Chapter 97 Coffee Bean Merchant
Coubertin's life in Chicago was comfortable and comfortable. He had two suckers willing to help him develop his international Olympic career in the Western Hemisphere, and he had even had the idea of absorbing two people into the Olympic Committee.
This honor is naturally worthless to Rockefeller. What is the Rauss Games? In Rockefeller's eyes, it is a typical example of not doing business properly. A French aristocrat is not doing business well and doing these things is not doing business properly. Isn't it better to make money with money than investing family property into this so-called ideal?
Sheffield does not have as many bad habits as Rockefeller, so Coubertin has this idea. Sheffield agreed immediately, and has the awareness of fighting for the Olympics for life. The family tradition cannot be low-key.
Compared with Rockefeller Jr., Edith Rockefeller was also very interested when he learned that Sheffield had submitted an application. However, it was rejected without any surprise. Coubertin also had his own problems. First of all, he believed that exercise had nothing to do with women, and it would be better for women to be honest in keeping the house and having children.
Sheffield suppressed the crazy laughter in his heart and comforted Edith Rockefeller for one day. Listening to the other party angrily scolding Coubertin for women, Coubertin's idea was just a common idea in this era. Edith Rockefeller is the alternative to this era. If it were a hundred years later, a generation of female leaders might not be warned by female punches.
But in this era, Edith Rockefeller wanted to keep the Rockefeller surname and also wanted to run a company with her husband, but she was just a rebellious person and really regarded herself as the queen?
"I should have married into a family that respects me!" Edith Rockefeller looked at Sheffield angrily and complained, "Marrying to Chicago is a mistake."
"Madam, I feel a little uneasy when you look at me like this. You are eight years older than me, and my father is even worse. He has been to Paris for more than ten years." Sheffield couldn't help but feel cowardly. With this tone and look, he could know even if he was stupid, who was the best marriage partner Edith Rockefeller said.
The United States can be worthy of all kinds of kings and is also a family in which women lead the family. Isn’t this just talking about one’s own family?
But isn't there any special situation in the Sheffield family? The first generation joins Cao in the middle of the journey, and enjoys life. Only when she was not yet an adult did she have the name of Mrs. Anna.
Sheffield would never believe that Edith Rockefeller fell in love with her misunderstanding. This woman just wanted to find a family with rights. Even her husband disagreed with such a thing, and Sheffield would not agree.
Before Edith Rockefeller complained, when Sheffield saw it was getting late, he said that he wanted to go back to the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Association to rest. "Anne got rid of her wife's care, and the environment in the association is relatively average."
"Oh, what hasn't happened yet? I'm taking care of it!" Edith Rockefeller moved the majestic and exaggerated body in front, and curled his lips with a scent of lemon. "I told him every day that I thought he was the hostess of the next generation of the Sheffield family."
"I am a cautious person and will not step on too obvious pitfalls. It's like I told Coubertin not to go to the black community. If I hadn't sent someone to follow him, he would have been robbed three days ago." Sheffield smiled and sighed. Anne had just lived here for a few days and was exhausted by Edith Rockefeller. It was estimated that when the menstrual period would be known.
If Edith's Clothing Company hadn't been almost done and Anne knew the clothes of the Paris aristocratic circle, Sheffield wouldn't have always come to the other party's villa.
The next itinerary has been set, and he will go to New York to see Rockefeller's base camp and deal with some other things at the same time. He will return to Texas to see if McHale and the others have done their competitors.
The weather was clear on the day of leaving Chicago. In this month, the north was already a little cool sooner or later, and it began to enter the most changing season of the year. The weather in the United States was unstable, which was brought by nature. Who made the face of the Arctic a huge Hudson Bay? It was like embracing the Arctic cold current on the map.
Rockefeller Jr. agreed with Sheffield's desire to go to New York, not to show off the unbuilt manor, but to go to New York on his own initiative to show his sincerity from the side.
The two went to New York and also sent Coubertin away from the United States. Of course, this was not the main purpose, but on the whole, they did set off for this reason. While Sheffield was waiting at the station, there was a question that had been around for a long time, and he just asked, "Who is more rich in your family or the Morgan family?"
"If you want to talk about the funds that can be mobilized, it should be the Morgan family. Morgan's financial influence is too great. However, for the dominance of this industry, Standard Oil's dominance in the oil field is much stronger than Morgan's in finance." Rockefeller Jr. gave his own answer.
This means that Morgan's capital flow is larger, but not necessarily his own money! Although the oil industry cannot be compared with finance in this era, the Rockefeller family's property may have more property than the Morgan family?
Sheffield didn't know if he understood it correctly, and Rockefeller's answer was too tilted. Don't they say that Westerners are honest? As expected, honesty depends on who they are right. There is no such thing as frankness when evaluating the existence of the same level. They are quite frank when evaluating beggars.
In this era, the New York Metropolitan City has already had some shadows in the future. Although it has really shined, it has to wait for decades. Sheffield is thinking in his heart whether to buy a piece of land to do a real estate business, after all, it is safe to make a profit but not lose money.
After sending Coubertin onto the ship, Rockefeller had already returned to Rockefeller Manor. Only then did Anne convey the instructions of Lafayette. She was going to say it in Chicago, but she was stopped by Sheffield and said it was the best for family affairs in private.
"Mrs. said that it's nothing to use any means to the competitors of those small Central American countries. I don't know the coffee bean merchant!" Anne's words conveyed did not surprise Sheffield at all, and asked in confusion, "Who is the coffee bean merchant?"
Haha! Sheffield laughed and explained, "I happened to know about this. It was about Morgan. When Morgan was young, he traveled to the south and happened to go to New Orleans. A Brazilian ship was full of coffee beans and was about to unload the goods in New Orleans, but the buyer went bankrupt. Morgan happened to encounter this incident. He bought the coffee beans and made a difference, and sold it to my house. This was the first time Morgan relied on himself to make money."
Sheffield was also from Annabell's mouth a few years ago. He heard the words of coffee bean merchants, and finally couldn't help asking and found out that he was talking about Morgan.
"So, Morgan is also a very inspiring businessman." Anne nodded in confusion, "I also had a story about starting a business when I was young."
"Who can buy a whole ship of coffee beans? That's not something that ordinary people can do!" Sheffield broke Anne's fantasy about chicken soup in the heart. "After doing this, Morgan went home to inherit his family's property. The Morgan family had long been a big family in the United States, and Morgan's grandfather was the farmer."
