My America

Chapter 236: Almost broke up

Although she was already psychologically prepared, Sheffield was still a little embarrassed when the other party mentioned Chicago. Although I thought about you calling me brother-in-law, I called you brother. But the idea and the practice are always very far apart. At least he is sitting face to face in front of the other person, which is still not shameful enough.

I want to say that you look at the DuPont family, aren't you happy about intermarriage? But when you think about it, this seems not to be clarifying, but to get John into the abyss of crime. Besides, if people are willing, he will not.

"This? Chicago is the capital of steel. I have been there for a long time, because your relationship with Edith is a bit long. You also know that a man and a woman have been together for a long time, some Things are inevitable. "Sheffield organized the wording, try to be as successful as possible with the lies.

"How can people avoid it, you must be inevitable?" Rockefeller Jr. reached out and tapped on the table in front of him. "All are inevitable, you are not afraid of this happening around you."

"So the assistants around me are all women, the assistants' assistants are also women, and even their bodyguards are all women." Sheffield leaned back on the chair with a complacent answer. When he looked at Rockefeller's bad face, his face turned again Seriously, "Of course, I also know that this kind of thing is not a glorious act, and it may have a bad impact on society, and I am not happy about it. I did not know this thing in advance, it was Edith ’s own decision. I was born and I did n’t know until I returned home. "

The image of a free-spirited man jumped on the paper, which opened the eyes of Little Rockefeller. However, he was strictly disciplined since he was a child, and he had no other brothers. He could not feel the happiness of the Vanderbilt family. Sheffield has tried to choose words that are not too intense, and still makes Rockefeller Jr. uncomfortable.

"Enough is enough, I regard you as the best partner." Little Rockefeller couldn't hear it anymore and interrupted directly, "You are, you ..."

He chose to be your brother-in-law! Seeing the other party shivering, Sheffield added an embarrassing sentence to the other party.

If it were n’t for Rockefeller Jr. ’s thoughts that his father ’s teachings had regained his composure, things would never have gone this far, dryly, “Edith is the best sister with me, do you know.”

This rhetorical question made Sheffield vigilant in his heart. Why didn't he find this? Obviously this kind of sister-in-law feeling is very plastic, and now is the best sister again? Is this kind of bedding ready to take advantage? Watching Rockefeller Jr. cautiously, he asked, "What then?"

"Forget it, let's talk about business, this affects the mood." Rockefeller Jr. looked at Sheffield, he was already prepared for it, and he was right, he really wanted to ask for some advantage.

But now there are still many important things to do, Rockefeller Jr. asked, "Morgan bought Roland Steel and DuPont bought General Electric. Do you know this?"

Why don't you know? It was for this matter that Sheffield ’s underworld finally got to the point. Instead of calling me brother, you called my brother-in-law, and nodded, "I just learned that this is a big deal. DuPont is an industry. The big companies in the field may be slightly inferior to those of you kings, but few of them have been able to overwhelm it for a hundred years. "

If it were not for the United States after the Civil War, there would be no war in the United States for a long time. At the same difficult time for the Democratic Party, the United Company could not grab a share of war. If several wars broke out while the Republican Party was in power, the DuPont Union would become stronger, but who made the Republican Party difficult to fight? This can only blame the DuPont Union for bad luck. Opportunity to make a fortune.

But even with this unfavorable existence, the DuPont Consortium is still a substantial company with huge influence. It is very unusual to get close to Morgan, the King of Wall Street.

"Actually what surprised me the most is that Morgan transferred the shares of General Electric to a part of the DuPont family, which shows how great this determination is." Sheffield hesitated and sighed, "The cash flow behind Morgan and him is really so horrible."

"Don't you feel horrified when you rob Mexico's debt?" Rockefeller Jr. sneered. He generally maintained good self-cultivation, but since he determined that the partner became the brother-in-law, he didn't realize this kind of tone.

"John, don't talk with personal emotions." Sheffield reluctantly shouted, "Aren't you talking about cooperation? Why did you turn to private matters again? This is not a problem-solving attitude and it's very unprofessional. I know Standard Oil With a strong fund, it is not inferior to Morgan's father and son, and even exceeds it, but you and I are separate individuals. Morgan has more fans, especially with DuPont, which is not a simple opponent.

If it weren't Dupont plus Morgan, Sheffield was still in Chicago, how could it be that fart came to New York.

What we are talking about now is Dupont and Morgan, not Edith Rockefeller. How to deal with it is a very important thing. The two also have differences on this point. Rockefeller Jr. believes that the wells of the Rockefeller and Morgan families do not violate the river water, just like two parallel lines, even if they are not pleasing to the eye, they will not endlessly.

This is not the case for Sheffield United and the DuPont Consortium. Mrs. Anna is still alive and in good health. She also sent Sheffield back to the horse. As long as Mrs. Anna is alive, the relationship between the two companies is now the same.

"Even if my grandmother is gone, my heir will have revenge, but Rockefeller and Morgan are definitely not in a parallel relationship. The Mexican debt problem is what you proposed, although the money was earned by us and the Thyssen joint company. I ’m going abroad, and even the father and son of Morgan would n’t think that I was a small bank. The first time I expanded my business was the issue of international debt. That must be your order, even if it ’s a crime, it ’s a mastermind and an accomplice, ”Sheffield The fact that I am a **** does not mean that you have freshly released a clean theory. Continued, "Isn't Morgan going to buy your mine? Why has it been unsuccessful? It must be that you are asking too much, I heard Edith say Well, that mine was bought by your father ten years ago, and it cost a total of $ 50,000. How much did you offer? "

"What did Edith Rockefeller tell you! Did anything else in our family tell you?" Little Rockefeller couldn't calm down, opened his mouth and finally exposed a number, "From the Texas oil field After being discovered, I started to evaluate the mineral layout in my hand, so the asking price is 80 million US dollars, otherwise it will be avoided. "

Sheffield applauded her face with admiration and said with sincerity, "The cost of 50,000 US dollars, you want to transfer 80 million US dollars, you are no longer doing business, you are robbing the bank, wrong, robbing the bank does not make much money , You are robbing Wall Street, in my opinion, you are almost humiliating Morgan. "

"After consultation, it was 75 million US dollars, and I did not give in at all ..." Rockefeller Jr. also seemed to feel that his offer was a little too soft.

"But it was bought by your family for fifty thousand dollars. It's obvious that you are asking for it. So at least for now, the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family are definitely not parallel lines. They have already intersected." Sheffield extended his finger. Shaking, "The problem is back to the original point. You and Morgan have joined me on the Mexican debt issue, and you have rejected the purchase of Morgan. The former is a $ 130 million Mexican public debt and the latter is seven or eight. For a tens of millions of dollars in mineral deposits, this is 200 million dollars. Even if Morgan is rich, he ca n’t be indifferent to the failure of a 200 million dollar business? "

Even now, Sheffield feels that the United Company will not be able to provide $ 200 million unless the land is sold. This is the result after he went abroad to bargain. Before then, the funds in his hands will be able to open up with the DuPont consortium.

"Whether you believe it or not, Standard Oil and the United Company have already stood opposite the father and son of Morgan, otherwise Morgan should not go to the DuPont Consortium as an ally, you wouldn't think he was for the United Company?" Sheffield is anti-guest.

"Is that really the case? You set up Southern Electric at a critical moment and snatched a piece of fat from General Electric's mouth and forgot so quickly?" Rockefeller Jr. chuckled lightly. "How come from your mouth, it seems like Isn't it the same thing? To say this thing, you are no worse than me. "

"It's black history, right? Who didn't want to take a dollar ten years ago, and just grabbed the gunpowder market share from the DuPont consortium. Morgan also listened to your $ 80 million quotation anyway. You were obviously To rob it, "Sheffield said with a finger." It's like the joint company is the life and death enemy of DuPont and Morgan. The standard oil and the two companies are parallel lines. Is the parallel line of the Rockefeller family crooked? "

"My family has never sold slaves!" Little Rockefeller sneered.

"The United Company also failed to run the oil workshop involving thousands of families into bankruptcy." Sheffield glanced.

Seeing that he was about to enter the dark history again, the housekeeper at Rockefeller Estate walked in and walked in front of the two of them, "Mr. Rockefeller prepared a simple lunch."

This caused the two people who were about to fall into another track to brake in time. They were obviously ready to cooperate. They almost entered the track of breakup. Both of them agreed to it. Once they thought that they just chatted with personal emotions, and there was a little regret in their hearts. .
