Chapter 279
The prisoners brought in on this day were like a fleeting sight of flowers. The biggest effect of these unfamiliar faces appearing in the court was to make all participants, including Sheffield, experience the vanity of a winner.
Sheffield had to admit that although he had lost a day, he felt that his life was very fulfilling and he did not feel tired at all, giving him a sense of accomplishment.
More than a hundred years later, South Korea's chaebols are arrogant and domineering in court, but they are smiling while watching the performances of relevant people in prison. This mentality should be similar.
The weak people's fierce rebuttal, and the lawyer team's easy resolution, finally forced these weak people into a situation where they were at the mercy of others.
Coupled with the fact that representatives from major companies in the auditorium were enjoying the show, the so-called fair law is a joke.
"What kind of joke is this? This is the American century that citizens have been talking about. Such a ridiculous fact has happened. God will punish you evildoers!"
Listening to the victim's bloody and tearful accusations, Sheffield saw the weak voice looking towards the auditorium where he was, as if he wanted to memorize the faces of these demons, and then retorted with a sassy smile, "How can this gentleman prove this trial?"
Is it unfair? Don’t say that I am a law-abiding businessman and should not be criticized. Even if I am not, what can you do to me? If you and every criminal on trial think so, you can’t raise legal fees.
Continue to litigate, but before that, each of you should first compensate citizens for their potential losses."
"That's right, we can accompany you to fight this lawsuit forever. As long as you can afford the legal fees, we have nothing to lose!" Gale shouted, with an attitude that if you have money, you can do whatever you want, causing
A burst of cheers.
"Yes, pay for the lawsuit, as long as you can afford it!" Waves of echoes came and went, turning the quiet courtroom into a vegetable market, making the judge at the trial frown slightly.
In a country governed by the rule of law, all people are equal, but rich people are more equal. The litigation process is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly, and civilians basically do not have the courage to go to court. The rule of law is the rule of law for the rich. Simpson shocked the world
The judgment of the case is the most typical example. Most of the time, there is no benefit for civilians to sue civilians, because even if they win the lawsuit, they will not be able to pay much money, and they may not even be able to recover the litigation costs. Suing rich people and big companies? Their lawyer team
It is simply not something that the common people have the ability to fight against. So if the common people suffer, then let them suffer. Society is inherently unfair.
The face of contemporary slave owners was exposed. This arrogant scene shocked the weak people who were being tried. Some people shouted, "We will make your ugly face public."
"Who would believe the words of a criminal? You should first settle the claims of more than 3,000 citizens, and then talk about exposing the shady story, otherwise things will be difficult to handle!" Sheffield laughed, stretched and said,
"I really wasted a lot of time today. When will the verdict be announced?"
"When will the verdict be announced?" The major shareholders in the auditorium raised their voices in unison, putting pressure on the judge in the trial bench.
In the New Orleans court, as the justice slowly read out the results of the trial, the arrested criminals were sentenced on charges of inciting riots. As the results of the long trial were read out, the auditorium erupted compared to the stunned criminals.
Come out = warm cheers, this is an out-and-out victory.
"For personal consideration, I sympathize with any criminal behavior, but the judge's trial results show that legal fairness is guaranteed!" The lawyer from the plaintiff's joint company stood up and expressed his calm tone about the trial results.
Expressing respect, "Fairness and justice cannot be based on who is poor or rich. The poor certainly deserve mercy, but they cannot blackmail the rich just because they insist on being poor, not to mention that it is not just the bosses in front of them who are affected.
.”
The corners of Sheffield's mouth turned up in a beautiful curve. This may be the most charming smile in his life. Shi Shiran stood up and walked towards the court door. What happened next was no longer worth caring about. Today is called Court Day.
The entertainment options on the tour are quite good.
At the gate of the New Orleans courthouse, McHale showed mercy to the reporters surrounding him. "This is a fair and equitable verdict. Building barricades has delayed tens of thousands of citizens' time and money. This loss is simply incalculable. Out of respect for these criminals,
Shock is natural, but considering the survival conditions of these families, United Company is willing to withdraw the company's claim. This is a personal decision, and if we fully respect the outcome of the trial, we would not have to do so."
"If Carnegie had been as smart as you William a few years ago, how could he have been scolded by the whole country!" Gale squeezed into the car with a look of admiration and sighed, "We are waiting for McHale."
"No, drive!" Sheffield told the driver calmly, "This time I am using the conflict between blacks and whites to tide over the difficulties. Sometimes it is good to think about xenophobia. When encountering this kind of thing, I would rather explode racial conflicts than
We cannot turn him into a contradiction between rich and poor."
For Sheffield, racial conflicts may cost him money, but class conflicts are definitely a fatal thing. The former can be discussed, but the latter will paralyze you. Racial conflicts in the United States are completely controllable, after all, white people have an absolute advantage.
, if it were an absolute minority like South Africa, then the consequences of these two contradictions would be almost the same.
With this time, Sheffield might as well observe the progress of the project. Just after throwing the criminal who rose up against the United Company into prison, he immediately transformed into a boss who cares about the workers' lives, taking Natalya to care about everything.
Let’s look at the life of an outstanding worker.
"You have trampled on all justice and justice in the world!" Natalia hugged Sheffield's arm and put her head on her shoulders. "Now you have transformed into the least racist person. Through Chinese workers, you have shown that you are not
Discriminate against any ethnic group."
"What can be used and not used?" Sheffield said nonchalantly. "The Yellow Peril theory seems to be spreading recently. Don't delay the progress of my project. Otherwise, don't blame me for not knowing any citizens of the United States. If you don't make money for me, just a little bit.
They have no value at all. If white workers can keep their wages the same as Chinese workers, I can treat them the same way."
What Sheffield tells is naturally derived from the spiritual motherland of the vast majority of Germans. The current Emperor of the German Empire, Wilhelm II, reminds all countries to face up to the threat from the East.
In fact, this trend is not big now. It will not spread to other countries until after the Russo-Japanese War. Moreover, the main target of wariness is Japan, not China.
"So you think Eastern countries are a threat?" Natalia rolled her eyes and asked, "But you didn't criticize this kind of statement, why!"
"The threat is not so urgent, it's not that there is no threat!" Sheffield rolled his eyes and corrected, "Anyway, Japan does not have the ability to confront the United States. It would be a good thing if it refuses to accept and takes the initiative to go to war."
Sheffield felt that in the war to defeat Japan, not to mention that the United States paid no price at all, even if the price was increased tenfold, it would be very worthwhile. Having such an opportunity to control a country with a population of 100 million. Those soldiers at Pearl Harbor are considered
A worthy death.
Who told him, a slave owner, to love history in his previous life? Judging from the results of World War II, the United States of America made a lot of money. It didn't die as many people as in the civil war, but it became the world's hegemon. What a bargain.
While the New Orleans incident was still being discussed in some newspapers, Sheffield had once again pushed forward the reconstruction work.
"You must pay attention to the safety of these Chinese workers. When working for us, they must not be harmed by some violent organizations. Conley will pay attention to this!" Sheffield put his hands in his pockets, looked at the Chinese workers wearing straw hats, and asked
He said, "There's no timeout, right?"
"Boss, you can rest assured that we have caught up with the progress of the project!" Charles nodded, "I was surprised by the resilience and will of the Chinese workers."
"It's just a national characteristic, it's not surprising!" Sheffield didn't brag directly. The citizens of the United States in this era were not lazy, and they were also known for their hard work. The black slaves in the major plantations at that time were not lazy either. Under the guidance of slave owners,
Even if you are pushed hard, you will not be too lazy to do it.
The reason for using Chinese workers is simply for cost considerations. After all, they can pay less. This alone has allowed Sheffield to force the Chinese Exclusion Act. "In fact, the Chinese workers in the early years were synonymous with hard work and law-abiding. The president at the time also said that the Chinese were
A model for immigrants, but there are a few things that cannot be overcome. The ratio of Chinese men to women is too terrible. There are also the great western states, the United States has a small population, and the influx of Chinese has changed the local population ratio. The rest is the attack of other immigrants.
Everything from Ireland to Italy to Spain."
There is no way around this. Even the Chinese themselves are right to believe that those who are not our race must have different hearts. It is even less possible for Sheffield to go against the public opinion of the people of the United States for this group.
"By the way, build the sales building for me first!" Sheffield slapped his forehead and said, "Find someone to draw a concept map and post it at the sales location. Sales can start now."
"But we have nothing now!" Charles was shocked. Now there is nothing but a pile of bricks and rubble. What can we sell?
"If I say you can sell it, you can sell it. This is an emerging sales model!" Sheffield raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why can't it be sold? How can a company as big as mine still donate money and run away? That's it.
, pay first and then inspect the house.”
