Chapter 526 Surprise DuPont
No one needs to remind Sheffield that he is now an absolutely stinky existence in the eyes of Delaware citizens, but it doesn't matter. How can a state administrative district with an area of 6,000 square kilometers and a population of less than 500,000 be able to What do you think of yourself? Calling it a place with a big nose is not only not a slander, but also very appropriate.
After the Department of Justice officially accused DuPont of colluding with the Delaware State Assembly to promote a tax reduction bill that was beneficial to DuPont, DuPont had lost the opportunity to completely fight back in terms of public opinion. From this era, the completion of the newspaper The Sheffield arranged by the media is equivalent to a forum administrator. He can delete posts if he wants to, and block them if he wants to. What he does depends entirely on his mood. Whether the Dupont family is satisfied with the current situation or not, he It can make the other party unable to make a sound.
"The final outcome of this matter is so surprising. I even wonder if William had been planning this a long time ago." In the Rockefeller Manor, young Rockefeller faced his still energetic father and spoke with a sincere tone. He sighed, "This time the DuPont family is in a difficult situation. The original tax cut bill has been dug out, and it is likely that the federal government will pursue and attack them."
"As far as I know, United Company has actually done similar things." Old Rockefeller looked at his son and slowly said, "So this matter is essentially the same for everyone. The different results are due to strength. The gap between Sheffield United and DuPont is now very obvious. Doing the same thing will get different results. The question is, what does Morgan think? My son? "
"Morgan probably won't end well either. Although the Morgan family and the DuPont family have interests, this kind of competition is obviously going to end completely in the end. It's impossible for Morgan to take the risk and help." Rockefeller Jr. pondered for a moment. , expressed his judgment.
Old Rockefeller nodded. The heir's view was the same as his own. Under normal circumstances, there was nothing wrong with helping, but when the fight was fuming, others would not take the risk and get involved.
Moreover, it can be seen from the Ministry of Justice's prosecution of the DuPont family that there are political factors at work here. It can be seen that Sheffield United Company is determined to crush its competitors this time. As for the preparation of public opinion, in addition to the national During the general election, he had never seen public opinion so unified.
It can even be said that many newspapers and media responded to this attack on the DuPont family as a national election.
Originally, in the current political environment, the Democratic Party is at its strongest in thirty years. It is understandable that the Sheffield family takes advantage of the current strong environment. On the other hand, after the financial crisis, this comprehensive Concern company can be regarded as a complement. The last shortcoming has been eliminated, the internal circulation has been completed, and the strength can be said to have reached a higher level.
"Don't you think this has something to do with the governance of the Democratic Party?" Old Rockefeller asked his son again, "Lowering tariffs promotes domestic competition. From what your sister Edith brought back, for real giants, such as Standard Oil and Morgan Bank, The threat it poses is not big. However, companies in the Concern model do everything, which is a very scary business model. The United Company will definitely not give up its own market share, but it can let other companies give it up to Europe. The corporate sweetness of capital, and in addition to Sheffield United, another domestic successful company in multi-industry development is DuPont."
"What my father means is that William is also using DuPont's market share to express goodwill to some foreign capital." Little Rockefeller had a strange face. This kind of behavior of uniting foreign capital to strangle domestic enterprises is somewhat unjustifiable.
In fact, there is nothing unjustifiable. Once the war breaks out in Europe, these European capital companies will inevitably disappear from the United States. However, the Du Pont family is different. After passing this village, there will be no such place. If Du Pont succeeded in surviving until the outbreak of World War I, even the
Sheffield couldn't think of any normal way to deal with this competitor. Unless he directly sent the Black Gold Company to Delaware to solve the problem openly and openly.
Preventing potential enemies from becoming competitors is a steel rule in competition. What's more, the DuPont family cannot be considered potential enemies. The two families have long been real enemies. Peaceful coexistence is impossible, or one party's strength is too far apart and completely disappears.
Either one side bows its head and changes the direction of development,
Sheffield's position, of course, is that the DuPont family either disappears or changes its direction of development, not its own. It makes it unable to pose a real threat to itself. It's as simple as that.
As for whether the Dupont family is willing, whether they will oppose or even hate them. Don't they hate themselves before? Since they already hate themselves, what else can they say? Follow the laws of the market, the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest. This is the unchanging truth.
.Although this is actually malicious competition, it can actually be regarded as a type of market competition.
In the past few days, Alice Roosevelt felt that a new trait had appeared in Sheffield, or that this trait had always existed, but had never been so obvious. The Delaware state government had already sued Sheffield in federal court.
This is the first time since the founding of the United States that a state government has brought a private entity to the Supreme Court. From this point of view, Sheffield can be proud.
But the person involved was not anxious at all, and was even more interested in walking the dog than dealing with it, as if the incident he was accused of had never happened. Apart from walking the dog, he was just talking to the bodyguard leader who kept strangers away, and seemed to be planning something.
Looking at Sheffield playing with his pets, Alice Roosevelt couldn't help but feel a little worried. She knelt down and asked, "Aren't you worried?"
"What are you worried about?" Sheffield looked like you were weird and pointed at the half-sized native dog in his hand. "Worried about it biting me? No, the good thing about this kind of East Asian breed dog is that it recognizes its owner and knows what to call it.
A dog? What is kindness?"
"I don't know!" Alice Roosevelt, who was led astray by the slave owner in just two sentences, simply forgot her question and followed the slave owner's thoughts as she went astray.
"Let me tell you, a truly good dog must be similar in appearance to a wolf. A dog is a domesticated wolf. The more similar a dog is to a wolf in appearance, it means that the dog retains some of the advantages of the wolf. That's not true.
There are no special examples, and the Siberian Husky can be said to be an exception." Sheffield continued to tease the puppies with his fingers while dictating the knowledge of dog breeding.
"There are many small dogs, and many people are also breeding purebred dogs." This was the first time Alice Roosevelt heard about Sheffield's dog breeding theory, which was different from what many people said.
"Hmph, those are all dog breeds created by human intervention." Sheffield said with a disgusted face, "These dog breeds have very obvious shortcomings, and it can even be said that they are deliberately exaggerating the shortcomings of these dogs, resulting in a series of
Weird dog breeds have always satisfied some people’s preferences.”
The most unethical practice in dog breeding is also the source of purebred dog breeding problems. It is the unspoken rule that is popular in purebred dog breeding: inbreeding. The vast majority of purebred dogs are produced in Europe and the United States.
In this era, Sheffield has seen that the ancestors of bull terriers did not have deformed heads like those of later generations. The heads of bulldogs were not as exaggerated as those of later generations. Corgis of later generations must have their tails docked and Labrador's legs
Most of them have problems. Golden retrievers are a dog breed with a high incidence of cancer, and boxers are very afraid of heat. This is a well-known fact.
The reason why dog breeds have special diseases is just like incest marriage, there may be offspring with obvious defects. Purebred dogs are to mate dog breeds with continuous defects and select to control the breeds that appear.
Therefore, Sheffield keeps certain dog breeds at arm's length. The dogs they keep are always about the same size as wolves. They cannot be as small as pet dogs, nor can the characteristics of the dogs have changed greatly. People who raise purebred dogs are in Sheffield.
In Field's eyes, he is worse than a person who loves to eat dog meat.
Forced to listen to the slave owner's experience in raising dogs, Alice Roosevelt successfully forgot what she was going to ask just now. Now she looks at the native dog and feels much more pleasing to the eye.
If the head of the bodyguard hadn't appeared again, Alice Roosevelt might have really forgotten about it. Seeing her man and the head of the bodyguard discussing things mysteriously, and watching the local dogs surrounding them, Alice Roosevelt finally remembered.
, it seems that the purpose just now is not to share the experience of raising a dog.
"Have you checked everything?" Sheffield held a cigarette in his mouth and chatted with his close confidant on the grass. "But be careful. You only have one chance. If you make a mistake, you can't continue. Of course, we'd better hit it with one shot."
, but if you can’t do it, come back right away.”
"We have already found the ship departing from the Ivory Coast and heading to the port in Delaware. It is not difficult to find out. Our idea is to start a hundred nautical miles away from the coastline. We can also follow it for a period of time.
The speed of the cargo ship is not very fast, and it can't be kept up with." Jesra looked around and lowered his voice, "It's like the boss said, if you miss a hit, you will retreat immediately."
"That's right. If you admit your mistake and sink Dupont's cargo ship, you won't be able to blame it on the accident." Sheffield said with a certain tone, "The freighter is slow, and if you dive to follow it and not lose it, you will definitely
You have to be sure before you take action. By the way, just bring me one torpedo, contact the shipyard, and be sure to keep it confidential."
"I know, I've got the manpower ready." Jesra answered as carefully as possible, because using a submarine to hit a cargo ship, not to mention the United Company itself, the United States currently has no such combat example, and it needs to be explored.
