1855 United States Tycoon

Scrooge has learned from the Rothschild family's telegram that the old foxes of the Rothschild family have long understood that the North American railroad frenzy is a capital trap. But for a true capitalist, it is impossible to avoid the trap immediately after seeing it. When a true capitalist sees a trap, his first judgment is how he can use it to make a profit, how to dig it better and deeper, and how to let more people fall in and make more money.

Now Joshua is talking to Scrooge about how to dig this trap deeper.

"With all due respect, the current rail boom in North America has been overheated. Railways in many regions are actually being rebuilt. More than one-third of these railroads may already be more than profitable even in the long run. Possibly. I think it is possible for the North American railways to turn to tulips. Mr. MacDonald, what do you think?" Joshua asked.

"Yes, Mr. Rothschild, your worries are not unreasonable. The railway is indeed an opportunity to make money. It is like that even in the tulip wave, some people can make money. And one thing is that today's railways , And the tulip trend of the year is different. Nowadays, the North American railway is like a glass of beer just poured into a glass. Looking at the past, the glass is full of foam. But we know that the tulip glass is basically full of foam There may not be any wine that wets the bottom of the glass. This is not the case with the railway. Although the railway has foam, there is still a lot of wine in it. After the foam is completely broken, we can see how much beer there is in it. . However, by that time, the opportunity to make money is missed. A good business man can estimate how much beer it can have when the bubble is rolling upwards. The more accurate the estimate, the more money it will make. ." Scrooge laughed.

"This requires us to strengthen cooperation." Joshua said, "You see, our intelligence network can understand the movement of funds in Europe relatively accurately, and can provide you with information in this regard. And in the United States market In terms of understanding, no one can surpass you. So you can also provide us with the corresponding information. If our two work together, we can more accurately estimate how much beer is under the bubble, and can also grasp the most Good time to get started."

"But I want to tell you honestly, some of our old friends may not be willing to see the Rothschild family return to North America." Scrooge smiled and said that the hostility of the Morgan Consortium to Rothschild is no secret. Now, although Morgan used the power of the Rothschild family when he started his business, the situation is completely different now. Before the Civil War, the Rothschild family had already occupied a near-domination position in the North American capital market, just as they did in the European market. But after the war broke out, the Rothschilds judged that the independence of the South was supported by the British government and thus succeeded. This judgment is actually not bad, because if it were not for Lincoln’s use of the "Proclamation on the Emancipation of the Black Slaves" to launch a public opinion offensive, he had successfully discredited the South as rebels solely for the purpose of safeguarding slavery, which would have caused almost all public opinion in the United Kingdom to fall. In the north, Britain is ready to recognize the Southern Alliance and use naval power to help the Southern Alliance break the northern maritime blockade. If the situation develops to such a point, the South might really become independent. Once the South becomes independent, United States will fall into the siege of the pro-British Southern Confederation and Canada, and its development prospects are hard to say. Therefore, it is completely understandable that the Rothschild family withdrew its own power from North America.

However, in the past few years, the power vacuum left by the Rothschild family was quickly filled, and the Morgan family filled this gap. Because of this, the Morgan family is very sensitive to any attempt by the Rothschild family to return to North America, and firmly opposes it. And this is not a secret at all. It can even be said that anyone who is engaged in finance knows this. The Rothschilds knew this as well. In the original history, the Rothschild family has never returned to North America since retreating from North America. Before the retreat, the Rothschilds owned six banks on Wall Street. Today, they no longer have any banks in North America. Scrooge mentioned this to Joshua not to deliberately provoke the relationship between the Rothschild family and the Morgan family. Their colleagues are enemies, and the relationship between them does not need to be provoke at all, as long as the Rothschild family dares to continue. When opening a bank on Wall Street, the conflict between them is almost inevitable. Scrooge's purpose in mentioning this matter is actually to increase the price.

"You know, we have a very close relationship with the bankers on Wall Street now, and their relationship with your family is pretty good. But to be honest, they might be pretty close to Rothschild's return to North America. It’s very vigilant. Especially returning to the financial world on Wall Street is very resistant. If your goal is to return to Wall Street and become a banker’s banker, then I am afraid it will be difficult for me to have a very in-depth cooperation with you. Because, I It’s impossible to go across Wall Street for a Bordeaux winery.” Scrooge saw that Joshua seemed to want to speak, so he went to the market to add:

"My friends, don't worry, please listen to me slowly finish my thoughts. Well, you know, I am a straightforward person. When talking with friends, I always like to explain things straightforwardly. I think this is good, so that all kinds of misjudgments can be avoided. The current Wall Street banking industry has basically been influenced by Mr. Morgan, and they have organized a huge joint fleet. Mr. Morgan is their flagship. The whole Wall Street, with the exception of the McDonald Venture Capital Bank I have, all influential and slightly larger banks have more or less joined this fleet. Recently, you returned to North America and started to carry out railroads. After the investment, the speed of their integration has further accelerated.

I have no doubt that your family has enough financial resources to fight against Morgan’s combined fleet. Even though this is their home field, if your family does its best, it can still be repelled or even attacked by its strong strength. Pour them. If your family really decides to do this, it is not impossible for me to stand on your side. But, is it possible that your family will concentrate all their power to deal with Morgan and the others? "

Scrooge smiled and shook his head: "Your family is the sunless empire of the banking industry. It is powerful and awesome. But, just like the North American War of Independence, if the British really did their best, Then North America cannot be independent anyhow. Even during the Second American-British War, if the United Kingdom went all out in desperation, the result would not just be a fire on the White House and Capitol Hill. United States was completely It may become a British colony again. But can Britain really do its best at that time? That is impossible, because there are more important things on the European continent, perhaps related to the rise and fall of Britain. To deal with. Britain is the world’s leader, the earth is the longest, and he has the strongest power, but he has the most areas to take care of. It is impossible for him to squeeze out so much power to deal with United States. I am afraid your family is the same. Not necessarily true How much power can you use to fight Morgans? After all, your family’s roots are still in Europe. So, if your intention is to join forces with me and open a hole in North America. I’m sorry, despite your suggestions It’s tempting, but I don’t dare to offend my friends on Wall Street for this."

When Scrooge said this, Joshua was a little sad. But Scrooge's reaction was originally expected by the family. It would be great if Scrooge could fight against other banks on Wall Street and bring the family's power back to Wall Street, but if this highest target is not achieved, there will be a second-class goal.

"Scrooge, you are right. Europe is more important to our family. We really can't use much of our power in North America. I also know that you are telling the truth, and we did not force you to make an alliance with Morgan. Confrontation means. Our goal is just to cooperate with each other and make more money. Our family has no idea of ​​returning to Wall Street to open a new bank. Because the difficulty is indeed a little bit bigger." Joshua replied. Scrooge could understand that the so-called no plan to return to North America to open a bank now does not mean that he will not have it in the future. After the civil war is over and the United States has maintained its unity, everyone can see that United States has a lot of money and can come back to make money. Who wouldn't want it? It's just that Rothschild wants to come back, it's too difficult. This is the case in the business field. If a key step is taken wrong, it will be difficult to catch it back later.

"I do have an idea. It will not irritate Morgan and the others, but it will also make us all make money." Scrooge said.

"What are your thoughts, let's hear it?" Joshua regained his spirit.

"We can cooperate in this way. You know, I also have a bank in my hands, and it is currently operating well. In addition, I also have an insurance company. Investment needs, such as railway speculation, can be done through my McDonald Venture Capital Bank. Of course, in return, I can agree that we have various businesses in Europe, except for the technology of McDonald Venture Capital Bank. In addition to venture capital, as long as you need financing services and you are interested, we can entrust all of them to your family. In this way, the advantages of both parties will be brought into full play, and they will not be too stimulating to others and cause unnecessary Trouble. What do you think of this idea?"

Joshua thought for a while and wanted to answer: "This is an interesting suggestion. But Scrooge, you know, I don't have all the right to decide on this issue. So I can't give you an answer right now."
