1855 United States Tycoon

Chapter 371: Conversation

“What is Scrooge’s ultimate goal? Isn’t it to make money? He dug such a big pit and pitted us millions of dollars at once. Isn’t that enough?” a banker asked .

“Don’t worry about his ultimate goal, first consider how to reduce losses.” More people said.

“Scrooge arranged to’wake up’ at this time, so that everyone has time to know the news and make preparations to sell General Motors stock early tomorrow morning?” Morgan said, “but This also gives us an opportunity-we still have time to make a decision, although time is limited. First of all, we can speak out that the McDonald Consortium intends to acquire General Motors. I think this is not even a rumor. Yes, because if I were Scrooge, I would definitely want to buy GM at the lowest price when GM’s stock fell into a mess. So this news, I believe many people will believe it. That way. As a result, GM’s stock is not worthless. Therefore, some fools with illusions will naturally move a little bit slower. If we can cooperate with each other and make one or two rebounds, there will naturally be more The fool believes that this is the McDonald Consortium quietly buying GM stock. Maybe they will think about buying a little more, and then they can follow the McDonald Consortium to make some money. We can take advantage of this. Opportunity, to polish all the GM stocks in our hands. Although this will not change our serious losses as a whole, it should still slightly reduce losses.”

“This is indeed a way.” said a banker. “We will now let people publish articles in the newspaper, and move fast!”

“Besides, I plan to go to McDonald’s house immediately to see Scrooge.” Morgan said.

“Mr. Morgan, is this useful?” a banker asked.

“In any case, it is always useful to have a little bit of understanding. Moreover, Scrooge should also understand that this strike alone cannot really defeat us. The losses that this can cause to us will not cause us to die, in that case. Naturally there are many things worth talking about.” Morgan replied.

…

Scrooge worked all day in Cleveland. He just “woke up” and went to attend the new car show held by Volkswagen in Cleveland. Of course, because he just woke up, his body has not fully recovered. He simply showed up and went back to the hospital.

Scrooge intends to stay in the hospital for a while. Since you want to act, you have to act a full set. Scrooge intends to accept one or two interviews with reporters every day for the past few days. By the way, publicize his miraculous waking story that is enough to be written into various middle and elementary school textbooks or various spiritual chicken soups.

To say that the efficiency of the media in modern society is really high enough. As soon as Scrooge returned to the hospital, someone on the back hand sent the extra number from today’s newspaper to Scrooge’s hands.

“It’s really fast,” Scrooge sighed. I couldn’t help but think of the story of the earthquake and tsunami in a certain island country in later generations. There was half an hour between the earthquake and the tsunami. In this half an hour, media such as TV stations have arranged helicopters, installed camera equipment, flew to the coast, and began to broadcast live broadcast of the tsunami. It is said that there are sufficient funds and well-trained self-defense (comfort) teams. A fighter jet worth more than 100 million U.S. dollars, and a military helicopter worth tens of millions of U.S. dollars spent half an hour but failed to fly, and was directly destroyed by the tsunami. It can be seen that in many cases, the response of the media, which takes news as its mission, can indeed be faster than that of the military.

Scrooge was most concerned about how the media controlled by the Morgan Consortium reported the news.

“Mr. Scrooge McDonald’s’just in time’ waking up, in a sense, saved the McDonald’s consortium. Now, whether it is his wife Dorothea or his brother Carol, All must succumb to his will. This is not only because of Mr. Scrooge McDonald’s great prestige, but also because Scrooge’s leadership is very beneficial to the interests of all people in the family. The Macdonald family that had been splitting up because of the loss of him would be stabilized again. Those who wanted to take advantage of Scrooge’s coma and cut a piece of meat from the Macdonald Consortium wanted Attention, they will soon be out of luck.

The most dangerous thing here is undoubtedly ‘General Motors’. Almost everyone was optimistic about it, believing that it will have a great future. But now that Scrooge is back, the split McDonald’s consortium is reunified, and Volkswagen can get the support of a series of family businesses including large laboratories, Standard Oil, and McDonald Steel. . Although GM clearly stipulated in the contract signed with McDonald Steel that the price of steel sold by McDonald Steel to GM should be lower than the price sold to’Volkswagen’, but now McDonald Steel and Volkswagen has become a whole again. Under these conditions, the profitability of McDonald Steel is the profitability of Volkswagen. Even Volkswagen needs to buy steel at a high price from McDonald Steel. This high price is only the significance of the accounts. Because in a blink of an eye, MacDonald can use the money as an investment or return it to Volkswagen. In addition, the new car exhibited by Volkswagen today is indeed very good. The only problem with it is how reliable it is under the premise of using so many new technologies. But with the return of Scrooge, the problem of technology is no longer a problem. With the large laboratory under the leadership of Scrooge, what other problems can’t be solved?

Under these conditions, GM’s failure is almost predictable. Its future is almost certain, that it was acquired by the McDonald Consortium after the stock plummeted. At present, the dominant McDonald consortium should be able to acquire General Motors, which owns three manufacturing plants, at a fairly cost-effective price. This will be easier and cheaper than building three plants on its own. From this perspective, GM’s stock is not worthless. If you start a little when the price is low enough, you might be able to make some fortune with Mr. Scrooge McDonald…”

“Look at this report.” Scrooge smiled and handed the report to Carol, and exclaimed: “Morgan is really an amazing guy. He responded so quickly. Look at this article. On the surface It’s all saying that GM is no longer good, but in fact they are constantly fooling those who hold GM shares into believing that we will buy GM and that GM has value.”

“However, it’s not bad to buy these factories at a low price,” Carroll said.

“If possible, I really want to let General Motors stock fall directly to

“If possible, I really want to let General Motors stock fall directly to $0.” Scrooge said, “Let Morgan and the others can’t get out a penny. In this way, they will not have the strength to look for it for a long time. We are in trouble. But now, even if we claim that we have no intention of buying GM, no one will believe it. Instead, they will think that we are emitting smoke. Therefore, they will still run out for a lot of money. .it’s a pity.”

But now, even if we claim that we have no intention of buying GM, no one will believe it. Instead, they will think that we are emitting smoke.

“However, this blow should be able to deter a lot of people.” Dorothea said, “Next, how do we perform related contractions?””Well about this matter, just wait for Mr. Morgan to come and talk to him again.” Scrooge said with a smile.

…

As Scrooge predicted, through such struggles, the Morgan Consortium managed to escape some money. Of course, heavy losses were inevitable. After a few days, Morgan finally met Scrooge, and they had the most frank conversation between them.

“Scrooge, I don’t think we need to tell any lies between the two of us.” Morgan said to Scrooge, Scrooge could hear Morgan’s voice trembling a little. Obviously, Morgan may be preparing to make the most fundamental decision-whether to make a decisive battle with the McDonald consortium under the leadership of Scrooge.

“Well, what do you want to know?” Scrooge asked.

“You weren’t in a coma at all, did you? You have been controlling everything behind the scenes all this time. What is your purpose for doing this? Don’t tell me to make money. You pretended to be in a coma during this time financially. The loss paid is definitely greater than the three factories. In fact, although you have made us lose a lot this time. It is not only a direct loss of money, but also a loss of reputation. Reputation in business You must also know the importance of bankers. But you did not get enough benefits yourself. To be honest, one of the important reasons I was deceived this time is also here. Because I didn’t expect that you would do such a detriment. Self-interest, even a means of hurting yourself first and then hurting others. So I really want to know, why are you doing this?”

“Because in the attack, I discovered the weakness of own. I want to make up for this weakness.” Scrooge replied frankly, “For example, if you suddenly take out a pistol and kill it. If you put it before I cheat you, after I die, there will be countless guys rushing to rip off a piece of meat from the McDonald Consortium. In this case, McDonald How long can it last? Since such a big benefit can be obtained by doing this, there must be a lot of people taking risks for this. But now? Even if I really die? How many people still dare to believe that I am really dead. So? So, the Macdonald Consortium can get breathing time under such circumstances. Since I can’t get much benefit from killing me at once, my safety is naturally ascending. As for why I need to To pit you, first, that is because you came here by yourself. Of course, this is not important. The most important thing is that you are the most capable of killing the Macdonald Consortium when there are dangerous situations. The power of you. If you don’t pit you, who will it pit?”
