My America

"Even the women's money is deceived!" Edith Rockefeller continued to grumble, this man is too bottomless, seems to have determined himself.

"Actually think about it, the stock industry in your hands is not very developed, at least not compared with the steel industry, is it?" Sheffield really entered the role of a small white-faced boy and climbed into the bed of the rich woman. , An affectionate look like not wanting to continue working hard, "Will I hurt you? Overcoming this difficulty, I will be able to become a side-by-side presence with a real big businessman, and I can struggle for less than a few years."

"The key is that you continue to work hard!" Edith Rockefeller smiled and raised an eyebrow. "The key is that your capital is still very rich and fascinating."

Do not dare to have a huge capital, dare to confront the actual weapon? Upon hearing this praise, Sheffield gave a little bit of esteem to show respect.

"It seems that I'm really stumped. I can put my ideas on Vanderbilt II, but I also blame yourself for being too greedy. I even want to rely on someone to raise money independently. Carnegie's steel kingdom Even if Standard Oil wanted to eat, it would be impossible to want a wholly-owned holding. "After Edith Rockefeller was put on pajamas, he began to think about the situation for Sheffield." Have you not considered financing at all? "

"If you raise money, do you think that Morgan and Son will give me money? Is this John and my opponent? Okay, I am not interested in the steel industry. My brother asked me. Actually, the steel industry is not very important to me. Urgent, but I have no resistance to persuasion, especially the industry itself makes money. "Sheffield did not hide his weakness of greed, in fact, the Panama Canal project is the same, if Gail and McHale persuaded, He himself was not prepared to intervene.

Then the industry involved is getting bigger and bigger like snowballing. At first, Sheffield considers the layout of emerging industries that no one else pays attention to, so that the investment is small and the return is large. But if the overlord of the basic industry does not deal with it, this is also a very troublesome thing.

Now Sheffield understands that this is not something that stops in his mind as soon as he wants to stop, just like the standard oil is hard against antitrust laws, and sometimes the environment does not allow this.

Who does n’t want his business to be impeccable? Take the United Company, for example, it is a big landowner, but the agricultural and animal husbandry products do not have too high added value, so he made a supermarket chain and needed a fist product, he bought the two major Coke brands. Why did he buy it? Two, let them fight against two other beverage manufacturers.

United Machinery Company needs stable raw materials, and needs its own steel plant. With the steel plant, it is possible to drive down costs. With the cost advantage, he started to make cars again because half of the Texas oil field is in his own hands. In this way, one industry after another continues, more and more industries are involved.

In the final analysis, I want to keep a hand when it is the most difficult to prevent my neck from being found negligent by others. The steel king Carnegie was an oversight at first, and was almost killed by Rockefeller using iron ore. If it were not for the antitrust law to find trouble every day, it might have been swallowed by the largest standard oil among industrial capital.

Carnegie did not fall under the standard oil's iron ride like his own mentor Scott. Today, he gave Morgan and his son the opportunity. Today he must stand with Standard Oil and find a way to let the financial industry devour the industry. stop.

"What's your relationship with the old woman?" On the train back to the South, she saw Sheffield overwork and Natalie questioned badly, summoning the half-dreamed Sheffield back to the real world.

"Old woman? Edith Rockefeller? Her age is not very big, of course, it is incomparable with you. You are at the most beautiful age in your life." Sheffield yawned, although his face was already I was a little tired, thinking about countermeasures in my mind, thinking about how to welcome the next round of offense and defense.

Even want to take advantage of your own confusion, ask the proposition? Xiaomao's idea will never come true.

"Is she pretty? I didn't see it at all, compared with me?" Natalia asked confidently. "And I can see that she is definitely older than you. Where is she stronger than me?" It ’s just that I ’m stronger than me, I ’m still growing, and I ’m not necessarily weaker than her. ”

It is not weak now! Sheffield swallowed secretly, and said with a sad and sorrowful tone, "No way, now I have to beg for others. You also know that when a person is desperate, besides selling his body, what else can he sell? Edith Rockefeller was able to help me through the difficulties, and this is also no way. She can only get this from me! "

Sheffield's face was helpless. If it wasn't for the cigar that was just lit on the finger to play a bit, it was an outstanding representative of a failed man who was overwhelmed by life. He had to sacrifice his body and change a little leftovers.

"But you are so rich!" Natalia did not believe this one-sided remark, because she did not know the amount of Sheffield's urgent need for money. Will such rich people bow their heads because of financial problems?

"Like poor people want to be rich, rich people want more money, don't expect rich people to stop making money because they are rich." Sheffield yawned, "I have a big deal It requires a lot of money. This is also for life, and sometimes I have to bow my head. "

Furthermore, although Edith Rockefeller said that it is not a peerless beauty, it can be seen. Who dares to say that she is an old woman? What does his wife look like? No point in my heart?

But Natalia in front of her is indeed qualified to say so, because in New York Sheffield and Little Sister went to the photo studio, and she has already determined a basic fact. She has already carried the threat of the era mirror, and it has not been because of it. The technical flaws of the times have caused a decline in face value.

Perhaps it was Sheffield's tired face that was confusing. When Natalya saw this helpless and tired look, she unknowingly softened. Maybe the man would indeed encounter a lot of helplessness while struggling.

If Natalia knows that the bow and helplessness now is entirely due to Sheffield ’s too greedy to eat a single food, it is estimated that the regret in my heart will be reduced a lot, but unfortunately, before Sheffield has seen it, he will accept it. , Straight head crooked continue to be confused.

This year is an election year. Although the power has not been fully demonstrated at the beginning of the year, according to the practice, the election will become the focus of the newspapers of all parties when it is less than the middle of the year. That is, because it is the election year, many local governments have It's the principle of running one more thing than one less, rather than doing nothing, and don't want to affect your party's election.

Is there no such thing as mean in the United States? Naturally there are also, especially in the election year, when it comes to elections, all parties will sing me to the stage, but at the government level, the word mean is used to the fullest.

Traditionally, especially after the Civil War, the election was absolutely painful for the Democratic Party, no matter who was allowed to fight for the Democratic Party. Even if the Republican Party led a dog to run, the president ’s throne would not be the Democrat ’s turn.

However, this situation is being shaken since President Cleveland's prominence, and Democrats, who had few challengers before the Civil War, have gradually recovered their strength. They don't need to believe that they will win every election.

At that time, even the Republican Party's primary election was more intense than the Democratic National Election. Republican candidates also put their main focus on the party, because they know that once the candidate is nominated within the Republican Party, almost his grandma and Jordan can win the championship together.

The Democratic Party is completely vulnerable, but this year is an election year, and Sheffield does not want to let the elections delay his plan. This year is very important to him. Things are delayed.

"Governor Roosevelt, I should consider my suggestion carefully!" Mark Hanna said, looking at Roosevelt in front of him slowly.

Mark Hannah came to New York this time specifically, the purpose is to meet with New York Governor Roosevelt, hoping that Roosevelt can serve as the deputy of his close friend William McKinley to participate in this election.

Mark Hanna and William McKinley's attitude toward the beginning of the Spanish-American War was too hesitant and passive. This is actually a subtraction item compared with the results of the later war. More importantly, within the Republican Party, because of Roosevelt's firm attitude to war, Roosevelt's prestige has been greatly improved, which is actually a threat in Mark Hanna's eyes.

New York State is also the economic center of the United States. If Roosevelt is operating in New York, it may pose a challenge to William McKinley, so Mark Hannah ’s strategy this time is to win the election of Roosevelt and William McKinley to become William. McKinley's deputy.

As we all know, with the exception of President Washington ’s deputy Adams, the future vice president actually has no rights, and his sense of existence is almost zero. In this way, Roosevelt can be left aside, without interfering with this election, and having a war hero as vice president will also make up for the weakness of William McKinley who is not keen on war.

It was Mark Hannah ’s goal that Roosevelt saw. The Roosevelt looked at the close President ’s close friend and was n’t sure who it meant, he said, “I need time to think about it, and Mr. Mark will be given a reply in a few days. "
