Since the beginning of last year, Cornelius Vanderbilt has been bedridden, and in the middle of the year, Corneelliers Vanderbilt has been critically ill several times, but he has been holding a breath and refusing to swallow, probably Cornelius Vanderbilt also knows that once he dies, the Vanderbilt family will decline, so he insists.

No one can escape the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death, even if the Vanderbilt family is the first "billionaire family" in the actual sense of the United States, even if Cornelius Vanderbilt himself is magnificent, but in the face of time, Cornelius Vanderbilt still has to admit defeat after all, and now, it is time for the song to end and disperse.

The same opponent in the automotive industry, Li Mu has enough reasons to target the Vanderbilt family, when the Chinese Congress passed the budget last year, Li Mu was also overshadowed by William Vanderbilt, so now Li Mu has enough reasons to fall into the ground, not to mention that this is not righteous, Li Mu is definitely not the only one who wants to divide the Vanderbilt family property, and he has created an unparalleled miracle in the business world, Cornelius Vanderbilt has created an unparalleled miracle, but he has also formed countless hatreds, just when it is time to settle accounts after the autumn.

"The Union Pacific Railroad and the North Pacific Railroad are conspiring to buy the New York and Hudson River Railroad Company, and once the New York and Hudson River Railroad shares collapse, William Vanderbilt will have to pull money from other companies to maintain the New York and Hudson River Railroad shares if he wants to keep the family's glimmer of hope for a resurgence, and then our opportunity will come, and I think you're best placed to take over the Vanderbilt Automotive Works." Rockefeller had already raised the butcher's knife, and William Vanderbilt had no ability to resist and could only act according to the script designed by Rockefeller.

After fading out of the shipping industry, the Vanderbilt family became the largest railroad tycoons in the United States, and the former computer game railroad tycoon was based on Corneliers Vanderbilt.

After William Vanderbilt took over the management, he tried to transform many times, but it has never been successful, so the New York and Hudson River Railroad Company is still the core industry of the Vanderbilt family, just like the position of the Horse Arms Company to the Horse Group, if William Vanderbilt does not want to watch the family decline, then the New York and Hudson River Railroad Company is William Vanderbilt's last bottom line.

Although Rockefeller is also trying to operate across borders, at this stage, Rockefeller has not yet set foot in the automotive industry, so only Li Mu is qualified to take over the Vanderbilt Automobile Factory, which is a feast.

"Of course, there's no doubt that the best car in the world is a stallion." Li Mu is the best at it, this is a good opportunity to dominate the American auto industry, and Li Mu will never let it go.

"I'm sure you can do it, and before that, be prepared, if you are slow, you may end up with trouble." Rockefeller reminded Li Mu that now was not the time to celebrate, and the war had even just begun.

Although the car has not been around for a long time, it has shown enough vitality to see the prospects of the automobile industry for anyone with a discerning eye, so it is difficult to guarantee that no one will cross the bar, maybe Rockefeller himself has this idea, after all, because of the relationship between Mobil oil, Rockefeller's understanding of the prospects of the automobile industry must be much deeper than others.

"I'd love to see who would be so bold, and if anyone else wants to take over the Vanderbilt family's car factory, I'll let him know just how sharp the Horse Arms Company's products really are." Li Mu is domineering, the reason why William Vanderbilt was involved in the automobile industry did not cause Li Mu's target, because the automobile industry was in a period of development at that time, Li Mu needed other products to prove the excellence of Junma Automobile, and now Li Mu has no need for this, and the excellence of Junma Automobile has been vividly demonstrated through two consecutive national automobile rally, so if anyone is involved in the automotive industry, then Li Mu is not welcome.

In the final analysis, the capital game is a game for a few people, and William Vanderbilt can produce cars, that is because the Vanderbilt family and the Horse Group are about the same size, so Li Mu can only recognize it even if he pinchs his nose, try it for another person, Li Mu let him understand why the flowers are so red in minutes.

Back on Governor's Island, Li Mu did not sit back and wait for pie to fall from the sky, and instructed Yan Shun to collect information about the Vanderbilt family in many ways, and Li Mu must also know himself and his opponent in order to survive a hundred battles.

According to Li Mu's intelligence analysis, the Vanderbilt family is indeed not optimistic, since the beginning of last year, Cornelius Vanderbilt fell ill, the Vanderbilt family's business has entered a state of loss, the most ugly financial statements are the Vanderbilt family's core industry, New York and Hudson River Railroad Company, in the first half of last year, New York and Hudson River Railroad Company lost about 10 million US dollars, and in the second half of the year, the loss was even more, just from August to November, The New York and Hudson River Railroad lost $8 million.

At the end of last year, William Vanderbilt sought loans from several banks, including the Bank of America and the City Bank of New York, trying to transfuse blood for the New York and Hudson River Railroad Company, but the nature of capital chasing up and down was doomed to William Vanderbilt's failure to return, and the City Bank of New York directly rejected the loan from the Vanderbilt family, and the Bank of America was slightly better, but it also required that the loan must be mortgaged, and the collateral is the Vanderbilt Motor Company.

Although he knew that the Bank of America was robbing the fire, William Vanderbilt had to drink to quench his thirst, since the establishment of the Vanderbilt Automobile Company, William Vanderbilt has invested nearly 10 million US dollars in the Vanderbilt Automobile Company, and the Vanderbilt Automobile Company also won the congressional order for a time, showing a good state, even so, William Vanderbilt still only got $4 million from the Bank of America, in order to obtain this loan, the Vanderbilt family needs to pay nearly 100,000 US dollars every month.

"How's the Vanderbilt Motor Company doing?" Li Mu also had to calculate the cost and find the most economical way to annex the Vanderbilt Automobile Company, if possible, Li Mu certainly wanted to pay as little money as possible, and it would be best if he could take the Vanderbilt Automobile Company from the Vanderbilt family for free.

At this time, Li Mu's think tank once again played an important role, and the former Secretary of State Hamilton Fish gave the answer effortlessly: "Although it is not bad, it is not good enough compared to the horse automobile company, the Vanderbilt automobile company has three factories, and now it is not in full operation, and the monthly car production is about 1,000 units, this is because the Vanderbilt family got a congressional order last year, otherwise, the output will be lower, and the monthly output of the Vanderbilt automobile company in the first half of the year is only about 600." ”

Three factories, with a minimum of 2,000 workers, can only produce 1,000 cars per month, which is too inefficient.

Compared with all the factories of the same era, the management of the Junma Group is absolutely the most advanced, in order to improve the unit labor efficiency of the workers, the Junma Group implements three shifts, the workers can have a full rest, and the work will naturally be able to burst out more energy, the Junma Group adopts humanized management, all kinds of benefits are the best of the times, at the same time, Li Mu also introduced the assembly line, which greatly improves the work efficiency, if the Junma Group acquires Vanderbilt Automobile Company, Then you can easily increase your current efficiency by more than three times.

For the factory, improving efficiency is of great significance, which not only means an increase in output, but also means a further reduction in costs, although the ZAMA Group provides employees with the best treatment of their contemporaries, but in general, the ZAMA Group's factory is also the most profitable factory in this era, especially in the automotive industry, because Li Mu has now introduced the concept of "luxury cars", and the profit per unit of goods is higher.

The most expensive car of the Junma Group is still the "Phantom series", in order to improve the "Phantom" force, Li Mu completely copied the sales concept of Rolls-Royce, which immediately made the "Phantom" unique, according to Li Mu's vision, the profit of the "Phantom series" should be about twice that of other series, but in fact, the profit of the "Phantom Car" relative to other series reached 280%, and every time a "Phantom" was sold, the Junma Motor Company could earn a profit of nearly 15,000 US dollars. And this price is often out of the market, and many people want to get a "Phantom", but they are all at the level of qualification.

The most commendable point of Rolls-Royce in later generations is reflected in the qualification review, other car companies sell as many cars as possible, eager to produce one and sell one, it is best to maintain zero inventory, only Rolls-Royce cars to buy car owners for qualification review, if the strength is not strong enough, then the factory would rather not make money, will not reduce the Rolls-Royce force.

If you want to buy a "phantom car" from a horse company, you must first prove that you have $500,000 in assets, and the assets here do not include real estate and the company's market value, and you must be real money.

"The value of Vanderbilt Motors is not in their production, but in the nearly 2,000 skilled workers, and if we can take Vanderbilt Motors, then we can start to group ZAMA Motors, which will be a big step for us." Li Mu has a clear plan for the future, including Junma Automobile Company, in the next period of time, Junma Construction Company, Junma Weapons Company, and Junma Electric Company, will begin to develop in the direction of collectivization, which is equivalent to a new round of expansion for Junma Group.

Speaking of collectivization, many subsidiaries of Junma Group have this strength, collectivization is also the ultimate way for the development of enterprises, as the stall is getting bigger and bigger, Li Mu has to subdivide the rights again, otherwise if this continues, Henry will be exhausted to death sooner or later.

In fact, now the horse arms company has begun to quietly begin to collect, because there are multiple factories in Springfield, New Haven, Hartford and other places, Zhang Leye's management is becoming more and more inadequate, Li Mu next needs to develop in the direction of "rules", and further reduce the importance of the general manager to the enterprise, perhaps this is better for Zhang Leye.

"Will the spun-off Junma Arms Company still be called Junma Group, we seem to need to give Junma Weapons Company a new name, so that it will not be loaded in the future." Hamilton Fish served as the Secretary of State, and his ability is naturally not bad, in order to achieve Li Mu's goal, Hamilton Fish also racked his brains.

It is impossible for Li Mu to forget that in another ten years, the United States will give birth to the "antitrust law", and even if it is as powerful as Standard Oil, it will be forced to spin off more than ten subsidiaries.

"You can call it anything, Springfield, Hartford, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that there can only be one company in the arms industry, which is beneficial to both the United States and our Stallion Group." Li Mu will never engage in the appearance of saints in front of people now, naming is not what Li Mu is good at, look at the companies under Li Mu's name now, those engaged in arms are called weapons companies, those engaged in construction are called construction companies, as for those engaged in electrical and telecommunications, well, before becoming a senior consultant of Junma Group, Hamilton Fish always thought that Junma Electric Company and Junma Telecom Company were the same company.

"If we're just going to take over Vanderbilt Motors, then I think we might be able to use a smarter way, like sitting down with William Vanderbilt, who doesn't have much patience, but that would take a lot of trouble off our shoulders." Hamilton Fish is still accustomed to talking about it, and there are other people who really do things, and Li Mu does not need Hamilton Fish to join the front line of labor, Hamilton Fish's experience and connections are what Li Mu needs.

"If you can, of course, help me have dinner with William Vanderbilt, and we can talk." Li Mu also wanted to use a more sensible way, if it was a problem that could be solved with a meal, Li Mu would never want to pull it for too long.

"I'll go, you're the boss, and you should be the last one to play." Hamilton Fish understands his role, and that's exactly what Hamilton Fish does best.
