My America

Chapter 472: Everyone's common enemy



"Knox? Attorney General?" Sheffield didn't know where Alice Roosevelt called from. Anyway, he could be sure that this was Alice Roosevelt's voice. He had been carrying the weight for so long, and he would never hear it wrong. He asked, “Should n’t the Ministry of Finance endorse it, the Ministry of Justice? What does your father want to do to arrest us all?”

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

"What about that? He has only one year left." Sheffield replied toughly, but his tone slowed down, "Alice, I don't mean anything else. But you also know that with your father these two The actions of the year have already been very hostile to us. If we obediently step down, it is better to say that if we really want to break the unsuccessful rules for reelection, there may be danger to our lives. This is not a threat, just to be honest. "

No one can allow the president who poke twice at the big business, nothing but disgusting himself in the White House. The current obedience is just that everyone has a hope. When it is not the most dangerous, he does not want to tear his face and let Roosevelt follow Lincoln. But Roosevelt should also be modest. Do n’t go too far.

"How dare you treat the president?" Alice Roosevelt was angry when he heard it, and his own man had no respect for his father.

"Alice, on the contrary, what your father wants to do to us." Sheffield said indifferently, "From your point of view, I definitely don't want conflict, and some small friction can be tolerated. Others I ’m not sure, not everyone is so close to you and me. "

Sheffield started playing the love card at the turn of the speech, saying that she had not fulfilled her biggest wish, that is, to make Alice Roosevelt have a baby for herself, and Alice Roosevelt, who was listening to her, was red-faced and angry. The reputational risks are all borne by me. "

It was a long time before Sheffield hung up the phone and was startled when he turned around. Edith Rockefeller was looking at himself with a meaningful look. "Alice Roosevelt? The President's daughter, concealed from his father. You report the news, it seems that you made her very comfortable. "

"This is not what a lady and aristocrat should say. In fact, you also know that entrepreneurs like me, if you loose your slacks, you don't know how many women are waiting." Sheffield said with some embarrassment and humility. "But I'm not such a person. I have an emotional foundation with you and I don't want to hurt any of them."

Sheffield was an old scumbag. Even the most shameless lines did not want to hurt any of them. This attitude also convinced Edith Rockefeller. The slave owner is shameless, what do you do?

In New York, Morgan Jr. is still saving the banking industry. After the first round of capital injection was completed, he rushed to the New York Clearing Center nonstop and asked Rockefeller Jr. to meet and put forward his purpose, "Temporarily close the New York Stock Exchange?"

"Isn't it too sloppy!" Rockefeller Jr. did not respond to JPMorgan's request. "The proposal to close the New York Stock Exchange has too much impact, and it may cause panic in the stock market."

"Doesn't the stock market panic now? John, this crisis has your shadow and Sheffield's shadow, especially Sheffield. For whatever reason, he discovered this bank-trust dispute. He also took advantage of this dispute, and now he has succeeded! "Little Morgan said with a cold face," What else do I want? Wouldn't hope to let our family go bankrupt, it's not my arrogance, I win I wo n’t be able to win you, but you wo n’t be able to win me either. It ’s not good for everyone to fight. It ’s better to put forward the conditions that everyone agrees on and see if we can talk. ”

"He's in Chicago, and he doesn't like this place in New York." Rockefeller Jr. did not answer the question of Morgan Jr. directly, but referred to the difficulties of Sheffield.

"I came with goodwill. I don't know if you believe it or not. I can also close the New York Stock Exchange and suspend the stock market!" Little Morgan stood up and looked at the surging crowd below. "And most people also Agree, as long as you get the opinions of most speculators and bankers, this is a matter of course. No one wants to watch their money shrink every minute, right? John! I can even go to Chicago with you Nothing is impossible to talk about, as long as everyone benefits in the end, we are still friends of a country. "

Rockefeller Jr. felt a clean chin behind him, and said slowly, "Morgan, you seem to be threatening me."

"No, we are people of the same level, as for the following?" Little Morgan extended his finger to the living creatures below. "They are not, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Since the banker's attack on trust companies, the Dow Jones index has fallen by 45 percent. It has been very close to the waist. Eight major banks and trust companies have gone bankrupt, but the stock market has plummeted. Securities companies have closed down and interest rates have skyrocketed. The New York City government cannot issue bonds. If this time, Morgan Jr. first said to stop trading, let The stock market is calm and calm, and can definitely get most of the consent. Rockefeller Jr. also knows this and nods, "I will communicate with him, wait a minute, my friend!"

Close the stock market directly, stop trading? Sheffield swallowed hard, and there was such an operation. Covering the microphone and let Edith Rockefeller use another phone to ask Blair of Union Bank, can this be done? Is this a more advanced way of fusing?

The slave owner felt for the first time that he was still too young and overestimated the reliability of any rules. In fact, as long as he was ashamed of shame, there seemed to be nothing to lose.

A minute later Edith Rockefeller went back and returned, nodded at Sheffield, and it was not impossible to close the New York Stock Exchange in an emergency. Sheffield spoke, "Talk! There is nothing to talk about, right. But I hope Before talking about it, you do n’t need to close the New York Stock Exchange. Anyway, it has already fallen into this way. It ’s better to keep the last point to eat. "

Putting down the phone, in front of Edith Rockefeller, Sheffield yelled, "The shameless bankers, they did not follow the rules they set themselves, it seems that they can only stop here. But they also don't be complacent, Now bankers are stinky in front of the citizens of the country. No one has changed this impression for ten or eight years. This is not to be said. "

If it is only so far, Sheffield just got an invisible and intangible thing, that is, the reputation of the banker. It is about to say that it is not bad for the Morgan League to be replaced. It is a long time to be replaced by a general financial institution, but it is replaced by Morgan The alliance is a great loss, but it is not enough to say that there is a fatal crisis.

As for another gain, only a few people know that the establishment of the Fed must be postponed. This financial crisis in history directly led to the birth of the Fed. The government lacked the right to directly intervene in the currency market. Trust companies were unorganized and lost market trust. The New York private bankers led by Morgan were the last to rescue the financial crisis. .

New York bankers' attitude toward the Central Bank began to change. New York bankers who had been in conflict with the central bank before thought that it was enough to have a clearing center and no central bank was needed.

This matter can be seen from two aspects. Killing the trust company is supported by the vast majority of New York bankers, but the establishment of a central bank may not be necessary, but members of the Morgan Alliance should know that the scope is narrowing down, and Morgan and his son must know.

What is this operation similar to? The United States airstrikes Yugoslavia, but few people know that the country that must dismantle Yugoslavia is not a United States. It is a German after the Cold War. If Yugoslavia continues to preserve and is pro-Russia, it is a big threat to Germany ’s integration of Europe. The main force of Yugoslavia's dismemberment operation is Germany.

The role of the United States is to deliberately expand the scale of the war against Yugoslavia, and to create refugees to send a big gift to the birth of the euro. In fact, it is deliberately distorting the scriptures and disgusting Europeans. This example is very similar to the preparations of Morgan, Rockefeller and Sheffield before the outbreak of the financial crisis. Everyone is trying to prepare, but they are not ventilated and are still preparing for each other. We are ready to use this crisis to achieve the goals of various places, but everyone's goals are not the same.

Morgan and his son took advantage of the bankers ’dissatisfaction with the trust company and operated this financial crisis, but later completed their own interests, that is, the establishment of the Federal Reserve. Now that the reputation of bankers is unhealthy, citizens know that they have made this financial crisis, and they want to support the establishment of the Fed? No Fed would dare to go so far, and if it does, it will pay off?

Sheffield is not particularly disgusted with the Fed. The reason for the dislike is that his strength in the financial industry is not strong. Now if he wants to establish the Fed, he certainly does not have his own share or little interest. The financial institutions of the United Company still need time to grow, so they splashed dirty water on the reputation of the banker, not the dirty water, they did it.

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

When this news came, Sheffield had to be ready to talk about it. The common enemy of everyone is the federal government. In the face of this common enemy, the capitalists should unite.

Morgan Jr. and Rockefeller Jr. got on the bus at New York Station and reached a consensus on the way to Chicago. It is not wrong that everyone ’s common enemy is the federal government.
