Chapter 101: The teachings of the oil king

"Is there a need for citizens of the South? You did this and replaced it with someone else. I must say frankly, it's arrogant to the extreme!" Little Rockefeller grinned, then apologized, "Sorry, my partner, I It does n’t mean to laugh, you know me. "
What Sheffield said was that he regarded himself as the father of the thirteen states in the South, and even the Democratic presidential candidate was not so arrogant, but Rockefeller Jr. knew that this was not an arrogance. Although the Civil War ended for many years, it was estranged. It still exists, this invisible barrier, especially in each election period.
"It's almost election year again!" Sheffield said meaningfully, "I really don't know which cannon fodder the Republican Party is going to send to Texas? No matter how many times it comes, it's useless. Texas citizens hate the Republican Party. "
Sheffield felt that what he said was a bit weird. Texas was clearly a Republican stronghold after 100 years.
"But after all, if the Rockefeller family had such prestige, wouldn't it be the same choice as I did, it would be more than 20 million citizens in thirteen states who do any business, as long as they compete with Northern Capital, they will Naturally support you, who can control this kind of greed? Is Westinghouse familiar with it? "Sheffield wasn't trying to explain something, it was like this.
"It's also a big company in Pennsylvania and the biggest competitor of General Electric. Our relationship with Westinghouse Electric is okay. It's not like there is a conflict with Carnegie." Rockefeller Jr. was very frank, telling the ins and outs of it. For Sheffield For this kind of person, concealment is really unnecessary. "Westinghouse Electric has a good relationship with Tesla. It uses Tesla ’s AC patent. In Chicago two years ago, Westinghouse conducted the operation and helped Tesla win. The current war has a lot to do with Tesla. "
"It seems that Westinghouse's support for Tesla is far less than Morgan's support for Edison. Otherwise, Tesla's situation has not changed!" Sheffield brows slowly.
Rockefeller Jr. spread his hands to explain Westinghouse Electric, "Edison is behind Morgan, and there are not many people who fight against Morgan for an electrical engineer."
"But what about you?" Rockefeller Jr. said a little, and looked at Sheffield up and down. "If you come out as the heir of the Sheffield family, I believe Westinghouse Electric also welcomes cooperation."
The second child of any industry can't wait for the boss to die quickly. If there is such an opportunity, Rockefeller Jr. also believes that there are also a large number of oil dealers who hope that the standard oil crash.
"If you act as an intermediary, I believe that the success rate of cooperation will increase greatly." Sheffield's expression is a bit cheap, "From what you just said, your home Westinghouse must be a little connected."
"I can't say this. Is there a conflict between Standard Oil and General Electric!" Rockefeller Jr. took two steps backwards and said deeply, "Unless?"
"You want to blackmail me, let's just listen to it!" Sheffield knew as soon as he heard it, this is a drama called unprofitable and not too early to be staged in front of him. Sure enough, Rockefeller Jr. asked the Sheffield family to help. Exploration within Mexico ’s territory also includes Sheffield ’s preferential transportation for the Southern Fleet.
"You are too difficult for a strong man. You are just a middleman. The subordinate fleet can be discussed. As for exploration on the Mexican side, you should go to the President of Mexico." Sheffield shook his head. Like a rattle, he repeatedly refused, "I can't do it, I really can't do it."
"Don't make a fuss, do you still use my relationship with Mexico? How many people are on your frontier on your border, eh!" Rockefeller Jr. shook his head slightly, "Mexico and Dexa Sri Lanka is close at hand, and many businessmen from Mexico close to Texas are connected to your family. "
"You also know that I haven't graduated long before, I don't know many things!" Sheffield's face was confused, he was not pretending to be, if it was not mentioned by Rockefeller Jr., how could he know his home before the Civil War? Drug trafficking?
But Sheffield didn't want to agree, why is the Rockefeller family so interested in the Gulf of Mexico now? Has it been seen through extensive exploration experience?
I have to say that Sheffield is now greedy, because I know that there are oil zones around the Gulf of Mexico, including Mexico, Texas and Louisiana, so I always want to hide it and do n’t want Rockefeller to discover it.
But if electrification does not pull Westinghouse Electric, he may face great pressure in the face of General Electric. Now he must make a choice and finally nod, "If it can promote the full cooperation between Westinghouse and our family, I am willing to assist you and Mexico. While communicating, but if you think about it, once the Mexican territory really has oil, will the Mexican government give you a share? Is n’t it better for them to develop by themselves. "
"I develop the same equipment that imports standard oil, so you don't have to worry about this matter." Little Rockefeller smiled mysteriously. Obviously there was already a draft in his heart, and he smiled, "I will leave it to the middleman of Westinghouse Electric. . "
Among the huge villas in Rockefeller Manor, a house with dim lighting, a thin, sharp-eyed old man sitting on a leather chair, listening indifferently to Little Rockefeller, said after a long time, "Sheffield United Company, preparing Get involved in the electrical field. "
"It should be William's own decision. After all, he is only 16 years old, and some considerations are not comprehensive!" Rockefeller Jr. gave his own judgment.
"No, it's Mrs. Anna's decision, even if it's not her support." Old Rockefeller's eyes flashed a strange light. "You are not old, but I also hope that you can manage standard oil. The replacement of old and new is inevitable. occurring."
Rockefeller Jr. naturally did not dare to disobey his father's opinions, but it was strange to say, "The Sheffield family has been running their own business for many years and is involved in a new field. Isn't it risky?"
"Morgan is the one who really wants to intervene in everything. Through asset restructuring and mergers and acquisitions in the past few years, there is no industry he doesn't like, and he wants to move from finance to the front of the stage." Old Rockefeller said expressionlessly, then As soon as the words changed, he said in a peculiar tone, "Of course, this is for the orderly development of various industries to establish a good order. Just like I used to rectify the oil order."
"That's it?" Rockefeller Jr. nodded, and heard his father say, "You just do this middleman, and I also want to see if there will be anything interesting in this competition in the electrical field. .Morgan should also suffer a little. My child, if you look at it from the side, it can be regarded as an accumulation of experience. Maybe you will encounter Morgan in the future. "
