"It's actually quite simple, have you ever heard of cars?" Li Tao asked.

"Cars? I've heard of it, but it seems that the technology is not yet mature! Rockefeller Jr. said.

Little Rockefeller, of course, knew about the car, but in fact, the car is not a new thing, and the car has already been invented. But inventing it is not the same thing as putting it into practical use. Just like in China in later generations, if all professional senior technicians were specially dispatched, and then they were specially used to make an airplane. In this case, not to mention the fourth-generation aircraft, even the sixth-generation aircraft can be built. But is it interesting? Obviously there is no interest and it is of no use to the increase in the military power of the country.

And the same is true of today's automobiles, although the current automobiles have been invented, they are not only unable to produce them in large quantities, but they are also very reliable. These cars that have been invented now are repaired almost three times a day, and you can imagine how bad they are. And at present, the world has just invented the internal combustion engine, and the previous internal combustion engine has not been successful. Cars have always been driven by steam engines, but the thrust-to-weight ratio of steam engines is too poor to effectively push the car, so the car is definitely not good. So this qiē is waiting for the emergence of the internal combustion engine, and the internal combustion engine is a good thing. The internal combustion engine is small and lightweight, and the power is much more powerful than the steam engine, so this will be something that can replace the steam engine.

Of course, Rockefeller Jr. certainly knew that if they could invent a practical internal combustion engine, it would be good news for their Rockefeller family. After all, the internal combustion engine burns oil, especially gasoline, diesel, kerosene is refined from petroleum, and if the car is popularized, the gasoline consumed is amazingly huge. At that time, the demand for oil will increase greatly, and at that time, the price of oil fields and oil controlled by the Rockefeller family will increase out of thin air. In fact, this means that scarce things are expensive, and the price will naturally increase after the market demand soars. This is in line with the law of value.

However, Rockefeller and they waited for a long time, but they could not wait for the day of the internal combustion engine. Moreover, the invention of the internal combustion engine is also a long way from installing the internal combustion engine on the car. In fact, Rockefeller himself secretly tried to study it, but they failed. After all, if you are not in this industry, it is difficult to be able to do things in this industry across industries. So Rockefeller could only wait until foreigners worked out the internal combustion engine. Then the demand for your own oil market soars, so that you can also get a lot of benefits.

"Two Mr. Rockefellers, we in Taiwan have developed very reliable cars, and we can install internal combustion engines on cars." Li Tao said.

"What? You've made a reliable car? Rockefeller Jr. was surprised.

Little Rockefeller didn't expect that Taiwan would be able to make reliable cars? You know, it's not hard to make a car, but it's hard to make a reliable car. To ensure that it runs for a long time without breaking, this is the real power. Nowadays, cars break down after driving twice, so naturally they can't be considered reliable. But if Taiwan can make a good car, then it must be very good. When the time comes, the Rockefellers control the oil. That is equivalent to a lot of market value out of thin air.

And you must know that in the Western world, there is a saying, that is, before the invention of the automobile, the purpose of refining petroleum was only to light lamps. However, after the invention of the automobile, the financial authorities were able to use a large amount of oil, and all kinds of oil were used. And this is the role of the internal combustion engine, and now that the internal combustion engine has been invented, it is equivalent to a very huge piece of good news.

"You want to work with us?" Rockefeller Sr. asked.

Li Tao immediately said, "Yes." We, the Governor, intend to work with you, and we hope to establish an automobile factory in the United States. And make a joint venture with your Rockefeller Corporation. When the time comes, the cars are produced and sold together, and then this will definitely be a very huge boost for you. What do you guys think? ”

"This ......" Rockefeller Jr. hesitated.

Little Rockefeller actually said in good conscience that he was actually more willing, after all, if they could produce a car, it would definitely have a very good promotion effect for them. Then it will definitely be able to promote the sale of oil, which will definitely be good news for Rockefeller. But little Rockefeller was a little worried. That is also the issue of Taiwan's position. If Taiwan were a Western country, Rockefeller Jr. would not be afraid. However, Taiwan belongs to the Oriental countries, and it is also a country that Britain and France are always on guard against, which simply makes Rockefeller Jr. feel embarrassed.

If we cooperate with Taiwan, will it cause misunderstanding among Western countries? After all, they, Rockefeller, are now a super-gigantic behemoth. Now Rockefeller has become a representative of the Americans. Of course, if Rockefeller and Taiwanese officials cooperate, I am afraid it will cause a big misunderstanding. If Rockefeller can control the U.S. government, there will be no problem. However, now that the American consortium trusts have just risen, those consortiums in the United States are still a period of preparation before the government is controlled, and the current US government and consortiums are actually engaged in a tug-of-war, and neither side can completely help the other. If the consortium wants to really control the US government, it must wait until more than 10 or even 20 years later, which is the case in the past.

Therefore, even the consortium at this time had to consider the opinions of the US government, so Rockefeller Jr. was very hesitant to cooperate with Taiwan. Once the cooperation is achieved, it is equivalent to the cooperation between Rockefeller and Taiwan, will the governments of the Western powers feel worried about the Rockefeller consortium? If Rockefeller wants to go international by then, it will be troublesome. So little Rockefeller was very worried and didn't know what to choose.

"Director Li Tao, I think we can cooperate in the name of your wife of the governor of Taiwan!" Rockefeller Sr. said.

"What?" Li Tao didn't expect such a statement.

Li Tao couldn't help but feel that Rockefeller was really an old fritter, worthy of being a person with many years of experience. He knew that Wang Guorui's identity as the governor of Taiwan was too sensitive, so he knew to avoid Wang Guorui's identity as the governor of Taiwan, so that it would be much easier to cooperate. As for cooperating in the name of Wang Guorui's wife, it is much easier. In this way, Wang Guorui's woman is equivalent to cooperating with Wang Guorui, and she can also shirk it. This kind of relationship that is not far away or close is the most test of people's brain wisdom. But the old Rockefeller actually thought of this, which made Li Tao feel surprised.

"That's okay, our Lord Wang has a wife, and his name is Tanya Adams, which is you American. So I think he'll be able to work with you! Li Tao said.

"That's great, it's a lot easier!" Rockefeller Sr. said.

Li Tao then discussed with the old Rockefeller about how to formulate the corresponding cooperation, and Li Tao also cooperated with Rockefeller in the name of Wang Guorui's "wife" Tanya, anyway, Tanya is an American, and it is not a cooperation with foreigners for Rockefeller. As for whether Tanya and Wang Guorui are married, no one will care about this anyway. For Chinese, Wang Guorui and Tanya are already a family, but in the United States they have not been able to register their marriage. Anyway, this kind of loophole is the result of mutual trust between the two sides. After all, when foreigners questioned him, Rockefeller could completely excuse himself by saying that Wang Guorui and Tanya had not registered their marriage in the United States, and as for the registered marriage in China, it was not something that Rockefeller, an American, could manage. Therefore, this is equivalent to taking advantage of a loophole.

As for Tanya, she also inexplicably owns an industry, that is, a car production factory. And this car was also named the Iron Horse brand car by Tanya, but for many people's understanding, isn't the car the Iron Horse? So this brand is still a good name.

"Mr. Rockefeller, I hope you can help me train the oil workers, what do you think?" Li Tao asked.

"Yes!" Rockefeller Sr. said.

When the two sides negotiated the relevant cooperation outline, the next thing was discussed by the subordinates, so Li Tao also left the Rockefeller manor.

"Father, why do you want to cooperate with Taiwan?" Rockefeller Jr. asked.

Rockefeller Sr. said, "You should know that China is a country with infinite potential, and they just lack a strong government, a qualified leader." As long as they have a government that fights to the death for the interests of the country and the nation, China's rise will be unstoppable. In the future, perhaps, we the United States and China will compete for world hegemony. We, the United States, are far away from Europe, far from the center of the world, and we have enough resources in the Americas, so we have enough potential. This is not the case with China, which has a huge territory, a large population, and many fewer resources than we have in the Americas. In addition, there are no really powerful countries around them, and they are far from the powder keg of Europe, so naturally there is no competition. So they all have the potential to become a top power in the world. ”

"Then why are you working with Taiwan? If Taiwan seizes China, isn't that a threat to us, the United States? Rockefeller Jr. asked.

"I want to leave a way out for us Rockefellers, because even though we are Americans, we Americans are immigrants. There is a saying in China, that is, there is no place to stay here, as an immigrant, how loyal you are to this place, then you can imagine the loyalty to this country. You have to remember a sentence, capitalists are stateless, understand? Rockefeller Sr. said.

Rockefeller Jr. was thoughtful, and obviously probably understood what Rockefeller Sr. meant, that is, because the United States lacked the spirit of a cohesive nation. Although it may be comparable to China in the short term, and even surpass China economically and militarily. However, if this struggle continues for a long time, I am afraid that what will be contested will be the will power and cohesion of the nation. However, the United States is all immigrants, and their willpower and cohesion are definitely not comparable to that of China, a single ethnic group and with its own culture. So, the old Rockefeller may just want to leave a way back for himself. (To be continued......)
