Chapter 114: Houston

Charity is not a problem. Sheffield believes that as long as a normal person has hands and feet, he does not need to help himself, no matter what the skin color of this person is, whether it is male or female. Of course, if you really want to do charity, mental illness and people with disabilities can still help, these two are really vulnerable groups.
Apart from these two, the United States is a country that strives to build up. Please do n’t insult them with charity. This is a free country, and they can die freely.
Judging from the current cooperation between Rockefeller and Sheffield, Sheffield actually understands that he has not requested much from the oil industry giant, but instead seems to provide a little more help. In this respect, because of cooperation with a giant such as Standard Oil, he wants to maintain a gentleman's posture so that the cooperation between the two parties is on an equal footing.
If there is always a stumbling block with each other, it is likely that it will result in a series of consequences due to relevant legal regulations.
But although the Rockefeller family took advantage of more for the time being, Sheffield did not think he was losing money. No industry is completely separated from the development of related industries.
Now he hopes to maintain a close relationship with the Rockefeller family and free up his hands to deal with others. So to make the Rockefeller family more profitable, it can not be considered a loss, but the speed of making money may not be as fast as the other party.
Since it is decided that it is formal cooperation and will not stumbling upon each other, then everything is handled in accordance with formal cooperation. But to say that the Rockefellers have made a lot of money, they have nothing to lose.
As I said before, no industry is isolated from other industries. Now Sheffield is involved in the oil industry. Relying on the patent of standard oil, you ca n’t rely on the patent of standard oil. One suffered both defeats, and then died without contact.
With an equal formal cooperation model, because Standard Oil itself is the industry hegemony, at present it is certain that the other party is more profitable, but this standard oil is more profitable.
At present, oil is still far from being widely used in later generations, and the replacement of coal is still slowly taking place. Although Germany has already seen cars that use oil as a raw material, Germany itself does not have oil resources. This matter must be handled by the United States.
The patent and establishment of internal combustion engine, Sheffield has begun to lay out. So Rockefeller wants to go further in the oil industry, but also counts on Sheffield, not Sheffield on Rockefeller.
The Rockefeller family is now more profitable, but once agricultural machinery and automobiles powered by internal combustion engines are put into production, it is not Rockefeller that makes more profit, so Sheffield is not in a hurry.
Where is it now? When the various engines powered by the internal combustion engine are rolled out, the Rockefeller family knows that it seems that the signing of a profitable contract with the Sheffield family has also blocked themselves and made their partners stronger.
Of course, at present, if you choose one of various machinery, Sheffield still chooses agricultural machinery, letting the car avoid first, even if it is to develop industry, it is also to consolidate its position in the agricultural field at the beginning.
Let the people arrange the exploration team, Sheffield took Edith Rockefeller to Houston. From this woman came to Texas, he knew what led the exploration team, what part of the Rockefeller family, all are Excuse.
Will Edith Rockefeller really enter the field to lead exploration? The oil empire princess is still more suitable for the occasion of the prom, but it is just to say so before, and the degree of perfunctory and the degree of the president entering the convenience store are a match.
Of course there is no problem taking this woman to Houston, after all, this is the largest city in Texas. Later Houston was famous for its energy, especially oil, as the center of the petroleum and petrochemical industries in the United States, the aviation industry and the canals. The Port of Houston is the sixth largest port in the world, the busiest port in the United States, and the first tonnage by sea.
Naturally, Sheffield cannot deliberately sing the opposite tone. He must distort history. He respects history so much, lest there be unexpected changes in history. Naturally, he will choose to make the best use of everything.
The planned oil industry center naturally has its own land and its own labor force. There was a busy scene everywhere, but the first thing Edith Rockefeller saw was that these people were wearing very conspicuous clothes and shackles under their feet.
"Are you actually using criminals as workers?" Edith Rockefeller covered her mouth, and further away, police officers in uniforms were watching around, making all this look kind of oppressive.
"The Civil War lost, and you can only retreat to the next place. Is there any way?" Sheffield shrugged and said painlessly, "No free labor, don't I still think of them as God?"
"I was just surprised to see this kind of thing for the first time!" Edith Rockefeller shook her head and said that Sheffield had misunderstood. She thought that the Sheffield family operated a private prison just to talk about it. I did not expect that it was not just a business problem, but a proper business model.
That is natural. Private prisons are profitable every year. Sometimes farming alone does not guarantee profit every year. Private prisons are generating income every year.
"Without status and opportunity, can anyone be in a private prison? When the family moved to Texas, they first bought a piece of land to hold Mexican prisoners of war. Later, in order to deal with the underground railway, the family established the first private Prison. In addition to the fugitive slaves, the Yankee is inside. Later, it was discovered that after the establishment of the private prison, it was more efficient than the plantation. "Seeing Edith Rockefeller heard it, Sheffield remarked. , Complacent, "but other people don't have this opportunity. It was called Lone Star Republic at that time."
"In the short time that the Lone Star Republic has existed, the opportunity to establish private prisons has been given. This is a problem left over by history, and others cannot follow suit!" Sheffield chuckled. "There is no such opportunity."
When Edith Rockefeller heard it, he sighed, "That's a pity!"
"Do you really want to come over to grab business?" Sheffield raised her eyebrows. Of course there are still opportunities. Isn't there a US-Spanish war and a robbery of Hawaii? Sheffield feels that his private prison business can rush out of the United States. Going to the world, Guantanamo is a good place.
"The progress of the project is still a bit slow. Call the warden!" She whispered to John Conner, Sheffield turned and asked Edith Rockefeller, "Do you want to see the women's prison?"
