Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Although the press conference is over, the impact on major companies in the world continues to ferment. Of course, the first one is National Steel Corporation. Black Cloud Group purchases raw materials from Sumitomo Metal, but they have to reduce their share. However,

Now the deal is done, everything is a foregone conclusion, but it is difficult to change.

Since the Heiyun path is not feasible, we must find a way from other aspects. Moreover, not only is the conflict between Bao Zixuan and the Morgan family known to the world, but at least the shareholders of National Steel Corporation are aware of it.

It's just that it didn't affect the company's business before, and it was a personal issue. With the authority of old Morgan, no one really dared to say anything. But it's different now. Heiyun Group purchases raw materials directly from the Japanese, so

For the U.S. National Steel Corporation, which itself is not very prosperous, although it is not a fatal blow, it is definitely an act that makes things worse.

There was no choice but to convene a board meeting. After all, the matter was too big and beyond the scope of the company's normal operations. The Morgan family had purchased the company for more than 80 years, and basically no one could shake their authority in the company. But now old Morgan also knows that it must

Explain the situation to shareholders and discuss next steps.

It was previously known that Bao Zixuan would definitely choose other partners, but the investigation found that no company could take such a large order. After all, Heiyun's annual purchase volume is too large, and it is still increasing year after year.

Conflicts are conflicts, and business is business. These are two different things. When both families get what they need, it is not so easy to let go. I didn't expect the Japanese to come out to disrupt the situation. It seems that I was too polite to them before.

However, this was a critical period of the Cold War, and the Americans did not dare to suppress Japan too hard, let alone offend the Japanese for no reason. If the other side fell to the Soviet Union, it would be a huge blow to the entire Western world. Although this possibility is very high

Low, but it doesn’t necessarily never happen.

Old Morgan specially came to the headquarters of Pittsburgh Steel Company for this purpose. In the conference room, he saw that all the shareholders were silent. This is the rule. No one can speak until Old Morgan comes. Although it is a bit domineering, who can let people have that strength?

Woolen cloth!

Seeing old Morgan come in, shareholders seemed to have found a backbone.

After sitting down, Old Morgan said: "Since everyone is here, let the meeting begin!"

This sentence is absolutely like an edict. Rich, CEO of National Steel Corporation, said to everyone: "You must have seen what happened in Xiangjiang. Heiyun Group has cooperated with Sumitomo Foundation on many projects. This includes the procurement of raw materials, of course.

The largest amount is related to the procurement of metal raw materials."

"Currently, Heiyun Group purchases US$4 billion of metal raw materials from the National Steel Corporation every year. It can be said that it is the company's largest customer. And Heiyun Group is different from other companies. Payment for goods is very timely; it is never in arrears; at the same time, the price is

The price is very reasonable and he is the best customer I have ever seen in my 30 years of experience.”

"But on the other hand, we didn't even take the initiative to visit. This is not common in such a large-scale trade, and it is even unique."

"Customers will of course give up some suppliers if they find more suitable partners. At present, we are the abandoned party. If we do not take countermeasures, the profits of National Steel Corporation will be lower next year, or even suffer losses."

In fact, as the CEO of National Steel Corporation, Ricky also had a lot of complaints about old Morgan. Previously, old Morgan issued a ban to his companies; that is, all of his companies were not allowed to take the initiative to visit Bao Zixuan. That is what the boy named Bao wanted to do.

If you come to visit the company, you should refuse directly.

At that time, Ricky disagreed and even explained the situation to old Morgan. But how could a stubborn person compromise easily? Of course, he did not agree. And Ricky was given two options, either accept or leave.

Now that there is a problem, Ricky doesn't want to take the blame for old Morgan. Although his life at National Steel will not be easy in the future, it is better than being so unclear.

Old Morgan glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Do you think so too!"

"We think that as long as we are attentive to our customers and take the initiative to visit them, they will give us orders. This is really naive and even ignorant. I don't even know that you know that Bao Zixuan has conflicts with the Morgan family. Of course, this is a private matter.

I didn’t want to say it to the company’s board of directors. Now do you think it is because of its relationship with the Morgan family that the Heiyun Group has reduced or stopped purchasing metal raw materials from the National Steel Company?”

"It is only a matter of time that Heiyun Group reduces its purchase of raw materials from National Steel Corporation. It is not because of the cheap prices offered by the Japanese, nor is it because of some conflicts with the Morgan family."

"In terms of understanding of Bao Zixuan, maybe all of you together don't know as much as I do. The Morgan family's intelligence information on that kid is more than one meter high. It can be said that they have conducted a comprehensive investigation on him, almost

There are no dead ends.”

"Bao Zixuan is very ambitious, and even though he is young, he likes to be prepared for danger in times of peace. In his opinion, the raw materials are in the hands of Americans, which will make them very insecure. Once we cut off the supply of raw materials, it will be so dark.

Many factories will be affected by the cloud."

"There is an old Chinese saying that eggs cannot be put in the same basket. Currently, National Steel Corporation of the United States is the most important raw material supplier of Heiyun Group; if there is a problem between us, Heiyun cannot afford such losses."

"The Japanese took the initiative to come to the door, which is exactly what Bao Zixuan wants. And if I say this today, ten years from now, the Japanese will lose more than making that little money."

It can be said that old Morgan sees everything clearly, and Bao Zixuan's true thoughts are clear to the old guy.

A shareholder suddenly said: "Now that Mr. Morgan has thought of it, I wonder if there are any countermeasures."

Hearing someone speak, everyone looked at the person who just spoke. After all, this is a bit of a challenge to old Morgan's authority, and the meaning is obvious; since you are so capable, you must have a countermeasure.

After knowing who was speaking, everyone seemed to be watching a good show.

James Carnegie is the great-great-grandson of Andrew Carnegie, the founder of National Steel Company.

The predecessor of U.S. Steel is the Carnegie Steel Company, which was founded in 1864. Carnegie Steel only became strong after the United States implemented tariff barriers in the mid-19th century. Only in 1913 did this tariff on the U.S. steel industry

Protection is completely cancelled. Here

Previously, much of the U.S. steel industry relied on tariff barriers to make profits in the competition with free trade with Britain. The Carnegie Steel Company gained an advantage by building a large steel complex that produced steel from scratch and remained the world's largest for decades.

The status of steel mills.

Later generations did not understand when Andrew Carnegie sold the company to the Morgan family. After all, it was when the company was most prosperous, so how could others take advantage of it.

In 1901, the United States was in a state of absolute protection for domestic steel companies. The Carnegie Steel Company was at its peak, making a lot of money.

Although he received US$400 million in cash at that time, without a company, the family would soon decline. Could it be that Andrew Carnegie didn't know such a superficial truth? There must be something hidden.

Andrew Carnegie did not explain why until his death, which makes people even more suspicious. Especially the descendants of the Carnegie family were very critical of the sale of the company.

It is believed that the Morgan family must have forced Andrew Carnegie through dishonorable means. If the company was not sold, his life might not have been saved. Although this was just a guess, the business environment at the time was such that murders and arson often occurred; Carnegie cannot be blamed.

Neji descendants think too much.

Although they lost their shares in National Steel Corporation, the Carnegie family also gained huge wealth. Later generations will certainly not be convinced when they see that the Morgan family has been giving orders to the company founded by their ancestors.

Four years ago, by chance, the Carnegie family finally seized the opportunity and spent billions of dollars to purchase shares of National Steel Corporation. It can be said that they are now the company's second largest shareholder and have a strong tendency to take the company back.

It’s just that we have to endure it for now. The Morgan family has been running the company for more than 80 years; Carnegie is not even a shadow. How can shareholders and employees still recognize and trust the Carnegie family?

Morgan Sr. had no right to prevent the Carnegie family from entering the board of directors. If he really did that, it would be a challenge to U.S. law, and no one would be so bold.

Previously, the Carnegie family was still very peaceful and was basically invisible in the board of directors. Today, they suddenly asked old Morgan whether they wanted to fight for power.

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but the Carnegie family is even more interesting. They actually tolerated it for 80 years and waited until the fifth generation of the family to explode. At the same time, it also confirmed the terrifying strength of the Morgan family. It can be said that heaven has reincarnation, and no one will be spared.

None of the shareholders are stupid, and no one dares to speak out at this time. Although the Morgan family is stronger, the Carnegie family is not easy to mess with, so there is no need to offend it. It’s good to watch the show, but don’t get yourself involved;

This is the true thought of all shareholders.
