Chapter 261 Morgan's Guest
"Isn't this normal in the world? It's not a big deal, but our Federal Navy is still very efficient!" Sheffield put down the telegram and also knew that an armored ship of the Federal Navy was rushing to the sea area where the accident occurred. He appreciated this very much.
He praised, saying that when dealing with weaklings, you have to hit hard, and you don’t even know how to bully people. Do the national armed forces have the nerve to spend citizens’ tax money?
Sheffield also knew that Washington was mediating with Bogota. In fact, Panama's independence had become a foregone conclusion. The so-called mediation was just to get Colombia to accept the facts.
"Now we can consider how much profit we can extract from this canal. I believe the matter is over!" McHale sighed. The long-term hard work has paid off, and he has ample reasons to be happy about it.
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe when will the federal government compensate Colombia? Who can say for sure!" Sheffield raised his eyebrows. The United States of America is a country that pays great attention to food and appearance, and often in things.
After it has become a foregone conclusion, he will express his apology.
He said that all the mistakes in the past were caused by a small group of bastards, but the matter has become a foregone conclusion and no one can change it. However, the bilateral relations have to look forward, and then they have to spend three melons and two dates to compensate. Considering this
A common problem among European powers in the 1970s and 1970s, the United States is still very confusing in this era.
Due to the despicable way of acquiring the Panama Canal, the United States was morally humiliated. After Roosevelt's death, then-U.S. President Woodrow Wilson apologized to Colombia and expressed his willingness to pay a total compensation of 25 million U.S. dollars, with a down payment of 500 U.S. dollars.
Ten thousand US dollars, and then four million US dollars per year; but the Colombian government said that they lost not only the Panama Canal, but also more than 70,000 square kilometers of Panama. The Wilson government said that Colombian ships can pass through the canal permanently free of charge.
President Wilson used this kind of compensation to settle the lawsuit between the United States of America and Colombia, officially confirming the rights and interests of the Panama Canal. After everything was done, the federal government could always provide sweet dates in a timely manner. With Europe
In contrast to the eating habits of powerful countries, within a few decades, Sheffield believed that the image of the United States in the world was still very glamorous.
Opening the newspaper, Sheffield could see that the newspaper expressed heartfelt praise for the courage and determination shown by Panama's independence. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. The report of seeing others in chaos and gloating about his own misfortune looked really pleasing to the eye.
"Let's put other things aside for now. There is one thing we can do now." Sheffield looked at Gale and McHale, "Is it time to officially recruit employees? Adults between the ages of fifteen and forty-five are required.
Men, who are the backbone of the breeding population, at least get rid of them, the population structure of the black population in New Orleans and even Louisiana will collapse, and the remaining group of old, weak, sick and disabled will not be a headache.
.”
Sheffield has seen many countries with population collapse in later generations, and he also has his own views on what age population is the most valuable. After selecting black men from New Orleans, he then transformed the women. After separating the men and women, this
It actually works.
He can even make an exception and specifically build factories that require a large labor force to provide job opportunities for black women. But this is definitely not out of good intentions. In fact, when it comes to birth control, capitalist society has its own methods. First, it must ensure its own workers.
I never think about having children at all.
"I wish all black people would go to New York! Anyway, the Yankees like them, but they can't give up their wives for black people to enjoy. This is their freedom. Isn't this their purpose?"
Sheffield put his hands in his pockets, thought for a moment and then said, "The management of the canal, we actually summoned some Yankees to manage it to show our goodwill towards the Yankees. They like black people. Let them have more contact with black people. We
Just call in the private armed forces to ensure that nothing serious happens during the construction process."
Just three days after Panama declared independence and U.S. diplomats were still arguing about Colombia, the U.S. Canal Management Company officially announced that it would begin formal preparations to dig the canal.
Only now did Sheffield breathe a sigh of relief. Now it was time for Gale, McHale, and the participating Southern Company to perform. At least they should not have to trouble themselves in the past few years.
However, before that, he signed a contract for the use of construction machinery with Sheffield United Machinery Company in the name of the American Canal Management Company. During the construction period, all construction machinery will be provided by Sheffield United Machinery Company.
The steel was supplied by Sheffield Steel, and the cement required...
After these are determined, the remaining matters belong to Gale and McHale, and maybe the interests of the federal government.
"My dear partners, the rest is up to you! What United Company needs now is not to expand, but to evaluate the current industrial development. To put it simply, it is to seek stability. I don't want to be troublesome anymore!" Sheffield
Absolutely living up to the expectations of his two partners, he personally seized the right to dig the Panama Canal. For this purpose, he even asked the old man who had lost contact with him in Paris to keep it.
In any sense, he is worthy of his allies, and God is no more than that! Although the big head is still taken by his own departments, it is all as it should be.
But that's where it ends. Although supermarket chains and petroleum are creating profits every day, getting involved in so many things at once will inevitably lead to some indigestion. He doesn't want to hear any entrepreneurs say in front of him now, "
Boss, I have a great idea now!"
The best idea is to let him quietly put the current industry he is involved in on the right track, and at the same time find more allies in derivative industries to enrich his own strength.
"Your man's appearance is really eye-opening!" Young Rockefeller in Chicago heard the process of signing the contract and sneered at his sister Edith Rockefeller, "I use my own company for machinery and my own company for steel.
Yes, we use our own company’s cement, our own company’s explosives, and our own company’s oil!”
"Isn't half of the oil still yours?" Edith Rockefeller made a face at her son in her arms, tilted her head and corrected her calmly, "Why are you telling me this? You can't do it just because you're talking to him.
If you have a child, do you think I have a say in the affairs of United Company? I am still your sister, do I have any say in matters concerning Standard Oil? Moreover, he grabbed the opportunity that no one else noticed and got the biggest share.
Isn’t it normal for cakes? When the risks were huge, major companies turned a blind eye, and now they are being criticized for making gains?"
"Yeah, it's a coincidence. The eyes of the whole world, even Wall Street, are on the Boer War, and this year happens to be an election year. William's timing is really accurate. I found that he especially likes to do it when the election year is approaching.
It's time to make some movement." Young Rockefeller sighed, and had to express his admiration for Sheffield's ability to seize opportunities.
When an election year comes, many people's attention will be diverted, not to mention that the Boer War is raging, and there are major events at home and abroad that attract everyone's attention. As a result, Sheffield took the United Company to Panama.
"Speaking of this issue, Governor Roosevelt of New York State actually became William's support. Did William write a bad check again and promised something to the Republicans?" Rockefeller Jr. recalled what happened during this period and discovered something unusual.
.
"Even if it's true, he won't admit it. Don't you know what the relationship between his company and the Democratic Party is?" Edith Rockefeller rolled her eyes at her brother, "We are not parties to this kind of thing, and there is no use in guessing.
.After saying that it’s just the beginning of the year, it’s still a little early to talk about the general election.”
At least for now, there are three parties that can see the benefits coming: the Southern companies under the wings of the United Corporation, the First Bank of Boston family, and Standard Oil. However, among these three parties, Rockefeller Jr. believes that his benefits are not
If you are big, you can still work hard.
Edith Rockefeller disagreed with this point and said, "Every car that leaves the factory is a machine that consumes oil. Because of the rapid expansion of the automobile industry, Standard Oil has also benefited. Don't you think you are too greedy?"
Is it done?”
Little Rockefeller looked straight at his sister and wanted to ask, do you still know your last name?
"Thank you to the British government for trusting me. I have many friends in London, and they have also given me a lot of help during the long business operation. Today, I am very surprised that Mr. Sir can come to New York on behalf of the British government.
, and this is also a responsibility!" Morgan stood by the window of the **** headquarters, trying his best to suppress the joy in his heart.
From the first stage when the British became disgraced, he knew that his opportunity had come. However, although he made this correct judgment, until something good was about to happen, all this was still speculation. And today, the dream
come true.
"Mr. Morgan's reputation in the financial industry is admired even by his colleagues in London. Even the colonial secretary Chamberlain and the prime minister the Marquess of Salisbury have heard of your name. A small failure in southern Africa will not damage the empire.
However, the Prime Minister's consideration is not to increase the burden of the war, so he ordered me to come over and ask Mr. Morgan for his views on the war." The visitor wiped the beard from the corner of his mouth, maintaining the old-fashioned and arrogance of the British.
, try to downplay the war as much as possible.
