As if he hadn't heard anything, Sheffield remained silent. Originally, he wanted to talk about the Titanic. The sinking of the Titanic had a great impact on the Morgan family. Just when the Morgan family was at its peak, misfortune was quietly approaching.

Morgan is approaching. The Titanic, an unprecedentedly large and luxurious cruise ship ordered by the Morgan consortium, crashed and sank in the North Atlantic. This was not only a disaster in human history, but also almost became a turning point in the Morgan family's almost collapse.

As a result, the Morgan consortium faced a series of congressional accusations and was forced to accept investigations.

Old Morgan died of illness amid a series of investigations and accusations. It can be said that as he was approaching the end of his life, he suffered the biggest blow of his life. I believe that when he was dying, he thought of the endless investigations and accusations, which also affected the Morgan family.

Worry about your fate.

Ten years ago, at the behest of Morgan Sr., American International Shipping Company issued an invitation to White Star Line, proposing to merge the two companies to expand its business scale. White Star Company agreed with the proposal, and the company completed its reorganization in just one year.

, became a subsidiary of International Shipping Company. Later, with the support of senior Morgan, Ismay became the chairman of International Shipping Company.

The construction of the Titanic was not a sudden idea. Ismay had discussed this topic with the old Morgan before, but now it was officially put on the table. The directors of the White Star Transportation Company repeatedly discussed: the two ships became

Three ships became three; three chimneys became four chimneys... These three unprecedented giant ships will become the undisputed overlords on the Atlantic route - not only far exceeding their opponents in terms of tonnage, but also in terms of speed and luxury.

Unrivaled: The new ship will have a high speed, a first-class restaurant spanning three decks, and even the decoration of the third-class cabin will be far more comfortable and high-end than other cruise ships.

After Louisa Morgan left, little Morgan said apologetically, "My sister has this kind of character, and she usually talks to me like this. There is no way! William, John, you two, don't think too much."

"It's a bit more direct, and what I said is true." Sheffield felt uncomfortable, but he was not stupid enough to express his discomfort. He could only pretend to be generous without conscience.

The sinking of the Titanic was historically a matter of detail and was extremely easy to be interfered with. Sheffield believed that such an unexpected situation would never occur in this time and space, but he now hopes that the Space and Time Administration will soon correct the loopholes and allow Morgan to

The family suffered a big loss.

The interference made Sheffield almost forget the purpose of coming. It was simply that little Rockefeller didn't realize Louisa Morgan's sharp teeth and sharp tongue, and still remembered what she came for, so she opened her mouth to talk about her current worries.

When young Morgan heard this, he put his hands on the table, and his face showed no signs of anxiety as usual. Unlike the two people in front of him, whose main business was very obvious, the Morgan family's main business was the financial industry, and it was not so easy to find out complex equity.

.

"Are you two too anxious?" Little Morgan said in an understated manner, with an attitude of just watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, "Even if the president has sequelae, resulting in some speech difficulties, this does not mean that it will happen again in the future.

attack."

As soon as Sheffield heard this, he knew that little Morgan was putting on a show and using words to himself, so he said, "My dear friend, if you are not the largest banker in the United States, I really believe that you think luck is not like this."

That's bad. But you are indeed the biggest banker, and you know best the proportion of luck in venture capital. And now you tell me, maybe... things won't get so bad? Maybe...

... Nothing will happen? Let me try my luck?"

The slave owner's taunting skills are already at full capacity. Even during a conversation, he must first use his words to find a topic. But there is also a time limit. At this time, what's the point of little Morgan piling up a bunch of nutritious words?

"Let's talk first, what do you two think?" Young Morgan turned a blind eye to Sheffield's ridicule. If it were his father, Morgan Sr., he would definitely ridicule him back. However, the father and son also have some ideas.

The difference is that little Morgan is not as unreasonable as his father.

This understatement and seemingly aloof attitude made Sheffield very dissatisfied. He had long discovered that the Morgan family was arrogant than the Rockefeller family, and this was in their bones.

Just like the Morgan family likes Roosevelt or William Bryan to come to power? Will they also deal with you by then?

Who is this look of honey and confidence for? We are all afraid, are you afraid? After the explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, people felt not afraid because the Geiger counter they used exploded. In fact, the nuclear

The radiation dose far exceeded the indicated data. The epidemic swept across the United States, and citizens did not think it was serious. In fact, it was because the detection volume had reached a bottleneck and they were rushing towards herd immunity.

Did Young Morgan really think that Standard Oil and Union Company would be in trouble, but Morgan Bank would be fine? Sheffield didn't know anything else, but a lot of William Bryan's supporters were Silver Party members.

So what little Morgan showed had nothing to do with me, and Sheffield definitely didn't believe it.

Rockefeller Jr. didn't show anything on his face. He followed Morgan Jr.'s words and said, "What William means is, just like last time, we should divide the labor. Some people will influence the Republican Party and some will influence the Democratic Party. This will prevent the worst outcome, that is,

The emergence of Theodore Roosevelt versus William Bryan, President Alton Parker's illness, and to be honest, our country's political environment will definitely be manipulated during the election, and everyone understands this."

"Just like when the coal cartel and Northern Securities were taken down, your interests were not damaged." After Rockefeller Jr. finished speaking, Sheffield still seized this opportunity to vent his anger from Louisa Morgan.

go back.

"That's all in the past!" Little Morgan fiddled with his fingers unmoved and said flatly, "Think about it if you plan according to the so-called worst-case scenario, will President Alton Parker's illness relapse? I

I would still use 50% to calculate whether President Roosevelt will run for office again. If President Alton Parker cannot run again, there is still a half chance that the Democratic Party will not elect him.

William Bryan, nominating William Bryan may not necessarily win, because so far William Bryan only has experience of losing elections, and his only experience of winning is as vice president. Calculating all these conditions, the probability has reached less than 10%.

Yes, am I right?"

"On the other hand, as long as Roosevelt is willing to come back, he will definitely get the nomination of the Republican Party under normal circumstances, unless you can let the Republican Party propose its own candidate. And William Bryan, as the current Vice President, once the president's body does not allow him to return again

In the election, William Bryan can also win the Democratic nomination with a high probability. Don't look at me like that, I'm all saying it according to the conditions you set." Sheffield curled his lips and said, "What's the point of saying this? Make some preparations in advance.

, could it still be a mistake?”

Seeing that Sheffield and Morgan Jr. had tit-for-tat intentions, Rockefeller Jr. stretched out his hand to dissuade Sheffield and said, "William, please stop for a moment."

Then turning to Morgan's side, Rockefeller smiled with insight and said, "My dear friend, as William said, you are a banker and you will not place your hopes on luck, because finance

No one knows better than you how risky the business is. If luck was valued, the Morgan family bank would not have grown so big."

"I know that there are conditions for helping. You can tell me your conditions." Rockefeller stood up and walked to the desk in front of Morgan. He put his hands on it and said condescendingly, "Isn't that right?"

Young Morgan opened a drawer, disassembled a pack of cigars and handed it to Rockefeller, but the latter refused, "Thank you, I don't have this hobby!" The Rockefeller family is only interested in two things, making money, and using the money they make to live longer.

100 years old.

Compared with Morgan Jr. and Sheffield, Rockefeller Jr. almost lived a puritanical life. Rockefeller Sr. was always an extremely rigid person. His facial expressions did not change much at ordinary times, and he always had a poker face.

"You should learn to enjoy life!" Little Morgan didn't take it seriously. He threw a cigar directly and accurately towards Sheffield on the chair. He lit the cigar and said with an intoxicated look, "Yes, I don't

I will act rashly for the sake of our friendship. When I targeted the DuPont family, although it was also driven by profit, I helped the Sheffield family after all, right? Helping once is enough, like this kind of manipulation of the election.

It requires a huge amount of energy to do something once, and you actually want to do it a second time?"

"Why should I take risks, spend time and energy, and manipulate the election?" Little Morgan pointed at the two guests and said, "Just for friendship? We are all adults, and we should talk about things that adults are interested in.

It’s very childish to talk about friendship.”

"Stop talking nonsense and put forward your conditions." Sheffield also understood. It was not that little Morgan was unwilling to intervene, but that he had to have interests that impressed him before he could help.

"Very good, let me tell you the truth. The huge funds contained in the current financial industry need a carrier." When young Morgan heard Sheffield speak, his attitude immediately made a 180-degree turn, and he did not

Let’s talk about what is possible and what is possible, “Steel Company is a good choice. It has also shouldered this important task in recent years, but it is not enough. New carriers are also needed. William, do you understand what I mean? New shares are necessary.
