Chapter 289: Pittsburgh

"Are you guarding my brother?" Edith Rockefeller replied with a slight dissatisfaction when he heard the sound outside the string.
"This is a flow of hundreds of millions of dollars. Who can't guard against such a large amount of wealth?" Sheffield said indifferently. "Because that's your brother, I don't care anymore? Your money is in it."
"It makes sense!" Edith Rockefeller heard, and confirmed his position. No one can believe that such a large amount of funds is involved, including his younger brother Rockefeller.
"Actually, I am also worried about Morgan's attitude. If we say that we are digging Tesla for the first time and set up Southern Electric, we can also explain normal competition. The problem of Mexican public debt can be said to be a joint company. This time, if Carnegie Steel was taken over, it was an obvious attack. The third confrontation could not be explained by coincidence anyway. The two sides have basically been enemies since then, and the domestic economic landscape may change. To whom will this change be more beneficial? I feel a little nervous when the time comes! "Sheffield rubbed her face and suddenly looked up at Edith Rockefeller." I said I am afraid you believe it? "
He is really a little afraid of full-scale confrontation now. Although he has thought about this problem before, he has thought about it. Faced with faced, these are two problems. Zhen and Morgan and his son are opposite each other. A little trembling.
"What are you afraid of? Isn't there still standard oil!" Edith Rockefeller sat directly next to Sheffield. His huge hips put the sofa under the pressure that it shouldn't have, and the force collapsed deeply into it.
Mum ... Even Sheffield heard the spring inside and made an overwhelming voice, tilting her head and teasing, "My dear, you have changed a set of furniture. You should have a correct understanding of your body. . "
"It doesn't matter, it's your size!" Edith Rockefeller raised his eyebrows and said in a pun. "You and I have complementarity and can work together to the fullest. You should admit this in your heart."
Since it was a compliment that she was big, Sheffield closed all orders and was about to pay for it, but was stopped by Edith Rockefeller. "There is much time at night, so don't worry about such a short time ..."
"Oh, by the way, there is a project related to your fashion company." Sheffield thought about the project in Puerto Rico and described the ins and outs of the matter.
So far, the domestic atmosphere of the United States is still very conservative. Although there is no such excessiveness in Confucianism and pacifism, it has also led to a more fashionable style of wear and tear. This is definitely known by Edith Rockefeller. She is now Just run a fashion company.
"What you think in your head is too dirty!" Edith Rockefeller pointed to the underwear he was wearing, and the words changed. "But to be honest, the underwear is actually selling very well. Men wear all of them. A good man, do n’t you like to do that after you return home? The fashion company ’s profit is very good. "
Sheffield smiled at the accusations directed at men's hypocrisy, and they were right, as it was. The advent of bikini underwear has indeed increased its sales in the face of many accusations. This is also true.
If it weren't for Edith Rockefeller to be backed by standard oil, the fashion company producing these unethical products would have been smashed twenty times.
But this is not without a way, the atmosphere in Latin America is not conservative. The style of the US military is the style of migrating Latin American Spaniards in the past. Another meaning of enthusiasm and openness is the chaos of private life. Edith Rockefeller ’s fashion company can borrow France and the United States In the name of, go to Latin American countries.
"Will this cause cost problems?" Having understood the idea of ​​flowering the fragrance outside the Sheffield wall, Edith Rockefeller was interested, asking if it would be difficult. After all, under the premise that the local market in the United States is okay and able to feed its own company, not everyone is greedy enough to take risks to develop overseas.
Most of the companies in the United States are now like this, because the domestic market is dead or killed, but they are not interested in foreign countries. Isolationism has always had a strong public opinion base, and there are not many companies that look at Latin America.
"The textile industry is the basic industry of a country's industry. As long as there is a little industrial shadow in this country, there must be a textile industry!" Sheffield said that all this is not a problem. The textile industry can be said to be the most basic industry without any threshold. .
The Industrial Revolution in the United Kingdom also began with the textile industry. Cheap and high-quality Asian textiles gradually replaced European products in the international market, which put forward requirements for the fundamental structural reorganization of textile production. It is necessary to replace manual operations with efficient mechanical production to increase production and reduce costs. The mechanized production of spinning and weaving has brought about fundamental changes in the structure of the textile industry.
In this way, the textile industry is no longer based on the family, and moved to a special field. The fast-flowing river can provide water power for the machine. This period marked the end of the production of handicraft workshops and the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in England. In the eighteenth century, textile production was the most important industry in Britain. By the nineteenth century, the textile industry accounted for about 5% of total national income.
"In this way, I first occupied the foreign market, and then returned to the country in the counterattack!" Edith Rockefeller asked. "Does this mean?"
"It also includes the Philippines. In fact, the colonies of Spain and Portugal should not be a problem for accepting these underwears. It is difficult for Eastern countries and countries. It is useless for European countries to accept or not. You can't grab it. This problem is still a problem The old question, do a good job of Moneroism first, and wait until the occupation of Moneroism is over, thinking about the world. Just like the current transformation of our country. "Sheffield eloquently explained the key points , And finally concluded, "Many business and political principles are the same."
"It's a pity that you are not a president!" Edith Rockefeller praised from the bottom of his heart. "It is a loss of the country. Did the Democratic Party not consider sending you to the next general election."
"There are too many in the civic class who hate the rich. I have no way to worry about it. But they are also right. If I were a president, it is really possible to use politics to make the joint company rise." Sheffield expressed his heart so honestly, saying he If you really become the President of the Federation, you will certainly do so.
Sheffield has always built the industry of the joint company around the four words of clothing, food and housing, but the expansion in the basic industry is easy to become the target. So he is ready to let Edith Rockefeller run the first word of clothing, food and housing. Assist from one side. In the latter three cases, the agricultural and animal husbandry derivative industry, real estate and automobile industries are jointly operated by the company itself.
"I'm going to build a costume trust! Find a time to go abroad to investigate." Edith Rockefeller was also very prideful at this time, feeling that he could also have a commercial empire and could become another Rockefeller.
"Study abroad? I'm going to follow you. It's a little dangerous abroad!" Sheffield quickly shook her head. "If you don't let me follow you, don't go."
Boom Boom ... The response to Sheffield was a burst of red lips, Edith Rockefeller was satisfied, "I knew that you love me, you are much stronger than my ex-husband, knowing to give women a certain career, anti Come here to help you more. "
"Don't talk about the problem of the ex-husband!" I heard that Edith Rockefeller mentioned the original husband, although I felt that my heart was dirty, but a certain part was still inevitably inflated, how does Sheffield share Ximen Qing a feeling of.
Rockefeller Jr. could have gone directly to Pittsburgh, but in the end he decided to come to Chicago and Sheffield to converge. After all, in this negotiation, both parties must have a rough assessment. First of all, this must be a record-breaking merger. There has never been a merger in history.
"I'm ready to use Rockefeller's steel company as part of the merger and acquisitions to become part of the new steel company, so that with Carnegie Steel's share, it can approach 40%." Little Rockefeller walked sideways, " In fact, I suggest you do this, what are you thinking? "
"Oh!" Sheffield recovered from her thoughts and smiled bitterly. "If it succeeds, you and I will make a new richest man in the US personally. I don't know whether I should be happy or sad. . "
Rockefeller has been sitting in the position of the richest man in the United States for many years. Now Sheffield wants to interview Little Rockefeller. What is the idea of ​​the current head of Standard Oil, the position of the richest man in the United States, who is about to change owners?
"I don't have any idea. Isn't it time? As long as the oil is still there, the steel is still there, it will continue to create profits!" Rockefeller Jr. smiled easily, "You have raised enough funds, it's really amazing Surprised. "
"It's amazing what I owe a debt, it still took a year to mobilize funds from the various departments of the joint company!" Sheffield glanced at each other, he and no standard oil majors.
A few days later, the two had arrived at this steel capital with a large delegation. At the end of the year, the endless gray gas over Pittsburgh seemed to remind people that the city is in the United States of America Unique position.
Choosing a hotel less than one kilometer from Pittsburgh Railway Station as the place to stay, the two did not rush to the headquarters of Carnegie Steel Company immediately, but set off the next day to the heart of the steel kingdom.
