After Charles left, Ariana, who had been acting as a recorder, looked at John in confusion and asked.

"Brother JK, why are you banning guns! It's not good for the Morgan family at all, and it also makes Charles extort a fortune!"

Ariana despises her brother's behavior of taking advantage of the fire, but she can't understand why John would harm her own interests.

Dani on the side was also puzzled that the Morgan family had suffered a big loss this time, not only losing the $10 billion annual arms market, but also sending out $10 billion upside down, and the Morgan family lost nearly $20 billion a year in and out.

"Isn't it good?" John looked at Ariana and smiled. "That's a big benefit!"

"What's the benefit?" Ariana wondered, wondering if John must have some ulterior secret.

"Only when the country is rich can we be rich, as the administrators of the United States, we are linked to the fate of the country, and if the people are good to us, if one day the people can't eat, what do you say they will do?"

"They... They're going to rob us! they're going to overthrow us!" Ariana thought for a moment.

"Yes, if the people don't eat, if they are not satisfied with the government, they will raise their guns and rob us and overthrow us, and then the Morgan family, the Rockefeller family, will become history, just as we overthrew the British government. So we have to feed the people so that they don't think about us, and we can always be the administrators of this country and live with this country. ”

"But what does a gun ban have to do with giving people something to eat?" Ariana understood John's words, but didn't understand what eating had to do with banning guns.

"There are many factors that determine a country's economy, trade, investment, taxes, security, ...... Wait, the proliferation of guns will lead to the deterioration of public security in the country, so it must be banned, and when the law and order is good, more people will be willing to invest in the United States, and the more factories will come, and the people will have jobs and food, and they will not think of overthrowing us if they have food.

Now I can control the gun with only a little profit, and I can let the Morgan family run the country forever, do you think I made money!"

"Hmph, there's one more important thing you haven't said!" Ariana said, holding her head high. "You ban guns, and if the people don't have guns in their hands, even if they don't have food, they can't overthrow the government, right!"

"Oh, you can actually think of this, yes, grow up!" John stretched out his thumb and praised it, John banned guns for a large part of the sake of law and order, but there was also the idea of wanting the people to rebel against the government without weapons.

The people could not overthrow the government without weapons and with burning sticks.

"Huh!" Ariana smirked, making her happy to reveal John's secret.

On the other hand, although Dani understood why John banned guns, she felt that it was a loss, this kind of thing was good for several major families, but it was not cost-effective to ask the Morgan family to compensate.

And John is too lazy to care, those who only have money in their hearts will be slaved by money, and those who only see the small profits in front of them will definitely suffer in the small profits, and those who eat alone will also die on eating alone.

"But you're not thinking about it enough. John splashed Ariana with a basin of cold water. "Staunton development, the interests involved are huge, the Morgan family can put all these interests into the pocket, but it will make people red-eyed, the best way is to take out a part of the interests, set up an interest group, and jointly protect this interest, the Morgan family can take the largest share of interests with peace of mind, no worries, and will not bury the root cause.

And Stendon is huge, relying on the development of the Morgan family alone, the speed is too slow, the investment is too big, and now take out a part of the benefits, the ten families jointly invest and develop together, the Morgan family can not only reduce investment, but also speed up the development of Staunton, do you think this is cost-effective?"

If nothing else, a port alone can make tens of billions of dollars a year, as well as logistics and transportation, warehouse leasing, hotel and catering, housing sales, office leasing, subway operations, shopping and tourism, and medical insurance...... The Morgan family in this city has made a lot of money, and if such a big benefit is not taken out, it will attract people's eyes.

"You have to remember that no matter how strong you are in the future, don't eat alone, otherwise you will become a loner, you will become the object of everyone's robbery, you must learn to share, use your interests to form your own interest group, and protect your own interests. John patted Ariana on the shoulder and said with a relaxed expression. "Okay, that's all for today, class. "After that, I got up and prepared to go to the restaurant to find something to eat, and this kind of thing is the most energy-consuming thing to have a meeting.

John gave Ariana a sharing lesson today, as long as the people who are willing to share, the mix will not be too bad. It is precisely because of the willingness of the Morgan family to give out their interests that they have today's Phantom Consortium.

On the other side, after Charles returned to the Rockefeller manor, he went to the old Rockefeller's study to report the results, and proudly said the price he had negotiated with John.

But to his surprise, the old Rockefeller was not as happy as he imagined, but rather unhappy.

"Why do you want to increase the price code temporarily?"

Rockefeller Sr. asked.

Before Charles went to Purple Star Manor, the old Rockefeller had already discussed with several major families, and everyone calculated the loss of the banned gun, and then came up with an offer, but Charles now asked for twice as much.

"I was going to call out that John would bargain at the time of the three-percent port and the two-story land, and then everyone slowly bargained, but I didn't expect him to make a counteroffer!" Charles explained.

Old Rockefeller didn't speak, staring into Charles's eyes, trying to see the true thoughts in Charles's eyes.

And Charles was stared at by the old Rockefeller, as if his inner secret had been peeped at. He did expect that John would not make a counteroffer, so he thought he was clever enough to ask for double.

It wasn't until a long time later, when a slight sweat was already breaking out on Charles' forehead, that the old Rockefeller withdrew his eyes and said in a dissatisfied tone. "You can't be too greedy, there is no big difference between taking hundreds of millions more or taking hundreds of millions less at our level, but it will be underestimated, you go down and rest!"

The elder Rockefeller waved his hand, and Charles bowed and left the study.

Old Rockefeller looked at Charles's departing back and shook his head, with a disappointed look, this grandson's pattern is too small.

As the helmsman, you must have a big picture and a wide vision, otherwise you will lose greater interests for the sake of the small profits in front of you, and even go to the point of no return.

The old Rockefeller can expect that after this incident, John's good impression of the Rockefeller family will be minimized, and he will not give face to the Rockefeller family in the future, because Charles is not worth giving.

On the other hand, John received a call from Morgan Sr. after dinner, but Morgan Sr. did not call to inquire about the outcome of the negotiations, but asked John to solve the trouble of the General Motors Group.

When GM's contract with the workers expired, the United Auto Workers (UAW) negotiated a four-year contract with the GM Group on behalf of the workers, but the two sides failed to negotiate, and the UAW demanded that GM Group increase its employees' hourly wages by 5% and benefits such as superior health care.

General Motors Group is reluctant to increase, because the increase in labor costs will not be competitive in the market, so the two sides have launched a tug-of-war to see who can not survive first.
