Chapter 102 Medical Laboratory
Seeing that little Rockefeller still looked confused, Rockefeller reminded him, "My son, do you think there is no conflict between Standard Oil and Morgan? Since the passage of the new patent law, there has been an alarming increase in the number of infringement cases accepted by state governments.
, not only industry giants, but also small and medium-sized enterprises are forming teams of lawyers to fight for infringement and anti-infringement. Even if you don’t know this, you should have seen it in the newspapers.”
"I saw it, father!" Little Rockefeller stood up straight and listened respectfully to his father's teachings.
"Competition in various industries will become more intense because of this patent bill. Every company must hope that its company can survive in this fierce competition. When the giants kill all small and medium-sized enterprises, this possibility is also
Very low. If this happens, it might be time for the giants to merge with each other." Rockefeller looked directly at his son and said coldly, "Many giants have been living in peace for many years, why don't you know
Will it still be like this in the future? Can't we combine or merge? When it comes to mergers and acquisitions, Morgan is an expert, and he has the largest capital flow."
"Will the giants personally fight each other?" After hearing his father's words, little Rockefeller felt nervous for no reason and blurted out, "This is indeed a terrible conjecture."
"I'm just saying it's possible. In fact, Morgan has already made this move in recent years. Everyone is not clean, but they are still restrained. The Texas landowners' intervention in the electrical field may become a landmark event, so
I want you to watch carefully on the side. It doesn't really matter to you who wins or loses. See if old Morgan is still in control of everything, is he the heir to the Sheffield family, and has the demeanor of his grandfather." Rockefeller is rare.
A smile emerged and he said, "We are not at a disadvantage, right? In fact, many young people don't know much about the Sheffield family. Although this family is headed by a woman, Mrs. Anna is a ruthless character, which does not mean that her husband is mediocre. Although.
He has already left."
"So, I really should help be the middleman and contact Westinghouse Electric!" Young Rockefeller already knew what his father meant. Since the Sheffield family was willing to take the risk, he could facilitate the matter. As for Morgan, if he started to compete
, this matter is no longer his problem.
The risk is low and the reward is high. I can’t blame myself for this. It is the Sheffield family who has the need to enter the electrical field. This is a problem of the Sheffield family and the Morgan family, not my own family’s problem.
Don't worry about the matter. Just as a senior official of the United States said a hundred years later, the U.S. dollar is our debt, but it is your problem.
Of course, Sheffield, who was sleeping on the floor, didn't know all this. As expected, Anne woke up on the floor the next morning as well.
"The ground is so cold, you should stay in bed." Sheffield fiddled with his teeth in the mirror and said vaguely, "What should I do if a girl gets sick because of this?"
"I'm also worried that you'll catch a cold!" Annie wrinkled her nose and saw Sheffield squeezing out the toothpaste for herself, then she put on a smile and said happily, "Anyway, everyone knows that I'm following you. Didn't you react in the morning too?
, great response..."
"But this is someone else's house!" Sheffield spat, and could only smile bitterly in response to a girl's idle chat, and laughed at himself, "I almost couldn't help it. I actually don't have much willpower."
After washing up, Sheffield opened today's newspaper. From tidbits to which two companies were blaming each other, from the employment situation that was not good but great, to a rich second generation who changed his female companion, Sheffield had to admire it.
These news were collected from the dung diggers of the United States in this era.
In the corner of the newspaper, there was an article about Texas holding a sports meeting, inviting healthy people from nearby states to participate, and providing generous bonuses in return. Sheffield understood that this was to select athletes for the Olympics. The first of each event
One person will be paid two thousand US dollars, which is equivalent to two years of income from a good job. It cannot be considered low by any means.
"William, I invite my guest to go to the medical laboratory today." Young Rockefeller pushed open the door and entered. Apparently he had just gotten up. He looked at the furnishings in the room and said with a smile, "It seems that nothing has changed?"
"It's not your own home, so you should be more restrained!" Sheffield chuckled and put on a very old-fashioned suit. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Anne handed over the top hat and said, "Then the two of us will go visit today."
The Rockefeller family strongly supports the pharmaceutical industry, and the level of medical laboratories is among the best in the United States. It deserves massive financial support and has changed the pattern of the United States being impacted by European drugs. Sheffield also has to admit this, which is very important to the fact that the United States has been suffering from inferior drugs for a long time.
, even a good thing for citizens who are troubled by counterfeit medicines.
Although the research in the early days always started with imitation, it doesn’t matter. Later generations in India also started in this way. Of course, it is only at the beginning. Keep imitating is not an option. After imitation, you must enter the research stage.
In the medical laboratory, Rockefeller Jr. kept introducing the environment and research directions here, and said with a smile, "Actually, my father has always wanted to build hospitals in some poor countries and invest in the medical industry."
Sheffield paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "Yeah, this way we don't have to look for citizens in the United States for clinical trials, and we avoid medical accidents. No one knows how many people in poor countries are trying drugs because of clinical trials.
.And those poor countries will also thank the Rockefeller family for the advancement of medical science brought about by the introduction of modern medicine."
It sounds a bit straightforward, but this is inherently a mixed bag of good and bad things. Doing good deeds has a certain purpose, and this is the essence of most good deeds. Although many poor countries without modern medical care have paid a price, in the end it is still
The positive impact is greater.
Young Rockefeller had long been accustomed to Sheffield talking like this, so he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he introduced what Sheffield was most concerned about, the medicine to prepare for higher, faster and stronger.
After visiting the Rockefeller Medical Laboratory, Anne remained silent for a long time, "William, I don't think those drugs are good!"
"Yes!" Sheffield was silent for a moment and finally shook his head. "There is no way! For an ignorant person, if he has tried various medicines and instinctively chooses one that can cure all diseases, there is a high probability that he will choose one from them.
Choose from what you see.”
Even a hundred years later, people will only be able to cure one ten thousandth of the disease. Almost all drugs are used to control and delay symptoms and make patients feel more comfortable. Therefore, some drug addicts have to get it from the pharmaceutical industry when they have no money.
What? The Republic can only punish such people severely, let alone the United States.
