Chapter 353: Quote from the President

"If it's not our relationship, even I can't accept what you are now." Edith Rockefeller sighed, with some worry in his heart, "I'm afraid that Roosevelt will remember you from now on, and trouble you later. . "
"I'm not going to sell all the shares to the federal government, and the federal government can't afford it. I mean selling some of the shares, so in the next time, the joint company and the federal government will be in Panama, there will be a period of time The cooperation of time, the president ’s is still in my hands. Of course, he can choose not to let me squeeze, then I will sell the canal to the Germans. "
One hand touched the woman's thigh in an unreliable way, causing goose bumps on Edith Rockefeller's body, and there were people still there. How did the slave owner's courage grow bigger now.
As the second rich man to be received by the President this year, Sheffield was not very proud of it, but he had a close observation of the White House architecture, and he wondered if he would come out in the New Orleans cottage? Used to support some mistresses or something!
Entering the White House, Sheffield took the hand of Edith Rockefeller, fearing that others would n’t be able to see how close they were to the oil princess, and Edith Rockefeller was embarrassed. This day happened to be Thanksgiving, and the adulterer went to the White House for a feast. Edith Rockefeller won the favor of the White House with a decent gesture.
This exemplifies the importance of bringing ladies and ladies to the White House. Sheffield and Roosevelt are not the first time to meet. It can be said that the two sides have met many times, and naturally saved a lot of temptations, and directly entered the topic.
"Does William have to sell the canal to the Germans? This does not seem to be a very good choice, especially for our country Guo." President Roosevelt converged his usual combative style, he also knew this style In front of Sheffield, it may have no effect at all, and it will be counterproductive. It is better to talk about things directly.
"This is not necessarily a thing, but I will never sell it to domestic private companies. If I can choose, I would rather sell it to foreigners." Sheffield took a glass of red wine directly from the front of Edith Rockefeller and drank it. Aroused by the woman's anger, she continued, "Domestic companies are competitors. I can't look at the competitors and benefit from the losses of the joint company."
Roosevelt was silent, exactly the same as Rosen said, the boss of this joint company will never watch the competitors grow, and can talk about any conditions, but this one can't be talked about.
Even if Roosevelt brought it into Sheffield's perspective, it must be admitted that the Germans are indeed a very good seller. If others do not understand, then Roosevelt, as the president, has a clear understanding of the benefits of the canal from the perspective of the national cellar. Once the Panama Canal falls into the hands of the Germans, Germany's influence in the entire America will be greatly improved. This political benefit is not measurable by money.
In addition, the newly independent countries in the Americas have varying degrees of concern about the United States, and they are more inclined to get help from the European powers to restrict the influence of the United States. Considered from two aspects, if Sheffield proposes to sell to the Germans, this is almost a hit-and-miss thing. Germany in Europe will respond enthusiastically, and Latin American countries are also desperate.
The only damage is the national interests of the United States of America. As the President of the United States, Roosevelt was very reluctant to see this kind of bad consequences that I do n’t know how to remedy.
Roosevelt even faintly felt that because of the collapse of the dam, the troubled joint company now acts to threaten the federal government, knowing that the federal government cannot sit back and watch the consequences of Germany ’s control of the Panama Canal.
Very difficult! This is an intuitive feeling in Roosevelt's heart. If he is a president who doesn't pay much attention to this point, he doesn't feel upset. It doesn't matter if he wants to sell it to anyone, but Roosevelt pays special attention to this canal.
On the first day, the two sides did not talk about the result. Sheffield and Edith Rockefeller lived directly in the White House. Sheffield had already started to move their hands before the evening. "I recently lived at Rockefeller Estate, that ’s your home. My manor, but it suffocated me. "
"You're crazy, this is the White House!" Edith Rockefeller exclaimed softly, avoiding with fear, and whispered beneath, "After going back, OK, this is a bit strange."
"I don't believe that Roosevelt has lived here for so long, and has been a bitter monk. What the White House is a broken house." Sheffield ripped off her clothes in a blink of an eye and smirked. I'm waiting for you. "
The hallowed hall in the hearts of the United States should hide dirt and dirt! It ’s not sacred. Sheffield does n’t have much interest. Just like Edith Rockefeller, it ’s not a peerless beauty, but it ’s a powerful woman in the United States.
"I think you've invested more than I did, and it's just a mouthful of protest!" Sheffield smirked and hugged Edith Rockefeller's body. "It's obviously better in the White House than it was in Chicago."
"Don't make trouble, just look at you." Edith Rockefeller whispered in protest, thinking of the scene just now also blushing, would that crazy look be yourself?
What's wrong with the White House? The White House is not just a house. Early the next morning, Sheffield took Edith Rockefeller out for a walk outside the White House. It was as natural as the owner of the White House. This pair of adulterers is from the United States of America. The President and the First Lady, not Roosevelt who did not appear.
"If Mr. President can pay, I will use this money to set up a charitable foundation, of course, to deduct the part I deserve!" Sheffield whispered while walking, "I will buy a group of publishers , Control the publishing industry from the source, and invest in some scholars. As for the charitable foundation, it will make donations to some private universities. "
This is something that was planned long ago. To control the spread of knowledge, publishers and academic authorities are very important. And in this era, no one has noticed this. Sheffield has no competitors in front of him.
"I thought you would use the Foundation's money to compensate the black relatives who were killed!" Edith Rockefeller glanced around and found no ghosts in his mouth. "Always have to compensate a little, otherwise something will happen."
"Of course, it will only compensate you a little!" Sheffield said with comprehension. "You can rest assured that the dead worker will be compensated."
The United States Charitable Foundation of later generations originated from the Rockefeller Family Charity Foundation. A few hundred years later, the charity foundation operated several standards. The first is that charitable donations directly deduct the tax of the year, and the highest contribution to private charity funds. Deducting 30% of the annual income and donating the money to the private non-profit charitable fund established by yourself is of course a legitimate charitable cause.
Private charitable funds can continue to be fully tax-exempt each year as long as they can prove that 5% or more of the total assets of the foundation are spent on charity. Sheffield ’s private charity fund donated 5 percent to the Rockefeller family ’s charity fund, which is of course a completely legal charity.
As for inheritance tax, before they die, they throw all their property into the private charity fund they set up for great philanthropy. The taxable income is zero. How can the state collect inheritance tax from them?
The charter of the charity fund stipulates that the members of the council shall be descendants of donors, then this charity fund is actually private, but only nominally owned by the public. This model should be created by the old Rockefeller who created the trust model one year later, but Sheffield probably made it appear one year earlier.
Slave owners have always been responsible for maintaining history, so once Roosevelt received funds to acquire the Panama Canal, 5% of the funds would be used to compensate black people who died. But he is more inclined to pay in installments, at least to pay compensation in several years.
President Roosevelt was not idle, but was using this time to assess the value of the Panama Canal. Because Sheffield has already shown the gesture of not kidnapping me with patriotism, now I can only talk about money.
Everyone knows that the United Company is in big trouble now, and it must be to compensate the workers who died. Roosevelt must also take this into consideration, but the president did not expect that the slave owner has thought of a cracking strategy from the charity fund of later generations, and is ready to die. Workers' compensation was retained.
Because Sheffield lived in the White House for a few days, there has been some speculation in the public opinion. The newspapers with slave owners leading the fashion will naturally not lack eye-catching news. For example, some people speculated that Sheffield had been put under house arrest by the President. Others said that because Sheffield wanted to sell the Panama Canal to the Germans, the President ’s anger was aroused and he wanted to use national power to confiscate the canal.
This unsubstantiated report made Mr. President very angry, accusing some newspapers of being like shitmen, turning a blind eye to all the good things and focusing on the dark side of the country.
"Mr. President, this is the case with newspapers, and everyone knows this." Sheffield shrugged and carried coffee with ease. "Wait until I go out and declare that I am not under personal control."
Edith Rockefeller chuckled. She could be sure that if the person said that, many newspapers would conclude that Sheffield must have been illegally detained and threatened to say so.
"I'll just say it. I personally sympathize with the company for this disaster. William, since you are not willing to sell it to other private companies, you can sell it to the federal government and tell your heart." Roosevelt looked Solemn, very sincere opening.
