Expedition to Europe

About half an hour later, Lu Yongyan came up to report to Simon Allen: "A carriage exploded, and it seemed to be intentional, right at the gate of the Morgan Consortium. Dozens of people died and hundreds were injured. The police have now blocked Wall Street. My people have spent a lot of effort to get some information, but it has not been verified, and the specific situation is still unclear."

"Are there any injuries to the Morgan Consortium?" Simon Allen said maliciously.

Tsk tsk, Morgan just rejected Simon Allen, and the Morgan Consortium's gate exploded. It's really gratifying.

But then, Simon Allen thought of another possibility.

"Damn, really, who the hell did this? Isn't this putting me on the fire? Let Will send a telegram to Morgan-no, forget it, I'll handle this matter myself." Simon Allen really felt bitter in his mouth.

Who blew it up and how many people died were not the problems, and Simon Allen didn't care, but the key was that the timing was too coincidental. Simon Allen felt that the people from the Bureau of Investigation had already arrived downstairs, and he was really overwhelmed.

This Bureau of Investigation was not the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but it was the predecessor of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In 1935, the Bureau of Investigation was officially renamed the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Will is the general manager of Federal Biology, and his full name is Will Scott. Because Federal Biology has a large cash flow and has many contacts with banks under the Morgan Consortium, Will is responsible for contacting Morgan Jr.

When he first heard about the explosion at the gate of the Morgan Consortium, Simon Allen originally wanted Will to communicate with Morgan Jr., but thinking of the evening banquet, Simon Allen changed his mind.

Warren may not be very capable, but he is popular enough to be nominated as a presidential candidate. As far as Allen knows, Warren has good relationships with the wealthy people in the automobile and oil industries, such as Mobil Oil, the Morgan Consortium, and the Mellon family. At the banquet in the evening, Simon Allen may have the opportunity to meet Morgan Jr., and Simon Allen will communicate with Morgan Jr. directly at that time.

Simon Allen was a little uneasy all afternoon. At seven o'clock in the evening, Simon Allen and Jane Correggi, who had changed her clothes early and dressed up, took a specially customized "Black Horse" to the Mellon family's mansion on Fifth Avenue to attend the so-called "Peace Future Dinner".

In fact, the US government does not have various strict regulations on "political donations". "Political donations" have always existed, and they do not need to be named in the name of various "foundations". Just donate directly.

But Americans are always fake, so this dinner for raising funds for Warren's presidential campaign was given a meaningless name, "Peaceful Future Dinner".

I went downstairs and got in the car. I drove less than 500 meters. I guess the engine was not even hot yet, but I had already arrived. It was just a few steps away, but I had to drive here in a grand manner. There were several cars in front and behind, including secretaries and bodyguards. "The Country on Wheels" is really worthy of its reputation.

This mansion of the Mellon family is actually a membership club. Simon Allen had been here before, but he was not a member here. It is estimated that after tonight, Simon Allen will have the right to enter and leave here freely.

Mellon's son Paul greeted the guests at the door. He was the one who would rather manage the library than do business. Simon Allen and Paul were already familiar with each other, and there was no more greeting. Simon Allen was led into the study on the second floor, and Jane Correggi was led into the hall.

In the study, Mellon and three other people were chatting. Simon Allen recognized one of them as Wicks, the manager of the Boston Stock Exchange of the Morgan Consortium. The other one was slightly fat and had silver hair, which was Warren. The last one was not tall and had a kind face, but he didn't know him very well.

"Look who's here, my friend, we just talked about you." Mellon was actually a man of few words. He was very respectful to be able to say so many words at one time.

"What are you talking about? I hope it's not because of that damn New York speed." Simon Allen was still very sociable and used self-deprecating methods to narrow the distance.

"New York speed" refers to the construction speed of the Empire State Building. When this 66-story landmark building was just started, it was known as the "New York speed" at a speed of four and a half floors per week. However, in the past two weeks, the construction of the "Empire State Building" seemed to have some problems and the progress had stagnated.

This also made the former "New York speed" a joke.

"It's not because of that reason, but because of your Federal Motors. You have put a lot of pressure on Henry. I heard that the stubborn Henry finally decided to launch a non-black car. How about it? Do you feel the pressure from the Motor City?" Weeks explained.

The stock exchange manager is always the one with the most information. Maybe Ford's stock will rise a lot because of this news.

Before Federal Motors entered the United States, all the cars produced by Ford were black. Henry Ford, the boss and founder of Ford, even declared that "any customer can paint the car in any color he wants, as long as it remains black."

After Federal Motors entered the United States, it was indeed seizing the market that originally belonged to Ford Motors, especially in the high-end car segment. Currently in New York, such as Manhattan and Long Island, there are almost no "Model T cars" in wealthy areas. Shadows are all "Wuzi" and "Jueying".

Because of its different positioning, Ford still does not lack orders, but Ford still feels the pressure from Federal Motors. After a year of persistence, Henry Ford is finally ready to launch non-black cars. From this perspective, Federal Motors has achieved Success, they have successfully threatened Ford's cake.

"If it is because of this reason, then Henry will have to worry a lot in the future." Simon Allen was full of confidence.

In fact, in two months, Federal Motors will also launch the Federal version of the "Model T", which is the once famous Beetle. Federal Motors is preparing to rely on the tenacious vitality of the Beetle to launch a general attack on Ford.

Compared with Ford's "Model T", the Beetle has more tenacious vitality. Federal Motors decided to take out this classic model that was only born in 1938 and continued to be produced until 2003, just to break through Ford's monopoly on low-end cars.

"Ah, damn it, I really don't want to hear such news. Every time I hear such news, I curse your Majesty the King. I really hope that an economic crisis will break out in Lanfang tomorrow." Weeks told Qin Zhiyuan didn't have much respect, and he spoke unscrupulously.

"Ha, then you are disappointed. There will definitely not be an economic crisis in Lanfang, and our King does not need Federal Cars to earn this kind of money." Simon Allen must be trying his best to protect Qin Zhiyuan.

Weeks is the manager of the exchange, and the projects involved are stocks, bonds, investments, etc., but these things have nothing to do with the Federal Group.

The Federal Group is not a listed company so far. This proves that the Federal Group is not short of money on the one hand, and also proves Qin Zhiyuan's strong control over the Federal Group on the other.

Perhaps it is for this reason that Simon Allen’s work in the United States is a bit difficult to carry out. The Federal Group is not listed, which means that capital giants such as the Morgan Consortium have no chance to control the shares of the Federal Group. This will definitely It gives people a very exclusive feeling of isolation.

Since they are all consortiums, if there is no cross-holding, they really don't have much confidence. Even if they only control 1% of the stock, they still feel like "one of their own".

"The economic crisis may not break out in Lanfang, but we are in danger now. If we don't do something, the economic crisis may break out soon." Warren finally had the opportunity to interject.

Warren's judgment is consistent with that of the Federal Group think tank. This does not mean that Warren has a keen economic sense. There must be a think tank behind Warren, which is not surprising.

"Well, judging from the current situation, it is indeed very dangerous." Weeks nodded in agreement.

Mellon also nodded, but said nothing, holding the cup and tasting the wine by himself.

Yes, it’s wine!

Although "Prohibition" is currently being implemented in the United States, this kind of law has no effect on people like Mellon. Simon Allen noticed that both Warren and Weeks had drinks in front of them.

Well, the laws of the United States are actually made by these people.

“What America needs right now is not heroism but healing; not panacea but normalization; not revolution but restoration; not excitement but peace of mind; not experimentation but balance; not a world dominated by international affairs. Rather than being involved, it is about achieving success domestically..." When talking about the areas he is familiar with, Warren immediately became eloquent.

If you don’t know Harding well, you will definitely be impressed by Warren’s gorgeous language and melodious rhymes. But anyone who is familiar with Warren knows that this guy really can’t get on the stage, just like Pennsylvania. State Senator Boyce Penrose's advice: "Don't let Warren leave his hometown. If he goes out to campaign, people will ask him questions, and Warren is exactly the kind of wimp who wants to answer them."

Simon Allen was not interested in asking Warren questions. When Warren felt a little tired after talking for a long time, Simon Allen took the opportunity to ask Weeks: "What happened at noon today?"

As an executive of the Morgan consortium, Weeks must know the answer Simon Allen wants.

"Don't mention it, it's a group of anarchists. Damn it, they just want to be in the limelight." Speaking of the bombing at noon, Weeks really gritted his teeth.

"To anarchists, they are a cancer on society..." Warren seized the opportunity and started talking again.
