Chapter 450 Honey, We Have Children...

Zhao Chuanxin answered the phone.

But I heard the voice of Edith Roosevelt: "Zhao Chuanxin, what do you want to do? Don't you think things are not big enough?"

Harm, white excitement!
She originally wanted to persuade Da Luo and Zhao Chuanxin to cooperate and turn around to deal with monopoly giants like Rockefeller.

Because Da Luo's proposition has always been anti-monopoly.

However, Zhao Chuanxin has stirred up the situation again and again. If he cooperates with him now and the people know the truth, they dare not challenge Zhao Chuanxin, but they dare to pull a banner to protest Da Luo.

This is extremely detrimental to Da Luo's career, and Edith Roosevelt has given up the idea of ​​​​cooperating with Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin moved the microphone away from himself, and waited until the explosion was over, then said: "Edie, you have to understand me, this is not my fault, this country is wrong, this world is wrong, and I am also a victim... ..."

"..." Edith Roosevelt: "You are a victim. Would you ask those who died in German Village to agree?"

"They're okay with it, and if they do, I'll hear about it."

"Do they dare to say it?"

"The rules of this world are dare and dare not, can and can't?"

Edith Roosevelt was silent.

Makes sense.

"I have ordered the switchboard to help connect the overseas calls. You will receive Wilhelmina's call in a while. In addition, I will tell you about Wilhelmina's private telegraph line..." After finishing speaking, Edie Roosevelt hung up the phone.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled.

What he did seemed reckless, but in fact he was still acting within the rules.

It was the Southern Front who fought first, and he just retaliated with an eye.

The difference from others is that Zhao Chuanxin does not go through judicial procedures and does not pay attention to evidence.

Zhao Chuanxin took a pencil and scratched unconsciously on the paper.

On the paper, a slender arm appeared first, with a fat texture unique to women, and then a half-brimmed hat and muslin.

Those beautiful hands are brushing tulips with strange and gorgeous flowers.

Just like the beginning of the new world, everything has never been named. When describing beauty, words are not needed. Touching with hands is the most real feeling.

When the sea of ​​flowers was formed, stretching as far as the eye could see, and the flowers in the distance were only speckled, then the phone finally rang.

Zhao Chuanxin put down the pencil casually, his mood completely subsided, he picked up the microphone: "I am Zhao Chuanxin."

Wilhelmina's clearer and unique voice than other young women said: "Did you miss me?"

Across the 5800-kilometer submarine cable, Zhao Chuanxin could feel Wilhelmina's joy.

"My love is separated by mountains and seas, and the mountains and seas are not flat. Thinking about it day and night, I can't sleep at night." Zhao Chuanxin said love words without heartbeat or blushing, just like eating and drinking water.

Wilhelmina choked up all of a sudden, and said pitifully, "I miss you too..."

In Zhao Chuanxin's mind, her charming appearance emerged.

Even if he has a heart as hard as stone, he really misses her a little.

So, he suggested: "Let me get involved with Royal Dutch Petroleum."

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin frowned: "Hello?"

"..."

Zhuo, the line is too long, and I don’t know how many switches I went through halfway, and the signal was lost.

After a long while, Wilhelmina's voice sounded again: "Hurry up and fix it for me, immediately, immediately..."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled imagining the scene on the other end of the phone.

He said, "Little Nana, are you still there?"

Wilhelmina happily said: "Yes, yes, I didn't hear what you said just now."

"..." Zhao Chuanxin said helplessly: "It's nothing, I'll talk about that matter later when I send you a telegram."

"Okay." Wilhelmina said brightly, "I want to tell you something."

Zhao Chuanxin: "Yeah, tell me."

"Honey, we have kids..."

There was no sound again.

How could Zhao Chuanxin's personality endure this kind of torture?
He hung up the phone viciously.

Then, he scratched his head: What did little Nana just say?

Half the story, really.

After waiting for a while, maybe Wilhelmina also felt that overseas calls were unreliable, so she never called again.

Zhao Chuanxin went to the mail room and sent a telegram to Wilhelmina: I miss you.I want to take a stake in Shell Oil, and Royal Dutch Petroleum wants to merge Shell Oil. Can you say a word and let me participate.

After a while, I received a reply: Yes, you can send someone to negotiate directly.My dear, I have something important to tell you, but the telegram is inconvenient and easy to be intercepted.

Zhao Chuanxin: I'll talk about that later.

Wilhelmina: Come to Holland.

Zhao Chuanxin: Wherever I go, there will be disasters, are you not afraid?
Wilhelmina: Do me a favor.

Zhao Chuanxin: Haha, there will be a chance, but not now.Okay, let's not talk about it, my business partner came to me with something important.If you insist on practicing balance, it will be very helpful to your body.

He said words of concern that Fanhui didn't charge.

Wilhelmina: When's the next time you'll send me a telegram?

Zhao Chuanxin did not return.

It turned out to be Thomas W. Lawson.

The two returned to his office.

"Didn't you go to accept the investigation? What's the matter?"

Thomas W. Lawson's face was a bit ugly: "Boss, the National Currency Investigation Commission was established jointly by Congress and Roosevelt. They have the right to make decisions before legislation. These thieves froze the 750 million US dollars that we did not have time to raise. "

Zhao Chuanxin got up slowly, pacing with his hands behind his back: "There must be a name, right? Freeze my money for no reason?"

Thomas W. Lawson said embarrassingly and helplessly: "The reason for our previous operation violations is that I wrote an article to manipulate the stock price..."

He looked at Zhao Chuanxin carefully.

Fearing that the boss would be furious and cut off his head with an axe.

Although this possibility is very small, a companion is like a tiger. In his opinion, the boss is more terrifying than a lion or a tiger.

Before, Jesse Livermore warned him not to let him engage in such small tricks.

But Thomas W. Lawson, headstrong, didn't listen.

Now he knows that he was wrong, and the price is much higher than the 268 million he earned at the beginning.

Therefore, he said cautiously: "Boss, otherwise, I will take the blame and resign, and draw a line with you and the trust company. Maybe in this way, they will not continue to freeze our funds."

When Fritz Heinze and Charles Morse exploded, the American Bank Clearing Association expelled them from their membership.

Now, Thomas W. Lawson is ready to voluntarily disengage.

Zhao Chuanxin remembered someone from later generations who said: The charm of a leader lies in knowing what to ask his subordinates to do, and knowing that the leader should take the initiative to take responsibility for the responsibilities that his subordinates cannot shoulder.

Therefore, Zhao Chuanxin lit a cigar and waved his hand: "My employees don't need those bells and whistles. If something happens, my boss will naturally take it on. There is no need to talk about it."

Sure enough, Thomas W. Lawson was completely moved.

"Boss, I..."

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him: "If something happened to these people, will the people who come later change their minds?"

Thomas W. Lawson knew what Zhao Chuanxin wanted to do, and he hurriedly stopped him: "Boss, absolutely not. This matter was decided jointly by Congress and Roosevelt. Even if a new group of people come, it will not change. .”

Now he is determined to follow Zhao Chuanxin.

Therefore, everything must be Zhao Chuanxin's staff.

Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Is the Great White Fleet arriving in New York soon?"

To say that the members of the US Congress are indeed short-sighted.

They did not agree to allocate funds for the Great White Fleet to sail around the world, because they felt that the price of eating horse chews along the way was too high.

But Da Luo is a man with personality, don't you agree?

Well, I let the fleet set off in the name of a military exercise, it can be said that I am going my own way, and I love whoever.

But when there is a problem, if Congress does not allocate funds, the Great White Fleet will not have enough money to support its voyage.

The United States also did not have the global network of coal mines that the United Kingdom now has.

But Da Luo had a solution: he signed contracts with various merchant ships and paid for half of the journey.

When the Great White Fleet is halfway through, Congress will have to make a decision: Do you want the Great White Fleet?If you want, you have to spend a sum of money to let the Great White Fleet return, otherwise they will not be able to return.

This is playing rogue.

The Great White Fleet set out from Hampton Harbor, sailed along the east coast of the United States, went to New York for a wave of supplies, and then plunged into the Atlantic Ocean, first visited European countries, and then went to Asia to show off in front of Japan.

This voyage, on the surface, was a friendly visit, but in fact it was a demonstration. The main target of the demonstration was Japan, followed by European countries.

Da Luo's intention is obvious: dog thieves, let you see Lao Tzu's muscles!
Thomas W. Lawson pays attention to various news every day, and nodded when he heard the words: "Yes, it will arrive in New York Harbor in no more than five days."

Zhao Chuanxin immediately sat back in his seat, dialed the dial, and called Roosevelt Manor: "Edie, ask your husband to call me."

Edith Roosevelt was startled: "What are you going to do? Don't go too far."

He was really afraid that Da Luo and Zhao Chuanxin would have a direct conflict.

She really didn't know where the upper limit of Zhao Chuanxin's ability was. If he could really kill the white house, it would be bad if he killed her old man.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and said, "I'm chatting with him about your ownership."

Edith Roosevelt said angrily: "Zhao Chuanxin, you have to know that you should speak with respect to ladies who are very different in age from you."

"Edie, I mean it from the bottom of my heart."

"What's the matter with you?"

"Hehe." Zhao Chuanxin stopped talking nonsense: "A nonsense organization called the National Currency Investigation Committee froze my $750 million in assets. I will chat with your old man and ask him to return it to me. People have a bad temper."

Edith Roosevelt said, "You've got the wrong man. If you really want to vent your grievances, it should be with Senator Eugene Hale of Maine, who initiated and directed the freezing of your assets." .”

In fact, Eugene Hale not only wanted the money from Black Zhao, but even used the money to make up for the cost of the Great White Fleet's military exercises.

Because until now, many people still think that Da Luo just wants the Great White Fleet to conduct military exercises.

Eugene Hale was extremely opposed to the Great White Fleet's circumnavigation of the world, and he was chiefly the one who withheld funding.But he eventually stepped back and offered to fund the military exercises.

Of course Zhao Chuanxin didn't know the inside story.

He frowned: "Edie, I'm going to talk to Roosevelt on the phone, and I have to remind you that this is very important."

Edith Roosevelt was not a religious man.

Although Zhao Chuanxin didn't recognize Eugene Hale, as long as the name was revealed from her mouth, it would definitely not be easy.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't want to be used as a gunman.
