But after Morgan thought about it, it wasn't worth paying too much attention to. The Panama Canal took a long time, and no one knew the final result. It was just the beginning. How things develop next remains to be seen.

The most important thing at hand is the Boer War. According to Morgan's estimate, even if there is still 10 million pounds of military expenditure allocated by the British government, there should be very little left. Just these few defeats have caused considerable losses.

, the British are likely to issue public bonds in order to continue supporting the war.

Soon young Morgan came in and described the situation in London. This was similar to what Morgan had imagined. After successive defeats, British people's support for the Boer War became clearer and they supported the British government's tough attitude towards the Boers.

.But war requires money, which is a very practical problem.

"If we wait a little longer, the British will definitely issue public bonds. The pressure on the British civil society to bear all the public debts is too great. Other countries want the British to die quickly. I believe that the British will definitely take the initiative to contact us."

Morgan said with strong confidence in front of his son, "Now, except for our United States, which adopted neutrality in the Boer War, other countries are opposing the British, leaving the British with not many choices. Keep

Be patient, my son."

"Father, it seems that the United Company has swallowed up the right to dig the Panama Canal." Young Morgan mentioned this matter and said slowly, "This is also a big deal, especially for the government and the military.

The Panama Canal has a strong appeal. Such a large project will bring huge benefits."

"The benefits of what we are planning now are also huge." Morgan said insincerely, comforting his son. As for whether he was telling the truth, of course not. Seeing other people making money, Morgan felt his heart bleed. For him to go out and pick things up like this

For people who have lost their things even if they don’t have them, there is nothing more heartbreaking than a huge financing that has nothing to do with them.

Moreover, once the construction of the Panama Canal starts, it will definitely get the support of the federal government. This is a project funded by the country. Being able to make money from the country is the best for a businessman. Now this opportunity belongs to someone else, Morgan

You also need to adjust your mood.

Although taking the Canal from beginning to end has nothing to do with him, in Morgan's eyes, this matter is related to him, and he already thinks so.

It's not easy to be a patriotic capitalist in a country of despicable and shameless people, surrounded by enemies and all with their own agendas. Sheffield thinks that he is doing something different from those shameless bastards. Considering the huge risks, this time

He is equivalent to taking over for the country and helping the country accomplish what it wants to do. The most heroic person takes over for the country.

The new American Canal Management Company is soliciting bids from the entire United States to attract shareholders to start the construction of the canal. Priority is given to Dixie people's shares, but Sheffield knows that it is most likely not enough, and some other capital inflows will definitely be needed. After all, this is

For large projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars, United Corporation currently does not have the ability to go it alone. Even if it could, it should avoid going it alone and eat everything by itself. The day when antitrust laws will come is not far away.

Of course, this is Sheffield trying to comfort himself. In fact, he just doesn't have the ability to eat alone. If he had this ability, as long as someone was next to him to have fun with Gayle and McHale, there is a high probability that he would have done it himself.

"Actually, Rockefeller Jr. has money and can borrow some for financing." Anne also knew that her man was fighting an arduous battle against greed and was having a hard time sticking to the bottom line. She didn't want to see Sheffield in distress.

"No! His money is hot!" Sheffield vetoed without thinking. "If I opened my mouth because of financing issues, I believe that little Rockefeller would not stand idly by, but this is definitely not because our personal relationship has reached the level of sharing risks.

, he will definitely take the opportunity to modify the sharing period of the Texas oil fields, and I will not agree to it unless he adds other bargaining chips."

With the current output of the Texas oil fields, it has long been recognized as the number one in the United States. Although Rockefeller Jr. has never spoken, Sheffield can feel that the other party wants to re-finalize the contract.

The profit from a Panama Canal project is not enough to allow Sheffield to extend the contract period. Even if he sells crude oil at market prices, the long-term profit will be greater than that from a canal.

Sheffield would not do this kind of thing. If Standard Oil has any industry that can be used for exchange, the pharmaceutical industry can tempt Sheffield, but it is estimated that the Rockefeller family will not exchange.

In terms of money, isn't there the First Bank of Boston? Sheffield should also give some feedback to those families. As the original financing for Southern Electric, it was announced to the public as such. It cannot be said that it has insufficient liquidity and the risk of going it alone is too great.

, that’s why it’s cheaper for you, right?

A few days later, as December approached, Sheffield's Oak Manor welcomed the president of the San Francisco Chinese Association, Zhang Deqing. When he walked into the manor, Sheffield was carefully wiping a vase with a rag, which was said to be from the Qianlong period.

Product, once he saw this aesthetic, he believed that he was inseparable from each other.

"I don't know if the Spaniards lied to me. If you have time, can you find a few people to identify it? By the way, you are from Jiangxi, and Jingdezhen is a place in Jiangxi, right?" Sheffield wiped with his back to Zhang Deqing.

The vase shows that you need the other person’s help without being polite at all.

"The boss turns out to be interested in porcelain!" Zhang Deqing smiled gently. Just as he was about to show off his skills, he heard Sheffield say, "I don't like it. I like it because it's valuable. If it wasn't valuable, I wouldn't be able to do it."

They all take up space. However, some businessmen like this thing very much. They don’t have enough ink in their stomachs, so they like to use this kind of thing to show elegance. There are many such businessmen in the United States."

Sheffield showed with practical actions that this Chinese gentleman is overthinking. Everything has a price in his eyes. As for additional artistry, his eyes cannot distinguish ethereal things except gold.

Zhang Deqing's face turned red. He couldn't accept that his boss was too straightforward, so he said, "This is a vase from the Qianlong period. It..."

"The most important thing during the Qianlong period was that it killed the disobedient forces in Zhungeer and Tibetan areas and expanded the territory by millions, instead of leaving this kind of vase!" Sheffield interrupted the other party, curled his lips and said,

"Except for the land and population, which are true, everything else is false. And I admire this emperor very much and have no intention of ridiculing him."

This is a good TV series. If you don’t shoot something useful, you will just stare at the gossip news every day. You will only shoot Qianlong and take pictures of girls! Qianlong’s treatment is pretty good. When you shoot Tang Gaozong, you only shoot Wu Zetian. Destroy Goguryeo and

For such a big thing as the Turks, the presence of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty and that of Jiajing were almost the same in the photos.

But this was not something Sheffield cared about. He threw away the rag and motioned for Zhang Deqing to sit down, then explained his purpose, "The United Company wants to open a canal in Panama. The main company does not need you Chinese to do it. I have other arrangements. But some

The work of repairing the railways still requires manpower. You also know that in Panama, you Chinese workers will definitely have much more freedom in Panama than in California. At least you will not be ostracized. To be honest, Panamanians have no right to ostracize you."

"It is undeniable that I have lied to you, but judging from the results, most of the Chinese workers who went to the Philippines are now living and working in peace and contentment, supporting themselves, and have their own properties. Although they are small, Chinese people in the United States cannot purchase any properties." Xie

Field pondered and said, "In Panama, it is expected that the United Company will have a greater say, and the cooperation between you and me is that you do your job well, and I guarantee that you will not be disturbed."

The main project of digging the canal does not require Chinese people. Sheffield must first be settled before it can fight against the outside world. The black population in the south can be smaller, and the use of Chinese and black people at the same time can form a contrast. As for the urine of black people, there is no

Man knows better than he, the slave owner.

Using a large number of black people to dig canals, the black community will definitely arouse the resentment of the local people. Under this kind of resentment, the Chinese appear to be very exemplary and nothing can be compared.

Moreover, once the joint company and the federal government reach an agreement on the status of the canal zone, it will become a state within a state. The impression left by the Panamanian Chinese on Sheffield is that of the gambling god, "The President of Panama and I have some friendship!"

"

And now, the President of Panama must have some friendship with Sheffield!

This can be regarded as restoring history, and history defenders like Sheffield are very pleased. They are even more pleased when they think that the number of black people in New Orleans will decline.

As Christmas approaches, several heavyweights from First Bank of Boston came to New Orleans to communicate cordially with their major customers. Since the financing of Southern Electric, their lives have become much better. They can barely keep up with Morgan.

, before that, the taillights were almost invisible to Morgan.

Regarding the financing requirements that Sheffield hopes to help with, Lowell said that this is exactly what they want, even in the fields of automobiles and aircraft, as long as Sheffield asks, they can find a way.

"That's no need, that kind of emerging industry joint company can still handle it!" Sheffield politely declined the other party's kindness. Have these Boston families been suppressed by Morgan in recent years and become hallucinations?
