Many times we do things without a reason, just like when we were children, we never looked at the production date when we ate spicy noodles, and our parents never gave us a reason when we beat us.

This is a very helpless thing, but the reality is teaching us how to use helplessness. Therefore, Lin Fan can get Apple's letter of cooperation, which clearly stipulates that in the future, all Lin Fan's mortal products or products of Lin Fan's major shareholder company can appear in the Apple Store for free for life.

But the requirement is that Lin Fan must have a mobile phone manufacturing company with top 10 sales in China by 2010. This was not like a request for Lin Fan, and he was about to do it. Jobs hopes that Lin Fan will use his large-scale funds to make a series of acquisitions after tasting the sweetness of the mobile phone industry, and Apple is willing to compete with an Android giant, but it is unwilling to compete with many elite Android.

If a mobile phone manufacturer has a reputation, it must have its own shining technology, and if Apple wants to dominate the competition, it must put in more efforts, which is far from being easy to compete with only one manufacturer.

And asking Lin Fan to establish a mobile phone company is just a beginning, Jobs hopes to use Lin Fan's influence to enter the huge Chinese market, and there are many follow-up plans, this is just the beginning.

In short, who is better in this deal is a matter of opinion, but the first thing Jobs has to do is to register the Apple trademark in Huaxia first.

Returning to New York, Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh that the prosperity of the big city made him feel happier even more. We're lamenting the increase in housing prices in big cities, but we're actually improving the living experience. Housing prices actually add a series of government fees to us for more convenient transportation, shopping facilities, and fitness centers, which may be regarded as an equivalent exchange.

Lin Fan couldn't tolerate his sigh in life, and his long-awaited Klingbeck finally brought the news: August 28th, departure.

Well, when Lin Fan and Baker made peace on this day, he was speechless for a while. Although the BMW was very comfortable to sit in, Lin Fan wanted to talk about the secret base? Why did he keep walking around New York? It's been an hour, and he has just left Manhattan. But Baker just chatted with himself as if nothing happened.

Lin Fan couldn't tell how he was feeling now, there was expectation and fear, curiosity about this behemoth, and awe of this monster, and at the same time, there was a trace of joy in his heart, he seemed to have become a part of the upper rulers of this world.

Under this complicated emotion, the car slowly drove to Staten Island, and the two got on a helicopter to go. It wasn't until this moment that Lin Fan reacted: "Your headquarters is here?"

"Lin, don't you know what it means to be a big hidden city, not to mention that Staten Island is three times the size of Manhattan and has less than a third of the population, so it's a good place. ”

Well, Lin Fan was impressed by the boldness of these people, if this news leaked out, I am afraid it would cause the world to be shocked.

The helicopter landed straight into the courtyard of a manor, and from a distance, I saw two people walking over, one was the familiar Da Mo, and the other was a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he looked like a very proud person.

"Welcome, Lin. ”

"It's a pleasure to join you. ”

Baker introduced on the side, "You must be no stranger to Mr. Da Mo, and this person next to him is Sturt Hill, the controller of the United Pacific Railroad, the largest railroad company in the United States, and the family also owns banking, finance, securities, insurance and many other industries. ”

"How dare I show off compared to Baker, a banker?"

"When did Hill become so humble?"

"Well, today is Mr. Lin's welcome ceremony, leave a good impression on him. As soon as Da Mo spoke, the two immediately shut up, the two families were born dependent on Morgan at the beginning, and until now the two families are faintly headed by Morgan.

Da Mo leaned on a gentleman's cane, motioned for Lin Fan to step forward, and at the same time slowly introduced, "Previously, the base of the Seven Great Families was on Jekyl Island, but after entering the new century, due to the investment of major families in the financial industry, New York has become our choice. We call our alliance the Elite Club, and there are only seven members whose membership is passed down from generation to generation, not transferred, but inherited. ”

Lin Fan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, Da Mo seemed to know that Lin Fan would be puzzled, and immediately began to explain: "I guess you have noticed that it is obviously a seven-person club, but why are there only three of us coming?"

"Could it be that this is a meeting of Morgan's camp?"

"It's worthy of our chosen agent, and it's really smart enough. Da Mo sat down in his chair and said with a smile, "I told you earlier that there can only be seven members of the club. So it's impossible for someone else to join, but if it's a good talent, we'll also pull it in, like you. ”

"You are the agent chosen by our Morgan camp, and Rockefeller naturally won't admit it, so they didn't come. Baker added.

"Agent?"

Da Mo didn't care at all, "Our three families have also supported some small families over the past hundred years, but you are the only one we have jointly identified, and you can completely replace the identity of the Morgan camp in Asia." ”

This is different from what Lin Fan thought, he thought it was an equal identity, but he didn't expect it to be just an errand runner. And it is very likely that he is not a second dog, but a third dog, and there is still Rothschild behind Morgan.

Lin Fan opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Sterhill spoke, "Lin, you don't have to be in a hurry to refuse. We don't treat our collaborators badly, so let's hear our terms first. ”

"Well, I'll hear you. ”

Da Mo pondered for a moment, "Since you are the only partner we have chosen in Asia, we will help you in every way. First of all, for Huaxia, you will draft two or three foreign companies, and we will secretly help you buy them, after all, there is nothing more exciting than the gimmick of a national hero.

Secondly, we will use a series of operations, such as presidential interviews, honor lists, etc., to greatly improve your standing in the United States.

Finally it's the beginning of our business, but it's not a hurry, what do you think of our conditions?"

Lin Fan didn't need to think about it to know that the next step was to use his prestige, first use his prestige in the United States to attract funds, the three major families took the opportunity to enter, and then used their prestige to obtain various conveniences in China, and then monopolized one industry after another. This is exactly the same as the history of Morgan's rise back then!

Sterhill spoke again, "We have given full consideration to the characteristics of your nation, and national pride is especially important to you. It just so happens that the Union Pacific Railroad Company under my name has a lot of connections with you Chinese, and I can sell you 10 percent of the shares and make you the nominal majority shareholder of this company, which is good enough, right?"

Lin Fan's heart suddenly twitched, and Hill's light and fluttering origin suddenly hooked up Lin Fan's memory, this railway, known as the seventh miracle since the Industrial Revolution, was built with the life of Chinese workers!

At that time, the Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, and a large number of Chinese workers came across the ocean, some died on the vast sea, but most of them died on the construction site, and the Chinese workers worked the most, but they were far from the status of white and even black workers, with no room and board, no insurance, and even the least wages. The bones of Chinese workers found on the railroad construction site in later generations were not counted in terms of tools, but in kilograms! There is a saying that has been widely circulated in the United States: There is a skeleton of a Chinese worker under every sleeper, and this is by no means a lie! But now it is just a fluttering sentence in Hill's mouth!

Hill was not worried at all that these words would anger Lin Fan, who was an upstart in the eyes of the three of them, no different from Bill, at most a capable nouveau riche. The three of them looked at Lin Fan firmly like the chief justice of the court, Lin Fan lowered his head, and no one noticed the anger flashing in his eyes.

Lin Fan is no longer angry, not to mention that he is still very sensible. He wanted to agree to the conditions of these people, and he swore that one day no one in the world would dare to laugh at the Chinese again!

"I promise to be your agent. Lin Fan raised his head and smiled brightly, but when the three of them smiled, Lin Fan said again, "But the conditions are not enough, I still need you to help me snipe a company." ”
