Man is a greedy creature.
It’s not that people who have no desires or desires don’t exist, but they don’t represent the majority of people.
Of course, this does not mean that greed is bad.
Without greed, humans would not step down from the trees.
Without greed, humans would not have evolved from the Stone Age to the Iron Age.
What changes human beings is never the environment, but the greed deep in human beings.
This is why when facing the same desperate situation, some animals become extinct, but humans become stronger and stronger.
Greed is also a double-edged sword.
Because they are too greedy, some people want to live forever.
Because someone is too greedy and wants to make their family better.
Because you are too greedy, things will turn upside down, and the tall buildings you built will collapse.
Of course, the United States has not yet reached this limit at this stage.
But it is undeniable that in the past one hundred and fifty years, these families with a history of more than a hundred years have divided up most of the cake.
They indirectly or directly control the clothing, food, housing, medical care, education and other aspects of the American people.
Why drive Durant away?
Because a person's wealth is limited.
When he decided to buy a $1,000 car?
It means that he has to reduce his consumption in other areas!
But cars have gradually become a necessity for most people today.
This is the general trend!
So at that moment when cars were rising.
These white men are panicking!
They anticipate how dire the future of the auto industry will be, which could threaten the families behind them.
So these people banded together to resist the new young guy from sitting at the table.
They succeeded, and Durant was kicked out of GM.
And just when they were about to start dividing the property, Durant jumped out again.
This tough guy grabbed these people by their ties and slapped their faces with a ferocious smile——
Just ride on the horse, you are called a chaebol!
Of course, everyone has a moment of glory, don’t take a moment as eternity.
Why do polar bears think Durant is difficult?
The first success was due to Durant's carelessness.
The second success was because these people were careless, but the third time?
With the lessons learned from the previous two times, no one dares to underestimate Durant this time.
Even though he was fifty-nine when he left GM for the second time, even though the newly established automobile company named Durant was not in good condition.
But the name William Durant is enough to make these people sleep poorly.
Before the old guy, it was Cloefeller's Standard Oil that got the chop.
This company controls more than 90% of the U.S. refineries.
After the old guy, the public is more familiar with Microsoft.
The company's three office software products accounted for nearly 100% of the market share in 1999.
This is the horror of antitrust laws!
The normal procedure is to treat guests to dinner and accept them as dogs.
Some people became dogs, practiced for decades, and transformed into humans.
But old Durant had a tough bone and couldn't kneel down, so he was kicked out of the restaurant twice.
Facing the worried gaze of the polar bear, Durant shook his head, still looking confident:
"Don't worry, I'm confident, and I've found a super profitable deal."
The polar bear raised his eyebrows:
"stock?"
Old Durant nodded and put down the old man's teacup.
His full mental state makes it hard to believe that the other person is already in his sixties:
"Of course, I can develop Durant Company with the money earned from stocks. Those idiots at General Motors don't know how to make money or run a company."
Stocks are not a good thing.
In 1920, Durant was kicked out of General Motors because of stock issues.
According to normal history, when the Great Depression came in 1929, he would lose everything because of the same thing.
Of course, it is now 1924, and the other party has at least five more years of good life.
And if it weren't for the instigation of the Rockefeller family, Durant might not have chosen to bail out the market and lose the last coffin cost.
Although he knows that he is here, there is a high probability that the other party will not listen to the Rockefeller family's nonsense.
But the polar bear still warned the other party:
"Be careful, Wall Street is home to some of the smartest people in the United States!"
Durant nodded, which was different from his previous disdain when talking about General Motors.
When talking about the devils on Wall Street, his expression was rare and serious:
"Don't worry, I won't underestimate them."
But then, looking at the polar bear in front of him, Durant couldn't help but ask:
"By the way, are you here just to see my old friend?"
The polar bear put down the oak barrel in his hand:
"On the one hand, I want to see if you are dead, and on the other hand, I want you to help me get someone out of prison."
Durant raised his eyebrows and looked curious:
"who?"
Under Durant's puzzled gaze, Bell said a very unfamiliar name:
"Weinberg."
Durant scratched his head. He thought about it for a long time, but in the end he came up with nothing:
"So who is this guy?"
Seeing the confused look on the other person's face at this moment, the polar bear couldn't help laughing:
"The con man who pulled off Warren Harding's (the previous owner of the big white house) should be in jail in Atlanta right now."
After the words fell, Durant suddenly realized.
Because it is now 1924, Durant dare not say that the other party must be the greatest fraudster of the twentieth century.
But one thing is for sure.
If there was a ranking, this man named Weinberg would definitely be on the list.
Because this guy successfully deceived the previous president. Before that, he also used the name of the Queen of Romania to visit warships.
Durant frowned and his expression became interesting.
In his view, Weinberg was an oddity.
You said he committed something?
He did not gain any benefit from the deception. At most, he defrauded the other party of a few meals.
Do you want to say that the other party did not commit any crime?
From businessmen to ignorant girls, from queens to heads of state, there is no one he does not lie to.
Looking at the polar bear opposite, Durant rubbed his temples:
"Man, you've got me in big trouble."
The polar bear raised his eyebrows:
"so?"
Durant picked up the tea cup, and under the polar bear's questioning gaze, the corners of his mouth raised slightly:
"You can choose to book a ticket to Georgia now."
As he spoke, he looked up at the polar bear, with a signature smile on his face:
"Of course, you can also drink a cup of black tea with me, and then we drive the latest Durant car and go for a drive in Atlanta."
The polar bear raised his eyebrows and looked up and down at the old man in front of him:
"you sure?"
Durant took a deep breath.
The polar bear saw the heat in each other's eyes.
This was the last time I saw him look like this.
It was also when he decided to regroup and start Durant Automobile Company.
But what the polar bear saw in the opponent's eyes at that time was still unwillingness and the flame called "revenge".
At this moment, Durant, an old man in his sixties, has bright eyes, as bright as a star!
He waved his arms, as if he had a second spring, with surging vitality in his body, and shouted excitedly:
"Bell, do you know? I discovered a new blue ocean. People can drive, why can't animals drive?
At the last census, there were 230 million people in the United States.
The proportions of whites, blacks and animal people are 25%, 20%, 50%, and 5% minorities.
Do you know what this means?
If they all get in my Durant, I'll beat GM for the third time, and this time, I'll be the true King of America's Cars! "
Durant is still the same Durant as before.
Even though he is in his sixties, he still has not lost his enthusiasm for entrepreneurship.
This guy's eloquence is as good as ever.
He is indeed the super salesman who claims to sell sand to the Arabs.
And Bell must admit, this old guy has something.
As the automobile market gradually enters a state of saturation.
These car companies will definitely find a way to sell their cars to rich black people and animal people.
Just like the horse-drawn carriage industry that dominated the United States.
But considering the current situation, the polar bear shook his head:
"It's difficult."
There is a saying that time waits for me.
Population translates into markets, not population equals markets.
Want to promote cars and get more animals and black people to buy cars.
In addition to building a car that suits them, there is also a fundamental problem that needs to be solved -
You need to make the animals and black people rich, instead of just maintaining a normal level of food and clothing!
One step beyond is a genius, several steps beyond is a lunatic.
The polar bear is very optimistic about Durant's future development prospects, and hopes that the other party can be the first to eat crabs.
But it shouldn't be now.
For this current era?
Durant's thinking is too advanced!
As a friend, Durant understood the concern in his old friend's tone.
But he had his reasons for having to do it.
Taking a deep breath, the sixty-year-old man looked at the other party with a sincere face:
"I know, but man, I'm sixty-three and my time is running out."
The flower language of morning glory - perseverance and tenacity.
In the eyes of the polar bear, no one in the United States can represent the spirit of morning glory better than the old man in front of him!
