"There really is such great potential!" Sheffield looked at his wife and said softly, "Don't underestimate the advent of synthetic materials. In a sense, the advent of plastics coincides with the time when I merged the chemical company. If

Seize this opportunity, it is another opportunity to go to the next level. First send someone to check it out and get a general understanding before formally interviewing. At the same time, you must be prepared for failure and avoid the shackles of patents."

Plugs, sockets, radios, phone casings, propellers, valves, gears, almost anything you can think of at once, can be made of plastic.

Like many similar projects, plastics are also being promoted by quite a few researchers. German chemist Adolf von Bayer discovered that after the reaction of phenol and formaldehyde, there were some stubborn residues at the bottom of the glass tube. However, Bayer's vision was to synthesize dyes.

For him, this sticky insoluble substance is a dead end. For Baekeland and others, this kind of thing is a bright road sign.

Lucky for Baekeland, his British colleague Sir James Swinburne submitted his patent application only one day later.

If the goal cannot be achieved from Baekeland, then we have to enter the next stage. How to act rogue and let Baekeland know that cooperation with the United Company will maximize his interests. There are many methods. First of all, Sir James Swinburne's patent application

It was only one day later than Baekeland, but between two researchers thousands of miles apart, it is unclear who came first and who came after. It can only be said that Baekeland applied for the patent earlier.

If Sheffield is determined to play rogue, he can completely turn the tables on Sir James Swinburne's research results and transfer them to the United Company, thereby bypassing Baekeland's patent.

At the same time, in the name of Sir James Swinburne's client, he sued Baekeland and plunged him into a long and desperate lawsuit. He refused to let him go. At the same time, he relied on the advantages of his large enterprise to rapidly expand production capacity and put the patent owner

Forced into a dead end, even if the lawsuit is finally lost and market dominance becomes a fait accompli, no one can do anything about Sheffield.

The worst that can happen is that you will have to pay in the end. This is also the tradition of the United States. First create the established fact, and then say sorry in an understatement after a few intervals, and pay a symbolic compensation for medical expenses. This is how the Panama Canal works!

After hearing what her husband meant, Anne had already figured it out and said softly, "First of all, what we should do is to make sure there are no other giants behind Baekeland."

Having been in the United States for more than ten years, Anne naturally knows that the operation mentioned by her husband is actually not a problem. In the face of patent owners, the advantage of large companies is that they have money. They can completely address the shortcomings of patent owners who lack funds.

Seize the market with patents and litigation fees.

Annie, who had seen it with her own eyes, knew that her husband's support of Tesla saved the inventor of alternating current from almost embarrassment. Without her husband's support, Tesla's life was doomed to be miserable.

Her husband had practiced this kind of thing, and Anne quickly thought of doing this. In fact, the biggest advantage is to make sure that there is no giant support behind Baekeland. If there is someone who is not afraid of the existence of the United Company to support him, then

It will not be easy to achieve the goal.

The current advantage is that the United Company has just annexed the chemical industry of the DuPont family. Looking at the United States, it can be said to be a dominant company. No matter how rich he is, it will take a certain amount of time just to rebuild the factory, let alone occupy the market. Disadvantage

It's what Sheffield calls the patent issue.

"Go through an intermediary to find out. I'll just ask Mr. Rand." Anne suggested to her husband. "Gunpowder and plastic seem to be neither close nor far apart. The distance is just right."

"Then let him do it!" Sheffield had no objection and held his wife's hand and said, "How dare I disobey the mistress's opinion? I am very satisfied to have such a wife who constantly forgives me."

"Well! I also hope that you won't have more illegitimate children. You even got Alice Roosevelt." As soon as she heard this topic, Anne's face immediately turned cloudy. She stretched out her hand to pinch the soft flesh of her husband's waist and then twisted it.

, with an angelic smile on her face, showing with practical actions that the endurance of Mistress Arlington is also limited.

"Isn't there nothing I can do about it? I'm a man away from home with so many competitors. Sometimes it's inevitable that I'll have to humiliate myself and sacrifice my body in exchange for the development of the joint company." Sheffield said for himself.

He found an excuse for his behavior, "Without Edith's help, could the business have developed so fast? Without Alice Roosevelt, how could the antitrust laws have been passed so easily?"

It's just that the wife didn't understand the slave owner's difficulties in carrying a heavy burden, but she even tortured him. Sheffield is now very aggrieved.

"Your fallacies are not worthy of belief!" Anne curled her lips, not being beguiled by her husband's rhetoric at all. She had already sacrificed so much, letting other women go to Arlington to give birth, what else did she want?

"Of course I know that my Anne has also sacrificed a lot!" While speaking, Sheffield already held his wife in his arms with one hand, "Don't worry, my goal is not even to be the richest man, but to influence the joint company in the future.

My power is not limited to the United States. I want my sons to be the richest men in other countries. Of course, the biggest contribution must be to our children. In this way, they can live peacefully in their own country. If they really appear in a certain country

I can also cope with the changes. I will continue to work hard to expand my family's wealth."

"You said before that the Rockefeller family only makes money and uses the money to live a long life. The purpose of your money is to have children and make them the richest man?" Anne clenched her fist and hit her husband. "Everyone knows, anyway.

I am the mistress of Arlington, and your legitimate heir is my son, that's all."

"It's not necessarily just one. It would be a pity to give birth to another wife for such an excellent wife like you." Sheffield used the licking skill again. I don't know if it was a coincidence or something, but Sharma who was not far away seemed to be unable to stand it any longer, and he lit up directly.

The murder weapon was released, and two huge horses actually did such an indecent thing in broad daylight.

"Look!" Sheffield pointed at the two shire horses, "People say horses have five legs. It's really..."

"You are not serious at such an old age!" Anne gently pulled Sheffield's ear and laughed heartily in her husband's arms.

Everything is recovering, and it's the mating season on the grassland again! The dog licks everything he wants. Isn't this because Sheffield is rich and has hundreds of millions. If it were anyone else, he would have nothing.

After Ogle came to Arlington, he finally had a general understanding of the heart of United Company. It is somewhat surprising that in a place like Texas, where people are proud to work for United Company, he actually

I've never had this idea, and I've never even been to Arlington.

Only today did he have a certain understanding of this small city, which is far less famous than Houston and Dallas. First of all, it has a huge number of cars, which is almost more than New York.

"Brother!" A soft cry called Ogle back from his thoughts. Natalia was wearing a tight skirt and seemed to be preparing for postpartum body recovery. After seeing her brother come to his senses, she continued, "Are you here?

How is New York?"

"It's okay!" Ogle hesitated, looked at his sister, and finally said, "Actually, based on your conditions, you can find a man who will treat you well all your life. You don't need to be one of the many women in Sheffield.

one."

"Oh!" Natalia smiled noncommittally and said nonchalantly, "This kind of man is actually not easy to find, but it is certainly much easier to find than a man like William. He is the master of this country, like you.

People like this are only the masters of the country for one day in four years. After the election day, you will no longer be important to the country."

"The money he earns in one day can't be earned by working around the clock from now until the age of eighty. Brother, I'm not questioning your ability. This is a fact. Even your identity as a reporter was introduced by him.

I got the letter from you, otherwise you just graduated, how could you be a reporter right away and be famous now!" Natalia sighed quietly, "I don't want to know what happened to you and him, but I can guess

It's definitely not friendly when I meet you, you should calm down."

"Yes, I should be more at peace." Ogle thought of the night when he was smelting steel, and said in a wan voice, "I know, don't worry, I won't cause trouble for him again in the future."

It’s just that you thought you were looking for trouble with him! Natalia thought for a moment but still didn’t say it. After all, the person in front of her was her brother. Some words were hard to clarify, and she was too straightforward.

At the same time, Sheffield, who was walking, kept nodding while listening to John Connor's report, but at the end he shook his head and corrected, "Animal testing alone is not enough. Things used on humans must pass through the human body."

Experiment, otherwise we won’t get accurate data.”

"However, if there are a large number of casualties, the news may be leaked." John Connor said with some embarrassment, "At least there is no safe place in the country."

"Then go to Haiti or Guantánamo." Sheffield said coldly, "It would be much safer overseas. Build a factory and directly use people from Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Haitian resistance organizations to make experimental products. The appearance can be made into a public bathroom.

His appearance is used to deceive others."

"By the way, we need to build a crematorium and burn it and throw it into the sea directly. This way it can be kept confidential." Sheffield stopped Mr. Savior and said that he had not finished speaking. As a senior German fan, he was not interested in this set of relevant information.
