From the thick fingers, you can vaguely see that the headline on it reads: 'The United States Army defeated the squadron at Erie, annihilated 200,000 enemies, and recovered Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan! The United States will win the final victory in this war!"

"Shit, these politicians are just talking about it, and they're just going to deceive the ignorant people now. What defeated the squadron, annihilated 200,000 enemies, and recovered Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan. Why didn't they say that this was given to them by the Chinese after they took the initiative to retreat. Why don't they say that for this, they paid for the lives of hundreds of thousands of American boys, and 1.5 million dead and wounded!" Andrew Mellon couldn't help but curse.

After listening to him, John Pierpont Morgan, who was sitting opposite, smiled faintly, leaned back on the sofa, and said, "All right, Andrew! If they really dare to say this, then they are not politicians!"

"Freedom and democracy are nothing more than a pretense to deceive the ignorant people!"

Hearing this, Andrew Mellon narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his head to look at John Rockefeller, who was sitting on the main seat and was silently holding his chin with his hand, and asked in a condensed voice: "John, it's so late, you didn't bring me and Pierpont here to be in a daze with you, right?"

Hearing his words, John Rockefeller raised his head and glanced at the two of them, and said with a faint smile: "It's not enough to be in a daze, but is there any place in the United States now that allows us to squander the rest of our energy?"

"What do you mean by that?" Andrew Mellon continued with a blank face.

"Hehe, it's not interesting? It's just that I saw Henry's guy during this time, taking advantage of the Sino-American war. I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart because I have made a lot of war money, and I just want to talk to you!" John Rockefeller said indifferently.

After listening to his words, Morgan Jr. and Andrew Mellon looked at each other. The looks on both sides' faces are so good-looking.

Originally, the Mellon family, the Morgan family, the Rockefeller family, and the DuPont family. It is the four major chaebols with the strongest economic power in the United States. Even the Rockefeller family founded the first trust in the United States, Standard Oil. But all this was ruined by the sudden economic crisis and the Sino-US war.

Although before the economic crisis hit. They were reminded by Stark Ross, president of Resources America, and John Smith, president of Standard Bank, to withdraw their money from the stock market in time, thus avoiding the loss of their wealth and even making a lot of money from the economic crisis.

But the economic situation in the United States is becoming more and more dire. The chaotic domestic order, the already impoverished domestic population, and the heavy losses of the Sino-American war make them see no way out for the United States of America.

You must know that at this time, these big chaebols have not really operated across industries.

Whether it is the Morgan family, which is centered on the financial industry, the Rockefeller family, which is mainly engaged in oil refining and transportation, and the Mellon family, which is the theme of banks and financial trusts, the ability to resist risks cannot be compared with the supertrusts they formed in later generations, which were linked by banks and united steel, shipbuilding, automobiles, coal and many other industrial enterprises.

Of course. There is another exception among the four major families, that is, the DuPont family, which is centered on the military industry, and the DuPont family, which controls the 'American Gunpowder Association' and the Hazard Gunpowder Company, not only did not weaken in the slightest in the Sino-American war. Even with the rapid development of the US government's arms orders, the Rockefeller family, the Mellon family and the Morgan family have been far behind.

If there is a family in the United States that wants this war to never end, it must be the DuPonts.

Of course, in the face of this feast of wealth, the Morgan, Mellon and Rockefeller families are of course also salivating, but the DuPont family was the earliest in the arms industry, and has long established a solid industry barrier, firmly blocking the three of them. While eating meat by himself, he only left some soup and water for the three major families.

Of course, the DuPont family's behavior of eating alone inevitably caused their dissatisfaction.

It's just that the three major families didn't find the right time to fight back for a while.

"John, there are no outsiders here, if you have any better ideas, just say it!" said Morgan Jr., staring at John Rockefeller with a serious expression.

"Yes, John, everyone is in the same situation now, there is nothing that cannot be said!" said Andrew Mellon, who was also beside him.

After listening to their words, the expression on John D. Rockefeller's face did not change in the slightest, but the content of his words changed suddenly.

"What are you thinking about the Chinese inviting us to invest in the past?"

Hearing this, little Morgan's eyes shrank, lifted Erlang's legs, and asked with a smile, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"Hehe, just curious!

Although he said so, the people who can sit here today are the heads of their respective families, and even the founders, all of them are old foxes with deep thoughts and extraordinary skills, and they will never say their true thoughts in their hearts until they get a positive answer.

"Both, if you continue to be so verbose, then I'll take my leave! The company has a lot of things to deal with tomorrow, but I don't have time to listen to you go around in circles here. Andrew Mellon stood up and said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

But he's just putting on a show now, and he won't leave until he knows what the two of them really think.

"Hehe, Andrew, sit down! that's not nonsense!" Rockefeller smiled and stretched out his hand to motionfor Andrew Mellon to sit down.

"Pierponte, Andrew, I'm going to invest a million in Los Angeles and open a flour mill and a seafood mill. Speaking of this, Rockefeller smiled and patted his head, and said with a little meaning: "Sorry, I forgot, now it has been renamed OCT by the Chinese, to be honest, I don't like this name!"

After listening to his words, Andrew Mellon and Morgan Jr. looked at each other, Andrew May solemnly returned to his seat, looked at Rockefeller, and asked with a smile: "When will our oil trust not play with oil, but go to those small industries! Why? The Chinese did not promise to return the Texas oil fields to you?"

Hearing this, a gloomy look flashed in Rockefeller's eyes, when his Standard Oil Company bought the Texas oil field from Stark Ross three years ago, it used up almost all the funds in its activities, and even mortgaged many Standard Oil well in Pennsylvania to the bank in order to raise funds, and finally took the oil field from the American Resources Company.

However, when he spent more than a year building the oil pipeline and terminal from Dallas to Port Arthur, and was about to reap the fruits of victory, he did not expect the Sino-American war to break out like this.

Then, in less than two months, the Chinese Army quickly occupied Texas and confiscated the factory facilities that were originally owned by the Americans, so that almost all of his initial investment was wasted.

If it weren't for the fact that he made a lot of money in the New York stock market before the economic crisis, and then got a prompt from Stark Ross to get the money out of the stock market in time, I'm afraid that the loss of this oil field alone would have been enough to bankrupt Rockefeller.

Therefore, what Rockefeller hopes most now is to negotiate with the Chinese to get the Texas oil fields back. However, contrary to his wishes, from the mouth of the Chinese minister, he got the answer he least wanted to hear.

"The spoils of war shall be nationalized!" One sentence confiscated the oil fields in which Rockefeller had invested nearly $200 million! How could this not make John Rockefeller angry.

However, even if he gets angry again, it won't help, after all, the Chinese army doesn't reason with you.

Because of this, although Stark Roth strongly invited him to invest in the vast area west of the Mississippi River controlled by the Chinese People's Army, the face-saving Rockefeller only invested the equivalent of a million dollars, investing in a few inconsequential light industrial factories in Los Angeles.

"Don't talk about me, don't you say the same yourself?"

After hearing his words, Morgan Jr. and Andrew Mellon looked at each other and then fell silent.

Rockefeller was indeed not wrong just now, when they faced Stark Ross's invitation, they only made a perfunctory investment in a small factory.

"The Chinese restrict us from engaging in the financial industry!" said Morgan Jr. and shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

The Morgan family's main business is finance, and their interest in banking, finance and trust investment is much higher than that of industrial investment.

But it is clear that Huo Jiajun's internal business, although it has been vigorously developing for nearly five years. However, apart from Huo Jiajun's government-run factories and the factories and enterprises established by the Huo family themselves, there are still very few other powerful private enterprises, no formal state has been established, and there are also big loopholes in the financial order.

Therefore, the Huo Family Military Administration Yuan will never put a financial predator like the Morgan family in.

"I don't trust the yellow-skinned infidels!" Andrew Mellon said in a simple but clear sentence.
