Chapter 75: Patriotic business
Sheffield does not deny that there are naturally good people in this world, but the Rockefeller family that established the standard oil trust is definitely not among them. Will good people engage in monopolies? Is it good to be chased by a group of reporters to dig up the news every day?
"A donation to the University of Atlanta is more than ten million dollars. It's a big deal. But you can benefit Atlanta. How many Atlantas are there in the United States? Do you donate so much money each? I think the Rockefeller family will do it if they have more money. Can't you? "Sheffield's tone was full of teasing, three words without money, and the smell of copper was disgusting.
"After all, our company is not like your family. There is no listed company at all. The financing is not in the country. No one knows how much money your family has. And it also shaped the role of a Dixie national hero." Rockefeller Jr. cut Suddenly, there was envy, jealousy and hatred in the words. Obviously in front of Sheffield, he did n’t care whether anyone set up or not. It was frankly admitting that charity is to improve the reputation of the family, but want to demolish the standard oil Totally impossible.
What aspects can scrutinize public opinion and what must regard public opinion as fart. Rockefeller Jr. knows this very well. He is not unable to pay, but he must not give up the operation mode of trust.
He took out the reputation of buying a little loose and broken silver, and digging out the foundations for gathering wealth, whichever is more important, even if he has not officially taken over standard oil, he understands the difference.
"So? At present there is a good chance that we can save money and get a huge reputation, which is more useful than donating for charity. If you are not my closest friend and a long-term partner in the future, I will not tell at all You, Tian Tian ’s reputation will be taken by me alone! ”Sheffield sold a pass, and he believed Rockefeller Jr. was absolutely interested.
"What the **** is that?" Rockefeller Jr. was of course interested and asked, eagerly speaking.
"Do you care about sports?" Seeing Rockefeller Jr. nodded inexplicably, but didn't care about the look on the face, Sheffield knew that the other was lying, but actually didn't care at all, so she explained, "Annie took a few days ago When I arrived at a telegram, it was said that a nobleman named Coubertin in Paris would come to the United States. This man is an activist who revives the Olympic Movement and is considered to be an influential figure in his field. "
"Is this aristocrat very rich?" Rockefeller Jr. asked solemnly. He just thought this man was rich, otherwise how could he think of doing such a boring thing.
"He doesn't have the problem of money, he is the kind that is rare ..." Rockefeller Jr. directly choked Sheffield. The two were not in a channel at all.
However, Rockefeller Jr.'s ideas are not wrong in this era. Nowadays, Coubertin is really in the eyes of many people. It is Tang Jidi in the field of sports. This feat was once a target of satire when the Olympics was created.
The first Olympics will not be held until next year. For the current people, the Olympics are still a mirror of the waters and moons. You ca n’t see nothing. Let ’s blow the loan first.
After a big lip, Sheffield let Rockefeller Jr. understand his intentions and raised little interest in this thing called the Olympics, but he still doubted, "Is this useful?"
"You think about it, Coubertin was French. The Olympics he organized must have many athletes from European countries. Then our athletes in the United States defeated the Europeans on the field. Is n’t this very exciting? At that time, we will use some newspapers in the country to encourage people to think that athletes are to win glory for the country, and then you and me as the main sponsors of athletes to win glory for the country, can naturally surface. This is no less than you. A million-dollar donation is more economical? And the Olympics will definitely not be held once, and every time it is held in the future, citizens will remember your contribution! "Sheffield said eloquently, if you were not my partner , I will not tell you the posture at all.
"But is it useful? In foreign competitions, can it attract such great attention?" Rockefeller Jr. didn't believe Sheffield's judgment very much. Of course, sponsorship was not a problem. Even if he was not interested, it would cost him to establish a relationship with the Sheffield family. It also belongs to the small change category.
"Do you think that the newspaper will only care about you being strong? What about **** college girls?" Sheffield sneered.
"You have to talk about evidence. I haven't done it like that." Rockefeller Jr. had just exploded. Where did Sheffield hear about it? It doesn't matter. What matters is that he hasn't done it. There are still many bodyguards around, and if it is passed out, it will not be clean if it jumps into the Mississippi River.
"I'll just say that you haven't done this, can you guarantee that other rich people haven't done this? We are so rich, is it because God looks at us as saints and gives extra care?" Sheffield gestured to be restless, just to give an example.
The education costs of universities in the United States in the later generations are enough to make ordinary families unaffordable, so many people with white skin and long legs choose to find a sponsor to help them complete their studies. This matter is not a secret thing. Every country exists, but the United States has formed an industrial chain.
As for the real wealthy class, they are born with money, like to find excitement, a little special hobby or something, Sheffield can fully understand that even if they like to kill, that is the freedom of others.
"Actually, from the protests in the newspapers everywhere, we know that citizens are patriotic. I can't think of a more rewarding business than patriotism!" Sheffield continued to appease Rockefeller Jr., "Our economy is always The amount is enough, but there is not enough military power, so it is still being humiliated by the British. Citizens also need a catharsis point. When the citizens know that the athletes defeated the Europeans in the European territory, you think about it, that scene Will it be more sensation than the protest newspapers everywhere are talking to the British, you taste, you taste! "
"Patriotic business?" If Rockefeller Jr. regarded all Sheffield's words as fart, he was successfully impressed by the phrase "Patriotic Business" and nodded gently, "Then try!"
"Now I have only one small question!" Sheffield asked a little shyly and vaguely, "Is there any medicine in your medical laboratory that will allow athletes to achieve good results?"
Rockefeller Jr. straightened his waist rod unconsciously, and said with a cold look, "Yes!"
