"Lift off!" Following Sheffield's command, the airship rose from the ground. Although it is huge, it does not occupy any space. It can take off and land vertically, which is an advantage of the airship. In fact, the airship can slowly decline and be replaced by passenger planes.

You can also retain some of your business.

But I have to say that the timing of the Hindenburg accident was perfect. It happened to be on the eve of the plane explosion, which caused an avalanche collapse of the airship market. In fact, this transition can be smoothed out!

But now in the United States at the beginning of the century, nothing was a problem. Although the cost of helium filling was a bit higher, compared with the construction cost of hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, this cost was not a big deal.

Furthermore, now that slave owners are talking about a billion-dollar deal, they have to show some sincerity. When a million-dollar airship is launched into the sky and suspended in mid-air, this condition is different.

"When the time comes, we will paint the front of our airship with a shark pattern. I will hand over the drawing to you and you can just make it according to it." Before entering the airship cabin, Sheffield patted his head and remembered why he always felt that

There was something missing. It turned out that the classic shark mouth spray paint was missing. He said that when he saw the airship, he always felt that something was wrong.

Some dried fruits and red wine are also stored in the airship cabin. The cabin does not look big under the fifty-meter-long airbag, but in fact the space inside is still very considerable. Louis boarded the airship for the first time and witnessed the liftoff.

Sam Morgan, still very new to everything, looked down at the cabin window timidly.

"Why is it a little hot in here?" Louisa Morgan covered her forehead, wearing a black mink coat that looked a little out of place.

"Helium heating can increase lift. Of course it is very safe. Helium is an inert gas and very safe." Sheffield took out two wine glasses and poured a glass for Louisa Morgan. "You should

You should be honored to be the first guest to board the airship besides our company."

"Louisa feels very honored!" Louisa Morgan took off her coat, clinked the wine glass with Sheffield, and said with a smile, "What a novel aircraft."

Can't the emotions of these women be more stable? It seems that not long has passed since the eyes of the woman in front of him were filled with tears. It was like...a few minutes ago! Sheffield drank the red wine helplessly and said, "Ms. Louisa, you

Yes, my brother and maybe my father are jealous of my business and want to make a profit. You can’t blame me for this? Don’t look at me like that. You know very well whether what I say is the truth or not!”

Sheffield, who withstood Louisa Morgan's glare, did not change his statement. He used some words to package what is an iconic stock in the stock market, and what kind of financial institution needs such a stock to exist. Of course, what he said is reasonable, and it is also

Part of the truth, but don’t you actually want to get a share of the pie?

If not? Why set up General Motors to compete? Of course, this cannot be blamed on the Morgan family. It was Sheffield who, during the World War, had a more favorable political environment for the United States and soared into the sky with the help of dual favorable environments.

Taking the initiative to find other powerful predators to help, I gave them the opportunity to submit documents.

In the final analysis, this is not like Anne said that she suffered a big loss, nor is it a matter of one party swallowing the other. Sheffield looks at this problem very calmly. The problem now is that his side has not felt anything about it yet. Louisa Morgan

I actually felt like I was at a disadvantage.

You must be reasonable in everything, Sheffield thought, and was quickly slapped in the face by the speed of light. Louisa Morgan said unconvinced, "But American International Shipping Company, I am in charge now, this will affect me."

"It seems that I overestimate the unity of the Morgan family!" Sheffield snorted and stopped Louisa Morgan's words directly, saying that he was not interested in whether the Morgan family had grievances between wealthy families or the secret history of the family.

The airship that disappeared many days ago appeared again from the sky above New York. This time the altitude was not very high. Once again it caused many citizens to look up at the stars. No one knew that there were two absolute upper-class people living on it.

"Now you still think it's too much, let me tell you, even if the United Motors Corporation is merged by Morgan Alliance, I will still retain more than 40% of the voting rights. On the contrary, if American International Shipping Company is under my name,

The voting power of the Morgan family must not exceed mine." Sheffield's old god said, "After listening to my words, do you think I am more greedy? Don't believe it, I will not change this request.

."

Shareholder voting rights are the rights of shareholders in a limited liability company or a joint stock company to vote on company affairs based on the shares they hold.

The size of the shareholder's voting rights depends on the equity held by the shareholder. In a limited liability company: shareholders exercise voting rights in proportion to their capital contribution at the shareholders' meeting; in a joint-stock company: shareholders attend the shareholders' meeting, and each share they hold has one vote. Ordinary

Each share generally represents one vote. Preferred shares have priority rights to dividends and remaining property.

In this way, major shareholders do not need to have controlling rights. As long as they have ordinary shares, they can influence the voting rights of the shareholders' meeting and thereby control the joint-stock company. The Ford family retains 40% of the voting rights.

Therefore, although Ford finally went public, it is still a listed company with a strong family business. The Ford family still has the influence of Ford Motor Company. Dong Ge, the founder of JD.com, holds more than half of the voting rights, reaching the level of controlling the company.

Purpose.

There are many benefits to controlling voting rights. Although many Korean chaebols in later generations paid a lot of taxes to Wall Street, they still controlled their own company's industry in essence. However, the profits must be given to Wall Street first for dividends, and the remaining money is considered their own.

Before being swallowed up by Wall Street, South Korea had laws that did not allow foreign capital to hold more than 5% of the shares of Korean companies. Of course, after the financial crisis, this no longer existed. South Korea's Daewoo Group, which did not hand over its shares, simply disappeared.

Sheffield did not assume the role of the Koreans in its joint company. Regarding the Morgan family's merger and acquisition, the slave owners did not feel coerced and could go back on their word at any time.

Talking to Louisa Morgan about this matter just shows the importance of retaining voting rights! Going public is not impossible, but control of United Motors must continue.

"I don't know much about these things, but I have a very simple feeling that you are very greedy." Louisa Morgan looked at Sheffield intently and said with emotion, "No wonder United Company is a second-rate company.

Under your leadership, it has reached its current scale in just a dozen years."

If you knew about the gold reserves in our basement, you would definitely not say that United Company is a second-rate company! Sheffield did not refute this ignorant woman, but said, "I don't have the ability to make more than 100 million yuan. Edith Rockefeller can lead

With a fortune of 30 million US dollars, do you want to take the initiative to have children with me?"

"What's the benefit of having children for you?" Louisa Morgan said sarcastically, "It's like asking for something in return. Only we women can be so stupid and lose our minds for the so-called love."

Sheffield rubbed his ears and said faintly, "The stocks in Edith Rockefeller's hands now are worth fifty million US dollars. If you ask me, she still has a good eye and can see that my gold will shine sooner or later. No, you don't

Look at me like this..."

In Little Morgan's office in the Morgan Building, several people stood by the window and happened to see the airship floating in the air. Little Morgan coughed before drawing the attention of several people back, cleared his throat and said, "Dear

Gentlemen, this business does not include the newly established United Airship Company. We have not yet seen the potential of this company."

The few people who came to Morgan Jr.'s office were all important representatives of the Morgan Alliance. There were nearly two hundred people from the Morgan Alliance who were qualified to come. Of course, Morgan Jr.'s office couldn't accommodate so many people, so they could only select a few important representatives.

Discuss this matter.

Some of them are bankers, some are insurance giants, and some are the bosses of electrical companies, but they are all part of the Morgan system that little Morgan is proud of.

After several important representatives sat down, Morgan Jr. revealed his thoughts on promoting the listing of United Automobile Company. Not surprisingly, everyone expressed a strong interest in this company that was like a money printing machine.

"I believe everyone knows that regarding the performance of United Automobile Company, as for why William said that we can talk about it, please don't ask me this question. I can only say that I also have to pay a price other than money." Little Morgan explained the reason in one stroke, emphasizing.

Talking about profits, "More than one million cars are sold every year, and the performance is even better than that of the original Carnegie Steel Company. Everyone should understand what this means. To be honest, do we have enough money for mergers and acquisitions?"

Before several representatives could speak, Morgan Jr. continued, "Let's put aside the huge M&A funds first. This is what I'm thinking about. We can use some industrial companies to exchange with William to ease our pressure on this M&A.

At present, I am planning to merge General Motors into United Motors Corporation at a discount. Of course, this is not enough. On the one hand, we need to raise funds, and on the other hand, we must conduct cross-shareholdings with William. Both aspects of preparation are

To do.”

"If we accept the premium from United Automotive Company, even if we spend one billion US dollars, how will we recover the cost and how far will we push the stock price? This is a very important question." A banker said with a frown.

"So William may not necessarily accept a billion dollars in cash. When money reaches a certain level, it will also cause fear to people." Morgan Jr. said that all the cash would pose a huge risk to both parties. Just leaving it there would be enough.
