Chapter 449: Underground vault

The villa seemed like a battle fortress underneath. This was something Sheffield hadn't thought of. Annabel walked down the stairs slowly with her cane. She couldn't reach her fingers, but her hand was pressed directly to the position of the switch. , Much larger than Sheffield imagined.
"It's hard to imagine that there is such a place in the house!" Sheffield followed behind exclaimed, "This is not a small project, even unexpectedly appeared."
"It's not that difficult!" Annabel said slowly, without a look back. "This underground fortress was built in accordance with the cellar where our slaves are holding black slaves. Of course, you haven't seen it. Your grandfather compares this person Soft-hearted, I had thought about how to keep it secret during construction. This matter was still resolved by me. After the construction of the black slaves was completed, it was enough to kill them. From 1856 to the present, no one knew it. "
In 1856, this underground fortress had been in existence for fifty years. While talking, Annabel kept changing keys and embarked on a strange route, which made Sheffield hard to imagine the size of the basement. The area may be discovered one day, and if there is something really good, it is better to be unknown. "
"It makes sense!" Annabel opened the last door, motioning Sheffield to push up and stand on her side. "When it started, it was digging a twenty-two foot base, using granite for the foundation, and then With six feet of molten iron, we are now about twelve feet above the ground, using 1,800 tons of molten iron. "
The last iron gate was pushed open. Sheffield felt a blinding dog's eyes. Is all of this gold right now?
Annabel was not surprised. She came out from behind the heir and went straight in. At the same time, she was eight meters away. She turned around and asked lightly, "How is it? Do you have any confidence? Do you want to kill me and inherit this directly?" Pen wealth idea. "
"Grandma, I have a basic conscience." Sheffield smiled bitterly. "I was just wondering if the eyes would be deceiving. This is beyond my imagination."
After all, Sheffield went up and touched a gold brick with a gold seal on it, in 1872! This is where gold from different generations is gathered here, just don't know how much. The fact that gold is made into gold bricks does not take up much space and does not require a large vault. But even in this case, the scene in front is shocking enough.
"The marriage between your grandfather and me is a strong alliance, although it is a two-person relationship, but it also has to do with his being the fastest growing plantation owner. Before the civil war, the two of us were the real richest people in the United States." Anna Bell fell into his memories of the past and said, "In 1854, he suddenly wanted to take the slave hunter to India, which conflicted with the African business, but he had to insist, I can only let him Go. He gave me the biggest surprise in my life when he came back. We chose Arlington as our new home. This is the origin of this manor. "
A flash of light flashed in Sheffield's head. He remembered the news about the treasures of the Golden Temple in India. There was no gold that melted into the bricks, and only a small part of it was occupied. He calmly said, "It seems that it is just the beginning. "
"Your grandfather said before death that the value of gold will not change for a hundred years. I am an obedient wife." Annabel sighed, "I will take part of the profit every year for exchange Gold, whether it is an economic boom or a recession, will not change. This is true every year, and Venezuela ’s gold is also here. A total of 7.8 million ounces in fifty years. "
Sheffield couldn't help scratching her scalp, it didn't mean anything, it was just a little itchy, but it also showed that she was not dreaming.
After reading it, Annabel took out another bunch of keys and walked back from a passage that was not the original road. While walking, "The road that just came is inaccessible. There are two different strings in and out. The key. Now let's talk officially, you have restored the glory of the family. "
Following Galeries Lafayette's return to the villa, Sheffield still seemed to be in a dream. He sat silent for a long time. He felt that there was nothing now, which was more important than a calm mood.
Annabel did not care at all, showed good patience, and finally waited until the heirs said, "Our country's production model will have problems every once in a while."
"Oh, the cyclical economic crisis!" Annabel nodded and added, "The first time I heard this vocabulary was also told by your grandfather, but I don't understand this kind of thing. It seems that you found the fluctuations in it and felt it. The danger is coming. "
"Yes grandmother, the domestic economy is overheating now, and the profit rate of trust companies is only 5%. Many trust companies are borrowing and expanding, and they are all using the funds raised. There is any turmoil. It will cause a chain reaction, and I believe that there will be problems at the end of next year at the latest. "After Sheffield's underground vault, she bowed her head down on money decisively and said that she knew about the crisis.
"You can use all the funds controlled by the entire company. If it is not enough, I will help." Annabel nodded clearly. "You have been collecting funds for almost a year, and you are not less advanced than you. Anyone. Of course it may be a bit worse than the Rockefeller family. But it involves so many industries, and the ability to protect each other against risks is definitely stronger than other companies. Is the opponent a trust company? The cash flow of 60 million seems to be bad. Deal with. "
"57 million cash flow left, before I come back ..." Sheffield said about the other party's acquisition of the copper mine, which made Annabel's eyes bright and laughed, "It seems that since Morgan established the American Steel Company , These bankers can't stand it anymore, do they think industrial companies are doing well? "
Lafayette's response is the same as Sheffield's, and they think these bankers think the problem is too simple. Of course, this can't be said, it can only be said that greed has overcome everything.
Annabel disagreed with this point and sighed, "It's actually not as good as the Black Gold company when it's the best time to make money."
"Yes!" Sheffield bowed his head decisively. "Now the black people in the country should thank our family for letting them come to this country and still play their role."
If you have money, what you say is reasonable. Sheffield did not dare to say one more word, and then analyzed the situation once the economic crisis came from a very neutral and objective angle, "Even if the crisis starts from the financial industry, it will eventually be transmitted to the real industry. Once the panic spreads, who has Whoever is cash is the savior, and many high-quality assets will be reduced to no one's attention after the stock market crash. This is a good opportunity for the joint company to expand. "
"For a long time, the financial industry has been a shortcoming of the United Company. We can't enter the financial circle of New York. We can only take root from the Great West to avoid competition with New York bankers. But although the Great West does not have a strong bank, it is too much. The chaotic competition is also not the best environment. If this time the joint company can seize this opportunity. The banks in the Great West will surely be sorrowful, and the gap in the financial industry will also have gaps. New York is not unshakable. . I mean, lying on many corpses to absorb nutrients and complement the last short board of the United Company. "
"Then do it! There should be no firmer company in the country than us." Annabel nodded indifferently and picked up the phone. "Padra, it's time to sweep the grave."
For Blair, it was not easy to be found, especially the person who came to the door, or the original competitor who stood under the company, but he could only come to Arlington with his heart. Appeared in Arlington Manor.
It took a long time for Sheffield to come back from the outside, with a beautiful young woman and a baby in her arms. Brian saw this scene and thought that these are the two protagonists of the United States Century Wedding.
"A guest came, and I took my son up!" Anne smiled politely at Blair and took her baby son upstairs, leaving the living room for her husband and the guests.
"Hello Mr. Blair, the original director of Nick Burke Trust & Investment? Have you just voluntarily quit?" Sheffield offered to greet an old friend who hadn't seen him in years. "The New York Mets are really a place where talent gathers. It ’s surprising that even Mr. Blair ca n’t find a job, but if it ’s not, how can it fall into my sight?

"Mr. William misunderstood, I just wanted to take a break." Blair shook his head, indicating that this was not the case.
"There is no misunderstanding, a bunch of idiots always can't accommodate people who are smarter than myself. Even I have to sometimes pretend to be stupid, who makes stupid people the true level of most people!" Sheffield gestured to sit down, slightly With a humble way, "Please forgive me for speaking directly, people say that I am honest William. Too honest, I do n’t know how many people have offended. Fortunately, the offense is that I ca n’t reach my knees, or it ’s quite Trouble? "
Who made the slave owner just fill up the honesty from the Galeries Lafayette, and do n’t talk nonsense directly, and said, "Union Bank has always lacked such talents. Now I sincerely invite you to join. I hope Mr. Blair will consider it."
"Mr. William, are you?" Blair said hesitantly, discovering the actions of Nick Burke Trust and Investment? Sheffield nodded directly, "Yes, I like this kind of friendly competition the most, is there any problem? Do you want to prove them wrong? Especially the current controller Mike, oh god, I heard that he and Like Morgan, he is an arrogant person who is almost catching up with me. "
"The same is arrogant, but Mr. William is surprisingly frank." Blair smiled bitterly, "Well, I can try."
