After listening to little Morgan's words, Rockefeller's heart moved, and he said with a smile on his face: "Pierponte, you should go to the White House and ask Mr. President, I'm just a businessman, and I don't know much about military things!"

"John, now that is the two of us most affected by the economic crisis and the damn war, don't you think we should work together to get through the current difficulties? Do you want DuPont and Mellon to climb on top of us?" said little Morgan with a solemn expression. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The fact that the head of the Morgan family, who is already faintly known as the first family in the United States, can say that it is because the situation of their family has reached a very dangerous situation.

Although at the beginning of the economic crisis, thanks to the reminder of Stark Roth, they were able to avoid a large loss in the stock market, but the bank run that occurred in the subsequent economic crisis also caused the Morgan family, which is mainly in the banking and financial industries, to decline significantly!

In addition, although the Morgan family is strong, their main business does not have a strong industrial foundation like Rockefeller, DuPont and Mellon, and their root is the financial industry, so among the top families in the United States, they are most threatened by the economic crisis and the Sino-American war, and they have the most losses!

And, as the economic crisis deepens and the impact of the war between China and the United States on the United States, the Morgan family thinkers have predicted that even if the United States can win the war, they will need at least five to ten years to recover. in order to restore the economy and industrial scale before the outbreak of the war.

But if it fails, then even if the United States will continue to exist with the support of Western countries, then a lot of land is lost. And then after the economic crisis and the weakening of the arms build-up war, their recovery period will become even longer, ten or twenty years, no one can know!

However, the Morgan family, which is mainly engaged in the financial industry, knows very well that the contraction of the US domestic market after the war is certain! and the contraction of the market also represents a decrease in economic vitality, which is very important for the financial industry as the core. The Morgan family, which started out as a financial speculator, couldn't be worse news!

Although the market in Europe is larger, there are too many ancient families and powerful forces there. And after getting out of the Rothschilds, they are used to freedom. Although the Far East is also a good choice, the business atmosphere there is really not very strong, even within the Huo Jiajun, which has a rapidly developing economy. The market size is also very limited. Not a very good choice!

Moreover, the Morgans did not want to give up the United States, which they had been running for generations. Therefore, they are now thinking about the future development of the family. If the United States can win the war, then the Morgan family will continue its current business strategy, with the financial industry at the heart of the family. But if the United States loses the war, then the Morgan family will have to consider transferring the core of the family to various industries! After all, the reconstruction of the United States is a very large market! The materials needed are even more huge!

"Pierponte, you're right! The number of troops on both sides has approached three million, throughout the ages. There are not many major wars of this scale, so even the best military strategists in the world can't predict who will win and who will lose this war, so I can't answer you either, but I know that no matter which side wins this war in the end, the economic structure of you and me must be adjusted!"

"Do you want to give up the oil industry now?" asked Morgan Jr., frowning.

"No, it's not to give up! The oil industry has always been an indispensable core of the Rockefeller family, but this economic crisis has made me understand that if the Rockefeller family only has one core, then it will be difficult to ensure the family's current status, so we need more industries to enrich the foundation of the Rockefeller family!" said Rockefeller Jr.

"That's why you bought two heavy steel plants in New York State?"

"Hehe, isn't the Morgan family also planning to enter the equipment manufacturing industry and the military industry? The New York military factory in New Jersey is an old military industrial enterprise! Although it can only produce pistols, I believe that with the financial resources of the Morgan family, it is not too difficult to make it a large-scale military factory second to none in the United States!" Rockefeller said with a smile.

For these families at the top of the American business world, they are each other's biggest competitors, so their every move will attract a lot of attention! Therefore, it is not surprising that neither Rockefeller nor Morgan knows each other's family movements.

"You two, it seems that you are talking very speculatively, why don't you talk to us about it?" Stark Ross said with a smile as he walked over with Mellon and DuPont, as well as some of the real predators in the American business world.

"Actually, it's nothing, we just talked about the purchase of $200 million in United States war bonds by the American consortium in one go, and I have to say that the courage of the three is very amazing!" said Morgan Jr. with a smile.

"Yes, the financial resources of the American consortium are really amazing, I believe that an economic crisis must make the three of them make a lot of money!"

At the beginning, thanks to the advance warning of the American consortium, the major families in the United States were protected from losses, but these American plutocracy, which had been soaked in money and interests, were also speculating that the American consortium, which had long predicted the economic crisis, must have gained huge wealth from the economic crisis that swept the United States and affected the world!

The previous purchase of US war bonds by the American consortium of 200 million US dollars, and the purchase of a large number of bankrupt factories by taking advantage of the economic crisis, seem to confirm everyone's speculation.

After listening to Rockefeller's words, looking at the eyes of everyone focused on him, Stark Ross couldn't help but smile faintly, after nearly five years of ups and downs in the business world, he is no longer the bottom of the society who is busy running around to support his family, whether it is scheming, resourcefulness, or even identity, Stark is already not what it used to be! Therefore, there is no special expression for the obvious temptation of the two.

"You two, whether it is buying treasury bonds or investing in industry, that is the decision of the American consortium! As for making money from the economic crisis, I think everyone here must have made a lot of money from it, right?"

As the top business family in the United States, they are extremely familiar with the rules of the financial industry, especially the stock market, and for them, it is too simple to make some money from it when they know in advance that the economic crisis will occur, but the difference is only how much!

"Well, gentlemen, it's been more than two years since the thirteenth economic crisis, and it doesn't make much sense for us to talk about how much money we've made!

"Yes, the reason why we gathered at Stark's manor tonight today is not to find out how much money we have made in the economic crisis, but to find a way out for everyone's future development!" At this time, DuPont, who was standing on the side, also said helpfully.

"All right, everyone, sit down!" said Stark Roth, the landlord, with a smile.

In the aftermath of the economic crisis, the status of the American consortium has risen to a new level in the entire American business community, and it has been called the sixth largest consortium after the Morgan, Rockefeller, Mellon, DuPont, and Boston consortiums!

Therefore, after receiving the invitation of Stark Ross and the other two giants of the American consortium this evening, almost all the main leaders of the major families and consortiums rushed over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all elites in the business world, and I believe you know a lot about the current economy and market in the United States, right?" said Stark Roth as he saw the crowd sit down.

"Mr. Stark, all of you are here today are the elite of the American business community, and if you have anything to say, please say it directly!" said John Lawrence, a representative of the Boston consortium, in a respectful tone. Although the Boston consortium is also the top consortium in the United States, they are composed of a number of wealthy families of equal strength, and they are inherently inferior to giants such as Morgan and Rockefeller, as well as giants such as the American consortium.

"In that case, then I'll just say it! Guys, I'm sure you all know the situation of the Sino-US war that is now on the line. In addition, according to the statements in the world's mainstream newspapers, the two sides of the war, all the armies combined, have approached three million, I believe you should understand that a war of this scale should not be able to end in a short period of time, and it is normal to fight for a year or two! However, if the war lasts for a year or two, coupled with the devastation of the economic crisis, what will be left of the United States?" After looking around for a moment, the thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, Stark continued: " A destitute treasury, tens of millions of unemployed, people in need of relief, and an infinitely shrinking economy and industry! After the end of the Civil War, all the wealth accumulated in the golden decade of the United States will be swallowed up! And we, who depend on this market for survival, will also fall into continuous decline!"

"Stark, is the situation really as serious as you say? After all, even if the American economy is in decline now, there will always be a day of recovery in the future!" Rockefeller asked with a serious expression.

"Hehe, serious? No, no! I don't think it's serious at all, you are all the top business families in the United States, and you have your own relationships in the political circles, you should understand how bad the current US finances have become, and the issuance of the $600 million war treasury bonds some time ago also means that the United States of America has advanced for this war, at least five years of fiscal revenue! In this way, even if the United States eventually wins the war, then they will not have much money to invest in reactivating the domestic market! and simply want to rely on the pull of the external market, then the time for this recovery will become incomparably long! It is conceivable that it will be in ten years, which is too long for us in the Americas to wait!" (To be continued. )
