Chapter 62 United Fruit Company

Although there is pressure from the British outside and the impact of the economic depression inside, all people can feel in this oak manor is comfort and tranquility. Under the huge canopy, Sheffield and Anne lie on the deck chair, and time passes.

More than a dozen guests arrived one by one and asked to sit down.

Among the group of people who came, Gale, who had been here last time, was also among them. When he saw Anne next to Sheffield, he greeted her politely, "Before you came to New Orleans, I heard that you went to Europe.

I never expected that the daughter of an earl would be so beautiful that any man could envy her."

"The word kidnapping is not a good word. My family no longer engages in the labor trade. Anne came to the United States to go to school and will go to the Austin campus in a while!" Sheffield shook his finger and corrected the other person's description.

Error, and then his eyes fell on other people. Not everyone knew them, there were some strangers here, but they should all be Brazilian plantation owners like Gael.

But when it came to a man, Sheffield's gaze lingered for a moment, and he shook his head inwardly. What's his skin color? There was nothing wrong with this young man's dress, but he had some features of people of color. To put it bluntly, he was mixed blood! But there was no such thing.

Black people are so serious, and in today's American South, this is a big or small thing.

Discrimination in southern states has always been more serious than in the north. Although it is actually the same, the Dixie people do not hide it and the Yankee people do not talk about it, but this matter can be big or small. You must know that many laws exist.

If this man's appearance was explained by the One Drop of Blood Principle, he would be a black man.

The mixed race in Latin American countries is very serious, and those who can maintain their white appearance are a minority among the minority. The white people defined by Latin Americans in later generations are actually the appearance of the alien Ronaldo. As for the Latin Americans themselves, people from other ethnic groups around the world

Whether you think they are also white is another matter.

"What's going on?" Sheffield called Gale out under the guise of getting the wine himself. Sheffield asked about this person. "Although it's not serious, it's still a bit obvious."

"He is the son of a maid. Unfortunately, his father's other non-mixed children are all girls. The plantation can't be passed on to women, right?" Gale explained helplessly, "You also know that Brazil's definition of ethnic groups is better than

The United States was much more relaxed, and no one expected that there would eventually be a fight, but his stance was definitely on our side, and McHale's estate recruited many soldiers to fight against the Paris government forces."

"Fortunately, he came to Louisiana. If he had gone to a state heavily influenced by Virginia, he would have been identified as black just by looking at his appearance." Sheffield said weakly, "But there is nothing we can do about it.

The New Orleans family still has some connections, and besides, the law governs those civilians. We are the heroes of the United States. We have shed blood and sweat for the United States in the past, so there is nothing we can do."

The two of them were walking and chatting. Sheffield said slowly, "What we are best at is plantations. I believe you will not deny this. You have lived in Brazil for a long time. Everything has two sides. You have two sides to the subtropical climate."

You should be well aware of the climate. Except for a few limited seaside lands in Louisiana, the climate in the entire United States is actually relatively cold. For tropical fruits and crops, we have long relied on imports."

The climate in North America is really unpredictable. Although in a broad sense, all ethnic groups from North America to South America are called Indians, the Indians there are actually completely different. The environment in the United States is actually similar to that of the Great Wall north of the Great Wall.

Grassland is a standard nomadic area, and the Indian groups in the United States are also mainly nomadic.

It is certainly impossible for the center of civilization in the Americas to have to check whether the Arctic cold current wants to blow southward and blow the wind in the United States every few years. In fact, it is precisely because the Arctic cold current goes south without any hindrance that the Indians in North America are harvested every few years.

, so it is impossible to develop into a civilization, or even become a stable agricultural country.

The centers of Indian civilization are in places such as southern Mexico, Honduras, and Panama. The climate there is not harvested by the Arctic cold current.

In the industrial age, the characteristics of the United States that were beneficial to industry came into play. In the agricultural age, North America was really not a good place. For Latin America, it was equivalent to the Huns and Turks of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The current territory of the United States does not have much land with a subtropical climate. It is only a little more than the Republic of Hainan. But there are nearly 80 million people there. If you say there is no demand for sweet tropical fruits, no one will tell you.

believe.

There are many needs, regardless of the fact that the United States is right next to Latin America, but they mainly meet the needs of the old imperialist countries in Europe first, and ignore the weak link of imperialism in the United States.

"Actually, whether it's slaves or hired workers, it's just a formality. Even without this formality, we can still open the plantation wherever we want, right?" During the chat, Sheffield said his own

Purpose said, "We have a deeper understanding of the tropical climate than the Yankees. No one knows better than us what kind of land is suitable for growing what kind and how to obtain the greatest benefits. We are still citizens of the United States and have an obligation to make tropical crops with high nutritional value

Fruits and crops come into the United States. And the wealth you bring out of Brazil can be reinvested into the United States."

"It seems that William, you already have a good investment place, and you even have an idea." As soon as Gale heard this, he knew that Sheffield had a plan, and he immediately asked as if he was all ears.

"I just had a little immature idea. After all, our foundation is there! The port of New Orleans is an excellent location facing Latin America. Another important port, Houston, also has my family's industry. My family's shipping company was used to sell people.

, now it is completely possible to switch to packaging tropical fruits. The conditions are there, plus you have brought experienced manpower adapted to the tropics, it can be said that all the basic conditions are met for this matter!" Sheffield said with a smile, "It still needs to be done.

Take a stand in our areas of expertise and join forces to control the channels through which these fruits are imported into the United States."

After returning to the shade of the tree with the drink in hand, Sheffield put on a sincere smile like a brother, poured a glass of wine for each person, and said, "Dear friends, welcome back to your homeland, please don't worry about Brazil.

The result is sad. Sooner or later, they will pay the price for recovery. The more that messy country has nothing to miss, we have a more mature plantation model, and we have this foundation."

With Gale's help, Sheffield stated his thoughts in detail, analyzed the advantages he had, and finally said, "In order to show the unity among Dixie people, this company can
