The medical industry developed by the Rockefeller family now is modern medicine, which is what people think of as Western medicine. As for those private pharmacists, they can be understood as the traditional Chinese medicine in the United States. They also promote a cure for all diseases and use the same vocabulary as a little and an appropriate amount.

On a more advanced level, the four elements of ancient Greece supported the appearance. In Sheffield's eyes, it would be too easy for little Rockefeller to kill these folk pharmacists.

"I'll help you get the copyright law, and you'll help me get rid of the private pharmacists, and we'll work together to reshape the order of both industries at the same time." Rockefeller Jr. suggested politely, "Actually, I have a little advantage."

“I can’t say who is taking advantage, I can only say that it is very difficult.” Sheffield is not as optimistic as Rockefeller Jr. The reason why these private pharmacists can exist for a long time is that many citizens cannot afford modern medicine.

"In the early battles, the Rockefeller family should show some kindness." Sheffield said in a tone of "I urge you to be kind," "You must show some sincerity, and you should also let the citizens of the United States enjoy the treatment of foreigners.

, can’t you give some kerosene lamps to citizens? We don’t need them now, we are in the age of electricity. What I mean is that by giving out kerosene lamps, we can give some benefits to the citizens of the country.”

"Just like you, sell the product very cheaply." Little Rockefeller nodded. He also knew that in the early battle, he should try to cover the company's drugs as widely as possible.

"Don't slander me. I sell my products very cheaply, but I never use cheapness as a selling point. There is no salesperson in United Company who uses cheap words to attract buyers." Sheffield shook his head vigorously and denied the small price.

Rockefeller said that his products were very cheap, "A person who cannot consume is worse than a dog in my eyes."

The principle of "you get what you pay for" exists. Similarly, companies must put profits first, otherwise they will be merged if their development slows down. The market only belongs to those companies that survive to the end. Without profits, what kind of job is it for a joint company?

To the end?

There is no R&D without profit. Without R&D, it is just a comprador. If the Republic is an assembly company, why should the United States fight a trade war? Does an assembly factory have the qualifications for the United States to target it?

Sheffield does not raise prices, it is just to maintain a monopoly for as long as possible so that other competitors cannot survive. It is not at all to benefit the working people.

If the monopoly position is not guaranteed at all, then the technology accumulated during the monopoly period can be used for research and development. The proposal made by Rockefeller Jr. is also in the hope of mutual cooperation.

"Actually, this matter can be divided into two steps. You also know the level of traditional private pharmacists. In the past, a bloodletting method directly killed the president, and there were definitely many patients who died in their hands. These private pharmacists themselves are not very big.

But practicing medicine alone has no power to protect them." Sheffield lowered his voice and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"I don't understand!" Rockefeller shook his head blankly, indicating that he didn't know what the slave owner meant.

"What William means is that unlike the hospital at home, these private pharmacists have no protective power. If the family members of the deceased patients make a fuss, it will be a big selling point in the newspaper." Edith Rockefeller couldn't stand it anymore.

I had to remind my brother.

Bang! Sheffield snapped his fingers and said, "Yes, your Rockefeller family's medical industry is protected by powerful forces. I have asked you this question before. You said that family members of patients who dare to cause trouble will be taken to the police department.

Let’s go. But these private pharmacists don’t have this kind of protection. Once the patient’s family members get into trouble, trouble can easily happen.”

If it were in the past, Sheffield would not have come up with such an idea, but after getting married, he has been sublimated. He deeply feels his historical mission and has a deeper self-identity as a slave owner, so he naturally has no scruples in doing things.

"There is no contradiction. You can create contradictions. As long as you give enough money, you can do anything. Human life also has a price. If you give enough money, you can kill people. Otherwise, what is the use of military spending? It is prepared to kill people at any time.

"Expense? Don't be too stingy on this issue." Sheffield paused and continued, "You caused several medical disputes. I asked the newspapers to follow up on the reports, and together with these folk pharmacists of traditional medicine, they dug into the ground and thoroughly investigated them.

The refutation of the four-element theory, along with the deaths and injuries, has put these bastards of traditional medicine out of work.”

"I only know that the price of agricultural products should increase this year." Young Rockefeller forced out a smile and put the medical topic on hold for the time being. He had already agreed to the matter.

"Smart!" Sheffield agreed with Rockefeller Jr.'s words, because in April, the cold air from the Arctic Ocean moved south again, caring for the northern states during planting.

At this time, the United Company is preparing to contact its allies and raise prices. Moreover, today is different from the past. Sheffield leads a group of southern farmers to the west and has already established a foundation in the Midwest. It has a greater say in the field of agricultural products.

As farmers from the central and western regions join in, the number of vested interests increases, and the price will naturally rise even higher than in previous years when the cold air moved southward.

It is impossible not to raise prices. The slave owners wish for the death of Mr. Yang, saying that economic prosperity and inflation are natural.

"It's not good in New York. Just start in Chicago. I'll watch." Edith Rockefeller named the location of the action. New York is the headquarters of the Rockefeller family, while in the South it will probably not attract the attention of the majority of the population in the North.

, this choice in Chicago is the best decision.

"It's a pity. If there was a big plague, we wouldn't have to go to such trouble." Sheffield said with some pity.

"Don't talk like that. If there is a plague, we can't cure it." Edith Rockefeller rolled her eyes at the slave owner. No matter how bad the relationship between the Yankees and Dixie people was, she couldn't say that. The slave owner always

Don't fart well.

The Rockefeller siblings stayed at Arlington Manor for half a month, and Edith Rockefeller reluctantly left here at the urging of the younger Rockefeller.

"This is the plan submitted by the Houston Shipyard. What interests me is that the shipyard wants to build a few submarines and get orders from the federal navy." Annie poked her chin with a pen, looking at the idle people.

slave owner.

Huh? Sheffield, who has initially accepted the life of a lion, has rarely become serious these days and muttered, "Good idea, the United Company's shipyard is not without talents. Just when we are sending the old man back to Paris, we will go to the Houston Shipyard

Take a look."

Submarines, like airplanes, were the first time the United States made them shine. Bushnell built his first submarine as a tool for underwater blasting, hoping to use it to blow up the British warships blockading New York Harbor. This

This egg-shaped submarine has a very precise name, called "Turtle". It is made of wood, stands upright and floats in the water. The boat can accommodate a person and a confusing machine that can drive the submarine underwater.

Moving machinery.

The first submarine in the world to sink an enemy ship in battle was the USS Henry of the Confederate States of America. It achieved this feat near the end of the American Civil War. At that time, Mo, Alabama

Bill's Henry raised funds to build a submarine, hoping to break the Northern Union's blockade of the South. The submarine was named "Forerunner" and was 34 feet long. It was operated by three people with a hand-crank propeller.

The current shipbuilding technology cannot be caught up by the United Company in a short time, but it is possible to find another way. For things like submarines that are not taken seriously, everyone starts in the same way, so the United Company will naturally not fall behind.

"But it seems that from President Roosevelt's appeal, there is no place for such a submarine. Isn't the Grand Fleet what Mr. President wants?" Anne still felt that there was some risk, and the federal government might not buy it.

"Let's talk about manufacturing first!" Sheffield shook his head. This is a life-saving thing and deserves to be developed. "I miss my old friends Thyssen Associates."

In the field of submarines, the Germans have great talent. This talent is forced out by the world's largest fleet right in front of them. If they can cooperate with the Germans, many detours will be reduced.

As for whether the federal government buys it, Sheffield will support it even if it doesn't. This kind of technical reserve must be made.

"Germans? Huh!" Anne's little temper broke out, but she also knew that France was indeed inferior to Germany in some aspects of armaments, but submarines were not. "Ask your father to return to Paris and ask, there are more talents like France."

.”

Is that so? Sheffield was confused by his wife's vow. He remembered that the German submarines should be more powerful. But when he saw Anne's persistence and lacked confidence, he decided to investigate.

"France should indeed be the strongest in Europe's submarine technology now!" Harry Sheffield said as he packed his things, "However, Germany is indeed very enthusiastic about submarines. The British are the least enthusiastic about submarines, because the British

The navy is the strongest."

There are Americans too! Sheffield, who was leaning against the door frame, added in his mind that he was sure that the current atmosphere in the Navy Department of the United States was exactly the same as that of the British Empire. They were dismissive of such underwater submersibles and considered them of little use.

"William, why are you suddenly interested in this kind of thing?" After Harry Sheffield finished answering, he suddenly asked.

"I don't have anything powerful in my hand, and I always feel that the Yankees will rob me." Sheffield said meaningfully, "If one day, I can regain the position I had before the Civil War from the Yankees, will they come back again?
