My America

"To tell the truth, the decision on tax reduction for large companies is not something that ordinary companies can do. I deeply admire several large companies in Delaware!" Sheffield continued with a whimper. "Maybe it is enviable Union companies ca n’t do that in Texas anymore. You also know that tariffs have risen again after the Republican Party came to power. "

"What does it matter to you if the tariff increase? Agricultural and livestock products are not easy to export?" Edith Rockefeller said strangely. "With the scale of the joint company, the increase in tariffs will have limited impact on your family. It ’s a small business, what ’s the logic here. ”

"The logic is that the smuggling industry is booming. The joint company originally did this. It is definitely going to cause a rebound if it asks the state council to reduce taxes. It is always necessary to take care of the interests of others." Sheffield clearly told his mistress, and It is not that he does not want to learn the DuPont consortium, but that there is no basis for replication.

Why do you have to leave some soup for other people to eat meat? The problem is that the time spent by the joint company in smuggling is much older than that of his heir, and a large part of the business of smuggling is developed by Black Gold.

It is definitely unwilling for Sheffield to take Black Gold ’s main business in exchange for the tax cuts of the Texas State Assembly. Texas connections are important, as are the private armies of the affiliated companies.

The state council wants to cut taxes without paying anything, considering that the United States ’home base for smuggling is its own home. There is not much oil and water that can be scraped from the tariff issue. You can eat and wipe it yourself. The Texas government ca n’t even get the root hair. That ’s not enough, so Edith Rockefeller said to copy it. He knows himself There was no way to replicate Delaware's actions, because he could not come up with similar conditions for exchange.

"Moreover, the state of Delaware with big booger, can it compare with Texas? The area of ​​Texas is one hundred times that of Delaware, and the relationship that needs to be opened can not be compared with Delaware. , You have to say that I have something to ask for the Arlington city government, not even the city council, just send someone to the city government to say it. The mayor of Arlington ’s son is a staff of the joint company, even if it is in Arrogant, I dare not say that more than two million Texans are working for the United Company. "

"That's really a pity!" Edith Rockefeller heard it, and realized that there were so many differences in it. It was not a problem that could be solved by copying the DuPont consortium.

"So in the end, we still have to fight for market share. The DuPont consortium is not easy to deal with. No one knows how much the industrial and mining companies in their company can value. This is like the land of the joint company. It seems that there is nothing, but everyone knows how many treasures are hidden inside? "Sheffield envyed," The DuPont family is among the oldest companies in history, second only to the Boston First Bank represented by Adams. Like your father, Morgan, Vanderbilt, and Carnegie, it ’s too short to be defeated under the leadership of genius, but it can be scary enough to accumulate over a hundred years. "

Although Sheffield said envy in a pretend tone, he was indeed envious. I never dreamed of such an operation at the end of the nineteenth century? Seeing the first interview for the trickle-down effect.

And the first operation is always risky, such as this trickle-down effect. Although the citizens of the United States are not very smart now, the folk atmosphere is definitely stronger than the silly forks that have been fully laid out after a hundred years later.

Normal people will certainly be dissatisfied with this explanation. With such a thought, Sheffield should use the media newspapers in his hands to attack the Delaware State Assembly and step down DuPont ’s reputation. But the DuPont family does not seem to have any good reputation, and others don't care.

Furthermore, this involves a very real problem, Sheffield cannot betray his own class. He knows that the trickle-down theory is fooling around, and capital never dislikes its poor profitability, and it should still be laid off when it is time to lay off staff. But he is a capitalist, DuPont is doing what he wants to do in the future.

Sheffield also wanted to seal up the citizens' upward space as soon as possible, and build a large, tight-fitting filter. So you must shut up in this matter, and even if you do n’t speak up and praise it as a blessing, you ca n’t criticize Delaware ’s actions.

"You men are worrying, can't you comfort me?" Sheffield squinted at Edith Rockefeller, pointing to his face, "I'm so worried without looking?"

Edith Rockefeller looked at Sheffield funny, walked over and bowed his head, unbuttoning the man's belt.

"I just want to ask for comfort!" Sheffield swallowed back the words that came to her mouth. Everyone has done this, can they not appreciate it?

The DuPont consortium is a trust on the surface, but in fact it is a Concern, that is, a variety of enterprise groups. Although the Dupont Commonwealth does not involve the banking industry that Konzern attaches most importance to. This has created the versatility of the DuPont consortium. Under the wings of the DuPont consortium, many members of the DuPont family also have their own companies.

This company, also a member of the DuPont family, does not seem to have anything to do with the DuPont consortium, but there is a saying that blood is thicker than water, which is also common in the United States. A few years later, after the death of Eugene Dupont, the three founders of the company Great-grandson Thomas Clermont Dupont, Alfred Irene Dupont and Pierre Samuel Dupont bought Dupont.

Can they use the money in the company to buy the head office? Naturally, he took over the Dupont Commonwealth with other wealth in his own name and controlled the Dupont Commonwealth with his personal property.

In fact, the Sheffield Union Company is also a similar model. In the sugar industry, the Union Company is now a trust, but the Sugar Trust is only one of the industries of the Union Company.

"Hmm!" Sheffield snorted, Edith Rockefeller had stood up, and there was still a trace of the corner of her mouth. She turned to the bathroom and returned to taste after a while, "Is the amount still enough, my chin. It hurts. Has Anne treated you like this? "

"She is different from you!" Sheffield glanced at the exaggerated lines of Edith Rockefeller and glanced at the head. "Your question is too strange. I always feel that it is strange to talk to another woman at this time with a woman." of."

Pierre Dupont, the headquarters of the DuPont Consortium in Wilmington, Delaware, has just returned to the company. The resolution of the state council has given him a little peace of mind. There is still room to save things now. Now that the Republican Party is in power again, the family has many connections in the political world, but it is just a coincidence that the opponent has taken it.

Everyone knows that the first generation of leaders of the Dupont family was actually a diplomat. It was only because of the unstable political situation in France that he came to the United States. The first thing to gain a foothold in the United States was to help the federal government to acquire French Louisa. It can be said that apart from the Adams family, which is the father and son, the Dupont family knows more than anyone else to develop by the power of politics.

The members of the DuPont family have been dealing with various politicians for a long time, and they still have their own confidence in the network. As long as one and a half years have passed, the situation in the Philippines has stabilized and the military ’s general voice has been reduced, which can alleviate the pressure brought by the opponents in this round. Now it is just a short hard day.

"Pierre, there is a guest waiting in your office!" Just entering DuPont's headquarters, a beautiful female employee stopped Pierre Dupont and pointed in the direction of his office.

"Thank you, my sweetheart!" Pierre Dupont chuckled and walked directly into his office. He saw a man of his own age, dressed in a meticulous manner. The man's eyes implied shrewdness, absolutely a Characters that are not easy to deal with, just sit in their chairs and look at themselves with a smile.

"Who is this gentleman?" Pierre Du confirmed that he had never seen this person, but the other person's temperament revealed that his temper was not good. He did not speak badly.

"Although it's hard to be embarrassed, I've been used to it for a long time. My father's name is JP Morgan. I'm Little Morgan!" Little Morgan sighed heavily and opened his hands full of helplessness. "In fact, I myself I do n’t want to introduce myself like this, but my father ’s name is indeed more famous. ”

Morgan? Pierre Dupont's name is not a bad name. Although the Dupont family is also developing as many industries as possible, it has no foundation in the banking industry like its rivals.

Even so, if Pierre Dupont hadn't heard Morgan's name, it would be funny to say it. They are also the king of the banking industry, calming their minds, and Pierre Dupont questioned, "If Morgan is going to talk to the company about business, he should find Eugene instead of sitting here."

"Mr. Eugene Dupont is not my peer after all! I will talk to Mr. Pierre more smoothly, of course, I will definitely find Mr. Eugene when the start is smooth." Little Morgan smiled indifferently, seemingly unintentionally said , "I heard that Delaware has made a decision to encourage the development of large enterprises, and I am happy for the Dupont family. The Dupont family is a French nobleman, right, just like the female nobleman who is next to the heir of the Sheffield family. , Has its own traditions and pride. I just do n’t know how long it can last. "

"Mr. Morgan seems to have something to say. We must have rejected the Rockefeller family, and we must have our own pride!" Pierre Dupont replied.

"Don't be so hostile. I'm actually here to talk about cooperation. To put it more bluntly, we can make allies." Little Morgan shook his finger to signal that he was not malicious.
