Before Leaving

The meeting between Poul Nielsen and Morgan concluded in the agreement of Morgan investing in the oil company they'd want to establish.

"Oh, Mr. Morgan. I wonder how this will affect your relationship with Mr. Rockefeller knows the fact that you also invested in his oil company?" Poul asked.

"Well, it is indeed true that I invested millions of dollars into Rockefeller's oil business and he might get disappointed in me but I couldn't care about his feelings. You see, I'm also a businessman, a popular saying in the business world is quote 'Don't put all your eggs in a basket, and I believe that investing in multiple oil companies would diversify my portfolio and increase my potential for profit," Morgan replied with a smirk.

Poul chuckled at Morgan's response. "You are a shrewd businessman indeed, Mr. Morgan. I admire your strategy."
