Chapter 114 Houston

Charity or not is a small question. Sheffield believes that as long as a normal person has hands and feet, he does not need to help, regardless of the person's skin color, male or female. Of course, if you really want to be charitable, mentally ill people

We can still help people with disabilities, as these two are truly disadvantaged groups.

Except for these two, the United States was founded by struggle. Please don't insult them with charity. This is a free country and they can die freely.

Judging from the current cooperation between Rockefeller and Sheffield, Sheffield actually understands that he does not ask for much from this giant in the oil industry. On the contrary, he seems to provide more help. This is partly because of the cooperation with giants like Standard Oil.

When cooperating, he must maintain a gentlemanly attitude and allow both parties to cooperate on an equal footing.

If you always get in the way of each other, it is very likely that it will lead to a series of consequences because of relevant legal provisions.

However, although it temporarily allowed the Rockefeller family to take advantage of it, Sheffield did not think that he had suffered a loss. No industry is completely separated from the development of related industries.

Now he hopes to maintain a close relationship with the Rockefeller family and free up his hands to deal with other people. So by making the Rockefeller family more profitable, he cannot be regarded as suffering a loss, but he may not be making money as fast as the other party for the time being.

Since it has been decided that it is a formal cooperation and there will be no stumbling blocks for each other, then everything should be handled as a formal cooperation. But it is not necessarily true that the Rockefeller family has made a lot of money, but they have gained nothing.

As mentioned before, no industry is isolated from other industries. Now that Sheffield is involved in the oil industry, it must rely on the patents of Standard Oil. It cannot be like a small oil workshop that can be a monopoly and then cause a price war to compete with Standard Oil.

A lose-lose situation, and then die without contact.

In an equal and formal cooperation model, because Standard Oil itself is the industry leader, the other party will definitely benefit more at present, but this greater profit of Standard Oil is not unchangeable.

At present, oil is far from being as widely used as it will be in later generations, and the replacement of coal is still slowly progressing. Although cars using oil as raw materials have appeared in Germany, Germany itself does not have oil resources, and this matter has to be done by the United States.

Come and do it.

As for internal combustion engine patents and factories, Sheffield has already begun to lay out the layout. Therefore, if Rockefeller wants to go further in the oil industry, he has to look to Sheffield, rather than Sheffield looking to Rockefeller.

Now it is the Rockefeller family that is making greater profits, but once farm machinery and automobiles powered by internal combustion engines are put into production, it will no longer be Rockefeller who makes greater profits, so Sheffield is not in a hurry.

We have just arrived now. When all kinds of machinery powered by internal combustion engines are rolled out, the Rockefeller family realizes that signing a contract with the Sheffield family that seems to be a sure profit without loss has also blocked themselves and made their partners stronger.

Of course, for now, if you choose one among various types of machinery, Sheffield would still choose agricultural machinery and let cars get out of the way first. Even if it wants to develop industry, it still needs to consolidate its position in the agricultural field at the beginning.

Someone arranged the exploration team, and Sheffield took Edith Rockefeller to Houston. From the time this woman came to Texas, he knew who led the exploration team and was a member of the Rockefeller family.

Excuse.

Will Edith Rockefeller really go into the field to lead exploration? The oil empire princess is still more suitable for dance-like occasions, but I just said so before, and the level of perfunctory is comparable to the level of the president entering a convenience store to pose for photos.

Of course, there is no problem in taking this woman to Houston. After all, this is the largest city in Texas. Later, Houston was the center of the United States' oil industry and petrochemical industry for its energy, especially oil. Its aviation industry and canals were world-famous.

The Port of Houston is the sixth largest port in the world, the busiest port in the United States, and ranks first in shipping tonnage.

Naturally, Sheffield cannot deliberately play devil's advocate and distort history. He respects history so much and is afraid of unexpected changes in history, so he will naturally choose to make the best use of everything.

The planned petroleum industry center naturally owns the land and the labor force. There is a busy scene everywhere, but the first thing Edith Rockefeller saw was that these people were wearing very conspicuous clothes and under their feet.

of shackles.

"You actually use criminals as workers?" Edith Rockefeller covered her mouth. Farther away, there were uniformed policemen watching everywhere, making everything look depressing.

"We lost the Civil War, so we can only settle for the next best thing. What can we do?" Sheffield shrugged and said calmly, "I don't need free labor, so why should I treat them as gods?"

"This is the first time I have seen such a thing, and I am a little surprised!" Edith Rockefeller shook her head, saying that Sheffield had misunderstood. She had previously thought that the Sheffield family's operation of private prisons was just talk. Unexpectedly, it was more than just talk.

It is not a business issue, but a proper business model.

That's natural. Private prisons are profitable every year. Sometimes just farming doesn't guarantee profits every year. Private prisons are generating revenue every year.

"Without some status and opportunity, can anyone work in a private prison? At that time, my family moved to Texas. They first bought a piece of land to hold Mexican prisoners of war. Later, in order to deal with the underground railroad, the family established the first private prison.

Prison. In addition to escaped slaves, the people in it were Yang gays. Later, it was discovered that after the establishment of private prisons, they were even more efficient than plantations." Seeing that Edith Rockefeller was listening in rapt attention, Sheffield changed his subject.

, said proudly, "But others don't have this opportunity. At that time, this place was still called the Lone Star Republic."

"The Lone Star Republic has only been given the opportunity to establish private prisons during the short period of its existence. This is a legacy of history and cannot be imitated by others!" Sheffield chuckled, "We no longer have this opportunity."

When Edith Rockefeller heard this, she sighed and said, "That's such a shame!"

"Do you really want to come here to grab business?" Sheffield raised his eyebrows. Of course there are still opportunities. Isn't there still the Spanish-American War and the seizure of Hawaii? Sheffield feels that his private prison business can completely break out of the United States.

When it comes to the world, Guantanamo is a great place.
