Chapter 352, Luring the Snake Out of the Hole (6)

"Today, for the first time, the MacDonald family admits that their leader, the legendary great businessman, great scientist, inventor in American history, Mr. Scrooge 61 Mr. MacDonald fell into a deep coma. ' A spokesman for Salvation's Hospital said that after the difficult resuscitation, Mr. MacDonald's vital characteristics are now stable, but Mr. MacDonald was already in a deep coma when he was taken to the hospital. Until now, we haven't been able to wake him up. Mr. MacDonald is still alive, and when he wakes up is up to God.

We spoke with Dr. Dalton of Yale University School of Medicine, an expert on the brain and nerves, who had this to say:

Apparently Mr. MacDonald, before being taken to the hospital, had already lost blood. This leads to a shortage of blood supply to the brain, which leads to a lack of oxygen to the brain. According to the latest research results, among the various organs of the human body, the brain is the organ that consumes the most oxygen and is also the most sensitive to oxygen deficiency. In cases of extreme hypoxia, brain cells may suffer irreversible damage from severe conditions. For this reason, when there is an extreme lack of oxygen, the brain will stop working to reduce oxygen consumption and prevent too many brain cells from dying due to lack of oxygen. So the person will fall into a deep coma at this time. In a sense, this is a self-protection mechanism of the brain. As for why, when the problem of hypoxia was solved, Mr. MacDonald still did not wake up. There are two possibilities, one may be that the lack of oxygen at that time was so severe that too many cells in the brain went into hibernation, which requires a very strong and effective stimulus to wake him up, and what kind of stimulus is very strong and effective, which is different for any person, which naturally also means that Mr. MacDonald may wake up tomorrow, or he may never wake up, depending on God's will; The other possibility is even worse, that is, many of Mr. MacDonald's brain cells have died due to the lack of oxygen, but the brain stem that is more tolerant to hypoxia and has more priority access to oxygen supply is still alive, if this is the case, Mr. MacDonald will never wake up......"

Stanford put down the newspaper in his hand and excitedly spun around the study.

"Falling into a coma? Don't know when you'll wake up? How long will they want to deceive everyone? If Scrooge was really just unconscious, then how could Dorothea leave the hospital after just visiting him, which shows that Dorothea simply didn't believe that he would wake up again. Moreover, his brother, Carol, who had also visited him thereafter, had likewise only been in the hospital for a short time before leaving, and had not even returned since. What does this mean? Doesn't this mean that Carol also doesn't think that Scrooge has any chance of waking up? Now they claim that Scrooge is just unconscious, and that's because they can't cover it up anymore, and it's clear that there's a whole bunch of problems with the MacDonald consortium today, both external and internal. If Scrooge was still alive, even if he was still very weak, he would have to come out and make an appearance, as long as he came out and showed his face, as long as he could make even a little noise, then whether it was an aggressive external enemy or an internal careerist who was about to move, he would be intimidated. But he just couldn't make a sound, which only made more people suspicious. So at this time, they simply admit that Scrooge has fallen into a coma, and delusionally use this possibility that Scrooge may wake up at any time to intimidate their enemies. It's ridiculous! Stanford said to himself, "No, I have to do something, this is a feast of capital, and if you move slowly, you won't be able to eat anything!" ”

……

"Don't worry if we're slow, we won't be able to eat." Morgan told his allies that many allies have recently been blaming Morgan for being slow and may have missed a great opportunity.

"My friends, there was a huge, ferocious whale that was hit by a harpoon, but it was still strong and powerful, and it was able to fight the whalers constantly. In the end, of course, the whale was killed, although several whalers also died. Tell me, my friends, who is the one who has the most to gain in this battle, the first whaling sailor to pounce on them, or the owner who hired them? The loss of Scrooge by the MacDonald Consortium was indeed a fatal blow, but the whale still had strength, its teeth were still sharp, and its strength had not yet exhausted. At this time, it is a very dangerous thing to rush forward. Let's not rush, let the little ones rush first. Anyway, for them, the movement is slow, but they really can't eat anything. They simply don't have a choice. And we can observe from a safe distance to see how much strength the giant whale still has to resist. We will go up and harvest the fruit when the combination is best and safest. Morgan explained to his allies.

"But even then, we can't afford to delay too much." One banker said, "Now that the situation is so clear, it's time for us to do something." ”

"Yes, the struggle within the MacDonald family has become semi-public, and it is clear that Dorothea 61 MacDonald and Carol 61 MacDonald have become clearly opposed to each other for the rights of the family. With control of McDonald's Chemical & Pharmaceutical Company, Dorothea was eager to push for an alternative to sulfonamides. And Carol, who controls McDonald Ventures, is obviously dragging her feet. He even declared that the new plan had already overspent, and that it would be foolish to continue to think about investing in it after losing the guidance of the greatest medical scientist, Scrooge. But Ms. Dorothea seems determined to continue the plan, and for this reason, Ms. Dorothea seems to have formed an alliance with Rockefeller with the oil well in her hand to deal with Carroll. I think we can start moving now. Another banker said.

A long time ago, when talking to his relatives about Morgan, Scrooge had this to say: "The way Morgan joins Guò Alliance, which brings together the financial capital of Wall Street, is remarkable, and it allows him to control with very little capital, and mobilize almost as much capital as ours." But there is also a weakness in his model, which is that he does not have coercive control over the allies he joins. They obeyed him only because he had proven that he was superior to the others. It can bring everyone to make a fortune together. However, if one day, there is a contradiction in internal interests, or when there is a sufficiently large interest in front of us, how to balance the internal situation will become extremely difficult. Sometimes, in order to maintain unity, Morgan may have to make compromises and do things that he believes may not be ripe. ”

Morgan would have agreed with Scrooge if he had known this, for example, now, under pressure from his allies, he would have to start making a move.

……

The MacDonald family's events affected not only the United States, but also Europe.

The McDonald consortium also has a lot of business in Europe, and unlike in the United States, most of these companies are joint-stock companies. This, of course, will also give others more opportunities to take advantage of the fire.

"Hey, David, hello." David had just walked into the London stock exchange when he saw a guy greet him. David recognized the man, a member of the Rothschild family, named Eugene.

"Mr. Eugene, you are good. Seeing that you look good, what good deal have you made? David asked casually.

"Ah, nothing? I just bought back Laffiburg at a good price from someone else. Eugene looked unconcerned and said casually.

"What?" David was taken aback. Because he knew very well who the former owner of Fort Lafite was. Not so long ago, the Rothschilds gifted this wine castle to the MacDonalds. It was handed over to Scrooge's wife, Dorothea. Now the winery is back in the hands of the Rothschilds. What's more, as the representative of the MacDonald consortium in London. The person himself didn't get any news at all. The sale of such a winery was completely excluded.

David immediately remembered the recent rumors, according to which Dorothea and Carol had a conflict over the future direction of the consortium. Even tearing each other down. If this statement is true, then then it is understandable what Rosia is doing, she needs money now, she needs a lot of money.

"What, surprised? David, would you like to go for a drink together after work? Eugene asked.

David was tempted to turn him down, but when he realized that something might really be wrong with the MacDonald consortium, he suddenly felt that it might not be wise to hang himself from such a tree.

……

"If it weren't for your rules that these things should be kept secret from everyone who had an accident with us, how could David have been mixed up with the Rothschilds? Carol, how long will your fishing campaign last, hurry up, or there will be more and more traitors. Also, you can't do anything to my relatives anyway! After learning that David had frequent contact with the Rothschilds, Catherine said this to the Carol brothers and Dorothea.

"We have no intention of using force in Europe. You can rest assured of that. Scrooge comforted her.
