"Well, we are guests from Chicago. Jesra is taking our guests to take a rest. I have something to discuss with John." Just the half-sentence that little Rockefeller leaked was enough for Sheffield to judge the general outline of the matter.

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Fisher is obviously not suitable to stay here.

Fisher was also very sensible and followed Jezra out. Sheffield and Rockefeller were left in the room again. Sheffield walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, his face full of expressions. How could this be possible? In the end, he couldn't help but ask

He asked, "Are you offering a higher price than Little Morgan?"

"No, three hundred million U.S. dollars, retain 10% of Carnegie's shares. Isn't this the psychological price you and I discussed?" Rockefeller Jr. categorically objected, "My real psychological bottom line is three hundred and fifty million U.S. dollars. At high

I won’t follow. Morgan Jr. is offering $480 million to fully acquire Carnegie Steel.”

"Then how did you win?" Sheffield's face was filled with surprise. Could it be that Rockefeller Jr. was the chosen one, destined to achieve great things? No, Rockefeller Jr. was considered a very qualified heir in history, but he and

Compared with the old Rockefeller, he was not a genius. Even the five sons he gave birth to were more famous than him.

This made Sheffield confused. He didn't believe in the matter of being born a pie. There must be something unknown in it. If the person in front of him wasn't the boss of Standard Oil, he would have thought he was a liar.

But obviously, little Rockefeller didn't know how he won, and he couldn't explain why, which was very embarrassing.

The team led by Morgan Jr. did not even return to the hotel, but got on the train and left Pittsburgh. Obviously, the failure of this head-to-head confrontation made Morgan very disappointed and did not want to stay here for a moment.

Soon, major companies with their own channels knew the result of this confrontation. They sighed with regret and many people were gloating about the misfortune. Although they did not know what happened, there were already many people waiting and watching.

Then, in my mind, I imagined an earth-shattering confrontation, or a fierce exchange of words, which ultimately ended in a lose-lose situation.

Little did they know that the two competitors gathered in Pittsburgh were confused about the real facts and could not guess what Carnegie was really thinking. In any case, United Company and Standard Oil Alliance jointly invested $300 million to acquire the Steel King Company.

The majority of the shares, and just the amount of funds involved, spread out and made many people stunned. They deeply admired the strength of this alliance, and even felt that it was normal for Morgan to not win in the face of such an alliance.

"Then when the contract is signed, I won't go!" Sheffield said uncertainly, "Since the merger and acquisition has been successful, I will go home and work on my own affairs."

"That's not possible. Mr. Carnegie has made it clear that he hopes you will attend important signing occasions." Young Rockefeller shook his head and said, "He specifically asked me to do so before I came back."

"Okay!" Sheffield understood that all doubts would be answered after the official signing, and there was no need to rush.

But before that, Sheffield and Fisher discussed the prospects of washing machines in the hotel, and even began to face up to the ancestors of some current home appliances, such as electric fans. Electric fans have been around for many years. As for the extent of promotion, anyway, Sheffield

Field had not seen the Electric Fan Trust.

"White appliances?" Sheffield talked about the types of home appliances that can replace labor in future generations, such as air conditioners, washing machines, refrigerators, and even many kitchen supplies. These things are inconspicuous at first sight, but in fact they can show the taste of life.

, many things have actually appeared for a long time, but there is no integrated system yet.

There is no doubt that in the first year of the 20th century, if all these things were combined, it would be a new industry. Although it may not look like something that changes the world, its significance is not low at all.

You must know that if these things can be as cost-effective as Kodak cameras, they can be sold all over the world, at least in big European cities. Since early refrigerators and washing machines had large built-in engines, it is necessary to ensure that the actual internal volume of the appliances is sufficient.

The product is made very large, and the white casing can make the machine itself look flatter and less obtrusive.

"With the promotion of electrification, electrical appliances should also enter the lives of the public, so in this field, Fisher, you are a pioneer." Sheffield praised this fan who came to visit him without hesitation, "

You are the talent I need. I will support you in related research. Even the scope of washing machines is too small. We should delineate the scope larger. In this way, I will send you and me back to Chicago to bring you

Take your family to Houston, Mr. Tesla is also there, and there is a 404 Electric Power Research Institute in Houston, where you will have everything you need."

"404 Electric Power Research Institute!" Fisher muttered the term. Many large companies had their own R&D institutions, which was not surprising to him, but why was it given such a name? What's the special meaning?

"It doesn't have any special meaning. No one is allowed in!" Sheffield laughed. How can people in this era understand Internet terminology?

What Tesla is currently studying is wind power generation. People have always been very interested in wind power generation, especially for the descendants of European immigrants. Windmills have a different meaning to people in many European countries. The first wind power plant in the United States

Generators have been around for over a decade.

Converting the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical kinetic energy, and then converting the mechanical energy into electrical kinetic energy, is wind power generation. Because the wind volume is unstable, the wind turbine outputs alternating current of 13-25v, which must be rectified by the charger, and then rectified by the charger.

The battery is charged to convert the electrical energy generated by the wind turbine into chemical energy. Then an inverter power supply with a protective circuit is used to convert the chemical energy in the battery into alternating current to ensure stable use.

Why let the Tesla team study this kind of thing? Who makes the conditions in the south inferior to those in the north? Thermal power generation requires coal, and hydropower generation requires large rivers. Both conditions are worse in the south than in the north. Wind power is already the smallest condition between the north and the south.

.

It is not for environmental protection at all, although environmental protection can be a point when it is officially put into operation. What the Tesla team is currently studying is charger rectification to ensure the stability of wind power generation.

Also, at present, the objective fact is that the United States is vast and sparsely populated, and there is no shortage of wind power facilities in terms of natural conditions. Investing in research is not throwing money into the water.

Someone sent Fisher to the train station. If Sheffield returns to Houston this time, he is really ready to plan this matter with the Tesla team. Of course, the top priority now is to solve the problem of the steel king.

Tomorrow was the official signing day. Sheffield spread out a newspaper to kill time, but the headline above made him jump. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is crazy. A newspaper of this era still dares to openly call for the assassination of the president?"

At the end, I saw the small print below, reprinted from the San Francisco Examiner! Sheffield curled his lips and said, "It turns out to be Hearst's newspaper. This Irishman really dares to do anything."

Sheffield has long wanted to deal with this bastard, but he has not done so for two reasons. First, Hearst is a senior supporter of the Democratic Party. Second, Hearst's father is a senator. The latter is more

Important. Otherwise, because of his Irish identity, Hearst always caused trouble for Sheffield on Chinese labor, and he would have been merciless long ago.

But Sheffield never dreamed that this man would be bold enough to publicly call for the assassination of the president. Even though the Democratic Party had lost twice and William Bryan had accepted the fact, this man was jumping up and down to get attention.

"It can't be related to the death of William McKinley, right?" Sheffield didn't take it seriously. He didn't know that the assassination of William McKinley in history was really related to this newspaper.

Out came the San Francisco Examiner, a news paper calling for the president's assassination.

Sheffield didn't know the inside story, so naturally he didn't pay too much attention. He rested in the hotel for a day. Early the next morning, he set off with Rockefeller Jr. to the headquarters of Carnegie Steel Company. Although he had been waiting for

No one showed up at the hotel, but one can imagine that this important day would definitely be attended by many political and business figures.

Sheffield was right. The front of the headquarters of Carnegie Steel Company was already crowded with people. Everyone was either rich or noble. They stood there neatly dressed with a smile on their face, thinking that they had the status to participate in such a grand event.

Feel proud from the bottom of my heart.

The US$300 million acquisition of Carnegie Steel Company alone was enough to raise the blood pressure of those who participated. No one could imagine how much wealth it was. Sheffield appeared with the younger Rockefeller, attracting the attention of many people.

Knowing that he is the ally of the Rockefeller family this time.

"I didn't expect this man to be much younger than Rockefeller Jr. If these two people stand together, our country's economic landscape in the next few decades will largely depend on their ideas."

Companion, a young man from a rich family stared at the cold wind. Although his body felt chilly, he still stood straight and showed off his knowledge.
