The journey starts from the Titanic

"Although the government's heavy taxation policy will be enforced, it will certainly not receive a positive response. In order to raise more military spending, I am sure that this time the White House will join forces with Wall Street to issue war bonds. This is the government's usual practice. In order to encourage people to buy these bonds, the government will provide preferential policies for bond sales, such as tax exemptions.

Therefore, in addition to expanding production, the companies under the consortium should also invest more in bonds. This aspect will be coordinated by Robles Securities and Wells Fargo Bank. We hope that companies will maintain close cooperative relations with them, and this is also related to you. Personal interests.

There is also the labor issue. Although I hate insatiable labor unions and hasty strikes, as a member of society, companies should have certain social obligations.

The government's high tax policy will inevitably lead to a decline in corporate profits. In order to expand profits, it is inevitable to reduce production costs, and the wage issue will naturally emerge. This is inevitable.So please pay attention to the labor issue. We have a lot of opportunities to make money, but we must not let our reputation be bad.

Otherwise, even if there is a government to help us suppress it, once such a thing happens, the cost we pay will be expensive, and there may even be conscientious condemnation!

Capitalists are profit-seeking, but remember the lessons of Carnegie’s bloody suppression and Rockefeller’s massacre in Colorado. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life on charity to make up for the condemnation of conscience like them. I’m still young. Now, there is no more money than Rockefeller!"

Situ Nan said, "Hehe..." The people present could not help but feel happy.

Just now Situ Nan mentioned the two notorious strikes in American history. Everyone knew that they were beyond the scope of human nature.

Capital is bloody, and capitalists are greedy, but if you want the massacre of miners in Colorado to end up causing a massacre, it is estimated that no amount of money will make up for the inner condemnation. This is why Rockefeller was so keen on charity in his later years. One of the reasons.

Situ Nan didn't want to follow in this footstep, so he had to solemnly warn the capitalists who were so excited by him and prepared to carve up this military industry feast."

Chapter 147 New company, new goal, new protagonist

In order to strengthen the control of its subsidiaries and more closely integrate the companies of the consortium, Robles Securities and Wells Fargo will, on the basis of the original, cross-holding with key companies such as Western Petroleum and Bethlehem Steel.

Robles Securities and Wells Fargo will send representatives to the board of directors of each company, and each company will automatically become shareholders of Robles Securities and Wells Fargo.After such adjustments, the William Consortium became stronger and more efficient.

Stuart can also control Robes Securities and Wells Fargo Bank through William Financial Holdings and indirectly control the large companies of the consortium.

The United States is about to implement a new economic situation-the wartime economic system. By then, the business activities of the companies under the William Consortium will be subject to more and more government interference, so it is inevitable that they will have to deal with the government frequently. Government public relations are also under the William Consortium. A big task.

In order to adapt to the new situation, after being inspired by Simmons Nash, Situ Nan established the William-Nash Public Relations Company and handed over the company's affairs to Simmons Nash, who has rich social experience.Through William Nash Public Relations Company, Situ Nan has the opportunity to support the political power of the William Consortium.

The first task of the new company is to support Charles Swab's election as chairman of the American Iron and Steel Association, and then fight for him to enter the American Wartime Industry Council.

This matter has been supported by Senator Paul Wilson. Wilson is a Democrat and is very influential in several southern states. With his support, things will go smoothly.

As a good friend of Hengda, Wilson has always been close to Occidental Petroleum.After meeting Situ Nan on the boat last time, they kept in touch.

Not long ago, Situ Nan and Wilson, a music enthusiast, went to Broadway to listen to a concert. They also discussed that it was 1900 who was a musical ghost on board.

In addition to the public company, there is a newly established company called Investigation and Research. Situ Nan named the RAND Corporation as soon as he had the idea.

However, unlike the historical RAND company that started studying military strategy, this RAND company's main research direction is political and economic.

RAND's researchers are mainly from experts and scholars at Harvard University. This is mainly due to Robes' relationship. He has now become an outstanding alumni of Harvard University.

Robes’ success is quite fierce. Harvard’s juniors, these young people are ambitious, come to New York Wall Street with dreams, and want to become the second Robles.

The financial industry is their first choice, because money comes quickly, and some people in the lively stock market in the United States over the past two years have indeed tasted a bit of success.

As an emerging force, Robles Securities and Moody's-Fitch are also willing to recruit these fresh college students.As a result, these two financial companies have a tradition of recruiting talents from prestigious universities.

Of course, only the best talents can be absorbed into Robes Securities, the top financial company on Wall Street.

...

The afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on the sea, like falling sand, which is really beautiful.Bathed in golden yellow, the William gradually docked, and the harbor was full of noise.

Situ Nan stood at the bow and watched the heads of the William Consortium walk down the trestle.After the meeting, this group of successful people with clothing and leather collars landed on the shore gracefully, and then filed into the cars that had been prepared for their respective missions.

Situ Nan has arranged everything, it depends on the intensity of their execution.

"I know you are here! How about it? The scenery is good!" Hengda walked over with a spring breeze, still leaning on the civilization stick in his hand.

The ghost knows what civilization is about this stick, but British gentlemen love to do it, and the upstarts in the United States have also learned it and don't feel cumbersome at all.

"You stand on the boat and watch the scenery, and the people watching the scenery watch you on the boat! This is a very strange feeling."

Situ South Road, the port under the finger, "I see, the boat over there is full of passengers from Europe. Although they have experienced a long sea trip, they seem to be cheering, it seems to be re-ignited after coming here. The hope of life."

He still remembered that when he first came to New York, he had nothing, at a loss, and didn't know where to go when he got down to land.

It feels somewhat similar to those passengers, but with a glimmer of hope in their hearts, but with confusion and longing for the future.

Five years later, in the same place, Situ Nan stood on the luxury cruise ship and looked at the busy crowd below, feeling unspeakable.

"A group of Italians!" Hengda muttered.He can tell from the shabby clothes of men and women, because immigrants from other countries generally care about decent.

bias!Situ Nan thought to himself.

"Hengda, do you remember what we used to do in California Diamond Oil?" Situ Nan asked.

"Of course! It was hard enough at the time. The company was started. You guys don’t care, and you left behind. Bok’s guy is also busy with his own business. The company is only busy with me. It's too loyal."

Hengda said indignantly, and then sighed: "But I didn't expect it to be like today!

Over the years, seeing you toss up such a career alone, Occidental Petroleum can have what it is today. Sometimes I think that taking you to Bok five years ago to get his oil drilling equipment is the best in my life. Good choice."

"Indeed. It is my luck to meet a friend like you. The stage that belongs to us in the future is still big!

Hengda, you know?Now Occidental Petroleum is considered good in the United States and the world, but most of its influence is mainly in the United States, and the European powers temporarily withdrew from the Far East to pick up some leftovers. This is obviously not enough. ."Situ South Road.

"Oh? Do you have any new goals?" Hengda couldn't help but get interested.

In recent years, since Situ Nan set off an oil boom in Texas, Occidental Petroleum has been cultivating and cultivating in California and Texas, laying a solid foundation, and building a complete oil industry chain. What's the big move, so many people think that Occidental Petroleum has satisfied their achievements.

"Yes. We have been silent for a long time, people are almost forgetting us, now is the time to show our fangs!"

Situ Nan nodded, drew a sketch of America on the floor with water, and then tapped it slightly near the Caribbean Sea.

"Venezuela?" Henda blurted out.

Venezuela is rich in oil resources. Everyone knows this. Occidental Petroleum has been coveting this for a long time.

However, the local traffic is not good. Many oil fields are buried in inaccessible places. Coupled with the factor of exploration technology, except for some shallow buried oil fields, Shell and Standard Oil have discovered, most of them are still undeveloped "virgin land" .

"Yes, Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela." Situ Nan said.

"Lake Maracaibo? I know that place. The company has also considered whether to enter Venezuela in a few years. But there are already many oil companies on Lake Maracaibo foraging there. Is it an advantage?"

Hengda said, he looked at Situ Nan and thought to himself: Does he have better attention?

"I'm talking about the east coast! Only there is no one patronizing it. This is our opportunity. As for other places, let others toss it! We only need the oil exploration rights on the east coast of Lake Maracaibo. "

Situ Nan said confidently.

"East bank of Lake Maracaibo! Birds don't shit there!" Hengda got closer and stared at Situ Nan eagerly.
