1855 United States Tycoon

Chapter 41-New Collaborator

While the security guards of the “Blackwater” company were fighting in the west, in the east, an investor meeting was being held in the Clark-Macdonald-Rockefeller Company.

“Last year, the profit of the entire company that can be used for dividends was 10,000 U.S. dollars.” Clark said, “This is not a lot, but in the current economic situation, the company can still be profitable. I am personally concerned about this situation. Already quite satisfied. Of course…” At this point, Clark smiled, “Compared to our Scrooge, this is already a small amount of money…”

“Speaking of which, I’m going to blame Scrooge.” Rockefeller said, “In the past few months, you have put all your thoughts on the’McDonald’s Infantry Arms Company’ that owns. For our partnership This company is too careless. In the past few months, you have rarely come to the company and have a little indifferent to the company’s affairs. Scrooge if you are not willing to work hard for this company, then you can Give up the own shares; if you think it makes sense to operate this company with us, I hope to see you in the company’s office often in the future.”

Rockefeller paused for a while. He looked at Scrooge and continued: “Scrooge, you are the most talented one of us. I hope you can help us more.”

Scrooge understood that Rockefeller didn’t really want to expel himself from Clark McDonald Rockefeller. He actually hopes that he can support him more in the company. Recently, Rockefeller had conflicts with Clark on some issues. So he needs more support from Scrooge.

Recently, Rockefeller proposed that the company should work hard in the direction of finishing grain products. Rockefeller believes that it is impossible to make a lot of money just to buy and sell food, because the threshold of this kind of business is too low, he has neither too high capital requirements nor insurmountable technology barriers, which also means At any time, anyone with a little capital can enter this business. In this way, this kind of business can never have too high a profit, and it is impossible to really make a lot of money. Therefore, he proposed that there should be no dividends this year, and everyone should use the funds that should have been used for dividends to fine-process food.

Clark is not cold about this. In fact, unlike Rockefeller and Scrooge who want to be super rich, Clark is not a man with such big ambitions. Now that the company can make money, this has already allowed him. Very satisfied, just like any person who is satisfied with the status quo, he instinctively opposes any changes, because he is very worried that any change will lead to the destruction of the status quo that satisfies him.

At the same time, because Scrooge didn’t care about things in the company, he spent most of his time in a company that he owned, which was basically a sole proprietorship, so Clark, who does not currently own a majority stake, basically enjoys it in the company. The power of the majority shareholder with a monopoly has become the real decision maker of the company. Clark is a very contradictory person. Although he doesn’t want to be a super rich like Vanderbilt, he has a very strong desire to control in his own one-acre three-point land. He hopes that this company can follow his ideas and follow his tracks.

When Scrooge joined the company, he hesitated. This hesitation was not all doubts about Scrooge’s ability. It also included Scrooge and Rockefeller wearing a pair of pants to gain control of the company. Worry. Scrooge’s current attitude of being basically indifferent to the company makes Clark very much like it-if every investor is like Scrooge, it would be great.

However, for Rockefeller, Scrooge’s approach is intolerable. Rockefeller does not have two other wholly-owned companies like Scrooge, and his personal equity in Clark McDonald Rockefeller Company does not have Clarke. This makes many of his ideas impossible because of Clark’s opposition. Implement.

“It was very busy a while ago, but now everything is basically on the right track. I think I will have more time to pay attention to our company after one month at the latest.” Scrooge watched. Rockefeller gave a glance and replied.

“That’s great.” Rockefeller said, “I hope you can continue to bring new changes to our company.” He also deliberately said the word “change” very loudly.

Clark frowned. Of course he heard what Rockefeller meant. In terms of relationship, the relationship between Rockefeller and Scrooge is much closer than that between him and Scrooge. At least in Clark’s view, Rockefeller and Scrooge have always worn a pair of trousers. Moreover, the things that Scrooge had done-whether it was buying out food or getting involved in arms-showed that he was a restless guy who likes to change, even if he does not consider his relationship with Rockefeller, Will stand on the side of Rockefeller in the direction of the company’s operations. If this guy really wants to pay more attention to the company, because the combined shares of him and Rockefeller have surpassed him, it almost means that his control of the company is a big problem. Fortunately, there is still a month of buffer time.

“Well, about the company’s financial income and expenditure in one year, I have almost talked about it.” Clark said, “Let’s discuss the company’s development direction next year.” After speaking, he raised his eyes. Looking at Rockefeller and Scrooge.

“I still think we should do something in the fine processing of grain, rather than just do some things that are exactly the same as everyone’s sales.” Rockefeller said.

“So do you have any specific plans?” Scrooge asked.

“Yes.” Rockefeller said, “I investigated the sales of deep-processed food products such as noodles and macaroni in each market every week in Cleveland in the past year. Although it is now during the economic crisis, these hard demands cannot be compressed. Therefore, these companies are still generally profitable. The profitability rate is even slightly higher than ours. The technology barriers and capital barriers of this industry are not high. I think it is profitable to enter this Realm.”

“The profit of this Realm is not much higher than ours. And John, you must know that when you just enter a new Realm, you’d better plan that the profit rate will be lower than that of your peers.” Clark frowned. Tap the end of a pencil lightly on the table top.

“However, Clark, we are different from others. We are a raw material supplier, and we do this by ourselves, and the raw material cost is lower than them.” Rockefeller said.

“If we do the transportation and retailing by ourselves, can we make more money?” Clark said with a hint of irony.

“Of course, in the days to come, complex large companies will crush individual small companies like road rollers.” Rockefeller said firmly, “If we don’t want to be crushed to pieces, we must keep up with the times.”

“So? It takes more investment to enter this Realm. Do you have so much money?” Clark asked.

This question hit Rockefeller’s vital point. Rockefeller did not have enough money. He had to raise his eyes to look at Scrooge.

“John, don’t look at me. At least for these two months, I absolutely have no money to invest in this direction. But if you can wait two months, Blackwater can basically rely on its own profit. It has been maintained, and the most expensive renovations at the gun factory have almost been completed. At that time, I will probably be able to invest money in.” Scrooge said.

“There are many changes in the business field. After a few months, maybe you have something new to spend money?” Clark said, “Scrooge, you have to know,’How thick a snake is, there will be holes. How old’. Oh, yes, you taught me this sentence. I don’t expect you to have more money that you have nowhere to spend.”

“Even if there is no new capital investment, as long as we give up this dividend, the funds used for the dividend will be used as…” Rockefeller insisted.

“The funds left by the company to deal with emergencies are too small. This is too risky. I can’t agree. But don’t worry, John, we have a workaround.” Clark said.

Clark would actually come up with a flexible way to solve the funding problem, which was a big surprise to Rockefeller and Scrooge. Doesn’t he know that if this problem is solved, Scrooge will almost certainly support Rockefeller’s plan, and then the company will start changes that he doesn’t like?

“Maybe we can bring in another collaborator. I have a friend named Gardner. He happens to have some spare money and wants to invest…” Clark continued.

“So that’s it!” Scrooge understood at once. Clark’s sex drug pulled in a new shareholder. Since this person was with Clark, he would naturally be more inclined to Clark. In this way, Clark’s side. His equity will exceed that of himself and Rockefeller, so that he can continue to control the company. So Scrooge raised his eyes, looked at Rockefeller, and saw that Rockefeller was also looking at him. The corner of his mouth also had a smile with a sarcastic taste, and obviously, he immediately understood Karak’s intentions.

But Scrooge was not prepared to stop his move. If this friend would be easily influenced by Clark, then he would be influenced by himself and Rockefeller as well. If not, then his friend would naturally be owned by then. Interest plan. The final result may not be in line with Clark’s wishes.
