As the first choice for new materials, plastic has strong development potential. After Baekeland began to recognize the reality, Sheffield began to take over. At this moment when the plastic patent holder was desperate, it was just right.

Why is it just right? This is also closely related to Baekeland's identity as an entrepreneur. This can be compared with another level of examples. For many small countries, being a dog is a way to pass. For example, Thailand, this template is similar to Japan

Countries that have not been taken over previous routes.

Although the people of this country need to change their gender to please foreign guests, and children have been exposed to the cruel Muay Thai since they were young. If they are not careful, they will die in the ring, but this does not delay the fact that Thailand has the most luxurious royal family and a number of multinational groups. The people at the bottom

Aren't you living a happy life?

The basic conditions of these countries are like this, and they have not caught up with the tiny gaps that appeared in the rotation of the old and new eras like Japan, so they can only be a dog while enjoying the hardships. Anyway, our ancestors were not rich, but for a big country, anyone can be a dog.

No, it's a crime to even think about it.

Baekeland has not yet witnessed the development of the plastics industry and the subsequent rush for plastic products. It belongs to this category that has never been broadened in our ancestors. Even if we see this scene in the future, the citizen class will only attribute the credit to the promotion.

It is very questionable how much spotlight will fall on Baekeland in Sheffield.

Fortunately, Sheffield also had a temporary residence in New York, but he did not go there. Instead, he went to the Vanderbilt family's Biermont Manor. First of all, it was big enough and luxurious enough. The debtor came and asked the Vanderbilt family to live there.

The members were very happy. Although this person owed them tens of millions of dollars and refused to repay them, and only paid the interest based on the United Bank's external interest rate, which was 2%, because he had the ability to afford the repayment, it was not a big deal.

"I haven't seen my friend for a long time, so I may have to interrupt you here today." Sheffield thanked several members of the Vanderbilt family who came out to greet him. There were also several children among the members who came out to greet him.

For example, all the members of the Vanderbilt family live with kidney deficiency almost all year round. It is not incomprehensible that the family is growing rapidly. The Sheffield family is more troublesome. The pressure of carrying forward the burden is all on him.

On this single seedling.

Sheffield had never seen Baekeland before, but judging from his haggard face, he believed that he must have been under invisible pressure for a long time.

It seems that litigation is a common torment for both East and West. It seems that different social systems are unable to eradicate this problem, and Sheffield has no way to comfort it. This kind of problem may also require a society with the blessing of high technology.

Only when changes occur, so that everyone has nowhere to hide, can this problem be solved only by adding a highly efficient system.

Sheffield comforted Baekeland in a very perfunctory manner, and Sheffield said that all the problems were his own fault. Of course, the slave owner had the confidence to say this, because this was not a problem in the first place, and the problem was caused by the slave owner himself.

Then the topic inevitably shifted to plastic patents. Under normal circumstances, Sheffield hated using words to package his speech, but that didn't mean he didn't have the ability. If he got serious in the field of words, even little Morgan couldn't ignore his existence.

Sheffield was able to deal with a very junior player like Baekeland with ease, and asked Baekeland about his vision for the development of the plastics industry.

He even expressed his willingness to use the power of the joint company to inject capital and support, which was completely as if I didn't have to worry.

The reason why I say this is because Baekeland expressed his vision for this industry and believed that it will be a multi-million dollar market. After hearing this, Sheffield, a slave owner, smiled very brightly and started his own business.

The observer's vision is still limited. Maybe millions of dollars is an unimaginable astronomical figure for Baekeland.

But what the other party said is also true. Even if Sheffield tells the other party now that the business he is discussing with Morgan is worth hundreds of millions, the other party may only believe it with suspicion, because the foundations of the two parties are different, and Baekeland still needs to grow.

.

"I am willing to spend two million US dollars to help Mr. Baekeland build a factory and realize his dream after winning the lawsuit. Mr. Baekeland may be very surprised and wonder if my support is too great. To be honest, of course it is, but for me

Generally speaking, there are so many emerging industries that need to be promoted. I am a person who is anxious by nature and hope to see results as quickly as possible. This has led to the fact that although there are many examples of failures, I have also seized the development of several industries, such as

United Motors Corporation."

Sheffield was very surprised to see Baekeland, and launched a new round of Yunshan Mist Mask's verbal attack, explaining the logic, indicating that he was not particularly optimistic about the plastics industry, but just wanted to see the effect in the shortest time. If this

If the industry fails, get out as soon as possible and look for the next outlet.

Baekeland stared blankly at the young man in front of him. His image instantly grew taller. What does it mean to be a successful person? Successful people buy the most expensive things, not the best ones.

The premise is that Sheffield is not optimistic about the plastics industry, which is of course false. But the scene must be sufficient. The first investment is a figure that Baekeland cannot imagine, making Baekeland unable to think about the whole number. Then there is the discussion of profit distribution.

The thing is, judging from the proportion of investment, it should be natural that slave owners should account for the majority of profits. With an investment of two million US dollars, this is not paper.

After investing such a large sum of money, Sheffield's request for patent sharing is not an excessive request. He only requires that the plastic patent be jointly owned by Baekeland himself and the United Company, which is also very normal. We all develop the plastic industry together, and there are two interests.

Eight allocations, two for Baekeland and eight for Sheffield, are very reasonable.

After such calculations, Baekeland himself felt that the boss of the United Company in front of him was such a generous person. Facing an industry whose life and death were uncertain and no one knew the future, he was actually willing to invest huge sums of money to give it a try. If it succeeded,

It can almost be said that he is the noble person he has met in his life.

"Thank you. I am very willing to promote the progress of the times. This is the happiest thing for me. As a human being, you must have a pattern." Sheffield accepted Baekeland's praise with a smile.

When Baekeland left Biermont Manor, the rising air of decadence was swept away, and his high-spirited fighting spirit was restored. Sheffield blew lightly on the contract that was still wet with ink, thinking that if one day, the little boy

If Morgan came to negotiate with cash, what would be the appropriate price for him? This decision would depend on the age. The slave owner thought, why should it be more expensive than this time? People should go to higher places.

Sheffield himself did not leave Biermont Manor immediately. When he came to New York, he always greeted his creditors and took the initiative to raise the debt issue. "When Mr. Vanderbilt II was still alive, he once claimed the family property."

The unexpected speed of reduction is full of worries. I can say bluntly that, except for the original New York peripheral railway system, the Vanderbilt family's transformation can be regarded as a failure. As for the real estate business, it is not a failure.

But this business has limitations."

The United States is a vast and sparsely populated country, and there are only a few places suitable for real estate development. New York, the city chosen by the Vanderbilt family, was already the most suitable city in the United States for real estate development, but it is still unsatisfactory.

Such a good foundation is only barely satisfactory. Sheffield said that the failure of the Vanderbilt family's transformation is not an exaggeration. "I will exchange the twenty million dollars for shares of United Automobile Company and hand them over to your family when the time comes. That's it."

I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Vanderbilt II for his help when the Sheffield family was in urgent need of funds. I believe that there are certain traces in the railway and automobile fields, and the status of the Vanderbilt family will be more stable."

"But United Automobile Company is not a listed company, so where do you get the stocks?" Vanderbilt IV asked in confusion.

There is indeed a reason for the decline of the Vanderbilt family! Sheffield looked at the other party deeply. This uncomfortable look finally had an effect. Vanderbilt IV asked, "United Automobile Company

Is it going to go public?”

"If the news leaks out, I may not come to look for trouble, but others may." Sheffield reminded Vanderbilt IV to keep it confidential. It is not appropriate to leak such business secrets now.

Fortunately, Vanderbilt IV also allowed reason to occupy his brain again for the sake of paying back the money. When he reminded himself not to go out to attend a cocktail party, he said it out loud.

If you think about it with your brain, you will know that if Sheffield United Motors can be merged and listed, the other party must have a good background, and Vanderbilt IV should not cause trouble.

Once this merger is successful, the first direct consequence is that Sheffield should pay back the money. It will no longer be possible to use Union Bank's external interest, which is 2%, to pay its previous creditors. Once the listing plan of the Morgan Alliance is

If it is made public, how can the slave owner have any excuse not to pay back the money?

Therefore, the slave owner did not feel that the price he was asking for in this transaction was excessive. He did not ask for such a large amount of money for himself, but for the sake of the vast number of southern farmers and allies.

This is a bit late, but when I think about the fact that Standard Oil did not distribute dividends for ten years when it was founded, which can be regarded as another way of not paying back money, I still have a good conscience. The conscience of the Rockefeller family is mainly
