1855 United States Tycoon

Chapter 94-Clark’s Second Chance

In August 1860, just as the election campaign was in full swing, Clark was extremely rarely invited by Scrooge. Compared with Scrooge’s current net worth, the Clark-Macdonald-Rockefeller company he was involved in when he started his business is too small and inconspicuous. Not to mention Scrooge, even Rockefeller also has a stake in McDonald’s Infantry Weapons Company and the high salary he received from the senior management of Blackwater and McDonald’s Chemical and Pharmaceutical Company. Not very caring. So now in this company, Clarke has become quite the person who made the decision for Nine Cauldrons. However, the former partner who had been watching him is now Fei Huang Tengda, but he is still a small boss. If Clark has no idea, I am afraid he doesn’t believe it himself.

This morning, someone came to tell him that Mr. MacDonald missed him very much, but was too busy to spare time to visit him. Mr. MacDonald wants to know if he has time recently. If he has time, Mr. MacDonald hopes she can take time to visit the McDonald Infantry Weapons Company. He needs to talk to him about some business matters.

No one knows what Clark thought when he got the news. He was once an equal business partner, but now he can greet him in a nearly summoned way. However, Clark did not show any dissatisfaction. In fact, at present, how many businessmen are lining up to see Mr. MacDonald can’t see him. What’s more, Mr. MacDonald said that he had business talks with him. You know, in the eyes of the businessmen in Cleveland, Mr. MacDonald is simply the incarnation of the god of wealth. Starting from scratch three years ago, in just three years, he became a rich man with a net worth of over 10 million. And his wealth is still ascending at an astonishing speed. Businessmen believe that as long as they can hug Mr. Macdonald’s thigh, they will be able to make a fortune. Among other things, isn’t Mr. Rockefeller a role model? Only Clark became the laughing stock of others. Even his family blamed him from time to time for not holding Mr. MacDonald’s thigh. Moreover, not only his family, but also himself, after seeing Scrooge’s continuous fortune over the years, why not regret it? Yes, a golden thigh once appeared in front of him, but he didn’t hold it, and he couldn’t regret it until the golden thigh stepped away. The greatest pain in life is nothing more than this. Sometimes, when sleeping in bed at night, Clark would also think that if God gives him another chance, he must hold this thigh tightly and never let go! If he wants to impose a limit on the time he can hold his thigh, he hopes it will last a lifetime.

Now that God kindly sent such a thigh to him again, what other thoughts could he have? Face problem? How much is Face worth? It’s like playing in the China National Men’s Football Team is definitely a matter of having no face being scolded every day, but considering the money they get and willing to take their place, the people all over the country will be scolded by more people. NS

Therefore, Mr. Clark said that he is available at all times. As long as Mr. MacDonald is free, he is not a problem anytime.

On the agreed day, Clark woke up before the day lighted up. He put on the most formal clothes and tidyed his own hair and beard over and over again in front of the mirror until his wife could not pick up any problems. . Then as soon as the Macdonald Infantry Weapons Company opened its doors, he walked in.

However, the maid responsible for the reception task told him that Mr. MacDonald had not come to work yet. And there are still several hours before the agreed time. If he has something to do, he can go to his own business first. If he is willing to wait, well, then he can wait in the small lounge over there.

The small lounge is on the second floor. From its window facing the street, you can just see the company’s door. Clark sat down on a chair in the small lounge. At this time, another maid graciously poured him a cup of Ceylon black tea and brought a small plate of fruit.

“This is really the style of a big company!” Clark sighed secretly. At the same time, I made another determination in my heart, this time I must hug this thigh!

I don’t know how long I have been waiting, anyway, the maid has already come to add water to him several times. Clark put down the cup, stood up and walked around in the small lounge. When he reached the door, he saw a group of carriages coming from a distance, and finally stopped at the door of the company.

From the carriage behind the front and back, some tall bodyguards got off first. They came to a carriage that looked no different from other carriages. Then it seemed that someone got out of the carriage, and then those people crowded around. He walked in.

“This must be Mr. MacDonald.” Clark’s heart jumped.

It was indeed Scrooge who came, and after entering the door, someone told him what Clark was waiting for him here. So when Scrooge went to Own’s office, he deliberately passed by from the small lounge, opened the door, and said hello to Mr. Clark.

“Mr. Clark, you have been waiting for a long time.”

“No, no, I just arrived.” Clark said hurriedly.

“I’m sorry, there is still a big customer waiting for me, so you may have to wait a little longer…” Scrooge was embarrassed.

“Ah, it’s okay, Mr. MacDonald, are you busy with you.” Clark said quickly.

“Then I’ll be out of company first.” Scrooge nodded politely, and then said to the maid: “Anna Big sis, you help me take care of Mr. Clark, he is my old friend.” Then he laughed again. He smiled, turned and left.

At this time, a major customer is waiting for him. This big customer is the guy who claims to be Italian Robert Ferrari. Although Scrooge knew that this guy was not an Italian at all, he was just a broker buying weapons for the South, but Scrooge pretended not to know this and continued to trade with him; and that “Robert “Ferrari” naturally knew that Scrooge made his fortune in Sardinia, and he also knew that Scrooge knew he was not an Italian, but he also pretended not to know that Scrooge already knew his details, and continued to be an Italian. Purchased weapons from Scrooge. Anyway, whether it is in the South or the North, everyone uses the same dollar.

This time, the Mr. Ferrari seemed a little anxious. He strongly requested that Scrooge made his order the top priority. For this reason, he is even willing to make a little concession on the price. Of course, Scrooge would not refuse the good things sent in this way, so they quickly reached an agreement on the sale of a new batch of 10,000 Macdonald 1857 rifles and a batch of “Daily Pills”.

After sending off Mr. Ferrari, it was almost noon, and Scrooge went directly to the small lounge. Pushed the door open and saw Clark pacing around the room boredly. Hearing the sound of the door, Clark turned his head and saw that it was Scrooge, and he immediately smiled with joy.

“Mr. MacDonald, are you finished?”

“Mr. Clark, I’m sorry to keep you waiting.” Scrooge said.

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Clark said quickly. He looked at Scrooge, smiling so that every pore on his face was blooming.

Scrooge sat down on the sofa, and Clark quickly sat aside.

“Mr. MacDonald, what can I do for you?” Clark asked.

“Oh, Mr. Clark, you should call me Scrooge as before.” Scrooge said, “you know, the war I expected is imminent. When a war is fought, the army will need rations. I think There is a big deal to do here. So I plan to establish a new company, specialize in this, and make a fortune. But you know, I have so many things now, I already have three companies in my hands, Carlo I have gone to Europe. Now I and John are the only two people who are so busy to start a new company. I really don’t care about my energy.”

“You are really busy,” Clark flattered. “But people don’t have the chance to be as busy as you.”

“Recently, a new kind of canned meat was developed in my laboratory. I named it Spam. You know, soldiers need to be ingested every day to maintain combat effectiveness in high-intensity combat. Enough protein. But there is no way to provide them with fresh meat on the battlefield. All they can eat is dried bacon. These things are dry and hard, which is inconvenient to handle and difficult to digest. In addition, the price is also high. Not cheap. Our canned luncheon meat is not only convenient to store, but also ready to be eaten when opened. It can be eaten cold or hot, and it can even be automatically heated. The nutritious taste and everything are stronger than dried bacon, and the price is better. Bacon is cheap. In this war, it can certainly become the main food of the United States army. This is a big deal. I plan to invest 300,000 US dollars to build a feed processing plant, pig farms and A meat production, supply and marketing company in a cannery. If you are interested, Mr. Clark, you can sell the company you are holding and buy a share in our new company. By the way, help me manage the daily affairs of this company. You How does it look?” Scrooge said.

“What you said is true? Mr. MacDonald?” Clark stood up and fixed his eyes on Scrooge as if he were made of gold. “Thank you very much, Mr. MacDonald. Thank you for giving me such an opportunity. On behalf of my family, on behalf of my wife Lisa, and my son George, thank you!”

“Ah.” Scrooge also stood up, “No need to, everyone is old friends, right? Oh, yes, John and I still have some shares in your company. You sell the company. Then, according to the share, give him the share of John. My share is the first commission for hiring you but the general manager.”

“How can it be done? It’s your money. I will calculate every cent with you. Mr. MacDonald, this is my principle of doing business for so many years. You treat me as a friend, so how can I let you? Lose it?” Clark said sternly, as if Scrooge didn’t agree to him. But in his heart, he was thinking like this: “Any boss, I hope that the fellow with own is not a person who likes to take advantage of small gains.”
