Chapter 249: The Dupont Family

From beginning to end, the Standard Bank of America and the North American Securities Investment Bank are shrouded in a veil of mystery, other companies need dozens or even hundreds of years to accumulate assets of more than 100 million, and the huge scale of branches throughout the United States, but these two small banks originally located in New York have reached it in less than three years!

Although the speed of development of the American Resources Company controlled by Starcross is also astonishing, his development, although the lucky component is too large, is still traceable!

"You can't be suspicious?" Morgan said as he suddenly realized something, and God asked with some surprise.

"Although I am only speculating, but Mr. Morgan, is there still a family or force in this world that can make two small banks expand into Citibank and Chase Bank in a few years? If it weren't for the support of the big forces behind him, how could they have found so many mineral deposits in a few years! Although I believe in God, I don't believe that there are really people in this world who can win his favor one after another!" Rockefeller spoke very quickly, but the meaning between the lines was very clear.

Listen to him. Morgan couldn't help but fall into deep thought, out of his usual caution. He didn't jump to conclusions.

"It was possible with the family's financial resources, but since 1872, when the family decided that the United States had limited potential, it withdrew all its money from the United States to Europe! Otherwise, we would not have been able to get out of their control and develop so smoothly to this day! Do they want to come back again?" Morgan said with some uncertainty in his tone.

In the past ten years, although the American economy has undergone another economic crisis in 1873, the rapid growth of railroad mileage has led to the great development of the entire American industry and commerce. The U.S. economy is now several times more productive and prosperous than it was a decade ago.

Moreover, the current US economy is still developing at a rate of more than 10 percent per year, and no one can predict the potential and scale of the development of the United States.

Although Rockefeller had such doubts, he was not very sure in his heart! After all, with the huge amount of funds of that family, they could completely control such big banks as the City Bank of New York and the First National Bank, and there was absolutely no need for them to redevelop around small banks such as the Standard Bank of the Americas and the North American Securities Investment Bank! This is not like what those arrogant guys can do! Thinking of these Rockefellers, he couldn't help but be a little skeptical about his original speculation.

"I don't think we're going to have to guess here! Isn't Starcross having a drinking party tonight, if they really have any connection to that family. If that's the case, then we have to be careful, that family has always been a super giant crocodile that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and even the royal families of various countries may not be able to compare with them!" Although Rockefeller had a smile on his face, the worry in his tone could be heard by Morgan, who was sitting opposite.

Then the carriage fell silent again. The two of them each thought about their own thoughts, and only the rolling carriage was left to carry them forward.

After about ten minutes, the carriage slowly stopped!

"Sir, here we are!" said the servant, opening the door of the carriage, with a respectful expression.

Get out of the carriage. At a glance, the two of them saw a luxurious villa with bright lights not far away!

"I don't understand how Starcross could build his home in a place like this. It's far away from the city and it's inconvenient, but the scenery here is really good!" Rockefeller said with a smile after looking left and right.

This era is an era of great urbanization, and citizens of almost every country yearn to be able to move to a luxurious city to live! Even the upper echelons of the United States, whether it is Morgan or Rockefeller, their homes are built in the interior of New York, although they also have their own estates in the suburbs, but they are only used for weekend holidays, and they do not live directly in the suburbs like Stark!

In fact, the reason why Starcross has this hobby is also influenced by Huo Shan, when Huo Shan came to the United States, he disliked the large number of people in the city and the chaos, every day the roar of the steam engine made the city full of a smell of coke, so Huo Shan complained for a long time! So even Starcross felt that the living environment in the city was indeed very bad! So after the company headquarters moved to New York, he moved his home to this suburb near the sea!

"Yes, it's quiet and the scenery is good, it's really a good place to settle down compared to the hustle and bustle of New York!" Morgan said after looking left and right, and couldn't help but say with some yearning.

"Why, you want to follow Stark's example and send your family to the suburbs!"

Morgan shook his head, although the environment here is indeed good, but if you take a carriage from here to his company, it will take at least forty minutes, and the delay on the road is too much! Every successful businessman will not allow time to be wasted in vain, and of course Morgan is the same!

"If we build a manor here, it would be good!" Of course, Rockefeller would not really move here, but now his Standard Oil Company and Starcross's American Resources Company have three or four cooperative oil projects! Moreover, the development potential of the American Resources Company is too great, and Rockefeller of course has to maintain a good relationship between the two sides! And if the two families live close to each other, they can still keep in touch with each other, so that it will naturally be beneficial to Standard Oil Company!

After listening to his words, Morgan also guessed what he thought, and he was also a little excited at the moment!

With the cross-shareholding between the American Resources Corporation, the American Standard Bank, and the North American Securities Investment Bank, this huge interest group, known as the American Consortium in the outside world, has a strong influence in the entire American business community! And Starcross, one of the three giants of this consortium, is also a top giant comparable to the current Morgan and Rockefeller! And in the future, if the Morgan family's business wants to develop, it will also have an intersection of interests with each other, so if the relationship between the two sides can be deepened, Morgan is of course very enthusiastic! Therefore, at this time, he also decided to build a holiday estate here!

So under Starcross's guidance, New York City's first affluent district was born!

With this talking, the two of them had already followed the wide stone path paved with bluestone to the main entrance of the villa!

"It's a great honor for the two of you to be able to enjoy the light, to participate in this meeting!" Starcross, who had already received a report from his subordinates before the two arrived, came to the door in advance to wait, whether it was the extraordinary business achievements of the two of them, or the special explanation of the young master, the two of them were worthy of him!

"Mr. Stark is so gracious, I think that with Mr. Stark's current status in the American business community, there should be no one who will not come to receive your invitation!" Rockefeller said with a smile. Relatively speaking, his relationship with Stark is closer than Morgan's, so there is a warm hug between the two!

Although they only shook hands, Morgan was not angry, after all, his company and Stark's Resources of the Americas did not have much intersection in the past, and today was the first time the two of them officially met!

Although it was still very early, the spacious and gorgeous hall was already full of people! Successful people with good clothes and makeup, famous ladies wearing gorgeous skirts, and waiters shuttling back and forth in the crowd made the whole hall full of lively atmosphere!

Morgan and Rockefeller are so well-known in the United States! And they are at the top of the pyramid in the American economic circles! So when Stark and the two people came in, all the people around them surrounded them!

All kinds of intimate greetings appeared around the two, and no one wants to waste this opportunity to pull the relationship!

Fortunately, the two of them have also been trained for a long time, so it is not too difficult to deal with this kind of scene!

At this time, on the sofa on the left side of the hall for guests to rest, sat more than a dozen white people of different ages but well-dressed, with the majesty of the superior all over their bodies!

From the momentum exuded by them and the eager gaze in the eyes of the people around them when they saw them, it can be seen that their identity is extraordinary!

"See, those two guys are here too!" At this time, an old man who was wearing a suit, but the expression on his face was extremely majestic, and his hair was already half white, turned his head to look at the crowd at the door, and said with a blank expression.

"What's so strange about this, we guys are here! How could Rockefeller and Morgan not come! And Standard Oil has always had a relationship with Resources Americas!" said a middle-aged man with a smile after taking a sip of the red wine on the table.

"If it weren't for the support of that family, their company would have grown to its current size so quickly?" said the old man with a majestic expression, with some disdain in his tone.

As the patriarch of the DuPont family and the actual controller of the DuPont Company, Ronald and Dupont have their own pride! Although Morgan and Rockefeller have more wealth than the entire DuPont family, the DuPont family, whose family history is almost as long as the history of the United States, is no less influential than the two of them in the United States! Moreover, the DuPont family has established the second trust in the United States! Therefore, the influence of the DuPont family is the top family in the United States, both in politics and business!
