Chapter 37: Old man's connections

"Got it!" Sheffield clasped the phone with her neck and said lazily, "In fact, this matter does not need to be too anxious. It can be said when the Secretary of State leaves Paris. After all, my purpose is not consistent with the country."
Sheffield tilted Erlang's legs, an ugly face of the bourgeoisie, separating the United States from himself. In fact, the article he hopes to publish can be said to be flattering in terms of writing. He specifically pats on the high points of the French people. If the network society of later generations is developed, the upper line is suspected of insulting the United States.
But few of the fart people of the United States in the nineteenth century could come to Europe to play, and he was not worried about this. However, in order to give the Democratic government a face, plus the United States because of Venezuela's rivalry with Britain, it is better to wait for the Secretary of State to leave Paris to visit the next country.
Of course, it ’s okay for the French to clap in this era. The French deserve to be touted. It is probably at this time that the French ’s revenge on Germany began to rise. Of course, it ’s not patriotism but actual action.
It can be said that the German Empire during William II was undoubtedly the king of the land of the world. The French army, which is the main force that resisted the Germans on the Western Front, is definitely a battle.
However, this battle also has very obvious sequelae. Not only has death and disability reached 5 million people, but it also directly broke the sound of usury imperialism. By the time of World War II, France did not want to win another victory.
Only when you feel hurt do you know how to reflect. Now France must not feel this. After the Secretary of State and his entourage went to Tier-Russia to seek support, the Figaro newspaper headline finally published an American named Sam, to the French and French people. The understanding first recalled the traditional friendly relations between the United States and France, and took a glimpse of the process of the United States' fall to the ground.
"If anyone in this world can keep Britain from being arrogant, only France can do it."
"Louis XVI is the true father of the United States. Without the support of His Majesty the King, there would be no United States today."
Anna wrote the front page report of the Figaro newspaper. As a loyal supporter of the Figaro newspaper, she naturally knew the style of the newspaper. How did such a report suddenly appear?
The flattering words in this report naturally came from Sheffield. Can someone else use the father of the United States? Moreover, he was right, France itself made great efforts in the War of Independence. This is so!
As for an authoritative newspaper, there is such a report, it is so simple, collect money! Five thousand gold francs, it should be known that the value of gold francs in this era is not worse than the pound, and it is one of the important currencies commonly used in international settlement. Many international organizations and international conventions also use the franc as the standard currency. When the Universal Postal Union was established, it was stipulated in the postal conventions to use francs to formulate a unified international postal tariff and settle postal transactions between member countries.
Do you really think that usury imperialism is just to mock France? Francs can be used wherever pounds are available. Both English and French are the least used.
After seeing Sheffield nodding frequently, Anna put down the newspaper and asked, "You don't seem to be angry at all?"
"Why should I be angry, how good it is!" Sheffield said with a surprised face. "I think the great France can fully bear such praise, and this is true."
"I thought that a person like you would find the report inappropriate." Ai Ai from Anna's period said, "After all, this is too fragile to write about America, and you are an American citizen."
"Thinking too much, I'm not that kind of layman." Sheffield grinned. "As long as someone can afford the price, the price that the Sheffield family can't refuse, it's not impossible to sell the country."
Anyway, the Sheffields were originally agents of the British Empire, and they did it on their own initiative, as long as they were interested in licking the French. It does n’t matter what the patriots of the United States think, it ’s all about his farts, and those fart people are few. Can go abroad. Besides, who knows this is his alleged insult to the United States?
Is there evidence? You can eat nonsense without talking, you can criticize the government of the United States, but you can't scold him. This has completely different consequences. The federal government will not take the initiative to do anything to a fart, he may not necessarily.
Recently, it may be the most diligent moment in the life of the old man. In addition to the work of licensing patents, he is still dealing with the investment of France in the United States. It seems to be completely an expert. It has a good relationship with a number of Parisian financiers and bankers. It has been done many times.
From Rich Martin ’s mouth, Sheffield knew that the old man had been in Paris for so many years. The reason why the French branch did not lose money every year is really unique.
At the end of the nineteenth century, the United States was a standard debtor country. In short, the country ’s development relied on foreign investment and owed nearly three billion dollars in debt to Europe. Among them, France, which has loan-sharking imperialism, takes the second place. The first nature is at this time the world economic center London, which accounts for more than one-third of the debt of the United States.
The military power and industrial power of the United States do not match. These veteran imperialists estimate that the United States does not have the ability to repay the debt. Moreover, the United States is developing rapidly and their investment returns are quite rich.
Sheffield suddenly recalled the words of Lafayette, "Rockefeller and Morgan, if they are just comparing assets in the United States, are slightly stronger than us. If other things are added, my family is stronger than them alone. Listed companies do not need to sell stocks, even if they are not in New York. "
Now it seems that the Sheffield family's financing should be in London and Paris.
"I recently found some legal friends and studied the French patent law, and I have achieved some results." It was n’t until late at night that Harry Sheffield returned to the apartment, with a mixture of alcohol and fat powder, and everything I did Once again, "The transfer of patent authorizations through the Ministry of Justice is not hindered in the French patent law. I mean this is done through a loan from the Bank of France, and part of the loan applied will be used directly for the cost of patent transfers. The rest is for investment. Public opinion in recent days has also helped a lot. "
"The mortgage also includes a variety of grains and meat products, which may require a comprehensive consideration from Texas."
After listening to the old man, Sheffield described the whole process, and was surprised to think that the old man could.
"Your father, I am a bachelor of business administration in Texas." Harry Sheffield boasted from the top, "Although many rules are not common in Paris, it does not matter, I have many friends."
There are many girlfriends, and Sheffield added a sentence in his heart. He heard the old man lower his voice and said, "I have created so many days of opportunity for you. Have you succeeded?"
