My America

Compared with the French patent authorization, Sheffield wants to obtain a German patent authorization. This is not to say that the French have no invention content. After all, movie patents and tape patents have high gold content. But he remembered more about bikinis, miniskirts, perfumes, and suitcases.

The innovation of the French is the pinnacle of wear. Sheffield needs car patents, refrigerators, phonographs and even involves many fields of biochemicals. In the world of 1895, Germany is undoubtedly the leader.

"I heard that Mr. William Conrad discovered a new ray, named the Roentgen ray. This is another pioneer of civilization in the world. Even on the farm at home, I can feel that Europe is indeed the center of the world. The United States is too far away from these civilizations, it is really too far away. ”Sheffield said convincingly,“ and now the center of Europe, for me personally, has moved from Britain to Germany. The country that leads the world ’s progress is naturally German . "

To be fair, in terms of paper strength, the German Empire of William II has formed an overwhelming advantage over the French. If there was a French girl beside him, Sheffield's spirit of Jingde had exploded with a fanatical mentality. Touted, but since there are French around him, he is still restrained this time.

If Germany prepared longer before the First World War, it was not a rush to join the battlefield, and it would not dare to say that it could single out the Allies. It is also easy to make the Allied Power Group pay a heavier price.

Sheffield very much hoped that he would get the support and help of the German chemical companies, so that he could ensure the defeat of his opponents after going back. , Do you still need help from German companies? "

Obviously Friedrich Bayer felt that these upstarts in the Americas were just coming to take advantage.

"In all fairness, this is the case. Many factories can imitate European technology without hesitation within the United States. This kind of thing happened. No matter whether it is Germany, France, or the United Kingdom, there is actually no way for us. But the Sheffield family In the industrial field, the start is a bit slower than that of the northern companies. If you want to catch up with your opponents, you must introduce the most advanced technology. I personally think that this is also a great benefit for German companies. "Sheffield uses a spoon Stirring the coffee prepared by the other party, he shook his head slightly, "To be honest, it's hard to drink. It's a little harder to get a good coffee in Germany. In fact, I can give it to my husband. In short, we can cooperate and I will pay A patent fee that everyone can accept is good for Germany and the United States. "

Sheffield was not hoping that the United States would stand on the side of Germany in the First World War. First of all, this difficulty was amazing. Furthermore, even if it could be done, it could not be done, because the Allies Group is indeed too many people. Tied to Germany, the United States is expected to be retaliated against by the Allies.

However, from a personal standpoint, Sheffield can be closer to the loser, which has nothing to do with the United States. As for paying royalties to the Germans with gold francs from France, who does n’t know who knows? Thinking of this, Sheffield glanced at Annie, should she control the girl?

"In this way, it seems that all of this is for Bayer, and it is even good for many Germans." Friedrich Bayer laughed. He really felt funny. "What cooperation do you use? Coffee beans?"

Friedrich-Bayer dreamed that one day, a farmer ran across the Atlantic Ocean to the Ruhr area to find his cooperation. Are the two parties technically equal?

"The popular coffee is produced in Jamaica and West Indies in Central America. It has the characteristics of mellow, slightly sweet, soft and smooth in bitterness, and slightly sour, which can make the sense of taste more sensitive. In fact, in Haiti and Cuba The coffee in the Americas is very good. ”Sheffield did n’t seem to hear the arrogance in the other ’s mouth, and said plainly,“ The coffee beans are not the necessities that people need. The small countries of origin can also be wiped out by Germany ’s fingers. But ...

"None of these small countries is controlled by Germany, which is very embarrassing." Sheffield stood up and opened the curtains that blocked the sun. The sky outside was a little dim, just like the general scenery of industrial areas in this era. "The land under the sun is so beautiful, it is very suitable for farming."

Today ’s agriculture in the United States is undoubtedly the world ’s first, but in Sheffield ’s eyes, this naturally has potential to be tapped. He came to Europe naturally for industrial expansion, but he never forgot the basic home Agriculture and animal husbandry.

Of course, agriculture and animal husbandry can go one step further, replacing livestock with machinery, the land that will be reclaimed will be more extensive, and more people will be managed with fewer people. This requires industrial support. In the machinery industry, Sheffield believes that the Germans are not famous for their high-end machinery and strict national spirit in 1895, but the price of the Germans is definitely cheaper than the British.

Sheffield wanted to seize the opportunity to transform into a farmer in the modern sense. He would rather look for Germans than pay for royalties instead of northern Yankees. It's that simple.

"I have brought in professional accountants and related personnel who can inject capital for Bayer and can buy shares at twice the value of Bayer, but can stipulate in the contract that Sheffield will never interfere with any decision of Bayer. This is considered A gift I gave to Mr. Bayer. In exchange, I hope that Bayer can authorize Sheffield to produce products patented by Bayer in the United States. For other chemical companies, Sheffield can pay the patent fee , It depends on how much Mr. Bayer can talk about. The less the Sheffield ’s patent fee is, the more your agency fee will be.

"With the input of these funds, Bayer can invest heavily in researching areas of interest. Become a representative of a German company, and Bayer can then repurchase its own shares if it feels that the time is right. Sheffield must Will not refuse, "Sheffield said with a long and eloquent statement." Actually, I want to sign a broad contract with Mr. Bayer and your colleagues to fill the shortcomings of both parties. "

"It seems that the conditions are too generous." Friedrich Bayer had to admit that it was not much different from the pie in the sky, and asked in doubt, "The purpose of this?"

"British bully!" Sheffield reminded the other party of the recent Venezuelan crisis and looked forward to forming a sense of antagonism.
