Chapter 872

"Time flies." The banquet hall of dream castle is full of guests.

From the beginning, only a few dozen people attended the dinner party, but now it's hard to get a ticket. An invitation card is worth nearly 10000 dollars on the black market.

The Christmas dinner at Neverland castle has become one of the top social events in America every year.

Usually only in newspapers and radio can "see" the big people, one by one appear here.

"If a stone falls down now, do you think it will hit millionaires or multimillionaires?" Standing in the hallway on the second floor, Jonathan asked with some boredom.

"I think it's more accurate to be a billionaire." Li pointed to Paul Mellon, who waved to the two people down the corridor.

"I think it's better to put away the stones." Jonathan shrugged his shoulders helplessly and threw away the "stone" rolled up from his dinner cloth

Although the Astor family and the Mellon family belong to the top rich families, they are not very familiar with each other.

Besides, Paul was much older than they were, and it was a bit rude to play such a joke on each other.

"It's really hard to be a decision maker." Jonathan said a little lost.

Since becoming Astor V, he is no longer the former Jonathan, whether at home or outside, every word and action must be paid attention to.

It's only in front of Lawrence and Charlie that they can relax a little, which makes their relationship stronger and stronger.

"Charlie, you're here." They were looking at the people below, and Marshall came from behind.

"It's too busy today. I need to find a place to have a drink." Li said, holding up the vodka in his glass.

"Give me one too. I'm fed up with these mouthwashes." Give the champagne to the waiter, who will quickly change to vodka for Marshall.

"Did you hear that?" Marshall asked, leaning over the railing.

"What?" Li Zitao didn't respond for a moment. What did you hear?

"The fleet that bombed Japan was found by patrol boats. The Astor was seriously damaged and could not return safely.

we had to choose to bomb it in the deep sea because it could never fall into the hands of the Japanese... That was a shame."

In the last two words, Michelle snuffled and growled in her voice, her chest bulging as if to represent his anger.

The loss of the Astor would have been like a cut in the heart for the military.

That's what they paid for real money, which they just got from Mobil, and according to the agreement between the two sides.

Once damaged during the war, Washington will pay for it and pay a large amount of compensation.

"It's a sad story." Li Zitao said with a smile.

"Come on Michelle pointed at him without anger and said with a smile, "can't you just perfunctory?"

Li Zitao's expression could not show the meaning of "Sadness".

"All right." "I hope the compensation from Washington will be in place as soon as possible," Li said in a stern tone

"You bastard." Michelle raised her fist and hammered him on the shoulder.

This is not the answer he wanted, but the reason why he came to Li Zitao on his own initiative.

It's been a tough time in Washington!

It's not to get rid of it, and they won't.

If all kinds of support for Washington during the war suffered from deception and denial, it was time for Roosevelt to prepare his resignation speech.

However, in recent years, Washington has successively provided huge financial assistance to the Soviet Union, China and European countries led by Britain.

Even if the Fed operates the machine, even if it can't keep up with Washington's spending speed.

But all of these aid are necessary and will bring practical benefits and international influence to the United States.

Therefore, Washington wants to discuss the issue of compensation for the Astor after the war.

"Sir, it's hard for me to account to the board of directors." Hearing the other party's intention, Li Zitao said with some embarrassment.

After a sip of wine, Michelle relaxed and said, "of course I know, Charlie... No one is relaxed in this war."

Putting her hand on his shoulder, Michelle looked at him sincerely. "Allies can't fail, Charlie... We all have to believe that and try to make it happen."

"You are the chief of staff of the army. It is said that the number of soldiers recruited has reached 2 million... Can't they send someone else?"

"I'm afraid that you're not the one who's afraid to refuse." Michelle reached out and pointed between them.

People who don't know how close they are when they see it.

"I need to communicate with the board before I can give you an answer. That's not a small number." How can it be small when it comes to tens of millions of beautiful knives?

Even if Michelle, the chief of staff of the army, is a lobbyist, it can't be erased by a word."Of course, I'll wait for your good news." Michelle raised her glass.

……

Looking at Michelle's departure as a background wall, Jonathan, who did not interrupt, said with a smile, "what are you going to do?"

"It's on you, of course." Li said naturally.

"What?" Jonathan is a bit confused. What does this have to do with me?

"Didn't you say you would buy it back if it sank?" "Now it's yours," Li said

"How much is it?" Jonathan sort of understood.

"Pay with compensation, as you think, and now it's your problem." Li Zitao looked at him with feigned pride.

"You know, I'm well paid." Jonathan said deliberately.

"One tenth." As a man of status, how could he do something white p.

"Enough." Jonathan accepted, but frowned: "the situation in Washington is exactly what he said. It's not easy to get money."

"Then give it a suitable interest rate. Isn't that what you're good at?" Li also felt that it was impossible to get the money back now.

Washington now wants to break a cent in half, where there is still money to pay for the Astor.

However, due interest should be paid on arrears.

The villain could not have been more appropriate for Jonathan to do it. Anyway, he could get the big head, and he didn't have to face Roosevelt's endless complaints.

As one of the three giants, Li Zitao never thought that he would be like a woman nagging endlessly about one thing.

Li Zitao has experienced this experience many times, and now it is time for him to take on another person.

At this time, Jonathan did not know what kind of hobby the great president had, and he was still thinking about how to get Washington to agree to their terms.
