Hong Kong Films: Starting from Hiring Heaven to Keep Healthy

It's so arrogant!

Know what you are most afraid of!

Antitrust! !

Anti-monopoly, even consortiums, will change their colors when they hear about it!

Tang Weiwei exclaimed in her heart, she had unintentionally understood before:

"Standard Oil dominates the entire meter.

The film and television universe does not count years.

The second industrial revolution started, electric power, chemical industry, automobile,

New industries such as oil began to flourish.

Among them, petroleum, which is the basic energy source of various industries,

became the top priority.

The film and television universe does not count years,

Rockefeller founded in Ohio,

The most powerful monopoly ever, Standard Oil.

Standard Oil, which means "standard products" that customers can trust.

Nine years later, Standard Corporation controlled 9% of the oil refining industry in the world.

Since the history of Mi G, there has never been a company that can dominate the market like this.

With the increase in market share,

Various modes of operation of Rockefeller were also exposed,

Such as price competition, bribing politicians, threatening railway operators,

Cut off the necessary consumables

(such as oil tank trucks, oil barrels, oil pipes),

Acquisition of bankrupt companies and more.

In addition to these "attack" methods,

Rockefeller also often proposed settlements after defeating opponents,

He will offer a price much higher than the market price to acquire the other party,

If the other party refuses,

He forced the other party to go bankrupt and grab the assets at a low auction price.

This kind of coercion and temptation made many rising stars passively compromise.

While Rockefeller was standing tall in the business and political circles,

A female reporter named Ida Tarbell appears.

Tarbell spent his childhood in the oil fields,

Experienced the pain of his father's business being forcibly merged by Rockefeller.

She serialized an 800-page investigative report in the magazine,

Position Rockefeller as a bloodthirsty, ruthless oil oligarchy.

Her investigations fueled public attacks on Standard Oil and all monopolies,

received strong public support.

At that time, it was the MiG labor resistance movement,

Sherman, who later became the military minister of MiG,

Said in Congress:

"If we do not submit to an emperor,

We should not submit to a trade dictator with the power to prevent competition and the power to set prices. "

And introduced the antitrust bill.The film and television universe does not count years,

The Sherman Antitrust Act was also introduced.

With the foundation of public opinion and the legal framework, it is time to wait for the advancement of powerful figures.

Decades later, Theodore Roosevelt took office,

..

Become the President of Mi G.

he waved antitrust

(Trust, credit union, often used to refer to monopoly)

Hit hard with a big stick,

The Beef Trust was dissolved one after another,

Tobacco Trust, etc.,

He was given the nickname "Trust Blaster".

He certainly didn't intend to let go of Standard Oil.

Afterwards, the Mi G Supreme Court ruled,

Pursuant to the Sherman Antitrust Act,

Standard Oil is a monopoly and should be broken up.

According to this judgment, Standard Oil was split into 34 regional oil companies.

After that, the global oil industry is no longer dominated by one company,

And formed by Standard Oil of New Jersey, Anglo-Dutch Shell, British Petroleum,

Standard Oil of the Big Apple, Texaco, Standard Oil of California,

Gulf oil and other "Seven Sisters" (SevenSisters) control the situation.

Over the past century, the "Seven Sisters" has further evolved into the current Shell,

The four giants of British Oil, Exxon Mobil and Chevron,

It is also difficult for Standard Oil to dominate the situation again. "

Everyone exclaimed in their hearts!

You must know that this is something that the consortium cannot avoid.

Stronger than Rockefeller as well!

look at this!

What the hell!

Really are!

Not just Rockefeller.

Even Morgan!

　"[-]" During the rise of Standard Oil,

Another monopoly company, Morgan & Co., rose on the land of MIG.

In the era when the US Federal Reserve had not yet been born,

Private banker John Pierpont Morgan,

Almost one person took on the responsibility of saving the entire market.

This is a really awesome person!

Love is the same!

The film and television universe has just begun regardless of the century,

The power generation of MiG has doubled in 5 years,

Railways began to be built on a large scale.

Demand for steel rails soared,

Steam locomotives, carriages, etc. are also booming.

The development of these heavy industries,

spawned a thirst for funds,

The business volume of financial institutions such as trust companies is also climbing wildly.
