Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

"Mr. Vanderbilt, there is one thing I forgot to tell you," John Morgan couldn't help but reminded: "You asked our family bank to prepare to provide you with two million dollars in goods and payments, I Although my father agreed, but Morgan Bank is a joint-stock system, so many shareholders are not optimistic about the goods-payment issue this time, so it has been stopped at present, that is to say, you are going to restock the goods-payment from Morgan Bank. It's hard to do"

Thomas Meilong shrugged, "Mellon Bank is also prevented from providing goods and money to Mr. Vanderbilt because of this reason."

Seeing that a few people were really arguing, Trins suddenly smiled and looked at Vanderbilt with a look of what to do. This is even more proud in the eyes of the two of them.

In their thinking, if Van der Beeter doesn't get enough financial backing from Morgan and Mellon this time around, then he simply won't have enough money to buy a stake in the Hudson Railroad, which means Van der Beeter doesn't have enough money to buy a stake in the Hudson Railroad at all. De Bilt's statement just now was a joke.

Vanderbilt didn't answer, he took all the contempt of everyone present in his eyes, Trins looked at him like an idiot, John Morgan showed him sarcastic sympathy, and Thomas Maylong was expressionless. , but Vanderbilt still caught the occasional flash of contempt in his eyes, and after a while you were crying, Vanderbilt thought with a sneer in his heart again.

Just when everyone shifted the conversation to whether Vanderbilt was out of his mind, someone belatedly appeared in front of everyone.

The person who came was Collison, general manager and strategic advisor of the Hudson Railroad Company. He had a document in the crook of his arm. Apart from Collison, perhaps only Vanderbilt knew what the document was. Many What people don't know is that this piece is a reminder that many people present can go bankrupt.

"Collison, didn't you go to Washington to attend the Railroad Congress?" Trins asked with a frown. Logically, New York and Washington are so far away that you only went in the morning. You shouldn't be here at this time. And his general manager is still the kind of professional manager who doesn't have stocks. In the absence of a summons, he is not eligible to participate in such a senior general meeting of shareholders.

With a haggard look on his face, Collison didn't look like he was pretending. He loosened his tie in a hurry, put the documents and a resignation letter in his hand in front of Trins, and began to say, "Boss, Here comes our trouble"

"What's wrong?" Looking at the resignation letter that appeared in front of him, Trins suddenly jumped in his heart for no reason, and hurriedly asked: "What happened, Collison, you can make it clearer?"

"I just received news that many citizens of New York City seem to be dissatisfied with our charging standards that are too high. Recently, they are applying to the New York City Hall for demonstrations, the purpose is to ask us to reduce the price in an all-round way.

and"

Collison looked at the few people next to him, and finally fell on Vanderbilt.

Teslin hurriedly asked: "And what, you hurry up and finish."

"It is said that the city hall believes that the passenger flow is currently too large, and many companies have officially applied to the New York City government to explore a new third railway through New York City. At present, it is rumored that the railway line is almost the same as that of our company's Hudson. The railway is parallel, and the city government has begun to evaluate it. Today, the city government reported that many people are in favor, and if the demonstrations really attract attention, then, "

Collison looked up at Teslin, John Morgan, Thomas Mellon, and explained: "If it is forced by the demonstrators, it is very likely that it will be passed by the New York City Council, and the City Hall will also implement it. "

"What did you say? Why is this happening?" Trins was stunned. Over the years, he has been ridiculing the Harlem Railroad's remote routes, unpopular and unprofitable, but the Hudson Railroad where he works has On the contrary, the railways are almost full.

For this reason, he has been very proud for many years, but now it is possible that the pride has become the cause of the overturn, which makes him bear it.

The sudden bad news had already shocked Teslin's mind.

"Chairman, what do you think we should do?"

"Is this news accurate? Are you sure the city hall and council will pass?" Trins obviously felt his legs go weak.

"I have passed the internal information. It is absolutely true. It is said that this is due to the promotion of New York Mayor Klink. Boss, you know, this Klink is of Dutch descent." Collison hesitated before continuing: "It is said that many members of the city council have already decided that they will vote to improve the traffic difficulties."

"Passed by the New York City government and the council?" Trins was completely stunned, not only him, but also all the shareholders present.

Hudson Railroad Monopoly's Most Popular Route Lost? In other words, the future value of the Hudson Railroad will become less important than it is now, and passenger and cargo flow will be preempted by the collapse.

In this way, the commercial value of the Hudson Railway Company has to be re-evaluated. Thinking of this, when many people look at Vanderbilt, they are no longer as strong as they used to be.

On the contrary, many small shareholders began to show their sympathy.

When everyone was in a panic, no one except Thomas Mellon noticed Vanderbilt's slightly smug smile.

Although facing the predicament~www.readwn.com~, Teslin still has the demeanor of a general, stabilized his emotions, and said, "Don't worry, everyone will know the result in a few days, maybe a miracle will happen, everyone wants to go back and rest. Bar

Trins' words gave people a little hope, but Vanderbilt knew in his heart that this was only comfort, because at this time, the manipulator was no longer Trins, but many giants in the United States.

After sending these small shareholders back, Trins said to the Vanderbilts in a sarcastic tone: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Vanderbilt, Mr. John, Mr. Thomas, who asked you to buy our company at a low price. stock, but in the current situation, you seem to have to take a lot of risks, and it is very likely that you will end up taking on some of the debt of the Hudson Railway Company. I really feel sorry for you, especially Mr. Vanderbilt. , I wonder if you have any plans to buy the Hudson Railway Company?"

Clearly, Trins is also not optimistic about the future of the Hudson Railroad.

"Let's talk later"

Trins didn't like to say more, so he said to Collison next to him: "Come with me"

Collison naturally knew how urgent Trins was at the moment. Before leaving, he gave Vanderbilt an urgent look. Vanderbilt nodded to Collison, indicating that she was relieved, as if to say I have everything.

Thomas Mellon took all this into account, and when only he, John Morgan, and Vanderbilt were left in the conference room, he said to Vanderbilt: "If Mr. Vanderbilt is free, , I'd like to invite Mr. Vanderbilt to my house and talk to me."

"Okay anyway, I don't have anything to do, and it's fine to chat with several friends," Vanderbilt agreed: I don't know if Mr. John Morgan is with him."
