My America

"I won't sell to any domestic private company. I don't sell it for as much as I can." Sheffield emphasized this point again, and then paused. "Foreign companies are acceptable, at least not bothersome. The German is actually a good candidate, after all, this is a world power. "

"Mr. William seems to have forgotten that he is a citizen of the United States!" Rosen said sarcastically. "The Germans are scary now. This is something the whole world knows."

"As a government civil servant, you shouldn't tell me what you mean by ordinary people!" Sheffield said dismissively. "How long has it passed since the Spanish-American War, and I know the inside story better than you The development of the world has nothing to do with me. I only know that the Germans have money and are willing to pay huge amounts of money to do this, because the Panama Canal is in hand, which helps Germany increase its influence in the Americas. As for the President, It ’s not that I ’m happy. I ’ve talked about this issue before. People ca n’t patriotize on an empty stomach. Do n’t expect me to give up in vain. I do n’t have enough benefits. It ’s not worth a slogan. ”

"Mr. Rosen is better to ask the President, how much money can be paid, is much more important than wasting spit here!" Sheffield took out his pocket watch to watch the time and glanced at Rosen with a polite way, "I If you have to contact the people of Deutsche Bank, you will not stay with Mr. Rosen. Everyone is very busy. "

The slave owners wanted to sell the Panama Canal to the federal government. This is naturally serious, but it is also serious to contact the Germans, all serious. If Theodore Roosevelt could not pay a suitable price, he would really sell the canal to the Germans.

Anyway, this is a desperate thing. The German Empire now urgently needs to establish influence in the world. If there is one, it will be given to them. The Germans are definitely very interested.

"You use Germany to suspend the federal government. To be honest, our businessmen are better not to deal with the government. This is very dangerous." This is Rockefeller Manor. Rockefeller Jr. is naturally well aware of the causes and consequences. He feels that Sheffield is too disrespectful of the federal government.

"It is indeed more dangerous. For example, you all support William McKinley. As a result, he was assassinated. The president who came up now does not look down on trust companies." Sheffield's gloating, and then the tone changed to relaxed, " Now that I am doing business with the United States of America and the German Empire, and the two great powers are waiting for me alone, is this a blessing? "

When ready, Sheffield negotiated with the people of Deutsche Bank as Germany's largest bank. Since its establishment, Deutsche Bank has been engaged in the financing of large-scale projects in the world and played an important role in the financing of industrialization in Germany and overseas.

Before the Franco-Prussian War, the Franc firmly held the core position. In particular, the Latin Monetary Union established under the advocacy of Napoleon III made the currencies of the European continents mainly use the franc as the exchange medium, which is a bit like the dollar after World War II. At the same time, the United Kingdom, especially London, has gradually achieved the status of European financial center under a series of financial innovations. In this context, French and British banks control the economic lifeline of continental Europe. However, all this changed with the defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian War, and it was also when Deutsche Bank debuted.

In other words, Deutsche Bank is an important weapon for the expansion of the German Empire, and it bears important financial responsibilities. Sheffield and the Germans are also old friends, and he likes to deal with the next-level powers. Because the world's second child, often in order to catch up with the world's boss, will open up more fair terms.

Therefore, people often see that the country ranked second in the world appears in the face of injustice. The Soviet Union during the Cold War was spreading money everywhere, as was the latter. In this era, the United States has been doing a lot of wrongdoing. There are even contenders for doing it, because there are Germans who are concerned about the position of the British world hegemony.

As an old friend of the German Empire, a collaborator of senior German fans, it is very normal to collude with the Germans. It is normal to choose the location at the Rockefeller Estate, a descendant of German immigrants. The two large companies are at least On the surface, collusion seems to have no power to stop him from betraying the country.

The New York branch president Adman was very happy to be a guest at Rockefeller Estate. He knew that the owner of the joint company in front of him had maintained a very good relationship with the domestic Thyssen joint company and the Krupp family.

"Mr. William, I don't know why we found our bank?" Adman was not confused by a few words. Although the German's reputation is exaggerated, one thing is true, it is not naive.

"Actually, whether this matter succeeded or not, it's not entirely at the private company level!" Sheffield maintained an amazing candidness and introduced the current situation. "I am very open to the sale of the canal It ’s okay to sell to anyone. If the Japanese can afford it, I can sell it to the Japanese. The problem is the level of national influence. Although you and I are businessmen, you should also understand what this canal means to a country. , So I cannot guarantee that Germany will be able to get what it wants. "

"Mr. William means that the federal government of your country will interfere? This does not seem to be in line with your country's philosophy." Although Alderman thanked the slave owner for his candidness, he was also somewhat disappointed.

"Those ideas are just to confuse ordinary people. What country does not say something pretty?" Sheffield said indifferently. "I can only guarantee a little, unless the domestic bid is higher than Germany. If the price is about the same, priority will be given. Sell ​​the country ... sell it to your country. "

Sheffield's contact with Deutsche Bank at Rockefeller Estate spread through various channels. When meeting with the Germans, Sheffield expressed a rare honesty, saying that whether he can make a trip depends on the meaning of the federal government. After all, once the country is rogue, no one can solve it.

"Actually, Mr. William, it is not impossible to sell to your country's enterprises. Why do you want us?" This is an unsolvable question for Adman. Before he left, he asked his doubts.

"It's good to say that heretics are more hateful than heretics. I can't watch other domestic companies acquire my project to grow and grow!" Sheffield replied frankly with both hands in his hands. In fact, he must first describe it inside. More aptly, he is afraid that the Germans will not understand, after all, German is a very long-winded language.

Because of the frankness of the meeting, he almost transformed into a slave owner of the United States ’largest traitor. The idea in his heart has been accurately known by the Germans. Even if Germany wants the Panama Canal, it will fail with great probability. But this matter is still operable. After all, although the United States hides its honour in the Americas, Europe still has a vigilance against this big American country. The American threat theory appears all the time and is not new.

Even if control of the Panama Canal is not obtained, the federal government of the United States can increase expenditures, which can be considered. This is a good thing for the whole of Europe.

So even if it is unsuccessful in the end, Deutsche Bank can help this and help slave owners blackmail the federal government.

The American Canal Management Company's sale of the Panama Canal has become more and more like the real thing as it was unveiled bit by bit. Sheffield, who has the media in his hand, began to join forces with the Germans to build momentum. Even on the European continent, there is inside information about his negotiations with Deutsche Bank.

The sale of the canal to the Germans has become more and more true, and has even caused discussions among the Germans. At this time, Roosevelt in the White House could no longer sit still. When Rosen came to Rockefeller Estate for the third time, there was not much. Say a word and say directly, "Mr. William, President Roosevelt wants to invite you to talk to the White House."

"Why is this so funny? Morgan went to the White House and the coal cartel suffered heavy losses. Will I go to the White House and will it be taken advantage of by the state?" Sheffield hesitantly said, "I'm already because of the Panama Dam The collapse of the matter was very damaging. Without the help of the state, it was also severely slaughtered by the state. This is very disappointing to many companies. "

"Mr. William, the President has important things, and you have a fair and open interview." Rosen was very difficult to put away the contempt for the slaver's disgusting gesture. It was even difficult to breathe.

"Oh, okay! Let me arrange the itinerary. After all, I'm not talking about the United Company. Everyone knows that my grandmother is the one in charge. Every time I go out, it's really annoying to be surrounded by huge bodyguards. "

Pushing the fear of death with a wagon bodyguard at any time to Galeries Lafayette, Sheffield still showed the quality of a patriotic businessman and decided to go to the White House for a banquet.

Before leaving, I borrowed a little financial talent from the Rockefeller family, calculated all costs and expenses, and various hidden expenses. With a rough price in mind, I went to Washington.

"President Roosevelt is not easy to deal with, you immediately get on the bus from Chicago to Washington, and we go to the White House together." Sheffield connected to Edith Rockefeller with the microphone. The other party was a famous president after all. The slave owner was still a little uncertain. Pull the platform alone.

Rockefeller Jr. is of course the best candidate, but they have clearly refused and can only let Edith Rockefeller do it.

"The country's cheap is not easy to account for!" Three days later, in a train, Sheffield leaned on Edith Rockefeller's thigh, complaining lazily, and the adulterer ** went to the Hongmen Banquet together.
