Chapter five hundred and sixty-ninth, the airship arrives in New York

"They are going too far, so what can they do if they don't give it?" Anne's dissatisfied voice came out from the microphone. The lioness became so powerful that even Sheffield had to put the microphone away and calmed down a little before taking it.

He came back and said, "Don't worry, no one can force me to do something I don't like. I said this matter can be discussed, so I have already thought about it. After all, cars are also consumer goods, there is nothing that cannot be discussed."

Compared with his wife's dissatisfaction, Sheffield is a little relieved. In fact, this is not essentially Morgan forcing him to hand over the industry, but financial capital urgently needs an industry to shoulder the responsibilities of this era.

For example, Google, Amazon, and Tesla a hundred years from now, can these companies not be listed? In theory, it is possible, but in practice, it is not possible. Not only do financial capital need them to be listed, but the United States also needs them to exist in the stock market.

Domestic private funds have gathered together, and Morgan Jr. talking about United Motors Corporation represents recognition in itself.

Sheffield believes that Ford, the stock king at the beginning of the century, should have experienced similar pressure. But he doesn’t know if Morgan Jr. personally came forward to discuss it. The effect is still very obvious. After Ford went public, Ford himself was never seen.

The legendary car enthusiast has become one of the top upstarts in the United States.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Ford himself was definitely a name that could be mentioned at the same time as Morgan and Rockefeller. The automobile king was no less valuable than the oil king. Of course, he later had his hips stretched, but he was just not as famous as Rockefeller and Morgan.

, a giant that is extremely powerful than the average family, and there are many reasons for pulling the crotch.

The benefits of going public are obvious. Sheffield had vaguely thought about this a few years ago and knew that the process of building a closed loop of Concern might cause panic among giants in other industries. In fact, he was already prepared for this day, but he was not prepared.

It’s nothing more than the further back, the better.

"Well, there are many profitable industries in the world. You and I both understand that it is impossible for one person to make all the money in the world. What happened today will happen sooner or later. Little Morgan's attitude is still very good

, discuss this matter with me, and are willing to purchase it at the market price, and are willing to admit a certain premium. I definitely can't let them achieve their goal so easily, and I agree if they give a price they can't refuse. I want to use words.

It's impossible to deal with me." Sheffield comforted his wife, then changed the subject, "By the way, what do the Germans think? We all do business together, and I helped the Germans open the country without even a little benefit.

Don’t you want to sell it?”

"Only the details are left, and they have basically been negotiated. The headquarters of the United Airship Company is still in Houston. You said that all the things that can fly are placed there. I am dedicating land to build a factory here." Annie changed again.

With a cute and pleasant voice, he also did not forget to sell private goods, such as Germans being greedy and difficult to deal with, etc.

Sheffield raised his eyebrows. This was not surprising at all. His wife was French, and it was inevitable that he would be somewhat unobjective and neutral when talking about the Germans. As a descendant of an aristocrat, he could not be rational towards the Germans. The Second French Empire was

It was destroyed at the hands of the Second German Empire, and the descendants of the nobles could not forgive this incident.

But having said that, if the dominant royalists hadn't held back each other, how could the republicans have controlled the situation? A typical example of heretics being more hateful than heretics. I would rather let the republicans be in power than the royalists from other forces.

Have the merit of support.

Sheffield United Company is negotiating with Zeppelin Company to develop domestic aviation business. Sheffield United Company has once again established a new company to develop domestic shipping business.

Airships at the beginning of the 20th century had obvious advantages over airplanes, and the carrying capacity alone was not the same. Airships had just appeared not long ago, and their airborne carrying capacity was small and posed little threat to ground bombing. Therefore, although the airship's huge body was vulnerable to

Attack: During World War I, Germany had been using airships to bomb Britain. Because airships could carry hundreds of kilograms of bombs.

At this time, the First World War had just broken out, and the performance of the aircraft was still very fragile, and there was no power to prevent the arrival of the airship. At that time, there were few aircraft that could fight at night, and ordinary aircraft could only do the following once they discovered the airship.

Poke two small holes in its thick skin. The only thing that can prevent these German aerial giants from visiting the UK is the unpredictable weather at sea.

Sheffield is also well aware of the unsafe aspects of airships, which are the hydrogen filled inside the airship. But this matter is not unsolvable. In the 20th century, helium can be used instead of hydrogen. Helium is an inert gas and is absolutely safe.

It is more reassuring than hydrogen which is more flammable and explosive.

Later, airships were taken seriously again, because airships switched to safe helium, and their development became active again. New airships using a variety of new technologies are used in aerial photography, patrols, etc. And with the widespread use of helium in airships

With air filling, safety is also greatly improved.

"In this way, when I go out, there will be airships following me in the sky. I can directly drive out the experimental airship and land on the Rockefeller Manor. There are thousands of acres of manor. It will definitely land." Sheffield said lazily, "Bring more with you.

The bodyguards came over, New York has always been unfriendly to me."

The Sheffield United Airship Company's airship, apart from being similar to a Zeppelin in appearance, has multiple complex airbags inside the shell for inflating, which is a bit cumbersome. Just open a dragon fruit and look at the structure inside and you will understand. The shell has already

There are multiple air bags filled with helium, similar to the rugby air bags of Zeppelin, which play a protective role.

This slightly sacrifices some lift, but in exchange for greater safety. Before the balloon takes off, the "air room" is filled with air. When the balloon rises to a certain height, the "air room" is opened and a part of it is released.

Air. In this way, after the outer bag is inflated, the "air chamber" shrinks due to compression, which reduces the pressure of the outer bag to inflate to ensure that the air bag does not burst.

Sheffield knew that airships were just a stop-gap before the increase in aircraft capacity. However, when the huge airship appeared over New York, it still caused a sensation in the New York metropolitan area. Countless New Yorkers came out of their houses to watch.

Looking at the huge olives in the sky, people looked up at the sky with their necks and talked about what this thing was.

German airships have been around for several years, but due to the arms race, all airships are used in the military field. The cost of building an airship can easily reach hundreds of thousands or millions. Without the military to foot the bill, ordinary people cannot afford it.

Even when the United Company was negotiating with the Zeppelin Company, representatives from the Zeppelin Company were very surprised. The high cost discouraged some private companies focused on transportation.

But Sheffield doesn't think so. Airships have no perception of improving efficiency for European countries. The United States may be different. First of all, the land area is not comparable.

When the huge airship appeared in the sky above the Rockefeller Estate, even the people in the Rockefeller Estate panicked. It was purely a technical and instinctive reaction in the face of the behemoth.

"John, what are you looking at?" Sheffield came out of the room, raised his head at a forty-five degree angle as if he knew what he was asking, put his hand flat in front of his eyes and looked for a moment, then said in a sinister tone, "It's my wife who brought me food.

Okay, I've said it before, even though I'm not used to food from other places, I don't need such a big scene to frighten the New Yorkers anymore."

"Is this airship yours?" Little Rockefeller still didn't understand that the Sheffield in front of him was the instigator. He asked with doubt, "Did they fly over from Texas?"

"Uh-huh! Otherwise?" Sheffield shrugged, and the old god said, "The king of emerging industries always likes to market some relatively rare things. This can't be a mistake, right?"

I'm surprised now. If one day this thing drops bombs in New York, wouldn't it be even more unacceptable?

While enjoying the Rockefeller family's beauty show, the airship had landed steadily, so I had to praise the Rockefeller family. The golf course inside the manor was so flat, which reduced a lot of trouble in the landing work.

"Boss!" Dozens of bodyguards, as well as lawyers and accountants came down from above. When they saw where their boss, who loves to put his hands in his trouser pockets, was standing, he came over to say hello, "Madam asked us to come here because I was afraid you wouldn't like the life in New York.

.”

"I'm so determined!" Sheffield smiled extremely happily and walked over and joked, "It's the first time for some of you to build an airship. How do you feel? Maybe one day, airships will fill the sky of the United States. You can also be regarded as the first in the country.

There’s a group of passengers.”

Sheffield is full of good bosses who care about their employees. With such a boss, you can lead them to kill people and set fires, and experience absolute freedom. What more can be said. I can’t find a few of them all over the country!

In any case, the appearance of the airship in New York became the focus of heated discussion on the streets. Soon New York citizens also knew the owner of the huge airship, the boss of Sheffield United Company. The purpose of the airship coming to New York was to conduct domestic flight tests!

Once again, Sheffield is at the center of public opinion. Without exception, it once again has a positive image and is focusing on emerging industries. This seems to be very beneficial, at least it has a good reputation.

Of course, this does not rule out the fact that a series of royal literati, such as the New York Daily News, are shamelessly flattering their bosses. However, citizens have sharp eyes and seeing is believing. In the eyes of many people, the boss of United Company is the one who promotes the development of the times.
