Subtitle of this chapter: I have no desire, then (P) Gang, you have Rong (Jia) Nailiang!

It's so strange that "Mogong Datong" is actually a sensitive word?! Who can tell Murong why?

……………………………………………………

As a time-traveler, the "Lord Fool" doesn't need to be told by "His Majesty the Pope" to know that little Morgan is a detective enthusiast.

And he doesn't have a strong desire to control like his father, preferring a quieter life, hunting, going to sea, and reading detectives.

So he handed over most of the business of the Morgan consortium to his second-in-command, Harry Davidson (1868-1922), a few years earlier.

He was one of the advisers to the Federal Reserve's Preparatory Committee and one of the favorites for the 1915 Republican presidential nomination......

If he hadn't been involved in that "tragic scandal", it was very likely that he would have PK the presidency with Wilson, who was seeking re-election.

In 1915, one of Davidson's neighbors, who was also a cuckold by him, shot his wife in the back of the head and then himself in the temple after dinner......

Naturally, the scandal became a big one, and Davidson lost this opportunity, and later, feeling guilty, he adopted the couple's two children.

See, in the era when there is no Weibo, the husband who was cuckolded can only use this very violent way to take revenge, so everyone still has to thank the progress of the times.

I don't know if it's retribution, but by 1920, Harry Davidson's health had problems, and he was plagued by headaches and insomnia, and had to go to the countryside to recuperate.

Morgan Jr. had no choice but to return to the mountain to take the throne. But if history doesn't change, Thomas Lamont here will soon become "the most successful president in the history of the Morgan consortium."

"Thank you, Dr. Yuan. I loved this gift. Jack Morgan smiled and said in a very pure "Queen's English."

He was "exiled" to England by his father from 1898 to 1905, so that he, his wife, and his children became pro-British, and spent almost half of each year in England.

Of course, this does not prevent the Morgan consortium from lending money to Niuniu's enemies.

Only then did our Master Yuan notice the other party's accent, and immediately flattened his tongue and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Morgan." ”

Note that the most significant difference between the American sound and the English sound is that the American sound has a tongue roll sound, and the English sound does not...... It's not at all!

TO TAKE THE SIMPLEST EXAMPLE, THE WORD FATHER, THE AMERICAN PRONUNCIATION IS PRONOUNCED "FADE", AND THE ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION IS "FADA".

As long as you keep this in mind, you will be able to switch between American and British tones. And for Yuan Yanqi, who is about to go to England, it is time to start getting used to it.

"Dr. Yuan, please be seated."

"Thank you, Mr. Morgan."

As soon as he sat down, he was asked, "Dr. Yuan, what do you want to drink?" ”

He replied casually, "Whiskey is fine." Soda without ice, thank you. ”

When the wine was served, Master Yuan was secretly refreshed at this time, George Whitney, the chairman of the NYSE, poured himself wine, how could he have this kind of treatment if he didn't cross it?!

"Dr. Yuan, you know why you were invited here today, right?" I just heard little Morgan ask straight to the point.

And for his direct way, Yuan Yanqian was not surprised.

As far as he knows, little Morgan is in step with his father, not only in terms of business, but also in the way he behaves, and even the way he dresses is a bit deliberately copied from old Morgan.

At that time, a newspaper held a quiz with a prize. They published two photographs in which Morgan and father and son were both holding up canes to drive reporters away, and then asked readers which photo was the father and which was the son.

There is such a "everyone comes to find fault", which shows how similar the father and son are.

And one of the characteristics of the old Morgan is that he is straightforward when talking about business, and never wastes time.

The most famous example is his acquisition of the properties of the "steel king" Dale Carnegie.

When the president of Carnegie offered Morgan the asking price of $480 million, he guessed that Morgan would not agree and should bargain. But to his surprise, people nodded their heads in confirmation of the offer without blinking.

And that's it!

However, our Master Yuan did not rush to answer the question raised by the "King of Wall Street".

He took an unhurried sip of whiskey, then closed his eyes slightly and savored the taste of the wine.

After about ten seconds, he nodded to the other party and said, "Mr. Morgan, of course I know." ”

He knows, of course, that he himself is standing on a historical fulcrum, a historical fulcrum that he has created himself!

Archimedes said, give me a fulcrum, and I can pry the earth.

Yuan Yanqian said, give me a fulcrum, and I can pry history.

Now, now, now, now, now...... It is a fulcrum that can easily pry history, so easy that it can change the balance of power between China and Japan with just a mouthpiece.

In fact, this is the so-called "spirit of death".

Yuan Yanqian knew that he had no way to use this historical fulcrum, but he deliberately created this historical fulcrum.

He befriended the "miracle of Wall Street......

He prophesied Harding's victory......

He wrote "Socialism" and those political articles......

He easily made money through NYPR and Centennial Mountain......

He became the guest of honor in the "Mahjong Cabinet......

All of this is in exchange for this meeting with little Morgan!

However, to die is to die.

In order not to die, he had to give up this historical fulcrum.

As the old saying goes, if you don't want you, you are strong.

Now that he has given up on this fulcrum, the image he wants to create is not that of a capable, honest, and obedient subordinate, but of a capable, honest, and somewhat arrogant consultant.

As long as Morgan Jr. has a little bit of stomach and vision, then he has a good chance to become a supernumerary consultant of the Morgan consortium.

In fact, he also wants to maintain a close relationship with the Morgan consortium.

To put it bluntly, he wanted to establish a personal friendship with Morgan Jr., but he didn't want to get involved in the actual business of the Morgan consortium.

Why didn't Yuan want to join the Morgan Consortium?

Because he wants to be a "bullshit master", he can't become a "royal member of the king of the gods".

Just imagine, he is a master who holds high the banner of humanism and liberalism, but in the end he is discovered by the public to be in collusion with Wall Street predators, and this reputation will definitely stink.

If this reputation stinks, how can he become a master of neoclassical liberalism?

If it is discovered that he is in the same league as Wall Street predators, how can he be a close friend and political ally of FDR?

Without the moral high ground, how could he be an academic idol worshiped by the white left public intellectuals of various colors in later generations?

"Dear Mr. Baker mentioned it to me, and I am grateful for his recommendation." Our Master Yuan turned to look at Mr. Baker II and nodded in gratitude to his father.

Then he turned to little Morgan and said, "Mr. Morgan, I also thank you very much for giving me a chance to meet here......

"Gentlemen, I can only say that I am flattered by the opportunity to become a partner of the Morgan consortium. I'll tell you the truth, I haven't slept well in the past few days! ”

"Hehehe......" These people also chuckled a few times.

"Mr. Morgan, but ......" Yuan Yanzhen stood up, bowed to little Morgan and said, "Forgive me for being rude, I have to refuse!" ”

Now, now, now, now, now...... He's bleeding in his heart.

"Gentlemen, please hear me a story first." Our Master Yuan didn't wait for everyone present to ask questions, he straightened up and said in a loud voice.

"In 1840, the Tatar government was forced to sign the Treaty of Nanking with the British, opening the ports to free trade."

"At that time, the textile mill owners in Manchester woke up laughing from their dreams. Because they believe that China has a population of 40,000 people, and if China only buys one cotton nightcap a year, it will be enough for all the factories in Manchester to produce for decades. ”

"So, they literally shipped several ships of nightcaps to China......"

Yuan Yanqian smiled bitterly and said, "They don't know that we Chinese don't wear hats when they sleep, and we don't need to wear hats." ”

"Gentlemen, I must point out that at this stage of history, the Morgan consortium is the owners of the factories in Manchester."

"What I want to say is that you have good goods, but they are not suitable for today's China!"

Now, now, now, now, now...... Our Master Yuan only has four words in his heart.

That's ......
