John Jacob Astor thought he had caught Chen Mo's fatal weakness and was very proud of it. He immediately sent his powerful staff to bribe Chen Mo's private business team.
He didn't know why Chen Mo was so careless. He left all his business to a group of people who didn't know how to manage it. Didn't he think the employees who signed the contract would never betray him?
It's ridiculous!
But it's good news for him.
John Jacob Astor secretly ridiculed Chen Mo's overestimation of American professional ethics. After so many years in the United States, he did not know how many cheats and betrayals he saw.
In his opinion, the so-called professional ethics is just that the price offered is not enough.
As the richest man in the United States, John Jacobs Astor, who has huge assets, has enough confidence to offer a satisfactory price.
Moreover, he will not suffer any loss. No matter how big their appetite is, they have no status, contacts or influence. Finally, most of Chen Mo's huge wealth will go into his pocket, making his position as the richest man in the United States more stable.
Not only can he retaliate against Chen Mo and wipe out the Chinese rich who violated his interests and posed a huge threat to his position as the richest man in the United States, but also make a big profit by the way, the absolute value of the business.
John Jacob Astor is confident to wait for his private business team to take over Chen Mo's property, but in the end, his staff brings him an incredible news.
He secretly contacted several members of Chen Mo's team and tried to bribe them, but all of them were rejected without exception. No matter how high the price he offered, all of them were unmoved and refused to violate their professional ethics.
How can John Jacob Astor be such a fool? Even if someone can not act for the benefit, adhere to professional ethics and be loyal to the employer, it is a minority. How can the whole team be such a loyal and principled person?
John Jacobs Astor, who refused to give up easily, ordered his staff to try all the members of Chen Mo's business team, bullying and luring. If the price could be higher, he would not believe that these people were all brain dead.
Even if these people are really loyal, John Jacobs Astor still believes that as long as the price is up, there will be no one who can't be bought.
In his view, these people are not too strong in principle, but too big in appetite!
Then keep raising the price and feed them!
However, the final result is the same. Chen Mo's team is really like a stone. If they don't enter into the oil and salt, they can offer attractive conditions, but they still can't persuade anyone to betray Chen mo. each team is stinky and hard, and they are not moved by the interests at all.
At the same time, John Jacob Astor was deeply envious of Chen mo. how could such a loyal, principled and professional person all run into his hands?
Such loyal and reliable subordinates are few in his hands, and he is not sure whether they will betray him when others give enough price, so he never easily believes these subordinates and is always on guard against being betrayed.
This often made him feel very tired, but he had to do so. So John Jacob Astor was very jealous that Chen Mo had just recruited such a rare group of reliable employees.
In fact, if he hadn't sent someone to test, these people wouldn't be able to gain his importance and trust even under his hands. After all, he's not Chen Mo, the super perception that can see the smallest changes in people's bodies, and can't distinguish their true ideas. Naturally, he can't select the qualified candidates from many applicants, let alone the qualified ones Dare to reuse them as safely as Chen mo.
Therefore, Chen Mo's way of managing assets in the form of shaking hands and shopkeepers is simply impossible for others to copy.
The way to buy Chen Mo's private business team and copy Chen Mo's background at one stroke is not feasible. John Jacob Astor is jealous and angry, but he is unwilling to do so. Soon, another idea is born.
After buying Brooklyn, Chen Mo still has a lot of money in his hand. With the new fur being transported in large quantities and being sold and cashed by the business team quickly, Chen Mo has more and more money in his hand, so Chen Mo continues to circle around New York.
In the future, besides Manhattan and Brooklyn, there will be Bronx, queens and Staten Island. Chen Mo has a lot of money in his hands, and these areas are still fields, villages and farms like Brooklyn. The price is not high. Chen Mo simply launched the acquisition of three areas at the same time.
In his luxurious villa in the center of Manhattan, John Jacobs Astor got the news from the housekeeper. When his heart moved, he looked up and asked the housekeeper.
"What do you think the Chinese want to do?"When the steward heard John Jacob Astor's question, he bowed slightly and replied respectfully.
"Master, it's said that these Chinese people are very keen to buy land. In China, all the high-ranking officials and dignitaries, no matter the princes and princes, or the officials and businessmen, all own a large area of land. Moreover, people of different identities and titles have strict restrictions on the area of land they can own. The larger the area of land they own, the identity of this person will be represented The higher the status is, if the area of land owned exceeds the limit of one's own status, it will be arrogated and the head will be killed. "
When John Jacob Astor heard this, he had some thoughts in his mind, but listened to the housekeeper.
"But in America, there are no restrictions on land transactions. As long as we have money, we can buy land at will. We can buy as much as we want."
At this point, the housekeeper could not help but smile sarcastically.
"The local bun from China must be rich but dare not buy land in China. After arriving in our country, without the restrictions of those rules, the heart of this enclosure will be out of control. It wants to buy a large area of land and lead a addiction of princes and nobles!"
When John Jacob Astor heard this, he nodded and agreed with the housekeeper.
All of a sudden, John Jacob Astor's eyes brightened, and his heart began to work.
Don't you like to hoard land?
Then I'll help you!
