Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne
Vol 3 Chapter 446: Oriole behind?
"It is said that the Dupont family is the French government and the closest ally. This family can be traced back to His Majesty's uncle. At the time of our great French Majesty Napoleon I, it was the top family of French descent in the United States. I think, His Majesty's presence can be called The DuPont Family Helps Us"
"DuPont's operation of gunpowder and financial capital is quite good. Well, I promise you, but I think the low-interest payment can be set at 1 million pounds."
James finally agreed to Napoleon's request.
DuPont is the purpose of his trip to achieve, as for the loan, it is not a loss, there is interest, but only a little less.
......
On November 27, 1868, the French-born DuPont family expressed their disapproval that the Hudson Railroad would fall into the hands of Vanderbilt, the "captain's". After already following the Mellon family, he entered into short selling the stock of Haller's parent company, and then dragged down "Captain" Vanderbilt.
Unlike the Mellon consortium, the DuPont family is the oldest and most peculiar wealth family in the United States. Although this family is not as wealthy as the Randy family of Dutch descent, and it is difficult to force some families of other ethnic groups in politics, the family has formed an almost monopoly on gunpowder in the United States. The special thing is the relationship between the old DuPont and President Jefferson, which has made the development of DuPont almost synchronized with the development of the United States for decades.
So in terms of political influence, even Morgan and Rockefeller are hard to match.
Now this family has come out clearly against the Dutch Vanderbilt. Many people are pondering what it means.
Bush, the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Millikin, summoned Al Gore, the ambassador of the Dutch embassy in the United States, many times. However, to outsiders, it seems that they are very calm. Could it be that the Netherlands is helpless about this, and President Andrew will be **** it. Help the Dutch captain Vanderbilt fight against the DuPont family?
is that so?
"No, watching a good show, things often appear in places that people can't imagine, that's a 'surprise'."
On November 28, 1868, The Wall Street Journal, the largest financial newspaper in the United States, suddenly broke the news that while "Captain" Vanderbilt was short selling Hudson Railroad stocks, on the other hand, he let his broker take all. The contract sold, through these two methods, Vanderbilt quickly realized that Hudson's stock reached 40%, reaching the monopoly power. People suffered heavy losses.
When Vanderbilt took over the Hudson Railroad, the world was shocked by the news.
Henry, the DuPont family head, is said to be furious because of his involvement in the short sale, despite costing the DuPont family more than $1 million. More importantly, the DuPont family's majesty over the past few decades has almost been wiped out, and a lot of losses have been lost both inside and outside.
The Mellon family has also become the biggest loser in this short-selling operation of the local family in the United States. Before and after, the Mellon family lost a total of more than 2 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 400,000 pounds.
To know that this is almost enough to buy 3 steam battleships.
......
On December 1, 1868, Vanderbilt began to close the net, requiring those speculators to fulfill their contracts and settle with him, the same tragedy as the parent company of Haller.
The Hudson Railroad's emergency board meeting was held at the Century Hotel in New York. All the shareholders of the Hudson Railroad attended the meeting, and shareholders who held at least 3% of the company's shares could participate in the meeting, but now the meeting is full of old faces , most people don't know what happened.
"Everyone please be quiet." Seeing that it was almost time, Trins, the original largest shareholder of the Hudson Railroad Company, shouted: "Today's emergency board meeting is held because our company is currently affected by Vanderbilt's stock market. We're fed up with 55% of our Hudson Railroad stock."
Everyone's expressions changed greatly.
Many shareholders even showed dissatisfaction.
"Vanderbilt did this, is he determined to go ashore to make a living?" The shareholders were in an uproar, and everyone laughed unhappily.
Trins glanced at the man, and then agreed nonchalantly: "Mr. Vanderbilt may have experienced too much wind and waves at sea, so recently he feels that it can be sheltered from the wind and safer on land."
Trins looked at his pocket watch and said, "It's almost time for the meeting. I think he should be there too."
As soon as Trins finished speaking, Vanderbilt, dressed in a formal suit, walked in.
"Mr. Trins, I'm Vanderbilt, the one you were discussing who wanted to take shelter on land"
As soon as Vanderbilt came in, he hurried over to greet Trins. He had coveted the Hudson Railroad for a long time. Naturally, Vanderbilt would not fail to recognize the current largest shareholder of the Hudson Railroad.
"Mr. Vanderbilt, according to the requirements that can be made to the board of directors, I have called everyone here. I wonder what Mr. Vanderbilt has to teach?"
If someone stole your beloved baby, I believe no one will give that person a good look~www.readwn.com~ The Hudson Railroad is Trins from planning to completion to business, he is all in charge , It can be said that it is no different from his child. How could he still smile at the murderer who intended to take away his child in front of him.
Trins replied coldly, "As a veteran railway company that has been operating for decades, the Hudson Railway Company will never be afraid of any form of threat." Without any goodwill, it is no wonder that you have any goodwill towards a person who threatens your status?
"Since Mr. Trins is so direct, I'm not going in circles"
Vanderbilt waved his hand, pointed to the documents he had brought over, and said, "As a shareholder who owns 40% of the Hudson Railroad Company, I think I want to be on the board of directors to participate in the day-to-day operations of the company and become a new director. It shouldn't be too much to ask for a long time."
"Aren't 40% of the shares supposed to be 50%?" Trins asked suspiciously. If it's not already over the 50% monopoly line, then Vanderbilt's 40% In fact, it is difficult for the shares to do much for the Hudson Railroad, and he will not hold an emergency board meeting according to Vanderbilt.
"What's with 50 percent?" Vanderbilt asked vaguely.
At this moment, a familiar voice from Vanderbilt came from the door, "If you don't understand, I can explain to you why it is 50%"
Vanderbilt was startled in his heart, turned his head to look at the door, and saw a young man of about 30 years old, walking steadily, and wearing a suit that fit very well.
Vanderbilt recognized the man, who turned out to be the heir to the Morgan family, John Morgan.
