Chapter 228 William Rockefeller

Although it took a long time to travel to Asia, the experience of carrying a heavy load has still yielded very rich rewards. This can be reflected in the stocks of Sheffield's listed companies.

Coca-Cola's stock price nearly doubled. During the war between the United States and Spain, Coca-Cola's advertising slogan that Coca-Cola would appear wherever the U.S. military was present was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At the same time, the United Fruit Company also became famous because it also stepped on the corpses of the Spanish to establish the hegemony of the United States in the Americas. The United Fruit Company's stock has approached 40 million U.S. dollars. Including other income, Sheffield is now worth

Passed the fifty million dollar mark.

As for the businesses independently controlled by the United Company family, they have not been included. What is this concept? This is equivalent to the value of Sheffield's shares in the stock market, which is almost the same as the DuPont Consortium.

Of course, the actual value is far less than that of the DuPont Consortium. If Sheffield chooses to cash out, it is still unknown how much money it can collect. The heavy assets under the DuPont Consortium are difficult to estimate.

But the United Company also has a large amount of heavy assets. Now the strength of the United Company has firmly suppressed the DuPont Consortium. Not counting the family industry, Sheffield's current assets are definitely not as good as those of other rich people in the United States, and will not exceed two

One hand.

"I heard that Morgan and Rockefeller are having a negotiation recently. Is it true?" Sheffield asked McHale, with a hint of surprise on his face. He thought that the relationship between the two could not be improved after the Mexican debt problem.

It can be said that they are like fire and water, but there must be a little subtlety. I didn't expect to be able to discuss business together.

The Merthyr Mine in the United States contains rich iron ore, and it is the property of Rockefeller. However, the Rockefeller family, because they are focused on the oil industry, cannot take into account some facts. Therefore, Rockefeller does not know the true value of this mine.

, so that the iron ore in this mountain has not been mined for a long time.

After Morgan learned the news, he coveted it and wanted to buy the mine and then organize his own personnel to mine it. Although they had not had much contact, the two had only met once before and had not spoken.

Naturally, Morgan did not dare to look down on a big boss like Rockefeller. He went to the door in person and solemnly explained his intention to Rockefeller. The cunning Rockefeller did not know the true intention of Morgan's visit, so he vaguely stated that he was now taking a back seat.

The business has been handed over to his son Rockefeller Jr. to manage.

After hearing McHale explain the whole story, Sheffield laughed dumbly and said, "Standard Oil is managed by Rockefeller Jr.? Rockefeller Jr., like me, is usually responsible for the operation of Standard Oil, but in fact, when big things happen, he still has to tell his father.

Just like me communicating with my grandmother, this matter is still too early."

"But I want to get some information from Edith!" Sheffield sighed smartly, and suddenly saw McHale looking strange, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"I heard that Edith Rockefeller seemed to have a child. You don't know about this in the Philippines, but it is widely spread in the country." McHale smiled bitterly and said, "No one knows who this child is.

Dice Rockefeller didn't say anything either, so I suggest you don't contact her."

Sheffield stood up, twisting his neck, and suddenly shouted, "Jesra, book a ticket and send me to Chicago. Bring more people and ask the supermarket chain in Chicago to prepare guns."

He had just returned to Los Angeles, and even Annie hadn't left yet, but these were small things, and he couldn't tolerate the forgiveness on his head! Edith Rockefeller had to give herself an explanation for this matter.

"What's wrong?" As soon as Anne came in and saw Sheffield with a stern face, she looked at McHale as if it was none of my business and asked, "McHale!"

"Annie, this has nothing to do with me!" McHale swallowed and stammered to explain.

"I'm going to Chicago to visit the steel plant. After all, I've been in the Philippines for so long and I still don't know what's going on in the country." Sheffield explained first, "Maybe I won't send you back to Texas."

At this time, Sheffield showed amazing restraint. Although he felt his head buzzing when he spoke, he still did not show any abnormality in front of Anne.

"That's it!" McHale helped from the side. He had regained his senses and indicated that it was not a big deal. "William was thinking of a new round of mergers and acquisitions, and he happened to be going to Chicago. You also know that William's most important thing is

Safety."

"That's right, safety first. Our country's crime detection rate is only 13%. How can we not pay attention to safety?" Sheffield walked to Annie and slowed down his voice, "You should also pay attention to safety. When you go out,

It’s not like the company can’t afford to have more people around me.”

Sheffield is not slandering the police of the United States. This is a very real crime detection rate. Don't be surprised, except for the skill of killing on the spot, the police of the United States are unparalleled in the rest of the world. This crime detection rate is already very loose.

, includes the scope of acquittal and acquittal by the court, which means that if the police arrest a person and the court decides that the person is not guilty, the case can be regarded as solved by the police.

One hundred years later, has the probability of the United States police solving murder cases increased? Thanks to technological advancement, of course it has greatly increased. It has greatly increased to more than 30% of the crime detection rate. In other words, ten people commit murders and seven people commit murders.

Able to escape. At the same time, the murder detection rate in the Republic was only 90%, which is very consistent with the idiom of narrow escape from death.

This does not include the fact that many homicide cases are just street shootings and will not enter the process of solving the case at all. This is what Chinese police detective Li Changyu said personally, and the detection rate is even lower.

The police force in the United States is only of such a high standard, so given the national conditions, how could a man of his worth go out without being careful? There are so many bastards who hate the rich in this world.

Sheffield personally asked the Alamo Guards to send Annie back, but when she left, she turned into a dead person. This matter was not over. It must not be just because Edith Rockefeller was a member of the Rockefeller family and the younger Rockefeller's sister.

He couldn't accept this kind of shame.

"Let's go to Chicago!" Sheffield looked back at the dense crowd of black gold employees behind Jesla, waved his hand and boarded the train.

Two days later, Sheffield, who was thinking about how to build an airplane, sent a telegram to Arlington as soon as he arrived in Chicago, asking whether the airplane had been successfully developed. Then he took a bunch of bodyguards and rushed directly to Edith Rockefeller.

villa.

This formation shocked everyone in the villa. Although Sheffield had visited with many bodyguards before, something seemed a little wrong this time.

"What are you doing? Bringing so many people here." Edith Rockefeller covered her mouth and exclaimed when she saw Sheffield's appearance of asking for revenge, "Wait a minute..."

"What? Where is your husband?" Sheffield stared at Edith Rockefeller's face and said rudely, "I heard that Mrs. Edith gave birth to a baby. I came here to congratulate her just after I returned to China. Where is she? Let me take a look.

.”

"Don't interrupt me, just come up with me!" Edith Rockefeller gave Sheffield a fierce look. She still didn't know what he was here for? She led Sheffield upstairs, reluctantly.

He opened his mouth and said, "You told me a story about a murderer before. Do you want to kill me too this time?"

"You're still reasonable. If you were in the Ottomans, you would be buried alive by now." Sheffield seemed to feel the buzzing in his head again. He followed Edith Rockefeller into the room and saw a few-month-old baby.

Slept very sweetly.

Before Sheffield wanted to curse, Edith Rockefeller pointed to the crib and asked, "Do you want to kill both mother and son now? I took the risk and sacrificed the family honor to give birth to your son. As a result,

You just came back to the country and you came here to kill someone? Do you think I'm sorry for you? He is your son."

Sheffield's face was cold and full of doubts. He looked at the baby who had not been woken up, then looked at Edith Rockefeller's obviously plump figure, and asked suspiciously, "When was he born?"

With a birth certificate on his face, and looking at the date of birth, Sheffield calculated that he happened to be in Chicago, and he believed it in his heart. He mocked himself dryly, "If you have it, then you have it. As for giving birth secretly?"

"I'm much older than you, and you and I are not married." Edith Rockefeller curled her lips and said dissatisfied, "Who knows what you are thinking? If you force me to do something for the sake of the reputation of the Sheffield family, I won't

Anything you want to do is possible, aren't you just bringing people to kill people and silence them?"

"No!" Sheffield denied flatly, shaking his head like a rattle, "I always travel with so many people, and Ni knows that the police in the United States are almost useless. It is better to believe in them than to believe in yourself."

Sheffield once again brought the police out to beat the corpse without any psychological barriers. Sheffield's uninformed manner made Edith Rockefeller deeply despised. She interrupted, "I asked you if you want to kill us, mother and son!"

"Edith!" Sheffield said that this matter had not happened in a short time. From the cooperative relationship to the mutual hostility between the two parties, how could he let go of such a high-status mistress? Finally, he changed the subject and asked, "Is it a boy? What's his name?"

"Call William Rockefeller, after my last name!" Edith Rockefeller raised her head slightly, and her voice was not controlled well, which woke the baby up and started crying.
