The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 87

Situ Nan also realized that the management of his own food company was a bit chaotic. Many problems have been covered up during the economic boom. Once these two years have passed, the US economic recession from 1918 to 1920 after the war, especially A large number of farmers went bankrupt in agriculture, so taking precautions, stifling the crisis in the bud became Situ Nan's first consideration.

After months of hard work by his management team, Situ Nan finally divided the food company into three parts, namely the Stony Food Manufacturing Company responsible for food processing, the Stony Agricultural Company responsible for agricultural production, and the Agricultural Tools Company.

The largest of these is Stony Food Manufacturing Company, which is currently the largest food manufacturing company in the United States. It has a large number of food processing plants in the two major agricultural states of California and Texas. After the batch of food processing plants, Stony Foods' products have evolved from a single canned meat in the early days to canned food such as grains, soybeans and fruits. Its canned luncheon meat accounts for more than 2/3 of the US market.

At the same time, Stony Food Manufacturing Company is also the largest overseas supplier of supplies in Britain and France.Especially after receiving a big contract from the British recently, the company's strength has been further improved.

As the name suggests, Stony Agricultural Company is a company that specializes in agricultural production. Since Situ Nan has been hoarding land a few years ago, Stony Agricultural Company also has an agricultural production base of over one million acres in its hands. Animal husbandry, cotton, coffee, fruits and other cash crops are included, and more than 20,000 workers are employed, all of which are planted on a large scale mechanized.

In addition, through the company-and-farmer model, agricultural companies control a large part of the agricultural products in the western and southern states of the United States.

Of course, except for some of the agricultural products that are directly listed or sold to other companies, most of the agricultural products are sent to the factory of Stony Food Manufacturing Company for processing, and then manufactured and packaged before being sold.

As for the agricultural tool company just after its spin-off and establishment, so the scale is the smallest. Situ Nan is most positioned as a provider of agricultural machinery and equipment, which means that the business scope of this agricultural tool company is to produce tractors, harvesters, and seeders. And other mechanical equipment.

In order to better manage these three independent companies, Situ Nan became a company called California Agricultural Holdings Group to control the above three companies, and then gradually cash out these three companies.

Especially after the listing and financing of Stone Food Manufacturing Company, it will expand its production scale in the next two years to meet the strong demand for logistics supplies after the United States entered the war. At the same time, it must gradually reduce its shares and cash out when the stock market is good.

Situ Nan planned that after the war, due to the reduction of military orders, the share price of the food company would definitely fall sharply, and then he could buy back the diluted shares from the stock market with less money.

This is Situ Nan's plan, a plan devised specifically to make use of his foresight ability to make more profits from the American people in every possible way.

However, he did not tell Robes of such detailed thoughts, only to discuss with him how to make the spin-off food manufacturing company go public.

Under the vigorous operation of Robles Securities and Stuart made relevant preparations before coming to New York, it was not long before the American food giant Stoney Foods was listed on the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street. !

Stony Foods was sought after by investors as soon as it went public. Through Robes Securities' agency, the first batch of 30 million ordinary shares (about 30% of the total share capital) were sold at less than half of US$1 per share. All sold out within the month.

Stony Foods immediately raised 30 million US dollars from the booming stock market, which greatly eased Stuart’s financial pressure.

But this was not enough. In order to raise more funds, Situ Nan sold part of the shares of Stony Foods, raising about 60 million US dollars.

With this money, Situ Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the next plan was implemented.

Situ Nan transferred all the shares of the food company he held to a newly established holding company: California Agricultural Holdings Group.

After a round of equity transactions, the California Agriculture Group still holds 45% of the shares of Stony Foods. This food company closely related to the millions of American tables is still in the hands of Stuart.

"Come on, cheers! This battle is well done!"

Situ Nan held a small celebration banquet at Robles's house. Most of the participants were senior leaders of Robles Securities and relevant powerful people.

Now that Situ Nan has tasted the sweetness, the next step is to take the steel company to go public. This gold swallowing beast should be handed over to the American people!

Who is Situ Nan who urgently needs a lot of funds now?Without a large sum of money, how can Robles Securities Company grab U.S. bonds?Without a large sum of money, how can Situ Nan go to merge banks in the southern western states?

In terms of cars, electricity and electricity, kill Situ Nan!He wants everything now, but he wants to pay for it.The price was that the chickens he had raised for laying golden eggs over the past few years were put on the stage one by one for other investors to carve up a piece.

Although a little unwilling, there are gains and losses. Isn't it a wise choice to give up some for the time being to get more benefits in the future?

Situ Nan secretly warned herself not to be careless and to control her own shares at an appropriate level so as not to make wedding dresses for others.

As for Occidental Petroleum, Situ Nan has not been generous enough to pull this fat pig out to kill the American people. Besides, Occidental Petroleum Corporation is not so much used for funds. The one who lacks money is that Situ Nan wants to invest in other industries, so he will Cashed out some industries.

If Occidental Petroleum does not make any mistakes, it will definitely become a member of the Seven Sisters of Occidental Petroleum in the future.The current Occidental Petroleum Company has left Texaco far behind, and it has the momentum to surpass Gulf Oil. Even Mobil, who is walking in the front, has to stop and watch the menacing Occidental Petroleum behind.

Situ Nan's expectation for Occidental Petroleum is more than ten years later, by about 1929, to become the third strongest after Mobil and Shell, surpassing Gulf Oil!

If you can take some precautions at that time, I believe that even if Occidental Petroleum can not only use the financial crisis to annex a group of oil companies, it may also extend its tentacles to the far Middle East.

Of course, South America is not a problem. Where Mobil can go, Occidental Petroleum will surely be able to go in the future, and it will grab more oil fields than it.

This is a little far away.

Situ Nan stared at the scarlet wine while shaking the glass gently, not knowing where he was drifting, until Robles' words brought him back and forth from his own yy.

"By the way, is there any plan to raise such a large amount of funds this time? Do you want to let us take care of Robes Securities?" Robes tentatively asked.

He knew that in addition to its own development, the food company was going to cash out for Situ Nan. Now that Situ Nan holds a lot of money in his hand, he couldn't help but not be tempted by Robles, so Robles made this idea. .

But how could Stuart not know what Robles thought?He now has a clear investment direction for the next step, that is, automobiles, electrical power, and banks that can no longer be delayed.

Situ Nan gave Robles a glance, "I have used the money to invest in cars, electrical power, and banks. You have to die! What I'm doing is industry, with your speculators It's different. But don’t stare at the money in my hand. The next amount of money will not be enough to spend. I tell you, you will be busy soon. You didn’t see the guys on Wall Street running to Washington. Are you diligent? Think about it!"

"Are you talking about that soon?..."

Robles stared at Situ Nan, and under Situ Nan's nod, Pers finally thought of something and couldn't help himself.

"Oh, my goodness! Now you have to prepare well."

In predicting major events, Robles had blind trust in Situ Nan, even if Situ Nan suddenly said to him, "Robos, aliens have invaded the earth."

Robles would also say: "Do they want our investment banks to issue bond stocks?"

Chapter 63: Morgan Is Coming

"Hey……

what……

Yes Yes Yes……"

Robles put down the microphone and looked at Situ Nan in amazement.

"What's the matter? Who?" Situ Nan asked.Why did he think that Robles' expression was a little strange, did someone tell him that his aunt was coming?

Situ Nan thought very gossip and unscrupulous.

"You know? Just now Lamont, the president of J.P. Morgan's firm, called me and said that Morgan would invite me to visit his house tomorrow, and also named me to bring you."

Robes said.He was a little puzzled. The Morgan family had always been powerful and mysterious. They were very proud and never bothered to deal with a group of people.

"Who? Morgan?"

Situ Nan was a little stunned, and the word Morgan was too familiar.

To say that he had seen Rockefeller, but he was the son of the old Rockefeller. When Situ Nan was in Texas because of oil, he had dealt with the Rockefeller family and the Mellon family, but he still There are really no Morgans.

The population of this family is inversely proportional to their empire’s assets, and they never show up and make money. Even if the Americans know a lot of Rockefeller, it’s hard to tell who knows Morgan, especially when the information media is underdeveloped. The main source of information for people is newspapers.

As far as Situ Nan knows, the Morgan family has hardly ever been in newspapers. Their reputation is only circulated among the heads of governments and major capitalists. There is a saying about it, and there are legends of brother circulating in the world.

Morgan is low-key. If you ask a farmer in the west, "Do you know Morgan?"

He will tell you, "What is the root, can you eat it?"

"What about Rockefeller?"
