All Heavens Film and Television: Starting from Caring for the Widow of a Comrade-in-arms

"Haha... You really dare to spend your money, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to fight?"

"I observed it when I left France. The atmosphere in Europe is very strange. There must be a war. It is only a matter of time before something breaks out."

Astor heard the words and said: "You are right, now the Eastern Front of Europe has become the main battlefield, the German army and Tsarist Russia are fighting fiercely, but winter is about to enter, they must be short of food and weapons and ammunition, we can't make weapons For ammunition, we can only do some grain business.”

"I have cooperated with Isidor, Guggenheim, and about 20 people. We will use [-] ships to transport food to Europe for sale. Do you want to go with us?"

Russell said with a smile: "Mr. Astor, I'm just a student now, how about you do it for me?"

"I won't go... Isidor and I are both old, let others go. But this matter must give the guarantor a little profit, otherwise the other party will not care if something goes wrong."

"Who is the guarantor?"

"Morgan."

Russell said with a smile: "Morgan's son Bob and I are classmates and have a very good relationship. I agree."

"You and his son are classmates? Oh, what a coincidence. Just don't worry, the person who told you will deliver the cargo to Pier 51 tomorrow. We have booked this terminal, and we will ship it here if there is any cargo. It will take about 20 days to get the money back, is there any problem?"

"No problem! Thanks a lot."

"You're welcome, we'll be talking when you come to New York."

"Ok."

Chapter 118 Sentence him to 30 years in prison!graduation, kid

In May 1916, Russell officially graduated from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.

He did not choose to go back to New York directly, but stayed in Philadelphia for half a month.

Because of studying in the past few years, I have made many friends, including Bob, several children of the Zhengzhi family, and children of the Wall Street financial family.

Although he has graduated, the relationship cannot be let go. Since Russell is the eldest brother in the class and the number one self-employed person, he invited more than a dozen classmates to play in Philadelphia for a few days.

After sending his classmates away, Russell turned around and came to the steel company.

Thomas Tai stood at the door and opened the car door for Russell. This act was to tell the people in the company that the real boss is coming, and you all have to be careful.

Russell did not hold a high-level meeting immediately, but checked the ledger first.

In the past few years, Thomas Tai has reported the company's financial affairs to Russell every quarter, and he has memorized it by heart. When he looked through the books, Thomas Tai's expression was very flat, and he did not reveal any clues.

It seems that he did not take bribes... Russell quickly counted the profit points after looking through the ledger.

It has been three and a half years since Russell took over the steel company. The profit output in the first two years was not high. Later, Russell asked Thomas Tai to recruit scientific researchers with high salaries and set up a research and development department and a sales department. This improved the profit.

Excluding employee salaries, public relations expenses, traveling expenses, etc., the net profit that entered Russell's pocket reached 760 million US dollars!

In the past 16 months of 5, the gross profit reached 520 million and the net profit was 230 million.

Because the money required for scientific research is too much, many people in the company want to withdraw the R&D department.

Russell only told them one sentence, now is the industrial age, if you don't develop industry, don't walk in the forefront of industry, you will only have the fate of being eliminated!

If anyone dares to mention the removal of the R&D department again, he will remove them first!

Two years ago, the workers in the steel factory were very dissatisfied with their wages and almost went on strike for this reason.

When Thomas Tai informed Russell, he immediately removed the executive manager of the steel company, and then replaced him with someone who was very capable of management and set three standards for the workers when he came to power.

First, commute to and from get off work on time.

Second, there are performance bonuses for overtime work.

Third, re-arrange the company's rules and regulations, and everyone must strictly follow the rules and regulations, and immediately clear away any violations.

Even if you want to go to the court to appeal, you can't find the door, why?

Because compliance with the rules and regulations has been written into the labor contract, the company will dismiss you if you violate the contract first, which is very reasonable.

And Thomas Tai also became the deputy general manager of the company from the head of security, and also took charge of the work of the security department and the factory canteen.

He was very grateful to Russell and wished to give his life to him.If Russell hadn't spared his life and given him a great opportunity, would he have transformed from a hooligan into a well-known person in Philadelphia?

Thomas Tai is not high class, but at least he is not the bottom class. His current position is almost the upper middle class.

"Tell them to wait for me in the conference room."

"Yes!"

Thomas Tai immediately responded when he heard the words, it was really comfortable to work under the boss, as long as he obeyed the orders, he basically didn't need him for the rest.

He called the high-level executives into the conference room, and everyone whispered to each other.

Thomas Tai went back and asked the boss to come over. As soon as he entered the corridor, he heard the noise in the conference room.

Looking back at the boss's expression, Thomas Tai immediately took two steps forward.

Pushing open the door of the meeting room, he said in a deep voice, "Do you want to die? Did you show your face? The boss is right outside the door, won't you be quiet?"

Suddenly, everyone in the conference room turned to look at Thomas Tai, swallowing nervously.

It's not that I'm afraid of Thomas Tai, but the boss behind it.

Three years ago, the company was in the hands of the Hockley family, one of the top five families in Philadelphia. Then the Hockley family disappeared from Philadelphia, and even those executives gradually faded out of public view over time.

However, those who are interested have investigated and found that those executives who originally owned shares in the company all withdrew from the company's shareholders' meeting. After they left the company, they died within three months at the longest, and only three days at the shortest.

The methods of death are also different, some people died by drowning, some committed suicide by swallowing a gun, and some were killed by a car...

Therefore, current company executives are very afraid of bosses they have never met.

Russell walked into the conference room slowly, looking up at everyone.

The executives were also shocked, and they opened their mouths wide and looked at him in disbelief. They never expected that the legendary 'Mr. Walker' would be so young!

When the Titanic sank, he was probably only in his twenties, which was the time when he was young and promising.

"boss!"

The crowd shouted in unison.

Russell nodded and took the main seat when Thomas Tai pulled out the chair.

He lit a cigarette, turned to look at the acquaintance, and said, "Laimai?"

Lai Mai immediately got up and bowed his head, "Boss!"

"You did very well."

"thank you boss."

Two years ago, in order to expand the steel market, Russell transferred Lemay from New York and asked him to set up a sales department.

Laimai is very talkative. The transportation company under Tommy is doing marketing work. After he came to Philadelphia, he not only completed the sales department, but also reached cooperation with many construction companies in Philadelphia, adding a lot of performance to the steel company. .

"I only have two things to do when I come to the company. First, find out who has stolen my money. Second, the steel company wants to expand its scale and open a branch factory in New York."

"Public relations manager Yosel, you have used my money to raise college students all these years, are you living comfortably?"

Yosel, who was sitting in the corner of the meeting room with his head bowed, trembled in fright when he heard these words.

Immediately afterwards, he heard footsteps getting closer and closer to him, and Thomas Tai walked over with his eyes wide open, grabbed his neck, and dragged him off the seat.

"Are you fucking greedy for money under my nose?"

Russell tapped the table with his fingers, frowned and said, "This is a company, not a street! Attitude, pay attention to your attitude, Thomas Tai."

"Yes, boss... I, I will hand him over to the police station and sentence him to 30 years in prison!"

Russell waved his hand: "Get out."

"…OK."

Thomas Tai grabbed Yosel and walked out of the conference room. Yosel didn't dare to refute, because he did raise a few college students outside, and lived a luxurious life with the company's money...

Sentencing him for 30 years is much better than killing him.

With this episode, the high-level executives in the conference room looked at Russell more respectfully.

Immediately, Russell let them talk freely about how to expand the size of the steel company.

The executives also grasped the point, to expand the scale?

Of course, it is not to expand the scale of the company, but to expand the scale of the steel plant and production line!

In this way, there are only two ways. One is to find places with good policies, such as Texas and Ohio... But this also has disadvantages, that is, it consumes time and money.The second is to find abandoned factories that are about to go bankrupt or have already gone bankrupt in several nearby states, which will save time and require less investment.

Russell waved them to do it, and before leaving, he promoted Laimai to serve as the acting head of the public relations department, double the salary, double the quarterly bonus, and double the year-end bonus.

He just wants to tell the executives that Russell will give them a better life and status as long as they do things honestly and think about the company.

Thomas Tai and Laimai sent Russell downstairs to leave. Laimai opened the car door. Russell stood at the car door, turned to look at the two of them and said, "You two are my confidantes. You are the only ones left in Philadelphia. Do you understand?"

"Understood! Boss, don't worry, we will definitely supervise them to do good deeds."

Russell said: "Thomas Tai, go back and tell those executives, I forgot to say just now, their quarterly bonuses and year-end bonuses will also be doubled! And at the end of each year, I will withdraw [-]% of the steel company's profits, Distributed to workers and management."

"Yes!"

"Boss, you are too generous..."

Russell smiled and said, "Only in this way will they sincerely regard the company as their family. Laimai, you should contact the president of the Iron Workers Association more recently, and it will be useful in the future."

"Ok."

It is evening now, the red sun is setting in the west, and the clouds are colorful.

Suburban manor.

This was originally the residence of the Hockley family. After Hockley's death, his wife sold the manor.

Russell got the ownership of the manor for one dollar to ensure the safety of their mother and daughter.

And he didn't break his promise, sent the Hockley mother and daughter to Florida, and settled down.

The manor was not deserted. There were four Thomas Tai security company employees at the door. In addition, there were also [-] security guards with guns inside, responsible for protecting the safety of Russell's family.

In 1913, Ruth became pregnant and gave birth to Russell's eldest son in Niangen, named Kahn.

In 1914, Ruth became pregnant again and gave birth to her second son, Genna, in early 15.

It's May 16, and Ruth has just given birth to Russell's youngest daughter, Hayley.

It's not that Russell has nothing else to do, but Ruth's physique seems to be very sensitive, especially after giving birth, she is very obsessed with Russell's body. Whenever Russell comes back from vacation, Ruth can't bear it...

As soon as they entered the door, the four security guards stood up to say hello.

Russell nodded, then drove into the manor and parked the car at the gate of the building.

Two maids rushed to open the door for Russell.

"Sir, madam cooks for you tonight and made your favorite fried steak..."

Russell frowned: "Why don't you stop her."

"My... madam is too enthusiastic, we can't stop it."

Russell waved his hand, signaling them to back off.

To be honest, Ruth's cooking skills are hard to describe. When I was in New York, I basically went out to eat with Ruth. Later, Amani came and let her cook.

Later, Ruth insisted on showing off her cooking skills, and Russell was of course looking forward to it, but she vomited as soon as she ate the steak.

It's not bad, it's very bad.

The steak is best prepared, it just needs to be cooked, but Ruth insists on spreading honey and lemon on the steak... Whether it is sweet or not, sour or not, it makes him retch.

"Ruth! You don't want to cook, you just had a baby and it's not suitable for labor."

Ruth smiled from the kitchen: "It's okay, I like to cook."

At this time, Kahn, the two-and-a-half-year-old eldest son at the stairway, came running staggeringly in jumpsuits.

"dad…"

Russell leaned over and picked him up, kissing him twice on the cheek.

"Did you pee your pants?"

"I didn't! Genna peed two pants, Hailey changed five..."

"What did you have for lunch?"

"Milk bread."
