The popularity of the telephone led Jacob Schiff to contact MacDonald and the Morgan family almost immediately. Of course, at such a time, the call he made could not have been answered by Scrooge or Morgan himself, or even by Greystone and Morgan Jr. The people who answered the phone were just secretaries and the like, and they all responded in unison that they needed to report back to MacDonald or Mr. Morgan and then see when they had time.

Putting down the phone, Jacob Schiff was still waiting next to the phone. He knew that if the McDonald and Morgan consortiums were interested in working with him, he would soon get a call back, because it was a big business, and at this time, time was money. Neither MacDonald nor Morgan would waste extremely valuable time by putting on a show. And if he can't borrow a call back anytime soon, it will only mean one thing: Morgan and the MacDonalds have come to an agreement, and they have become their scheduled delicacy.

Such a wait was of course very painful, although it was only a few minutes (Jacob Schiff decided to wait fifteen minutes at most, because he did not have time to wait, and if his phone did not ring within fifteen minutes, then he would have to act immediately to arrange how to dispose of the shares of the Midwestern Bank in his hand). But in Jacob Schiff's senses, it was like sitting for hours on a crater that could erupt at any moment.

But in fact, Jacob Schiff didn't have to wait long. After only five minutes of waiting, the phone rang. As soon as the bell rang, Jacob Schiff jumped up as if he had hit a spring, and moved as swiftly as a young man. He grabbed the telephone receiver suddenly, because the movement was too big, so that the tall table where the phone was placed shook violently, and almost fell directly to the ground, but fortunately, Abraham was also waiting beside him, and hurriedly reached out to help it, so as not to break the phone. If the phone had been broken at this time, Jacob Schiff would have cried to death.

"Is that Mr. Jacob Schiff?" An old man's deep voice came from the microphone.

"It's me, it's me. Mr. Morgan, is that you? Jacob Schiff replied in a frightened voice, holding the earpiece in both hands.

"It's me, Jacob, I heard you want to talk to me?" Morgan's unhurried voice was also heard on the phone.

"Yes, Mr. Morgan, I wonder when you have time?" Jacob Schiff hurriedly asked. Since Mr. Morgan was willing to call him, it meant that there was still something to be done.

"Oh, I and Scrooge have been in business lately, so you can talk about it with my son and Greystone. They're all ...... Duckburg now" Morgan's voice paused, and Jacob Schiff faintly heard Morgan seem to ask, "What time is it", and then he heard Morgan say to him, "Jacob, if you have any problems, go straight to Duckburg at once." They will be waiting for you there. ”

"Okay, I'll go right away. Thank you, Mr. Morgan, for being so kind! Jacob Schiff said to Morgan in a grateful tone, then put down the phone and said to his assistant Abraham, who was standing nearby, "Quick, get them ready for the car, and we'll leave for Duckburg at once." ”

……

As the car raced through the streets of New York, Jacob Schiff sat in the back seat and began to think seriously about how to impress the damned vampires of the Morgan and MacDonald families. Morgan just asked him to go to Duckburg, which is good news, but it is also bad news.

The reason for this is good news is that it shows that he still has use value, and he can sell it for a price, although it is inevitable to be cut or something, but it is better than being directly knocked over and destroyed. The reason this news is bad news is that it means that the MacDonalds and Morgans have reached a compromise on the handling of this matter, which makes it impossible for Jacob Schiff to take advantage of the contradictions between the two sides to raise the price.

"Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Morgan don't necessarily really want to bankrupt all the banks in the Midwest. This is sure to bring about a full-blown crisis. Of course, for guys like the MacDonald consortium or the Morgan consortium, the economic crisis is not a bad thing. In fact, as a result of every economic crisis, the McDonald and Morgan consortiums have tightened their grip on the U.S. economy. However, it may be a better choice to keep those banks in the Midwest in check. In short, whatever the purpose of Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Morgan, if I am willing to cooperate, it will be much easier for them to achieve their purpose. There will also be more money to be earned. Jacob Schiff thought as he prepared to sell his teammates.

"Can you drive faster?" Jacob Schiff said to the driver. It wouldn't have taken long to get from Manhattan to Morgan's house, but this time it was Duck Castle, damn Scrooge MacDonald, who built Duck Castle on the outskirts of the city. Today's New York is not as big as it was in later generations, but it takes even longer to get from the city center to the suburbs than later generations - because the road conditions were much worse than later generations.

"Sir, we're already fast. No matter how fast it is, it won't be safe. The driver replied.

This driver was able to become Jacob Schiff's driver not only because of his skills, but also because of his strong sense of safety. When several drivers were vying for the position, Jacob Schiff asked them the question: "How far away can you park your car from the cliff?" Many drivers answer that they are very close to show off their skills, but Tommy, who is now Jacob Schiff's driver, replies: "As far as you can." This answer won Tommy the bid, knowing that Jacob Schiff needed a driver who could drive safely, not an adventurous daredevil. But this time, for the first time, he felt that he might really need a driver who likes to drive fast.

……

It took three hours for Jacob Schiff to finally reach Duck Castle. By the time they arrived, the sun had already set over the sea - and it was getting dark.

"Mr. Jacob Schiff, Mr. MacDonald Jr., and Mr. Morgan Jr. are waiting for you. They asked me to ask you if you had dinner, and if not, please go to the office and come back to the office after eating. ”
