The meeting is over. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Most of them had left satisfied, leaving only Morgan and Qin Lang in the conference room.

The Wall Street Emperor, who was in an unusually happy mood, lit a cigar. "What's next for you, Qin? Stay in New York or return to San Diego? ”

"Back to San Diego, of course." Qin Lang picked up his coffee, "It's been a few months since I left the company, and I have to go back to deal with some things." ”

"My personal opinion, you can spend more time in New York, and I want to introduce you to more friends in the financial world." Morgan said in a low voice, "As for the matter of San Diego, you can leave it to that Miss McBride." Seem...... She's always managing your company? ”

"Rachel's management skills are really good, but her decision-making skills are still a little bit worse." Qin Lang said as he considered the meaning of this sudden invitation. That's probably not a good thing. Introduce him to more friends in the financial world? Did Morgan want others to mistakenly think that he was a vassal of the Morgan Group?

Or, a new, unidentified partner?

Qin Lang didn't like Morgan's plan. Consortiums, Morgan or otherwise, were only a force at his disposal, but he was absolutely unwilling to be swallowed up by such a force himself—although, of course, it was generous to Morgan or other consortium leaders.

Ordinary people may be willing to accept this kind of generosity because they can't become a member of the consortium even if they try their best, but this is not Qin Lang's pursuit.

It's just that he can't just refuse Morgan's invitation; He couldn't afford the wrath of a consortium leader. Now, he had to be as cautious as possible -- first, of course, to find out whether Morgan really had what he thought he was trying to do.

"Mr. Morgan, be honest, you want me to stay in New York, why?"

"What do you think, Mr. Qin?" The ball was kicked back into place.

"I think? I think you're planning to reveal an unmistakable message to others in this way, and I'm yours...... New partners. ”

"You're smart and sharp." Of course, this is why Morgan intends to turn Qin Lang into his new partner – Qin Lang has the ability to make the Morgan Group stronger, but he can also make other consortia strong - and no one wants the outcome to turn out to be the latter, even if he is Morgan.

But the difference between the Wall Street Emperor and ordinary people is that he will never wishfully assume that others will accept his generosity; Even if Qin Lang's expression didn't change at all, Morgan could still feel his thoughts. "Obviously, you didn't like my idea."

"It's a pity, but I have to say, so."

"Can you tell me why?" Although it had long been clear that Qin Lang was not an ordinary person, Morgan still wondered why he would refuse his generosity. After all, as many believe, being his partner is a sign of wealth and talent.

"Oh, it's actually very simple," Qin Lang put down his coffee cup, "I want to decide everything by myself instead of acting under the command of others." ”

"I don't even like to discuss it with someone before making a decision, do you?"

Qin Lang shook his head. "I don't mind discussing decision-making with others, Mr. Morgan, but I insist that the only one who makes the final decision can be me."

"I see, Mr. Qin," Morgan nodded, "it's hard for people like us to work together. But," he added, "do you mind if I invest in your company?" Don't rush to turn me down, I know your company will be in need of capital for some time to come. ”

He was right, Qin Lang's company was in dire need of funds - the Great Viper Weapons Company needed to expand its production, and the Umbrella Security Services Company needed to increase the number of mercenaries. With the state of operation of these two companies, they will only be able to do this on their own after a long period of accumulation.

But that would take at least a few years, and Qin Lang didn't have the patience to wait that long, and so did his potential customers - and according to the plan, he would be the only arms manufacturer in the Qing government. According to the existing production capacity of the Great Viper Weapons Company, the Qing government's one-year arms order can allow the company to produce for several years, and customers in other countries will never have so much patience.

The new expansion must be completed as soon as possible. But Qin Lang still refused to accept Morgan's suggestion.

"It doesn't seem to me that your advice is very good, Mr. Morgan." "If you were the only one who invested in my company, there would be two problems: you would invest too little money to make any difference; If you invest too much money, then, my company will become yours. ”

Morgan laughed. "You're really shrewd, Mr. Qin. Of course, your concerns are legitimate...... But how are you going to get out of the financial problem? ”

"It's simple: increase the number of shareholders. At the same time, look for several consortia and apply for the same amount of loans from them. Qin Lang said bluntly, not hiding his intentions at all - in front of Morgan, hiding intentions is not only meaningless, but also makes him feel dissatisfied.

So now, Morgan is still smiling. "Obviously, unless a majority of the consortium representatives on the board are united, no one can interfere with your exercise of power – but it's not easy to get several consortiums to do so."

After laughing for a while, maybe thirty seconds, he stopped. "Of course, you're obviously not going to tolerate having some consortium representatives on your board for a long time, and you're going to buy all the equity back if you can, won't you?"

"Looks like you know my personality perfectly, Mr. Morgan." Qin Lang blinked. "So, are you still willing to invest in my company?"

"Of course, why not?" Whether he was preparing to make him his partner or investing in his company, Morgan's intention was clear, using Qin Lang's ability to gain benefits for himself. As long as he can get benefits, even if it is just a short-term investment, he will never let it go.

And what is there to meet Qin Lang's requirements a little? As long as he never favors any one consortium, he should maintain a good relationship with him. Morgan is fully confident that he can give himself more opportunities to make money.

But this time, Qin Lang had to convince others to accept his demands on his own. "You can talk to Mr. Rockefeller or anybody else, and they're not going to leave New York for a short time."

"Thank you so much for your generosity, Mr. Morgan." Qin Lang stood up and bowed lightly to Morgan with respect, "Then, I'll leave first." ”

"If you don't have any special arrangements for tomorrow night, I hope you can come to my house for dinner, Mr. Qin. My family has always wanted to see you. Naturally, the Wall Street Emperor still intended to make others think that his relationship with Qin Lang was extraordinary. And this time, he couldn't refuse.

"Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Morgan, and I'll be sure to arrive on time." Bowing to Morgan again, Qin Lang turned around and strode out of the conference room.

Then he froze for a moment: Samuel Bush and George Walker Harriman were sitting on the couch outside the conference room waiting for him. Seeing that he finally appeared, they immediately stood up. "Mr. Qin, can you talk to us alone?" Harriman said. "It won't take up a lot of your time."

"Of course, Mr. Harriman." Qin Lang smiled. He also wanted to talk to Bush and Harriman alone for a while, and their initiative saved him a lot of trouble.

They walked to the balcony at the end of the hallway, Bush closed the door, exchanged a look with Harriman, and then the Admiralty Secretary began to say, "Mr. Qin, please answer me unmistakably, can the guards of your Umbrella Company fight like soldiers?" ”

"In fact, they are mercenaries." Qin Lang's answer was more direct than he expected, "'Security' or 'Guard' is just a disguised title. You must know that doing so can save you some unnecessary hassles, especially if the employer needs them to do some special work. ”

"Seven hundred mercenaries, they can obviously cause a lot of turmoil."

"If this mercenary army is expanded to 5,000 men, I guarantee that they can capture Manila. Mr. Harriman, do you think the federal government will need them? ”

"The Philippines is Spanish territory, Mr. Qin." Samuel Bush reminded.

"But the federal government is planning to take it from Spain, isn't it?" Qin Lang was not at all worried that his unscrupulousness would cause trouble, if Harriman and Bush didn't have the idea of using his mercenaries to seize Spain, why did they stay and talk to him alone?

Of course, there was no doubt that they wanted to know some information: the combat effectiveness of the Umbrella mercenaries, the fees they needed to pay to hire them, and Qin Lang's opinion on the US government's intentions.

"Take the Philippines from Spain? Do you think it's appropriate for the federal government to do this? "Bush tried to make his questions look flawless; As a senator, he knows what to say best.

"The United States already has the most powerful industrial production capacity in the world, but it still hasn't achieved the international status it wants to match." Qin Lang expressed his attitude, "Therefore, the United States needs a foreign war to show its strength - and Spain, a colonial empire that has long since declined, is the most suitable opponent." ”

The answer is correct, so the conversation continues. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the WWW.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
