Chapter 316 Louisiana Act

"Send a telegram to McHale and be sure to let the Democratic Party take the lead for a few days and not give in so easily. This is a national carnival. When the avalanche begins, no snowflake is innocent. Let the New Orleans Morning News refute it in public opinion,

Speaking for the Democratic Party and the Louisiana state government, we can’t compromise so quickly without making two gestures.”

Sheffield flicked the cigarette ashes and asked Jesla to deliver the latest remote control instructions. He looked exhausted like never before. It can be said that he was not so concerned during the national election. Edith Rockefeller was a little nervous. She wanted to speak to Sheffield.

Field relaxed, but didn't know what to say and was a little at a loss.

"Don't be so anxious. Maybe you will have a stable profit growth point when you come to Brazil this time. Don't worry about domestic affairs!" Finally, Edith Rockefeller comforted softly. She felt that people in Sheffield who like money can only raise money.

And wealth can divert attention.

But he guessed wrong. At least when it came to making money, Sheffield was far more concerned about solving the black problem. He, as a slave owner, was essentially different from these Westerners. He was Chinese and valued power and influence.

These things far exceed money, and this different understanding between the East and the West cannot be changed.

While other large companies use influence to make more money, Sheffield is completely opposite. They use money to gain influence.

"At least New Orleans, as a place, does not keep black people within control. This southern center will absolutely not be able to take off again. And the city's resumption of takeoff will be more valuable to me." Sheffield rubbed his forehead.

He said indifferently, "If there are too many black people, housing prices will not rise. If housing prices are too low, there will be no room for black people to survive. I hope that housing prices in New Orleans will rise to the point where black people will definitely not be able to afford it, so this problem must be solved."

Furthermore, this time I contracted for more than a dozen prisons in various states. The purpose of the contracting is to make a profit, and I don’t want anyone to make any profit."

"You want to label all black people as criminals and lock them up for free." Edith Rockefeller sighed. "For this reason, you even stir up racial conflicts."

"Look up to me. Conflicts already exist, not to mention provocation." Sheffield showed a smile, grabbed Edith Rockefeller and pulled her into his arms, "You have seen the situation in Brazil with your own eyes. Let the United States become Brazil."

Do you want such a country?"

"This thing is done. After I return, I will promote housing loans in small batches in New Orleans." Sheffield said while calculating.

"Your foundation in the financial industry of the United Company is so poor, I'm really afraid that you will lose." Edith Rockefeller chuckled. She knew that Sheffield's company had such a shortcoming. Not only did she know it, she almost

All the big companies know it.

"Compensation? Well, there is a risk, so we need to implement it in small batches, and first set it within the scope of automobile workers. If you have a stable job and a good income, you will be more sure. Besides, I will pay for the loss, and the lender will pay for it.

Life, if you dare not pay back the money, you can try it." Sheffield sneered, "Of course, if they commit suicide, they have the ability. If it succeeds, I will start to promote it to major schools, so that the proud people of heaven can also feel it.

.Start with female students!”

"Why start with female students?" Edith Rockefeller was a little confused. "It seems that it is easier for male students to find good jobs, right?"

"You are right in terms of the employment environment. It is indeed easier for male students to find jobs after graduation. But it is precisely because family and society are not friendly to women. Girls who go to college must have good family conditions, otherwise their parents

They won't be allowed to study! The rest is the simplest reason..." A devilish smile flashed across Sheffield's face, and he lowered his voice and said, "It is easier for women to make money, as long as the moral bottom line is lowered.

"

Edith Rockefeller suddenly froze, feeling cold all over in the arms of the man she liked, and said tremblingly, "You have thought of everything."

"I didn't think about it at all. If a person is not afraid of death, I have no choice but to squeeze out the profits before this person dies." Sheffield reached out and skillfully slid his hand along Edith Rockefeller's collar and muttered.

He said, "You are a little cold. Let me help you warm up your body."

In life, you have to bear a heavy burden and move forward. If you don't force the citizen class, how do you know that the citizens have no money?

Amid the overwhelming accusations against the Louisiana Democratic Party and Congress, Berglin, the editor-in-chief of the New Orleans Morning News, once again took on the responsibility of speaking for Louisiana. In this precarious environment, the New Orleans Morning News and editor-in-chief Berglin seemed to

A clear stream.

In a comprehensive rebuttal, Berglin criticized various pressures on Louisiana, indicating that the current public opinion environment has deviated too far from the facts and turned public opinion into an invisible knife. Although it is invisible, it is still the same

It has played the role of an executioner, and the citizens' discussion is not a normal discussion. It has become like a mob venting their emotions.

This kind of refutation was widely criticized in the public opinion environment, and soon encountered a greater backlash. The pressure on Berglin himself and the Louisiana government not only did not ease, but intensified, which greatly affected Langehunt and the Louisiana government.

Many of his supporters committed suicide to thank the world.

"McHale, I predict that the rebuttal of the New Orleans Morning News will only cause a greater backlash. The environment mentioned in your telegram is no less intense than the national election. At this time, citizens are really a mob. They are blind.

They are irrational, they only know how to stand in line, and they only accept information that is beneficial to themselves. One day they will regain their rationality, but it is definitely not now. At that time, they will regret it and feel self-blame for everything today, but this kind of responsibility

The feeling of guilt is at best expressed in the heart. Some people may say that they were wrong at the beginning, but they will not refute it, but it is unlikely that they will take the initiative to admit their mistakes. No one has any reason to admit that they are wrong."

McHale opened the next telegram again, "The Dixie people have lived together with black people for a long time, and we are the losing side of the Civil War, so the Democratic Party must not compromise immediately, otherwise the Dixie people will be disappointed, and they must be tough at the beginning.

attitude, and finally resorted to powerless confrontation before being reluctant to solve the problem. Governor Langehunt is a politician, and I believe he also understands that this matter cannot disappoint voters, so I am not worried about him, it is mainly about you and Gai

You two, and many companies in the South, don't be frightened by public opinion. Of course, public opinion can kill people, but it should not harm us slave owners. Otherwise, we would have died more than thirty years ago. If public opinion is not good, it will also

It’s much better than it was back then.”

"After this crisis has passed, and when that day comes, the credibility of major newspapers will definitely be questioned. At that time, I can take the opportunity to acquire more newspapers and expand my territory in the media field, which is a good thing."

"I hope so!" McHale read the telegrams from Rio de Janeiro over and over again. I have to say that these telegrams came at the perfect time. Gale and Sheffield were not in New Orleans, so he could only operate everything by himself. At the critical moment,

I don’t even have a partner to discuss with, so sometimes I really lack confidence.

"The accusations made by some newspapers are completely unreasonable. Some newspapers now have no credibility at all. They are all eye-catching things. I still remember three years ago, there was a well-known newspaper that first advocated war. Later, I heard that

Saying that the Spanish fleet has entered the Atlantic Ocean, immediately reporting that the Spanish fleet will land in New York, editing fake news for the sake of newspaper sales, causing a large number of New York citizens to flee, this is the public opinion of our country..."

The governor of Louisiana, Langehunter, who was once again blocked by some reporters, said impatiently and forcefully, "They just point out the problems without proposing solutions to the problems. Some newspapers are as annoying as flies."

After Langehunter's remarks spread, they were like poking a hornet's nest, arousing the indignation of many newspapers. One newspaper accused him of being arrogant, and another accused him of being ungentlemanly.

After all, most newspapers in the United States in this era were shocking to the big bosses. The governor of Louisiana's attack on the newspaper media was almost equivalent to scolding all media, and public opinion seemed to have become even more unfavorable.

“Louisiana governor attacks free speech…”

“The governor of Louisiana wants to silence righteous citizens!”

"The governor of Louisiana feels that he can be like the aristocrats of Europe and not be supervised by public opinion..."

The sensational headlines greatly increased Langerhunt's popularity, and the name spread to everyone's ears.

Even many conservative leaders in the Democratic Party have said that Langehunt's statement is subject to discussion, and that Louisiana must find a way to introduce some bill to calm this public opinion.

In the first few days, Langehunter stated that there was nothing wrong with his remarks, but then he softened his attitude and said that he would try his best to solve the problem. Public opinion once again won, which is something worth celebrating.

In the Louisiana State House, Langehunter and the leaders of the House and Senate expressed their views on the bill to strictly restrain the criminal behavior of the black group. The well-prepared Democratic congressmen quickly proposed in response to the current public opinion.

There are many bills to deal with.

These include strengthening the law enforcement of the state public police, allowing black women to report crimes at any time and request compensation from criminals, adhering to procedural justice while not letting any criminal go unpunished, a total of 13 articles, as the newly introduced Louisiana Act, as
