"Have you arranged them?" As soon as Richard entered the study, Andrew asked. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)

"Alright." Richard respectfully returned.

"How does it feel?" Andrew asked. His fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, his slender eyes narrowed slightly, and the fingers of his other hand held a cigar, smoke curling from his fingers, like a tiger napping.

Only by seeing it in person, Richard knew that his uncle was cunning, don't look at his usual amiable appearance, that was just his disguise.

Once you get angry, it's terrible, and many great people who can't be seen in the world have suffered losses here and can't be called?

Usually he rarely speaks, quietly, sometimes sitting all afternoon, looking a little wooden, but his light brown eyes seem to be able to see through people's hearts.

Sometimes, a quiet person tends to think more deeply than most, and Andrew Mellon is undoubtedly one such person.

For Andrew Mellon, a mental guru and success scientist who has been familiar with it all his life, he has cultivated in the field of insight into people's hearts.

It's kind of interesting, too.

Kristen Larson's "Master in the Cave" chronicles her bizarre encounter with Andrew Mellon: Once, Mellon went to the western United States in search of oil, and in order to get first-hand information, he went deep into the barren mountains and mountains for field research.

To escape a rainstorm, he enters a mysterious cave. In the cave, a man with only a piece of coarse linen around his waist sits by a campfire. He had a long beard and looked depressed.

Mellon felt a little scared and wanted to retreat into the dark night when the rain was raging. The man looked at him with sincere eyes and held out a friendly hand to him.

Mellon stayed, in the cave, sipping on the man's delicious hot soup and struck up a conversation with him. Mellon found that the cave, though rudimentary, was filled with books – why would a man who had returned to the primitive way of life read so many books?

Mellon raised his own questions. The man smiled and said, "The reason is simple, I want to allow myself to observe my inner world in absolute peace and discover my inner energy, which is the inner energy of human beings.

If used correctly, it can allow you to transcend yourself, get rid of the troubles of illness and the erosion of love, as well as the many incorrect temptations that exist in life, and even attract wealth to you, so that your love will always be happy and happy, which people desire but have always been out of reach. ”

Although Mellon felt that this person was a bit arrogant and narcissistic, in order to pass the time, he took a book and read it. He discovered that the books were not printed, but thick handwritten manuscripts—written by the man.

Looking at the title of the book: "Dreams Come True", turning a few pages, slowly, he was attracted by the words in the book and felt that he had entered a magical spiritual world.

It turned out that this rough man with a scruffy beard had a big background, he was a famous psychologist and success guru in the United States, Christine Larson, who was also the founder of the American journals "Religious Science" and "Psychological Science", and the leader and spiritual leader of the American New Thinking Movement.

Larson's interest in spiritual science and his study of spiritual science led him to quickly find the intersection of the two, forming a practical and systematic philosophy of life.

Since then, Mellon has followed every one of Kristen Larson's works until his later years. Mellon said that he was grateful to Kristen Larson all his life, and even to the unexpected storm.

Although the details of this plot resembling that of a Chinese martial arts novel are not verifiable, Mellon says he has gained an unprecedented level of wisdom and strength that allows him to manage the sprawling Mellon family business.

In July 1902, the Mellon National Bank was established, and a series of management mechanism innovations made Andrew the most powerful figure in Pittsburgh's financial circles almost overnight, and then expanded to coal, steel and other fields, and the Mellon family's industry soon went beyond Pittsburgh to a wider area.

It can also be seen from here that Andrew Mellon's shrewd calculations, the predecessor of Gulf Oil, Gefei, did not originally belong to the Mellon family, but in the end it was smoothed by Andrew Mellon.

Therefore, Situ Nan has always been very wary of these old foxes, especially when he does not have enough strength, he generally does not dare to contact them lightly.

However, after a few years, Situ Nan has also grown up, and he doesn't dare to say that he can calculate those old foxes, but it is not difficult to use his prediction ability to stumble on some people, but he rarely does this, first, there are not many people who make Situ Nan evil, and secondly, he is usually too busy with many things.

"Robles has changed a lot, he's confident, smart, he's calm.

The other one feels similar, but this person's origin is a bit mysterious, and I can't see through him. Richard said.

"Hmm. That's right! I feel that way too. However, he should not have any malicious intent, so there is no need to do it, and our Mellon family should not offend him lightly. Now that many other families are staring at this Stoney, we don't need to be evil. This kind of person is polite and polite, and he is very easy to get along with, but this is a situation where he must not be offended, once this kind of person gets angry, it is almost reckless. That's the scariest thing. Andrew admonished.

That's the kind of person he is. Although he can protect the Mellon family while he is alive, what if he is gone?

Although the current Richard has potential, there is still a certain gap between him and Situ Nan, a large group that was almost kicked out with his bare hands.

If you can't deal with Situ Nan, will the Mellon family be calculated by others in the future?

Now is not the Gilded Age, after nearly a hundred years of development, the cake of the American economy has been made, many families have demarcated their spheres of influence in their respective fields, and have also been recognized by each other, and business competition will be more and more constrained by law. No one can have their own temperament, and even the oil trust of the once-prosperous Rockefeller has been blasted.

But if this is not the case, where is the Mellon family's Gulf Oil and Western Oil stored today?

In the future, the game will be played according to the agreed rules, breaking the rules, using violence to solve the problem is the most stupid, and the abuse of violence will make the other families feel threatened, and will be united by all the big families to exclude.

"By the way, let's talk about the U.S. Treasury this time! I heard that they are also related to Robles? Andrew said.

"Hmmm! This time, the Robles Securities in New York swallowed $300 million in Treasury bonds in one bite, and did a good job. I heard that they are involved with Morgan's Wall Street banks and are about to instigate war between the White House and Congress, so that they can get more Treasury bond issuance facilities from the White House.

The war was also a great opportunity for the Pittsburgh area, our family's home base, and the war would have a large order to go to Pittsburgh, where steel was strong.

This is also good for us, and with the strength of our Mellon family, we can guarantee that there will be enough benefits no matter what. ”

"Alright! That's how this should be done in New York! I'm sure they'll be happy for us to join, but for our benefit. Andrew commanded.

"Okay."

"By the way, is that Stoney William still single?" Andrew suddenly said to Richard, who was about to go out.

"Huh? What the? Richard thought for a moment, turned around, and asked, "As far as I know, he's still single, but he seems to have a mistress in Los Angeles." Why, Andrew, are you trying to ······"

"That young man is good, and if he can, it will be of great benefit to our Mellon family. When your grandfather Thomas married your grandmother, their marriage contributed to the family for all to see. Andrew patiently called Richard and said.

His own son, Paul, was discouraged by his playthings all day, and the family's future hope depended on this nephew in front of him, so Andrew had to patiently pass on his experience to him.

"However, didn't you agree with the son of the Hawke family to pursue the little sister before? How ······? Richard said.

"Don't mention the Hawke family to me. They're all villains, didn't they say that their steel mill would work with us? Unexpectedly, as long as Morgan threw a wink, they leaned to the other side.

If I hadn't looked at Hawke, that kid was not bad, where would I give them a chance to get close to the princess of our Mellon family? Think beautifully! Isn't there a better candidate now?

Hehehe! Andrew said with some excitement.

Richard wondered if Hawke was standing in front of Andrew now, and the next second, Andrew's iron cane made of aluminum alloy would open a hole in Hawke's head in the next second.

Looking at Andrew's stubborn appearance, Richard sighed in his heart, "Hawke, Hawke, it's not that your buddy doesn't help you, but you offended Andrew, and the matter of soaking the little sister may be in vain." Who doesn't know that Andrew's little princess is notoriously well-behaved! ”

However, Andrew is also a little stingy, the Morgan family paid a high price, and the Hawke family naturally sold them the shares of the steel mill, what is so angry, it has been two or three years.

But it's no wonder that Pittsburgh has always been like the territory of the Mellon family, but there is one very obscure thing in this territory that is the American Steel Company.

The steel trust established by the steel king Carnegie is like a banner planted by the Morgan family in the territory of the Mellon family, the Mellon family has always wanted to make a difference in the steel industry, so they want to acquire other steel mills in the Pittsburgh area to compete with it, and the Hawker family is one of their targets, but they didn't expect to be inserted by the Morgan family in the end.

Damn it, Andrew, who has always been cautious, has already boasted about Haikou in front of Jack Morgan.

The Hawke family's half-heartedness last time made Andrew Mellon lose face, and this time he was embarrassed to even go to the bankers' briefing on Morgan Pirate 3, and only sent a representative.

Richard was not available at the time, otherwise he would have met Stuart and Robles.

"By the way, why didn't you see my little sweetheart just now? Does that thief from the Hawke family still dare to come? Andrew asked warily.

"I don't know, but Paul seems to have said that Sweetheart is back in the piano room. You know, ever since she came back from the Titanic, she's been madly obsessed with the piano, always playing that song with an unknown name. Richard shook his head.

"Huh. That's good! Knowing that his little sweetheart was not with the Hawke kids, Andrew smiled proudly.

"I'll go see him, you go and get busy! Rest early tonight, don't work too hard! ”

Andrew patted Richard on the shoulder with relief. He was getting more and more satisfied with this nephew.

But how do you look at it, why is his short man's actions a little funny? Every time, the tall Richard had to bend down to bear the "mana blessing" of the head of the Mellon family.
