Chapter 346: Accept inquiries from Congress

"I'm fine. I eat well and sleep well. There's nothing bad about it." Sheffield clipped the microphone and listened to McHale's greetings in New Orleans. He nodded constantly. The housing law then caused the southern states to follow suit. The black people had no property and would certainly not be able to pay the rent. We will build a vicious circle in the south so that they will always kneel on the ground. Of course, it will inevitably hurt some Dixies, For the overall benefit of the entire South, a little sacrifice is inevitable. "
"Gail and I will care about this matter, and the state law here is still very certain, but the Panama Canal thing? Or some shareholders are more worried!" McHale paused for a moment, "The question is very serious." Is it big? "
"Worried about their investment soaring? I can fully understand this worry, but this accident has not caused the joint venture to be threatened with bankruptcy. The current situation in other industries is very good, let them put their hearts in their stomachs." Sheffield was cold and couldn't help rolling her eyes. This familiar feeling couldn't keep him going.
Putting down the phone, he took off his son's trousers skillfully and gestured to William Rockefeller's childish buttocks with his palm. It still didn't grow to the point where he could stick out his filial son. This is a pity.
"William, eh?" Edith Rockefeller pushed in, and there was a spectacle in front of him. Two men of different ages were bare ass, although these two men are very close to themselves, how do they feel So strange.
"Huh? My son is peeing. I'm innocent. Please bring two trousers." Sheffield pointedly pointed at the writing scene, and didn't want to cool off in such a wind and ass.
Edith Rockefeller's mouth curled up with a nice arc, turned around to find the trousers for washing, and packed up with Sheffield. After he was busy, he talked about the business, and said softly, "The news from Washington, what President Roosevelt said about the Panama Canal Very concerned, involving the lives of tens of thousands of citizens, has been identified as a major accident, there is news that you are going to Washington to be questioned by Congress, what should I do? "
"What not to do? It doesn't matter if I go, I haven't been to Congress yet. Morgan can go to the White House. It doesn't matter if I go to Congress." Sheffield stretched his hands and fiddled with William Rockefeller's feet. Also happy.
"When such a big thing happened, those who depended on you didn't say anything at all, it's too ridiculous." Edith Rockefeller turned to complain, "It's not necessary at a critical moment."
"I ca n’t say that. I just finished talking. Their connections are my connections. It ’s too close. It ’s normal to not be able to help. Besides, they have to do their own business. Is that right? "Sheffield comforted Edith Rockefeller. It was like there were more women and more beautiful women, but there are not many women of this family like Edith Rockefeller. This is a reason.
The Louisiana Housing Law is also a very important thing. This housing law is just stuck at the income point that the black ethnic group cannot reach. It also stipulates that the community has the right to expel the poor. The landlord who owns the house can delay the tenant for five. After the day's rent, the tenant will be driven away. If the tenant does not leave within a week, the police department has the right to take mandatory measures with the gun.
If the tenant ca n’t take the luggage away by himself, he still has to pay the cost of carrying the luggage by the public department. Very few landlords are willing to rent the house to you. If you do n’t want to be homeless, you can only find a black landlord or stay in a motel.
In fact, the new housing law is not aimed at the black ethnic group, but at the working class with jobs and income. The trigger point of the bill is that black people generally cannot achieve such income, so black people should not oppose this kind of bill, because in this bill, black people are not considered as adults at all.
"After waiting for this matter, I will discuss it with Rockefeller Jr. and pass a medical bill to protect your industry's due rights. The doctors are too informal now, and there are some beverage companies that treat all diseases. The guise is deceiving, and the order should be sorted out. "Compared to Edith Rockefeller's frown, Sheffield's condition is obviously a little too good, showing the qualities that a good slave owner should have.
Let the joint company make a statement to accept the congressional inquiry. Before going to Washington, Sheffield also communicated with the German Bayer company a little. After the flood, the occurrence of disease is almost a matter of course. At this time, Bayer with a strong technical reserve in the chemical field is needed. With the help of the company, Sheffield has repeatedly assured that although this matter is very big, it will not bankrupt the joint company and will not delay the multi-field cooperation between the two parties.
"Surely someone will take this opportunity to attack you!" Chicago Station, Edith Rockefeller came to say goodbye, and said, "These so-called parliamentarians are all bastards."
"It's okay, I'm ready in my heart." Sheffield raised her eyebrows indifferently. "Sometimes, Lou Zi who poke alone is too big, and the country will cover up for you."
The Congress on the other side of Washington is indeed ready to make trouble. There are not many times when you can exercise your power throughout the year. It is rare to have trouble with such a large company. Many people are ready to ask for their lives. At this time, the life of black people is also life.
Getting off from the train station, there are countless cars parked outside, there are nearly a hundred, employees wearing black gold company suits and armbands, waiting for their boss to appear, this scene is jaw-dropping. Even the civil servants in Washington were very surprised by Sheffield's appearance. As the huge convoy started to travel to Capitol Hill, the news that the boss of the United Company under question had arrived in Washington was spread.
"This question should be organized by the President, and you are waiting outside the cordon." Sheffield got off the bus and had seen the building of the Congress. The thick ancient Roman style is worthy of the heart of the modern Roman Empire.
But the slave owner felt a bit sloppy in his heart. Why did Caesar feel assassinated? This kind of place is enough to come once, but it will be rare in the future. Some security personnel in the Congress have already come out, glanced at the black and black armed forces in front of them, and nodded to lead the way, leading famous entrepreneurs into the Congress to be questioned.
Normally, this kind of order is presided over by the Vice President of the Acting Speaker, but these years are rather special. Roosevelt itself is the Vice President who should do this kind of work. After the original President William McKinley was assassinated, Roosevelt turned to the right, but the Deputy The President does not have a spare tire, so in the past few years, the position of Vice President has taken turns. The presidency of Congress is still done by Roosevelt. In a sense, Roosevelt can be said to be both President and Speaker.
No one beside Sheffield sat down in the position pointed by the leader. There was no stage fright. He looked at the environment inside the Congress and looked at the situation inside the heart of the modern Roman Empire.
This indifferent attitude has caused many lawmakers to look at each other face-to-face, and everyone in this joint company does not seem to be nervous at all.
"For the Panama Canal project operated by the United Company, there were major casualties due to the collapse of the dam. I don't know what Mr. William wants to say?" A parliamentarian first asked a question. Sheffield glanced at each other's camp. The camp of the Democratic Party knew what was happening, and coughed softly and said, "First of all, because of the collapse of the dam, there were serious casualties. It is true that there is nothing to hide."
"So what is Mr. William's responsibility for the death of tens of thousands of American citizens?" Soon another parliamentarian followed this question and began sharp accusations.
Sheffield took a deep look at the other person, then withdrew his gaze and replied slightly indifferently, "For the collapse of the dam, according to the commitment of the local person in charge to me, the dam is extremely strong and will not collapse for no reason. If If this condition is met, and I have not been deceived, then the answer to this question, my answer is, neither the United Company nor the American Canal Management Company should be held responsible for this. "
"In this accident, the joint company is also a victim. Although the joint company is a modest point, it is a strong company, but no one can afford the losses caused by this incident. I can afford the position of a victim! As for other questions, I still have to wait until the results of the investigation come out before I can answer them. "
"That is to say, as the owner of the joint company, Mr. William believes that his company, in the face of such a large number of deaths, does not even have a little responsibility?" With this voice question, there was some noise in the venue, obviously many people were In the discussion whispering.
"Dear Mr. Member!" Sheffield knocked on the table, refuting without any weakness, "This is an era of evidence, and a member of the rule of law country should have a clear understanding of this. Not out of some Personal emotions have turned such a serious place in Congress into a stage for canvassing votes. This is not your personal rally. "
"About the collapse of the Jiatong Lake dam, I must wait for the results of the investigation to make a decision. I came to accept the question. As a citizen, I have this obligation, but I did not come to the trial. I hope that every order Dear Members of Parliament, all should understand this. "Sheffield's words sounded loudly and echoed in the venue.
