The Hudson River, more than 40 kilometers north of New York, has beautiful scenery here, and many wealthy people build manors here as vacation places. The most famous local is the family manor built by the old Rockefeller.

This 4,000-acre lavishly huge manor is brightly lit today as if a banquet is going to be held. The courteous guests were talking in twos and threes, and the servants shuttled among them.

As the owner of the manor, Jr. Rockefeller personally greeted a distinguished guest in front of the main building.

"It is a great honor for King Edel to be a guest at Rockefeller Manor."

Little Rockefeller greeted Edel and his party in a dress.

"Thank you for your hospitality, it's a pleasure to meet you all."

Edel smiled and greeted Rockefeller Jr. and the friends he invited.

As the top two families in the United States, the famous Rockefeller family not only has oil and related industries in the United States, but also plays an important role in various economic sectors such as metallurgy, chemistry, rubber, automobiles, food, air transportation, telecommunications, and the arms industry. status. It can be said that the Rockefeller family has penetrated into thousands of households in the United States.

The Rockefeller family can also help Edel with the issuance of government bonds that he needs. The famous New York Stock Exchange is also currently controlled by it. Although Mobil Oil, the core company of its family, has encountered the split of anti-monopoly law, it cannot stop the Rockefeller family's current status in the United States.

"His Majesty's speech in Congress was very good. The United States and Romania really need further cooperation. The United States should not ignore the changes in European countries."

It can be seen that Rockefeller Jr. has a deep resentment for the current American isolationism. No way, as the core family business Standard Oil needs the vast Asian, African and European markets. At present, the isolationism of the United States has affected the development of Standard Oil. Watching the market being seized by other companies, how can this not make others feel resentful.

However, unlike before the outbreak of World War I, the consortia intervened recklessly in the government, and now their interference with the government is much more covert. After all, the civilians have just worked hard in World War I, and it is somewhat unlikely to encourage them to help expand other markets. After all, I didn't win the two old winners of Britain and France in Versailles before.

Facing the words of Rockefeller Jr., Edel responded. "This requires the joint promotion of the two countries, which is also beneficial to the two peoples."

Rockefeller Jr also sighed,

Even the Germans did not get down on the two vested interests of Britain and France, and the Americans themselves could not do anything about it because they were separated by the Atlantic Ocean. And the bravery of the Americans is also well-known.

However, Eder also learned from the mouth of Rockefeller Jr. that the current US consortium was dissatisfied with the British and French control of the European order. Of course, it is not ruled out that Rockefeller Jr. deliberately told him to listen to him, but friendship with the United States is also one of the purposes of his visit.

After a few conversations with Edel Jr., Rockefeller led him to an old man with a grizzled beard and introduced him.

"This is Mr. Richard Mellon."

"Hello, Mr. Mellon."

"Hello, Your Majesty the King."

Although Edel had never met the old man, he had already known him from American sources.

Unlike his brother Andrew Mellon, who served three terms as Treasury secretary, Richard Mellon is primarily responsible for running the family business. As the Mellon consortium that monopolizes the U.S. lead industry, it is currently developing well in steel and oil. In addition to participating in and controlling the four major steel companies (Amco Steel Company (jointly controlled with the Rockefeller Consortium and Cleveland Consortium), National Steel Corporation (jointly controlled with the Cleveland Consortium) and Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Company, Allegheny- Ludlum Industries), Gulf Oil is also the backbone of the family.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Our country also has a lot of lead resources. If you are interested, you can invest in Romania."

Edel's words made the sixtieth old man's eyes light up, and replied with a serious expression. "Thank you for your kind invitation. The American Lead Company will definitely send someone to inspect your country's investment environment and hope to cooperate with your country."

"Then I'll wait for good news."

Edel got to know many American capitalists under the introduction of Jr. Rockefeller. Such as the McCormick family who sold harvesters, the Lawrence family who sold textiles, and so on. These families are basically allies of Rockefeller. Take the McCormick family as an example, the younger Rockefeller's sister is married to it.

Of course, meeting these allies who were close to the Rockefeller family was not the main purpose of Edel's visit to the manor this time. After getting to know these people one by one, Edel, led by Little Rockefeller, came to a room on the second floor. Because here is a legend he needs to visit, the father of Jr. Rockefeller, John D. Rockefeller.

"I'm sorry, I'm not in good health to welcome His Majesty the King in person."

The old Rockefeller, who slowly got up from the reclining chair, stood up apologetically and told Edel why he didn't greet him in person.

"It doesn't matter, respecting the elders is the basic quality of every gentleman. And your fortune is legendary. As a junior, I should visit in person."

And Edel's words really came from the heart. Whether it is in the past or the present, its legendary experience is familiar to everyone. Being able to become the richest man in the world from a poor person is not something that can be summed up in the word legend.

He is only occupying the memory of later generations and the reasons for his origin, which allows him to have a place in this world. Sometimes Edel wonders if he could leave his mark in this world if he hadn't been the only son of Carol I.

After thinking about it again and again, Edel can only helplessly find that it does not affect the development of the world. At most he can live a richer life. If you come from a poor family, you are likely to be rushing to make a living every day. The historical development that he knows can't seek benefits for himself. In this era, he can't even gather the first pot of gold to make a fortune. Because sometimes a good idea does not bring benefits, but may be the source of disaster.

Therefore, for the old Rockefeller, who became the world's richest man by himself, Edel respected from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, the conversation with the old Rockefeller will not involve specific interests, because this is a small Rockefeller matter, and the meeting with the old Rockefeller is more of a ceremonial visit. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the conversation, which also makes the two of them enjoy the conversation as the guest of honor.

After the conversation with the old Rockefeller was over, Edel calmed down, and the next thing was the beginning.
