"Morgan wants to buy Carnegie Steel!"

As soon as the two of them sat down in the study, Carnegie immediately threw out a shocking news: "And I also intend to sell it for various reasons, and I am seriously considering it now." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Sure enough!"

Hearing this, John's heart pounded!

It's a little bit worse than the time in history, but it still hasn't escaped John's expectations. Morgan seems to have used the same tactics to convey his thoughts through Carnegie's close friends, and Carnegie was equally moved.

If any other person hears this, I'm afraid they will be scared to the core!

In this era, Rockefeller's Standard Oil, Carnegie's Carnegie Steel, and Morgan and his Morgan consortium are undoubtedly America's Big Three. Although the Huntelaar consortium has sprung up in recent years, the scale of the industry has continued to expand and develop, and it has caught up with the three giants in all aspects, but in terms of heritage and influence, I am afraid that it is still a lot worse. John also knew this, and he never considered competing with them at this time - William? As long as McKinley doesn't die, the current United States is the golden age of the Big Three!

But for others, the news is different.

The news that a prestigious financial giant wants to buy Carnegie Steel and completely annex another giant is definitely like a magnitude 10 earthquake for Americans!

Obviously, Carnegie thought so too, so when he saw John's calm face, he finally couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face: "What? You've heard that...... No, absolutely not! ”

"Hehe, you don't have to guess."

Shaking his head, John smiled faintly, "How could I have heard anything?" But I guess you might have the idea of retreating, otherwise you wouldn't have allowed us to increase our stake in the company in the next few years. And...... I know Morgan too well, how ambitious he is, and how much energy he really has, so I wasn't surprised to hear that. ”

After a moment of silence, Carnegie nodded slowly.

After reaching their level, many things are no longer secrets. Just as the battle between Carnegie and Rockefeller lasted for decades, the battle between the Morgan and Huntelaar families gradually surfaced in recent years. As an old giant and the king of Wall Street, Morgan's pursuit of profit has never ended, so for all the businesses under the Huntelaar family, the Morgan consortium is full of eagerness!

It's a pity that their opponents are not good stubble!

Needless to say, John, a traverser, has never had a precedent for failure since the very beginning of the Flying Pigeon Bicycle Company, building one company after another; And the old Huntelaar is an old fox, with his decades of accumulation in New York, he has never let Morgan take advantage of it! Of course, this is also related to the industry John entered, he has not been involved in traditional industries such as steel, oil and railways, whether it is pharmaceuticals or automobiles, or electricity and radio, they are all high-tech in this era, and there are few restrictions in manufacturing, transportation and other aspects, Morgan can only rely on himself even if he wants to intervene. If you want to use other off-the-market means, it depends on whether old Huntelaar agrees.

Therefore, in recent years, even if Morgan has tried its best to invest in pharmaceutical companies, automobile companies, etc., it has been squeezed out of breath by Huntelaar's industry, and the patent advantage is too obvious. And Morgan, who started with capital, really doesn't have any good ways in these fields.

So later, Morgan thought of investing in Tesla.

It's just that unlike John, who understands the future and understands the future, Morgan can only invest in Tesla, so when John and Tesla fell out because of the research on wireless power transmission technology, Morgan thought that he had seized the opportunity and invested several sums of money in Tesla in a row, and the number was quite large, trying to replicate John's success in investing and producing large outputs, and then he could use technology to reduce the proportion of the Huntelaar family's shares in the American power company, but unfortunately......

It was knowing these things well that Carnegie knew that John knew about Morgan as well as Morgan knew him.

Thinking of this, Carnegie's eyes when he looked at John suddenly became different. Whether he is a Rockefeller or Morgan, the three giants were born in the thirties of the 19th century, and the youngest is now in his sixties. But the kid in front of him who asked him to talk with an equal attitude is only in his thirties this year! But also self-made, John? Huntelaar's current estate is probably no worse than anyone else's, right?

As soon as he thought of this, Carnegie's idea of selling the company became more and more determined, and he once again confirmed that it was the right decision to invite this Mr. Huntelaar today, so he no longer hesitated, and simply said: "John, if I were to sell Carnegie Steel, would you be interested in taking over?" ”

"Pick-up? Carnegie Steel? ”

Hearing this, John's heart was stunned for a moment!

John had guessed a lot before he came, but he could never have guessed that Carnegie would make this suggestion: sell the company to the Huntelaar family!

Truth be told, John must have been moved.

Although Roosevelt will soon come to power, the blow to the Big Three will also start quickly, and it can be said that this will be the last golden age of the Big Three. But John also knew that if he really took Carnegie Steel, Roosevelt would not be able to make a move against him, and think about when the next ten years will be, right? The Americans will build the Great White Fleet, the golden age of automobiles will begin, the First World War will enter the preparatory period, and countries will begin to expand their armaments frantically......

Which industry will be more profitable than steel companies at this time?

So when Carnegie said he wanted to sell the steel company, John was really moved, and his heart was pounding. No matter how crazy Rockefeller and Morgan will be, buy mines, build steel mills, and snipe Carnegie at a low cost, but John knows that with the accumulation of Carnegie Steel for decades, of course, it is impossible to be defeated easily, not to mention that McKinley will die in a few months, and the famous antitrust President Roosevelt is about to come to power, as long as he is willing to push a little, who will have time to give himself eye medicine?

"Hoo ......"

Thinking of the chaos, John couldn't help but let out a long breath, and then desperately admonished himself: "John, calm down, you must be calm!" This is not a small business of tens or millions of dollars, but a big business of hundreds of millions of dollars, and you can't eat Carnegie Steel, you can't eat ......."

With the strength of the Huntelaar consortium, it will definitely not be able to eat Carnegie Steel.

No one knows this better than John, even if he knows the current strength of the Huntelaar consortium and knows that he can easily raise tens of millions of dollars in cash, but he still can't eat Carnegie Steel. You know, just this year, Carnegie will sell the steel company to Morgan, and the first offer is $480 million!

This is the first and last offer.

Without frowning, Morgan directly bought Carnegie Steel, and took out $480 million in real money, creating the richest man in the United States and creating an acquisition that shocked the world. John may be able to come up with 10 percent of that figure now, but it's absolutely impossible to come up with 20 percent, let alone complete the final acquisition!

Unless......

"No, John, don't forget, you have your own plans!"

There seemed to be a voice in the darkness that reminded him that the fire in John's chest was quickly extinguished as if someone had poured a basin of cold water. Yes, he has many plans of his own, such as the wireless broadcasting technology that Motorola has almost completed, such as the automobile production plan that he has begun to consider, and then the military plan, the shipbuilding plan, the flying plan, etc., all of which do not need to invest a huge amount of money, if all the money is withdrawn at this time......

Thinking of this, John didn't hesitate anymore, simply shook his head and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, Mr. Carnegie, I am very excited, and my heart is very excited, but ...... I can't afford it! ”

"Can't really afford it?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Carnegie said lightly: "If the person who takes over is you, I will give a very good price." ”

"No, no, I can't afford it anyway."

With a wry smile, John shook his head vigorously again and said: "If you really want to sell the company, I suggest you sell it to Morgan, now in the whole United States, even in the world, I am afraid that only he can afford to buy Carnegie Steel." And we will follow the previous agreement, and the Huntelaar family will advance and retreat with you! ”

Didn't the earlier investment in Carnegie Steel just wait for this day? And if Morgan controlled the steel company, John didn't want to have any more entanglements with the other party, and an American power company showed him and his grandfather the methods of this financial tycoon, and it was good to stay away.

"Okay."

After being silent for a long time, Carnegie nodded slowly and said, "In that case, I'll make an offer to Morgan." Of course, he only has one chance to accept the offer, do you have any suggestions? ”

As he said this, Carnegie's body suddenly straightened.

A supertycoon is a supertycoon, and even if he is now interested in his daughter and questioning himself, Carnegie is still the supertycoon. The tycoon's domineering is vividly displayed in this sentence. Historically, Carnegie has indeed only given Morgan one chance, a piece of paper with his own offer, either accept it or get out of the way!

It's just that Carnegie met an even more domineering Morgan!

So in the face of Carnegie's symbolic inquiry, John suppressed the tumbling of his heart and smiled in a calm tone as much as he could: "Sir, I don't have much advice on this, except for one thing, I hope that the figure will not be less than half a billion ......" (to be continued). )
