The slave owner thought about many possible countermeasures for the DuPont family, and even thought that the other party might send someone to kill him. But the result of being prosecuted, please forgive Sheffield's limited imagination, he really didn't expect it.

Sheffield, who was standing in front of the sofa with his waist pinched and an incredulous expression on his face, was bumped into by Jesla, who had taken over the business of the Black Gold Company. His boss was also an emotional person, right? After hearing this, Oak

The manor steward said that he, who had just been appointed as the manager of the Black Gold Company, understood what was going on.

This is like a rapist who was released from prison and met another rapist who he met in prison. After asking about it, he found out that the rapist's current job is in a women's treatment institution. His main job is to help women mediate domestic violence. Who should I change?

Do you believe that a company that is notorious for making money from war will respond to another company that also makes money from war by suing and resorting to sacred law?

"Boss, why don't you contact Arlington and let the legal team respond to the lawsuit?" Seeing that his boss had not yet woken up from the powerful news, Jesla had no choice but to suggest.

"Where should we go to respond to the lawsuit? To respond to the lawsuit in Delaware?" Sheffield looked directly at Jessla and almost broke out in laughter, and said slyly, "You might as well let the DuPont family sue in Texas.

United companies, let’s see if the DuPont family can win.”

This kind of prosecution does not have to wait until the trial. Sheffield can predict the outcome. Fighting a lawsuit against the Crown Prince of Delaware on Delaware territory? How can you win? If you win, it will be a miracle.

After calming down, Sheffield was also thinking about the purpose of the DuPont family. Why did he come up with such a thing? A warmonger has now begun to change his gender? This is definitely impossible. There must be a purpose!

"Create a fait accompli, use case law to succeed in Delaware, and then drag the joint company to the federal court?" Sheffield slapped his thigh. This is the purpose of the DuPont family. He was still thinking about the DuPont family's seven-injury fist.

level, the opponent has already started practicing the second level of the Seven Injury Boxing Manual.

Fortunately, slave owners also have rich experience in litigation and counter-litigation. This is all due to Roosevelt's major actions during his term. It can be said that many business owners in the United States have passively accumulated a legal knowledge reserve.

Sheffield could also think of the underlying reasons that DuPont could think of. Finally, he shook his head and said, "Don't let our team of lawyers respond to the lawsuit. Just find two lawyers in Delaware to deal with it. This lawsuit is in Delaware."

We can't win in Huazhou, so we can just deal with it casually. The hope of victory lies elsewhere."

The sacred law can be said casually. With DuPont's position in Delaware, Sheffield has absolutely nothing to do. If it wants to be legally invincible, it can only do so from outside Delaware.

As for the lawsuit initiated by the DuPont family, Sheffield can only respond passively and hope for herd immunity.

Of course, when it comes to the Department of Justice's investigation of DuPont, there is still plenty of room for it to use rhetoric to appear neutral and covertly influence citizens to agree with the Department of Justice's statement.

Then at the same time, Sheffield also began a journey to win over allies. If the Department of Justice had not investigated the DuPont family at the same time, he would have wanted to force other upstream and downstream industry chain manufacturers to choose between Sheffield United Company and DuPont Consortium.

Almost immediately after the DuPont family sued United Company in Delaware, Sheffield began talking to upstream and downstream manufacturers in the name of United Company's boss. For a company like United Company that occupies an important position in the midstream,

We have strong control over upstream raw materials and downstream markets.

It is really easy to talk to the supply and demand manufacturers of the entire industry chain. The payment for the purchased goods is delayed a little, the share is reduced a little, and the ingredients of the raw materials are a little picky. These related manufacturers who are blocked by Sheffield United Company,

It will become very uncomfortable. Of course, these manufacturers can also go to the DuPont family. This is a free country. You are free to do anything. Of course, you must bear the consequences of freedom.

A basic fact is that the federal Department of Justice is currently investigating the DuPont Consortium. This is the first time that the Democratic Party has wielded the antitrust law since it came to power. If some people want to join in the fun, Sheffield will never stop them.

In fact, it is just a matter of not knowing whether to let these manufacturers choose one of the two. The methods aimed at attacking opponents are by no means the only ones. In order to make those companies and factories that are unwilling to compromise obedient at once, some necessary civil and military attacks are inevitable.

of.

You don’t have to do business with Sheffield United, then don’t do business with McHale Mining, don’t do business with Gale International Trading Company, and a long list of related companies on the list. The DuPont family controls dozens of companies overtly and covertly.

As a company, Sheffield's allies are only stronger than each other, not inferior to them.

If Sheffield insists on singling out one manufacturer to serve as a model, it can ask hundreds of southern companies to express their stance within one day. Sheffield can talk to Hartman and Hill about rail transport, as long as it wants to move in bulk.

If you want to transport goods, you must use railway transportation, and you must obtain the transport wagons of the two railway giants Hill and Hartmann.

Because a large amount of goods cannot be delivered in time, various companies will suffer huge losses.

As long as Sheffield is willing to have a good negotiation with the two railroad giants, raw materials will not be shipped to Delaware. Unless the DuPont family’s raw materials are produced in Delaware, according to the slave owners’ understanding, Delaware does not

It's famous for its raw materials. If we talk about Texas, it barely fits this definition, especially the railroad's blocking of cargo transportation, which is a very fatal thing.

When Standard Oil faced the cross-border oil war between the railroad giants, the reason why it was not strangled in transportation was because the Rockefeller family used new oil pipelines to offset the possibility that the railroad giants would choke the transporters. This ultimately led to

Carnegie's mentor and friend went bankrupt.

Oil can be transported through oil pipelines. Compared with railway and road oil transportation, which are both land transportation methods, pipeline oil transportation has the characteristics of large transportation volume, good sealing, low cost and high safety factor. As the diameter of the pipeline increases, the transportation

Oil costs are reduced. On the premise that oil resources are abundant and oil sources are guaranteed, the benefits of building large-diameter pipelines will be more obvious.

Now in Texas, with the help of Standard Oil Company, the Texas Oil Pipeline with a diameter of 30 centimeters has been completed across the board, making the transportation of Texas oil even more powerful.

Inland water transportation is in the hands of the United Company, and the automobile transportation giant has not yet emerged, because the current trucks have just been launched. Strictly speaking, there is no automobile transportation giant in the United States, and there will not be one within the foreseeable time.

If, as a loyal ally of the Dupont family, you can solve this problem shoulder to shoulder, then who can do anything to you? If the slave owner also admits that you can do this, that will be awesome.

As a young Morgan who has been deeply involved in the railway system for many years, he first thought of the issue of railway transportation. No one understands better than him the significance of the transportation process to major factories. It can be said that in this United States, apart from fighting against competitors for oil,

He was the one who fought the Standard Oil war, and he understood what this meant best. If the main artery was cut, the production process would be interrupted.

Otherwise, how could Morgan and Rockefeller, in front of Hartman and Hill, support a fight for control of railroads? If there were no more cost-effective alternatives like oil pipelines, there would never be a settlement in the end, whether it was Rockefeller or not.

Neither the family nor the Morgan family will tolerate their financial lifeline being completely controlled by the other party.

"It's really embarrassing!" Young Morgan was caught in a conflict. Today is different from the past. The alliance with the DuPont family faced the harmonious relationship between Standard Oil and United Company. It seemed very correct at the time, but even if he

I didn't expect that in just a few years, the gap between the Dupont family and its opponents would become so wide.

If the power of the Morgan Alliance is not used to help the DuPont family, as the noose around the DuPont family becomes tighter and tighter, Morgan Jr. must admit that if the real strength of the two companies really competes, it will be difficult for the DuPont family this time.

But the Morgan Alliance came forward. To be fair, little Morgan didn't want to do this. He was not even willing to face this opponent, let alone come forward for an alliance member? The two companies were enemies on the battlefield, why would he, a banker, come forward to join in the fun?

.

But seeing the Dupont family being strangled, little Morgan couldn't do anything. He could only remind Pierre Dupont first. Little Morgan knew that if Sheffield really used transportation, it would be used as a noose to strangle the Dupont family. To tell the truth

This is a violation of antitrust laws.

Therefore, Morgan Jr. estimates that in the current public opinion environment, the slave owners in the South will not sing praises for the Department of Justice while contacting the railroad giants to leave obvious evidence on transportation. Privately greeting Hill, Hartman and others is

It's possible, but no amount of manipulation should make it possible.

Almost as soon as Hartman and Hill put down the phone in Sheffield, they received a call from little Morgan. They knew that something interesting had happened recently. They seemed to be obsessed with trivial matters and ignored something.

From the phone calls from young Morgan, combined with the phone calls from previous slave owners, the two railroad giants already understood everything.

"Don't worry, we won't muddy the waters between two large companies." Hill and Hartman both expressed their attitudes. If something really happens, it can only be said that all this is normal market behavior.
