Chapter 337: Chaotic mining area

"Actually, this is a gamble. The president ’s tendency has become so obvious. Everyone knows that Trust will face real pressure this time. Those two people want me to get the knife first, but I also hope they get the knife first. It depends on who can bear it. "Morgan said lightly." I'm involved in many industries, but the proportion is not large. It's just that it binds more people. If it is troubled by antitrust law, Maybe this group is very painful, but I do n’t necessarily feel much pain, they are different. "
Little Morgan thought for a moment. It seems that his father made sense. Although Morgan ’s indirect control does not have a huge voice, it is also a great way to protect himself. Now it depends on who is more powerful and can follow the next step. Survived the storm.
Naturally, commercial struggles have their own rules. At least for now, all parties who are prepared to bet are scheduled to put the battlefield within a certain range. Of course, not everyone has integrity in this respect.
Taking advantage of the recent bustling in the coal sector, Sheffield ordered Sheffield Rand Gunpowder Company to cut all prices in the gunpowder field and formally open a price war against the DuPont Consortium.
This kind of market chaos is actually very suitable for price wars. Sheffield wanted to do this for a long time, but there are no reasons for it. The slave owners always want to be famous. This strike caused a national strike. Note that it is actually just right, when not to beat at this time.
Both Rockefeller Jr. and Sheffield concluded that the fight between the cartel and the miners ’union would at least wait until autumn to decide the victory and defeat, because at that time the weather began to turn cold, and huge pressures would hang over the opponents. It is a hot summer day, and the demand for coal by the citizen class is not urgent. The urgent ordinary people in the industrial sector cannot really feel it. Only when the citizens themselves are uncomfortable will they really pay attention to this problem.
"Going to Puerto Rico, the Chinese laborers will definitely be dissatisfied. I won't say much about the prevention of the disease, in case I can't control it!" Sheffield gave Jesra an eye that you all understand, and the latter is also accurate Received, "I will never let them escape Puerto Rico."
"Then the Chinese laborers on board will arrange for you to draw people from the black gold branch of Cuba to build the Puerto Rico base." Sheffield stretched a lazy waist and said tiredly, "If you are fine, you don't need to tell me the progress. New Orleans is also very busy recently. of."
New Orleans is going to officially host the World Expo. Now it can be said that the entire United States already knows that the European side has also sold out its popularity through companies with business contacts.
How busy the slave owner was, at the venue where the Eiffel Tower was copied, but it was only reduced to one quarter in proportion. The move undoubtedly confirmed the reputation of the cottage empire. For some dissent, Sheffield turned a deaf ear to McHale, who felt a little ashamed. "Annie misses her home, so she wants to shape the atmosphere of the home."
"It's just a girl, William. You don't look like this kind of person." McHale's face did not believe it. He didn't believe that Sheffield would do such a thing because of a woman.
"That's because you got it wrong. I'm this kind of person. I can do anything for the woman I like." Sheffield shoved McHale, a look like Zhou Youwang's possession, "all of them are rich. The poor of the people make trouble again, they are just jealous of what I can do, but they do n’t have the capital. Who is to blame? If their wives and daughters are beautiful, they can be sent directly to the manor, maybe I can help them realize their dreams. "
While Sheffield dedicated himself to advertising New Orleans, there was a shocking conflict at the anthracite coal mine in Pennsylvania.
In a mine that wants to resume work, a conflict caused a bloodshed, which is not worth mentioning because a small amount of bloodshed is normal. Every strike will appear. This is the first major strike in the new century. At present, there is no conflict, and it is already abnormal.
So this did not attract Sheffield's attention. He talked with Rockefeller Jr. on the phone and continued to be busy with his affairs, because there are already customers on the road, and he will arrive in New Orleans soon. Anne, who is already on the road, does not expect that, because it is a German guest. Although she has lived in the United States for many years, she is still worried about the conflict between Germany and France.
The anthracite coal mine is a large area, a small town adjacent to the mine. On this day, a large number of adult men appeared. These people were powerful, but they did not have the wind and frost of working all year round. After getting off the railway station, they temporarily stopped in the town. Settled. In the small town in the middle of the night, a team of nearly 200 people walked along the street to the south, and several of the team leaders carried kerosene lamps in their hands. The kerosene lamp forms a moving stream of light. These people are the leaders of the bodyguard company in gray uniforms.
As for the destination, only the team ’s Jielin knew, but Captain Jielin frowned after receiving the order. The destination was not a good place to go, and it was also heavily armed. Now the company ’s fully armed is not the same as before, just pick up the shovel. It ’s armed, even wearing a shield and wearing a shield.
The current full armor includes a lot of equipment, although it is not as neat as the military. Except for the original company's firearms and cold weapons, everyone has a share, and there are not many.
Jerlin does know the destination of the overnight rush, the destination is an anthracite mine, but Jason does not understand what the intention of the big hires is, can be mixed with a private armed company leader, even a small team , Dominating more than two hundred people, is not a general muddlehead.
If it is not the price for this trip, it is really difficult to refuse. Jason will never come to the anthracite mine area that has caused a lot of trouble. He knows that it is now a gunpowder barrel. It is slightly wrong and will cause national attention. .
The team didn't reach its destination until midnight. On the roads of the anthracite mine area, there were thirty or forty people guarding the intersection. It was still surprising to see the strange team of nearly two hundred people coming, but it was still comfortable to see the coming In one breath, although these people cannot be said to be particularly clever, it is still recognizable at a glance whether they are miners.
"I'm West, a worker who wants to start a mine, and I really need your help this time." West stepped forward to introduce himself. What he is doing now is undoubtedly dragging the back of the strike movement. , Which is the worker thief in the mouth of the miners. The start of work will inevitably be accompanied by huge risks. Such a traitor's move may bring danger to its own safety.
Naturally, I need a little extra help. Jerlin nodded and said, "We know that this time I brought enough weapons. It must be explained that I will do my best to guarantee the start of the mine."
As the sky slowly turned brighter, a new day began, but many workers in their sleep heard the sound that they had not heard recently but were very familiar with before, and awakened the bells of the miners' work. Many miners were awakened by this nasty voice and sat up confusedly, but immediately understood what this voice meant, and the mine started work!
Worker thief! This word appeared in everyone's minds. Many people didn't have time to wear clothes. They ran directly out of the simple shacks of the miners, looking for the direction from which the sound came, to determine which mine was actually started ...
Miners like ants swarmed into the mine, and they saw a group of strangers. The armed men led by the official Jerin, each wearing a gray uniform, stood here to block they.
"Who are you!" The miners who came saw a lot of blocked arms, but when they saw that there were five or six thousand miners gathered behind them, they could not help but yell with courage and want to scare off these unknown armed forces. personnel.
"Not everyone is like you, eating here and waiting to die, there are many miners who need to earn money to support their families, understand?" Jie Lin looked at these miners without hesitation, to be honest with so many miners, he There was also some timidness in his heart, but since he had been hired, he had to stand on the side of the management side, and he also had enough guns, so individuals would be afraid of death and should be able to calm down these miners.
The confrontation happened in front of the two groups. As time passed, especially the work of the mine, it seemed to be a worrying signal, and many miners had already retreated in their hearts.
At this time, there was no retreat, and the miners group began to have a strong voice, wanting to let these armed men give up, some miners holding a shovel, and what they can find as weapons, as long as a gun fires, it may evolve Into a fierce conflict.
Bang ... God did n’t show his spirits at this time. This gunshot was like a signal that ignited the smokeless coal mine in Pennsylvania, and the string that was stretched for a long time suddenly broke. The entire anthracite mine area was filled with smoke. In the mine area, riots and arson were everywhere, the mine was flooded with water, and the mine that was trying to start was besieged by the workers who were on strike.
"How could this be?" Sheffield, who greeted Rockefeller Jr. at New Orleans, was ashamed when he heard the news. It seemed to be not right according to normal development. But if there is external force involved, this person is not himself anyway, is it an accident?
"Yeah, how could this be!" Little Rockefeller teased Sheffield's words, not paying attention to it at all. Pennsylvania has only coal cartel, and people seem to have forgotten that Standard Oil's main business area was , Also in Pennsylvania, how could it not have its own relationship.
This time, the firewood was filled in by Rockefeller Jr., but now he also wants to hide his merits and fame, and is not going to disclose this to Sheffield.
