"Do they all have to be women?" Evelin's red lips were pursed, and she could hang a tow oil bottle, but she didn't notice it herself.

"This is the tradition of our family. Many company managers are female. The population of southern states is only half of that of the north. Excluding black people, only a quarter of the north is left. After the Civil War, men were scarce. Texas

The situation is not too serious. Of course, the population has returned to normal now, and many black people have also left the South." Sheffield explained the reason. At that time, being a man in the southern states was very happy, and there was no shortage of people who wanted to marry.

For your women.

Since there were inevitably more boys and girls after the war, and the head of the Sheffield family was gone, it naturally resulted in the current situation where most company managers were women.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Sheffield's own choice. Subconsciously, he also favors boys over girls. He believes that women cannot be used as livestock like men, and can only find balance by arranging less tiring work.

Furthermore, the personal assistants are a group of men, which is not in line with the modern experience of later generations of advanced secretaries who have something to do and nothing to do...

Now Sheffield has initially experienced the difficulty of moving the family to Texas. Even if you know that a bright future will be waiting for you, making up your mind is another matter. Facing the Great West in this era, Sheffield still has

We must continue to work hard and move forward with a heavy load.

Moreover, the situation he faced was not actually much easier, and was even worse at the political level. When his family moved to Texas, it was a time when the Democratic Party was at its peak and winning consecutive battles. The United States has been in power for a long time.

under the control of the Democratic Party.

Now it's completely different. In fact, even if President Cleveland is a Democrat now. But judging from previous elections, the Democratic Party cannot defeat the Republicans. The Democratic Party's attitude in previous elections is very simple, which is to stabilize the Dixie state in the south and at the same time, in the middle.

The West can steal as much as they can. If it steals too much, it will win. If it doesn't steal, it will remain an honest opposition party.

Even during President Cleveland's term, it was impossible for him to be president based on multi-party elections like those in Europe. This time he lost to the Republicans in terms of numbers.

And now California is in the hands of the Republican Party. Obviously the Democratic Party did not succeed in stealing the chicken in the last election.

However, this advantage can be ignored. The Great West was nothing in the political map of the United States at the end of the 19th century. It had a very small population. It was not like the area where the two parties fought over each other after World War II. It often had the final say.

Californians do not tend to be divided between the Democratic and Republican parties. From Evelin, the description of the election heard in Sheffield is very interesting. In many cases, organizations like the California Workers Party are the most enthusiastic groups to vote, similar to Eve

Lin's family is not very interested in the election.

"The first governor of California was a Democrat. In fact, the industrial environment here is similar to that of Texas. Although I am a Texan, I feel very close to California." Sheffield half-truthfully told Evelyn.

Close relationships.

Although the United States Consortium seems to have one hand covering the sky, there is still some balance with the parties. Matters that do not involve vital interests can still live in harmony with the connections of the two parties. In later generations of Korea, it was called "one hand covering the sky" and chaebols.

Joining forces to control 80% of the country's economy is something that the major conglomerates in the United States cannot do.

Therefore, it is impossible for any consortium to interfere in the national election. Even the Sheffield family, in the special environment of the Dixie people, can at most maintain a harmonious cooperative relationship in exchange for a sense of unyielding recognition.

However, there are more than forty states in the United States. If you want to manipulate a certain state, you can actually try it. Especially in the large western states, which are still small and transparent on the political map of the United States. They are sparsely populated and desolate.

Out of sight of mainstream politicians.

In later generations, there was a term for states that did not have an advantage, called swing states, which refers to states where the two parties in the election are evenly matched and neither has a clear advantage. In previous general elections, they often swing to different parties and frequently swing. California is now considered a swing state.

state, rather than a Democratic stronghold that would switch sides in later generations.

There are two advantages of a small population and geographical isolation. That is, it is easy to identify the interest direction of this group with a small population. Geographical isolation means that there are few channels for receiving information from the outside world. The local area must be the main channel for receiving information. And this

California in the 1960s was actually not the same industrially as the Yankee territory in the north, but had some similarities with the southern states.

The Electoral College does not protect the interests of small states. What protects the interests of small states is the Senate system. Regardless of the number of people in the state, there are always two senators. The Electoral College votes are distributed according to the population of the state. How to protect small states?

?Binding the Electoral College system and the Senate to explain the balance between large and small states is a kind of Spring and Autumn writing method. Instead, it is limited to elections in a few swing states.

"Among the newspapers that the boss acquired last time, there was naturally a local newspaper in Los Angeles, called the Los Angeles Times. It was a small newspaper that had just been less than ten years old. The acquisition price was five thousand US dollars. Like most acquisitions, the boss has always been pursuing

Take control and keep the original team to continue working!" John Connor actually didn't know the results of the last battle to win over public opinion. He only found out after sending a telegram to the Arlington base camp. Now, in front of Evelin, he was carrying out the attack on Sheffield.

report.

Los Angeles Times? Sheffield seems to remember that this is the same as the name of a very famous newspaper in later generations, but it is not worthy of too much attention. He has already included Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola in his pocket. Isn’t the Rockefeller family more famous than others? He has a different burden.

Moving forward?

"John is a senior? Huh? Not a secretary anyway. You will be responsible for this kind of work from now on." Sheffield turned to Evelin and spoke, reflecting the boss's expectations and tolerance for his confidants, "The current conditions are simple.

, I may have to work hard for you, and when the Secretariat has enough manpower, you will feel more relaxed."

"I got it, boss!" Evelin cherishes this job. After all, the salary is much better than that of the previous conductor, and Sheffield is also a boss with a very good attitude.

"What's your name, boss? You can call me by my name." Sheffield smiled gently. Who wouldn't like a boss with such ability as himself? If it were him, he would choose not to work hard.

But when you start a business, you can move forward with a heavy load, but you must continue to work hard. Now back to the starting point of everything, since I feel that moving to California to develop is no less great than moving to Texas, I must devote myself to it.

Integrate in. However, after some investigation, it seems that there is no transaction that can quickly return funds.

The real estate business is definitely not bad. Even in Los Angeles, the center of California, real estate is worthless. The housing prices in the United States are controlled by an invisible hand. At least part of this invisible hand also belongs to the Sheffield family.

That's a gun.

Once a large number of black people appear in a community, the housing prices in this community will plummet. But the skin color of the black people does not play an important role. If they are all bare-handed, how can the white people with the numerical advantage care about a few black people? The key is the United States.

There is no ban on guns. As a result, even among the mainstream group, white people are still in the minority who dare to risk their lives.

Once shooting cases occur frequently, real estate prices everywhere will decline. What is the point of buying a house? Isn't it for the safety of the family? Having your own home is a haven for the soul. If it is not safe, the real estate is useless.

Even some communities with good security later learned this trick. Once the community becomes too stable over time, someone will shoot twice in their own community to regulate the environment of the community, deter outsiders, and at the same time create trouble for the police.

Do.

Sheffield can't cut off the family's main profit for the sake of real estate. Isn't this a left-handed attack on the right? What's more, if you cut off your own hand, aren't there other gun manufacturers?

It was not possible to engage in real estate. The population was not enough, so he could only think of other ways. After thinking for a long time, he had to admit that California was not a place with particularly good basic conditions in the United States. The reason why future generations were able to suppress

Texas' dominance really has a lot to do with facing Asia. In addition to two important factors, one is Silicon Valley in San Francisco and the other is Hollywood in Los Angeles.

Apart from these two factors, California's foundation itself is not as good as Texas'.

Half a month after arriving in Los Angeles, Sheffield has already planned several suitable industries. Agriculture and animal husbandry are the foundation, and some subdivided processing industries can also be developed. However, there is really no way for him to copy it in Silicon Valley, but there is one

The place name caught Sheffield's attention, and he had already set out to investigate.

Real estate agent Harvey Wilcox bought a 0.6 square kilometer piece of land in the suburbs of Los Angeles. When Cox's wife was traveling, she heard a person next to her say that she was from a place called Hollywood, Ohio.

She liked the name of the place very much. After returning to California, she planted a large number of holly trees brought from Scotland.

Today's Hollywood Manor has only one street, much like a common manor in the southern states. There are hundreds of residents living here. Sheffield's arrival makes the owner of Hollywood Manor very happy. It seems that he has discovered something hidden in Sheffield.

The shining point, such as the essence of the krypton gold boss.

"It's such a beautiful place. It's no trouble to come here to visit." Sheffield stepped out of the carriage and nodded to the owner of the place. His eyes even became sparkling. This is the predecessor of DreamWorks.
