Chapter 123 Firefighters

Regarding the development of the United Fruit Company, after Keene's banana company was merged and acquired, the new United Fruit Company has actually achieved an overwhelming position. Now that things are on the right track, it no longer deserves too much attention.

In fact, the United Fruit Company, in the eyes of Sheffield, is just to show unity, to unite the planters who stayed in the United States and those who immigrated to Brazil, and more to serve as a bridge. Of course, making money is also important.

But showing unity is even more important.

In terms of profit, it is definitely not as good as the upcoming military expansion of the United States. This piece of cake is more delicious than the cake that the shareholders just ate. Once the international situation becomes unstable in future generations, the Republican Party will often be remembered by voters. In this era, adhering to the

The Democratic Party with Manifest Destiny is often associated with war.

This change in stance probably occurred around the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War. Before that, the Democratic Party was completely a war party. Whether it was Wilson in World War I or Roosevelt in World War II, they were all in this environment.

Come to the forefront as a Democrat.

The United States, which had been humiliated by the world policeman Great Britain, still united together before the election and passed the resolution to expand the military. Naturally, the Sheffield family had another huge opportunity. As the heir to this generation, Sheffield understood this.

In a few years, the military of the United States will move from third-rate to second-rate, which will be a huge opportunity for our family.

Finally, there is no need to catch the National Rifle Association sheep for wool. Opportunities always leave to those who are prepared. With their deep friendship with the Democratic Party, the Sheffield family received the largest share of the military expansion resolution, almost all other

Everyone eats steamed buns made of human blood and gets all the shares of the company that makes war fortune.

Towards the end of the year, thanks to the efforts of prison inmates, the construction of factories to serve the oil industry has been completed. This is a reminder to Sheffield, that is, never follow MacArthur's example and say that it must be completed before Thanksgiving.

Nonsense, it turns out that no matter how hard the prison guard tries, he can't keep up with his own hot-headed instructions.

Compared with the minor unhappiness of delayed work, Keane's smooth activities in Boston were constantly conveyed through telegrams. Keane's current thoughts were like convert fanaticism. Convert fanaticism was discovered by psychologists when studying religious cases.

It is generally believed that new believers who are not completely devout are, on the contrary, often more devout and fanatical than the old believers who have "rooted and mature roots". In layman's terms, the foreign devils are more vicious than the foreign devils.

No matter from any angle, from birth to experience, Keane is incompatible with these Dixie shareholders, including Sheffield. Keane was born in Boston and is a pure Yankee. Regardless of geographical division, Boston is

Belongs to the north.

Keane naturally doesn't know that according to history, he should have been the emperor of many Central American banana republics. Now he only knows one thing, he must prove his worth and establish his belongings in front of a group of Dixie shareholders who have doubts about him.

His own position. This is an identity change. He wants to erase his previous experiences so that other shareholders will not regard him as an outsider.

In the process of abandoning the original identity and acquiring a new one, one must undergo a very intense transformation of self-identity, and in this constant psychological suggestion, the recognition and behavior of one's new identity often reach an extreme level.

degree.

Even if they abandon their original identity on the surface, they are still discriminated against and not recognized in the new group. Therefore, they will double their expressions in the hope of gaining recognition, acceptance and favor from the new group.

This kind of thing is not new. It has happened many times around the world. The Swiss Guards fought for Louis XVI. The Ottoman New Army, which has long been the backbone of the Ottoman Empire, are almost all Christians. How many people know the Ottoman Empire?

Almost one-third of the country’s prime ministers are of Christian origin.

Through Kean's frequent telegrams, Sheffield understood that this pure Yankee businessman had almost the same mentality.

"Master William, we have guests!" John Connor walked into the villa and said in a low voice.

"Is it Laura and the others? Edith Rockefeller just left, and I have just had a little leisure time recently." Sheffield rubbed his forehead, Edith Rockefeller was gone, and he was hanging out with this woman who was always in his house for no apparent reason.

He said that he didn't do anything. Only people who spend a lot of time together would believe it, and maybe even they don't believe it.

"No, it's Gale's bakery girl!" John Connor hesitated, "How about I let her leave?"

"Let her come in. She's free. Ask her what's the matter?" Sheffield said tiredly. He would soon pay the price for his loud mouth, but he didn't know it yet.

The name of the girl who came in was Lisa. She was wearing a slender long skirt. Her eyes were slightly dim and a little red and swollen. She must have cried not long ago. She greeted Sheffield politely and then told her what happened with Gale.

In fact, from the moment this girl came in, Sheffield already regretted the slip of the tongue that he just made. Just by looking at him, he knew that this girl must have been dumped.

This is exactly what happened. After listening to Lisa's complaint, Sheffield raised his eyebrows and said truthfully, "Gail has a fiancée. It is impossible for him to marry you. Now you should be glad that he is not married.

, otherwise you will destroy other people’s families.”

"But he concealed this matter before and now he abandons me?" Lisa shouted with excitement, "This is unfair to me. And I love him so much, he shouldn't treat me like this."

"Is it fair to his fiancée to be with you?" Sheffield asked calmly, "Please forgive me for being direct, I am definitely on the side of my partner. You and Gale are in different classes, even if you are in

Problems will arise after we get together. Love does not determine everything. Even if Gale hid his fiancée, based on my understanding of him, he must have mentioned what his family does."

Seeing Lisa nodding, Sheffield said directly, "Since you know his family conditions, you are not innocent. Your so-called love cannot mean anything. You are forcing yourself to cross a class that does not belong to you. Success

You will suddenly transform into a famous lady, an object of envy in the eyes of ordinary people, but haven't you failed? This is the price you must pay."

"I'll give you a book called Madame Bovary's novel, written by a French writer. Let's see if it's similar to you!" Sheffield stood up and left the living room after a while and came back with a book in his hand.

He put a plate of dollars in it and pushed it to the girl, and then said, "After reading this novel, you may want to stop thinking about it."

After the girl reluctantly left, Sheffield smiled coldly and said to John Connor, "Many ordinary people don't understand that moral and ethical constraints are not actually restricting them, but protecting them. But for us,

, the law can be equal to non-existence. If the civilian class wants to cross over to our class, they must expect this consequence."

"Master, I won't let this kind of person in next time." John Connor immediately promised.

"It's not your fault. This is not the first time I've spoken nonsense!" Sheffield almost wanted to slap himself twice, biting his back teeth and said to himself, "This time I'm wiping Gale's butt, but this time
