Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 387 The American Savior

Wall Street, Morgan Building
Before JPMorgan and Chase merged, this was the headquarters of the Morgan consortium in New York, not far from the iconic buildings of the two Morgan consortiums in New York, the Morgan Bank Headquarters and the Morgan Library.

Speaking of which, Morgan & Co. can be said to be a British company at the earliest. Simply put, in the period of British companies, it can be called the era of Morgan [-] and Morgan [-], that is, the era of J.P. Morgan's father and grandfather.

However, after J.P. Morgan opened a branch in the United States, and after a series of reorganizations with other consortium companies, Morgan, which became an American company, continued to move funds from Europe under the decision of the helm.

After growing together with the United States time and time again, the current Morgan consortium can be said to be one of the top consortiums in this country.

One rub, two rubs, three rubs, four rubs, four generations of single pass, achieved Morgan's status in later generations...

On the top floor of the building, little Morgan walked into his father's office with a stack of documents in his hand.

"Father!" Little Morgan called softly.

Behind the luxurious desk, a huge chair slowly turned around, and an old man with wrinkled face appeared in front of little Morgan. This man was the well-known J.P. Morgan, also known as Samo.

At this time, the old Morgan was already 73 years old, but his body was still strong, and he was firmly in control of the Morgan consortium, the giant commercial ship of the United States.In the many portraits that have been circulated, the old man's appearance is very dignified.But if you look closely at this time, the face of the traditional white man has a huge nose and is full of scars, which are left by an incurable disease.

As for why later generations see the majestic appearance, it must be the relationship between the green dollars and the painters and photographers.

"I heard that your project has been confirmed?" Old Morgan asked slowly. He also knew that at this age, he would also delegate authority to his son.This year, Jr. Morgan's job will also change. He will no longer be the manager of Morgan Bank, but will start the business of the consortium.

Just like the successors cultivated by the consortium of later generations, an independent fund will be controlled by Morgan Jr. this year.

This is the old Morgan's means of evaluating his son's vision, courage, and decision-making ability.Little Morgan's means depended on how much rights Old Morgan would give his son in the future.

"Father is confirmed!" Little Morgan handed over the information in his hand.

Old Morgan took the documents and walked slowly to the sofa in the office, and began to look through them.

The only sound in the room was the sound of rattling papers, filling the room with a depressing atmosphere, not like a father and son, but like a superior and a subordinate.

"Ailon Company?" Old Morgan looked at the investment plan and asked a little surprised. He thought that his son planned to start making a fuss about the real industry just like himself. After all, he had laid a solid foundation over the years. Thick enough for his son to display.

"Yes, father, I think the entertainment industry has great potential in the future!" Little Morgan's tone was flat, but his voice was still trembling.Because anyone who is facing this person who has saved the American economy three times will be like this, even if this person is his father, the depression just now made him feel a little trembling.

Of course, I was even more afraid of my father's refusal, since this is a new industry after all.

"Do you know the background of this company?"

"It's clear that people from the Qing Dynasty are behind it, that is, the Hanyao Chamber of Commerce, which has been cooperating more and more closely with U.S. Steel in the past two years. Now that European funds are also beginning to gather in the United States, it seems that the people from the Qing Dynasty also want to come here to develop."

"People from the Qing Dynasty!" Old Morgan thought for a while. The Morgan Company actually had business in the Qing Dynasty, and that was the creditor of the Huguang Railway. "Jack! This matter has to be considered again. Although the president has opened a signal of goodwill towards the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese anti-Chinese sentiment in the entire United States is still high. The Qing people are different from us. They are the United States. The tenants of the house, unlike us, are the owners of this place."

Jack is the name of Jr. Morgan, whose full name is John Jack Pierpont Morgan

"It is precisely because of this that I think this is the main reason why we invested in this company! I have also been struggling with the flow of Aaron's company recently, and their profits are very high!" Little Morgan said.

"The profit is high?" Old Morgan was a little displeased, he didn't like this reason.

There are many companies with high profits these years, such as Edison's General Electric Company. Although the profits are high, in order to integrate resources and develop better, the old Morgan still relies on his own influence to match up with Thomson-Houston Power. The company merged to become General Electric, and the Morgan consortium was just a shareholder and did not want to dominate.

"Besides, this is still an opportunity!" Little Morgan said again, this time looking more confident.

"what chance?"

"An opportunity like you saved the US economy three times!" Morgan Jr. said firmly.

Morgan Sr. saved the United States three times. The first time was during the Civil War, when the federal government faced a serious financial crisis and decided to issue $4 million in public bonds.And Morgan Bank undertook the issuance of 2 million US dollars of treasury bonds, making a lot of money, and at the same time, it became a hidden way to save the United States.

The second time was the railway. When the chaotic railway competition was facing bankruptcy, the Morgan consortium made a full-scale move to integrate the American railways. When the American railways were finally merged into six major systems divided by region, four of the systems were under the Morgan family under the control or influence ofTwo-thirds of the railways are controlled by the Morgan consortium, and the US Steel under its jurisdiction is still breaking new highs in the annual production of rails.

The third time was a few years ago, in 1907, when the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, had not yet been established. In [-], an economic panic broke out in the United States.The old Morgan stepped forward again to save the American economy.

The news of the Morgan consortium appeared in the major media more than once during this period. "For-profit patriotism" is the highest evaluation of the old Morgan.

"Tell me!" Old Morgan became interested.

"Ailon's company is different from other Qing people. Do you know what the first thing they did after Ailon's company made a profit?" Little Morgan deliberately closed the door, and the whole person began to relax.

"what?"

"They bought a lot of land in the southern part of the United States!" Little Morgan said firmly.

"Oh?"

"I don't know why, but I think they really started construction on this land, not returning to China! Like black people, this company began to lead the integration of Chinese into American society!
Chinese, this is a huge group in the United States, we can get continuous feedback from the construction of the railway, this is a group with its own culture, they are much more docile than the blacks who are fighting for rights! "Jr. Morgan said that promoting the integration of Chinese into American society is, in his opinion, a contribution no less than saving the American economy.

"Oh? That's really different!" Old Morgan muttered something in his heart, then got up, called his secretary, and after making a few phone calls, he said emotionally: "Since it's decided, you Just go talk, look at these lands, what are they going to do?"

After a few phone calls, old Morgan was also very puzzled, what are these lands used for?
oil?mineral?
But do those mountainous lands with a temperate climate in the south really have these?He couldn't help thinking... Perhaps to find out, Old Morgan paused briefly, as if he was waiting for something.

"Father, this time, I want to appear in the name of the Morgan Consortium..."

"In the name of the consortium?"

"Well, Aron's company is not short of money." This is the result of Morgan Jr.'s recent analysis.

Not to mention the popular Aaron radio now, the popularity of novel radio dramas like "Gone with the Wind" alone has made Aaron Broadcasting Company start to insert commercials.

Why are Airon radios selling so well?

Hearing it every day will inevitably give people the pre-emptive impulse to buy. It is foreseeable that the advertising revenue of the broadcasting company will also become a large amount of income for the Aron Broadcasting Company in the future.

What does this kind of mature company with a clear profit model invest in? That is to use its own advantages to make up for the shortcomings of others, which is what Morgan Jr. believes is mutual benefit.At present, what is Aaron's most lacking?
They are from the Qing Dynasty, so it can be said that they are not familiar with the place where they were born in the United States. They are not only applicable to the Qing Dynasty, but also applicable to the United States.If it needs to develop in the United States, the Morgan consortium will become the biggest support for Aaron Broadcasting Corporation.

Although there are now a group of lawyers from Columbia University who have provided comprehensive legal protection for Aaron Corporation, the capital has grown to a certain level.

law?Ah!

Jr. Morgan took advantage of this and planned to negotiate with Elon Company. He will not allow mistakes in his first self-made fund, and the success or failure of his own investment will be related to his future status in the Morgan consortium.

A Morgan Consortium that is recognized by all beneficiary groups of the Morgan Consortium and can be proficiently driven like its own arm is completely different from a prosthetic limb that was forcibly pressed by one's own father.Little Morgan also has his own ambitions, and he definitely doesn't want to fight again in the renewal of rights in the future, which will consume his own strength.

Then, when the old Morgan can still fully control the consortium, it is very important to highlight his ability, and this time the decentralization of investment.

"Okay, let's try it!" Old Morgan agreed after thinking about it.He is not old and stubborn. The United States in the 20th century was the most receptive to new things. This is an era of technological explosion, and any unthinkable things are considered possible.

……

after one day
Zhu Chuanjie was notified by Xia Chi.

"Brother Xia?" Zhu Chuanjie pushed open the door, looked at the joy on Xia Chi's face, and asked, "It's done?"

"It's done!"

Xia Chi immediately stood up, opened the drawer, took out an invitation card and walked towards the door. Two men were standing at the door, holding an invitation card, with smiles on their faces, as if they were invitations from a peerless beauty. It's an excited look.

Now I can explain to the Prime Minister!Xia Chi thought to himself.

"Private invitation?" Zhu Chuanjie looked at the invitation above and said.

Little Morgan is still very cautious, consciously not knowing the details of Ailon's company, so he decided to test the rumors first.Therefore, they did not directly ask the Morgan consortium to issue any formal documents, but instead invited Zhu Chuanjie to his house, which is next door to Zhu Chuanjie, in the name of a private person, and the two families planned to get to know each other formally.

It can be said that neighbors, this gave Zhu Chuanjie and Morgan Jr. an excellent excuse.Of course, these are all artificially created!

"General manager, do you want me to accompany you?" Xia Chi asked.

"Let me take the jade book to visit together. Let the managers from the firm keep an eye on those Chinese accountants. Our financial statements should look better. The money drawn from Ailon Company during this period will be used I bought the land, I don't know if the Morgan consortium would mind." Zhu Chuanjie thought for a while and said.

Little Morgan's invitation, he knows what to talk about.The Elon Broadcasting Company is just an introduction, and there will be larger-scale investments in the future. It depends on whether Morgan dares to follow suit!

"Well, I got it, general manager, I think the time is tonight, your house, I will put some good hands tonight, if I meet..."

"Brother Xia, you have to change your mind!" Zhu Chuanjie interrupted Xia Chi with a smile, "It's not appropriate to fight and kill in the United States. Sophisticated people and green "swords" are the way to do things here!"

Although the 1000 hunters from Ice City were fully dispersed, and the point is, they were fully armed to defend the radio assembly plant in San Francisco and the Aron Broadcasting Company in New York, but so far they have not encountered any danger.

The reputation of the Allon Broadcasting Company in the past six months has been great, but in the era when there was no mafia in Chicago, the American people were looking at money, and the city as a whole was surprisingly civilized.

Of course, where there is black, there is white, and where there is white, there is gray. There are also people at the bottom of society who don't open their eyes and feel that Aaron Company is easy to bully, but as soon as the well-equipped and organized hunters and security make a move, these local chickens and dogs are instantly defeated.

Not to mention that Zhu Chuanjie took advantage of his legal expertise to establish the legal department of Ailon Company, all of whom were graduates of the law department of Columbia University. They were the white gloves of the hunter's black hands, and he would suffer from such power.

According to what Zhu Chuanjie and Xia Chi said: "Brother and sister-in-law dared to venture into the ice city back then, if I were to do a bad job now, wouldn't I be despised by Zhu Chuanwu, a guy who is full of love and love?"

Rivalry between brothers is everywhere...

at night
231 Madison Avenue

"Mr. Morgan, thank you for your invitation. This is my fiancee Xia Yushu." After Zhu Chuanjie knocked on the door with a gift, he saw little Morgan at home and began to introduce him.

This time Xia Yushu also worked hard, and the school forced her to deduct credits and asked for leave.

"Mr. Zhu, we meet again. We are neighbors. Naturally, we need to get to know each other formally. This is my wife." Little Morgan also introduced to the people beside him. At the same time, there were two running around from the house, These are his two sons.Since the Wumo era, the family has finally prospered.

After sitting at the dining table, the dinner for the two families officially began.

Eastern and Western cultures, all over the world, and the development of science and technology are all topics of discussion between the two men. It can be said that Zhu Chuanjie's knowledge is taught by Zhu Chuanwen's precepts and deeds, but he has a broader vision than many people in this world. Morgan, who has been educated by American elites since childhood, is a little impressed.

I don't know for a while whether Columbia University's education level is higher than Harvard's, or the Zhu family is like this?
"Mr. Zhu, chatting with you is so pleasant!" Little Morgan stopped eating after feeling full, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and had an unprecedented smile on his face.

Very comfortable, this is a kind of pleasure brought about by equal exchanges, and the experience of the Qing Dynasty Ice City has opened his eyes a bit. It is not advanced, but a way of cultivating people other than the operation of the business model.

Hanyao's office in the United States had paid a lot of money to the people at U.S. Steel before, in order to use the Morgan consortium to impose the chances of Hanyao Middle School students enrolling in famous universities in the United States.

"Mr. Morgan, I also enjoyed chatting with you!" Zhu Chuanjie also stopped eating, saying that it doesn't matter if you don't get enough for a meal. He came to Little Morgan's house just for eating, so he might as well endure it and go back to Bingcheng Have a few meals of wagyu gyoza.

"Mr. Zhu, would you like to have a drink in my wine room?" Little Morgan formally extended an invitation to Zhu Chuanjie.

"I can't ask for it!"

Under the dim light, the two men each hold a glass of red wine in their hands.

"Mr. Zhu, I want to become a shareholder of your Ailong company!" After chatting for a while, Jr. Morgan formally put forward his opinion, which was also the purpose of inviting Zhu Chuanjie to come to the house this time.

"It's finally here!" Zhu Chuanjie thought in his heart, but when the words came to his mouth, it became: "Mr. Morgan, you know, our Ailon Company is not short of funds!" He shook the red wine glass in his hand, his cheeks slightly flushed.

"But you are also looking for a partner, aren't you? Mr. Zhu, from what you said just now, it proves that you are not a person who likes to eat alone. Only when many people work together can the light shine brighter!" Little Morgan said. An American proverb, when translated, naturally means that everyone gathers firewood and the fire burns high.

"Is this what Mr. Morgan meant, or the Morgan consortium?" Zhu Chuanjie simply stopped hiding it, and the purpose of submitting the loan application to Morgan Bank was naturally to attract funds.

Two smart people tacitly.

"Is there any difference?" Little Morgan pretended to be confused with understanding.

"Mr. Morgan, if it is your personal funds, I welcome it, but the share will not be too large. But if it is the Morgan consortium, I can directly sell 40% of the shares of Aron Broadcasting Company.

As you know, Aaron Radio now has the No. 20 listening rate in the United States. This is what we have achieved in just half a year. "Zhu Chuanjie became very confident. The self-confidence displayed by the [-]-year-old young man made Morgan even feel ashamed.

Even if it is a newly developed industry, being the first in the industry naturally has its own unique features.

"40%, that sounds pretty good, including the land bought by your Ailon Company?" Little Morgan's words not only answered whether it was the Morgan consortium, but also took his father's question, and wanted to test it out.

"Land?" Zhu Chuanjie shook his head with a smile, "No, no, Mr. Morgan, this land and the broadcasting company are not the same company. A week ago, our Ailon Company established another subsidiary company, and these lands belong to this company. Subsidiary industry."

"You are planning to enter the United States in an all-round way..." Little Morgan thought to himself, saying that his judgment was indeed correct. Although Ailon Company has Qing people behind it, it does not intend to become a foreign-funded company, but intends to Completely integrated into American society, and their reliance is those Chinese Americans who have already had a foundation in the United States for one generation, or even two generations.

Zhu Chuanjie seemed to see through the thoughts in Morgan's heart, and said immediately: "I have never encountered the current business environment in the United States. This is a country that is naturally suitable for businessmen!"

"Is it convenient to reveal what you are using these lands for? Mining or oil exploration?" Little Morgan asked with great interest.

Originally, this was actually a commercial secret, but at this time, it was Zhu Chuanjie's secret weapon to win over the Morgan consortium, because all the production materials in these places were completely in Zhu Chuanjie's hands.

"Tung oil!" Zhu Chuanjie spit out a word slowly!
　I originally wanted to write more at 9 o'clock, but when I saw a master in the comment area urging me every half an hour, and even using torture words, I suddenly felt a huge sense of guilt.Let's start first, and there will be another chapter at 12 o'clock.I don't mean to be perverted, I don't mean to torture on purpose, the gentlemen like it is my motivation, but it is indeed a sporadic time to pick up the computer and there will be a burst of crackling, forgive me!
