Even now, Sheffield still felt a little sudden. Even at old Morgan's age, he shouldn't be surprised at all when he let go, but he still felt a little weird that such a man of great influence was gone at the last word.

"What's wrong with you?" Louisa Morgan looked up at the man with tears in her eyes.

"It's nothing, it's a bit weird. Our son was born not long ago. I came here to attend your father's funeral. It's my first time to attend a funeral." Sheffield said with a confused smile on his face, "This is the occasion.

I really don’t have much experience.”

Morgan Sr.'s life can be said to be magnificent. The Morgan Alliance he built is still the largest capital group in the United States, but the share belonging to the Morgan family is not large.

It can be said that this time his death attracted all the prominent people in the United States. Unlike his death in history, at that time because of the sinking of the Titanic, old Morgan suffered verbal and written criticism from all walks of life in the entire country, and the voices of accusation continued until

When he died, he also traveled abroad to relax and died in Egypt.

Different circumstances lead to completely different scenes. It can be said that old Morgan has passed away. Financial tycoons and business tycoons from all over the country came here. Regardless of whether they had favors or festivals, they all let go of the past at this time.

Sheffield was a little reserved at the funeral. As he said, it was the first time for him to appear on such an occasion. He was played around like a puppet by Louisa Morgan, listening to the eulogy read by the pastor.

But he didn't hear a single word, and looked directly at whoever he was looking at.

There were railroad tycoons James and Hill, members of Boston's Lowell and Adams families, Morgan representatives on Wall Street, and business representatives from Pittsburgh. There were many familiar faces, but there were also many unfamiliar faces that they had never seen before.

"Who is that person? It seems that the group of people around him is centered on him." Sheffield nodded slightly in the 45-degree direction and asked the little Rockefeller next to him. The old man looked like a big shot, but

Sheffield had never seen him before. Sheffield only knew one Carnegie in Pittsburgh, but obviously the old man in front of him was not him.

"It's Andrew Mellon. It's hard for most people to meet him." Rockefeller Jr. whispered, "Many rich people are actually very weird, like Morgan himself. His temper is so big that he doesn't look like a real person."

A banker who works in the financial industry. My father himself is taciturn, and Andrew Mellon is even weirder. He is even more taciturn than my father, and my father still has a few friends."

Born to be a loner and have no friends? The corners of Sheffield's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Isn't this a standard modifier for white murderers appearing in newspapers?

While the funeral was in progress, Sheffield didn't know much to ask. He only knew that Andrew Mellon was the leader of the Mellon family.

The Mellon family is equally famous in the eyes of later generations. It is one of the top ten financial groups in the United States, and it is as famous as Rockefeller and Morgan. But now, although the Mellon family is quite powerful, it has been hidden in Pittsburgh and is not well-known.

This may also be related to the fact that Andrew Mellon, the head of the Mellon family, does not like to socialize.

The Mellon family came from behind to be on an equal footing with the Rockefellers and Morgans. The foundation for their take-off can be described in one word: collusion between government and business! Andrew Mellon served as the Treasury Secretary for several governments. By the time he left office, the Mellon family had grown into a

A behemoth.

Sheffield remembered that later in the United States, a mayor of New York appeared with a salary of only one dollar. After being the mayor of New York for more than ten years, this man's wealth soared to tens of billions of dollars. This operating method should be learned from Andrew Mellon.

.

America has its own national conditions here! Sheffield doesn’t like this man, because what Andrew Mellon did later is what he is doing now in the Democratic federal government.

But at least the slave owners did not personally engage in collusion between government and business. They were much more restrained than Andrew Mellon, who later became Secretary of the Treasury. During Andrew Mellon's tenure as Secretary of the Treasury, he not only used his power to take advantage of loopholes in tax laws,

He also proposed two bills to cut taxes to protect the interests of large business owners, thus benefiting the Mellon family a lot.

Andrew Mellon's mantra is that you will get the greatest benefits if you are often linked to important government officials. What an honest man. This sentence is 90% not enough to be the same as that of the Rockefeller family. I want it to be 100% the same.

They are all the most straightforward classic sayings.

After the funeral, the people who came to attend the funeral left in twos and threes. For these people who attended Old Morgan's funeral, attending the funeral was just an informal occasion to take the opportunity to communicate. It doesn't matter whose funeral you attend, what matters is that you can

Take the opportunity to meet and talk about each other's business.

Just like among prime ministers, the former prime minister died of illness and his funeral became a stage for politicians from various countries to carry out diplomacy. Although the essence is a bit dirty, that is the fact.

"I didn't expect the electrolytic aluminum king to come too. This person is really rare." On the way back, Sheffield, who was holding Louisa Morgan's arm, asked little Morgan, "I thought the relationship between your two families was not very good.

.”

"Andrew Mellon, we live in such a country. When it develops, there will definitely be a lot of confrontation. The relationship between each family is very complicated. Sometimes they help each other, sometimes they undermine each other, and sometimes both exist.

Quite a few." Little Morgan shrugged indifferently and said, "Isn't that what life is like?"

Sheffield nodded, this is a fact. Of course, the Mellon family and the Morgan family have had conflicts. Andrew Mellon's attitude towards doing business is just like old Morgan, full of skill and calculation. These two people are still in the same era.

Conflict is naturally inevitable.

When the Morgan family took action to rectify the coal cartel to ensure order in the steel industry, Andrew Mellon once intervened to disrupt the situation, waiting for the old Morgan to come to the door, and was forced to buy out the important assets of the Pittsburgh Coal Company in his hands and pay off

The principal and interest on Mellon bonds.

The relationship with the Rockefeller family is the same as the relationship between the Mellon family and the Morgan family. After the oil boom began, Andrew Mellon established the Mellon Oil Company and also invested in other ventures. The Mellon Oil Company was subject to the Rockefeller standard from the beginning

In order to be squeezed out by the oil companies, they relied on the right time and place, tried every means, and relied on the banks they controlled to deal with Rockefeller, and they were able to resist the Standard Oil Company.

After that, Andrew Mellon sold the oil industry to the Rockefeller family, just like Sheffield finally sold United Motors to Morgan Jr. and Rockefeller Jr.

"It turns out that the Mellon family has caused a lot of trouble for your family. So what is he doing here? What is his purpose?" Sheffield squinted his eyes, as if he had just learned about the grudges between the Mellon family and the Morgan family.

Louisa Morgan asked.

Finally, Sheffield has entered the role of Morgan's son-in-law. The Balkan War is still in the process of going through the process. He needs something to distract his energy. Today, he met Andrew Mellon and feels that this goal is very suitable.

The slave owners who started to take bad shots started to sow discord in front of Louisa Morgan. The Mellon family and the Morgan family were both bankers in the financial industry. There had been several conflicts. Now Andrew Mellon came to attend the funeral and said he came to express his condolences.

Maybe I have the idea of ​​​​demonstration in my heart.

Maybe they thought that after old Morgan died, there would be no one in the entire United States who could hold him back. The slave owners just made a presumption of guilt based on reasonable doubt.

"What should we do?" Louisa Morgan had just had a love affair with the slave owner, and her whole heart was focused on Sheffield. When she heard her man say this, she felt that it made sense.

This is what the slave owner boasts, women all over the world love me! You can't blame Louisa Morgan for being too naive. A similar experience has already happened to Edith Rockefeller. There is nothing special about it, it's just Sheffield's love for himself

Women are too naive and too sincere when using their abilities.

Directly knocking the target out billions of times, even Edith Rockefeller, a woman who paid so much attention to the name Rockefeller, now lives entirely for the slave owner. Louisa Morgan, who also does not worry about money, has also transformed along the same route.

"I can help you teach Andrew Mellon a lesson, but you can't reveal a word to your brother." Sheffield put a finger on Louisa Morgan's red lips and warned softly, "This matter should be treated as such.

As the son-in-law of the Morgan family, I fulfill some obligations."

The slave owner was called a righteous man, but in the eyes of Louisa Morgan, this attitude was different. Because of his family's affairs, this man was going to be hostile to another powerful company. For a moment, he looked at Sheffield with a scorching gaze.

It can melt steel.

"Andrew Meilong is a cunning person, and his group is not easy to deal with." Louisa Morgan said quietly as she fell into Sheffield's arms.

"His company is called Mellon & Associates, right? It just so happens that after annexing it, the surname will be erased and the name will not need to be changed." Holding Louisa Morgan's delicate body in his arms, the slave owner shook his body and started talking, "

Throughout my life, I have always been emotionally impulsive with women, and this has become a weakness."

"Well, you are so good to women." Louisa Morgan rubbed her head in the man's arms and her voice was full of cuteness.
