: The fifty-eighth palm
Who makes Europe strong? Naturally, it can create a stereotype for people in other countries. This is nothing new. It is good for the United States to be able to fish for a cottage empire at the national level, and it is good for citizens to fool a person for more money. The imperial Russia and Russia, which are also in Europe, are more special, wandering forever whether they are Europeans.
Russia is really strong. Europeans think it is a member of Europe, and it is an inevitable and important part of maintaining order. If Russia is not so strong, Russians may become Asians at any time. It's so true to hold high and step down.
Even Rockefeller ’s elder sister loves to live the life of European nobles. The powerful influence of this country cannot be avoided by even the richest families in the United States, let alone ordinary people.
This is nothing new. In Hollywood movies, the yellow men are very reticent and have different opinions. In the hearts of the people of some republics, Southeast Asians will always be monkeys, let alone anyone, and there is only a gap between the strength of the country and its personal quality.
When leaving Rockefeller Manor, Rockefeller Jr. came out to say goodbye. Although the two did not finalize any specific cooperation at all, a good attitude is a good start. Besides, this is not because they touched their upper lips. What can be finalized involves the distribution of benefits in the future, as well as cooperation in any field and distance in any field, which requires a professional team of managers to finalize the details.
"You rich in the United States will really enjoy life!" After leaving Rockefeller Estate, Annie held Sheffield's arm, confused, "I came to the United States and saw the richest man in the United States one day, just like dreaming. Chicago has gone, what kind of city is Chicago, is it beautiful? "
"It's similar to the Ruhr area!" Sheffield glanced at the girl's pretty face and teased, "If you don't dislike the environment there, I can take you there."
Chicago is a leading region in the steel industry, machinery manufacturing, agricultural technology, trade, culture and education. Chicago's industry is dominated by steel, metal, food processing, electronics, petroleum processing, printing and transportation machinery and equipment industries, of which the steel industry occupies the first place in the United States.
These industries knew at a glance that most of them belonged to heavy pollution industries. Wudalian Lake was deeply affected by it, and the Mississippi River accumulated massive amounts of heavy metals. It was not until the Cold War that special treatment began. However, only some surface work can be done. The Wudalian Lake and the Mississippi River have long been dumped by industry for hundreds of years, resulting in accumulated sediments rich in heavy metals. This is how carp was introduced into the United States. The United States also counts on carp as Cleaners control pollution.
However, the brave became a dragon, so it was staged again and began to spread in North America.
Although Chicago is the steel center of the United States, the Wudalian Lake and the Mississippi River can also be used as a garbage dump. But it is not within Sheffield's itinerary. In the original intention of the persimmon to pick up the soft pinch, he will not conflict with this king or that king at this stage, but is ready to practice internal skills first, starting from the corner. , First clean up the miscellaneous fish, without the interference of other people trying to accumulate thin hair.
Even if it is developing with the aim of an industry giant, it will first develop from a small industry. Starting from the agriculture-related industries, it is of course very important to carry out cannibalization, but the foothold is still agricultural machinery.
Chicago actually has a very strong presence in the field of agricultural machinery, that is, Rockefeller ’s brother-in-law, an international harvester company that has been funded by Rockefeller.
The southern United States and plantation owners were reborn as ginners, and harvesters have made great progress in northern agriculture. At the time, the key to hindering the development of commercial agriculture south of the Ohio River was that a farmer could only harvest up to half an acre of wheat per day. The growth cycle of wheat is also very unfavorable to farmers. They may mature after two weeks, or they may ripen and fall to the ground all at once, and the ears will drop completely within two days. Farmers are plagued by harvesting work every year.
The harvester invented by Mr. McCormick is equipped with a ground wheel driven cutter, a reel and a fringe. It can not only cut the wheat, but also automatically arrange the cut wheat and pile it up neatly on the workbench at the back. The harvesting speed is three times faster than manual. Later McCormick came to Chicago. He built a factory in a place on the north bank of the Chicago River where railway transportation and water use were very convenient, and became a later international harvester company.
However, Sheffield does not need to cooperate with the other party, as long as the factory is built for production. The reason is very simple. The relevant patents of the harvester have long expired. You must know that it has been more than fifty years since the harvester appeared. It will protect such a long patent period.
Now Sheffield is still preparing to build on the core of the family, which is the agricultural issue. At the same time, this is the idea of a great agricultural empire that the Democratic Party has always advocated. This is inseparable from all kinds of agricultural machinery. The tractor is the most important machine among them.
Among the most unbreakable hegemons of the United States in the later generations, among the most unbreakable hegemony, the strong agricultural hegemony is even more stable than industry. With a huge population, agriculture can only guarantee self-sufficiency and cannot expect them to do more.
Russia is so sparsely populated and located in the cold zone that it cannot challenge the agriculture of the United States. As for Brazil? The industry in this country is too backward. Compared with the strong industry and agriculture in the United States, other countries are more or less sloppy.
Forty years ago, Alabart in France invented the first steam-powered tractor. The emergence of a miniaturized steam engine, which was installed on the chassis of the vehicle to drive the wheels, enabled it to drive agricultural machinery directly from the ground into the field, and this was the birth of the tractor.
As for tractors powered by internal combustion engines, which have only appeared for a few years, it is not too late for Sheffield to enter this field. Moreover, he has German patents for internal combustion engines. In terms of geography, there is oil in Texas. There is no need to worry about technology and fuel. With the assistance of Rockefeller, he is very sure to crush his opponent.
After entering Texas, the huge livestock and endless grassland and farmland attracted Anne's eyes, and could not help sighing, "It's so beautiful."
"Of course, I am a farmer's child!" Sheffield said very complacently, "I want to solve the problem of eating for the people of the United States!"
