1855 United States Tycoon

Soon, he received a call back from Morgan as soon as he informed him. Morgan told him that in view of the current crisis-ridden economic situation, it is very necessary for them and some other bankers to conduct a discussion on economic issues together. He suggested that this party be held on his newly bought yacht.

Morgan has always had a special love for yachts. In the original history, he spent a lot of money to build a superyacht called "Viking" with a speed of up to 27 knots. Many decisions related to the economic trend of United States were made on that yacht. Being able to join the "Pirate" club has become a symbol of the status of a top rich man. But now, the legendary "Pirate" is far from being able to play. So at this time Morgan's yacht was just a steamboat with a speed of less than ten knots.

Morgan is a playboy, but after marrying Mimi, well, at least in front of Mimi, Morgan converged a lot. Because Morgan really loves Mimi very much. But it's one thing to love Mimi, and another thing to playboy habits. Morgan quickly discovered that the yacht has an advantage, that is, to provide him with a place to continue to be a playboy. Mimi suffers from seasickness, so she never comes on the yacht. And she has always known that her husband loves boats and the sea. Before they got married, the husband would go to sea for one or two days almost every week. So she was very relaxed about Morgan's going out to play or something. Well, Morgan also took this opportunity to bring his friends, friends, and all kinds of beauties to the sea for a Haitian feast.

As for whether Mrs. Morgan really didn't know what her husband was doing in that boat, no one knew. But considering that not long ago, Stanford intensively portrayed the obscene stories in Morgan's Haitian Feast in the newspaper. To be honest, those stories were well-written, and after reading them, they could arouse a certain reaction from the men. So the newspapers in those few issues sold very well. Does Mrs. Morgan really know nothing about this?

Does Mrs. Morgan know, Scrooge does not know, but Dorothea knows this completely. So, when she saw this invitation, Dorothea immediately changed her face. She looked at Scrooge with a smile, nodded slightly, and said, "Scrooge, you must be looking forward to this trip. ?"

"Damn, I don't like this idea? I have seasickness!" Scrooge immediately corrected his expression and said. So in Dorothea's smile, Scrooge asked Morgan to telegram back. In the telegram, Scrooge said like Morgan that because he suddenly suffered from seasickness recently (he went to sea with Morgan, but he did not show any seasickness that time), so he suggested that it is better to change to another place. . In addition, he specifically emphasized that his fiancée Dorothea Miss will come to New York with him.

Soon he got a call back and Morgan would receive them in his manor.

"Dorothea, Morgan is a very keen and adventurous person. This person is highly educated and will be polite when necessary. However, this is just an illusion. Morgan has a very bad temper. Very arrogant, habitually holding an ironic attitude to everything. Generally speaking, not a very easy person." Before departure, Scrooge introduced Morgan to Dorothea like this.

"Such a person must be particularly annoying. But shouldn't bankers be very good at dealing with others? If Morgan is like this, how could it be what you call the'most powerful banker'?"

"Yes, so Morgan only likes to deal with bankers who are good at dealing with people." Scrooge laughed. "Otherwise, how can he be a'banker's banker". Morgan's greatest strength lies in him. He’s vision and adventurous spirit, compared with the average banker, he can see the true trend behind the numerous phenomena, and he also has the courage to take risks to catch it. This allows him to always make the right decisions at critical moments. Yes, a decisive choice. Well, with this advantage, his bad temper or something is of little importance."

Speaking of this, Scrooge suddenly thought that in the original history, almost every major development of the guy Morgan was inseparable from a crisis or something. He succeeded by relying on the crisis of 1857 and the war that followed. He got rid of the influence and control of European capital on his family, and in the crisis of 1865, he successfully relied on this opportunity to successfully acquire a large section of railway from the control of European capital at a low price. With every economic crisis, Morgan can take the opportunity to make a big step forward, almost never making the wrong direction. "Couldn't this guy also be a traverser?" Scrooge couldn't help thinking like this.

"Oh, if that's the case, then this person is really amazing," Dorothea said. "It's not unacceptable to have this kind of ability and a little more trouble."

"Ah, Dorothea, you are such a good girl." Scrooge said, "It seems that if I have a little more trouble, you will definitely accept it, right? You know, I can make more money than Morgan. ."

"Go to hell? Where is your advantage? I can tolerate you as a bad guy. I changed someone else and kicked you to China a long time ago!" Dorothea became proud again.

However, it is true that Scrooge said that he can make more money than Morgan. Morgan prefers to control the power of the entire economic world. Compared to his enormous influence in the economic world, the money he made himself is actually not much. At this time, the King of Wall Street, who was able to drive tens of billions of funds through financial and other means, did not actually have more than 100 million assets in his name when he died.

In Morgan's estate, Scrooge met Morgan and some other big bankers attached to his system. Everyone chatted for a while, and then gradually got into the topic. At this time, Mrs. Mimi also took Dorothea to visit the manor. The remaining men began to discuss their major issues.

"Everyone, the recent economic turmoil has brought us a lot of trouble. Everyone knows that in such a turmoil, a decision error may bring irreparable losses. Every major economic fluctuation will Killing a large number of companies will also make another group of people a great success. Today, Mr. Morgan invited us all to get together, hoping that when the crisis comes, we can help each other and achieve greater success." It was Morgan's friend Thenardier-a playboy like Morgan.

"I don't know what Mr. MacDonald has on the current situation?" someone asked.

"My view is very simple. The crisis is a huge danger for small capital, and for a big capital like us, it is a rare opportunity. It allows us to see more clearly which assets are high-quality assets and which are not. And It gave us an opportunity to integrate the industry. When the economic situation is good, the bad business of Amao Agou can survive, just like the weeds growing in the fields in spring and summer. When the crisis comes, these weeds are destroyed. Eliminated, so it makes room for companies that have real development prospects. Previously, many of our industries were too chaotic, and there was no overall plan, just like oil and steel, which companies without technology content were For the time being, it seems that our market has become depressed, but this has provided room for the growth of high-quality companies. So in the long run, this is definitely a good thing. For example, McDonald Steel and Standard Oil will Replacing those backward companies is our economy moving towards a healthier tomorrow.” Scrooge certainly refused to swear his sovereignty in the oil and steel Realm. “So, if you want to invest in these two directions, you must think carefully. Does the invested enterprise have its own real competitiveness and can stand up to the competition?"

"So apart from these two industries, what does Mr. MacDonald think about other industries?" someone asked. Scrooge understood that this was asking him how much land he wanted and what areas he was willing to set aside for everyone to make money.

"I think there will also be a large-scale survival of the fittest in railways." Scrooge said, "With the temporary depression of oil and steel, the overcapacity of railways has become more and more prominent. To be honest, the original railway construction was too much. There are a lot of messy, unplanned, and repeated redundant lines. Some European capitals who only want to make money but have no social responsibility control a large number of railways and squeeze the wealth of us United States. Railways that are about to appear now The crisis will be a good opportunity, a good opportunity to expel European capital from the United States. However, my energy is limited and it is difficult to take responsibility in this Realm, so this responsibility depends on everyone.

In addition, the whole world is one. I also remind everyone that you can turn your attention to Europe. The loss of European capital in the United States will inevitably trigger a corresponding response in Europe. In fact, the reason why European capital will randomly invest in railways and other sectors in United States is because the economic situation in Europe is not good enough that they cannot find anything worth investing in. Our railway has become a destination for hot money in Europe. Now their losses in United States will definitely make their already dangerous economy worse. By that time, it is almost impossible for them not to break out of war. At this time, isn't it the opportunity for our financial forces to launch a counterattack against Europe? "

"Mr. Macdonald meant..."

After a day of discussion, Scrooge and the Morgan Group reached an agreement to divide the spoils: Scrooge took oil, steel, and iron ore into his arms, while the Morgan Group obtained business including railways, shipping, and national debt in Europe. Sphere of influence. Both parties are satisfied with this result. In general, this is a successful meeting and a successful meeting.
