"I didn't do anything that offended people!" Sheffield didn't care how the proposal was passed, as long as it passed, and he didn't think he was going too far, because the New Orleans reconstruction plan can be called a conscience

project.

What sense of superiority do the Dixie people have? The overall economy of the North is obviously far greater than that of the South. What sense of superiority do they have under this situation? This is nothing more than a vast land and sparse population, coupled with excellent agricultural and animal husbandry conditions, they do not have to bear the hardships of the industrial areas of the Northeastern states.

It's just a difficult working environment.

So maybe the Dixie people are not that rich, but their life is definitely not bad, and they can get rich through hard work. As for the densely populated industrial areas in the northeastern states, it depends on the ratio of factory owners and workers.

Sheffield has a problem that he likes to look at places where others are inferior to him, so he once took Anne to visit the brothels in Paris. When he was free in New York, he took Natalia to the slums and took a look.

The beacon of capitalism is in dire straits, but unfortunately we came at the wrong time and didn't find any homeless people.

The reason is also very simple. In a place with four distinct seasons, even if you are a beggar, you have to distinguish between the off-season and the peak season. It is still the beginning of the year, and the living environment for homeless people is not very good. If the climate changes one day, it will happen overnight.

Stand upright.

Sheffield must also admit that the north has its advantages. For example, hitting porcelain is a very risky thing in winter. On icy roads in winter, he has never seen many people who dare to fall in front of a car.

Yes, the icy road offsets the effect of the brakes. I just want money, not my own life.

"I heard from my father that our family's original hometown was very cold in winter!" Natalia curled up her little hands, still quite satisfied with Sheffield's company, and even overcame the unfriendly temperature.

"You said that, I really can't refute it!" Sheffield smiled helplessly. When Natalia heard her name, she was of Russian descent. As long as this world is a place where people can live, no one dares to compare with Russia in terms of coldness, including him.

.

I just don’t know how the local homeless people survive the winter in Russia. Do they rely on vodka?

"Actually, our country is so big, people from these northeastern states can definitely immigrate to the west!" Natalia said a little pitifully, "They are all crowded into several states near New York. How difficult is it to live?"

"A large population has its advantages. First of all, a large population means greater opportunities, so many people are willing to flock to big cities. After all, in people's subconscious, they all feel that they are the chosen ones. People who believe that their own efforts will change their destiny.

There are quite a few, and various newspapers are also exaggerating the superiority of the United States over European aristocratic countries, creating such an illusion for the citizen class." Sheffield shrugged, "There is no way to do this, all countries will do this, who can let

Everyone is greedy."

"Then the population of New Orleans is insufficient, is it delaying your plan?" Natalia said with some worry, "Even if you join forces with other friends to seal off the land near New Orleans, there won't be much pressure on the local area.

Bar?"

"Who told you? There is no more land for us in the urban area?" Sheffield asked with a smile. "At that time, New Orleans was the largest city in the South and the center of human trade. It can be said that all the large estate owners in the South were here.

There is real estate in New Orleans. You actually don’t know the landowners there. Considering the relationship between supply and demand, even if there are only a few hundred thousand people in New Orleans, it will be enough. Besides, there will be reconstruction plans based on the population.

The land would rather be used as a park than put on the market to disrupt housing prices."

Are you saying that the insufficient population will not attract other people to come here? At least compared to places like New York, Chicago, and Detroit, housing prices in New Orleans are not expensive. Although most of the land outside the city is in the hands of the United Company and its allies, it is not for sale.

Can't I rent it out when I go out?

The environment itself is similar to that of a British colony. Sheffield has reason to believe that he can turn New Orleans into the Pearl of the South. Soon Sheffield led the little fur girl to end this journey of capitalist sin. Just when he wanted to propose, he wanted to

We didn't want to take a look at the prostitution industry in New York, but the little girl said she was tired and wanted to change her appetite and experience the indulgence of capitalism.

Okay! Sheffield didn't see any homeless people, and he regretted not doing one good deed a day today. But Natalia spoke up, and he could only end today's trip with regret.

"Why does Sheffield even win over people like Vanderbilt II?" Little Morgan asked with confusion on his face, "Does Vanderbilt II have any industry? It seems that there is not, except for the railway left by his grandfather.

, the intervention in supermarket chains also failed, is it because of the real estate activities? "

"This is also possible!" Morgan was like a wild cat when he was silent. He was also thinking about why this southern slave owner came to New York? But to win over people like Vanderbilt II, this operation is

He couldn't figure out for a while whether there was anything valuable about the descendants of the railroad king. "Could it be that they are here for the Vanderbilt family's railroad?"

It seems that now in the hands of the Vanderbilt family, only New York's railroad system has value. It is the railroad system that supports the luxurious life of the Vanderbilt family members.

"That's really not good news, father!" Little Morgan said with some concern upon hearing this. The Morgan family's infiltration of the railway system is no longer a matter of a year or two. The infiltration can be said to be very successful. The only drawback is that

Vanderbilt's Railroad Network and Rockefeller Railroad Network.

However, Standard Oil had already begun to develop the oil pipeline system. In the battle with Scott that year, it used oil pipelines to defeat Scott, who controlled the railways, and brought a disastrous end to Carnegie's mentor.

The Morgans and his son thought about the grudge between Rockefeller and Carnegie at the same time, but they did not expect that the grudge had been resolved.

The Harlem Railway, the Hudson Railway, the New York Central Railway, the Michigan Central Railway, the Lakeside Railway, the Canadian Southern Railway, and the New York-centered railway network are the foundation for supporting the Vanderbilt family.

Many of the above-mentioned railways have been controlled by Morgan through means. However, the descendants of the railway king still control several key railway lines. If Sheffield comes to collude with the railway king to challenge him, this will really be a trouble.

matter.

It is also the Vanderbilt family, which is too far away from the story of entrepreneurship. Every time it is in the news, it is reported how luxurious it is. Even Morgan cannot imagine, what value does the Vanderbilt family have?

A very smart mind likes to complicate simple things. After his son reminded him, Morgan became a little suspicious.

At this time, Sheffield had already left New York with a guarantee of 20 million US dollars from Vanderbilt II. Unknown to him, he had made the Morgans suspicious for several days, and they were prepared to face the challenge of the railway system as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"John doesn't even know I'm in Chicago!" Sheffield's tone was full of annoyance that he didn't want to work hard. He was waiting for the richest woman in Chicago to give him a hand. He looked like a failed man who had to bow his head under the pressure of a difficult life.

"If you didn't bring that girl here, maybe you could really confuse me!" Edith Rockefeller curled her lips and said, "You and your old man are not that far apart. Could it be that you are coming here to have a fight in my villa?"

Right two?"

"If you don't object, it's not impossible!" Sheffield rolled his eyes and seemed to have made up the picture in his mind, and the expression on his face gradually became abnormal.

"What a beautiful idea you have!" Edith Rockefeller said with full aura, "What do you think? Do you really want me to sleep with you and another woman?"

"What a joke, Edith!" Sheffield touched Edith Rockefeller's hand and sighed, "This is the hand of the first richest woman and richest woman. It's so smooth to the touch. I wonder which man got the advantage?"

Sheffield knew that when he came to Chicago, he had to bear a heavy burden and move forward. He said that he really needed Edith Rockefeller to help him. If he could get help from Little Rockefeller's sister, his success rate in cashing out the Carnegie Steel Company would be very high.

From 60% to 90%.

Edith Rockefeller wiped the sweat from her joy and asked with a half-smile, "John asked you to jointly take over the shares of Carnegie Steel Company. You have no money, so you want to borrow some from me? Am I listening?"

Wrong, you haven’t forgotten that my surname is Rockefeller. How can I use the money my father gave me to start a business partnership with our family? Can we still do this business?”

Edith Rockefeller still underestimated Sheffield's face, and the latter nodded directly, saying that her guess was absolutely correct, and that was what she thought, and she was thinking about Edith Rockefeller's assets of 30 million US dollars.

"You are such a bully. You eat and sleep for nothing, and you want me to pay to help you develop your career?" Edith Rockefeller said in disbelief, "That's all I can do to raise a little man!"

Sheffield nonchalantly pointed his finger at his nose, and said leisurely, "Am I too old? Now your little man, let's be honest, I don't have enough cash, and I need your help. Can you give it?"

Give it? If you don’t give it to me, I won’t have any prestige in front of your Standard Oil, and John probably won’t even look up to me.”

"I'll give it to you!" Edith Rockefeller was silent for a long time, gritting her silver teeth and said, "But you have to use your shares as collateral. Don't look at me like that. I'm also thinking about my son and leaving him a guarantee. I can start from

When a woman has gained so much, you have reached a certain level."
