Rockefeller's "godfather" is not Marlon Brando's, but rather the original meaning of the godfather, that is, a person who is given a Christian name when an infant or toddler is baptized and who undertakes to undertake his religious education.

There is a saying in Sicily, Italy: the world is too dangerous, and a child must have two fathers; Therefore, after the child reaches a certain age, the child's father will ask the local prestige and authority person or friend to act as the child's godfather, so in this sense, the "godfather" in the West is similar to the godfather in the East.

Of course, this godfather is not his godfather, don't get me wrong.

In terms of Rockefeller's identity, it is more than enough to be a godfather for anyone, and Li Mu will not refuse Rockefeller's request, which will make the relationship between Li Mu and Rockefeller closer, but this is a more personal matter, and it is a bit out of place to say it in the conference room.

It doesn't matter, with the status of Li Mu and Rockefeller, nothing is an absolute private matter, and any decision they make will affect the lives of many people, and even affect the economic trend of the United States.

"Are ZAMA and Standard Oil going to unite? I remember when I was notified when I was issuing shares, I think there must be a lot of people who are willing to invest. ”J· P. Morgan didn't want to be the godfather of Li Mu's children, and the only thing he was interested in was investment.

In terms of stocks, Li Mu and Rockefeller are standard iron roosters, Li Mu's Junma Group is not listed at all, and others just want to send money to Li Mu There is no way, although Standard Oil is listed, but most of the stocks are in the hands of Rockefeller, and the dividends taken out every year are pitiful, even so, Standard Oil stocks are still sought after by the market.

This situation is related to the industry status of Junma Group and Standard Oil, Junma Group occupies a monopoly position in many industries, and Standard Oil is the undisputed boss in the oil field.

As a financier, J· What P. Morgan hates most is people like Li Mu and Rockefeller, if all entrepreneurs are like Li Mu and Rockefeller, J· P. Morgan is about to lose his job, so now J· P. Morgan also began to slowly try to invest in the industrial sector, and in another time and space, the acquisition of Carnegie Steel Group was the result of J. Morgan's acquisition of the Carnegie Steel Group. P. Morgan's handiwork, Carnegie also became the nominally richest man in the United States at that time with this acquisition.

The reason why it is nominal, is because there are rich people like Rockefeller, although everyone is guessing how much money Rockefeller has, but in fact those guesses are not accurate, people like Rockefeller will not put all the hole cards on the surface, just like an iceberg on the sea, no one knows how big the volume hidden under the sea is.

"When the world is about to be destroyed, I will go public with the Junma Group." Li Mu joked casually, it is impossible to go public, and he will never be listed in his life.

"What a boring person." J· P. Morgan shook his head and sighed, encountering such a miser, J. Morgan P. Morgan was also helpless.

The reason why Scrooge can become a "Scrooge" is because there is money to keep, and beggars also value every steel hammer they have, but no one will say that a beggar is a Scrooge.

After the meeting, Will took Andrew Carnegie to Pennsylvania, and Li Mu continued to stay on Governors Island to attend to the two pregnant women at home.

Both pregnant women are pregnant for the first time, Gloria's due date is still early, Chuxue's due date is in June, and in the last few months of pregnancy, everyone is cautious, and the medical team hired by Li Mu has increased to nine people, two are full-time doctors, and the others are nurses, making every effort to ensure that the two pregnant women do not have any problems.

In order to take care of the nearest care, Li Mu also moved his office to Governor's Island, and now the main building began to feel crowded, and the secretarial team, financial team, legal team and administrative team were crowded into a few offices in the main building.

"Vanderbilt Motors is still in a good situation, they have nearly 2,000 workers, many of them skilled workers with many years of experience, these workers are our greatest asset, I have transferred their labor relations to the Junma Automobile Factory, many of them are now treated as engineers, and their salaries have almost doubled, which suppresses all dissatisfaction." Henry often chats with Li Mu, which is not a report to work, and it is a bit of a routine report.

The assembly line of work practiced at the ZAMA Motors Factory is no secret and has become popular in almost all factories, including the Vanderbilt Automotive Factory, but because of the more advanced management of the ZAMA Group, the results are more obvious.

The assembly line is very good, but it is not omnipotent, counting on the promotion of the assembly line can not make a company come back to life, the assembly line implemented by the Junma Group is based on the ten-hour working system, and the Junma Group promises the future security to the employees, as long as the workers work in the Junma Group, the Junma Group almost bears all the life, old age, sickness and death of the employees, which will stimulate the enthusiasm of workers to the greatest extent, even if other enterprises want to follow suit, they do not have so much courage and strength.

"The Vanderbilt family is also well-established, after all, it is the richest man in the United States in the last generation, the former shipping giant, so it is normal for the car factory to have talents, but it is a pity that a good card was beaten by Paul Vanderbilt, and it is estimated that many people will only think of the Vanderbilt family when they need negative teaching materials in the future." Li Mu admits that the Vanderbilt family has a background, which also highlights Paul Vanderbilt's incompetence, even the U.S. government is no longer mentioning the Vanderbilt family, the former Vanderbilt family is the representative of the "American dream", and now this dream has been shattered, and mentioning the Vanderbilt family is a slap in the face.

Now Washington's new favorites are the Horse Group and Standard Oil, on the list of key enterprises just listed by Congress, the Horse Group and Standard Oil are impressively listed, and on the list there is also Carnegie's Carnegie-Rim Steel Company, these key enterprises will enjoy certain tax breaks, which is the Congress is showing favor to the capitalists, as for the resulting gap between the rich and the poor, it is not within the scope of Congress's consideration.

To put it bluntly, although the United States is nominally the United States for all Americans, in fact the United States is the United States of the rich in the United States, and the poor have no sense of existence in the United States, at least not at this stage, and the United States is not yet capable of allowing all Americans to enjoy the dividends of development.

"People in the stock market are crazy right now, and Steven, the vice president of the Union Pacific Railroad, announced at the beach club yesterday that he wants to buy all the railroad shares in the market, and we should also make some money, and now the money in the stock market is very profitable." Even Henry said that the money in the stock market is easy to make, which shows how crazy the stock market has become.

Takeovers and counter-takeovers of several railway companies have reached a fever pitch, and as long as the shares of railway companies appear in the market, no matter how high the price is, they will be bought immediately.

"Yes, but pay attention to the timing, fast in and out, and be careful of being sheared by those railway companies." Li Mu is not opposed to speculation, J· P. Morgan is the biggest speculator, and Li Mu is not qualified to oppose it.

After every economic crisis, it is the beginning of a new round of sheep shearing, the last economic crisis originated from the overheating of the American railroad industry, and now the United States has recovered from the economic crisis, Europe has become a tragedy, and is still struggling in the economic crisis, which also makes many European capital forget the pain, they do not have much choice, and it is not a good idea to keep cash in the bank.

Sure enough, at Castle Clinton at night, Li Mu met speculators from Europe.

Europeans in the United States are very easy to recognize, half of them look arrogant, they come and go with a large number of entourages, all of them are like princes, Europeans are used to wearing formal clothes, sometimes they look a little too serious, even if it is a very casual occasion, it is rare to see Europeans casually improvise, Europeans who appear in Clinton Castle, even wear top hats, cumbersome tuxedos, often have a civilization staff or umbrella in their hands, the latter is the habit of Londoners.

Americans are not like this, when Li Mu came to the United States, he also prepared dresses for the Yan family father and son, but the dress was placed in the closet and had almost no chance to be used, and Li Mu had not seen Yan's father wear it several times in the past few years.

In the eyes of Europeans, the United States is a country lacking in heritage, and even New York gives Europeans the same impression.

However, the age and vicissitudes of Clinton Castle still gave these Europeans a lot of favor, but it is a pity that they quickly lost interest after looking at the sculptures on the exterior wall a few more times.

Clinton Castle used to be a military fortress, and the sculptures on the exterior wall were added after the transformation into a club, completely for the sake of vassal elegance, this kind of thing can fool ordinary people, and in the eyes of connoisseurs, it is a dog's tail and a mink, and if you want people to admit that this kind of behavior is meaningful, I am afraid it will be decades or hundreds of years later.

"There have been a lot of Europeans lately—" Li Mu casually chatted with Arthur as he walked.

"They are all investors looking for opportunities, they are now called 'moving purse bags', the first few are the Hohenzollern family, they ran fast in the last economic crisis, they came back to Europe with some money, and now they are looking for opportunities, I hope God bless them." Arthur's tone was full of pity, not believing that good fortune would always be with the Hohenzollerns.

The stock market is like this, when someone loses money, someone must make money, there is a risk in entering the market, and investment needs to be cautious, everyone knows this sentence, but often can't do it.

"I'm also going to make a little money, it's so easy to make now." Li Mu and Arthur are old friends, and if Arthur wants to invest, Li Mu will not refuse.

"It's too late for you to start now, I know someone who bought almost half of the outstanding railroad shares in the market during the economic crisis in the past few years, and you can only be a pick-up man now." Arthur revealed inside information to Li Mu and did not approve of Li Mu's entry into the stock market.

"Who has such a great ability? Piper? Li Mu's first suspicion was that J· P. Morgan, there are not many people who have this kind of vision and ability at the same time.

"Who else is not him? It was he and a group of Bostonians who blew up the market, and now they're in the harvest season. Arthur was very dissatisfied with this kind of speculation in the market, but there was no way, maybe Arthur was one of them.

The U.S. stock market at this stage is just like the real estate industry in a certain country in the 21st century, in fact, everyone knows that the stock market will collapse, but everyone is confident that they can get out in time to find the receiver, and I really don't know where they got their confidence.

"So, I'd better be honest and open a factory." Li Mu doesn't want to rush into an unfamiliar industry to be sheared, if it is sent to the door, even if J· P. Morgan and Li Mu have a good relationship, and J· P. Morgan probably won't be relentless.

This is simply a certainty, if J· P. Morgan wants to build a car now, so Li Mu will not let J. Morgan go. P. Morgan, just eat your own food honestly, don't always worry about other people's bowls.

The attic is Li Mu's fixed seat, here you can see the "four brothers of the fort" not far away, Li Mu every time he comes here, there will be a sense of pride, this is the mark left by Li Mu to the times, don't look at Li Mu has been looking for a sense of existence, in fact, Li Mu already belongs to this era.

"I heard that you and Piper are going to invest in mining, this industry is good, and now is the opportunity." As the governor, Arthur's vision is naturally not bad, and the key is that Arthur has intelligence, which takes a big advantage in the investment market.

Because of the riots in Pennsylvania, mine-related stocks are at a low point, and everyone is waiting for the opportunity to enter the market to buy the bottom, but unfortunately only a few people know the timing of entering the market, which is the difference between retail investors and market makers.

"I'm not here for hype, I'm an industrialist." Li Mu emphasized his identity, and J· The speculator of P. Morgan is fundamentally different.

"What's the difference? It's all the same. At least in Arthur's eyes, Li Mu and J· P. Morgan is no different, although one is in industry and the other is in finance, but both are the objects of Arthur's service.

Yes, politicians are so sad, even Arthur himself is now not big or small and a rich man, but as long as he is in the field of politics, Arthur has to put himself in the right position.

"Same with the gang downstairs?" Li Mu took off the short coat on his body, handed it to Mason behind him, and after sitting down on the chair, he put his feet on the windowsill, not paying attention to his image at all.

"Ha, that's different, they're moving money bags, and you're running a bank." Arthur also acknowledged Li Mu's home advantage, in the United States, this is Li Mu's home field.

The Hohenzollerns are a German royal family, and of course they are invincible in Germany, but not necessarily in New York, where New Yorkers don't care who the German king is.
