Chapter 338 Opening of the World Expo

The major international event now is that the Boer War has officially ended. The British finally negotiated peace with the Boers and won the Boer War. The next stage of the South African Union is about to emerge.

When it comes to making jokes about the British, there is no distinction between north and south. The Yankees and Dixies have always had a common language. Everyone in the world, except the British themselves, is happy about the difficulties that Britain has faced the Boers this time.

Rockefeller Jr. and Sheffield were no exception. The British had always been a bridge to enhance friendship between friends in this era. Rockefeller Jr. admired the new atmosphere of urban construction in New Orleans. "The efficiency of the Chinese workers is simply a model for all workers. This is

It must be admitted that if all the mining areas were owned by Chinese workers, I believe there would not be so many strikes."

"It is precisely because they are foreigners that they are welcomed by many mine owners. However, to other workers, Chinese workers are enemies, so when I use them, they are usually sent to foreign projects. There is no way to use them in New Orleans.

"Yes." Sheffield told about his previous difficulties and said with a helpless smile, "Sometimes I think that I should really thank them, but I can't do what they want."

"Slave owners also feel grateful in their hearts?" Little Rockefeller said with disbelief on his face, "Don't you always discriminate against these people?"

"No, to be precise, if black people are like that, I won't discriminate against black people." Sheffield denied flatly, "But their laziness can only be stimulated by whips. Only when bullets are fired at any time can black people work hard.

You can still talk to the Chinese, but if you talk to the blacks, they will think you are afraid of them. Then I sent them to Puerto Rico. Be careful not to be too curious, and there should be no problems."

Sheffield once really wanted to thank the Chinese workers, but in the end he found that he had nothing to help. It was a good thing to send him abroad. At least Puerto Rico is a beautiful place with beautiful scenery. He only needs to worry about yellow fever. Regarding this virus, he said

To be honest, there will be no solution after a hundred years. Why is there so much emphasis on prevention once a virus appears? Because when an outbreak does occur, drugs will only play an auxiliary role and ultimately rely on human immunity.

Europeans did not find a way to cure the Black Death until it disappeared. The reason why the Black Death eventually disappeared was that the death rate exceeded the infection rate. The host was already dead before the Black Death spread.

Only then did it calm down.

"How about I send some doctors to follow?" Rockefeller Jr. took the initiative, because the Rockefeller family is vigorously developing the medical industry and also wants to train a group of elites. "But you have to ensure the safety of the doctors. My hospitals have never been

Where patients make trouble unreasonably, those who cause trouble are sent to jail."

Sheffield absolutely believes in this point. The protection of doctors in the United States can be said to be a paradise for doctors. Not to mention physical actions, even if they just curse a few words, as long as the doctor is dissatisfied, he can call the police directly and arrest him first for the reason of endangering human life.

Said. Therefore, although the United States feels uncomfortable without a shooting incident, few medical staff have been threatened by this kind of threat.

Seeing this, it turned out that the source was the Rockefeller family. The slave owner asked why the medical community in the United States was so powerful. He also discovered the historical truth through chatting. Sheffield felt very happy. He took the little Rockefeller around and commended the Chinese workers.

We took a photo together at the monument, and that was the end. We continued back to the manor to prepare for the arrangement of enemies on both sides.

"You can treat sick people, but don't use Chinese workers as guinea pigs. The United Company is an international enterprise. Even if the time doesn't come now, it will definitely enter Asia in the future. The Qing Dynasty is the suzerain of many countries, even if it declines

There is still a lot of residual strength, and I am still ready to deal with it."

Sheffield remembered that Rockefeller Jr. used people to test the urine properties of medicines for the medical industry, and he had to vaccinate the people first.

"You are thinking very long-term, but don't worry, I have found a more suitable place." Young Rockefeller was surprised at the slave owner's rare kindness, and said with a smile, "You are thinking very long-term, and you are planning to enter Asia?

But don’t worry, I found a place with lower control, India controlled by the British, which also has a large population, and is much less xenophobic than the Qing Dynasty, making it very easy to be deceived.”

Sheffield straightened his back with a sullen face, secretly thinking that God Shiva would bless him. This was Rockefeller's own attention. He did not bring the topic to India. But purely in terms of means, Rockefeller's vision was as far-sighted as a hundred years.

, actually keenly found the testing ground for later Western pharmaceutical companies, and the slave owners had to express their admiration.

The only thing that made little Rockefeller unhappy was that the women in Sheffield's Oak Manor didn't even shy away from it in front of him. Are they worthy of Edith Rockefeller, who already has two children?

As the New Orleans World's Fair approaches, guests who have received invitations have slowly gathered in this pearl of the south. On behalf of the United Company, Sheffield has welcomed one round after another of guests.

German companies were a very important group of people in the end, including giants such as Bayer and Thyssen. However, what surprised Sheffield was that the artillery queen Beta, the heir to Krupp, also left Essen and received an invitation to come.

North America, this is the backbone of German industrial enterprises.

"I'm not surprised even if Antarctica sends penguin representatives, but the arrival of the Artillery Queen is really surprising." Sheffield took the initiative to extend his hand and greeted in a low voice, "Dear Queen, I really have some business.

I want to talk to you."

"Oh, Mr. William, your words also surprise me. Could it be that United Company has made any progress in the field of arms?" Betakrupp said with a gentle smile, "Then I am very, very interested."

"With your help, I can strangle the DuPont Conglomerate to death." Sheffield showed his white teeth, "As a company of the United States, the DuPont Consortium actually supports the British and kills the weak Boers, which makes me feel ashamed.

."

"Mr. William's mind is really broad..." Betakrupp responded nonchalantly. Would a person like Sheffield care about the Boers on the other side of the Atlantic? This was simply a joke.

Of course it was a joke. Sheffield was just using the fate of the Boers to please the Germans. Although he did not do anything to the British openly, who doesn't know the attitude of the Germans during the Boer War? How much did he secretly do to make the British

Disgusting things?

Don't think that the Germans can't do anything on the European continent. German South-West Africa, northwest of South Africa, is a German colony. It's so close to each other. What will the Germans not do? In the Dutch- and German-speaking areas

Who doesn't know the relationship?

"Are you attracted to this artillery queen?" After letting Beta Krupp stay in the manor and Sheffield returned to his villa, Anne was the first to attack, while Natalia kept nodding on the side, obviously agreeing very much.

This kind of speculation.

"I'm just talking about business!" Sheffield looked at a loss. Where is this? "Beta is very beautiful. She is far inferior to the two of you. I can't walk when I see a woman."

Human?"

"Edith Rockefeller is not outstanding in appearance. Didn't you hook up with her? This artillery queen is not that old yet." Anne said with a sour tone, "Who knows if you will sacrifice for business? I heard that it is.

Like you, she is the only competitor to a big company."

"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes!" When it came to Edith Rockefeller, Sheffield was a little emboldened, but he still explained, "The German Empire is an imperial country, and Krupp is the backbone of the German Empire's military industry. You are William II.

If you were alive, would you let such an important company heir marry a foreigner? To be honest, if the French Empire still existed today, it would not be so easy for you to be with me. The World Expo is about to start, and the exhibition halls are almost full.

The decoration is done, don't think too much. I heard President Roosevelt is coming too."

President Roosevelt has indeed confirmed that he will attend. Although the first stage of the negotiations between the coal cartel and the miners' union that he mediated has failed, it is known that Sheffield has invested heavily and invited many guests to host the World Expo in New Orleans.

After hearing the news, he was still prepared to come over in person.

Deep down, Roosevelt did not necessarily have a good impression of Sheffield, but such a grand occasion helped the current citizenry pay attention to negative news, so he left the White House to prepare to host the World Expo.

"Our president is here in person. To be honest, as long as he comes to New Orleans, his life is in your hands. Aren't you going to kill him?" After hearing the news, little Rockefeller shouted to Sheffield in an encouraging voice.

Encouraged.

"Stop here, why don't you kill him in New York? I'm holding the World Expo, live broadcasting an assassination of the president in front of the company representatives who came to New Orleans for the whole world?" Sheffield directly distanced himself from Rockefeller Jr.

He made his stance clear, "Let's do this. You find someone to assassinate you, and I'll create an environment for you."

On September 27, 1902, the New Orleans World's Fair officially opened with the theme of the new century, corresponding to the century review theme of the Paris World's Fair two years ago. Federal President Theodore Roosevelt presided over the opening ceremony in Louisiana.

Accompanied by state Governor Lange Hunt, he delivered a passionate speech, hoping that companies and guests from various countries who come to New Orleans would feel at home here.

"The United States... the United States was born in the New World. This country is a new country!" Sheffield cleared his throat. As the organizer, he had his own speech, reviewing the history of the city, and even mentioned being a new country.
