My America

"William Durant? The carriage manufacturer? It seems that this is a very keen person and belongs to the leader of this era!" Sheffield took the telegram from Lamonhes and remembered what William Durant was. backing.

This is a successful businessman worth millions of dollars. He invested $ 1,500 to establish a carriage manufacturing company with Dallas Dott in Flint. Engaging in the manufacture of highly profitable carriages at that time allowed Durant to really show his strength. With his excellent sales experience and talents, he has made rapid progress in the carriage company's business and the benefits have been rising. After development, his carriage manufacturing company can produce many brands of carriages at the same time. At the same time, Durant is also constantly acquiring other carriage manufacturers. The companies he acquired are most south to Atlanta and north to Toronto.

At the age of thirty, already worth millions of dollars, William Durant was naturally a genius. Among them, the grandfather's role as governor should be eliminated.

"Boss, did you reject them?" Ramon Hess saw Sheffield not speak for a long time, thinking that his boss didn't want the other party to come to the door. After all, sending someone to Detroit might cause little unpleasantness.

"Why do you refuse? Ramon! Was it just because you were sending someone to Detroit to find talent? Was she rejected?" Sheffield smiled and waved carelessly. "For some junior entrepreneurs, it's better not to rush to kill. These people have their own ideas and dreams of starting a business. There is nothing wrong with it. They cannot become enemies just because they refuse me once. They choose the emerging industry of cars, they ca n’t say all, but many of them are definitely determined people. If The suppression is too hard, they will definitely find other ways. "

"There is an oriental proverb called painting a dungeon, which means restricting people to a specified range of activities. Do you know what we need to do?" Sheffield looked at Lamonges with expectant eyes, waiting for the other's answer.

"Break all competitors and want a single boss." Ramon Hess was deeply influenced by Sheffield recently. Naturally, his boss thought what he was thinking.

"Yes, although the automotive industry is an emerging industry with huge risks, but our country is not short of risk-taking people. Although in the pricing and a series of preparations, I am trying to create an environment that excludes competitors. But the total Some people think that this risk is worth taking, or that they are the protagonists of the times, and they will enter the market endlessly. Many pioneers in the Detroit automotive industry gather, which is very dangerous. "

"If they are willing to take the initiative to come over, I will naturally forget the last rejection. It is better to give them the opportunity to serve me than they are outside. In this way, the appearance of competitors is eliminated from the talents." Sheffield hehe A smile, "Even if they like, they can independently build their own brands under the framework of United Automobile Company, and these are nothing."

Sheffield wanted to use the imperial examination to describe his actions. Anyway, it was the same thing, so that the pioneers of these few cars would gather here, so that there would not be many talents left outside, and the danger would be great. reduce. Even if other investors want to enter the market, it will be difficult because of lack of talent.

"I went to Austin, let them go to find me there, you know I am very busy." Sheffield put on his coat, he is really busy, Austin is preparing for a flight test, as a new Boss very interested in the industry, don't go and see how to do it.

Houston is the largest city in Texas, with a large population and dense housing, and has also established oil industry factories. It is not an ideal test site, especially for things like airplanes, it is possible if something fails.

Although Austin is the capital of Texas, its population is not large, but its status is still very important. As the capital of Texas, it can also cause a sensational effect.

The most important thing is to look at Annie. Since going to the Philippines, Anne's school seems to have experienced some decline, and there has been a trend of not wanting to work hard.

Sheffield is very concerned about the test flight of the aircraft, and unlike the car was invented by the Germans, the aircraft is really something invented by the Americans. This is actually very important. This has shown that some aspects of this country are no longer under the power of Europe and have an encouraging effect.

Furthermore, this is the industry. Some industries will continue to be threatened by antitrust laws, but for industries with important symbolic significance in a country, not only will they not be threatened by antitrust laws, but they will also receive key protection.

No, you see. When the Boeing plane crashed, the federal government made every effort to show that this was an isolated incident. It was n’t that Boeing ’s passenger plane had a quality problem, and it hit the European Airbus heavily to prevent Europeans from picking up cheap.

Sheffield's involvement in an industry now is based on historical considerations, to determine whether this industry will not be threatened by antitrust laws because of the international situation, or that a single country is in the national interest, and then decide whether to vigorously intervene.

Of course, there is also an important factor. The development of the US aircraft seems to have been the focus of the DuPont family. Boeing has the DuPont family in it. Sheffield must grab the commanding heights in front of the other party.

After William Durant arrived in Houston, he threw an empty space. Only then did she know that Sheffield had gone to Austin, to observe what plane was flying, and Lamon Hess looked at the servant guests, embarrassed, "Sir, our boss He is a person who maintains a strong interest in new things, as well as any new things. He will be in Austin recently. If a few do not feel tired, I can send someone to **** you immediately. "

When several people came to Austin, they just saw Sheffield, who came out with Anne, and walked through a gravel path. The people came to this villa under the guidance of Jesra's bodyguards. Just entering the villa seemed to have entered another. In a world, a variety of oriental vases and furnishings have given several people the illusion that they have come to another country.

"Mr. William's residence is really special." William Durant smiled bitterly at the room furnishings.

"I have been on the road for many years, so I have bought properties in some cities, Texas is my hometown, and naturally every city will not fall." Sheffield explained the origin of this house, and then said, "Because I went to Asia and got some decorations, so I just put some decoration in this property. I forgot to say, Mr. William, Mr. Ford, welcome you to Austin, Austin is not a very noisy city , Unlike Detroit's full city life, I hope you can get used to it. "

Not long after, the servant of the villa brought a few cups of coffee. William Durant, unlike Ford, declined the other party ’s kindness, and naturally took out a cigar and asked, "I don't know if Mr. William minds?"

"Do not mind!" Sheffield looked at the cigar between William Durant and asked, "Some research?"

"I used to do cigar business, but still have some research on cigars." William Durant smiled, "This is also an unforgettable business experience."

Sheffield nodded and gestured to the servants around him. In a short time, two boxes of cigars were placed in front of William Durant and said, "Since my husband likes it, I have nothing to send. They are all in Cuba. I know everything about plantation and factory production, and they are definitely not imported. "

Sheffield ’s understatement made William Durant awe-inspiring. He knew that Cuba had become a man in front of him and said with respect. "Mr. William ’s career in Central and South America has admired many businessmen. Many Businessmen are stuck in the traditional industry and enjoy huge profits. Few are involved in the development of emerging industries, but Mr. William ’s decisive decision on the car has surprised many people. "

"Are you sure you are not interested in emerging industries when you run traditional industries? In fact, that's not the case!" Sheffield took the coffee that Anne had just measured, and smiled at William Durant, saying that he didn't deliberately throw a dog. Liang, and then continued, "For example, you are the owner of a carriage manufacturing industry. You can even say that in the carriage industry, you are already the king of this industry, but your field is not as big as oil or banks. You are already you. Isn't Rockefeller in this industry also interested in the emerging automotive industry? "

"In fact, the automobile industry has just started with huge risks, but the carriage manufacturing industry has matured. The car may also be the enemy of the carriage. The average person imagines suppression, and you choose to accept, or even prepare to intervene, which is more than most people. Much better. "

"But it's not as good as Mr. William's preparations. As soon as he debuts, this book comes to the end." William Durant listened to the other party's praise. If an ordinary person praised him, he would be very happy. But if a victor with a longer-term vision than him praises him, it will only remind him that he is a loser.

"I'm just a person who wants to do whatever I want with money. I'm no smarter than anyone else." Sheffield humbled, and then turned back, "Since the two are visiting, I believe there must be something wrong. You said that, without further ado, let's talk about our cooperation. As for those who are interested in cars in Detroit, all of them come over and keep all of them. "
