Chapter 664 Imperial Russian Mission
"You bastard, what did you do to my daughter?" Sheffield was greeted by the former steel king's face with slobber. Obviously, for Carnegie, Sheffield's visit and words were completely impure motives.
Regarding the furious Steel King, Sheffield didn't have any general knowledge because of his age. He just said in a calm voice, "Don't be so excited. We are not strangers. I am here this time for the benefit of both families."
As I said, this is all consensual behavior between children and has nothing to do with me."
"You bastard, no one in the upper class of the country knows your style. Why did the DuPont family go to the banking industry? Why did the Mellon family's bank become a shareholder of three companies? Your participation was an accident every time. If you were there every time,
Is that still an accident? Even my steel company has you as a factor."
Carnegie's accusations against Sheffield were very sharp. I have to say that the other party was right and directly exposed the nature of slave owners. However, not all of these accusations were true. For example, regarding the steel company, Sheffield remembered it correctly. It seemed that Carnegie took the initiative in the first place.
What I wanted to sell was that I was just a taker at the suggestion of Rockefeller Jr.
"I didn't expect that you have such a deep prejudice against me. Do we have any moral conflicts? It seems that except that you like to do charity and I never do charity, there shouldn't be any?" Sheffield said.
Sitting down, I originally thought it was a happy marriage, but now it seems that the Steel King is prejudiced against him, is that okay? He can't let his son's happiness fly away.
"Old sir, what kind of husband do you want for your daughter?" the slave owner asked, lighting a cigarette and preparing for a long-term war of resistance.
"The main reason is that she likes it!" Carnegie was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "I haven't thought about this problem."
"That's easy. Do you think your daughter Margaret will give her body to a man if she doesn't like it?" Sheffield said confidently, but in fact he was not sure at all. He was in the league before
When I was in college, all I had to do was hand over my son, get the woman drunk with wine, and then cook the rice.
He didn't follow her to Arizona in person, so how could he possibly know whether she was really in love or whether she had resorted to some tricks, but it didn't matter, it was okay not to be honest.
This question from the soul also directly stopped Carnegie. He didn't know how to respond for a while. Sheffield took the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot and made a cut in a sense, "You know, little William is Edith and I.
My child, due to marriage laws, is an illegitimate child, but that doesn’t mean he is a bad person. In fact, because of my busy schedule, he has always been influenced by the Rockefeller family. You should also know that the culture of their family
What is it like? Obeying the rules and being serious about words, that's what little Rockefeller was like."
"That is completely different from my personality, so if you think I am a bad person and a bastard, then my son is definitely not because his personality is completely opposite to mine."
"And don't think that I want to devour your industry. It's not ten years ago when you used the dollars from selling your company to become the richest man. Now I am the richest man in the United States. And if I don't do charity, this wealth will be retained.
For a long time, Mr. Carnegie was regarded as a rich man in front of me, but that was it. Even I myself have decided to hand over the shares of the steel company to Edith's child, your daughter now
partner."
These words are quite heart-wrenching. Basically, they just say that Carnegie is still considered a rich man among ordinary citizens. But in front of him, the current richest man in the United States, his wealth is not very significant.
"What if I just don't marry my daughter to your child?" Carnegie asked angrily, "What will you do to me? Treat me like you did Dupont and Mellon?"
"I definitely can't do anything to you. But I can still do what I want to others. I wonder who dares to steal a woman from my son?" Sheffield responded lightly, "I humbly say that in this country,
There should be none. If there is, I will send him to see Lincoln."
"Actually, I'm not particularly disgusted with you!" Carnegie said something that shocked Sheffield. The word "really fragrant" suddenly appeared in the slave owner's mind, and then he heard, "Marriage is not impossible, I
I also hope that my daughter can find a good home."
"Then why did you accuse me just now?" Sheffield asked, dumbfounded, "It makes no sense."
"I just want to accuse the richest man now." Carnegie straightened his back and looked like you have nothing to do with me. "Now that you are here to beg me, can't I, an old man, still show off?"
If it weren't for Carnegie's physical condition and the possibility of his death, Sheffield would have been afraid that he could not help but slap the old man. Now he fully understands why the old Rockefeller hates this bastard in his heart. It's just nothing.
Anyone who is looking for trouble can make a fortune?
"When Margaret comes of age, let two people get married, right?" Carnegie jumped left and right and almost missed the slave owner's waist, pointing at himself and said, "You can also see that I am already very old.
The sooner you get married, the better."
"Of course I have no problem." Sheffield responded blankly, not having recovered from the state where the Steel King was jumping left and right. "I will give the two of them a very good gift. Now that I think about it, I feel a little bit shortchanged."
Now. The steel company has gone full circle, doesn’t that mean it’s back in your hands again?”
"Thank you for your comfort, but this joke is not funny." Carnegie was not fooled by Sheffield's words, but still said that he agreed to the marriage of his two children, which represented the official marriage of the two families.
In any case, Sheffield has achieved its goal, and now it just needs to wait for Margaret Carnegie to come of age.
"Oh, my dear son, you don't need to thank me. If you are well versed in accelerationism, there are faster ways to achieve your goal, such as making Margaret's belly bigger." Sheffield, who contacted his son,
He did not change his rhetoric and instilled the latest guidelines into William Rockefeller.
"Father, we still need to cultivate feelings." Anyway, Sheffield was no longer in front of him. William Rockefeller rarely rolled his eyes and mustered up the courage to reject his father's bad idea.
"Then it's up to you. In fact, as long as the goal is achieved in the end, the process is not very important. As long as you understand what I say." Sheffield did not have any intention of completely controlling his son's entire life, "Don't talk to your uncle.
Same, in fact everyone does the same thing, he has to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor, and I am always the bad guy. Although when it comes to doing business, the hypocrisy of the Rockefeller family has its advantages, it hurts!"
"Who are you talking about? How come our Rockefeller family is so hypocritical?" William Rockefeller looked speechless. Listening to Edith Rockefeller's dissatisfaction on the other end of the phone, he even figured out what happened.
"That's basically what happened. Carnegie and I talked about it, and you two will get married after you graduate from college." Sheffield's voice came again, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first!"
He was still about to say something, but a busy signal came from the microphone. William Rockefeller could only smile bitterly and said to himself, "In fact, it can be considered happiness, right? We fight and make trouble every day!"
May is the most comfortable month in the northern hemisphere. The spring flowers are blooming but it is not too hot. There is another major event for the United States today. After visiting London, the Imperial Russian Embassy officially set foot on the soil of the United States.
"What if I find a way to delay for a while, history proceeds as scheduled, and the war breaks out? Is there a chance to hold the Russian royal family in the United States?" Sheffield's imagination was wide open. He actually did this when he was colluding with Rasputin.
idea.
It's just that he didn't expect that Nicholas II's wife actually brought the princess to visit. The slave owner thought that she would not come before. This proved that the magician was really doing well in the upper echelons of the Russian Empire.
The imperial Russian mission received a warm welcome as soon as it disembarked in New York, and the scene was no less grand than the welcome received in London. There is not much Russian population around New York.
"New Yorkers are not surprised. They will look down upon a foreigner." Sheffield commented with a hint of sarcasm. Now he still wants to think about how to make the Imperial Russian mission spend some time, and then a war breaks out in Europe, so that the queen and princess can do their best.
