Chapter 296 Boston eats melon masses
From this point of view, Carnegie's remaining shares in the steel company can be used as a guarantee for his daughter in the future. Sheffield felt that he was doing a good deed. From the analysis of historical data, Carnegie's daughter should have inherited the inheritance when Carnegie died.
Less than one-tenth of Carnegie's wealth during his lifetime.
The remaining shares are definitely more valuable than Carnegie's original will, and others have no inheritance rights. Prenuptial agreements have already appeared in the United States in this era, and Carnegie himself was a pioneer in this area. He and his wife signed a prenuptial agreement.
Just got married.
As for how the wealth of Carnegie's daughter disappeared, Sheffield didn't know, but he knew that after Rockefeller Jr., starting from the third generation of members of the Rockefeller family, the Rockefeller family began to marry into other companies. In fact, starting from Iraq
Dice Rockefeller had already started the marriage, and she was a replacement for the younger Rockefeller in the marriage.
The Rockefeller family and the Carnegie family have been married before, but I don't know which generation started.
"Do you want to get ahead of little Rockefeller?" After careful consideration in his mind, Sheffield decided to forget it. Carnegie's daughter is only three years old now. Thinking about this, he felt that he was too bereft and wanted to treat a three-year-old.
If a girl wants to do something, even if it's a marriage, she can't do it on her own. There's a big age difference.
As for the grand reception after the contract, Sheffield has no interest. He is not very good at dancing and can only sit and drink and chat. There is still a lot to do before signing the contract and leaving.
"In our contract, if Carnegie wants to sell the remaining shares, he must get the consent of the two of us. Adding Carnegie's remaining 10% of the shares, the three of us occupy 70% of the steel company's shares and go public.
To be on the safe side, we still have to hold a relatively majority shareholding." Sheffield held the goblet and greeted the young Rockefeller who had just left the dance floor.
Young Rockefeller sat down directly, nodded and said, "I understand your difficulty. After all, this amount of money is not a small amount to anyone."
"You don't need to say that a new richest man in the United States has been born." Sheffield blew his hair close to his eyebrows. "Not only have I transferred funds from various departments of the United Company, including supermarket chains and oil revenue, they belong to me.
You owe a lot of money to a lot of people, including the Vanderbilt family, can you believe it?"
As for Edith Rockefeller's money, Sheffield did not mention it. If he had to mention it, he would only say that one family does not talk about two families. He believed that the pressure on Standard Oil was not small, and this was not something that could be taken out at the drop of a hat.
Already.
So at the beginning, the two of them were mentally prepared. The new Carnegie Standard United Steel Company must be listed for cash. The prospect of living alone is certainly very good, but they must also act within their capabilities. Otherwise, they may be like Mr. Chang.
That makes me feel good about myself, and I feel that the odds of winning between 800,000 and 600,000 are pretty good.
Compared with the long-term accumulation of Standard Oil, the pressure on Sheffield is still greater. After all, before this, United Company was an asset-heavy company and there were not many industries that could be monetized. To be able to appear here, side by side with Standard Oil
, supermarket chains and petroleum have already performed beyond their capabilities.
This 150 million must not be swiped away, some must be recovered through the stock market, otherwise there is a risk of the capital chain breaking. There is no need for future generations to look for examples. In this era, many of the opponents of Rockefeller, Morgan, and Carnegie,
There have been many cases where the capital chain was broken and the business collapsed. These tycoons have made these tycoons famous with their own blood.
However, there are advantages to having a large stall. If that doesn't work, the joint company can still sell land. As the saying goes, third-rate companies sell products, second-rate companies sell services, first-class companies sell concepts, and super-first-class companies sell buildings! Sony sold its headquarters
After surviving the difficulties, you can switch to a joint company and sell the land.
"This is not a problem. If a steel company goes public, you only need to be careful with Morgan. But to be honest, even Morgan can't do anything to the listing of such a large steel company." Young Rockefeller comforted.
"I am most afraid of him at this time. A few years ago, when my small company went public, he was disgusted." Sheffield still remembers that Coca-Cola encountered unusual troubles when it went public.
But at that time, Coca-Cola was not a problem for Sheffield. Now if it finds trouble when it is listed, it will be fatal. This steel company has his entire net worth now.
"No, if Morgan gets in the way, it will only ruin his own reputation." Young Rockefeller glanced at Sheffield, showing the latter a guilty conscience, and finally said softly, "Are you afraid that the capital chain will be broken? In fact, you
As long as you ask me, none of this will be a problem."
"All I have to do is ask you, and of course none of this is a problem, just bring it!" Sheffield stretched out his hand toward little Rockefeller, making a begging gesture.
"What?" This made little Rockefeller confused. He couldn't figure out which one Sheffield was from.
"About the extension of the Texas oil field contract!" Sheffield raised his eyebrows and said as if I was very smart. "You are worried that half of the oil revenue in my hands is not a day or two, and you even dream of extending it. Do you think
I have no idea?"
"Hehe, but you won't agree without encountering difficulties!" Little Rockefeller snorted, knowing that this attempt had been expected a long time ago. It doesn't matter, there must be other ways. He felt that he would definitely not lose one in vain.
Sister, I can definitely find the place somewhere.
The merger of Carnegie Steel Company has been settled, but the aftermath has just begun. There are different interpretations for the parties involved. Edith Rockefeller's marriage directly led to the merger of Standard Oil and Chicago Industries.
In recent years, the relationship between Standard Oil and United Company has been the focus of discussion among many companies. No one knows how far the two companies can cooperate. However, through this merger, everyone understands that the cooperation between the two companies can reach
The upper limit is unimaginable.
"Do you think it's true that there are some rumors that Edith Rockefeller ate slave owners who had never seen the world?" Adams had a happy expression on his face, indicating that although his family had produced two generations of presidents,
But he is also very interested in the affairs of Xia San Road, "Little Rockefeller's sister seems to be much older than the slave owner, right? From this point of view, Edith Rockefeller's child is his."
"Don't talk nonsense without evidence. The one who is suffering now is the Morgans. Anyone with eyes knows that the founding of U.S. Steel was the result of the Morgans trying to replicate the penetration of the railroad. No one was aware of it.
Next, integrate the Steel Order. This kind of infiltration was successful once, but now it is blocked by two companies. Morgan's temper is probably so angry that he wants to jump out of ****'s office." Lowell also said nothing.
There is no gloating tone, "Since I can remember, I have never heard of Morgan suffering any losses. His eyes are as if he can see the future. No matter whether the economy is booming or the economy is depressed, he can always find an advantageous place.
, it’s really satisfying to suffer a loss this time.”
"It can't be said that we have suffered a loss. We can only say that we have not achieved our goal. The steel industry should now be a situation where two giants stand side by side. It is still early to say who can be the final winner." Lawrence disagreed with the two friends.
Point of view, he said slowly, "Only those two companies, Standard Oil and United Company, Standard Oil is the super trust of the industry, and the model of United Company is not like this, but a highly concentrated giant company, to be honest
, Concern has never been able to reach the level of the Sheffield family. In some places, it is comparable to a trust."
The development paths of large companies are also different in their models. A trust is a company, a legal person, and its organizational form is to reach a common strategy through the internal administrative channels of the company. Because it is an internal administrative channel, it does not involve the relationship between companies.
negotiation, so trust is the most stable among the four forms of monopoly.
The cartel controls the output and price of the product through certain agreements or regulations. If there are differences in decision-making among the cartel members, the cartel usually cannot survive. The Carnegie Steel Company has long been the ultimate enemy of the United States Steel Cartel and is also the cartel.
As an important member of the cartel, the Steel King did anti-cartel work and caused great trouble to other steel companies.
The trust model originated from the Rockefeller family, but the Concern model originated from the German Empire. Therefore, most enterprises in the United States are based on the trust model.
"A super trust, a giant corporation!" Lowell thought for a moment and said, "Such a combination is not incomprehensible if Morgan loses, but it would be even more difficult for us to do it. If this continues, the two companies will reach a certain level.
Cooperation in this sense is simply terrible.”
"Actually, there are shortcomings, haven't you noticed? The average Concern at least has a passable banking system, like the Sheffield family, which relies entirely on administrative orders to do things. Even the German Empire, the birthplace of Concern, has almost none." Lawrence
He stretched out his hand and knocked on the table and said, "The Sheffield family's weak Union Bank in the west simply cannot afford this kind of responsibility."
