Chapter 32: The Acquisition of Gillette

For ordinary people, more than $4 million is definitely a fantastic number, but it is far from enough for Yan Shao's plan. After all, Yan Shao's goal was not just to overthrow the Qing government, but to build a truly strong China.

4 million is only enough for Yan Shao to become a warlord, but it can't achieve his true desire.

"And how are you going to spend this money?" When she returned home, Caterina asked with some curiosity, and even Elaline turned to look.

As a person close to him, Yan Shao did not hide his thoughts from them. However, they only know a rough idea, and they are not very clear about the details.

"Of course, first turn the money into more money..."

Since 4 million is not enough, then turn this money into 40 million, or even 400 million...

Ahem, the latter one seems to be a bit exaggerated, so it's okay to ignore it...

"That's right..."Holding the two in his arms, Yan Shao said to them with a smile. Prepare well today, and we'll go to Boston tomorrow...", he patted the two of them with his hand, and then walked upstairs, leaving only the two of them standing there and looking at each other.

You must know that Yan Shao, who is usually Yan Shao, usually takes advantage of it before letting go, and today's performance is somewhat abnormal in the eyes of the two.

And they still don't understand, why do they want to go to Massachusetts?

————————————————————

Because of longevity and other reasons, the incandescent lamp, which has been invented for decades, has not been effectively promoted. It is precisely for this reason that Edison will be determined to obtain tungsten filament, because tungsten filament is equivalent to the key on the shackle, as long as this shackle is opened, then there is nothing that can restrict the development of incandescent lamp.

So when people learned that the inventor of tungsten filament was Yan Shao, it immediately caused a great sensation.

It's just that by the time the media in New York came to the door, Yan Shao and Elamine had already taken the train to Boston...

"Now those reporters must be eager to hit their heads against the wall..."

In the VIP compartment of the train, thinking about the appearance of those reporters after they pounced, Yan Shao touched his chin and laughed.

He was in such a hurry to get to Boston, partly because of the time constraints, but also because he didn't want to avoid these reporters.

The reason why Yan Shao wanted to avoid reporters so much was because after they escaped, a large number of reporters surrounded their residences. Every day, I was asking how they survived, how they lived on a desert island, and the relationship between three people, etc., and it took them a week to stop for a while.

That's why this time, before the news spread, he dragged Elano and the others to Boston...

"But now you should tell me why you went to Boston..."Yan Shao was touching his chin and smirking evilly, and Elainor, who was sitting on the side, squinted at him.

Until now, she hadn't said the reason for going to Boston, which made her and Caterina a little dissatisfied, and even her face was a little unpleasant.

It's not that they didn't ask Yan Shao, but Yan Shao always smiled and didn't say anything on the way.

If it was something important, the two would naturally be smart not to ask. However, they have been with Yan Shao for so long, and they know him very well. It is very clear that Yan Shao doesn't say it now because the matter is important, but just out of personal bad taste, he wants to sell them to see them in a hurry...

Seeing that Yan Shao was still there smiling and silent, Elaline shook his head helplessly. "Forget it, since you don't want to say it, then we won't force you..."

Seeing that Ileno and Caterina looked like they were going to use force, Yan Shao, who knew that he was afraid of being beaten if he continued like this, did not dare to continue to sell Guanzi, and hurriedly answered their questions.

"Didn't Eleno study business management in college, so I'm going to buy one or two promising companies this time, so that you can run them for me, so that you don't have to sit at home all day and get bored..."

"Is that so?" Hearing this, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and at the same time, they also felt warm in their hearts.

However, when Yan Shao said the name of the Boston-based company, the faces of the two people became a little strange, even ugly...

Because the Boston-based company has a simple, easy-to-remember name...

"American Safe Razor Company..."

And the owner and founder of this company is a middle-aged man named Kemp Gillette.

Let two women manage a company that produces razors, this kind of idea is undoubtedly only Yan Shao, so it didn't take long for Yan Shao to pay a terrible price...

About an hour later, Yan Shao in the carriage was miserable as if he had been violently beaten by more than a dozen slut wheels, while Elaline and Caterina on the side were lightly high-fived, and by the way, they discussed the benefits of proper exercise for weight loss and body shaping...

————————————————————

Of course, Yan Shao could not hand over the acquired company to them to manage, after all, they would eventually return to China, and when the time came, would they cross an ocean to manage it, or should they stay in the United States? So it was just a joke...

His real purpose this time is indeed to buy the company, but it is only an acquisition...

In fact, Yan Shao had the idea of acquiring a company like Gillette as early as Marseille, but although he also had a lot of money at that time, it was still a little insufficient to buy a few companies, so he chose to go to the United States.

As long as the tungsten filament can be obtained, the acquisition will naturally become quite smooth.

But people are not as good as heaven, and no one expected that they would encounter a hurricane at sea, and as a result, they had to play a lonely island to survive. Fortunately, it only took more than three months for Yan Shao and them to be rescued, otherwise Yan Shao's plan would have been disrupted.

That's right, scramble ...

What do you need in the first place to make a revolution?

Not fame, but guns!

The barrel of a gun comes out of power, this can be said to be the most realistic sentence.

In the history of China, there has never been a shortage of idealists and revolutionaries with noble personalities. It's because their guns aren't hard enough.

As long as the gun is hard enough, it will not be difficult for the revolution to succeed.

Throughout Chinese history, the last people to succeed in power were those who had a hard enough gun.

Of course, this is not to say that the losers are unaware of the importance of the barrel of the gun, but they lack one thing besides the barrel of the gun...

Money...

Yan Shao wants to buy Gillette just for money, no one knows better than him how valuable Gillette is in the future, if he doesn't take advantage of the acquisition now, it won't be so easy for him to buy it in a few years.

So after getting the $4.7 million, the first thing Yan Shao did was to go to Boston and buy Gillette, which is still in its infancy...
