Chapter 660 Foreign Aid

660 Foreign Aid

In fact, it is no wonder that US Steel had to bid at a loss.

This is simply because many of the companies bidding were already major customers of US Steel.

In the past, these orders were originally given to US Steel, and the bidding was just a formality.

But the Carnegie family never expected that Anthony and the others would come out and kill like this.

Taking away so many orders from them at prices they couldn't understand.

At first, the Carnegie family thought that Anthony and others were probably going crazy for the last time, and it didn't matter if they snatched a few orders.

In the end, they had to pay enough damages for breach of contract.

But later, as time went by, Anthony, Buck and others did not restrain themselves at all and still showed up at every auction.

Still, we are able to snatch a large number of bidding contracts at extremely low prices.

This time, US Steel could no longer sit still.

If they really sit back and watch these bidding contracts being snatched away, will they still be able to maintain their reputation as monopoly giants?

You have to bid even if you lose money.

They felt that Anthony and others must have lost money in the bidding.

At this time, it is nothing more than a matter of who has stronger foundation and can bring down the other party first.

This is how they played half a year ago.

It’s a pity that Anthony and his team came prepared this time. The price they quoted not only did not mean they would lose money, but they could even make a small profit.

It wasn't until the Carnegie family received news that the West Coast Steel Alliance's steel mills were using a new steelmaking technology.

This has greatly increased their production and reduced costs.

At this point, the talents of US Steel reacted and urgently stopped the subsequent bidding.

It would be unwise to continue bidding when the enemy is not losing money but they are losing money on every order.

"Haha, the fun has just begun."

After reading the newspaper report, Ye Qingshan couldn't help laughing.

“It’s only been half a month, and Anthony and his team have only taken half of the bidding contracts.

The other half went to US Steel.

In addition, they accept some contract orders privately without going through auction.

In the past half month, the number of steel orders received by US Steel Corporation is no less than that of Anthony and his team.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as Anthony and his team take this batch of orders, they can deliver the goods on time with quality standards.

By then, the market will vote with its feet.

Many factories are definitely waiting and watching now.”

Ye Qingshan put down the newspaper, lay down on the soft chair, closed his eyes and said to Joseph beside him.

“Well, Anthony and the others did a good job.

If American steel companies fail to make technological changes, they will lose most of the steel market in the next six months.

Those factory owners are not fools. In the face of interests, so-called feelings are nonsense.

Unless the Carnegie family made up for their losses, they would inevitably abandon US Steel and place orders with Anthony and others.

Therefore, in the past six months, the competition between Anthony and the Carnegie family has become more intense.

We cannot rule out the possibility that the anxious Carnegie family will resort to other shady means or even seek external assistance.

Find some time to remind Anthony.

The Carnegie family has been able to stand for a hundred years, and its foundation is very deep.

This is profound, and it’s not just about money.”

Joseph reminded Ye Qingshan.

"How to say?"

After hearing this, Ye Qingshan opened his eyes, sat up and asked seriously.

Joseph has been in the American political circle for so many years, he must know more inside information than Ye Qingshan.

“Behind the Carnegie family, there is the support of the Morgan family.

At the beginning, the Carnegie family was able to unite dozens of steel companies to form a steel monopoly giant, U.S. Steel.

Do you think they can do it with their family's ability alone?

The Morgan family is also behind this.

However, the Morgan family’s main business is in finance and banking, not steel.

Therefore, the steel industry was still mainly left to the Carnegie family.

The outside world has always believed that the Carnegie family is still the boss of the steel industry.

Although this is true, the Morgan family is behind it.

If the Carnegie family can no longer hold on, the Morgan family will definitely take action."

Joseph took the glass of red wine handed to him by Alice and took a sip.

"Depend on!

Is there another hidden story?

Father-in-law, why didn't you tell me earlier? "

Ye Qingshan had a bitter expression.

This was really the first time he heard of this inside story.

If Ye Qingshan had known at the beginning that in order to let the West Coast Steel Alliance take over the steel market, he would not only have to overthrow the Carnegie family.

If he still wants to fight against the Morgan family, Ye Qingshan might change his mind.

Joseph glanced at Ye Qingshan, and seeing Ye Qingshan's bitter expression, he suddenly felt a little happy.

You were so arrogant before, but you didn't know how deep the water is in our domestic capital market.

If you don't hit a wall once, you won't know your own limitations.

Of course, Joseph didn't mean to hide it from Ye Qingshan.

It was simply because he had only recently heard the news from other political friends.

Because the Morgan family was the one behind the lobbying of Washington to get the West Coast Steel Alliance and US Steel to cease fire.

But unfortunately, the negotiations failed in the end.

"Father-in-law, what should we do now?

Will the Morgan family really take action in the end?

Do we still have a chance of winning?"

Ye Qingshan looked at Joseph and asked seriously.

At the same time, he reflected in his heart that he seemed to have underestimated the complexity among the capital consortiums in the United States.

I thought that one Carnegie family was troublesome enough.

I didn’t expect that there is a big boss behind him.

If the Morgan family really gets involved in the end, they will deal with the West Coast Steel Alliance.

Not to mention the West Coast Steel Alliance led by Anthony, which can't be a match.

Even if their joint consortium, which was formed not long ago, acted together, they would not be able to be the opponent's opponent.

Seeing that Ye Qingshan was really anxious, Joseph knew that the beating was almost enough.

After drinking the red wine in the glass, he put down the glass and chuckled: "It's not too late for you to let Anthony and the others continue to negotiate with the Carnegie family."

“It’s impossible, it’s like this.

How to negotiate?

If we sit down again to negotiate, the other party will only make more stringent demands.

Although I lead troops in battle, the business world is like a battlefield, and many principles are universal.

There is a saying: What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiating table.

There’s no way I can go back.”

Ye Qingshan shook his head.

“What you can’t get on the battlefield, you can’t get at the negotiation table.

That is true.”

Joseph pondered over Ye Qingshan's words.

He didn’t want to see Ye Qingshan’s anxious look, so he comforted him: “Don’t worry, the Carnegie family has the Morgan family behind it.

Who says we can't find some external help to fight against the Morgan family?
