Everyone has their own value, especially for someone like Hamilton Fish who has been secretary of state.
In the nineteenth century, only the Horse Group spared no expense on a "outdated" former secretary of state, and the annual salary to Hamilton Fish even reached the level of 100,000 US dollars, which was nearly 60 times the salary of Hamilton Fish when he was secretary of state, and perhaps other entrepreneurs, such as Rockefeller, also realized the value of Hamilton Fish, but only Li Mu would be so sure, whether it was for Hamilton Fish, and for the current Secretary of State William Evatt, it was a good thing, this will allow the Junma Group to gain more convenience, and even when Li Mu and Hayes themselves have a conflict, William Ewatt subconsciously will take care of Li Mu and the Junma Group.
That's enough.
Although he had stepped down as secretary of state, Hamilton Fish still had enough influence that night, so that night, Hamilton Fish invited John Vanderbilt out for dinner at the Clinton Castle Hotel.
Since the news broke that Cornelius Vanderbilt was critically ill three months ago, William Vanderbilt has been living in seclusion and focusing all his energy on dealing with his siblings, and the Vanderbilt family business has taken a back seat.
To be sure, Vanderbilt's brothers and sisters are not fuel-efficient lamps, so they may not have the ability to develop a business, or even hold on to the current situation, but if they are allowed to compete for the inheritance, they are definitely capable of causing trouble for William Vanderbilt, compared to William Vanderbilt three months ago, William Vanderbilt is now much haggard, his hair is starting to turn gray, and people in their thirties look like they are in their fifties.
What feels incongruous is that although William Vanderbilt is not in good spirits, his eyes are sharper, and the whole person looks unhealthy and sickly.
"The mushroom soup here is good, especially in the current situation, it's hard to imagine where they got their fresh mushrooms."
William Vanderbilt is a big fan of the Castle Clinton Hotel's mushroom soup, which is also the signature dish of the Castle Clinton Hotel, using fresh mushrooms from Harriman National Park and prepared by a senior chef from the Qing Kingdom.
The snow disaster did not affect the operation of the Castle Clinton Hotel, and although New York City has been completely cut off from external transportation, it seems that all this does not exist for the Castle Clinton Hotel, the mushroom soup is still delicious, and the music in the restaurant is still melodious, as if everything is the same as before.
"As long as the price is high enough, there will always be people who take risks, and many times the risk is not proportional to the gain, and the goal of our efforts is to try to narrow this gap as much as possible" Hamilton Fish, like other people in their sixties, always say something that seems to be inconsequential, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that it is their life experience.
"That's right, you deserve to get as much as you give, and all attempts to get something for nothing should be as despicable as theft."
William Vanderbilt was easily aroused by sad things, and he was a little gnashing his teeth for a while.
"Is Mr.
Cornelius okay I hope God bless him, Cornelius is a good man and a great man at the same time, you don't know how sad I was when I heard the news that Mr.
Cornelius was critically ill, this damn snow disaster, I really hope Mr.
Cornelius can survive this."
Hamilton Fish inquired about Corneelier Vanderbilt's condition, and because of the work relationship, Hamilton Fish and Corneelier Vanderbilt were also old acquaintances, so it was not presumptuous.
"Thank you for remembering him, but unfortunately he is not in good health, and the doctor has issued three critical illness notices, and he may be called by the Lord at any time."
William Vanderbilt's expression was gloomy, although at the moment, Cornelius is William Vanderbilt's biggest stumbling block, but in front of Hamilton Fish, William Vanderbilt can still stay calm.
The topic was a bit heavy, but fortunately Chef Robinson of the Castle Clinton Hotel was personally there to deliver the food, which lifted William Vanderbilt and Hamilton Fish up right away.
There are not many opportunities for the chef to come and deliver the food in person, and the chef will usually only come to the table if important guests come to eat, and William Vanderbilt and Hamilton Fish are certainly enough, so the appearance of the chef is not surprising.
"I'm very sorry, today's soup may not be fresh enough compared to the previous ones, and the staff we sent out to pick mushrooms yesterday didn't return on time, so we used mushrooms from Woodbridge, which may affect the taste a little bit, I hope you don't mind."
Robinson has a humble attitude, and when he speaks, he is accompanied by a standard 90-degree bow, don't think that Robinson is Japanese, but in fact he is not, Robinson is a standard Chinese, only because of his surname Lu, so he is called Robinson.
Robinson's words just now inadvertently revealed a fact, even during the snow disaster, the Clinton Castle Hotel will send people to Harriman National Park to pick mushrooms, considering the current weather, not being able to return on time basically means death, but unfortunately, this does not seem to affect the appetite of William Vanderbilt and Hamilton Fish.
"It's good to have soup to drink, couldn't ask for more, thank God for the food, we should pray for those poor people, this damn life, it's so unfair."
Hamilton Fish still noticed this problem, but it did not affect Hamilton Fish's mood, when he was secretary of state, Hamilton Fish knew too many similar events, if Hamilton Fish had to pray every time, then Hamilton Fish might as well go straight to the priesthood, he would stay in church for the rest of his life.
The snow disaster still has an impact on the business of the Clinton Castle Hotel, usually if you want to dine at the Clinton Castle Hotel, you need to make a reservation in advance, otherwise you will definitely hit the nail, you don't need to do it today, there are only a few tables of guests in the whole restaurant, among which William Vanderbilt and Hamilton Fish and their entourage occupy three tables, in addition to only two tables of guests, and the closest guests to William Vanderbilt and Hamilton Fish are also ten meters away.
"As a sign of apologies from the restaurant, today's mushroom soup is free, and I hope you two have a pleasant meal."
Robinson didn't stay long, politely apologized and then left immediately, which is also the purpose of the Castle Clinton Hotel, not to disturb the guests under any circumstances.
"What do you want to do next, I think you already have a way to deal with those with bad intentions" Hamilton Fish trusts William Vanderbilt's abilities, and also blames William Vanderbilt's siblings for not being strong, almost no one can pose a threat to William Vanderbilt.
"What can I do, although I have been prepared for this, I still did not expect that this day will come back so quickly, it all depends on God's will, if God wants someone to be the new helmsman of the Vanderbilt family, then I have no opinion."
William Vanderbilt said it lightly, but his expression betrayed him, bullshit God, William Vanderbilt would not take anyone but himself.
"The Vanderbilt family is one of the largest businesses in the United States right now, and we all hope that the Vanderbilt family can be rebuilt under someone's leadership, and if something goes wrong in the selection of an heir, it will be a disaster for both the United States and the Vanderbilt family."
Hamilton Fish, no matter what William Vanderbilt said, continued to speak on his own, and his words were full of provocation.
Yes, don't talk nonsense, I know what kind of person you are, so don't perform in front of me, I'll keep an eye on you.
This is not easy to answer, William Vanderbilt simply did not speak, and single-mindedly dealt with the mushroom soup in front of him.
It is an obvious fact that if Conelliers Vanderbilt had left a will, then the will would have been the final verdict on the patriarch of the Vanderbilt family, but if Conelliers Vanderbilt had not left a will, it would have been good, and it would have been up to God to see who would have received how much.
Considering Cornelius Vanderbilt's illness, it seems that Corneelis Vanderbilt did not have time to leave a will, and if he really did not, then it would be another bloody storm.
"Waiter, waiter, let your manager out" There was a sudden noise in the corner of the restaurant, and two customers were banging on the table and shouting at the restaurant manager.
Before the restaurant manager arrived, several uniformed security guards quietly appeared next to the two customers, and if the two customers were excited, the security guards would immediately intervene.
It takes a certain amount of courage to dare to make trouble at the Castle Clinton Hotel.
"Both, what's the order?"
said Fern Herbert, the restaurant manager, and Robinson, the chef.
"What about the mushroom soup we ordered, obviously we came earlier and ordered the food earlier, but why did the people who arrived later than us drink the mushroom soup faster than us, are you racist, I want to accuse you."

The two young men were very imposing, and most of the people who were able to dine at the Clinton Castle Hotel were either rich or expensive, and they themselves were the enjoyers of privilege, but when their own interests were harmed, they were staunch opponents of privilege.
"I'm sorry, today's mushroom soup has been sold out, in order to apologize, I bought your order, sorry, I disturbed the mood of the two of you."
Fern Herbert apologized politely, but it was very different from Robinson's attitude towards William Vanderbilt and Hamilton Fish.
The mushroom soup at the Castle Clinton Hotel is sold in limited quantities, not for hunger marketing, but because the mushroom soup is made in a complex process, so the number of mushroom soups that can be served in a very limited amount each day is very limited.
The two customers arrived earlier than William Vanderbilt and Hamilton Fish, and when they ordered the food just now, it was true that there was still one last mushroom soup, but this soup was now on the table of William Vanderbilt and Hamilton Fish.
"That's not what your waiter said just now, it's not a matter of money, we can afford to pay, we want fair treatment, we come to the restaurant to consume, we should enjoy fair service."
The two customers were very dissatisfied, and the people who could go to the Clinton Castle Hotel to spend money were basically all either rich or expensive, and such people were not short of money.
"I'm sorry, gentlemen, please don't disturb the other customers, if you are not satisfied with this decision, then let's go to the office and talk" Fern Herbert took a step back, if the two young men did not know what to do, then Fern Herbert would not be polite.
"We are also customers, but our dining mood has been ruined, we waited here for half an hour, only to say sorry, sorry, this way please forgive me for not accepting."
The slightly younger customer insisted that he was wearing the latest spring outfit for men, and that the Castle Clinton Hotel was well heated, otherwise it would be unwise to wear it in such weather.
"So, what do you want" Fern Herbert decided not to back down, this matter is indeed wrong with the restaurant, but it is not an unforgivable crime, the beach club behind the Clinton Castle Hotel is not easy to mess with, according to previous experience, the two young men will immediately coax, and then take the compensation from the restaurant to find a suitable target.
"We want mushroom soup, fresh mushroom soup, damn it, is it your brain that has a problem, or my expression is wrong."
The young man did not seem to hear the hidden meaning of Fernherbert's words, and still insisted on being treated as he deserved.
"Sorry to go to the bathroom."
The slightly older customer got up, ripped off the napkin around his neck, crumpled it, and slammed it on the table in front of him.
From the door of the restaurant to the bathroom, you have to pass by the tables of William Vanderbilt and Hamilton Fish, and the slightly older customers are scolding Fern Herbert as they walk, and their steps are subconsciously a little off.
Biased towards the tables of William Vanderbilt and Hamilton Fish.
"Hi sir, please come this way and don't disturb my boss's meal."
William Vanderbilt's bodyguards stood up to prevent slightly older customers from approaching William Vanderbilt's table.
"This is a public dining room, not your living room, and you have no right to interfere with my choice."
The slightly older customers were even more upset and got into a big argument with William Vanderbilt's bodyguards.
This is the rhythm of not knowing whether to live or die, daring to trouble William Vanderbilt, which is the rhythm of being thrown into the Hudson River every minute
