"John Davidson Rockefeller. Doug looked at the sign and read out Rockefeller's full name.

Rockefeller, who was standing at the door, smiled politely and looked at Doug.

"Come in and sit. Doug beckoned.

Waiting for Rockefeller to sit down, Doug asked, "How did you come up with the idea of building an oil refinery?"

Rockefeller faced the very young man and repeated what he had just said.

Doug nodded, "Very clear idea." But are you really sure that your inference will come true?"

"I'm sure. Rockefeller said confidently.

"What a confident young man. I can invest in Winnie, but the conditions of the investment, I think you will definitely find it harsh. Can you accept it?"

"Yes. ”

"Why is it acceptable?"

"Because you're the only one willing to invest in me. ”

"Haha. A good answer. Doug laughed.

He has now ignored his age and completely regarded John Rockefeller as a young man.

"Very well, then I'll invest in you. You can build an oil refinery with a total budget of not less than 300,000 U.S. bank bills and no more than 500,000 U.S. bank bills anywhere you want. Of course, Claydon Investment Bank will have a dedicated investment manager to follow up on this project. ”

"Can it only be U.S. bank bills, not dollars?" Rockefeller asked.

"U.S. dollars, of course not! I'm sure you'll be able to spend all of these bank notes. Doug said.

In a sense, U.S. bank bills are the U.S. dollar.

But in fact, for U.S. banks, which have the qualifications to issue bank bills, the gold content of U.S. bank bills is not as good as that of the golden dollar.

Claydon Investment Bank has been in the investment business for a quarter now.

After a quarter of data aggregation, Bank of America got the answer that every 10,000 U.S. bank bills invested was equivalent to spending $1,392.

Based on this data, it means that Claydon Investment Bank, as long as it has the authorization of $100,000, can release about 800,000 U.S. bank bills for investment.

Investors who accept investments in U.S. bank bills are also opening up frontiers for U.S. bank bills when they pay for U.S. bank bills.

There are not many banks in the United States that have the right to issue bank bills, but there are definitely a lot of them.

Different bank bills are accepted in different ranges.

It's not just a matter of the size of the issuing bank, it's also about how many people use the bank notes they issue.

The more people who agree with this bank note, the wider the scope of use of this bank note.

The wider the scope of application of this bank note, the more people will agree with this bank note.

Claydon Investment Bank, on the one hand, is like a gold-swallowing monster, turning the dollars of Claydon Printing and Dyeing Factory, Tom & Doug Chemical Company, and Winchester Arms Company into bank bills and distributing them.

However, on the other hand, it has also prompted all walks of life to accept bank bills from Bank of America to a large extent.

Although in the early stages of implementation, there may be various problems.

However, once the first step is taken, the next steps become simpler and simpler.

The first step has now been rolled out in the form of an investment.

Those who accepted the investment from Claydon Investment Bank became obligatory salesmen of U.S. bank bills.

For Rockefeller, who was born in a business school and has a bright mind, Claydon already knew the cause and effect of the approach of Claydon Investment Bank.

However, Rockefeller is definitely not the only one who wants to understand.

Claydon Investment Bank also did it very simply, without the slightest intention of concealing it.

That's the kind of bank we're going to do.

If you're not happy with what we're doing, don't come to us for investment.

This kind of openness makes it impossible for others to say anything.

And those investors, even if they know this, can only act according to the line laid down by Claydon Investment Bank.

"Williams, you're going to hand over everything you have right now. Assist this Mr. Rockefeller in getting the refinery up and running. ”

Williams, who had just been called in a daze, didn't ask why he was doing it at all, and he replied, "Okay." ”

Immediately after, he went out to hand over the work in his hands as quickly as possible.

Williams has changed a lot of work since he first started working for Doug.

He is now very receptive to his new job.

With a very fast speed, you can adapt to a new job.

Doug sent him to assist Rockefeller in building the refinery, nominally to help, but in reality he hoped that Williams would be in control of all the details of the refinery.

Wait for the completion of the construction of the Rockefeller refinery, and set about building the Claydon Group's own refinery.

As for why Doug didn't work with Rockefeller like he did with Pemberton.

It's because Rockefeller was too ambitious.

Pemberton was able to build the factory with his partners, promote the business together, and eventually achieve this business to a very large scale.

Rockefeller, on the other hand, would choose to take a factory completely into his own hands.

own industry, not allowed to be touched by others.

It's like Clark, although he is Rockefeller's first partner, but it won't be long before he becomes an employee of Rockefeller, and then disappears from Rockefeller's field of vision.

Rockefeller did this, not solipsistically.

However, unlike him, it is difficult to become the richest man in the United States.

Even Doug himself, when faced with these choices, will not hesitate to throw away the partner.

In fact, the owner of the current Claydon Investment Bank Investments, although nominally a partner of Claydon Investment Bank.

But, no matter what the point of view. None of this is an equal partnership.

The initiative is more in Doug's hands than in the hands of those invested.

Once they have the mind to go it alone, they will definitely be kicked out by Claydon Investment Bank.

Of course, even Claydon Investment Bank's star project, Pemberton's Beverage Factory, has yet to make a profit on a large scale.

It's a little too early to talk about that.

But even all investment projects, including beverage plants, are less important than Rockefeller's refineries.

Vanderbilt was able to become the richest man in the United States with the railroad in his hands.

Carnegie could replace it with the steel industry.

Morgan drives the financial industry and has tasted the richest man.

However, in the face of the terrible financial industry, Rockefeller was able to use the oil industry to counterattack. This is enough to prove the great potential of the oil industry.

In this regard, Doug must not take it lightly.

However, if he did it himself, he would attract too many eyes.

He is now the president of the Bank of America, the president of Claydon Investment Bank, and the book he created, Monopoly, has been sold all over the world.

He was already a very famous person.

Being famous, of course, has many benefits that can be seen and touched, and many benefits that cannot be seen or touched.

But, at the same time, there is a lot of trouble.

A little minion, what to do, no one cares.

It's like Doug when he was a little tramp.

But if a celebrity, want to do something. Even if he just expressed an intention, there will be countless people analyzing it.

Then, based on their analysis, actions are made accordingly.

If, Doug personally ends up at this moment and goes to the refinery.

I believe that many people will flock to the refinery.

Even if they don't achieve much in the end, they disrupt the relationship between oil mines and refineries, and destroy the layout of the entire industry.

When the time comes, it will take a lot of effort to solve them.

No matter how strong Rockefeller is in another time and space, he is still just a young man in need of investment in this time and space.

Under the guise of his power, and under the guise of his name. Let Williams follow him and record all the difficulties and solutions he encountered.

When the time comes, let Williams build one refinery after another on his own.

In this way, by the time others pay attention to the refining industry, it will be too late.

Because, Doug's layout is complete.

As for Doug Claydon, he himself should not go to the front line, but sit at the headquarters of Bank of America and command remotely.

Of course, at this moment, Rockefeller is also thinking about how to get rid of Doug's control after the refinery is built.

Because, as soon as he had spoken a few words to Doug, he had already discovered that Doug was not a good collaborator.

As for what makes a good collaborator?

That is, it can provide money when there is a shortage of money, provide strength when there is a lack of strength, and discard it when it can be discarded.

However, Claydon Investment Bank, as well as Doug, are clearly not such fools.

It should be said that there are no such fools in the banking industry.

People in the banking industry will only kill themselves because of their cleverness, and they will not kill themselves because of their stupidity.

Even if a fool enters the banking industry, it won't take long for him to become smarter.

Why is this the case?

The reason is simple.

It's because of the environment.

In an environment full of intrigue, stupid people will choose to kill their past selves to grow.

Only in this way can he survive in this environment.

Of course, maybe in the "New Haven Times" serialization, there will be a stupid female staff member, because of her stupidity, won the appreciation of the male president, and completed one list after another by mistake, and finally stepped on the peak of life.

Such a story will surely be very popular.

However, the basis of its popularity is because of its unreality.

If a person is really like this in the workplace, she is more likely to just leave the workplace gloomily.

Or, in exchange for some kind of continued existence in the workplace.

Of course, this kind of exchange will be inappropriate for children.

It would be an exchange for more than one person.

Perhaps, it will become an article similar to that of a female teacher surnamed Bai.

In such an article, every rise is actually a whiplash for the protagonist.

It's all a fall of the protagonist's personality.

However, if it is real, which of these two scenarios is more likely to happen. In fact, the latter is more likely to happen.

Rockefeller left with Williams, and a lot of equipment at the refinery was not actually produced locally.

It's not that the process doesn't meet the requirements, but that there was no such demand before.

Using these equipment in small quantities, it is better to import and buy equipment such as the United Kingdom and Germany than to find the corresponding factory to develop the equipment that is not so easy to use.

Of course, neither Germany nor Britain has a large number of oil fields.

And the German colonies had little oil.

But even so, Germany, the world's largest technology power, is still able to produce far more reliable equipment than the American factory.

It's not because of anything else, it's just because of the character of the people.

The United States as a colonial power.

Although it originated from the Protestants on the May issue, more and more immigrants have injected fresh vitality into the area, but also injected negative things such as impetuousness.

Therefore, even when the United States can produce the most advanced products in the world.

The failure rate, as well as some small details, is still not as good as the German product.

These small problems, which can be solved by tinkering in the later stage, do not have much impact.

But there's just no way to do it once, and there won't be problems.

There's not much Doug Claydon can do about such a situation.

It's like a very simple board game like "Monopoly", the handmade version, the chance of error is still about one percent.

For every 100 handmade copies of Monopoly, there will almost always be a problematic one.

The women are already serious, but even so, the problem is still unavoidable.

Of course, their problems are just one thing.

What's worse is that the "Monopoly" produced by the machine forgot to adjust the timing after replacing the parts, so that thousands of copies of "Monopoly" were scrapped.

Even if there is a very rigorous inspection process in place.

After each maintenance, it must be checked no less than three times before the machine can be started to continue production.

But this is the kind of check, and it will still remove the problem.

Of course, the loss of raw materials is not significant.

However, if the delivery date is delayed, it is serious.

And the people who made these mistakes were not those hairy boys.

They are all very experienced workers.

Nor is it possible to punish these workers too harshly.

Doug sometimes wonders if it would be better to snatch a group of Germans from places like Germany to produce them.

After all, nominally he is also a German.

Of course, he doesn't know if this setting is true or not.

After all, his name was only acquired by himself.
