Fantasy castle.
On Christmas Eve, a grand ball is going on.
The whole castle is in a laughter of joy, and countless food and drinks are served on the dining tables in the main hall of the castle.
The children, led by Aiden and Mason, traveled through the castle’s roads and ‘dark rooms’ on every corner, looking for possible surprises and treasures.
This castle has become a new place for children to explore, with new discoveries every second.
The heavyweight guests that night made the paparazzi who were standing opposite the end of Highway 1 shouting ‘addiction. ’
The camera in his hand never stopped from the moment it was turned on.
This Christmas Eve, it can be said that the influential figures of the political and business circles in the east and west of the United States are almost all together.
Unfortunately, this gathering will not be publicized, and even the Los Angeles News Group interview team has not been qualified to enter.
In the main hall, Li Zitao greeted many visitors with champagne.
Everyone who appears tonight needs him to intervene personally. No one can pull down. Mary also holds his arm and toasts the guests as the hostess.
After a turn, the Christmas ball was officially started.
The women spread out spontaneously, forming circles of different sizes to talk to each other.
The men also formed different circles, discussing the current situation and business.
There are also topics that will never be absent, women and war.
"Ethiopia has been won by the Italians, I believe they will soon send more forces to join the Spanish Civil War,
The little man on the east side got more, Munich... The Sudetende event has greatly damaged the strength of the Czech Republic. I think Europe will soon have a new war. "
The sixty-year-old rubber king, Harvey Firestone, and old friends gathered together to tell him his judgment of the current situation and speculation about the future.
"That's the European's business. The United States shouldn't be involved. Isn't the lesson we learned from the war enough?"
Alfred Dupont, known as one of DuPont's three giants, somehow began to become a staunch anti-war fighter.
"I agree with Irene that the United States should not be persecuted again by the war and let the Europeans solve their problems themselves."
John Rockefeller, who has rarely appeared, is also present in person, along with his successor David Rockefeller.
"The little man in the east is a terrible ambitionist, his appetite will grow bigger and bigger, and the British and the French will be teased by him like two dumb chickens.
I agree with Mr. President that the United States will not take the initiative to participate in the war, but we must be prepared to join the war at all times,
There will never be innocent people in the war, gentlemen, don’t forget that there are also our interests there, and the Far East... Does anyone want to give up? "
Andrew Mellon's speech was very clear, who can give up the benefits in his hands.
They are not interested in fighting, but if it comes to interests, it is about everyone present.
John Rockefeller Jr. frowned and was not very satisfied with his family's speech.
War money is easy to make, but it also leaves a lot of handle, which can easily lead to public criticism and protest.
Besides, whether it is war or peace, oil sales will not be affected in any way.
Even if they comply with the League of Nations sanctions and the United States’ ‘neutral bill,’ they still have a large number of customer groups to choose from.
Rockefeller has only one, not everyone has a choice.
"Gentlemen, you shouldn't waste your time here... there are many ladies waiting for the invitation, the ball has already begun."
There was little John, and Li Zitao did not want to have any disputes with the other party, and diverted the topic and pointed at the lady circle not far away and laughed.
It’s time to enjoy Christmas Eve. As for war and peace, everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, and they will naturally measure the gains and losses.
"Charlie, are you optimistic about the Mitsui Club in Japan?" The gentlemen came to invite their wife and female companions into the ballroom, and little John stayed.
"A little business, but Japan's big customer of Mobil." Li Zitao smiled and pointed to the girl surrounded by a group of young people not far away: "Is Beth having a sweetheart? The boys are about to be stunned by her." ."
John, who wanted to say something, said when he heard his daughter mentioning it, he frowned and had a headache; "This girl is not at all worried. She should find someone to control her."
Beth L. Rockefeller, John's youngest daughter, is also his pearl.
Just 17 years old this year, is the time when youth blooms, young and beautiful, family background, plus his versatility, naturally sought after by the upper class society.
However, she has no interest in marrying or marrying into the giants.
Every day he tried his best to fight against his father and his brothers. As a feminist fighter, she often participated in various protest gatherings anonymously, which caused John a headache.
To this end, John had to send her to the Royal Boarding School in England, wanting to let her accept her temperament, this is her first appearance after returning to the United States.
Just looking at John's expression, it seems that the boarding school's profit is not great.
"You should try to let go. Do you, me, Mellon, and Rockefeller still need to marry a woman? Uncle John, you can't be too greedy as a man~EbookFREE.me~ Li Zitao is quite supportive of this little girl At that time, not every woman has this determination to live with her own ideas.
"Charlie, what are you talking about?" Andrew Mellon and Harvey Firestone walked together, looking at their expressions to say something.
"I'm talking about children's education. Soon, I should have a headache like Uncle John." Everyone present knew that he had a daughter, he was very fond of him, and he had been to the castle.
With their energy, if there is no such news channel, they would have been sold to count the money.
"Charlie, is there anything you need to help with the agreement between you and Washington?" Andrew went straight in and pointed out their purpose, Morocco.
"My people have not officially accepted it, do you have any ideas?" Li Zitao asked back.
There is nothing wrong with making money, but you have to find a way to make the cake bigger, instead of sharing a portion of the cake made by Li Zitao.
"I heard that the Dakhla area is very suitable for the cultivation industry. Maybe where should I buy some land to expand the supply of raw materials."
Harvey is a dedicated person, and his focus is still on his rubber industry.
"The weather in Morocco is very good, there are a lot of beautiful scenery, I have been to it once a few years ago, and I still remember...how, are you interested?"
Andrew focused his attention on the tourism industry, and the Hawaii and Vegas models allowed him to see the potential of the tourism industry.
This is a ‘Golden Mountain’ waiting to be mined, but the investment risk in the early stage is extremely high, especially in the current situation.
Once the war expands, his investment may be lost.
Therefore, Andrew wants to hear the suggestion of "Good Luck Charlie", it is best to bring him and John together, this will make him more at ease.
