February 7, 19o8 (34th year of Guangxu), New York.

Tonight, at a manor house outside New York City, a high-level cocktail party is taking place. The participants in this reception are all the top wealthy families in the United States. The organizer was Morgan, and the guests included several other established consortia such as Kuhn Lobb, Rockefeller, and DuPont, as well as the newly entered Zenith, Mellon, and Cleveland conglomerates, as well as several well-known wealthy people from Chicago, Boston, and other areas.

Almost all of the top leaders and main persons in charge of these wealthy families came, and any one of them came out, at least they were worth tens of millions. Naturally, these people are not gathered here to drink, they are specially holding a party in response to the economic crisis that broke last year.

After extricating themselves from the economic crisis in 19o4, only three years later, a new economic crisis broke out in the capitalist countries in 19o7. This time the economic crisis began in the United States. The steel industry was the first to be hit, followed by a sharp decline in the stock market. From January ~ November 19o7, the price of railroad stocks in the United States fell by 34%, and the price of industrial stocks fell by 4o%. A large number of businesses went bankrupt in the economic crisis. In 19o7~19o8, there were 312 bankrupt credit institutions in the United States, and more than 274oo bankrupt industrial and commercial enterprises. During the economic crisis, steel production in the United States fell by 38~4o%, and the entire processing industry fell by 17%.

Among European countries, Britain was hit the hardest by this economic crisis, with the decline in the index of industrial production being 2 times wider than during the crisis of 19oo, steel production falling by 19%, and shipbuilding by 48%. Germany was not hit lightly, with steel production falling by 13 percent, construction by 36 percent and shipbuilding by almost 36 percent. The crisis hit France lightly, because before the crisis the French economy had not yet formed a boom, and heavy industry had not yet fully developed in France. As a result, the decline in France's steel industry and other industries during the crisis was relatively modest, with the decline of less than 2% for the industry as a whole and less than 5% for the construction industry.

The economic crisis affected Russia and Japan, as well as many colonial and semi-colonial countries. The breadth of the crisis shows that the imperialist world system has finally taken shape, and not only the economic crisis of the imperialist countries has exploded at the same time, but also the economically backward colonies and dependent countries have been increasingly involved in the cycle of reproduction of the imperialist countries.

The economic crisis of such a strict zhòng makes these old giants unable to sit still. So under Morgan's leadership, this conference was specially organized, and everyone was ready to unite to save the American economy.

However, among these giants, the Zenith Star Consortium was the least affected, but took advantage of the economic downturn to make a big comeback. In particular, the acquisition of a number of steel mills, shipyards, machine shops, mines, farms, etc. There is also the railway, the Zenith company bought more than 6ooo kilometers of steel rails at a price lower than scrap iron, and then packed and sent them to China.

He also took advantage of the collapse of the land and bought a lot of mines that were not yet present in this era or were not valued, such as several famous rare earth mines, uranium mines, platinum group mines, lithium mines, molybdenum mines, tungsten mines, in addition, there are some copper, lead and zinc, mercury, gold, silver, zircon, sulfur, phosphorus, boron, trona, barite, coal and other mines, anyway, there are more reserves in later generations, and they are also preparing to acquire. These mines do not have to be mined immediately, and the land is occupied first.

The acquisition of mines was not limited to the United States, but after the mass production of the banknotes of the great powers, he was even more emboldened, and he can now declare that he has finally become "a man who is so poor that he only has money left". He has ordered branches around the world to buy land all over the world using thousands of registered vest companies. The main ones are those mines that have not yet appeared, or are not taken seriously. If there is an opportunity, those mines that have already started production, as long as they can be bought, should also get their hands on them. Anyway, what Lao Tzu has is money, waka kaka......

In this gathering of wealthy families, the head of the Zenith Consortium, Mr. Banazar Sis, is undoubtedly the most high-profile of them, although he is still a newcomer to the circle of capitalist predators, but the Zenith Consortium has undoubtedly created a miracle. In less than 2 years, the venerable Mr. Sith has gone from an obscure **-silk adventurer to a tycoon and established a huge plutocracy. This kind of rocket-like ascension is enough to make everyone envious, jealous and hateful.

Well, these top tycoons have long figured out the identity of Banazal, which is also normal, and in the face of such a "miracle child", it would be strange not to find out. It's just that the precious news they spent a lot of effort to get was all wanted to let them know, and their identity, life experience, experience, and all of them were all carefully forged Xibei cargo information.

According to their understanding, Banazal's ancestors were German immigrants, and he and Xingke were both born in a remote town in northern Montana, near Canada. Wendesi and Banazar and a group of friends in the town have been playing together since they were children, and they are iron buddies (or iron sisters), and they are very adventurous and often run to the Rocky Mountains to play. After graduating from high school, this group of young people left the town in 6 to find their own life. Later, they formed an expedition and found a treasure somewhere in India, and they reached it in an instant. Then it was to start a business with the money from selling treasures, until now.

In particular, Banazal's experience is simply a legend in the world. Well, in fact, Wen Deji just changed "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Tomb Raider" as his own experience, and made those spies spend a lot of effort to get it. As for that remote town, of course it's true, but the people in it have basically changed, and the few who haven't been changed have also been hypnotized. Anyway, their status as an American citizen is already absolutely real.

So, now Indiana Jones, well, I'm talking about Mr. Banazal Sith, is not only an upstart in the big circles, but also a very low-key adventurer, even though he never talks about his adventures publicly, which only reinforces his authenticity. Believe it or not, Mr. Morgan does. Therefore, every time he attends this kind of party, he will get a lot of eyeballs.

Of course, and most importantly, the venerable Mr. Banazal was still single, his parents died young, and the Sith family had only a few distant relatives. In other words, Banazal is the standard "Diamond King Five", and if he can marry Mr. Banazal, then his grandson (nephew) is the natural heir to the Zenith Consortium and the Sith family...... Most of the wealthy tycoons, including Morgan, want to be his father-in-law or brother-in-law.

What's more, Banazal is still a standard beautiful man, he has a Greek statue-like appearance, a strong physique, a resolute look, a democratic and handsome face, uh, as if he said something wrong...... Anyway, you know he's a big handsome guy. The superposition of these various factors simply made the eyes of those celebrities and ladies glow green, and they wanted to swallow him in one bite.

The leaders of each consortium showed up at the reception and went upstairs to the conference room for a formal meeting.

Most of the old chaebols greeted Banazar affectionately, but only the old Rockefeller's expression was unnatural, and he seemed to have some itchy teeth. However, the people here know the inside story, so they pretend not to see it.

The reason is simple, it is just because of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

The reason for this was that last year, the venerable Mr. Banazal, who had no idea what to think, suddenly started to play with oil in his brain, and he bought all the 2oo square kilometers of land in Tampico in Mexico. Then start diamond oil. Although there were rumors that there were big oil fields in Mexico a few years ago, this news has pitted many people, and all those who have diamond oil there have either only drilled stones or groundwater, and the luckiest ones have found a few oil wells, but the production is so low that they can't even get back.

Anyway, basically all the diamond oil over there lost all their money, including Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company, and they drilled dozens of wells in one go, and they were all blind. So at first, Rockefeller didn't care about the behavior of Zenith, but was a little waiting to see a good show.

But the old Rockefeller was soon blinded, and Banazar was like a pig's foot halo, and the first well drilled at the end of November produced oil, and it was still a high-production well with a daily output of 3ooo barrels. Fortunately, the second well did not produce oil, but a week later, the third well was made again, with a daily output of 5ooo barrels...... When the tenth oil well with a daily output of 8ooo barrels was drilled on January 1o this year, the elder Rockefeller almost slapped himself twice. If he knew that there were still a few oil wells with a daily output of more than 10,000 barrels that had not been drilled on purpose, it was estimated that he would have given himself the heart to cut two knives.

Nima, he has several abandoned wells in the vicinity, the nearest one is less than 2oo meters away from the high-production well with a daily output of 8ooo barrels. It's a pity that he himself judged that there could be no oil there, and half sold it and half gave it to the Zenith Group, which was eager to buy land and find oil. Lao Luo was originally going to watch the layman's joke of the minibus classmate, but he didn't expect to become a joke. Hearing that because of this, Morgan laughed in the office for more than ten minutes. The DuPont brothers laughed so hard that they almost fell off their new car......

If the one who drilled the big oil well was one with no background, with Lao Luo's consistent style, he would have already come to the door to grab it with both soft and hard. The Rockefeller family's reputation for brawl is world-famous, and when the coal miners' strike was suppressed a few years ago, tens of thousands of gunmen were dispatched. Those coal blacks were not fuel-efficient lamps either, with an average of three guns per man, but they were still blown up by the Luo Jiajun.

However, this trick is ineffective against the Zenith, and the Blackwater Company under the command of Xiaoba now has 5ooo multi-professional fighters, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to those coal blacks, and they even have armored vehicles and artillery. Besides, Lao Luo's trick is only used for **-silk like coal blacks, and has never been used against other predators, after all, their main business is still business, not war.

Lao Luo is now too late to regret it, but he can't help his classmates in the minibus, whether soft or hard, black or white. Since he can't help it, and he is not a saint, it would be strange if he could still give Banazar a good look.

Morgan tapped on the table, and everyone stopped chatting.

"Gentlemen, last year's economic crisis was really unfortunate, and this misfortune has continued to this year......" Morgan did not go around in circles, and directly said the main topic: "All of you here are the pillars of the United States, and Mr. President hopes that you can stand up and do what you can for economic recovery......

Mellon asked, "Mr. Morgan, it's good for everyone to speed up the economic recovery, and if you can do it, I don't think you will shirk it, then what should we do?"

Morgan, a financial expert himself, gushed out right now: "Banks should lower lending rates, support small and medium-sized enterprises, increase the import and export of goods, and increase employment." In addition, companies should increase the income of their employees and stabilize the price level to stimulate consumption......"

In fact, there is not a layman here, and they don't know these methods mentioned by Morgan. But it's one thing to know, it's another to do. For these wealthy families, it is not difficult to do these things, but it is difficult to give up good money. It's not an easy decision to cut your profits to save the economy.

Morgan finished speaking, but none of the guys squeaked, and the whole room was silent. Many bigwigs know that Morgan and Roosevelt are good friends, and they can't help but secretly criticize in their hearts: Nima, you will support your friends, but why does Lao Tzu want to pay for it?

"Gentlemen, you should understand that if the economy continues to recession, it will not be beneficial to you......" Morgan said sternly: "I will start first, all the banks under my Morgan consortium will cut interest rates by 5% from now on, and staff salaries will be raised by 2o%, and 5oo small and medium-sized enterprises will be selected to support ......."

To be honest, among the big American chaebols at that time, Morgan was the most upright and disciplined, and he was more particular about his appearance. Of course, this is relatively speaking, at least compared to Rockefeller, who likes to suppress striking workers with private soldiers, and DuPont, who likes to invite competitors to take "dirt planes", the old Morgan is already considered to be kind-hearted.

The crowd was quieter. Looking at these pig teammates who don't know the general situation, Morgan is the fire in his heart. But he can't do anything about these guys, he can't tear his face.

At this time, Banazal, who had been silent, stood up and said: "Mr. Morgan has a very good point, if the country's economy collapses, all of us will be unlucky. We are in a boat, and now the ship is in water, and we are the ones on the ship who have the ability to plug the leak, although we will pay a lot of money to plug the leak, but it is the best choice than the ship sinks. And, personally, I feel that as the economy recovers, the price we pay now, will pay more in return......"

Banazar continued: "...... Our Zenith Consortium is also willing to implement Mr. Morgan's construction, Saturn Bank and Mars Bank will cut interest rates by 5o from now on, and the employees of various enterprises affiliated to the Zenith Consortium will raise their salaries by 2o%, and select 15o small and medium-sized enterprises to support, hehe, our strength cannot be compared with the Morgan Consortium, we can only support a little less......"

"Dear Banazal, you are a true gentleman......" Morgan stood up and bowed to him, his eyes full of gratitude. Finally, one of them stood up to support him!

"Thank you for your appreciation, I don't think anyone who is smart will refuse to do this kind of thing......" Banazal replied elegantly, and then looked at Lao Luo and the others with a smile.

"Hmph......" Lao Luo's face changed several colors, and he turned around and ignored it.

The DuPont brothers discussed in a low voice for a while, and finally said: "Since Mr. Morgan and Mr. Sith have made it so clear, our DuPont consortium is also willing to contribute to support the country, and the other numbers are the same as the two, and the small and medium-sized enterprises supported are temporarily set at 3oo...... "During this time, there is also a lot of cooperation between Zenith Star and DuPont, and this face cannot but be bought, not to mention Morgan's face."

In this way, the other bigwigs can't help but express their positions, and they are more or less bloody. In the end, everyone looked at Lao Luo, and the old man held back for a while, but he still gave in under the eyes of everyone. He gritted his teeth and said, "...... The Rockefeller consortium also has this plan, and our numbers are the same as Morgan...... "Nima, at least not lower than the old rival Morgan!"

........................................................................

After the meeting, Morgan invited Banazal to his study for a private meeting.

Morgan took a sip of his coffee and said, "Barna, if you hadn't come forward to agree, those guys wouldn't have been able to let go so easily......"

He was grateful for Banazal's cousin. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to his good friend Roosevelt. What's more, the cooperation during this period of time is that he feels that Banazal is indeed a rare talent, and their partnership with the American Broadcasting Corporation (aBc) has not only made a lot of money, but has also begun to play an unimaginable role in public opinion control.

"Hehehe, I'm just telling the truth......" Banazar smiled.

"Well, who doesn't understand those guys, but when it comes to money, these guys would rather be blind......," Morgan sighed.

The two chatted for a while, and Banazal said, "Mr. Morgan, I wonder if you are interested in copper mines?"

"Copper mines? Are you going to make Mr. Rockefeller laugh again...... Now that the copper mines in the United States are basically in the hands of the Rockefeller consortium, Morgan couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the Mexican oil fields.

"No, no, no, you're mistaken. I've always had a lot of respect for Mr. Rockefeller, and the last time I was in the oil field, it was just my luck, hehe......" Barnazar explained, Morgan shrugged indifferently.

"Of course, although it was not my intention, I am sorry that it has caused trouble to Mr. Rockefeller. So, I don't want to irritate him anymore, I'm talking about this copper mine is not in the United States......"

"Oh, is it Chile? Over there is Annaconda and Kennecott, and my relationship with these families is just average, so it's not easy for you to intervene......"

"Of course it's not Chile, I'm talking about this ......" Banazal walked over to the globe, turned it half a circle, and pointed to a location.

"Philippines?" Morgan was stunned for a moment, then said, "As far as I know, there are only a few small copper mines there......

Banazal explained with a smile: "No, there is a big copper mine there, although not as good as Chile, but at least the largest in Southeast Asia...... Moreover, chromite and iron ore are also abundant there, as well as oil, marble, and silica sand. You can trust our experts who have obtained accurate information...... The current Governor of the Philippines is a good friend of yours, and if you are in charge of the network and I am in charge of providing the technology, I don't think there will be any problem......"

The minerals of the Philippines, mainly copper ore and chromite, have long been in mind by Wen Desi, although the Philippines does not have the most of these two mines, but there are still many more than China, which is too short of copper and chromium. The most important thing is that it is the closest to China and a colony compared to other more cattle producing areas, such as Chile and South Africa.

At least in 3o years, Mr. Wen has no plans to turn around with the United States, and if he wants to deal with the minerals of the Philippines, he can only use economic means. Although the Zenith Company is awesome, its roots in the United States are too shallow, and it can only cooperate with old chaebols like Morgan.

Morgan thought for a moment and said, "I can trust the technical power of your Zenith, but what about the market?"

"You can rest assured that my friends in China need a lot of copper, chromium, iron, oil, and all kinds ......of minerals, and they need as much as they want," Banazal thought to himself, and the little output in the Philippines may not even be able to meet the needs in a few years.

"It's not a big deal, I agree. As for the shares, I just want a 3o%. In addition, we should give 1o% ...... to the local bureaucrats and tyrants."

"No problem......

Morgan stood up and took out a bottle of champagne and opened it, the two touched the glass, and the minerals of the Philippines were the owner.

With Morgan's net worth, the profits brought by the Philippines' little minerals can't make him particularly concerned, it's just a small episode. His private meeting with Banazar had another purpose.

"Barna, you're 28 years old...... Morgan asked kindly with the attitude of an elder.

"That's right......" Banazal's heart tightened, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Morgan said with a smile: "At my age, I already have two sons and a daughter...... With such a big family business as Zenith, aren't you planning to have an heir?"

Banazal laughed dryly: "Hehe, you know, I have been running around the world with a few friends in the past few years, how can I have time to meet women......"

"What do you think of Illya, who has been running to you a lot all this time?" Morgan asked sternly, smiling away.

Illya is his granddaughter, 18 years old this year, currently working as a host at aBc, and under the deliberate hype of aBc and Zenith, she is already a household name in the United States. After this girl met Banazar a few times, she was cute by her classmates in the minibus, and then began to chase after her. Often under the pretext of asking for business problems, he went to Banazar to play at home.

Of course, Morgan Sr. and Morgan Jr. knew the whereabouts of their own girl, but they also thought that the minibus was a great choice, so they turned a blind eye, and now Morgan Sr. felt that it was time to flop.

"Illya is a good girl, and I like ......," Banazal said with a blushing face. Although Illya is not that kind of stunning beauty, she also has a score of 85, and her personality is relatively good, she has no eldest lady's temper, and her voice is excellent, and her voice is very cute. For this girl, the minibus itself is still very satisfied.

He had already reported the matter of the two of them to Wen Dehei. After laughing wildly for five minutes, Mr. Wen asked Banazal and Morgan to marry, and said that Banazal was "sacrificing his life for the country" and had a great merit.

A week later, both the Morgan and Zenith Consortium announced that the Chairman of the Zenith Consortium, Mr. Banazar Siss, was engaged to the elder Morgan's granddaughter, Elijah Morgan. After the news came out, the hearts of many ladies were broken.

Many chaebol bigwigs even said:, Morgan, the old fox is too cunning, he is so ruthless and fast, and he actually acts as a matchmaker for his granddaughter in person, he really doesn't even want to have a face. At the same time, they all regretted that they were late, so they were reserved for a while, and as a result, they let go of a big golden beetle son-in-law.

The Dupont brothers, in particular, beat their chests with regret. Last year, they cooperated with Zenith on a lot of projects, and in terms of the close relationship between Cheng Dù is not much worse than Morgan, if you don't have to be embarrassed earlier and have a direct showdown, the minibus classmate will be the son-in-law of the DuPont family. As a result, he was just reserved and cheapened Morgan's shameless old fox.
