1855 United States Tycoon

Since Scrooge was assassinated and his life and death uncertain, the stock values ​​of the companies under the Macdonald Consortium have plummeted. The situation with the Union Pacific Railway is the most serious. For some time now, the situation of the entire railway industry has not been very good. Coupled with the assassination of Scrooge, the Union Pacific Railway has become more and more bearish.

Also looked down upon is the Panama Canal project underway by the McDonald Consortium. Originally, this was a project with a very promising prospect or Qian Jing. Nowadays, in various projects, construction problems disappear, and the progress of the project has exceeded people's expectations. Therefore, the shares of the Panama Canal project have been favored by all parties. The price has been quite strong and stable.

But with the news of Scrooge's assassination and various speculations about Scrooge's life and death in the newspapers, even the Panama Canal project's stock has begun to dive substantially.

However, in this project, most of the funds came from the McDonald Consortium. As long as the consortium’s own support is not a problem, the completion of the project will not be a problem. Once this project is completed, making money is almost certain. Therefore, the decline in the share price of the Canal Project immediately made many people look forward to it.

"I heard that Scrooge's wife threw out most of the Union Pacific Railroad stock in one go. Guess who will take over?" Stanford gently shook the glass in his hand, letting the bright red wine hang. Put on the transparent glass wall, and then lift it up again, watching the wine liquid hanging on the glass wall gradually thin. Then he smiled and said to Avery; "It seems that your actions have been quite successful, and Scrooge, the hypocrite, is probably now in The Underworld. Otherwise, they wouldn't have done such a thing."

"Mr. Stanford, I don't know much about economic matters. Can you explain to me why you think Scrooge is dead?" Avery asked.

"Avery Miss. You know that the Union Pacific Railway has actually been out of money for a long time. During the Scrooge era, the McDonald Consortium even used the McDonald Venture Capital Bank to provide it with ultra-low interest rates every year. It uses loans to maintain its operations. Avery Miss, do you know why this is?"

Stanford glanced at Avery and saw the confusion on her face, so he asked: "Avery Miss, to be honest, in addition to such outstanding qualities in your previous actions, I thought you would be a new generation of the DuPont family. The leader of China. How can you not understand such a simple economic problem?"

"Mr. Stanford, I'm just a person in charge of intelligence and certain operations." Avery said with a smile.

"Ah, let's put it this way. To some extent, the Union Pacific Railway does not make money. It is intentional. For one thing, there are a lot of iron ore along the railway, and a large part of the railway's capacity is used for transportation. Iron ore. Of course, there are many other transportation. But by pushing down the price of Union Pacific Railway, the price of national railways has been affected and kept at a low level. Such low transportation prices are for the entire Macdonald Consortium. But it is very beneficial. MacDonald Steel, Standard Oil and everything will benefit from it. Therefore, although the Union Pacific Railway is not profitable on the surface, in fact, it has made a lot of money for the Macdonald Consortium. "

"So why did Scrooge's wife sell it?" Avery asked.

"Scrooge's wife directly controlled radio, electrical and other things. The railway was later handed over to her. But it was Scrooge's brother Carroll and Standard Oil's Rockefeller who benefited from it. If we assume that Scrooge is dead, then his wife's actions are very easy to understand." Stanford said proudly.

"You mean, something went wrong inside the Macdonald Consortium?"

"Have you not seen the news that Scrooge's wife visited Rockefeller at night? This railway is not important to Scrooge's wife, but it is very important to Carol or Rockefeller. Let's just pay attention to it. Whoever has taken these railroad shares, whether it is Carroll or Rockefeller, we will know how their family split."

...

"Rockefeller bought the shares of the Union Pacific Railroad that Dorothea had thrown out? Mr. Morgan, are we too late to do it? You see, Rockefeller has eaten all the benefits." A banker complained to Morgan.

"Don't worry, it's just a small interest." Morgan said, "Look first, and see, if Scrooge is really dead, then Carol, Rockefeller, and Dorothea are fighting for profit. Time is when we actually do it."

...

"Are you sure that this matter was initiated by the remnants of the DuPont family and Stanford?" Scrooge asked.

"Yes, sir. The guy named Arnold, the guy who dropped the bomb, sent us a letter. The letter explained the situation of the person who arranged the attack. Based on the information he provided, we will follow up I arrived at the DuPont family remnants and Stanford. The reporter who contacted Arnold was from the DuPont family. He entered the newspaper through Stanford's relationship. After the incident, he suddenly left the newspaper and lost his track." Bond replied Say.

"Why did the guy named Arnold write us such a letter?" Scrooge asked indifferently, as if he was not talking about the assassination of own, but an irrelevant matter.

"He was worried about being killed, so he kept a hand beforehand..."

"Very well, what else did you find out?"

"A woman may be the organizer of this conspiracy. She has been in contact with Stanford, including recently."

"I see." Scrooge said. "Now the DuPont family is doing business there?"

"Peru has some, and then Russia has some." Bond replied.

"Russia? It's really far. I guess these guys are probably hiding now. Don't touch them now, Medicine Pill keeps an eye on them. Understand?"

"Yes, sir! We will keep an eye on them!" Bond stood up and replied.

"In addition, the plan to clear them must be done first. Of course, the priority should be placed behind the red plan." Scrooge added....

"Now as the first step, John has gained control of the railway. Of course, John has also given up a portion of Standard Oil-this will not shake John’s control of Standard Oil. John, you know, I don’t want to This conflicts with you. But in the next step, we have to create more signs of our internal conflicts and show them to those people. Let those guys mistakenly think that we have become incompatible with each other." At the family meeting. Scrooge said this to Carroll and John Rockefeller.

"John, in the next step, Dorothea will sell you a part of the oil field as a sign that Dorothea is working with you to deal with Carol. I think at this time, Morgan’s old fox will probably be unable to sink. It’s time to join in. Most of the companies in our hands have good debt problems and good sales. Moreover, our own capital accounts for more than half of their shares. Therefore, in theory, it is difficult for such companies to use general These companies’ stocks do not exist in the stock market. Second, our capital chain is not particularly dependent on finance, and most of them are done by relying on our own banks." Gao Zhi continued to arrange his plan.

"So we have to help Morgan and create some problems so that he can take advantage of it?" Dorothea said.

"Dorothea, after you transferred a part of the oil field to John, then let out the rumors, saying that the reason you did this was because the McDonald Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company encountered problems in the development of new drugs. We are developing the next generation of sulfonamides. When it came time to produce the product, the money spent far exceeded the budget. Nowadays, without the guidance of a big scientist like me, the whole plan will naturally encounter big problems. You want this plan to continue, but Carol opposes it. , I think that without me, this plan is almost impossible to complete, anyway, it is to convince them that we have invested as many as millions of dollars in this plan, which may make our capital chain problem appear.

Then, Morgan would naturally attack our bank first. I guess Morgan would do this. First of all, he will use some of the newspapers he manipulates to exaggerate the problems we are facing, and will start to restrict his banking alliance and McDonald's venture capital business dealings, in order to completely cut off our capital chain. At the same time he will try to pull one faction against each other. Trying to win over John and Dorothea, or Carol, one of you. I personally estimate that his chances of choosing to win Carol are higher. Because he will think you are easier to deal with than John. "

"This is not what he thought, but the fact." Carol said with a smile, "I can't compare to John."

"Carol, you are too modest." Rockefeller said quickly.

"Carol, remember that if Morgan wants to win you over, you have to appear hesitant, and you have to be extra cautious and stubborn with some of Morgan's actions. Make him think you will miss the chance because of your caution. In this way he You will work to separate the union between John you and Dorothea." Scrooge continued, "At this time, Dorothea, you will start attacking Morgan in the media, accusing Morgan of being behind the assassination. , Um, although we don’t have any evidence in this regard, we just say that the woman named DuPont used to be on Morgan’s Viking under a false identity. She was Morgan’s mistress or something. Anyway, the public likes the excitement. As for the truth or something, who cares? Then he is exposing his use of financial means to crack down on McDonald's venture capital. And this way, he will be considered because I am not here, so Dorothea is confused. Most of this time, the media in his hand will fight back vigorously. At this time, the media we arranged will start to pour dirty water on me. Then, Dorothea, you will pretend to be irritated and start using violent means. Fight back. Morgan also has such power in his hands, and he will not use such power. Then we will start a new civil war and deal with other guys who dare to covet our wealth."

"So how do we end up?" Rockefeller asked.

"When the situation becomes uncontrollable, I wake up from a coma, and then negotiate with the other side through the United States government. By that time, everyone will understand how destructive we are, so that we can probably build a new capacity. A balance that all parties reluctantly accept." Scrooge replied.
