In the field of military industry, Junma Weapons Company is an undisputed giant. Those sporadic family workshops do not pose any threat to the supremacy of Junma Weapons Company, so Li Mu left it alone.

Simon Steel is definitely not a family workshop. The guy asked for a lot. Donations to James Garfield amounted to $ 1.5 million, even if Simon Steel is a "Manhattan landlord". I will feel the pain. Of course, this is definitely not the money of Simon Steele. I want to challenge the Steed Weapons Company in the military industry. It is impossible to rely on personal strength. Look at Springfield, Colt, Wen In the end of Chester, Simon Steele still did not know how many allies had been drawn, so that he could say "impossible" to Li Mu arrogantly.

It takes courage to reject a big capitalist like Li Mu. Although Li Mu has never done anything to blow up a factory, Li Mu is notorious in Texas near Louisiana. At first it was just because of a small In the trade dispute, the chairman of the association was shot dead on the street, which subsequently led to the collapse of the powerful Texas Cotton Farmers Association. This lesson learned should be impressive enough.

There are certain things that can be done, but Steed Group can do whatever they want in Texas, thousands of miles away, and pay attention to influence in New York, and Li Mu is convinced that even if someone finds someone to kill Simon Steele, Louisiana will not Withdrawal, this matter has gone beyond the scope of commercial competition and cannot be solved by simple violence.

"Okay, if you insist, then what else can I say? I wish you success." Understanding Simon Steele's attitude, Li Mu will not be forced, the strength of the Steed Weapons Company in the military industry is not only reflected in In terms of market position, it is also reflected in the supply chain of raw materials required for the production of weapons. Since Simon Steele is going to challenge the steed company's monopoly position in the military industry, it is necessary to be prepared to purchase all raw materials from Europe.

There are many raw materials required to produce weapons, the most important of which is steel. Now it is not 50 years ago. You can go to the War Department to fool with any steel you want to use. Because of the emergence of alloy steel, weapons have strength and corrosion resistance. The requirements for wear resistance are getting higher and higher. At present, only Carnegie-Rime Steel can produce the best alloy steel in the world. As long as Li Mu does not agree, Simon Steele is simply impossible. Obtain even one pound of steel from Carnegie-Rime Steel, and if Simon Steel uses low-quality steel to produce weapons, the parameters of the weapons must be unqualified, at least according to the standard of the Steed Weapons Company. Such products Even if the Louisiana government places an order, I am afraid that Louisiana police and the National Guard will not accept it.

Refuse to refuse. It ’s going to be rainy. If you know that there are tigers in the mountains, you will go to Hushan. Li Mu returned to the Governor's Island and immediately connected Andrew Carnegie's phone.

"If you refuse to sell steel, it will definitely affect the reputation of Carnegie-Riem Steel. At the same time, if Simon Steele is not afraid to spend money, they can get the same steel through European channels, so we It ’s better to raise the price and keep the price a little below their cost line, so that it will not affect the reputation of Carnegie-Rime Steel, and we can make enough profits. ”Andrew Carnegie is Qualified businessmen, no matter what, should be based on the interests of the company. This attitude is worth encouraging, but unfortunately, it is not in line with Li Mu's expectations.

Carnegie-Rime Steel has developed alloy steel, which has raised the standards of weapons around the world a lot. Steel is also the lifeline of the country, so in order to safeguard interests, Carnegie-Rime Steel even Without going to Europe to apply for a patent right or authorizing European steel companies to produce alloy steel, European military industrial companies can only go to the United States to buy alloy steel if they want to obtain alloy steel. This is Carnegie-Rim Steel The large amount of benefits brought by it, as well as the additional taxes brought to New York Customs. If Carnegie-Rime Steel is going to say that it is selling patent use rights, I am afraid that Edward Jeffrey will not agree first.

Andrew Carnegie is right. If Simon Steele doesn't care about costs, and wants to challenge the steed weapon company's monopoly position in the military industry, production and quality of the same weapons as the steed weapon company, then Simon Steel can Choosing to obtain alloy steel from European channels will greatly increase the cost of Simon Steel's acquisition of alloy steel, but in many cases cost is never the only factor in making a decision.

Of course, it is not only the raw materials that it is difficult to challenge the monopoly position of Junma Weapons Company in the industry. A large number of skilled workers and advanced weapons protected by patents are also constraints on competitors, but this is not a key issue. Skilled workers can slow down Slow training, patents can be obtained in a roundabout way. As long as you are willing to give time and energy, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. This proposition is also true for Simon Steele.

"Andrew, look back at the agreement between Carnegie-Rime Steel and Junma Group. The agreement between Junma Group and all raw material suppliers is exclusive. Within the United States, all raw horse suppliers of Junma Group cannot Cooperation with a company that is competitive with the subsidiary of Junma Group, that is, Carnegie-Rime Steel has chosen to cooperate with Junma Weapons Company, then it cannot cooperate with any other military industry company in the United States, which of course also Including Louisiana military enterprises. "Li Mu called not to ask Andrew Carnegie for cooperation, but to remind Andrew Carnegie not to violate the contract. Now it seems that this call is necessary.

"Is there such a clause?" Andrew Carnegie did not really know the details of the contract.

Although Li Mu also owns shares of Carnegie-Rime Steel, strictly speaking Carnegie-Rime Steel and Junma Group are their own, but after all, the two companies are financially independent, so Carnegie-Rime Steel The cooperation between the company and the Junma Group is also operated in accordance with normal commercial norms. Junma Weapons Company ordered alloy steel from Carnegie-Rime Steel, and Carnegie-Rime Steel did not give any discount to Junma Weapons. Therefore, the contract details Harshness should be understandable.

Hmm, it is understandable that Li Mu spends so much money each year to support nearly a hundred staff members of the legal department. It is not charity. Do not talk about fairness and fairness in business contracts this year. Even government departments ca n’t do it. said.

"There must be, not only Carnegie-Rime Steel, but also DuPont. DuPont has obtained a patent for smokeless powder from Junma Group. One of the requirements is that within the United States, DuPont cannot Sell ​​smokeless gunpowder to any military industrial company except Steed Weapon Company. "Li Mu laughed. If it had not been for the legal department to keep such a small tail, Andrew Carnegie would now refuse to submit to Simon Steele. It is not easy to supply. Li Mu also has to give Andrew Carnegie some compensation.

There is no need to compensate now. With the exclusivity clause, Li Mu reminded Andrew Carnegie that it is justified. As long as Andrew Carnegie is not crazy, Andrew Carnegie will understand what he should do.

Andrew Carnegie did not go crazy, but his liver pain was unavoidable. Through the earpiece, Li Mu could hear Andrew Carnegie's regrets at the beginning: "Damn, how can you do that? Carnegie -Rim Steel makes money, isn't it yours? "

That's a good question--

The problem is that when Carnegie-Rime Steel and Junma Group signed an exclusive agreement, there was only a military industry company in the United States, so the exclusivity clauses were all superfluous. Someone finally realized that Li Mu It's forward-looking, this is talent, and you can't learn it.

In fact, exclusivity clauses like Carnegie-Rime Steel are still good. Steed Weapon Company also has some supporting factories, such as the wood factory that produces the stock of the gun, the canvas factory that produces the gun belt, and even the chemical factory that produces the gun oil. In the first place, it is a subsidiary of the Steed Group. Even without those exclusive terms, Simon Steele does not want to obtain any accessories from these companies.

If Li Mu wishes, Li Mu can even make the products of the Simon Steel factory unable to enter the New England region by rail. This is the network that Li Mu has painstakingly operated over the years, and it is not easy for an outsider to break through easily.

With this network, this also means that if Simon Steele wants to challenge the Steed Weapons Company, then Simon Steele will build a complete production line from scratch, from the steel plant to The logging mill has everything, and I really don't know if Simon Steele would regret it if he knew this fact.

What's even more sad is that even if Simon Steele built a steel plant, the steel plant will not be able to produce alloy steel that meets the requirements because of no patent license. If you want to solve this problem, it means that Simon Steele Seoul will also build a steel laboratory-

What is even more desperate is that the laboratory may not be able to produce results.

By the way, if Simon Steele wants to sell his products to the New England region, maybe Simon Steele should also build a railway. Of course, Simon Steele will find that by then Difficulties will not be less than challenges to Steed Weapons.

Therefore, I am afraid that Simon Steele still does not know how difficult it is to challenge Steed Weapons Company's monopoly position in the US military industry. If Simon Steele knew this from the beginning, I really do n’t know Simon Steele Can you build up courage.

Therefore, playing real estate is not as good as playing heavy industry. It ’s good to build a house honestly to collect rent. You have to plunge into an unfamiliar area without diamonds. Do n’t take porcelain.

"Okay, okay, I will of course obey the contract. Who makes you Lim?" Andrew Carnegie still complained, but had to give in.

Hanging up Andrew Carnegie's phone, Li Mu called Henry again.

"I heard that Texas wanted to order weapons from Louisiana, and told Achill, I was very upset, so next year, Steed Group will reduce the order to the Texas Cotton Farmers Association." Li Mu is asking for a paycheck. Texas and Louisiana are home to the Democratic Party. Farmers in both states are staunch supporters of slavery. Although the Texas Cotton Farmers Association has n’t had any moths in the past two years, But as long as Li Mu is not happy, then you can get angry with the Texans. This is really very unreasonable, but where can I go?

Achill Theresa is now the general manager of Illinois and Indiana Agricultural Products. The former chairman of the Texas Cotton Farmers Association failed to stay in New York after all. He sold his farm in Texas. , Bought 6,500 acres of land from Indiana for $ 12 an acre from Li Mu, and is now the largest farmer in Indiana.

Although Achill Theresa has nothing to do with the Texas Cotton Farmers Association, but there is still a bit of incense, after all, Achill Theresa is now acting between the Steed Group and the Texas Cotton Farmers Association Contact person, so although this stick will end up on the Texas Cotton Farmers Association, but the person who swings the stick is Achill Theresa.

"Is there an arms company in Louisiana?" All of Henry's energy is used to manage the huge industry of Steed Horse Group, and he has no intention to pay attention to these gossips. This is a division of labor between Li Mu and Henry. Li Mu is responsible for opening up the territory, and Henry Responsible for land reform.

"Not yet, but it should be there soon." Although there were many difficulties, Li Mu never underestimated Simon Steele's determination, otherwise Li Mu would not ask Simon Steele to meet.

That ’s right, Li Mu and Rockefeller are located in New York and even the top of the entire American economic pyramid. But this group is not just Li Mu and them. The Civil War destroyed the southern industrial base and the entire economic ecosystem. Strictly speaking, Li Mu and Rockefeller are a vested beneficiary of the Civil War. Although the plantation owners in the south suffered a great deal of vitality during the war, they did not disappear after all, and the accumulation of hundreds of years is still terrible. Yes, once this group has completed the integration, they will burst into a powerful energy. Simon Steele is only their representative. Behind Simon Steele, there are countless unwilling failures. They Already ready, a general attack is about to be launched.
