Chapter 813: Aid to China

The reception on Christmas Eve went well.
The famous circus and ballet dancers from the Bolshoi Theatre specially invited at the reception this time mobilized the atmosphere of the scene.
The beauty of the Soviet Union has made the eyes of the wealthy who are outside of the United States open their eyes, and when it comes to an end, they do not know how to reach a few more businesses.
What impressed Li Zitao at the scene was Ulanova who had enjoyed his performance at the Chicago Opera House.
Compared to a few years ago, she looks thinner, her delicate appearance is still dazzling, her behavior is soft and elegant, as if the artistic atmosphere is integrated into every part of her body.
When someone communicates with her, she will keep quiet and stare at each other, making people feel sincere and respectful.
Out of appreciation, Li Zitao asked after the dance to invite her and the members of the ballet to stay in Chicago for a while.
He will invite the members of the dance troupe to perform another grand performance at the Chicago Opera House, so that American citizens can feel the charm from the Far East.
The next day, Li Zitao was having breakfast with his family.
"Boss, Mr. Secus Samuel has arrived." Shirayuki leaned over and finished speaking in his ear, raised his head, and nodded and smiled at Mary.
When the concubine saw the woman, she felt instinctively scared, and she couldn't tell why, but she didn't dare to face Mary directly.
"Well." Put the last ham sandwich in his mouth into his mouth. After chewing and swallowing, Li Zitao drank the juice and wiped his mouth, exclaiming; "Today's ham is good, is it from the farm?"
"It's a new variety of Asa Farm, the best part." Mary also likes the taste of ham today, and it tastes very delicious.
"Use this in the future." Li Fangdi said beside him, and Li Zitao then followed Bai Xue to the meeting room.
Because of physical reasons, the old Hogg is sharing his work with a part of France, like a relatively simple and casual family dinner, daily cleaning work, etc.
In the parlor, Sekus looked at the decoration and placed antiques and artworks in the room.
For the wealth of the Li family, the two days of personal experience gave him a more direct judgment.
This is a wealthy family. How rich is it?
Even he, a rich man from England, feels extremely for his wealth.
The surname of Samuel is not a small person in Britain, his father is the founder of Royal Petroleum.
In the early 1990s, Royal Petroleum merged with the once brilliant Shell Group, and in 1911 merged with Caspian and Black Sea Petroleum to become Royal Shell today.
For a long time, Dutch Shell has been in the hands of the Samuel family. Its family is an important member of the board of directors and firmly controls the largest oil company in Europe.

The sound of the spring was very clear in a quiet environment. Sekus stood up while looking back, and saw Li Zitao coming.
Both parties greeted for a while, and the servants brought refreshments after each seated.
"Li, I'm so glad you took the time. Although we have been working together for a long time, we have never seen it. This has always been a regrettable place for me."
Sekus showed great enthusiasm, playing emotional cards as soon as he came up, and wanted to get close to Li Zitao.
"The European heritage of the Samuel family is enviable, and even Rothschild has to pay tribute to it, and today's acquaintance is equally honorable to me."
In front of meeting with Sekus, Li Zitao did some homework. In the middle of the last century, his family had a deep relationship with the Rothschild family.
In the early 1980s, Sekous's father also received a considerable amount of money from Rothschild to establish the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company.
Later, the merger plan for Shell Group and other oil companies also had the shadow of Rothschild, and the two could be called the turn of the century.
With a good opening, the atmosphere of the following conversation was relaxed and pleasant. Sekus talked about the anecdotes of his student years and what he had learned while traveling in various countries.
In the past few years, Li Zitao has also visited many places. Hearing the humanities in the Mediterranean, South Africa, and European countries, he can say a few words.
The chat ended with a hearty laugh, and Li Zitao had to admit that his impression of Sekus had greatly improved, and the relationship between the two had also progressed rapidly.
Perhaps feeling the time was right, Sekus began talking about the business.
The fact that Mobil's crude oil supply order to Dutch Shell could not be fulfilled normally has seriously affected the company's original future development plan.
"Charlie, if you lose those crude oil, Shell has to change its development plan for the next 6-18 months,
I think you can understand the troubles and possible losses...the cooperation between us started 3 years ago and the progress is very smooth,
Mobil and Shell cooperate in a tacit agreement. Both North America and Europe are under our control. If we give up now, our previous efforts will be in vain. "
Sekus spoke in a low, gentle tone, and whenever he talked about the key points, he increased his tone and showed a serious look.
"Secus, this is the decision of the board~EbookFREE.me~ is not my decision." Li Zitao said with a smile.
"But I heard that in Washington when you formulated the assistance plan for the Far East, you provided many useful suggestions." Secus also has his own source of information.
Don't look at the Samuel family as far away as Britain, but their news in the United States is not blocked at all, but it is even better than some big families.
Regarding Washington's aid plan for the Far East, the chief responsible for making the plan is Secretary of State, Cordel Hull.
The rest were Roosevelt’s senior advisers, members of the Washington Think Tank, and also consulted the opinions of Finance Minister Morgan Saw and senior military generals.
It seems that there is no such thing as Li Zitao, but he was one of the senior private advisers of Secretary of State Hull during the formulation of the plan.
Not only in terms of planning, it is said that Washington’s first aid to the Far East was not as high as it was before.
But the Chinese super-rich, out of pocket to sponsor $15 million in military supplies and $50 million in loans.
Only then did we have 60 million in material assistance and 100 million US dollars in loan support.
Sekus knew this, and Li Zitao was not surprised.
In fact, he did not deliberately hide it. Many people in the United States knew this, but no one attacked him.
Because from beginning to end, Li Zitao was invited by the Secretary of State.
The aid plan for the Far East was made by President Roosevelt, and all he did was contribute to his hometown.
But his personal sponsorship of $65 million was still a bit surprising, and at the same time he was jealous of his cash reserves.
The $65 million in cash is not a small amount for Secus.
The value is never equal to cash, the richer the person understands the truth, not to mention this is his private behavior.
