In terms of judicial consciousness, the big conglomerates in the 19th century are definitely more lawless than the big conglomerates in the 21st century, Rockefeller can use the army to suppress the workers' movement, the DuPont family can ask competitors to make dirt planes to deal with competitors, and Krupp is no better, otherwise Krupp will not be able to cover the sky in the German military industry, and the same is true for the Junma Group, as long as Li Mu wants to, Edison can be killed in minutes.
It's an age of lawlessness, and big business can really do whatever it wants when the rule-makers are the voice of these big businesses.
In fact, the big business in the 21st century is not much better, but compared with the big business in the 19th century, the enterprise methods of the 21st century are more hidden, and they are just dressed in a layer of legitimacy.
It is the next strategy to kill the opponent directly, especially when this kind of is already well known, once the notoriety falls, it will take a lot of trouble to clear the name, so Li Mu is quite rational and did not eliminate Edison from the physical level, since Edison wants to fight a lawsuit, then it is good to fight a lawsuit, Junma Group has a large group of lawyers, and the annual lawyer's fees are tens of thousands, and this money is always worth the money.
For Li Mu, Edison is just a pawn who has been pushed to the forefront, and the Oliver Winchester behind Edison is worthy of Li Mu's attention.
An Edison who has not yet become the "greatest inventor of the twentieth century" is not worth mentioning, but Oliver Winchester has to attract Li Mu's attention, no matter what, Oliver Winchester is also a member of Congress, it is not easy to deal with a congressman, at least it is impossible to directly send a gunman to kill him.
Li Mu's biggest advantage is that he is richer than Oliver Winchester, to be honest, as far as the current United States is concerned, there are few people who are richer than Li Mu, maybe those ancient European families have more heritage in the United States, but when it comes to cash, even the Rothschilds are estimated to be willing to bow down.
As far as Li Mu knows, the Rothschild family in the 21st century is definitely mythologized, this is a group of short-sighted people, in 18361837, the United States financial crisis broke out, the Rothschild family replaced the Bahrain brothers, became the agent of the Bank of America in Europe.
At that time, the head of the Rothschild family, James Rothschild, was enthusiastic, and the Rothschilds accepted state government bonds from New York and other states through the Bank of America, but did not know that the Bank of America was in danger at that time, and as a result, the Bank of America went bankrupt in 1841.
The incident left a bad impression on the Rothschilds, and James wished to be chagrined that he had "never set foot in America."
As a result, the Rothschilds withdrew from the United States, and this was the day when the Morgan family came out, and if the Rothschilds had persisted at that time, Li Mu's Bank of America would not have developed so smoothly.
The greatest advantage of the United States is its unique geographical conditions; in the Americas, the United States is absolutely the dominant power, and in terms of national environment, it is a world of difference from Britain, France, and Germany; unless the United States plays itself to death, no country can threaten the United States in this era.
During the Civil War, the British jumped up and down desperately, hoping that the Americans would play themselves to death, but the Americans survived and were reborn.
The day after the New York District Court sent the summons to the Junma Group, Li Mu ordered people to start buying Winchester's shares in the market, Li Mu's methods were simple and rude, that is, to smash the money, the market price of each share of Winchester's stock was about ten dollars, and the price offered by the Junma Group was twenty dollars.
This time it is considered to be seven inches in Oliver Winchester, but Oliver Winchester has to fight, otherwise he can only watch Li Mu complete the acquisition, as long as Li Mu gets the controlling stake, Oliver Winchester will have nothing.
Of course, it seems inaccurate to describe it as "nothing", because Oliver Winchester's stock is still worth a little money, but the problem is that for an ambitious industrialist, if there is no Winchester Company, there will be no Oliver Winchester, and without the Senator, Oliver Winchester will be so poor that he will only have money left, which will make him more uncomfortable than killing Oliver Winchester.
"I've already spoken to the Massachusetts State Bank and the Massachusetts Business Federation, and Winchester will never be able to get enough cash in a short period of time, so Oliver Winchester can only admit that selling the company's shares to the Horse Group is the best option for Oliver Winchester, otherwise he will have nothing."
Lawrence Lucas, manager of the New York branch of Bank of America, is confident.
Lawrence Lucas has secured the position of manager of the New York branch of the Bank of America, Li Mu is very satisfied with the performance of Lawrence Lucas, in just two months, the Bank of America has opened six branches in New York, just speaking of Manhattan, it has been able to make people find a branch of the Bank of America in twenty minutes, no matter where the person is in Manhattan.
It's easy to do this, New York is the financial center of the United States, Manhattan is the heart of New York, there are more banks here than hotels, and it can survive in the fierce competition, although it is supported by the Horse Group, but it also requires Lawrence Lucas to have enough ability.
"Be careful, Oliver Winchester is a senator from Massachusetts, and he is also a hand-eyer in Massachusetts, so he can't be given a breather."
Li Mu will definitely not underestimate a senator, think about Runkel's energy in Connecticut, you know how much energy Oliver Winchester has in Massachusetts.
"Hand and eye are all in the past, now is a time of economic crisis, in a short period of time, no one can raise such a large amount of money to Oliver Winchester, the Massachusetts State Bank is not not borrowing, just delaying for a few days, if Oliver Winchester can't find a borrower, then this short few days can kill Oliver Winchester."
In his field of expertise, Lawrence Lucas is confident that he will not lose to anyone.
"It's good if you're sure, when Oliver Winchester is cornered, it's time for you to play" Li Mu knew Lawrence's plan.
"No, no, no, I won't play, everyone knows that I am the manager of the Bank of America, and you are the boss of the Bank of America, if I come forward, it is tantamount to telling Oliver Winchester that he should be vigilant, so we will not come forward, naturally someone will do this well."
Lawrence has calculations, and no matter what, Oliver Winchester is planted this time
