Chapter 229 Mergers and Acquisitions

"Baby, mommy loves you. You were born to me. It's not like you have a slave owner, then you are a bastard. And I want to come and kill you..." Edith Rockefeller held the baby in her arms and shook her, and she didn't forget to express her gratitude to everyone.

Field dismissed it as nothing, "The key is that you don't dare to admit it, talk about safety issues, and go fool Satan."

"Are you cursing me to go to hell?" Sheffield watched Edith Rockefeller breastfeeding and licked his lips and said, "If there are other places to worry about, there is one thing that you don't have to worry about. My son will never go hungry.

, I was even afraid that he was drunk."

"Of course, it's big!" Edith Rockefeller glanced at Sheffield provocatively, "If it's so big, what else does your son have? The child and my surname Rockefeller have nothing to do with you as a slave owner. Do you dare to admit that there is

Illegitimate child?"

"I misunderstood. How could I be a threat to the daughter of the Rockefeller family? I'm not that kind of person." Sheffield gave in to the lies and put on a dog-licking look and said, "Edith, do you remember this room? There is one here.

We have a lot of wonderful memories, and I became a real man here."

"Back then, I pretended to be like Jesus being reborn, but look at his shameless face now." Edith Rockefeller curled her lips and sneered, "Why are you so hypocritical? Don't you say that slave owners in the South dare to do anything?"

"The group of people who dared to act were killed by the hypocritical Yankees. The rest are hypocrites like me." Sheffield chuckled, unmoved by the woman's ridicule. Now Edith

Rockefeller was furious, so whatever he said was understandable. After some in-depth communication, everything would be fine.

When it was clear at dawn, Edith Rockefeller put on a pajamas and got up. At the same time, she woke up Sheffield, who was carrying a heavy load, and said, "You are so young, why can't you wake up?"

"Edith, do you blame me for this?" Sheffield looked helpless, lifted the quilt and said, "Find me a set of clothes."

After breakfast, Edith Rockefeller had calmed down after an in-depth exchange. Nunu said, "All your bodyguards have crowded my manor. I can't find a place for them to live."

"Please bear with me, they have to stay with me. Now I'm afraid that your brother will show up at some time and kill me!" Sheffield simply finished off the two fried eggs, wiped his mouth and said, "Now I feel like never before.

Really, the bodyguard is the person I should trust the most, the United States is more dangerous than the Philippines."

"Are you proud of your trip to China?" Edith Rockefeller muttered, "That's up to you, I want to see my son!"

"That's the Philippines, not China." Sheffield rolled his eyes. He felt that Edith Rockefeller had exposed the top secrets of the citizens of the United States. Many citizens were very lacking in basic knowledge.

Later, Russia attacked Georgia, which aroused the anger of many citizens of the United States. What? Russia dared to attack the United States? Who made Georgia and Georgia have the same name?

"Your joint company has made a lot of money. How much war business has it contracted?" Edith Rockefeller held her child and asked with interest. "It also bought a lot of Spanish plantations and how much land it swallowed up?"

"More than 3.3 million acres, right? That's all that's left now!" Sheffield put his hands in his pockets and made a simple calculation. "Based on the share of the war, it is considered to have contracted 47% of the share. Including guns and military food.

, there is no other way. After all, many of the navy's businesses cannot be carried out and can only provide some basic services. The land is included in the acquisition of small countries in Central America, which is considered an expense and not an income. As for some items, including antiques and art

There is no way to put a price on something like this. If you say it is valuable, it is worth a penny. If you say it is not valuable, it is not worth a penny."

"The stocks of United Fruit Company, supermarket chains and Coca-Cola Company have all risen sharply. You didn't calculate this. You really spent money. You almost followed the expeditionary force. Wherever the army went, you made money.

Edith Rockefeller's eyes lit up and she was equally happy for Sheffield, "War is really profitable."

"For example, your father made material reserves during the Civil War, and even made a lie to say that he could not serve as a soldier." Sheffield teased tacitly, and then pretended to be modest, "As for the fact that I made all the money, then

Not necessarily. There are still many departments in the United Company that are not very strong. There are still tens of thousands of people waiting to eat. When you wake up every morning, there are tens of thousands of expenses. How do you calculate this?"

"The output of the Texas oil fields alone can cover the expenses of all departments of your combined company, right?" Edith Rockefeller said in disbelief, "I heard from John that the reserve estimates every month are

If it goes up, that piece of land was actually bought by your grandfather. It’s unbelievable. How much land does the United Company have in its hands?”

"Shouldn't I tell you? Only my grandmother knows about agriculture, animal husbandry and land. I never ask. I don't know about this. I am responsible for new industries!" Sheffield spread his hands and asked, "Standard Oil's

The industry is not just about oil, right? Does your brother John know all about it? Why don't you ask your father for advice, such as the mining issue? Doesn't it arouse Morgan's concern? "

"That mine was just purchased by my father at the time, and it cost only fifty thousand US dollars. But since the oil fields were discovered on your land, Standard Oil began to pay attention to the land and minerals that it had purchased." Edith Locke

Fei was originally full of explanations, but she struggled, "But it doesn't belong to me!"

This woman is so greedy! Sheffield doesn't know how to evaluate this kind of behavior. At this time, the United States is already very good. Old Rockefeller was a very good example of women. He gave tens of millions of dollars in stock to Edith Rockefeller.

Still don’t dislike it enough?

"There will be bread, there will be milk, there will be everything." Sheffield could only persuade him.

"Those things are just ordinary things, of course they will be there." Edith Rockefeller looked at Sheffield strangely, "But I can't let my son live like this."

This evil bourgeoisie! Sheffield held his forehead helplessly. This is not far from eating minced meat.

But he also knew that Morgan's discussion with Rockefeller didn't seem to be going well this time. If the two families were in harmony in history, now there seems to be a little gap. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. Everything still needs to be done.

We'll see.

"Morgan is from the financial industry, and my father is more interested in industry. Standard Oil's target is too big. Antitrust laws have been chasing our family, but they turned a blind eye to Morgan's involvement in the steel industry. It is really unfair." Put his son to sleep.

Then, Edith Rockefeller couldn't help complaining, "Why should we target our family?"

"It should be that Morgan has too many friends." Sheffield thought for a moment and could only give this answer. The shareholders of Morgan Alliance should be the most powerful group of wealthy people in the United States. On the contrary, other companies do not have their own fans.

But compared to the Morgan Alliance, it's almost like fighting alone.

Now Sheffield sees that the financial industry is so determined to intervene in the industry, and is a little worried. Really few people can handle the capital flow in the financial industry. The real enterprise itself has bigger goals than the financial industry, and the capital flow is not yet

There are many opponents. If this continues, history has almost reached the time of Morgan's death. Except for a few competitors of Standard Oil, it seems that most companies have been defeated.

As for why Standard Oil was able to withstand, this is because old Rockefeller left us prematurely at the age of ninety-eight. Old Rockefeller lived more than twenty years longer than old Morgan, and led his family to withstand the Morgan Alliance.

Impact, and finally overtaken it.

"These bankers want to swallow up all our industrial companies. They are too greedy. We have no contact with each other. Does Morgan want to be the emperor of everyone?" Sheffield was not very comfortable with this and said,

"I don't believe that everyone will bow to Morgan's money."

"What? You just came back from Asia, are you going to compete with the Morgans?" Edith Rockefeller felt guilty after hearing Sheffield's words, and asked with great interest, "Let's have an economic Civil War?"

"I don't have the strength now, but I still have my own goals. Anyway, most industrialists are in the same situation as me. United Company is even stronger, and Morgan can't swallow United Company." Sheffield said proudly, "If big companies

Most people can accept it, but on the premise of preserving my own company, there is nothing I can't accept."

Now his main target is Laughlin Rand Company, in addition to United Company and DuPont Consortium. Rand Company is also a company that survives in the field of gunpowder, but compared to United Company and DuPont Consortium, its scope of business is smaller.

It is much smaller. The field of gunpowder is naturally very important to Sheffield and DuPont. Losing it may be painful, but it will not cause the two companies to go bankrupt.

The Rand Corporation is a company mainly engaged in the gunpowder business. Once the profitability in this field is not satisfactory, the company is in danger of bankruptcy. The Rand Corporation, unlike Sheffield and DuPont, is a giant in the same field.

Sheffield's purpose is very simple, to merge this company with the money just earned from the war.

"I knew you would have something else to do when you came back!" Edith Rockefeller followed Sheffield quietly out of the baby's bedroom and whispered, "Since the death of Henry Dupont, the style of DuPont Company has turned conservative. Originally, Standard Oil

They wanted to squeeze out DuPont, but the antitrust law saved their lives. Now it is most suitable for you to complete it. DuPont has also acquired some small businesses in recent years, but it is definitely not as big as yours."

"This has nothing to do with handwriting or not. I have also been to the front line in the Philippines. The company's profits are earned through hard work. I have not stopped the DuPont family. They can go too." Sheffield was dissatisfied with Edith Rockefeller.
