Chapter 55: Olive branch
Sheffield was straightforward, he was already the victim, and the export of British agricultural products was indeed sanctioned. Isn't this a sacrifice for the country? The loss of agricultural products in my family is so great, a group of Yangji talents have suffered such a small loss, and they are crying from the sky. What is this? You are poor, you are reasonable, and you are not starving.
"I naturally know about the loss of the Sheffield family through Anglo American, but through Deutsche Petroleum, I also know that the Sheffield family successfully opened the door to the German market and has a long-term cooperative relationship." Rockefeller Jr. If I hadn't done international trade, I almost believed it.
There is no shortage of food suppliers in the British Empire. The German Empire is the real leader in agriculture. The food self-sufficiency rate has not been very good. Although it seems that the number is about the same, there are actually fewer competitors. In the British agricultural market, the Sheffield family also had to compete with Latin American countries and the colonies of the British Empire.
The German Empire did not have many colonies at all, and turned out to rely on the Imperial Russia to solve the food problem. There are fewer competitors to compete, and this is the biggest benefit from Rockefeller Jr. To know who founded the first trust in the United States, Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil, was his father. He knows better than anyone, how good the days are when competitors are scarce.
This set of Sheffield family's heavy losses due to sanctions, combined with the current international situation, can indeed deceive some companies that eat melons and even have no connection with international trade. But this should not be used as an excuse to confuse yourself. Standard Oil is also the existence of rushing out of the Americas and out of the world. The heir to the Sheffield family is too dishonest.
"It can't be said, who doesn't want to continue to do business with long-standing partners, business development in Germany still needs time, and time is the greatest wealth." Although the lies were exposed on the spot, Sheffield did not have a trace Shameful, how could he such a white-hearted **** have that kind of thing, "I think Mr. Rockefeller is definitely not talking about the price of agricultural products with me. Even if it is to talk about it, I still have the same attitude. The rise is also because the dealers in the north are driving up prices, and now it is also because exports are blocked. My family, Texas and even the entire south are victims. This accusation is unjustified. It is the British ’s fault. "
Sheffield now knows why he lost Britain ’s export share, and Galeries Lafayette is not in a hurry. It turned out to be this idea, taking advantage of the tension in the relationship with Britain now, and turning the gun to clean up the grain suppliers in the north. The outside world is covered by the international situation, and the inside is supported by strength, which squeezes the peasants from the north into bankruptcy.
But obviously, either this is not the first time to use it, or the top elites of the United States are very smart, and have already seen this hand, since the Rockefeller family can find it, other families will also find this.
Now Rockefeller Jr. mentioned this thing to elicit other problems. Thinking of this Sheffield's indifference, he reached over and held Anne's prime hand and put a deaf ear to the rest.
"Unsurprisingly, this time the food fluctuations will spread to the end of the year, if greedy, it may have an impact on next year!" Rockefeller Jr. gave his own judgment.
"No, no!" Sheffield smiled dryly, "It's not good to eat food for a long time. It's not oil and coal. It doesn't matter how long it takes to find a place."
"Neither oil nor coal can be left for too long, the oil will evaporate, and the coal will be weathered. And not all agricultural products can not be held, and it is not a problem to put food for a year or two." Rockefeller Jr. extended his finger and shook, "The whole Citizens of the United States, whether they eat or not depends on your mood. It turned out that my father said that your family likes to make money from individuals, such as selling labor on both sides of the Atlantic in the early years. "
"At least my family does not provide labor efficiency for workers to take drugs!" Sheffield teased with sarcasm.
"Actually, you didn't know that before the Civil War, the biggest drug dealer in the United States was your home. How many northern worker's homes were destroyed?" Rockefeller Jr. was sitting in danger and talking slowly. "I don't believe Master William can go home and ask. What kind of things are planted in the endless plantation? Where did the salaries of the current black gold staff come from the slave hunters? "
Has this happened? Sheffield still heard it for the first time, but Rockefeller Jr. also said that it was before the Civil War, who did n’t do a little shady thing when he started? "That's all before. When anyone started from scratch, didn't they bear a little notoriety? Isn't Mr. Rockefeller the object of the newspaper's criticism?"
Is this a bit of black history? Compared with the heirs in front of him, Rockefeller Jr. said that his family's history of struggle can be described by angelic purity. Did n’t it just crush thousands of oil workshops and not sell you as slaves?
"Stop!" Sheffield reached out and stopped. "Now there are foreign friends in the living room. The history of the hard work of our domestic entrepreneurs, don't go into details." Do you expose each other?
Annie gave Sheffield a blank look, made an incomprehensible look, and moved her **** to get up. "I want to visit the manor! Don't you know?"
Rockefeller Jr. called his servant to take Anne out and applauded, "Is Master William ready to get married? A very suitable hostess!"
"I'm sixteen this year!" Sheffield shook his head tiredly. "Can you tell me the purpose directly? Even if it's a condom, it's been a long time."
"Since Master William wants to go straight to the subject, I also have my own suggestions. Please listen to it first!" Rockefeller Jr. smiled. "In fact, the manager of Standard Oil had visited Arlington at the beginning of the year and proposed that he wanted to be in Dexa. Prospecting. But Mrs. Anna said that heirs at home could discuss this matter. At that time I had not entered the company and you did not graduate from college, this matter was delayed. Now you have started to go to Europe to discuss business, and My father is planning to retire next year. In fact, the cooperation between the two parties can already be discussed. "
"Cooperation?" Sheffield's eyes flashed with reflection, and she was really thinking about Rockefeller's proposal. If there is to be an ally, Rockefeller is really a suitable partner.
This is undoubtedly, how many people can refuse to cooperate with the richest man in the United States? And with Rockefeller's strength, cooperation can reduce many constraints, and there is no reason to refuse.
"Business is not a war, you win and I lose, and business can be a win-win situation!" Rockefeller Jr. saw Sheffield in hesitation, adding more quickly.
"With a partner like Rockefeller, how many people would refuse?" Sheffield sighed heartily, but the words changed, "But there are many details, not the two of us can finalize, John you should know, this involves a lot thing."
