Chapter 150 Fighting each other
"Edith, you can't keep a man in your house overnight like this, and it's been so long." Little Rockefeller met his sister again, and it was not very friendly, even though the real person they were talking about happened to be today.
Not here.
For the sake of his century-old plan to build a fat house and happy water, Sheffield had already left Edith Rockefeller's villa in the morning, leaving little Rockefeller in the dark. But it didn't matter, he still had something to say to his sister.
Even if he paid no attention to Edith Rockefeller's life, the younger Rockefeller would still realize later that McCormick and Edith's marriage was already in turmoil, and the news had already been exposed in the media. It had already been reported.
You have to listen to your own ears to know about the marriage of two people, but it is a major event in upper class society. Once something goes wrong, it may be talked about for several years.
"Are you talking to me like the boss of Standard Oil? John..." Edith Rockefeller glanced at her brother and asked without giving in, "Didn't I create benefits for the family after I got married?
Or have I ruined the reputation of the Rockefeller family in some way? I have already completed my work and followed my father’s orders to marry. What else can I do but turn a blind eye to McCormick’s affair? Be a complete tool? Even myself
Can’t even keep the last name?”
"The reason why you are happier than me is that you are the only boy of this generation. You are no less lucky than William Sheffield. The world is so unfair. Just because I am a girl, I have to obey orders and sacrifice for the company. And
Out of love for my family, I did obey orders, but I can't be a tool. McCormick refuses to share any glory with me. I can't accept this, so let's get divorced!"
Edith Rockefeller said categorically, "I have been busy cutting up the property recently. I am not going to take away anything from his family, but I cannot leave my shares to him."
"Do you know the consequences of doing this?" Little Rockefeller took a breath of cold air. He knew that his sister was actually able to do this. Almost since she became an adult, Edith Rockefeller had expressed her disapproval of herself more than once.
The main reason for envy is his status as heir.
However, although Edith Rockefeller believed that she had taken advantage of her gender, as she said, she accepted the reality and did not let the relationship between the siblings go in another direction. After a pause, the younger Rockefeller continued to persuade, "Edie
Silk, sister, William is not yet an adult. He is just seventeen years old. There are rumors and rumors. It is you who will lose your reputation because you are a woman and you are much older than William. Not to mention that the rumors about you are older than William.
He's bad."
"My dear brother, you think too much. This guy is guarding me like he's guarding a thief!" Edith Rockefeller raised the corners of her mouth slightly, hiding herself but still seizing the opportunity to reveal the true side of the hypocrite, and feeling very fulfilled.
In fact, "I don't know what's going on in the minds of Texans. Maybe the people over there are like that."
After listening to Edith Rockefeller's words, little Rockefeller breathed a sigh of relief for no reason. It seemed that it was not too late and things had not gotten out of hand. If he went upstairs to the bedroom now, he would find that the messy room showed that things were far from over.
As optimistic as he estimated.
Before Sheffield came back, the confrontation between the siblings had ended. As an outsider, he naturally didn't notice any clues. In fact, he only went out when there was really something important, otherwise he would never be exposed to the Yankee territory.
After saying hello to Little Rockefeller, Sheffield sat down and deliberately chose a place far away. He looked like a serious person who pretended to be like Edith Rockefeller.
After some insinuations from Rockefeller Jr., Sheffield easily resolved the situation with a calmness that was not under the leadership of Yue, and then Rockefeller Jr. asked how his life in Chicago was recently and how he was doing.
Life was so good, and he even managed to become the brother-in-law of his partner! Sheffield chirped, complaining about the weather in Chicago, from the temperature to the smog, "I originally thought there were no benefits to smoking, but when I arrived in Chicago, compared to
There was thick smoke in the air, but I still chose to smoke actively, after all, the cigar tasted pretty good.”
"Why didn't I find you so humorous before?" Little Rockefeller said congratulations as if he was meeting Sheffield for the first time, but did not see his sister's eyes roll, "Now the businessmen of the United States are full of praise for the innovation of the sales model, and many companies
In the eyes of everyone, William, you are a rising business star, and you have created such a huge profit through sales innovation. It is very admirable."
Young Rockefeller admired Sheffield's arms and innovation. Once the supermarket chain was launched, it achieved amazing results and shocked the entire retail market. At this time, everyone discovered that sales could still be done like this?
However, in Sheffield's eyes, this can only mean one thing. Naturally, he said it bluntly in front of Rockefeller, "This can only mean that my competitors are already on the way. I believe that within the year I will
I saw all kinds of competitors investing money to open their own supermarkets."
Do you really think that following the trend belongs only to the people of the Republic? Don’t citizens of the United States have this problem? In fact, a model similar to supermarket self-selection has appeared in various places, but the scale is not so large. Any property can adopt this model
Sale.
It’s just that no large-scale capital has entered the market yet, because what large-scale capital wants to do is not simply follow the trend. What they want to do is to plan and coordinate, improve the supply chain, and enter the market in a prosperous manner. This of course requires a period of preparation and is impossible.
Like ordinary people, they do it as soon as their brain gets hot.
But this is a matter of time, and Sheffield is not surprised by this. There is no field that is naturally famous. If he can do this, others can of course do the same. In the end, the last will be the king.
"Now William is working on acquiring a beverage company, and he has been busy with this matter these days." Edith Rockefeller said, indicating that this guest staying at my house has been very busy these days, disturbing little Rockefeller's sight.
"Really? What kind of drinks are they? They are all a bunch of liars, fooling ordinary citizens." Little Rockefeller was indeed attracted to his attention, and laughed loudly, "What a refreshing thing, the tricks in it can only deceive others.
You can’t fool me. William, you must not be fooled.”
"Supermarket chains do need a popular drink. As for whether it is effective or not, it doesn't actually matter." Sheffield has already tasted the Coca-Cola of this era. After tasting it, simply speaking, it has no internal taste...
In fact, Sheffield did not go to study Coca-Cola, but to inquire about a new Pepsi-Cola company. The reason why he went there in person was because his close savior had already gone out to investigate the situation of Coca-Cola.
After they left, Sheffield suddenly remembered that there was actually another operation. First of all, the acquisition of Coca-Cola Company was not a 100% success. The world is like this, and it is impossible for everything to go according to his wishes. Although in
In his heart, Sheffield wants everything to be based on his own ideas and is ready to take action.
Regardless of whether the acquisition of Coca-Cola will be successful or not, he will acquire the new Pepsi-Cola. It is best to acquire both companies, and then hide in the background to hype. Attract everyone's attention to these two flavors.
Approximately, among the drinks with the same color.
This is not a complete relationship between Jiaduobao and Wanglaoji. In fact, it is more similar to the relationship between the two major mobile phone manufacturers vo. The two major mobile phone manufacturers vo started out at almost the same time, and they have developed side by side from the beginning. Moreover, the two mobile phone manufacturers have
There is a shareholder behind it who holds shares in two major companies.
If Huawei hadn't come out of nowhere and entered the market with a crushing attitude, the mobile phone market in the Republic would have been dominated by these two companies. The strength of these two companies is actually superior to the Rebus brand.
Hiding behind the scenes and manipulating the two companies to compete in the arena, attracting everyone's attention. Even Rockefeller did not realize this trick at the end of the 19th century, until Standard Oil was dismantled by antitrust laws and entered the market separately, causing the Rockefeller family's wealth to skyrocket.
Only then did Rockefeller realize that excessive concentration of resources also had disadvantages.
This situation is actually even more serious in the shampoo market. Rejoice, Head & Shoulders, Pantene, and Runyan are all brands of the same company. They fight on the stage, but in fact they are all working to create profits for the same company.
In this era, fighting each other is definitely not a good choice for many giants. Because everyone is pursuing monopoly, but in the consumer goods market, Sheffield knows that direct monopoly is impossible to achieve and will also attract antitrust laws.
, we are ready to save the country through curves and use left and right fights to achieve the purpose of controlling the market.
Sheffield didn't say much, and Rockefeller Jr. didn't ask too much. He was not interested in the so-called consumer goods market. After all, he had not yet estimated the future potential. But one thing he had noticed was that in the hands of Sheffield United Company
The promotion of internal combustion engines will become a driving force for the petroleum industry.
After the younger Rockefeller learned that Sheffield was in Chicago, he came in person mainly for this purpose. He was going to talk to this partner about the development prospects of the internal combustion engine.
"I must explain, John, your vision is so sharp. Our predictions are the same. The internal combustion engine will greatly increase the importance of oil." Sheffield still hesitated in his heart, considering whether to deceive this partner, but
Chapter completed!
