Situ Nan walked into Andrew's study, and this was the second time. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)

"Sit! There is wine on the shelf, you can go and pour yourself a glass, and give me a glass by the way. Andrew pointed to the wine rack, on which were several bottles of fine wine.

"Okay." Situ Nan said briskly.

Just outside just now, Andrew's attitude was a little blunt, but after coming in, Situ Nan felt that his attitude was a little better, a little less polite and more sincere.

"Tsk! This wine is good and tastes good. Situ Nan exclaimed. He doesn't have a special penchant for wine, but there is no shortage of good wine, and he can still tell whether it is good or bad.

"Huh!" Andrew smiled and didn't say anything.

Nonsense, will Andrew Mellon have bad quality wine in his study?

Situ Nan thought that Andrew was going to mention himself and Laura, but he didn't expect Andrew to mention a word, but instead talked about business.

"Kodak's thing, you're doing it beautifully." Andrew burst into a sentence.

"Huh?" Situ Nan was surprised.

"I said you're lucky." Andrew smiled slightly, looked at Situ Nan's puzzled look, and then said: "A few days ago, my old friend Eaton invited me to participate in a cooperation, and I agreed, that is, to acquire Kodak Company. But at the last minute, I didn't expect you to take advantage of the kid, so I said you were lucky. Of course, I didn't expect your strength to be so strong, better than I expected, and Robles's watch is also very good, but he doesn't know that Kodak's affairs also have my share. ”

"So, you're involved in Kodak's business? - What I don't understand is that with your strength, how can you ······" Situ Nan asked.

"How can you let it go, right?" Andrew saw Situ Nan's thoughts at a glance, and he explained: "Because your meddling disrupted our plan, Eaton was careless, he didn't expect that someone would start faster than him, and when he started, it was already a little late, he thought that he could buy the shares in the hands of Kodak's shareholders at a low price, but he didn't expect to be taken by others."

It was later found out that our opponent was Robles Securities. Since we don't have more than half of the shares in our hands, it has failed, and Eastman and Eaton have always been at odds, so as the majority shareholder of Kodak, Eastman will not let that guy from Eaton succeed, and it is obvious that we will not be able to get Kodak.

It's better to close it when it is good, in fact, now Kodak's stock price has risen back to the normal price, and we have actually made money if you calculate it carefully. Hehe" Andrew laughed, not at all frustrated by failure.

"Actually, you can also ask us to cooperate and kick out Eastman together, why not?" Situ Nan asked puzzledly, it stands to reason that after Andrew knew that Kodak's affairs also had Robles and his shadows, it was completely possible for the two sides to cooperate.

"That's what I thought at first, but then I changed my mind." Andrew said.

"Why?" Situ Nan asked.

"Because now we're cooperating, to be precise, I'm working with you. My old friend Eaton sold me a face, and now 21% of his Kodak has been sold to me. Anyway, his goal has been achieved, which is to see that Eastman is not pleasing to the eye, disgust Eastman, and make money again, and get the friendship of the Mellon family, why not sell me Kodak's shares? Hehe! Andrew said with a smile, looking a little treacherous, this is the true face of this old fox......

Situ Nan was relieved at this time, no wonder the other party just confronted his side for a while and there was no follow-up, it turned out that there was still this relationship, it is estimated that Andrew found Robles before he died down, right?

However, there is no free lunch in the world, although Andrew said it so easily, but Situ Nan estimated that Andrew also spent a lot of money to convince him of the Eton family, or Andrew sold the Eton family and took the benefits for himself.

Could it be that Andrew wants to buy his own shares in Kodak so that he can swallow Kodak under his stomach? If he spoke, how could he refuse? Situ Nan suddenly thought.

Although there are some "villains who are in the belly of a gentleman", as soon as it comes to business, Situ Nan's mind accelerates, and people become shrewd. After all, Kodak is Situ Nan's first brand company, and he is reluctant to let go.

He took a deep breath and didn't answer, waiting for Andrew's next words. At this time, it is easy to open your mouth and be at a disadvantage in the following negotiations.

This kid, it's kind of interesting!

Andrew smiled in his heart, as if he had seen through Situ Nan's thoughts. However, I appreciate that Situ Nan can maintain a calm state in front of him, not in a hurry, usually in a man in his forties and fifties, this feeling is reflected in him, it is really rare, no wonder how fast his career has developed in recent years, in addition to luck, other things are also very important. After all, one can't always rely on luck.

Andrew was very pleased with Situ Nan's appearance.

"I know now that you own 39 percent of Kodak, you're the biggest shareholder, and then there's the Mellon family, and then Eastman. For us at the Mellon family, while Kodak has a lot of potential, we don't have to get it.

On the contrary, it was your appearance that surprised me a little, at first I was afraid that you were young and vigorous, and you would let your people manage Kodak, but you didn't, but you left Eastman behind, I have to say, Eastman is indeed the best manager of Kodak. ”

Andrew commented, unable to hide his appreciation for Situ Nan in his words.

Situ Nan's heart settled down, and he was looking forward to getting Andrew's appreciation, after all, Situ Nan still wanted Andrew to agree to the matter between him and Laura.

For Andrew's level, it is quite accurate, everyone knows that Andrew of the Mellon family is like a muffled machine, turning silently. The eyes of the Mellon family seem to be the easiest to spot the things that make them money, and once they find them, no matter what means they take, they will succeed.

Andrew's shrewdness and calculation are unsurpassed, and he always loses no time in getting a piece of the pie in every new business. And he often sells people, and that person has to count the money for him. Even the once-invincible old Morgan was deflated by him.

In addition to his excellent investment vision, Andrew Mellon's communication skills are even more admired by Situ Nan. Although Andrew is a bit withdrawn and taciturn, he has many high-ranking government officials who are good friends.

Situ Nan knew that the Mellon family was often linked to government dignitaries. Whenever the city government bids to build a thoroughfare or widen a street, these districts and streets are always bought by the Mellon family first, and then the price skyrockets. In fact, behind these municipal dignitaries, there is also the support of big capitalists. That's how Andrew Mellon traded "money" and "power" with them.

It may seem simple to say, but there are not many people who can succeed, and even fewer people who can do it as well as Andrew.

Andrew Mellon later served three consecutive terms as Treasury Secretary in the White House! Cattle!
