Chapter 83: First Lady of Chicago

The economy is not good at all. It is not a big problem for people at the Sheffield level, but it is a big problem for the ordinary working class. In recent years, the economy has been sluggish. The capitalists have been struggling to maintain it, and ordinary workers will naturally not What kind of good looks you face, if you really want to make trouble, a big environment is like this. It is a common thing in this era.
Therefore, in the United States of America in 1895, various strikes protested one after another, and the workers hoped to obtain more effective protection. However, in the context of this economic depression, capitalists are absolutely impossible to make concessions, because they are also clinging to their teeth.
This economic depression was just caused by the German guests invited by Sheffield. The economic crisis was the first to erupt in Germany. Five years ago, the German stock market plummeted. Since then, the stock price has fallen for more than two years and more than two years. There were about 15,000 bankruptcies and the scale of railway construction was reduced by 60%. Coincides with the agricultural failure.
However, the German economy has improved, and it is believed that the economy of the United States will also improve due to the general environment in a short time.
As for this economic depression, what will happen in the future? This question is actually very simple. The cycle of capitalism is about a decade or so. In fact, it has already begun. From the beginning of overproduction in the United Kingdom sixty years ago, to 1895, it was almost according to about ten years. One cycle is in progress.
After this economic crisis, Sheffield remembered that when the next economic crisis came, the affected countries began to use the military industry as their main field. They no longer wanted to endure the mistakes of others in their own eyes, and were prepared for a total showdown.
Of course, this idea is still a bit far away. Germany is the source of this economic crisis, and they are not delayed. They are now guests of the Sheffield family. The German economy has recovered and has money to invest in the United States.
Everyone is rich. If you ca n’t, you can cut leeks. In fact, giant trusts appear in various industries. They are cutting leeks themselves, so that small and medium-sized businesses quickly get out of business and empty the market.
Sheffield believes that the land area and population of the United States are here, and the leek definitely grows faster than Britain, France and Germany. The fight between Britain, France, and Germany on the very day was an opportunity for the United States to take off. After all, this is a worse world, and United State Capital continues to persevere.
This is completely different from the situation after a hundred years. It is not because the leek in the United States is gone after a hundred years. It is because the excessive reliance on finance. The leek, which is very lush in the eyes of other countries, is not enough for federal harvest. This is embarrassing.
"I believe that the economic depression has slowly left us! The economy of the German Empire has been improving for two years, and the international environment is beneficial to economic development. There is no reason for only the United States to survive!" Sheffield met at the gathering of celebrities in Chicago Rockefeller Jr., regardless of whether other people know themselves or not, directly said that this year's economic environment is not small but good, and the cloud of economic depression has passed.
Rockefeller Jr. opened his mouth in surprise, is this Texas landlord really so confident? If the other party's main business is agriculture and animal husbandry, Rockefeller Jr. would have almost believed in such a confident partner! But considering that Sheffield is just getting involved in the industrial field, what are you doing in front of so many celebrities? Who will believe you!
Of course, Rockefeller Jr. can also vaguely understand this trend through a professional team, but because of his personality, he will not be so arrogant. The other party has just been exposed to the industrial field. Where is such great confidence?
After some social work with a group of local celebrities, Sheffield walked over to Rockefeller Jr. and whispered, "I thought you wouldn't appear on such occasions, after all, you are such a decent person."
"When I come to Chicago, I always want to get involved, and my sister is married here. She likes this occasion very much." Little Rockefeller sighed helplessly, "I will appear, she will be happier. Not easy to tell you. "
A weird flash in Sheffield's face? What does it mean that things at home are not easy to disclose? Did it involve the drama of the giants' grudges? Why do these high society people always have so many disease-free moans?
However, this is not impossible. Everyone is a different individual, and it is not that everything is smooth if you have money. There is no shortage of people in the world who are free of disease and groaning. Maybe Rockefeller ’s sister is.
Of course, Rockefeller Jr. was reluctant to mention, and Sheffield was not easy to ask. He just mentioned the confidence to prepare to show his fists. After a few drinks, he went to the bathroom. Although he was educated in this rigorous education, he also Dislike this noisy occasion, even the bathroom attracts him more than the lobby.
"Shall I remind him that he has gone wrong?" Rockefeller Jr. saw Sheffield panicking and thought for a second before finally deciding that he hadn't seen it.
Sheffield was actually embarrassed. He clearly remembered that there was no one when he came in. Then, with this woman standing in front of the mirror and having tears in her eyes, her eyes widened. There was only one possibility. There must be one of them. Too.
At this moment, a footstep approached quickly, and Sheffield quickly pulled the lady who wiped the tears in the mirror to avoid the embarrassment. The eyes are opposite, Sheffield's hand is still on the other person's smooth spine. This woman is in her twenties and looks well-dressed, wearing a purple dress and staring at her fiercely, It's not that a woman is chatting outside the door, and she certainly won't let go.
This also proves a problem, that is, the person who went wrong is not her, but Sheffield. A few minutes became as long as a century, and Sheffield had to listen to the sound of water dripping for a while! Wait for someone else to leave before whispering, "Don't talk about this matter, see you are also a high society person. The jewelry on your hands and the diamonds on your neck are valuable. Keeping secrets is good for us."
"You don't know me?" Feeling the temperature of the big hand on the back, the woman thought with her red lips biting, is it a new method? Want to attract your own attention?
"Who are you?" Sheffield asked exaggeratedly. Although the woman is very delicate and has a good figure, the fragrance of her body has penetrated into her nasal cavity, but these make you have to know her?
But afraid that someone would come in again, Sheffield hurried away and prepared to leave, not forgetting to order, "Clean up the tears in the corner of your eyes, so you must install it on such an occasion."
The woman hurriedly sorted it out in front of the mirror and gave the chance for the daredevil to leave.
It was as if Sheffield had n’t happened. Without witnesses, she continued to go back to chatting with Rockefeller Jr. and talked about her confidence in Chicago ’s development prospects.
Rockefeller Jr. introduced Sheffield professors to the University of Chicago. Sheffield was not surprised at all. His family also supported the University of Texas. As soon as he wanted to say something, Rockefeller Jr. saw a figure approaching. He said, "Edith, why are you here!"
"Harold can't come for something!" Edith Rockefeller dropped her eyes on Sheffield, pretending that nothing happened, "This is this?"
"William Sheffield, my partner!" Rockefeller Jr. introduced quickly. "Father also attached great importance to this matter."
"You are the Texas planter!" Edith Rockefeller pretended to be the first to meet, and stretched out her wet wet hand, "I'm Edith Rockefeller!"
"When I first met, it turned out to be the First Lady of Chicago!" Sheffield concealed the embarrassment and said, "The necklace is beautiful!"
