Chapter 40 Make a fortune
Durant actually wants to borrow money from George and then stabilize General Motors' shares. Needless to say, the purpose is self-evident.
I wanted to find an idea with my old friend Groman before, but in the end Groman introduced this young man who has been in the limelight recently.
He originally thought that it would be easy to win, but he couldn't agree to the conditions they offered. If he wanted shares, he could get it with his own methods. What they want now are the shares of Morgan and DuPont.
,It can’t be done!
But it’s correct to think about it. With 50 million US dollars in cash, he can’t buy shares of any company now.
The two chatted for a while about their views on the future economy, and then separated. Now George has the money he urgently needs, but he simply can't give George what he wants. So, this can only be done temporarily.<
/p>
However, although there are no secrets in Wall Street, Groman's behavior today once again refreshed George's cognitive bottom line. The first time was that Lincoln Company learned about his purchase of Lincoln Company's shares through him, although the cooperation was finally reached.
, but this already involves selling customer information.
This time it was even more obvious. If he had sent someone to call him to inform him before the meeting last time, then this time he had given himself away as a favor. Not only had he betrayed his client information, but he had also not notified himself of the meeting.
people.
If George's previous plan was followed, George could obtain the current shares for only about 14 yuan per share, which would cost George at least nearly 300,000 more in deposits. To be precise, George would have to spend an additional 3 million U.S. dollars. Although this
The money will be deducted from future profits, but George actually spent the extra money.
Does this kind of behavior reflect the atmosphere of young George? Looking at Groman chatting and laughing with Durant in the distance, George secretly remembered this incident in his heart.
Because the banquet is not over yet, the charity auction must take one piece back. This is also a disguised way of integrating into the so-called celebrity class.
George was chatting with some people he had just met. Facing this young, rich and handsome young man, single ladies who felt that they were in good condition would definitely have some ideas. So George was not worried about being bored alone.
.
Half an hour later, the auction officially started. George symbolically bought a piece of Western oil painting, a Chinese shareholder, for less than 10,000 U.S. dollars, and did not sell it again. The most expensive one was the oil painting, and the piece from China was said to be
The things the emperor used only cost more than a thousand dollars.
This is because of this kind of auction. The fundamental reason is that these people don't understand. Just from the seal at the bottom, George knows that this cultural relic will be worth at least tens of millions in future generations. Still like this
You don’t know how to appreciate people and don’t know the goods.
After George took the photo, he said hello to Durand and Groman from afar and left the banquet.
The next day, Panlong Company
As soon as Paul saw George, he reported: "Boss, the five companies you selected previously have completed the acquisition. All the shares are in our hands. Are we going to delist or release financing news?"
George looked at the entire merger and acquisition report. Due to market reasons, the capital chain was broken, bankrupt, and ineffective. However, it also has its own advantages. The production workers are all experienced and have their own sales channels. The key is the cost of the entire merger and acquisition.
Still very low.
"No need, let's keep it as it is for now."
Now that the company has been fully acquired, we can start transformation and production only after the patent is obtained. However, George did not require major changes. For the current product materials, some parts must be made of plastic to reflect the advantages of the new technology.
p>
For example, the hair dryer designed by George is a small handheld one, but in this era they all use metal casings, which cannot be lifted by ordinary people, and the metal ones also have the capacity to leak electricity, which is a safety hazard. Therefore, these factories have temporarily maintained
As is, no changes.
"Then these patents are already being applied for and should be available before the end of the month."
Before George went to college, he had left the patents for the agitator washing machine, the new hot and cold air blower, the new electric fan, and the closed electric water heater to Paul at once. When the materials were ready, he
Production can be arranged.
George contacted Leland again, and now the factory is improving the production line based on the new startup method designed by George. George decided that after the production line is improved, he will go to the factory to see it in person.
Then George remembered the two beverage factories. Instead of dictating the operation, George came up with the can design and asked Paul to apply for a patent as soon as possible. He was going to push it. Nowadays, aluminum alloy doors and windows can be seated. The main thing is ductility.
Question. George will be able to figure this out on his own if he studies for one more semester.
Then, George also asked Paul to collect information about some current regional banks and some banks that are about to fail. Since he is not ready to cooperate with Bank of America now, he naturally needs to find another one. There are many banks that have collapsed at this time, so buy one.
It won’t be a problem to open your own bank.
While George was dealing with the company's problems, Ryan and the others came back and brought back the person George was looking for. Ryan had been away for nearly a month this time, and it seemed that it was really hard to find him.
But looking at Philo Farnsworth's parents who came with him, I realized that it must have taken a lot of time to persuade his parents.
Several people sat down in the conference room and looked at the confident 14-year-old kid next to them. He was at least forty centimeters shorter than themselves and very thin.
And the parents next to him may be a little nervous as this is their first time in such a high-end place.
And Baird’s expectant expression.
George wasted no time and said directly: "First of all, welcome everyone. Now I announce the formal establishment of the imaging laboratory. Baird is the team leader and is responsible for the research and development of mechanical televisions. Paul is responsible for logistics and ensuring all the needs of the laboratory.
Recruit some scientific researchers to form a research and development team. Paul also arranged for Ferro to sign a directional training contract with the company, and then found him a school to continue high school. He could only participate in electronic television as an intern during the holidays.
Research and development. Your parents will be the company's specially hired people to take care of you. The company will distribute the money on time."
George looked around and said: "Paul is here, the laboratory is arranged here, but the security level must be high. No one is allowed to enter the laboratory except the experimenters. The content and progress of the experiment are not allowed to be mentioned to anyone."<
/p>
Confidentiality must be paid attention to. In the last life, because of Ferro's carelessness, he let a Russian commercial spy stay in his laboratory for several days, and finally gave the key drawings to Radio Corporation of America.
In the end, the father of television did not make any money from his patent.
The orientation training contract signed with Ferro is actually a disguised labor contract, but because Ferro is only fourteen years old, he can only change it this way. George does not want to be accused of employing child labor.
Then, after arranging for Ferro's parents to visit the house and school, several people discussed the future development and needs of the laboratory, and finally each performed his or her own duties.
George also specially arranged for Paul to arrange for someone to be responsible for Baird's diet. Before all the experimental equipment arrived, Baird was arranged to enter a sanatorium for recuperation, and all expenses were reimbursed by the company.
If Baird is moved so much, is this still a vampire capitalist? Haha, overthinking it, George just wants to raise him and live for a few more years so that he can continue to create wealth for him.
TV needs to be realized
After handing the matter over to Paul, George didn't ask any more questions. He took Ryan back to the villa. Seeing that it was almost time, he asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner, which was regarded as catching up with Ryan.
Since Ryan was arranged to search for Baird, the two of them haven't had a good dinner together for a long time. At the dinner table, Ryan picked up some interesting stories about what happened on the way to England and to find Ferro.
He told George. George also told Ryan some of his recent business affairs. The two of them chatted like family members and had a meal for more than an hour.
After taking a short rest after the meal, the two of them were still in the gym, discussing their recent training gains. Ryan may have no other worries, so he has made rapid progress. Coupled with the effect of the heart-shaped grass, Black Panther will definitely become a leader in the future.
He will no longer be his opponent.
The next day, George originally planned to go back to school, but a phone call from the Morgan family in the morning disrupted George's plan again.
On the other side, as soon as John Pierpont Morgan Jr. (also known as Little Morgan) entered the company's office, his secretary immediately handed over a stack of information. Little Morgan looked at it for a while and said, "Have the matter been cleared up?"
The secretary replied: "The cause of the matter was that Charlie of the family knew in advance that there would be a gold escort that day, and took advantage of the explosion to drive away three cars of gold from the convoy. Originally, he was planning to push the matter to the anti-government organization, but
There was a loophole in the matter. Three escort vehicles appeared at the intersection of two blocks afterwards, and the gold disappeared from the vehicles. The gold that was transported to the Ministry of Finance also disappeared from the temporary warehouse that night. This time, the government's losses totaled US$900 million."<
/p>
"Where are the people?"
"Charlie and all the people handling it have been put under control."
"Hand them over and make up for the loss of three carts of gold. The Morgan family doesn't need such fools."
"Okay, sir."
"In addition, if the FBI needs it, we will fully cooperate with them."
"Has there been any outcome to what Little John was asked to discuss before?"
"The other party arranged for Durant to talk to the other party, but I don't know what happened. Mr. Durant later reported that the other party had the intention to cooperate, but he had no right to agree to the request."
"Oh, do you know what the conditions are?"
"Well, the report said that it wants the shares of Morgan and the DuPont family."
"That's not a bad tone, but I think too highly of myself."
"Boss, the other party purchased a total of 1.8% of the shares from the stock market in the past two days, and then made no other moves."
After hearing the news, little Morgan raised his head and glanced at his secretary, thought about it seriously, and said to the secretary: "Ask him to come over in the afternoon, and I will meet him." After that, he waved his hand and asked the secretary to go out.
p>
"Yes, sir." Then slowly exited the office.
Little Morgan looked at the information about George in his hand and was also curious. What does this young man want? He doesn't really think that with the battery patent, he can get the shares of Morgan Bank, right? A person who can make up for the defects of the battery cannot be like this
Stupid. Because this matter is very important, in the end, little Morgan decided to come and see George by himself. As for the gold robbery, just hand over the person who caused the incident, and no one dares to blame their family anymore.
. What can be found out in the end has nothing to do with the Morgan family.
That afternoon, Little Morgan’s office
George came to Morgan Bank at the agreed time, met and exchanged greetings with young Morgan, and then sat down separately.
"George, I heard from Durant that you want to exchange your battery patent for shares in Morgan Bank and DuPont Group?"
"Haha, that's just a polite rejection of Mr. Durant's statement."
"Well, this matter should have been discussed with you by people from General Motors, but due to the special nature of this patent, you have other ideas, and I don't mind hearing them. Of course, if it is sold directly to Morgan
Family, then I will give you generous rewards."
Chapter completed!
