Conns Vanderbilt is a very easy-to-handle good man. As the third generation of the family, he is neither a prodigal son nor an extremely skilled capitalist. As the only one in the Vanderbilt family He is at best qualified.
Song Biao felt that he could persuade this person to stay in the three northeastern provinces to invest in the industry. For this reason, accompanied by Miss Shu Xuan and Li Enfu, he took time to accompany Vanderbilt and his wife to Liaoyang and Chenyang New District to inspect the investment environment, and he was also on the way. I visited many ancestral tombs of the Qing Dynasty royal family and visited some temples with a long history...
Whenever he has time, Song Biao will tell Mr. Conns Vanderbilt about China's history, culture, and repetitive and clever emphasis on the three northeastern provinces and the future of China's economic recovery.
After returning to the Dongling Army headquarters, Song Biao invited Mr. Conns Vanderbilt, who had served as a captain in the US Army, to visit the Northeast New Army. On this day, he accompanied the couple with Miss Shu Xuan. Visit to the Zhaoling Mausoleum of Qing Dynasty.
Zhaoling is Huang Taiji's tomb. There have been troops guarding for a long time. During the Russo-Japanese War, the soldiers of these Eight Banners Battalions had long been missing. Song Biao led his troops back to Fengtian and considered dealing with the Qing government later. , a number of disabled soldiers were arranged to serve as guard camps in several Qing Dynasty ancestral tombs.
Therefore, it was unimpeded that Song Biao brought people here to visit, and Jin Liang, the chief officer of the Fengtian Banner Affairs Office who was actually in charge of these affairs, was a smart person and would never be able to get along with Song Biao in these matters. I heard that Song Biao wanted to accompany foreign friends to "consecrate" Zhaoling, and Jinliang specially placed everything a few days in advance, almost receiving Song Biao and Conns Vanderbilt according to the standard of receiving royal families.
After passing Longen Gate, enter Longen Hall. Looking into the distance from the pavilion of the square city, anyone will suddenly feel extremely happy.
There is an exquisite cypress table in the eaves corridor of the building and pavilions, with chairs on both sides. Song Biao and Shu Xuan invited Conns Vanderbilt and his wife to sit down and rest here.
A pot of green tea and sitting in this beautiful place to look around, Song Biao's heart seemed to have become particularly quiet. If he hadn't been to visit Conns Vanderbilt and his wife, he felt that he might have been there. Miss such a good scenery.
After thinking deeply in my heart for a moment, Song Biao said to Conns with a point of view: "The three eastern provinces are a good place. In this ancient and old country, this is one of the few places that can be developed rapidly again and again. .”
Conns Vanderbilt nodded slightly and praised: "Indeed, I feel more and more that the three northeastern provinces under your jurisdiction will have very good development prospects. My only question now is that your royal family and imperial government are against How long will your term be, and whether the new governor who will be in succession will continue to maintain your current policy.”
Song Biao thought briefly and replied: "I think my term will be very long. Maybe it's thirty years. Even fifty years... Mr. Conns, if you don't mind, we can Go to the South Tower to talk, there will be a better view there.”
Conns Vanderbilt had just sat down and was about to rest for a while. After all, he had climbed the mountain road for a whole half of a day. But he could only continue to get up and go south with Song Biao. Zhang Kangren, who was the translator, accompanied them again. .
After this period of preparation, Song Biao rarely invested so much energy in others. In the past two days, he was ready to find a suitable opportunity to discuss some more in-depth and realistic topics with Conns Vanderbilt. Although he trusted him
Shu Xuan, but he also believes that Shu Xuan should not have come into contact with these things too early.
Taking a step back, even if he really decided to get engaged with the Shu family and marry the romantic and leisurely Miss Shu Xuan as his wife, he didn't want this weak little woman to share his political pressure.
Considering that Shu Xuan was more interested in poetry and lyrical prose, and was also interested in engaging in women's normal education, Song Biao had already considered letting Shu Xuan leave the army and do what she liked, rather than having to participate in the liberation revolution.
Especially in view of various incidents between Mao and Jiang and his wife, Song Biao actually hoped that his wife would not engage in political-related work.
Walking down the city walls paved with countless blue bricks, looking at this side of the mausoleum on the south side of Longen Hall, Song Biao and Conns Vanderbilt avoided their wives and lovers, and sat alone again.
Negotiate more serious topics.
After Conns Vanderbilt sat down, Song Biao said: "Mr. Conns, as far as I know, your family business is actually not as brilliant as your grandfather's time," he said.
Of course, this is mainly due to the large influx of capital from Britain and Europe, and the rapid rise of new industries such as oil, which are stunning international capitals in the US financial markets. In particular, Mr. JP Morgan, the American Railway he created
The company and Morgan Bank are really difficult enemies to deal with, and the Atlantic United Shipping Company he is actively building may have a huge impact on your family shipping company.”
Conns Vanderbilt shrugged helplessly: "That Jewish gentleman is simply love and hate. Sometimes, I even think that my father might have lived a few more years without his aggressive oppression. Of course,
I'm not saying there is a grudge between them, but the facts are also obvious. The low fares of the US Railway Company have put a huge operating pressure on our rail companies in the North and Chicago. In the first few years of the US Railway Company's establishment, we have been doing so.
They are all in the middle of losses, but fortunately they have paid some price for it.”
Song Biao, who knew that the other party was smoking, opened the cigar box with great interest and gave it to Conns Vanderbilt, and lit one himself. He was very leisurely enjoying the cigar from Cuba when the lady was away.
.
After a few chewing cigars, Song Biaocai and Conns Vanderbilt suggested: "Although I am a soldier, it is obvious that I am also a capitalist, even if I am the one who suddenly broke out.
One type, but I also have some experience in the growth of wealth. All the most successful businessmen in history have a typical situation, that is, they have captured the emerging technologies and industries in the history of human progress.
Or seize the development of some emerging areas, such as the miracles that your father created in the era when ships and railways just started, such as the miracles that Mr. Rockefeller was in the new era when the oil industry was rising. As for Mr. JP Morgan,
I thought this gentleman really seized the great moment of America's rapid rise and the continuous development of the trust, securities, electrical and steel industries. In general, the easiest way to make wealth grow rapidly is to invest in the latest
and the fastest growing areas.”
Conns Vanderbilt agreed without denying it: "You are right. Unfortunately, the oil industry is in an extremely stable monopoly operation, and the monopoly of electrical and trust securities is not much worse than oil, even on ships
In the railway industry, the financial oligarchs led by JP Morgan are also trying to establish new monopoly institutions. In all emerging industries, we hardly know where to invest in!"
Song Biao said: "Then you settle for the second best. The best business is always the financial industry, which will never be outdated unless the world does not need currency. If I were you, I would not hesitate.
Put all your money into the three northeastern provinces and build a new corporate empire here. Let's put it this way. If you can set up a bank company with assets of more than 40 million US dollars in the three northeastern provinces, I will seriously consider giving you currency
Right to issue.”
Conns Vanderbilt was surprised, but sighed: "Forty million dollars is not a small amount, it is almost the total amount of all my property. When I was very young, my father warned me.
After me, there is only one basic principle of business, that is the rate of return. For every one hundred dollars invested, we need a return of five dollars per year. This is our minimum limit, and worse than this is just a bad business. If I
It is simply the worst thing to invest all your property in the three northeastern provinces.
Song Biao said: "I don't think so. As I said, there are three best ways to invest. The first is the most stable, that is, always concentrate capital in the financial industry. No matter where the world's hot spots are, the latest
Wherever the prosperous industries are, the financial industry can grow rapidly; the second is to always invest in the latest emerging industries; the third is to invest in the latest emerging regions. When wealth reaches a certain level, you always want to get high amounts.
Returns are difficult, and investing in a region will enable a region to develop rapidly, and rewards will be gained in all aspects from real estate to shipping, finance to industry, so as to create a new peak of return and expand assets to a new scale.
.”
Conns Vanderbilt sighed: "You said it well, but after all, it's such a huge amount, and I need to think carefully. For now, my biggest concern is your tenure, and
Can your continuator continue to maintain such preferential policies?”
Song Biao said: "I can assure you that my term of office will be very long, because almost all my property is in the three northeastern provinces, and I have never been worried about this. In the three northeastern provinces, we can cooperate. If the development is done,
It's better, I may have extra capital to transfer to the United States to invest, which also requires your cooperation. What a great kind of cooperation."
Conns Vanderbilt agreed: "Yes, we can really engage in more cooperation, which is very important and beneficial to both of us, but there is really too much registered capital of $40 million.
Even if I join other investors in the United States, the limit I can only give is 30 million US dollars, which requires me to sell part of the industry to raise capital."
Song Biao immediately proposed: "If JP Morgan wants to create the largest railway company in the United States, then sell the railway company shares to him in exchange for capital, and transfer enough manpower and capital to the three eastern provinces to invest in the east.
Railway construction in the three provinces. If this is the case, as long as your bank has 30 million US dollars in capital, I can also give the right to issue money. In the United States, the railway industry is no longer brilliant, but in the three northeastern provinces, this is indeed a high-tech
The return on investment and indirect influence of emerging industries are incomparable. In the three northeastern provinces, you can invest in electrical, machinery, machine tools, metallurgy, mining, ships, shipping, start banks, invest in insurance, and enter securities.
Trust industry. The foreign capital that truly invests in the three northeastern provinces belongs to small businesses. Apart from my Far East company, you have almost no competitors here, and we can cooperate, and we can jointly operate various industries on a large scale.
China and the United States develop simultaneously, take advantage of the US's technological advantages to develop their businesses in Asia quickly, and then use the profits from operations in Asia to continue to develop new technologies."
Conns Vanderbilt was finally convinced by Song Biao. He no longer had any hesitation and agreed: "Your idea is really great, so let's do it like this. This is a population of 400 million.
The huge market, even if it is only 1
4 people use our products and we will also become the largest company in the world. So, why not do that."
Song Biao said: "Very good, so let's do this!"
After that, he shook hands with Conns Vanderbilt.
The moment they shook hands, the most amazing Song & Vanderbilt alliance in the history of world business was officially concluded here.
For Song Biao, the Vanderbilt family is the most suitable partner.
Together they will seize the era's cube.
In fact, Conns Vanderbilt had never considered it at this moment. At this moment, the Vanderbilt family would establish a special cooperation with a Song royal family for a hundred years and the closest relationship between the trans-Pacific.
This will be the worst and greatest moment in human history.
When Conns Vanderbilt still had too much hesitation, he finally decided to give it a try, tie capital and Governor Song's Far East Consortium to form an alliance to travel on the Pacific Ocean, this was his mediocre life
The wisest choice made in the year was that it made him greater than his grandfather.
Just in Longen Temple, Song Biao and Conns Vanderbilt discussed the possible cooperation between the two, and basically based on Song Biao's vision, he built a very large number for them.
a cooperation plan.
According to Song Biao's plan, the Vanderbilt family will be sold in the US railway industry in exchange for more financing to acquire a bank company with more equity holdings, which should be invested in a trust.
In the hands of the banking company, this trust investment banking company also controls multiple industries.
On this basis, the Far East Consortium's subsidiary companies and the Vanderbilt family merged, with the main merger business scope including automobiles, electrical, shipping, metallurgy, chemicals, mining, machinery, and ships, forming a ring.
The Pacific's international consortium focuses on the three eastern provinces of China and the California region of the United States.
