The biggest enemy of capitalists is not others, but their own greed. On the basis of already making a lot of money, they always want to make more. A hundred years later, the United States will be too greedy and create a situation for itself in which it cannot give up anything. But the United States

The financial industry is more greedy than large companies in other industries.

If Wall Street is not too greedy, based on the foundation after World War II and even the Cold War, as long as the United States does not make mistakes, it will be difficult for other countries to pose a threat. After all, the Five Eyes Alliance is in hand, and NATO is in hand. Proper sharing of interests can suppress certain countries.

As a challenger from a single country, the difficulty is actually not that high.

But the people in charge of the United States are too greedy, and the difficulty has gone from not very high to very high. If you don’t even get a dollar, how can others work for you? Sheffield is now curbing its greed when it comes to the film industry. It can’t be like

Edison, with Morgan's support, drained the nascent film industry dry.

With the first completely dominant industry, Sheffield has enough patience to wait for the film industry to bring him rewards. This reward does not have to be money, it can also be something else. He actually really wants to try,

The treatment of Korean colleagues in later generations was such that they made movies to criticize capitalists and had to earn box office for the capitalists. They were struggling and powerless.

However, considering that the United States is such a big country, it is unlikely that the top ten financial groups will monopolize the country, and there is always room for the people to jump around. This very tempting idea should be shelved for the time being.

"Sure enough, even with such a large inheritance, I still can't restrain my greed. I always want to dream of becoming a finalist." Sheffield regretted his greed, but he couldn't squeeze out crocodile tears.

In the end, Sheffield figured out that neither the United States nor the capitalists would control their greed. Once they lose their greed in a comfortable state, they will become the Vanderbilt family that does not advance or retreat. He does not believe in future generations.

The Vanderbilt family will be indifferent when they see the history of their family's decline. In order to prevent their descendants from scolding themselves, although the dream of being a finalist is unrealistic, it is still a dream worth striving for.

Many people had a generous income when they were young, but had to face layoffs as they grew older, and finally found a job with a much lower income. Many people will have a psychological gap when they think of their previous treatment.

The same goes for Sheffield. When the Vanderbilt family really falls out of the upper class, this shocking gap will only make people miserable, so he must maintain his greedy nature now.

"John, do your Standard Oil products also adjust their production processes according to different climates?" Sheffield asked his partner, who is also his uncle Rockefeller Jr.

"Of course. You also know that the length of the cold wave in the north varies every year, and the climate is different from that of the southern states? Why? I want to ask another question about which side is colder?" Rockefeller Jr. asked after answering his own question.

"That's not true. Edith knows me better at this point. She knows that I am two people when I brag and when I do things. Dry, cold, wet and cold are just a matter of Dixie people's dignity. Thermometers don't lie."

Sheffield looked serious and did not feel embarrassed at all for bragging. After all, he had full experience with the regular problems in the Republic every winter. "What I mean is that Standard Oil's products in winter should consider cold protection. If my home is not in A

Linton, I will directly organize a research team to conduct experiments."

"What's wrong?" Little Rockefeller didn't know why. In his opinion, this was not an urgent problem. The most important part of Standard Oil was oil lamps. Although the use of tractors was also increasing, it seemed that there was no need to consider it.

Problems with anti-cold oil quality in winter.

Sheffield nodded and implemented his own large-scale agricultural plan. The amount of oil used by tractors did not need to be considered in winter. After all, not many people would drive tractors around in the winter, which was quite fuel-intensive.

"I personally suggest that you conduct similar research immediately. This is my personal reminder and preparation for cooperation between the two companies. The joint company is already preparing to focus on the automotive industry." Sheffield said truthfully, "This is a great pair.

It is a good thing for both of us. Once the internal combustion engine or even the newly emerged diesel engine enters large-scale application, the use of oil will be more extensive. If Standard Oil, the industry leader, is not prepared, it will also be detrimental to the hegemony of the oil empire.

"

If winter comes in the north, all the cars sold are lying around, and even starting is a problem, it will definitely affect the car sales of United Company, and most importantly, it will waste time and money. Everyone knows the current population distribution of the United States.

It is somewhat similar to China before the Song Dynasty, with more people in the north and fewer people in the south. This is one of the reasons why the Democratic Party has such a difficult time in every election.

If one does not put oneself in the shoes of the northern states and consider the climate of the northern states, the United Company's automobile revolution may be taught by nature. This disadvantage is completely avoidable and depends on the power of Standard Oil.

"John, think about it, once half of the citizens of the United States have cars, the importance of oil will be greatly increased, and the demand will be greatly increased. Both of our companies will benefit from this, and it can even become an important monetization industry." Sheffield

Although he said this, he actually knew that Standard Oil had many ways to realize its profits, and United Company was relatively weak in this aspect. Strictly speaking, he was asking Rockefeller Jr. to help him.

Young Rockefeller thought about this question seriously, and then quietly exposed the hypocritical mask that Sheffield had set up for himself, "You seem to have been debugging car production for a long time, and the gift you gave to the woman living in your house is a car.

What if half of the citizens of the United States have cars? How much benefit it will have for Standard Oil cannot be estimated now, but you must have made a lot of money. You have been planning this for a long time."

"Who made many industries dominated by industry giants, forcing me to start my own business and choose some extremely risky emerging industries to start with!" Sheffield looked at Little Rockefeller cautiously, the meaning is self-evident, you are one of them.

"Without Mrs. Anna's huge foundation, let me see if you start your own business." Little Rockefeller chuckled. Others said that so-called self-employment is possible. Sheffield said it was very shameless. With the strength of the United Company, it can be sustained.

Sheffield continues to enter new industries, and as long as one of them gets a foothold, it will skyrocket.

However, he still agreed to Sheffield's request. Individuals are individuals and cooperation is cooperation. Sheffield was able to remind him to be prepared in advance, which already showed respect for his partners.

In the capitalist world, the most obvious explanation is that the emergence of an emerging industry can make an existing industry grow, but it may also directly destroy the industry.

It seems that Sheffield is full of confidence in the development of the automobile industry. Considering that the other party entered the retail industry before, it directly used supermarket chains to wipe out ordinary grocery stores and redefined the retail market. In the process of this redefinition, naturally

It also brought an unprecedented impact. Many traditional shops were eliminated or hid in rural areas where large supermarket chains did not pay attention. Everyone saw the series of chaos it caused.

Little Rockefeller did not dare to neglect, and immediately started preparations after Sheffield and his sister left New York.

Cars have been around for fifteen years now. Carl Benz built the world's first gasoline-powered three-wheeled car and filed for a patent for the invention the following year. The engine makes a lot of noise when working, and the engine that transmits power

The quality of the chain was not up to standard and it often broke. Therefore, on the roads where cars passed by, people often saw people pushing carts instead of people riding in them. Therefore, even William II believed that this thing was a useless monster.

However, with the improvement of technology, these shortcomings have been gradually overcome. Nowadays, cars manufactured by individuals have appeared one after another, including Ford, the future American car king. In order not to let historical figures survive, Sheffield once specialized in

I searched for Ford.

But the person was found. The other person was obviously more interested in starting his own business than becoming a working family, and he had already built his first car three years ago. This made Sheffield awe-inspiring. The historical figure really did belong to him.

His own characteristics exist, so the question is, he has now also developed a strong interest in starting his own business. What should he do? Will Ford feel that he is bullying him?

As soon as he returned to Arlington, Sheffield summoned the managers of Sheffield United Machinery Company and stated that the time to officially intervene in the automobile field could not wait for a moment. The earliest American automobile brand in history was not Ford, but Cadillac.

It's expected to be released in three years, and Sheffield has plenty of time.

"Register an automobile company immediately, and the automobile department of United Machinery Company will be officially independent from now on." Sheffield separated the automobile department from United Machinery Company.

"Boss, is it called Sheffield Motor Company?" the manager of United Machinery Company asked blankly.

"Building a car with my last name? Let everyone sit in it? You can imagine it! You can do this with the company name, but you can never use my last name to name the car. Initially, there are two names, one is called Cadillac and the other is Ford.

Match high and low and bring it to market!" Sheffield waved his hand and quickly asked the state to approve the matter.
