＜ A small ball launched by the War Department. (2) >
I returned to my office on Wall Street with a letter from Wells Fargo’s Chairman Tevis.
The letter stated that he had secured a comprehensive set of loans, bonds, and stocks from the Holt Manufacturing Company, so the only thing left to do now was to go see him.
“James. I’m going to take a train to California, and my dad can give me a BNSF train ticket because it’s a test run or whatever.”
“yes. It will probably not be difficult to get.”
Benjamin Holt.
It would be best if we could invest in this person who first commercialized caterpillars and the Holt manufacturing company at this opportunity.

Of course, the patent should belong to the company, not to Benjamin himself.
“Bocchan, the chairman has prepared a special room for the BNSF express train.”
“Did BNSF have an express?”
“no. It wasn’t in the original plan, but I think he got the idea from the master’s suggestion.”
“Well, express trains would be easy if you just touch the tracks. There are only a few railways belonging to the BNSF.”
It will probably be easy.

Orient Express came to mind for a moment, but I erased it from my mind. you will do well I just have to focus on my job rather than the railroad company.
“for a moment.”
“yes?”
“……BNSF. Wasn’t that a freight train? Why is there an express like a passenger train? It was so natural that I almost passed on it.”

Of course, I was also at fault for wishing for passengers on the freight train. But what the heck is Chairman Morgan, who built an express train on a freight railroad in a matter of days?
“There are too many tracks left. I was thinking about how to deal with it, and then I turned to the passenger railroad.”
“Then what about the car? Passengers and cargo are different vehicles, right?”
“…….Yes?”
James looked at me with a grim look.
“Are you President Morgan?”
“ah.”
I hit my forehead.
If it was the level of financial power of Chairman Morgan, it was enough to purchase the passenger railroad companies. I’m not a poor person with money, but I’m an investor when it comes to investing.
It reminded me of the railroad.
“James, did a lot of people gather in the new railroad fund?”
It had already been over a month since the public offering of the railroad fund. Thanks to the preemptive purchase right, it sucked in investors like a vacuum cleaner in the beginning, but I don’t know how it is now.
The hedge fund’s alpha and omega. It was managed with a short-selling fund with a long-short strategy.
‘At the same time, I’ve been busy with school life, so I’ve only made a system and haven’t been paying attention.’
“It’s $70 million in total. Perhaps a Wall Street investor would have signed up for one of the rail funds or the short-selling fund.”
“Is that enough?”
“…..The long-short strategy suggested by the master. It’s a great strategy. Investors are flocking to see the return.”
James pulled out a report with a plot of returns and handed it to me.
I rubbed my eyes at the report.
‘A 50% rate of return for a month? Is it an error?’
Well.
In fact, the stocks of Continental Railways, which are called the Big 4 in the railroad industry, were obtained cheaply with the right to purchase, and trading with insider information was not yet illegal, so it was a possible number.
‘You were underestimating the late 19th century stock market full of the heart of the beast.’
“James, for the time being, let the Wall Street Journal disclose the returns of rail funds and short-selling funds. You have to paddle when the water comes in.”
“Yes, I will tell Charles Dow.”
I picked up my coat.
“If this is the case, both the railroad fund and the railroad company seem to be doing well. Let’s go to California.”
***
“…..Well.”
moon crack.
He raised his teacup in an awkward position and moistened his lips. Obviously I was going to California on the BNSF Express, but an unexpected guest came.
A strong middle-aged man sitting in front of me was staring at me with cold eyes.
“Mr. Benjamin Holt?”
“That’s right.”
“Hey, why did you come to the hedge fund headquarters?”
It must have been quite a distance from California to New York, but didn’t that come to me almost as soon as Wells Fargo took over loans, bonds and stocks?
Benjamin Holt smirked.
“Why did you come? well you know better When I stopped by the banks in California, I didn’t say that you took over everything.”
“……okay.”
This human being, even in the original history, was hung up on patent litigation. This kind of work is like a knife. Besides, it was a bloodline from the pioneering west, so the horses were just sloppy.
“Well, actually, I was just about to go out to meet Mr. Holt. With this express train ticket.”
I fluttered the ticket.
“What do you want by doing this?”
“It is a Holt manufacturing company. To be precise, you, Mr. Benjamin Holt.”
“Are you talking about me?”
“Don’t take the shichimi. The fact that you are the main engineer of Holt Manufacturing has already been investigated.”
“Hmm… that’s right.”
Benjamin Hoult brushed his beard.
“Seeing you talking to me, not the company, it seems like they want to make something for me.”
“!”
‘Is it good for me to open?’
In an instant, his head turned rapidly.
Maybe it’s more advantageous to negotiate to tell Benjamin Hoult that he wants to develop a caterpillar.
Benjamin Holt does not have the technology right now, only the history of developing it later. Even now, there are over 100 patents for caterpillars worldwide.
This novel was posted at https://noblemtl.com
Of course, all of them were unsuccessful in commercialization.
After all, it is only Holt in the early 20th century that succeeds in development.
And I was determined to pull that time a bit further.
“It’s an infinite orbit. Would it be more accurate to say that it is a crawler-type tractor?”
“……!!!”
Benjamin Holt opened his eyes and looked at me as if he had found his own secret diary.
It must have been a plan in his head as Benjamin Holt had not yet started the full-scale development of caterpillars.
“Have you heard from your brother? No, no. My brother is more thorough in business than me, so I can’t tell you. Then how?”
“Recently, we have received information that Europe is going to collect data on caterpillars.”
“About me? Have you been digging behind me?”
“Oh, please don’t get me wrong. I didn’t do your research, I just found out about the caterpillars.”
In fact, I never dreamed that it would have been investigated in a history book of the 21st century.
“We will tell you the details once we receive the investment. Of course, on the condition that Mr. Benjamin Holt owns the patent to this company.”
“It belongs to you.”
“However, we will take care of the fee. Of course, I can arrange all the necessary funds for patent purchase, engineering facilities and funds necessary for research, and networks for industry-university cooperation. First of all, I am a member of the Morgan House.”
“……!!!”
Benjamin Holt’s eyes widened. He was so embarrassed that he dropped the cigar in his mouth to the ground. He didn’t know that I was of the Morgan family.
‘Oh, isn’t there an article about Detroit Morgan or hedge funds in California?’
“Did you not know?”
“Oh, no. I knew you were the head of a hedge fund called Wall Street hero, and even had the name Detroit, but I never thought your last name was Morgan.”
First impressions made good in unexpected places.
Benjamin Holt pulled out a new cigar and folded his arms. He thought about it for a while, then opened his eyes and looked at me.
His gaze had softened a lot.
“May I know what it feels like to be a research facility?”
‘ah.’
It’s a heavenly ball.
I just recognized the type of human being Benjamin Holt in a nutshell. If you ask an investor who wants to invest in research facilities before the amount, it’s almost always a no-brainer.
I knew it well because I was the type of person who experienced a lot in Silicon Valley in the 21st century.
‘It would be much better to open all of this without hiding it.’
I sparingly took out all the secret weapons I had been hiding in the chest.
“In our hedge fund, we also acquired the International Harvest Agricultural Machinery Trust from JP Morgan Bank and own it. Agricultural machinery-related technologies are probably piled up like a mountain. We will open it all up, so you can use it.”
“…..!!!”
Benjamin Holt’s eyes widened. Hey, your eyes are shining
Shall I push it a little more?
“In addition, we have the North American business rights of DWM and share the technology, so we have a lot of the German Empire’s technological prowess. You can use them all if you want.”
“DEAL.”
game over.
Benjamin Holt’s eyes completely returned to the words of the German Empire’s technological prowess. In his abyss he felt the madness of the gongdori.
I asked with an innocent face.
“Already? Why don’t you take a closer look at the contract? I came here prepared to wrestle with the terms of the contract all day long.”
“Oh, damn it. Put it all away and give me the contract.”
Perhaps it was because he was taking the medicine so well, Holt’s hand was trembling like a drug withdrawal symptom.
“Because I’m dizzy.”
So I got Gongmillet, no, Gongdol No.1.
***
“Are you okay? Even if we take over all the stock.”
The contract was signed quickly.
I paid off all the loans and bonds of the Holt Manufacturing Company, and I own 100% of the formula on condition of investment in research expenses.
In fact, I even thought about exercising 51% of my voting rights by adding up to 41% of the shares I received through Wells Fargo and 10% of the shares I received through Wells Fargo.
It ended ridiculously easy.
“What do you do with stocks? only my head hurts There are stock options conditions anyway, and even if it belongs to the company, you can get a fee for the patent, so it’s the best. It’s heaven.”
“haha.”
“Honestly, it was my dream to do research without worrying about money, and it came true thanks to you. I don’t think the hedge fund will run out of money. Besides, it’s Morgan House, isn’t it?”
“You don’t have to worry about money.”
“Excellent.”
‘Because I’ve seen you succeed from the future.’
And I know very well what Gongdol likes the most. tell me if you need anything Tell me about Wannabe’s lab, and I’ll prepare everything for you.
“But when you introduce DWM to me, does that mean that you are also interested in the military industry?”
“you’re right.”
“Use the caterpillar tractor for the military industry. It would be best if it was used for transportation.”
Chic-
Holt pulled out a cigar.
“Our Holt manufacturing company has already developed a steam-powered tractor. It would be better to have a steam engine tractor equipped with a track than to transport the artillery on horseback in the mud.”
Holt’s eyesight was correct.
It is true that the Holt tractor became the forerunner of the tank in World War I, but in fact, it was used more for transport such as artillery transport.
Because the number of Holt tractors purchased by the Allied Forces alone exceeded 10,000.
“Of course, I have plans to sell it for transportation. But there are other reasons why I want caterpillars.”
“Any other reason?”
I pulled my upper body.
Now that was the point.
“Have you ever heard of a train?”
