Chapter 75 Patriotic Business

Sheffield does not deny that there are naturally kind people in this world, but the Rockefeller family who established the Standard Oil Trust are definitely not among them. Would kind people create a monopoly? Is it a good feeling to be chased by a group of reporters every day to dig up news?

?

"The donation to the university in Atlanta is more than ten million US dollars, which is a big deal. But you can benefit Atlanta. How many Atlantas are there in the United States? You donate so much money to each one? I think even the Rockefeller family will do this no matter how rich they are.

Can't you?" Sheffield's tone was teasing, and he kept talking about money. The smell of copper all over his body was nauseating.

"After all, our company is not like yours. There is no listed company at all, and the financing is not done in China. No one knows how much money your family has. Moreover, it has also created the role of a Dixie national hero." Little Rockefeller said.

There was a lot of envy and jealousy in his words. Obviously, in front of Sheffield, he didn't care about the persona or not. He frankly admitted that doing charity was to improve the family's reputation, but if he wanted to dismantle Standard Oil, then

It's simply impossible.

Rockefeller knew very clearly about what aspects of public opinion should be taken into account and what aspects must be treated as nothing more than nonsense. It was not that he could not spend money, but he could never abandon the trust operating model.

Even if he had not officially taken over Standard Oil, he understood the difference between taking out a little bit of loose money to buy fame and digging out the foundation for gathering wealth.

"So? There is a good opportunity now. We can get huge fame at a low cost. This is more useful than donating money to charity. If you were not my closest friend and a possible long-term partner in the future, I would not tell you at all.

You, your huge reputation will be owned by me alone!" Sheffield gave up, he believed that the younger Rockefeller was definitely interested.

"What on earth is going on?" Of course little Rockefeller was interested and couldn't wait to ask.

"Do you care about sports?" Seeing the little Rockefeller's inexplicable nod, but the unconcerned look on his face, Sheffield knew that the other person was lying. In fact, he didn't care at all, so he explained, "Anne picked up the phone a few days ago.

A telegram arrived saying that a nobleman named Coubertin from Paris was coming to the United States. This man was an activist for the revival of the Olympic movement and was considered a very influential figure in his field."

"Is this nobleman very rich?" Little Rockefeller asked with a serious face. He just felt that this man had money to burn, otherwise how could he think of doing such a boring thing.

"It's not a question of whether he has money or not, he is one of those rare people..." Rockefeller's words immediately choked Sheffield up. It turned out that the two of them were not on the same channel at all.

However, Rockefeller Jr.'s idea was not wrong in this era. In the eyes of many people, Coubertin is really the Don Quixote in the field of sports. When he founded the Olympic movement, this feat once became the object of ridicule.

The first Olympic Games will not be held until next year. For people today, the Olympic Games are still something that is only reflected in the mirror. You can't just see nothing, so let's take a loan and brag about it first.

After a lot of talking, Sheffield made Rockefeller understand his intentions. He became slightly less interested in this thing called the Olympic Games, but he still had doubts and asked, "Is this useful?"

"If you think about it, Coubertin was a Frenchman. The Olympic Games he organized must have had many athletes from European countries participating. Then our athletes from the United States defeated the Europeans on the field. Isn't this very exciting?

What? When the time comes, we will use some newspapers in China to agitate, making people think that athletes are bringing glory to the country, and then you and I will be able to surface naturally as the main sponsors of athletes going abroad to bring glory to the country. This is no better than you.

Tens of millions of dollars in donations are more economical? And the Olympics will definitely not be held once. Every time it is held in the future, citizens will think of you and my contribution!" Sheffield talked eloquently, as if you were not my partner.

, I won’t tell you at all.

"But is it useful? Can competing abroad attract so much attention?" Young Rockefeller didn't really believe in Sheffield's judgment. Of course, sponsorship was not a problem. Even if he was not interested, with the establishment of a relationship with the Sheffield family, this amount of money would be enough.

It also belongs to the category of change.

"Do you think the newspaper will only care about your rape of a female college student?" Sheffield curled his lips and sneered.

"You have to provide evidence when you speak. I have never done this." Rockefeller was furious. Where Sheffield heard about this is not important. The important thing is that he really has never done it.

There are a lot of bodyguards around. If word of this got out, they wouldn't be able to wash themselves away even if they jumped into the Mississippi River.

"Let me just say this. You have never done this. Can you guarantee that other rich people have not done this? We are so rich. Is it because God has given us extra care for the sake of being saints?"

Sheffield said to be patient, he was just giving an example.

In later generations, the cost of university education in the United States was enough to make it unaffordable for ordinary families, so many fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged people chose to find a sponsor to help them complete their studies. This is not a secret thing. It exists in all countries, but in the United States

It just formed an industrial chain.

As for the real wealthy class, they are born with money, like to seek excitement, have some special hobbies and so on. Sheffield can completely understand that, even if they like to kill, that is their freedom.

"In fact, we know from the protests against newspapers in various places that citizens are patriotic. I can't think of a business that is more rewarding than being patriotic!" After Sheffield appeased the younger Rockefeller, he continued, "Our economy is generally

The military strength is sufficient, but there is not enough military power, so they are still being humiliated by the British. Citizens also need a vent. When citizens know that the athletes defeated Europeans on European territory, think about the scene.

, will it be more sensational than the current protest newspapers in various places speaking for the British? You taste it, you taste it carefully!"

"Patriotic business?" If little Rockefeller regarded everything Sheffield just said as nonsense, the words "patriotic business" successfully moved him, and he nodded lightly and said, "Then give it a try!"

"Now I just have a little question!" Sheffield asked in an unusually shy voice, "Is there any medicine in your medical laboratory that can help athletes achieve good results?"
