Chapter 54 The British Conspiracy

"These Yankees are going to shoot us!" John Connor came to Sheffield, who had already bowed before money, and said with an ugly face.

Can you please share the occasion? Sheffield's mind is buzzing. I hate Yankees. Can you please share the occasion? This is the headquarters of the Rockefeller family, not a passenger ship.

"It doesn't matter. I believe there will be no problem with our safety at Rockefeller Manor! When you go to other people's places, you must always maintain basic courtesy!" Sheffield gestured feebly. This is the richest man in the United States and a rising star in the United States. He surpassed him as soon as he appeared on the stage.

Many established families.

If a rising star wants to break out of the encirclement and suppression of established families, either the founder must be a genius, or he must seize an industry that others have not paid attention to and quickly establish his own advantages. The Rockefeller family has seized on the oil industry, and the founder also

He is truly a genius.

Just because the Rockefeller family has been clearing their name in the past two years, you cannot think that the other party is a kind person. Sheffield is not willing to show his unruly character on other people's territory, and he also wants to see who the other party is.

Since the manor is a place for leisure, there will naturally not be a large number of buildings. The main villa is not magnificent, but just ordinary. Under the guidance of the servant, Sheffield entered the main villa and became a member of the manor that is still under construction.

guest.

I recited the manuscript several times in my mind, and prepared to try my best to show in front of the other party that I was not new to the world. However, for a long time, the owner of this place did not appear.

"Hello, Mr. Sheffield, no, hello, Master William!" The other party, not far away from Sheffield, was the same young man in a suit and tie in his early twenties, who was also similar to the guest he was about to meet.

Make final preparations for the assault in order to achieve the effect that we have seen through many battles.

"This is the first time we meet, please take care of me!" Sheffield stood in the living room, stumbling and practicing in the air. A strange look flashed across Anne's face, was she using it like this?

After a few deep breaths, little Rockefeller made up his mind to independently take charge of the situation without his father for the first time, and have a good talk with the octopus in southern Texas. He also knew that this was specially set aside for him by his father.

You must seize the opportunity, little Rockefeller warned himself as he appeared in front of the two people in Sheffield.

Why are there two people? It turns out they are the heirs of the oil tycoon! Seeing each other suddenly, both Sheffield and Rockefeller were stunned, and they almost forgot the manuscript they had just prepared.

"This is the first time we meet, please take care of me. I am William's friend!" Anne stretched out her white hand and greeted with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil industry and your family's reputation have spread all over the world.

I feel very lucky to meet the controller of the oil kingdom today."

"Oh!" Little Rockefeller was stunned for a moment, then reached out and took the extended hand, "Beautiful lady, I am very happy to see you. Welcome to the Rockefeller Manor."

"Well! The United States does not have the habit of kissing hands!" Sheffield's eyes wandered to the hands of the two of them, and reminded him calmly. Anne withdrew her hand without leaving a trace, "You cannot kiss girls' hands either.

.The French hand-kissing ceremony is different from the British one.”

What did I just say? Little Rockefeller cleared his throat and extended his hand, "Two distinguished guests, please take a seat!"

The two sat down, and Rockefeller Jr. asked Sheffield's friend, the lady who just took over the honor, where she came from. After chatting for a while, he said, "The reason why we asked the two of them to come over by boat is because there is a strike in New York and the inland rivers are

It will be safer, but I am too hasty. I hope my guests will not blame me."

"This is not unexpected. I almost always see workers going on strike in newspapers. Of course, I cannot rule out the possibility that hooligans are involved in collaborating with each other to disrupt the normal production order. These people do not understand that it is we who create wealth and ensure their employment.

Sheffield chuckled, and then comforted, "Strong measures should be taken against these ignorant hooligans. If they are left alive, they are a threat to the United States."

These words clearly stated her position. Anne, who was leaning next to her, had bright eyes and nodded frequently.

"The workers are on strike this time, but they are workers along the railway line. The reason is actually the plummeting price of food." Young Rockefeller glanced at Sheffield and said meaningfully, "Master William, the source of this matter is Texas.

"

President Lincoln approved the first Pacific Railroad Construction Act, which stipulated that the Union Pacific Railroad Company and the Central Pacific Railroad Company would jointly build the transcontinental Pacific Railroad. The starting point of the Union Pacific Railroad was Omaha, Nebraska.

, the starting point of the Central Pacific Railroad is Sacramento, California. The two companies built railroads from east to west.

The earliest cultivated land in the north was actually the land along the railway line. These lands supplied the north with food. Now that the Civil War has passed thirty years ago, more land has been reclaimed. But there has been no change in the field of agricultural products.

Above, the fact that the South has a greater say.

What Rockefeller meant was very simple. At the beginning of this year, the prices of agricultural products began to skyrocket. Many farmers in the north felt that growing food was profitable, and they expanded their planting areas. However, just when they were about to receive the goods, the high prices began to plummet across the board.

Among them are these farmers who are expanding their planting area. The reason why there is a strike in New York is because the population here is dense and the impact is particularly strong.

"The weather is unpredictable, and you have to speak with evidence. This matter has nothing to do with Texas." Sheffield's expression changed instantly. He first blamed the food problem on the weather. Losers at home and abroad like to do this.

It didn't matter if he did it once, then he spread his hands and said helplessly, "Other companies don't know, but I think Standard Oil should know. Your family and mine are both families established in international trade, and other companies can only do it domestically."

Unlike the companies that move the world, international trade is risky. Because of the current incident in Venezuela, our family has also been subject to sanctions, which are all sacrifices for the country."

"The skyrocketing price of food at the beginning of the year was because ordinary people exaggerated the damage of the weather, causing dealers to raise prices. The reason for the sudden drop in food now is because of British sanctions. This is the British economic attack on the United States. It has nothing to do with simple producers like us.
