"Happy New Year!" The two smiled at each other and expressed their best wishes for the future.

"William, I'm an adult now, hold me tight." Anne rubbed her arms in Sheffield's arms and raised her face and said, "Hold me in, what have I been like since I was born and what I am now, what do you want to have?"

Me?"

"Is there anyone who wouldn't want to? I just want me to thank...myself." Sheffield wanted to say something to thank God, but then he thought it was more practical to thank himself for his hard work. Although inheriting property also played a role.

A trivial little favor.

Picking Annie up by the waist, Sheffield walked into the bedroom with firm steps. Happy New Year. According to the saying in the previous life, red represents happiness, and the ancients did not deceive me.

Everything seems to be coming naturally. Anne has been in the United States for three years, although only half of the first year and only one day of the third year have passed. After such a long time, she has already become accustomed to living in Texas. This is what her grandmother said.

This can be reflected in the above sentence.

Although this kind of life is a bit like the bad habits of child brides, it does give the two of them a basis for affection. Besides, those are bad habits, and Sheffield will firmly oppose it. This is just a way to cultivate feelings. What's the point?

That's not right. Assholes hide all the pretty girls one by one, and their chances are not reduced a lot.

As morning dawned, Annie was tidying up the house with messy hair, without the calmness of midnight. Sheffield had to interrupt his first lazy nap and grinned, "What are you hiding?"

Anne was stunned for a moment, right, what are you hiding? It's all a matter of time, but when her eyes fell on the sheets, she still said very shyly, "We can't let the servants come in to clean up."

"Stop making trouble, I've lived in the manor for three years." Sheffield got up while getting dressed, pulled off the sheets and pulled the blushing girl out of the room, "I have a gift for you, I guess it will come in two days

Just there.”

Taking into account the punctuality of railways in this era, Sheffield also added a premise for estimation. Since it is the New Year, in a previous life in a country where gifts were given during any festival, the behavior of dog licking still subconsciously affects contemporary slave owners.

Is there a gift? Anne couldn't help but start to look forward to Sheffield's gift, maybe a diamond ring? It has to be said that Anne's IQ showed a significant downward trend in the face of gifts. Can a small thing like a diamond ring be used for two days? He can

Bring it here directly.

If Anne likes diamond rings, Sheffield will definitely get them, although he has always thought that it is a model for teaching IQ tax. But since it is a very cheap thing, it doesn't matter if it makes the girl happy. Everything depends on whether you can afford it.

If you can't afford it, it's an example of an IQ tax. If you can afford it, it's still very cheap. That's another way of saying, "You poor people can't afford it, but you've done a lot of research."

When his gift arrived at Arlington, Anne knew it was not the diamond ring she had imagined, and her IQ regained its high ground. She stared at the canvas-covered thing, hesitated and said, "Is it a car?" She knew this.

In the past two years, Sheffield United Machinery Company, in addition to developing agricultural machinery, has been researching automobiles, and has also received support from German professionals.

"I don't have any sense of accomplishment from what you did." Sheffield shook his head and smiled bitterly. He might as well be a little cute to give himself a sense of accomplishment. He walked forward and opened the canvas under the eyes of McHale, Gale and others.

, which immediately caused a burst of exclamation.

Sheffield must give a zero mark for this artificial exclamation. After glancing at the others, he walked up to Anne and said, "This is the gift I give you."

"This silver-plated craftsmanship is so good, it's as if it's real." Anne's eyes fell on the car's shell, she praised it again and again, and then said to Sheffield, "William, I like it very much."

"What does the silver plating process mean? It's originally made of silver. Except for the engine, the casing, interior, and wheel hubs are all made of silver." Sheffield didn't speak. Gale was first dissatisfied, "I'm in New Mexico.

I feel aggrieved that I have to work so hard in mining and still suffer unfair treatment!”

McHale nodded repeatedly, expressing his grievances. This car was made of raw materials provided by them. It was obviously a car with a lot of money written on it, but it was said to be fake.

"You went into the mine yourself? It's not that I look down on you, but you don't dare!" Sheffield waved his hand to stop the two from continuing to complain, "I designed this car. Look at the streamlines and the interior, they are all African.

The crocodile skin, the steering wheel, the ivory of an adult African elephant, the seat cushions, the Persian handmade blanket.”

"Okay!" Annie tugged on the corner of Sheffield's clothes and said with a touch of emotion, "I like it very much, but I can't drive it."

"Killed a few people, who in Texas would dare to do anything to us?" Gale shouted nonchalantly, no longer in the same depressed state as when he first returned to China.

"All residents in Arlington are family members of United Company employees. Who do you want to kill? Don't listen to him!" Sheffield was unhappy when he heard this and said to Anne, "Don't listen to them, Manor

If it's big enough, try it slowly. If it doesn't work, let someone else drive it. The driver's basic qualifications include female gender and male preference. Other than that, everything else is easy to say."

After giving instructions to put the car up, Sheffield welcomed a group of guests into the manor. These guests have been cultivating the Great West since the Republican Party came to power. Naturally, there are farmers in the Midwestern states. McHale and the others maintain a relationship with these farmers.

Maintaining a good relationship, we will promote the tractors of the United Company in the Midwest.

In addition, after keen observation and combining history, Sheffield proposed that these alliances enter the mining industry, especially the silver mines in the Great West. First of all, the time was more suitable. After William Bryan lost the election, the supporters were inevitably disappointed.

, a large part of William Bryan's supporters were supporters of silver, called the National Silver Party.

After losing the election, many people in the Silver Party became disheartened and chose to cash out and leave. The value of silver itself is far inferior to gold. After William Bryan lost the election, a group of supporters were harvested.

Sheffield allowed these allies to enter the market at this time. It is not that changing the holders will make silver more important, but that this is the only condition at present, and the initiative of the gold standard is still in the hands of those in Morgan.

The long-term prospects of silver are definitely not good. In the 21st century, it is almost a one-hundred-to-one ratio with gold. But now? There is another factor that can affect this value, such as war. When the cannon goes off, gold is worth ten thousand dollars.

Second, this truth exists everywhere. Once there is a long war and there is not enough gold, silver will be needed to supplement it.

The United States itself does not lack silver mines. It was all snatched from Mexico. New Mexico, Colorado, and California do not lack silver mines. Otherwise, the Spanish Empire occupied the richest place in the Americas. Britain and France occupied other places.

It's all second-class land.

However, the best land produced gold and silver, and the second-class land produced coal and iron. In the end, coal and iron defeated gold and silver. And even if the United States occupied more than half of Mexico, there are still more silver mines in Mexico than in the United States. It can be seen that the first

Spain, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, is not in vain. If its hometown had not been stolen by Napoleon, it would never be in the current situation.

Regarding the silver issue, Sheffield is not really like an octopus that is involved in all industries, because there are many things that deserve more attention on the land of Venezuela, and there are gold mines there. Point it out to McHale and the others.

After I decided to get involved in the silver field, I did not hold any shares.

This kind of behavior that only helps without asking for anything in return is as great as God in the eyes of others.

However, Sheffield is engaged in zinc mines. Although a lot of silver is labeled as primary silver mine, it is actually associated mine. In the future, one mine produced 54,000 tons of zinc and 110,000 tons of lead, and the silver output was 6

1.6 million ounces. Based on this ratio, 6.6 million ounces of silver totals $110 million, which is only 6 percent of total revenue.

For relatively easy money, Sheffield was thinking about the Alliance, so he could only choose associated mines that were not easy to mine to earn some hard-earned money. After Gale, McHale and others entered the silver field, it was considered a shot in the arm for the silver mining industry.

At the same time, I am not just developing in agriculture and animal husbandry.

A group of slave owners were socializing, and Anne led the servants to bring the prepared coffee and placed it in front of the guests.

"My dear partners, congratulations on your success in gaining a foothold in silver in the past year. In the new year, we will continue to move forward." Sheffield did not focus on carrying forward the burden.

There is a noun, transfer it to someone else.

Then the conversation changed. Sheffield paused and said, "But I feel that there will be a lot of big things happening this year. We must make keen judgments and be prepared in advance, so as to maximize our benefits."

"William, do you have any accurate information?" McHale held his hands on the table and looked like he wanted to find out the information.

"Now that the Republican Party is in power, even if there is news, they will not tell us first, but we can analyze it from clues. Moreover, my relationship with Mr. Yang is not always bad, and some of our relationships are not bad." Xie

Field spoke slowly, "Since the second half of last year, Cuba has been popular in newspapers for a long time. Moreover, under high tariffs, domestic competition is fierce. If you were the president, what would you choose?"

Gale lowered his head and meditated, McHale held his chin in his hands and thought hard. The others had different expressions, and they were obviously thinking about this question. After a short silence, everyone already had the answer, and they said in unison, "Manifest Destiny!"
