Chapter 83 The First Lady of Chicago

The economy is not good at all, and it is not a big problem for people of Sheffield, but for ordinary working class, this is a big problem. In recent years, the economy itself has been in a downturn and capitalists have been unable to take care of themselves. Ordinary workers will naturally not be treated with good faces. If you really want to cause trouble, the general environment will be directly fired, which is common in this era.

Therefore, in the United States in 1895, various strikes and protests broke out one after another, and workers hoped to get more effective guarantees. However, in the context of this economic depression, it was absolutely impossible for capitalists to make concessions because they were gritting their teeth and persevering.

The economic depression was just the source of the German guests invited by Sheffield. The economic crisis was the first in Germany. Five years ago, the German stock market plummeted, and the stock price has fallen for more than two consecutive years. In more than two years, bankruptcy incidents began to occur at about 150,000, and the scale of railway construction decreased by 60%. It happened that agricultural harvests were poor.

However, the German economy has improved. I believe that the United States' economy will improve due to the overall environment in a short time.

As for what will happen after this economic depression? This question is actually very simple. The cycle of capitalism in about ten years has actually begun. It started with the overproduction in Britain sixty years ago. In 1895, it was almost carried out every ten years.

After this economic crisis, Sheffield remembers that when the next economic crisis came, the affected countries began to take the military industry as their main field, and no longer wanted to endure the mistakes of others in their eyes and were preparing to have a showdown.

Of course, this idea is still a bit far away. Germany is the source of this economic crisis and does not delay them now being the guests of the Sheffield family. The German economy has recovered and he has money to invest in the United States.

Everyone is rich, but if it really doesn't work, you can cut leeks. In fact, there are giant trusts in various industries, which are cutting leeks, so that small and medium-sized businesses can get out of the market quickly and empty out.

Sheffield believes that the land area and population of the United States are placed here, and the leeks will definitely grow faster than those of Britain, France and Germany in Europe. The fight that day when Britain, France and Germany could not stand was the chance for the United States to start soaring into the sky. After all, this is a world that is worse than bad, and the United States has capital to continue to persevere.

This is completely different from the situation a hundred years later. It is not that the United States' leeks are gone after a hundred years, but because it is overly dependent on finance, the lush leeks in the eyes of other countries are not enough for federal harvest, which is embarrassing.

"I believe that the economic depression is slowly leaving us! The German Empire's economy has improved for two years. The international environment is beneficial to economic development. There is no reason that the United States will only survive in a difficult situation!" At the party gathered with celebrities in Chicago, Sheffield met Rockefeller Jr. Regardless of whether others know him or not, she directly stated that this year's economic environment is not small but big, and the clouds of the economic depression have passed.

Rockefeller opened his mouth in surprise. This Texas landlord is really so confident? If it weren't for the other party's main project of agriculture and animal husbandry, Rockefeller would almost believe it when he saw such a confident partner! But considering that Sheffield has just been involved in the industrial field, what are you joining in the fun in front of so many celebrities? Who would believe you!

Of course, Rockefeller can also understand this trend through a professional team, but with his personality, he will not be so unrestrained. The other party has just been in the industrial field, so where does he get so confident?

After doing some social work with a group of local celebrities, Sheffield walked to Rockefeller and whispered, "I thought you wouldn't have appeared in such an occasion, after all, you are such a serious person."

"When I come to Chicago, I have to integrate. Besides, my sister married here, she likes this kind of occasion." Little Rockefeller sighed helplessly, "I will be happier when I appear. I can't tell you about the family."

A trace of weirdness flashed across Sheffield's face? What does it mean to be difficult to reveal at home? Is it involved a drama of grudges from wealthy families? Why do these upper-class people always have so many bastards who complain without any illness?

But this is not impossible. Everyone is a different individual, and everything goes smoothly if you have money. There is no shortage of people in this world who complain without illness. Maybe Rockefeller's sister is.

Of course, Rockefeller was unwilling to mention it, and Sheffield was not easy to ask. He just mentioned his confidence in preparing to show his strength. After drinking a few drinks, he went to the bathroom. Although in this righteous education of Rockefeller, he actually didn't like such noisy occasions, even the bathroom attracted him more than the hall.

"Do I want to remind him that he went wrong?" Seeing Sheffield's panic, Rockefeller thought for a second, but finally decided to pretend that he didn't see it.

Sheffield was actually very embarrassed. He clearly remembered that there was no one when he came in, so he stared at the lady who was standing in front of the mirror with tears in the corners of her eyes. There was only one possibility that one of the two must have gone wrong.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps approached quickly. In order not to widen the embarrassment, Sheffield quickly pulled the lady who was wiping tears in the mirror to avoid it. Sheffield's eyes were facing each other, and Sheffield's hand was still on the other party's smooth spine. The woman was in her twenties and looked carefully dressed up. She was wearing a purple long skirt and staring at her with her phoenix eyes. However, if there was no woman chatting outside the door, she would definitely not give up.

This also proves a problem, that is, it is not her who went to the wrong place, but Sheffield. It became as if a century had passed for a few minutes. Sheffield had to listen to the sound of water in awkwardly for a while! When others left, they whispered, "Don't tell this, you are also an upper class person. The jewelry on your hands and the diamonds on your neck are of great value. Keeping secrets is good for us."

"Don't you know me?" Feeling the warmth of the big hands on the back, the woman bit her red lips and thought about it. Is it a new way? Want to attract her own attention?

"Who are you?" Sheffield asked exaggeratedly. Although this woman is very delicate and has a good figure, the smell of perfume on her body penetrates into her nose, but this makes her have to know her?

But she was afraid that someone would come in again, so Sheffield quickly sent her hands to leave, and did not forget to instruct, "Cleaning the tears at the corners of your eyes, you must pretend to be good in such an occasion."

Upon hearing this, the woman quickly sorted out her face in the mirror, giving the rash ghost in front of her a chance to leave.

Sheffield just pretended that this had never happened. Without witnesses, she continued to chat with Rockefeller Jr., talking about her confidence in Chicago's development prospects.

Rockefeller Jr. introduced a professor from the University of Chicago to Sheffield. Sheffield was not surprised at all. Her family also supported the Texas university. Just as he was about to say something, Rockefeller Jr. saw a figure approaching and couldn't help but speak, "Edise, why did you come!"

"Harold can't come if he has something to do!" Edith Rockefeller, his eyes fell on Sheffield, pretending that nothing had happened, "Who is this?"

"William Sheffield, my partner!" Rockefeller Jr. quickly introduced, "My father also attaches great importance to this matter."

"You are the Texas planter!" Edith Rockefeller pretended to be the first meeting and stretched out his wet bare hands, "I am Edith Rockefeller!"

"For the first time we met, it turned out to be the first lady of Chicago!" Sheffield covered up her embarrassment and greeted, "The necklace is very beautiful!"
