Chapter 265 Vanderbilt's Help
"I agree!" Sheffield looked at the furnishings of the villa. In fact, he was not complimenting the villa for its grandness. The members of this generation of the Vanderbilt family made great contributions to the urban construction of New York.
Dozens of buildings and countless apartments can prove this, and Vanderbilt II has every reason to be proud of this, because the first and second generation leaders have left such a rich fortune.
Vanderbilt II was very pleased with Sheffield's positive comments. He began by introducing the layout, materials and treasures of Bilmore Manor, which fully displayed its luxury.
"Mr. Vanderbilt, there's actually no need to be so troublesome." Sheffield had to ask the other party to stop. The descendant of the railroad king must have made a mistake. He didn't come here to learn how to show off his wealth, and he didn't mean to turn his home into a golden house. He just wanted to take advantage of the Vanderbilt family's connections in the field of architecture.
He came here to look for construction companies in the country's largest city. Since the Vanderbilt family was constantly building properties, they must have connections in this field. As for spending more than 10 million US dollars to build a house for himself, he was not interested in that.
"Oh, it seems I misunderstood you, but it's not right to always chase money without enjoying life." Vanderbilt II stretched out his finger and shook it. "This villa was designed by a French designer, and it uses the best materials. By the way, William, your woman is a French aristocrat. We can talk about this topic."
"Yeah! Yes, yeah!" Sheffield gave a wry smile, feeling a faint tingling pain under his armpit. In his heart, he thanked Vanderbilt II's ancestors for eight generations. He was talking about things that were irrelevant. Even Natalia behind him was angry.
It took a while to get the topic on track, and to get Vanderbilt II, the typical representative of the United States' admiration for Europe and foreigners, to change the topic from how artistic France was and how great the value for money was, to the construction of general apartments. Sheffield felt so tired and sighed, "France is not really that good?"
"Not so good? You should take a look at the municipal construction in Paris. The layout is so pleasant. And take a look at New York? Even a hundred years from now, New York won't be able to catch up with a single ditch in Paris." Vanderbilt II sneered. His serious look made Sheffield grin secretly. Was the descendant of the railway king serious? Or was he kidding him?
Vanderbilt II is probably a typical representative who does not believe that the United States can surpass the European powers. In fact, a large number of wealthy people in the United States are like this, and they are proud of marrying with European impoverished nobles. They are very satisfied with the current development of the United States and do not think it can be further improved.
What is the American Century? It is nothing but a trick by politicians to fool ordinary citizens. Who among the truly intelligent people would believe it?
"Paris is indeed a very good city, so when planning New Orleans, we naturally have to refer to Paris and plan a garden city." Sheffield did not refute Vanderbilt II. It was the other person's freedom to think whatever he wanted. If he refuted it now, it might cause a dispute.
If you don't agree with my values, just don't talk about the things here. Sheffield has seen people like Vanderbilt II before. In fact, Edith Rockefeller was the same, but her worship of Europe and foreigners was not as serious as his.
With such a good attitude, Vanderbilt II was naturally willing to help and expressed his desire to hold a cocktail party to help Sheffield invite New York's construction giants to jointly plan the development of New Orleans.
"No need for a cocktail party, right?" Sheffield glanced at Vanderbilt II. It was obvious that the other party was taking the opportunity to show off his wealth and was not trying to help him at all. The evaluation of major companies on the third generation members of the railroad tycoon was obvious to all, and the opinions were surprisingly consistent.
"It doesn't matter. Since we have to do something, we must do it to the best of our ability!" Vanderbilt II looked like he had everything on his shoulders. He changed the subject and said, "Besides, the beautiful lady next to William also needs to participate in more occasions like this. There will definitely be many similar occasions in the future. Get used to them first!"
Sheffield looked back at Natalia, accurately receiving the girl's eager gaze, and said helplessly, "Okay, I will remember this favor. If you need help one day, just ask, provided you have the foundation."
"You seem to have a prejudice against this person!" Natalia was very smart and could clearly sense Sheffield's perfunctory attitude. She waited until no one was around and quietly asked, "Do you have a grudge against each other? How about we go?"
"Have a grudge? Not really!" Sheffield laughed, hugged the little girl and whispered, "I just don't like his lifestyle. No matter how rich he is, he can't live like this. This is an act that doesn't consider the future. For the sake of my descendants, I absolutely can't live like this. Money is mine only when it's in my hands."
"Who will give birth to your child?" Natalia pouted and said proudly, "You always want to take advantage of me, I can't let you suffer any loss."
The grand cocktail party at Bilmore Manor attracted managers from major construction companies in New York. From this perspective, Sheffield had to accept Vanderbilt's kindness. It was also because of this cocktail party that he was able to get to know all the talents he needed so quickly.
The United States, which entered the new century, was also in a period of prosperity, and the same was true for the real estate development that followed. At least in several major cities, real estate was in full swing. For major construction companies, New York was the most competitive place. There were so many competitors, and not all of them were as generous as the Vanderbilt family, so the competition was still very fierce.
"William, does this look good on me?" In order to attend tonight's party, Natalia was working hard in front of the fitting mirror, trying on clothes one after another, and never getting tired of it. Sheffield was giving her advice beside her, feeling overwhelmed, but still had to pretend to be appreciating them carefully.
"Don't move!" Sheffield was deeply attracted by the sky blue jumpsuit Natalia was wearing. The long skirt dragged on the ground, showing off her tall figure. The elegant and luxurious skirt showed her temperament between maturity and youth to the fullest. The snow-white skin on her bare shoulders and the sky blue skirt complemented each other, attracting people's attention infinitely.
Even an experienced driver couldn't suppress his excitement when he saw a luxury car that had just appeared. He had a very serious face, which made Natalia nervous and wondered what was wrong.
"Please forgive me for being so direct. My dear, you know that I mean what I say and I simply don't bother to lie!" Sheffield looked at her and his words made Natalia's heart tighten. Doesn't it look bad?
"My dear, in fact, with your appearance, tall figure, delicate skin, you have all the advantages of a woman. Even Aphrodite is no better than you. This is a bit modest. In fact, this description is not an exaggeration. In my opinion, you can match any clothes. These clothes are just small embellishments to set off you." Sheffield said coldly, with an apologetic look, "Please forgive me for being so direct." "If anyone has any evil intentions towards you, I would rather give up the United Company and kill his whole family!"
Natalia covered her mouth shyly and laughed, saying timidly, "The slave owner with white skin and black heart, his praise is as sweet as honey."
The relatively innocent little girl didn't understand the slave owner's implicit meaning that she looked best without clothes.

"My heart is as dark as my love for you. Only when I am with you do I feel I am still alive. Otherwise, I would have found a job for Satan long ago. I would have given him a 10,000-year internship and then a 100,000-year probation period. After the probation period, I would have fired him!" Sheffield touched Natalia's delicate arm and exclaimed, "I seem to have seen you surrounded by flowers and applause."
"Okay, don't keep people waiting!" Natalia urged with a smile that she could not hide.
Sheffield didn't move, indicating that he was not in a hurry, at least he couldn't leave now, because his important parts were a little uncomfortable. Although this was a very normal male instinct, it was not good to show it in public, there were quite a lot of people...
Following Vanderbilt II's introduction, Sheffield appeared in the magnificent hall holding Natalia's arm, stunning all the guests, of course, mainly Natalia. As for the ordinary man next to the goddess? Who is he?
Oh, I remember now. This is the developer that Vanderbilt II told about. This man has an ordinary appearance and is a bit rustic, but when he spends money, he looks so handsome. Maybe successful people are like this. They look like real beggars when they wear beggar clothes.
If there wasn't such an eye-catching woman around him, Sheffield would have thought that it was his own dazzling appearance that created such a stunning effect. But now?
"They think they are talented in the field of construction, but they don't see through their actual status. They may not know that I am not here to ask them to do anything, but to teach them how to do real estate." Sheffield held Natalia's arm as she walked slowly, and did not forget to make sarcastic remarks.
"My dear, even if they are all garbage, you have to use them up before throwing them away. You just said that we should avoid the Vanderbilt family's luxurious life!" Natalia tilted her head and said with her red lips, "Don't get angry before you achieve your goal. This is what you usually teach me..."
