Chapter 478: Quarrel in the White House
The three big companies have begun to shirk their responsibilities, especially the sentence of Sheffield. Perhaps this is life. It is simply the finishing touch. The outbreak of this crisis is defined as the gross interference of the federal government in the economy. As for your own responsibility, No, not even a little.
Roosevelt saw the true face of the bosses of the three major companies for the first time. Usually these people were well-dressed, hidden deep from the public, and hardly expressed any opinions. Even if they sometimes have to speak, they also maintain a humble attitude. Who can imagine them now In the White House, the cheeky face posed.
"This is not a widely-loved image of an entrepreneur among the public." Roosevelt reluctantly reminded.
"There is no showdown, what image do we have? It's just a crime, a monopoly capitalist who uses opaque rules to engage in unfair competition. Is there any other image?" Sheffield asked with a teasing look, "This image Is n’t that what the White House and the federal government have created in the past three years, which has caused continuous slanders? Oh, we are also well-respected entrepreneurs in China. It ’s okay. We are the roots of the country ’s unrest and should be eliminated. "
"William is right, don't fool us with some false things. We are not voters who listen to you nonsense. For our business people, nothing beautiful is as useful as a direct benefit." Little Morgan is frivolous. Blew a whistle and said a set of data to state the facts and remind Roosevelt, "22,000 banks across the country have closed down halfway. I am willing to introduce some financial knowledge to Mr. President."
"The business cycle is associated with credit expansion and contraction cycles, and credit expansion and contraction significantly amplify market changes and changes in economic growth. The boom phase of the credit cycle weakens shock absorbers, which can cushion the emergence of financial systems. In the process of economic prosperity and evolution, some banks unwisely expanded the scale of loans in order to obtain more profits, and the credit ratings of customers are getting lower and lower. So, when some external shock occurs, bank directors They are soberly aware that their capital adequacy ratio is obviously insufficient relative to the level of credit risk they bear, so banks reduce or stop lending to customers, which triggers a liquidity crisis, which in turn leads to the collapse of the stock market and savers ’ panic."
"In the past two years, major companies have suffered the most. The roots are undoubtedly in the White House." Rockefeller Jr. continued directly from the words of Morgan Jr., "The Ministry of Justice and the Antitrust Act are used to deal with us with evil. The rich man, the White House became the biggest enemy of commerce. With the guidance of the White House, the state government followed closely, first the railway, then insurance, oil, tobacco. Our President is like an opera actor, within three days Big companies must be condemned, either this industry or that industry. "
Little Rockefeller might not have dreamed that he had cooperated with Little Morgan when there was no communication in advance, and finally it was Sheffield ’s turn. The slave owner saw Alice Roosevelt hiding behind the cloister and opened it slightly. unnatural. "This is not a problem for the banking industry or a trust company. Reverse court rulings, strengthened government rules, and bizarre presidential speeches have greatly dampened business confidence."
"In terms of the overall environment, the San Francisco earthquake, fire and the Bank of England's restrictions on financing bills. These unforeseen events have hit the economy and financial system, causing investors and savers to reverse the overall view of the economy."
Although Alice Roosevelt did not leave to a certain extent, but the solidarity between the capitalists is indisputable. If the forbearance against Roosevelt is calm now, the final result can only be to take a step back and get more angry. In the past three years, Roosevelt could have suffocated the three of them. Today is the day to turn over and become the master.
The three of you, I said one word, reminded Roosevelt not to limit it to the White House and the federal government. The world is so small, and our influence is so powerful.
"Don't you think you're doing it right?" President Roosevelt said angrily, "Now your performance in the White House, it just proves what makes me do it."
"How do you pass it?" Little Morgan leaned back and raised Erlang's legs, his face full of cynicism.
"Who believes it?" Rockefeller Jr. raised his eyebrows and asked meaningfully.
"Whoever believes, we will let him be in the environment of social death." Sheffield concludes, "Mr. President, this is not a problem-solving attitude, we have very time, continue to be just a bank The collapse of the market, the collapse of the stock market, and the economy entering a recession, you can say that we are standing by and watching. Anyway, you, the White House, and the entire federal government have said so, repeating lies and repeating. "
Alice Roosevelt, who was hiding behind the porch, listened to the tit-for-tat argument, and was a little worried about her father. The other three are the bosses of the most powerful enterprise group in the country, each of which can bring billions of cash flows.
As it is said, the relationship between the federal government and large enterprises has fallen to a freezing point in recent years, and each has a kind of mutual understanding. If the other side does not exist, the world will have a better idea.
Now that the conversation has just begun, the two parties have clarified their positions. There is no room for discussion at all, but the other party accepts their plan instead of cooperating. It is also not easy for his aggressive father.
"What a joke, the carrot and stick policy is applied to us?" Sheffield patted the table with his hand, but the voice was not loud, but it was clearly passed into the corridor. The dispute between the two parties has entered the next stage, "I don't know You are a strong president, you believe in strength, but open your eyes and see clearly who you are facing. "
"You are too much!" Alice Roosevelt stepped out, blaming Sheffield in anger.
Morgan Jr. and Rockefeller Jr looked at each other, and then said, "Miss Alice, we are talking about business."
Alice Roosevelt, who rushed out, calmed down and regretted it, but neither left nor stayed, or Sheffield said first, "Protect your father, of course, it's no big deal."
After giving Alice Roosevelt a step down, the problem still exists. When Alice Roosevelt was present, she was watched by a woman or a very beautiful woman. Everyone also restrained a lot of words.
Until noon, the negotiations did not produce any results. The three Sheffield hurriedly left the White House, each with a grim look. There was no comment in their eyes, so that the reporters waiting outside the White House had a cold heart, no results? ?
Alice Roosevelt sneaked out of the White House because she was accused of being upset during the day and found Sheffield trying to explain the misunderstanding, but she did n’t think she was wrong. Father. "
Looking at Alice Roosevelt's grievances, Sheffield lamented that the weakness of male animals is really too difficult to overcome, helplessly said, "I will pay attention later, but this problem is not caused by me unilaterally. At this time, You do n’t expect me to be a traitor, well, although you look as beautiful as you are in tears, it ’s best not to be sad. "
"My father is that kind of person, I can't help, you two don't quarrel." Alice Roosevelt snuggled in Sheffield's arms, grieved with her head on the shoulder of the slave owner, "I hope things will pass quickly, I don't want to watch When the two of you quarrel, I am wronged. "
"Well, you finally know what kind of person your father is, which is very reasonable." Sheffield gently stroked Alice Roosevelt's hair and promised softly, "Relax, I will try to be calm, Putting facts into perspective is no longer regarded as the enemy of a big business, but in turn, your father should not think that we are his voters, so-called speech dumping is useless to us. "
Who is President Roosevelt, Sheffield knows that old Roosevelt is a strong nationalist. Passionate about expansion. He once actively participated in the Spanish-American War, and he was in charge of colonial expansion. Of course, he was also an active supporter of the expansion of armaments. During his reign, he organized a global voyage of the Great White Fleet.
He is also a racist, and he often laughs at and satirizes those backward nations, such as the yellow race, which is not highly rated by him. After disputes with the economy in the Far East, he has always been the main force. Internally, the old Roosevelt hated those large companies and actively promoted antitrust laws.
To be honest, both the old Roosevelt and the later President Roosevelt are unconventional presidents. They should not appear in the United States of America at all. If they appear in a country like the Soviet Union, it is not a violation.
Just when Sheffield was about to take the opportunity to send a standard version at the risk of others, Alice Roosevelt was about to leave, refused Sheffield ’s excessive request, and said before leaving, "Keep it first, put The matter is resolved. "
The slave-owner looked at the stick below and looked sad, and he almost asked for a bodyguard to ask whether the prostitutes next to Washington were prosperous or not.
"As long as we stick to our stand, even if Roosevelt is the president, there is no way to take us." After returning, Morgan Jr. was obviously very satisfied with today's tit-for-tat. After the investigation by Northern Securities, this idea has been lingering in his heart for a long time. , Happy, very happy.
