Chapter 256: American Canal Management Company

But Morgan thought about it, and it did n’t deserve too much attention. The Panama Canal took a long time. In the end, no one knows. Now it ’s just the beginning, and we need to observe and observe how things will develop next.
The most important thing right now is the Boer War. According to Morgan ’s estimate, the British government ’s military expenditure of 10 million pounds, if any, is still very few. These few defeats alone have caused considerable losses. The British are likely to issue public bonds in order to continue to support the war.
Soon Morgan came in and described the situation in London, which was similar to Morgan ’s conjecture. After repeated defeats, the support of the British people for the Boer War became clearer, supporting the British government ’s strong attitude towards the Boers. . But fighting requires money, which is a very practical problem.
"Wait a minute, the British will definitely issue public debt. With the local civil power of Britain, the pressure to bear all public debts is too great. Other countries can't wait for the British to die quickly. I believe that the British will definitely contact us. In front of his son, Morgan had a strong self-channel about this, "Now, apart from our United States and neutrality in the Boer War, other countries are opposed to the British voice, leaving little choice for the British. Keep Patience, my son. "
"Father, the United Company seems to have swallowed the right to dig the Panama Canal." Little Morgan mentioned the matter slowly, "This is also a big deal, especially for the government and the military. The Panama Canal has a strong appeal. Such a large project will bring huge benefits. "
"The things we plan now are equally huge." Morgan said insincerely, comforting his son. As for the truth, of course it is not. Seeing others make money, Morgan was bleeding in his heart. For someone like him who can't pick things up even if he loses, there is nothing more distressing than a huge financing that has nothing to do with himself.
And once the Panama Canal starts to work, it will definitely get the support of the federal government. This is the country ’s bottom-line project. It is the best for a businessman to be able to make money from the state. Now this opportunity has become someone else's, and Morgan has to adjust his mood.
Although the Panama Canal has nothing to do with him from beginning to end, in Morgan's eyes, this matter is related to himself, and he already thinks so.
In the country of a group of despicable and shameless people, it is not easy to want to be a patriotic capitalist. Sheffield thinks that he is different from those shameless bastards. Considering the huge risks, this time he is equal to taking over for the country, helping the country to accomplish what it wants to do. The great man, taking over for the country.
The new American Canal Management Company is bidding for the entire United States to attract shareholders to start the construction of the canal. Priority is given to Dixie's shareholding, but Sheffield knows that a large probability is not enough, and it will definitely need some inflow of other funds. After all, this is a large project of hundreds of millions of dollars. The joint company currently does not have the ability to eat single food. To avoid eating solitary food, everything is eaten dry and wiped clean, the day when the antitrust law comes is not far away.
Of course, this is also Sheffield's ability to comfort himself. In fact, he doesn't have the ability to eat solitary food. If he has this ability, as long as someone is next to him like Gael and McHale, he will probably get on himself.
"Actually, Rockefeller Jr. has money and can borrow a little as financing." Anne also knows that her man is struggling with greed and is struggling to stick to the bottom line. She doesn't want to see Sheffield upset.
"Don't borrow! His money is hot!" Sheffield vetoed without thinking, "If I open my mouth because of financing, I believe that Rockefeller Jr. will not stand idly by, but this is definitely not because our personal friendship has reached the level of taking risks together. , He will definitely take the opportunity to modify the sharing period of Texas oil field, I will not agree unless he is adding other chips. "
With the current output of the Texas oil field, it has long been recognized as the first in the United States. Although Rockefeller Jr. has never spoken, Sheffield can feel that the other party wants to finalize the contract.
The profit of a Panama Canal project is not enough for Sheffield to extend the contract period. Even if he sells crude oil at market prices, the long-term profit is more than a canal.
Sheffield will not do such a thing. If there is any industry that Standard Oil can use for exchange, the pharmaceutical industry can make Sheffield tempted, but it is estimated that the Rockefeller family will not change.
In terms of money, isn't there also Boston First Bank? Sheffield should also give some feedback to those families. As the original financing for Southern Electric, it was announced that this is the case. You ca n’t say that you have insufficient liquidity and the risk of eating solitary food is too high, so you are cheap?
A few days later, near December, the Oak Manor in Sheffield welcomed the president of the San Francisco Chinese Guild, Zhang Deqing. When he walked into the manor, Sheffield was carefully wiping a vase with a rag. As a result, as soon as he looked at this aesthetic, he believed that there was nothing wrong with it.
"I don't know if the Spaniards lied to me. If you have time, can you find a few people to identify it? By the way, you are from Jiangxi. Jingdezhen is the place of Jiangxi?" Sheffield wiped her back to Zhang Deqing. The vase, at all, politely indicates the need for help from the other party.
"The boss turned out to have a hobby for porcelain!" Zhang Deqing smiled softly. Just wanting to show his skills, she heard Sheffield say, "I don't like it. I like it because it's valuable, otherwise it's valuable. They all occupy places. However, some businessmen love this thing, and they do n’t have enough ink in their stomachs, so they like to use such things to be elegant. There are many businessmen like this in the United States. "
Sheffield used practical actions to show that this Chinese gentleman thinks a lot about everything. In his eyes, everything has a price. As for the added artistry, his eyes can't distinguish illusory things except gold.
Zhang Deqing's face was flushed, and he couldn't accept that his boss was too straightforward and said, "This is a vase during the Qianlong period, it ..."
"The most important thing during the Qianlong period was that it wiped out the dissatisfied forces of Zhungeer and the Tibetan area, and opened up the territory by millions, not leaving this kind of vase!" Sheffield interrupted each other's words, sighing, "Except that the land and population are real, everything else is fake. And I admire this emperor, and I don't mean to ridicule him."
This is a good TV show, not shooting something useful, staring at Lace News every day. Take photos of Qianlong and pat girls! Qianlong's treatment was fairly good. When he photographed Tang Gaozong, he just patted Wu Zetian. After extinguishing such a big thing as Goguryeo and Turkic, Tang Gaozong and Jiajing had a similar sense of existence.
However, this is not Sheffield ’s concern. Throw away the rags and signal Zhang Deqing to sit down. He then stated his purpose. "The United Company wants the Panama Canal. The main company does not need you Chinese to do it. I have other arrangements. But some The work of repairing the railway still needs manpower. You also know that in Panama, your Chinese workers will definitely have a much greater degree of freedom than in California. At least you do n’t have to be excluded. To be honest, Panamanians are not qualified to exclude you. "
"It is undeniable that I have lied to you, but from the results, most of the Chinese workers who have gone to the Philippines are now living in peace and contentment, and they have their own industries. Although they are small, Chinese people in the United States cannot buy any industries." Xie Field groaned, "In Panama, I expect the joint company to have a greater say, and the cooperation between you and me is that you do your job well, and I guarantee that you will not be disturbed."
The main project of digging the canal is not the need for Chinese people. Sheffield must first settle down. The black ethnic groups in the south can be less, and the use of both Chinese and black people can make a contrast. No one knows more about the urinary nature of black people than he is a slave owner.
When black people are used to dig canals in large quantities, the black ethnic group will surely arouse the resentment of the local people. Under this disgust, the Chinese appear to be very exemplary. What is not contrasted.
And the status of the Canal Zone, once the joint company and the federal government negotiate, will become a country within the country. The Chinese in Panama left Sheffield with the impression that the God of Gamblers was, "President Panama and I have a little friendship!"
And now, the President of Panama must have a little friendship with Sheffield!
This is also a restoration of history. Historical defenders like Sheffield are very pleased. I am even more relieved that the number of black people in New Orleans will decline.
Near Christmas, several heavyweights from Boston First Bank came to New Orleans to communicate with their big customers cordially. Since financing for Southern Electric, their lives have been much better. Barely keeping up with Morgan's pace, until then, almost all of them were thrown by Morgan and could not see the taillight.
Regarding the financing requirements that Sheffield hopes to help, Lowell said that this is exactly what is desired, even in the field of cars and aircraft, as long as Sheffield speaks, they can think of ways.
"That's not necessary, the kind of emerging industry conglomerate can do it!" Sheffield declined the other party's kindness politely. Have Boston's families been suppressed by Morgan in recent years?
At the end of 2009, the American Canal Management Company was formally established and began financing through the First Bank of Boston in the face of the entire society!
