"To be honest, the decision to reduce taxes on large companies is not something that ordinary companies can do. I deeply admire several large companies in Delaware!" Sheffield chirped, "Maybe it's envy, because

United cannot do the same thing in Texas. You also know that tariffs have been higher since the Republicans came to power."

"What does it matter to you if the tariffs are raised? Agricultural and animal husbandry products are not easy to export?" Edith Rockefeller said in great surprise, "Given the size of the United Company, the impact of the tariffs on your family will be limited. It is said that the main impact will be on your family.

It’s a small business, what’s the logic in this?”

"The logic is that the smuggling industry is booming. This is what the United Company is doing in the first place. Asking the state council to reduce taxes will definitely trigger a backlash. You must take care of the interests of other people." Sheffield told his mistress clearly, and

It’s not that he doesn’t want to learn from the DuPont Consortium, but it’s that he doesn’t have the foundation to replicate it.

How could he eat his own meat and leave some soup for others? The problem was that United Company had been in the smuggling industry for much longer than he, the heir, and a large part of the smuggling business was developed by the Black Gold Company.

Sheffield would definitely not be willing to let Sheffield take the main business of the Black Gold Company in exchange for tax cuts from the Texas Legislature. The connections in Texas were not as important as the private armed forces directly affiliated with the United Company.

You want the state Legislature to reduce taxes without paying anything, considering that the headquarters of smuggling in the United States is your own home. There is not much oil and water that can be scraped from the tariff issue. If you eat it yourself, the Texas government will not even have a hair.

Even if you can't get it, it won't work, so Edith Rockefeller said she wanted to copy it. He knew that he couldn't copy Delaware's actions because he couldn't offer similar terms in exchange.

"Furthermore, can Delaware, a state with a big nose, be comparable to Texas? The area of ​​Texas is a hundred times that of Delaware, and the relationship that needs to be opened cannot be compared with Delaware.

, if you want to ask me for something from the Arlington City Government, I don’t even need to hold a meeting with the city council. I just need to send someone to the city hall to say it. The son of the mayor of Arlington is an employee of the United Company, but even in the

It’s arrogant, and I dare not say that more than two million Texans work for United.”

"That's such a pity!" After listening to this, Edith Rockefeller realized that there were so many differences in it, and it was really not a problem that could be solved by copying the DuPont Consortium.

"So in the end we still have to compete for market share. The DuPont Consortium is not easy to deal with. No one knows how much the industrial and mining industry in their company's hands can be valued. Just like the land of the joint company, it is an incalculable asset.

, it may not seem like much, but everyone knows how many treasures are hidden inside?" Sheffield said enviously, "Among the old companies, the DuPont family has a history second only to the First Bank of Boston represented by Adams, although it is not like

Like your father, Morgan, Vanderbilt, and Carnegie, they were invincible under the leadership of geniuses for a short period of time, but after a hundred years, it is scary enough."

Although Sheffield said he was envious in a pretended tone, he was actually very envious. He never dreamed that this kind of operation existed in the late nineteenth century? It was his first interview where he witnessed the trickle-down effect.

And there are always risks in the first operation, such as this trickle-down effect. Although the citizens of the United States are not very smart now, the atmosphere among the people is definitely better than that of stupid people a hundred years later when happy education is fully rolled out.

Normal people will definitely be dissatisfied with this explanation. Thinking about it this way, Sheffield should use the media and newspapers in his hands to attack the Delaware State Legislature and push the reputation of DuPont to the bottom. But it seems that the DuPont family does not

People probably don't care about a good reputation.

Furthermore, this involves a very real issue. Sheffield cannot betray his own class. He knows that the trickle-down effect theory is a fool. Capital will never dislike its own profit difference and will lay off employees when it is time to lay off employees. But he is just a

Capitalists, what DuPont is doing now is just what he wants to do in the future.

Sheffield also wants to seal the upward space for citizens as soon as possible and build a tight filter. Therefore, it must shut up on this matter. Even if it does not praise it and say it is a blessing, it cannot criticize Delaware.

state actions.

"Your man is worried, can't you comfort me?" Sheffield squinted at Edith Rockefeller, pointed at his face and said, "You didn't even realize that I'm so worried?"

Edith Rockefeller looked at Sheffield amusedly, walked over, lowered her head, and unbuttoned the man's belt.

"I just want to ask for comfort!" Sheffield swallowed the words that came to his lips. Others have done this, how can he not appreciate it?

On the surface, the DuPont Consortium is a trust, but in fact it is a Consortium, that is, a variety of enterprise groups. Although the DuPont Consortium does not involve the banking industry that is most important to general Concerns. This has resulted in the multi-faceted nature of the DuPont Consortium.

Under the wings of the DuPont Consortium, many members of the DuPont family also have their own companies.

This company, which is also a member of the DuPont family, seems to have nothing to do with the DuPont conglomerate, but there is a saying that blood is thicker than water, which is also common in the United States. A few years later, after the death of Eugene DuPont, the three founders of the company

Great-grandsons Thomas Clermont Dupont, Alfred Irene Dupont and Pierre Samuel Dupont purchased the DuPont Company.

Could they use the money in the company to buy the head office? Naturally, they used other wealth in their own names to take over the DuPont Consortium and control the DuPont Consortium with their personal property.

In fact, the Sheffield United Company has a similar model. In the sugar industry, the United Company is now a trust, but the sugar trust is just one industry within the United Company.

"Yeah!" Sheffield snorted secretly. Edith Rockefeller had already stood up. There was still a trace on the corner of her mouth. She turned and went to the bathroom. After a while, she came back to taste it. "The amount is still quite sufficient. My chin is full."

It hurts. Has Annie ever treated you like this?"

"She is different from you!" Sheffield glanced at Edith Rockefeller's exaggerated lines and said with a glance, "Your question is so strange. I always feel that it is weird for a woman to talk about another woman at this time.

of."

At the headquarters of the DuPont Consortium in Wilmington, Delaware, Pierre Dupont has just returned to the company. The resolution of the state assembly has given him some relief. Now that he thinks about it, there is still room for redemption. After all, he has been deeply involved in the field of gunpowder for many years.

, now that the Republican Party is in power again, the family still has many political connections, but it was just a trick taken by the opponent.

Everyone knows that the first generation leader of the DuPont family was actually a diplomat. It was only because of the unstable political situation in France that he came to the United States. The first thing he did to gain a foothold in the United States was to help the federal government and acquire French Louisiana. Yes.

It is said that except for the Adams family, which produced father and son presidents, the DuPont family knows better than anyone else how to use the power of politics to develop.

Members of the Dupont family have always dealt with various politicians, and they still have their own confidence in their personal connections. As long as they wait a year and a half, the situation in the Philippines becomes stable and the military generals have less say, this can be resolved.

The pressure brought on by the opponent after losing this round is just a short period of hardship.

"Pierre, there is a customer waiting in your office!" As soon as he entered the DuPont headquarters, a beautiful female employee stopped Pierre Dupont and pointed in the direction of his office.

"Thank you, my little sweetheart!" Pierre Dupont joked, walked directly into his office, and saw a man of a similar age to himself, dressed meticulously. There was shrewdness in this man's eyes, and he was definitely a

The difficult character was sitting on his chair at this moment, looking at him with a smile.

"Excuse me, who is sir?" Pierredu confirmed that he had never seen this person before, but the temperament revealed by the other person prevented him from saying anything harsh to him because of his bad temper.

"Although I'm embarrassed, I've gotten used to it for a long time. My father's name is JP Morgan, and I'm little Morgan!" Little Morgan sighed heavily, opened his hands and said helplessly, "Actually, I am

I don’t want to introduce myself like this, but my father’s name is indeed more famous.”

Morgan? This name shocked Pierre DuPont. Although the DuPont family was also developing as many industries as possible, like the company's opponents, it had no foundation in the banking industry.

But even so, if Pierre Dupont has never heard of Morgan's name, it would be funny to mention it. He is also the king of the banking industry. After calming down, Pierre Dupont asked, "What if Morgan is planning to negotiate business with the company?"

, should be looking for Eugene, not sitting here."

"Mr. Eugene Dupont is not my peer after all! It will be more smooth if I talk to Mr. Pierre. Of course, if it starts well, I will definitely talk to Mr. Eugene." Little Morgan smiled indifferently and said seemingly unintentionally.

, "I heard that Delaware has made a decision to encourage the development of large enterprises. I am happy for the Du Pont family. The Du Pont family is from French aristocrats, by the way, just like the female aristocrats who follow the heirs of the Sheffield family.

, has its own tradition and pride. I just don’t know how long it can last.”

"Mr. Morgan seems to have something in his words. You must know that we rejected the Rockefeller family back then, so we must be proud of it!" Pierre Dupont fired back in a subtle way.
