The fifty-eighth palm, the son of a peasant

Who makes Europe strong? Naturally, it can create stereotypes for people in other countries. This is not a new thing. If the United States can get a copycat empire at the national level, and citizens can get a person who is stupid and makes a lot of money, it will be good. Together.

European empires are special, always wandering on the road of whether they are Europeans or not.

Russia is really very powerful, and Europeans think it is a member of Europe and an inevitable and important part of maintaining order. If Russia is not very powerful, Russians may become Asians at any time. It is so true to praise the superior and suppress the inferior.

Even Rockefeller's sister likes to live the life of a European aristocrat. This kind of influence brought by the power of the country is not immune to even the families of the richest man in the United States, let alone ordinary people.

This is not new at all. In Hollywood movies, yellow people are taciturn and inconsistent. But in the hearts of some people in the Republic, Southeast Asians are always monkeys and no one can criticize them. The only difference is whether the country is strong or not.

It has nothing to do with personal qualities.

When leaving Rockefeller Manor, Rockefeller Jr. came out to say goodbye. Although the two of them had not finalized any specific cooperation at all, a good attitude was a good start. Besides, this was not just a matter of their upper lips touching their lower lips.

What can be finalized involves a professional team of managers to finalize the details regarding the future distribution of interests, as well as in which areas to cooperate and in which areas to keep distance.

"You rich Americans really know how to enjoy life!" After leaving Rockefeller Manor, Anne held Sheffield's arm and said in a daze, "Meeting the richest man in the United States just one day after arriving in the United States is like a dream. The richest man's sister married

I went to Chicago, what kind of city is Chicago, isn’t it beautiful?”

"It's almost the same as the Ruhr area!" Sheffield glanced at the girl's pretty face and said teasingly, "If you don't dislike the environment there, I can take you there."

Chicago is a leading region in the steel industry, machinery manufacturing, agricultural technology, trade, culture and education. Chicago's industries are mainly steel, metal, food processing, electronics, petroleum processing, printing and transportation machinery and equipment industries.

Among them, the steel industry ranks first in the United States.

You can tell at a glance that most of these industries are heavily polluting. Wudalian Lake was deeply affected, and the Mississippi River accumulated massive amounts of heavy metals. It was not until the Cold War that special treatment began. However, this can only be done

Some surface areas, such as Lake Wudalian and the Mississippi River, have already been dumped by industries for a century, resulting in accumulated sediment rich in heavy metals. This is how carp was introduced to the United States, and the United States also relies on carp to act as cleaners to control pollution.

However, the story of a brave man turning into a dragon happened again, and disasters began to spread across North America.

Although Chicago is the steel center of the United States, and it can conveniently use the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River as garbage dumps, it is not within Sheffield's itinerary. In line with the original intention of picking up the weak persimmons, he will not do so at this stage.

Why are you conflicting with this king or that king? Instead, prepare to cultivate your internal strength first, start from the corners, and clean up the miscellaneous fish first. Without the interference of other people, you can try to make progress.

Even if you are developing towards the goal of an industry giant, you must first develop from small industries. Start with agriculture-related industries and encroach little by little. Machinery is of course very important, but the foothold is still agricultural machinery.

Chicago actually has a very powerful presence in the field of agricultural machinery, and that is Rockefeller Jr.'s brother-in-law, International Harvester Company, which has been invested by Rockefeller.

The American South and its planters were reborn with the cotton gin, and the harvester enabled great advances in northern agriculture. At that time, the key obstacle to the development of commercial agriculture south of the Ohio River was that a farmer could only harvest half an acre of wheat per day.

The growth cycle of wheat is also very unfavorable to farmers. They may mature after two weeks, or they may be overripe and fall to the ground at once, with ears completely falling off within two days. Farmers are troubled by harvest work every year.

The harvester invented by Mr. McCormick is equipped with a ground-wheel-driven cutting knife, a reel and an ear-gathering table. It can not only cut the wheat, but also automatically organize the cut wheat and stack it neatly at the back.

On the workbench, the harvesting speed was three times faster than manual work. Later, McCormick came to Chicago. He built a factory on the north bank of the Chicago River in a place with very convenient rail transportation and water, and it became the International Harvester Company.

However, Sheffield does not need to cooperate with the other party. It only needs to build a factory for production. The reason is very simple. The patent related to the harvester has expired long ago. You must know that it has been more than fifty years since the harvester appeared. There is no law.

will protect the patent for such a long period of time.

Now Sheffield is still preparing to base itself on the core of the family, which is agricultural issues. At the same time, this is also the idea of ​​an agricultural empire that the Democratic Party has always advocated, which is inseparable from a variety of agricultural machinery. Among them, tractors are the most important.

mechanical.

When the United States dominated the world in later generations, among the most unbreakable hegemonies, the strong agricultural hegemony was even more stable than industry. After all, it is not that there are no countries that are close to or even exceed the scale of the United States' industry, but there are no countries that can take into account agriculture, because the Republic's

With a huge population, agriculture can only guarantee self-sufficiency, and we cannot expect them to do more.

Russia, with its vast territory, sparse population and location in a cold zone, cannot challenge the agriculture of the United States. As for Brazil? This country's industry is too backward. Compared with the United States, which is strong in industry and agriculture, other countries are more or less at a disadvantage.

Forty years ago, Alabart of France invented the earliest steam-powered tractor. A miniaturized steam engine appeared, which was installed on the vehicle chassis to drive the wheels, allowing it to drive from the edge of the field into the field and directly pull agricultural machinery.

Then the tractor was born.

As for tractors powered by internal combustion engines, which have only appeared a few years ago, it is not too late for Sheffield to enter this field. Moreover, it has a German patent for internal combustion engines. Geographically, oil exists in Texas.

There is no need to worry about technology or fuel. With Rockefeller's assistance, he is sure to crush his opponents.

After entering Texas, the huge livestock and endless pastures and farmland caught Annie's eyes, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful."
