It’s not that Sheffield doesn’t want to follow suit, it’s just that the country’s acquisition money hasn’t arrived yet, so they can only wait. It’s impossible to expect slave owners to use their own money to set up a charitable foundation. Citizens across the country know that the United Company’s

The business situation is not good, and I just suffered a big loss in Panama. I don't care if I don't sympathize with it, but I still want to pay for it?

"Annie, the excess funds on the company's books are used to purchase gold. Arlington has talents in this field. Talk to grandma!" Sheffield held the microphone and guided Anne at the base camp, "The funds on the company's books are not enough.

There is too much to keep, and stock market futures are not an important business project of the United Company. The family has always been an asset-heavy operation, so we must see that things are there. Numbers games are not what we are pursuing."

"I know!" Annie's voice hesitated and asked gently, "When will you come back? I miss you."

"Soon, I'll go back as soon as you speak." Sheffield lowered his voice with a look on his face, "I miss you too, just wait for me to come back."

"I'm so white!" Annie's voice was full of temptation and came out through the microphone, "There are not many people like you. Even the bison haven't been outside for so long, and you don't want to go home."

Basically, Sheffield is not prepared to leave too much money in the accounts and wants to clear the accounts. This is also in line with the imagination of citizens across the country. The United Company is experiencing operating difficulties. With the Panama Canal incident, he can also sort out the accounts and proceed.

After a period of time, the United Company will cry out from time to time, indicating that it is really encountering difficulties.

It is very normal to do this. The United Company is a private enterprise. It rushes forward to earn profits and takes big steps back to fulfill its national obligations. This is how private enterprises should be.

I haven’t seen that once there is a major disaster or disease, the public system is at work. Private companies are generally crying for poverty at this time and crying to the country. If the epidemic does not pass, the company’s capital chain will be broken.

Going bankrupt and so on.

For ordinary private enterprises, the company's capital chain is equivalent to the boss's funds. The two are the same thing. Otherwise, how can the boss maintain his luxurious life?

The funds of United Company are naturally Sheffield's personal property. Now he needs to let the citizens of the country know that United Company is in trouble now and is waiting for Roosevelt's purchase money to save its life. As for the time when he made a lot of money before, this

It is a company secret, so naturally it cannot be disclosed to the citizenry. Citizens only need to know that the United Company is losing money now, and making money before has nothing to do with them.

"It's great to have a country without state-owned enterprises, so there's no comparison." From New York to Chicago, and then from Chicago, Sheffield was in high spirits. He was still thinking about whether there was a second Panama Canal that he could replicate, but it was a pity.

Really no more.

“In the past decade, the world has experienced periodic crises that have altered the social equilibrium. The source of power that determines the balance of power has shifted from Europe to the United States…Applied science is the only way to achieve American supremacy…

… In economics and energy, good American companies are unmatched in their management.”

Arriving at Sheffield in Arlington, he held the Boston Globe newspaper in his hand. The writer of the content was Brewster Adams, a core figure of the Boston Consortium.

"Manifest Destiny!" Sheffield muttered as he walked into Arlington Manor. Adams should give a speech on the territory of the Southern Democratic Party. This militant theory is really indistinguishable from the atmosphere of foreign worship in the northern states. Many northern newspapers

, today it is Manifest Destiny, the American Century, tomorrow it will be Paris, the fashion capital, Europe is the center of the world, it has no position at all.

When she learned that her master was back, Anne rushed into Sheffield's arms with a gust of fragrance. The servants on one side turned a blind eye and did what they should do. Then Anne let go and walked around in front of Sheffield and asked with a smile.

He asked, "Does it look good?"

With a loose long skirt and a small hat on her head, Anne appeared in traditional French women's clothing, which was very stunning.

"It looks good!" Sheffield commented, seemingly seriously, "This outfit mainly depends on who is wearing it, and it looks particularly beautiful on you! But as for others, I still have reservations."

"You know how to say something nice!" Anne took Sheffield's hand and walked towards the manor.

Misunderstood! Really not! Sheffield is not the kind of person who lies. Regarding the traditional costumes of all countries in the world, no matter which ethnic group these clothes belong to, the slave owner has a neutral say. No ethnic group’s clothing is better than other ethnic groups, and traditional clothing is

They are mainly loose-fitting, so traditional clothing has particularly high demands on a person.

Modern clothes have corrected many of the shortcomings of traditional clothes. Most people are not that ugly when wearing modern clothes. But most people cannot wear traditional clothes, but these people are a little unconscious and don't know their own

My figure and appearance are embarrassing for the clothes I'm wearing, and I have no self-awareness about myself and think I'm beautiful.

"How long are you going to stay at home this time?" Annie came in holding a pile of documents, like a student who has finished his homework and is waiting for the teacher to check it.

But Sheffield had no interest in this at all. He held Anne, who was wearing traditional French clothes, up and down his hands, causing a burst of protests, "Why do you keep thinking about this kind of thing? Such a big boss, don't tire yourself out."

"I'm afraid you'll be empty. Don't worry about these small things in the company. Let's take care of the business first, which is more important than anything else." Sheffield ignored it and carried forward the spirit of hard work. "I'm only in my twenties, I can withstand it."

How can a slave owner leave a woman in emptiness for a long time? This is a crime!

After giving the young man enough private space, Annabel called the heir over and asked a series of questions about the Panama Canal. Finally, she revealed her anger, "DuPont has survived for so long."

The DuPont family has become Lafayette's obsession, and no one can do anything about it! Sheffield said cautiously, "The main thing is that things happen one after another, and the DuPont company is supported by Morgan and his sons, and even General Electric

The DuPont family holds shares, so this matter is difficult to handle. If I want to completely defeat DuPont, relying solely on the current price war is not enough, but if I want to defeat the Morgans together, I need to think again.

.”

"Just do it if you think about it!" Annabel sighed sadly, "I know it's not easy. If it were easy, it wouldn't be your turn. I could avenge my husband. As for your father who has no sense of responsibility.

Don’t mention it as your heir, he’d better stay in Paris forever and never come back.”

"If I have a way, I will definitely take action!" Sheffield solemnly promised that all the treatment he is receiving now is not in vain. Since he is enjoying his current life, he must give an explanation to Lafayette.

Is there a war that can be exploited? Sheffield walked out of the room and was stunned. Can the Russo-Japanese War be exploited? DuPont's business is largely based on arms, and bankers like Morgan always make war fortunes.

.

"It's time to talk to Mrs. Sato, why don't you leave in Austin?" Sheffield put his hands in his trouser pockets and whistled.

After the Boer War, Britain quickly established an Anglo-Japanese alliance with Japan. The main contents were: in response to Russia's expansion, both sides recognized the independence of China and Korea. If the interests of both sides in China and Korea were invaded by other countries or caused by internal unrest,

In the event of losses, either party may take necessary measures; if one of the contracting states is at war with other states, the other party shall strictly maintain neutrality; if one of the allied states is at war with two or more other states, the other party shall provide

Military assistance.

As for the Qing Dynasty! From the history of the establishment of this dynasty, Sheffield can see that its military strength can be described in one sentence: it is invincible, but it cannot create miracles.

It can be said that from the establishment of the Qing Dynasty until it met the British, it can be said that it never suffered a big loss when it launched a war. When it started a war with opponents of the same level, it was always modest. According to the historical documents left behind, before they encountered the British, the Qing army suffered a lot.

The biggest defeat was the disastrous defeat by Zhungeer in Qinghai and Tongbo. In this disastrous defeat, the Eight Banners Army lost 7,000 people. It was the Eight Banners Army's biggest defeat since Nurhaci.

Before 1840, I couldn’t find any similar examples of battles! However, starting from 1840, the Qing army basically never won. All they encountered were countries like Britain and France, and they lost every time.

So this dynasty is more stable than the Han and Tang Dynasties even if it encounters enemies with a similar social structure to its own. When it encounters the armies of modern countries like Britain and France, there is no possibility of creating miracles.

Since the Sino-Japanese War, Japan and Imperial Russia have begun to sharpen their knives. If Morgan and Dupont can be included, Sheffield will laugh out loud in his dreams. Because of the Russo-Japanese War, Imperial Russia did not lose a penny. After Japan won, the country has been in debt.

, which made the British and American banks that lent money to Japan miserable and had no money to repay them.

Lafayette attaches great importance to the existence of DuPont! The heirs should also show some sincerity. The Russo-Japanese War is an opportunity that cannot be missed. Before the arrival of the New Year, the federal government officially announced to the outside world that the Panama Canal and Gatun Lake Dam

The investigation results of the dam collapse determined that it was blown up by anti-American forces, causing tens of millions of losses to famous American companies. Since the Panamanian government cannot regularize this money, the federal government must take certain measures.
