Chapter 92 Equal Rights Pioneer William
"It seems to be something caused by a competitor!" John Connor defended, "You can't blame McHale and the others. We can discuss this matter in a few days, we still have guests here."
John Connor reminded Sheffield that Edith Rockefeller was still here and not to say anything in the heat of the moment.
"Competitors? As far as I know, many businessmen in small countries in Central America are supported by Morgan!" At the busiest time, Edith Rockefeller did not want to leave and directly told what she knew, "You guys
Is his competitor named Keane? He got financing from Morgan."
"That's right, Mrs. Edith, someone in Guatemala instigated the locals to cause trouble, but our investigation is not that simple. It was a domestic competitor who did it!" John Connor nodded, then turned to Sheffield and said, "Master, McHale
, Gale and the others have just returned to China and are a little helpless, so I asked you what you mean."
Keane? Isn't that the genuine United Fruit Company? Sheffield thought of this man, and thought about it again and again, but that didn't mean he would give in. He twisted his neck and asked, "What about that? Do you know, in
In the field of agricultural products, we cannot take a step back. This is the only leading area we have left. If the leadership is taken away, whether it is domestic or partners who have just returned from Brazil, they can only serve others."
"Even Morgan can't tamper with this. I don't care what Keane or Morgan think. If they dare to reach out, I will cut off their hands. It's useless to say anything else. It's not like I haven't taken the robbery. I'll kill those guys."
You're the bastard." Sheffield mocked with a cold face, "McHale and the others haven't forgotten how to fight in just half a year, right? Even if Brazil is weak, it's still stronger than Guatemala or Honduras. If they can't win, they won't be embarrassed.
Already."
"It's better to ask Mrs. Anna about this matter!" John Connor hesitated for a moment, but was still ready to go to the real speaker to get permission. After all, it was a very important matter.
"Of course it's possible, but I can guess what my grandmother said. To be honest, if it hadn't been for my grandfather and father's accidents one after another, this situation wouldn't have happened at all. Everything I do now is just to let things go back to their original development.
On track." Sheffield has no objection to Annabell knowing about this. To be honest, it is possible to make decisions by himself, but if he, the heir, declares that he can be robbed, Lafayette's attitude will become that he can be killed.
"With Mrs. Anna's permission, if McHale and the others can't handle this matter, I will summon the staff of Black Gold Company to go there myself!" John Connor nodded and pretended to go out and send a telegram.
Sheffield stopped John Connor and shook his head and said, "McHale and the others have been fighting in Brazil for so many years. It shouldn't be a problem. Even if they can't handle it, just hire black people from the south to fight. The skin color of the locals is too different from ours. Use black people."
It's more convenient. Don't save this kind of money. I'll give you three times how much a black man can earn, seventy dollars a month. I can give you the money, but you can't delay the matter. Let Kean know how good we are."
"But can black people fight? This is not a waste!" John Connor felt unacceptable when he thought of such a scene.
"Will you die? After following us for so many years, you have learned how to rob with a gun? If you like robbing, you can go abroad to rob!" Sheffield said after a while, "If you can't even kill people, I really find out.
If not, what else can they contribute?”
Edith Rockefeller stayed behind and witnessed this conversation. She seemed to have discovered another side of this large farmer. After John Connor left, she said, "You were just kidding, right? What kind of war? It's not all business."
You don’t need to use guns to solve the problem. Are there any black people who will sacrifice their lives for you people?”
"Do you think it's the same as being in the United States when you're abroad? Sometimes, if you don't get a gun, the problem can't be solved at all. Also, do you really think that during the Civil War, there were no black people who fought for us? I only want to say one thing
A simple question, we planters who run plantations are not all extremely evil people." Sheffield looked at Edith Rockefeller, whose outlook on life was shocked, and showed his white teeth and said, "I only want to say a simple thing.
In fact, before the Civil War, black people did not have unemployment problems, and not all black people were willing to be liberated. They did not have much money, but it does not mean that we will not give other property. Of course, your newspaper will not report this, really
I thought the Union Army was all white soldiers."
After the war, some black slaves on the plantations filled the gap of free labor needed for industrial development. But this was only part of it. The other part of the black slaves who left the plantations had another way - unemployment. This is why there were some soldiers in the Union Army during the Civil War.
Black soldiers fought bloody battles not only to defend the Southern system, but also to defend their own jobs.
Industrial development requires qualified and strong labor force, not the old, weak, sick and disabled, which is different from the plantation in the past. Many black people are unable to enter industry.
Regarding the issue of the black community, Sheffield feels that just because the Dixies are black, it does not mean that the Yankees are white. We are bastards, and you are also hypocrites. When the economy is good, black workers are no better than on plantations. Once
In an economic depression, black people are laid off first, while white people are kept employed.
Of course, this is understandable. The key is that this hypocrisy is unbearable. It is obvious that both parties are doing similar things, but you just don't admit that you treat them differently.
In the past few years, the economy has been depressed, and black people have appeared in major cities in the north. Black people are idle and aimless. The unemployed black people have nothing to do, which will naturally lead to high crime rates.
"Just watch, after I acquire the steel factory, I will only hire black people to work as watermelon fried chicken supervisors, and fire all the ordinary white workers, leaving only skilled technicians! If other factories recruit white people, I will do this! This is what I will do."
I am also contributing to the equality of Chicago. When the time comes, white workers can just stop scolding me." Sheffield boasted brazenly, "After all, I am their former master and I cannot watch them die in despair."
"Why are you so bad!" Edith Rockefeller came to Sheffield's side, stretched out her hand and pulled Sheffield's ear, "Isn't this just a standard southern plantation, where black people work with guns."
"Don't say that. I have always admitted that the South was defeated. Black people are free now. If you don't want to work, you can get out. This is for the stability of the United States, to ensure the employment rate of the black group, and to respond to the call of you Yankees. This
All the good and bad things were brought about by you." Sheffield stretched out two fingers to pinch Edith Rockefeller's fingertips and reminded, "Mrs. Edith, you are a married woman, please respect yourself.
