Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 949: Finally, we have to fight

The California Consortium is an interest group that only emerged after World War II, with the Magnesium Bank as its core.

However, compared with the old-established conglomerates, it has only been a short time since its rise, so the gap is still quite large.

I want to imitate Morgan and win the Triple Crown for fun. It will definitely improve my own image and fame.

Robert no longer hid his feelings and said with a smile, “If little Morgan can be your friend, so can we.

And on the West Coast, we are the rulers. If you are worried that Morgan Jr. will think too much, we can talk to him first. "

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes after hearing this. If he were little Morgan, no matter how nice Robert said, he would still feel that he was betraying the friendship he had built up over the past few years.

As for friendship, Chu Xiangqian himself didn't believe in it. People like Morgan only cared about their own interests.

Besides, he was not Morgan's subordinate, and their relationship was just that of collaborators.

There is no reason not to make money instead of standing on the side of J.P. Morgan.

Even if you really do this, you never know when you will become a victim.

It is no secret that various financial groups are infiltrating each other.

Finance, military industry, medical care, oil and media are industries with too much profit to be monopolized by a single group of forces.

Didn't Rockefeller get beaten up and forced to split into seven oil giants?

So after World War II, these conglomerates were intertwined.

Focus on one thing and put your eggs in several baskets. As long as you have shares in many of the other party's companies, even if someone attacks your industry, they will not be able to destroy you.

Chu Xiangqian would not refuse out of hand. He could not afford to offend Morgan, and the Magnesium State Bank was also a behemoth.

Pretending to be embarrassed, he said, “I can’t guarantee this, and it all depends on luck.

There may not be another Triple Crown-level horse in the next few years. Whether or not a horse can even win the Triple Crown depends on luck.

Besides, the price I offer is not cheap.”

Robert didn't care how much the champion horse was worth, since he wasn't the one paying for it.

After some bargaining, the two men finally agreed that they would find a horse that could win the Triple Crown within five years.

And starting from next year, they must send a horse to the race every year.

Of course, this horse is not given away for free. The Magnesium State Bank will pay for it.

Moreover, the price of winning one championship is different from the price of winning three championships.

To put it bluntly, as long as the price is normal and they are not being taken advantage of, they don't care about money; what they want is fame.

If the Triple Crown is not won within five years, the agreement will continue.

This is actually a good thing for Chu Xiangqian.

Not only do we sell horses to these women at high prices every year, but the more hope we see, the more we always end up with one or two championships.

The resentment and expectations in my heart are even higher.

Correspondingly, as long as one horse wins the championship, it will prove that Chu Xiangqian did not fool them.

Robert understood this principle, and he believed that the people at Magnesium State Bank also knew that luck actually played a greater role in horse racing.

But this also shows that Robert and the people behind him don’t really know Chu Xiangqian.

As long as Chu Xiangqian is willing, he can create a champion horse whose strength far exceeds that of other horses.

After hanging up the phone with Robert, Chu Xiangqian called Morgan Jr. without thinking.

I didn't expect that little Morgan already knew what was happening in Java.

But think about it, Morgan is one of Standard Chartered's shareholders.

Although there is not much business in Southeast Asia, there must be someone keeping an eye on it. After chatting for a while, the two of them got down to business.

Chu Xiangqian’s request was simple, which was to let Europe and the United States know what happened in Java.

As for asking Europe and the United States to intervene, that is impossible.

The Meiguo people were busy fighting with North Vietnam, and they were eager to eliminate the red forces in Southeast Asia.

Little Morgan was silent for a while before he said, "Stark, you owe me a favor."

"No problem," Chu Xiangqian agreed without hesitation. He had to repay the favor, no problem with that.

But how to repay it and how to repay it is not something that Morgan Jr. can decide.

You can't just say that I'll go bankrupt just to repay you a favor!
Then, Chu Xiangqian talked about his transaction with Magnesium State Bank.

Perhaps because they had already won the Triple Crown, Morgan Jr. didn't have much of an opinion about it.

The only request was that Chu Xiangqian should not sell a horse with great potential to Magnesium State Bank even if he found one next year.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it for a moment and realized that next year would be the year for the senators to change their term.

Then next year will be important for Robert.

Moreover, the year after next will be the year of the change of leadership of the general secretary, and there will be a lot of things happening next year as well.

So Chu Xiangqian smiled and said, "If I agree to your request, does that mean I'm repaying your favor?"

Little Morgan immediately refused to accept this, "Stark, I did you a big favor, but you repay me with a trivial favor?"

Chu Xiangqian curled his lips. With Little Morgan's strength, getting the newspaper to report the massacre in Java was just a matter of words.

Moreover, it was just reporting that a large number of ordinary people were killed, which had nothing to do with his stance and did not implicate the newspaper or him at all.

Morgan, who was exposed, chuckled and said, "As a friend, I would like to ask you to do me a favor. Is that okay?"

Chu Xiangqian did not agree immediately, but smiled and said, "Then you also owe me a favor."

"No problem," Little Morgan knew the subtext of Chu Xiangqian's words was that the two favors would not offset each other.

How and what to pay back in the future all depends on what the matter is.

And the two of them basically believed that this favor was related to money.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiangqian said to Zhang Tianzhi, "I'm going to meet with Ran Mingkun from the Number Gang this afternoon."

Zhang Tianzhi was stunned. Although Lanmingkun didn't have much territory, it was no secret in the circle that this guy was mainly engaged in the killer business.

Just as he was about to give some advice, Chu Xiangqian said first, "Okay, I know what I'm doing."

To be honest, Chu Xiangqian actually felt a little powerless. This was not something that he could stop by killing some big shot in Java.

The Chinese in Java only account for a few percent of the population, but through their hard work, wisdom and accumulation of several generations, they control 70% to 80% of the wealth.

Even if the same killing happens again this year or 23 years later.

Although a large number of Chinese have left Java, 7% of Java's wealth is still in the hands of the Chinese.

The excessive concentration of wealth can only be attributed to the monkeys being too stupid, but hatred of the rich is also inevitable.

Once someone instigates and diverts internal conflicts, things that Chinese people don't want to see will easily happen.

All Chu Xiangqian could do was to reduce casualties as much as possible.

However, in addition to international pressure, sending ships to Java to pick up as many of their own people as possible, necessary retaliation is definitely necessary.

If you don't fight your enemies, you may not be able to stop them from killing you.
