Chapter 50: Drawing land to collect money
Through yesterday's profit, George once again earned 100 million U.S. dollars. It can be said that this is the easiest time for George to make money. The ancestors said that there is a gold house in the book, but it is not wrong at all.
Although George once again made a fortune of 100 million this time, there was no report in the newspapers. Everyone now hopes to hide it as long as possible, so that they will have more room to operate.
However, the day after the contract was signed, I received another invitation to a party hosted by Morgan Bank. It was held just three days later at an estate of the Morgan family in New York.
On the day of the party, George wore a white suit and attended the party. Because George did not have a girlfriend, he did not bring a female companion. In fact, it is usually best to invite a lady to attend such a banquet.
This manor is located in the middle of Long Island, surrounded by green trees, with an elegant environment and good scenery. The manor covers an area of more than 500 acres, with 15 various buildings, three guest villas, private roads, artificial lakes, golf courses, and forest parks.
The main villa is a three-story building located on a hill, overlooking Long Island Sound. These were introduced to George by the butler who led the way.
After seeing this manor, George also came up with the idea of buying a manor. After all, the villa he lives in now is no problem to live in, but he will buy more antiques in the future, which will definitely not fit in the current villa.
.So it’s best to build a manor of your own. You can put all the things you want to collect in the manor. George kept this idea in mind and planned to see if there was any suitable place in the surrounding area when he had two days of free time.
At the dinner, George attracted a lot of attention as soon as he appeared. Most of them were women. Not having a female companion at the dinner itself was a sign of being single, and George looked so handsome now.
George had just taken out a cocktail from the waiter's plate. Little Morgan over there also saw George's arrival. George also saw little Morgan and raised the wine glass in his hand slightly in advance to show respect.
After George had dealt with the first wave of beauties who came to chat with him, little Morgan had already walked up to him and said, "How about George, do you have anyone you like? You young people should be bolder, someone as outstanding as you
, but it’s very popular. Haha!”
"I still have to study now, and there are still many things to deal with in the company. I really don't have time to have a girlfriend."
"Would you like me to introduce you to one? I have a niece who is the apple of our Morgan family's eye. She is about the same age as you. You can give it a try."
"Haha, thank you for your kindness. I don't want to fall in love yet. There are too many things going on recently."
"Okay, but I'll introduce you to you first when I get the chance. Haha, welcome, George." After that, he had a drink with George.
"It's an honor for me to receive the invitation!"
"Okay, I won't waste the time of those beauties. George, there is another reason for inviting you here today. I heard that you purchased several pieces of land recently, right?"
"Yes, both in California and Texas."
"George, you know, many people now call you Lucky Boy. Because there are gold mines discovered in California where you bought."
"Haha, yes, I am quite lucky." George replied.
"Well, that's it. George. Recently, the Rockefeller family contacted me and wanted to cooperate with you."
"They are engaged in oil, what opportunities can I have for cooperation with them?"
George knew about Rockefeller. His wealth reached an unimaginable level. As the "oil king", Rockefeller almost controlled the wealth code of the American oil industry at that time.
As the first billionaire in the United States in the 19th century, Rockefeller's life was full of legend.
He is not like other rich men who were born to stand on the shoulders of giants. Instead, he relies on his own hands and keen sense of smell to achieve success step by step.
His way of making money is admired by countless civilians. He was born in a poor town. His career efforts are almost entirely dependent on his own efforts. Because of this, in the eyes of many people, Rockefeller is the real money maker.
Hero.
Rockefeller's life is full of legend, and his success was both accidental and inevitable. He possessed wisdom and insight that was unmatched by ordinary people. He was not complacent about petty profits. In a war-torn era, he relied on his courage to survive.
Earning profits is really rare.
His experience could be written into a thick biography, and George admired him very much. The current head of the family is John "D" Rockefeller Jr.
"George, actually many people believe in your luck. Geologists have published articles before saying that there may be oil fields in Texas. So, if Rockefeller wants to meet you, how about it?"
"Okay, no problem. If there is an oil field, it would be an honor for me to cooperate with the Rockefeller family."
"Haha, okay, I'll let them contact you later."
"Okay, no problem."
"Okay, I won't waste your time anymore. Look, all the ladies around me are about to come over and chase me away. Haha, have fun." After saying that, he touched George, drank the wine in his hand, and turned around.
Left.
The next day, in the company office, there were information on more than 50 newspapers on the table. These newspapers were not the ones with the largest circulation in the area. They could only be said to be average. Because those with the largest circulation usually had people behind them.
One's own reliance. Either local chaebol or national family.
This involves the issue of the right to speak. Foreigners are also very good at playing public opinion wars. Today's social conditions cannot be as relaxed as in the 19th century. Various families have formed various trusts, but the intentions of each major family are still very obvious. Like DuPont
The family was in the gunpowder chemical industry and then plotted General Motors, the Morgan family's General Electric Company, United Steel Company, the Rockefeller family's Mobil Oil Company, and the Federal Reserve. Their plots can be seen from the names of these companies.

Therefore, George is going to start with public opinion. Establishing radio stations, developing televisions, including film companies, and now newspapers are all for this purpose. Some of the subtle brainwashing effects are very scary. Just like the effeminate culture in Asia in later generations, and the later generations.
The beautiful country’s propaganda for itself is to achieve a certain purpose through brainwashing.
With these preparations of his own, George feels that the brainwashing, um, spiritual spreading work will definitely be much smoother in the future.
George looked at the more than 50 newspaper materials in front of him, but did not read them carefully one by one, because it was completely unnecessary. He issued the newspaper's philosophy of authoritatively releasing national policies, quickly reporting on current affairs, rationally commenting on social and cultural hot spots, and objectively reflecting social sentiments.
After that, the newspaper office continued to operate.
"Playboy" had someone send a sample before. After reading it, George removed some meaningless filler articles and added a recommendation article introducing Lincoln's new car. Then he asked them to publish it according to this.
And George also asked the publisher to publish the book "Problems for Smart Children".
After returning to the villa, George received an invitation from the Rockefellers, inviting him to meet at the Rockefellers' manor.
The next day, the motorcade drove to the Rockefeller Estate. The Rockefeller family headquarters is in Westchester County, New York State, located on the upper reaches of the Hudson River, an hour's drive from Manhattan Island, New York. It covers an area of 3,400 acres and is comparable in size to a castle.
Small town. The main part of this manor was built by John Davidson Rockefeller, the founder of the family, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It is surrounded by gardens, fountains, racecourses and art sculptures, and the scenery is pleasant.<
/p>
The motorcade arrived at the entrance of Rockefeller Manor. There was already a group of people waiting to greet you. The butler looked into the car and said respectfully: "Is it Mr. George? The master asked us to welcome you here. Mr. George, please come in. The master is waiting for you in the lobby."
”
The motorcade entered the manor. As soon as the car stopped, the servant stepped forward and opened the door. George got out of the car and saw a middle-aged man standing in the hall. George walked over with a smile: "Mr. Rockefeller, nice to see you."
p>
George had seen information about this Rockefeller before. He was in his prime and an important figure in the Rockefeller family. He was the son and sole heir of John Rockefeller, the billionaire founder of Mobil Oil Company, and the father of the famous five Rockefeller brothers.
To distinguish him from his more famous father, known as "Little" John Rockefeller.
George's deepest impression of him is that little John has donated more than 537 million U.S. dollars to education, religion, culture, medical and other charitable organizations throughout his life. He is a rare sincere philanthropist among capitalists.
Rockefeller stretched out his hand to shake George's hand, and said with a smile: "Haha, I am very honored to meet you, a young and promising billionaire. Come, please sit down, and we will talk slowly. What do you want to drink?"
"Tea, thank you!"
"I also like to drink tea." Rockefeller took George to a small living room and sat down.
Neither the people brought by George nor the servants in the manor followed. Only the housekeeper stood aside from a distance.
"George, I am very interested in your land in Texas. Some experts have speculated before that there will be oil fields in Texas."
"But this is just unconfirmed news, isn't it?"
"Haha, I believe in your luck, but I don't know if you, George, are interested in working together?"
"No, I once said that only by making money together can we make our business bigger."
"Okay, it's good that you have this idea."
"The Rockefeller family has the most advanced oil detection technology in the United States. I believe that if there is really oil under my land, then it would be a good choice to cooperate with the Rockefeller family."
"So, do you have any opinions on cooperation?"
"Well, considering that it has not yet been proven whether there is oil, and the land itself is owned, I am willing to bear most of the risks. These are some cooperation terms I have prepared. You can take a look at these terms carefully.
This can avoid the early losses of Standard Oil to the greatest extent." After saying that, George handed over a contract that was created with many accountants and lawyers. Of course, now that George can cooperate with the Rockefeller family to share part of the oil profits,
Very good. If he didn't take into account the political capital behind these big families, he could leave anyone alone and go it alone. Even if the quality of the oil being mined is not up to standard oil processing standards, the advantage is that the quantity is large and the price can be lowered.
Digging a bloody path in the crude oil market.
But in this case, Standard Oil will definitely be severely impacted, which will form an irreconcilable hatred with the Rockefeller family.
In terms of force, George is definitely not afraid of these families, but as long as George is not ready to go against the government, some things cannot be erased. In terms of political capital, George is still too weak, and there is nothing he can do about it. Who can make him rich?
The time is still too short.
However, you still have to take advantage, so the contract appeared. Of course, this is only now, and you won’t be able to say that you will take advantage in the future. George said again: "Mr. Rockefeller, you know that I am studying biology.
