The journey starts from the Titanic

As if hearing Sloan's call, Pierre Dupont finally turned around and smiled at Laskobe: "Building a building is a good idea. You are right. We can't let Chrysler go down!"

"En." Raskob smiled and nodded.

"Then are you willing to be responsible for this?" Pierre Dupont asked again.

"Of course! It's my honor." Raskob believed himself.

"Then, you will concentrate on building the building in the future, and you won't have to intervene in the affairs of the car company. What do you think of this idea?" Pierre Dupont smiled and looked at Lascob with a calm face.

"This—what's the matter?"

Raskob had a surprised expression on his face, his mouth widened, looking at Pierre Dupont, and then at Sloan who was also surprised next to him, his eyes returned to Pierre Dupont’s face, seeing that he was not joking. , Tentatively asked, "Am I out?"

Pierre Dupont hesitated for a moment, and soon nodded gravely: "John, this is a difficult decision. The conflict between you and Alfred has affected the development of General Motors. Since the conflict cannot be resolved, then the breakup is destined. As a result. The major shareholder and chairman of the company, I have to make this decision."

"Why me?" Raskob was dissatisfied, his face flushed with anger. He didn't expect the turning point to come so quickly. He was given the task of building a mansion, but he wanted to leave General Motors. This-really unacceptable!

Pierre Dupont stabbed me!

Sloan did not speak, and looked at Pierre Dupont at this moment to see how he answered.

He was also shocked by Pierre Dupont’s decision just now, thinking: If you spend tens of millions of dollars, it would be worthwhile to drive away this nasty guy, Las Cobb!

"Man, you know me, and I know you. You are an excellent financial officer and an extraordinary talent. As for why you?

Ask yourself, if you think you can lead GM and do better than Alfred, I will reconsider this decision.

I want to hear your objective and unbiased answer, not a decision that was dazzled by anger."

Rascob was silent. He wanted to say that he led General Motors better than Sloan, but he couldn't say that.

As an excellent financial officer, he has the qualities of calmness and objectivity. To be fair, in addition to being uncomfortable with himself, Alfred Sloan is quite capable.

Rascob was unwilling to admit defeat easily, and even more unwilling to see the triumphant Sloan victor. He did not answer directly, but-"Pierre, I can't answer your question. I'll think about it. reply you."

"Okay!" Pierre Dupont nodded, knowing in his heart that Rascob has accepted the reality, why is he not clear about his personality?

Pierre Dupont knew what kind of person he was from the time Rascob became his secretary!

Genius proud not to admit defeat!

Pierre DuPont felt that Rascob’s talent should not be succumbed to General Motors. If possible, he could develop in politics and make up for the weakest part of the DuPont consortium.

Pierre Dupont smiled sincerely and reached out to shake Rascob's hand, "Business is business, and it won't affect our friendship, will it?"

"Yes, my friend!" Rascob smiled reluctantly, and shook Pierre Dupont's hand firmly. Their friendship for decades will not be easily destroyed.It’s hard to make a decision if you change to be yourself...

Despite the deep friendship between each other, Rascob understood that he was "injured" and would never be as obedient to Pierre DuPont as before!

The turmoil at General Motors lasted for several days and affected many stakeholders. For several days, Rascob did not go to work and seemed to have disappeared from General Motors. After all, he was the company’s financial officer, and his “indulgence” The company's financial situation has been a little messed up, and the people in the company are panicked and don't know where the high-level battle will go.

Pierre Dupont waited for a week, but Rascob still did not respond. He did not urge Rascob. If he called first, he had given up. At least it might give Rascob a false impression. Pierre Dupont did not want to give Rascob wrong information.

Sloan did not contact Rascob, and he should not be able to see the chaos of the company. Now he is an outsider, fighting against Pierre Dupont and Rascob.

Chapter 211 DuPont's Ambition for General Motors

Rascob returned home, dropped a few exquisite porcelains, and felt guilty about Pierre Dupont’s “betrayal”. He knew Pierre Dupont too much and seemed to give himself a choice. In fact, he had no choice. He patted his chest and said that he did a better job than Sloan. Can Pierre Dupont put himself on top?

Do not!

Will not!

I am one of the shareholders of General Motors, not a professional manager like Sloan without equity. Pierre DuPont may fear Sloan in the future, but he is even more worried about his partner!

The DuPont family is greedy. They want to keep all the good things in their arms and don’t share them with others. No matter how good they are, they will never become a member of the DuPont family. In order to prevent the loss of family wealth, this abnormal family unexpectedly Stick to the ancient traditions and marry within the family!

Except for members of the family, outsiders should never want to hold high positions in DuPont.

If General Motors was not founded by the DuPont family, and the DuPont family took over halfway through the magpie's nest, and temporarily failed to fully control General Motors, it would be impossible for Sloan to become the ceo.

"I don't have a DuPont surname after all, so it's time to plan for myself!"

After venting, Raskob finally accepted the reality. Instead of venturing with him, he might as well build a skyscraper and justify himself!

Rascob didn't want the opponent to calculate himself easily without paying a price, so he made a decision.

Just when Pierre Dupont was a little impatient, Raskob finally let go and agreed to withdraw from General Motors to build a building. He asked General Motors to borrow at least $50,000 to build a building for himself.

"John!"

At the end of the phone, Pierre Dupont called Rascob’s name affectionately as usual, asking, “You know, this is not appropriate. The board will not agree to let you build a building with the company’s money.”

"Pierre, I know you have a way, don't you always want to increase the shares of the car company? How about I mortgage my shares of General Motors to you?"

Raskob bargained.

He knows how greedy the DuPont family is for General Motors, and will definitely agree to his terms.

That's right, Rascob wants to build an Empire State Building for himself, not for General Motors!

Pierre DuPont was really moved. After some bargaining, Rascob got the funds to build the building, and the DuPont family was about to get the shares of General Motors in the hands of Rascob.

If it is acquired in the financial market again, Pierre DuPont is confident that it can increase GM's shares to 4%, or even 5%!

Although Pierre DuPont was a little bit unwilling to break up with Lascob, he did not forget to remind him of the direction of political development. The DuPont family will support Lascob's development in politics and cited the example of Andrew Mellon to Rascob.

Walking into Pierre Dupont's office again, Sloan was a little excited, and things should have come to fruition!

"Can't you even do a lame man?"

Putting down the phone, Pierre Dupont’s ridiculous tone echoed in Rascob’s ears. Pierre Dupont mentioned that Governor Roosevelt, who recently became famous, was somewhat touched by Rascob. Rascob murmured, yes Ah, even the lame can be governor, why can't he be president?

He did not make a decision immediately, but said that he would not forget the friendship with the DuPont family. Now the main task is to build a building that will endure his name and plan to use General Motors funds to help his dream!

"loan?"

Sloan was dissatisfied with Rascob's conditions. If he lends the money to the other party, the building has nothing to do with General Motors, and the building will not be named after General Motors.

"What do you think?" Pierre Dupont didn't want to fall out with Rascob. After all, he and General Motors owed each other a little bit. He tended to agree to Rascob's terms.

"Ok!"

Sloan gritted his teeth and promised that it could only be so.

Pierre Dupont smiled. Sloan's witty attitude made him appreciate it. Seeing Sloan look depressed, he comforted him: "Don't worry about funding. General Motors business is in good condition and can raise funds by issuing new shares in the market. I have informed Morgan Firm, they are also willing to help."

"Then I can rest assured!" Sloan smiled.
