Opening game, American Tycoon

Is this bait?
No!

It's a fatal temptation!

If you are not careful, you will lose your life, and even the wealth that the Si family has accumulated over the years!
Divide the Imperial Railways!

If you say this, how many people dare to believe it?

No one dares to believe it at all, because it is a huge enterprise with millions of employees, hundreds of thousands of kilometers of railways.

The Imperial Railway Company is the largest monopoly in the empire. It owns not only railways, but also a large amount of commercial real estate. It even owns its own airlines, shipping companies, banks, supermarkets, manufacturing companies, metallurgical mining companies, and Oil companies.

Not only that, Imperial Railway Company is also the actual controlling shareholder of the Mexican Railway Company through overseas investments, is the second largest shareholder of China National Railway, and also has large investments in Rome, Russia and other countries.It can be said that the Imperial Railway Company is the monopoly enterprise with the most complex structure in the empire. This enterprise is definitely a giant among the state-owned enterprises in the empire. Even if it is split up, it will not be able to divide it.

This is absolutely wishful thinking.

Although Sxingde did not speak, the disdain on his face was still revealed undisguisedly, because he knew very well how huge the influence of the Imperial Railway Company, a former "national enterprise", was.

Divide him?
is it possible?
Seeing the disdain on his face, Xu Zili raised the corners of his lips and said.

"You must think that all this is impossible. After all, the Imperial Railway is too huge, but in fact, the Imperial Railway is just a giant with clay feet!"

Picking up the tea cup on the dining table, Xu Zili took a sip of tea. The tea was ordinary oolong tea, produced in his own tea farm in the Andes Mountains. There was not much story, but as we all know, its quality was definitely not inferior to that of his hometown in China.To a certain extent, Imperial Tea Garden is not good at telling stories, but better at improving their quality.

"There are actually many factions among this clay-footed giant. The transportation faction has the largest number of people, the banking faction and oil faction have the most profits, there are also the management faction, the enterprise faction, etc. The formation and development of each faction is based on their own commonality. Forged by interests. Over the years, various factions within the Imperial Railway Company have focused on whether to disband or not, and can be divided into two parts: those who support the privatization of the Imperial Railways and those who support the nationalization of the Imperial Railways. Between these two seemingly clear distinctions Among the factions, there are relatively small factions, and their specific interests have even smaller differences in detail."

Schingde is no stranger to the factions within the Imperial Railway mentioned by Xu Zili, because even in California there are great differences among corporate factions, because the profits of oil companies and banks are very large.As the fundamental transportation faction of the Imperial Railway, profits are very limited. Even the transportation faction is divided into the rail faction, the aviation faction, and the maritime faction. The huge joint venture originally established as a joint venture between land, sea and air has also resulted in profit distribution. There are conflicts among all parties, especially the aviation faction, who believe that rail transportation is a drag on their development.

“It comes down to profit.”

Xu Zili said directly.

"Because rail transportation is loss-making, in order to maintain normal operations of the enterprise, the head office must allocate profits from other branches to make up for the losses of rail transportation. This naturally leads to dissatisfaction among other factions. And this dissatisfaction among the Imperial Railway Company It is widespread... This has led to the Imperial Railway being affected by many factional factors in the process of choosing a path, putting the development of the Imperial Railway Company into a dilemma of choice, and ultimately leading to the stagnation and slowness of the development of the National Railway. The stagnation and slowness of Imperial Railway's development also contributed to the decline of its company's interests and efficiency. It turned the company from a behemoth into a flashy ornament."

"A gaudy ornament" and "a giant with feet of clay" are both descriptions of the huge Imperial Railway Company in newspapers. In fact, the outside world has also noticed the plight of the Imperial Railway Company, a former "national enterprise". In Xu Zili's view, this was his opportunity.

"It is precisely because of this that the division of the Imperial Railway Company has reached an inevitable stage. However, there are many options for the method of division."

"Do you mean to promote privatization during the partition process?"

Si Xingde asked directly.

"Privatization may be the best option."

Xu Zili's answer made Si Xingde stunned. He finally understood what the other party was thinking. Good guy, this guy is really scheming. Although he has always advocated passing on the Imperial Railway Company Split it, improve its efficiency and profits, and get rid of the current stagnation and slow development. But this guy wants to use the split as an opportunity to promote the privatization of the Imperial Railways.What kind of privatization is it here and there? It is clearly a big piece of fat on the dinner plate for everyone to share. As long as they can join in, it can be said that everyone can have a mouth full of fat.

This is an unprecedented feast!

Facing this bait, Si Xingde was immediately moved, but he did not lose his mind because he knew very well how much risk this feast would entail.

After all, everything has two sides, the greater the benefits, the greater the risks.

Similarly, the greater the risk, the greater the return. Of course Si Xingde understands this truth.And his family has made huge profits from huge risks.

"I have to say that Dean Xu's idea is very good, but have you considered another issue? The royal family, is it possible that the royal family will agree?"

Looking at Si Xingde who was excited but worried in front of him, Xu Zili directly stated his plan.

"The royal family may object, but the royal family will never oppose it at the risk of harming its justice. After all, it is well known that reputation is very important to the royal family."

Xu Zili knows very well what he can do and what he will do.

"Reputation? What are you going to do?"

"How?"

Xu Zili sneered.

"As we all know, the capital owned by the royal family is extremely huge, and can even be said to be the richest in the world. Even if the royal family hands over capital to dozens of companies and funds for operation, their wealth is the envy of the outside world. If you look at it from the outside Now, the royal family opposes the privatization of the National Railway just to preserve its property, which will inevitably cause a blow to its reputation. Sometimes, in order to maintain its reputation, it is not impossible for the royal family to make appropriate sacrifices..."

what is this!
This is to seduce the royal family!
According to the law...this is disrespectful!
This guy is too bold!

Perhaps in the Ming Dynasty, the crime of disrespect would not be as frequent as it was in history.But if you are charged with this crime, you will definitely be severely punished, and you will even be blocked by the business community.And this kind of blocking is still proactive.

After all, no one is willing to take the risk of offending the royal family to help that guy who doesn't know how to respect him. Moreover, in the business world, the influence that the royal family has is unimaginable to outsiders. After all, the largest chaebol in the Ming Dynasty is the royal family.

Hook up the royal family!

Too bad he can think of it.

But if it works, the benefits are unimaginable.

Staring at the thoughtful Si Xingde, Xu Zili asked.

"The only question is, are you willing to get involved?"
