George was invited to today's dinner, mostly for the sake of the man in the wheelchair.

Roosevelt, who was sitting in a wheelchair, also looked at George.

On the balcony of the banquet hall

"Good evening, Mr. Franklin Roosevelt."

Because he has been sitting in a wheelchair all year round, Roosevelt's face looks paler than ordinary people. He looked at the young man sitting opposite, but he did not dare to look down upon him. He smiled and responded, "Good evening.

Mr. George Orwell."

Now Roosevelt is running for the position of governor of New York State as a Democratic Party, but in fact he himself has a deep connection with the Republican Party. The 26th President of the Republican Party, Theodore Roosevelt, is his wife's cousin. Even

, when Roosevelt planned to enter politics as a Democrat, President Roosevelt, a Republican, angrily scolded him: "You despicable bastard! You traitor..."

Of course, even this did not dispel his determination to participate in politics. With the understanding and support of Mrs. Roosevelt, Roosevelt returned to politics.

He participated in the gubernatorial election in 1928 and narrowly lost, and was re-elected as governor in 1930. New York can be said to be Roosevelt's experimental place to cultivate his ability to conduct political activities and manage national affairs.

Before and after the election, campaign funds were indispensable, and George was Roosevelt's largest donor after his death. What confused Roosevelt was that he pursued policy preferences with other donors and other means to obtain profits, and George did not make any suggestions in this regard.

Interest appeal.

He had just met this man who had given him great support in terms of money and public opinion for the first time today. According to the information he had received, this young Mr. George Orwell Swent had made great achievements in various fields in the United States so far.

An incredible achievement. In terms of capital alone, it is already as good as some big families with a hundred years of history.

"Mr. Orwell, it is an honor to meet you and thank you for your support over the past two years." Roosevelt said.

"This is nothing to me." George responded with a smile.

"No, I think as the largest sponsor of my campaign, you have the right to put forward your own political leanings and demands." Roosevelt said.

"The presidential election will be held next year, right? And as far as I know, Mr. Roosevelt's nomination within the Democratic Party is not going smoothly." George suddenly changed the subject and said.

Roosevelt did not expect George's sudden change of topic. However, he did not make any cover-up for the question raised by George.

"Yes, sir, this is not a secret." Roosevelt said, "In fact, not only the party is not optimistic about me, but even the media does not think that I can win this nomination. Some media think that my nomination

The campaign will only bring chaos and trouble to the Democratic Party. Of course, this does not include Mr. New York Times. They have always given me great support."

"Maybe you can start with the 18th Amendment." George suggested.

In fact, the impact of "Prohibition" on American society far exceeds the original intention of the establishment of the bill. Perhaps the original purpose of promulgating "Prohibition" was to solve problems such as alcoholism, domestic violence, fights, crime and public health.

However, during the entire thirteen years of the implementation of Prohibition, the bill not only failed to do this, but changed the face of society forever, and this impact has not been eliminated to this day.

Although, George was a huge beneficiary of Prohibition. George's winery in California can produce millions of liters of wine every year. These wines are distributed throughout the United States through the High Table Council, bringing George a lot of money every year.

Hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. But George also understands that some things cannot be stopped, so it is better to make good use of them.

"Because of the existence of too much counterfeit wine, more than thousands of victims have become disabled, and most of these disabilities are irreversible." George explained.

During the Great Depression, some of the more common medical remedies contained relatively high alcohol content and were bought by ordinary people as drinks. Some small workshops would buy such folk remedies and add industrial plasticizers before selling them to ordinary people.

Then, a large number of victims appeared.

"I believe that the vast majority of the people will support your approach."

Roosevelt certainly understood that a large number of people opposed this bill, but there were also many people who supported it. Campaign policy is not so easy to choose. This is a matter of stance.

After George put forward his opinion, he stopped urging. Because George knew that he would definitely adopt his opinion, because this was Roosevelt's campaign policy in the previous life, and he just stated it in advance.

The early morning sunlight shone on the end of the bed in George's bedroom, and a pair of white and slender feet retracted under the quilt. George stood up and opened the window, with no trace of fatigue after morning exercise on his face.

"Honey, I think I need a little more rest today."

Last night’s female companion was so tired that she didn’t want to move on the bed.

"It's okay, you can sleep a little longer." After saying that, he walked out of the bedroom.

This is a villa in New York. George would never bring back a female companion whose name he couldn't remember back to Hogwarts Island.

After returning to Hogwarts, George dialed Vito Corleone's phone number.

"Sir, what are your orders?" Vito on the other end of the phone said respectfully.

"What happened to the tobacco agent we talked about earlier?" George asked.

"They've all been taken, sir." Vito replied.

"Then go and take down the liquor agency. Just like the tobacco agency, the more than 20 of you will get a share, and each agency will have some." George said.

"Sir, are you talking about a regular agent?" Vito asked.

"Of course it is a regular agent. Remember to bring a lawyer. The agency contract can take longer to sign. We are still in the period of alcohol prohibition in China, so the agency contract should be easy to get."

"Understood, sir."

After George integrated the entire underground council and established the High Table, in addition to the liquor business, George also allowed these more than 20 families to run some legal businesses on the surface. Even the liquor business will be serious after the lifting of prohibition.

Channels sell goods.

After all, the US tax department will be really powerful in the future.

By February 14, 1933, Valentine's Day was also the eve of Roosevelt's inauguration. The entire U.S. bank began to collapse. Trust companies in various states were at the end of their rope. Banks collapsed in batches. At this time, the U.S. banks had less than 6 billion gold in stock, but they had to cope with it.

There are about 41 billion in deposits, there are huge crowds of people in front of the bank, and bank runs are spreading across the country.

But this does not include George's Wells Fargo, not to mention that George's strong capital base is not afraid of runs, and George had already taken corresponding measures before this, so he did not suffer any losses in this wave of bank failures.<

/p>

Perhaps George was the only banker who was not scolded during this period.

Under the hype of the media, George and his Wells Fargo Bank once again made the headlines of newspapers across the United States.

Now all people in the United States know that deposits at Wells Fargo are the safest.

George is also operating through the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family, preparing to enter the door of the Federal Reserve. After all, there is too much cash that George can mobilize now. Under normal circumstances, for reasonable tax avoidance, it is placed on the Arabian Peninsula. Now

George is willing to put up cash, and the companies behind the Federal Reserve are eager for George to come out and take over.

On March 4, 1933, in front of Capitol Hill, Roosevelt solemnly took the oath: "I, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, solemnly swear..."
