Chapter 433 Umbrella Company
"Come back and check to see if someone is causing trouble." Seeing little Morgan about to go out, Morgan called his son back, "Send someone to San Francisco to investigate. Don't worry about whether it's dangerous or not. We need to find out what's going on now.
The situation is such that we can’t let these bastards do whatever they want.”
With such a large number of insurance policies appearing, although Morgan said he was ready to accept the debt, he still had to find out what was going on and whether someone was taking the opportunity to shear his own wool.
Due to the banker's judgment, Morgan instinctively felt that things were not that simple. Now that this feeling has appeared, he should believe him for no reason. Even if he suffers a loss, he must understand the source of the loss and cannot suffer a dumb loss.
.
"I'll find someone I trust right away and go to San Francisco to see it with my own eyes." Little Morgan answered with strong energy. There must be no chaos at this time. Maybe things are far from that bad.
How can it be so bad? The slave owner first estimated that it was just a little more than the purchase of the San Francisco Shipyard. Of course, this number does not include some other San Francisco citizens. How many San Francisco citizens bought insurance?
How would a Texas citizen know?
With the restoration of the two railways, external supplies have entered California, mainly to the San Francisco area, which was the most severely damaged. Los Angeles, as a nearby large city, serves as a transfer station.
The care of the federal government finally appeared in California. Before Alice Roosevelt arrived in Los Angeles, Congress finally passed a resolution, promising to begin reconstruction after order was restored in San Francisco. A system like the United States will definitely avoid setting an exact date to prevent
The unscrupulous people took the opportunity to cause trouble, but fortunately there was news and a reconstruction resolution was put forward.
On the way to San Francisco, he held Alice Roosevelt's red lips and kissed her passionately. Sheffield let go without hesitation. Although he was suspected of intercepting supplies halfway, he himself contributed a lot to this natural disaster and should be rewarded.
After wiping the saliva from her mouth, Alice Roosevelt didn't say much. Instead, her heart was beating hard. It took her a long time to say, "You've been here for a month. Is the situation in San Francisco very serious?"
"It's not serious!" Sheffield replied simply, "The good order of the citizens of San Francisco is shocking."
When the earthquake started, some people set fires and defrauded insurance companies. That was definitely a rumor. Some people took advantage of the chaos to rob, and that is America's own national condition. As for the current good order, those problems that harmed order have been treated as problems and solved. Now
The citizens of San Francisco are full of expectations for a new life. Jesra has already taken the lead and mobilized the affected citizens to find insurance policies to compensate for their losses before setting off from Sheffield.
"Why call for martial law if it's not serious?" Alice Roosevelt nodded, but immediately discovered something suspicious.
"Martial law is a means of dictatorship in an imperial country. We are a free country and do not pay attention to this. This is a decision made through democratic procedures to maintain necessary order." Sheffield shook his head reflexively, "This is completely different."
After arriving in San Francisco, starting from the suburbs, Alice Roosevelt could see endless tents. Regarding Sheffield's remarks, she had a question mark in her heart. When she saw the ruins of the entire San Francisco with her own eyes, almost the urban area had turned into rubble.
After that, he asked in disbelief, "Do you mean it's not serious? San Francisco only announced less than a thousand dead. If someone picked up this scene, who would believe it?"
"Those who believe it will naturally believe it, and those who don't believe it can't see it." Sheffield put his hand on Alice Roosevelt's shoulder, "The real result is not suitable to be told to the citizens of the country who care about this matter.
, because this may cause a series of impacts, including at the government level and the economic level, so people can only see the results that Californians want them to see. The focus is on the future, rather than worrying about the dead, who are already dead.
We have to think about the living."
The slave owner's logic was so perfect that Alice Roosevelt couldn't accept it and murmured, "But isn't this blocking the truth, the transparency of our federal government?"
"As I just said before, blocking the truth is a dictatorial method of an imperial country. A free country like ours, after a democratic process, chooses not to announce the results that may cause panic, all for the sake of the surviving California citizens.
." Sheffield clasped his hands behind his back. Although his eyes did not leave the tragic scene of being razed to the ground in front of him, he acted as if he had not seen it at all. "As for the transparency of the government, the words government and transparency are contradictory in themselves. Under normal circumstances,
, you can be transparent, you can also have a government, but a transparent government does not exist."
"But, but citizens across the country have the right to know the truth and know the real situation here." Alice Roosevelt asked in disbelief, "Did I make a mistake?"
"Yes, but citizens also have the right to be ignorant. Knowledge represents conspiracy and crime. Ignorance has a certain dignity. If they don't know, they won't be troubled by it." Sheffield stared into Alice Roosevelt's eyes.
, solemnly said, "Politics, half of the people who care about it can't understand it, and half of the people who understand it don't agree with it. The rest are ** in any case. This is the politics of our country, otherwise the opposition party will
What’s the point of existence? Even if it’s a resolution to rebuild San Francisco, aren’t there people who oppose it?”
"This is shirking responsibility!" Alice Roosevelt said this after listening to Sheffield's words for a long time.
"No, dear, this is called democracy." Sheffield hugged Alice Roosevelt, stretched out his hand and gently patted the woman's back to comfort him. The truth is so real, comparable to aspirin not curing cancer, and Moxiang Shunqi Pill not curing it.
Myocardial infarction. But most people just cannot accept it psychologically.
"Don't we ever have a more real time? It's not like now when we need to avoid all kinds of noise in order to get closer to the truth." Alice Roosevelt hugged Sheffield with her backhand. She had no strength now. This man was too bad and exposed.
I have bubbles in my heart, but I show myself to be so honest.
"That's true. Before 1828, before President Jackson came to power, the federal government at that time was still real." Sheffield thought for a while, then gave the president's daughter a fatal blow, and then he felt Alice
Roosevelt seemed to have no bones and had to hold himself to keep from falling.
No government in this world is without problems. As long as it is managed by people, it cannot be without problems. Those who say there are no problems are all lies. This is a fact that everyone with basic logic knows. Alice Roosevelt may
I traveled abroad and felt a certain sense of pride in my heart. But I didn't expect that I would be beaten back to my original shape by the slave owner. I couldn't accept it for a while, and I didn't speak the whole way back.
"I'm so sad!" Returning to Los Angeles again, Alice Roosevelt was no longer as active as when she came.
"Dear, now is not the time to be sad. We have to give confidence to the people who are still alive. You are the president's daughter. If you can make some inspiring remarks to the outside world, it will have a huge impact on the living people." Although Alice exposed it.
Sheffield couldn't care less about the bubble in Roosevelt's heart. The president's daughter couldn't rest yet.
San Francisco Mayor Eugene, Los Angeles Mayor Harder, and some government representatives in California all need such an occasion to gain recognition from the federal government. Even if it is just a show, they must continue.
Alice Roosevelt had to brace herself up and express condolences to the citizens of the disaster area on behalf of her father. Taking advantage of this occasion, the two mayors also put forward their own ideas for reconstruction. They were happy and cheerful, showing that they were not afraid of hardships and burdens and were moving forward without losing optimism.
The public show has basically shown that the two parties have reached a preliminary agreement on the matter of covering up the situation.
Less than a thousand people died in the earthquake, and several thousand people died in the ensuing chaos. As for the places where the numbers don't match up, they don't exist.
However, for major insurance companies in California, the situation has become increasingly serious. Countless citizens claiming compensation from their insurance policies have frightened many insurance officers. They have never seen such a scene since entering this industry.
.
Just like banks facing runs after the economic crisis, although countless insurance officers have stated that they currently have insufficient manpower and need to verify one by one, for many citizens who only have insurance policies for all their assets, this kind of rhetoric is not enough to calm them.
Come down.
"In the next reconstruction, our joint company will play an important role." When major insurance companies were facing a run, Jesra announced at a reception gathered by reporters, "In the process of urban reconstruction in New Orleans,
Among them, United Company has rich experience. Originally, United Company was not prepared to get involved in the real estate market, but after seeing the devastated scene in San Francisco, my boss had new ideas."
"This is the logo of the new company! This red and white umbrella will be the logo of the new company." Jesla, well-dressed, explained to the local reporters in California with a smile, "I hope our new company
, we can understand the umbrella company to ensure the safety of all California citizens and never be harmed by earthquakes again. Under the supervision of the majority of citizens, we will definitely be able to build a new California and a new San Francisco, and the headquarters of the umbrella company will be placed
In San Francisco.”
