Chapter 131 full of energy
Edison's public apology can be said to be more formal than human, or it can be said that he does not have a deep understanding of politics. In short, this is no longer a technical dispute between Edison and Tesla, but the consequences are far more profound than the consequences of the current war.
This time the bloodshed has begun, and more people have understood that the topic of civil war can no longer be touched upon.
Hitting the wall of political correctness was like Edison paying his tuition. Compared with the celebration of a certain Texas landowner, the real leader of General Electric is still thinking deeply about the logical chain relationship.
"Father, it seems like there is no way to stop the voltage standards in the southern states? You can't think of a way!" In the office dedicated to Morgan, there was only one person who dared to interrupt the big man's thinking. In Morgan's eyes, he was a very qualified heir.
His son Morgan Jr.
Morgan, who was standing by the bed, slowly came back to his senses, looked at his son who was very curious about knowledge, a smile appeared on his face, and said slowly, "If there is growth, there will be decline. Don't be anxious about anything. I
Son, I have been very satisfied with your growth over the years, and I believe that in your hands, the family's industry will never be the same as that of the Vanderbilt family. When the old Vanderbilt closed the railroad bridge in New York and looked at New York
The citizens grovel at their feet, which is certainly very satisfying, but they are met with gnashing hatred. Just because things are not going well for a while does not mean it will never go well.”
"Father, I'm also afraid that the progress in the electrical field will not go well and it will bother you!" Little Morgan bowed his head respectfully. He has always been convinced of his father's keen judgment and did everything possible to make his father look at him differently.
"If the electrical field is not going well, you can look at other fields. I am not idle! Any industry needs to be put in order. And I am not the most insightful person. I went to New Orleans when I was young and the most insightful person
The person with the most insight is Lady Anna's husband!" Morgan shook his finger, denying the heir's compliment, and seemingly recalling, "Do you know anything about the Sheffield family?"
"The Sheffield family should be the largest private landowner in the United States. No one knows the size of their private land. They have extensive influence in the south, and the person in charge of the industry is Mrs. Anna." Little Morgan frowned and said a few words before asking.
He said, "Is there anything else?"
"You're right, no more!" Morgan acknowledged the young Morgan's answer, and then changed the subject, "Actually, this big Texas landowner was not like this thirty years ago. Their family's industry
Of course, it was also managed by a man, but this man was injured while participating in the civil war and died not long after."
"If he is still alive, his insight is better than mine. When he is alive, he can amass wealth far faster than I am." Morgan shrugged and said with an indifferent expression, "Mrs. Anna is just holding on to this inheritance.
Man is not the one who created it. Do you think this is very successful? My son, I don't want you to just inherit my extremely rich property, but also to create more wealth."
"If I use the power of my allies to encircle and suppress the capital, of course I will win, but there are also variables, that is, how deep is the cooperation between the Rockefeller family and the Sheffield family, and will they help? Under normal circumstances, it should be
No, but I don't have much contact with Rockefeller. We are leaders in different industries, so I can't predict his thoughts. If I try my best to compete with the two families, it seems not worth it, so I am a little hesitant!"
Morgan narrated his current troubles to young Morgan in detail, which fully reflected the importance he placed on heirs. "A family like the Sheffield family that is rooted in the land may not seem like much. But if you want to
It is even more difficult to defeat. Land is the most real property. It may not be easy to make money, but it is difficult to uproot it. It cannot be done with one or two mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations."
Young Morgan nodded solemnly. He completely believed that what his father said was true. If calculated based on the property in his name, the wealth in Morgan's hands may not be as good as that in the hands of old Rockefeller. But if you include Morgan's connections in people's eyes,
In other words, the Morgan Alliance in the popular sense is different.
As a banker, Morgan's position in the financial industry is that he can use capital flows that far exceed those of the other party. The financial industry itself does this, but after all, this money is not his own. He can deal with ordinary opponents, but if he is too strong,
Opponents. Alliance members are alliance members, and they also need to consider risks.
Finally, little Morgan sighed, regained his calm expression and said, "Then let's put the electrical field aside for now. Anyway, there are other industries that can be invested in."
"No, it's okay to make some harmless jokes, and there are people who are more willing to do this than us. We just need to give them a little support." A mysterious smile appeared on Morgan's face, "But all this and
We have nothing to do, and we can’t find our heads. It’s lunch time, let’s chat while eating, and learn to relax!”
Soon, Morgan pulled his heir out of the office, and some nagging could still be heard, "You have to learn to enjoy life. You can never make enough money. Of course, you can't miss the opportunity. Now is the wrong time!"
Thousands of miles away in the Texas prison, the pot-bellied warden McAdams walked up to the high platform in a flash. It was indeed a little embarrassing for him with a figure of his size. But it didn't matter, he was also for Sheffield many years ago.
The people who worked hard and shed blood in the United Company finally got the treatment of "I want to see the boss" and became the absolute masters of private prisons.
A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. Although McAdams may not necessarily know this sentence, it does not delay his loyalty to the United Company, and this time is just a new opportunity.
"You bastards, pigs, scum, look what is this?" With a rational opening statement, McAdams held up the commutation notice in his hand, which immediately caused thousands of criminals to fall silent and listen attentively, even if they could not see it.
The warden in front of him was cursing himself.
"You spend every day in prison in a daze, and every bastard wants to get out one day early. But now this opportunity has come. Time, the most precious thing, is now in my hands, and your name can
If you can't put it on it, you need to work hard on your own!" McAdams seemed to be holding a Bible, at least in the eyes of criminals, and the Bible was not so precious.
"If you want to regain your freedom one day early, you have to work hard. If you can meet my requirements, speak up now!" McAdams waved the commutation notice in his hand, "Did you hear..."
"Hear that!" shouted thousands of workers looking at McAdams' hands with burning eyes.
