Chapter XXIV

With the end of World War I, the Huntelaar consortium had no better time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Even if the Huntelaar consortium intends to rein in the back, the situation of eating alone in the front is really amazing, which has caused serious dissatisfaction among the major consortia in the United States. Especially when everyone summed up after the war and found that Huntelaar made almost more money than several large conglomerates combined, an undercurrent surged secretly.

Naturally, John was well aware of this.

Therefore, John immediately threw out the news of the split, reorganization or sale of the consortium, and fully supported the "home" president to come to power, in order to resist these malice as much as possible. With the current strength and influence of the Huntelaar consortium, even if the other consortiums are united, it is impossible to do anything to John, but it is bound to greatly affect their development, so ......

It is naturally necessary to make a few powerful allies.

Morgan Jr. and Rockefeller Jr. are John's carefully selected allies, especially the former who is most valued by him. The influence of the Morgan consortium is no worse than that of the Huntelaar consortium, and it has a deep heritage in various industries, especially transportation, steel and other industries. As for the Rockefeller consortium, the other party's focus on the development of the oil industry does not conflict with John's future development plan......

"Oh?"

After listening to John's words, little Morgan and little Rockefeller were immediately interested.

To be chosen as the heir by the two old giants, of course, they will not be mediocre, and they quickly understood what John meant. Little Morgan was secretly happy in his heart, because he knew very well that in the current situation, if John wanted to form an alliance with him, he would inevitably pay a considerable price - such as those industries and technologies that the old Morgan had been coveting for a long time, and the Morgan consortium could definitely intervene!

Although the war has passed, these companies of the Huntelaar consortium are still the best assets!

For example, chemicals, agricultural machinery, automobiles, etc., the Huntelaar consortium still has the most advanced technology in the world, and the scale of these markets is still huge. The Morgan consortium has long wanted to enter it, but due to the helplessness of technology and patents, and the fear of the counterattack of the Huntelaar consortium, they have not dared to make a big splash, but for now, ......

As little Morgan's eyes flickered frequently, little Rockefeller also secretly thought.

Unlike the Morgan consortium, the Rockefeller consortium and the Huntelaar consortium have not had too many conflicts for a long time, even if because of the richest man's investment, the old Rockefeller once had a very bad impression of John, and after all, it did not reach the level of confrontation with Carnegie back then. Of course, this is also because the giants are getting old and the anger is not so big. Therefore, in the eyes of Rockefeller at school, it is a good thing to unite with Huntelaar who is now at the peak, but Rockefeller Jr. also needs to see how many benefits he can fall......

……

"Hehe, they all want benefits!"

After sending off the two little giants, John smiled, a strange expression on his face.

Of course, he can understand the thoughts of these two people, after all, the world of capital has always been ruthless, although he brought them to China, but China is still too poor and backward after all, and this little benefit is obviously not enough for the two most powerful American consortia to stand by his side. Judging from the performance of Morgan Jr. and Rockefeller Jr. just now, the two, like their parents, will never make a clear statement without seeing substantial interests.

Fortunately, for John, he was naturally prepared.

The Morgan consortium is actually very good at discarding, and they have been longing for several technologies over the years, such as automobiles, such as radios, and ammonia. The Huntelaar consortium itself has the idea of transferring or licensing these technologies, and selling them to others is also selling, and selling them to the wealthy Morgan consortium can make more money, so why not?

As for the Rockefeller consortium, John has coveted it for a long time.

That's right, it's coveting, just as other consortia have always coveted the major companies or technologies under the Huntelaar consortium, and John has long coveted the oil companies of the Rockefeller consortium. So immediately after the war ended, John took out a large sum of money and began to buy shares in the future major oil companies. With the end of the war and the deepening of the economic crisis of 1920, the price of their stock fell considerably, and it was time to start.

The oil industry, John is definitely not going to miss it.

In fact, no one knows better than John the fact that in the future, oil will replace steel and coal as the lifeblood of the world's industry! Especially when the automotive industry has risen completely, this is already an irreversible trend. So the oil company he got from the old Rockefeller back then, John has always been carefully managed, and now it is developing quite well.

Of course, compared to the oil king's company, that is far inferior.

Unlike automobiles, airplanes, ammonia, and other industries, John knew too little about the petroleum industry. Moreover, this industry has little to do with technology, invention, etc., depending on who controls more oil fields and whose channels are smoother, so they simply cannot compete with the Rockefeller consortium. Fortunately, John never wanted to compete with the other party, and he won the Huntelaar Oil Company back then, just to lay a foreshadowing for future development......

Now, it's just in time!

So for the next week, John and the two small giants did not go out to investigate, but began to negotiate behind closed doors. Of course, it is impossible for them to talk about specific details, that is the business of the people below, but before talking about the details, it is definitely necessary to determine a tone.

Of the seven days, the negotiations between John and Morgan Jr. took up six days.

After some bargaining between the two, John exchanged the right to use the patented technology in automobiles, chemicals, and radios that the other party was interested in, in exchange for a huge amount of money and the conditions for the other party to help build 16 factories in China.

The investment in these factories alone is more than 15 million dollars!

Moreover, after these days of investigation, Morgan himself was also quite interested in investing in China, and soon determined plans to enter the fields of railways, steel, minerals and electricity, and the scale of investment exceeded 50 million US dollars. It can be said that the deal with Morgan Jr. not only got a strong ally and huge funds, but also allowed China to get a giant investor, which can be described as quite a good deal.

As for the deal with Rockefeller Jr., it was so simple that it only took one day.

From the moment the two sat down on the sofa, John handed each other a plan, the Huntelaar Oil Company will cooperate with the Rockefeller oil company to jointly develop several large oil fields in China -- the Huntelaar Oil Company has already completed the preliminary exploration, and has found a large amount of oil reserves, waiting for the funds and personnel to be in place.

Of course, these words alone are not enough to satisfy Rockefeller.

After all, China's current market is too small, and the demand for oil is not even as large as a state in the United States, so in order to let China's oil industry develop as soon as possible, John did not hesitate to throw out another big killer - the big oil fields in Texas......
