It is undeniable that Carnegie is very smart, from penniless to rich, Carnegie only took a few decades, and the speed of wealth accumulation is indeed dazzling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, Li Mu is not bad, Li Mu has read the autobiographies of such tycoons as Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan, etc., and is no stranger to the family history of these tycoons.

Of course, Li Mu didn't want his name to be associated with "robbers", so Li Mu wanted to accumulate wealth in a more legal and sensible way.

Carnegie has not yet realized this, and Carnegie's character does not allow Carnegie to give up, so although Li Mu clearly rejected Carnegie's request to buy patents, Carnegie is still working hard: "As far as I know, you don't have the idea of devoting yourself to the steel industry, so there are only two ways for the patent you applied for to become cash, since you have rejected one of them, then that is, you want to retain the ownership of the patent and collect royalties, I understand it correctly." ”

"That's right." Li Mu does not deny that it is really useless to keep this patent in his hands, and he must find an appropriate way to bring profits to Li Mu.

"So can you give the right to use the patent to my Carnegie McCandris Steel Company, and I can guarantee that your income will not be less than five thousand dollars a year." Carnegie was fully aware of Li Mu's difficulty, and Li Mu didn't look like a person who lacked money, which made Carnegie begin to face the reality, even if he couldn't monopolize the patent, then it was not bad to get the right to use it.

"Of course, thank you very much for your appreciation, but five thousand dollars a year doesn't guarantee that you're the only one who will be licensed, and you know how big the market for this little thing is." Li Mu must maximize the surplus value, even if it will make Li Mu look hateful in the eyes of Carnegie, Li Mu will not hesitate to do so.

"Reem, don't be so greedy, the market for this little thing is not as big as you think, there is a fact that you may not know, after the completion of the Pacific Railway, the government's investment in the railway is decreasing, people's enthusiasm is also decreasing, and the demand for related parties will also decrease, so you have to lower your psychological expectations, so that you will not be disappointed." Carnegie was a good lobbyist, and the arguments sounded strong.

Carnegie also said half-truths, after the completion of the Pacific Railroad, the US government's investment in railroads is indeed decreasing, but people's enthusiasm is not reduced, but enthusiasm, all railroad-related company stocks are sought after on Wall Street, people's sanity is disappearing, and a huge disaster is coming.

However, except for Li Mu, I'm afraid no one foresaw this fact.

"Really? If I had money now, I would use it all to buy shares in Erie. Li Mu unceremoniously exposed Carnegie's lies, showing an unusual familiarity with the U.S. financial market.

Erie is not a milk company, but a company that manages the Erie Railroad, around the company's stock, financial predators Gould and Vanderbilt launched a "financial war" five years ago, Vanderbilt was defeated, Gould and his partner Drew were also deceived by Gould's design, and disappeared without a trace after losing $1.3 million, after Gould took control of Erie, Erie's stock rose steadily, and is now a famous bull stock.

"Damn it!" Carnegie finally turned around and cursed angrily.

"Mr. Andrew, what you say." Will had a righteous face.

Will must be a notorious villain to those profiteers in Springfield, but to Gloria and Sandy, Will is a loving father.

When facing profiteers, Will can not hesitate to attack, but in front of Gloria and Sandy, Will never even explode.

"Please forgive me-" Carnegie apologized to Will a little perfunctorily, his eyes still on Li Mu, "Then Ream, what do you want?" Or, if I want to get exclusive access to a patent, what price should I pay? ”

Finally taking the initiative in the negotiations, Li Mu showed a satisfied smile: "Mr. Andrew, as far as I know, your Carnegie-McCandris Steel Company has not yet opened, right?" ”

"Yes." Carnegie was not surprised that Li Mu knew about this, Li Mu even knew such a secret thing as Carnegie's operation of the sleeper car company, and Carnegie really couldn't think of Li Mu still didn't know anything.

Only now did Carnegie realize that it was a mistake for him to come to see Li Mu so eagerly, and if Carnegie could have been more patient, then maybe he would have obtained better conditions. Sitting in front of Li Mu, although he was well-dressed, Carnegie felt like he was standing naked in the open square, and his whole body was so delicately exposed to the public, without the slightest secret.

The feeling made Carnegie uncomfortable.

"As you said, with the completion of the Pacific Railroad, the government's investment in railroads is decreasing, and in the last eight years, the price of steel rails has dropped by 14 percent, so the current steel production capacity seems to be in surplus, so if you want to have a good profit, a fist product is essential, and that's what you're here for—" Li Muxian did not talk about the right to use patents, but analyzed the current situation with Carnegie.

With Li Mu's analysis, the anger and anxiety on Carnegie's face had disappeared, and it began to gradually become solemn.

Li Mu is right, the current steel capacity is indeed "seemingly" surplus, Pittsburgh is currently the steel center of the United States, and Carnegie's Carnegie-McCandris Steel Company will also be established in Pittsburgh. As far as Pittsburgh is concerned, although there are many steel plants, most of them are only in the initial stage, and no one steel company occupies a monopoly position, so Carnegie's company really needs a fist product if it wants to stand out.

"If I could, I'd like to be involved in your Carnegie-McCandris Steel Company in the form of a technology stake." Li Mu finally tried to see the dagger and told his true purpose.

"How much do you want to own?" Carnegie did not reject Li Mu's proposal, and the current Carnegie certainly could not imagine how huge the Carnegie-McCandris Steel Company would be in the future.

"The more the merrier, and even injecting funds is no problem, but I don't participate in the operation, the right to operate is yours." Li Mu guaranteed Carnegie's authority over Carnegie-McCandris Steel.

"We're going to talk about that." Carnegie straightened his collar and finally straightened his attitude, treating Li Mu as a potential partner.
