Chapter 472: Everyone's Common Enemy

"Knox? Attorney General?" Sheffield didn't know where Alice Roosevelt called from. Anyway, he was sure that it was Alice Roosevelt's voice. She had been carrying the burden for such a long time, and there was no way she heard it wrong.

He asked rhetorically, "Shouldn't it be endorsed by the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice? What does your father want to do, arrest us all?"

"I don't know either!" Alice Roosevelt whispered, "But my father is already very dissatisfied with big companies like you."

"So what? He only has one year left in his term." Sheffield asked forcefully, but immediately softened his tone and said, "Alice, I don't mean anything else. But you also know that with your father's two

His actions in 2018 have been very hostile to us. It would be okay if he resigned obediently, but if he really wants to break the unspoken rules for re-election, his life may be in danger. This is not a threat, just telling the truth."

No one can allow a president who just pokes fun at big companies to disgust himself in the White House all the time. The current compliance is just that everyone has something to look forward to, and they don’t want to quarrel with each other until the most dangerous time.

Roosevelt followed in Lincoln's footsteps, but Roosevelt also had to stop in moderation and not go too far.

"What do you dare to do to the president?" Alice Roosevelt became angry when she heard this. Her man disrespected her father.

"Alice, on the contrary, it's your father who wants to do something to us." Sheffield said calmly, "From the perspective of you and me, I definitely don't want conflicts, and some small frictions can be tolerated. Others

That’s not right, not everyone has such a close relationship with you and me.”

As soon as the conversation changed, Sheffield started playing the love card, saying that his greatest unfulfilled wish was to have Alice Roosevelt give birth to a child for him. Alice Roosevelt blushed and said angrily, "You are a bad thing, and all the advantages are yours.

I took all the reputational risks."

After waiting for a long time, Sheffield hung up the phone. When he turned around, he was startled. Edith Rockefeller was looking at him with a meaningful look, "Alice Roosevelt? The president's daughter, she gave birth to a child without telling her father."

You tipped off the news, it seems you made her very comfortable."

"This is not something a socialite should say. In fact, as you know, if an entrepreneur like me loosens his belt casually, there will be countless women waiting for him." Sheffield said modestly, with some embarrassment.

"But I'm not that kind of person. You and I both have emotional foundations, and I don't want to hurt any of you."

Sheffield acted like an old scumbag from the moment he opened his mouth. He even said the most shameless lines without wanting to hurt any of them. This manner also convinced Edith Rockefeller. Slave owners are shameless. What can you do?

Over in New York, Morgan Jr. was still trying to save the banking industry. After he completed the first round of capital injection, he rushed to the New York Clearing Center without stopping. At the same time, he met with Rockefeller Jr. and proposed his purpose, "Temporarily close the New York Stock Exchange?"

"Isn't it a little too hasty!" Rockefeller Jr. did not respond to Morgan Jr.'s request. "The proposal to close the New York Stock Exchange has too great an impact and is likely to cause panic in the stock market."

"Isn't there a panic in the stock market now? John, this crisis has your shadow, and Sheffield's shadow, especially Sheffield. For whatever reason, he discovered this dispute between banks and trust companies

, he also took advantage of this dispute, and now he has succeeded!" Little Morgan said with a cold face, "What else do you want? You don't want to bankrupt our family. It's not that I am arrogant, I win.

I can't defeat you, but you can't defeat me either. It won't do anyone any good to continue fighting, so why not just put forward conditions that everyone agrees with and see if we can talk about it."

"He is in Chicago, and he doesn't like New York." Rockefeller Jr. did not answer Morgan Jr.'s question directly, but mentioned the difficulties in Sheffield.

"I came with good intentions. I don't know whether you believe it or not, but I can close the New York Stock Exchange and suspend the stock market!" Little Morgan stood up and looked at the surging crowd below and said, "And most people can also Agree, as long as you get the opinion of the majority of speculators and bankers, this is a natural thing. No one wants to watch their money shrink every minute, right? John! I can even go with you. Chicago, there is nothing that cannot be discussed. As long as everyone benefits in the end, we are still friends of a country."

Little Rockefeller touched his smooth chin behind him and said slowly, "Morgan, you seem to be threatening me."

"No, we are people on the same level. As for the following?" Little Morgan stretched out his finger and pointed at the living beings below, "They are not. Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Since bankers launched a sniper attack on trust companies, the Dow Jones Index has fallen by 45%. It is very close to being cut in half. A total of eight major banks and trust companies have gone bankrupt. However, the stock market has plummeted, and securities companies have closed down. Interest rates are soaring and the New York City government cannot issue bonds. If Morgan Jr. first said that he wanted to suspend trading and let the stock market calm down at this time, he would definitely get the majority of the consent. Rockefeller Jr. also knew this and nodded and said, "I'll communicate with him." Wait a minute, my friend!"

Directly close the stock market and suspend trading? Sheffield swallowed hard, and there is still such an operation. He covered the phone and asked Edith Rockefeller to use another phone to ask Blair from Union Bank, can this operation still be done? This Is it a more advanced way of fusing?

For the first time, the slave owner felt that he was still too young and had overestimated the solidity of any rules. In fact, as long as he was willing to be shameless, he seemed to have nothing to lose.

A minute later, Edith Rockefeller came back and nodded to Sheffield. At the critical moment, it was not impossible to close the New York Stock Exchange. Then Sheffield said, "Talk! There is nothing that cannot be discussed, right. But I hope Before the talks, there is no need to close the New York Stock Exchange. It has already fallen like this anyway, so it is better to maintain the last bit of food."

After putting down the phone, Sheffield cursed loudly in front of Edith Rockefeller, "Shameless bankers, they don't abide by the rules they set themselves. It seems that this is the end of it. But don't be complacent, either. Nowadays, bankers have a bad reputation in front of citizens all over the country. No one can change this impression within ten or eight years. This is an understatement."

If it only ends here, Sheffield only gains an invisible and intangible thing, which is the reputation of a banker. It is not that it would have severely damaged the Morgan Alliance. If it had been replaced by an ordinary financial institution, it would have been finished long ago, but if it had been replaced by Morgan The alliance has suffered heavy losses, but if there is a fatal crisis, it is not likely to happen.

As for another gain, only a few people know that the establishment of the Federal Reserve must be delayed. The financial crisis in history directly led to the birth of the Federal Reserve. The government lacks the right to directly intervene in the currency market, and trust companies have no right to do so. They were disorganized and lost the trust of the market. It was the New York private bankers led by Morgan who finally came out to save the financial crisis.

The attitude of New York bankers towards the central bank began to change. The New York bankers, who had always been resistant to the central bank, believed that a clearing center was enough and a central bank was not needed.

This matter can be viewed from two aspects. Getting rid of the trust companies is supported by the vast majority of New York bankers, but establishing a central bank may not be the case. However, the members of the Morgan Alliance should know that the scope is narrowing, and the Morgans must know it.

What is this operation similar to? The United States launched air strikes on Yugoslavia, but few people know that the country that must dismantle Yugoslavia is not the United States, but the Germans after the Cold War. They believe that if Yugoslavia continues to exist and is pro-Russian, it will be an integration of Germany.

A big threat to Europe, so the main force in the dismemberment operation against Yugoslavia was Germany.

The role of the United States was to deliberately expand the scale of the war against Yugoslavia and create refugees as a gift to the birth of the euro. In fact, it deliberately distorted the Bible and disgusted Europeans. This example is very similar to that of Morgan and Rockefeller before the outbreak of this financial crisis.

Everyone is making preparations like Sheffield's, but they are not communicating and are still on guard against each other. They are preparing to use this crisis to achieve their own goals, but everyone's goals are not the same.

The Morgans took advantage of bankers' dissatisfaction with trust companies to manipulate the financial crisis, but then realized their own interests, which was to establish the Federal Reserve. But now the reputation of bankers is notorious, and citizens all know that this financial crisis

The crisis was caused by them, and they still want to support the establishment of the Federal Reserve? Without the Federal Reserve, they would dare to go so far. How can they pay it off with the Federal Reserve?

Sheffield is not particularly averse to the Federal Reserve. The reason for his aversion is that he is not strong in the financial industry. If the Federal Reserve is to be established now, he will certainly not have a role, or the benefits will not be great. The financial institutions of the United Company still need time to grow, so they

Pouring dirty water on the reputation of bankers is not just throwing dirty water on them. It was them who did it in the first place.

Originally, Sheffield was not prepared to produce any results, but after the exchange was closed on this day, the federal government criticized some companies for allowing the economic crisis to occur, causing huge economic losses to citizens.

When this news came, Sheffield had to prepare for a serious discussion. Everyone's common enemy is the federal government. In front of this common enemy, capitalists should unite.
