My America
Chapter 395: Northern Securities
In any event, Sheffield really lost because of the election, because the Panama Canal project was forced to take over, and was again re-elected by the coal cartel.
"This re-election, our President Mr. certainly will not be so petty as the last time." Seeing Evelyn and Alice Roosevelt come in, has accepted the reality of the slave owner, now thinking, should be ready to meet In the next round of the storm, he concluded that Roosevelt, who was re-elected successfully, would inevitably open a big move to monopoly enterprises.
"The joint company model is not a trust model, in fact, you shouldn't worry about it." Evelyn gave Alice Roosevelt a vague glance and asked with ease, "Should someone worry about others?"
"There is a saying in the East called Shuda Dafeng. From the model point of view, the joint company is certainly not a trust company. But who is right about this kind of thing, can anyone who believes in politics believe it?" Sheffield asked this question and immediately asked himself He replied, "No, no politician can be trusted. The relationship between our companies and politicians has not always been intimate. President Roosevelt obviously did not want to stay with us forever."
Alice Roosevelt listened to the conversation between the two, and she couldn't help but feel a bit complicated. Although she didn't have any dissatisfaction with her father, she was too straightforward when she talked.
Evelyn's hard work is to hope that the first daughter can play some role after returning to the White House. To see if the joint company can be protected from the threat of antitrust laws, if it is not possible, it will be okay to rank lower.
There was a sigh in Alice Roosevelt's heart. Some regrets why she didn't make it clear during the day, because Evelyn arranged the two to stay in a room, but she was stupidly taken advantage of by Sheffield. How did she talk?
"Shall I sleep on the ground?" Sheffield took out the appearance of the saint who possessed Jesus. Although the following was like an iron rod, it did not delay the appearance of his face.
"Evelyn said that if the antitrust law is implemented by my father, it will affect Congress and the Supreme Court, is it true?" Alice Roosevelt has heard Evelyn's views, but she hopes that Sheffield as a same scale The huge company boss can give a more real answer.
"It's true, especially for big companies, it's not very difficult to decide against the president." Looking at Alice Roosevelt's cheek, Sheffield said honestly, "Of course, in the end, we still hope to be safe, just like When President McKinley did not have a good relationship. "
When President McKinley took office, the US government had no habit of intervening in the economy, whether it was the greatest support. Although the Sherman Anti-Monopoly Law already exists, he opened his eyes and closed his eyes on the monopoly enterprises that had actually been created. During the more than five years of McKinley's administration, it was the golden age for the merger of large American companies.
Sheffield also took advantage of this golden age to move from one merger to another. Of course, other companies are similar. The Morgan Alliance is expanding to various industries. Today ’s enemy is tomorrow ’s friend. Everyone is trying to merge as much as possible. Industry, in addition to the very important industries may be strangled by the neck, must fight a bit, most industries may also be collaborators.
But apparently President Roosevelt did not think so. If it was not for the first term of only three years, he was involved in the energy of the collapse of a Panama Dam in Sheffield, and he was burnt by the coal strike. As early as the first term, he would Rather than practice in a few small industries.
"Boss, important call!" Jesra's voice outside the door greeted Sheffield to go out.
To allow Jesra to make an important call, Sheffield can only go out with a stick throw. The call came from Alton Parker, and explain the news that the Democratic election has failed again.
"Judge Parker is already very good, this time the election has solved my doubts, and the loss is not ugly." Sheffield thanked Alton Parker, the failure itself was expected, and now the slave owner's The mentality has been adjusted and no longer struggles with elections.
At the end of the call, Sheffield returned to the room. There was no one in the bedroom. The bathroom was lit, and the sound of the water was clear, which made it impossible to sleep. It didn't take long for Alice Roosevelt to come out, as if she was a hibiscus in water, and she was very beautiful, which made her even more excited.
Sheffield walked directly into the bathroom to complete the rotation, and seemed to feel the smell that Alice Roosevelt had just left.
After washing, the bedroom was already dark. Sheffield pulled a corner of the quilt into the room. The two were far away from each other. With the passage of time, one minute and one second, Sheffield couldn't sleep, but became more and more awake.
"Don't come here!" "Please!" Two voices sounded one after another, and the two who couldn't sleep finally filled up yesterday's blank memory when they were awake.
The slave owner was quite brave, with some meaning of bombarding the White House, letting the president's daughter fly to the clouds and realizing the feeling that he had never felt before.
He believed that the number of votes was close to the reason because Roosevelt, whose political achievements were not strong, realized the joy of re-election. Just thinking about how to be more favored by voters, the issue of black people, as a president, felt that he should not be too manipulation. Because of the claims he can make, he will not be more extreme than the Democratic Party's.
The slave owners on the West Coast hoped that the president would focus on ethnic issues, because this issue did not harm him. It can't impact your own interests, but the antitrust law is already a matter of class nature. This issue is really important for Sheffield.
Unfortunately, for the real big men, ethnic issues have always been minor issues. As the president of a country, Roosevelt believes that the problem of rich and poor is more important than the problem of ethnicity. He will not be entangled with this small problem, but to let all voters see his president ’s ability, rather than let Yang Ji or Dixie saw it.
The slave owner with Alice Roosevelt on the West Coast is still asleep. The White House ’s Roosevelt has started his work for a day. Attorney General Knox came to the agreement. Say please sit down and then say, "We have to make up our minds when it comes to dealing with the big companies we call trusts."
In fact, as early as the last term, Roosevelt had already expressed his dissatisfaction with the trust. Knox did not expect that President Roosevelt, who had just completed his re-election, was in such a hurry.
Knox said solemnly, "Theodore, which company do you want to operate on."
"Public transportation is for citizens because of the areas that can be clearly felt. Although the automobile industry is developing, for one person, the cost of driving is still huge, and cars can't carry capacity now. Whether citizens are traveling Rail transportation is the most common way of freight transportation. ”Roosevelt said lightly.“ To achieve immediate results so that all citizens can quickly feel the benefits, the railroad system must be moved. ”
"Railway system? Northern Securities in Morgan's hands?" Knox was taken aback. He didn't expect Roosevelt to pick up a difficult bone directly, but it was like Roosevelt said. The railway system is the place where citizens feel the strongest, whether it is individual travel or delivery of goods, as long as they rely on the railway system.
"That's it, a large number of immigrants flocked to the United States, a large number of farmers flocked to cities, the domestic railway mileage has increased rapidly, the railway has formed the country into a truly unified market, the railway is so important, it can affect too much "Roosevelt said Knox guessed right, it was Morgan Securities in the hands of Northern Securities, which controlled the railway system.
Before the establishment of Northern Securities, Harriman and Hill respectively controlled the two railways from the West Coast to the Mideast of the United States. The competition between the two parallel railways allowed people in the Midwest to enjoy the low competition. Price transportation.
Later, Morgan ’s reorganization of order led the two railway giants to shake hands and form the North Securities Company. The emergence of the North Securities Company means that since it can monopolize all the railways in the northwest of the United States, it has the ability to completely control the entire United States. The railway, plus the railway that Morgan originally had in hand, the entire country's railway system has all been calculated by this company.
"Do you really want to take this company?" Knox looked up and saw Roosevelt's serious look and said, "Okay. But this is a difficult battle. Morgan is not a beaten man. We have to do it. Be prepared. "
The slave owner on the West Coast woke up and woke up, not knowing that this morning, the owner of the White House had set the first target for the operation, which was so fast. Sheffield, who got up, made Alice Roosevelt's favorite French bread and milk tea, watching Alice Roosevelt combing her hair in the mirror, could not help but stepped forward and hugged her from behind.
"What are you doing?" Alice Roosevelt resisted a little, angrily, "I don't think nothing happened."
Do you want to pay back if nothing happened? Sheffield could n’t help but remember a bit and kissed directly on Alice Roosevelt ’s face, begging, “I actually have a way to straighten my hair, but I have n’t remembered it before. And I do n’t know if it will be affected by women. welcome."
"Oh?" Alice Roosevelt, who loves new things, was successfully attracted, listening to Sheffield telling about something called an ironing board.
