Chapter 46 A batch of antiques

 George stayed at Lincoln Motor Company for three days, during which he also walked around the steel city of Detroit and found that some steel companies had stopped operating. It is normal to think about it. Starting from January this year, the United States

Steel workers held the largest nationwide strike in history. Its main purpose was to establish an eight-hour day and a six-day work week, and to demand an increase in wages and the abolition of company unions. On the one hand, the U.S. government dispatched a large number of troops to suppress the workers' strike.

, and killed 22 workers; on the other hand, it interfered with the employer and forced the employer to agree to cancel the 12-hour work system, but it did not meet the workers' requirement to organize their own union.

Of course, the final result is the outflow of American industry, with factories moving out of the United States in large numbers.

Opening a steel mill at this time is actually a good choice. However, during this period, the United Steel Corporation already existed, controlling 65% of the new output in the United States. This company was the first billion-dollar company in the United States spearheaded by the Morgan family.

level company. As your own automobile manufacturing company and aircraft manufacturing company become larger and larger, the demand for steel will definitely increase. Therefore, it is not impossible to consider opening a steel factory.

However, all the large iron ore mines in the United States have basically been explored. George couldn't help but set his sights abroad. Moreover, Paul came from a mining company, so there is nothing wrong with asking him to take charge of this matter.

Keep this in mind. George asked Paul to go back to New York first, as he still had things to do. In fact, George flew for two more days to deliver the drinks for December. Two days later, George returned to New York and collected the wine.

A check for 1.8 million to Tessieur.

After George returned to New York, he only stayed for one night and then returned to school. This time he was out for a month, which was indeed a bit long. But there is still a university here, and there are holidays such as Thanksgiving in between. So there is no

It caused George too much trouble. Maybe it was because he didn’t have the habit of celebrating foreign festivals, and he was alone, so he really had no idea about celebrating festivals.

After returning to school, I took a week of classes with peace of mind and spent a long time in the laboratory. Because there were experimental steps that George almost copied directly, this experiment is just to supplement some specific data for George. So the progress is very fast.

Fast.

Time is always in such a hurry, and it came to Christmas Eve. After the school holiday, George returned to New York. In the past two days, Leland also published a newspaper in the largest newspaper in New York for three consecutive days based on what George said.

.

Almost everyone around is talking about the news headlined "A New Revolution in the Automobile Industry" published in the newspaper.

George did not go to the site to see the sales on Christmas Day. However, after the event, Leland reported to George on the phone that 30 cars in each city in 25 cities had been sold out, and there were 5,000 cars left.

Ordering. In other words, all VIP cards given out are at least one car per person.

Moreover, all these cars were paid in cash. According to the price of one car of 1,600 US dollars, George earned more than 9 million in sales. Of course, the net profit is definitely not that much. But its ability to attract money is obvious.

Yiban.

In the past year, George had been buying military industrial companies, beverage companies, and automobile manufacturing companies. If he hadn't taken advantage of the opportunity of the stock market crash, he wouldn't have been able to withstand what he did.

The slogan that George asked Leland to promote was that, except for customized cars, Lincoln would only produce 10,000 units of each model. Moreover, only those with VIP cards could own it.

So how can you get a VIP card? It's very simple. In addition to spending money in Lincoln, you also need to have a certain status, and then two cardholders recommend you, and then you can get a temporary card. Now on the market

All cards are temporary cards. Temporary cards will be canceled after half a year. If you want to get a VIP card again, you need to pay a membership fee of US$500 per year. During this year, you can enjoy free car washing, maintenance and other services.

After Christmas, George called Paul and told him to fully acquire a mining company as soon as possible and have a complete exploration team. Then he would buy a newspaper in thirty cities across the country. The requirement was that the newspaper must be complete and a newspaper must be acquired.

Film company.

Acquired another publishing house. Since the publication of "Of Mice and Men", another "Problems for Smart Children" has not been published. Including the previously prepared "Harry Potter" are still in the space

You can publish them yourself. The publishing house is not expensive anyway. If you buy one, you can publish your own works in the future.

What's more important is that in this era, there is no Playboy, the most famous adult magazine in the previous life. I can definitely get him out first. The newspapers and periodicals in this era are famous for their vulgar and pornographic content, and they have no understanding of men's hearts.

So George felt it was his responsibility to set him up.

After waiting for many years, Stark was replaced by the cover of his own magazine. Haha, look at him still being arrogant.

After Christmas, car manufacturing companies successively approached Panlong Company through various relationships and wanted to discuss the use of several car patents with George. Some foreign car brands also sent people to negotiate.

In order to avoid the trouble of family negotiations, George asked all the car brands that Paul notified, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, etc., a total of 20 companies to arrive.

Parked in the middle of the temporarily rented banquet hall of the Plaza Hotel is a model that Lincoln just launched some time ago. Its appearance is based on a model that George Bentley launched in 1926. Its brand-new 6597cc overhead camshaft inline 6-cylinder engine

, each cylinder has four valves, the standard model can produce 140 horsepower, and its maximum power reaches 180 horsepower. The appearance is absolutely luxurious and beautiful, making everyone who sees it fall in love with it.

This time, Paul gave the explanation, introducing the new technology used in the entire car and inviting people to experience it. Although he could not drive, there was no problem with starting the car, adjusting the seats and other functions.

Among the representatives of these automobile companies, except for General Motors, which is half its own company and has obtained the right to use the patent at a price of 10% of each car, other companies are today's target customers.

After leaving all this to Paul to discuss, George was pulled aside by Morgan Jr. and Dupont.

George didn't expect these two to appear together today, but other car companies also need battery technology, so their arrival was a success.

Just think about the profits. Then George's patent royalties from General Motors are 10%. You can see it through a little comparison. General Motors also owns Chevrolet, Fisher and other brands. Ford Motor Company competes with him.

In 1918, a T car rolled off the assembly line every ten seconds.

Calculated based on eight hours of working time, 2,880 Model T cars roll off the assembly line every day. Each car costs US$350, which is 1 million 8,000 US dollars, and one-tenth of it is 100,000 US dollars.

To put it simply, the Ford Model T alone needs to pay George US$25 million in royalties every year.

Let’s change another set of data. The number of automobiles sold in the United States in 1930 was 2.33 million units. This is just automobiles. There is no statistics on the number of military vehicles, so who wouldn’t be jealous of such a company that produces golden eggs?

But is 100 million U.S. dollars in annual patent fees a lot? It seems like a lot in this era, but in later generations, Qualcomm charges China 30 billion in patent fees on one technology every year. So George is negotiating with Paul over there.

People don’t have any sympathy, and they still think they are too kind.

However, for this kind of income that is already transparent, there is really no way to get others to accept your investment.

"George, this time you can directly surpass the century-old accumulation of our DuPont family!"

"Haha, Mr. Pierre has won the prize. This income will only be collected for 20 years. How can the DuPont family, as a century-old family, take a fancy to this thing? What's more, the battery business that can really make money is the three of us together.

Collaborative."

"Haha, win-win cooperation."

"As for the battery, thank you very much for giving everyone this opportunity." Morgan Jr. said.

"I have always believed that only by working together can we make our business bigger," George said with a smile.

"It is really rare that you can have this understanding at such a young age. Many people do business until they are old and cannot understand this truth. Only by uniting can we make more money," Dupont said.

"George, what's your next plan?" After saying that, the two old foxes stared at George.

"Well, the economic crisis this year is very serious. Two days ago, I saw a professor in California who was planning to build a California city. After seeing this, I also want to build a city of my own, so the next step is to find a place.

Buy a piece of land and build a city."

"Haha, you young people can really mess around. But my family has a construction company in my name. If necessary, we can cooperate again." Little Morgan immediately answered the call.

"Haha, okay, but I haven't chosen a place yet. Maybe I'll find a desert like California City and have a look around then." George replied with a smile.

"Of course, you are still young and have a lot of time. However, if you have any money-making projects next time, don't forget us."

"Of course, it's very pleasant for us to cooperate like this time, isn't it?"

"Yes, then I wish us a happy cooperation next time." After saying this, the three of them laughed.

The next day, all newspapers in New York reported on the largest patent fee incident in the history of the United States. Only then did George, the billionaire, really come into people's view, and his experience was exposed.

Descendants of heroes, luckiest boy, youngest billionaire and other titles are all placed on George's head.

George also inadvertently revealed the idea of ​​building his own city. Many newspapers also sang the opposite, saying that George was rebellious and would fail.

However, George just smiled and did not react at all when he saw the report.

On the second day of the patent incident, George began to find that there were a bunch of reporters everywhere, and it was really inconvenient to be alone. Moreover, more than one hundred Panlong security personnel in Lane had already completed three

Months of training.

Paul bought a bankrupt clothing factory and the surrounding vacant land in the suburbs, covering an area of ​​more than 30 acres, and used it as a training camp for Panlong Security.

This time, George specially mobilized five people to work as a team to protect his own safety. Of course, it was just a show. If something happened, he wouldn't know who would protect whom.

The next day, George arrived. A pharmaceutical company that had just been acquired was directly renamed Panlong Pharmaceutical by George. It is hard to imagine what it was like ten years ago when beverage companies such as Coca-Cola were promoted as good medicines for curing diseases.

This company is prepared for the future production of penicillin. This thing is definitely not something that I can control alone, but as one of the discoverers, I must get the maximum benefit.

After the acquisition was completed, George just gave a health product formula for Xiaoshi tablets.

This kind of thing does not require drug testing. As a health food, it can be easily put on the market. The formula is also very simple. Hawthorn and other fruits that stimulate digestion are made into a puree, shaped and dried. Anyway, it will not kill people, so many
