＜ A new phase. (1) >
“Henry Ford?”
I called Veyron.
At first, I was going to be briefed on the production status of the New York Ordnance Bureau.
How many old machine guns are stacked in the arsenal, how many new machine guns are piled up, what is the factory operation rate, and what is the production yield?
Production plant, arsenal, workers, defect rate.
We had to extract as many firearms as possible to supply Venezuela in the best condition.
We exchanged the situation as much as possible over the phone, and I thought the feedback on the New York Ordnance Agency would be over.
However, the name Veyron referred to as ‘Henry Ford’ made me pause for a moment.
“Henry Ford, he dared to come to the New York Ordnance Administration to receive an investment, even though the waiting time was nearly a year. Nevertheless, he did not withdraw and strongly appealed to us that he wanted to receive an investment from us.”
No, not Henry Ford.
I had another question for Veyron.
“Vyron, how the hell did you come into contact with Henry Ford?”
“Ah, that’s… An investment proposal came in from the New York Ordnance Bureau, and there are Ford Motors Company and Henry Ford Company with the same founder. So it stood out.”
“Oh, Cadillac?”
“Did you know?”
Cadillac.
The company was founded in the early days of Henry Ford, and is now owned by Henry Leland.
Henry Leland.
He specializes in luxury cars, and is a tycoon who later built the Lincoln auto brand.
Henry Ford and Henry Leland.
Two talented people rolled into me.
“Not only that, but Henry Ford’s biography was already beyond the level of an expert, he had the patience to wait for several months, and I judged him to be a talented person in many ways as a founder. Above all, it smells like money.”
Dollar smells good.
In fact, there are some theories that are important in investing, but in the end it is the rate of return.
– Someone who can make money.
When I see a founder, that is the key.
‘Vyron has an eye for talent.’
The reason Veyron immediately pointed to Henry Ford was that he had a ‘seeing eye’ in his investment activities.
You are talented as an investor.
“I’m meeting with President Henry Ford in a few days, would you like to attend if the director is also interested?”
“okay?”
Is it Henry Ford?
I fixed the receiver.
Whoops…
“Vyron, wait right there. I’ll run to New York soon.”
“I’ll prepare it.”
Moongrak-
As soon as the phone hung up, I picked up my coat with a flashlight and ran outside.
finally.
Freed from Washington for a while.
“Congratulations on your return to New York, Director.”
“It’s a shame to come back. You have to stay for a few days and then go down to Washington again.”
“…that’s a pity.”
As I rushed up to New York on my dedicated express train, Veyron greeted me.
“Is the Plaza Hotel completed?”
“I got a call from Bechtel.”
“It’s crazy fast. I like the sense of speed. Very good.”
Plaza Hotel.
while staying in New York. I checked in to the Plaza Hotel, which was said to have been completed just in time, and prepared to meet Henry Ford for a day or so.
It took me all day just to read the materials Veyron brought. It was commissioned by Pinkerton, but again, it wasn’t a normal skill.
“It’s not too thick, but it’s pretty good.”
Veyron said he just read it the day he received it and had already interviewed Henry Ford once.
There’s a reason why you’re on par with James in the secretary’s office. Talented people like it.
“I think we can give Veyron the job… First, we’ll have to meet Henry Ford.”
tuk.
I lightly tossed a thick report on the tabletop. I turned off the lights and left myself in the dark.
A hazy rush of water poured out.
I went to bed early to meet Henry Ford tomorrow.
thump.
“Henry Ford. I never dreamed that I would meet a mogul like Secretary Morgan today.”
“It’s a surprise. I didn’t come here to reject the investment, so I hope you enjoy this time today.”
“Haha, having a meal with the minister seems to be worth waiting for several months.”
The next morning, I called him into the Plaza Hotel’s drawing room. Veyron was also present, but Henry Ford was looking at me with a rather surprised look.
Hell, I never dreamed that the U.S. Treasury Secretary would be present.
Ford murmured cautiously.
“The fighter of liberalism…”
“?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I suddenly remembered a catchphrase I saw in the newspaper, so I mumbled it unintentionally.”
“It’s okay. I got the nickname because President Roosevelt cared for me so much. I’m proud of it.”
How the hell did New Yorkers perceive me? I was curious for a moment, but it felt like I was opening Pandora’s box, so I carefully swallowed it through my throat.
No.
Henry Ford is from Detroit.
“Is Detroit worth living?”
“If you don’t know Detroit while working in the industry these days, you’re a spy. Big factories are being built and manufactured. Everything I saw in Detroit inspires me.”
“However.”
“My biggest inspiration came when I visited New York, especially the New York Ordnance Administration’s production plant.”
Starlight twinkled in Henry Ford’s eyes.
“Conveyor Belt.”
“ah.”
“It was as if the workers at the dismantling line at the pig slaughterhouse were quickly handling the tasks assigned to them in one place.”
“The New York Ordnance Agency’s factory is a bit unusual.”
“Yes, division of labor. It inspired me.”
Henry Ford grabbed my hand.
“So I thought. Someone named Morgan from Detroit, who conceived the conveyor belt, would understand how I do business. I was sure.”
Henry Ford.
It seems that there is some trauma that broke up with the investors in the Henry Ford Company, which he had previously founded.
From the founder’s point of view, it is the worst experience for a business to collapse due to conflicts with investors.
I wouldn’t want to repeat that experience again.
It is understandable that Henry Ford had been waiting for an investment from the New York Ordnance Agency for several months.
Henry Ford thought that if we, the New York Ordnance Department, who introduced a wonderful system called a conveyor belt, would understand Henry Ford’s own way of doing business.
Rather, the more we waited for a few more months, the more likely we were to know that we were taking a closer look, and the level of likeability would have increased.
“There is no one else on my list of people like Secretary Morgan. Even at this moment, months later. Secretary Morgan is the only one.”
“…Haha. We have a good match.”
I smiled.
Henry Ford.
An investor who is busy with his work and does not pay attention to the company in which he has invested. Conversely, founders are extremely reluctant to interfere with investors.
Now that I see, there was no such thing as a heavenly relationship.
“We are aiming for non-interference as much as possible. President Henry Ford will not be kicked out through a general meeting of shareholders or the board of directors.”
So is Steve Jobs.
Henry Ford and so on.
It seems that the great men who will go down in history are destined to be kicked out of the company they founded at least once.
But the trauma is enough.
Gongdol… No, talented people are always welcome.
Now I have to walk only on the flower road.
I grabbed Henry Ford’s hand like a millstone handle. Now it’s Korean food.
“Investment proceeds.”
“….thank you.”
For a moment, he felt a little nervous, but Henry Ford shook his head. He lowered his gaze and silently read the document and scribbled his signature coolly.
Sasak – Sasak.
“Once I have signed the rest, I will sign the investment main contract separately after reviewing it with a lawyer. Is that possible?”
“That’s a Ford boss’s right.”
“That name… it’s not bad.”
Henry Ford wiped his nose.
We remained silent for a while, and picked up only the necessary documents separately.
“I hope to go along well.”
“Vyron, you take it.”
“Yes?”
After the interview with Henry Ford, I and Veyron, who remained in the drawing room of the Plaza Hotel, chatted.
Looking at Henry Ford’s behavior, I thought it would be better to film Veyron as the person in charge.
“James will be back from England soon. Take Rolls and Royce. Veyron wants me to take over the car business with the crew I brought in.”
“It’s been a few months since we set up an aircraft industrial park in Detroit. The Wright brothers haven’t succeeded in making a powered airplane yet.”
“Okay. They’ll do it.”
“You must have as much tolerance and patience as the director to establish yourself as a successful investor.”
no.
I just saw it in the original history.

Obviously they do Although 1903 has already passed, the butterfly effect has already delayed the appearance of aircraft by a year.
Henry Ford also survived a year for the New York Ordnance Agency’s investment.
‘But it’s not bad. The Wright brothers’ invention of the powered airplane is at the latest, but the manpower I prepared will develop the airplane developed by KEPCO exponentially.’
Henry Ford?
He has already shown interest in conveyor belts, and if I make a full-fledged investment, this will also quickly settle into the automobile industry and become number one someday.
The start was slow though.
That’s it.
The subsequent processes will proceed incomparably faster. Now I just wait for it to change from 0 (no) to 1 (yes).
rather good
“In order to increase the demand for the oil industry, the automobile industry and the aircraft industry need to develop quickly and move to the commercialization stage.”
“Is it the oil industry?”
“Yeah, oil. It’s the real phase of America’s hegemony.”
Currently, it is just beginning to be introduced into large ships, but the automobile and aircraft industries are developing and it is pouring out an overflowing demand.
So, from the perspective of the major U.S. oil companies, it’s a no-brainer.
“Until then, secure oil fields as much as possible. The day is not far off when those who possess oil will seize the world hegemony.”
There are many types of hegemony.
But among them, the oil hegemony is one of the hegemons with the greatest influence. In particular, Venezuela’s oil fields are at a level of insane oil reserves in the world.
In the meantime, will automobiles and air services be commercialized?
Demand will explode and soar to levels beyond the reach of the Pennsylvania and Baku fields alone.
With Texas and Venezuela’s oil fields, we can control our oil supply.

OPEC can be realized in the US version.
“The future is bright. Automobiles will soon replace wagons. Wagons will be absorbed into history and tourism.”
“You’re sure.”
“The age of oil must come. We must prepare.”
war too.
You should also be prepared.
“How’s the Balkan situation?”
“Currently, the whole world is paying attention to the actions of imperial Russia. Serbia is still watching imperial Russia. The situation in the Balkans is going to change rapidly according to the movement of Pan-Slavism.”
Veyron looked at me.
“What do you think the situation will be, Director?”
“In normal circumstances, imperial Russia will surely participate in the war. As long as they have their dream city of Constantinople, they will not be able to stand it.”
That’s not all.
“Besides, Russia will do its best to revive Sevastopol, Crimea, and the Black Sea Fleet, under normal circumstances.”
“Is it normal?”
Pan-Slavism.
Tsarist Russia was holding its head, but on the contrary, the British Empire was holding it by the collar of deflation.
Imperial Russia will want to focus all its attention on the Balkans at any moment.
Especially in Crimea and Sevastopol on the Black Sea coast, your eyes will be turned upside down.
You may be dreaming of becoming a splendid subordinate in the Black Sea Fleet.
“It will start soon.”
The British Empire as far as I know.
if that hate.
I’ll never let it be like that.
“Are you starting?”
“Vyron, you may be busy for a while. As soon as the weapons of the New York Ordnance Agency are available, deliver them to the Venezuelan government. Provide equal supply to both suppliers.”
“Fairly?”
“Yes, I think the incumbent President Castro is in control of the Venezuelan military regime, but the power of the military is the Vice President Gomez. Castro couldn’t handle the armed uprising, so he joined hands with his friend Gomez.”
“Are you going to separate them?”
“Parting? Me?”
No.
It’s not me who separates
“The division has already begun.”
The moment the US Navy brought the Great White Fleet.
To line us up, Venezuela is quickly beginning to diverge between the vice-presidential line and the presidential line.
The Venezuelan military is split in half.
Even armed uprising forces are calling out everywhere. Maracaibo, whom we occupied, wants independence.
“Venezuela will soon be in chaos. The United States already has the cause, the resources and the troops. Venezuela will soon become America’s playground.”
“…that’s terrifying.”
“Have you not seen Panama?”
Panama.
Last year, JP Morgan Bank and the White House collaborated to make Panama independent from Colombia.
Seeing that Panama became independent in 1903 similar to Wonyeoksarang, this trend seems to follow.
“I think my father was also in the right place. He has a moth on his body, so he’s focused on a business like the Panama Canal. There’s no workaholic.”
“Uh… What the director will say is…”
“What did you just say?”
“no.”
Veyron looked at me with an innocent face that said he knew nothing.
“Anyway, Venezuela is planning to take over to the US military soon. Now it is the domain of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Navy. Not the Ministry of Finance and Treasury. Just give your support.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“We make a plan. Then the army will act. It is an immutable law in the age of imperialism.”
The National Health Insurance has pointed it out to Roosevelt.
Perhaps if something happens in Europe soon, we will observe the level and discuss it at an appropriate time.
The US Navy has already taken the lead in Venezuela.
Venezuela has come too far to turn the tables.
It just quietly sucks.
So be independent for America. Maracaibo, Julia (state name).
‘It’s a terrible relationship with oil. No, it’s a relationship.’
Imperial Russia, Great Britain, Venezuela.
Bra Novel, Standard Oil, Gulf Oil.
In addition, all the various powers around the world were linked with oil.
smart.
Just then, a knock was heard on the door of the drawing room of the Plaza Hotel.
“someone?”
“Secretary of the Ministry of Finance. Minister.”
“What’s going on?”
I turned towards the door.
Veyron also swallowed his saliva and stared at the door.
There was silence outside the door for a moment.
And the voice was heard again.
“The British Secretary of the Treasury, Robert, has contacted me over a secret line to see you briefly.”
It seemed a little rushed.
I smiled at the secretary’s next words.
“Director, the fact that the British Empire has contacted you…”
“You said you were going to be busy for a while.”
After answering Veyron, I opened the door without delay.
“I’m going back to Washington right now.”
