Chapter 627 Little Morgan Takes Action
Back at the residence, Louisa Morgan was taking care of the child. She took great care of this child who belonged to them both, even more diligently than the maid.
"Look at my son! How lucky he is to be born into such a family." Sheffield sighed as he looked at George Morgan in the woman's arms. George Morgan was the child's name.
Originally, Louisa Morgan wanted to name the child William Sheffield, but this uncreative naming method aroused strong opposition from the slave owner, and in the end, like Edith Rockefeller's children, the child took his mother's surname.
"Of course our child is born to be more successful than others. I will give him all the best things." Louisa Morgan replied with a smile when she heard the man praising their child.
"To be precise, it means taking away the best things!" Sheffield corrected Louisa Morgan. Although he could not make his son a natural genius, he could abolish the public education system and make other people's children stupid. Breaking someone else's legs would only make him look faster.
It shouldn't be difficult for a normal person to defeat a disabled person. After coaxing her son to sleep, Louisa Morgan carefully left the room and asked, "What did you do?"
"Talk to your friend who's not very good at math!" Sheffield shrugged. "Talk about the Mellon family's aluminum products industry and see if there's a good way to get it."
"A friend who is not good at math?" Louisa Morgan looked at Sheffield in confusion, and the latter nodded solemnly, "He is indeed not good at math. If all citizens were like him, our lives would be much easier."
Sheffield somewhat slandered the level of the director of the Alliance Investigation Bureau, but it is still very appropriate when applied to ordinary people.
When real estate businessmen launched a trade war in the future, netizens in the United States were ecstatic, believing that this would cause hundreds of companies to leave the Republic. When many foreign newspapers report on the Republic’s poverty alleviation achievements, they often report that millions of people have escaped poverty over the past few decades!
Maybe these people think that 100 is a very large unit, but as a country that is not small, the number of its enterprises is calculated based on 100,000. Hundreds of companies is really a number that cannot be any smaller! And the poverty alleviation of millions of people is not a number that can be proud of even in a big country with a lot of influence.
Most people's math skills are at this level, and only citizens at this level can make the slave owner feel at ease. He has been working hard for this goal.
With the latest instructions from the owner of the largest media group in the United States, major newspapers are gearing up for the battle after the Department of Justice announced that it would launch an antitrust investigation into Mellon Corporation.
All newspapers began to attack the Mellon family in unison. In the aluminum products industry, the Mellon family undoubtedly belonged to the category of trust enterprises, and anyone with eyes knew it.
Many newspapers, speaking in the voice of the citizen class, said, "We thought antitrust was gone from the legal system. It seems that it is just looking for more worthy targets."
Manipulating public opinion, the Ministry of Justice launching an investigation, and finally the Supreme Court conducting a trial, Sheffield is already familiar with this package. He was once troubled by this package, but now seeing others enjoying the package, it feels pretty good.
"Even if it goes to the Supreme Court, Andrew Mellon has always had deep connections in the political world, so there is a chance of resistance." Louisa, who was walking with Sheffield, said, "Can he achieve his goal?"
"During President Alton's term, two Supreme Court judges resigned. I know the two new judges. They are standard Democratic conservatives. Besides, he is not the one with deep political connections. Don't I have deep political connections too? The FBI director who investigated him grew up with me." Sheffield said nonchalantly, "It all depends on the feedback from the stock market today. Capital doesn't lie. The share price of the Aluminum Trust will tell me whether the market has confidence in this lawsuit."
As Sheffield was speaking, the share price of Mellon Aluminum was falling like an avalanche on the New York Stock Exchange. This was all the more frightening because the Democratic government rarely used antitrust laws.
The last time they started a war, they uprooted the DuPont family, which had been in the gunpowder industry for nearly a hundred years. Although the Democratic federal government did not take many actions, its methods were more severe.
Many stockholders believed that the Mellon family was doomed this time, and sold their stocks to protect their property. As for Sheffield himself, he was studying with the FBI director, who he grew up with, how to create a superior competitive environment for the citizens of the United States.
"Everyone knows that the Mellon family's checks filled the pockets of many Republicans. This dirty thing didn't change until the Democrats came to power. There are many large companies that are friendly with the Republicans. The Morgan and Rockefeller families also have good relations with the Republicans, but I am probably the only one who is so deeply involved in politics like Andrew Mellon." Sheffield spoke into the microphone. "In fact, if the Department of Justice wants to reduce possible pressure, it can send a signal to give Rockefeller Jr. and Morgan Jr. a heads up. By the way, don't say it's my suggestion. The relationship between United Company and them is quite complicated."
Since they knew that the Mellon family had cheated the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family, and that the Mellon family did not follow Sheffield's example and sacrificed their bodies to serve important members of the two families, then what Sheffield should do now is to unite the representatives of industrial capital and financial capital and find a way to establish a united front.
"Let's not talk about your influence. Will the two of them have doubts about this? How can we get Standard Oil and Morgan Alliance to stand on the side of the Ministry of Justice?" Konstantinovich had little confidence. The positions of these big companies were consistent, and it was very likely that they would unite to fight against the Ministry of Justice.
Sheffield chuckled. Did the FBI director know about the unity of monopoly capitalists? He seemed to have grown up a lot, but he still explained, "We businessmen are only trying to make money. As long as we don't lose money, all the hatred will be forgotten sooner or later. But I don't remember the Mellon family compensating the Morgan and Rockefeller families afterwards."
Monopoly capitalists will not merge among themselves? This is a mistake. Monopoly capitalists just won’t give in to the lower classes, so they can certainly merge with each other.
The director of the FBI does not fully understand this. It is like the United States must promote democracy to the world in the future. Is it because democracy is the best system in the world? The citizens may think so because they grew up with this kind of education.
The top level of the United States is the driving force behind the system being promoted throughout the world. Sheffield understands the reason for promoting electoral democracy throughout the world, and that is because no one knows better than the top level of the United States how bad this system is for a country.
It is because it is rotten that we have to spare no effort to promote it. If it is not rotten, people will learn it by themselves, and there is no need to promote democracy. The reason why this rotten system must be promoted to the whole world is that the slave owners think that it is because the basic conditions of the United States are better than almost all countries. When everyone is in a rotten system, the United States is undoubtedly the strongest country, and no country will surpass the United States.
In essence, the top leaders of the United States hope that the whole world will be a worse place. In such a world, there will be no more challengers like the Soviet Union and the Republic.
Konstantinovich was shocked. Where was the unbreakable solidarity between the monopoly capitalists? It turned out that this unbreakable solidarity only appeared when they were fighting against the government and citizens, but not when they were coveting each other's industries?
"Of course!" Sheffield gave an affirmative answer. The right of interpretation also belonged to them. Whatever he said was what it was. As long as the Ministry of Justice sent a signal, they didn't believe that Morgan Jr. and Rockefeller Jr. would not be tempted.
The three companies splitting DuPont has happened before, didn't Konstantinovich say that? That was a $150 million company, and it was only part of the Mellon family's assets.
It is the instinct of monopoly capitalists to take advantage of others' misfortune. Slave owners have done this more than once. What's more, Standard Oil and Morgan Alliance have been experienced in the business world for a long time. They have lost countless opponents to them.
The Department of Justice's lawsuit against Mellon Corporation immediately attracted the attention of J.P. Morgan and J.D. Rockefeller. The two were not interested in why this happened, but were interested in the final outcome.
Morgan Jr. was happy to see the troubles encountered by the Mellon family. He had not forgotten the coal cartel, which was preempted by Andrew Mellon. In the end, he had to buy the related industries from the Mellon family at a high price.
Little Morgan gets furious every time he thinks about spending a huge amount of money and having to thank the other party with a smile.
Today's gossip news also published the past events of the Morgan family and the Mellon family. This report was published not long after old Morgan passed away. It can be said that it was full of malice.
Even Sheffield didn't dare to let his newspaper report it. If Morgan found out, he would be in big trouble.
"No bank or credit company can lend money to Mellon Grand Union!" Morgan Jr. quickly ordered the manager in front of him, "Notify all alliance companies of this matter immediately, and all alliance companies take action at the same time."
The huge Morgan Alliance system was immediately reported to representatives of various companies because of Morgan Jr.'s words. The Mellon family's companies were assessed as dangerous by the New York Stock Exchange.
"My brother-in-law's move is really extraordinary. He used a killing move right from the start." Sheffield was also shocked by Morgan's viciousness. He said to Louisa Morgan with some fear, "Your brother doesn't seem to be easy to mess with."
