The Vanderbilt family is from the Netherlands. The ancestors came to New York, USA as contract slaves. Connelius Vanderbilt was the first generation of the family and the richest capitalist in the United States at that time. He owned it.

Eight daughters and four sons, before Connelius Vanderbilt's death, the capitalist made an amazing decision to leave 95% of his assets to his eldest son William Henry Vanderbilt.

Bilt, the rest of his children could only be distributed equally to a inheritance of $500,000, which led to several of his children going bankrupt in the end.

William Henry Vanderbilt is still a very skilled capitalist, having done good business and bad business, but he only has one son and two daughters. Like his father, he only gives two daughters very much.

The less legacy, leaving most of the legacy to his only youngest son Conns Vanderbilt.

It is therefore that Conns Vanderbilt can continue to maintain his position in the American business world where competition is so fierce, not because of his talent, but because of his huge wealth, at least in the financial industry, he and JP Morgan maintained it.

Very good relationship, most of the wealth is entrusted to JP Morgan Trust Bank management.

...

Song Biao stayed in San Francisco for a week and met Ouyang Geng and Ouyang Qi who worked in the San Francisco Consulate, and accompanied by Ouyang Qi and Conns Vanderbilt, he inspected the investment environment in San Francisco.

After the earthquake, San Francisco land prices plummeted. Song Biao wanted to take this opportunity to absorb some real estate and ports. However, he had no spare money and the three million dollars he had finally squeezed out were ready to invest in the oil mining area of ​​Tampico, Mexico.

Roulette. Fortunately, Conns Vanderbilt now has something to ask for, so he generously joined forces with Song Biao to run a "San Francisco Bay Real Estate Company". He first lent Song Biao 2.3 million US dollars to invest.

They tried to buy the property and ports in the northern part of San Francisco, the Russian Mountains and Telegraph Mountains, and prepared to set up the Pacific Shipping Company's shipping base in the United States in the San Francisco area.

The western part of the United States is the western part. At this time, in the entire American economy, the entire western part is not as good as a state in the eastern part of the United States, and far less than New York. Vanderbilt decided to leave the east and go to the western part of the United States to develop. Here is the news that Vanderbilt decided to leave the east and go to the western part of the United States to develop.

A period of time was simply the most amazing news in the United States.

Only in this environment can you understand what the Vanderbilt family in the 19th century means to the United States. Even if it is already the third generation whose family is declining, Mr. Conns Vanderbilt's influence and financial resources.

It is also far stronger than Buffett in the 21st century. It is only compared with JP Morgan, Rockefeller, Andrew Mellon, and Carnegie in the East that he seems mediocre.

In addition to San Francisco City Bank and San Francisco Citizen Insurance Company, it is worthy of the acquisition of Conns Vanderbilt and the number of financial institutions he wants to cooperate with is simply too numerous. After Conns Vanderbilt showed enough sincerity, many of them were

The small banks in the disaster couldn't wait to rely on the Vanderbilt family.

Americans have actually maintained a very conservative Puritan culture. They attach great importance to family honor and tradition. For example, the Bush family, the Morgan family, and the Kennedy family are legends created by the American people themselves, especially for ordinary Americans.

In other words, the Vanderbilt family, which is clearly in decline, still has a very high reputation and reputation.

Under the influence of this strange factor, Conns Vanderbilt did not take out much money. After acquiring San Francisco City Bank and Citizen Insurance Company, he magically stabilized the precarious financial system in the San Francisco area.

, and used family reputation to secure the bank he acquired in the eastern large banks.

In just one week, Conns Vanderbilt acquired four local small banks and two insurance companies in San Francisco, and at the suggestion of Song Biao, he tried to reorganize them into a stable large financial company.

—Vanderbilt Trust, the securities trust company controls the controlling stake in San Francisco National Bank and San Francisco National Insurance Company.

Conns Vanderbilt himself is not a genius who manipulates the securities and financial industries, but he chose Amadeo Giannini, the founder of the Italian Bank, as his partner and serves as the general director of the National Bank of San Francisco.

.

During this process, Song Biao has been an important bystander, quietly watching for a week, and then took the Pacific Railway alone across the east and west of the United States to Washington, DC and US President Theodore Roosevelt.

, Finance Minister Cotlio met.

With the support of the vanderbilt family, Song Biao met with other important senior U.S. government officials and senators in Washington, DC. Since then, he has the honor to meet with J.P. Morgan, John. A. Rockefeller, Andrew. W. Mellon in New York. He has also been honored to meet with J.P. Morgan, John. A. Rockefeller, Andrew. W. Mellon in New York.

.

These people are all the storms of the times, and it is definitely a good thing to meet. Moreover, accompanied by the US Treasury Secretary A.D. Cotlio and former US ambassador to China Kang, Song Biao enthusiastically lobbies these chaebol giants to go east.

The three provinces invested and explained to them in detail various preferential policies and huge development potential of the three northeastern provinces.

In the early 20th century, there were too many unfair and unethical competition in the economy. For example, although Song Biao never issued any laws to prohibit other forces from entering the soybean and coal and iron ore industries in the three northeastern provinces, in actual operation, he

Through regional administrative advantages, signed franchise contracts, and control of railways, we can firmly control the soybean sales and coal and iron ore development in the entire three eastern provinces.

This situation was more obvious in the United States during the same period. It was precisely because of this that President Theodore Roosevelt had to go to war against various monopoly chaebols in the United States to avoid the US economy being completely manipulated by minority capitalists.

j.p.Morgan, John.a. Rockefeller, Andrew.w. Mellon was now the three giants in the American economic circle. He controlled the U.S. finance, oil, steel, railways, and shipping. He was in a rotational conversation with Song Biao.

Like Conns.d. Vanderbilt, they are very concerned about whether American capital can obtain currency issuance rights in the three northeastern provinces.

At this point, Song Biao fully utilized his expertise in speaking people and speaking nonsense, and promised them with certainty that American capital would definitely have such rights, of course, compared to Conns.d. Van De

Mr. Bilt, J.P. Morgan, John.a. Rockefeller, Andrew.w. Mellon, the three giants, are much arrogant, so arrogant that they hardly take Song Biao seriously. It seems that they are willing to be with Beau.

Mr. Vladimir Song met with him purely to give the US Treasury Secretary A.D. Kotliu a feeling to meet the "America should and must" advocated by the US Secretary of the US and the US Minister to China Rock Hill.

The proposal of developing the most critical influence in the three northeastern provinces.

For Song Biao, who has always been unwilling to be a descendant and even highly self-reliable, his low attitude when meeting the three giants and his tolerance for others' arrogant attitudes do not represent his voice. He hopes that when he meets the next time he meets, he will

There is a chance to educate the Big Three and let them understand how powerful the Governor "Bao Vladimir Song" is.

The so-called talks are actually not pleasant.

Because she was unable to arrange the meeting schedule with Mexican President Boferio Dias, Song Biao was not in a hurry to leave the United States. Accompanied by Miss Shu Xuan, Li Enfu and former US ambassador to China Anderson Conger,

I went to Connecticut to visit the Connecticut Women's College. I went to Yale University to visit. Since then, my itinerary in the United States has been generally related to education.

Song Biao is a more outpost. When he is about to leave the United States, Fengtian Governor Yinchang and the Minister of Reclamation of the Three East Provinces Tang Shaoyi are leading a two-month New Deal Expedition Team into the United States. They will be in Salt Lake City, Pittsburgh, and Chicago.

, New York, Boston, and then returned to the three eastern provinces on the way back, continuing to visit the New Deal in Japan for a month.

According to Song Biao's arrangement, starting next year, a group of new policy inspection teams will be sent to the United States for inspection and study every six months.

After nearly a month of inspection in the United States, Song Biao took a train to Mexico City and met with Mexican President Boferio Dias. The most famous dictator in Mexican history can be called Song Biao's mentor

What Song Biao did in the three eastern provinces was almost a replica of Boferio Dias in Mexico, establishing railways, introducing foreign capital, dictatorship, controlling the army, and promoting new education.

People with similar smells can smell the other person even if they are ten kilometers away.

Although the schedule of this trip seemed extremely tortuous and difficult, the feeling they felt when they met was so good that it could not be better, because they were both from the army and became famous in one fell swoop in the war, which gave them a lot of things to talk about.

, the negotiation was very pleasant.

Regarding the construction of Mexico's army and the possible war with the United States, Song Biao's only advice to Boferio Dias is to ensure that the troops around Mexico City are directly under his jurisdiction and control, and do his best.

There may be many Maxim machine guns, shotguns and three-inch Lucia field guns.

This is the main lesson he learned in the war and the result he earned with his bloody experience.

In addition, he also suggested that Mexico purchase m1905 77mm mortars from Russia, and combine some modern war trends shown by the Russo-Japanese War to strengthen military training for troops in trench warfare and small-scale raids.

In the following days, he was like a military adviser invited by President Boferio Dias to visit the Mexican Army in intensively, and put forward dozens of suggestions one by one, so that President Boferio Dias must strengthen his attitude.

The control of the army is to ensure that an elite force is under the strong control of the president at all costs, and this force does not actually require many people. An infantry division of 18,000 people and a cavalry brigade of 8,000 people are enough.

The friendship between Song Biao and President Boferio Dias is based on these things. He is a warlord, the other side is a military dictator, and both sides establish ruling authority with their own troops.

With these foundations, when Song Biao expressed his idea of ​​using his American company to buy oil in Tampico, Mexico, to find oil, even he himself was incredible and bought it for only a symbolic $700,000.

320,000 acres of oil exploration and development rights in the western part of the Tampico region.

In 1901, an American businessman bought 140,000 acres of oil exploration and development rights in this area for three times the price. Song Biao's new oil company was basically an empty shell, and the only general manager, Mr. Rong Kui, was a 100,000 acres.

After all, Mike Norton, a senior member of the American Petroleum Exploration Association, was hired as an engineer through the Columbia University School of Mining.

When Song Biao acquired the oil development rights in a large number of areas so cheaply, he bought shares of Mexican Petroleum in the New York and London securities markets, and merged his oil company with the other party, which was equivalent to taking the Tan at a very low price.

Song Biao himself felt that all the oil development rights of Pico were very lucky. Although Rong Kui and others disagreed with his ideas, after inspecting Tampico for a few days, Song Biao saw a large number of natural asphalt lakes.

It was still a firm decision to invest in exploration here, and let Rong Kui invite several talented oil exploration experts from the United States as much as possible.

At this time, there was only one oil company in Tampico still looking for oil - the Mexican Oil Company founded by Americans Edward Dohany and Bill Reiss Rongsen Canfield, but after three years of hard work, Edward.

The founder Dohany has sold his shares and fled the land, returning to his familiar United States to look for new oil wells in Texas. Canfield is the main creditor and has invested all his property here, so he definitely has no way to escape.

This company.

After buying most of the junk stocks of PetroChina, Song Biao easily reached an agreement with Canfield to buy the PetroChina, thus holding the oil exploration and mining rights in the entire Tampico area.

...

Mexico is a sunny harvest season in September.

From China to the United States, from the United States to Mexico, Song Biao himself never thought that there would be such a long journey. This was not the first time he went abroad in his life, but it was definitely the first time he came to Mexico.

All his previous knowledge of Mexico probably comes from crime movies. Digging an authentic tunnel from Mexico can transport drugs into the United States to make money. This is simply the way to make money that all drug dealers dream of.

Tampico is a very strange place. You can often see asphalt lakes accumulated by natural asphalt. Such places are difficult to see in China. In the early days, people discovered that oil was clumsy, and they were looking for this kind of asphalt.

The place of the lake.

Because before this, Song Biao had been planning to buy oil in this area. Rong Kui and his exploration team formed by him worked hard to arrive in Tampico and Mike Norton a few months in advance. Previously, they were from Mellon Oil Company.

Engineer, with extensive experience in exploration of oil in Central America and Pennsylvania.

After buying the Mexican Petroleum Company, Song Biao and Rong Kui immediately had more than 600 oil workers, and once again hired several experts with rich mineral exploration experience from the United States.

Everyone wants to make a fortune in this era, and Song Biao is no exception.
