Chapter 413: Admiralty guests

There is no one who respects the boss of a soldier more than a slave owner. This is undoubtedly. As for the conflict with the Ministry of Justice, it is limited to the Ministry of Justice, not to other departments of the federal government. It is generally preventable and controllable. The fault of one department of the Ministry of Justice cannot be used to show that the federal government is malicious to the joint company.
"Dear Mr. Dodd, Mr. James, everyone is now aware of the situation. The Justice Department has fallen into a frenzy and made irrational actions. This time I came to New York with the goodwill of the United Company, hoping to be able to Reduce internal friction. "Pat nodded to two industry peers, showing his goodwill.
Dodd is a lawyer of the Rockefeller family. He has served Standard Oil for almost as long as the time when this super trust was established. Many people think that the trust business model is Dodd's advice to old Rockefeller.
As for another lawyer who is more familiar with it, representing North Securities Company against the White House, he is already a figure in the industry.
Pat came to New York this time and took the initiative to find the chief lawyers of the two giants, naturally having his own purpose. There is no way to unite all forces that can oppose the government. Sheffield means that unity is impossible. Large companies join forces to fight the federal government, and the risks are very great.
Once all the companies involved in antitrust laws are united, there will naturally be two results, defeating the federal government, then all companies will not be able to hide, and they must inevitably come to the front.
This is unlikely, because once all businesses join together, it means that the White House is concerned and tells the citizen class that President Roosevelt is right. The country has been controlled by greedy large enterprises.
Then there will be a second result, because many large enterprises unite and hold a group against the federal government. Citizens will support the White House to adopt tough means to let these combined large enterprises die together.
Anything will cause half and half of the results, so that successful people such as slave owners will hit bad luck, that will definitely not work. Even if it is a fluke to let the federal government see you again, what will happen in the future? Is it true that the victorious big enterprise has to decide the male and female? After all, the businesses of many companies overlap.
Once this happens, Sheffield is very familiar with similar history. Isn't it another version of the warlord warfare? There is only one winner in the end, and all other competitors are going to die.
If the slave owner came with a few nuclear bombs when he was reborn, he would not have to choose, but choose the latter directly. But he did not, then he could only continue to resist within the rules and using legal means.
How can those with vested interests choose to die, but it does not mean they do nothing, and it is still possible to give each other a guarantee. Pat, as the chief lawyer of the United Company, came to New York this time for this purpose.
"At such a difficult time, my boss wants to avoid competition between enterprises and fight the attack of the Federal Ministry of Justice with all his strength. I believe this is also very in our mutual interest." Pat took from his bag Come out a contract and put it on the contract, "In simple terms, in order to avoid malicious competition, the joint company hopes that between Standard Oil, PetroChina and the joint company, a non-digging contract will be signed and the high salary will be strictly used. The technical personnel and management personnel of each other's company are taken away. If they are found, they must compensate for the loss. In the three companies, some people want to change jobs, and the other companies cannot accept them, unless the other two parties agree, the two gentlemen can look at the contract first. Everyone is a legal professional. If you have anything to add, you can talk about it. "
Dodd and James exchanged glances and checked the contract quietly. For the contract that Pat took out, the two people have been in the legal field for so many years, and naturally they can see the real purpose.
Not digging each other's corners is naturally to prevent the flow of related talents in the field of competition among several companies. The biggest advantage is that you can avoid digging corners with high salaries. After removing this worries, you can avoid raising wages due to competition and saving huge manpower expenses. Provide talents to the society regularly every year without worrying about causing criticism.
"Once one of our three, there is an example, the doors of the three companies will be closed for this person forever." Dodd looked through the contract while looking at the sidewalk, "including all our alliancers."
"Adding our alliance members can be said that the so-called talents with great talents have entered the social death." James raised an eyebrow and smiled, "It is a valuable thing to avoid unfair competition. Contracts."
Once this agreement is made, relevant companies can communicate with each other to tell each other which staff can be hired and by whom. By exchanging important employees or prohibiting exchanges, mutual companies can avoid the risk of bringing expensive lawsuits or losing important employees to protect their intellectual property rights.
You can also pinch the flow of related talents and screen out those who are truly loyal to the company. The benefits are simply too much.
"Pat, did you get the full authorization of the joint company?" After watching the contract in a few minutes, James looked at his old friend and got a positive answer from Pat. He continued, "I still need to get Mr. Morgan ’s I agree, in any case, at such a difficult time, we companies should not continue to pull each other ’s hind legs and be able to protect each other, which is really gratifying. "
"Yeah, at such a difficult time, my boss said that if we hold a group against the federal government, we will only make things bigger and bigger, and we may not even be able to clean it up in the end. This time, we can only survive the storm and hope that we will All have good luck. "Pat said very sincerely," I hope we can make economic rules here in a few years. "
In the Oak Manor, Sheffield teased a milk dog with a meat sausage, and teased sideways, "Yangji, come here!" Wanted, even the little milk dog with the running belt ran over, turning around his master .
Sheffield wasn't in a hurry. She was just teasing, but not in a hurry to let the little dog achieve her goal. Using action to prove that in the eyes of the little milk dog, although I am not a human, you are a real dog.
"You look like it's anxious!" Sheffield, holding the sausage, looked at the little dog anxiously, turned her head to Natalia, and when she looked back, Xiao was drooling anxiously, "Look for It's greedy! "
"It's all flowing like this, give it to the intestines quickly." Natalia shouted when she saw that the dog was pitiful.
The bodyguards around are still a little far away. Everyone is an elite, and they should carry out what they should not ask. These vulgar words should not be heard.
"Speak later and exercise restraint!" Sheffield threw the meat sausage to the little dog, and took Natalia to a chair in the shade. Natalia's face was red, as if the sentence was just right. A little bit ambiguous.
After lying down and chatting for a while, Jesra strode forward and said, "Boss, Mr. Pat said that it has been negotiated. Everyone is very satisfied. Both companies thank you."
"Thanks, isn't it all for yourself?" Sheffield chuckled, and said irritably, "If it would be good for everyone, they would agree? It really seems so easy to send a thousand talents to society every year?"
If it is a hundred years later, such an agreement is a situation that disrupts the normal flow of human resources in the market and causes unfair competition in the industry, and is a violation of antitrust laws. From the perspective of the contract law, it violates the basic principles of public order and good customs. As an individual, it can be considered from the perspective of the company violating the labor law and damaging the rights and interests of the individual ’s workers.
But in the early 20th century, this was undoubtedly a great innovation, and it did not violate the relatively crude antitrust laws. Many provisions of the antitrust law itself are very vague, and they are even less concerned with the non-digging agreement.
"Mr. Pat did not say when he will return!" Sheffield asked Jesra casually.
"He said he would go to farmers everywhere to collect the response and prepare to compete with the Ministry of Justice." Jesra also heard the next step from Pat's few words.
At Washington Railway Station, Alice Roosevelt followed the admiral's observers on the train excitedly. The Admiralty is an important part of the federal government and is more valued than other combat departments. The Secretary of the Navy is a permanent member of the President's Cabinet, but the War Department in charge of the Army is not.
Thinking of being able to meet the man in my heart right away, Alice Roosevelt is in a great mood, and has a good time talking with the first-class people who have high eyes. President Roosevelt itself has a strong influence in the Admiralty. Daughter, these observers naturally expressed their friendliness. From their point of view, this is a public tour.
Being able to enjoy the sun and the beach in the south should be the biggest harvest this time. As for other harvests, the destination Houston shipyard is a shipyard with equipment and personnel that cannot be compared with the East Coast shipyard. What technology can shipyards accumulate? No 10,000-ton ship is shipped from here.
In any case, these observers have no hope, and they have focused their attention mainly on an affair. Think about what's wrong, maybe you can drop a pie in the sky?
"Unfortunately I can't blow up the aircraft carrier too!" Sheffield rarely brought a bottle of perfume, as if going out on a date. Whether the Admiralty is not interested in aircraft carriers is a trivial matter.
It does n’t matter if you ’re not interested, it ’s the United States of America that loses, and sells it to Cuba when it ’s a big deal. Can you still smash your hands? It's just that he didn't dare to put fireworks on the aircraft carrier. The aircraft carrier is not like a submarine. It is easy to say that it is an accident. It really blows up and will only smash the Houston shipyard brand.
