Chapter 184 Rockefeller’s concern

“Long life in England (

A week later, Li Lin had asked someone to register an oil refining company with the US Emperor!

It is a branch of Lee’s Gasoline Company.

Since Li Lin’s thermal cracking process oil refining equipment has been manufactured by Li Lin in advance, as long as the company is registered, it can be installed after the equipment is shipped! It can definitely be put into production within half a year.

…

American Emperor.

Standard Oil Corporation headquarters.

The old Rockefeller, who was in his 60s, sat in a chair and listened to a marketing manager reporting some situations.

Now the old Rockefeller intends to retire at the end of this year.

Some things are handed over to a few confidants of the company and their own son to manage.

Marketing Manager Garfield looked at the chairman in front of him and said respectfully: “Mr. Chairman, I recently discovered a very strong oil refining company in the West! Its name is Li’s Gasoline Company, which specializes in In the production of gasoline, other kerosene, paraffin, etc., the sales volume is average, but gasoline has the potential to have a monopoly!”

As soon as these words came out, Old Rockefeller’s turbid eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked with a hint of interest, “What’s the specific situation?”

To be honest, at present, their company’s world market share in the refining block is over 84%!

Can a new company have the potential to have a monopoly?

This made him a little unbelievable!

“Yes, this company started to open an oil refining company in the country a few years ago. After a few years, it currently accounts for 70% of the gasoline market in the country, and the French side also occupies 30% of the gasoline market, oh The fierce country also occupies 10% of the gasoline market, Yida also occupies 8% of the gasoline market, the Goose country also occupies 17% of the gasoline market, and the British side occupies 10% of the gasoline market… ‘ reported Garfield.

“What? Occupy 70% of the gasoline market on the other side of the country?” Old Rockefeller was shocked when he heard this.

Looking at the above data, it does have the potential for a monopoly in the gasoline field in the future.

So far, their company’s most profitable commodity is still kerosene. After all, kerosene lights up lamps and consumes a lot of money.

Although gasoline has developed rapidly in recent years, there is no way to replace the dominance of kerosene for the time being.

But now with the popularity of electric lights. Electric lamps have caused the market for lighting oils to shrink rapidly.

Therefore, the old Rockefeller is also very optimistic about the gasoline market in the future.

In particular, the company also urged the company to increase investment in the development of gasoline products.

In the past two years, he has not asked too much about the company, mainly because seven or eight years ago, he began to expand his tentacles to the excavation and transportation of iron ore, and he began to conflict with Carnegie, and he was concerned about some internal affairs of the company. Not as much as before. I didn’t expect this Li’s Gasoline Company to pop up all of a sudden!

“Yes, in addition, the market share of France, Italy, and England does not seem to be much, but the main reason is that their market layout there has only been more than a year, and as time goes on, it will definitely increase sharply, even Form a monopoly!”

“What is the reason for this new company to do this?” Old Rockefeller asked with a sullen face.

“A new type of oil refining technology! I sent someone to investigate. It is called thermal cracking. The oil yield is 40%, which is double that of the traditional one! The other party has won a lot of market share through the price of gasoline.” Garfiel explained.

“It turns out! It’s a market share that relies on multiple channels of technology.” Rockefeller was relieved after hearing this.

For this new opponent, he has the best way to deal with it.

“Okay, send someone to contact the boss of this company. We will acquire the thermal cracking process in our company’s hands!” said the old Rockefeller.

“Yes, Mr. Chairman, I think so too.” Garfiel echoed with a smile.

In the face of huge capital, most new technologies will never be in the hands of the founders.

In the face of huge capital, the founder is just a leek. It was cut off batch after batch.

…

Singapore.

That’s right.

Li Lin has returned to Singapore.

He plans to go to the American Empire in 2 months.

It will take a few months to go there. It just so happens that the refinery over there should also be completed. He plans to develop the company’s opening and sales channels in person.

“Honey, a telegram from the headquarters of Lee’s Gasoline Company over there.” Daphne walked in with a telegram.

Now she has been pregnant for half a year, and her lower abdomen has bulged.

“Didn’t I give you peace of mind to raise your baby, why are you still doing these trivial things?” Li Lin said distressed.

“We don’t have any habit of raising babies here. I have nothing to do every day, and I’m bored.” Daphne said tenderly.

“Okay.” Li Lin reluctantly took the telegram and read it.

The telegram read: Standard Oil wants to buy his Lee’s Gasoline Company and that thermal cracking process technology!

The offer is not very high, only 3 million pounds!

“I didn’t expect to be noticed by Rockefeller!” Li Lin frowned slightly~www.readmtl.com~ He knew very well that after the oil refining industry became bigger, he would definitely have to deal with this oil tycoon, but he didn’t expect that he would finally come.

“Haha, you want to buy Lao Tzu’s company for three million pounds?” Li Lin pouted.

Li Lin went directly to the telegraph room, sent a telegram to the company, and refused to take over! At the same time, let the company executives over there increase the report on the company’s current situation. He knows that this Standard Oil company will definitely not let it go.

The other party has already taken aim at his technique!

Especially this old Rockefeller, the first-generation oil tycoon, with vicious methods, is an old yin ratio full of blood!

In the past life, many people were fascinated by this oil tycoon.

The old Rockefeller effectively defeated his competitors by cutting prices, sending money to the aristocracy, threatening railway operators, cutting off necessary supplies (such as oil tankers, oil drums, and oil pipes), and acquiring bankrupt companies. In addition to efficient competition tactics, another element of his success is the way to win over the enemy. After defeating an opponent, Rockefeller often offered to settle with the other party, and offered to buy the other party’s capital much better than the market price. If the other party refuses, he will force the other party to go bankrupt and grab the capital at a low price at auction. This reasonable coercion and inducement made many opponents make a peaceful compromise, and later even became an important cadre under his banner or entered the board of directors.

Secretly, I don’t know how many competitors have been assassinated!

If someone else has this thermal cracking technology, they will definitely be eaten by the oil tycoon.

But now it’s Li Lin.

Ha ha!

Then you will have to wrestle your wrists well at that time, and even if you are anti-customer, it is not impossible to think about turning the table in the oil industry!

After all, the oil industry, he is also about to enter!
