Chapter 297: Right on door

"It's not easy. Midwestern United seems to be very popular. Sheffield's promotion of large-scale agricultural mechanization is very popular with some farmers. At the same time, the advancement of agricultural mechanization has also pushed the strength of standard oil to a higher level. Morgan thought It ’s even more difficult to find trouble in another area than in the steel industry.
Lawrence shook his head slightly.
In fact, this can be seen as a signal that these two companies are trying to organize the bankers ’penetration of the real industry from Judging from this move, we also seem to be affected. "
The family history of these families, like the Sheffield family, was started through the black slave trade. The difference is that the Sheffield family has been doing this business before the Civil War. Worldwide, it has been the abolition of slavery in Paris. Then, the development model of these Boston families entered another track.
Invest huge amounts of money accumulated in the black slave trade in commercial banks, insurance enterprises and investment companies, and rely on these financial institutions to provide funds to operate the textile, leather, leather, shoe, clothing, food and chemical industries.
Commercial banks, insurance companies, and investment companies, each of which coincides with the business run by Morgan, which is also the source of the conflict. The peers are the enemy, so in certain matters, they are not in harmony with Morgan. The company took the initiative to extend the olive branch.
The largest city in Massachusetts is Boston, which is a large eastern city juxtaposed with New York and the source of American history and culture. British colonists established the earliest colonial strongholds near here, and Harvard and MIT were established here. These factors laid the foundation for the strength of the Massachusetts Bank.
The bank was born with a golden key in it, and his first governor was the next governor of Massachusetts. The bank charter was signed by the then Governor of Massachusetts, who was also the first signer of the American Declaration of Independence. Almost half of the American dignitaries have opened accounts here, including the then President Adams.
Soon after, the Bank of Massachusetts changed its name to the Bank of Boston, and the famous Boston consortium gradually took shape. Why did the first wealthy people in American history get rich? Atlantic slave trade.
"Observation shows that it is not just that the steel industry has a pattern of two powers standing side by side. The same is true of the sales industry. At present, in large cities, the chain supermarkets are us except the joint company, which has exceeded the percentage of the entire chain supermarket. Fifty shares. "Adams shrugged." Enemies and friends are sometimes not very easy to distinguish. Who likes competitors? I don't like it anyway. "
Allies and enemies are really not well distinguished, and Sheffield also has a deep understanding of this. Except for the military industry such as the DuPont consortium, such as the opponent to be won, this need not be mentioned. The military industry is the most suitable for monopolization, and it is very important for any country. It will even be supported, saying that he will not let go. Not to mention Lafayette's husband, his grandfather had a bullet pending.
Even Uncle Rockefeller Jr. always wanted to take advantage of himself at all times. If Rockefeller Jr. was also a woman, he had already copied one hand and carried forward. Unfortunately, the slave owner's true love can transcend gender. If you don't agree, there is no way out, and the life in the first place will continue.
The coming 1990 is the first year of the American century. All aspects of the United States are developing steadily, and a prosperous life continues. Although the biggest beneficiaries of this prosperity are still major companies. But economic prosperity can always give leftovers to the citizen class.
The $ 300 million merger actually caused some trouble for Rockefeller Jr. and Sheffield. After all, in an age where adult male salaries are less than thirty dollars, two companies have paid out 300 million dollars at once, which has deeply stung the civic class who have not yet felt the benefits of happy education.
This stinging feeling is uncomfortable, but it is also in stark contrast to the popularity of the stock market after the listing of Carnegie Standards United Steel Company. The stinging is also really stinging, and the true fragrance is also really fragrant, painful and happy With.
Steel companies that are listed in the economic boom cycle are still big companies that are concerned by the entire civic class. It is no longer that Morgan can set up obstacles. After all, even the king of the banking industry cannot openly insult the IQ of citizens. It seems that this time the competition for the steel industry, Sheffield and Rockefeller Jr., seem to have reap the benefits.
In fact, this is not the case. Morgan ’s American Steel Company has already been listed before Carnegie Standards United Steel Company. Morgan decided to let the US Steel Company go public first in order to dilute the impact of this matter.
The two giants almost accounted for nearly 90% of the steel share and production capacity of the United States. Together, they are almost the standard oil of the steel industry. They also showed an inconsistent trend in the stock market. The market value has crossed the $ 400 million mark. The market value of steel companies adds up to nearly one billion US dollars, and the degree of popularity is evident.
But for Sheffield, he can finally cash out, although it is not necessarily the time when he benefits the most, but he can't control so much, he must have a little liquidity in his hand immediately, after all, he owes a debt.
This thing also has simple rules and the ability to repay money, so your creditors are not in a hurry to collect debts. If you show that you have no ability to repay the money, you will be able to bother you if you only continue to meet the creditors.
Now Sheffield is demonstrating that he has the ability to repay debts, and he sent a telegram to include a group of Southern companies and the Vanderbilt family, expressing his apologies for borrowing himself. If the other party needs it, he can immediately return the principal.
At least this is an attitude issue. With such an attitude, and the fact that the steel company just went public, it proves the strength of the joint company. Many creditors have expressed no need to worry, and even offered to be lenient, or as an investment to let the joint company take care of it, and actively open up. Returning the money to spread it out, in turn, solved some troubles.
Frank was jointly nominated as the president of the new steel company. Rockefeller Jr. and Sheffield Jr. returned home, Rockefeller Jr. returned to New York, and Sheffield went to Chicago. At present, he has no money to return to the largest creditor, Edith Rockefeller. One way, first pay for it ...
A few days later, Sheffield arrived in Chicago, preparing to spend this year ’s Christmas here, which made Edith Rockefeller very happy, and prepared everything with joy, like a man who wanted to wear it, and finally waited for her husband to come back. The wife is like, "I do n’t want to go back to Arlington to accompany your Anne? You seem to be hiding women in other cities. How do you think I came here?"
"Looking at what you said, do I have feelings for them and have no feelings for you? You still gave birth to the first child for me!" Sheffield said this, and suddenly the light flashed in his mind, slowly. Said, "It seems that William and Carnegie's daughter are the same age?"
Edith Rockefeller's ears were suddenly raised. How could she not understand the obvious pointed words, to know that she had listened to the meaning of the family, had been married with others, and the dissatisfied said, "You mean let Will William go to marry Carnegie's daughter? The child is still so young, you put your idea on it. Did you come to Chicago to discuss this with me? Not to see me at all! If one day is necessary If so, can you sell me too? "
"No, no!" Sheffield shook his head constantly, explaining, "I really came to see you, but I only remembered it afterwards. How did it involve betraying you again, selling your son is not unacceptable, woman I will never sell, I would rather die! "
She finally calmed Edith Rockefeller, and Sheffield continued to persuade, "We have a son, and a man has to be a little bit responsible, what to sacrifice, let alone, this kind of thing is a man taking advantage, basically talking Not to lose, Carnegie ’s remaining shares, even after they are listed, have tens of millions of dollars. William ’s identity is basically not related to the inheritance of Standard Oil and the joint company. Of course, I can get the joint company ’s Part, but you must also admit that Standard Oil has nothing to do with our son. "
"So, William ’s future wealth depends on the wealth that you and I can create!" Speaking of which, Sheffield made an affectionate gesture and looked at Edith Rockefeller with emotion, "otherwise you think I am why To agree to John ’s proposal, taking huge risks and borrowing money must also be added to the merger and acquisition, this is for our son. I want him to be born with a better foundation than others.

As soon as the words were spoken, Sheffield admired her ability to lie without blinking her eyes. It was also clear to her that she and Edith Rockefeller's illegitimate son were the same age as Carnegie's daughter. In a word, it turned into a long-term vision. In order to crystallize love with Edith Rockefeller, he took the risk of breaking the capital chain and also left a lot of wealth to his son.
"Well! Yeah!" Edith Rockefeller thought for a while, and understood that Sheffield was telling the truth, but she couldn't help but asked suspiciously, "You joined the merger from the beginning just for William. How can you think so far? "
"Of course, can you think about it for your own bloodline?" Sheffield has an unpredictable look, so the degree of mystery is as good as that of Chang Gong. "Carnegie is more than sixty, and his energy is definitely not enough. I have time to help Little William achieve his goal. "
"It makes sense!" Edith Rockefeller took a deep breath, agreeing to the proposal that the slave owner's fingertips should be married. Think about it.
