695 The Godfather

The so-called "crisis" literally means an opportunity in danger, such as an economic crisis, some people will go bankrupt in the economic crisis, and there are also people who can buy the bottom in the economic crisis.

Others may have seen nothing more than chaos and carnage in the Pennsylvania riots, but through Will, Li Mu was given the opportunity to get his hands on the Great Lakes mines, a dream that Carnegie had worked so hard for years but had not yet succeeded, and given Carnegie's position in the Great Lakes region, one can imagine how precious this opportunity was.

Li Mu will definitely not let go of this opportunity, but it will take some operations to successfully achieve the goal, and the most important thing is to find the right allies, otherwise even with Will's help, it will not be easy for Li Mu to get the mines of the Great Lakes.

In the nineteenth century in the United States, the guild system flourished, almost every industry had organizations such as the "Gunpowder Association", and the Great Lakes region had not only the Mining League, but also the Iron and Steel Federation.

Yes, although Li Mu's ancestral home is in the Far East, although Li Mu lives in New York, and the headquarters of the Horse Group is also in New York, Li Mu is still a Springfielder, who let Li Mu become a naturalized in Springfield.

But this is not bad, compared with the financial metropolis of New York, Springfield is the manufacturing center of the United States, which is more in line with Li Mu's identity, although the title "New Yorker" is also good, but it always sounds flashy and frivolous, far less than the title "Springfielder".

"If you just want to make a quick buck, you and I can do it, but if you want to be the talker, then you need to find more allies, Piper and Andrew are very good, the point is that they will definitely be interested." Will is very self-aware, which is remarkable, and some people still don't know themselves well throughout their lives.

"I'll go to them tomorrow, and they know for sure that this opportunity is rare." Li Mu agreed with Will's words, and Carnegie must be interested. P. Morgan is an angel investor, don't care about any business, as long as you can make money, J· P. Morgan was interested.

"Alright then, let's put this matter aside, let's talk about Lily now, I am going to inform all my relatives and friends, tell them the good news, and the happiness should be shared by all." Will can't wait to tell the world, Li Mu can understand Will's feelings, but he can't accept Will's way.

"Don't, it's just pregnant, the child hasn't been born yet, what Lily needs now is quiet, and it's not too late to wait for the child to be born." Li Mu doesn't want to make a big deal, but in fact, Li Mu also knows that there must be a person who should have sophistication, and with Li Mu's current status in the United States, the child will not be born quietly.

All big families have to face an "heir" problem, although Li Mu is still young, this problem does not seem so imminent, but in fact, having children and not having children gives people a completely different feeling, if it is an ordinary family, maybe no children are just broken incense, but for a large enterprise like Junma Group, no heir also means uncertainty in the future, and this uncertainty is what the employees and partners of Junma Group care about the most.

The partners are better, the employees are more special, the United States does not have a perfect social security system, workers have no provident fund, no medical insurance, in the face of potential risks in the future, they have nothing but their own savings, Li Mu at the beginning of the establishment of the horse weapons factory, promised that if the workers work in the horse weapons factory for more than 30 years, then the horse weapons factory will pay the workers a monthly pension after the workers retire, which is definitely a pioneering thing in this era, before Li Mu gave a promise, Even if a worker has served the company for 60 years, he will not receive even a penny of additional rewards when he leaves the company, and Li Mu's commitment has now been extended to all employees of the Junma Group, so the Junma Group has the highest employee loyalty in the United States and perhaps the world.

This promise sounds good, but it must be built on the basis of the continued existence of the ZAMA Group in the future, so that Li Mu can fulfill his promise, so that the "heir" is particularly important to the employees of the ZAMA Group.

"Ha, you do yours, I'll do mine, let's not interfere with each other." Will laughed and grabbed his hat and walked out, looking impatient.

Li Mu could only shake his head and smile bitterly, it is normal for Will to have such thoughts, Li Mu and Will are now two completely different social circles, and there is hardly much intersection, so it is a good idea to do their own things.

Back upstairs, Gloria didn't sleep, but somewhere to get a bunch of children's small clothes, small hats, just spread out the bed, and from time to time she picked up a set of silly music, which looked really stupid for three years.

"I asked Aunt Josie to buy it, does it look good?" Gloria picked up a set of small pink clothes and gestured on herself, and then came to her senses, and she couldn't help but smile and bend over.

Aunt Josie is Gloria's personal maid, this aunt is a black woman, about one meter eight tall, definitely weighs more than one hundred and eighteen, her waist is thicker than the medium-sized oak barrel in the underground wine cellar, standing there with the same figure as the door panel, almost as wide as two Gloria, Li Mu estimates that if you don't use weapons, Mason may not be able to beat Aunt Josie with her bare hands.

This--also because of the first snow, now the maids on Governor's Island are ugly one by one, and Gloria is still strictly guarded, and the maids are not allowed to approach Li Mu at all, and it is rare for Li Mu to see a maid all day long.

"It's good-looking, but it's not early, this is this year's style, and by the time the child is born, these styles may be outdated." Li Mu picked up one casually, and after looking at it for a long time, he found that it was a small glove for babies, Li Mu tried to make a gesture, and almost stuffed three fingers into it.

"Children can't see things, how can they pay attention to styles, and besides, these clothes have always been this style, and they have been like this since hundreds of years ago." Gloria sobered up a little and began to put away the little clothes on the bed one by one.

Li Mu also helped, helping Gloria put all her small clothes in a storage box with the logo of "Urban Beauty".

"What are you talking about with Dad? I just heard you laugh a lot. "Gloria cares about the topic of Li Mu and Will, before yesterday, these two men were the two people Gloria cared about the most, and now there is another one.

Of course, it could be two.

"The iron ore mines in the Great Lakes are all business, you don't have to worry." Li Mu doesn't want to talk about it, and not taking work home is Li Mu's motto.

"Are you going on a business trip again?" Gloria looked at Li Mu with anticipation in her eyes.

I don't know why, Li Mu's heart suddenly tightened, and then Li Mu smiled and said, "No, I won't be on a business trip all year this year." ”

The sky and the earth are big, and the children are the biggest, which Li Mu can tell clearly.

Although he did not travel, the work continued, and in the next few days, Li Mu contacted Andrew Carnegie and J· P. Morgan, inviting them to join them in the iron ore mines of the Great Lakes region.

Andrew Carnegie and J. P. Morgan did not disappoint Li Mu, especially Andrew Carnegie, just like Will who learned that Gloria was pregnant, after receiving Li Mu's telegram, Andrew Carnegie rushed back to New York from Pittsburgh overnight, showing unusual enthusiasm.

The difference is that Will galloped back to New York on a war horse, while Andrew Carnegie rode a special train, which is the right of the rich.

J· P. Morgan also gave Li Mu a lot of face, and immediately after getting the telegram, he went to Governor's Island to visit Li Mu. P. Morgan is Li Mu's most welcome partner. How much did P. Morgan invest, J. Morgan invested, and J. Morgan invested. P. Morgan will not get involved in the specific management of the company, and give the business owner full autonomy, which is not possible in today's banks, including the Bank of America.

Among all the banks, Bank of America has the strictest vetting of customers, even if the money is lent, Bank of America will check the financial status of the lending company at any time, and if the financial situation is not normal, Bank of America will terminate the loan contract and try to recover the loan.

As a result, Bank of America is also in the best shape of all banks.

In order to better strengthen the momentum, J· P. Morgan suggested enlisting Rockefeller's investment, even if Rockefeller only invested a dollar. P. Morgan and Li Mu will not refuse.

Cooperative management, although it sounds more troublesome, there will be many difficulties in the actual implementation, but in fact it is the best way to reduce risks, and for Li Mu, striving for more partners has more important significance, which will bring more friends to Li Mu, so that Li Mu's relationship network is more stable, for Li Mu this is more important than making money.

In the current United States, the Junma Group is definitely at the top of the pyramid, so Li Mu has enough confidence even in the face of the Secretary of State, just like the Panama company, if Li Mu can find enough allies, then it will weave a larger network of relationships.

Li Mu is not the only one who thinks so, J· P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, John Rockefeller, etc., they almost all thought that way, so cross-holdings are now very popular in New York, which will bring big corporations closer together, and make them more resilient to risk, but it also means that classes are starting to show signs of solidification.

Enterprises like Junma Group and Standard Oil are inherently unstoppable giants in their respective fields, and their combined influence is not as simple as one plus one equals two, and should be equal to three, or equal to four, so as to be worthy of Li Mu and Rockefeller.

On March 5th, Li Mu and J· P. Morgan, John Rockefeller, and Andrew Carnegie held a meeting at the beach club, and the meeting decided that five companies, including the Barron family, would jointly contribute $12 million to form the Pittsburgh Steel Company to invest in iron ore in the Great Lakes region, with a ratio of 2:2:3:1.5:1.5, and Li Mu and Rockefeller each contributing $2.4 million. P. Morgan contributed $3.6 million, and Andrew Carnegie and the Barrons each contributed $1.8 million.

Although J· P. Morgan had the highest proportion of investment, but J. Morgan had the highest proportion of investment, but J. Morgan had the highest proportion of investment. P. Morgan was not responsible for the company's specific operations, and the meeting unanimously agreed that Andrew Carnegie would be the general manager of Pittsburgh Steel Company. P. Morgan, Rockefeller and others were also not involved in the management, and Morgan & Co. and Bank of America would send a joint accounting team to audit the Pittsburgh Steel Company's operating conditions, which was conducted on a monthly basis, and only reviewed whether the Pittsburgh Steel Company's business conditions were normal, and there was no power to check and balance Andrew Carnegie.

As always, the Barron family's investment is still counted on Gloria's head, although Will paid for it, but Will is not on the list of shareholders of Pittsburgh Steel, this is also to avoid suspicion, as the commander of the 1st Division Cavalry Division, Will is restricted in many ways, if the news of Will's investment in Pittsburgh Steel Company spreads, it will immediately become another scandal for the military, and this consequence is unbearable for both Will and Pittsburgh Steel.

"Now I have a list of three iron mines, these three iron mine owners are unlucky, they all died in this riot, the largest of which belongs to Daniel Davy, this riot was first started by Daniel David, this company owns the largest iron ore mine in the Great Lakes region, the mine and the company are valued at $3.5 million, but it is certainly not worth so much now, and the details will be discussed until I get to Pennsylvania." Andrew Carnegie was overjoyed, and getting involved in the iron ore mines of the Great Lakes region was Carnegie's long-held dream, and now that it finally had a chance to come true, Carnegie wanted to go to Pennsylvania now.

"Whatever you do, we don't participate in the management, you just let it go." Li Mu and J· P. Morgan is definitely the best investor of this era, and of course Andrew Carnegie is also worthy of their trust, and the future steel king is now full of wings, and it is time to soar to the sky.

Li Mu is happy to hear about Andrew Carnegie's success, after all, Carnegie-Rim Steel Company has half of Li Mu's shares, so the higher Andrew Carnegie's worth, Li Mu's wealth will also rise.

"Wait for my good news, at most a month, these mines will become the property of Pittsburgh Steel." Andrew Carnegie is full of confidence, and if it comes to other areas, Andrew Carnegie may be a little more modest, but in the field of steel, Andrew Carnegie is the best of the bunch.

"Reem, I haven't congratulated you yet, it's rude, if I can, I hope to be the godfather of my children." Rockefeller doesn't care how much return there will be on investment, and being more closely tied to Li Mu is what Rockefeller values.

Godfather, it's too early.
