"Are you guarding my brother?" Edith Rockefeller heard the implication and asked with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"This is a capital flow of hundreds of millions. Who wouldn't be careful with such a huge wealth?" Sheffield said nonchalantly, "Because that's your brother, so I don't care? Your money is also in it."

"It makes sense!" Upon hearing this, Edith Rockefeller confirmed her position. With such a large amount of money involved, no one could believe it, including of course her younger brother Rockefeller Jr.

"Actually, I'm also worried about Morgan's attitude. If it's the first time he poached Tesla and established Southern Electric, he can also explain that it's normal competition. The issue of Mexican public debt can be said to be joint companies. He doesn't want Morgan to put his hands behind his back.

, this time taking over the Carnegie Steel Company is an obvious sniper attack. The third confrontation cannot be explained by coincidence. The two sides are basically enemies from now on, and the domestic economic map may change as a result.

Who will benefit from this change? I was a little nervous when it came to this!" Sheffield rubbed his face and suddenly looked up at Edith Rockefeller and said, "Do you believe me when I say I'm afraid?"

He is really afraid of a full-scale confrontation now. Although he has thought about this issue before, whether he has thought about it and whether to face it are two questions. He is really on the opposite side of the ground from the Morgans and his son.

A little trembling.

"What are you afraid of? Isn't there still Standard Oil?" Edith Rockefeller sat directly next to Sheffield. Her huge buttocks made the sofa bear pressure that it should not bear, and the surrounding areas collapsed deeply under the force.

Thumb thump... Even Sheffield could tell that he heard the spring inside and made an overwhelmed sound. He tilted his head and joked, "My dear, it's time to change a set of furniture. You should have a correct understanding of your body."

.”

"It doesn't matter, it's just the right size for you!" Edith Rockefeller raised her eyebrows and said with a pun, "You and I are complementary and can use our full strength when we work together. You should admit this in your heart."

Since he was complimenting himself, Sheffield accepted the order and was about to take action when he was stopped by Edith Rockefeller, "I have plenty of time in the evening, so don't rush for such a short while..."

"Oh, by the way, there is a project related to your fashion company." Sheffield thought of the project in Puerto Rico and described the ins and outs of the matter.

So far, the domestic atmosphere in the United States is still very conservative. Although it is not as extreme as in Confucian and Peace Religion countries, it has also led to the more trendy styles of clothing to be criticized. Edith Rockefeller must know this. She is now

He runs a fashion company.

"The things you think in your head are so dirty!" Edith Rockefeller pointed to the underwear she was wearing and changed the topic, "But to be honest, underwear actually sells very well. All men wear it.

Gentlemen, don’t they all like to do that when they get home? The fashion company’s profits are very good.”

Sheffield just smiled at the accusations directed at men's hypocrisy. They were right, that's how it is. The launch of bikini underwear has indeed seen a steady increase in sales despite many accusations. This is also true.

If Edith Rockefeller hadn't been backed by Standard Oil, fashion companies would have been slapped twenty times just for producing these unethical products.

But this is not impossible. The atmosphere in Latin America is not conservative. The style of the US military is the style of the Spaniards who migrated to Latin America. Another meaning of enthusiasm and openness is chaos in private life. Edith Rockefeller's fashion company can definitely borrow from France and the United States.

In the name of the car, he drove to Latin American countries.

"Will this cause a cost problem?" After understanding the idea of ​​having flowers blooming outside the walls of Sheffield, Edith Rockefeller became interested and asked if there would be any difficulties. After all, it was okay in the domestic market of the United States.

On the premise of supporting their own company, not everyone is greedy and takes risks to expand overseas.

Nowadays, most companies in the United States are like this, because they are struggling in the domestic market but are not interested in foreign countries. Isolationism has always had a strong public opinion foundation, and not many companies even take a look at Latin America.

"The textile industry is the basic industry of a country's industry. As long as there is a hint of industry in this country, it must have a textile industry!" Sheffield said that none of this is a problem. The textile industry can be said to be the basic industry with the least threshold.

.

The Industrial Revolution in Britain also started with the textile industry. Cheap and high-quality Asian textiles gradually replaced European products in the international market, which put forward requirements for a fundamental structural reorganization of textile production. It was necessary to replace manual operations with efficient mechanical production and improve

Yield reduces costs. Mechanized production of spinning and weaving has brought about fundamental changes in the structure of the textile industry.

In this way, the textile industry was no longer based on households and moved to a special field, where fast-flowing rivers could provide water power for machines. This period marked the end of household handicraft production and the beginning of the Industrial Revolution initiated in England.

In the eighteenth century, textile production was the most important industry in Britain. By the nineteenth century, the textile industry accounted for approximately five percent of total national income.

"So you mean to occupy foreign markets first, and then counterattack back home!" Edith Rockefeller asked, "Is this what you mean?"

"Including the Philippines, in fact, the Spanish and Portuguese colonies should have no problem accepting these underwear. Eastern countries and *** countries will have difficulty. It doesn't matter whether European countries accept it or not. You can't grab it. This problem is still the same

It’s an old question, first get the Monroe Doctrine done well, then wait until the scope of the Monroe Doctrine is occupied, and then consider world affairs. Just like the current transformation of our country." Sheffield explained the key points eloquently.

, and finally concluded, “Many principles of business and politics are the same.”

"It's a pity that you won't be president!" Edith Rockefeller praised from the bottom of her heart. "It's simply a loss for the country. Didn't the Democratic Party consider sending you to participate in the next general election?"

"There are too many bastards in the citizen class who hate the rich, and I can't do anything about it. But their worries are right. If I were president, I might really use politics to make the United Company better." Sheffield expressed his heart so honestly that he

If you really become the federal president, you will definitely do this.

Sheffield has been building a joint company industry around the four words "food, clothing, housing and transportation". However, the expansion of basic industries can easily become a target, so he plans to let Edith Rockefeller manage the first word of "food, clothing, housing and transportation".

Assistance is provided from one side. The latter three, the agriculture and animal husbandry derivative industries, real estate and automobile industries, are managed by the joint company themselves.

"I want to establish a clothing trust! Find time to go abroad for inspection." Edith Rockefeller was also full of enthusiasm at this time, feeling that she could also have a business empire and become another Rockefeller.

"Going abroad for inspection? I want to go with you. It's a bit dangerous abroad!" Upon hearing this, Sheffield quickly shook his head and said, "If you don't let me follow you, don't go."

Bah, bah, bah... Sheffield responded with a burst of red lips. Edith Rockefeller said with satisfaction, "I knew you loved me. You are much better than my ex-husband. You know how to give women a certain career. In turn,

I can help you more if I come here."

"Don't talk about the issue of ex-husband or not!" Hearing Edith Rockefeller mention her former husband, although she felt dirty in her heart, some parts of her body were still inevitably swelling. Why did Sheffield feel like Ximenqing?

feeling.

Young Rockefeller could have gone directly to Pittsburgh, but in the end he decided to go to Chicago and meet in Sheffield first. After all, both parties needed to have a rough assessment of this negotiation. First of all, this must be a record-breaking merger.

A merger that has never happened before in history.

"I have prepared to use Rockefeller's steel company as part of the merger and acquisition to become part of the new steel company. In this way, adding Carnegie Steel's share, it can approach 40%." Young Rockefeller said as he walked.

In fact, I also suggest you do this, what are you thinking?"

"Oh!" Sheffield came back from his thoughts and said with a wry smile, "If it succeeds, you and I will personally create a new richest man in the United States. I don't know whether I should feel happy or sad.

.”

Rockefeller has held the position of the richest man in the United States for many years. Now Sheffield wants to interview Rockefeller Jr. What exactly does the current head of Standard Oil think about the position of the richest man in the United States that is about to change hands?

"I don't have any ideas. Time is running out. As long as oil and steel are still there, they will continue to create profits!" Rockefeller said with a relaxed smile, "You actually raised enough funds. It's really amazing.

Surprised."

"It's not surprising that we owe a lot of debt. It still took a year to transfer funds from various departments of the United Company!" Sheffield rolled his eyes at the other party. He and Standard Oil had a big business.

A few days later, the two men had arrived in this steel city with a large delegation. At this time of the year, the persistent gray gas over Pittsburgh seemed to remind visitors that this city is in the United States of America.

's unique position.
