My America

"Antitrust?" Alton Parker asked in surprise, "Who is it against?"

The gold lord uses the money to help the candidate to run for no return, which is not non-existent. Of course, Alton Parker did not think he was talented and could change this unspoken rule. Before coming to the Opera House, he had already thought that Sheffield might mention some requirements for rewards. Even if this requirement is too excessive, he has already done it. Well psychologically prepared.

But did not expect Sheffield to make such a request, is it not enough for the other party's enterprise to trigger the anti-trust law? Of course it is enough. It is no stranger to him as an old judge.

The definition of any law is actually very vague. On the one hand, the formulator deliberately hooked the enterprise in this way; on the other hand, the enterprise hired a lawyer to wipe the ball. This is a two-way handle, held in the hands of two groups of people.

So Sheffield actually talked about antitrust laws, which made Alton Parker very strange, who to check? You can't check them all, what if you really find out.

"DuPont, what a good target." As DuPont's closest competitor, what kind of dirty things did DuPont do, whose factories were bombed, and what methods were used to force competitors to lose their way. This is not necessary at all. Ask others, Sheffield can give an example one by one, the joint company has done these things before, or the enemy knows each other best.

The history of Dupont ’s evil conduct has been extended to the 21st century, because the harmful organisms of the experiment have adverse effects, but they conceal the facts and discard them arbitrarily, seriously polluting the soil, rivers and drinking water for more than fifty years. After being discovered, DuPont's corresponding solution was to formulate drinking water safety standards. United Drinking Water Company suddenly set a safe concentration standard for tap water that had not been seen before the court. After testing, it was found that DuPont did not exceed the standard. It is announced that the water-using people are legal and safe, and one of the members of the team that set this standard is DuPont.

This is Dupont in the 21st century. For DuPont now, as long as the federal government wants to get in trouble, it will be accurate, as long as the investigation is absolutely impossible for DuPont to run away.

"Is this the only request? It's been so many years." Alton Parker asked slowly. If it was only this request, he would not be able to agree, nor was he the rumor between United and DuPont. totally no idea. I just didn't expect the rumors to be true, and the civil war has been clenched for so many years.

Sheffield was a little hesitant when he heard Alton Parker's voice, but he lowered his eyebrow when he raised his eyebrows. "Of course it's not over. My grandmother is in good health now. This is her biggest wish."

Today, unlike in the past, before the election, Alton Parker was a district judge in New York. But after the election, he was already President Alton Parker, president of the United States for the next four years.

The other party is not a vassal of the United Company, and the slave owner did not arrogantly control the president remotely. According to the examples known so far, it seems that none of these attempts have been successful.

In addition to its own requirements, another requirement is strictly speaking, the beneficiaries are farmers in the Midwest. The tariff issue has always been the focus of debate between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. In consideration of supporting the basics, the Democratic government often chooses to reduce tariffs to promote the export of agricultural and livestock products.

The Republican Party is basically located in the northern industrial zone, so it is diametrically opposed to the issue of tariffs. It chose to set up tariff barriers to protect northern industries from the impact of European industries. Because of the large industrial population, the Republican government has never dared to confuse tariffs.

But now that everything is over, Sheffield has already communicated with the capital of the Ruhr area of ​​Germany. In exchange for the reduction of tariffs in order to export agricultural and livestock products to Germany, the election has now won, and it is time to honor the promise.

Whether this will arouse opposition from northern factory owners is of course, but whether the two most powerful alliances, Standard Oil and the Morgan Alliance, will be opposed is an uncertain matter. Standard Oil is not only a domestic monopoly trust overlord, but also a monopoly in the entire world.

The Morgan Alliance is concentrated in the financial and insurance field, and there are many companies in the industrial field, but in terms of the size of the two companies, there is sufficient ammunition to resist the import of European industrial products. It is those small and medium-sized enterprises that are really unlucky, especially small workshop-type factories.

Although the tariff issue is also an urgent issue that Sheffield is very concerned about, but he is not concerned about him. The farmers in the Midwest are not less concerned than him. With a foreign policy of the United States, everyone ’s interests are shared, not Sheffield alone. Eat all the benefits.

The slave owner did not delay the new president too much. Now Alton Parker ’s time is very precious. The victory of the Democratic Party is just the beginning, and there are still many things waiting for him. The tariff issue mentioned earlier is only one of them. The main supporters of the Democratic Party are two groups of people, the white supremacy in the south, and the agricultural population in the Midwest. In fact, the voters in the south are also the agricultural population. How to deal with agriculture and animal husbandry The industry ’s problem itself does not require Sheffield to talk.

In addition, the formation of a reliable and trustworthy team, who will be the Secretary of State and who will manage the army, will now be able to find people who are looking for Alton Parker. In fact Sheffield wanted to recommend Wilson as Secretary of State, but considering Wilson's current position in the Democratic Party and his identity, he resisted this idea.

In addition to the president, the secretary of state is naturally the role that gives the citizen class the most sense of presence. If Wilson became the Secretary of State, it could be said that he would get a great deal of training, and his scholarly manner might gather a lot of popularity. In this way, whether it is used as a leader of the future Democratic Party or to prepare for future elections, it seems logical.

The problem is that Sheffield is the gold owner of the Democratic Party, but the Democratic Party is not his. As the gold owner, he can't help but take the factions within the Democratic Party seriously, and nominating the Secretary of State is not a decision that a gold owner can make.

Overall, after watching an opera with Alton Parker, Sheffield had already got the promise he wanted. The new president has promised him that he will seriously deal with a group of large enterprises that constitute unfair competition and bring fairness to citizens. Unfairly competitive companies represented by DuPont cannot escape the antitrust laws.

As for the joint company, everyone in this country knows that the two trusts for canned and beef have been dissolved, and the joint company cannot meet the trust standards.

As for DuPont, is it not enough? The core of antitrust law is aimed at unfair competition, not monopoly. So you can sue DuPont, you can't sue United.

Sheffield thinks that she is a capable person, but she is not a god-man. Since she is not a god-man, it is inevitable that when you make mistakes, when you think about the problem, there will inevitably be omissions. He could n’t point fingers at Alton Parker because of the victory of the Democratic Party. Who is the Secretary of State and how to deal with the civil service system? Is it to kill the Cleveland President, to expel 200,000 Republican civil servants, or to hand over calmly? This is not his Manageable problem.

This kind of issue will be discussed within the Democratic Party. If it is not his responsibility, he can control what he can, only this kind of collusion between officials and businessmen, public affairs of private enmity, the oppression of the Democratic and Republican parties, and political suppression. It is not his responsibility.

But how to say, the gold lord and the establishment faction should have been in peace with each other, and the United States is not like South Korea. The chaebol is absolutely a one-handed society, maintaining basic unspoken rules, which is good for everyone.

Everything has just begun, Sheffield first temporarily converged his greed, using this term to wait and see, from now on he has let at least the history of the United States, there has been a tributary, but can the history be completely diverted, the torrent of torrents is completely unknown In the field of this, it is necessary to observe the aftereffect.

How to say, there is a chance when there is a crisis. After careful and thorough analysis, the slave owner feels that he has not shouted arrogantly, "who else", let the joint company continue from the political environment that is already conducive to his own Dormant, just like a crocodile lurking in the deep pool, first launch Dupont who has walked to the water's edge. Other things can be said.

The struggle was mostly implicit, and no one knew what had happened until the end. When publicly clamoring who else is there, that kind of situation is often already the end of the struggle, or the beginning of the war, is entirely a matter of another category.

All in all, with the long-term firm position of the Sheffield family, no matter what the results of this election are, the harvest is just beginning. After Sheffield returned to Edith Rockefeller ’s villa, she was eager to order the New York Times article to see what the newspaper said after the Republican defeat.

"Shocked, girls from well-known colleges never return home at night. This is the reason." After reading the headline of the New York Times on this day, Sheffield laughed and laughed at herself. I actually thought they had faces. The so-called public intellectuals in this world are all masters who saliva themselves after face-slapping. "

Just a few months ago, the New York Times still shouted for the Republican Party all the time, and now it is as quiet as a chicken, regaining its yellow joke.

In short, this time it was judged to determine the political landscape. The most divided election after the civil war has now been calm, but its influence has only just begun.
