Scene 160 Venture Capital(1/2)
"I'll ask you for that matter." Lincoln said after eating the lamb chops, put down the knife and fork.
"Of course, your business is mine now," Doug said.
Doug watched Lincoln leave, and for the inspirational running for the US president, his time may be more precious than Doug.
However, no matter how precious his time is, he still needs to find Doug and clearly explain his demands during this time.
Because, not long ago, his approval rating was not ahead, and his approval rating is far ahead of other competitors.
Although the approval rating has always deviated, a high approval rating may not necessarily be elected president.
However, the far ahead in the approval rating already means a high probability of being elected president.
The reason why Lincoln's approval rating soared was ultimately because Doug set a publicity strategy and played a role.
The total number of newspapers published by the US newspaper group now exceeds 300,000 copies every day.
The 300,000 newspapers that are stable every day represent the number of people he influences, ten or even a hundred times the number of copies issued.
Even if it is calculated ten times, it is already a terrifying thing to be able to directly affect the thoughts of three million people in this era.
Even the federal and state governments in the United States cannot even do this.
Because, whether it is the federal government or the state government, they are small governments. They are neither good at propaganda nor have corresponding budgets.
Therefore, the power of the US Press Group will not be ignored no matter which force it is.
Lincoln came to ask Doug for help, it was also very simple. I just asked Doug not to turn against him.
That's right, just ask Doug not to turn against the other presidential candidates.
Why did you come here to request this specifically?
The reason is very simple, because other candidates can also be awarded by Lincoln.
Anyway, these conditions are conditions that can only be implemented by becoming president.
And now that Doug's support is supported, it is very likely that he will become president.
On the one hand, there is nothing, but on the other hand, when you get more, you pay a little bit.
No matter from any aspect, it is definitely right to please Doug now and win Doug's support.
Of course, Doug is not the only one who needs to please these candidates.
In New York, there are more people to please.
These tycoons who can influence the development of the US economy are the real masters of the US.
If the United States is a company and a member of the board of directors, it is these business Daheng, which has a lot of capital.
As for the US president, he is just an agent.
The broker has a term, but the board members do not.
As for the ordinary workers who have voting rights in this large enterprise, they are just ordinary workers.
Although professional managers seem to care about these ordinary workers, in fact, the behavior of these ordinary workers is still under the control of the board members.
Therefore, the people who serve professional managers are ultimately the shareholders of the board of directors.
Doug, if he only has the capital he owns, he can barely be considered a small shareholder just because he has just touched the threshold of the board of directors.
However, this small shareholder has the means to make many workers listen to him.
For such small shareholders, those who want to be professional managers, why don’t they please?
Even if you don’t become a manager, it doesn’t hurt to please such potential stocks.
As for why Doug easily agreed to Lincoln's request to continue to support.
He also has two reasons. One is that he believes in the inertia of history. In the other history, Lincoln became president, and in this history, he is still very likely.
Another reason is that Doug felt that other candidates might not have the courage to launch the Civil War.
The war between the south and the north is not only a regional war, but also a war of economic systems.
Although the industrial capitalists in the north seem to be more "civilized", in fact, the planters in the south have more wealth.
Even if the elected president is dedicated to serving the interests of the north, will he be worried that the north will fail in the battle between the south and the north?
After all, the planters in the south had just defeated the powerful Mexico. They even humiliatedly divided part of the land, established the state of Mexico, and joined the United States Federation.
Compared with the south, northern states not only have never fought with Canada, but they even have no intention of fighting.
Facing this form and such a situation.
Whether it is a double-faced person or a loyal northern lackey, it is difficult to strengthen one's confidence.
The Civil War was a good time for Doug to reap capital. Therefore, he would never allow the Civil War to disappear out of thin air.
In order for the Civil War to not disappear, he must support Lincoln.
If Lincoln is elected president, if Lincoln supports the US Central Bank in his city, if the Civil War occurs again after that.
Doug is confident that with this war, he can become the richest man in the United States.
Even at that time, the central bank's affairs went on and eventually the central bank was subverted.
Then what he got was much greater than what he lost.
"Boss, it's one o'clock in the afternoon." Doug's little secretary reminded.
"Take him to the conference room first. Today, all the entrepreneurs will meet in the conference room." Doug said.
"Yes." The secretary replied.
The entrepreneur that Doug mentioned is indeed a real entrepreneur.
As for why he had contact with these entrepreneurs.
The reason is simple, because of his Clayden Investment Bank.
Clayden Investment Bank is independent of Bank of America, and its main business is investment.
Invest in companies it is optimistic about and gain rewards.
Such investment-oriented commercial banks are not uncommon in the United States in this era.
The most surprising thing is that Clayden Investment Bank has launched an angel investment plan.
As long as you can convince Clayden to invest, you can get some money out of thin air. The most important thing is that if you fail to start a business in the end, you don’t have to pay back the money.
In the eyes of entrepreneurs, Clayden Investment Bank can become the sweetest donut.
Just convince, you can get investment.
If you can get an investment for every hour of persuasion, these entrepreneurs feel that they can talk about it for ten years without interruption.
When they saw the news in the newspaper, they all set off to the Clayden Investment Bank in New Haven.
Of course, they also had the idea of suspecting it was a fraud company.
But, what if it is a fraud bank?
The loss is only the travel expenses when it comes. If it doesn’t come, the loss may be ten thousand dollars!
Therefore, there are a few people who want to come to see Clayden Investment Bank every day.
Doug therefore made a rule that he would meet entrepreneurs every afternoon and meet them for ten minutes alone.
If he could be convinced within ten minutes, Clayden Investment Bank would make the corresponding investment.
If, if not.
Then I'm sorry.
Please leave.
Compared with the slow-paced business activities in this era, it is very difficult to make a person clearly explain what he wants to do in ten minutes.
However, while such difficulties repelled some people who were just here to join in the fun, they also made those who really want to get investment prepare more seriously.
They were able to tell Doug smoothly for ten minutes, which meant that when they had not seen Doug, they had to prepare carefully for at least ten times.
However, although some people have prepared carefully, what they like is not good, so it still cannot.
"Hello...hello..."
"Hello, let's introduce yourself first."
"My name is Tyron Scola, I am from New York, I am thirty-one years old, and I have been in the army for five years. I just retired this year. The project I want to start a business is military insurance... When I was in the army, my comrades always suffer casualties, but I get very little compensation. Therefore, when we are training, we always try every means to avoid injuries.
However, avoiding injuries is a conflict with training and fighting. Therefore, our combat effectiveness becomes less strong.
Therefore, I want to start a military insurance.
In this way, the injured and dead soldiers can be compensated and the combat effectiveness of the army can be improved. I think this is something worth doing…”
"Have you calculated your insurance income model?"
“What model?”
"It's your insurance. When many people spend as much money to buy it, you make money at the level of compensation probability and you lose money at the level of compensation probability.
