Chapter four hundred and sixteen lightly loaded into battle
The so-called losses were nothing more than a small amount of money to the United Company. Of course, in front of Alice Roosevelt, the slave owner had to show that he had been severely hit, but he was strong in enduring the grief.
It is not difficult to pretend to be strong, not to mention that he is already very strong now and is not pretending. The Houston Shipyard announced that this accident was just an isolated incident, and there is currently no sign that there is a problem with its own structure.
This obviously cover-up implicit wording was naturally met with numerous criticisms. The New Orleans Morning News faithfully implemented the policy of the boss behind the scenes, taking the lead in blaming the Houston Shipyard, and inciting public opinion to fight with each other with superb skills. Soon,
This has caused problems for many shipyards, who have said that aircraft carriers are not yet mature, and submarine accidents are even more worrying.
Shipbuilding competition should proceed step by step to accumulate technical strength. We should not try to use some gimmicks to deceive the federal government. The lives of naval officers and soldiers are very precious. We should not be satisfied with such gimmicks.
For a time, the Houston Shipyard, as well as aircraft carriers and submarines, were regarded as heretics by major shipyards. They must be excluded from mainstream naval thinking. The next day, the person in charge of the Houston Shipyard faced this ostracism from his peers and expressed:
The expectations, investment and manufacturing of new warships will never waver.
This stubborn behavior only aroused dissatisfaction among the major shipyards. They believed that this young man in the industry was too dishonest and refused to admit even if he was wrong, so the criticism became more and more fierce.
This is the first time that a slave owner has used his own media to scold himself, making his shipyard feel isolated and helpless. This purpose is naturally to gain popularity. He does not believe that no one in the country is interested in submarines and aircraft carriers. It just so happens that this time
The public opinion in the province has come to us one by one. If anyone sees this dispute over the direction of shipbuilding, they will definitely come to us.
Just like the talents in household appliances, didn't they hear that Sheffield was willing to support emerging industries and took the initiative to join them?
Because of the controversy surrounding the submarine explosion, even Alice Roosevelt did not expect it to be so big. When she saw the criticism of the Houston Shipyard in the newspapers, she said with some concern, "Now we should downplay the impact."
"It's useless. What these shipyards are crowding out is not the Houston Shipyard, but the parent company behind the shipyard, which is my United Company! Shipbuilding is just a business of the United Company, and it is not worth worrying about these shipyards with strong technology." Sheffield shrugged.
He shrugged and said, "They are afraid that the United Company will use its huge size to poach people to update equipment and eventually defeat them. So they took advantage of this submarine explosion to seize the opportunity to spread rumors."
"In order to compete, we really use all kinds of tricks. If we seize an accident, there will be no end." When Alice Roosevelt heard this, she sounded a bit like the enemy. She felt that these shipyards were going too far by seizing on the accident.
"It's nothing, the main reason is that they are afraid of me." Sheffield said that it was just a trivial matter, but in the eyes of Alice Roosevelt, this was just enjoying the hardship. "I will send someone to secretly send you back. As for the Navy Department,
For the rest of you, don’t worry, it’s the easiest thing to bribe someone.”
Based on the current attitude of the Department of the Navy and major shipyards, slave owners can basically conclude that aircraft carriers and submarines will definitely have been in the shadows in recent years at least, so they will be studied secretly by the Houston Shipyard. No other opponents will take it to heart.
, in his opinion, it is very cost-effective to exchange the loss of the Houston Shipyard in a short period of time for long-term strength.
After all, as a people of a republic, one of the basic elements is not to be anxious and to understand long-term operations. If you don’t even understand long-term operations, it means you have not learned history well. Chinese history does not prove how powerful this civilization is, but that many other powerful civilizations have failed.
It's over, but I'm still here.
Those who are stronger than me are not as old as me, and those who are older than me are not as strong as me. As long as time continues to pass, how do you know that I am not immortal?
The day before leaving, Alice Roosevelt and Sheffield fell into madness. The first daughter, who felt guilty, used all means to please this man. Sheffield almost felt the arrival of the three major illusions in life. She likes me.
?
"Be safe on the road. If you want to go abroad, remember to bring the bodyguard I prepared." He reached out and pinched Alice Roosevelt's earlobe. Seeing that the train was about to leave, Sheffield waved his hand and watched Alice Roosevelt get on the train.
The slave owners are now free. It is not so easy to always pretend to have suffered a major blow in life. The loss of a submarine is not big. Even if the Houston Shipyard is criticized, it will be fine. The Houston Shipyard is not a listed company, so there is no need to worry about the stock.
It's good to go down and not go public. You can do whatever you want.
Of course, there are advantages to being listed on the market, that is, it is very easy to cash out. If you wave the sickle to cut leeks, isn't it delicious?
The slave owner, not at all affected, returned to New Orleans, assuring the Houston shipyard employees that they would continue to invest in their support and one day prove the other shipyards wrong.
A ray of sunlight shone into the bedroom in the early morning, and Sheffield was still sleeping like a dead pig. The phone rang at this time, without any movement, a lotus-white arm stretched out from under the quilt, and Natalia's eyes were half-open.
Guan picked up the phone and said feebly, "Who are you looking for?"
"Natalia? Pass the phone to William." Anne on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief and closed the phone book that recorded all slave owners' residences in major cities. She no longer had to continue trying to call one by one.
"What's going on, madam?" Sheffield opened his eyes and watched with his own eyes as Natalia turned over without a trace, her perfect scenery revealed before her eyes, and she changed places with him.
"The Ministry of Justice has determined the location and time of the trial. Let me tell you." Annie sighed quietly, "The city of the temporary court is South Dakota. The Ministry of Justice has given half a month to respond."
"South Dakota is an agricultural state, so why worry about it!" Sheffield said nonchalantly, "There are two trust members there. The Ministry of Justice let me do it and chose such a place. Madam, don't worry, we are sure
Win, if you doubt this, go to my study in Arlington and find a file and you will understand. The federal government will have many things to ask of me in the future. You don’t think that your husband is okay.
The world is spinning around, you are really just playing with other women and not doing anything serious, right?"
"I know you are thinking far ahead. Isn't this also a worry?" Annie said softly and coyly, "I am mainly worried about your bad mood due to the recent events in the shipyard."
The incident at the shipyard was caused by your husband and I myself! Sheffield raised his eyebrows, but did not say it. Instead, he said, "In a normal lawsuit, the Ministry of Justice cannot win against me, let alone that I have buried countless nails.
Time made Knox understand that although they are both trusts, agriculture and industry are also different, and they are not the same thing."
Strength in numbers is an obvious advantage. All agricultural and animal husbandry products require land. Even if he is arrogant, Sheffield will not think that the land output in his own hands is enough to supply the market. So he must
Join other large farmers. This farmer does not have to be in the south. As long as he has enough land, there is no restriction on joining the trust.
The reason for relaxing the standards is that it is difficult for the agriculture and animal husbandry industry to compete with the railway system, and they must bring in enough large farmers to barely maintain the balance. This resulted in the formation of these two huge trusts.
"Leave it to Pat to handle it. Nothing will happen. By the way, take out all the funds from various industries and realize as much cash as possible. Don't touch the listed industries yet. I'll take a look first." Sheffield wanted to hang up.
After picking up the phone, he temporarily changed his words and said, "This is what we have been doing all along. The last fluctuation did not hurt our muscles and bones, but this time it will be an excellent opportunity for United Bank to gain a foothold. For many people, the economic crisis is completely
Predictably, the closer we get to a problem, the more information citizens receive will be wrong, and this is our opportunity."
What Sheffield said was the truth. Morgan was a man who was very good at taking advantage of the economic crisis. The railway system and the steel industry were all the fruits.
However, slave owners remember that the coming economic crisis is mainly concentrated in the financial industry. The growth of the stock market in the past two years has clearly exceeded the growth of real industries. With the rise of many emerging industries, this round of upsurge can be expected to last for a longer period.
. However, entrepreneurial speculation was rampant, causing this round of ups and downs. In the United States, during this period, a large number of individual businesses were transformed into joint-stock companies, issuing watered-down stocks and making huge profits from them. A large amount of European capital financed entrepreneurial speculation by providing short-term credit.
.
The main reason for the economic crisis is not that real companies like us are ineffective, but that the financial industry is too speculative. We have worked so hard in industry, but we still cannot keep up with the speculators' speculation in the stock market.
In fact, it was the U.S. Steel Company merged by Morgan that started this trend. The reason why the financial industry always wants to penetrate into the real industry is to find a strong host and use this industry as the basis for the development of the financial industry. Thirty
Morgan chose railroads two years ago, and steel five years ago.
However, half of the results of the steel industry were intercepted by Standard Oil and United Company, and the financial industry was still booming. This eventually led to an economic crisis that mainly affected the banking industry. According to time, there are still two years to break out, but this kind of
Things are uncertain, and any opportunity may cause an outbreak.
So Sheffield began draining United's funds to see if they could make a fortune.
