My America

He didn't have any special ideas. Anyway, the contract that was finalized was time-limited. It is not always clear who asked for who, and the news of the big oil field was discovered, which can make the cooperation between the two parties closer. After all, the interests are the same and many problems can be faced together.

Sheffield is not a boast of himself. His grasp of the historical context must be stronger than these indigenous people, and it is much stronger. As long as you do n’t commit public anger and abide by certain rules, development and growth is a matter of course. But whether it can be more detached and become an existence on top of major consortia is no longer a matter of personal weight-bearing progress, it depends on whether other people are willing or not.

Eating single food blindly and killing others completely, in case the operation is not good, it may be attacked by the group. According to the fantasy, that is, the law of planes has been violated, so now that Sheffield is consolidating the achievements, he has restrained his idea of ​​extending his hands farther and farther and turned to support the partners in the south.

But he can't just focus on the people of Dixie's background. He always has to find some friends in the Yankee group, so he will strictly abide by the contract with the Rockefeller family.

This led to the idea of ​​evaluating the family industry and choosing which part should be listed and which part should be hidden. It seems that the harmless part of humans and animals should be listed, and the more important part should continue to make a lot of money.

With this thought in mind, Sheffield knew that she should go out, and she said to Annabel that she was going to look at the land where the oil field was found, and at the same time, she put out her thoughts and ideas.

"Look Rockefeller good luck!" Annabel's reaction is exactly the same as Sheffield, thinking about it, "The family is not in close relationship with the DuPont family. Rockefeller and Carnegie had a very bad relationship with Carnegie in the early years. The key is the financial field. It is understood that he and Morgan will certainly not stand together. Both of them are too powerful to bow their heads to each other, but Morgan is still very attractive to others. "

Briefly sorting out the current relationships between the major companies, Annabel continued, "They are all companies in the north, only our home base is in the south, so there are advantages and disadvantages, depending on whether they are competing with each other. The connection is large. If they have a majority of connections, we are more dangerous. If the competition is greater, we are very comfortable, so we can't deal with all companies at the same time. There must always be one or two friends. "

"I think so too, grandmother! Within the contract period, if a large oil field is definitely unfinished, we use oil interests to tie up the standard oil, and there should be no uprooting our family." Sheffield quipped. Talk, "And the Democratic Party is currently in a state of opposition. The Democrat color of our family is too strong. William McLay is supported by almost all major companies, except our joint company."

"If we have a harmonious relationship with Standard Oil, we can also contact William McLay through Standard Oil. Fix the misunderstanding caused by the election time." Sheffield finished his thoughts in one breath, and then said, "Of course I want now Take a look and evaluate the specific situation. "

"Where is your freedom." Annabel reached out and waved in the direction of the door, meaning simply too much, go!

Now the United Company needs to repair the relationship with the White House, because in the memory of Sheffield this year, the United States officially began to turn to overseas interests, but it happens to be the Republican Party. If you do not repair the relationship with the White House, you will not be able to catch a ride Many opportunities to share cakes.

In her mind, Sheffield is ready to work against the White House, and she has to fight for her own preparations. Even his partners are ready for this, but would n’t it be better if they could accomplish this goal with the White House ’s acquiescence? After all, it is unwise to fight against the federal government.

Regardless of Sheffield's whereabouts, Rockefeller Jr. learned the news at Standard Oil, almost jumped up, and instantly made the decision to visit Texas. This may be a new oil producing area. If it can be compared with the oil production in Pennsylvania, it will represent a substantial expansion of the standard petroleum empire.

Rockefeller Jr., who couldn't help himself, almost couldn't wait to grow his wings and flew to Texas. Of course, he came to the transportation hub of the United States of Chicago and visited his sister.

"I said I wasn't there, and I went to Paris, just a few days away!" Edith Rockefeller said when his brother came to the door, his face suddenly changed and he supported his swollen belly, "Send him back and say that I will be half a year later. come back."

This made Rockefeller Jr., who had been behind closed doors, full of doubts, but was quickly attracted by the victory of the exploration team. In the family and family business, family business is more important. Anyway Edith Rockefeller is already an adult and should have his own life.

When Rockefeller Jr. reached the place where oil was explored, he saw the derricks all over the area. The oil workers are busy, and everything nearby is in order and there is no mess at all. Well-dressed people are patrolling everywhere, not quite the same as he imagined.

"I thought there would be a lot of oil merchants from all over the world coming!" After seeing Sheffield, Rockefeller Jr. said with exclamation, "This is the case with oil wells in other states. Once news of oil appeared, It ’s overcrowded, as if people from all over the country are coming! "

Sheffield twitched her hands together and listened to Rockefeller Jr.'s back slightly, then slowly said, "I'm a private land here. What do you think? Do you dare to break in and think I dare not kill?"

"Then you have to buy the nearby land immediately to maximize your profits. I believe you are a local. You must have done it?" Rockefeller Jr. asked with anticipation. The more land Sheffield acquired, the more they occupied. The bigger.

"No!" Sheffield simply shook his head. This disappointed Rockefeller Jr., preparing the contact to purchase local land, which was directly blocked by the partner. "Thirty miles from north to south and 20 miles from east to west are all joint. For the company, you said that the oil merchants that flocked from all over the world are drilling wells outside this range. "

"Your land? Are they all, how big?" Rockefeller Jr. said dryly, seeming to feel that the partner of Standard Oil was a little unfathomable.

"Land is the main property of the United Company. The area of ​​this land is 240,000 acres." Sheffield leaked a white tooth. "All the residents in this area are rented by the employees of the United Company. There is no any An inch of land belongs to them. They just live here temporarily. Of course, I will not drive them away. On private land in their own yard, if they want, they can also produce oil wells. I ca n’t even live in the same place. Give them, that's their private land. "

After expressing his generosity, Sheffield led Rockefeller Jr. to an oil well, and Sheffield did n’t see the quality of the oil at a glance, but Rockefeller Jr. was different. Standard Oil Company was a giant built on it. He How can it be impossible to judge the oil quality?

"I just want to kill you!" Rockefeller Jr. said nothing for a long time after watching it, and finally said this with greed.

"I'm just kidding you, otherwise the successor of Standard Oil will be gone. This is Texas!" Sheffield emphasized indifferently, squinting next to her side and sighing softly, "Shut up the gun Get up ... John is our partner, he is just kidding. "

Leaders of such a large company can't speak with any seriousness, which is not good. Sheffield felt that she had to say a few words about Rockefeller Jr., but she swallowed it back in consideration of asking the other party for help.

"Edith has gone to Paris. I didn't see her this time passing Chicago." Rockefeller Jr. sighed suspiciously.

"Ah? Going to Paris! Maybe something happened, has she been abroad before?" Shearfield also expressed concern at the news. He didn't know what happened to Edith Rockefeller recently.

The two just talked about it, and the moment changed to the next stage, because the mining has just begun, how big the oil area is, and the estimated reserves are unknown, but one thing can be confirmed, the discovery of this large oil field will make the two Cooperation has never been closer than ever before, and there is nothing that can bind people's hearts more than benefits.

In the small town of Kilgore, two young people with a taste of asphalt stayed here temporarily, and no one can grasp the precise context more than visiting the scene. Sheffield has repeatedly guaranteed that he is definitely a law-abiding citizen. How to fulfill it made Rockefeller Jr. feel relieved.

"The contract is protected by law, unless I can lie to you to transfer the shares, but obviously you will not be fooled." Sheffield frowned for a long time, "Because of the standard oil, I can't use some of you against ordinary people. Tricks, so you can rest assured that the reserves will not delay our cooperation. "

"We are all upright businessmen, and naturally everything comes in accordance with the contract." Little Rockefeller nodded with satisfaction. "This will make our cooperation invincible, and no one can fight us."

Rockefeller Jr. has already shown an important attitude, because of the emergence of this oil-producing region, he is willing to stand by his partners under any circumstances.

"Don't forget what you say!" Sheffield said solemnly. "Don't swear by God. There are too many people who swear by God. He is very busy and may not be able to hear."
