My America

Chapter 295: Starting line and finish line

Such a ready-to-back look made the fiancé, who had just been showing off, caught off guard and quickly said, "As far as I know, Rockefeller Jr. is married and his allies are engaged."

That's a pity! It was a pity that the woman's eyes flashed, but unfortunately there was no chance. She glanced at her fiancé, which is also a very good man. The family is solid and a talented person. It is a pity that it cannot be compared with those two brilliant young people.

"Since today, 60% of Carnegie Steel ’s shareholding has been changed. Carnegie retained 10% of the shares, plus the shares transferred by other shareholders. You and I will merge the original steel plant into Carnegie Steel Corporation, and then dilute the proportion of other shareholders, this steel kingdom belongs to you and me. "Little Rockefeller and Sheffield whispered," After this round of mergers and acquisitions, we have only one opponent in the steel industry, the Morgan Alliance U.S. Steel Corporation, with a comparable market share ... "

"Now it's about the same, but you have the cheapest source of raw materials. I have the project that needs the raw materials most. You are at the starting line. I'm at the finish line. We're talking about this steel track!" Sheffield slowly swallowed Swallow said, "It's worth the money."

Overall, the importance of the Panama Canal is slightly inferior to the Suez Canal, but it is also a goose that can lay golden eggs. The construction of the Panama Canal is much larger than the Suez Canal, with a total length of 82 kilometers and a width of 300 meters at its widest point. Moreover, the Panama Canal is surrounded by mountains, and the Suez Canal is full of sand on both sides. The difficulty is not at a level.

Such a large amount of engineering, the required construction machinery, steel and cement are astronomical figures, so the capacity problem of Carnegie Steel is not a big problem. Sheffield can solve this problem.

But even so, Sheffield still believes that this deal involves a $ 300 million merger and acquisition, and it is bleeding. For others, it is almost lying on the Golden Mountain to prepare for the life of life. For Sheffield, What Jinshan has is that what is lacking is a shovel. The capital flow is a shovel.

"If you had been delayed for almost a year, where would I go to find so much money?" Sheffield sighed, and I looked very difficult. "Now I still want to discount shares to Edith. money."

"Did you even take money from Edith?" If not so many people watched, Rockefeller Jr. wanted to punch the bastard, even the woman's money?

"Don't be angry, she volunteered!" Sheffield glanced at Rockefeller Jr., shrugging indifferently. "After all, it is the industry of the steel king, and there is also a guarantee for her future life. Ordinary citizens accumulate wealth little by little. , We are different, we need to find ways to make money. "

I do n’t feel anything wrong with eating soft rice at all, and I still eat right. If Rockefeller is not satisfied, you can also find a rich woman to eat. It ’s a pity that you ca n’t find the same as old Rockefeller when you travel all over the United States. , Treat my daughter's father-in-law so well.

As for another question, the citizens of the United States have the tradition of saving in this era. In fact, the citizens of the United States are more frugal than many European countries. This saving tradition can still be maintained for seven to eighty years. The turning point is that after Reagan came to power, he was ready to hold back the Soviet Union and adjust a number of foreign policies. At the same time, he brought huge debts and declining private savings. Fortunately, this big It was difficult to recruit the Soviet Union, otherwise, it would be difficult ...

The steel king, who is in his 60s, does not know the two juniors, and is talking about the problem of receiving inheritance. This M & A business Carnegie must have made a profit, cashed out 300 million US dollars, and his personal wealth surpassed the old Rockefeller. Became the new richest man in the United States of America.

But from another aspect, Standard Oil and the United Company also earned. Carnegie cashed in a satisfactory wealth and retained few but sufficient shares. Sheffield and Rockefeller Jr. both made long-term income. As Rockefeller Jr. said, as long as the industry is here, energy sources will continue to create revenue.

"Today I can say without any politeness that my whole life ’s efforts fell into the hands of two more powerful and aggressive younger generations, who have a more vigorous fighting spirit. I believe that Carnegie Steel ’s progress will never stop. , Even faster and faster! "Carnegie was still giving an inspiring speech. With his fingers, the eyes of the people present followed the fingers of the Iron King and looked at the two young people sitting side by side. Two energetic bosses, do n’t you tell your shareholders anything? ”

Carnegie's words caught the two a bit caught off guard. Faced with the eyes of a large group of people, Rockefeller Jr. first stood up and talked about the future planning for Carnegie Steel, reducing costs and creating greater benefits. Mercerby mines and the inland river transport business of the Great Lakes region will also be integrated into the business of this steel kingdom.

The Mercerby mine is the richest mine with the least difficulty in mining. The transportation of minerals in the Great Lakes region is also in the hands of the Rockefeller family. It can be said that once it is included in the business of Carnegie Steel, considerable profits will come.

Shepherd ’s turn came up, facing the crowd who had been surprised, holding his head in the aura of the slave owner, shouting, “The Panama Canal project needs a lot of steel, enough to eat the extra share of Carnegie Steel Corporation. Before the joint company took over the canal, the French canal management company had completed one-third of the project. Now all the joint company has to do is complete the remaining two-thirds. Carnegie Steel ’s production capacity is not high, but low. There are many countries that need steel to enter. It must be explained that the joint company and Standard Oil are the forerunners of all companies in the entire United States in the internationalization. Although there are insignificant difficulties ahead, the joint company and strong allies must work hand in hand. Can overcome all difficulties. "

"The Panama Canal project can be regarded as the century project officially coming to the United States. Not only the civil society, but also the federal government and the world are paying attention to this project. The addition of Carnegie Steel will make this project completed earlier." Xie Field said, "The new Carnegie Steel Company will defeat all opponents, not to mention in the United States, even in the world."

Just like the conversation between the two, Rockefeller Jr. showed that Carnegie Steel had won at the starting line, and Sheffield added that this is not just a problem with the starting line, even the finish line has been booked.

The two's statements caused a heated discussion, and even the woman who just wanted to post upside down, also anxiously asked, "You should buy Carnegie Steel's stock quickly. It's too late to be late."

At the end of 1990, in Pittsburgh, the steel city of the United States, Rockefeller Jr., representing Standard Oil, and Sheffield, representing the United Company, signed a merger agreement with Carnegie, the steel king, and jointly invested 300 million US dollars to purchase Carnegie and other shareholders. 60th of a share.

When signing, Rockefeller Jr. saw Sheffield signing Edith Rockefeller's name, and his expression was so greasy, did it all come to this point? At least the owner of Standard Petroleum can confirm one thing now. There is no 30 million US dollars.

What to see? I am your brother-in-law! Sheffield was a thick-skinned thief, who had already sighted the expression of Little Rockefeller's constipation, pretending to sign documents one by one without knowing everything, and turned a deaf ear to everything.

After the merger, the new company, called Carnegie Standards United Steel, emphasized the fact that two new giants entered the steel industry and decided to go public within three months.

This will throw a bomb into the stock market. After the contract was signed, Sheffield saw the new richest man in the United States, Andrew Carnegie, and asked his doubts, "Actually, I think that after the exchange of that day, you should One side was dissatisfied and more inclined to Morgan and Son. Is it true that my little threat has worked? If Mr. Carnegie answered this, I would not even believe it. "

"Something you don't believe, your threat really worked." Carnegie blinked badly and recovered a serious look, confessing, "I sold the steel company for a part of the reason, indeed because of loved ones. I keep passing away, and the remaining daughter is all I care about. I am indeed in my sixties, and I ca n’t protect him for long. You and John are both in their twenties and can do this job for me. You said Does it count? "

Sheffield's head is muddled. Is it true for a loved one? How to deal with workers when they strike? Anyway, if someone threatens Sheffield with a loved one, he will definitely not fail, unless he is kidnapped directly.

Suddenly he promised, "As long as the joint company is still a day, who dares to be detrimental to your daughter and her descendants, is the enemy of the entire Black Gold company, even if it is to Antarctica."

"Remember your words!" Carnegie reached out and nodded Sheffield's chest, as if to put everything down. "At my age, what else can't give up. Now I can use this money to do a little bit of social Useful thing. "

In fact, Sheffield guessed that Carnegie had such a big change in his later years. In fact, it should be related to the absence of male heirs. However, whatever the reason, the experience of the Iron King has become history. In the future, Carnegie will use the face of a great philanthropist appear.
