1855 United States Tycoon

The model Scrooge proposed was not in Joshua's expectations, and for Joshua, it was not the best way to cooperate. Because of this, although the family can definitely make money in North America, doing so also means that it is impossible for the family to truly establish its own power in North America through this cooperation-rebuilding belonging to the Rothschild family Bank of. If this is not possible, the family will at best make a large sum of money in North America, but it is only this sum. More importantly, it is unlikely that Joshua himself could gain a higher position in the family by rebuilding the family's bank in North America.

But for the family, Scrooge's suggestion is very attractive. Because just as the financial forces in North America do not want to see the power of the Rothschild family appear on Wall Street. The Rothschilds are also unwilling to see other forces enter the own sphere of influence. Scrooge proposed that, except for technology venture capital, all other financing activities are carried out through the banks of the Rothschild family, which is tantamount to expressing no intention of entering the European financial market and competing with the Rothschild family.

If this is the case, the family may not agree, because Europe is now in the position of capital export. Although the European financial market is much larger than North America, the European financial market is already very crowded and the remaining space is already considerable. Limited. Even if the bank of the Macdonald family squeezed in, the space he could squeeze out was quite limited, and most of the squeezed out space would not be originally occupied by the Rothschild family. But North America is different. North America has a much larger space. With the strength of the Rothschild family, as long as they successfully return to North America, the benefits that can be obtained, both in the short-term and in the long-term, are greater than in history. If Gao Zhi did not enter the European financial world, the Rothschild family would gain much more benefits.

However, Scrooge handed over most of the McDonald family’s financial activities in Europe to Rothschild’s agent. Such conditions also meant that the family could take advantage of the McDonald family’s industrial advantages and make money in Europe. Get more money, get more shares. Although the family has great advantages in the European financial world, it is not without rivals. But working with Scrooge to expand its territory in Europe is much easier than in North America. Moreover, because of the advantages of the McDonald family in technology, it is not difficult for their industrial part to enter Europe. Almost 100% of them will make money, and they will make more money. At least, in Joshua's view, it is only a matter of time before the French steel, electrical, fertilizer and pesticide markets fall under Scrooge's control. In this process, if we can represent the financing activities of the McDonald family in Europe, this can bring a lot of profits to the family, and such profits are almost risk-free. Although Scrooge's plan is only two years, Joshua believes that after two years of cooperation, the interests of the European part of the Macdonald Consortium and the Rothschild family will become more and more entangled. Under normal circumstances, such cooperation will form inertia, making it very likely to continue to cooperate with Rothschild in the economic activities of the European part of the Macdonald Consortium. And the prospects of McDonald's steel, electricity, and agriculture in Europe, at least in the French market, are very impressive. In this way, this sale is very attractive. Although he didn't like this idea from Joshua's point of view, he was not able to determine how the family would choose.

The Joshuas stayed at Duck Castle for one night and left after having breakfast the next morning. Scrooge got the information in the afternoon, and Joshua sent a messenger and boarded the ship back to Europe. It was very common in the past to use the family's dedicated messenger to communicate. But since the launch of wireless telegraphy across the Atlantic, few people have used such inefficient methods anymore.

"Well, this Joshua, more or less, still has a sense of confidentiality." After hearing the news, Scrooge said.

"What's the use? Anyway, all the secrets that should be leaked have been leaked. Unfortunately, cable telegrams are still more common on the European continent. And we have not been able to safely intercept a large number of their cable telegrams. Otherwise, we simply You don't need to cooperate with them to get information." Dorothea sat next to her, putting a pine nut into her mouth, and said with regret.To say that Joshua has a sense of secrecy means that Joshua already knows to protect the code from being deciphered by others. Obviously, the message he sent back was Scrooge's new suggestion. Scrooge, who provides telegraph services, must have guessed this. Under the premise that the content is known, if you see the telegram again, it is naturally possible to take this opportunity to see through the secret words above. However, what he didn't expect was that even if there was no such opportunity, relying on the accumulation of large amounts of data and the mathematical games of various permutations and combinations, the codes they were proud of would have been deciphered long ago.

"The cost advantage of wireless telegraphy over wired telegraphy is too obvious. So it won’t take two years. I’m sure that there will be wireless telegraphy everywhere in Europe. Although on the European continent, it’s easy to repeat, it’s impossible to cross the line. In Atlantic Communications, all the telegrams are sent through us, but by that time, it will be much easier to intercept their communications. By that time..." Scrooge said as he walked over. A large handful of pine nuts was taken from the plate in front of Rosia.

"I knew that you and Joshua agreed on a two-year deadline, but you didn't have a good heart... Hey, why did you catch so much? Take half of it back..."

...

"Mr. Morgan, Joshua Rothschild went to Swan Castle, stayed there for the night, and then returned to New York. Then in the afternoon he sent a messenger from Europe. This messenger took the'Golden The passenger ship "Qianwei". As far as we know, he bought this ticket from passengers who have already bought the ticket at a high price. In other words, this messenger was issued temporarily." A man in a black suit People report to Morgan.

"Very well, you did a good job. You want your people to keep watching this guy and don't let go of any of his actions." Morgan took the Havana cigar out of his mouth and said to the man in black.

"I understand." The man in black replied.

"Yeah." Morgan nodded approvingly, and then gently waved it with his right hand holding the thick cigar, indicating that the man in black could leave. The man in black bent over to greet him, then turned around and walked out gently like a cat.

Half lying on the sofa, Morgan took another sigh of cigar, and then said to himself:

"Using a messenger, is this a method that is lagging behind the times? Why did you use such a method? Not long ago in France, it was said that they had some contradictions. Joshua must have dealt with these contradictions. What result required him in the end. What about sending information in this way? Well, obviously, they talked about a certain result, and the result is so complicated that if the result is sent by telegram, there is a history that the password that the family has always used is known to the content of the agreement. Gao Zhi cracked it. That's why such primitive methods were used. Moreover, judging from the use of such a slow communication method, they should be close to reaching an agreement. There is no danger of direct conflict-what a pity! Morgan sighed.

"What is a pity?" A voice came from the side. Morgan didn't need to look up to know that it was his wife Mimi who was talking.

"Nothing. It's just a little business matter. Well, maybe I need to find Scrooge to find out." Morgan replied casually. He knew that his wife was actually not interested in these at all.

"My dear, why are you here?" Morgan asked...

...

"Grandpa, what do you think of this proposal by the McDonald family?" Witte looked at the old man and said, "I think this proposal is very interesting, but the pros and cons of it cannot be judged all at once. I need to do more. To make judgments only through research."

"Witt, being cautious is an advantage, as is the importance of data analysis. However, you have to remember that there is a mistake that is sunk in a sea of ​​data and confused by all kinds of information. As a result, you can't make correct judgments. Strategy. The issue of sex is more important to analyze the conflicts between basic goals and the most basic balance of power." The old man stared at Werther's eyes and said.

"I think I still have to think about it." Witte replied.

"Well, I'll give you another hour. Go to the next room and think about it. Then come and give me an answer." The old man said.

...

An hour later, Werther stood in front of Grandpa Own again.

"How about it, have you thought about it?"

"I didn't think about it completely, I just thought of something." Witte replied.

"Speak out and listen."

"Grandpa, obviously, Mr. MacDonald didn’t really want to prevent us from returning to the United States. Because even in the United States, his position in the financial industry is not too high. It can be said that in In United States, it can be said that in almost any business in which Mr. MacDonald has been involved, he is a well-deserved boss and an undisputed monopolist. There is only one business exception, and that is finance. Although the venture capital bank of the Macdonald Consortium is also A very powerful bank, but its strength is almost entirely due to Mr. McDonald’s understanding of science and technology, which is all reflected in the investment in promising technologies. As for general investment, as long as it is not owned by McDonald’s The performance of investment within the advantageous industries is very general. In this range, even if we return to North America, it is difficult to pose any threat to them. Therefore, the McDonald consortium's willingness to stop us is not considered high. They just don't want to offend others because of their cooperation with us.

However, by working with him for about two years, we can naturally gradually strengthen our understanding of North America. In this way, we will not miss this round of making money. In the future, no matter what decision we make, it will be better than directly making decisions now. In Europe, cooperation with McDonald can also bring us a lot of benefits, and what we can do in Europe is not something that the McDonald consortium can prepare in two years. Therefore, two years later, their dependence on us may be even higher. Therefore, I tend to support this proposal. Of course, the details of the agreement need to be further refined. "
