Chapter 249: Aggressive old man

Compared to the blind optimism of Gail and McHale, Sheffield did not actually have much confidence. He has long felt that it is very difficult to change history, at least in this era.
This change in history is not to say that grabbing a few emerging industries to make yourself more rich! It is to change the direction of history. The closer you are to modern life, the harder it is to change history. At the end of the nineteenth century, it was not an era when civilizations did not interfere with each other, and their own joint company could be more powerful in Haiti, Liberia, and Kuwait.
However, in the face of a slightly self-respecting country, it is completely unsuitable, and the United Company cannot even manage Colombia. In this era, Colombia was not a faithful licking of dogs in the United States one hundred years later. It obeyed all the orders of the United States and blocked Venezuela. Not to mention, the Panama Canal is not just about Colombia, there are British and French shadows.
Even if Sheffield was inflating, he did not dare to treat the British and French colonial empires as Haiti. As he said, this involves country-to-state confrontation. His motherland, the United States of America, did not dare to confront these two countries. But it is to rely on the geographical position, obstruct the French, and prevent the Panama Canal from being completed as scheduled.
"Did the two of you just plan in your study and came over to draw me a cake?" Sheffield asked, tilting her head. "There is no news from Panama? What does public opinion tell me? My eyes are black. Is it necessary to summon armed forces to plan Panama's independence? "
If this is the case, then Sheffield had to admire the two people. Sure enough, she had the style of my Dixie. If you do n’t think about it, just take a gun and do it. However, this style of doing things by taking a gun, first in the Civil War, then in rebellion against Brazil, knocked himself on the head and broke the blood, it seems that nothing was obtained.
"Of course we have our own news. The Panamanian people know that once the canal is successfully cut, they will be the profiting party, and the Colombian government's abduction of the local people for patriotic sentiment has aroused resentment." Gail 15 Ten said, "Panama has a huge investment in the United States, which is completely different from other places in Colombia, and the people have different ideas."
"You didn't lie to me?" Sheffield looked at the two of them. Both of them nodded, saying that they were definitely not looking for an excuse to plan for independence. This is the case.
This did not surprise Sheffield. This sentiment made him look for an example. In fact, it is very much like the people of Ryukyu, or the people of Okinawa in Japan. The local people do not necessarily have much affection for the Republic, but for the US base. That's really disgusting.
The reason is that Japan actually dislikes the status quo of being stationed by the United States Army, but it has no ability to resist. So try not to let the mainland be harassed, Okinawa is a victim thrown by Japan. The people of Okinawa sacrificed some things better than the sacrifices of local people. Okinawa people are treated like second-class people in Japan.
The benefits did not enjoy much, it was all right that the American soldiers could not control their crotch, and all the people of Okinawa felt it.
This is the case in Panama. Colombians know that paradise is too far and the United States is too close. They do n’t want the canal project to fall into the hands of powerful countries that are too close. For the sake of distance, beauty has always been expressed to the French. But the residents of Panama did not think so. They only knew that the canal was opened and they were the beneficiaries. The problem was that the canal could not be started because the Colombian government took its own money.
The construction of the railway and the development of the canal project made the elite of Panama full of illusions about the future. When the United States, France, and Colombia were in trouble with the issue of concessions for the canal, Panama ’s elite was very worried. They realized that the excessively intense patriotic sentiment in Colombia would make the prospect of success in canal excavation dim. When the French Canal Company was in trouble due to poor management, the Panamanians deeply felt the great threat to their own interests.
"People are so selfish, but it is a good thing for our country." Sheffield was sentimental and saw that both of them were looking forward to waiting for themselves to nod, and said in silence, "Since there is this independent public opinion and Basically, it is not impossible to plan. The main question now is whether the federal government can scare the Colombians. The question is still back to the question just started. If we want to find a way to let the French let go, even if we just let go a little It ’s easier for Colombians to feel uncomfortable. "
"I thought William you had a connection in Colombia. Wasn't your family growing poppies in Colombia?" McHale was still disappointed when he heard the French people.
"McHale!" Gael quickly stab McHale and said, "Don't say anything about the past, it's been decades."
Now the United Company is a big company. To avoid mentioning the black history, his friends stepped on the pain points of the United Company in a hurry. Sheffield was naturally uncomfortable, but he still said, "Don't mention this matter in the future. In this way, sending someone to contact Panama in the name of the three of us, I think Keane is very suitable. Find a local big family The matter is mainly divided into three directions: the federal government, the Panamanian side, and the French side. The federal government has no major problems. Panama ’s opinion can be ignored. It depends mainly on whether the old man can solve this problem. "
Sheffield did not mention the Colombian government. This country has been neglected by him. The United Company had nothing to do with this country. That is, the Galeries Lafayette set fire to the forest to grow medicinal materials and raise military expenses for the civil war. After so many years now, there is no longer any incense.
Since she decided to intervene, Sheffield didn't need to save money. She used a few more newspapers to say hello to the old man. Anyway, the cost of using more sheets of paper is not too expensive for him.
"Dear father, it's no accident that the United Company did not receive even a cent from the Paris branch. The grandmother was not very satisfied with the operation of the branch. I already had the meaning of canceling the branch. It was me. It stopped. Out of the fact that the relationship between father and son, I personally will not mention the matter of applying for Kodak's sales manager. Considering the scale of the joint company and Kodak, this is not something that makes the family have a long face. "
"In order to express the value of my father in Paris, now as the heir of the United Company, I have one thing to ask you. One small thing caught my grandmother's attention, that is, the Panama Canal issue. I heard that the French company that runs the canal is not doing well The company intends to take over this unprofitable mess and hopes you can inquire about the situation. "
"The Panama Canal issue will determine whether the Paris branch will be revoked. If the father is willing to stay away for more than ten years and come back to be educated by his grandmother, this matter can be ignored."
Sheffield had no psychological burden at all, and in the name of Galeries Lafayette, let the old father who was going to work in Paris take care of himself. The old man should be a little serious, and always carrying weight is not good for his health.
"This is threatening me. Is the Panama Canal a trifle? Why not make money, William is in the country, and he doesn't understand better than me. This is the federal government constantly blocking the French."
Harry Sheffield's face was sullen, and he felt that his enthusiasm for his son had all fed the dog. Now this white-eyed wolf wants to cut off his own food. The weather in Paris is not warm this season, but it makes him furious. His body is only wearing a pajama. The elephant's nose underneath is leaking out. prove.
"Harry, what's wrong?" A woman without a sliver came in from outside, holding a bottle of red wine in her hand, and was ready to have a drink with the successful person who had just started.
"It's nothing, dear!" Harry Sheffield put the woman in his arms directly and kissed him. "The wine is drinking for a while. I'm more angry now. I believe you are the same. The most important thing is to eliminate the fire."
After finishing the work, Harry Sheffield took out his most precious thing, a phone book, constantly reading through the above contact information, and asked back, "Alyssa, do you know any friends in engineering, that is the kind of undertaking large projects Company. I want to find a friend in this regard to know, of course, if a woman is the best. "
"Do you want to harm other women?" Elizabeth glanced at the man, but the passion she had just made her very satisfied. In this respect, this young man is definitely a gift. The technique also made her feel the turbulent waves, and now she didn't want to move a finger, lazily, "What kind of engineering company do you want?"
"It's better to be on the canal!" Harry Sheffield reached under the quilt, groping and pointing, "I will thank you very much."
Deep down, Harry Sheffield, who did n’t want to end his current life, started the uncommon efficiency of his forty years of life under the threat of his mother ’s food shortage. Make inquiries, showing the charm of his successful man.
After this is done, he can continue to playboy's life and do whatever he wants.
In the end, Harry Sheffield successfully found the headquarters of the French Canal Company. In the process, he already knew that this company was already in the domestic and foreign troubles due to various reasons, most of them from the United States. Let him feel that this matter is actually not difficult.
