Chapter 410: Tobacco King's help

In recent days, Sheffield has exhausted all methods to convince Alice Roosevelt that this is a friendly match, which is far from tearing his face. The conflict is limited to the scope of large enterprises and the federal government. There is no private enmity between the two sides, but It's a deviation in philosophy.
This time Alice Roosevelt wanted to rush back to the White House, but Sheffield did not retain it. I sent it directly to the train station, and then let the bodyguard follow the car. The old rules arrived in Washington and returned on the same road.
This is the end of sentimentalism, and slave owners who set themselves up for others are also responsible for their own business. It's okay to not hold a grudge in your heart, and there is no way for the Ministry of Justice to achieve its goals. These are two things that do not delay each other.
After a round of shells was launched into the void, Pat, the chief lawyer of the United Company, didn't make any extra moves, but went directly to Austin and applied to register the United Grain Company in Texas.
"I didn't expect that I could receive a call from the Tobacco King, which is too surprising." Sheffield said, holding James Duke's phone, "I don't know what can teach me, or are you not prepared to ask Seventy-five percent of the country ’s share, and I have the idea of ​​becoming a rich man. "
"Just let the Justice Department come to the door, and still have a joke?" James Duke's teasing voice came, "Let me guess, are you preparing materials and preparing to respond? Is there any place for me to help." Everyone is a Dixie, and as long as you and I sign an agreement, without having to maliciously lower the competitive price alliance, I can fully support you in fighting the Ministry of Justice. "
"What do you mean? Want to form a tobacco cartel with me?" Sheffield pondered for a moment. It seems like a loss in terms of the current market share, but the price war is indeed the most hated competition for slave owners. James Duke's ability to speak on his own initiative has already expressed the greatest kindness.
"Okay, did you send someone over, or did I send someone over?" Sheffield asked, wiping the wedding ring on her finger with a very relaxed tone.
"Such a big thing, of course, it is the most solemn meeting in person, New Orleans or St. Louis, how do you choose one?" James Duke responded very enthusiastically, "How do you know where you don't like Yankee, then Choose our own city of Dixie. "
"Then New Orleans!" Sheffield simply agreed, greeted each other a few times, and the two hung up the phone.
"What is this tobacco king doing?" Anne saw her husband hung up the phone and began to guess the other party's intention.
"I knew it when I met!" Sheffield said indifferently. "The establishment of the United Grain Company was used to replace the trust. The prosecution of the Justice Department, even if I win, I will set up this company. It ’s the same if you lose. You ca n’t change my mind. The times have changed. We have to pursue a more advanced business model. Of course, it ’s better to win. Anne, you ’ve called the trust list for more than 200,000 acres. The farmer, and the small farmer with more than 20,000 acres of land, and as the agent of the smaller giver, I first meet with James Duke. "
The summons of the Ministry of Justice has no stimulus to slave owners at all. To say what role it has, the biggest role is to make Sheffield feel the need for transformation. You can go one step further, such as transforming into a food merchant.
One hundred years later, the world ’s agricultural hegemony is in the hands of the world ’s four largest grain merchants. The three major international grain merchants have three laws and one law. ) And the four major multinational companies in France, Louis Dreyfus (Loisdreyfus), according to the initials of the English name, people shorten it to "abcd".
The four major grain merchants are multinational grain merchants with a history of more than 100 years. At present, 80% of the world's grain trading volume is monopolized in the hands of these four grain merchants.
The four grain merchants have completed absolute control over upstream raw materials, futures, midstream production and processing, brands, and downstream market channels and supply. Three of the four grain merchants are American companies. This is the aspect that most exemplifies the agricultural hegemony of the United States of America. However, the four grain merchants are now missing. Even if their predecessors have already appeared, they cannot be compared with the joint company. Appeared, Sheffield felt that he could do this in one company.
"Actually, the federal government hates trusts, and I hate it too. For example, the cooking oil trusts, it is not in my hands." Sheffield said to Annie with solemnity, "If the federal government can let me go, everyone's interests It ’s the same. I can buy companies such as edible oil trusts and honey trusts, all of which are developed under a link of the United Grain Company. This is not very good. The trust issue that the federal government is worried about does not exist. "
"That's really great." The mistress, who had been severely brainwashed by the slave owner, echoed.
"From the seed to the people ’s table, this is much more powerful than the trust. This is the only one I decide what people eat, what they can eat. The original trust is too rough. Such a look at the supermarket chain is an indispensable The terminal can let us complete this matter and reduce a lot of energy. "For a long time, Annie put on the pen and rubbed some sore wrists." Is that all? "
"Temporarily, that's all? Maybe there will be some links to be added later." The king of the mouth strong only thought of understanding Annie, and then came to the greedy link.
Because of the large number of members involved in Trust, Sheffield was just given the opportunity to meet James Duke. James Duke is the king of tobacco. The reason why he is the king of tobacco is because his father Washington Duke is the king of tobacco.
Sheffield also saw another Dixie tycoon for the first time, the key is still so rich, the businessman of this asset is only familiar with Rockefeller Jr., Oak Manor, the tobacco king visited, and Natalia commanded the servant Busy before and after.
James Duke volunteered to help. After a while, the root cause was still heard by Sheffield. In short, it was a guilty conscience.
Whether the use of monopolies involves unfair competition, only the tobacco king himself knows that when Sheffield reaches out to the tobacco industry anyway, he feels that the industry is deep.
James Duke has not yet received the warmth from the Ministry of Justice, but it does not mean that it will not be received in the future. The idea of ​​the tobacco king in front of him is actually similar to the attitude of the Rockefeller family towards the North Securities Company. He actively chose the place of war. The North Securities Company is not the most important industry for the Rockefeller family.
Choosing a railroad system to fight a war can at least keep the major oil industries unaffected. Sheffield asked indifferently, "Mr. James, do you want to push me out to meet the Justice Department's fire?"
"It can't be said that, Mr. William, everyone is a Dixie. It is indeed your company that has been favored by the Ministry of Justice, and I am a person who has volunteered to help." James Duke quickly shook his head, "This It's all for the unity of the Dixis. The joint company is a heavy asset company, and my company mainly relies on cash crops. We shouldn't have been fighting. The Dixis who can reach our assets are not many. Now. "
Sheffield's eyelids rolled, why did he never find out that James Duke did anything to care for the Dixie? It seems that there is no preference for the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, and now it has become the unity of the Dixie people?
"Even if the lawsuit is brought to the Supreme Court, I can help." James Duke said again and again, seemingly mysterious. "And unlike Northern Securities Company, we businessmen who rely on land to produce assets Not necessarily more than Yang Ji, but there are more stakeholders, at least a large number of people. "
Sheffield reached out directly to James Duke and said, "Is it brought directly? Take it out. The tobacco companies on both sides will never use contracts to reduce price competition."
"Mr. William is really the pride of our Dixie people. With such a decisive personality, you should develop your career to such a size." James Duke sighed, as if he deserved to make money.
Having lived such a big age and so many rumors, Sheffield also had an intuitive understanding of the tobacco king for the first time.
When the contract was carefully dragged into the pocket, James Duke regained his seriousness. "As long as the last lawsuit reaches the Supreme Court, I will definitely help. The relationship between the two judges and me is still good."
"I just don't know how much confidence, and I believe that Morgan is thinking about the same problem." Sheffield said noncommittally.
"It's different. The railway system is too much and it's really easy to be disgusted, but the food is different. The farmer is so hard, why should he be attacked?" James Duke said, "This is among the nine officials. The judgment is different. In fact, even in the case of the Northern Securities Company, neither Roosevelt nor Morgan have a full grasp of the win. Recently, Roosevelt brought people to the Midwest to give a speech often to win support from Midwest farmers. Farmer, who will support him? In fact, you and Morgan received a subpoena at the same time, and it is likely that different results will occur. "
"It depends on who we can cover and who does that mean?" Sheffield thought for a moment, and it seemed to mean that. The Ministry of Justice's banner against Northern Securities is that the railway giant has overwhelmed farmers. If you backhand a lot of trusts that are beneficial to farmers, problems will indeed arise.
