Chapter 515: New Minister of Justice
In New Orleans, Anne convened a shareholder meeting of the United Grain Company, and laid out a contract for the reserve grain brought back from Germany, which caused a sensation.
Why was n’t Sheffield holding the shareholders ’meeting? This is a very good question. In the face of Evelyn ’s doubts, Sheffield laughed and laughed," Because I am a tool man, our family is all housekeepers of women. I envy her. In the future, you also have industry to manage. I just accumulated as much wealth as possible and distributed it to your children. "
The tariff dispute has ended, of course, it is a gratifying good thing, to celebrate, Sheffield has its own way.
From the beginning to the end, Sheffield felt that the reduction of tariffs was not a bad thing. So I felt that it was not because of standing and speaking without backache. Everyone knows that the products of the United States in this era have the influence of Soviet industrial products not less than 50 years later. Anyone mentioned shaking their heads, can this product be sold? If you ca n’t afford foreign goods, who will buy your stuff?
What is the reason? Sheffield feels that the major trusts have occupied the market, but there is no external threat. They can lie down and feed the **** to the citizens. Who will choose to work hard to make cakes? In essence, the overprotection in the United States is the same as that of the Soviets and the Republic for some time, even if the system is different. Without foreign competition, domestic companies are used to making money.
While Sheffield was lying on the recliner and corpse, Anne had already completed this united shareholder meeting, which convinced the shareholders of United Grain Company to come over and talk to her husband.
Anne, who knows how to get her husband ’s attention, said, “Many shareholders are happy and broken. On the contrary, at this time, Yang Ji ’s popularity is also jumping. It is over when lying down to make money.”
"It's okay if their companies are eliminated without competitiveness. Is it true that high-tariff protection industries have finally protected a shit? After a long period of high tariffs, if so many domestic trust companies can't compete but European companies across the Atlantic, Is n’t that very sad? In the long run, companies left after competition are good for the country. "
"But as you said, who would really face the competition?" Anne reached out to support the group, her buttocks was supported by a beautiful arc, sitting directly on the recliner leaning against her husband's body, " Everyone is pursuing a monopoly. "
"Citizens have realized the disadvantages of monopoly and are very dissatisfied with trusts, so it is a very correct decision to talk about anti-trust and tariff reduction. Although these are two problems, we can treat it as a problem." Touching his wife's waist, Sheffield said, "Citizens like a competitive environment, and now this competitive environment is here, and even allow European companies to come and compete, how good."
Now who is opposed to lowering tariffs, who is the spokesperson for trust companies, this is the environment Sheffield wants to shape. It is of course important to protect domestic enterprises, but citizens need a level playing field rather than being fed unilaterally.
Only truly powerful companies should be supported by citizens. Sheffield feels that the joint company is very suitable for this supported concept. He feels that his company can definitely withstand this round of foreign capital impact.
Fifty years before the advent of the transoceanic phone call, Sheffield can only share joy with the German allies through the telegraph. Although there is no atmosphere to use the telegraph contact, he can also feel Germany from the clues of the telegraph The excitement of the enterprise.
As for the screams of the United States that seemed to have collapsed, it was not heard. How can the question of tariffs be so simple? No one knows the specific standards are good. Sheffield didn't know it, but he knew that even if there was a negative impact, the damage to the United States would be too late, and it would be a few years before the war broke out in Europe.
The United States is not an agricultural country, but has reached the world's first industrial country in terms of scale. Even if there are some gaps in quality, it will not be defeated. It is absolutely impossible for at least ten years. Can Europe last ten years?
If the rulers of all countries know that the brutality of the war can be avoided, the problem is that all countries think that they are strong and the other is a weak chicken. If they all think so, war will definitely come.
In economics, this unpredictable sudden event is called the black swan, and for Sheffield, it can be anything. Anyway, there is no harm to himself, he is optimistic about what happened.
The federal government still gave domestic companies three months to prepare, which can be said to be very kind.
In New York, Houston and New Orleans, the expansion of the port has already begun, and the Houston Shipyard is also busy. The shipbuilding base of the United Company has no military accumulation. However, it is no worse than other well-known shipyards in civil shipbuilding. At the critical moment, it is still its own industry that can be used with confidence. The most important thing is to save money.
The attorney general recommended by Alton Parker turned out to be an acquaintance, that is, Secretary of State Olney under the Cleveland presidency twelve years ago. The Ministry of Justice is special in the United States. The only chief executive in the cabinet who does not use the title of minister is its official name. Is the General Counsel or the General Counsel. The Minister of Justice is also the Attorney General of the United States.
Mr. Olney is a standard Democratic hard-line and has a conservative mind. After knowing that this person is the Minister of Justice, Sheffield shook his head slightly. This appointment is more like a counterattack.
Olney is not just confronting the British in the Venezuelan crisis. After the bloodless "revolution" in Hawaii, the federal government is satisfied, but thinks it is not the time to merge and mature. Olney expressed this. Different views hold that this incident should be supported, or the perpetrators of this incident should be protected.
Such a return to the federal government shows that Alton Parker ’s support for antitrust laws is more than just talk. It is absolutely necessary to show that the actual action will come soon.
"I don't know when it will bear fruit? Mr. Olney is really looking forward to returning to the federal government." Sheffield flexibly squeezed his wrist glass, "I can't wait to see the Justice Department preside over justice. . "
As I said before, whether I like the antitrust law or not, I mainly look at who the bill is against. If it does not come against the joint company, Sheffield is definitely in favor of the establishment of domestic fairness and the legal system.
The antitrust law, which was annoying when I remembered it during the Republican Party, turned out to be a kind of political environment, which made people feel very kind. What the villain was saying was the current slave owner.
This disgusting look just happened to be seen by Edith Rockefeller at the door, and said yin and yang, "You are happy now, almost every one is the change you want to appear."
"I ca n’t say that. It ’s the change that citizens want. I ’m also a legitimate citizen of the United States. Is n’t my opinion a citizen ’s opinion? I ’m a farmer. Most states in the United States are mainly agricultural, so I It ’s perfectly normal to represent them. ”Sheffield reached out and patted on the sofa next to him, motioning to Edith Rockefeller to sit beside him.
After Edith Rockefeller sat down, Sheffield directly lay down and her head was resting on the woman's thigh. This was the feeling. It was too comfortable. "Is there some noise, or you wouldn't say that."
"You definitely don't want to listen!" Edith Rockefeller moved the slave owner's head with a snigger, lowering his head with his hair, stirring the man's pierced ears.
"Don't say that." Sheffield closed his eyes comfortably, but he was a person without curiosity. It is not easy to make such remarks in front of him.
"You're such a bad thing." Edith Rockefeller's mouth was discouraged, and he didn't know how to accommodate himself.
What are the reasons for the old husband and wife to make up for it? Some companies think that the reduction of tariffs is unreasonable, and they hope to live in the former siege. If foreign companies can not come in, is it not beautiful for everyone to lie and make money? Then, under the guise of protecting national enterprises, I hope the federal government will consider the employment rate.
Hearing Edith Rockefeller say this, Sheffield's expression was unpredictable and lazily said, "Your brother's Standard Oil and my joint company do not belong to their kind of lifeless enterprise. On the contrary, we Even the tariffs of various countries need to be lowered to facilitate us to enter the city, and the scale of our company, the domestic is not enough to make us a higher level, let more people under our influence, it is what we should do Thing. "
"Can't accommodate them and affect our own development and growth." Sheffield changed a posture and clearly felt the magnificence of Edith Rockefeller. His face was bearing the unbearable weight of life.
Anyway, the federal government has now decided to reduce tariffs, and some minor noise has no effect on Washington. Everyone is still working step by step, even harder than before the change.
There is a rumor that news has begun to circulate that President Alton Parker seems to clean up the civil service system to see if there are too many partisan-prone civil servants within the federal government.
When the news came, many people heard that when he was young, President Cleveland expelled the merits of 200,000 civil servants in one breath. Many people felt that heavy work was a good thing, and they were full of unprecedented energy. The spirit of capitalist mastermind was equally shocking.
Olney, who is the Minister of Justice, came to the Ministry of Justice and was also infected by this efficient and exciting working atmosphere. I dare not think that what I saw was real.
