Sheffield was considering political interests and knew the historical records about Roosevelt. He knew that the proposer of the carrot and stick policy would not let the Panama Canal be sold to the Germans, so he dared to raise a price and expressed his disapproval from the beginning.

Bargaining. Facts have now proved that President Roosevelt was a very patriotic president. After weighing the political interests, he allowed the profiteer Sheffield to successfully take advantage of the country.

Although the United States was a beacon of capitalism, Sheffield still held back, and that was to sell only the shares belonging to the United Company. McHale and other companies' shares were still in their hands.

This was also to prevent Roosevelt from settling accounts with the United Company after taking possession of the canal.

In the end, Sheffield emphasized one thing to President Roosevelt, "As for all the purchase lists signed in the past, I hope the President will not tear up the contracts. They involve the issue of liquidated damages for many purchasers. This was also stated when the contract was signed.

!”

As for these purchasing companies, many are affiliated entities of the United Company. Although the slave owners have sold the shares of the American Canal Management Company to the federal government, the previous contracts must continue to be implemented.

"Mr. William's business is really unexpected." Rosen, who had returned to the White House, held back his anger enough to turn into hyperthyroidism and praised with a smile that was uglier than crying.

"It's true. After this time, there may be many businessmen ready to follow suit. Morgan, DuPont, etc. are all possible!" Sheffield put on his honest and reliable look again and analyzed in front of Rosen.

We have done some research on the current psychological activities of profiteers in the United States and the possible herding effect.

This made Rosen dumbfounded. Sometimes the boss of the joint company in front of him would act more hateful than anyone else. But sometimes he would act surprisingly frank, and he would hardly look like a businessman. "Mr. William, since you

Knowing that the country has paid a huge price for this, why not lower the price."

"In business, I must respect my profession. I must not be soft-hearted when I can get benefits." Sheffield shrugged and said helplessly, "If God gives you such an opportunity, if you don't accept it, you are going against God. You should

Struck by thunder from the sky."

With a victor's smile, Sheffield walked out of the White House holding Edith Rockefeller's hand, and once again saw a carload of bodyguards. Recently, these bodyguards have been guarding outside the White House, which must be said to be very hard.

But this kind of hard work is worth it. Employees of black gold companies generally have higher salaries, especially when performing tasks, so these people like their bosses very much and run around with nothing to do.

"Boss, we have been very worried recently. We thought the president really detained the boss." After leaving the range of the White House security personnel, Sheffield was immediately surrounded by a group of bodyguards.

"No, our president is a very easy person to deal with, gentle and amiable." Sheffield lied with his eyes open. He had just negotiated a big deal worth over 100 million yuan, and the slave owner was in a very good mood.

If there is any regret, it is that the federal government is not a private enterprise after all. The United States has its own national conditions. It will not take the money immediately like a private enterprise, but will have to go through a series of processes such as proposals, approvals, and allocations.

State-owned things are such bastards sometimes and must follow established procedures.

As soon as he left the White House, Sheffield immediately gave instructions to the media and told them how to set the pace. National fundraising is nothing more than a few tricks, one of which is to issue public bonds. He still doesn't know whether Roosevelt will issue public bonds.

If released, it may cause a backlash in public opinion, and the scapegoat found by the slave owners will still be a black man.

If tens of thousands of black people had not died, the United Company would not have wanted to sell the canal due to compensation issues, and naturally a series of subsequent events would not have occurred. In short, the source of everything happening now is black people.

Repetition is a kind of power. If a lie is repeated a hundred times, it will become the truth. This is the "Goebbels Effect". Some very important social laws and rules of life are hidden in complex social phenomena. Mastering them will help you

Discover the truth of things and gain a deeper understanding of society and human nature; by using them rationally, many complex and difficult problems will be easily solved.

The most profound propaganda is simple repetition. It is said that if a lie is repeated a hundred times, it will become the truth. When public opinion criticizes black people every day, a new loyal believer will be gained every day. Therefore, the news should not be superficial, but the important thing is not to deviate.

Orbital, if it is useless for a day or two, then it will affect more and more people in a year or two.

"To Chicago or New York?" Edith Rockefeller got into the car and asked the slave owner's destination.

"Go to New York. Now I urgently need to be thought that I am also a member of the Rockefeller family." Sheffield said shamelessly, and the meaning behind the words was the same, Edith, I don't want to work hard anymore...

Edith Rockefeller rolled her eyes and muttered, "How could such a person exist in the world!"

"Yes, even a man like me was accidentally pushed down by a married woman." Sheffield boasted, "I still remember that in Chicago, I was not even an adult at that time. You are too embarrassed, woo hoo

…”

Edith Rockefeller covered the mouth of the slave owner who was about to spout, and there was a driver in the car!

"It's amazing. You can get the federal government to foot the bill. With a business like yours, it opens the door to a new world for us." In the Rockefeller Manor, young Rockefeller saw the returning slave owner and couldn't help but admired, "But you

It’s a very bad motive to always take Edith everywhere with you.”

Sheffield stretched out his hand to scratch his scalp and said shyly, "How can you talk like that? The main thing is that Edith loves me and likes to be with me. You haven't seen how happy she is, and you haven't noticed that Edith is better than other women of the same age.

She looks young, this is all my fault, I can make her happy."

"Edith seems to be only thirty years old!" Little Rockefeller said with a cold face, saying that he did not want to hear about the good life of his sister and brother-in-law. He changed the subject and said, "Anyway, you have made a lot of money, 1.6 billion.

, when you bought it from the French, it was only over 30 million US dollars, but when it was resold, the price increased five times."

"If I had been able to see the canal open, I could have collected tens of billions in a hundred years. You can't settle the accounts like this. The country has been the one making money for a long time." Sheffield waved his hand and said, "I can't do that.

It's for the country. If I were a German, I might be able to get 200 million. Besides, I haven't received the money yet. It's the end of the year. Why won't the funds be allocated until next year? It's only 100 million. And

The 60 million has to be divided into two years and paid gradually, so I obviously suffered a big loss."

"Yes, you are almost losing your job as a bus." Little Rockefeller endured the contempt in his heart and sneered, but found that Sheffield looked directly at him and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Do you like penguins?" Sheffield asked tentatively with wide eyes.

"Nothing special, what's wrong?" Little Rockefeller was confused by this confusing question.

"Nothing!" Sheffield laughed, trying to cover up what he just said was nonsensical. It was a joke. It was definitely a joke.

During dinner time, the elder Rockefeller announced an important decision, "John, I have decided to establish a public education foundation, and you will be responsible for its operation. The scope of donations includes a series of areas such as education, medical care, and civil rights. I have decided to do this."

I have been thinking for some time that the capital injection from the health committee can be done through this foundation."

"I know, father!" Rockefeller Jr. showed no surprise and was obviously prepared for this.

The meat-eating Sheffield paused slightly with the cutlery in his hands, glanced at Edith Rockefeller, and sighed secretly. If nothing else happened, the mistress should have sold his words after returning home. But that's not the case.

It’s nothing, the American philanthropic foundation itself was pioneered by the Rockefeller family.

Maybe it had been brewing for a long time, but it was just Sheffield talking about it that made the old Rockefeller make up his mind. There was no question of who plagiarized whose idea.

"I just talked about it. My father has always had this idea." Edith Rockefeller said to Sheffield with an apology after dinner, "I can only say that successful people have similar ideas."

Listening to Edith Rockefeller's compliment, Sheffield chuckled and said, "It's okay. It can be seen from what your father said that he must have been thinking about it for a long time. Education must be a private university. As for medical care, your father

I also understand the establishment of the Health Commission and the huge investment in medical care by the Rockefeller family. Is it civil rights? It is to intervene in civil movements."

Sheffield only knew that there was such a Rockefeller Foundation, but he really didn’t know that among the initial donations, there was such a category as civil rights. In the eyes of slave owners, the first two, education and medical care, were so obvious to the old Rockefeller.

If it is aimed at private education and the medical industry, what good purpose can civil rights serve?

"Why do you have such dark thoughts? A charitable foundation makes everything you say taste bad." Edith Rockefeller said very dissatisfied, "Why does charity seem like a mistake from your mouth?"

"I was wrong!" Sheffield raised his hands and surrendered, admitting his mistake very simply. He had to say that old age is still hotter. The old Rockefeller started to lay out the charity foundation so quickly. It can be said that he was far ahead of the curve.
