Chapter 303: United Tobacco

The imbalance between males and females is a serious problem. Without mentioning the Republic a hundred years later, the male-male ratio of the Chinese laborers is much more serious. This cannot be solved by Confucian culture. Many crimes have a lot to do with this problem. West Coast citizens rate the Japanese community more than the Chinese community, because the ratio of men and women in the Japanese community is more balanced than the Chinese.
But the reality is that because the appearance difference between the Chinese labor population and the main citizens of the United States is too large, it is impossible for these people to be absorbed by the United States, so it is necessary to go to a place where it is easier to live to solve this problem. It is easier to solve this problem in Latin America than in the United States.
"Boss, do you want to stay for a meal? Today is a good day." Zhang Deqing offered an invitation. After all, there are not many American companies that dare to work directly with Chinese laborers. Bosses like Sheffield are not uncommon.
"It's a good thing to save a meal." Sheffield revealed her stupid nature, and was ready to rub a meal here, directly ignoring the dissatisfaction of the few women who came with him.
Zhang Deqing didn't realize it. He had always been blind to these white people. A few women hadn't seen who they were and could not recognize who they were. They went to the kitchen and said, "In fact, we overseas Chinese, the most hope is Returning to my own country, it ’s a pity that I ’m in Qing Dynasty now, which is worrying. I do n’t know when there will be a day of revival. What can I learn from America.

"There will be such a day, but it is not necessary to learn from the United States." Sheffield followed into the kitchen. Zhang Deqing's problem was too big for him to explain.
If from the dynasty's foreign policy, the Anshi Rebellion was a landmark event, after which the Central Plains dynasty turned to conservatism, and no longer had the drive to open up its territory on a large scale. This is also the reason why the two dynasties of Song and Ming dynasties were not as good as the Han and Tang dynasties. In fact, the Ming dynasty pioneered only two generations of emperors. After Yongle died, he entered the mode of continually abolishing administrative institutions and giving up land to guard the Great Wall.
Watching the chef cook in the kitchen, Sheffield flashed and asked, "How much salt is put in this dish."
"If you want a little sugar and the right amount of salt, you need to grasp the heat yourself." The chef replied in a daze.
"A little? The right amount?" Sheffield looked at Zhang Deqing and said, "The problem lies in this. The question of cooking is better said, but a lot of things can't be relied on accumulation of experience. You must figure out how many materials are needed. Mathematics is extremely important! "
In the ancient field of mathematics, you don't need to know that ancient Greece is unique, and its achievements are more than the sum of all civilizations. It is not a level at all. Algebra is not a strong place in ancient Greece. The real strength is the field of geometry.
If from this point, it has been developing, Western civilization should hang the world two thousand years ago. But since the Roman Empire accepted Christianity, there has never been any commendable research in ancient Greek mathematics. Even Christians have been held as the gathering place of mathematicians.
From this point of view, Western civilization fell into the pit earlier than Eastern civilization, but it came out earlier than Eastern civilization. After the demise of the Eastern Roman Empire, it seemed that all the meridians were broken through, and they flew into the sky.
In the period of the unified Roman Empire, the mathematics of the West was extinguished instead. Europe, which has been split, competed with each other, but powerful energy erupted, so this matter depends on how to choose and which aspect is more important.
How could the slave owner have the ability to explain the problem of historical evolution, just tell Zhang Deqing by cooking, mathematics is very important, and why it is so important, think for yourself.
On this day, Sheffield stayed in the Chinese residence for a day, and there was a sense of both Chinese and overseas Chinese celebrating the Spring Festival. And let some women witness to how he eats grass.
The entire Chinese laborer group has no image of being weak and ca n’t help but the wind, with plenty of food and heavy labor, it looks like a tendon at a glance. Food is naturally no problem. The head office is the United States Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. Isn't it a joke to go out?
"Would you like some more? You're eating grass again, and you're definitely not hungry!" Edith Rockefeller brought up the famous Texas steak, which was simmering with oil stars.
"No, I keep the proper amount of food, otherwise I'm afraid that the rich woman won't want me." Sheffield steak in front felt full at first glance, he hurriedly quit.
After the Panama Canal was started again, there was no valuable news. Every once in a while, the Panama Canal Engineering Company will hold a press conference on time to introduce the progress of the project to the media. To be honest, the reason why many media care about the canal project is largely to wait for news such as the outbreak of the plague. Well, for many people it is a human tragedy, a sad fact. For the newspaper media, it is the news that attracts the most attention.
It ’s like lawyers want every family to have some cases, either burglary or robbery. If it ’s not possible, it can be a murder case. But these cases must be solved. Otherwise, the police are busy and not they are busy. Busy and sick, these excrement workers are also looking forward to something unexpected day and night.
However, these media are doomed to wait. At present, the wood processing in New Orleans is supported by the forests along the Panama Canal. The slave owners have sufficient experience in this area. What is destructive mining does not require anyone to teach. , The fires of no value are set on fire, the smoke and dust from Panama is enduring for a long time, and people who do not know think that the volcano has erupted.
The reason why this is done is to squeeze out the last point of natural resources. After the surface has little value, it is time for the chemical spray to come on the shelf. Sheffield also wants to know if Bayer has gained its reputation. Shoulder the expectations of his ally.
Recently, Sheffield was busy with the last thing that attracted attention in the eyes, that is, the intervention in the tobacco industry. Today he finally waited for representatives of other southern tobacco companies to come to discuss and do a big business.
Sheffield's opening speech with the fierce competition of the major tobacco companies, insufficient profits, blind price wars, and low quality was very formative. In fact, when Morgan integrated railways and intervened in the steel industry, what he said was actually the same. To put it bluntly, Sheffield is copying according to Morgan's blueprint and doing the same thing as Morgan. If Morgan is here today, it will be very interesting.
Since there are so many shortcomings of doing things separately, it is inevitable that such a joint force will become bigger and stronger.
"At present, the tobacco industry is fiercely competitive, and the tobacco production area is on our Dixie land, but we do not have a strong tobacco company, and the profits are all taken away by the Yang Ji people. This is not acceptable. I think that any growth in the southern land Everything on the list should be attributed to our Dixies.
The sounding nonsense gave Sheffield a reversal.
The merger is the only way out, reducing competition, and with greater pricing power, even We do n’t raise prices, at least we wo n’t shrink profits, and we can even get involved in the export industry.

At present, the largest tobacco company in the United States is the American Tobacco Company, which is making a major overseas expansion, but Sheffield knows that in order to quell the fierce trade war a year later, the British Imperial Tobacco Company and the American American Tobacco Company jointly established a joint venture British American Tobacco Company.
According to the agreement, the two companies will not be allowed to trade in the other's domestic market, but have the right to use each other's brands and trademarks in their respective markets. Both companies ’operations outside the UK or US domestic markets are handed over to British American Tobacco, which will enable the new company ’s business to spread throughout the world.
But in fact, the establishment of British American Tobacco Company ultimately resulted in greater profits for the British. British capital eventually controlled most of the joint venture's shares. Later, American Tobacco Company gave up its shares in the joint venture. At this point, the veteran world hegemons gave a lesson to the new world hegemons to let American capital know what is still old and spicy.
So Sheffield is going to start afresh. People who are so greedy will definitely not choose to put their hopes on the British side of the net, so the first domestic market to grab is the United. Once the British American Tobacco Company was established as a joint venture, he criticized the American Tobacco Company for being unpatriotic and a comprador of British imperialism, which specifically exploited citizens of the United States.
"William's meaning is that we want to set our goal on an equal footing with American Tobacco?" The manager of Sherman Tobacco asked doubtfully, "It seems that this goal is too high."
"Hope your company, this goal is too high, but all of us are united together, this goal is not high!" Sheffield said with a head held up, "Because the raw materials are in our hands, and the joint company has a variety of national Channels and the market are not a problem. The biggest problem is whether you are willing to cooperate. If you are not willing, although everyone is a southern company, Dixie ’s own company, but once the joint company officially enters the tobacco industry, accidental injury may be inevitable. "
Sheffield is determined to enter the tobacco industry! Regardless of whether the managers of these other tobacco companies are in favor or against, this is inevitable. She lit a cigar and asked Sheffield to hold the table with both hands. "Now I have finished speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"
After a suffocating silence, the participating managers defaulted on this fact. On this day, United Tobacco was formally established, and Sheffield once again acquired nine tobacco companies, together with Renault Tobacco, formally established United Tobacco. Orleans is listed, and he owns 60% of the shares.
