Chapter 96: Public-private partnership

Coubertin got what he wanted. Although the sponsorship of 100,000 US dollars is a huge sum for anyone, for companies that Standard Oil donates tens of millions of dollars, it is far from a pain. He is not like Sheffield. It is well known that agricultural products accumulate wealth more slowly than industrialization. The Sheffield family has no money, only land.
Can you stop it? Annie's face has a fever. When it comes to money, why doesn't it conform to the image of Sunshine Boy? Doesn't it mean that you don't know how much land there is in your family? Is it false to take out millions of shares in United Fruit Company without blinking your eyes?
"Isn't it money to organize a team to participate in the Olympics? Isn't the newspaper appeal in Latin America the money? Isn't the prize money for setting up the game money? It's only small money, and it's big money in the future!" Sheffield, who rubbed Anne's ear, rubbed his face. Heartache, why can't her female companion understand her own pain.
"You must ask the federal government to let them allocate funds to support this matter." Sheffield said to Rockefeller's brother, "This is originally a matter of the state, and we should not let us folk patriots pay."
"This is difficult. Next year is an election year. Furthermore, the economy has been sluggish in the past few years. Until now, it has been somewhat stable. The federal government has no money!" Little Rockefeller frowned slightly and shook his head. "Nothing is more important than elections. The government will pay attention to a sports meeting held for the first time next year. If I were a government official, I would not agree. "
"John is right, and it's unreasonable for folks to participate in the games and let the federal government pay." Edith Rockefeller stood by his brother. "There is no reason to do so."
"I just mention it casually. The federal government can of course disagree. I will let the federal government know if you disagree." Sheffield God is in the way. "It's just that since it is a private name, I will say everything. . All honors have nothing to do with the federal government, because it is personally sponsored by me and my partners. "
"I don't understand, just like your Rockefeller family sent millions of kerosene lamps to China ten years ago, they have a good relationship. Although after giving the Chinese kerosene lamps, because standard oil is the biggest oil company, You earn money again, but you are still thanked by others. "Sheffield mentioned the past of the Rockefeller family.
About ten years ago in China, Standard Company created a new market for itself. It sent away millions of cheap oil lamps to enable the Chinese to buy and ignite the kerosene of the Standard Company, which people call "lighting the Asian light", and in this way, the Standard Oil Company expanded the oil market from Europe step by step To Asia and then to the whole world.
In all fairness, although the purpose is not simple, Rockefeller's appearance in China is still better than that in the United States. Rockefeller's standard oil in China is far from such a conscience. This operation is almost comparable to the conscience of the US Emperor, but this can only be done in this era. American businessmen play this role in the world. It must be a little more conscientious than European businessmen, whether they are willing or unwilling.
The United States is still a dragon slayer, at least it will be a ruin for Europe to become a ruined dragon. It will become the world ’s undisputed economic center of the police. Only then can the mask of hypocrisy be torn apart.
If the federal government is not prepared to share the costs, then all the benefits will naturally belong to him and the Rockefeller Jr. sponsor, and because Sheffield is a citizen of the United States, he must share it with the state. The capitalists have no motherland, this matter must be clearly distinguished.
Now that he has boarded the thief ship, Rockefeller Jr. can only agree. The position of Sheffield as a partner in his eyes is far more important than that of the Federation that does not know what it is doing. The Federation not only does not provide convenience to large enterprises, but also It is always obvious who uses the antitrust method to find trouble, and whom Rockefeller prefers, which is obvious.
"There is still one year left, enough to select athletes to participate in the Olympics. Not to mention that we have enough technology in the pharmaceutical industry, all of this is not a problem." Little Rockefeller thinks that it is still early, and it is definitely not a problem to shock the four in the Olympics.
This is exactly the same as Sheffield's judgment, and he feels the same way, but compared to using Rockefeller Jr. with medicine, he can change the way and use a lot of training and practice to do it all. Let the people who are most suitable for track and field take part in the track and field, and use the high jump talent to participate in the high jump.
The nationwide system is not a new operation. The republics and Soviets of the later generations did so, and the results proved to be very effective.
Taking the national interest as the highest goal, mobilize relevant resources and powers nationwide, the state pays for the deployment of excellent coaches and hardware and software facilities, and centrally selects, trains, and trains talented outstanding sports athletes to participate in international sports events such as the Olympic Games. Compete with other countries in the competition, strive for excellent competition results, break records, and win the gold medal of the sports system.
Sheffield feels that this method is very suitable for presenting the image of the United States on the international stage in the current environment, just like the Soviet Union after World War II and the Republic after the Cold War. The international environment requires the country to make achievements at a certain level, to stabilize the people's hearts and fight for national honor.
The present United States is such a position. Compared with the old imperialist countries in Europe, the United States has absolutely no right to speak and national image. It is impossible to solve the problem through war. Anglo-French-Germany stands out one by one, and the United States is the younger brother. Not to mention the debt owed to Europe by billions of dollars.
Essentially, if it were not for Europe itself, it would be difficult to do it first, giving the United States the opportunity to clear its debts. The debt situation of the United States is almost the same as that of future African countries that are forced by the World Bank.
"Once an athlete has achieved good results, we can use him to contribute to our cause. For example, you can say that this athlete ate the product of Rockefeller Pharmaceuticals before he broke his physical limit. Has become the fastest person in the world. By that time, give him false reputation and status and become an agent of our major industries. This is not a lot of money saved, it is better than investing money in charity, which is useless. Many. It is a model of public-private partnership that can benefit oneself and be patriotic.
"John, William makes sense!" Before waiting for Rockefeller Jr. to speak, Edith Rockefeller first said that he very much agreed with Sheffield's idea, and the latter has been carrying weights in Chicago recently.
"I have business integrity, and I will never regret it. Rest assured!" Rockefeller Jr. gave his sister a strange look. When did Edith become interested in this matter.
