Chapter 566 Morgan's sister
"I thought you were worried about Standard Oil's donation!" Rockefeller Jr. sighed, "You really don't care about me building hospitals in China and Standard Oil returning to the citizens' criticism?"
"This is not the first time Standard Oil has done this. What is there to say? Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test" Sheffield chuckled and said, "What is a citizen? Can this abstract concept of citizenship be taken as a whole? Mexico's
Are citizens citizens? It means that nothing belongs to them except the skin on their bodies. When you and I want to do something, will it be their turn to oppose it? Do they deserve it? If we express this idea truly
It’s boring, but that’s the truth.”
Is this a matter worthy of concern? Not to mention that Rockefeller Jr. just spent 10 million US dollars to build a hospital. Even if it is ten times higher, citizens have no right to make irresponsible remarks. Rockefeller Jr. and Sheffield are the rulers, and citizens are
are ruled. The former are capitalists, the latter are nothing more than slaves.
Today, the United States does not have much influence, but tobacco king James Duke has moved most of his production to China. The tobacco king is just an international pioneer of the capitalists in the United States. A hundred years later, this kind of thing will happen everywhere
yes
If you want to re-industrialize and bring back manufacturing, you need to make some considerations from the perspective of employment and national security. But your capitalist country must have some capitalist literacy. The price of labor is set by the market. The price is too low for citizens.
And you are not willing to do it. If the price is too high, the capitalists would rather close the factory than let you do it. Why is this? Why are citizens pretending to be naive? The market points its finger at you and tells you that you are not worth the money.
The wealth created by the citizens of this country can no longer be satisfied by the operation of large enterprises. Enterprises such as United Company and Standard Oil want to exploit the whole world, not a certain country. If one day you have to choose between the two
, conscience will tell Sheffield to choose the latter, but he will choose the former without hesitation.
For capital, it is absolutely undesirable to sit back and have nothing. Sheffield does not want his company to fall into the same fate as the Vanderbilt family. He must choose a carrier with a larger quantity. If he wants to choose the latter, the consumption of the United States must occupy the entire world.
half, so this matter is unsolvable.
So when it comes to donations, if Rockefeller Jr. likes it, he can do whatever he wants. Sheffield pretends that he doesn't know about it, but the Republican Party is more important because this party is already part of the national party.
For a purely capitalist country like the United States, there are three forces that are extremely important. They constitute the ruling class of the United States, financial groups, parties and media public opinion. For the electoral system, media public opinion is very important.
Before the United States had grown into a complete entity, Sheffield had already adapted in advance. The United Company itself was a consortium, a die-hard supporter of the Democratic Party, and the newly integrated League of Nations. Slave owners did not dare to say that the Trinity was impeccable, but every important
Each part has its own share.
The reason why we are talking to Rockefeller Jr. now is because of the strong support behind the party and the consortium issue. If used properly, it can weaken the Republican Party to a certain extent.
Young Rockefeller didn't know about President Alton Parker's stroke. He was shocked when Sheffield revealed it. He said to himself with a frown, "William Bryan? Theodore Roosevelt? These two people are so annoying."
"Hmm, that's the problem!" Sheffield nodded sullenly, congratulating Rockefeller for realizing the seriousness of the matter, but he didn't forget to add, "We all know that they are the same person, but their perceptions are still different.
Yes, Roosevelt was president, but Bryan was not. If the two of them faced off head-to-head, Roosevelt would have a higher winning rate. Maybe the antitrust bill against Standard Oil will be restarted soon."
Sheffield was not completely trying to scare his brother-in-law. In history, it was almost in the past few years that Standard Oil finally withstood rounds of antitrust lawsuits and was dismantled by the federal government.
"You mean you are not optimistic about President Alton Parker's health?" Rockefeller Jr. glanced at Sheffield suspiciously and sighed, "What a pity. Such a good president has created a fully competitive environment for citizens.
Although it seems a little early now, there is nothing wrong with talking about it. Let me ask you again, you really are not optimistic about the president's health."
Lowering tariffs and introducing European companies to compete in the U.S. market is not a fatal danger at all for trust companies of Standard Oil's level. The fatal danger is and has always been antitrust law! Little Rockefeller's impression of the current Democratic administration is still
Very good.
"I won't put my hope on luck? I know you have the best doctors in your hands, and your doctors are already able to study brain diseases?" Sheffield forced a smile. What was the level of doctors in the early 20th century?
Arlington also has the most authoritative gunshot wound specialist in the country. Are slave owners proud?
Young Rockefeller was a little embarrassed. Of course, it was impossible for his doctors to study such a sophisticated tissue of the brain. He said dryly, "As long as you have time, any problem can be overcome."
It has not been conquered even after a hundred years. Sheffield scratched his scalp and said, "Can it be conquered within two years? Look, don't look like this. Out of friendship, I want to go along with what you say, but that's not true.
"
Young Rockefeller came to Sheffield, Rockefeller Manor with a sullen face, and was already defined as an uninvited guest at this moment. Criticizing his doctor in his manor was simply too much.
Talking about business, the two of them agreed that in order to avoid Theodore Roosevelt's confrontation with William Bryan, little Morgan must not be excluded from this matter. The attitude of the Morgan family is also very important.
Since the financial crisis, Morgan Sr. has faded out of the public eye, and Morgan Jr. has replaced his father on Wall Street. This transition will not damage the Morgan family's status on Wall Street. When Dang Sheffield and Rockefeller Jr. came to visit, Morgan Jr.
A beautiful antique vase is being polished. The pattern on it makes Sheffield know its place of origin at a glance.
"You father and son have so similar hobbies." Sheffield put his hands in his pockets, dressed in a black suit and a top hat, giving the slave owner the feeling of a tramp.
"You also said that we are father and son." Little Morgan frowned and hesitated, which aroused little Rockefeller's curiosity. "You seem to be a little unwelcome to our arrival."
"It's not that I'm not welcome, I'm afraid that I won't be able to welcome you today." Little Morgan showed a rare wry smile, "You guys are really good at picking the time today. Forget it, you're all here."
"I think you are still not welcome!" Sheffield summed it up accurately, "We are afraid that we will find out if you have any shameful things to do. We are all friends on the same level and will keep your secrets."
Little Morgan ignored Sheffield, the slave owner's dirty joke, and asked the two of them the purpose of their arrival. Without saying a few words, the door to the office was pushed open, and a man wearing black high boots, a mink coat, and a
The girl in the lady's top hat walked in. Sheffield took a look and saw that her figure was the same as that of Edith Rockefeller, but her facial contour was more neutral, with some shadows of Isabella Sheffield.
He also said that there was nothing shameful. Just when Sheffield was about to start teasing, the woman who came in frowned and looked at little Morgan and said, "Brother, why are there other people in your office? Didn't you mean..."
"These two are the bosses of Union Company and Standard Oil. Pay attention before you speak." Little Morgan interrupted the woman, introduced the identities of the two guests, and then introduced the woman who came in, "My sister, Louisa Morgan
!A lawless woman is ridiculous.”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Sheffield swallowed back the teasing that was on his lips, and said a little uncomfortable, "We came here in a hurry today. You are right. How about we come back tomorrow."
"That's no need! It turns out to be an oil king and a car king. I wonder why my brother is so nervous." Louisa Morgan raised her head slightly, revealing her white neck and said, "Are you Edith's man?"
"Well, you can think so." Old Sheffield blushed. Although this was a fact known to many people, when it was said on such an occasion, the slave owner seemed a little unprepared for his shamelessness.
Louisa Morgan's eyes flashed with a relatively candid message, and then she turned to little Morgan and said, "Brother, my father asked me to come and get the accounts regarding the investment in the British White Star Shipping Company. The Olympic has been built, and the Titanic has been built."
The work has started in an orderly manner. During this period, there has been an accident involving worker casualties, and the matter must be dealt with immediately. Apart from investing a certain amount of energy in hobbies, my father has no expenses at all. Don't stop this."
"Titanic?" As soon as Sheffield heard the name, such a thunderous name still made him couldn't help but repeat it. Louisa Morgan's ears were very good and she didn't mean to be disturbed at all. She said attentively, "William
Sir, please don’t be worried. The main business of Silver Transportation Company is passenger ships, and there is no business conflict with your Black Gold Transportation Company. As far as I know, Black Gold Transportation Company does not transport people most of the time except for very rare times."
Is this woman scolding me? Sheffield's face changed for a while. It sounded fine, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that he was mocking himself. What does it mean that except for a few times, most of the time he is unlucky? What does this mean?
