"It's just normal business competition. Isn't it unreasonable to use terms like enemies and friends?" Westinghouse chuckled and neither agreed nor objected to the two people's words. He didn't seem to think that Morgan's pressure was anything special.

.

Sheffield secretly complained that he actually disliked this type of businessman. It was too hypocritical. Businessmen should either do a good job in technology and promote everything equally, or they should lower their heads and act like pigs and eat tigers and know how to keep a low profile. Businessmen like Westinghouse,

On the surface, he looks very energetic, but in private, he is very active. It always reminds him of Jack Ma who opens his mouth and shuts up Chicken Soup for the Soul.

"It seems that Westinghouse Electric seems to think that it is powerful! When building the electrical network, I think it is better for the southern states to cooperate with General Electric!" Sheffield said with an arrogant air, "If it doesn't work, I

We can also inject capital into General Electric, and I believe Morgan is not a person who monopolizes all profits."

"Master William speaks in a Texas tradition. It seems that your grandfather was like this in the rumors." Westinghouse raised his eyebrows and said, he was dissatisfied with Sheffield's expression of dissatisfaction.

"That's not what William meant. Both of you are friends of Standard Oil. The negotiation is to discuss. You already have the desire to cooperate in your heart, so why hide it." It was time for the young Rockefeller to smooth things over and said in a persuasive way, "From Morgan

If you name the acquired company General Motors, you will know that the emperor of the financial world has a huge appetite, don’t you think?”

Westinghouse and Sheffield were silent as soon as these words came out. The meaning of the word "general" represents a lot of other information. It shows Morgan's ambition to set standards in the electrical field. All electrical projects in the United States use the standards set by general.

standard.

Another typical representative of this kind of name that shows ambition is the Rockefeller family's Standard Oil Company. The name Standard Oil is even more straightforward than the word General. It uses Standard Oil as the standard to control everything in the oil industry.

If General Electric becomes a universal standard, wouldn't companies like Westinghouse be destined to be crushed in the future? Although Westinghouse has been touched, he still said, "Are you talking about something too serious?

Already."

"If it's someone else, it's really not very serious. If it's Morgan, it's very reasonable to say it's more serious." Rockefeller Jr. said with a smile, "The capital flow in Morgan's hands is too strong. This is Westinghouse."

Mr. Si should know that even if electric development is promoted at the same time, Morgan will come from behind. Westinghouse Electric needs an ally, even if the original intention is just to protect itself."

"The Sheffield family is interested in contributing to the United States Electrical Industry. There are not many friends with such strength. Due to the long-term friendly relationship between Westinghouse Electric and Standard Oil, with my father's approval, I am willing to be a middleman to facilitate this.

This cooperation." Young Rockefeller stated his purpose politely.

This is definitely not for the discounts on the Sheffield family's ocean-going fleet, nor is it for the Sheffield family to escort exploration work in Mexican territory. It is purely adult beauty.

"As for the purpose of my family, it is actually very simple. It is the needs of more than 20 million citizens in the 13 states in the South!" Sheffield said something that made the young Rockefeller feel extremely arrogant. "The electrical field is extremely important to the South because of the vast farms in the South.

All need to introduce the latest electrical achievements."

"I've been talking for a long time, but it doesn't seem to be of any benefit to Westinghouse!" Westinghouse stretched out his hand to rub his chin and shrugged. "It sounds more like introducing a competitor than helping Westinghouse fight against General Electric. Once

I am on the side of Master William, and two competitors have become three. What is the reason for this?"

"Triangles have strong stability. This is basic geometric knowledge, so the Egyptian pyramids remain standing." Sheffield said slowly, "I also have the patent authorization of Siemens in my hand. Mr. Westinghouse said

Siemens is certainly no stranger, because Westinghouse Electric has also received help from Siemens. The entire Tesla research team also held shares in the name of the research team and became the chief engineer of the new electric company. The new electric company will inevitably appear in Houston

, for Westinghouse Electric, mutual cross-patent authorization will jointly promote the electrical development of the United States."

Regardless of whether Westinghouse Electric agrees or disagrees, new electrical companies will emerge. In view of Westinghouse Electric's current embarrassing position as the second largest company in the industry, whether Westinghouse Electric expresses goodwill or not, it is within the scope of General Electric's suppression. Just like the United States and the Soviet Union later

The relationship is the same. It doesn't matter what system the Soviets are in. As long as the Soviets exist for one day, if their national power is close to that of the United States, they must be suppressed.

"Is it necessary to enter the electrical field for the sake of Tesla's research team? I have to say that young people have this courage. If I were 30 years younger, I might do the same! Well, the two companies will license patents and jointly deal with it.

General Electric." Westinghouse sighed. He knew that the two young men in front of him were right. Westinghouse Electric was General Electric's biggest competitor no matter what it did, and any good intentions were useless.

"That's good. I believe that now that the Sheffield family has entered the electrical field, they will have a strong ally!" After leaving Westinghouse Electric, young Rockefeller breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "I helped you this time. You

You must be grateful, and the discount you should give cannot be less. In fact, this is beneficial to us. In every aspect, Standard Oil is a big customer, and after the discount, my family can also reduce some costs. This is

Win-win.”

"This alliance is actually not reliable. In the end, we have to rely on my family's strength to promote electrification as soon as possible." Sheffield chuckled and said nonchalantly, "It's not like there is no way."

"It seems that you didn't enter the electrical field rashly. What methods do you have?" Young Rockefeller was very curious when he heard this and asked.

"You will know when the time comes! Mr. Tesla will definitely be very grateful for my help, which can be regarded as helping him realize his dream!" Sheffield raised his eyebrows and said, "I want to implement his standards."

The current voltage standard in the United States is 111V. This number is the result of Edison's countless experiments. He believed that the voltage at 111V was the most stable and safest, and he built the first voltage in New York.

A power supply system also provides 111V power, so it has not changed until now. Even though Tesla believed that 220V was safe, they had a fierce quarrel because of this.

Sheffield feels that this voltage standard is a false proposition, and has been packaged into a soft article by later generations of brainwashing writers that the United States cherishes life. The difference between the two voltage standards in his eyes is that Tesla’s standard is equivalent to comparing you to a Northeastern
