The imbalance between men and women is a serious problem. Not to mention the Republic a hundred years later, the problem of the ratio of men to women among Chinese laborers is much more serious. This cannot be solved by relying on Confucian culture. Many crimes are closely related to this problem.

, West Coast citizens have a higher evaluation of the Japanese community than the Chinese community, because the ratio of men to women in the Japanese community is more balanced than that of the Chinese.

But the reality is that because the appearance of the Chinese labor population is too different from that of the main citizens of the United States, it is impossible for these people to be absorbed by the United States, so they have to go to a place where it is easier to live to solve this problem. It is easier to solve this problem in Latin American countries than in the United States.

.

"Boss, would you like to stay for a meal? Today is a good day." Zhang Deqing extended the invitation. After all, there were not many American companies that dared to directly employ Chinese workers, and bosses like Sheffield were not uncommon.

"Save a meal, that's a good thing." Sheffield showed his stingy nature upon hearing this and prepared to have a meal here, ignoring the dissatisfaction of several women who came over.

Zhang Deqing didn't realize it. He had always been a little face-blind to these white people. He had never seen a few women and couldn't recognize who they were. As he went to the kitchen, he said, "Actually, we overseas Chinese, what we hope most in our hearts is...

Returning to my own country, it’s a pity that the Qing Dynasty is like this, which is worrying. I don’t know when it will be revived. What can we learn from the United States?”

"There will be such a day, but you don't have to learn from the United States." Sheffield followed into the kitchen. Zhang Deqing's problem was so big that he couldn't explain it.

From the perspective of the dynasty's foreign policy, the Anshi Rebellion was a landmark event. After that, the Central Plains dynasty turned conservative, no longer had the motivation to expand its territory on a large scale, and turned to closed doors. This was also the case between the Song and Ming dynasties.

The reason why the territory is not as good as that of the Han and Tang Dynasties is that the Ming Dynasty actually only had two generations of emperors to develop the country. After Yongle died, they entered a pattern of continuously abolishing administrative agencies and giving up land to defend the Great Wall.

Seeing the chef in the kitchen cooking, Sheffield suddenly had an idea and asked, "How much salt should I put in this dish?"

"It requires a little sugar and an appropriate amount of salt, and you need to control the heat yourself." The chef was stunned for a moment but replied truthfully.

"A little? An appropriate amount?" Sheffield looked at Zhang Deqing and said, "That's the problem. It's easy to talk about cooking, but many things cannot be accumulated through experience. You must calculate how many materials are needed. Mathematics is extremely important!

"

In the field of mathematics in ancient times, you don’t need to think about it to know that ancient Greece was outstanding, and its achievements were more than those of all civilizations combined. It was not on the same level at all. Algebra was not a strong point of ancient Greece. The real strength was in the field of geometry.

If we had continued to develop from this point, Western civilization would have defeated the whole world two thousand years ago. However, since the Roman Empire accepted Christianity, there has never been any commendable research in ancient Greek mathematics. It has even been criticized by Christians.

A gathering place for mathematicians.

From this point of view, Western civilization fell into the pit earlier than Eastern civilization, but it also emerged from the pit earlier than Eastern civilization. After the demise of the Eastern Roman Empire, it seemed that all the meridians were opened at once, and it soared into the sky.

During the unified Roman Empire, Western mathematics was extinguished. In Europe, which has always been divided, countries competed with each other, but powerful energy broke out. Therefore, this matter still depends on how to choose and which aspect is more important.

Slave owners don't have the ability to explain historical evolution issues. They just tell Zhang Deqing through cooking that mathematics is important. As for why it is so important, you can think about it yourself.

On this day, Sheffield spent a whole day in a Chinese residential area, and had a sense of seeing overseas Chinese celebrating the Spring Festival. Several women witnessed with his own eyes how he ate grass.

There is no sign of weakness in the entire group of Chinese workers. With sufficient food and heavy labor, they are all covered in tendons at first glance. The food is naturally no problem. The head office is responsible for the agriculture and animal husbandry of the United States, and the food supply cannot be passed down. Wouldn't it be a joke to go out?

"Would you like some more? You're eating grass again, so you're definitely not hungry!" Edith Rockefeller served the famous Texas steak, which was sizzling with oily stars.

"No, I have to keep a proper appetite, otherwise I'm afraid the rich woman won't want me." I felt full just by looking at the Sheffield steak in front of me, so I hurriedly declined.

After the Panama Canal started construction again, there has been no valuable news. Every once in a while, the Panama Canal Engineering Company will hold a press conference on time to introduce the progress of the project to the media. To be honest, the reason why many media are concerned about the canal project is , largely to wait for news such as the outbreak of the plague. Well, for many people, it is a human tragedy and a sad fact. For newspapers and media, it is the most eye-catching news. .

Just like lawyers hope that every house will have some case, whether it is theft or robbery, or if it doesn't work, it can be a murder case, but these cases must be solved, otherwise it will just be the police who are busy instead of them. Doctors hope that every house will be busy. Busy getting sick, these excrement workers are also looking forward to something unexpected happening day and night.

However, these media are destined to be unable to wait. The current wood processing in New Orleans is supported by the forests along the Panama Canal. Slave owners have sufficient experience in this area. No one needs to be taught what destructive mining is. Just harvest what is valuable. , if it is worthless, it is set on fire. The smoke and dust over Panama last for a long time. People who don’t know it think that a volcano has erupted.

Why do this? Naturally, it is to squeeze out the last bit of natural resources. After the surface of the earth has lost much value, it is time for chemical sprays to come on. Sheffield also wants to know whether Bayer has wasted its reputation and whether it can shoulder the expectations of his ally.

Recently, Sheffield has been busy with the last thing that can attract attention, which is to intervene in the tobacco industry. Today, he finally waited for representatives from other southern tobacco companies to come to discuss a big business.

Sheffield's opening speech was based on the fierce competition among major tobacco companies, insufficient profits, blind price wars, and low quality. This speech was very formatted. In fact, Morgan said the same thing when he integrated the railways and intervened in the steel industry. To put it bluntly, Sheffield is copying Morgan's blueprint and doing the same thing as Morgan. It would be very interesting if Morgan were here today.

Since working independently has so many shortcomings, it is inevitable to join forces to become bigger and stronger.

"The competition in the tobacco industry is fierce at the moment. The tobacco is produced on the land of our Dixie people, but we don't have a strong tobacco company. The majority of the profits are taken away by the Yankees. This is not okay. I think anything that grows on southern soil Everything on the market and most of the profits should go to us Dixie people." After a high-sounding nonsense, Sheffield changed the subject and said, "Merger is the only way out, it reduces competition and has greater pricing power, even if If we don’t raise prices, at least we won’t shrink profits, and we can even get involved in the export industry.”

At present, the largest tobacco company in the United States is the American Tobacco Company, which is aggressively expanding overseas. However, Sheffield knows that a year later, in order to quell the fierce trade war, the British Imperial Tobacco Company and the American Tobacco Company of the United States jointly established a joint venture, the British American Tobacco Company.

Under the agreement, the two companies will not be allowed to trade in each other's domestic markets, but will have the right to use each other's brands and trademarks within their respective markets. Both companies' operations outside the UK or US home markets will be handed over to British American Tobacco.

operations so that the new company's business can spread all over the world.

But in fact, the establishment of British American Tobacco Company ultimately benefited the British more. British capital eventually controlled the majority of the shares of the joint venture. Later, the American Tobacco Company gave up its shares in the joint venture. At this point, the old brands

The world hegemon taught the new world hegemon a lesson, letting American capital know whether it is ginger or old.

So Sheffield is preparing to start a new business. A greedy person like him will definitely not choose to put his hope in the possibility of the British opening up the Internet, so the first thing he will seize is the domestic market in the United States. Once the British American Tobacco joint venture is established, he will

He criticized American tobacco companies as being unpatriotic and acting as compradors of British imperialism, specializing in exploiting citizens of the United States.

"What William means is that we should set the goal to be on par with the American Tobacco Company?" the manager of Sherman Tobacco Company said doubtfully, "It seems that this goal is too high."

"The goal of counting on your company is too high, but if all of us unite together, the goal is not high!" Sheffield said with his head held high, "Because the raw materials are in our hands, and the joint company has a variety of products across the country.

Channels and markets are not a problem. The biggest problem is whether you are willing to cooperate. If you are not willing, even though we are all Southern Enterprises and Dixie companies, once the United Company officially enters the tobacco industry, accidental damage may be inevitable."

Sheffield had made up his mind that he had to enter the tobacco industry! Regardless of whether the managers of other tobacco companies agreed or opposed it, it was inevitable. Lighting a cigar, Sheffield put his hands on the table and asked, "Now that I have finished speaking, who

Agree, who is against?"

After a period of suffocating silence, the participating managers all acquiesced to this fact. On this day, United Tobacco Company was officially established. Sheffield once again merged with nine tobacco companies, together with Reynolds Tobacco Company, to formally establish United Tobacco Company.
