My America

"I didn't do anything to offend people anyway!" Sheffield didn't care how the proposal was passed, it was OK, and he didn't think he was too much, because New Orleans' reconstruction plan can be called a conscience engineering.

What superiority does the Dixie have? Obviously, the overall economy in the north far exceeds that in the south. What is the advantage of this situation? This is nothing more than a sparsely populated area, coupled with excellent agricultural and animal husbandry conditions, without having to assume the difficult and difficult working environment of the industrial zones of the northeastern states.

So maybe the Dixie people are not so rich, but their lives are definitely not very bad, and the standard is hard work to get rich. As for the densely populated industrial areas in the northeastern states, it depends on what proportion of the factory owners and workers are divided.

One of Sheffield ’s problems is that he likes to see places where people are inferior to himself, so he once took Anne to visit the kiln in Paris. During his free time in New York, he took Natalia to the slums and took a look. The capitalist lighthouse is in deep water, but unfortunately the time is not right, and no homeless people have been found.

The reason is also very simple. In a place where there are four distinct seasons, even beggars have to be divided into low and high seasons. It is still the beginning of the year, and the living environment of homeless people is not very good. Quite dead.

Sheffield must also admit that the north has its advantages. For example, touching porcelain is a risky thing in winter. Catch the winter ice road. He has never seen a few who dare to fall in front of the car. Existence, the ice road offsets the effect of the brakes. Bianci just wants money, not trying to take his own life.

"Listen to my father, our original hometown was very cold in winter!" Natalia curled her hands, still quite satisfied with Sheffield's company, even the unfriendly temperature was overcome.

"You say that, I really can't refute it!" Sheffield smiled helplessly. Natalya was Russian when he heard the name. As long as the world can live, who dares to compare with Russia in the cold, he can't do it. .

Just don't know how the local homeless people live in the winter in Russia, do you rely on vodka?

"Actually, our country is so big that people from these northeastern states can immigrate to the west!" Natalia said a little pitifully. "It's hard to live in a few states near New York?"

"A large population has the benefits of a large population. First of all, a large population has a great opportunity, so many people are willing to flock into big cities. After all, in the subconscious of people, they feel that they are the children of heaven. Those who think that their own efforts will change their destiny There are quite a few, and various newspapers are also rendering the superiority of the United States over the European noble countries, creating such an illusion for the civic class. "Sheffield shrugged." This is something that cannot be done. Every country will do this. People are greedy. "

"Is the population of New Orleans a bit inadequate, delaying your plan?" Natalia said with some concern. "Even if you join other friends and seal the land near New Orleans, the local pressure is not great. Right? "

"Who told you? The urban area does not have our land?" Sheffield asked with a smile. "At that time, New Orleans was the largest city in the south and the center of population trade. It can be said that the entire southern manor is in New Orleans has real estate. The landowners there, you do n’t actually understand. Considering the supply and demand relationship, even if there are only a few hundred thousand people in New Orleans, it is completely enough. Besides, it will make a renovation plan based on the population. Of the land would rather be used as a park than to invest in the market to disrupt housing prices. "

Are you saying that a small population will not attract other people to come? At least in comparison to New York, Chicago, and Detroit, New Orleans ’house prices are not expensive. Although most of the land outside the city is in the hands of the United Company and allies, ca n’t it be rented if it is not sold?

In itself, it is similar to a British colony environment, and Sheffield has reason to believe that he can turn New Orleans into the southern pearl. Soon Sheffield led Xiao Maomei, ending this evil journey of capitalism. Just wanted to propose, or if we were to watch the prostitutes in New York, Xiao Maomei said that she was tired, wanted to change her appetite, and experience a drunken fan of capitalism.

OK then! Sheffield did not see the homeless man and regretted that he did not plan to do a good job today. But Natalia opened her mouth, and he could only end today's trip with regret.

"Why does Sheffield even attract people like Vanderbilt II?" Morgan said with a puzzled expression on his face. "Does Vanderbilt II have any property? It seems not, except for the railway left by his grandfather." , Intervention in supermarket chains has also failed, is it because of the actions in real estate? "

"This is also possible!" Morgan was like a wild cat when he was silent. He also wondered why this southern slave owner came to New York? However, this kind of operation attracted people like Vanderbilt II. Even if he couldn't get a clue for this operation for a moment, is there any valuable place for the descendants of the railway king, "Is it against the Vanderbilt family? Is the railway coming? "

It seems that in the hands of the Vanderbilt family, only the rail system in New York is valuable. It is the rail system that supports the luxury life of the members of the Vanderbilt family.

"That's not really good news, father!" Little Morgan heard something worried. The Morgan family's penetration of the railway system has not been a year or two. The penetration can be said to be very successful. The only drawback is that The Vanderbilt family railway network and the Rockefeller railway network.

However, Standard Petroleum has long begun to work on the oil pipeline system. In the battle with Scott, it used the oil pipeline to defeat Scott, who controlled the railway, so that Carnegie's mentors ended dismal.

Morgan and his son thought of the grievances of Rockefeller and Carnegie at the same time, but did not expect that the grievances had been resolved.

The Harlem Railway, Hudson Railway, and New York Central Railway, Michigan Central Railway, Lakeside Railway, Southern Canada Railway, and New York-centered railway network are the foundations that support the Vanderbilt family.

Many of the above railways have been controlled by Morgan, but the descendants of the railway king still control several key railway lines. In case Sheffield came over and challenged himself with the railway king, this is really a trouble. thing.

It is also the Vanderbilt family. It is too far from the story of starting a business. Every time I go to the news, it is reported how to live a luxurious life. Even Morgan ca n’t imagine. What is the value of the Vanderbilt family?

Too smart head likes to complicate simple things. After his son's reminder, Morgan is also a bit suspicious.

By this time, Sheffield had left New York with Vanderbilt II's $ 20 million guarantee. I do n’t know if I ’ve made Morgan and his son suspicious for days, as the enemy prepares to meet the challenges of the railway system.

"John didn't even know that I came to Chicago!" Sheffield's tone was full of worries that he didn't want to work hard, waiting for Chicago's richest man to pull himself out of the image of a failed man who had to bow his head under the pressure of hard life.

"If you don't bring the girl over, maybe you can really confuse me!" Edith Rockefeller said with a sneer. "You are not far from the old man in your family. Could it be that you came over in my villa and came to a show Right two? "

"If you don't object, it's not impossible!" Sheffield's eyes rolled, and it seemed that the screen had been filled out, and the expression on his face gradually became abnormal.

"The beauty you want!" Edith Rockefeller's aura opened, "What do you think? Really want me and other women to sleep with you?"

"It's a joke, Edith!" Sheffield sighed, touching the hand of Edith Rockefeller. "This is the hand of the richest woman in the first woman. It's so smooth to touch. I don't know which man is cheaper?"

Sheffield knew that when he came to Chicago, he had to carry the weight. It was said that he really needed Edith Rockefeller himself. If he could get help from sister Rockefeller Jr., he would cash in on Carnegie Steel ’s success rate. From 60% to 90%.

Edith Rockefeller wiped off the sweat after the joy, and asked with a smile, "John is looking for you to jointly take over the shares of Carnegie Steel. You do n’t have the money, you want to borrow from me? Do I listen? Wrong, do n’t you forget that I am also Rockefeller, take the money my father gave me, and do business with our family? Can business still do this? "

Edith Rockefeller still underestimated Sheffield's face, and the latter nodded directly, indicating that she was completely correct. That's what she thought. She was thinking of Edith Rockefeller's $ 30 million in assets.

"You're too bully, you eat and sleep, and you have to pay me to help you develop your career?" Edith Rockefeller said incredulously. "That's how I raise a little man!"

Sheffield extended his finger to his nose without care, and said leisurely, "Is my age very old? Now your little man just said that there is not enough cash and needs your help. Can you give it? Give it? You do n’t give it to me, I do n’t have any prestige in front of your standard oil, and John does n’t expect me to look at me high. ”

"I give you!" Edith Rockefeller was silent for a long time, biting her silver teeth. "But you have to use your shares as collateral. Don't look at me like this. I also think about my son and leave him a security. If you get so much from a woman, you are in a state. "

Sheffield's face remained the same, he also felt that he had surpassed the old man in a certain field, and the blue was better than the blue. The king of the soft rice world, the first soft rice king of the United States.
