Dodd, John Rockefeller's confidant, traveled all the way to San Francisco, responsible for secretly absorbing Alaska's mineral contracting rights.
The representatives of DuPont, Lehman Brothers, Goldman, Leber and Citi Consortiums were seated opposite him. Although these consortiums were slightly inferior to Rockefeller, they combined together enough to easily swallow two Rockefellers!
Dodd cannot help but ignore it.
Dodd didn't carry much money. After quietly selling Morgan shares held by Rockefeller in the stock market, his cash was about $27 million.
Thanks to Falcao's "false reports", the stocks of Morgan's company on the New York Stock Exchange were all red. Dodd's selling price only weighed on less than half an afternoon. Overall, the benefits were much greater than Dodd expected.
The other $33 million was given by these five consortiums. Perhaps it had the same considerations as Rockefeller. The five consortiums were all very low-key, and the US dollars they could afford were far from the famous font behind them.
Representatives of DuPont and Citigroup have negotiated with Abin and others alone. The price of a single purchase is above 5 million US dollars. This time, the joint venture can be won at an average price of 4 million, and the six parties are extremely satisfied with the cooperation.
DuPont representative smiled and said, "It's Mr. Dodd's negotiation skills, and the oil king's left and right arm is well-deserved!"
Representative Leber also smiled and said, "The six Asian monkeys have a bad foundation but are very high in tone. If you talk alone, I will be very angry with them! Haha, if you can acquire an additional contracting right this time, we will remember your Rockefeller's love!"
The representative of Citigroup sneered: "It's ridiculous that six Asian idiots think that they are the only ones in the world who will jointly raise prices? Humph, when it comes to capital operations, they are simply primitive people. Our simple alliance has saved at least $10 million!"
Next, representatives of Lehman Brothers and Goldman also made remarks, nothing more than mocking Abin and others, or appreciating Dodd's art of negotiation.
After listening to the five people's speeches, Dodd was not complacent. Instead, he sighed: "Oh, according to the information I have, these six Asians still have 12 to 16 contract rights. At the negotiating table, I once set up a language trap and wanted to induce them to sell me a few more. Unfortunately, the other party was very strict and never fooled. He only said that 15 contract rights were all in their hands, otherwise there would be no reason to have money but not make money!"
Representative Leber hummed: "It was sold for 5,000 US dollars, and it was sold for 4 million in less than two months! Such a value-added rate is really cheap for them! Bah!"
The 800-fold increase rate is enough to make anyone blush!
Citi representative said: "Although I am a fool, I know how to keep one! In San Francisco, in addition to us, there are countless consortiums from all over the United States waving checkbooks to buy contract rights. They are waiting for a price, and they are not in a hurry at all! Dodd was right. If it were me, I would give out half of the goods first and then stock up half for observation!"
Citi is a stock market expert and is the most familiar method of selling stocks.
Dodd said: "I won't mention these six Asians. Anyway, our funds have been used up almost this time. Even if he has the contracting rights, we will not be able to take it for a while. Instead, it will be a waste of money for others! I want to go back to New York first to see if I can apply for some acquisition funds from Mr. Rockefeller!"
The other five people quickly looked at each other, and a thought flashed through their minds: Yes, while this mission is completed, we should continue to work hard! There are exciting news in Alaska every day. In time, it is not a fantasy to have a contract right exceeding tens of millions of dollars. Taking advantage of the good foundation of this cooperation, it is the best way to force those Asians to spit out a few contract rights!
The Citi representative even had the idea of using the contract rights he bought for option financing, and his desire to go back immediately became irresistible.
Rockefeller has obtained 7 contract rights, and we only have 2 of Citi. If we return to Wall Street this time, it is no problem to use these two contract rights to raise $20 million. Then come here to buy it... Hehe! Citi representative's eyes flashed and his heart was extremely hot.
You know, American consortiums are all gathered on Wall Street, such as the Boston consortium, the Chicago consortium, and the Texas consortium. All their financial resources are from the Ganggang! When they think of a joint move, the greedy Asians may not be able to resist the temptation and sell the remaining contract rights!
Thinking of this, everyone stood up, greeted Dodd casually, picked up their own contract documents and rushed out of the room, some went to take telegrams, and some ran directly to the train station.
Dodd did not move, but waited until the room was empty, and an intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his serious mouth...
Not to mention how the financial tycoons of all parties acted, Long Hao steadily invested $60 million. Whether it was expanding the scope of his mother's nest or continuing to acquire production machines, it seemed more than enough.
Even if Long Hao's mind was hot, he decided to build an armed warship in Kunpeng, it was not impossible.
However, Long Hao did not make any big moves. Instead, he ran to Savi and asked carefully about the situation of the "Cuban Expeditionary Force".
The Cuban Expeditionary Force was named by Savi himself. As a legitimate major in Spain, he was already responsible for sorting out the military and political corruption in the Cuban colonies. Before coming to the United States, Savi was not very confident. However, since he met Long Hao, the "noble man", Savi's ambition in his chest grew stronger and stronger. He felt that this expedition to Cuba would not only collect 20,000 Cuba troops, but also build a big ** in Cuba... No, it is a territory, a colonial territory belonging to Governor Savi Castillo!
