Scene 218 Rockefeller(2/2)
However, Rockefeller, who now runs an agricultural product company, feels a very strong sense of crisis.
This sense of crisis comes from his understanding of industry.
Although, to a certain extent, people always have to eat, agricultural companies still have room to survive even after ten thousand years.
However, grain is different from industrial products, but grain grows from the land.
Where Rockefeller has been to these fields, food can only be produced once a year.
Food can only be produced once a year, which means that agricultural products will definitely be left behind by industrial products in quantity.
Quantity means scale, and the scale of quantity means scale of profit.
Therefore, he wanted to change careers.
He wants to go to industrial production.
However, unfortunately, the capital winter in the past two years has made it less easy for him to find investment.
Moreover, when those people saw that he was running an agricultural product company now, but wanted to do industrial production, they thought he was extremely unreliable, so they stopped investing in him.
After all, no matter who invests, the purpose of investing is not to lose money, but to make money.
Just as he was wondering if he would talk about it a year or two, he suddenly heard about Clayden Investment Bank and heard that it was a Kazi in New Haven.
Therefore, he came to the city of New Haven with his own planner.
When he came to Clayden Investment Bank, he found that there were really many people here.
Therefore, he could only line up and follow the line and wait slowly.
Of course, when he was in front of the line, someone bought him a queuing position, but he didn't agree.
As for the planning book in his suitcase, it is about the planning book of the refinery.
Why did he want to run an oil refinery?
It’s not because he knows that there are many products that can develop a large set of chemical industries.
But because he discovered that there were a lot of oil minerals.
And these oil deposits must require a downstream industry.
These oil capitalists are like gamblers after gamblers.
They will not be willing to do downstream industries.
Instead, I hope to spend a thousand dollars to buy a piece of land, and it will increase by hundreds of times in one hole.
But, think about it with a simple idea.
According to the current crazy attitude, if more and more oil is produced, will more refineries be needed?
And these oil capitalists are unwilling to build refineries themselves.
Therefore, oil prices will inevitably become lower and lower in the future.
And oil itself is very valuable.
Whether it is replacing coal on trains or lamp oil used for kerosene lamps, there are broad scenes.
By then, the price of oil will be lower than that of coal.
Doesn’t it mean that oil can eat up all the coal market?
At this time, the savagely produced oil wells had no bargaining power to face the refinery.
As long as you control the refinery, you will control the oil wells.
However, it takes a lot of money to build a refinery.
Although Rockefeller runs his own agricultural company and has split it with his business partners, he can have several thousand dollars left.
Compared to his work for others, it has increased several times.
But how can a few thousand dollars be built into an oil refinery?
Perhaps, selling the agricultural company can barely collect the initial construction funds.
But unfortunately, this is not his own factory. His partner Clark thinks that the oil refinery or something is too risky.
It’s not that I can’t survive now, why are I so risky?
Why not do some safe business?
It's time to Rockefeller.
"Sir, what kind of project do you want to start a business?"
This is a very small living room. In this living room, opposite Rockefeller, is a man dressed very well but still wearing a hat and sunglasses in the room.
“The project I want to get investment is an oil refinery,” Rockefeller said.
"How did you think of investing in a refinery?" asked the person opposite.
"That's it..." Rockefeller began to say.
One of Rockefeller's specialties is to convince people.
Therefore, he can get so much salary and earn so much income.
The person on the other side was soon convinced by his words.
"Well, you're right. It's true that there are all kinds of chaos in the oil extraction industry now. In this case, investing in the oil extraction industry is not a good choice, but investing in the oil refining industry has good prospects.
And in this case, I think investing in the refining industry is a good idea.
However, as you can see from your planning book, the budget required for oil refinery construction is a lot.
I can't get through such a large amount.
Therefore, I need to take you to see the president of Clayden Investment Bank, His Excellency Doug Clayden.
Please prepare it."
"Is that today?"
“It’s today.”
"Is that right now?"
“It’s now.”
"Didn't it mean... it's difficult to meet Your Excellency Doug? It's even harder than getting an investment?"
The man wearing sunglasses and hat in the room said, "It is true for other investments, after all, the time of the president is very valuable.
But you also know that everything has exceptions. When you are interested in the refining industry, won’t the president see it?”
Rockefeller seemed to have realized in an instant.
He followed the man who was still empty in his head even with a hat.
I went upstairs, walked through the long corridor, knocked on the door, and entered, and saw an unusually young man.
"Stop wearing hats and sunglasses in the house."
The young man said.
"yes!"
