1855 United States Tycoon

Morgan was silent for a while, then raised his head, staring into Scrooge's eyes and asked: "Scrooge, do you really think you can do all the business by yourself?"

"How is this possible?" Scrooge said, "If I really want to do this, I will become the enemy of all businessmen. Even if I am strong, it is not wise to be an enemy of so many people at the same time. Choice. This time, if it weren't for my luck, I'm afraid it's all over. I won't be so lucky next time."

Having said that, Scrooge saw that Morgan seemed to want to say something, so he smiled at him, and then said: "Mr. Morgan, you know, among all the United States tycoons, the defense force around me is the strongest. This is not my boast, but an undisputed fact, right? But before this attack, my security system had not received any alerts. This is very abnormal. It depends on the DuPont family. Remnants, coupled with an outcast character like Stanford, is very difficult to do."

Speaking of this, Scrooge stared closely at Morgan's eyes, so that Morgan's face turned pale. Morgan said, "Scrooge, I...we..."

"Ah, my friend." Scrooge suddenly laughed. "I never doubted that you and your friends would directly participate in such things. Because we are all wise people. This is too risky. . Moreover, the risk is own, but the benefit is everyone’s. I will do such a thing if I am stupid. I am you, and I will not be directly involved in such a thing. Are you right? Of course, if There are really fools who want to do this, and I am happy to see it. I even indulge them inadvertently, guide them, do something to help them divert the attention of the gluttonous Scrooge What, because the risk is much smaller, and once successful, I can easily get the most benefit."

"Scrooge, you think too much." Morgan had calmed down at this time.

"Oh, Mr. Morgan, maybe I really think too much." Scrooge said with a gentle smile, "but it's you instead, wouldn't you think that way when you were in my position? We? Be honest, because it’s too difficult for us to deceive each other. It’s better to save a bit of effort.”

"But you fooled me like a fool this time." Morgan said with a wry smile.

"That's a special case," Scrooge said.

"If I continue to expand, then there will be more than one person who will hit my black gun. During the development of the McDonald family, we no longer know how many DuPont and Stanford have been crushed. For example, if I’m now taking advantage of your losses and attacking the Realm you control, and maybe I can make a fortune. But the next time someone wants to assassinate me, your participation may be much greater. I may not be able to hide. It has to pass. And my successor has not grown up, and there are no candidates around me who can support the family when I am away. I cannot take such a risk. Therefore, the rapid expansion of the MacDonald Consortium must come to an end. . At least before my successors grow up. Even, I will let the consortium shrink relatively, and list some of the companies that need to expand now, and make them public companies, of course, this'public' I think you should understand the meaning of. What I mean is that people who participate can make money, but I will not give up control easily. Just like your control of your power. For example, the automobile industry is so.

When I promoted the auto industry, I didn't foresee such a situation. Now that the expansion of various industries has begun, it can't be stopped, so it can only be dealt with by such means. Anyway, the upstream and downstream of the automotive industry are controlled by me. Through it, I can also continue to gain benefits through other industries. Speaking of which, your way of relying on small funds and controlling huge power over the years has also given me a lot of inspiration. Scrooge said quite sincerely.

"I admit that if you didn't suffer this blow. When your consortium stopped expanding or even turned to contraction, I could do a lot of things." Morgan also said frankly, "but now, my appeal has been received. Certain influence. Although, my leadership position has not been shaken, because for the time being, no one can replace me. But if I want to organize an action against your consortium, the frightened guys may not follow. I am. But I dare say that you don’t want to, or even dare to enter the financial industry on a large scale right now? So, at least for the time being, we seem to be able to cease the war."

Although Scrooge severely placed one, Morgan's heart was by no means free of grievances. Even, if there is a lamp god or something popping up in front of him now, claiming that it can help him realize his three wishes. I'm afraid Morgan would say his first wish without even thinking about it: "Let Scrooge die!" However, in a sense, he and Scrooge are loyal to those realities. People in the interests of. Those who like or hate, justice or evil, are meaningless to them. In a sense, they are all praised by Nietzsche through Zarathustra, loyal to the "land" (that is, the reality of reality) rather than the "sky" (a variety of self-deception ideas in the afterlife) ) "Superman". Therefore, the little things left by human beings, likes and hats, and faces, are of no importance at all.

"Yes, at least while you were still alive, I didn't dare to do this. But you and I both have a big advantage and a big weakness-we have no spares. This reduces the danger of internal family struggles, but it also increases Our own danger. And how our heirs are still uncertain. You know, in history, the father is a great hero and the son is a fool. There are many examples. Ah, at this point, your situation Worse than me. I have a son, a nephew, and a niece. There may be more in the future. It is more likely that a strong person will grow from it. And you? You only have one son. This What kind of son will grow into in the future, who knows? Can they keep this wealth, or will they lose their lives because of the drag of this wealth? You know, after the death of Alexander the Great, his posthumous child What's the end of the game?" Scrooge said rather harshly. Although the son of Morgan in history later grew into a great vampire king, the son was born to Morgan and his later wife. According to the original history, Morgan's first wife, Mimi, should have died of lung disease long ago. However, the current son was born to Mimi. And because the mother's health is not good, the child is also lack of Xiantian, and the physical condition has not been good.

"So for the future, I have a long-term idea." Scrooge said."What thoughts?" Morgan asked. This problem is also a problem that has always plagued him.

"Just like we need to hide behind the scenes more politically. Economically, the same is true." Scrooge said to Morgan. "Think about how perfect our political system is. The president is also good. The congressmen and congressmen are all selected by us first. They are all our representatives. Their major political and economic decisions are actually subject to our influence or control. What is the bad thing that offends others? Suppressing workers, fighting civil wars, starting wars, etc., are all done by them. Any political actions are all about the balance and distribution of interests. No policy will not offend people. Those ignorances The anger of human beings will be directed at the president or the governor. When something really goes wrong, we will pass democratic elections, change parties, and change representatives. Everything will be fine. This What a perfect design. Why don’t we do the same economically? You know, wealth can cause envy and envy everywhere. So, it needs to be hidden. Hide behind the scenes and don’t stay in the spotlight on the stage anymore. Below, it should be like a real director, hiding behind the stage, but controlling all the words and movements of the actors. The fools watching the show point to the actors and appraise them, but they always know how Forget, there is a director hidden behind all this. A good hunter always hides himself."

"What do you mean... you intend to use a complex portfolio of holdings to transform those companies that were originally clearly under McDonald's into larger, but seemingly more dispersed, listed companies?" Morgan Congshi Gao Zhi's description suddenly smelled of business opportunities.

"Yes." Scrooge replied.

"For example, McDonald Steel's original shareholding structure was very clear, that is, the McDonald family occupies 80% of the share, and the absolute advantage holds it. In the future, it will become 10% of the McDonald family. And the other companies under the control of the McDonald family are 5%, that 8%, and finally 80% together? And so are the so-called heads of companies controlled by the McDonald family, the McDonald family Ten percent, and then other companies controlled by the McDonald consortium will total 70%, add up to 80%, and then continue the cycle?" Morgan asked?

"Almost, but 80% is too much, and more than 51% is enough. Mr. Morgan, look at how you do it, so that you and I can really hide from the stage. "Scrooge asked.
