Morgan looked at Marcus Hannah, who was older than him, and found it a little funny for some reason.

This old man is very interesting, originally when the market was bailed out last year, this thing actually wanted to be a short-term out of dissatisfaction with President Cleveland himself and the Democratic Cabinet.

But fortunately, he grabbed him, so he didn't let him fall into disrepute, and he gained a lot of respect.

Hannah ushered Morgan into the reception room.

"Are there any ashtrays?" Morgan looked at the cigar in his hand, and some of the ash had been spilled on the precious carpet.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man came over with a glittering golden ashtray.

"When I heard that the famous Mr. Morgan was coming, how could I be without an ashtray." McKinley smiled and handed over the ashtray.

Morgan calmly slammed the ash of his cigar inside.

The three of them sat down on the couch in the middle of the living room.

"I've talked to my guests and I'm going to give you $200,000 to fund your campaign." Morgan said straight to the point.

McKinley was still smiling, his expression not too undulating, maintaining a middle-class mildness.

"Mr. Morgan, thank you so much for your support and that of your guests." He said.

Hannah, on one side, did not hide it.

He and Morgan couldn't be more familiar with each other, so they directly told Morgan about their current predicament.

"We may have trouble in the west, and if we don't do it well, we are afraid that we will lose everything." Hannah said worriedly.

When Morgan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Hannah was displeased.

He and McKinley glanced at each other.

I'm anxious now, why is this big nose smiling so heartlessly? Are you laughing at yourself?

"Mr. Morgan, do you have any good ideas?" McKinley asked politely.

"There is a way, but I'm afraid you won't be able to do it." Morgan still smiled and said, "The rules in the west are probably different from those in the east. ”

McKinley and Hannah were confused.

Morgan continues:

"If you want to get things done in the western frontier, you'll have to find the 'King of the West'."

This sentence made the two of them even more confused.

They don't seem to have heard of any "king of the west".

"This man controls most of the railway companies in the west and holds the lifeblood of the western continent; Under his role, New Mexico became the most developed state in the West and recently joined the Union, making it richer than California. ”

"The guns, bullets and explosives that come out of his company are shipped to the world every day through ports in Mexico or California."

"His Sanjiang Bank is the largest bank in the western region with all over the country; His Border Detective Agency assists the state governments of every western state with their criminal cases and maintains law and order. ”

"Needless to say, New Mexico, he has a huge presence in Oklahoma, Wyoming, Utah, Kansas, California, Arizona."

"He's a creditor of the Federation and the patron saint of Hawaii, and I can't say he's the 'King of the West,' shouldn't be too much?"

Morgan told the man's resume like a bean, and the two were dumbfounded.

"However, this person is a Chinese." Morgan said.

McKinley and Hannah fell silent almost simultaneously.

After a long time, Hannah spoke:

"Morgan, is the person you are talking about surnamed Chen?"

Morgan took a drag on his cigar and nodded with a smile.

Now Hannah and McKinley have extremely mixed emotions.

For a Chinese, it can be said that such an achievement can be achieved in the United States, which can be said to be incredible.

"And what are his political leanings?" Hannah keenly captures the crux of the matter, "I've heard that he's saved Cleveland before and supported the Democratic state government in New Mexico. ”

"As a Chinese, he is very cautious." "I've never disclosed my tendencies in public," Morgan said. ”

"And, I would like to remind you that he still has a considerable number of Chinese votes in his hands."

McKinley frowned rarely:

"How is this possible, the bill ten years ago decided that the number of Chinese citizens will not increase again, and they will not get any civil rights!"

Morgan laughed again.

"Two, what year is this old calendar, that bill has long existed in name only! In western states such as California and New Mexico, new Chinese have obtained legal citizenship through various means, and they have received a good education and integrated into the local society. ”

He shook his head:

"If you turn a blind eye to this fact, there is no way to win the West."

Morgan and Hannah were silent again.

They had to accept the reality that now they had to enlist the support of a Chinese.

"Do we have a breakthrough?" This time it was McKinley who broke the silence, "You worked with him in the Wall Street bailout, can you introduce him to us?" ”

Morgan shook his head again:

"Unfortunately, the relationship between the two of us is not as good as you think, and we are more of a temporary partnership."

He did not tell the two about his gamble with Rockefeller.

Chen Jianqiu is very powerful now, but his reputation is far inferior to himself, and his strength is not as good as Rockefeller.

He had a hunch that there would be an invisible war between himself, Rockefeller, Carnegie and this Chinese.

"What then? Is there anyone in our party who is more familiar with him? Hannah stood up and grabbed his hair.

"Yes, Theodore Roosevelt." Morgan said.

Hearing the name, Hannah had another headache.

"Oh, it's him."

"This person is a thorn, he has a lot of ideas, he is not easy to control, he offended a lot of people last time he was a police chief in New York, and many of his ideas have some overlap with the Democratic Party." Hannah paced back and forth, very confused.

McKinley, who didn't talk much, suddenly spoke:

"I really admire this guy."

"He has a lot of knowledge in history and military affairs, and I have read his works on naval theory, and his views are very sharp. And I think he did the right thing in New York, and I really appreciate his way of doing things, and sometimes our government people should be as vigorous as he is. ”

McKinley's praise of Theodore Roosevelt made Hannah silent.

The two people have differences on many things, but they basically seek common ground while reserving differences, so that there will not be too much controversy, but complement each other.

"Let's go to Roosevelt first." Hanna made a decision.
