Chapter 364 Guests Arrive

"You should think about how to deal with your grandmother, Mr. Kodak's Paris sales manager." Sheffield faced the old man with a very exaggerated smile. "I can't interfere with your personal life, but there are people who can interfere. You must behave yourself when you arrive in Arlington."

"Don't I have an excellent heir as my son? I have nothing to worry about with you here." Harry Sheffield was very unconscious, but was immediately interrupted by the excellent heir he mentioned. "I won't be back soon. I still have a lot of preparations to do. Marriage is a big deal, not just keeping a mistress. I must give Anne an explanation."

"Mom!" Compared to the two generations of heirs whose demeanor changed suddenly, the situation on Anne's side was much more normal. She was very affectionate when she saw her mother whom she hadn't seen for several years. They hugged each other tightly as if they had endless things to say.

Harry Sheffield, Anne's mother Susan, and several other female idlers were pointed out by Sheffield to several empty cars that had been left. Knowing that the old man's principles were not to be lenient, the slave masters did not let him off the hook. Sure enough, the empty cars that had been prepared were now put to use.

Pulling Evelyn and Natalia who were about to have a good contact with Harry Sheffield, Sheffield explained impatiently, "Don't think about greeting your father-in-law. Our family's situation is rather special. Up to my generation, every generation has had the final say, and you two might as well have a good talk with my aunt."

The slave owner's wedding was a big deal, and the most fundamental reason was that he didn't think of keeping a low profile. Since it was a formal wedding, it had to be beautiful. Especially among the guests, there were members of the Vanderbilt family, which could not be taken lightly.

"Harry, little William is actually very good!" Knowing that Sheffield was busy running around and treating his daughter so seriously, Susan said to the old man with some envy.

"Very good?" Harry Sheffield heard the hidden meaning and decisively criticized his good son. "Susan, you can't think like that. Look at the two women around him. They are definitely mistresses. All men are the same. There are not many people like me who can handle it easily. Anne, don't suffer a loss."

Is that so? Susan fell into deep thought upon hearing this. Harry Sheffield turned his head and let out a long breath, with a look of relief on his face. He had finally managed to deal with it with great adaptability.

Sheffield had no time to deal with the grudges of the previous generation. He himself had no feelings for the old man. Although he was born with memories, sleepiness in childhood was determined by human growth. He had not seen the old man many times, and he went directly to the European continent to experience the prosperous mistress culture in France.

After placing the guests from Paris in Houston's villa, the slave owner was busy with his own affairs. He was very serious about preparing for this wedding. The present time was different from the past. Although compared with European countries, the process in the United States was quite simple. However, Sheffield, who had an oriental soul in his bones, was very good at one thing, complicating simple things.

"On May 1st, all the companies under the United Company will have to reduce the prices of their products to a certain extent, whether it's food from chain supermarkets, cars from car companies, or even real estate in New Orleans. However, if the discount is too big, it will be a bit of a loss. We will limit the purchase to ten houses." Sheffield said lazily with his hands in his pockets, "Such a good day, I will also give some benefits to the citizens. As for the United Company, we will hold a lottery for benefits. Houses, cars, electrical appliances, or food, we will immediately draw up a prize, and the Black Gold Company will give cash rewards. I'm not losing money here. You can think of it as a promotion. It's just that it's being held at the same time as this wedding. I don't plan to do it secretly for this important event in my life."

The slave owner explained the idea of ​​the sales promotion on May 1st to all departments of the joint company. "The sales staff will promote the sales, and the factory workers will have a holiday. The lottery will be completed on May 1st. The workers will not have their salaries deducted, and the sales staff will be given commissions based on the goods sold. That's it."

Do citizens of the United States like simplicity? That was decades ago. After being poisoned by so many trusts for many years, citizens of the United States are now the most materialistic citizens in the world. The style of the Vanderbilt family is the dream that daydreaming citizens want to realize.

In Florida, Jackson took the invitation in his hand and kissed it hard twice, with a smug look on his face. This made his wife Emma very puzzled and asked, "It's just an invitation. Are you too happy?"

"Do you think this is just an invitation? It's an entry ticket to the southern upper class. The invitees include the Rockefeller family, the Adams family that produced two generations of presidents, all the well-known Yankee companies, and the big farmers here. Any one of them is a wealthy person. Attending a wedding is much more important than giving a gift." Jackson pinched the invitation between his fingers, as if he was afraid it would suddenly fly away.

"I wonder if my family has received the invitation." Emma's eyes lit up and she asked, "Can you get more invitations?"

"What are you thinking? Unless you are a fool, who would give the invitation to others? However, any invitation card can bring family members to attend. No one will object if I want to bring my family." Jackson said dissatisfiedly, "You can just follow me. There will be many wealthy people by then. As long as you know one, or the sons and daughters of these wealthy people, you will form a lot of marriages. You will see, it is absolutely true."

Of course, for many more distant guests, they are somewhat resentful in their hearts. Although they have a lot of solid connections established by the joint companies, the World Expo was held last year and they are getting married this year, so the slave owners are indeed a little overwhelmed for them.

However, for more people, the news of this wedding has just come out and it has already attracted everyone's attention, because many newspapers have been reprinting it. The actions of the United Company on the wedding day, the parallel holidays and promotions, and the series of discounts and raffles announced have made the citizens look forward to it.

There has never been a wedding like this in the entire United States of America that has received so much attention. Even at this early stage, it has already become a hot topic among citizens.

"Pasha, Grand Vizier and the entire Askari send you warm greetings. Thank you Pasha for your many years of contribution to the Ottoman Empire!" A group of men dressed in Ottoman formalities greeted Sheffield with Ottoman etiquette, and also brought some gifts and ten Arab beauties.

Send a woman? Don't you know I'm getting married now? Thinking this way, Sheffield still accepted it all, expressing his infinite loyalty to Osman! As for the next batch of pagans, preparing to exchange a batch of cash from William Pasha, these are all small problems. William Pasha is willing to go through fire and water for the great Osman.

The United States is a country of immigrants. The immigrants sent by the Ottoman Empire also believe in Christianity, but they belong to a different branch of the Orthodox Church. There is no problem with this. Texas is already in this state anyway, so it doesn't matter if it has too much debt.

At the same time, Anne, accompanied by Evelyn and Natalia, was trying on the finished wedding dress. The dress was twelve meters long and used one thousand four hundred pearls and one hundred and twenty diamonds. It took two months to make. The satin material and the tulle splicing made it fashionable and elegant.

"She is so beautiful. I can't take my eyes off her at first sight." Natalia looked at Anne in her wedding dress and admired her sincerely. Natalia has always been very confident about her appearance, but this time, she actually felt that this woman was similar to herself.

"The wedding convoy will be made up of new cars. All guests going to Arlington will be picked up and dropped off by cars. Of course, they need to be carefully checked. Grandma has already said that retired soldiers from the Alamo Guard will be summoned to escort them. On the wedding day, planes will appear over Arlington with banners." Sheffield planned the wedding process in front of Harry Sheffield, Susan, and a group of female idlers. "There will be a hundred welcoming ladies, and the maids in the manor are more than enough. John Connor has already led people to Arlington, and with the Alamo Guard, they will ensure safety."

"Any other questions?" Sheffield said, looking at Anne's mother, Earl Susan, with an inquiring look.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Nothing, you've got it all figured out!" Susan was almost grinning and couldn't stop. She nudged Harry Sheffield beside her with her elbow, motioning for the old man to say something.

This reminded Sheffield that if there was any unexpected factor, it was the old man who had lost contact with the man in Paris. So far, he had not seen the old man. Wouldn't something happen on that day? If he had known earlier, he would have just called Anne's mother over. The old man's return to China would only be a negative factor.

"Since there is no problem, I will take Annie back tomorrow." Sheffield did not wait for the old man to express his opinion, and stood up and said, "There are a lot of things to do at Arlington Manor, and the two of us need to go back and prepare."

"Why don't you speak?" Susan complained somewhat dissatisfiedly after Sheffield left.

"What am I saying? William said it so well." Harry Sheffield said unaware, "Very well prepared."

The Arlington train station was already filled with United Company security forces, and from this time on, Arlington had become bustling with guests beginning to arrive.
