The current average temperature in Chicago is definitely not friendly, and it is not suitable for starting construction immediately. This is what makes Sheffield dissatisfied. He wants to start construction now, but no, the ground is still frozen.

"The climate here in Chicago is really unfriendly. Now the southern states are vigorously promoting electrification, but nothing can be done here." Sheffield complained helplessly, disgusted with this climate.

"There's nothing we can do about it. It's a climate problem. You know it's colder in the north." Edith Rockefeller elegantly picked up the coffee, blew a breath, and drank it bit by bit.

"No, the south is colder than the north, this is a magic attack!" Sheffield challenged the reflexive argument.

"Thermometers don't lie, so who are you fooling?" Edith Rockefeller raised the corners of her mouth and said disdainfully.

"No, it's just that it's cold in the south, because it's humid and cold, and it's uncomfortable!" Sheffield argued relentlessly, trying to make Edith Rockefeller agree with him.

He is no longer a northerner in this life. As a citizen of the southern United States, his position has naturally changed. So now the southern part of the United States is hotter than the north in summer, colder in winter than in the north, and more livable in spring and autumn than in the north. Anyway, it is better in every aspect.

If necessary, he could make a statistical report to prove that the citizens of the South lived longer than the Yankees of the North.

As for a small problem like the thermometer, its existence prevents me from feeling superior as a southern citizen, so it is naturally false.

A bare hand was placed on Sheffield's forehead. Edith Rockefeller curled her lips and shook her head and said, "You don't have a fever. How about you consider camping outside for a night?"

"Then you won't freeze to death?" Sheffield stretched out his fingers and pinched the young woman's hand. He was arguing, but he didn't have an IQ problem, so he had to do something that only a mental patient could do. In fact, even mental patients

Even mental patients know how to migrate to warmer places. If he does this, the first patient of Arkham Asylum will be born.

Very good, the boss who invests in protecting marginalized people in society has become the first patient in the mental hospital, and the wealth does not go to outsiders.

"That's true!" Edith Rockefeller chuckled and exhaled, "How could I be willing to let you freeze to death?"

You are just greedy for my body! Sheffield moved his butt and kept within an appropriate distance. He regretted his idea of ​​spending big money instead of saving small money. He obviously spent so much money on business activities, but he was in Edith Rockefeller's villa.

It saves on accommodation fees, which is really enough.

In fact, since January, the electrification of southern states has been fully implemented. A team led by Tesla is responsible for planning and equipment manufacturing. Equipment manufacturing is mainly divided into two parts, with its own electric company and Westinghouse Electric respectively.

Manufacturing is done at the same time. As for manpower, Texas uses prisoners from private prisons as the main force. With the goal of being faster, faster, more cost-effective, it launches all projects like locusts.

The most important thing is speed. All other indicators can be put aside first. Solve any problems first and consider other problems. This is not because Sheffield does not respect life. In fact, industrial accidents are everywhere in the United States.

Yes, it happens every day. Not only does he disrespect life, but other bosses also disrespect it.

The use of criminals as the main construction force has fully proved that Sheffield attaches great importance to the safety of citizens. Incidentally, it saves costs, which is a good thing for everyone.

As for places outside of Texas, farmers from all over the South need help. They can do it if they don’t have the money, but they have to contribute. The Dixie people are watching, and it involves the reputation issue based on the southern states. Basically, they participate

Farmers will not make political mistakes at this time and prove that they stand with the majority of Dixie people.

As for funding, after the official promotion of electrification, everyone has understood the existence of First Bank of Boston, which provides impetus for the electrification of southern states through financing loans. This has surprised many financial professionals, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully.

It turns out that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

In this era, the relationship between the Boston Consortium and the Morgan Alliance was still in an era of clear distinction. In the past few decades, the major consortiums in the United States were no longer in this shape. They controlled and penetrated each other, and they had already formed a system of mutual control and penetration.

In my situation, in fact, among the Boston financial groups in later generations, many families have become in-laws with Morgan and Rockefeller, and there is no longer internal intermarriage like now.

When it comes to internal intermarriage, the DuPont family likes to do this most. People outside the DuPont family cannot hold top management positions. Intermarriage is even used within the family to prevent the spillover of family property. In the third generation, there are at least ten members of the family.

They married cousins ​​and became the family with the most consanguineous marriages in the United States.

By giving others freedom, the Dupont family can amass wealth anyway. Don’t say that they don’t want to do this in Sheffield. Even if they want to do it, there are no candidates. This generation is the only one. If the two unexpected factors in Paris are not included, there is indeed only

He was carrying a heavy load alone and struggling hard.

He is a Dixie man from the South, and he has stayed in Chicago for such a long time. Who can say that it is not hard?

Finally, when the severe cold left and spring blossomed, after a period of living, Sheffield had completely regarded Edith Rockefeller's private residence as his own office and was looking through the monthly accounts of forty supermarket chains. As for John

Connor went to the train station and watched the processed steel being loaded onto the train and shipped to Texas.

Steel will undergo secondary processing when it arrives in Texas. The iron ore in the United States is mainly distributed in the northeastern states. The same is true for coal. However, there are coal mines in Texas. Although the reserves are not as good as those in the northern states, they are completely sufficient.

, after a deep processing, it will enter the workshop for the next step of finished product manufacturing.

Thanks to the German guys who spent a lot of money to hire, the various processes and technical reserves are not a problem. After all, it is an industry paved with money, and everything is the latest.

Like supermarket chains, the vast number of farmers have a strong interest in Iron Horse tractors to improve production efficiency. Steel is more powerful than livestock, and the sales situation is still very gratifying. Of course, because the national conditions of each country are different, tractors powered by internal combustion engines,

It is very in line with the national conditions of the United States. It is powerful but consumes a lot of fuel, so in another aspect, the beneficiary is the Rockefeller family.

This aroused young Rockefeller's strong interest, and he had already sent a telegram to come to Chicago and have an in-depth discussion. Sheffield estimated that it was just a better outlook for the oil industry, and there would be nothing else. Is it possible to talk about it?

The pharmaceutical industry? The Rockefeller family produced special drugs for mentally ill patients?

As Sheffield recalled, the society a hundred years later did not seem to exist. They were all sedatives.

Sheffield stretched and walked to the window. Green grass sprouts had appeared on the ground, indicating that the spring season had begun. This was a good sign. At the beginning of 16th year, he

We have reversed the situation, got rid of the style of people being stupid and making too much money, and can finally make profits like the majority of fellow capitalists.

This is not an easy task. Together with the United Fruit Company, it has purchased patents, updated factory equipment, invited European technicians, and opened supermarkets. Last year, Sheffield invested Edith Rockefeller's shares in about three

Tens of millions of dollars, even if he is the sole heir to a large Texas landowner, he cannot continue for a long time.

"Hey, what are you doing, coward!" Edith Rockefeller pushed open the door and saw Sheffield looking up into the distance. She couldn't help but joked, "Living in other people's homes every day and not going out, hooking up with married women, is that?

Aren't you afraid?"

"Stop making trouble, I'm just staying here!" Sheffield turned around and immediately looked at the scenery outside the window, pretending to be serious, "Even if this is your home, could you please dress more formally? I am a future person."

adult."

This is Edith Rockefeller's villa. Of course it is her freedom to wear whatever she wants in her home. But if you wear pajamas, you can wear pajamas. Why do you lift up your pajamas to reveal your underwear? What does this mean?

?Who do you want to stun?

Sheffield calmed down, he felt a little dizzy now.

"I'm just telling you that we have guests at home today!" Edith Rockefeller didn't take it seriously. She came over and put a hand on Sheffield's shoulder.

"You're going to dress like this when you have guests at home?" Sheffield looked back at Edith Rockefeller's face, looked down, swallowed lightly, and made a muffled sound in his throat.

"Of course you can't wear it like this, I'm just telling you this!" Edith Rockefeller unhurriedly buttoned up her pajamas one by one under Sheffield's gaze. Finally, the undulating mountains were hidden.

In the barrier, "Mr. William McKinley has been in Chicago recently, and I happened to send someone over today to ask if they could meet. I have already agreed, and will be here around noon."

"Is that a Republican? Then should I find a place to go? You also know that our family has always supported Democrats!" Sheffield thought about it and realized that this seemed to be the name of a senior Republican.

"No, any Republican or Democratic candidate is a good candidate who can protect our interests!" Edith Rockefeller dragged Sheffield and said laboriously, "Come to my room and see what clothes are more formal."
