Chapter 154: Do not play cards according to the routine
In this era of mergers and acquisitions by giants, it is normal for the big fish to eat the small fish, and the small fish to eat the shrimp. It happens every moment in the United States, and Sheffield also believes that the accuracy of his mergers should exceed everyone else's.
. So I have no objection to the growing beverage industry.
If the capital flow in his hands is sufficient, he would also like to imitate Morgan and develop into all walks of life, euphemistically known as rectifying the order of the industry, but doesn't he have money? Morgan's kind of mergers can be learned by ordinary people, no
When it comes to the question of who has a richer fortune, Morgan himself or Rockefeller Sr., Morgan himself is in the financial industry, and the Morgan Alliance behind him is too powerful.
Fortunately, the Morgan Alliance also targets different targets. If a strong industry leader is unwilling to be merged, Morgan has no choice. However, no matter what class of people they are in, most people want to cash out and leave. In the end, even
The Steel King has chosen to do this, and except for a very few people, no one can really refuse Morgan.
The advantage now is that Sheffield understands that pure asset-heavy families like his own and the DuPont family are actually in the corner that Morgan ignores the most. The financial industry always has to consider the speed of capital return. In fact, if the Carnegie family had not
I felt that it had reached its limit, so I finally took the initiative to cash out and leave the market. If I were to hold on to Morgan's US dollars, Morgan actually had no good solution.
"Father, the capital flow of the supermarket chain is so strong. I must admit that William is a very powerful heir, different from his father." Young Morgan told about his recent observations and was very interested in the idea of Sheffield's supermarket chain.
It’s admiration, “How about we get involved too?”
"No, there will be more people entering the market next. It's too chaotic to grasp the accurate context." Morgan looked at his son and shook his head slightly, "This is not in line with my original intention of establishing an order in the industry. I still have to wait.
It’s better to wait.”
"But the capital flow of supermarket chains is indeed huge. If we enter the market now, maybe we can get a piece of the cake?" Even when facing his own father, the biggest overlord in the financial industry still insists on his opinion.
But as his father, Morgan was equally stubborn and did not agree with the idea of an heir. Instead, he asked, "Maybe? As a financier, you can't have the idea of maybe. And do you know who your opponent is? You don't understand the past.
I don’t know what the strength of your opponent is. You don’t know anything, so maybe you can just rely on it?”
"Father, you said that the Sheffield family was very rich..." Little Morgan recalled the story of coffee beans told by his father in New Orleans.
"But you don't know how rich his family is. Let me tell you a simple fact. Before the Civil War, there were only three millionaires reported in the newspapers at that time. Even if there were no statistics, there were no more than two millionaires at most.
Ten people, most of them are southern plantation owners. The wealth of the Sheffield couple is above this, so both of them have a million-dollar fortune." Morgan looked at his son indifferently and said,
"And how many millionaires are there in the press in the United States now? Over three hundred, and how many of them have not been discovered?"
"Father, that was all in the past. Thirty years have passed." Little Morgan hesitated and said, "There are two facts that are indisputable. The richest people in the United States now are those who own factories.
The people who owned mines, railroads, and city property instead of those who owned plantations and farms, industry amassed wealth at a rate that exceeded all previous achievements in wealth accumulation in history. Times have changed, and the era of southern planters has passed
Gone. When the Civil War passed, there were very few planter aristocrats left."
"But if you want to open a supermarket chain and control the capital flow, you will face the remaining one. His family did not run to Brazil after the defeat. It has always been in Texas." Morgan chuckled and then said.
I was tired of this topic, so I changed the subject, "Now many industry giants are sharpening their knives. I have to say that the heirs of Sheffield United Company have subverted an industry with their keen eyes, but this is temporary. Friends and
The boundaries between enemies are very blurred. For example, those in Boston used First Bank of Boston to finance electrification promoted by the Sheffield family, but they are also preparing to open a chain of supermarkets recently. You don’t know about this, right?”
Seeing little Morgan shaking his head, Morgan looked like you wouldn't know at a glance, "So the boundary between friends and enemies is very blurred. On the one hand, Boston Bank's financing for electrification seems to be helping the Sheffield family resist my pressure. At the same time,
It is also to share our own pressure. On the other hand, when it comes to supermarket chains, the two companies have become rivals again. How can there be so many clear boundaries? It's all about me and you."
"But if you have to do something active, you should try the opponent's quality on our home court. For a long time, the Sheffield family has not had a listed company, which also makes the assessment of their strength only estimate. This time, the small brand Coca-Cola is in the stock market.
Among them, if you have nothing to do, you can also practice your skills by playing a game." Morgan looked at his son who wanted to show off his skills and gave his own advice. At least in the financial industry, there will be no chaos in the chaos.
go.
"Actually, I also want to know, will this little guy let people from Boston enter? It's very confusing. Those companies in Boston are helping their family with financing." Morgan shook his head and smiled, seeming to be trapped in the troubles of happiness.
Most people cannot enjoy the joy of sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight. Morgan is very happy that he is in this position.
In fact, some people entered the market earlier than Bostonians. Several supermarkets appeared in the vicinity of the Sheffield supermarket chain in New York in almost a short period of time. The sales model is similar to the Sheffield chain supermarket. Most supermarkets are within a distance of Sheffield.
There are supermarket chains that are far away and maintain calm restraint, but there is one that opens directly next to the Sixth Avenue supermarket.
The people behind this first supermarket to enter the market came from the Vanderbilt family, which surprised Sheffield because many of the properties used by supermarket chains in New York were purchased from the Vanderbilt family.
What does this mean? You use your own funds to buy real estate to open a chain of supermarkets to deal with yourself? Do you want to show off your face? Are you paying attention to the unity of capitalists?
Sheffield had just been happy for a few days when something like this happened. In Edith Rockefeller's villa, she smeared honey on her mouth and breathed out the fragrance, "A group of losers are having a nice cocktail party and picking up women. Come out at this time."
What are you talking about? Spending money like water, buying all kinds of things, not only European palaces, churches, monasteries, castles and studios, but also looking for statues, paintings, pottery, carpets and all other works of art. Anyway, they have money and spend it hard.
Ah. Oriental porcelain, Indian gold jewelry, who stopped you? Why are you here without doing your job?"
A series of English and local words, mixed with Sukabulie's continuous outbursts from Sheffield's mouth, expressed his dissatisfaction with a family that enjoys life but does not do its job properly.
"If it doesn't work, just do charity. Restaurant owners, shopkeepers, artists, writers, speakers, art dealers, musicians, tutors, beggars, there are many people waiting for the leftovers..."
These words hit a wide range of people. Even the owner of this villa, Edith Rockefeller, belonged to the Vanderbilt family. Edith Rockefeller was decked out in jewels and brought jewelry collected from Europe.
came the housekeepers, and European artists were brought to design and decorate their houses,
"This is the Dixie people!" Edith Rockefeller saw Sheffield spitting out the fragrance, and finally matched the image of the other party with the southern Dixie people in her impression. This is the real Dixie people. As for the usual
Being self-restrained is just like pretending to be unfaithful to myself before.
"How about we hire a detective from the Detective Bureau to go and find out?" Edith Rockefeller finally waited until Sheffield was tired and suggested with a smile.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Sheffield sat up straight and meticulously. Ever since Edith Rockefeller heard that her graceful curves inspired the slave owner's creativity to make Coca-Cola bottles, her attitude has softened a lot. The dominance gradually gradually
The transfer to Sheffield gave the slave subject an authority that even her husband did not have.
When Edith Rockefeller was considering whether to give in, Sheffield nodded and said, "It's okay to do some research. Our family really doesn't have any reliable channels in the northern states. The agricultural and animal husbandry associations are all eyeing competitors in the agricultural and animal husbandry industry.
We have turned a blind eye to many of United’s competitors, and this should really change.”
"I'm not afraid of the Vanderbilt family. The main reason is that they don't regard money as money. I can't predict their actions. What if they just come in for fun and I play house with them?" Sheffield also said
Don't forget to explain the gaffe you just made.
"Yes, you are right!" Edith Rockefeller picked up the phone, waited for a while and said, "Can you ask the boss of the largest detective bureau in Chicago to come over?"
"You seem to be familiar with this business?" Sheffield raised his eyebrows, feeling that this was not Edith Rockefeller's first time dealing with the Detective Bureau.
"Of course, I'm getting divorced. Can't I make some preparations earlier?" Edith Rockefeller snorted and whispered, "If you lose your property, it will also be your loss. I can only help if I have money.
You."
"Yeah!" Sheffield nodded lazily, as if he didn't want to continue working hard, and accepted this set of remarks.
