Chapter 375 The Conscience of the Rich
Due to the outbreak of water pollution in Chicago, Chicago suddenly became the focus of the United States. Albert, the editor-in-chief of the Chicago Daily Times, who once again made a splash, has undoubtedly established an image of not fearing power and speaking out for justice.
But the real winner will only be seen a few years later. Ten days later, in the early morning, a train entered the Chicago train station. First, an eye-catching woman got off, with a camera hanging around her fair neck, full of excitement.
The young woman was full of vigor, but after stepping out of the train, her pretty eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she said with some dissatisfaction, "The air is so bad!"
"Even if it's true, you can't tell it. Industrial cities are like this. You can't smell it in other places if you want to!" Sheffield took a deep breath of the air of imperialism and said with satisfaction. If nothing else,
It shouldn't be so serious in New Orleans in the future, but the air won't be very good either.
The slave owner had just attended the ceremony of Ford's 3 millionth car rolling off the production line. Then he got on the car non-stop and came to Chicago, making a special trip to show his socially responsible side. Because the progress of things has been beyond expectations.
, some people are adding fuel to the flames and attracting public opinion.
At this time, we could no longer continue to stand up in Oak Manor. Rockefeller Jr. used manpower and material resources to solve the problem of Chicago doctors, and Morgan Jr. launched two new insurance models. Chicago has become the place that citizens care about most, and slave owners can only leave.
Come and enjoy the traffic.
Holding Natalia's hand, Sheffield went directly to Edith Rockefeller's villa, wanting to know what the situation was like. The richest woman did not cause trouble to the slave owner, and welcomed Natalia's arrival.
, without asking why he brought this vixen here with him.
"Recently, it seems that some newspapers in New York are quarreling with newspapers in New Orleans. Why do you have time to come to Chicago?" Holding the coffee and touching it with her lips, Edith Rockefeller pushed the coffee in front of Sheffield and said, "The temperature
just."
"Let's put it bluntly, some newspapers in New Orleans are indeed benchmarking against New York, but this is not my instruction. I know how powerful New York is. New Orleans is indeed overestimating its capabilities against New York. But these
The newspaper is not for New Yorkers to read, but to enhance the self-confidence of locals near New Orleans." Sheffield shrugged, saying that he knew about it, but did not stop it.
"It can be considered that you have a clear self-understanding." Edith Rockefeller gave what she believed to be a very pertinent evaluation.
"If you don't want to find a strong benchmark, how about looking for Chicago? The key point is that Chicago is not much better than New Orleans. Chicago has a population of over one million, and New Orleans has a population of over 800,000. This is the same level." Sheffield was not beaten by women.
The richest man's condescending attitude was so exasperating that he understood that the reality was even crueler.
As for the gap between New Orleans and New York, there are no similar examples in the Republic. There are examples in Japan and South Korea, such as Seoul and Busan, Tokyo and Osaka. In real comparison, it is actually far worse than the examples in Japan and South Korea. Let’s not talk about New York a hundred years later.
With London as the only world super city, even Tokyo, which is supported by the whole of Japan, is only on the front line.
Regardless of future development trends, we can see that New York is already invincible. The strength of New York is that whether it is increasing domestic demand or international import and export, New York's status will not be shaken. New York's geographical location is good, and its surrounding areas
It is also the Great Lakes Industrial City Group with the strongest coal and iron resources in the United States.
This is equivalent to keeping the location of the Magic City unchanged, and placing the coal and iron reserves in the provinces surrounding the Imperial Capital in the provinces surrounding the Magic Capital.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. We must give the citizens of New Orleans some hope. Without a population, how can we develop?" Sheffield felt a little discouraged. The monster combination of New York and the Great Lakes industrial city cluster would not be able to reach the West Coast if it were not included.
Legal uniform.
"Okay, forget it, what are you doing in Chicago? It's really unexpected." Edith Rockefeller packed Sheffield and Natalia's coffee, in full housewife style.
"Morgan's insurance company has been promoting new insurance recently. Your brother is taking advantage of Chicago's pollution to establish a medical order. He even made a fuss about using his contacts to call on famous doctors from all over the world to come to Chicago for a meeting. I always want to gain some popularity.
Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing to be alone without me." Sheffield also had a look on his face that he didn't want to come, but with good things ahead of him, he absolutely couldn't miss such an opportunity to gain favor.
Furthermore, it cannot be said that the incident in Chicago had nothing to do with him. At least he paid real money and ordered a trainload of aspirin through the Evelyn Charitable Foundation to donate. Although these aspirins were also produced by United Company
, to be precise, it is OEM, but the word "OEM" has too strong a comprador tone, and slave owners don't like it.
United Company has a patent agreement with Germany's Bayer Company, so it can produce aspirin, Bayer's flagship product, domestically. Aspirin has a wide range of applications, including the treatment of colds, fever, joint pain, rheumatism, etc. It can also inhibit platelet aggregation, thereby preventing
The formation of thrombus, improvement of microcirculation, etc. Because of its small side effects and wide range of applications, aspirin has been given the title of miracle drug.
According to the patent agreement with Bayer, the joint company helps Bayer establish a market to promote aspirin in exchange for selling aspirin in the United States of America without paying royalties.
It is very logical that the funds from the Evelyn Charitable Foundation became drugs produced by Sheffield's own industrial companies.
It was a good thing not to mention this matter. Edith Rockefeller's dissatisfaction suddenly rose when he mentioned it, and he accused, "You helped Bayer sell drugs, which had an impact on the Rockefeller family's pharmaceutical industry."
"It's not that serious. This is all protected by patent law." Sheffield waved his hand. He knew that Edith Rockefeller's words were true. In the matter of aspirin alone, the United Company did play a comprador role.
The matter came to an end. When no one else was around, Natalia whispered, "Edith is so fierce."
"I always do things according to the rules of a businessman. She can't blame me for this. Who makes their medical laboratory far worse than Bayer." Sheffield shrugged, "It's too late, people will just
Remember the first one, unless the Rockefeller Medical Laboratory looks to ancient Egyptian texts for evidence."
The prototype of aspirin is extracted from willow bark. There are records on ancient Sumerian clay tablets that willow leaves were used to treat arthritis. The Chinese medicine classic "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic" records that the roots, bark, branches and leaves of willow can be used as medicine.
, it has the effects of eliminating phlegm and improving eyesight, clearing away heat and detoxification, diuresis and preventing wind. External application can cure toothache. Even the oldest medical document in ancient Egypt, the Ebers Papyrus, records that the Egyptians had used it at least more than 2,000 BC.
Know about the pain-relieving properties of dried willow leaves.
"These ancient people are also very powerful!" Natalia seemed to be sighing at the brilliance of many civilizations.
"The really powerful company is Bayer. It's the Germans who have taken a crucial step. No matter how good things are, they must keep pace with the times." Sheffield stretched. He came here mainly because he wanted to see what he was doing.
The World Medical Conference held in Chicago. The Rockefeller family invests in the medical industry all over the world. Whether it is powerful or not will be known from this conference.
Donating a trainload of aspirin had an immediate effect in Chicago. The Chicago Daily Times expressed its gratitude to Sheffield for his generous act, saying that the slave owner's act represented the conscience of the businessmen of the United States.
Of course, this kind of flattery cannot be directed at slave owners alone. The new insurance launched by Morgan Jr., the doctors from the hospitals assigned by Rockefeller Jr., and the news that the World Medical Congress will be held in Chicago also occupy important pages. Three people
The photos, along with the companies they represent, appeared in the Chicago Daily Times.
This report made the somewhat chaotic Chicago feel the care from the rich class. From the newspaper, they knew that these three rich people were all real rich people. Compared with some local rich people, these three people are the conscience of businessmen.
.
How could the simple citizens of Chicago know that only Rockefeller Jr. was really enthusiastic about this incident and took advantage of this incident to establish medical order? As for Sheffield, he was just playing a trick of switching his left hand to his right hand. As for the other one, he was just here.
Making money.
With the investment of Rockefeller Jr., and the fact that Chicago itself is the headquarters of the National Medical Association, the matter was quickly brought under control. The pollution itself did not have the ability to paralyze a city with a population of one million. Previously, newspapers and media were just selling panic. It scared Chicago.
People make irrational actions, and their mentality collapses due to the slightest problem.
It was not until today that Little Rockefeller came belatedly and brought a message, "Little Morgan found me and joined me in sponsoring the opening of the World Medical Congress."
"I will pay as much as he pays!" Sheffield said without thinking. In such a matter of gaining fame, one must be the first to charge forward. However, he still asked, "How many doctors have you summoned to come to Chicago?"
"As long as there are countries with the Rockefeller family's medical investment, all! Many famous doctors in Europe, Asia, and America are included in the invitation." Young Rockefeller raised his head slightly and said, "This time I will establish a medical order for the world.
Even if you don’t succeed right away, you still have to dream.”
