up to me. Mary smiled happily.
"Oh... It's romantic. Someone said enviously.
"Hey, look over there. At this moment, someone suddenly interrupted their conversation, pointed to the right front and said.
At the cold table, Li Zitao was choosing a wine that suited his taste, and Celia gradually approached and gently patted him on the shoulder.
Naughty and graceful, with a bit of shy movements and demeanor, he doesn't look like an ordinary friend.
Under the scrutiny of everyone, Mary's smile remained unchanged: "That's the daughter of the former Macy's Strauss family, you should all know her, and now she works in Hualian, responsible for product content." ”
"Look, they're coming. Someone was surprised.
"Mary, dear, do you need to rest?" After stepping forward to kiss his wife, Li Zitao stood beside her, put his arm around her waist and said, "Celia, you know." ”
"Celia, long time no see. Mary smiled generously.
"Yes!" Celia's expression was a little ugly, she didn't expect Li Zitao to behave like this.
But thinking about what he had said, Celia felt that her decision today was wrong.
No matter how many times he was tempted, his attitude was very resolute, and he still played these little cleverness and small means.
But on the other hand, Celia was a little unwilling.
Why should she avoid her, shouldn't it be her freedom to appear somewhere?
"You go on, I'm going to meet some of the guests. After leading Celia into the circle of noblewomen, Li Zitao bowed slightly and said goodbye.
He had just seen Roosevelt arrive and wanted to go over to say hello and congratulate him by the way.
"Roosevelt, friend, is your phone going to explode these days?" Li Zitao stepped forward and bent over to hug him, patting him on the back and jokingly.
"No kidding, I'm the majority shareholder of the phone factory. Roosevelt let out a hearty laugh.
Coming behind him, grabbing the handle and pushing it forward slowly, Li Zitao looked at the concerned eyes around him and said, "There will be many people who want to know you tonight, and they are all looking forward to your coming to the stage." ”
Li Zitao is also looking forward to it, and he is still waiting for the profits that can be generated behind that large amount of national bonds.
"When the induction ceremony is over, my team will be the first to move, and you have to be ready. "The New Deal is imminent, especially in government relief, and continues to increase its efforts.
Roosevelt's minimum guarantee plan would at least feed the American people, restore their confidence in the government, dispel suspicions, and gain him a lot of goodwill.
However, it will take time for these things to be done, and he needs to convince Congress, as well as the Supreme Court, which is Roosevelt's biggest headache.
It is not easy for Washington to meddle in the market economy, even if it is just regulatory power.
If it weren't for the millions of people who are hungry, unemployed, and bankrupt today, Roosevelt would not have believed that he would have thought so.
It's just that now he has to do it, or no one will be able to pull America out of the quagmire anymore, it will only sink deeper and deeper.
"2 billion US dollars, I'm just afraid that your share of the cake is not big enough. Li Zitao opened his mouth and said.
"You're greedy. Roosevelt looked back amusedly, not so surprised that he could raise $2 billion.
The shareholders of Lee's Holdings include the three major consortia of Morgan, Rockefeller, and Chicago.
"By the way, I heard that Morgan and Mellon are negotiating?" Roosevelt suddenly mentioned the matter.
"It's going to take some time. "This matter has become a little uncertain because of Juliana's disappearance.
The previous incident allowed Morgan to get another 1% stake, and the price rose by 120 million US dollars, and the Mellon family was very annoyed by this matter.
There is speculation about Juliana, maybe it has some kind of connection with Morgan, but unfortunately no one has any evidence.
"Do you need my help?" Roosevelt was now on the roof of office, and no one could do anything to him as long as he did not exhibit some serious moral behavior.
So there are too many lawmakers waiting in line to make overtures to him, not only because he is about to become president, but also because of the smell of green onion pie that he painted for everyone.
With the courage, boldness, and self-confidence shown in Roosevelt's several speeches, he would never give up power to others.
More importantly, this matter has been endorsed by many members of the National Assembly.
Roosevelt's charisma was really strong, and both the Democratic and Republican parties were full of identification with him.
He is the kind of person who can use his charisma to turn political enemies into friends and make everyone stand in his trenches.
Now it is normal for him to take the initiative to offer help, and the think tank that the think tank has set up for him has provided him with more than half a star.
However, Li Zitao still refused with a smile, don't think that such help is needless.
Now that Roosevelt has stepped up pressure on Congress, it may have made Morgan compromise, but in the end, it will certainly not be hidden.
If Morgan suffers a loss, this account will have to be counted on his head, and it is unknown how much share this favor will be reduced when the cake is divided in the future, and his relationship with Mellon has not yet reached this point.
