Coubertin got what he wanted. Although a hundred thousand dollars in sponsorship is a huge sum of money to anyone, for Standard Oil, a company that frequently donates tens of millions of dollars, it is far from being a pain in the ass.

Unlike Sheffield, it is known that agricultural products accumulate wealth slower than industrialization. The Sheffield family has no money, only land.

Can you stop pretending? Annie's face is burning. When it comes to money, why doesn't she fit the image of a sunny boy? Doesn't it mean she doesn't know how much land her family has? Why did she spend millions to invest in United Fruit Company without blinking an eye?

Fake?

"Isn't it money to organize a team to participate in the Olympics? Isn't it money to appeal to newspapers in Latin American countries? Isn't it money to set up competition bonuses? This is just small money, and later it will be big money!" Sheffield, who reached out to rub Anne's earlobe, had a look on his face.

Heartbroken, why can't my female partner understand my painstaking efforts?

"The federal government must speak up and let them allocate funds to support this matter." Sheffield said to the Rockefeller siblings, "This is a national matter, and we, the private patriots, should not be asked to pay for it."

"This is difficult. Next year is an election year. Moreover, the economy has been depressed in the past few years. It is only now somewhat stable. The federal government has no money!" Rockefeller Jr. frowned slightly and shook his head. "Nothing is more important than the election. Let the federal government

The government is interested in holding a sports meeting for the first time next year, and if I were from the government, I would not agree."

"John is right, and it is unreasonable for private citizens to participate in sports games and let the federal government pay for them." Edith Rockefeller said on her brother's side, "There is no reason to do this."

"I just mentioned casually, of course the federal government can disagree, and I will let the federal government know if it doesn't agree." Sheffield old god said, "But since I will participate in a private name, everything will be decided by me.

.All honors have nothing to do with the federal government, because they are privately sponsored by me and my partners."

"I don't understand. It's just like your Rockefeller family gave millions of kerosene lamps to China ten years ago to establish a good relationship. Although after giving the kerosene lamps to the Chinese, because Standard Oil is the largest oil merchant,

You make your money back again, but you still get thanked by others." Sheffield mentioned the past of the Rockefeller family.

About ten years ago in China, the Standard Company created a whole new market for itself. It gave away millions of cheap oil lamps so that the Chinese could buy and light Standard's kerosene, which became known as "The Light of Asia."

"Light", in this way, Standard Oil gradually expanded the oil market from Europe to Asia, and then to the world.

To be fair, although the purpose is not pure, Rockefeller still fares better in China than in the United States. In China, Rockefeller's Standard Oil is far from being so conscientious. This operation is comparable to the conscience of American imperialism, but in this era, it is only

To be able to do this, American businessmen play this role in the world. They must be more conscientious than European businessmen, regardless of whether they are willing or not.

The United States is still a brave dragon slayer. To become an evil dragon, at least Europe will be in ruins and become the undoubted center of the world's police economy. Only then can the mask of hypocrisy be torn off.

If the federal government is not prepared to come forward to share the cost, then all the profits will naturally belong to him and Rockefeller Jr., the sponsor. Just because Sheffield is a citizen of the United States, he must not give a share to the country. Capitalists have no motherland, so this matter must be divided

clear.

Now that he has boarded the pirate ship, Rockefeller Jr. can only agree. In his eyes, the status of Sheffield as a partner is far more important than that of the federation, which does not know what it is doing. Not only does the federation not provide convenience to big companies, but it also

Always looking for trouble with antitrust laws, it's obvious who Rockefeller Jr. is leaning toward.

"There is still one year left to select athletes to participate in the Olympic Games. What's more, we have enough technology in the pharmaceutical industry, so this is not a problem." Young Rockefeller felt that it was still early, and it would definitely not be a problem to astonish everyone with his skills at the Olympics.

This is completely consistent with Sheffield's judgment, and he feels the same way, but instead of Rockefeller using medicine, he can use a different approach to accomplish all this with a lot of training and practice. Let the people who are most suitable for track and field participate in track and field.

Use people who are talented in high jump to participate in the high jump.

This is not a new operation in the national system. Later republics and Soviets have done this, and the results have proven to be very significant.

With national interests as the highest goal, relevant resources and forces are mobilized nationwide. The state pays for the allocation of excellent coaches and hardware and software facilities, and centrally selects, cultivates, and trains talented and outstanding athletes to participate in international sports events such as the Olympic Games.

A sports system that competes with other countries in competitions, strives for excellent results, breaks records, and wins gold medals.

Sheffield feels that this method, in the current environment, is very suitable for showing the image of the United States on the international stage, just like the Soviet Union after World War II and the Republic after the Cold War. The international environment requires the country to achieve results at a certain level.

Stabilize the people and strive for national honor.

The United States is in such a position now. Compared with the old imperialist countries in Europe, the United States has completely insufficient voice and national image. It cannot solve problems through war. If Britain, France, and Germany just stand up, the United States will all be younger brothers. Not to mention returning

It owes Europe billions of dollars in debt.

In essence, if Europe had not been unable to bear it and acted first, giving the United States a chance to clear its debts, the debt situation of the United States would be almost the same as that of later African countries who were forced to pay debt by the World Bank.

"Once an athlete achieves good results, we can completely use him to contribute to our cause. For example, you can say that this athlete broke through his physical limits by taking products from Rockefeller Pharmaceuticals.

, became the fastest man in the world. When the time comes, give him a false reputation and status and become an agent for our major industries. This will save a lot of money. It is better than investing money in useless things like charity.

It can benefit oneself and be patriotic at the same time, so it can be regarded as a model of public-private partnership."

"John, what William said makes sense!" Before Rockefeller Jr. could speak, Edith Rockefeller was the first to say that she very much agreed with Sheffield's idea, and it was true that the latter had been carrying a heavy burden in Chicago recently.
