Marvel: I traveled through time a little early

Chapter 52 Oil Companies
Through yesterday's profit, George once again earned $1 million.It can be said that this was the easiest time for George to make money.The ancestors said that there is a golden house in the book, but it is absolutely true.

Although this time George once again made a fortune of [-] million, there was no report in the newspapers.Everyone now hopes to keep it secret for as long as possible, so that they can have more room to operate.

However, the day after the contract was signed, I received another invitation to a party hosted by Morgan Bank.It was held just three days later at an estate of the Morgan family in New York.

On the day of the party, George attended the party wearing a white suit.Because George did not have a girlfriend, he did not bring a female companion. In fact, it is usually best to invite a lady to attend such a banquet.

This manor is located in the middle of Long Island, surrounded by green trees and has an elegant environment.Good scenery.The manor covers an area of ​​more than 15 acres, with [-] buildings of various types, three guest villas, private roads, artificial lakes, golf courses, and forest parks.The main villa is a three-story building located on a hill, overlooking Long Island Sound.These were introduced to George by the butler who led the way.

After seeing this manor, George also had the idea of ​​buying a manor.After all, there is no problem living in the villa where I live now, but I will buy more antiques in the future, and I will definitely not be able to fit them in the current villa.So it is better to build a manor of your own.You can put everything you want to collect in the manor.George kept this idea in mind and planned to see if there was any suitable place in the surrounding area when he had two free days.

At the dinner, George attracted a lot of attention when he appeared.Most of them are women.Not bringing a female companion to the banquet is a sign of being single, and George looks so handsome now.

George had just taken out a cocktail from the waiter's plate. Little Morgan over there also saw George's arrival. George also saw little Morgan and raised the wine glass in his hand slightly in advance to show respect.

After George had dealt with the first wave of beauties who came to chat with him, little Morgan had already walked up to him and said: "How about it, George, do you have anyone you like? You young people should be bolder, someone as good as you is , but it’s very popular. Haha!”

"I still have to study now, and there are still many things to deal with in the company. I really don't have time to have a girlfriend."

"Would you like me to introduce you to one? I have a niece, but she is the apple of our Morgan family's eye. She is about the same age as you. You can give it a try."

"Haha, thank you for your kindness. I don't want to fall in love yet. There are too many things going on recently."

"Okay, but I'll introduce you to you first when I get the chance. Haha, welcome, George." After that, he had a drink with George.

“It’s an honor for me to receive the invitation!”

"Okay, I won't waste the time of those beauties. George, there is another reason for inviting you here today. I heard that you purchased several pieces of land recently, right?"

"Yes, in California and Texas."

"George, you know, many people call you Lucky Boy now. Because there are gold mines discovered in California where you bought it."

"Haha, yes, I am quite lucky." George replied.

"Well, that's it. George. Recently, the Rockefeller family contacted me and wanted to cooperate with you."

"They are engaged in oil. What opportunities can I have for cooperation with them?"

Rockefeller, George knew.His wealth reached an unimaginable level. As the "oil king", Rockefeller almost controlled the wealth code of the American oil industry at that time.

As the first billionaire in the United States in the 19th century, Rockefeller's life was full of legend.

He was not born standing on the shoulders of giants like other rich men. Instead, he relied on his own hands and keen sense of smell to achieve success step by step.

His way of making money has been pursued by countless civilians. He was born in a poor township.His career efforts were almost entirely due to his own efforts, and because of this, Rockefeller was regarded by many as a real money-making hero.

Rockefeller's life is full of legend, and his success was both accidental and inevitable. He possessed wisdom and insight that is unmatched by ordinary people. He was not complacent about petty profits. In a war-torn era, he relied on his courage to survive. Earning profits is really rare.

His experience could fill a thick biography, and George admired him very much.The family is now headed by John "D" Rockefeller Jr.

"George, actually many people believe in your luck. Geologists have published articles before saying that there may be oil fields in Texas. So, if Rockefeller wants to meet you, how about it?"

"Okay, no problem. If there is an oil field, it would be an honor for me to cooperate with the Rockefeller family."

"Haha, okay, I'll let them contact you later."

"sure no problem."

"Okay, I won't waste your time anymore. Look, the ladies around me are coming to drive me away. Haha, have fun." After saying that, he touched George, drank the wine in his hand, and turned around. left.

The next day, in the company office, materials from more than 50 newspapers were placed on the table.These newspapers are not the ones with the largest circulation in the area.It can only be described as average.Because those companies with the largest circulation generally have their own backers behind them.Either a local chaebol or a national family.Behind this is the issue of the right to speak.Foreigners are also very good at playing public opinion wars.Today's social conditions cannot be as relaxed as they were in the 19th century. Various families have formed various trusts, but the intentions of the major families are still very obvious.For example, the DuPont family was in the gunpowder chemical industry and then plotted General Motors, the Morgan family's General Electric Company, United Steel Company, the Rockefeller family's Mobil Oil Company, and the Federal Reserve. Their intentions can be seen from the names of these companies.

Therefore, George is going to start with public opinion.The establishment of radio stations, the development of television, including film companies, and now newspapers, are all for this purpose.Some subtle brainwashing effects are terrible.Just like the feminine culture in Asia in later generations, and the propaganda of beautiful countries in later generations, they achieve a certain purpose through brainwashing.

With these preparations of his own, George felt that the brainwashing, um, spiritual spreading work would be much smoother in the future.

George looked at the more than 50 newspaper materials in front of him, but did not read them carefully because it was completely unnecessary.After issuing the newspaper’s philosophy of authoritatively publishing national policies, quickly reporting on current affairs, rationally commenting on social and cultural hot spots, and objectively reflecting social sentiments, the newspaper continued to operate.

Playboy had previously sent samples to them. After reading them, George removed some meaningless filler articles and added a recommendation article introducing Lincoln's new cars.Then let them publish according to this.

And George also asked the publisher to publish the book "Problems for Smart Children".

After returning to the villa, George received an invitation from the Rockefellers, inviting him to meet at the Rockefellers' manor.

The next day, the motorcade drove to the Rockefeller Estate.The Rockefeller family headquarters is in Westchester County, New York State, located on the upper reaches of the Hudson River, an hour's drive from Manhattan Island, New York. It covers an area of ​​3400 acres and is comparable in size to a small town.The main part of this manor was built by family founder John Davidson Rockefeller at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It is surrounded by gardens, fountains, racecourses and art sculptures, and the scenery is pleasant.

The motorcade arrived at the entrance of Rockefeller Manor, and there was already a group of people waiting to greet them at the entrance.The butler looked into the car and said respectfully: "Is this Mr. George? The master asked us to welcome you here. Mr. George, please come in. The master is waiting for you in the lobby."

The motorcade entered the manor. As soon as the car stopped, the servant stepped forward and opened the door.George got off the car and saw a middle-aged man standing in the hall.George walked over with a smile: "Mr. Rockefeller, nice to see you."

George had seen information about this Rockefeller before. He was in his prime and an important figure in the Rockefeller family.He is the son and sole heir of billionaire John Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil Company, and the father of the famous five Rockefeller brothers.Known as "Junior" John Rockefeller to distinguish him from his more famous father.

George's deepest impression of him is that John Jr. has donated more than $5 million to educational, religious, cultural, medical and other charitable organizations throughout his life.He is a rare sincere philanthropist among capitalists.

Rockefeller stretched out his hand to shake George's hand, and said with a smile: "Haha, I am very honored to meet you, a young and promising billionaire. Come, please sit down, and let's talk slowly. What do you want to drink?"

"Tea, thank you!"

"I also like to drink tea." Rockefeller took George to a small living room and sat down.

Neither the people brought by George nor the servants in the manor followed.Only the butler stood aside from a distance.

"George, I am very interested in your land in Texas. Some experts have speculated before that there will be oil fields in Texas."

"But this is just confirmed news, isn't it?"

"Haha, I believe in your luck, but I don't know if you, George, are interested in working together?"

"No, I once said that only by making money together can we make our business bigger."

"Well, that's a good idea."

"The Rockefeller family has the most advanced oil detection technology in the United States. I believe that if there is oil under my land, then it would be a good choice to cooperate with the Rockefeller family."

"So, do you have any opinions about cooperation?"

"Well, in view of the fact that it has not yet been proven whether there is oil, and the land itself is owned, I am willing to bear most of the risks. These are some cooperation terms I have prepared. You can take a look at these terms carefully. This can avoid Standard Oil's early losses to the greatest extent." After speaking, George handed over a contract that he had worked out with many accountants and lawyers.Of course, it is already good that George can cooperate with the Rockefeller family to share part of the oil profits. If it were not for the political capital behind these big families, he could leave anyone alone and go it alone.Even if the quality of the oil being mined does not meet the processing standards of standard oil, the advantage is that the quantity is large, and it is possible to use low prices to carve a bloody trail in the crude oil market.

But in this case, Standard Oil will definitely be severely impacted, which will form an irreconcilable hatred with the Rockefeller family.

George is definitely not afraid of these families in terms of force, but as long as George is not ready to go against the government, some things cannot be erased.George is still too weak in terms of political capital, and there is nothing he can do about it. The time for him to make a fortune is still too short.

But we still have to take advantage, so that contract came into being.Of course, this is only now, and you won’t be able to say that you will take advantage in the future.George added: "Mr. Rockefeller, you know that I majored in biology and am also very interested in medicine. The Rockefeller family's medical laboratory is top-notch. I want to buy your family's medical group." Some stocks.”

　Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Happy New Year to everyone here at Zhutou!May your family be in good health, may everything go well, and may all your wishes come true!Good luck in the Year of the Rabbit!
