Looking at Todd's eyes shining like a wild beast, Ma Han thought of the "gunboat lunatic" in the navy countless years ago, he sighed slightly in his heart, and said: "Okay, I will try it, but you have to do well Get ready, your misdeeds back then had too much influence, I'm afraid those generals like Dewey won't allow you to exist!"

Todd blushed, and raised his glass: "Alfred, as long as you intercede for me, no matter success or failure, I will have no complaints!"

Ma Han also raised his wine glass, touched Todd lightly, shook his head and said, "Hey, it's really expensive to eat your meal!"

First Roosevelt formed the Army, and then Todd entered the Navy!

Ma Han sipped his red wine and thought: Maybe, the era of imperial dominance and hegemony is really coming!The first goal, where should I choose...

Mahan and Todd can be regarded as American Mesozoic doers, they represent the hope of the rising sun in the United States, and in a building near the Wall Street Stock Exchange, John Davis Rockefeller is sitting In a private cabin, with his hands under the table, his eyes were piercing, and he was concentrating on the documents spread out on the table.Visit download txt novel

Rockefeller, the actual controller of the U.S. oil trust, his life is full of legends. In a short period of time, he has earned money that others cannot earn in hundreds of lifetimes. His wealth is said to have reached 10 More than [-] million US dollars!

Dodd waited respectfully at the table. He understood John's habit. When he was thinking, he would never allow others to disturb him!

Rockefeller's complexion was a little pale. Although he was old, his broad forehead, sharp eyebrows, and handsome lips all showed the calmness, shrewdness, and determination of this oil magnate. Dodd had seen this scene countless times , He clearly knew that when Rockefeller raised his head again, a correct decision that could make a lot of profits would come out.

Just like when Rockefeller issued the 'trust certificate' and formally established a huge oil trust...

After a long time, the stove under the table was almost extinguished, and Rockefeller slowly raised his head.

That document was a condensed overview given by Dodd based on recent information from multiple sources. After reading it for so long, Rockefeller was actually making a decision instead of analyzing it!

Objective decisions without a trace of human emotion!

The corner of Rockefeller's mouth twitched in an extremely elegant arc: "Dodd, what do you think?"

Dodd was taken aback. In his impression, even when Rockefeller rejected Zheng Fu's proposal to split the 'Exxon-Mobil Oil Company' not long ago, he didn't have the slightest consultative tone!In his opinion, as long as John speaks, it must be the right decision!

But now, he is actually asking for my opinion? ?Dodd hesitated.

Dodd made a few words in his heart, and then he said: "John, I think this matter is very simple. If a large oil field is discovered in Alaska, we will buy it, and if it is just various ores, we don't need to get involved. !"

Falcao’s mine surveying team is in Alaska, and the latest survey progress is returned to New York, Washington and other places every day. Dodd’s words can be said to be steady: Rockefeller’s monopoly in the oil field has attracted many old and emerging companies. The dissatisfaction and covetousness of the rich, at this time, as long as there is no threat to the oil company, it is better to stay by the side and wait for it to change!

Rockefeller pulled out a hand from under the table. He was pale and bloodless. He gently clasped the table and said, "I saw the crisis from the cold Alaska! If my body allows, I will definitely go to Alaska for investigation. , What a pity... Dodd, don't use the trust's money this time, let go of the Morgan consortium stock and a small amount of Mobil stock that I personally hold, and use the money returned to buy Alaska from small companies that have auctioned the contracting rights as much as possible. My mining contract right, remember, don’t reveal my background, keep a low profile!”

Dodd was surprised, he understood that John was optimistic about the prospects of Alaska!

This is not surprising, since it was confirmed that Alaska is another gold-rushing mecca after California, the mineral contracting rights that were once scoffed at, as well as the stocks of Morgan and Carnegie, have been rising steadily. John wants to reach out and choose It is really normal for those small companies that have had a lot of luck to forcibly acquire the contracting rights.

However, what is the purpose of selling the shares of the Morgan consortium?Could it be that this Alaskan gold rush will have any adverse impact on Morgan?Impossible. Gen ran to Portland at the risk of falling out with all his allies, and spent a lot of money to bid for 15 contracting rights. His interests should be on the same level as Alaska's...

If you are optimistic about Alaska, you should not underestimate Morgan!

Dodd suddenly felt that John was still so unpredictable, every word and deed made him confused, as if he was in a deep fog, unable to grasp the real center.

Dodd asked: "Why did you sell the stocks of the Morgan consortium? Now, in the stock exchange, the stock prices of various companies under Morgan have risen sharply! Their stocks are all pending buy orders, and no one is selling them at all!"

Nonsense, the stocks of the Morgan Consortium are high-quality, and with the hype in Alaska, the Morgan Consortium, which has 15 contracting rights, can't make a lot of money on the land of Alaska?Such stocks are definitely profitable, and no one would be willing to throw them away!

Rockefeller smiled meaningfully: "It's good if the stock price is high, so that there will be enough funds to return! Dodd, can you estimate how many contracting rights can be bought with this money? Shhh, I still don't have Carnegie and Morgan I know very well that my strength lies in my calm mind!"

Rockefeller pointed to his head, feeling a little complacent, but his face became paler.

Dodd did some calculations, and replied: "According to the current market situation, one contracting right is around 100-300 million US dollars. Considering the snap-up of the Jewish consortium and the Wasp consortium, if you want to win it absolutely, you need at least 500 million US dollars. Well, if you sell off the Morgan stock, you can buy about 5 contracting rights!"

Rockefeller snorted, and said, "There are only five... a bit small!"

Both Carnegie and the Morgan family have 15. As Rockefeller, whose status is equal to or even better than Rockefeller, 5 contracting rights are indeed a bit shabby.

Dodd said: "There is no way, now we are in the 'high pursuit of long', the purchase cost is naturally high! Unless you sell a large amount of Mobil stock to cash out...but I think it is definitely not worth it!"

"You're right, Mobil is our foundation, and we can't move it!" Rockefeller thought for a while, and said, "In this way, a total of 3 contracting rights are bought, and the remaining money, you help me inject capital into the card as an anonymous consortium Base Steel Company!"

"Carnegie's steel company??" Dodd said in surprise: "You are optimistic about the steel king? But, I heard that he is selling most of the company's real estate and is planning to leave Pittsburgh!"

Unlike the Morgan consortium, although Carnegie also won 15 Alaska mining contract rights, his company's stock did not rise like a rainbow. There are many reasons for this.

Some people said that Carnegie owed loans to many banks and was short of cash. The contracting rights were purchased with borrowed money, and now he is preparing to sell the contracting rights to pay off the debts.

It is also said that Carnegie's 15 contracting rights are not very rich in mineral reserves under the location, and their value has shrunk greatly.

Some people even said that Carnegie's steel company was suppressed by the U.S. Steel Corporation, lost many sources of iron ore, could not start production, and was only one step away from bankruptcy.

All kinds of rumors hovered over the eastern part of the United States, in New York, and on Wall Street, which led to a serious lack of confidence in Carnegie's investors, and his company's stock price naturally rose slowly, or even stood still.

And when last week, a newspaper disclosed that Carnegie was secretly selling off the factory at a low price in his old nest in Pittsburgh, on the stock market, Carnegie's steel stock fell by 5 percentage points in an instant! !

Rockefeller licked his tongue and said with a smile, "I know, but isn't this the right word for helping people in need? Regardless of the significance of Carnegie's move to sell the factory and fire the workers, he must be short of money right now!"

Dodd nodded: "I see, I'm going to handle these things now!"

When the unsmiling Rockefeller licked his tongue and smiled, Dodd understood that this was when the oil tycoon made his final decision. At this time, all words were superfluous, and he only needed to carry out his orders seriously.

Rockefeller was planning, and the rest of the consortium was also in action. Dodd's acquisition was not destined to go smoothly.
