Chapter 120 The pride of the cottage industry

To put it bluntly like this would be a bit ugly. Although Texas folk customs are simple and there is nothing wrong with being direct, wouldn't it be better if Kean could understand the truth deep down and accept it willingly?

As the founder of United Fruit Company, considering that United Fruit Company has been rampant in Central and South America for decades, Keene, the founder, will also be a powerful figure in the future. Such a powerful figure is now in front of him. This situation makes Xie

Field was indescribably happy, he just wanted to draw a dragon with his left hand and a rainbow with his right hand.

"The sea conditions near Bermuda are complicated. I personally sympathize with some accidents!" He squeezed crocodile tears hard, but it was not successful. Sheffield could only give up and said in a nonchalant manner, "The sea is so dangerous.

Some accidents are normal, but I believe the domestic demand for fruits will not change."

Even if he was ogling a blind man, Sheffield was neither humble nor arrogant. If Keane came to the door, he must know who had hijacked his ship, but this question was not important. What was important was that Sheffield would not admit it at all.

.If he doesn’t admit it, there is no such thing.

"Actually, both sides can live in harmony!" Keane also did not expose Sheffield's clumsy lies, and also wanted to deal with it in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. "I actually have no intention of being detrimental to Master William and Lady Anna."

"You can't do it either!" Sheffield interrupted Keane's train of thought. Seeing that the real founder was finding it hard to make up a reason, he stopped beating around the bush and said slowly, "But as long as competition exists, for

Both sides are disadvantageous, right? What I am pursuing is a monopoly. Please don’t mind. This is not against Mr. Keane’s cause. It cannot be done by anyone. The existence of competitors is itself harmful to farmers.”

Harm to farmers? Keane really wanted to laugh out loud. How shameless someone dared to say such a thing, but he did not laugh and retorted softly, "Competition is also beneficial to the healthy development of an industry..."

"That's just nonsense to fool ordinary people!" Sheffield looked at Edith Rockefeller with an innocent smile and asked warmly, "Is that so, Edith?"

"You say so!" Edith Rockefeller said with a slight smile on her face as she tilted her head.

The sight of a dog-like man and woman colluding together gave Keen mixed feelings. He was really being bullied. He had worked hard for many years and was away from home all the time. After suffering so much, he finally gained a worth of millions.

, was about to start a big fight, but was taken notice of by these much younger rich second generation, and suffered unfair treatment. They wanted to steal their own career.

Keen suddenly had the idea of ​​​​leaving away, but it was only in his mind and did not take action.

It is best not to take action. It is too easy for Sheffield to recruit a person in Texas. He can even send out different races according to different needs. If he wants Native Americans, he has Indians in his hands.

People, if you want to be more public, black people can cause trouble, if you want to die at the hands of the civilized world, just say whether you want Protestantism or Orthodoxy.

"If I hadn't sympathized with Mr. Keene's years of struggle, I wouldn't have said that at all. I know that the railway can't be built in a short time, and you have spent a lot of effort. We Dixie people are simple and unwilling to let you lose everything. You

You should carefully consider accepting my conditions and run the fruit industry well with me instead of putting your limited funds against me. To tell you the truth, there are fifty-three plantation owners as shareholders of my company alone.

, each of them is worth no less than you, and not all of them are participating." Sheffield sighed and tried to persuade him, "You have to understand that the current situation, my partners here have maintained

To exercise the utmost restraint, you must understand the value of peace."

The speed of railway construction depends on many factors. The preparation of materials, transportation, tools used, as well as the working status of workers, and the coordination of organizational personnel will have a positive or negative impact on the speed of railway construction. For example, if

The transportation conditions are not good. Even if the workers are very enthusiastic about their work, the progress will be delayed due to the limitations of transportation conditions. Therefore, coordination is very important.

Keen has already been involved in the fruit industry, and he also has a lot of capital and several railways, so he has a good foundation. As long as he can surrender the city, he can still take advantage of it without losing his status as a rich man.

Of course, you will definitely eat a small loss, but you can stop the loss. Keane also understands this truth, but it is not easy to make this determination after handing over many years of career, becoming a vassal, and losing your autonomy?

"Master William, you should know that I was born in Boston and have a good relationship with Mr. Morgan." Keane mustered up the courage to make a last-ditch effort to preserve his property.

McHale calmly prepared to draw his gun, but was stopped by a look from Sheffield, who smiled again at Keane, "My closest future partner, are you from Boston? You have a good relationship with Morgan.

?But as far as I know, those families in Boston have a very bad relationship with Morgan. Those families advance and retreat together, but they are also very exclusive. Since you were born in Boston, but you have joined Morgan's line, it can only mean that

One problem is that the bankers in Boston are not optimistic about you. Instead, you have become a spokesperson for Morgan, and you are destined to have a bad relationship with them."

"But Morgan, a coffee bean merchant, is very interested in profit. Will he invest huge sums of money to continue to support you and fight against us? How to recover the cost? Is your mortgage enough? What's more, once the confrontation starts, the funds required are far away.

If it exceeds your family fortune, there is only one final result. You can't change anything. Win or lose, the industry you have struggled for many years will become Morgan's. I believe you also know this, so you set out to Texas to prepare.

Talk to us about solving this problem." Sheffield grasped the context like targeted poverty alleviation, and finally concluded, "You have no choice. Merging with my United Fruit Company is the only way out, otherwise you will wait for bankruptcy.

No one will take huge risks to help you."

With Sheffield's half-ridiculous and half-factual analysis, Keane's already pale face became even paler. These were the facts, so he decided to come over and sue for peace. I hope that the confrontation will not continue, and I also hope for God's blessing.

Able to escape whole body.

It is impossible to escape unscathed. Sheffield will not let this happen. Either Kaicheng surrenders or withdraws from the fruit industry. Don't occupy the manhole without shit.

"There are many details to discuss!" Keane was making a last-ditch effort to get a good merger condition.

"Okay, just stay in Houston for now and let your people come over to negotiate." Sheffield stood up with a bright smile. He was very happy. Finally, in 1895, he had gained something, not just losing money.
