1590 Superman saves the world

 When Tom and Benson went out to find jobs, the angel investment company was preparing to hold a dinner to raise funds for the foundation under Phyllis' name.

After 20 years of development, the foundation under Phyllis's name has expanded beyond southern Africa and taken root all over the world.

The United States is of course no exception. After the economic crisis broke out, the United States restricted foreign capital but opened its arms to charitable organizations.

There is nothing we can do about it. There are too many people in the United States who need relief.

In recent months, angel investment companies have made frequent good news, not only acquiring dozens of American companies on the verge of bankruptcy, but also successfully investing in Gulf Oil Company, becoming the second largest shareholder after the Mellon family.

The purpose of taking a stake in Gulf Oil Company is to break the restrictions imposed by the U.S. government on Adam. Don’t forget that Andrew Mellon is also the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury.

After Angel Investment Company took a stake in Gulf Oil Company, the U.S. government's ban on Adam Company was completely broken. Gulf Oil Company purchased crude oil from Adam Company, processed it in a refinery in Mexico, and then labeled it as Gulf Oil Company.

, sent back to the United States for sale.

Compared with before the outbreak of the economic crisis, Adan's profits have not been affected in any way, but Gulf Oil's profits have increased. After all, purchasing crude oil directly from Adan is cheaper than Gulf Oil's own extraction, and the oil is of higher quality.

Well, only a company like Standard Oil, which is always thinking about monopoly, would reject Adan's oil.

Therefore, Andrew Mellon is clearly on the invitation list of angel investment companies.

At the same time, the angel investment company also invited John Rockefeller, John Pierpont Morgan Jr., the current head of the Morgan family, Henry Ford, the president of Ford Motor Company, and Andrew Jr., the nephew of the American steel magnate Andrew Carnegie.

Speaking of Andrew Carnegie, he is an out-and-out American legend. When Andrew Carnegie sold the Carnegie Steel Company to Morgan for $480 million in 1901, Andrew Carnegie was the whole

One of the richest people in the world.

Andrew Carnegie had no son, only one daughter. According to American custom, a girl should take her husband's surname after marriage, so Andrew Carnegie only left some trust funds to his daughter and donated all the remaining property.

200 libraries were built across the United States, as well as the Carnegie Institute of Technology (Carnegie Mellon University), and the Carnegie Institute of New York was founded.

Andrew Jr. is the son of Andrew's brother Thomas. When he died, he distributed his property to his wife and nine children, each receiving approximately $10 million.

Most members of the Carnegie family now live on Cumberland Island off the coast of Georgia, which is the private property of the Carnegie family.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the Rhodesia Hotel was brightly lit, and the police had closed the entire street early. Only vehicles with invitation letters could enter.

The hall on the third floor was bustling with people. Michelle from the Phyllis Foundation was dressed luxuriously and chatting with the guests with her husband Marcellus.

After Nyasaland Bank acquired Goldman Sachs, Marcellus became president of Goldman Sachs Group, and Nyasaland Bank gradually retreated into the background.

Michelle was wearing a light green evening dress. Although there were snowflakes outside the window, the heating in the room was sufficient, and even with most of her arms exposed, she wasn't cold.

Michelle wore a set of dazzling ruby ​​jewelry, including a tiara, necklace, and brooch. In addition to rubies, the entire set of jewelry also used a large number of diamond decorations. It is said that it was the inauguration of the distinguished Lady Phyllis of Nyasaland in Rock.

Worn at the ceremony.

This set of jewelry will also appear at the auction house later, and all proceeds from the auction will be used for charity in the United States.

A group of prominent people discuss topics of romance.

In fact, just a few blocks away, countless human tragedies were taking place, but that certainly didn't affect the mood of the big shots.

"When it comes to tourist destinations, Nyasaland is an undisputed paradise on earth. Next year I will definitely go to Southern Africa to watch the Olympic Games. Then I will go boating and fishing in Lake Nyasa, and I will also go to Star City to see who the movie stars are.

How did you make the movie? I have always wondered whether the people who were shot and died in the movie were really dead - "Little Andrew was full of curiosity about Nyasaland. With the popularity of southern African movies, Nyasa

Names like Land, Rhodesia, and Transvaal have also become prominent in the United States.

Don't think that big shots are all wise and mighty. Some people just need to be good at reincarnation. The descendants of big shots are not just dragons or phoenixes. There are actually many prodigal sons.

The Carnegie family is another example in this regard.

Not long ago, Carnegie's only daughter had to sell the trust fund left by Andrew Carnegie in order to repair her ancestral home, which became the biggest black humor during the economic crisis.

Thomas's children are not much better. The magnificent mansions on Cumberland Island also require huge amounts of money to maintain. Those mansions are filled with classical furniture and exquisite porcelain. These things also need to be carefully maintained to retain the so-called

historical value.

Thomas died earlier than Andrew, and the inheritance he left to his children has been almost exhausted. Not long ago, there was news that the Carnegie family would sell Cumberland Island because the Carnegie family was unable to afford the debt.

There are Cumberland Island costs.

Private property in the United States is inviolable and is based on legal ownership.

Fortunately, Thomas died relatively early, otherwise Thomas' children might not be able to pay the inheritance tax.

The same goes for Cumberland Island. According to U.S. law, the Carnegie family owns Cumberland Island and must pay a certain amount of property tax every year. It is precisely because of property tax that the descendants of the Carnegie family have been overwhelmed.

"How is it possible? If those people were really shot and died, then there are not enough people in southern Africa to die -" Marcellus laughed, complaining crazily in his heart.

God knows how naive you have to be to think that everything that happens in the movie is real.

"So how were those thrilling scenes filmed?" Little Andrew was quite curious.

We can’t blame little Andrew for being ignorant. There are still people in the 21st century who believe that Superman can save the world. Needless to say, it was in 1927.

"The shooting effects, the reason why those scenes are thrilling is that a lot of movie props are used, and through some special effects, the visual effects look very cool-" Marcellus explained in detail, but he actually didn't know much.

"It's really cool!" Little Andrew was eager to try it. Seeing this, he wanted to buy a boat ticket to go to southern Africa tomorrow.

On the other side of the hall, Mellon, Morgan, and Rockefeller were talking about the economic crisis.

"Washington's response is too slow. It has been eight months since the economic crisis broke out, but Washington has done nothing. Can't we build an efficient and clean federal government like southern Africa?" Rockefeller was very dissatisfied with the U.S. government.

Danish companies bypassed U.S. government restrictions and re-entered the U.S. market through Gulf Oil, and the U.S. government should bear a large part of the responsibility.

Andrew Mellon, as U.S. Treasury Secretary, should also be held responsible for this.

Angel investors should not be allowed to invest in Gulf Oil.

"Washington is working hard to get out of the economic crisis. After all, we are a democratic country, which is different from the federal government in southern Africa." Andrew Mellon's mind is as broad as the Atlantic Ocean, as if he did not hear the sarcasm in Rockefeller's words.

"The biggest advantage of Southern Africa is that it has the Commonwealth market. Southern Africa has resources, strength, and industrial capabilities. The Commonwealth can provide a broad enough market for Southern African goods. These are advantages that we do not have." Morgan

As stable as a mountain, Adan Company will use special methods to circumvent the restrictions of the US government, and the Morgan consortium will also follow the same method. You have your Yangguan Road, and I have my single-plank bridge.

The strength of capital is indeed strong. After Southern Africa imposed restrictions on U.S. capital, the Morgan consortium's investment in Southern Africa was not greatly affected. After the economic crisis broke out, the Morgan consortium even acquired a part of the shares of the Bank of Rhodesia, transforming itself into the Southern Africa Bank.

part of Africa's capital.

Don't ask why Stoudemire is so ignorant, just throw money at it. Angel Investment Company's investment in Gulf Oil Company is also a premium acquisition, otherwise the Mellon family would not risk offending Rockefeller and agree to Angel Investment Company's entry.

In short, it is all kinds of intrigues, everyone gets what they want.

"That's why we need an open door and equalization of interests - a few lucky countries have seized all the colonies and sparsely populated overseas territories with their strong ships and cannons, leaving other countries without the natural resources necessary to maintain the survival of their people. This is

It is a clear injustice. To achieve true fairness, force can be used when necessary to expand the living space needed for national development!" Rockefeller's words are a bit dangerous. Many people may not know that the word "living space" actually means small

A term coined by beard.

Morgan and Mellon looked at each other, both of them worried.

At this time, applause suddenly burst out, Michelle took Marcellus' arm and walked up to the podium, and the auction was about to begin.

Speaking of this auction, Morgan and Mellon are also worried.

The funds raised at the auction are mainly used for charity in the United States. The Phyllis Foundation's charity is not to directly distribute money, but to purchase relief materials and distribute them to people in need.

This raises the question, is the money raised by the Phyllis Foundation in the United States purchased locally in the United States, or purchased from abroad?

It can be said that purchasing locally from the United States will definitely be good for the American economy.

If purchasing from abroad——

Then there is no doubt that the most likely source of goods comes from southern Africa.

This is also an enemy!
