"The United States has had two financial crises, do you remember?" John said as he looked at Audrey Hepburn, without waiting for her to answer. "At that time, there was no central bank in the United States, so the government could not save the market, and in the end, it was the Morgan family who intervened to get the United States through these two financial crises, saving countless people from bankruptcy and living on the streets. ”

Audrey Hepburn nodded, the Morgan family did save the city, once in 1895 and once in 1907.

The financial crisis of 1907 was the worst, when the patriarch of the Morgan family forced almost all the Wall Street capitalists to intervene in order to survive the crisis.

After that, the Morgan family united most of the banks in the United States to form the Federal Reserve to deal with the financial crisis. So the Morgan family has a very high position in the Fed, accounting for a quarter of the seats, and if you add the seats in the Morgan Alliance, the Morgan family can account for three-quarters of the seats in the Fed.

It is precisely because of this that some people later said that the Morgan family did not establish the Federal Reserve to deal with the financial crisis, but to control the US economy through the Federal Reserve.

The Morgans have never defended this claim, because through the Federal Reserve, the Morgans do control the U.S. economy.

But the establishment of the Federal Reserve has also given the United States the strength to deal with the financial crisis, you must know that Americans are not like the Chinese people have the habit of saving money, for the United States to have fun in time is the meaning of life, so the United States basically has no savings, and even many people still owe a lot of debts to the bank, so for the United States, not to mention the financial crisis, it is accidentally unemployed, and may be on the streets.

"So the Morgan family has never been stingy with the disadvantaged, but it depends on what is divided, the Morgan family will not take action on small problems, and the Morgan family will not stand idly by on the big problems. ”

What a good manager does is to put the right people in the right places and do the right things. The Morgan, as the manager, will not interfere in everything, unless the agent is incapable of coping, and the Morgan will jump out.

But if the Morgan family does everything himself, then each generation of patriarchs may be exhausted to death, first of all, not to mention politics, military, and community affairs, just business affairs are enough for the Morgan family to be busy.

The Morgan Group has a total of 300,000 members, large and small, and if each family submits a report to the Morgan family every month, the patriarch of the Morgan family may not be able to read these statements until he dies. Even if 186 important members are selected from 300,000 members, the patriarch of the Morgan family wants to deal with one member a day, it will take 186 days to deal with it, not to mention political, military, and community affairs.

Therefore, the Morgan family cannot be exhaustive, and can only handle these affairs through a large number of agents, and then manage the agents through one think tank after another. Even so, the patriarch of the Morgan family has a lot of affairs to deal with every day, and the old Morgan works nearly 13 hours a day, 24 hours a day, which shows how much work there is.

But Audrey Hepburn had a different opinion on this. "John, you often read Chinese books, and I remember a book that said: Don't take evil as small, don't take good as small. I know that the Morgan family has a lot of affairs, but I think the Morgan family should devote some time to public welfare. ”

"Forehead ......"

John on the side was suddenly embarrassed.

When John's grandmother was still alive, Audrey Hepburn often came to stay at Morgan Manor, and every time she came to see John reading Chinese books, she often asked John to translate to her, and John was also happy to translate, and over time Audrey Hepburn remembered a lot of the book.

But what John didn't expect was that these things were used on him today, and they really dug a pit and jumped by themselves.

Audrey Hepburn on the side didn't want to embarrass John too much, after all, John is now an adult, and he will be the patriarch of the Morgan family in the future, so he shouldn't be too embarrassed, so he smiled slightly and said. Actually, I agree with you that a family needs to keep up with the times, and it's quite right, and your move to set up a charitable foundation is not a step forward for the Morgan family.

But sometimes I think Morgan's eyes shouldn't be fixed on the sky, and sometimes they should lean down to look at the people.

The Morgan family has gone through five generations, and you are the sixth generation, and you are thinking about how to control the country and influence the world from politics, economy, military, community, and ideology, but you have never thought about the people's hearts.

The right is not paid by heaven, but paid by the people, and only when the people are willing to follow can the Morgan family truly stand. ”

Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people will lose the world. The reason is easy to understand, but there are very few people who can do it, because everyone is racking their brains for their own interests, who cares about the life and death of others, the wheel of history is constantly moving forward, what changes is the times, and what remains unchanged is just a group of people who continue to exploit the people.

Audrey Hepburn knows this very well, so she doesn't expect the Morgan family to do their best for the general public, she only hopes that the Morgan family can properly consider the people under her when they have vested interests.

And John, who was on the side, bent down slightly after hearing Audrey Hepburn's words. "I will give serious consideration to your teachings when I return. ”

John thinks that he is not a great man and cannot sacrifice himself, but he is not an evil person either, and he naturally cannot do such a thing.

As for Audrey Hepburn, as Audrey Hepburn said, thinking about the people under him, he said that depending on the situation, if there is no conflict with the interests of the Morgan family, then he does not mind taking action, but if there is a conflict with the interests of the Morgan family, then he does not mind turning a deaf ear.

As for what others will say about him, he doesn't care, since the day Morgan was born, he has become a bad person among bad people, since he is a bad person, do you need to care about other people's evaluation?

Sometimes John doesn't think there's anything wrong with being a bad person.

Bad people have an advantage over good people in some way, good people do a bad thing and they become bad people, and bad people are considered good people as long as they do a good thing.

And more importantly, the bad guys live longer and have an easier time than the good guys.

So John doesn't think it's bad to be a bad guy who does good things once in a while.

Audrey Hepburn on the side didn't know what John was thinking, but she was relieved to see John being taught. "I see in you the shadow of the founder of the Morgan Group. ”

John smiled awkwardly when he heard Audrey Hepburn's words.

The founder of the Morgan family, George Peabody, was a philanthropic person. Victor Hugo once wrote: "In this world, there are people full of hatred and people full of love, and Peabody belongs to the latter, and it is on the faces of such people that we see the smile of God." ”

John felt that he couldn't be a person like Peabody, and he wanted to be a villain who worked hard for his family more than greatness.
