Morgan has been eyeing the Union Pacific Railroad scandal since several newspapers began to expose the scandal in six consecutive years. In Morgan's view, this railway is definitely very rich, and now after the scandal, the stock price will definitely plummet, if you can't seize the opportunity to make a lot of money at this time, then what kind of banker do you deserve? However, Morgan also knows that these things do not appear in newspapers for no reason, and ordinary newspapers do not have the ability to dig up such an inside story on their own. Behind this, there must be an invisible hand controlling this qiē. Morgan knew that the goal of this black hand was the same as himself, which was to wait for the stock price of the United Railroad to fall, and then take the railway in one fell swoop at a low price.

In this way, in the future, this black hand may compete with himself for the control of this railway. Who could this person be? J.P. Morgan drained the most likely forces of the black hand one by one. Morgan's first thought was Vanderbilt, a tycoon with roots in the railroad who would not miss the opportunity to control a new railroad. The second object of suspicion was Cookjie, a Wall Street banker who also had a huge interest in railroad watches. The last suspect is Scrooge? MacDonald too. Scrooge ran a large steel company, which was undoubtedly eyeing the business opportunities offered by the railway. I once asked Scrooge? MacDonald, is it interested in this railway. Scrooge said at the time that he was interested in any profitable business. Although Scrooge has a good reputation and pretends that almost the whole United States and even the whole world believe that he is a good person, how could Morgan, who saw how Scrooge got his start, not know what kind of person Scrooge is?

"Dad, now is not the time to get involved in the Union Pacific Railroad." J.P. Morgan said to his father, "If Vanderbilt or Cookje were behind this flamboyance, then he would have pretty much stopped at this point." But if it's Scrooge? MacDonald, that's hard to say, maybe he's going to get this company straight to the point of bankruptcy and reorganization. Therefore, if it is really Scrooge who is doing a ghost behind this, we will be ruthlessly pitted by him when we go in now, so I think it is better to take it slowly. This railway is too deep, be careful. ”

"Ah, it's so careful, it's not quite your style." Juniers? Morgan said with a smile.

"Dad, you have always taught me to be cautious before making up your mind, and to be decisive after making up your mind."

At this time, someone knocked lightly on the door.

"What's the matter?" J.P. Morgan asked.

"Young master, there is a new newspaper with new news on it."

……

"Dad, I'm now sure that the mastermind behind the scenes is Scrooge? Mcdonald. After reading the newspaper, J.P. Morgan said to his father, Juniels.

"Are you so sure?" Junior asked.

"Yes, Dad, you see, more than 30 people were killed silently. In public, the 'witnesses' were killed, and the murder was blamed on the fools. Such a thing, except for McDonald, who has a professional company in his hands, who else has the strength to do this thing so desperately! J.P. Morgan said.

"Scrooge? MacDonald is so young and so ruthless, it's really ...... It's really ......" Juniels said two "yes" in a row, but he didn't know what words to use to describe him.

"The most terrifying thing is not the ruthlessness." J.P. Morgan said, "The most terrible thing is that he's doing such a horrible thing, and yet he's still a saint." And he uses this prestige to constantly reap benefits for himself. Well, from him, I learned a lot. ”

"Okay, now let's take a look at Scrooge? How would MacDonald move? Let's follow him and hitchhike. In addition, since he is mainly involved in railways, the opportunities related to those trades can make us a lot of money. Juniels said.

……

"The newspaper broke out all the qiē?" Edward? Secretary Bates, "The Union Pacific Railroad is playing with eggs. Now the stock market is in a panic. Then this panic will spread to other places, building materials, labor, and all industries that can be related to the railroad will be affected, and then if it is not done well, it will be an economic panic. Decisive action must now be taken to stop the further deterioration of the situation. Immediately inform President Lincoln of the situation, and at the same time contact the experts in the economic community to prepare to save the market. ”

"Yes, Mr. Minister."

……

"Scrooge, has the issue of the railroad been negotiated?" See Scrooge from Lincoln's envoy Edward? Secretary Bates returned from an emergency "meeting of the rich" in New York, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, Rockefeller greeted him.

"John, let's go in and talk." Scrooge said.

The two walked into Scrooge's office, and Anna immediately served Scrooge a cup of tea, then turned back to Rockefeller and smiled, and asked, "Mr. Rockefeller, do you want something?" ”

"Just give me a glass of water." Rockefeller said.

"Hmm." Anna responded gently and poured Rockefeller a glass of water. Then he turned around, walked out slowly with a kettle, and closed the door to the office.

"How's it going?" Rockefeller asked.

"I agreed to take the lead on the project and buy Union Pacific Railroad shares in the market to stop the situation from getting worse." Scrooge smiled, "In fact, Union Pacific's stock has fallen to a pulp by now, and it has already fallen a lot below his actual value." And the government agreed to raise more national debt for the railway, and I will reshuffle the management of the entire company. We can say that we have achieved all of our goals. What do you think? John, would you like to be the director of this railroad? I know, you bought a lot of railroad stocks the other day. ”

"I'm going to say I'm not interested, and you won't believe it." Rockefeller said, "It's just that I've got enough things in my hands." Right now, I have to ask my brother William to help with many things. ”

"Then let your brother exercise more. Well, Kroll was ready to get married," said Scrooge, "and his fiancée was Catherine, a minor English nobleman, and she was quite capable." I'm going to get them back to the U.S. to get married, and then I'm going to leave some of the things in the U.S. to them to handle. On the European side, they are still generally responsible. For specific matters, Catherine's cousin can help with it. Anyway, for the time being, there will be no major changes in Europe. ”

"Which one are you going to hand over to Kroll?" Rockefeller asked.

"Mines and steel. Anyway, now that the railway company is in our hands, there will not be much problem with the sale of these two pieces. And Kroll has been working out in Europe for so long, it's time to work out. John, what are your thoughts on this? ”

"I think it should be." Since Scrooge's arrangement did not diminish his power in the consortium, Rockefeller naturally did not intend to oppose it.

"Alright, that's it." Scrooge said.

"Alright, Scrooge, I'll go back and talk to William, and I'll have to explain some things to him." Rockefeller stood up.

"Well, when you leave, call Anna in by the way."

"Okay." Rockefeller walked two steps toward the door, then turned back and drank the glass of white water on the table before walking out.

"This guy has so much money, and he is so thrifty, he doesn't even want to waste a glass of water." Scrooge smiled and shook his head.

At this time, Anna walked in softly and closed the door.

"Mr. MacDonald, is there anything going on?" Anna asked.

"Anna, Kroll is coming back, he's coming back to the United States with his fiancée to get married. You know, I don't know anything about how to do such things, and I have to take care of this kind of thing, and in the end it's either too shabby or too tyrannical. Kroll's fiancée was an English aristocrat, although the aristocracy was just that. But weddings are very important for a woman after all, so I don't want to be too tasteless. It's up to you to arrange this for me. In terms of funding, well, Kroll's salary hasn't been touched in the last six months. Just use the money to do it, and then I'll pay another two thousand dollars, and it should be about the same. Scrooge said.

"Yes, Mr. Scrooge." Anna nodded, her big eyes flashing when she heard the word "married." But other than this "okay", she didn't say much.

"Ah, also, you brought Mr. Sahaf. There's a press conference tomorrow, and I need him to prepare a copy for me. Well, okay, that's all. Scrooge said.

"Then I'm out." Anna nodded to Scrooge and left the office.

Looking at Anna's departing figure, Scrooge thought that Anna was indeed a very smart girl, gentle and considerate, and very measured. For example, if you change to an ordinary woman, if you have such a relationship with yourself, I am afraid that you will have lost your sense of proportion and forgotten what you do. And Anna is different, she still does what a female secretary should do, she still does it meticulously. It seems that she understands very well that a mistress can be abandoned at any time, but the position of a competent female secretary is much more stable than that of an ordinary mistress. She is also not like ordinary mistresses, who will ask for this and that whenever they have the opportunity. But in fact, I won't really treat her badly, after all, a beautiful, gentle, capable, and well-proportioned female secretary is really hard to find.
