"This small amount of money is no longer included in the calculation, and it is not worth worrying about." Sheffield shook his head slightly and said to Evelin, "There is nothing unstable. The coastal areas have advantages in trade, and there are no enemies except war.

, the states along the Pacific coast will definitely develop. Of course, whether a country is really strong depends on whether the inland is strong. Normally, you can disrespect the citizens in the inland, but at the critical moment, it is much more reliable than the coast.

"

The honesty attribute of slave owners has become stronger and stronger. What coastal cities fear most is war. Just like during the Spanish-American War, when they heard that the Spanish fleet would land, it scared New Yorkers. Even Spain was afraid. Is there anyone else who is not afraid?

?

Once it is in the war stage, international trade will stagnate. For a big country, the places with resources closest to them will be tilted, but that is another country. The United States is special. The places closest to resources are still around New York, no matter in war or peace.

, New York can always develop. For slave owners, this is a very angry thing.

The federal government does not have the power of a centralized state and cannot replicate the suppression experience of the administrative capital. Therefore, there are rumors among the people that New York is New York and the United States is the United States. These are two worlds.

Without operating well on the Pacific coast, it will be impossible to compete with the New York metropolis based solely on the existing conditions in the South.

"I must stand firm in the west." Sheffield said solemnly, "If the federal government decides to rebuild San Francisco, I will take advantage of this opportunity to bring the strength of the United Company to a higher level."

"Shipbuilding industry?" Evelin said with some confusion, "But the market on the West Coast is not big, so it is quite difficult."

"The world is changing rapidly, and maybe the Navy still needs us." Sheffield changed the topic, "If there are no problems, just sign the contract. The citizens of California are still in shock, especially since the federal government has not yet come up with a resolution. We

Being the first to announce this good news is very exciting."

The official press conference regarding the official acquisition of the San Francisco Shipyard by United Company was held directly in front of the citizens of Los Angeles at this moment of the aftermath of the disaster. Evelyn was dressed very beautifully and appeared at the press conference in a formal suit, carrying a unique

He said with a gentle temperament, "My friend Mr. William is still busy right now. It is up to me, the intermediary, to answer some questions for the reorganization of the two companies."

"Sheffield United Company is a comprehensive company with strong strength and wide range of operations. Our local citizens should be familiar with this company. United Company also operates many businesses in California. It would be too much to start from the beginning.

It’s been a long time. Take this merger and acquisition as an example. The San Francisco Shipyard is an important enterprise in San Francisco, but it was seriously damaged in this earthquake. It can be said that it suffered a lot of damage.”

"It is extremely difficult to recover on your own. It was me who introduced from the middle and communicated between the two companies." Evelin spoke clearly and her good appearance made everyone listen attentively. "

In the end, the United Company took the initiative to seek capital injection to help the San Francisco Shipyard, which was already in trouble. This will be a perfect proof to the outside world that a major earthquake is just a natural disaster. Real large companies will not give up because of natural disasters.

Optimistic forecasts for the development of California, I believe no one thinks that United Company is a small business."

With the instruction of the slave owner, Evelin began to directly hold funerals and celebrations. When the federal government's attitude was unclear, she was the first to step forward and use the merger and acquisition to tell the citizens of Los Angeles and even the entire California that there were countless large companies in the United States, and

No loss of faith in California.

"Although Mr. William was not present, he showed with practical actions that we have good development prospects in California and even the entire West. As for more specific details." Evelin pointed to the two Frege brothers on the right and said, "In addition,

A partner, everyone in San Francisco Shipbuilding will make it clear."

"With the capital injection from a company like United Company, the San Francisco Shipyard will definitely get through the difficulties quickly." Alfred said insincerely, and praised with a forced smile, "Especially not long after the big earthquake.

Time, this attitude is very important to us Californians, but on the contrary, when we needed assistance the most, the federal government did not let us feel warm."

In the last sentence, Alfred definitely meant what he was thinking. Only the federal government can prevent his shipyard from being acquired. However, the federal government is ambiguous about reconstruction, which makes the two brothers feel uncertain and can only reluctantly accept the acquisition. Even now.

The good news was that the contracts had been signed. The good news would only make the two brothers hate the federal government's inefficiency even more.

"The federal government is also under great pressure." Evelin pretended to smooth things over, indicating that Alfrege just made a slip of the tongue. But now that reporters are gathering in California, the subtext is that the federal government has let California down.

Evelyn knew that her man was deeply concerned about the Democratic Party's return to power.

Although this kind of darker method made Evelin feel a little unhappy, as long as the slave owner can be happy, it is not impossible to break the principle once. Maybe it can be used to put pressure on the federal government. Her man said that he would call

All children are fed milk. The example may not be correct, but the principle is the same.

This M&A press conference was highly praised by California newspapers, who believed that at this difficult moment, United Corporation had expressed everything in dollars through its big-arm merger with the shipyard that was damaged by the earthquake. Some pro-Democratic newspapers also began to use strange words.

The rhetoric subconsciously leads to disillusionment with the federal government.

This was the reaction from the outside world, but when Evelin returned to the manor, she still felt that this merger was actually a bit of a loss. Because the naval construction was almost completed now, and there would be no orders for the shipbuilding to be restarted. It was very rare for her man to do this.

A loss-making business, he said, "It's just for the skilled workers and equipment to manufacture 10,000-ton ships, but when the prospects are not good, there is still some loss. We need time to run the shipyard, don't we?"

Evelin felt that when naval construction was coming to an end, Sheffield only started to acquire shipyards at this time. In fact, it was already too late, let alone repairing the damaged shipyards and restoring operations in half a year or a year at most.

It is estimated that the last few orders will not be available.

"Dear, you have to look at the problem from the perspective of development. If you can't catch up this round, you can wait for the next round. You don't have much money, right?" Sheffield looked relaxed, taking advantage of his wealth and billions, "I

There is no shortage of liquidity, so we can definitely afford it.”

"You bad thing!" Evelin looked around and saw that there was no one around. Natalia was still in the room and had not come out. She directly reached out and grabbed the slave owner's handle, showing her silver teeth and said, "You will never make a loss-making business.

"

"Of course, but I won't say anything, because it would be embarrassing if the prediction is inaccurate. It's like trying not to show up in front of reporters, because you talk too much. Although there are many fools, there are also many smart people.

, you won’t always be deceived.” Sheffield raised his eyebrows, Jack Ma’s example of not being able to keep his mouth shut was vividly in his mind, and he would inevitably beat himself up if he always boasted.

Seeing Evelin holding on to the handle and not letting go, Sheffield could only whisper, "Okay, I think the naval construction is not finished yet, so don't tell me, otherwise the prediction will not be correct, how bad it is."

As a senior keyboard warrior, Sheffield's innermost BB party nature is rarely revealed. Although he knows that heretics like aircraft carriers and submarines will eventually win. But with its own existence, the battleship Yamato is definitely not the number one.

As far as the current naval construction of the United States is concerned, most people think that it is enough, but Sheffield knows that the current seemingly powerful naval fleet will soon be eliminated.

The Great White Fleet, which is about to enter the stage of history, is the United States flexing its muscles to powerful countries and wielding the stick of diplomacy in a special way. Especially Japan, which is aggressive in the Pacific, the arrival of this ocean-going fleet is like a pot of

The cold water poured on the Japanese from their victory in the Russo-Japanese War. From then on, the Japanese's attitude towards the Americans took a 180-degree turn.

But the British Dreadnought-class battleships have already been launched, and the ensuing crushing will make the former Dreadnought-class battleships of the United States very embarrassed, because the current naval fleet of the United States is actually very new, most of them are less than ten years old, so

The modification of the new warships was a bit fussy, but if it was not modified, it would appear to be backward. After the Great White Fleet arrived in Europe, it seemed very embarrassing.

Since the departure of the Great White Fleet, the second round of construction of the United States Navy has already begun, so the shipyard is definitely not an unprofitable industry. After the merger, Sheffield, which can already manufacture 10,000-ton warships, can always get a piece of the cake.

.

After a round of funerals, Los Angeles has finally returned to calm. Although San Francisco is still in ruins, the Black Gold Company, which put away the murder weapon, has also joined in to express condolences. The terrible memories of the earthquake are slowly moving away from people's minds.

, but for people who have lost loved ones, it will take longer to completely forget the past.

The damage to San Francisco's urban area is gradually becoming known. More than half of the urban area was razed to the ground due to earthquakes and arson. Eighty percent of the remaining buildings are dilapidated buildings and can no longer be inhabited.

The tents brought by the slave owners were far from enough. In fact, until now, tents are being continuously transported by rail and sent to San Francisco. In the open spaces of San Francisco, tents marking the United Company are standing everywhere.
