Chapter 419: The Federal Government Comes to Seek Help

"There is such a thing?" Evelyn covered her mouth with her hands, looking very cute. However, the slave owner was fine, but the tobacco king couldn't stand it anymore. So don't be too firm in saying such things, as it's easy to get embarrassed.

Out of good upbringing, Evelyn did not laugh at the tobacco king, but asked her man why he came this time.

"You know I'm a person who can't sit still. I'm out this time to take care of some things." Sheffield said, "McHale is going to Australia, and the Russo-Japanese War has entered the negotiation stage. Alice Roosevelt is going to Asia with the delegation. I want to visit the San Francisco Shipyard and learn about the situation of the Union Bank. That's all."

Just these few things? Evelin’s mouth curled up slightly, and she spoke so easily, as if the prosecution was today and the verdict would be announced tomorrow.

No matter from which angle, being able to trouble the slave owner to set off is definitely not a trivial matter. Doesn't Evelyn know what kind of man he is? The word "lazy" is deeply rooted in his bones. He is the most diligent only when taking off women's clothes.

"Hannah will be back soon!" Evelyn knocked away Sheffield's mischievous hand and rolled her eyes. "She will be very happy to know that her father is here."

"Oh!" Sheffield was a little unhappy but still withdrew his hand. His daughter was back, which was a big deal. In fact, he didn't meet his biological daughter very often.

At this time, the father's love was being shown. The little girl already had some potential for beauty. She was laughing in front of her parents. After a while, she was playing with the dog. The family of three looked very comfortable. Evelin suddenly made a surprise attack and said, "How many women have you had affairs with? Tell me one and I'll give you a hundred dollars."

"Don't be ridiculous. With my worth, do I need to make a small fortune of 18,000 yuan?" Sheffield said nonchalantly, hugging Evelin. "Don't you know all about my close friends?"

The soft flesh under the ribs was pinched by slender fingers, and then rotated. The slave master groaned and whispered, "It's broken."

“I’ll crush you, you bad thing!” Seeing that her daughter didn’t notice the situation here, Evelin gritted her teeth and threatened, “You only know how to harm vulnerable groups like women.”

While she was still in the process of doing it, Sheffield grabbed her little hand and shook her head slightly, "You really can't pinch this. This is the driving force of my life. Men rely on this thing to grit their teeth."

Evelyn already knew the purpose of the slave owner's coming to Los Angeles. The only thing that interested her was McHale's trip to Australia. She said softly, "McHale is a smart man. He is not as content as Gail."

"He just doesn't understand the international situation very well. Big businessmen must understand the international situation. He is farsighted to focus on Australia, but the international situation is not yet mature. That is the British sphere of influence. With our country's current international prestige, it is not enough to help us expand the market, especially the market within the British sphere of influence." Sheffield said nonchalantly, "So I'm not in a hurry now. I won't miss the opportunity if I wait."

Australia is a loyal dog of the empire, just as Sheffield said before, the reason why it is criticized is entirely because it is a loyal dog of the opponent. If on the contrary, there is a country composed of Chinese and it follows the Republic closely, the Republic's propaganda of "blood is thicker than water" can be promoted from morning to night, and every day is different.

So this is jealousy, jealousy makes people twisted. However, Australia's imperial loyal dog attribute is too strong, which is not a good thing. The American century that is always talked about still has a greater impact on domestic citizens. Not to mention Australia, which is separated by an ocean. Australians now only have Britain in their eyes.

The United States of America is just a substitute in their eyes. This situation will not change until the Great White Fleet sails around the world, so Sheffield believes that it will not be too late to enter the market until Australians change their thinking. There is no need to rush now.

As for South Africa in another direction, Sheffield was more concerned because although Britain won the Boer War, the South African political power was still in the hands of the Boers. The Boers could make many decisions and had a great deal of autonomy, so they could talk about business cooperation. John Connor had already gone to Cape Town.

McHale had not yet fully understood the international situation that the slave owner was talking about. It can be concluded that his trip to Australia would not be very successful. As for his visit to the shipyard in San Francisco, it was also related to the international situation.

The Russo-Japanese War finally came to an end, and the Russian army was defeated on the land battlefield. Of course, in terms of troop losses, the Russian army's losses were much better than those of the Japanese army. Japan and Russia have begun peace talks, and even President Roosevelt has stepped in to mediate the peace talks. Sheffield remembered that Roosevelt seemed to have won the Explosive Peace Prize for this matter.

After this battle, the Japanese Navy has become the largest naval force in the Pacific, with an overwhelming advantage over the United States Pacific Fleet. I believe the White House has also noticed this.

The shipyards on the west coast and the geographical location of Hawaii would definitely be taken seriously, so inspecting the San Francisco shipyard was something that slave owners had to do. Of course, now that the domestic economy is stable and naval orders are coming in continuously, President Roosevelt attaches so much importance to naval construction.

So when Sheffield visited the San Francisco shipyard, although he received a very good attitude because of the reputation of the United Company, it was impossible for him to sell the shipyard. Everyone knew that shipbuilding was backed by the Navy Department, which was the goose that laid golden eggs. If Sheffield proposed to acquire the shipyard, the attitude might not have been so good.

Even so, seeing Sheffield's eyes shining as he looked at the shipyard equipment and his undisguised greed still made the person in charge of the San Francisco Shipyard feel uncomfortable. He secretly complained that his own shipyard was in such a bad state, yet he was still thinking about other people's shipyards.

"You should be more careful. They are guarding against you like they are guarding against thieves." Evelyn couldn't help but complain after leaving the San Francisco Shipyard, "It's such a big company, but they don't pay any attention at all."

"What are you paying attention to? Sooner or later, it will all be mine. He will have to ask me to buy it then. Sometimes, if you are lucky, even God will help you." Sheffield said disdainfully. Now, he was only one major earthquake away from successfully acquiring the San Francisco shipyard. Thinking of this, he said, "Evelyn, there is one thing I must tell you. When I am not in California, you must not come to San Francisco by yourself. Do you understand?"

"I heard it!" Evelyn was frightened by Sheffield's appearance and agreed hesitantly.

The slave owner was still very threatening when he was puffing his beard and glaring, but Evelyn's greatest advantage was that she was obedient.

"That's good!" Sheffield looked back in the direction of the San Francisco shipyard before reluctantly leaving. As for doing something to reduce the losses in San Francisco, it was too much to think about. This was not in line with the class attributes of the slave owners. These people who thought they were citizens were actually the people. It was not worth pitying them no matter how many they died.

Sheffield was also an old slave owner and knew that all this was God's will, so he could not save them.

The next step is to check the business of the United Bank. From a national perspective, after several years of development, the United Bank is still not a strong bank. However, it depends on who you compare it with. Compared with the banks in New York, it is indeed very poor, and compared with the banks in the Great West, it is a behemoth.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The development and bad debt rate are both within an acceptable range. Even if there is an economic crisis now, United Bank can still hold on. After all, United Company is an industrial company. Their thinking is not as gambling as that of real bankers. They attach great importance to the bad debt rate. The results after the inventory have put the slave owners at ease. They have the potential to shine in the economic crisis.

For real tycoons like Morgan, the economic crisis is just a signal light for harvesting. However, the United States is not the world hegemon in a hundred years, so it usually harvests itself. According to a fashionable word, the current United States is an involutionary country. Except for Britain and France, which have huge colonies, the rest of the countries are involutionary countries.

The typical involutionary countries in the later generations are the three major powers in East Asia, China, Japan and South Korea. The United States and Europe do not count. Under the same income, the living pressure in Europe and the United States is much less than that in East Asia. They all earn 10,000 yuan. The three major powers in East Asia are humanoid machines, while Europe and the United States are just bragging and talking nonsense. As for places other than East Asia, Europe and the United States, they are not involutionary at all, and they are just living a life of idleness and waiting for death.

Because the national systems are different, even China, Japan and South Korea are different. Japan started the earliest, and China is the strongest and can resist the shearing of sheep. In fact, the life pressure of South Koreans is the greatest. This is not bad. Many countries want to involution but have no chance. China, Japan and South Korea are humanoid machines, and other countries are humanoid animals.

Now Sheffield waits for Morgan to come out to shear the sheep, then knocks him down with a club, and then picks up Morgan's scissors.

If managed well, United Bank will become a true giant and will not be as weak as it is now.

While visiting the shipyard and working at the Union Bank, the slave owner also took time to see McHale off at the dock. A few days later, he sent a delegation visiting Asia on board and asked his female bodyguard to protect Alice Roosevelt.

Just after finishing these things, Arlington called Evelyn Manor. It was Anne who called, "William, the Federal Land Administration wants to talk to you. It seems that someone from the Navy Department wants to discuss the Hawaiian land issue."

"Land in Hawaii? Oh, the Russo-Japanese War just ended. Are they going to expand the Hawaiian military port?" Sheffield laughed. "Does this count as the federal government coming to ask for help? Then I have to think carefully about what conditions to put forward."

I will update two chapters today. It’s the last day so let me take a break.
