Soon, he received a call back from Morgan, who told him that in view of the current crisis of the economy, it was necessary for them and some other bankers to have a discussion on economic issues. He built yì and this time the party took place on his newly bought yacht.

Morgan has always had a special hobby for yachting. In the original history, he spent a lot of money to build a 27-knots yacht called the "Corsair", and many decisions related to the direction of the American economy were made on that yacht. Being able to join the "Pirate" club has become a sign of the status of a top billionaire. But now, the legendary "Pirate" is far from being able to make an appearance. So at this time, Morgan's yacht was only a steamship that could sail no more than ten knots.

Morgan is a playboy, but after marrying Mimi, well, at least in front of Mimi, Morgan has restrained a lot. Because, Morgan is indeed very fond of Mimi. But it's one thing to love Mimi, it's another thing to get used to a playboy. Morgan quickly realized that one of the benefits of yachting was that it provided him with a place to continue working as a playboy. Mimi has seasickness so she never comes to the yacht. And she has always known that her husband's love for boats and the sea is very much. Before they got married, the husband would go to sea for a day or two almost every week. So she was also very loose about Morgan going to sea to play or something. Well, Morgan also took this opportunity to take his fox friends and dogs, as well as all kinds of beauties, to the sea and sky feast.

No one knew what Mrs. Morgan was really doing with her husband on that boat. However, considering that not long ago, Stanford in the newspaper focused on portraying the absurd stories of Morgan's Haitian feast, and to be honest, those stories are well written, and after reading them, they can elicit a certain reaction from men. So the issues of the newspaper sold very well. Did Mrs. Morgan really know nothing about this?

Mrs. Morgan knew it, Scrooge didn't know, but Dorothea knew about it completely. So, when she saw this invitation, Dorothea's face immediately changed, she looked at Scrooge with a smile, nodded slightly, and said, "Scrooge, you must be looking forward to this trip, right?" ”

"Hell, I don't like that? I have seasickness! Scrooge immediately straightened his face and said. So with Dorothea's smile on her face, Scrooge sent a telegram back to Morgan. In the telegram, Scrooge told Morgan that because he had recently suffered from seasickness (he and Morgan had been out to sea, and there was no seasickness at all), it would be better for him to change somewhere else. In addition, he made a point of emphasizing that his fiancée, Miss Dorothea, would be coming with him to New York.

Soon he received a call back that Morgan would receive them at his family's estate.

……

"Dorothea, Morgan is a very perceptive, very adventurous man, a highly educated man, and a courteous man when necessary. However, this is all an illusion. Morgan has a bad temper, is arrogant, and habitually has a sarcastic attitude towards everything. Overall, not a very good person to work with. Before leaving, Scrooge introduced Morgan to Dorothea like this.

"Such a person must be particularly annoying. But aren't bankers supposed to be very good at dealing with people? If that's the case, how could Morgan be what you call 'the best banker'? ”

"yes, so Morgan only likes to deal with bankers who are good at dealing with people." Scrooge laughed, "Otherwise, how can you say that he is a 'banker's banker'." Morgan's greatest strength lies in his vision and adventurous spirit, well, he can see the real trend behind the chaos compared to the average banker, and he has the courage to take risks to catch it. This allows him to always make the right and decisive choices when it matters most. Well, with this advantage, his bad temper or something doesn't matter. ”

Speaking of this, Scrooge suddenly thought that in the original history, Morgan was inseparable from crises and so on in almost every big exhibition, relying on the crisis of 1857 and the ensuing war, he successfully got rid of the influence and control of European capital on his family, and in the crisis of 1865, he had this opportunity to successfully buy back a large section of the railway from the control of European capital at a low price. With every economic crisis, Morgan has been able to take a big step forward and almost never make a mistake in the wrong direction. "Isn't this guy a traverser too?" Scrooge couldn't help but think.

"Oh, if that's the case, then this guy is really amazing." Dorothea said, "It's not unacceptable to have such a skill, and to have more faults." ”

"Ah, Dorothea, you're such a good girl." Scrooge said, "It seems that if I had a little more fault, you would have accepted it, wouldn't you?" You know, I can make more money than Morgan. ”

"Die, right? Where do you have advantages? I can still tolerate you, a villain, if you were someone else, I would have kicked you to China a long time ago! Dorothea became proud again.

However, it is true that Scrooge said that he would make more money than Morgan, and Morgan preferred to control the power of the entire economic world, and compared to his huge influence in the economic world, the money he himself made was actually not much. At the most, the king of Wall Street, who was able to drive tens of billions of funds through guò finance and other means, died when he died, and the real assets under his name were actually less than 100 million.

……

At Morgan's estate, Scrooge met Morgan and some of the other big bankers affiliated with his system. After greeting everyone for a while, they gradually got to the point. At this time, Mrs. Mimi also took Dorothea to visit the manor. The rest of the men began to discuss their big things.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the economy has been quite turbulent lately, and it has caused us a lot of trouble. As you all know, in such turmoil, a single wrong decision can lead to irreparable damage. Every big economic upheaval can bring a large group of businesses to the end of a large group of businesses, and it will also make another group of people very successful. Today, Mr. Morgan invited us all together in the hope that when the crisis comes, we can help each other and achieve greater success. "The foreword is Morgan's friend Denardi, a playboy like Morgan.

"I wonder what Mr. MacDonald thinks of the current form?" Someone asked.

"My opinion is simple. The crisis is a great danger for small capital, but for big capital like ours, it is indeed a rare opportunity. It gives us a clearer picture of which assets are good and which are not. And it gives us an opportunity to integrate the industry. When the economy is good, the rotten enterprises of cats and dogs can survive, just like the weeds that grow in the fields in spring and summer. And when it comes to the crisis, these weeds are eliminated, so there is room for those companies that really have a future. Previously, many of our industries were too chaotic, without an overall plan, just like oil and steel, which non-technical enterprises were eliminated, for the time being, our market has become depressed, but this provides space for the growth of high-quality enterprises. So that's definitely a good thing in the long run. McDonald Steel and Standard Oil, for example, will replace the companies that are lagging behind, and move our economy towards a healthier tomorrow. Of course, Scrooge did not allow the oath of sovereignty in the oil and steel fields, "Therefore, if you want to invest in these two directions, you must think clearly about whether the invested enterprises have their own real competitiveness and can stand in the competition." ”

"So what does Mr. MacDonald think about the other industries besides these two industries?" Someone asked again. Scrooge understood that he was asking him how much land he wanted to enclose and which areas he was willing to set aside for everyone to make money.

"I think there will also be a large-scale survival of the fittest on the railways." "With the temporary slump in oil and steel, the overcapacity of the railways has become more prominent," Scrooge said. To be honest, the original railway construction was so chaotic and unplanned that there were a lot of redundant lines that were duplicated. Some European capital, which only wants to make money, but has no social responsibility, controls a large number of railways and squeezes the wealth of us Americans. Now the impending railway crisis will be a good opportunity, a good opportunity to expel European capital from the United States. It's just that my energy is limited, and it's hard for me to take responsibility in this area, so it's up to everyone to take responsibility.

In addition, the whole world is one, and I would like to remind everyone that we can turn our attention to Europe, because the losses suffered by European capital in the United States will inevitably lead to a corresponding reaction in Europe. In fact, the reason why European capital is investing indiscriminately in the United States in sectors such as railways is because Europe's economy is not in good shape, so that they cannot find anything worth investing in. Our railways have become the destination of hot money in Europe. The losses they have now suffered in the United States are bound to exacerbate their already dangerous economy. By that time, it would have been almost impossible for them not to break out the war. Isn't this the time for our financial forces to strike back at Europe? ”

"Mr. MacDonald means ......"

……

After a day of discussions, Scrooge and the Morgan Group reached an agreement to divide the spoils: Scrooge would take oil and steel, as well as iron ore, and the Morgan Group would gain a sphere of influence that included railroads, navigation, and European government bonds. Both sides were satisfied with the result, and in general it was a successful meeting, a victorious one.
