The Frill family can be said to be unknown in the United States now, but as early as the beginning of the last century, in the era of the great development of the western United States, this family, like Morgan and Rockefeller, was a well-known family at that time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, later, because the family leader is the decision-maker, he gradually withdrew from the top family in the United States, but even so, their family is still active in the upper class of the United States by relying on the accumulation of the early years, and now in the upper class of the United States, their family is also one of the best invisible families.

And in front of this Chris. Frill is still the senior consultant of the Frill and the Sackler Art Museum, if he has nothing to do with the Frill family, he doesn't believe that Jin Muchen was killed.

"Oh? So, this Chris, you and that famous Charles. Forrell ... ”

However, although there was a guess in his heart, it was best to get some verification from his mouth to ensure that there would be no mistakes, so Jin Muchen asked tentatively.

And at this time, that Chris, when he heard Jin Muchen mention the name Charles, his face couldn't help but flash with pride: "That's right, that Charles." Man. Forerell is the ancestor and founder of our family. ”

This Chris. After Forrell said this, he couldn't help but raise his neck proudly, he was indeed entitled to be proud, because of that Charles. Forrell, back then, was indeed a legendary figure who could be contemporaneous with Carnegie, Morgan Sr., and Rockefeller Sr., if it weren't for this guy in the later period, who retired bravely and washed his hands early, this guy might have become a legend in the eyes of many Americans now.

And what he did is indeed very worthy of his grandchildren's pride, for example, he donated his own collection for many years, mainly the looted Chinese art, all of which have now become an important part of the Asian Pavilion of the American National Museum, and these alone are enough to deserve this guy's name in history.

It's no wonder that this Chris is so arrogant, he feels that he has a very bullish grandfather, which feels the same as a certain second generation of officials in China, shouting loudly, my dad is xx.

No matter who others are, they have to be impressed by him when they hear it.

Jin Muchen also deliberately made a very surprised look, but in his heart he despised this guy to the extreme, this guy's ancestor, the founder of the Furel family, is indeed a legend in the eyes of Americans, but in Jin Muchen's opinion, that guy is a damn thief of cultural relics.

If it weren't for the fact that he had taken the lead, led people to wave checks, and encouraged people to go to China to steal antiquities, how could the Japanese have thought of such a ghost idea and make a fortune by robbing Chinese cultural relics and selling them to the United States?

So that Charles. Forrell can be called special, the damn ancestor of foreign devils who specialize in stealing Chinese cultural relics, Americans are proud of him, but Jin Muchen, who is a Chinese, can't wait to pick up this guy's ancestral grave.

This Charles. Born in 1854, he was the fourth of eight children, his mother died when he was 14 years old, and his father was bedridden.

At that time, he was in his second year of junior high school, and he had to drop out of school to look for work, Sanyo's father and younger siblings, at first he was a clerk in a grocery store in Kingston, New York, working all year round, very hard, but not making much money.

However, he was born at a good time, which happened to be the golden age of the great development of the United States, and the US government had just swallowed the central and western parts of North America through various means, and the land area of the country had greatly increased.

In order to stabilize the land that had just been snatched from the Mexicans and Indians, the U.S. government on the one hand encouraged the people to move westward, and on the other hand, it began to plan to build railways on a large scale, so that the railways could be used as a weapon to stabilize the country's land area.

And this guy was also lucky, because upstairs of the grocery store where he worked at that time was Frank, the director of the local railroad department in New York. Hawk's office, at that time, this Frill often ran errands for this Frank, delivered some takeaways or something, five years later, Frank found that this kid was indeed a good dogleg, so he recruited him into his office and became his own bookkeeper, and this Frank became Frank's first nobleman.

In 1876, at the age of 22, Frank had become Frank's right-hand man, and that year Frank was promoted, and he was transferred to Indiana to build a new railroad line, and Frill followed him to Indiana, but the project was not completed due to various local resistance.

But this time they were favored by the investors of the railway, so the investor of the railway, the predator, invited them to Detroit to develop, after a few years of development in Detroit, the Frank and Forrell have become golden partners, and at this time they found that it is not so easy to build a railway, if the master set up a company specializing in providing carriages and locomotives for the railway, it would be good.

Because at that time, there was no company specializing in the production of such locomotives and carriages in the United States, and almost all the locomotives and carriages running on the American railroads were purchased from European countries in the Old World, British goods, French goods, and German goods, which made these two people see their superiors.

So in 1885, the two of them established the Peninsula Depot in Detroit, at first because of the lack of technology, they could only produce low-tech train and freight cars, but even so, because it happened to coincide with the golden age of American railroad construction, the two still made a lot of money, and really became a rich man, becoming the upper class of the United States.

Seven years later, they forcibly annexed another very strong train locomotive manufacturing company in Detroit, the Michigan Depot, and after this acquisition, they finally became the absolute top tycoon of the American locomotive manufacturing industry, and also became a trust in this field.

You know, before they acquired the Michigan Depot, their Peninsula Depot could only produce low-tech train wagon cars, but this Michigan Depot is different, it's a very high-tech company.

The company was the only company in the United States that could produce locomotives and passenger cars at that time, and the founder of this company was a group of engineers from Germany, England, and the Czech Republic in Europe, who brought technology from Europe, and later recruited many professional technicians in the automotive industry in Detroit, which built this car factory.

Because of its technological advantages, the business of this car factory was originally good, and there was no need to worry about no orders at all, and the cash road was not a problem.

After all, this is a company founded by new immigrants, and it is a kind of enterprise with no roots in the United States, and the profits are scary, so everyone is salivating about this company, and Carnegie, Morgan and the Mellon consortium in Pittsburgh were very interested in this company at that time.

But later, they didn't succeed, because the people at the Michigan depot resisted fiercely at that time, and the consortium used all kinds of means, white and black, and they couldn't make these guys succumb.

So in the end, he could only choose to back down under the threat of Broken Teeth, and at that time Forrell and his partner Frank. Hao Ke chose a roundabout tactic, they knew that if they should compete with those big conglomerates, they could only be overwhelmed, and maybe they would be swallowed by those predators before they entered the market.

So they chose another tactic, which was to take advantage of the disunity within the Michigan depot, which was founded by a few engineers from Europe, even though they were now Americans.

But after all, they all came out of Europe, and as early as in Europe, they had the traditional habit of tearing B, and when they arrived in the United States, because of the new environment and external survival pressure, they were able to unite in a short time.

However, when the external pressure has subsided, especially when the company's profitability is getting better and better, the contradictions between them can not be concealed more and more, especially the intrigue between them is even more powerful.

Forrell took advantage of the opportunity, constantly sowing discord and contradictions among those shareholders, and at the same time he also released the news that they had begun to buy this manufacturing technology from Europe, putting pressure on rivals, and finally succeeded in eating the company alive.

Integrating the Michigan depot into the name of their Peninsula depot, they completed a classic snake swallowing elephant acquisition case, and their methods were also very neat this time, on the one hand, they sowed discord, on the other hand, they bought and framed, and at the same time used a lot of underworld forces, which brought down this car factory, and the main planner of this acquisition was this Charles. Furiel.

This acquisition could have caused a very big sensation at the time, and even became the object of imitation by many American tycoons of the same era, such as Rockefeller, Carnegie, and railway tycoon Vanderbilt, when competing with competitors in the same industry, they all used the bridge used by Friel, and they all succeeded in the end.

And this Charles. Because of this acquisition, Frill later became a rising star in the American business world, a business icon of the time, and the founder of the Foreer family. (To be continued.) )
