Chapter fifty-six each has a ghost
Sheffield had unknowingly addressed the other party by his name, and his shameless face of flattering others and defying others was vividly displayed. The other party was the richest man in the United States and the emperor of the oil industry.
If he really wanted to cooperate with a company in the north, Sheffield couldn't think of anyone more suitable than Rockefeller. In fact, for most of the history of the United States, Morgan was actually stronger than Rockefeller. After all, the Morgan family predates Rockefeller.
It has been rising for decades. Don’t underestimate these decades. It can determine many things.
If it weren't for the existence of old Rockefeller, who was like a loophole in the system, Morgan could be said to be unrivaled in running the United States. However, Rockefeller's descendants obviously did not repeat the mistakes of his early partner, the railroad king Vanderbilt, and the five Rockefeller brothers appeared in the descendants.
Such a talented person.
The current Rockefeller family can be said to be the most powerful period in family history. The elder Rockefeller continued to expand his business territory until his death. And it has been forty years since the elder Rockefeller died of illness.
Just like what Lafayette said, Sheffield knew that the previous generations of controllers of the Rockefeller family had only two wishes. The first was to make money, and then use the money earned to live a long life. The young Rockefeller opposite him was already the shortest-lived member of the Rockefeller family.
The controller left us prematurely at the age of eighty-five.
The youngest of the five sons of Rockefeller Jr. lived to be 101 years old, successfully breaking the record of the elder Rockefeller. When the heart transplant surgery was mature, he had six hearts in his life, which fully demonstrated what it means to use money.
Buy longevity.
As for the origin of these hearts, who knows? Anyway, aren’t there many people in this world who trade their lives for money?
At this stage, there is no more powerful ally than Rockefeller. Although Sheffield wants to go further and establish his family's status in the United States, he is not so stubborn that he will directly target Rockefeller. The soldiers have not been cleared.
, facing the big BOSS directly, this kind of operation is unthinkable.
And unlike industries that can be crushed by introducing European technology, Rockefeller's oil industry is really not that easy to crush. The modern oil industry itself originated in the United States. When the oil industry first emerged, Rockefeller was one of them.
It can be said that Sheffield can't even find foreign aid for various technologies compared to the oil industry. Even if it attracts foreign aid, it can't defeat the Rockefeller family.
The industrial moat of Rockefeller can be said to be extremely strong! Complete imperialism in business.
Regarding the matter of cooperation, Sheffield agreed in principle. A hint of joy flashed in young Rockefeller's eyes. The family had been planning to enter Texas for a long time. If they wanted to enter Texas, Sheffield, a large farmer, could not get around it.
Now that I have the approval of the Texas farmer, it can be said that the job is half done. "It is an honor for me to get help from the Sheffield family."
"As long as there is mutual respect for cooperation, it is also an honor for the Sheffield family." Sheffield said with a pun, but did not want to replicate Pennsylvania's dark history of squeezing out competitors.
"Of course we respect each other! Rockefeller has his own business credit! He has always respected strong partners." Young Rockefeller understood what the other party meant and at the same time made his own guarantee.
The two people facing each other had the name of a family flashing through their minds, the railroad kings, the Vanderbilt family. Once a family showed signs of decline, competitors would swarm in like sharks smelling blood.
Rockefeller had several partners in his early years. Among them, the Vanderbilt family, the railroad king, gave the Rockefeller family a lot of help. As for the current Vanderbilt family, it is in obvious decline. The reason why it still has a strong presence is just that the Vanderbilt family still has a strong presence.
The fortune left behind by the De Bilt family is so huge that it cannot be completely defeated in a short period of time.
The enviable Vanderbilt family in the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of many people who started their own businesses at the same time, is now just a conversation piece. Ten years ago, the second generation of the Vanderbilt family leader William Henry Vander
After Bilt's death, the entire Vanderbilt family fell into endless displays of wealth, partying and building mansions.
Of course, according to later generations, this kind of life was very European, and it was indeed very European. The Vanderbilt family even married into the British aristocracy and married their daughter to Churchill's cousin.
Vanderbilt's manor is decorated in a completely French style. The hall is in the splendid Louis XIV style, and the living room is decorated with stained glass windows and hardwood benches that were removed from the monastery, etc. Many murals were also chiselled from France and affixed to the ceiling.
superior.
Vanderbilt represents another side of America's wealthy people, who admire the life of the aristocrats of European countries, just like a hundred years later, many business tycoons in the Republic tried their best to live a more American life.
"Actually, you are still very popular in the United States. There will be countless rich people around you." For the success of this communication, Rockefeller Jr. held a rare small banquet to entertain Mr. Rockefeller, who had just returned to the country.
The heir to the Sheffield family, this would never have been allowed when the old Rockefeller was at the manor.
"Really, but I have never felt valued and cared for in front of you!" Anne glanced at Sheffield.
"This is different!" Sheffield shook his head slightly and glanced at the young Rockefeller not far away, thinking to himself, it would be great if the heir to the Rockefeller family was just like his sister.
Edith Rockefeller, sister of Rockefeller Jr., had just married McCormick, whose father was Cyrus McCormick, the harvester inventor and founder of the International Harvester Company. Purchased by Rockefeller
acquired a stake in International Harvester worth approximately $30 million.
However, this princess of the Rockefeller family has a reputation similar to that of the heir to the Vanderbilt family. She likes to live a European life the most.
Almost at the same time, little Rockefeller's cryptic eyes moved away from the sour man and woman, and he cursed in his heart, "It would be great if this heir of the Sheffield family could be like his father in Paris."
"Just have a small sip, and have a drink in honor of my closest friend from now on!" Sheffield raised his glass with a gentle smile.
