[069] Carnegie's intention

Long Hao snorted: "There are gold mines, but it doesn't mean there are iron mines!" The most important thing to Carnegie, at present, is the iron mine.

Carnegie said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you have iron ore or not. The most important thing is that I like you! My instinct tells me that going against you will never end well, but if you follow you, there will always be Good!"

"Hey, I'm only 13 years old, please be a bit of a steel magnate, okay? Don't worship me like this, I will be under a lot of pressure!"

"No way, boy! Who told me to trust my intuition so much?"

Long Hao was discouraged for a while. He was not afraid of hooligans, but he was afraid that the hooligans would still be a steel tycoon: "I'm not kidding, even if Alaska is rich in iron ore, then who are you going to sell the steel you smelt? You said that American warships are useless. Now, are you going to sell steel to Germany and make battleships for Wilhelm II?"

Kaiser Wilhelm II had just ascended the throne not long ago, and he had not yet reached the crazy military situation before World War I. Long Hao's words were purely teasing.

Hmph, old man, show your cards down, I don't believe you are not behind!

Carnegie grinned, looking extremely wretched, and almost scared Seagate who was eating grapes: "The battleship will not be built for a while, but isn't there still the Alaska railway? Long Hao, I plan to form a railway company myself , The relationship between Zhong Yang Pacific Railway Company and Zheng Fu is too close, and there is also a suspicion that the tail is too big to lose, we will join hands to eat it, and there is still great hope!"

The target of the first flag sacrifice is the Pacific Railway Company! ?

Long Hao was taken aback: Carnegie's appetite is really king-level. Even though the Zhongyang Pacific Railway Company is only half the size of the Union Pacific Railway Company, it is still a giant. It will undoubtedly be a difficult task to defeat it.

Long Hao sniffed: "Old man, are you so confident?"

Carnegie said confidently: "You gave me confidence. As long as there is iron ore in Alaska, as long as Alaska can successfully establish a state, my Carnegie Steel Company will go all out. It is not difficult to clean up a railway company."

Long Hao nodded his head, knowing that this old and strong old man is not bragging. Although Carnegie Steel Company is in trouble now, it still has a huge influence in the western United States. The relationship broke out together, and it is not impossible for the United States to start another civil war!

You know, the Carnegie Steel Company was already a kingdom, a kingdom made of steel, and in the 19th century, all technologies and production lines were clearly marked and available for sale!As long as Carnegie divides up some industries and sells them in exchange for money, coupled with his terrifying industrial foundation, he can immediately produce a batch of war equipment that cannot be underestimated. However, those European powers may not give up such an opportunity to disrupt the United States.

It is precisely based on the above idea that so far, the methods of the Morgan consortium are still mild, trying to slowly cook Carnegie, a big frog, with a large pot of warm water!

If there is no Long Hao, the hero Carnegie may have gradually succumbed, but Long Hao is here, and the military level of his subordinates has been seen at Carnegie in San Francisco last time.Carnegie has an industrial foundation, and Long Hao has a strong source of troops. The combination of the two can be said to complement each other and benefit both sides.

I'm afraid this is Carnegie's real trump card of fearlessness.

Long Hao understands that it is not advisable to get to the bottom of everything. After all, he and Carnegie have just cooperated. After knowing about Carnegie's plan, he stopped talking wisely, but sighed in his heart: This old man is really worthy of destiny. My son, most of the plans in my heart coincide with mine, and it's really hard to tell who took advantage of whom when we cooperate with him!

With the strength of Carnegie's business in the United States for decades, the things that Long Hao lacked in the past - such as talents, equipment, land, factories, freighters, etc., which took time to slowly stock up - are all in place now. , although the 'loyalty' is not close, but Long Hao believes that it is not difficult to control these things with his own means!

After Long Hao finished talking with Carnegie, it was already 2 o'clock in the morning when he came out. Carnegie is a vigorous and decisive person. The purpose of this trip has been successfully completed, and he will leave Portland overnight with his Seagate card.

Andrew was also very worried, his daughter was too clingy to Long Hao, it would not be beautiful if she was abducted by this brat.

Out of courtesy, Long Hao went to deliver it in person. Carnegie's group rested in the backyard of the villa. Broch's villa is not big, and the outfits Carnegie brought basically took up the backyard.

There were four four-wheeled vehicles parked on the flat ground in the backyard. In the dark night, they looked like wild beasts resting on their knees. A group of men in black were holding guns and waiting quietly.

A thought suddenly popped into Long Hao's head: This old man is more like a gangster than John Birov!

Andrew Carnegie hugged the Seagate card that fell asleep after playing tired in one hand, opened the back door of a four-wheeled car with the other, and said, "Long Hao, let me say goodbye to you, and wait until I finish my work in Pittsburgh. I will come here to find you!"

Long Hao walked to the car, pinched Seagate's pink face, and said with a smile: "Okay, I may not be in Portland by then, but I will leave someone waiting for you in this villa!"

"it is good!"

Carnegie didn't talk nonsense, so he was about to get into the car with a short body.

"Wait a minute!"

Long Hao suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted.

"Huh?" Carnegie stopped, retracted his body, and frowned, "What else?"

Long Hao laughed and said, "Old man, I want to ask you, did you make these cars yourself? There was only one when I first met you, and there were two when you left the Xunmeng. It has become four! Do you think this big guy with four wheels can be sold as a commodity?"

When Long Hao saw the most primitive prototypes of these cars, he finally remembered what he planned to ask when he met Carnegie again: that is to use him to see if he can find Gottlieb Dame, the father of cars. Le!

Originally, Long Hao's memory was not bad, but it was Carnegie who gave him too much surprise tonight, and it was hard to digest for a while. If it wasn't for this, he would come to see Carnegie off, and saw these four cars passing by again. It must be an improved car, Long Hao must not be able to think of looking for Daimler.

Carnegie gasped in surprise, handed the Seagate card gently to the nanny beside him, and asked seriously, "Why, do you also think this four-wheeled car has great potential?"

More than potential, the future clearly proves that the automobile industry has a bright future, and making money is like printing money!

Don’t you see Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Volkswagen and other auto companies in the 20th century, a brand can support a country!Not to mention how many industrial workers the automobile industry has cultivated and how many innovative technologies it has spawned. It can be said that mastering the automobile is equivalent to mastering the golden key to a prosperous country and a strong people in the 20th century!

Long Hao nodded, pointed at the car and said, "When this thing is finished, the profits it makes will not be worse than what you can make from building warships!"

When Long Hao said that, he was still extremely conservative.
