"Let's get down to business."
Cover up is always a useful option in a mature conversation.
Because in such a conversation, seeking and giving strength is fair and equal, people's thoughts and thoughts will be reduced to the most secondary position. As long as the steps are comfortable enough, even being scolded is a topic that can be easily exposed.
The only thing the two sides need in common is the willingness to carry on the conversation.
With the intention ahead, Carmen quickly went to the point without embarrassment. Faraming and Sharon brought chairs for their brother and sister. When they sat down, they stood behind Carmen left and right.
"Make a long story short." Carmen tilted his legs and leaned back lazily. "The industrial and mining group under the asset management company of Drake chamber of Commerce will officially settle in Hartford. The scale is expected to include a 50000 ton iron making plant, a 3000 ton steel making plant and a special iron sand Wharf on the Connecticut River. The total construction period is 20 years and the total investment is 600000 pounds."
Opening lightning!
Colinsky is not the mediocre second generation of Hartford who have no worries about food and clothing. His status as a concubine makes his life full of a sense of crisis. At the same time, he also has an inexhaustible sense of ambition and thirst for knowledge.
He is a young man with both ambition and ability. Only such a young man can understand the meaning of the series of numbers in the card door.
With the advent of the steam age, steel is playing a more and more important role in all walks of life.
Knowledgeable people believe that steel will eventually become the muscle of a country, and its production capacity will become an important indicator to judge whether a country is strong in the near future.
What does 50000 tons of crude iron capacity mean?
The Roy that oleosa liked was the common son of the greens. Colinsky shared the same interests with him. He admired the powerful productivity of the current world power more than once.
Colinsky remembers that the crude iron output of the kingdom of Great Britain in 1780 was 200000 tons. France was slightly better than Britain, with an annual output of about 250000 tons.
In this regard, the United States is incomparable with the old powerful countries. Under the needs of the two manufacturing cores of Boston and New York, New England included more than 70% of the country's steel production capacity. Last year, the crude iron output was... 36000 tons.
Incidentally, as the most powerful steel tycoon in Connecticut, the capacity of Green's ironmaking plant is 6500 tons. As for steelmaking? I seem to have heard that there are two small-scale steel mills in New York and Boston, but Connecticut doesn't have one anyway.
Seventy percent is 36000, and ten percent is about 50000 tons... Drake is going to build a plant in Hartford and plans to double the ironmaking capacity in the United States
Colinsky opened his mouth like a drowning fish: "Ze... Ms. Xavier, why..."
"Why build a factory in Hartford?"
"Yes."
"Because of geographical advantages." Carmen changed his sitting position, "Hartford is adjacent to the Connecticut River. Our iron ore in Africa can be transported to new haven after coarse screening, and then transferred to a large load flat bottomed ship to the plant directly, so as to minimize the transportation cost and enjoy the high-level human resources of New England."
"Moreover, human resources are not Hartford's biggest advantage. She is located in the center of Boston and New York, not far from the two manufacturing centers, and the chamber of Commerce has a mature operation system in both places. With the current industrial foundation of the United States, only she can avoid the dilemma of steel mills falling into overcapacity to the greatest extent."
The reasonable answer convinced colinsky. His heart was full of admiration and unconsciously put his posture more and more obedient.
"Why tell us such a big thing? And still use this..."
"This shameful way of meeting?" Carmen smiled disdainfully. "Because Hartford is not a paradise. In addition to its advantages, there are more disadvantages here."
"Exclusive, shallow and short-sighted, these three words do not represent any individual. They are the natural defects of all capital and the fundamental reason why businessmen can not rule the world like aristocrats."
"But sadly, it is the businessmen who rule Hartford."
"Young Mr. Tommy Lovitz, the person who recommended you told me that you are the best and sharpest mind in Hartford. Can you guess what will happen to me at tomorrow's ball?"
Collinsky was stunned.
What will happen?
In the long narrative, Carmen's tone was so understated that Corinthians subconsciously wanted to say the word "pursuit".
But tonight's sense of disharmony has bound him, allowing him to clearly see the shadow lingering on the word [pursuit], which is so thick that it has even covered up the brilliance of the word and its goal.
Colinsky suddenly saw the answer: "you will be flattered."
"Flattery?" Carmen was interested.
"Yes, flattery." collinsky rummaged in the bottom of his heart. "As you said, Hartford is not far from Boston. The gentlemen of Liwell street may not know the real power of Drake chamber of Commerce, but they must have heard of your Chamber of Commerce in Boston more or less."
"No one will offend you at a social ball with you as the guest of honor, but no one will sincerely welcome you."
"After all, for them, you and Drake chamber of commerce are too strong, just like a big shark swimming outside the pond. Once you are put in, every life in the pond can't escape being buried in the belly of the fish."
"It's really a wonderful and rational analysis." Carmen encouraged the young man with applause. "I ask you again, in the face of the rigid social circle, what should I do to smoothly integrate into it?"
"This..." Corinthians hesitated.
His life has never stood in the position of the strong, let alone Carmen's examination questions are not to defeat, but to integrate. His mind is blank and he can't think of the corresponding method at all.
Carmen smiled with tolerance.
Sharon brought the only cup of tea. She picked it up and blew away the tea smoke comfortably.
"It seems that you have the acumen to find problems, but you still lack the experience to solve problems."
"Sorry..."
"You are still young and have plenty of time to accumulate experience. God's gift to you is the real irreplaceable preference. You should be grateful, not apologize."
Carmen took a sip of fragrant tea and put it on his lap: "the question of how to integrate into a circle that fears you is actually very simple."
"You just need to find a traitor in advance and let him jump out when the alliance is not yet stable. That ridiculous unity will collapse in an instant, and those cowards will scramble to kneel down in front of me."
"Because businessmen are naturally short-sighted, they have no time to worry about life or death in the future in the face of the fear of making an example of others. Shortsightedness is the reason for their unity and the reason why they can't unite."
Kolinsky was impressed.
While completely conquered by Carmen, he also understood his task.
"Does Ms. Xavier want me to convince her father?"
"Yes."
"But my father doesn't love me. I only have one day. I'm afraid I can't convince him or let him keep a secret before the dance."
"You can." Carmen stood up and took a contract from Sharon. "Today's meeting is actually an interview. You have been recognized by me with your performance."
"This is a long-term contract of Drake General Chamber of Commerce. Sign him and you will be Drake's core employee."
"The first phase of Hartford iron and steel plant will be built for four years. Before it is completed, you will be sent to Muscat to learn how to manage the operation of a large enterprise under Mr. Aziz, general manager of the industrial and mining group."
"It takes you four years to get the excellent evaluation of Mr. Aziz, the industrial and mining group and the asset management company of the general association. As long as you conquer these three evaluators, you will be the first manager of Hartford steel plant. This is the commitment stated in the terms of the contract."
"Your beautiful sister will also have a better future. As your family member, she will enter the University of Miami without examination. There are young and promising young people from all over the world, each with great prospects and freedom."
Carmen walked slowly and put the contract in Corinthian's hand.
"Sign it and convince your father as a drake employee. If you can't do such a simple thing well... Die."
