Chapter 397: Rockefeller's considerations

"Then we have to make some preparations here. Although our share in the Northern Securities Company is relatively low, we can't easily let Roosevelt succeed. Otherwise, Roosevelt succeeded once, and sooner or later we will burn the antitrust law to our Main business! "Rockefeller Jr. said with some anxiety." If there is a lawsuit with the country, how many chances are there? "
"If you take the railway system as an example, the risks are half the same. It is really easy for Roosevelt to get support in this place of public transportation." Old Rockefeller's face was paralyzed without a trace of expression, and his thin cheeks spoke like a skeleton, "This matter said Whoever wins, do n’t be fantasized, be prepared. "
"If the Sheffield family can act with us, the chances of success increase greatly." Rockefeller Jr. made a suggestion. "Whether to communicate with the South, this time he almost overturned the re-election of the Republican Party."
"It's useless. Now that the election is over, the antitrust issue and the ethnic issue are not connected. Is there any? That is, John." Old Rockefeller stressed looking at his son, "Sheffield is actually the same as Morgan. They are very greedy people, and of course we are the same. Unlike us and Morgan and their sons have some business crossovers, the joint company and Morgan United have no such crossovers, they are completely blind to each other. I hope the Sheffield family will help, That is unlikely. "
"No, can't you put aside the temporary differences and deal with the White House together?" Rockefeller Jr. said helplessly.
"Do you know DuPont's reputation!" Old Rockefeller pointed to the heir. "A company that has long-term confrontation with DuPont looks like this on the surface? Has the title of an emerging industry supporter? Isn't it strange? He With so many newspapers in hand, this election can already be seen. "
"What's the matter with me? The election is just over, I only support the Democratic Party and the Republican Party? He doesn't trouble me, it's good. You still want me to jump out." Sheffield still received Rockefeller Jr. and he wanted to try. The trial call answered very formally and very seriously, "John, you have to know that the railway system is a field of public transportation. It is obvious that citizens will support who. I will write a black draft for you and put it in the newspaper. It's okay. "
Speaking, Alice Roosevelt looked at her with a scrutiny and cleared her throat. "Even if it is a black version, I can't think of any place to use it. Our president supports the development of the navy and corrects Moneroism. This is a place worthy of citizens ’support. Could it be said that without trust, all citizens will starve to death?"
"Don't you usually say that?" Little Rockefeller's voice in the microphone was full of doubts.
"Why didn't I say that, now I'm clear about my position, if Standard Oil is in trouble, I will undoubtedly support it." Sheffield promised, "But Morgan, Southern Electric just started almost I was strangled by him. If I had n’t dared to use Chinese workers under the Chinese Exclusion Act, I would go home and plant the land that time. There were also radio patents, telephone patents, and how many lawsuits did the two have? So most of the settlements are related to Morgan. "
Sheffield solemnly stated that this matter has nothing to do with herself. The joint company should be a low-key man just after the election. Don't expect disaster to lead to yourself. Roosevelt understands the importance of public transportation. It's God's blessing not to be the first to trouble yourself. How dare he rush up by himself.
In the end, Sheffield also comforted Rockefeller Jr., "If the time is not enough, drag the time. Anyway, the United States is not an imperial country, and it has passed for four years."
"It's the same way, but that Morgan, his arrogant look?" Rockefeller Jr. said a little embarrassedly. "He's used to it, he might not choose that way."
"Isn't that the financial industry is a very confident industry. He wants to ensure that he will continue to win." Sheffield said a few words and hung up the phone, his eyes rolled slightly and Alice Roosevelt looked at each other, and said, "I Will not fight against your father with Morgan. "
As soon as the words were spoken, the slave owners admired their meanness and shamelessness. How beautifully they said, not to mention that the president was not easy to mess with Roosevelt. Even if he was a general president, he would not stand with Morgan.
If the worst result occurred, that is, the North Securities Company was resolved, Roosevelt began to kill. The slave owner was a big deal, went to the White House to kneel and beg for mercy, and ask his father-in-law to let go.
Sheffield previewed directly, leaned directly in front of Alice Roosevelt, and drilled his head directly into Alice Roosevelt ’s arms. He said, "If one day the United Company is operated by the antitrust law, can the president let me go? A horse. "
"I, I don't know. My father's business is not easy for me to ask." Alice Roosevelt instinctively wanted to avoid it, but it was a bit bad when she thought about it. She put her hands in the air and didn't know where to put it. Itching can only be passively accepted.
"Actually, I am not satisfied with the railway system. The joint company is the Southern Company. It is only better than ordinary citizens. Fortunately, there is a transport company under the joint company to develop shipping and inland water transportation. This is forced. My grandmother made the decision. "Sheffield said." Northern Securities is just the result of Morgan's penetration of the railway in more than two decades. The previous situation is already very serious. "
As early as 20 years ago, the railway giants received an invitation from Morgan to meet in the summer resort of New England and reached an agreement on the quantity and price of coal entering the market to manipulate the market price, but at that time it was more like a cartel Alliance.
Not only that, all things that depend on rail transportation-wood, meat, vegetables, fruits, wool, cotton-are controlled by a monopoly. Small and medium-sized farmers have discovered that the railway giants have huge warehouses to hoard grains. They can only face the dilemma: either pay high railway freight or pay a high price for storing grain.
It was at that time that Annabel began to unite with farmers in the South to set up the American Farming and Animal Husbandry Association to form beef trusts and canned trusts for confrontation, and at the same time, let a part of the slave hunters to enrich the strength of the black gold transportation company.
Only in this way has the harvest of the railway giants been carried out. As for the majority of small and medium-sized farmers, there is no strength in the aftermath of the alliance, and there are no fewer farms that are bankrupt.
When Alice Roosevelt didn't notice, Sheffield secretly called Rockefeller Manor. After hearing the voice of Little Rockefeller, Sheffield said, "I personally suggest that it should not be mixed with the North Securities Company. In the middle, I do n’t know that in the railway war that year, your family and Morgan supported one, and they have already cashed in through stock fluctuations. Now their shares are smaller than Morgan, Hartman and Hill. The Rockefeller family invested The money was earned long ago, leaving only a nominal railway kingdom for Morgan. "
"What the are you going to say?" Rockefeller Jr. was not surprised to hear this, but asked the slave owner's purpose.
"This matter allows Morgan to solve it yourself, and you should sell the rest of the share." Sheffield said his purpose. "If the Rockefeller family also came forward, among the four giants, you and Morgan were very conspicuous and won. Fortunately, if he loses, the president will immediately aim his gun at standard oil. I ’m afraid that you will be pulled into the water. "
"You promised me that I would stand with Standard Oil anytime, otherwise I would let Edith look for you." Rockefeller Jr. suddenly said, "I hope you remember your promise."
"I haven't forgotten!" Sheffield repeated, "The United Company must be standing with Standard Petroleum, but now it is simply kidnapping. You are being kidnapped by Morgan, and now you are kidnapping me again."
"You're not a trust business, what are you afraid of?" Rockefeller Jr. paused. "Even if he is the president, he can't rob me. Can he succeed? Just try and know."
Listening to the busy sound in the microphone, Sheffield couldn't help but stretch her neck as if it was attacked by noise. Let's whisper, "Honest people are so anxious? This is not academic!"
This is nothing like the little Rockefeller that Sheffield knew. Facing the anti-trust law, Sheffield's first reaction was to hide, but she didn't expect that her uncle's reaction was to take the initiative.
Rockefeller Jr. also has his own consideration. The representative of the trust enterprise is undoubtedly Standard Oil. If Morgan is defeated, even if it is not the next one, it will be his turn sooner or later. If the Rockefeller family shares in the North Securities Company, Rockefeller Jr. may really agree to let Morgan solve the problem alone.
Rather than doing this, it is better to directly consider the Northern Securities Company as a bargaining chip and put the battlefield on the railway. In this way, standard oil remains unaffected and preserves truly important industries.
After thorough consideration, Rockefeller Jr. also notified the important shareholders of Standard Oil. After making the matter clear, these important shareholders expressed their understanding and support for the Rockefeller family ’s decision to support Morgan in the railway system.
"I think that Rockefeller's consideration is like this! If possible, he wants to take you to cope with it." Evelyn's long legs close together, looks extremely elegant.
"Thinking of it, I seem to be standing and talking without backache?" Sheffield recalled that his role was a bit like a devil. The words he said were similar to what the Royal Army asked me to bring to you. Thanks to the cultivation of Little Rockefeller Not bad.
