Chapter 535 It’s all for your own good
Morgan Jr. and Rockefeller Jr. had been waiting for a long time, which was normal because they were New York natives. Sheffield was nothing but a redneck from Texas. So he did not show any dissatisfaction with Rockefeller Jr.'s early arrival.
"You've been very busy since we came to New York, taking that Japanese girl around everywhere." Rockefeller Jr. said somewhat impolitely.
When Sheffield heard this, he smiled and reminded Rockefeller Jr. in his words and deeds that no matter how dissatisfied you are, I am actually your brother-in-law, although I am not older than you.
Rockefeller Jr. pretended not to hear such vulgar words. He felt that morally, these two bastards in front of him could not be compared with himself.
Sheffield did not press on the victory. He knew the Rockefeller family's consistent pursuit, which was to make money and use the money to exchange for a long life. As for the rest, they were all unimportant things.
"Don't listen to John. We are more suitable to discuss this topic." Little Morgan said with an inexplicable meaning, indicating that when it comes to the topic of women, the two of us are brothers in the same trench. "What have you been busy with these days? Calculating the profits?"
"That's not the case. I was thinking about making a movie to record in detail the great achievements of the three of us, eradicating a malignant enterprise in the United States and saving the citizens from dire straits." Sheffield answered very seriously, as if he really thought so.
The slave owner wants to learn from a Korean chaebol and appreciate the look of "I know you don't like me, but you can't get rid of me."
"It's better not to let the citizens know about this kind of commercial secrets. It will only cause more trouble if they know." Little Morgan persuaded, "I don't mind if you even make a movie that whitewashes the Civil War, but you still have to be cautious about this matter."
What a coincidence! A movie about the Civil War is being planned. Seeing that Morgan is so interested, the slave owner can consider giving him two movie tickets after the release of The Birth of a Nation.
It is not advisable to talk too much about this topic. In essence, although this is not a big deal as the monopoly bourgeoisie is united, there are still problems with the different basic bases of the two sides.
This problem can be solved. After the Spanish flu occurs, Sheffield can use directional blasting to solve this problem and keep the minority issue within a controllable range.
"Isn't it about time?" Sheffield took out the pocket watch from his pocket and said impatiently.
"You have to bend down to pick up the money? Can't you wait a little longer?" Rockefeller Jr. frowned. The slave owner's eating habits were a bit ugly. Such opportunities would not come many times in a lifetime.
"You can't say that. Picking up money is picking up money, and robbery is robbery." Sheffield stretched out a finger and shook it. "These are completely different. Although we can use rhetoric to announce that we can help the DuPont family tide over the difficulties by injecting capital, the inside story cannot be hidden from everyone."
I just don't know how the DuPont family will react in the end. Will they be like Samsung and Hyundai, who are very reasonable? Or will they be like Daewoo, who is stubborn and goes against the general public?
Sheffield's eagerness made Morgan feel helpless. "You can't make money this way. William, you are too impatient. It's as if you want to make all the money by yourself."
"Don't say that. You can only think about it when you are dreaming." Sheffield pointed at Morgan Jr. and said, "I haven't become so arrogant yet. How can one or two companies take all the benefits of such a big country? They will be so full that they will die. So I have always respected you two very much, even though I don't like bankers and I also look down on John's conservative style. I guess you also think the same of me. It doesn't matter. Everyone shares the benefits, don't you think?"
I think they really thought about it, and even the slave owners were ready to try it. But this problem cannot be admitted.
"You are really amazingly honest!" Little Morgan laughed helplessly, "By the way, it seems that someone calls you Honest William."
"It's just a bunch of small companies in the South that are chasing after this big tree." Rockefeller Jr. said sarcastically, "This world is so strange. They can't control their foul mouths, but they can be praised as honest."
When Coleman Dupont and Pierre Dupont pushed the door open, they couldn't believe their eyes. The three most powerful but least likely business owners were actually in the same office. And they were not surprised at their arrival.
The word betrayal suddenly appeared in the minds of the two people, and they were stunned. Little Morgan was the first to react, and said with a gentle smile, "Oh, my two friends, you are finally here. Don't stand there, we have something very important to discuss right away."
Being able to smile calmly and invite the other party to go to the operating table by themselves, this is the basic ethics of J.P. Morgan as a banker. Not only do I want to fleece you, but I also want you to thank me.
"Please take a seat!" Sheffield pointed to the two empty seats, not as familiar as Morgan. But he also didn't have the slightest sense of being the instigator, as if everything today had nothing to do with him.
At the beginning, Pierre DuPont and Coleman DuPont thought that this was Morgan Jr., so they used their connections to call Sheffield over. Based on the idea that it is better to resolve a feud than to create one, they tried to reconcile the relationship between the two companies. They even hoped that the United Company would stop and let the DuPont family go.
But they soon realized that this was just their wishful thinking. The meaning behind Morgan's words was obvious. He completely stood on Sheffield's side and completed an elegant turn.
Finally, under the cover of some rhetoric, Morgan Jr. took out the acquisition plan that he had prepared long ago, and explained to the two people one by one who would own the steel, who would own the mining, and who would own the chemical industry. It seemed that he was ready to take over the DuPont family legacy. His true colors were revealed.
"How dare you do this!" Coleman DuPont was furious, his chest heaving. Anyone could tell at a glance that he was furious. "This is blatant robbery. What can you do if I don't sell it to you?"
"Mr. Coleman, how can you say that?" Sheffield said, as if he was the culprit. "Actually, if you think about it the other way around, you will definitely be able to let it go. Just think of it as the Louisiana acquisition happening again, and you will feel more comfortable. It's not like your family has never done this before. During the Louisiana acquisition, you turned the tables and used your identity as a descendant of French immigrants to coerce and bribe your own country to facilitate the acquisition. How come it's your family's turn to face the current situation today, and you can't accept it? This is unfair!"
Isn't it obvious that the slave owner had no scruples about rubbing salt into the hearts of two important figures in the DuPont family? Just think of this as the Louisiana Purchase all over again.
"The three of us have already agreed to this!" Rockefeller Jr. spoke slowly at this time, "Now we just need to wait for your nod to complete the acquisition. In principle, we have already discussed the division of the industry, so I called you here today just to inform you."
"My dear friends, you can't blame me. The DuPont family is in a very bad situation right now, and I have no other choice." Little Morgan said, as if he had no other choice but to do it. "General rescue plans are no longer helpful. Only this method can save the DuPont family from the crisis. This is good for everyone."
"So we have to thank you criminals?" Pierre Dupont gritted his teeth and glared at the three bastards in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "What if I don't agree?"
Sheffield crossed his legs and muttered to himself, "It's not big news that the DuPont family was in deep crisis and two important members couldn't stand the blow and chose to pull the trigger on their own heads. Many people did the same during the financial crisis. Of course, because of the special nature of the DuPont family, I believe this news can occupy the headlines of major newspapers for more than two days. Then you and your family members will be forgotten."
"To be honest, we can still talk now. I personally don't want the three of us to have to talk to the other members of the DuPont family after you two commit suicide. There may be some twists and turns in the process, but the result will not change. If one by one you commit suicide, someone will agree to our acquisition plan in the end. In the end, the DuPont family will complete a successful transformation and will still be a very successful business tycoon in front of the citizen class."
"What William said is too bloody!" Morgan Jr. waved his hand pretentiously, indicating that he disagreed with Sheffield's opinion, and then changed the subject, "I believe that as a very successful entrepreneur, Mr. Coleman and Mr. Pierre are both very smart social elites who can understand our determination to save the DuPont family. Of course, no one wants to end up like this, but the stock market will not lie. We can only choose a good result and a not-so-bad result."
Morgan Jr. started his rhetoric offensive again, beating around the bush, with a tone that said, "I'm doing this for your own good." He broke down the psychological defenses of Pierre Dupont and Coleman Dupont. While he was speaking, he had already taken out a pen and pushed the prepared contract in front of the two men, saying, "Sign it. William, John, and I can jointly guarantee that all hatred and conflicts will disappear in the future."
