Scene 131: Not good, I have a cold
Oliver thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
He didn't care much about Doug's explanation, he cared about Tom and Doug Chemicals' shares.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is just a company that makes synthetic dyes. But Oliver knows that the company's ability to make explosives is even more powerful than synthetic dyes.
Tom and Doug Chemical Company’s biggest reliance on synthetic dyes is not the process, but patent certificates from all over the world.
A universal twenty-year patent protection period means that under ideal conditions, Tom and Doug Chemicals can enjoy the benefits generated by synthetic dyes exclusively.
Of course, this is just an ideal state.
For example, the United States today, even the most developed New England region still looks like a lawless place.
The federal and state governments are not just small governments in the literal sense, but small governments in the de facto.
For example, Drake and the Fuel Association fire, in New York, there is nothing special about it except that it is a little larger in scale and a bit tilted in the battle situation.
Therefore, the fundamental reason for protecting one's own interests is its own strength.
If you have strong enough strength and rob others of your interests, it is also a normal world.
The free competition advocated by capitalism is essentially a kind of cannibalism.
If the world is like this, what's the point of having a technical patent?
Of course it makes sense!
The meaning is to be justified.
A small government cannot always be small.
In the internal and external difficulties, grabbing the guide to the south to divert conflicts is almost the only choice.
However, if you want to guide the gun, the small government cannot do such mobilization.
Therefore, the government will manage more and more things, and most of the unspoken rules will be truly replaced by the rules on paper stipulated by the government.
If it were liquidated at that time, what would have happened?
Of course, that's all for the future.
For now, Williams was able to dare to tear down the negotiations under Doug's instructions because they had patents and legitimate words on paper.
Winnie, a young and beautiful secretary, has a pretty good brain, although her breasts are not very large.
Seeing that Oliver agreed to him, Doug pressed the button on the table and called Winnie in.
Winnie started writing contracts on the spot. Of course, it was impossible for each one to be written on the spot. Most contracts have fixed templates.
Although Winnie handled it quickly, Oliver did not sign it on the spot.
For things like contracts, you have to take into account all aspects of possible situations in the future, and the number of words will inevitably be a bit too high.
In addition, there are huge benefits in it, so specialized people will study it.
Therefore, many times, the terms written by a lawyer, a creature that everyone hates, may not be at all problematic to those who are not legal professionals.
However, if you go to court, it will become a different person in the lawyer's mouth.
Only lawyers understand lawyers, and there is also a set of guidelines among lawyers. Otherwise, how can they determine who won when they talk?
A lawyer may be different from a keyboard warrior and cannot unilaterally declare self-win.
Doug had no disgust for Oliver. Instead, Oliver really signed without looking here. Doug had to think about whether he had really squeezed him out of Winchester Weapons Company.
Because... that's so stupid...
He can watch Doug without even reading the signature, and he can watch Doug without even reading the signature.
As for driving the agent out of the company he created himself, this is also a long tradition in the United States.
Because everyone except the founder may not have much feelings for this company, and those who invest and join this company just want to make a profit.
If the behavior of the Creator makes them feel that they cannot make more profits.
I'm sorry, I can only ask you to leave.
Although Oliver seems to be the largest shareholder of Winchester Weapons for the time being, Doug still has a way to drive him away.
It was precisely because he had a way to drive him away easily that he was worried that his opponents from the dye association would take advantage of such loopholes.
Don't underestimate anyone.
Even the begging vagabonds know that it is easier to get money from whoever asks for money, and it is easier to get beaten.
Homeless people who can choose locations, know how to ask for money, and choose "customers", can get more money than those who are not smart.
In order to survive, little homeless people will burst out with such wisdom.
How could an association that monopolizes the supply of dyes in the United States be a group of useless food?
Of course.
To a degree, as the second generation of the association, they may have weaker abilities and mentality than their parents.
However, they still monopolize this market now, which means they still have the ability.
When looking at a person’s achievements, you cannot only talk about ability or background.
Similarly, when looking at a person's achievements, we should not only talk about background or ability.
People with the same background have different achievements, but not because of their different abilities.
"Winny," Doug took a sip of the cold tea. He could not tell whether it was good or bad for something bitter like tea. "You follow up on this matter of Oliver's contract. If Oliver has any objections to the contract, you can talk to him first."
"Yes!" Winnie responded happily.
Although she was just talking, she had no decision-making power.
But even if it’s just a conversation, it’s already a lot of exercise.
Doug is not stingy to give his men a chance to exercise.
He was not worried that his subordinates would be more capable than him, but instead put him in an embarrassing situation.
He was only worried that his subordinates were not capable enough to support the empire framework he built.
Any problem is ultimately a human problem.
Human problems are ultimately management issues.
Cultivating a group of people with excellent professional qualities and good management talents is Doug's top priority in addition to expanding credible fields.
The person who can pass his initial screening is definitely not bad.
However, whether it is an ordinary talent or an excellent talent can only be seen when doing things in practice.
After Winnie went out, Williams walked in and reported on his recent work.
Although the negotiations finally broke down, Williams, who had been baptized by negotiations, looked calm.
It is not possible to judge whether a person is mature or not. A thirty-year-old baby who has not experienced the world is still a baby.
The environment trains people, and the environment transforms people.
Doug coughed lightly when Williams wanted to leave.
"No, I'm having a cold..."
