Chapter 97 Coffee Bean Merchant

It can be said that Coubertin's life in Chicago was comfortable and comfortable. He had two enemies who were willing to help him develop the international Olympic cause in the Western Hemisphere. He even had the idea of ​​absorbing them into the Olympic Committee.

This honor was naturally worthless to little Rockefeller. In the eyes of little Rockefeller, the Laoshizi Games were a typical example of not doing business properly. If a French aristocrat does not do business well, engaging in these things is also not doing business properly. Using money to make money is no better than investing family property.

Is this so-called ideal good?

Sheffield didn't have as many bad habits as Rockefeller Jr. Only Coubertin had such an idea. Sheffield agreed immediately. He had a lifelong consciousness of fighting for the Olympics. The family tradition cannot be low-key.

Compared with Rockefeller Jr., after learning that Sheffield had submitted an application, Edith Rockefeller was also very interested. However, it was rejected without any surprise. Coubertin also had his own problems. First of all, he believed that sports had nothing to do with women.

, it is better for a woman to keep housekeeping and have children honestly.

Sheffield suppressed the laughter in his heart and comforted Edith Rockefeller for a day. He listened to the other party angrily criticize Coubertin for his arrogance towards women. To be fair, Coubertin's thoughts were just common thoughts of this era. Edith Rockefeller was the one.

The times are different. A hundred years from now, perhaps a generation of female leaders will not be warned by female boxers.

But in this era, Edith Rockefeller wanted to keep the Rockefeller surname and run the company with her husband. Is she being rebellious and really treating herself as a queen?

"I should have married into a family that respected me!" Edith Rockefeller looked at Sheffield angrily and complained, "Marrying to Chicago was a mistake."

"Madam, you look at me like this, and I feel a little uneasy. You are eight years older than me, and my father is even worse. He has been in Paris for more than ten years." Sheffield couldn't help but hesitate, and this tone added

With his eyes, even if he was stupid, he could tell who Edith Rockefeller said was the best marriage partner.

The United States can live up to its various great kings, and it is a family headed by a woman. Doesn't this mean that we are talking about our own family?

But isn't there a special situation in the Sheffield family? The first generation defected to the throne midway, while the second generation enjoyed life. It was not until he was an adult that he got the name of Lady Anna.

Sheffield would never believe that Edith Rockefeller fell in love with him due to a misunderstanding. This woman just wanted to find a family where women had rights. Even her husband would not agree to such a thing, and Sheffield would not agree to it.

Before Edith Rockefeller felt sorry for herself, Sheffield saw that it was getting late and said that she wanted to go back to the Farming and Animal Husbandry Association to rest. "Anne will get rid of my wife's care. The environment there is relatively ordinary."

"Oh, what hasn't happened yet? This is about taking care of me!" Edith Rockefeller moved her majestic body in the front and the same exaggerated body in the back, pouting with a hint of lemon, "I give you instructions every day, but I thought it was a thank you.

Where is the next generation mistress of the Field family."

"I am a cautious person and will not step into too obvious pitfalls. It's like I told Coubertin not to go to the black community. If I hadn't sent someone to follow him, he would have been robbed three days ago." Sheffield laughed.

I sighed inwardly, Anne had only lived here for a few days, and already she was completely fucked by Edith Rockefeller. She probably knew when her menstrual period was coming.

If it weren't for the fact that Edith's clothing company was almost established, and Anne knew the clothes of the Paris aristocratic circle very well, Sheffield wouldn't always come to the other party's villa.

The next itinerary has been decided. He will also go to New York to see Rockefeller's headquarters and deal with other things at the same time. Then he will return to Texas to see if McHale and the others can deal with their competitors.

The weather was sunny on the day I left Chicago. In this month, the north has become a little cooler in the morning and evening. It has begun to enter the most changeable season of the year. The weather in the United States is unstable. This is caused by nature. Who makes facing the Arctic a huge problem?

The Hudson Bay on the map is like embracing the arctic cold current.

Rockefeller Jr. fully agreed with Sheffield's desire to go to New York, not because he wanted to show off his unfinished estate, but because the other party took the initiative to go to New York to show his sincerity.

The two of them went to New York to see Coubertin off from the United States. Of course, this was not the main purpose, but it was indeed the reason for the trip. While Sheffield was waiting at the station, he suddenly had a question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.

I happened to ask, "Who is richer, your family or the Morgan family?"

"When it comes to the funds that can be mobilized, it should be the Morgan family. Morgan's influence in finance is too great. But for the industry's leader, Standard Oil's dominance in the oil field is much stronger than Morgan's in finance." Xiao Xiao.

Rockefeller gave his own answer.

This means that Morgan’s capital flow is greater, but it is not necessarily his own money! Although the oil industry cannot be compared with finance in this era, the property of the Rockefeller family may be greater than that of the Morgan family?

Sheffield didn't know if what he understood was correct, and Rockefeller Jr.'s answer was a bit too roundabout. Don't they say that Westerners are frank? Sure enough, frankness depends on who is right. There is no such thing as frankness when evaluating existences of the same level.

They are very frank when they evaluate beggars.

In this era, New York Metropolis already has some shadows of later generations. Although it will have to wait for decades to truly shine, Sheffield is thinking about whether to buy a piece of land and start a real estate business. After all, it is stable.

Make money without losing money.

After sending Coubertin on the ship, Rockefeller Jr. had returned to the Rockefeller Manor, and Anne conveyed Lafayette's instructions. Originally she was going to talk in Chicago, but was stopped by Sheffield, so it was best to talk about family matters in private.

"Madam said that it's okay to use some tactics against competitors from small Central American countries. It's not like I don't know the coffee bean merchants!" What Anne conveyed did not surprise Sheffield at all, and he asked confusedly, "Who is the coffee bean merchant?"

who?"

Haha! Sheffield laughed dumbly and explained, "I happen to know about this. It's about Morgan. When Morgan was young, he traveled to the South and happened to go to New Orleans. There was a Brazilian ship full of coffee beans, which was ready to be shipped in

The cargo was unloaded in New Orleans, but the buyer went bankrupt. Morgan happened to encounter this incident. He bought the coffee beans and made a profit on the difference, which happened to be sold to my family. This was the first time that Morgan made money on his own."

Sheffield had always heard the word coffee bean merchant from Annabelle in the past few years, and finally couldn't help but ask and found out that it was Morgan he was talking about.

"So, Morgan is also a very inspiring businessman." Annie nodded confusedly, "There was also a story of starting a business when he was young."

"Who can buy a whole ship of coffee beans? That's something most people with capital can't do!" Sheffield broke Anne's fantasy about chicken soup for the soul. "After doing this, Morgan went home to inherit the family property.
