"The scenery here is good, don't you consider developing real estate here?" Looking at the beautiful Dawan, Natalia's eyes narrowed into crescents. She looked at the dilapidated buildings here. The contrast was too obvious.

"If you don't consider it, you will lose money!" Sheffield shook his head without thinking, "Let's talk about it later. Operations in the Great West are currently centered on Los Angeles, so it's not worth considering."

When I really came to San Francisco, Sheffield was reminded that there was a magnitude 8 earthquake in this city at the beginning of the century. Real estate was developed here. Once the magnitude 8 earthquake hit, the United Company might consider closing down.

Because of its mineral resources, although San Francisco's population on paper is about the same as that of Los Angeles, its actual population is much larger than that of Los Angeles. The extra population is naturally illegal immigrants. However, due to Sheffield's efforts to catch Chinese workers harvesting wool, they are regarded as illegal immigrants.

It can be said that very few of the largest group of immigrants, the Chinese workers, have been used.

The natural result of this is that in recent years, other cities in the United States have made rapid economic progress, but San Francisco's population growth has been far inferior to that of the original population. The population has continued to decline. Naturally, San Francisco's development is still stagnating, with no change from a few years ago. If

To say yes, it is actually more depressed.

The urban area faces the sea on three sides, so Hearst naturally does not have the foundation to build his own manor like the wealthy people in other cities. His residence is a large villa by the sea, with a panoramic view of the bay.

Before he arrived at the villa, a carload of bodyguards who followed him all year round had already cleared the road. Many people were standing directly outside Hearst's villa, and ten people followed him directly into Hearst's villa.

"I just heard about it before, but I really didn't think that the rumor was true. Wouldn't it be troublesome for Mr. William to bring so many people with him?" Hearst saw a guest making such a big noise, and he couldn't laugh or cry as soon as they met.

complained.

"It's better to be in trouble than to die. This world is so terrible. Even the president was assassinated." Sheffield entered the villa, took off his black gloves, slapped them twice, and reached out to hold Natalia's hand.

Let the girl sit down first.

Mentioning the assassination of William McKinley, Hester's face turned blue and white. The assassination of the president was his biggest worry recently, because William Bryan lost to William McKinley again. After the election, his

The newspapers did publish inflammatory reports calling for the assassination of the victor, William McKinley.

That was just a report venting anger. Among the news that is currently flooding the media field of the United States, it is not that serious. At least during the Spanish-American War, he and Pulitzer fabricated news that the Spanish fleet landed in New York.

A regular piece of news, not eye-catching at all.

But he never imagined that nearly a year later, President William McKinley would actually be assassinated, and the murderer would be holding in his hands the reprint of the news originally published in his newspaper. This was simply an unreasonable disaster.

"Mr. William, you are laughing at me. This is not what a gentleman should do." Hester said in a subtle way, "You must know that a few months ago, you also encountered this kind of pressure from public opinion.

."

"Otherwise, I should thank you, but this does not delay my gloating. We Texans are so real. If you don't like it, you don't like it. And I have nothing to do with any gentleman. Who doesn't know that I am a slave?

Lord?" Sheffield raised his eyebrows and continued to mock, "I am very grateful to Mr. Hester for sacrificing himself for others. That's why I came to visit you today. Your newspapers now have no credibility at all, including the San Francisco Examiner.

Eight newspapers including the one have been exposed, and now I have an idea, you sell your media group to me, so that you can get rid of the trap."

Sheffield pretended to be reserved and spoke as if he was thinking about you, hoping that Hester would stop struggling to his death and quickly agree to cut his flesh and leave without losing everything.

"You want to annex my media group?" Hester was shocked. He didn't expect that the distinguished guest he was waiting for had this purpose. He flatly refused, "Impossible. Mr. William seems to have got the wrong target. I have my own ability to resist risks.

ability.”

"Your ability to withstand risks? You don't mean the Chinese Exclusion Act, do you? Haha!" Sheffield laughed directly, "The leader of the California Workers' Party back then seemed to be an Irish immigrant like you. Although California was

The Republican Party is in control, but for the purpose of blood being thicker than water, as a supporter of the Democratic Party, you work with the California Workers Party to get the Republican Party to support your Chinese Exclusion Bill. It is really complicated to say. Several unrelated people

forces, jointly promoted the Chinese Exclusion Act, and forced Washington to agree to your ideas? Is there anything similar now?"

With the accusations that Hearst is facing now, let alone trying to win the support of the federal government, not being suppressed by the federal government can be regarded as saving his life.

Regarding the early conflicts between the Irish and the Chinese, Sheffield did not want to say more. After all, any reason to defend the Chinese could not be agreed by the citizenry. The citizens of the United States in this era were not white and left-wing, and it was difficult to trust a completely unfamiliar ethnic group.

Furthermore, Sheffield is also xenophobic, and the scale of the platoon is even larger.

The conflict between the Irish and the Chinese was a conflict between the two groups at the bottom of society because of the competition for jobs. The Irish were also discriminated against by the European powers. Later, the problem of intermarriage appeared. In the early days, the ratio of Chinese men to women was seriously imbalanced. Many Chinese men were married to

When women of other ethnic groups get married, it is mainly Irish women who are marginalized.

This has become the main target of attack by the Irish. Sheffield can understand Hearst's original actions, so he is not ready to accuse the other party of pushing the Chinese Exclusion Act. His current reason is that there is no reason and he simply wants to annex the other party's industry.

Now awaiting Hearst's approval.

However, Sheffield just mentioned it casually, but Hester did not let go of the problem and said, "It seems that Mr. William has always had a pretty good impression of the Chinese? He has always used Chinese workers in violation of the law."

"I will use anyone who asks me to save costs! Now let me give you back the boast you just made. When it comes to using Chinese workers, I have enough ability to withstand risks. But when it comes to the assassination of the president, you are just pretending.

I have this ability, but in fact I don’t have it at all.”

Sheffield crossed his fingers and leaned on the sofa, looking like he had everything under control. He felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw others struggling to death. As for both of them being supporters of the Democratic Party, what can I say about this?

Slave owners have always beaten heretics first and then pagans. When fighting against foreigners, they must first pacify the inside.

Besides, he is a descendant of the British. Isn't it normal to continue to deal with the Irish on another occasion?

Sheffield thought he had expressed the greatest kindness, but Hester didn't think so and said, "What if I just don't want to?"

"Mr. Hester, you are making things difficult for William!" Natalia glanced at Sheffield and persuaded softly, "It's not too late for you to hand over your media and newspapers now. You can continue to devote yourself to other industries with the money.

. It won’t be awkward for everyone to meet in the future. If the attitude is like now, things may not end so easily. After you withdraw from the media field, you can publicly apologize and turn around as a gentleman. I believe the public will forgive you for your mistakes. If you continue,

Things are uncertain."

"Haha, a woman is threatening me." Hester chuckled. He felt like he was starring in an absurd comedy today. Now he felt like he was in a dream and didn't want to believe that this was true.

Sheffield didn't like hearing this, "This woman is my woman, Mr. Hurst, please pay attention to this. Since you insist on knowing what the consequences will be if you don't want to, then I will say so. Now

The total number of newspapers in your hands is eleven, and two of them have been established for less than three months. Citizens may not know everything now, but it doesn’t matter, I will let them know everything. By then, the sales volume of your newspapers will increase.

Big drop.”

"If you still don't agree, I can only compare your connections in the Democratic Party. Although there are local political parties in our country, it is indeed a two-party country. Because of your newspaper, the Republican president has been assassinated.

, then on the Republican side, your image has been fixed. Now we are considering issues on the Democratic side."

Sheffield stood up and walked into the living room of the villa. As he walked, he walked around behind Hearst and patted the other party on the shoulder. "As a de facto two-party country, the attitude of the Democratic Party is very important. Although you and I

We are all supporters of the Democratic Party, but your influence is mainly in the west, while my influence is in the southern states. You are also someone who has followed many elections. You should know what the southern base means to the Democratic Party?"

Hurst stiffened. He understood what Sheffield meant. For the Democratic Party, supporters in the southern states were related to the question of whether the Democratic Party could still exist. Democratic supporters in the western states would not make the Democratic Party feel

Death, if Sheffield wants to move up and down and let the Democratic Party cut off from him, his dream of being political can be said to have ended prematurely.

"You, you can't do this..." Hester spoke with difficulty, each word coming out as if he had exhausted a lot of energy.

Sheffield's hands patted Hester's shoulders rhythmically, as if comforting a frightened kitten, and said softly, "Mr. Hester, of course I can do this. You forgot, your newspaper also
