The journey starts from the Titanic

"Hey. Stone, your kid is not honest! Old Schiff actually gave you the shares of the City Bank of New York." Morgan, who was opposite Situ Nan, looked at Situ Nan with a cigar in his hand. With Morgan's arrogance.

"Haha. It's just a meal. He can afford it, so I can't refuse it. But I'm also a soy sauce player. The real big shot is you! You have to rely on Jack to take care of my little brother."

Situ Nan smiled and said, turning his head to look at the little Rockefeller next to him. Now the Rockefeller family is the major shareholder of the City Bank of New York.

"Fighting soy sauce?" Little Rockefeller looked at Situ Nan with some doubts.

"Uh, soy sauce means to join in the fun." Situ Nan explained, "My 5% of the shares are a minority shareholder, and I haven't followed Rockefeller to eat a meal."

"It's not honest!" Little Rockefeller and Morgan met with a smile, 5% is not a small number.They were a little afraid of the enchanting Situ Nan, but Situ Nan had always been very acquainted, and rarely went to New York to carry out any conspiracies, which made Rockefeller a little relieved.You know there is a peaceful and cunning Mellon behind him!

"By the way, Jack (can't call the last name), I heard that you were recruited? Are you okay?" Situ Nan looked at Morgan with a sincerely concerned expression.

In the Wall Street bombing, this unlucky and tenacious guy heard that he was stunned by the air wave, but he didn't die, only his back was injured.He was assassinated twice in a row and didn't die. I have to say that this guy was really lucky.Situ Nan thought.

"It's okay. Thank you for your concern." Morgan's expression was a little unswerving, thinking of the sudden big explosion, his back felt a little painful.

At that time, several big bosses of the Morgan Consortium were all meeting in the office. Suddenly, an air wave rushed in and destroyed the office. Morgan was also hit by the air wave and hit the wall. Fortunately, he did not die.

He has lingering fears so far.Seeing that Situ Nan was so sincere, he was not easy to attack, so he had to curse the Russian harshly in his heart.

"How did I hear that DuPont's carriage carrying gunpowder accidentally detonated?" Little Rockefeller interjected, making DuPont's face changed a bit, who was happily watching the show.

"No, no, no! John, don't talk nonsense! Be careful to slander you!" DuPont got anxious when he heard it, stood up, pointed to Little Rockefeller and looked at Little Rockefeller angrily.

His voice was a little high, and many people on the side looked over.DuPont once used explosives to make the whole family wealthy. Some people have heard of this kind of deeds. When mentioned by Rockefeller, everyone's eyes are a bit interesting.Even Morgan's eyes were a little gloomy.

Realizing that he was too sensitive, DuPont immediately sat down, calmed his face, and explained; "The company did have a carriage that lost delivery, but it was not explosives, but paint, and after the explosion, our company’s carriage was delivered. It's the destination. Now, the paint is used by Mobil for decoration. Why didn't Mobil explode?"

This is as if the two were conspiring to blow up Morgan, otherwise why would others only trouble Morgan?

Little Rockefeller smiled suddenly."I just talked about it casually. I didn't mean anything else. It was all those revolutionary elements who did it, just a joke."

"It's not funny."

"Okay! I apologize."

Everyone laughed blankly. It is naturally impossible to say that DuPont is going to blow up Morgan!

Situ Nan secretly noticed Morgan's look, um, very calm, a little weird in peace, but couldn't tell why.

It is probably muttering in my heart-why is it always me who is hurt!Situ Nan speculated in his heart.

Chapter 10

The gathering of Jekyll Island Club is a salon where everyone can talk beyond what they want. However, Situ Nan is more to make friends with these big people. As for how to talk, it is not his interest.

Low-key is the kingly way, muffled to make a fortune.He secretly warned himself.

As the initiator, Mellon raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, do you all know? Not long ago, the Treasury Department's proposal to reduce the tax to 32% was rejected by Congress, and the Democrats only agreed to reduce it to 50%. There is no doubt that this is not enough!"

"Yes! Not enough! Too unreasonable."

"Yes! To drive those Democrats out of Congress!"

"Andrew, what do we need to do? Just say it!"...

Everyone agrees.

Situ took a sip of wine in South America, smiled, and looked at the big people, always maintaining the modest and cautious look of a young man.

"What do you mean?" Situ Nan touched DuPont beside him, and the boy was silent this time.

"Oh! I can't say it for nothing, and I can only complain here. The Congress has just been opened. It is impossible to convene again in a short time?"

DuPont sighed.

"That's true!" Situ Nan nodded.I heard Andrew said: "For the time being, this tax can only be maintained at a high level, although we have done a lot of work.

This time I mainly remind everyone that when you vote next time, you must make an agreement and concentrate your efforts to reduce your personal tax to a reasonable level.Only in this way can the investment enthusiasm of the business community be improved, and it is a responsible attitude towards the US economy."

In addition to tax, how to discuss investment in Europe has become another important issue.The White House has just signed an official document to stop the state of war against Germany, so it has to pay for Germany’s debt and how the Federal Reserve can formulate appropriate policies to respond to London’s counterattack.

Naturally, with Morgan's influence on Wall Street, how to invest in Europe, solve the debts of Britain and France and support the German business community, Morgan has the most say.But there is nothing new.

At the Paris Peace Conference the year before last, Stuart heard Morgan talk about it, that is, to design a triangle relationship: Wall Street lent US dollars to Germany, Germany used US dollars to compensate Britain and France, and Britain and France returned US dollars to the United States, forming a US dollar as a carrier. The loop.In fact, Wall Street competed with London for the world financial center. "Europeans were our creditors before, and they easily paralyzed Wall Street after they withdrew the funds, but now the other way around, we become their creditors. Europeans cannot do without Wall Street. ."

Morgan said in high spirits, calling on everyone to go hunting in Europe."According to the report, the situation in Germany is very bad now. The Weimar Republic does not have enough funds. It needs us. As long as we reach out, we can get a strong and complete industrial empire!"

Not only the banking and financial industry, but the American industry is also hunting down Europe, especially Germany, using German technology to add vitality to the powerful industrial production of the United States.

"Jack is right! Do you want to try? How about BASF?" Situ Nan teased DuPont.

"I think too! But how can there be so much money? Why, does Wells Fargo want to lend me money?" DuPont looked at Situ Nan expectantly.

Now there is peace and no war. DuPont’s gunpowder plants have serious overcapacity. In the past two years, they have either shut down continuously or switched to investing in chemicals.But changing careers is not easy.

But it's impossible to say that DuPont has no money. Who doesn't know that this guy makes the most money?

"Okay! Is it difficult for DuPont to fund it? Although I don't have a lot of money, I'm still willing to inject capital into DuPont. What do you think?"

Situ Nan looked at DuPont with a smile, and at a glance he could see that DuPont was pretending to be poor.Xindao: I am not that stupid by lending you money for development.

"That won't work! You know our house rules." DuPont shook his head repeatedly, "Unless you become a member of the DuPont family, but this is not realistic..."

He looked at Andrew in the distance with some envy.The DuPont family is a very stubborn family. The company is all run by members of the DuPont family. Outsiders must not interfere. It is very exclusive.

Even if the gunpowder business is not good now, DuPont still monopolizes the production of gunpowder in the United States, and selling a factory will not affect DuPont's position.

It is impossible for Situ Nan to share the gunpowder market. Although he and Andrew had invested in a chemical plant to produce explosives in Pittsburgh, they were not comparable to DuPont's huge gunpowder empire.

In order to compete for the gunpowder market, DuPont had a big fight with Rockefeller.The result is clear, DuPont won.

"Then I didn't say it!"

Seeing Situ Nan not speaking, DuPont thought that Situ Nan was unhappy, as if he was a little bit sorry, and kindly said: "Stoney, I have a good explosive factory under my control. If you are interested, you can transfer it to you. The price is negotiated."

Oh shit!Why does Lao Tzu want his own explosive factory?Fight?Does it use so much to mine mines?Or use it to blow up Morgan?

Listening to DuPont transferring the money-losing explosives factory to himself, Situ Nan couldn't help but greet the DuPont family in his heart. Does this old boy want to stuff himself with the bad stuff and treat me as a triumphant?

However, he asked with interest: "What price? What is the scale?"

Seeing Situ Nan asking for a price, DuPont was intrigued. Just now he had a headache how to deal with the extra explosives factory, but he just talked casually.

"The annual output is 5 million pounds of gunpowder, 5 million U.S. dollars." DuPont probed the offer.
