Chapter 321 Lawyer Letter Warning!
If more than a hundred years later, the matter of Sheffield and Edith Rockefeller would not matter at all, it would be an era when all American citizens were paying attention to the Kardashian butt, but in the early twentieth century, this was
One big thing is that the citizen class in this era also requires the rich and public figures to become moral benchmarks.
But now the heir to the United Company and the princess of the oil kingdom have set a very bad example for the citizens of the country. Calling it a major earthquake is not an exaggeration at all, and what will follow will inevitably be overwhelming accusations. It can be said that this year,
People in the media and newspaper industry are very happy, and freedom of speech has never been so thorough as it is now.
"Where can I find a boss like me who gives his employees the opportunity to curse him?" Sheffield held the phone between his neck and talked on the phone with Edith Rockefeller in Chicago, chatting about this issue every time they called.
"You can see clearly, but you don't know that the citizens are scolding us both now." Edith Rockefeller's mouth was full of complaints. Even the dedicated telephone line that had just been built could not make her happy.
"What else can they do besides curse? Can swearing kill someone? I have never heard of what a bunch of clowns who can't touch my knees can do to us? How powerful do they think they are?
"In my eyes, there is no difference between the black people who are being imprisoned by the police in southern states. A group of slaves think they are the masters of the country!" Sheffield said dismissively and comforted, "You and I are lovers, what's wrong? They
They are just jealous of me and jealous that they don’t have a chance to move forward.”
Few people are truly anti-privilege. What most people object to is just that they do not have privilege. Sheffield dare not say how smart he is, but his understanding on this point is absolutely correct.
"Anyway, I'm preparing to have a baby now, so I don't have time to care about them. You don't have any physical inconveniences. Don't let those excrement workers get in the way!" Edith Rockefeller changed to a comfortable position and lay down, and said lazily,
"It's like you said, those people are jealous of me giving birth to your child. Why don't the rich women like them?"
"As long as those shit pickers can come up to me, it's just a few intimate photos. They can explain everything but nothing. After those shit pickers start making up nonsense, I will ask the legal department of United Company
Deliver letters from lawyers to your door." Sheffield said with a smug look, "When the time comes, we will bankrupt them and merge these people's newspapers."
In this era, it is certain that the virtues of the big bosses in the Ministry of Shock are fabricated. I believe that within a few days, similar news will be overwhelming. After all, even the news about the Spanish fleet landing in New York during the Spanish-American War can be fabricated.
What can't be made up?
After comforting Edith Rockefeller, Sheffield hung up the phone. He didn't mind the fake news created by the manure digger. The biggest difficulty in this matter was what Anne, who had graduated and returned to Arlington Manor, thought about it.
.After inquiring around Padra, he was sure that there was no mole and he could continue the transaction.
Judging from the current progress, Sheffield would like to praise himself if no one praises him. The process of manipulating public opinion this time is perfect, and he has almost achieved the purpose he envisioned before.
Why do I say it's almost? It's because one thing is definitely going to be delayed. He once promised Anne to hold the World Expo in New Orleans. Now it seems that it will definitely not be possible this year. The southern states want to truly restore peace. In a short time,
A few months may not be enough.
When the social environment is currently so tense, it is naturally even more difficult to hold the World Expo. The World Expo that Anne was promised can only be postponed. Sheffield sighed, "No matter what era, the cost of picking up girls is always so high!"
Hosting the World Expo naturally reflects the current strength of the United Company in a larger sense, but the original motivation was Sheffield bragging in front of women that he wanted to host an World Expo for others.
Women are devils! The style of slave owners has something in common with King You of Zhou who played beacon games on the princes during the Spring and Autumn Period.
As Edith Rockefeller said, she could hide in the villa and wait for her childbirth, but Sheffield couldn't hide in Oak Manor, and he was eager to count the results of the battle.
Bringing a carload of people to the Louisiana State Prison, as the heavy iron door was opened, it seemed as if they were in a new world, "Some money cannot be saved. This prison is not American Century at all. It must be rebuilt."
Repair it, by the way, what is the original number of prisoners?" Sheffield asked boredly, holding a cigar in his mouth.
"The original maximum capacity of the prison was 2,700 people, but now it seems that it is indeed a little overcrowded."
"How many people are being imprisoned now?" Sheffield asked, blowing out a beautiful smoke ring.
"More than seventeen thousand people!" The warden glanced at his boss and carefully said the shocking number.
"Fortunately, it's just a little overcrowded." Sheffield nodded indifferently, which relieved the warden's heart. His boss did not worry about the numbers.
"It should be expanded. Everything in the prison can be saved, such as food and prison uniforms, but the things used to manage these criminals cannot be saved, such as handcuffs, shackles, and high-wall barbed wire. Let me think about it. If these things are shipped back from Cuba, what will happen?
How about new manufacturing? Including this prison, all the private prisons currently contracted will immediately come up with a report and place an order with Carnegie Standard United Steel Company!" Sheffield complained helplessly, "Everything is like this these days.
It’s not easy to do, and you have to work hard for criminals.”
"The boss is so considerate of the criminals. I believe that even these heinous criminals will be grateful to the boss." The warden pointed in the direction of the prison building. Indeed, there were crowds of people behind the bars. Many criminals were looking in the direction of Sheffield.
He must have been inspired by God, smearing his mouth with honey and spitting out fragrance to the slave owner.
"I hope they can regain their freedom soon?" Sheffield didn't feel anything was wrong at all, nor did he feel there was anything wrong with the behavior of these criminals who were sentenced harshly because of their collusion with the state court.
Instead, he counts the labor force gained on his fingers. Not counting the three private prisons in Texas that have no expiration date, there are currently seventeen prisons contracted by southern states. The only drawback is that few of them have no expiry date.
, most prisons have a ten-year contract period, and some prisons only have a short five-year contract period.
There is a contract period, which makes Sheffield feel dissatisfied. As a businessman, he naturally hopes that it will be as long as possible, preferably forever. What can a five-year contract period do?
"Actually, it would be good for us to provoke infighting among criminals. Of course, it shouldn't be too obvious." Sheffield pondered for a moment and said to the warden, "When states arrest criminals, they will not leave detailed files. In other words, the state will
The government doesn’t know how many criminals there are in prison, so when you report, you should report the number of criminals lower, which is good for production.”
In fact, this is almost the same as taking free money, but the United Company is a private enterprise, and it is certainly impossible to empty the prisons just for a small subsidy. If you carefully calculate the over-reporting and under-reporting, it will be more beneficial to profits to under-report the number of criminals.
Because too many prisons were contracted this time, the original prison management talents were somewhat insufficient. He had already sent a telegram to Manila to hand over the prison replica to the military. The prison management talents of the United Company are now returning to the country.
.After such a long time, I believe that the military in Manila has understood how to make profits in the prison system. The slave owners have reached the time to hide their merit and fame, and now they are turning around to solve domestic problems.
The actual problem now is to cool down the process of arresting black people as much as possible. Judging from the frequency of major newspapers, it can be said that it has been successful so far. The attention of citizens has changed from the previous women's rights to conventional issues.
Gossip. If Sheffield does not respond to his relationship with Edith Rockefeller, others will see him as guilty.
After a period of information bombardment, just when the heat was about to pass, United Company stated through the New Orleans Morning News that it would reserve the right to pursue legal action against the rumormongers. This completely angered the man who claimed to be the uncrowned king.
The tough southern state governments have compromised, but this businessman dares not to accept the supervision of public opinion.
"William, why do you have to tangle with these dung diggers?" McHale asked puzzledly, "There is no benefit in tangling with them."
"Within a few months, the police department cannot solve all the problems. I want to buy time for the Democratic Party. It doesn't matter. The United Company has always stood with the Democratic Party anyway. It's no big deal to come out to help cover it up. Let's talk about it now."
Why don't I dare to do anything to these shit pickers? As long as I don't die, United Company will always be mine. I don't always have to worry about elections. Today, those shit pickers are biting me and I will be biting them for the rest of my life.
They won’t let go.”
Sheffield said nonchalantly that it was a trivial matter and that it was completely worth the hassle to buy time for the state police departments. After all the problems were resolved, he would naturally have time to settle accounts with these manure diggers.
Relying on the New Orleans Morning News, Sheffield began a long turmoil war with public opinion against himself. Every piece of fake news against him was collected and used as evidence to prosecute the other party. He is a businessman, not a politician.
