Chapter 76 Business Integrity

How to make workers have greater enthusiasm for work, more physical strength, and obtain maximum output in the minimum time has always been what operators strive for. It is natural for Rockefeller to invest the profits obtained from operations in this aspect. Yes, after all, as a role model for the United States, this is a social obligation that I must shoulder.

Only a very small part of the reason is for the health of his father's generation. Only if the old Rockefeller's body remains healthy can he serve the United States better, which is also for the better development of the country.

When personal interests and social responsibilities merged, the Rockefeller family entered the pharmaceutical industry in a large scale and recruited talents in the pharmaceutical industry to work for themselves. The results are of course remarkable. Compared with marijuana, morphine, a drug used in medicine for generations, is now in the hands of the Rockefeller family. Of course there are the latest research results.

As for whether athletes' bodies will change in the future, isn't it the obligation of a citizen to sacrifice for the country? This is the world. Some people contribute money and others contribute. Rockefeller Jr. and Sheffield are the former, but now we need the latter to join us. .

"We can even take this opportunity to popularize sports, even setting up a foundation to promote sports projects!" Sheffield seems to have thought of more ambitious goals, and there is an unstoppable trend when it comes to this issue. More anxious than the managers negotiating with both sides of the estate behind him.

If Coubertin and the Olympic Committee behind him are only understood as a one-shot deal or a positive image, Sheffield feels that this is a bit superficial, and a wave of patriotic business is just a short-term gain. In fact, after extending downwards, There are also more long-term benefits. Does promoting sports require sports equipment? Can sports equipment generate profits?

Even this is not the biggest benefit. The biggest benefit is that it can promote quality education. Because Coubertin's ideas can be said to be a model of happy education to a certain extent. As early as a few years ago, Coubertin targeted students because of their academic problems. The problem of being overweight and overworked arises: the only solution is to let children play.

Of course, Sheffield believed that Coubertin had good intentions, but it did not prevent him from reading the scriptures wrongly. If Sheffield had the final say, he certainly hoped that citizens could be more stupid, so that they could be easily fooled. What is the use of learning? ?Isn’t it painful when you enter society after studying for a long time and find that society doesn’t need you?

The pillars of talent in these countries are suffering, and Sheffield is suffering just as much. If the United States has a large number of talents, it is inevitable that one or two unique geniuses will appear and have an impact on the existing order.

If students are guided to learn useless habits, then there is no need to worry. When students enter society and hit a wall, they will only regret their past actions, but they cannot blame others. In particular, they cannot blame leaders in various industries, because these leaders As Rockefeller Jr. said, if it weren't for our leadership, you would all starve to death.

Isn't there a saying that takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people? For the future stability of the United States, Sheffield is willing to do anything. Subverting the order is a factor of instability.

"Since I have agreed, I will not go back on it. By the way, I have something to ask. Does William Bryan know you?" Rockefeller asked with a strange expression, "This man doesn't seem to be very friendly to us."

"An ordinary member of the Democratic Party seems to be working as an editor somewhere now?" Sheffield looked thoughtful, and then changed the topic, "What's wrong? It seems that there will be an election next year, or is this person particularly getting your attention? Although

I say my family has a good relationship with the Democratic Party, but there are so many Democrats in the House and Senate, and I can’t possibly know who they all are.”

"This guy is actually working as a newspaper editor now. He criticizes us business leaders and always criticizes us in newspapers." Rockefeller Jr. shook his head slightly and said, "Many people don't like this person.

.”

"That's you. My family is farming and we are not business leaders, at least not yet." Upon hearing this, Sheffield quickly expressed his disapproval. He could never express his opinion casually on this matter.

As a long-time supporter of the Democratic Party, he did not want to get too involved in the election, especially talking about the Democrats with Rockefeller Jr.

"Just pretend I didn't say it!" Rockefeller Jr. smiled, crossed his arms on his chest and teased, "The Sheffield family has always been an important supporter of the Democratic Party, and I have no intention of instigating the relationship between you. I hope my dear friend,

Don’t think too much about this matter, I understand that the interests of farms and plantations in the South are different from those in the North.”

"It's actually no different for Standard Oil. You and I are both companies that rely on international trade. Local is important and international is important. We are both businessmen with an international outlook. High tariffs and low tariffs are neither important to us."

Big problem." Sheffield couldn't understand why an editor would make such a fuss?

Anyway, for Sheffield, raising tariffs would mean smuggling, which is not something he has done before.

"But this man is calling for the passage of labor laws!" Seeing Sheffield's uninterested look, Rockefeller Jr. said, "Does it have anything to do with you now?"

"Let's talk about it at that time. Do you want to go in and see what level the two parties have reached?" Sheffield said he was noncommittal. It was too early to talk about this now.

When it comes to cooperation with such a large company, it is normal for the talks to last for several months. The two people coming in person naturally showed their sincerity and laid a good foundation for the negotiations.

"I think your family's attitude is very problematic!" Soon after, little Rockefeller came back with a voice full of complaints.

"What's wrong? Weren't we talking?" Sheffield, who was holding the black back, was at a loss. The other party had only been in for less than ten minutes, so why did he come out like this?

"The conditions of your home are really too harsh for Standard Oil Company. I must say that I have never seen such an insincere business cooperation." Young Rockefeller was slightly gloomy, but he did not complain or say quickly,

"I have gone through a long period of preparation for today's negotiation, but you have not shown the corresponding sincerity?"

After calling over a bodyguard, Sheffield asked him to walk the black dog on a leash. Sheffield listened to Rockefeller's statement with a solemn expression, finally understanding what the other party meant. "Before there was exploration, all expenses were paid in advance by standard oil? If it was mined,

, the Sheffield family still wants to take half of the profits? Well, it seems a little harsh."

The person who could make Rockefeller sign an unequal treaty does not exist in the United States. Even old Morgan does not have this ability. In fact, this matter is very simple. Is there oil underground in Texas? Young Rockefeller believes that there is no risk before exploration.
