"Time is really fast." Guests gathered in the Ballroom of Fantasy Castle.
From the dozens of people who initially participated in the "Dinner", to the present one ticket is hard to come by, and an invitation was fired on the black market for nearly tens of thousands of dollars.
The Christmas dinner at Fantasy Castle has become one of the top social events in the United States every year.
The big people who can only'see' in newspapers and radios usually appear here one by one.
"If there is a stone falling now, do you say it will hit a millionaire or a multimillionaire?" Jonathan asked in a boring manner while standing in the hallway of the second floor.
"I think it's more accurate to be a billionaire." Li Zitao pointed to Paul Mellon waving to the two under the corridor.
"I think it's better to put the stones away." Jonathan shrugged helplessly, throwing away the'stones' rolled into a table cloth in his hand. ’
The Astor family and the Mellon family, although they belong to the top rich family, the two are not very familiar.
Moreover, Paul's age is much older than them, and it is a bit rude to make such a joke with the other party.
"It's really difficult to be a decision maker." Jonathan said somewhat disappointed.
Since becoming Astor V, he is no longer the former Jonathan. Whether at home or outside, he must always pay attention to his words and deeds.
Only in front of Lawrence and Charlie can we relax slightly, which also makes the relationship between them stronger and stronger.
"Charlie, it turns out you are here." The two were looking at the various forms of beings below, and Marshall, who was proud of the spring wind, came from behind.
"Today is too busy, I need to find a place to have a drink." Li Zitao said holding the vodka in the glass.
"Give me a glass too. I've had enough of these mouthwashes." The champagne in his hand was given to the waiter, who quickly replaced Marshall with vodka.
"Have you heard?" Marshall asked, lying on the railing.
"What?" Li Zitao didn't respond for a while. What did you hear?
"The Japanese bombing fleet was discovered by the patrol boat, and the Astor was seriously damaged and could not return safely.
We have to choose to blow it up in the deep sea, because it must not fall into the hands of the Japanese... that is a shame. "
The last two words, Michelle suffocated, groaned in his throat, and his raised chest seemed to represent his anger.
The loss of the Astor is like a heartbreaking pain for the military.
That's what they spent in real money, just obtained from Mobil, and, in accordance with the agreement between the two parties.
Once damaged during the war, Washington will pay for this and compensate large sums of compensation.
"It's a sad story." Li Zitao said with a smile.
"Come on!" Michelle pointed at him angrily and scolded: "Couldn't you just be perfunctory?"
Li Zitao's expression can't see the meaning of "sadness".
"Okay!" Li Zitao said with a serious face, "I hope that the compensation for Washington will be in place as soon as possible."
"You bastard." Michelle raised her fist and hammered him on the shoulder.
This was not the answer he wanted, but the reason why he took the initiative to find Li Zitao.
The days in Washington have not been easy!
It's not that they want to get rid of this account, let alone they won't do it.
If all kinds of support for Washington during the war were deceived and denied, Roosevelt should prepare his resignation speech.
However, during the recent period, Washington has successively provided huge amounts of financial assistance to the Soviet Union, China, and European countries led by the United Kingdom.
Even if the Fed turns on the machine, even the printing of money on the shaft can't keep up with the rate at which Washington spends money.
However, these aids are necessary and will bring practical benefits and international influence to the United States.
Therefore, regarding the issue of compensation for the Astor, Washington would like to discuss it after the war.
"My Excellency Chief of Staff, so it is difficult for me to explain to the board of directors." Li Zitao said a little embarrassedly when he heard the other party's intention.
After drinking, Michelle sighed relaxedly and said, "Of course I know, Charlie... no one is easy in this war."
Putting his hand on his shoulder, Michelle looked at him sincerely, "Allies can't fail, Charlie...we must all believe this and work hard to achieve it."
"You are the Chief of the Army Staff. It is said that the number of soldiers recruited has reached 2 million...Can't they send someone else?"
"I think they are afraid that you will refuse, not everyone is like you and me." Michelle reached out and pointed between the two.
The person who didn't know what he saw saw how intimate they were.
"I need to communicate with the board of directors before I can give you an answer. That's not a small amount." How can the tens of millions of dollars involved be small?
Even if Michelle, the army chief of staff, personally serves as a lobbyist, it can’t be erased in one sentence.
"Of course, I'm waiting for your good news." Michelle toasted.
...
Looking at the back of Michelle's departure~EbookFREE.me~ has been serving as the background wall, Jonathan smiled without interruption; "What are you going to do?"
"Of course it was pushed on you." Li Zitao said naturally.
"What?" Jonathan was a little confused. Does this matter have anything to do with me?
"Don't you say that if it sinks, will you buy it back?" Li Zitao said in an unusual tone: "Now it's yours."
"How much?" Jonathan understood a little.
"As you think, pay with compensation, now it is your problem." Li Zitao looked at him pretentiously.
"You know, my salary is high." Jonathan said intentionally.
"One tenth." As a man with identity, how could he do white P.
"Enough is enough." Jonathan readily accepted, but frowned: "The situation in Washington is indeed as he said. It is not easy to get money."
"Then give it a suitable interest rate, isn't that what you are good at?" Li Zitao also feels that it is impossible to get the money back now.
Washington now wants to break a penny in half, where there is still money to pay for the compensation of the Astor.
However, the interest due on the arrears should still be paid.
This wicked person would make Jonathan do the right thing. Anyway, he can get a big head anyway, and he doesn't have to face Roosevelt's endless complaints.
As one of the Big Three, Li Zitao never thought that he would be nagging about a thing like a woman.
Li Zitao has experienced this kind of experience many times, and now it’s time for him to replace him.
At this time, Jonathan did not yet know what kind of hobbies the great President had, and he was still bowing his head to think about how to make Washington agree to their conditions.
