Chapter 161: Hollywood Manor

"Is it all women?" Evelyn's red lips pursed and she could hang the oil bottle, which she didn't find.
"This is the tradition of our family. Many companies are managed by women. The population of the southern states is only half of the north. If you leave the black people, there is only one quarter of the north. After the civil war, men are scarce. Texas The situation is not too serious. Of course, the current population has returned to normal, and many black people have also left the South. "Sheffield explained the reason. At that time, it was very happy to be a man in the southern states, and there was no lack of want to marry. For your women.
Because there must be more boys and girls after the war, and the owner of the Sheffield family is gone, it is natural that most of the company's management is female.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Sheffield's own choice. Subconsciously, he is also patriarchal. He thinks that women cannot be used as animals like men. They can only arrange less tiring work to find a balance.
In addition, the personal assistants are a group of men, which is not in line with the modern experience of future advanced secretarial work, no work ...
Now Sheffield has already realized the difficulty of moving his family to Texas, even if he knows that the bright future will be waiting for you, but he is determined to belong to another matter. In the face of the Great West of this era, Sheffield still We must continue to work hard and move forward with weight.
And the situation he is facing is actually not much relaxed, even worse at the political level. When the family moved to Texas, it was when the Democrats were in full swing and winning streak. The United States has long been under the control of the Democratic Party.
Now it is completely different, even if President Cleveland is now a Democrat. Judging from previous elections, the Democratic Party can't beat Republicans. The Democratic Party's previous election attitude is very simple. It is to stabilize South Dixie State. At the same time, it can steal a few in the Midwest. If you steal more, you win. If you don't steal it, you can honestly be an opposition party.
Even during President Cleveland ’s tenure, he really did not have the kind of multi-party elections in Europe. It was impossible for him to be president. This time, he lost to the Republicans in terms of numbers.
Now that California is in the hands of the Republican Party, it is clear that the Democratic Party did not steal chickens in the last election.
However, this advantage is negligible. The Great West was nothing in the political landscape of the United States at the end of the nineteenth century. The population was very small. It was not like the place where the two parties focused their competition after World War II, often playing a decisive role.
Californians do not have any tendency among the Democrats and Republicans. From Evelyn ’s mouth, Sheffield heard interesting descriptions of the elections. Most of the time, it is the organization of the California Workers ’Party that is the most enthusiastic voting group, similar to Eve. Lin's family is not very interested in the election.
"The first governor of California is a Democrat. In fact, the industrial environment here is similar to that of Texas. Although I am a Texan, I feel very kind to California." Sheffield's half-truth and Evelyn Close the relationship.
Although the consortium of the United States seems to only cover the sky, it still has some balance with the parties. It does not involve vital interests, and it can still live in harmony with the contacts of the two parties. Later generations of South Korea were called only one hand to cover the sky, and the chaebols jointly controlled 80% of the country's economy. This is not possible with the major consortia of the United States.
Therefore, it is impossible for any consortium to interfere in the national election. Even in the special environment of the Dixie, the Sheffield family is at most to maintain a harmonious cooperative relationship in exchange for a consistent sense of identity.
But there are more than forty states in the United States. If you want to manipulate a certain state, you can actually try it. Especially in the political territory of the United States, it is still in the small and transparent large western states, with a sparse population and desolation, which is out of the sight of mainstream politicians.
Later generations have a term for this state that does not have an advantage. It is a swing state. It refers to a state where both sides of the election are evenly matched and have no obvious advantage. California is now a swinging state, not a Democrat base camp that changes its position in later generations.
There are two benefits of geographical isolation when the population is small. That is, it is easy to identify the direction of the interests of this group. The geographical isolation means that there are few channels for receiving outside information, and it must be local. And California in this era, in fact, the industry is not the same as the northern Yankee's site, but it is similar to the southern states.
The Electoral College does not protect the interests of small states. It is the Senate system that protects the interests of small states. Regardless of the number of people in the state, there are always two senators. The electoral group votes are distributed according to the population of the state. How to protect small states? It is a spring and autumn method to bind the electoral college system to the Senate to explain the balance between large and small states. This resulted in elections limited to a few swing states.
"Of the newspapers that the boss bought last time, there is naturally a local newspaper in Los Angeles, called the Los Angeles Times. It is a small newspaper that is less than ten years old. The purchase price is five thousand dollars. Like most acquisitions, the boss has always been pursuing Holding, keeping the original team to continue to work! "John Connor actually did not know the results of the last purchase of public opinion, and it was only after the telegraph was sent to the Arlington base camp that it is now in the face of Evelyn. report.
Los Angeles Times? Sheffield seems to remember that this is the same as the name of a well-known newspaper in later generations, but it is not worth paying too much attention. He has already included Coca-Cola and Pepsi in the bag. Is the Rockefeller family more famous than others? Has he moved forward with different weights?
"John is a senior? Hmm? It's not a secretary anyway. You'll be responsible for this kind of work in the future." Sheffield turned to Evelyn, reflecting her expectations and tolerance as a boss. "The conditions are poor at present. You may have to work hard for you. When the Secretariat has enough staff, then you will be more relaxed. "
"Got it, boss!" Evelyn cherishes this job. After all, the treatment is much better than the previous train crew. Sheffield is also a good attitude boss.
"What is the boss, you can call my name." Sheffield smiled gently. Who doesn't like this kind of boss who has the ability to money? In his own words, he would choose not to work hard.
But for career creation, you can move forward with a heavy burden, but you must continue to work hard. Now back to the origin of everything, since I feel that coming to California to develop is no less than the great move to relocate to Texas in the past, we must fully integrate into it. However, after some investigation, it seems that there is nothing that can allow the rapid return of funds to buy and sell.
The real estate business is definitely not going to work, even in central Los Angeles, California, real estate is worthless. House prices in the United States are controlled invisibly by an invisible hand. At least part of this invisible hand also belongs to the Sheffield family's share, that is, guns.
Once a large number of black people appear in a community, the housing prices in this community will fall down. But among them, the skin color of blacks does not occupy an important reason. If they are all bare-handed, how can the superior white people care about a few black people. The key is that the United States can't help but guns, so even as a mainstream group, whites dare to play a small number of people.
Once shootings occur frequently, real estate will decline everywhere. What is the purpose of buying a house? Isn't it for family safety? There is a harbour in your own home. If it is not safe, the property will be useless.
Even some communities with good public security learned this trick afterwards. Once the community is too stable, some people will have nothing to do in their own community, regulate the environment of the community, deter outsiders, and also find something for the police. do.
Sheffield can't always cut the main profit of the family for real estate. This is not the right hand, not to mention cutting his own hand. Isn't there another gun manufacturer?
Real estate is not acceptable. If the population is not enough, you ca n’t use your left hand and right hand. You can only think of other ways. After thinking for a long time, he must admit that California is really not a place with particularly good basic conditions in the United States. The reason why later generations can suppress Texas has a huge relationship with the face of Asia. There are two other important factors. One is Silicon Valley in San Francisco, and the other is Hollywood in Los Angeles.
Excluding these two factors, California itself is not as good as Texas.
Half a month after arriving in Los Angeles, Sheffield has planned several suitable industries. Agriculture and animal husbandry are fundamental. Some subdivided processing industries can also be developed. However, there is really no way for him to replicate in Silicon Valley, but there is one The place name attracted the attention of Sheffield, who had already left to investigate.
Real estate agent Harvey Wilcox bought an area of ​​0.6 square kilometers in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Cox ’s wife heard a person next to her say that she came from a place called Hollywood in Ohio. She liked the name very much. After returning to California, she planted a large number of holly trees from Scotland. .
The current Hollywood manor has only one street, much like a common manor in the southern states. There are hundreds of residents living here. The arrival of Sheffield makes the owner of the Hollywood manor very happy. It seems that she has discovered what is hidden in Sheffield. Flash point, for example, the essence of Krypton King.
"It's really a beautiful place, and it's bother to take the chance to visit." Sheffield walked off the carriage and nodded to the owner of the place, and even his eyes became shiny. This is the predecessor of DreamWorks. ? Dreaming well ...
