Alchemy Greater China

Long Hao has never been afraid of poison, and alchemists have always been the natural enemies of poison, so he also picked up the coffee and took a sip without fear: "I have something to say, why did you suddenly change your mind, Mr. Stanford?"

Long Hao never believed Lilan's praise of "having a bottom line". He believed that when the two of them were alone, Lilan must have something very confidential to tell him.fastest update

Leland said solemnly: "Stanford University is my wish in my later years. I promise to hand it over to you, but you also have to promise me to carry it forward and become a world famous university!"

Long Hao said in surprise: "Cough, tell me...what do you want? I don't know why, I dare not accept it."

Leland smiled: "I was testing you just now, and the result I got was very satisfying. It seems that you and Andrew are determined to deal with the Zhongyang Pacific Railway Company."

Lilan was holding a cup of coffee, and there seemed to be four words written on his face: confident.

Long Hao's face darkened, and he denied it flatly: "Mr. Stanford, I'm sorry I don't understand what you are talking about!"

The discussion between Carnegie and Long Hao to bring down Zhongyang Pacific is still in the making. Even if Lilan guessed it, Long Hao couldn't admit it face to face.

Leland put down his coffee cup, his eyes sparkling: "I understand, you are worried about me, after all, I was the president of Zhongyang Pacific Railway Company! But it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, since you just refused to sell the Alaska railway construction rights I can tell right away, this construction right is the first heavy artillery shell that you and Andrew fired into the Central Pacific Ocean!"

Long Hao's heart sank, he really couldn't underestimate any celebrity in this era!Leland hid in the 'big ranch' for several years, but he only used a few words and a small trick of pointing east and west to understand Long Hao and Carnegie's hostility towards the Zhongyang Pacific Railway Company.

That's right, if Long Hao's real goal is to develop Alaska as soon as possible, it is the best choice to allocate part of the railway construction rights to the experienced Zhongyang Pacific Railway Company!Unfortunately, Long Hao's persistence made Li Lan see through all this.

Cough, I'm still too immature. Any celebrity in this era, under his prestige, actually has his inevitability!

Long Hao summed it up, then raised his head, with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth: "No matter what you think, my answer to you today is four words: no comment!"

So what if Leland knew?Long Hao suddenly figured it out: as long as he and Carnegie are strong enough to overwhelm them, how can Zhongyang Pacific be able to resist?

Yangmou is king.

Lilan shook his head: "Chief Guard, Long Hao, you don't have to be too nervous! We shouldn't be enemies, but comrades in the same camp... May as well let you know that the Zhongyang Pacific Railway Company is our common enemy!"

What?Long Hao was stunned: The former president of Zhongyang Pacific actually had a feud with this railway company?

Leland chuckled and said, "It's nothing surprising, as long as you allow me to join you and Andrew's plan to destroy the Zhongyang Pacific Railway Company, then Stanford University will be yours!"

After Long Hao's in-depth understanding, he found that this matter is actually very easy to understand.

On the battlefield of capital, there has never been an eternal enemy or an unchanging ally. Leland Stanford retired from the Zhongyang Pacific Railway Company. On the surface, he left the railway business, but in fact, his influence on the construction of the western American railways has never disappeared .

Whether it is an old subordinate who is still working in Zhongyang Pacific or an old friend who has transferred to work in a major western state capital, the network of these contacts is still serving Leland Stanford. Otherwise, this California industrialist How can a tycoon continue to grab wealth after staying away from the railway center?

Although Lilan doesn't directly build the railway anymore, relying on the surrounding emerging industries driven by the railway, he has a good vision. He invests in hotels, ranches, parts factories and other industries, and still makes a lot of money!

It's a pity that the current president of Zhongyang Pacific is following the lead of the Morgan Consortium, and the Morgan Consortium also uses this powerful industrial force entrenched in the western United States to transfer capital to the relatively barren west in order to seek new profit growth points. Many new factories, All seriously touched the interests of Leland Stanford.

Although Leland has been living in seclusion in recent years, he is unwilling to be defeated by the Morgan consortium. It just so happens that the discovery of a large mine deposit in Alaska and the construction of a railway made this tycoon keenly aware of the opportunity: to cooperate with Carnegie Join hands and use Long Hao, the actual master of Alaska, to wrestle with the powerful Morgan consortium!

With a common enemy, the conversation between the two sides becomes much more harmonious.

After Long Hao finished his coffee calmly, he stretched out his hand to Lilan: "So, wish us a happy cooperation?"

Leland waved his hand, with a lonely face, without the slightest joy that should have been: "In fact, we don't have a great chance of winning by defeating Morgan, but my days are numbered. In the last stage of my life, I can compete with such an opponent , to create a clear blue sky for the Stanford family, this is my wish."

Long Hao blinked: "Forgive me for being abrupt, do you... only have one son?"

Lilan's dead gray eyes suddenly lit up, like the afterglow of madness before the cigarette butts burned out: "Yes, I only have one son, but he is dead! He died eight years ago, when he was only 15...15 Year old!!"

Little Lilan was like the reverse scales on old Lilan's neck, and also like a scar on his body. Long Hao suddenly mentioned that it was like uncovering Lilan's scar. In eight years, he thought he had already healed, but Unexpectedly, the blood and flesh underneath are still bright red, and the pain is burning!

Lilan was trembling all over, the tall wheelchair seemed to collapse at any moment, his calm face was like a volcano before eruption, red and ferocious.

It seems that old Lilan was really hurt by Long Hao!

Facing Leland Stanford's anger, Long Hao was not afraid at all. He pressed his hands and said, "Mr. Stanford, please calm down! I am also very sorry for the young master's death! But I don't intend to hurt you, my Meaning, haven't you had another one in the eight years since?"

With Elilan's wealth, he could find another woman to give birth to an heir.

Leland gasped heavily, and he patted the armrest of the wheelchair vigorously: "I love Jane (Jane)... I will not recognize his surname Stanford except for the child born from Jane's womb!"

From this point of view, the love between Leland and Jane can be called "loyal and unswerving until death". What a blow to him.

Long Hao sighed: "If that's the case, what family do you have? You don't even have any descendants."

Leland's emotions had calmed down at this time, and he snorted: "I have brothers, and they will strengthen the Stanford family! I have already written a will, and when I die, my property will be donated to the public!"

Long Hao said: "Oh, you are so great! But if we knock down the Morgan consortium, your property will increase by at least ten times. Are you still willing to donate such a large amount of wealth to someone who has nothing to do with it?"

Lilan stared: "Increase ten times? Then I will donate as well. When a person dies, he can't take anything with him, right?"

Long Hao chuckled: "Yeah, that will only happen after the person dies...Okay, Mr. Stanford, our time is very precious, why don't you wait for me to visit Stanford University and sign a transfer agreement with you when I come back?" contract?"

Long Hao spoke in a very low voice, and Lilan didn't hear clearly and didn't care. He nodded and said, "Although Pala Alto is close to San Francisco, the road is not very easy... In this way, I will prepare everything in three days. Still waiting here for you."

Long Hao smiled lightly, "See you then!"
