Chapter 254: Transfer negotiation

As far as the Panama Canal is concerned, Sheffield was not interested in it at first, but in the end he went up and down for this. Is n’t this a typical example of restraining one ’s greed? This matter has nothing to do with what Gail and McHale said He was greedy.
But since he decided to intervene, he would have to make a 100% effort to integrate all the favorable conditions and make everything as smooth as possible. The outbreak of the Boer War is a good opportunity. This war can divert the attention of the most economically powerful Wall Street. The French Canal Company's poor management is also a good opportunity.
The only thing that may be relatively rusty is that the United States has just entered the period of imperialism. Perhaps some of the methods of supporting freedom fighters are relatively rough, and they cannot provide any useful experience for themselves. This matter needs to be done by yourself.
To be honest, Sheffield is really richer in theoretical knowledge than the politicians of this era. At least he has seen how to support freedom fighters in the United States.
In the economic field, in a short period of time, the economic development of a region is sluggish and many problems cannot be solved at once, which provides economic soil; in the political field, if the phenomenon in the ruling party is more serious, it will cause people ’s disapproval of the ruling party. Identify and do not support, which provides political incentives for the implementation of democracy and freedom;
Public sentiment is a barometer of society. If social governance fails to keep up, people's livelihood issues cannot be effectively resolved, and the shortage of public goods will trigger public dissatisfaction. If the people ’s emotional problems are serious and it is difficult to form a consensus and form cohesion, it will give the Western forces the ability to use popular sentiment and use populism to incite popular sentiment. This provides a basis for public opinion to achieve the goal.
At present, Panama has economic and political factors, and is no longer in the same position as the Colombian central government. You already have the conditions to kill your family after democracy.
Originally, Sheffield wanted to personally take some summer operations and told Keane that he was ready to return to Texas to direct command. However, the news of Los Angeles had to delay Sheffield's idea. The Panama Canal was in his place. In his eyes it became a small matter again, and he was going to do the right thing now.
Five days later, Sheffield was already at the door of a private hospital, sitting by the bed with Eveline, who had just produced, peeling the fresh mango, and handing it to Eveline's mouth.
"Boss!" Evelyn looked at the man with a complex expression, and there was a little apology in her eyes.
"Don't call your boss, just call your name in the future." Sheffield smiled softly and hand-fed the little mothers. Although white people didn't have the habit of confinement, there was always some impact just after the birth, "It's my fault In fact, I should stay in Los Angeles for a while, but there are some other things that are entangled. After all, China is not Manila, and there are many things. "
"William, I didn't give you a boy, I'm sorry!" Even though Evelyn changed her mind, she still felt a little bit sad in his heart. He knew that for a large company, male descendants must be more important than women.
"This thing is the same for me. If you don't object, you can regenerate in the future." Sheffield finally knew what Evelyn was like. In this era, there are some patriarchs in the United States, after all, the times are limited. Evelyn felt disappointed by having a girl?
But not yet. Sheffield was born in a patriarchal country, so many people might object. I think that the status of women in the Republic is high enough, and it is indeed entering the adult stage. The status of women is not high enough, but it has begun to surpass men. However, this is only one aspect. Equality between men and women depends on the birth rate.
The reproductive ratio of men and women in the Republic is absolutely not optimistic, and it can even be said to be going backwards. The world rankings are declining every year. On the contrary, it is contrary to other indicators. The imbalance between supply and demand has also caused the skyrocketing of the gift issue.
Therefore, Sheffield will not pay too much attention to the problem of giving birth to a girl. If Evelyn cares about this problem, she can continue to give birth without being unable to afford it.
"Actually with me, you have already suffered a lot. Although you may avoid some troubles in your standard of living. But it must be that there is no previous freedom, and there is no marriage, and there are already children, which may also cause some trouble. , But it ’s okay, I ’ll help you with some things.
When Evelyn finished eating the mango, Sheffield grabbed the girl ’s hand.
As long as you do n’t have resentment against me in your heart.

"How can I hate you, I have given you all of it." Evelyn said somewhat sadly, "Everything I want."
"No, I forced you, my memory is not so bad, let you cover up the sin for me. If you change to someone else, you may be squatting in prison now." Sheffield corrected Evelyn's expression Wrong, even if he did bad things, he was one, two or two. The he did were admitted, there was no need to cover up, "Thank you for having a girl for me, this is Ede to complain, I will definitely be in the future Take care of you as much as possible. "
Evelyn heard these words, and her heart filled with emotions, weakly said, "You are a good person!"
I also think this is a scum! Sheffield smiled helplessly, and since she had a life in her stomach, it seems that Evelyn has even dropped her IQ. There is something in his mind that fits the concept of a good person. This time he came to Los Angeles and brought a woman with him. .
"I am a descendant of the slave owner, and have the thinking of the slave owner. You are called a good person. Most people disagree." Sheffield laughed at himself, but his standard decided his head, and the interests he got must not be given up. Anything can be done with money, and it is a great irony to be evaluated as a good person.
However, how Sheffield is now a full-fledged son and daughter, and a large number of broken families will soon appear because of the Panama Canal project, but he is holding babies and mistresses here, this world is so unfair, people and people The gap is larger than that of humans and pigs.
"The boss, the Paris telegram, there may be news." Jesra took the telegram and disturbed the rare tender moments of his boss. He actually did not want to do this, but this is also what Sheffield said. bring here.
"Are you going?" Evelyn's smile, which had just been happy for a while, gradually disappeared. Her man was able to come to see her. Of course, she was excited, but this happiness was too fast.
"Where? Am I going to dig the soil? Who can't do that kind of thing?" Sheffield asked with a smile, "I have contracted the project, so naturally there is a way to find someone who is hands-on, not necessarily staring at it myself. Normally, now that you have just given birth to a child, I will leave as soon as I see it. Am I still a person? I might not be a good person, but I think I am still a person. "
The old man sent a telegram from Paris that, in principle, the Paris Canal Company is willing to transfer the rights to excavate the Panama Canal to the joint company. That is simple. Set the transfer price and find a time to negotiate.
Out of the chips in both hands, Sheffield made a judgment that the French Canal Company is not doing well. This matter is in a buyer's market environment. Although it can be called urgent on its own side. But the plight of the French side is greater than that of their own side, so this matter will be negotiated in the United States.
When Jesra was called back, Sheffield continued to stay at the hospital, and after a few days he accompanied Evelyn, who was unwilling to be hospitalized, between the two women, waiting for the negotiation team of the French Canal Company to arrive.
During this time, the war between the British and the Boers was also in full swing. Two months after the war, the British Empire let its world overlord lose its face, and the four thousand British troops of Lady Smith commanded by Lieutenant General George White. He launched a counterattack against the Armed Forces and encountered the main force of the Armed Forces under the command of Jourbel in the Nicholson Canyon. The British defeated and lost 1,300 people. The rest returned to Ladysmith and were immediately surrounded.
In the following battle, the British army suffered a heavy defeat in the battle because of the concealment of the artillery position and the command error of the British commander. The British army suffered a massive defeat in this battle, and another 1,100 people were killed. One hundred and fifty people lost ten cannons. The Boer army only killed eight people and wounded thirty others.
At the same time, the British army was defeated in Kimberley on the Western Front and Stromberg in the Central Front, so that in the first phase of the war, the British Empire, the world overlord, was well lost among the eager gloating of the world. An adult. It was very much like Spain, the world hegemon, earlier in the US-Spanish War last year.
In the first phase of the war, the British army suffered heavy losses, casting the Boer's reputation for good fighting. It also attracted the attention of New York financiers on the other side of the Atlantic. A very popular thing, but for bankers, including Morgan, this is another opportunity to eat cakes. Morgan and his sons used their connections in London to inquire about every detail of the battle between the British and the Boers, looking for The opportunity to eat.
Compared with the Boer War, which attracted the attention of the whole world, the negotiations between Sheffield and the French Canal Company were much more deserted. But in the eyes of all parties involved at this time, this matter is also very important.
Morgan can make his own war money, and Sheffield is also using the Boer War to cover his plans. The two parallel lines ignore the interference. The negotiations are launched in New Orleans. The reason I chose here is because New Orleans was originally a French. The important town of New France, choose here to make the French feel more comfortable.
