Chapter 521: An old case
The problem of railway freight is usually the one with the highest price. If the capacity cannot be adjusted due to heavy traffic, this is also very normal. I believe that enterprises of this size understand this very well, under the market economy. Normal behavior should not be blamed.
For Delaware, the most important transportation route will definitely pass through Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It happens that this is where the Rockefeller family has a huge influence. Pennsylvania is the cradle of the wealthy in the United States, and New Jersey and New York are the home bases of many large corporations.
Because of this foundation, when the DuPont family was to be cleaned up, the Rockefeller family set up seven factories in New Jersey within a year, and controlled the transportation of raw materials along the railway line, which was almost the pinch of the Delaware economic lifeline. Neck layout.
Now this foundation is in the hands of Sheffield. At that time, the layout of the Rockefeller family would become a convenience for him to implement the plan. Even Sheffield made a phone call with the Vanderbilt family. The thin and dead camel was bigger than the horse. The De Bilt family has been on the ground for a long time, but after all, the foundation is too thick, and it has a huge influence on the railway system, especially the northeastern railway system with New York as the core.
From many domestic raw materials that are far away from Delaware, to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, near Dupont's base camp, Sheffield is like an old man far away in Paris, almost turning the phone book into smoke. Whether it is useful or useless, I will call it first.
The factory in New Jersey is in a busy scene, which has alarmed the little Rockefeller at Rockefeller Estate. These factories were originally owned by the Rockefeller family, and he certainly knew what was going on.
Referring to the recent investigation of DuPont by the Ministry of Justice, Rockefeller Jr. didn't understand why Sheffield was in trouble.
"It seems that you are still the one to say what you need to do. Sooner or later, you still have to separate from Dupont. Who is the winner." Rockefeller Jr.'s voice on the phone was very stable, "all ready."
"Delaware's big booger, can the local maintain DuPont's operation? Unless their family is farming." Sheffield smiled, "This state is a hundred times smaller than Texas. Without the administrative area of Arlington, would you say I care about him? "
“It ’s also a small state, and I heard that the Delaware court has prepared a lawsuit against United. Once the case law appears, it will be a very troublesome thing.” Rockefeller Jr. did not mention the final result, and the result does not need to be predicted. He also believes that in the Delaware lawsuit, the DuPont family will definitely win.
Now Rockefeller Jr. wants to know, how to deal with this lawsuit joint company? He thought of the most extreme result, that the Sheffield strongman broke his wrist and abandoned the related business of the joint company in exchange for the annihilation of the DuPont family.
As far as the joint company and DuPont are concerned, the joint company is certainly far above this enemy. If Sheffield cuts out, the business of some industries is damaged, and the important lifeblood of the DuPont family is exchanged.
Little Rockefeller believed that Sheffield could do it. In the previous financial crisis, he had already seen the slave owner perform seven wounded punches, rather than letting his opponents hold back without making money.
"Of course I can accept this result, but isn't it?" Sheffield sold a pass. "Maybe there is a better way. This person is naturally out of the question. After all, the Dupont family is extraordinary. Making money in exchange for losing money, and losing money in exchange for bankruptcy, what ca n’t be done, I ’m not interested in money, but just more interested in spending money. But if you do n’t do this, who would be mad at the dollar. "
"It seems that you should have some ideas, I don't ask, anyway, what will happen will definitely happen." Rockefeller Jr. stopped here, and the provincial question was detailed. Once Sheffield was in trouble, he doubted himself again. What can't be done if it is a species that does not deviate from animalism?
"Maybe this is life. Sometimes this happens." Sheffield chuckled, "As a law-abiding citizen, I firmly believe that in this world, you can do whatever you want with money."
Packing up the DuPont family, this goal has never changed. A recent call from Arlington, Anne means that the grandmother takes the current situation very seriously and looks forward to a good result. It's like two hundred tons of Jinshan telling himself that in this case, as a filial son and grandson, the slave owner can't ignore it.
It is certainly a good way to intercept step by step through the transportation network, even if it is only done in the country, Sheffield feels that it is not enough, and find a way to block the Delaware port. But this is not a problem that a businessman can solve. In an environment where the state power and sovereignty of the United States are always diametrically opposed, the Governor of Delaware followed the example of the New York Governor who threatened the President a hundred years later, indicating that this is a declaration of war against Delaware. possible.
Similarly, this kind of strangulation of the transportation network will not have an immediate effect. The United States has its own national conditions, and it is impossible to be as blatant as other countries.
However, there is still much room for operation in matters of sovereignty and state power. Since the Democratic Party is already a ruling party rather than an opposition party, the original idea of asserting that state power is greater than sovereignty is invalidated. If the **** changes, the thinking must also change.
I believe that the Ministry of Justice should have a preliminary plan. Sheffield, who hung up the phone, stretched out a lazy waist. "The sacred law will always give justice to such honest people."
The law still has to be obeyed, but the Dupont family cannot file a lawsuit in Delaware. Sheffield also filed a lawsuit against the Dupont family in Texas. If this is the case, it is not a countermeasure at all, it should be called worse than bad. More appropriate.
In many cases, this is a worse world, and it has become Sheffield ’s mantra, but this is premised. When faced with a powerful enemy, this mantra is established, but it cannot be done if it has an advantage. The Republic is against the United States because the United States is indeed a powerful enemy.
But will the Republic bite Hindustan tightly? Not at all. Bibi can't follow the worse than himself.
The countermeasures mentioned by the slave owners were in the federal courts, not in the Texas courts. The state of Biturahua, Texas was a hundred times larger and the population was more than eight times larger than the other, but the two sides were indeed of the same level. Administrative area. This is of course unfair, so let the unfairness be more violent.
The Washington Department of Justice has disappeared in public again since Olney showed up in Congress. To the MP or himself, it seems a little abrupt.
The Federal Ministry of Justice does not think so. The investigators of the Ministry of Justice only saw Olney and the assistant attorneys in a hurry to study something. The antitrust director always stayed with Olney. This obviously tells others that investigations into the antitrust laws of the DuPont family are still in full swing.
"With regard to investigating the DuPont family's penetration of the Delaware state government, there should be an immediate result." Olney said in his office to the newly appointed antitrust director Pete and the taxation director John Gress. "You have to pay more attention to the tax issues of the DuPont family. There has never been a company that has penetrated the state government so seriously that the DuPont family has obviously gone too far. This situation cannot continue."
"Minister, Delaware has a small area and a small population. It can be said that the largest city occupies a large proportion of the state ’s population. These people rely on the DuPont family business. From these data, this is indeed very worrying. Things, "Pete, the antitrust director, embarrassed." Any investigation of the DuPont family without passing the state government will cause great difficulties, but if we have made up our minds, we will not pass the state of Delaware. The government may cause controversy in Congress. "
Controversy is naturally an old-fashioned issue, the multiple choice question of state power and sovereignty. This multiple choice question has not been understood since the establishment of the United States for more than 100 years.
The Attorney General, the Antitrust Director, and the Tax Director have already reached a consensus on this issue. It is almost impossible to impose sanctions on the DuPont family without alarming the Delaware state government. If this is done forcibly, it will only cause a problem that has never been solved to surface again.
While this time the communication was standing still, the Assistant Attorney General opened the door of the office, took out the latest investigation report, and said, "This is the latest investigation report."
Olney's eyes lit up, and he quickly opened the investigation report, which was about the DuPont family's many concessions for large enterprises, even manipulating the state constitutional meeting and amending the state constitution. The new constitution grants large enterprises the privilege of paying taxes, and also gives a green light to the establishment of large-scale joint stock companies.
In fact, this is an old case. This is the tax cut bill that Sheffield praised the original Dupont family, which was followed by Reagan and real estate merchants. It is the case of the Delaware State Assembly to amend the Constitution to support DuPont family and alliance enterprises.
Now after ten years, it is finally placed on Olney's desk. Is this investigation report useful? It can be useful or useless, the key is to see who is holding this investigation report, and Olney doubled through the treasures, "This is a shocking ** case . "
