096 Expectation
The signing ceremony was held in the conference room of the hotel where Li Mu stayed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, it is not accurate to say that the "ceremony" is not very accurate, there are no reporters to take pictures, and no guests are invited to witness, the contract text is negotiated in advance, Li Mu only has to sign, not even a handprint, within three months to the Carnegie McCandris Steel Company account, Li Mu has completed the obligation, and the rest is to enjoy the dividend.
"How about it, do you want to go to your company? You are now one of the shareholders and you are supposed to inspect your property. After signing, Carnegie sent an invitation to Li Mu.
"Forget it, I don't want to breathe in the haze, I really can't understand it, how can you stand it?" Li Mu looked at the gray sky outside the window without hesitation.
It is indeed a bit serious, Li Muzhu's hotel is the best hotel in Pittsburgh, the street in front of the hotel is wide, and it is about sixty or seventy meters away from the building opposite. The distance of sixty or seventy meters is actually not far, but standing in Li Mu's position, it is already a little difficult to see the buildings opposite, and the concentration of haze can be seen.
"Haze? What is that? Carnegie couldn't understand the meaning of the word "smog" and didn't think Pittsburgh was so polluted.
"A kind of air quality that will affect your health-" Li Mu explained very simply, and there was no way to explain it clearly, there was no air purifier or PM2.5 detector these days, so it was a bit troublesome to explain this problem clearly.
"Okay, I've prepared a banquet in the evening, and the other shareholders of the company will also attend, along with our mayor and a few important councilors, do you want to come?" Carnegie didn't insist on it, and sent a second invitation to Li Mu.
Before "going to sea", Carnegie was the director of the Pennsylvania Railroad's western district, a position that was very important, so Carnegie was also widely traveled in Binzhou, and it was not surprising that he could invite the mayor.
"No, if you don't mind, let's have a drink here, I don't want to go to a strange place to be judged by people, I can imagine how those people would ask: Wow, you're so young - Ream, how does it feel to kill Jesse James - what a shit idiot question!" Li Mu's complaints were also merciless, and Tom was also scolded by the way.
"Hahahaha-just do as you say." Carnegie finally saw Li Mu's black face, and patted his thigh very unkindly and burst into laughter.
Then have a drink, there must be no alcohol in the conference room, drink to the bar, fortunately in this year's bar does not check the ID card, Li Mu, as a customer of the hotel, can enter and leave the bar at will, so the group went to the bar to sit.
In order to prevent some drunkards from getting drunk and making trouble, the tables and chairs in the bars were nailed to the ground and could not be moved.
Li Mu and Carnegie found a corner to sit down, and Henry, Yan Hu, Yan Shun and Carnegie sat slightly outward, which did not affect Li Mu and Carnegie's chat, but also protected Li Mu and Carnegie.
If you want to say that the security in the United States is really not very good these days -- well, even in the 21st century, the security in the United States is not very good.
"You're lucky, I'm sure you'll find out how wise your choice is today in five years at most." Carnegie was referring to the cooperation between Li Mu and Carnegie, and it seemed that Carnegie had a lot of confidence.
"Who should be glad that it won't take five years for you to find out how wise your choice is today." Li Mu sent Carnegie's words back intact, and Li Mu was also very confident in this regard.
"Hahahaha—I hope so." Carnegie is in a good mood today, and he is hilarious at every turn.
Li Mu didn't know where the laughter was, politely snorted, Li Mu put forward his advice: "You have to be careful, the current steel industry is not easy to do, next year or the year after, maybe the economic crisis will hit again, this time it is estimated to be more serious than the last time." ”
Although Li Mu believed in Carnegie's ability, he was also worried about whether his appearance would lead to a "butterfly effect", because the economic crisis of 1873 was the first global economic crisis in the capitalist world, and Li Mu did not want Carnegie to fall in the economic crisis.
"You're more powerful than I thought-" Carnegie admired a little surprised, and then leaned forward with his whole clothes, and put on a mysterious posture of knowing that God knows what I know: "I think so too, since we have the same opinion, then you had better be prepared, the economic crisis is indeed dangerous, but there is also a chance in the danger, the enterprises that can't bear it will be eliminated, and it will be another world if you carry it over, I hope that the economic crisis will come more violently, which may save us a lot of time." ”
Before he received the title of "charity tycoon", Carnegie received the title of "robber tycoon", which shows what Carnegie did in the economic crisis.
That's right, what Carnegie is best at is buying bottoms, and before the economic crisis, Carnegie's Carnegie-McCandris Steel Company was already very good, but it was only a very good one, and it did not establish a monopoly position in all directions.
After the economic crisis of 1873, Carnegie annexed the shares of other shareholders of the company, turning the Carnegie McCandris Steel Company into the Carnegie Brothers Steel Company, and then after the economic crisis in 1882, the steel production of the Carnegie Brothers Steel Company has accounted for one-thirty-seventh of the United States, and then after the economic crisis in 1890, the Carnegie Brothers Steel Company became the Carnegie Steel Company. Morgan was the three giants of the American economy at that time.
See, this is Carnegie's family history, for others, the economic crisis is like a tsunami from which there is no escape, but for Carnegie, every economic crisis is a golden opportunity, and every time after an economic crisis, Carnegie can take his steel company to the next level.
"Bottom-hunting is a good idea, but you first have to have enough money." To be honest, Li Mu did not object to Carnegie's approach, shopping malls are like battlefields, winning and losing, there is nothing to say, if Li Mu's business dies in the economic crisis, no one will pity Li Mu.
"So I'm optimistic about you, as far as I know, you were penniless when you came ashore in San Francisco, and it's only been a long time since you were able to invest in a steel company -- tsk, if I can build a giant that can monopolize the American steel industry in thirty years, then how high you will reach in thirty years -- I'm looking forward to it!" Carnegie looked at Li Mu expectantly.
Expect!
Of course, I am looking forward to it, and Li Mu himself is also looking forward to it.
