Without the support of the original slave owners, Tesla would have been shamelessly taken over by Morgan, but he would have achieved his goal. This is the situation Baekeland is facing now.

In the field of shamelessness, Sheffield is still above Morgan. Morgan is testing Tesla's endurance step by step. As an outstanding representative of southern citizens, Sheffield ignores these superficial projects and directly produces a full set of

One step in place. Now it's like playing backgammon. A professional chess player from Sheffield plays against an amateur like Backlund. He also said that if he connects four pieces, he will win.

As a patent owner who has just achieved results but has not yet realized them, Baekeland has no money now, and Sheffield here has prepared litigation expenses that far exceed the other party's worth. Let Baekeland, the owner of the plastic patent, go through a period of time first.

Proletarian life should not be separated from the people.

Sheffield is all for his own good. Shameless capitalists are despised. The fewer such people in the United States, the better. In order for most citizens in the country to not forget their roots, the slave owners are once again ready to sacrifice themselves to set off the working people.

great.

It coincides with the annual Forbes ranking collection of protection fees. Regarding the past year, that is, before the ranking of the richest and young richest people in the United States in 1909 is about to be launched, the personnel of the United Company have rushed to various places to find these rich people.

People had a good talk, and after some willing communication, many rich people were blackmailed, and their properties shrank one after another, and some of them transformed back into the working people.

It is reported that this time, hundreds of rich people accepted unequal blackmail, which brought more than 10 million US dollars in benefits to the Forbes list. The consequences were also very disastrous. The rich people who were extorted directly lost more than 300 million in wealth.

, so they will naturally not be on the Forbes rich list.

While collecting protection fees, the United Company is not idle, but is carrying out production conversion operations. Baekeland hopes to choose New Jersey as the place to start his career. This can be said to be the same as the heroes, and fight with the DuPont family.

The base of the price war is in New Jersey, and there was an explosion last year.

In this regard, Anne announced on behalf of the United Company that these very dangerous gunpowder factories would be moved out of New Jersey. This statement, combined with the unique protective color of women, won a lot of praise from the public opinion.

But today is different from the past. The DuPont family has completely surrendered and ceded the market, and there are no enemies left. In fact, the United Company no longer needs to pretend to be a hypocrite, and can show its true face as a villain. No one can do anything to Sheffield.

In other words, the past was before and the present is now. The United Company's factory can stay in New Jersey. The hostess of Arlington made the original appeal. You must know that there is still a male owner in Arlington. Anne wants to move.

Sheffield disagreed, and it was reasonable to keep the gunpowder factory in New Jersey.

But after the Baekeland incident occurred, there was another option. New Jersey, which has a foundation in the chemical industry, could switch to the production of plastic products. As for whether it is pollution or not, it can be said at that time, "Baekeland's technology is immature."

, the products of small workshops are just researched by accident. After scientific comparison, the plastic products of United Company are purely natural and pollution-free."

This is not bullying, nor is it to take advantage of others, nor is it for the boring pleasure of bullying, but for the smooth development of future cooperation. No one can blame a businessman for wanting to make money. There is nothing wrong with making money.

It would be even better if you can make money lawlessly.

Although with the progress of the times, many early plunders are not advisable. There is always a reason to find, but in essence there is no change. It is just whether the benefit is big enough. If it is big enough, what kind of prestige is there? There is no such thing as a face-saving project.

No matter what, emerging industries and sunset industries are always changing. If you want to be invincible, you must strike first. You can't blame the slave owner. You can't blame an eagle for catching rabbits.

Just like during the Spanish-American War, the United States stated that it would fight for Cuba's independence. But in the end, it had to make a difficult decision to invade Cuba and turn it into a colony.

Sheffield was very surprised by the uninvited guest. He remembered that he had not seen Lowell for a long time, except for a brief glance at Rockefeller Manor last time.

When a distinguished guest arrived, Sheffield's mind changed rapidly, and then he thought of Baekeland's question, hoping that he was not right.

"Oh, my friend, what kind of wind has brought you here?" After seeing Lowell, Sheffield opened his arms and wanted to give him a warm hug, but Lowell also avoided him, which was only disappointing.

He said, "You Yangki people are really too indifferent. It may have something to do with the climate there."

But it’s wrong to think this way. Northeasterners are very familiar with each other. It seems that northerners in many countries are more indifferent than southerners. Why is there an alien in the Republic? Poor people rely on mutation?

"We are all old friends, so we don't have to start over from scratch for many things." Lowell said with confidence, and this tone showed that his visit this time was indeed for something.

With such a sneer in his heart, Sheffield pretended to glance at the other side casually, but the equally shrewd Lowell also had no reaction. This kind of stare was very boring, and Sheffield could only say, "Get to the point directly?

"

"I want to get involved in the field of plastics!" Lowell sat down unceremoniously, with a very solemn tone.

Why? Sheffield really wanted to ask, but even so, Sheffield was not opposed to this form of negotiation. On the contrary, he preferred the current situation.

In fact, if you think about it, Lowell was very sincere when he came to Arlington Manor in person from Boston. This kind of thing can be said by telegram or phone, which is not a big deal for Lowell.

It's not very difficult. The fact that the other party can come in person shows their attitude.

"Are you representing a group of people, or your family? This is a very important question!" Sheffield did not refuse directly. He could do whatever he wanted to Baekeland. He could even kill the other party and go directly to Baekeland.

His wife signed the transfer agreement, but this could not be done with Lowell because class unity must be maintained.

"On behalf of the Lowell family!" Lowell admitted, "Our several families in Boston will only communicate with each other when faced with real pressure, and usually develop their businesses separately."

This is almost the reason why you are the oldest, but your development is always not smooth, right? Sheffield shrugged. This consortium with the longest history in the United States has almost witnessed the establishment of other consortiums to surpass Boston. But it has always been practiced.

The original intention of the founding of the United States, federalism within a conglomerate.

After finally uniting to put Kennedy on the throne, he aroused public outrage and was assassinated.

"Are you very reluctant?" Seeing Sheffield not speaking, Lowell asked without changing his expression.

"No," Sheffield was still so precious about words, and the smile on his face was still so simple and relaxed, "What is there that we can't talk about between us? You are in the northeast of the country,

Our family is in the southwest, and there is far more room for cooperation than conflict, so we can talk..."

Being able to talk has shown Sheffield's attitude, but how to talk is another question. Lowell cannot speak loudly. This is Sheffield's bottom line. Once he considers an area that is very important, he always pursues controlling interests.

.It feels safer this way!

Lowell also knew that if he didn't bring the entire Boston consortium out, there would be no huge benefits waiting for him. The reason why he came in the name of his family was because he knew the problems of slave owners.

Over the years, he has been able to see from Sheffield's work process that once this field is promising, the other party will always take the lion's share, so he accidentally learned about this matter and decided not to involve other families, and came over to talk to Xie himself.

Talk to Field.

At the end, Sheffield asked a puzzling question, "How do you know about this?"

"I just happen to know that Ogle is your mistress's brother!" Lowell forced out a smile and said, "I never thought that the meticulousness I cultivated through piano practice would become an advantage."

"It's really embarrassing for this kind of privacy to be known to others." That's what Sheffield said, and then he changed the topic, "What about this matter, about the lawsuit against Baekeland."

"I'll help you handle it. I know you don't really trust others and always want to see it with your own eyes. But Arlington is still a little far away from New York. I can help you keep an eye on it." Lowell took over the matter directly.

He came over and said, "Besides, I also have certain connections in New York that I can use. It's not difficult to deal with an entrepreneur."

"Then thank you!" Sheffield sighed quietly, and could only console himself that money cannot be earned by one person. As long as the big head is on your side, sometimes you have to learn to share.

"I can also help you campaign against the Democratic Party!" Lowell thought for a moment and said, "We can all develop in harmony. I believe this will be beneficial to everyone."

"Of course!" Sheffield said concisely and concisely, but when listening to the other party's words, why do you always feel like the other party is coming closer? Is the idea of ​​the Democratic Party particularly attractive?

He doesn't think so, or is the operation of splitting up DuPont by the three giants also showing off? Now he is taking the initiative to show his kindness?
