The Christmas Eve cocktail went smoothly.

The famous circus and ballet dancers from the Bolshoi Theater specially invited at the cocktail party this time mobilized the atmosphere on site.

The style of Soviet beauties made the eyes of rich people who are outside the United States shine, and when it ends, they don’t know how many more businesses will be reached.

What impressed Li Zitao on the scene was Ulanova, who had watched his performance at the Chicago Opera House.

Compared to years ago, she looked thinner, her delicate appearance was still dazzling, and her manner was gentle and elegant, as if the atmosphere of art was integrated into every part of her body.

When someone communicates with her, she will keep quiet and stare at the other person with a focused look, making people feel sincerity and respect.

Out of appreciation, Li Zitao proposed after the dance and asked her and the members of the Ballet to stay in Chicago for a while.

He will invite the dance troupe members to perform another grand performance at the Chicago Opera House, allowing American citizens to feel the charm from the Far East.

The next day, Li Zitao was having breakfast with his family.

"Boss, Mr. Secus Samuel has arrived." Bai Xue leaned over and said in his ear, raised her head and nodded and smiled at Mary with some restraint.

When the concubine saw the eldest wife, Bai Xue felt instinctively afraid. She couldn't tell why, but she just didn't dare to face Mary directly.

"Yeah." After putting the last bite of the ham sandwich in his hand into his mouth, chewed it in big mouthfuls, Li Zitao drank the juice and wiped his mouth, exclaiming, "Today's ham is good, was it sent by the farm?"

"It's the new variety of Asa Farm, the best part." Mary also likes the taste of ham today and tastes very delicious.

"I'll use this in the future." He said to the Franti beside him. Then Li Zitao went to the living room with Bai Xue slowly.

Due to physical reasons, Old Hogg is sharing his work with Franti, such as simple and casual family dinners, daily cleaning work, etc.

In the living room, Secus looked at the decoration and placing hanging antiques and artworks in the room.

The personal experience of the Li family over the past two days gave him a more direct judgment on the wealth.

This is a wealthy family, how rich is it?

Even he, a rich man from England, felt extremely grateful for his wealth.

Samuel's surname is not a small person in the UK. His father is the founder of Royal Oil.

In the early 1990s, Royal Oil acquired the once glorious Shell Group, and in 1911, it merged with the Caspian Sea and Black Sea Oil Corporation, becoming the current Royal Shell.

Dutch Shell has long been in the hands of the Samuel family, which is an important member of the board of directors and firmly controls the largest oil company in Europe.

The sound of the spring was very clear in the quiet environment. Secus stood up while turning back and happened to see Li Zitao walking towards him.

The two sides exchanged greetings, and after each took their seats, the servants brought refreshments.

"Li, I'm glad you've taken the time. Although we've worked together for a long time, we've never seen it before. This has always been a shame for me."

Secus was very enthusiastic and played the emotional card first as soon as he came out, wanting to get closer to Li Zitao.

"The Samuel family's heritage in Europe is enviable, and even Rothschild wants to pay tribute to it. Today's acquaintance is equally honorable to me."

Before meeting Secus, Li Zitao did some homework. In the middle of the last century, his family had a deep relationship with the Rothschild family.

In the early 1980s, Secus's father also received a considerable amount of funds from Rothschild to establish the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company.

Later, the annexation plan for Shell Group and other oil companies also had the shadow of Rothschild, and the two companies could be called the turn of the century.

With a good opening, the atmosphere of the conversation followed was relaxed and pleasant. Secus talked about interesting things from his school days and his experiences when traveling in various countries.

Over the past few years, Li Zitao has also been to many places. He can also say a few words when he talks about the cultural customs of the Mediterranean, South Africa, and European countries.

The chat ended with a hearty laughter, and Li Zitao had to admit that his impression of Secus had improved a lot, and the relationship between the two also progressed rapidly.

Perhaps feeling the time is ripe, Secus begins to talk about the important things.

The reason why mobil's crude oil supply order for Dutch Shell was unable to be fulfilled normally has seriously affected the company's original future development plan.

"Charlie, if she loses that crude oil, Shell has to change its development plan for the next 6 to 18 months,

I think you can understand the troubles and possible losses... Our cooperation started 3 years ago and it was very smooth.

Mobil and Shell have a tacit understanding. North America and Europe are under our control. If you give up now, your previous efforts will be in vain."

Secus said in a low and gentle tone, and whenever he talked about the point, he would emphasize his tone and show a serious look.

"Secus, this is the decision of the board of directors, not mine." Li Zitao said with a smile.

"But I heard that you have provided many useful advice when developing aid programs for the Far East in Washington." Secus also has his own source.

Although the Samuel family is far away in England, the news about their in America is not at all blocked, but is more informed than some big families.

Regarding Washington's aid plan to the Far East, the main person in charge of the plan is Secretary of State, Cordelhull.

The rest are Roosevelt's senior adviser, members of the Washington think tank, and have consulted with the Secretary of Finance Morgan Saugh and senior military generals.

It seems that Li Zitao is not involved, but during the planning process, he was one of the personal senior advisers of Secretary of State Hull.

Not just in terms of planning, it is said that Washington's first aid to the Far East is not as high as before.

But this Chinese super rich man paid out of his own pocket to sponsor US$15 million in military supplies and US$50 million in loans.

This is why 60 million material assistance and 100 million US dollars in loan support were provided.

Secus knew this, and Li Zitao was not surprised.

In fact, he did not deliberately hide it. Many people in the United States know this, but no one used it to attack him.

Because from beginning to end, Li Zitao was invited by the Secretary of State.

The plan to aid the Far East was formulated by President Roosevelt, and what he did was nothing more than to contribute to his hometown.

However, his private sponsorship of $65 million is still a bit surprising, and he is once again jealous of his cash reserves.

65 million US dollars in cash is not a small amount for Secus.

The wealth of your value is never equal to cash. The richer the person understands this truth, and more importantly, it is his personal behavior.
