Chapter 352, Leading the Snake Out of the Hole (6)
"Today, the MacDonald family admitted for the first time that their leader, the legendary businessman, scientist and inventor of American history, Mr. McDonald, fell into a deep coma. (23w[x] A spokesperson for the 'Salvation' Hospital said that after difficult rescue, Mr. McDonald's life characteristics are now very stable, but when Mr. McDonald was sent to the hospital, he was already in a deep coma. Until now, we still have not been able to wake him up. Mr. McDonald is still alive. As for when he wakes up, it can only be God's arrangement.
In this regard, we interviewed Dr. Dalton from Yale University School of Medicine. Dr. Dalton is an expert in brain and nerves. He explained this:
Obviously, Mr. MacDonald had suffered severe blood loss before being sent to the hospital. This led to insufficient blood supply to the brain, which led to severe hypoxia in the brain. According to the latest research results, among the various organs of the human body, the brain consumes the most oxygen and is also the most sensitive to oxygen deficiency. In the case of extreme hypoxia, brain cells may suffer severe and irreversible damage. For this reason, when extremely hypoxia is extremely hypoxia, the brain will suspend its work to reduce oxygen consumption and avoid excessive brain cells from dying due to hypoxia. So people will fall into a deep coma at this time. In a sense, this is a self-protection mechanism of the brain. As for why, when the problem of hypoxia is solved, Mr. MacDonald still does not
Wake up. There are two possibilities. One is that the hypoxia was too serious at that time, so that too many cells in the brain entered dormant, which led to the need for very strong and effective stimulation to awaken him. What kind of stimulation is very strong and effective? It is different for anyone. This naturally means that Mr. MacDonald may wake up tomorrow, or may never wake up forever. Everything depends on God's will; the other possibility is even worse, that is, many of Mr. MacDonald's brain cells have died due to severe hypoxia, but the brain stem part that has higher tolerance for hypoxia and is more preferentially provided with oxygen supply remains vital. If so, Mr. MacDonald will never wake up..."
Stanford put down the newspaper in his hand and started to circulate in the study excitedly.
"I'm in a coma? I don't know when I'll wake up? How long do they want to deceive everyone? If Scourge was really just a coma, then how could Dorothea just go and see him and leave the hospital? This means that Dorothea doesn't believe that he will wake up again. Moreover, his brother, Carol, although he has visited him since then, left after only staying in the hospital for a short while, and has never even come again since then. What does this mean? Doesn't this mean that Carol also doesn't think Scourge has any possibility of waking up? Now they claim that Scourge is just a coma, which is entirely because they can't continue to hide this fact. Now there are obviously a lot of McDonald's consortium in the MacDonald's consortium.
The problem is, whether it is external or internal. If Scozhi is still alive, even if he is still very weak, he must show his appearance. As long as he shows his face, as long as he can make even a little sound, he will be shocked by him, whether it is an aggressive foreign enemy or an ambitious internal player who is ready to move. But he just can't make a sound, which will only make more people suspicious. So at this time, they simply admit that Scozhi fell into a coma and wanted to use this possible that Scozhi might wake up at any time to intimidate their enemies. This is really ridiculous!" Stanford murmured to himself, "No, I must take action. This is a feast of capital. If you move slowly, you can't eat anything!"
...
"Don't worry that we will not be able to eat when we are slow." Morgan told his allies that many of them have been blaming Morgan for being slow recently, which may make them miss a great opportunity.
"My friends, a huge and ferocious whale was hit by a harpoon, but it was still strong and powerful, able to fight whalers continuously. Of course, the giant whales were killed in the end, although several whalers died in desperation. My friends, tell me, who is the one who gained the most benefits in this battle, is the first whaler who rushed forward and fought desperately, or is the owner of their ship? The MacDonald's consortium lost Scozhi, which was indeed a fatal blow, but the giant whales still had
Strength, its teeth are still sharp, its power has not yet been exhausted. At this time, rushing up is a very dangerous thing. Don't be anxious, let the little guys rush up first. Anyway, for them, if they move slowly, they really can't eat anything. They have no choice at all. And we can observe from a safe distance to see how much power the giant whale has to resist. We will go up and collect the fruits when the most favorable and safest combination is the best." Morgan explained to his allies.
"But even so, we can't delay too much." said a banker. "The situation is so clear now, and we should take action."
"Yes, the struggles within the MacDonald family have been semi-public. It is obvious that Dorothea McDonald and Carroll MacDonald have become obviously in opposition to fight for the family's rights. Because they gained control of MacDonald Chemical and Pharmaceuticals, Dorothea is eager to promote the development of alternatives to sulfonamides. Carroll, who controls MacDonald Ventures, is obviously dragging his feet. He even claimed that the new plan had exceeded a lot, and that after losing the guidance of the greatest pharmacist Scrooge, it was a fool to continue investing in this plan. But Ms. Dorothea seemed determined to continue to advance the plan. For this reason, Ms. Dorothea seemed to have formed an alliance with Rockefeller in her hand to deal with Carroll together. I think we can start now." Another banker said.
A long time ago, when Scrooge talked to his relatives about Morgan, he once said this: "Morgan integrated Wall Street's financial capital through alliances, which is amazing. This allows him to control it with very small capital and mobilize almost no less than ours. But his model also has a weakness, that is, he actually has no compulsory control over the allies he joins. The reason they obeyed him was because he had proved that he was more skillful than others and could bring everyone to make a fortune together. However, if one day, there was a conflict of interest within, or when there was a big enough interest in front of him, how to balance the internal situation would become a huge difficulty. Sometimes, in order to maintain unity, Morgan might have to make some compromises and do things that he thought were not necessarily mature."
If Morgan knew Scrooge's statement, he would have agreed very much, for example, now under pressure from his allies, he had to start taking action.
...
The MacDonald family's incidents not only affected the United States, but also Europe.
The MacDonald Consortium also has many businesses in Europe. Unlike in the United States, most of these companies in Europe are listed companies with joint-stock companies. Of course, this will give others more opportunities to take advantage of the situation.
"Hey, David, hello." David just walked into the London stock market and saw a guy greeting him. David recognized that this man was one of the members of the Rothschild family, named Eugene.
"Mr. Eugene, you are good. You look good, what's the deal?" David asked casually.
"Ah, nothing? I just bought the Raffiburg from someone else at a suitable price." Eugene said casually as if he was careless.
"What?" David was surprised. Because he knew very well who the former owner of Rafdale Castle was. Not long ago, the Rothschild family gave the wine castle to the MacDonald family and was handed over to Scrooge's wife Dorothea. Now the winery has returned to the hands of the Rothschild family. More importantly, as the agent of the McDonald consortium in London, he had no news at all. The transaction of such a winery was completely excluded.
So David immediately remembered the recent rumors. According to the rumors, Dorothea and Carol had a conflict over the future direction of the consortium and were even shattering each other. If this statement is reliable, then Dorothea's approach would be understandable. She needs money now and needs a lot of money.
"What, I'm surprised? David, should I go have a drink together after get off work?" Eugene asked.
David wanted to reject him, but when he realized that something might have happened to the MacDonald consortium, he suddenly felt that it might not be wise to hang himself on such a tree.
...
"If you hadn't made the rules that these things would be kept secret from everyone who had happened to us, how could David be mixed with the people of the Rothschild family? Carol, how long will your fishing continue? Hurry up, otherwise, more and more traitors will really emerge. In addition, no matter what, you can't attack my relatives!" After learning that David and the people of the Rothschild family were in frequent contact, Catherine said this to the Carol brothers and Dorothea.
