Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

666 reached an agreement

After hearing Ye Qingshan’s words, Will stuffed a piece of steak into his mouth, shook his head slowly, and said slowly: “Ye, remember.

It's not me who asks, it's you who gives it to me.

Whatever price you give, we will do our best.

Of course, you can also choose not to contribute anything.

Just based on my friendship with Pete, I can personally help you to fend off the Morgan family to some extent.

But you want our family to go to war with the Morgan family for your steel company.

If the price wasn't high, I wouldn't be able to convince my father and other family members.

I can’t do much on my own.”

"If I offer 10% of the shares, what can your family do?"

“Ten percent, I can only promise to persuade my father to help you contain the Morgan family when necessary.

Prevent it from passing Congress and the White House and enacting policies targeting your company.

As much as possible, we will give you a fair chance to compete with the Carnegie family.

Don't worry, there are not many companies that can do this.

It is absolutely worthy of your 10% stake."

After hearing this, Ye Qingshan was satisfied with Will's offer.

But this is not enough.

The purpose of Ye Qingshan's visit this time is to form an alliance with the DuPont family.

The goal was to tie his steel company to the DuPont family.

Once Anthony and his men overthrow the Carnegie family and anger the Morgan family.

It can also make the DuPont family do whatever it takes to protect his steel company.

Obviously, in order to achieve this, it would be impossible for the DuPont family to be tied to their steel company with just 10% of the shares.

"Fifteen percent."

Ye Qingshan continued to increase his investment.

Just now, after listening to what Will said, after monopolizing the steel industry, it can affect many other industrial industries, and thus make huge profits from other industries.

In this way, as long as he can defeat the Carnegie family, he can become the new steel giant.

Now, everything Ye Qingshan has paid can be earned back from other industries in the future.

Controlled steel pricing.

We can get railway orders, we can get more shipbuilding orders, we can get involved in shipping, car manufacturing, and military industry.

Damn, it’s tempting just to think about it.

However, precisely because the cake is so big, Ye Qingshan knows that their joint consortium alone cannot eat it up at the moment.

“With 15 percent, I can convince my father to form a business alliance with your steel company.

We will do our best to help you defeat U.S. Steel."

"What about 20 percent?"

Will stopped what he was doing and looked at Ye Qingshan who was calm opposite him.

“If you are willing to give our family 20 percent of your West Coast Steel Alliance shares.

Well, I can guarantee that from now on, your steel company’s affairs will be our family’s affairs.

Whatever the Morgan family can do for the Carnegie family, we, the DuPont family, can do as well.

But are you willing to do it?"

"Haha, what's there to be reluctant about?

If you want to win, you have to pay a price.

This principle is the same as when I lead troops to fight on the battlefield.

Just 20%. From now on, your DuPont family will be the largest shareholder of our West Coast Steel Alliance."

Ye Qingshan also made a prompt decision.

If you want to take it, you must give it first!

Without the support of the DuPont family, they have no hope of winning this battle.

“Interesting, Ye.

I really like you more and more."

William stared at Ye Qingshan with burning eyes and admired Ye Qingshan's decisiveness very much.

"Forget it, you must not like me."

Ye Qingshan felt Will's burning gaze and quickly waved his hands.

“But I remember that besides you, your steel company has shares held by seven other West Coast families.

Won’t you ask them?”

“No, we discussed it before coming.

I am solely responsible for the negotiations with your DuPont family."

"it is good!

Ye, from now on, we are a family."

Will threw away his knife and fork, raised his glass happily, and the three of them clinked glasses.

At this point, Ye Qingshan’s purpose of coming here to find Will and unite with the DuPont family has been achieved.

Although the price paid is not small, Ye Qingshan believes it is worth it.

“We’ll find time to sign the equity transfer agreement later.

Don't worry that I'll regret it.

I, Ye Qingshan, always keep my word."

"These are little things."

Will waved his hand.

Both parties are straightforward people, and Will also firmly believes that Ye Qingshan cannot find a more suitable partner for cooperation than their family in New York.

"Will, can you promise to convince your father?"

Pete asked from the side.

"Don't worry, I have a way."

Will is confident.

Then he looked at Ye Qingshan and Peter and said frankly, “Okay.

Please consider that we are brothers in the future.

I'm telling you the truth.

In fact, several top financial groups on the East Coast were very concerned about the Morgan family and the Carnegie family's efforts to monopolize most of the steel market.

This has given us a huge competitive advantage in other industrial sectors.

I have been dissatisfied for a long time.

In order to break the monopoly of American Steel, several major families have supported local steel companies over the past two or three decades.

The hope is that a steel company will emerge that can compete head-on with U.S. Steel.

But unfortunately, they all failed.

But even if they are losing money, several top conglomerate families are still supporting more than a dozen local steel companies.

If you don’t believe it, you can go check it out.

Whether it is our family, the Rockefeller family, the Mellon family, etc., these top consortium families all have their own steel companies.

Basically, the steel orders of these families will be given to the steel companies under their own families for manufacturing.

If it weren't for us top conglomerate families, we wouldn't be doing this.

The American Steel Company, which is dominated by the Carnegie family, no longer occupies more than 60% of the domestic steel market, but probably 10%.

If they were allowed to completely monopolize the steel industry.

From then on, whether it is railways, shipbuilding, or military industry, we have to look to the Morgan family for advice.

How can this be done?

It is true. In a few decades, who can rival the Morgan family?

In fact, if your steel company hadn’t suddenly appeared.

In the next few years, our families will continue to support other steel companies and develop new steelmaking technologies.

Try to break the steel monopoly of US Steel Corporation as much as possible.

As for your West Coast Steel Alliance, we have actually been paying attention to it ever since it suddenly emerged two years ago.

Unfortunately, in the past two years, your steel company has been competing with U.S. Steel.

But it never gained an advantage.

Otherwise, people from several major families would have contacted you and provided you with funds and assistance.

But since last month, there have been rumors of new technology emerging in your steel company.

For the first time, we surpassed US Steel in an open bidding.

In fact, if you don’t come to me today, our big families will send people to contact you in a while.”

"Hearing this, Ye, are you still willing to give me 20% of the shares?"
