As for what California citizens think of the Congress in Washington, due to the current situation in California, it is impossible for Sheffield to conduct follow-up sampling as usual. Now being able to ensure the normal circulation of the Los Angeles Times is a great achievement.

As for Los Angeles Mayor Harder, he has begun to call on companies to start work and rely on his own strength to support the refugees in San Francisco.

If you want to know the specific situation in San Francisco, it is impossible to rely on wireless telegraphy alone. However, this problem was solved immediately. As the eyes of the slave owner, Jesla rushed back from San Francisco after learning that the boss had arrived in Los Angeles.

, some things still need to be discussed face to face.

"How serious is the situation in San Francisco? Have any industries recovered?" Sheffield asked very generally. The subtext was don't tell me how many people you killed on my behalf. This has never happened. They were all civil conflicts.

.

"Uh?" Jesla didn't answer the question for a moment. She thought for a moment and said, "The prostitution industry has resumed!"

"Also, it's more important." Sheffield laughed instantly. The Great West is not the territory of the Yankees. The New England region in the northeastern states is very disgusted with this kind of industry that is not on the table.

, there is a private flesh and blood business, but if we say it is an industry, it definitely cannot be called one.

But after crossing the Mississippi River, especially to the states along the Pacific coast, it's another story. Citizens in the Great West are not as particular as people in metropolitan New York. Those who dare to come to the West to open up are themselves with their heads in their pants.

On the belt, for ordinary people, as long as it is not illegal, it means it is a legal industry. For the braver pioneers, they can accumulate the first pot of gold by specifically choosing industries that are not allowed by law.

In the western states, prostitution only needs to be approved by the police department, which is not as strict as in the northeastern states.

From the mouths of their top thugs, the slave owners already knew that San Francisco had been severely damaged due to earthquakes and arson, the suburbs were already crowded with victims, and people from the Union Company were distributing tents and food.

"If you start from the city center? Not even half of the city?" Sheffield asked after hearing this, "San Francisco Shipyard?"

"I ordered the time bomb to be set. When I entered, many factory buildings had collapsed and no workers were seen. The dry dock was taken care of by me, but there were no warships in the shipyard. The order from the San Francisco Shipyard had been completed, and the new ship had not been started yet." Jie

Silla explained the happenings in the San Francisco Shipyard one by one.

"Blowing up the dry dock, good, very good." Sheffield praised without hesitation, "I should have a good talk with Brother Frege. I believe our meeting will be the same as the meeting with Hearst."

smoothly."

The slave owners only knew that the San Francisco Shipyard was famous for a time, but they did not know who it belonged to in history. They also did not know how many owners they had. Just like many companies were controlled by many people, who knew who would end up with this wealth.

In hand? The founders of Coca-Cola are dead.

No matter who he is facing, Sheffield does not want to know who the shipyard belongs to now. He only hopes that the shipyard will belong to him in the future.

Coincidentally, the Frege brothers quickly took the risk of aftershocks after the earthquake and ran all the way from San Francisco to Los Angeles, which was relatively calm. They obviously knew the national conditions of the United States very well and knew that as long as something unexpected happened, there would definitely be riots.

, this is a smart person.

Not having to search hard is also good news. People prepared the fleet, and Sheffield appeared in the Frege brothers' estate in Los Angeles. The low prices in the Great West were not high, especially for rich people. Slave owners were not at all

There was no surprise. On the contrary, the Frege brothers were very surprised by his arrival.

In terms of total assets, these brothers cannot be compared with slave owners. Shipbuilding is just a not very strong industry in the hands of slave owners, and this is the entire net worth of these brothers. And even if it is shipbuilding, the Houston Shipyard

The profit also exceeds that of the San Francisco Shipyard, because many southern companies and citizens pay the bill. As long as military ships are not mentioned, it can still be compared.

"I have never met before, but I have participated in your shipyard. I know that the San Francisco Shipyard collapsed due to the earthquake and the dry dock was seriously damaged. Let me just tell you that I can buy most of the shipyard shares and help you.

To get through the crisis, I only need to hold a relative shareholding and will not seek to kick you out. I believe this proposal is quite reasonable." As soon as they met, Sheffield didn't even sit up and explained his purpose to the two brothers.

Except for replacing the time bomb with an earthquake, it is almost always the truth.

"This seems to be taking advantage of the situation!" The threat was too obvious. Alfred, the eldest brother of the Frege brothers, had a stern look on his face. No one could stand this behavior. It was a bit too bullying.

"It doesn't have to seem like it, according to the current environment, it just doesn't seem like it," Sheffield nodded, without any intention of cheating. In recent years, as the scale of the United Company has grown larger and larger, he, as a slave owner, has become more and more...

He is becoming more and more honest, and some people are too lazy to even install it. "The shipyard was seriously damaged, and the attitude of the federal government is unclear. It is still unknown whether it will be rebuilt immediately. There is news that the federal government plans to abandon San Francisco."

"Even if San Francisco is not abandoned, with the intensity of this earthquake, it will always take time to heal the pain. This will definitely not be solved in a year and a half. Even if the reconstruction is rapid, I can build my own on the edge of San Francisco

Shipyards, offer higher wages, poach your shipyard workers, use better equipment, and use lower prices to squeeze out your shipyard. Why didn't I do this? I just gave you a chance."

"In its long-term acquisitions, the United Company has rarely kicked out the original legal person from the management team. The Sheffield family believes that helping others is to strengthen themselves, so even if they see a good opportunity, they will not rush to kill it."

At the end, Sheffield almost burst into tears. Is this him? How did he say such shameless words, "To be honest, with the strength of the two of you, it will take me at most a year to close your shipyard."

Time, many industries of the United Company are not very profitable, they are just used to place jobs, so one more shipyard is nothing."

The two brothers looked at the eloquent slave owner, from the analysis of the federal government to the comparison of assets to future development, and they seemed to be very sure of their own opinions. They were so angry that they even spoke out in anger.

Because apart from anger, the two of them had no way to refute, Sheffield's words were just a series of truths, just used to intimidate the two of them.

As the younger brother, Delfrege wanted to curse several times, but when he saw a bunch of human sculptures behind the slave owner and the eyes behind his sunglasses kept falling on him, he finally did not dare to act rashly.

What a bully. The slave owner was so eloquent that he forced the two of them to submit with hard and soft tactics. Other people in the house also came out and saw a group of uninvited guests. They thought they were gangsters who came out to rob during the earthquake and touched them.

Arrive at your own home.

"Is there anyone you can talk to? I'm in a hurry." Sheffield took out his pocket watch, took a look at it, and said impatiently, "If you agree, make a price, and we can talk about it. If you don't agree, just wait until we become neighbors.

, I will definitely open the shipyard next to the San Francisco Shipyard, so that when you go bankrupt, you can still annex some land."

"At least give me a price." Delfrege was agitated by this kind of reprimand and said this.

"I can only promise that I won't lower the price because of the earthquake, but two friends." Sheffield said to the two new friends in a pleasant manner, but Sheffield didn't put on a bad face, "Since we have made an oral agreement, we must do it.

When it comes to accepting acquisitions, I hate people who lie the most. As for the acquisition price, we have professional finance and conduct detailed calculations. The purpose of our joint company is to make each other stronger through mergers and acquisitions. You have to know that Kant, the owner of Coca-Cola

Mr. Le believes that his greatest success in life is being acquired by me. Coincidentally, I think so too."

The main reason for agreeing was largely because the two brothers had their own information channels and knew that order had been restored in San Francisco. This disaster relief team had played a big role.

Considering the current situation of San Francisco's unresolved status as to whether to rebuild or not, Sheffield actually took a risk, but based on his understanding of Roosevelt himself, this risk can be said to be basically non-existent.

If he takes the initiative to offer an olive branch and the Frege brothers don't accept it, this is not a cooperative attitude. Then the slave owners will really prepare to be neighbors with the San Francisco Shipyard.

Another factor why the Frege brothers agreed to be merged with most of their shares was that the orders from the Admiralty had been completed, and no orders had been received during this period. Moreover, the earthquake this time caused so much damage that in the future,

It is still unknown whether the San Francisco shipyard can receive orders.

After the situation stabilizes a bit, the merger contract will be officially announced to the public. Evelin has already sent a telegram to prepare to come back. This matter can be used by Evelin to give advice and improve the train conductor. She will work hard step by step and finally achieve it.

The rich woman in the American dream, her status in Los Angeles’ upper class society.

Also coming with Evelin was Natalia. Knowing that her man would not be able to go back in a short time, Natalia insisted on following her noisily. Only Edith Rockefeller stayed because she had to handle the affairs of Congress.

Edith Manor, New Orleans.
