Wanting to make money is nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. In essence, these two methods are used. No one's money is printed out of thin air. However, a hundred years later, companies in the United States often choose the latter and shut down domestic factories.

Laying off skilled workers who require high wages and replacing them with workers from third world countries who are not greedy, in exchange for more profitable financial statements, and improving one's own company's stock, is a way to quench thirst, but it is still possible.

Capitalists don’t have to pay the price, it’s just a group of workers who pay the price. In the environment of the early 20th century, Sheffield had many open source options, and could even try industries that had been eliminated by history, such as airships.

means of transportation.

Now that something has appeared, how can it not have any advantages? Airships can also take off and land vertically!

"Kirov, reporting!" Sheffield said a strange accent in English in front of young Rockefeller.

"Kirov checking in?" Rockefeller Jr. repeated Sheffield's words, with confusion on his face. What does this mean? And why is Sheffield's pronunciation so strange?

What's weird, the Russians in Texas all pronounce it this way! Sheffield ignored the little Rockefeller's strangeness and even took a photo with the huge airship, although he had a premonition that his image would be destroyed by the century.

The original photographic technology was destroyed beyond recognition, but it was done anyway.

In the following days, the younger Rockefeller would often persuade Sheffield not to be aloof and to understand the importance of unity. Maintaining the unity of the class is more important than anything else. Only by uniting can everyone be invincible.

The truth is this, and Sheffield certainly knows it. From a logic point of view, it is only a matter of time before everyone forms a ruling class and completely evolves into a parasite, occupying the brain of the United States and attacking wherever it wants.

If you think you are powerful and do not pay attention to unity, please look at the six oligarchs who emerged after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The final fact is that many people were forced to flee, the United States publicly condemned Putin for a long time, and Khodorkovsky entered

Prison proves that condemnation alone is useless. Rich people should indeed have a sense of crisis. After all, there are so many people who hate the rich in this world.

This is inevitable. According to textbooks, the ultimate stage of capitalism must be imperialism. However, there is also a question of who is the boss and who is the second. Even if this issue is clearly distinguished, Sheffield feels that

It's still a little early. After the world war is over, the United Company's power will definitely become stronger. Then everyone can sit down and talk calmly about whether the top spot in the country should be handed over to William, Sheffield, or

To William Sheffield.

"I sell one million cars a year. Even if the volume profit is not high, it is still 100 million in cash. I have an income of 100 million every year. I have an absolute majority of the shares in United Automobile Company, and then you ask me to divide it.

?" Sheffield finally couldn't stand little Rockefeller's chatter and interrupted, "With the profits from the automobile industry, I can continuously invest in emerging industries. The overall profit of the United Company is not high because I invested too much. It doesn't mean that

The automobile industry is not profitable, so why should I let it out? If it were you, would you let it out?"

"I can calmly refuse on the spot, which is already a great deal of restraint. Please don't regard my kindness as weakness. Today I can kill Mexicans without any scruples. In fact, if I become a citizen of the United States, there is no psychological burden. There are so many immigrants every year.

Even if there is a civil war, I don't care."

This is the first time that Sheffield has talked about his attitude towards the Civil War in front of others. Usually he only talked about it in a joking tone with his woman. But only the slave owner knew that he was very serious when he said this.

thing.

It's no wonder that even Anne in Arlington heard it and felt that little Morgan was too greedy and found it unacceptable.

"I believe that little Morgan will not let you suffer!" Rockefeller thought for a moment and said, "We understand the value of this industry. Not only do we understand it, but many people also understand it."

"You should be more aware of the strength of Black Gold Company!" Sheffield added in front of Rockefeller Jr., changing the subject, "Of course I believe that Morgan Jr., oh, and maybe you, will offer a very good price. Everyone.

I am ethical and I will never suffer any loss. Even though I am in New York, I seem to have the taste of being delivered to my door."

After a few days of thinking, Sheffield was also planning the Morgan Alliance. The auto industry in his hands was very coveted by the other party's group. In fact, he was also very coveted by the other party's certain industries.

I don't know if Ford himself was under pressure in history, but Sheffield didn't feel any pressure anyway. Let's have a good negotiation. In fact, Sheffield didn't have to wait too long, and little Morgan came to the door.

The airship flew close to New York and to the Rockefeller Estate. During this period, he couldn't help but think a lot. Was Sheffield telling himself through this incident that he had found another industry with huge potential that could flourish?

It does mean that. If Morgan is interested, Sheffield can still perform. In desperation, he has to shoulder the responsibility of this era and turn Airship Company into a stock king.

As for the future, aircraft will continue to be invested in development. In the future, airships will be eliminated. It can only be said that the speculators led by young Morgan are unlucky. The industry has been eliminated by the times. The slave owners cannot be blamed.

But obviously, the appearance of an airship is not enough to make young Morgan think about the future. Even if he is an adventurous banker who wants to invest in a physical object when he sees it, the risk is too great.

"Have William been doing well at Rockefeller Manor these past few days?" After little Morgan came to the door, he greeted him with a humble attitude, "I have already seen a huge airship, it is really shocking."

"I almost have to take the bus at a loss." Sheffield scratched his scalp and complained, "The entire United Company relies on the United Automobile Company industry to make profits. The environment is difficult, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Regarding the slave owners' complaints, Little Morgan regarded it as farting. Most of the United Company's properties were not listed on the market. He could not estimate the profits, but the wealth represented by these listed companies was already very scary. Little Morgan

The capital mobilized by Morgan far exceeds this figure, but it is not his own. Most of the properties of the United Company belong to Sheffield. If compared to the property, is Sheffield close to or even surpassing the Rockefeller family?

Little Morgan doesn't know, but he must be much richer than the Morgan family.

"The combined stocks of your listed companies are already close to half of Standard Oil." Little Morgan had to remind him, "This has not yet calculated the value of United Automobile Company. Although I have mobilized a lot of funds, it belongs to one hundred Eighty-nine representatives of the Morgan Alliance.”

"Maybe your family doesn't like money, and everyone in this world has it." Sheffield felt like standing and talking didn't hurt his back, so he directly put a high hat on little Morgan's head.

"I can do my best to help you and let the Democratic Party take control of the federal government again." Little Morgan said very sincerely, "I can even kill Roosevelt to prevent him from posing a threat. Of course, it is best to use other methods. "

Sheffield seemed to be shocked by Morgan's statement. Roosevelt was his father-in-law. With such a close relationship, Morgan actually wanted to kill him?

But even so, compared with the value of United Automobile Company, it is almost negligible. Sheffield said unmoved, "How much is this worth? Is this considered a condition?"

"Then what do you want to do? I've always been the one making the conditions. You're so tight-lipped. I can't tell you my bottom line. I'm afraid you'll trick me?" Little Morgan had to start from the field of speech that he was good at. He escaped from the situation and said in a straightforward tone, "You didn't say a word. I always told you that you didn't negotiate like this."

"United Automobile Company has an annual profit of 100 million, can you afford it? Okay, I understand, you don't want to buy it all, but just merge and acquire part of it, and then put it on the stock market after merger and reorganization. Your Morgan family has always done this." Sheffield calculated logically, "That's it for the automotive industry."

"How about I merge General Motors into United Motors Corporation?" Morgan Jr. suggested, "If we calculate it at half of the current value of General Motors? Isn't that okay?"

"General Motors is just another category in the automobile industry. It is a relatively strong company, but it is still another one!" Sheffield smiled, seeing the little Rockefeller walking from far to near, shaking his head slightly and said, " It’s far from enough. United Automobile Company accounts for 75% of the domestic automobile market. What is General Motors’ market share? It won’t be more than 10% for a few years, right?”

Little Morgan thought for a moment, and suddenly turned around as if feeling something. After seeing little Rockefeller, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm shocked. Why don't you make any sound when you walk?"

"What did you do that was shameful?" Rockefeller asked calmly, sitting directly between the two of them.

"If General Motors is not enough, what about the Telegraph Company? I think you should also understand what an attractive industry this is. If General Motors is not enough, the International Telegraph Company is definitely enough." Little Morgan thought for a moment and said again. The name of a company.

Telegraph? This is an industry that will be eliminated sooner or later! Sheffield shook his head again and asked in a low voice, "My dear friend, can't you come up with some sincere conditions?"

"Then tell me, which piece of industry do you think is more valuable and can be used as a weight?" Little Morgan asked with a sigh.

Sheffield's fingers were tapping rhythmically on the table, as if they were tapping on a keyboard, and he tilted his head and said, "American International Shipping Company, and General Electric, please listen clearly, it's not General Motors, it's General Electric. "
