Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Chapter 418 Coercion and inducement

After careful observation and repeated confirmation, Fang Lang finally confirmed that what Charles Morgan said this time was serious. He also guessed from the expressions of Eli Morgan and Halken Morgan that this was definitely not their original plan.

Obviously, this operation of his made Charles Morgan change his original plan. He had to use more chips to exchange for something with himself.

Now, it seems that the Morgan family, as financiers, are aware of Fang Lang's intentions. Seeing this, Fang Lang, of course, took the benefits offered to him without hesitation.

Alvin Rockefeller on the side saw that the Morgan family seemed to have reached a deal with Fang Lang, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. This meant that he already knew what Fang Lang wanted.

Moreover, it seems that the other party's goal has been achieved.

Obviously, Fang Lang temporarily gained some advantages in this confrontation, which forced him to once again raise Fang Lang's status in his mind. After all, there are extremely few people who can take advantage of the Morgan family.

.

Everyone's eyes turned to Fang Lang, the youngest and youngest here. Everyone knew that the Morgan family would not make concessions for no reason. The purpose of all this was obviously for this bank that provided loans to highways.

.

Whether it was Morgan or Rockefeller, everyone knew that since the other party revealed the plan in front of everyone, everyone would have the opportunity to participate.

As for how to participate specifically, it depends on what kind of chips everyone can come up with next.

Fang Lang knew very well what the other party was thinking. He didn't want to let go of such an opportunity to build a relationship with the Rockefeller family, so he tentatively asked:

When he thought of this, he no longer hesitated and immediately said to Fang Lang:

How could this be otherwise, several people were overjoyed, and Halken Morgan took over the conversation without hesitation:

"No problem, Fang. As the second largest shareholder of Global Petroleum, we absolutely fully support your investment plan. If we encounter a shortage of funds for the construction of gas stations, our Morgan family is also willing to increase investment in Global Petroleum.

"

Europe has its own oil company. If Global Petroleum, a little-known company, directly breaks into this huge market, it may be besieged. Not to mention making money, it will be good if it does not lose money.

Before Alvin Rockefeller could answer, Halken Morgan interjected directly:

At this moment, everyone was obviously not particularly satisfied with this result. Both Morgan and Rockefeller were obviously passive in the game, while Fang Lang felt that it was a bit uninteresting.

Now that General Marshall was present, no one continued to discuss the choice of bank in depth. Fang Lang even changed the topic directly:

But now Fang Lang's words are tantamount to providing him with a new idea and direction.

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled slightly, nodded to Alvin Rockefeller and said:

At this moment, Alvin Rockefeller's face was very ugly, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. He endured the unhappiness in his heart, smiled at Fang Lang and said:

This was an excellent opportunity for an oil company to enter the European market. As the leader of the oil industry, how could Rockefeller let such an opportunity slip away from his eyes?

These words made several people in the Morgan family frown slightly. They looked at each other, and finally, Eli Morgan, who had the closest relationship with Fang Lang, asked:

"Fang, this highway construction doesn't seem to have much to do with Global Petroleum. I don't know why you would want Global Petroleum to participate in it?"

It’s not that his oil companies have not entered the European market, but the current European oil market is actually the home court of Anglo-Iranian oil companies.

After saying that, he turned to Morgan and the others and said:

"But when the time comes, I may let our Global Petroleum participate. As the second largest shareholder of Global Petroleum, I hope the Morgan family can agree to my plan."

"Mr. Fang, please rest assured that if you can really invest in highway construction locally, I will definitely find a way to persuade the local government to use tax revenue to provide guarantee for your loan."

However, everyone knows in their hearts that this matter has almost been settled. If you want to join the game, everyone must compromise with each other and pay some benefits.

The other party refused very simply, and in the end they did not forget to remind themselves that their focus is the financial industry.

With the participation of Morgan and Rockefeller, no country dares to pursue the idea of ​​these two highways. After all, these two are the owners behind the two major ruling parties in the United States.

Fang Lang thought that neither party would reject his proposal, but he didn't expect that everyone would smile slightly after hearing this, and Charles Morgan even expressed his stance directly:

But the Morgan family's approach was obviously to restrict the development of the Rockefeller family, which made Fang Lang very puzzled.

After all, if Fang Lang also gives in, the expressway project we just talked about will come to nothing!

It is of course nonsense to say how much Marshall cared about building highways for European countries. The key now is that this is a good way to solve his current predicament!

This is much safer than investing alone. After all, although Universal Group is an American company, as the boss, he is actually just a Brazilian, and many people fundamentally dislike him.

Fang Lang didn't care about Marshall's thoughts. After carefully calculating the pros and cons of investing in the expressway, he decided to take a gamble!

"Since neither of you is willing to participate in the construction of this project, then let me complete it alone!"

This is the most reasonable. As for the gas stations on the highway, it is better to allocate them according to the size of the shares!"

Regarding the money-making business that Fang Lang mentioned, Rockefeller didn't know whether he meant the highway business or the oil business. He didn't care, he wanted to participate anyway.

He knew exactly what Fang Lang was talking about about Global Oil. This oil company, originally called Ridgefield Petroleum Exploration Company, was still just a child in the oil field.

"Wait! Fang, our Morgan family also wants to invest in your highway company. Let's divide the shares equally among the three! As the dominant party, you can occupy 40% of the shares, and our Morgan family and the Rockefeller family each occupy 100%.

Thirty/thirty points.

"Haha. Okay, okay, okay, thank you for your help. With the participation of a few of you, this expressway company will be able to reach the sky in one step and directly become the world's first-class expressway company.

Of course, using this project to contact the Rockefeller family can be regarded as achieving his first goal.

After hearing Halken Morgan's statement, he knew that he could no longer remain silent. But it was obviously unrealistic to directly propose that he want to build his own gas station on the highway built by Fang Lang.

"This kind of asset-heavy investment is not within the business scope of our consortium, and the investment cycle is too long. Our focus is still on the financial industry."

"Of course, Mr. Rockefeller, I think profits should be shared. It makes no sense for me to keep such a profitable business all by myself, right?"

These words made several members of the Morgan family's eyes light up, and they immediately became interested. As the second largest shareholder of Global Petroleum, gas stations are naturally one of the most important sales channels for oil companies.

"What do you think about the gas station on the highway?"

Why should Fang Lang be allowed to pick peaches on the highway he invested heavily in? Thinking of this, Alvin Rockefeller said without hesitation:

"Fang, I think we should have a good talk. If I invest in your highway construction plan now, I don't know if you can accept it."

But for Fang Lang, this is not a bad thing. Since the two parties are in competition, he, the middleman, might be able to profit from it!

Fang Lang felt happy when he thought of this. He looked at Alvin Rockefeller with a troubled expression on his face, wanting to see how he was going to answer this question.

I couldn't help but start to feel a little nervous in my heart. Could it be that there are some big potholes on this highway that I don't know about, or there are high risks?

If Fang Lang doesn't do it, the two companies will find another suitable candidate to take over the project.

Without the support of the Morgan family, he would not even have allowed the other party to have the qualifications to enter the petroleum refining field. But now such an inconspicuous small oil company is about to break into the European market that he has dreamed of.

I wonder if Mr. Morgan and Mr. Rockefeller are interested in taking a share."

Marshall calmly praised everyone and pointed out that only companies with everyone's participation can give them the confidence to negotiate with the local government.

Hearing this, Fang Lang calmly glanced at Rockefeller who was sitting on the other side, but saw that the other person seemed not to care about the internal affairs of Global Petroleum shareholders.

It's not that Fang Langjian has to get two other people to join the company before he can rest assured. In fact, although capitalist countries in Europe claim to abide by the contract, in fact, if you are not strong enough, you may be attacked at any time.

Not even the bones or dregs of the food were left.

Now it was Fang Lang's turn to be dumbfounded. The dignified Rockefeller family had compromised like this and wouldn't they fight for it anymore?

So he echoed without hesitation:

Obviously, Marshall was not sure about letting local governments deposit tax revenues in lending banks, so he did not make a commitment in this regard.

If it is true as Fang Lang said, this oil company that has just started in the United States may soon rise in Europe and become one of the top oil companies in Europe.

Everyone was unconvinced about this.

If you want to completely gain a foothold in the European market, you need to take advantage of the launch of this European aid plan.

He raised his eyebrows calmly and said with a smile:

"Since it is a highway, we naturally have to build gas stations! Otherwise, if the vehicles are driving on a fully closed highway, what if there is no gas station and the car runs out of gas? They cannot be allowed to drive down the highway to refuel.

Bar!

Therefore, I plan to build a huge service area every thirty to forty kilometers, not only to provide a resting place for driver friends, but also to build a gas station to facilitate long-distance vehicles to refuel on the highway."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked sideways and looked at each other in disbelief. But Alvin Rockefeller seemed to be unaware and looked at Fang Lang firmly.

Marshall on the side was of course very happy to see that everyone had reached an agreement again. It would be no exaggeration to say that he was the biggest beneficiary at this moment. After all, his biggest problem was now solved.

Thinking of this, his eyes began to hesitate, and all this happened in front of General Marshall's eyes. Seeing this scene, Marshall became a little anxious.

Some people may think that Global Petroleum is the only one that can make more money by monopolizing the gas stations on highways. But Fang Lang really doesn't dare to be so blatant. You have to know the principle of shooting first.

"Actually, I really think that highways are a very profitable business. After all, after the construction is completed, they will be cash cows. You can collect money while sitting at home.

Although Fang Lang hesitated, it did not mean that Fang Lang was ready to give up the project. In fact, Fang Lang was sure that if he decided to give up the project, Morgan and Rockefeller would soon come forward to encourage him to continue the project.

If people in European countries stage two demonstrations and want the government to nationalize these highways in advance, they must be prepared to face accountability from the US government.

Alvin Rockefeller, who originally seemed to be unconcerned about the matter, suddenly woke up when he heard that Fang Lang planned to build a gas station every thirty kilometers or so on the highway, with a look of dismay on his face.

Look at each other with confidence.

When the time comes, when we negotiate with the local government, as long as our identities are revealed, everyone will look at the company in a different light."

"Haha. You are right. The benefits should be shared together. Only when more people participate can the cake be bigger. I am willing to subscribe for 50% of the shares in this expressway construction plan."

In order to avoid further complications, he said directly without hesitation:

This made Alvin Rockefeller immediately change his face. Fang Lang did not expect that the Morgan family would target the Rockefeller family in this way. Logically speaking, everyone has their own main business field, so at this time, a win-win situation should be chosen.

"I have no objection!"

Now it was Fang Lang's turn to be dumbfounded. He never expected that these two major consortiums would directly reject his idea of ​​operating the expressway together.

Seeing this scene, Fang Lang could only turn his eyes to Alvin Rockefeller on the other side. After all, the other party had just expressed his stance to him. Unexpectedly, the other party also smiled and shook his head and said:

"Fang, I'm really sorry. Our consortium can provide you with the best quality and cheapest asphalt products, but if you directly participate in the highway management project, I think it's better to forget it!"

With Rockefeller's intervention, things were completely different. After all, when such a large oil giant entered the European market, everyone's attention would naturally be attracted to him. This was a good time for the development of global oil.

When there is a resolution or a truce between these European oil tycoons and Rockefeller, it is estimated that Global Oil will have a firm foothold.

Fang Lang didn't seem to be satisfied when he saw everyone. No one answered General Marshall's words for a while. As the master, Fang Lang certainly couldn't let the atmosphere be cold. He laughed and said:

"Since everyone has no problem, I am here to thank everyone for their support! Tomorrow I will let people start registering the company. If you two have any suitable talents to introduce, please don't hide it."
