United States.
New York.
In fact, Philander Knox never left.
Andrew Carnegie sold the Carnegie Steel Company to J.P. Morgan for $500 million in 1901.
At that time, Carnegie Steel accounted for 25% of the total steel sales in the United States.
Its rise relies on the fact that the United States implemented tariff barriers in the last century and used high import tariffs to encourage companies.
At this time, Carnegie changed its name to U.S. Steel Company.
J.P. Morgan merged with several steel companies.
At this time, J.P. Morgan was even more prosperous than when he was dealing with Zhao Chuanxin.
It has vaguely opened a new era of financial oligarchs dominating corporate tycoons. Some people have vaguely called it the Morgan era.
Old guy John Davidson Rockefeller now has to avoid his edge.
Strictly speaking, Philander Knox and J.P. Morgan had a feud.
Once upon a time, Ferrand Knox walked out of the small countryside, hooked up with Ronaldo, and began his journey to challenge the trust.
Beginning in 1902, Philander Knox investigated Northern Securities on the grounds of the Sherman Antitrust Act, and the first person to bear the brunt was J.P. Morgan.
Due to the 1904 Ronaldo election, Ronaldo was worried that prosecuting J.P. Morgan would affect the campaign. He once said to Philander Knox: "Is it necessary to write Morgan's name on the indictment?"< /p>
Leave a little bit of a sec in your life so that we can meet each other in the future.
Ferrand Knox said: "If you give the order, I will cross out his name. But in that case, I will refuse to sign the resolution."
Ronaldo lost the trust giant J.P. Morgan, but he won widespread public support, gained something from the lost, and then succeeded in the election.
Now Ferrand Knox has climbed to the position of Minister of Justice, while Ronaldo's career has basically come to an end.
In politics, there are no permanent friends and enemies.
When Philander Knox visited the monopoly capitalists headed by J.P. Morgan, there was no embarrassment on his face.
"Mr. Knox, your idea is good, but it is impossible for Zhao Chuanxin to take advantage of the Kaiser."
"If it is Mexico, there is still something that can be done , in fact we have taken on a lot of Mexican public debt, backed by Mexican oil mines and railroads, and Porfirio Díaz is certainly a good partner, haha"
The rest of the group laughed too. stand up.
Porfirio Díaz, the number one boss in Mexico, is quite cooperative with American capitalists like them.
Of course these people were angry that Ferrand Knox had targeted them.
Especially the dying Edward Henry Harriman, who spoke in a strange way, because when the railroad trust company he and J.P. Morgan formed was declared dissolved by the court, it was due to Philander Knox..
Flanders Knox was unmoved and looked at J.P. Morgan.
J.P. Morgan is still the same unsmiling person: "No matter what, we love this country and want to see it get better and better. Your idea is good, but there are two points at present. First, Zhao Chuan Will Zhao Chuanxin escape from the chaos in Berlin? Secondly, will Zhao Chuanxin cooperate with our actions outside the Qing Dynasty? I know something about Zhao Chuanxin. He is an extreme patriot and a supporter of pan-nationalism. ."
Philden Knox nodded, old J.P. Morgan had a longer view than the rest.
He said seriously: "Mr. Morgan, we are old friends. You know me. Whatever I decide and promise to do, I will spare no effort. As long as I get your support, China, the United States, and In the competition for the South American commodity and investment markets, I will give you generous returns."
First of all, clarifying my opinions and positions, Ferrand Knox continued: "As for Zhao Chuanxin, he is indeed a compromise. A fearful barbarian. However, I don’t think his political and economic acumen are comparable to those of you here. It turns out that he is also a greedy person.”
J.P. Morgan gave a rare smile. Mr. Knox, I don’t know if he has political acumen, but if you say he has no economic acumen, you would be wronging him. Have you forgotten what happened on Wall Street the year before last?”
Phelan? Denox was stunned.
Although the root cause of the 1907 economic crisis was not Zhao Chuanxin, his contribution to the crisis caused heavy losses to the American economy.
Washington also gave in to J.P. Morgan because of J.P. Morgan's efforts to turn the tide and rescue the market. Old J.P. Morgan did not hesitate to risk his own life and went to find Zhao Chuanxin in person to ask him to stop.
This incident made him famous and widely praised in both business and political circles.
It can be said to be a lot of money.
Philden Knox frowned: "I think it was a variety of coincidences, and it was done with the help of Thomas W. Lawson and Jesse Livermore. He personally does not have that kind of mind. . In the East, there are no Wall Street elites to help him make suggestions."
J.P. Morgan moved back: "I am very happy that you can talk to us openly and seek cooperation. This is very important to us. "It's important. But Zhao Chuanxin, we'd better wait for the news about him in Berlin before making a decision." Ferrand Knox was about to speak when his entourage knocked on the door, nodded with everyone, and walked away quickly. He went to his side, whispered a few words in his ear, and presented a piece of information.
Ferrand Knox looked down for a few times and his face became happy.
He showed his face and handed the information to J.P. Morgan: "Mr. Morgan, look at it, our Mr. Butcher has never failed in the war."
j.p. Morgan took it, read it carefully, sighed slightly, and handed it to the next person.
Flanders Knox relaxed physically and mentally, took out his cigarette and lit it.
The trend has been achieved!
Sure enough, after everyone finished reading, everyone's eyes focused on J.P. Morgan again.
J.P. Morgan said: "Mr. Knox, let's talk about the details."
Zhao Chuanxin did not return to The Hague.
He drove the second-generation Youlong and ran along the Labem River to Hamburg.
Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany. Because of a large fire in the last century, a third of the city was burned down.
Big cities in old European countries like this have quite a lot of historical sites. After a fire, the ancient buildings were burned to pieces, leaving a large area of open space for modernization.
If you simply use modern architecture to measure the advancement of a city, Hamburg looks more prosperous than Berlin.
Hamburg is Germany's most important port, largest foreign trade center, Germany's second financial center, with developed media and industrial manufacturing industries. It is almost impossible to completely destroy this place.
Every time you experience a disaster, you will rise from the ashes as quickly as possible.
Zhao Chuanxin knew that in 34 years, this place would experience a greater disaster. The surviving monuments would be completely destroyed and Hamburg would become a thoroughly modern metropolis.
In the warehouse on the Alster lakeside, Zhao Chuanxin inserted the No. 20 copper eye and ransacked it, taking away two valuable pianos and several large pianos from the Hamburg State Opera House. violin.
After entering the sea along the Labem River, Zhao Chuanxin wandered along the Danish coastline, made a circle into the Baltic Sea, and inserted the No. 21 copper eye in the Gdansk port warehouse in Poland.
On the return trip, Zhao Chuanxin teleported back to the Berlin Furniture Warehouse.
Open the energy fluctuation and convergence rune fragments and reach the white house of Qut Shalam through the holy light channel.
At this moment, night falls in Berlin, but it is not yet noon in the white house.
Zhao Chuanxin saw the little fat man Hu Wensio Tolic sitting on the front steps of the yard looking at the clouds in the sky in a daze.
"Don't you need to go to school?" Zhao Chuanxin's voice frightened Hu Wenxiatorik, who was in a daze.
He turned back in shock and said in surprise: "Mr. Constantine, you are back."
Zhao Chuanxian took out the door lock that Xingyue "planted" with a good steel mouth , just about to dig a hole in the door, but found that this door has experienced countless years of wind and rain, and it will fall off if you pick it with your fingers.
Hu Wenxiitorik saw that Zhao Chuanxin ignored him, so he volunteered: "Mr. Constantine, do you need my help?"
Zhao Chuanxin thought about it seriously: "Hu Wenxiao, if you could go to the monastery in Puebla and steal some food for me, I would be very grateful."
Hu Wenxiao Toric scratched his head: "Sir, I can do it. No. It's wrong to steal things."
"Then go to the side." Zhao Chuanxin cut the door shaft with the elf carving knife and threw it aside.
There was a "boom" and dust flew up.
Zhao Chuanxin entered the house. Hu Wenxiocitorik wanted to follow, but was blocked by Zhao Chuanxin.A slab-like body blocked the door.
While the little fat man was not paying attention, Zhao Chuanxin released the digging puppet.
Because the terrain here is high and the climate is dry, it is not easy to dig out underground water. Zhao Chuanxin asked Xingyue to control the digging puppet to dig vigorously.
When he went out, Zhao Chuanxin saw Hu Wenxiitorik still wandering in the yard, frowned and asked: "You really have nothing to do, right?"
"That's not the case, sir. ." Hu Wenxiatorik replied seriously: "I have to learn Latin and Spanish every day."
Zhao Chuanxin threw over a popular science book published by Lugang Town.
The name is Encyclopedia of Animals and Plants.
The author is Zhao Chuanxin.
This was written and drawn by him a long time ago. It is a popular science book for children, but it is said that it is also extremely popular among adults.
Many children who have never been out of Lugang Town have learned about Antarctic penguins, polar bears, and African giraffes through this book
After Hu Wenxiatorik opened it, he couldn’t move it away. Eye.
"Mr. Constantine, please tell me, what do these words mean?" He pointed to the introduction text on the book and asked with bright eyes.
Zhao Chuanxin casually gave him the Asian chapter, the hand-drawn text of the Siberian tiger, the first animal, and gave him notes in Spanish, and said to him: "First find the same words in each picture and text. The text should be translated into Spanish according to this note."
After speaking, he kindly handed him a pen.
Hu Wenxiitorik, who doesn’t like to study, couldn’t learn a few words in a week, but he figured out the meaning of several Chinese characters in a short time
Zhao Chuanxin Enter the house and demolish it, releasing puppet slaves to help.
The flaking walls should be destroyed altogether.
The stove was so dirty that the original color could no longer be seen. The stove and the thin wall in the middle were directly demolished and the waste was transported to the yard.
Anything that is not pleasing to the eye must be reformed.
In order not to shock the world, Zhao Chuanxin chose to transform rather than rebuild. Transformation took more time than reconstruction.
After working until two o'clock in the afternoon, Hu Wenxiitorik rubbed his growling stomach and asked Zhao Chuanxin eagerly: "Mr. Constantine, can I take this book home? I I want to get you something to eat, but my father won’t let me do that.”
Zhao Chuanxin felt a little sleepy, so he waved his hand: “Let’s go, don’t come this afternoon.”
Hu Wenxiitorik was ecstatic, hugged the book and ran away in the direction of the setting sun.
I was afraid that Zhao Chuanxin would regret it and take the book back.
Zhao Chuanxin heated up a pot in a dust-free place and had a simple meal.
Put on your blindfold and fall asleep in the west end of the house, in the setting sun.
Shepherd boy Ajureida drove the sheep back to the corral amid the jingling of the bells around the head sheep’s neck.
As the sun sets, the evening prayer bells ring through the quiet town.
The smoke from Qutsalam rose and dissipated.
YesSome people eat with grease at the corners of their mouths, some chew mesquite beans to satisfy their hunger; some sit back and relax, while others are hungry and cold.
These scenes passed by the sleeping Zhao Chuanxin.
When even the people who patrolled the town with Song Ming and stood on the last guard fell asleep, Zhao Chuanxin woke up instead.
In the cold night, he first used the Old God's crucible brand to warm himself up.
After the warmth surged, I thought: Who am I, where am I, and what will I do later?
After thinking clearly, Zhao Chuanxin stood up and lit the oil lamp in the dark night.
Trash piles up in the yard.
The puppet slave carried a load of soil dug out by the digging puppet on his back, staggering to increase the height of the soil pile.
Zhao Chuanxin entered the house, got into the tunnel in the corner, and opened the Old God Code. The first thing he did was to transport sand, use mud trowel gloves to reinforce the underground passage, and build load-bearing walls and load-bearing walls. column.
After enough sand was transported, Zhao Chuanxin began to refresh.
The situation is changing and the storm is coming.
I had the residents of Vanguard Companion Haven take shelter in the tower.
The craftsman took the giant beetle and hid in the shelter I specially built for them.
All assets of Pioneer Partner Haven have been properly arranged.
The efforts over the past few days have not been in vain.
At noon, a strong wind suddenly blew up.
My brother and sister, Dudu, and the craftsmen are all huddled in the fused quartz glass storm observation room at the top of a tall tower and looking into the distance.
But I saw a wall of sand blown up by the wind on the skyline, moving like a landslide and tsunami.
The sky was gloomy and dark.
Lightning and thunder in the dark clouds, cursing the rare spectacle of the desert.
Dudu said: Fearless Pioneer, it must be raining there, right?
I said: I don’t know, maybe it’s raining, maybe it’s thundering but not raining.
Dudu stood on tiptoe, lying in front of the window edge and said excitedly: I have never seen rain. I heard that after the rain, the sky clears up, and the rain will create a patchwork of vibrant oases, attracting colorful A collection of beautiful creatures.
I picked up Dudu and put it on my shoulders so that she could see more clearly.
I said: In Middle-earth, forests and grasslands are not uncommon. Stones and streams abound. There is a forest called the Shadow Forest, where nine tribes live. Not long ago, there was a war between them. It is a bizarre world different from the cursed desert. I will take you to see it when I have the opportunity.
Dudu’s eyes widened: Really?
My brother couldn’t wait to answer: It’s true, that’s where we came from. I never imagined that I would come to a world where there is nothing but sand.
Raindrops pattered on the fused quartz glass as we spoke. Along with the wind and sand, the surface of the glass observation port quickly became turbid, making it difficult to see.
The craftsman said: There is nothing good to see, and we can’t go out.go.
But Dudu was reluctant to leave, his eyes still staring outside.
Suddenly, Dudu pointed out the window and said: Look, what is that?
I looked intently and saw a black line surging in the sand dunes in the distance, which seemed to be some kind of living creature.
Just when I wanted to take a closer look, the windy sand soaked by rain completely obscured the lookout.
I asked the craftsman: Do you know what that is?
The craftsman’s face turned pale: I don’t know, but I am sure that it was some kind of living thing, either very big or many. We have to completely seal off the entrances and exits.
As he spoke, he hurriedly left with his brothers and sisters, giving orders to the residents to close the tower complex.
Dudu and I were still at the lookout because Dudu didn’t want to leave.
Suddenly, something blocked the lookout. Dudu and I saw a tentacle with a suction cup, squirming on the surface of the thick fused quartz glass, and disappeared in a flash.
Because the thing scraped off the wet sand, we briefly saw the close-up scene.
I saw a long leg of an unknown creature, and Dudu saw an emotionless eye looking at us coldly behind the glass.
Zhao Chuanxin became interested and asked the puppet craftsman and the digging puppet to suspend their work and teleport Xingyue over.
Xingyue said: There are many creatures outside that are not seen on ordinary days, and they are attracted by the water vapor. They follow the storm, some are killing each other, and some smell the smell of humans in the tower and try to get in.
Before Xingyue finished speaking, there were knocking sounds from doors everywhere.
Dudu was so frightened that he crawled into my arms.
I took out my gun, got off the watchtower, locked the entrances and exits, and patrolled everywhere.
Xingyue suddenly said: The gate of the left wing auxiliary building is damaged.
I rushed over, and sure enough, the craftsman was leading people with weapons to stab and hack at a strange hairy leg that stuck out of the door.
Because the wind and sand that poured into the tower were so strong that we could hardly open our eyes, we couldn't see the specific appearance of this strange leg.
I took out my lightsaber and slashed at the monster's legs.
The smelly liquid splashed out, and the strange legs retracted as fast as lightning.
I took the opportunity to put on my mud trowel gloves and stonewall the broken door.
The wind stopped.
By the light of the sea monster's grease lantern, we saw a pool of dark green liquid left on the ground.
Black hair grew on the craftsman's body, and the strange legs just now inspired his sea wolf state.
The craftsman’s voice became deep and hoarse, and he said: It stinks!
Then we heard someone shouting from the giant black beetle corral on the rear wing: They destroyed the ventilation holes, they came in
The craftsman was in sea wolf state, with extremely fast reactions and actions. quick.
It jumped up, attached to the roof of the shed, and ran quickly with its limbs touching the ground.
I quickly followed Dudu and my brothers and sisters from behind.Go up.
Before we could get closer, the craftsman flew back.
He was covered in wounds, and howled in pain and anger.
My brother and sister opened fire at the same time, and I heard a harsh whine and the sound of a giant beetle falling to the ground.
My brother shouted: Fearless Pioneers, there are too many, we can’t hold them anymore.
Zhao Chuanxin saw this and could no longer hold back. He opened the Holy Light Channel and entered it.
