Chapter 251 excited Derek
Telegram Alan Wilson has been explicitly stated, U.S. Steel that size of the enterprise, it is impossible not to and politics is not involved, so naturally on the civil service discourse must be very familiar with, in the face of such a person, it is best not to talk too much, directly pose the data on the line.
When Drake brought Bette Davis to the door, Fei Wenli took the telegram sent in, a separate part of the data out, but also did not forget to fight for the good brother, “Mr. Derek, this is confidential information, related to the important industries in British India.”
Derek frowned slightly, thinking that the actress in front of him was going to be a class act again when Vivien Leigh’s mouth kept saying, “Everything has to be paid for, and leaking it out carries a certain amount of risk.”
So this is the case, Derek nodded and said, “Miss Vivian, paid hard work naturally have to be rewarded, this is a very reasonable thing, as a rather large-scale company, U.S. Steel of course will not, to make a white whoring behavior that will damage the company’s reputation.”
Followed together with Bette Davis, at this time it seems very instrumental people, simply can not insert words. Not only she can not insert words, Katherine Hepburn also can not insert words, after all, two people talk about things, they really are not insider.
Actor this profession from the whole is really not what high salary occupation, but to the level of Bette Davis and Katherine Hepburn, it is very high salary. Both are used to their current lives, where would they be motivated to learn about other professions.
“I think what is mentioned in these telegrams alone is worth two hundred thousand dollars. There’s also a subsequent honorarium if it does match after our verification.” Derek made a pretense of generosity in making the offer, “I believe this is definitely a satisfactory remuneration for a civil servant in British India.”
The moment these words came out, even Fei Wenli was shocked, to know that her remuneration when she shot Gone with the Wind was only twenty-five thousand dollars, and now just with these data and information that have not yet been sought, the person in front of her is asking for two hundred thousand dollars?
Isn’t it too easy to make money like this? You know, a lot of famous actresses nowadays, when they have a certain degree of popularity, usually only about 10,000 dollars in pay, as for the actresses without fame, survival is very difficult.
Fame has a very big attraction to actresses, even Katharine Hepburn, who is now accomplished, is not exempt from this figure, and Derek also said that there are more payoffs once verified.
A few shocked actresses also do not look at, Alan Wilson given what, if British India is an independent country, he is now doing things are enough to shoot, fortunately, just a colony.
Among these materials especially the section on iron ore especially caught Derek’s attention, Dolimaran Iron Ore: The mine is located in the Bellary district of Mysore Tupa and has an average grade of sixty-four percent. The ore is shipped to the port of Madras for export. Bailadir iron ore mine, also in Mysore Tupa.
Derek had memorized the name of Mysore, just from the distribution of several iron ore mines among the telegrams.
However, Derek did not know much about the British India, did not know what Mysore is a place, can only take the initiative to ask, hope that Vivienne at least know a little, “Ms. Vivienne, you were born in British India, right? What is Mysore Tupang?”
If Derek asked a little detailed question, he might be able to poke right through the persona of Fei Wenli’s Indian daughter, but it happened to be the issue of the Tupang, which Fei Wenli had heard more than once on her pillow from Allen Wilson.
How to extract benefits from the Tubal state so that independent India can not get anything, in Alan Wilson’s work, occupies a considerable proportion, Vivien Leigh happened to know, directly answered, “The British army has several times waged war against the Tubal state of Mysore, this Tubal state in the southern tip of the subcontinent, is the place of the indirect rule of the British India, Tubal state, there is a commissioner, my brother, my good brother! was once the commissioner of the adjoining Tupang of Mysore Tupang, and the local Maharaja was supposed to be a Pacifist, with the appellation of Sultan.”
Several Wadiya dynasty wars broke out between Britain and the Kingdom of Mysore, and after Mysore’s defeat, part of its territory was divided between the East India Company and its ally Hyderabad. The remaining territories were reorganized into the Mysore Tirthankara.
The Wadiya dynasty came back to power with Krishraja Wadiya III as the Maharaja and the capital was moved back to Mysore.
Later the descendants of Tipu Sultan created a rebellion, but it was quickly quelled and the masterminds were sent to Calcutta. The British took away the rule of the princes for a time on the ground of peasant insurrection. It was only after the end of the Indian national revolt that the kingship was returned.
“Thank you Miss Vivian.” Derek’s eyes lit up, mentally he had made a mental note of Vivienne’s words, anything he still didn’t understand would be answered by an advisor after he left.
Right now he needed to make a trip back to Pittsburgh right away, Pittsburgh was the headquarters of U.S. Steel and had the title of Steel Capital. The local people are also outstanding, in addition to being Carnegie’s home base, local people Andrew Mellon established the Mellon Consortium.
He became the richest man in the U.S. at the time and later became the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury.
George Westinghouse, American engineer and manufacturer. Received more than four hundred patents for his many inventions, including the air brake, railroad brake signaling facilities, and practically usable methods of transmitting electricity. He went on to found Westinghouse Electric Corporation and Heinz founded the Heinz Company, the world’s food giant.
With the outbreak of World War II, Pittsburgh was at its peak, with a population of more than 600,000, steelworkers coming and going, and sky-high smokestacks holding up a piece of the steel city, except for a little bit of bad air, and the rest is fine.
Got the British India confidential information Derek, immediately said to return to the headquarters, even Bette Davis’s warmth can not care about, the man is ultimately to take the cause as the priority.
If you can copy the bottom of the success, which contains unimaginable benefits not to mention, in the U.S. Steel internal, Derek will certainly rise, have a greater right to speak, may be able to become a part of the U.S. ceiling may be, the opportunity has arisen, it is worth to pay twelve hundred thousand percent of the effort.
Pittsburgh over the long-lasting gray gas, like a reminder of the visitor, the city in the United States of America in the unique position, Derek said U.S. Steel just occupy half of the U.S. steel industry, that is just a modest rhetoric.
U.S. Steel’s influence on the U.S. steel industry, among the many U.S. trust companies, are considered very high. It can even be compared to Standard Oil, which was not split up back then.
Otherwise, the history of the old life of Morgan, why to use nearly five hundred million dollars, the acquisition of Carnegie Steel, how all of a sudden the Carnegie sent the richest man in the United States on the position up.
Pittsburgh witnessed a lot of major events affecting the United States, Standard Oil and Morgan Bank on Carnegie Steel’s battle, antitrust laws appeared and practiced, as well as do the Secretary of the Treasury into the richest man in the United States Mellon.
Too much too much, and once compared to the past, Derek today said things is not a big scene.
But it is definitely not a small thing in the general sense, after all, internationalization has always been the United States Steel this size of the enterprise pursued, took a country, want the whole world.
Rockefeller family’s famous saying, ninety percent is not enough, I want one hundred percent in the steel industry is also working.
Decades ago, the Rockefeller family led the standard oil to open the internationalization of the journey, a time of British and American Standard Oil Company, German and American Standard Oil Company have been established, today the United States Steel Company is facing a better situation than at that time, why not try it?
As I said before, it is of course impossible for a company of the size of U.S. Steel to have nothing to do with politics.
Quite the contrary, they were quite concerned with politics, even involved in it. Knowing all about the loosening of the British Empire’s colonial system, many directors nodded in their hearts after hearing Derek’s words.
“I think the time is very ripe to start internationalization. And I’ve inquired about it, the place where the iron ore is located is in a place that is indirectly ruled by British India.” Derek said with confidence, “I’m not saying that there won’t be any British influence there, but I’m trying to say that the difficulty will be reduced, and that we’re investing in building the local area to drive development through reasonable and legal purposes, and there’s no reason for the British to oppose it.”
“Derek, the risk still exists, of course we are not disagreeing, instead we have listened to your opinion. It’s just that it needs to go through some evaluation, our company has numerous shareholders, it’s not like a few of us can just say a few words and be able to make decisions that concern the future of the company.” Several directors glanced at each other, and the middle-aged man at the head spoke, “It needs the approval of quite a few people, especially from Wall Street.”
“I see.” Derek understood as soon as he heard it, needing the approval from the Wall Street side was to go to the people behind U.S. Steel, the Morgan family.
The establishment of U.S. Steel was made possible by the Morgan family, and until this year there was also a strong influence on U.S. Steel, this kind of decision-making needs to be given the go-ahead, in normal.
Back in Pittsburgh, Derek, cold feet, electric eyes charming Bette Davis, but Vivien Leigh seized the opportunity to form their own girlfriends group, practitioners of micro-manipulation masters to warm up the initiative.
Essentially, Vivien Leigh understands how these seemingly accomplished, radiant starlets want to get ahead, because she wants to get ahead too, or she wouldn’t have traveled to British India alone.
After the gold master left, Vivien Leigh made Bette Davis understand, with a kindly persuasion, that it was better to ask for help than to ask for help.
“It’s true that we want to step into high society, we just can’t put all our hopes on men in the process, we have to show our abilities as well so that we can impress people.”
