Chapter 196: Counterattack

To be honest, if there is a national capital penetration behind, no matter what the purpose of this capital is, anyway Sheffield's instinct is uncomfortable, especially Texas itself is close to Mexico. Naturally, as a neighbor, hope stability is above everything else.
Instability is also acceptable, but it cannot be the point where future generations are all drug dealers, so Texas is bound to be hit. How good is Mexico next to the northern states? Sheffield is not opposed to a source of confusion affecting others, the key is not to affect yourself.
Although Mexico was chaotic in the late nineteenth century, it was not comparable to later generations. In later generations, Mexico was not a group of drug dealers and governments. This inevitably insulted Mexican private armed forces. They are just a group of real warlords who are raising funds through drug trafficking. They are themselves in a state of quasi-civil war, weakening the Republic of China.
The United States surrendered to the defeat of Mexico by means of the means. It is still a very backward thing. Although Mexico is now cut by a war in the United States, almost sand is left. But Mexico ’s spirit is still there, and the time when the spirit is lost is almost the same as the time when the trend of the Cold War became clear.
Reagan made a Jedi counterattack against the Soviet Union by the President of the United States. The price he paid was not only the bloodletting of Japan and Germany. Mexico, as a neighbor next to the United States, has also become a major goal for the capitalist beacon to release pressure.
So before the Soviet Union recognized the neoliberal economy, the neoliberal economy was first introduced to Mexico. In order to pay off debts, the old Mexico began to implement large-scale privatization of industry and agriculture; attract foreign investment in exchange for funds to pay off debts; Protective tariffs and agricultural credit subsidies for most agricultural products seek to join the North American Free Trade Agreement and expand exports to the US and Canadian consumer markets.
Afterwards, the United States used its economic means far beyond Mexico. First, it used the treatment of Mexico to see what effect it would have on the Soviet Union. The effect was very surprising.
What happened a hundred years later has nothing to do with the current Mexican debt, but it can be used as a reference. Not even Sheffield believed in the ethics of financial capital. In the event that Morgan really took Mexico in his hands, the United Company seemed very passive.
"Why don't you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch!" Sheffield took a cold sentence.
"William, what are you talking about?" A big question mark appeared on the head of Little Rockefeller. What language did the other person just speak?
"An oriental proverb, I am a bachelor of history at the University of Texas at Austin." Sheffield played with her fingers, but the brain boasted that boasting had become a habit for Sheffield.
After boasting, it is naturally thinking. The value of thinking is not worth looting before Morgan. If Rockefeller Jr. is used in the financial industry, Sheffield does not know this thing ...
Sheffield stepped out of her thoughts and blinked at Rockefeller Jr., rubbing her white teeth and asking, "My dear partner, why are you telling me this? What is your intention? You are reminding me thousands of miles away , Watch out for Morgan? Do I have to thank you! "
Why would Rockefeller Jr. take the initiative to mention this matter, even when he stared at Cuba, he came directly to the door? Out of friendship with partners? Who believes this excuse?
"Naturally, it was a counterattack against the financiers who entered the industry!" Rockefeller Jr. did not conceal his attempt, and even after being questioned by Sheffield, he did not justify it. "As a financial banker, the Rockefeller family believes that the hands of Morgan and his sons are a bit long. In fact, this is also the consensus of many companies. The hope is that the move of Morgan and his sons is blocked, but in the current domestic environment, our Rockefeller family dare not act rashly, almost every day Standard Oil is fighting against the antitrust bill, and its own goals are already too large. Of course, because of the cooperative relationship with the joint company, part of the pressure against antitrust laws has now been transmitted to the joint company. "
"Should I thank you for your reminder?" Sheffield interrupted badly, but this one was willing to fight one by one. Rockefeller took the initiative to come to the door to cooperate, and he also hoped to tie up a powerful North Of allies, the risk shared is by both parties, and it ’s impossible to say who will take advantage of who loses.
"Thanks for nothing!" Rockefeller Jr. waved his hand and was able to get an ally like Anti-Trust Law, but he also did his best to remind the joint company to pay attention to the actions of Morgan and his son. In the environment where the domestic antitrust law is the biggest goal, Standard Oil naturally dare not act rashly.
Sheffield also understands this point, and then there is another major issue, "Standard oil in Mexico is not threatened by antitrust laws, and directly confronting Morgan and his sons in the steel industry has too much influence, and William you also said There are giants like Carnegie in the steel industry. It is not a problem in a short period of time, so Standard Petroleum and United Corporation can do it in the country and occupy a certain amount of steel without attracting federal antitrust law investigators. Share. Then invest the main funds in Mexico, where the environmental standard oil will not be restricted. "
wonderful! Sheffield also had to admire Rockefeller Jr.'s voice and praised, "Uncle Rockefeller and Old Morgan are the real opponents."
"Of course, my father's plan ... uncle?" Rockefeller Jr. paused suddenly, and looked like you took advantage of me less. "My father and Mrs. Anna are contemporaries."
"The name is wrong! I know." Sheffield secretly said, he didn't call it wrong. Although the old Rockefeller and the Lafayette were the same generation, but they didn't know each other, they were very familiar with Edith Rockefeller. There is no wrong name.
Rockefeller Jr. only reacted afterwards. Sheffield had set out this method of arrogance, not by his own attention, but by the advice of his father.
This means that domestically, because of the threat of antitrust laws, it is difficult for Standard Oil to stabilize its dominance in the oil field. However, as a leader in industrial capital, Standard Oil naturally has its own financial strength. Although it is not as strong as Morgan and Son, it uses It is enough to do general things.
Mexico's debt problem can be used as a battlefield to counter Morgan's involvement in industrial entities.
"Mexico things, you should know more than me, how do you feel about the prospects?" Rockefeller Jr. asked with a low profile. Any financing needs to be profitable. If the prospects are not good, even the standard oil majors , Nor can you throw money into the water just because you are competing with Morgan and Son.
Considering Morgan's keen response to this kind of thing, Rockefeller Jr. didn't think it was a problem, he could compete in a foreign country not subject to antitrust law, but he was also afraid that it was a blind eye. Specially came to ask Sheffield who is a neighbor to the Mexican.
"It should not be a problem!" Sheffield thought for a moment. Although Mexico was defeated by the United States, its development potential is still there. It is far from reaching the development limit at this stage, and once money is lent, certain assets must be used as Mortgage, this basic operation, is known even by Rockefeller Jr. as a joint company with zero financial accumulation.
Sheffield and Rockefeller Jr looked at each other and said, "That's it." Since Morgan and Son used the steel industry as a stepping stone to enter the industrial entity, Standard Oil and United Company cut Hu Morgan in Mexico.
Once this kind of bond is undertaken, it is definitely not something that two companies can afford to cooperate. In fact, most of the money used by Morgan is not his own, but belongs to other coalitions, even ordinary citizens who believe that it is profitable.
When it comes to Mexico ’s public debt, this matter is really more important than Sheffield. The joint company ’s headquarters is in Texas, although he has transferred some of the newly expanded industries to California, but Texas is It will not be given up. This joint counterattack against Morgan and his son is in the field where Morgan is good. It is not excessive to carefully formulate plans. This is not the ongoing US-Spanish war and will definitely win.
Unlike Morgan ’s superstitious credit in the financial industry, it ’s not easy to blockbuster in areas where United is not good at, even with the help of Standard Oil. What's more, the financial industry itself is an industry with very few authorities and the vast majority of scammers. There are too many scammers, and fools are not enough.
In order to find enough receivers, it is possible to use the appeal of the United Company in the south, but this appeal is still not necessary. Once the Mexican public debt is taken over, in what name will it be released?
The release is definitely to be released, although in the event of a miss, it will be in the hands of Standard Oil and United Company. All losses will be borne by the two companies, and the negative impact may cause the two young giant ship captains to be questioned. . Sheffield is comfortable in this respect. Most industries are not listed. The most important industry of the Rockefeller family is Standard Oil, which is not a joint company.
So even if Sheffield said that both companies could eat up Mexican bonds, and all profits or losses would be borne by themselves, Rockefeller Jr. would not agree. The models of the two companies are fundamentally different. He does not have the freedom of Sheffield.
"Even if you think the prospects are good, you have to ask the citizens to take over." Rockefeller Jr. shook his head vigorously, indicating that you are not playing finance, but gambling.
