1855 United States Tycoon

"Bellman, look, Lincoln!" The car fan Mavis opened his eyes wide and stared closely at the three cars coming in the distance. It is a very special car. Although it is called a sedan, the length of the body is more than seven meters. Among the sedan, it is definitely a big one. Even when compared with the general light truck, it is not inferior. The most conspicuous thing on the front of the car is the silver-plated waterfall-like heat dissipation grid. Above the grid is the same silver-plated triangular roof-like connection. From a distance, the grids are like pillars supporting the roof. , And the entire front of this car is like the front of the White House. At the highest point of the roof on the front, there is a statue of Liberty made of 18K gold.

"Berman, that's Lincoln Yee! The most luxurious car in the world!" Marvis's eyes shone brightly. "You know, this car has two tons of armor and the windows are bulletproof. The doors of the car open like a carriage. The seats inside are the best sofas, and the panels decorated inside are made of the best leather or the most high-end wood. It is said that Volkswagen presented the car to the President of the United States. The cherry wood on the armrests of Lincoln’s sofa is the same tree that President Hua Shengton cut down..."

"Come on, do you believe in this kind of thing? President Hua Sheng Tun was a child when he cut the cherry tree. Can the cherry tree he can cut with an axe be thick with your little finger? Let's not talk about it. Was Duan Mujube taken by his mother a long time ago and burned for lunch, even if it is still there, that thing can be used as a sofa armrest? You might as well say that the leather on the sofa in the car was peeled off from the sitting cow. That’s more credibility. Besides, just take a look at this car. You are not a rich man, but you can’t afford this car. You, you don’t even have enough money to buy a Beetle, so don’t think about it. Berman replied disapprovingly, putting his hands in his pants pockets.

"It's okay to see..." Marvis continued to stare at the three Lincolns with wide-eyed eyes. "Berman, you say, who is this, so rich, one guy bought three?"

"Who knows, it's not the rich people anyway, well, except for the famously mean old Mr. Rockefeller, it's possible." Berman turned his eyes away and said, "Don't look, Marvis, I won’t be able to catch the bus anymore."

...

The three Lincolns took a turn and drove forward for a while, and drove into a small but very high fenced yard with barbed wire and guard towers on the fence. This is the home of the old Mr. Rockefeller.

After the car drove into the yard, the thick iron gate was closed, and then the people in the two cars in front and behind got out of the car quickly, and then a man in a servant uniform came up and opened the middle car. The opposite door of the car. Grey Stone got out of the car slowly.

"The yard of Uncle Rockefeller's is a bit too small, plus the wall is so high, and there are power grids and guard towers on the fence. It's no wonder Dad always laughs at Uncle Rockefeller for turning his house into a Manhattan federal prison." Ge Although it was not the first time for Le Stone to come to Rockefeller's house, every time he entered the yard, he would think of Scrooge's mockery of Rockefeller.

Corresponding to the "Manhattan Federal Prison", of course, the "Federal Prison" uses vehicles. Similar to Scrooge, the vehicles used by Rockefeller are also bulletproof for safety reasons. However, this is the point of similarity between the cars used in the Manhattan Federal Prison and Greystone’s current cars. In general, the Macdonald’s armored luxury cars, while Rockefeller’s The truck is armored.

"Grassdon Uncle!" A teenage lady was walking over, "Grandpa asked me to welcome you."

This is Hill Rockefeller, Rockefeller's grandson.

"Hill, is your grandpa okay this time?" Grey Stone hadn't been here for months, so he asked.

"Grandpa has always been in good health." Hill replied.

Hill took Greystone into the small building, went up to the second floor, and came to a small living room. He saw Old Rockefeller sitting there and reading today's newspaper.

"Hello, Uncle Rockefeller." Grey Stone said quickly.

"Ah, Greystone, have you been playing with China again recently?" Rockefeller put down the newspaper in his hand and said to Greystone, "To be honest, I really don't understand why you put so much attention on China? China It may be important in the future, but now, I think it’s a bit early. But your father is always better than me, maybe he has own ideas. Well, sit down with me... Is there something you came to find me? ?"

Greystone walked over to Rockefeller and sat down. Rockefeller is a little thinner than before, but this actually makes his figure appear taller, and seeing him sitting on the sofa, his back is straight and straight, you know that this old man is in his seventies. The body is still very healthy.

"Uncle Rockefeller, there are some things, I need your help." Grey Stone said.

"Talk about it." Rockefeller said.

...

"You mean I need to let the stocks of oil-related industries appreciate a little bit?" Rockefeller asked.

"Yes, the range cannot be too large, but it must be very subtle. It will increase the stock market value of the oil industry by about 3% in a month or two. I think that is enough. This way we can make the market investment Orderly shift to oil and shipping." Grey Stone replied.

"Well, Grey Stone, you have to know that the goals you want to achieve this time are very different from the previous ones." Rockefeller said, "In the past, we often worked together to manipulate stocks, but at that time What we need is only the short-term ups and downs of the stock market. It is very simple for us to make such changes, as long as we and Morgan don’t make trouble. But this time is different, Greystone, you have to I know, this time, we are trying to create a long-term prosperity. This is not the same, Grey Stone, you should know that the economy has its own laws, and it is almost impossible to artificially create a scene."

"Uncle Rockefeller, if I didn't even know the truth, then I would have been thrown by my father to pick coconuts in the Philippines." Grey Stone smiled, "Of course I know that against the law, artificial prosperity is created, even if It is not completely impossible, and it is also very difficult. But before this year, the economic downturn has been going on for several years. Now there are already many signs that this round of recession is coming to an end."

"I also know this." Rockefeller said, "It's just that in the past few years, the boom time between the two crises has become shorter and shorter. Even the boom time has been significantly shorter than the time of the downturn crisis. Indeed, the last crisis occurred. After so long, many crisis factors have almost been released, and a new economy should begin. But the degree of the new economy may not be as good as you need. Neither the duration nor the degree of the economy can be achieved. The degree you need."

"Uncle Rockefeller, if you only consider our United States, it is true, but if you consider other countries, then there are new possibilities." Graystone said, "You know, there are still some The local market has not yet been fully developed. For example, China is now plunged into a revolution. Now, no matter which side of China, China has no power to refuse to open the market further to the world. Therefore, the total amount of the world market will increase slightly. In addition, Originally, the shipping industry has a need to update ships. Therefore, I think it is entirely possible to gradually form a momentum of continuously expanding shipbuilding capabilities at this time next year."

"Perhaps." Rockefeller said, "but this matter depends on us alone. We still need to contact more people to do it together. In addition, in the shipbuilding industry, I have nothing to do, but listen to what you said earlier. Those, I suddenly became interested in large oil tankers. Therefore, I hope that in the future I can get some shares in the construction of oil tankers, or the priority of acquiring some companies that are used to manufacture oil tankers in the future, and the priority of related technology transfer. ."

"Uncle Rockefeller, you should know that while the shipbuilding industry is booming, your oil industry will also have tremendous development. And, you also know that when we finally go to acquire these shipbuilding companies, there is a prerequisite, that is The shipbuilding industry has collapsed. The collapse of the shipbuilding industry is mostly caused by the collapse of the oil industry. I think at that time, you should take the opportunity to further integrate the oil industry. In which direction you invest your funds, it may be effective. Better. If you want to diversify your investment to avoid risks. Then in the shipbuilding side, we can also joint ventures. This is more convenient than operating the shipyard yourself. Because in the case of joint ventures, technology or anything is not There's a question." Grey Stone replied after considering the language.

Rockefeller was not surprised by this answer. He knew that since Scrooge was interested in the shipbuilding industry, he would not allow a shipbuilding company that could compete with him in the United States at this time. If it was him, he would definitely have such an attitude. But when the war begins, these shipyards will inevitably bring excess profits. It is also intolerable to give up such an opportunity to make money. According to his judgment on Scrooge, Scrooge should accept the joint venture. Of course, when negotiating, you must first raise the requirements higher, and then talk slowly to see if you can get better terms.
