Chapter 57: Outside ninja
"I personally agree with this very much. You and I joined forces. I dare not say that there is no opponent in the United States, but there are not many people who can be called opponents!" Sheffield agreed very much. "And I have a comparison now. A suitable opportunity can prove the sincerity of your cooperation through a full cooperation. A good starting foundation can play a great role in our cooperation and show the sincerity of both parties. "
"Trust is more important than anything!" Rockefeller Jr. said punitively. "Actually, I really need something from the Sheffield family. Know that the federal government is always in trouble with our family. Can it be temporarily End the investigation of the trust? "
"It's easy to terminate this investigation, but it will come sooner or later, but of course the two sides can cooperate at this point." Sheffield nodded, saying that the two sides agreed, and pondered, "At least you can leave more ample preparation time. At least in this administration, it is easy to prevent it from continuing to investigate. When it comes to the law, I actually have something that needs your help, which is also a legal issue.
The antitrust law is actually called the antitrust law, and it has actually appeared in juveniles. It was promulgated five years ago. This time is exactly the time when Rockefeller Standard Oil expanded vigorously. It can be said that this law is directed against Rockefeller from the beginning. Here.
Rockefeller's development has been threatened by antitrust laws a few years ago. However, Sheffield knows that this law is actually not enough to be a big threat. It still has many loopholes and needs more clear provisions to supplement it.
"You can say it and listen!" Rockefeller Jr. said sternly, listening to him.
"In various European countries, I got a lot of authorized patents!" Sheffield said eloquently, "At this point, the domestic industry is fiercely competitive, and the threshold for opening factories is not high. It can be said that there are new companies every day. Established, and we do n’t know which of these companies will not last for too long, and which one will become our competitor. Now we must raise this threshold and reduce the number of competitors. This is not impossible, we need to pay more attention to knowledge Property rights, the importance of patents should also be increased. "
Sheffield wanted to clear the field with a big stick of patents. It was not a day or two long ago. This was his main purpose of going to Europe, but it was not easy. If you only rely on the energy of your home, or the strength of a certain party, the failure may be very large.
After all, although deeply tied to the Democratic Party, the Sheffield family has not yet had the energy to make the Democratic Party a dog. If the new patent law is to appear successfully, it is bound to contact a wide range of alliances and increase its own strength. Forming a joint effort to jointly promote the implementation of the bill is not a problem that can be solved by a company.
Even Rockefeller and Sheffield promoted at the same time, still can't ensure that they are foolproof, it is best to pull in more partners. Now it is almost time to show the unity of the capitalists. Compared with the unity of the proletariat, the unity between the capitalists is easier, and the minority is always easy to hold together.
"We respect intellectual property rights and we are consolidating our own advantages. The passage of this bill is no less significant than the anti-trust act." Sheffield stated his purpose and put the new patent law and anti-Rockefeller trouble. The trust law is compared to show that this is good for everyone.
"The new patent bill may cause great controversy!" Rockefeller Jr. hesitated a little. Isn't this hesitation how much he cherishes the domestic competitive environment in the United States? Does it like to organize trusts? He can't wait for all competitors to see God! The controversy he said was that it might cause a very fierce counterattack.
Rockefeller Jr. understands that many companies in the United States rely on copying European patents to survive. There are not only many such enterprises, but also many. Once the new patent bill is discussed, it will inevitably stir up thousands of waves, and many companies that make a living will jump out and obstruct.
Like seeing the hesitation of Rockefeller Jr., Sheffield said unhurriedly, "So before that, you must go through extensive alliances and make all the preparations to make the bill a one-time pass. It cannot be too much discussion. In fact, you can think about it, there are not many domestic companies that can have international competitiveness. Standard Oil is definitely one. There are no more patents related to the petroleum industry than standard oil. I said you also understand. "
Once the new patent law is implemented, not only will it not be a disadvantage for the giant such as Standard Oil, but it will have the effect of consolidating its position. The disadvantages are temporarily not available, and the benefits are obvious.
"Of course I'm fine, but I have to discuss it with my father." Rockefeller Jr. said that he agreed in principle, but he had to get old Rockefeller's approval before he could agree.
In a sense, the two parties we met today are actually very similar. Both the family's controllers are giving way to let the heir run the company. Rockefeller Jr. and Sheffield both have the meaning of a prince to supervise the country, but there is a good saying, I will not die for a day, you will always be a prince.
Just as everything Sheffield does needs to be reported to Galeries Lafayette, Rockefeller Jr. must also consult with Rockefeller in real time, especially this kind of major event involving future planning can't be sloppy.
Even if the two agree, in the event of joining forces with other supporting companies to form a joint force, the two heirs will not have such a big face, but will also need to come forward to operate the network.
This meeting of the two heirs completely interpreted the ugly face of their own class. There is a striking consensus on the antitrust law and the new patent law. This made Anne, who had just arrived in the United States, have a new understanding of the American business class. It seems that the world is the same. The conduct of American businessmen is not under my Grand France.
"I thought Americans are the kind. Although they have no culture, they are very honest in the world." Anne, who was shocked by Sanguan, murmured to herself.
"Convergence at the international level does not delay this at home!" The old **** of Sheffield said. If it were not for the United States of America in the eyes of a powerful European country, it would now be a little brother. Will the merchants of the United States endure internal cruelty? Not at all. You do n’t have so many scruples in Latin America. After all, the international status has not reached that point.
Now the United States is a younger brother in the world. Businessmen in Europe naturally have to live with their tails in their tails. This is the case for those who let Europe set up for the United States.
