Chapter 523 We are discussing democracy

In terms of efficiency, considering the distance from Delaware to New Orleans, the judgment had been in Sheffield's hands for less than ten days. It could almost be said that the ink had not yet dried. If you smelled it carefully, you could even smell the ink on it.

It can be said with certainty that this is an efficiency rarely seen in the United States of America. It is so fast that it seems as if the Delaware Court was run by the DuPont family. This is not in line with the fourth-level tactics in diplomatic rhetoric at all.

This unconventional move is not without positive effects. If we think optimistically, the fact that the DuPont family completed the process of prosecution, trial, and verdict so quickly shows that Pierre DuPont has already felt the seriousness of the matter, and the current operation of the factory in Delaware is not optimistic.

Why do I say this? Because the judgment mentioned in Article 5 that "Sheffield United Company, through kickbacks and private transactions, hindered the supply of raw materials to the DuPont Consortium."

During the price wars during the Roosevelt era, Sheffield had never thought about the transportation network. This was only recently started. Holding the verdict high, Sheffield smiled calmly and said with relief, "It is so touching to see this verdict that upholds justice. It would be even better if Sheffield United Company was replaced by DuPont United."

This scene was seen when Alice Roosevelt and Kyoko Sato came in. Alice Roosevelt was very interested in why this Japanese girl appeared in New Orleans. She asked Sheffield and learned the touching story. Naturally, her partner died accidentally, and her left and right arms were ready to make a move and might turn against the Sato family and divide up the property at any time. At this time, the slave owner came as a savior to help the widow and mother and daughter overcome the difficulties.

This process was originally true, except for how Sato Jiexiong died, everything seemed logical. The slave owner was a foreigner, and he could have found a more powerful Japanese businessman to cooperate with, but he kept his promise to help the mother and daughter rebuild the family business. Who dares to say it was fake?

As for why Kyoko Sato was in New Orleans, it was because some blindly xenophobic bastards were in high spirits during the Russo-Japanese War, and it would be safer to live in Oak Manor, where she could be taken care of by Sheffield at any time.

This is the version that Alice Roosevelt heard. As for why it seemed too intimate, they were all young people who spent every day together and suddenly one day there was a chemical reaction, so it is understandable that they couldn't help themselves.

William was honest and did not lie at all, although he admitted that he had a physical relationship with the Japanese girl. But Sato Kyoko's fate also aroused Alice Roosevelt's sympathy. The Roosevelt family was already very wealthy, and Alice Roosevelt naturally had the problems that this class had, such as sometimes exuding unexplained sympathy.

In the end, Alice Roosevelt actually got along well with Kiko Sato and they often went out together. Kiko Sato had the reserved side of an oriental woman, and being taken care of by Alice Roosevelt, who was very active and playful, a wonderful chemical reaction emerged between them.

This process certainly did not happen overnight. Sheffield also mentioned to Alice Roosevelt not to bully the poor girl, and so far nothing serious has happened.

The two came in and saw Sheffield's smug side. Sato Kyoko didn't say anything and just sat aside. Alice Roosevelt knew at a glance that this was a verdict, and glanced at it as if it were an outsider, and said in surprise, "Why aren't you nervous at all?"

As the daughter of the president, Alice Roosevelt was very familiar with some administrative procedures. The experience of the first daughter was not in vain. Her father always wielded the stick of antitrust law. She was very familiar with some procedures and understood that after case law emerged, the next step would most likely be to the federal court.

"Why should I be nervous? This is a typical case of collusion between officials and businessmen. My company is absolutely innocent and has a clear conscience in this regard!" Sheffield said righteously, "Justice may be late, but it will never be absent."

While the three were chatting, Jesra strode in. Seeing this scene, he looked embarrassed and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"If you have something to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here." Sheffield said with a smile when he saw the reaction of the bodyguard leader.

"Boss, one of our Black Gold employees was arrested by the police for a shooting." Jesla told him everything. "Now that someone is dead, I wonder if we should bring him back first."

"There must be a reason why you want to bring the person back. Tell me what it is first." Sheffield took an apple from the table and peeled it while indicating that he wanted to explain.

Before the apple skin was peeled, the matter was clear. The members of the Black Gold Company had been traveling around for a long time. It was inevitable that their wives would be in danger of being taken advantage of. The members involved in the case were living in New Orleans. They found out some stories about their wives and the neighbor, and in anger, they used some of the things they learned in the Black Gold Company.

Crunch! After taking a bite of the apple, Sheffield realized that the matter was not very complicated. He asked vaguely, "No, this kind of matter involving men and women is usually handled by two people. Let me guess, the man was shot, so his wife should be okay, right?"

"That's what I mean, boss!" Jessla frowned slightly, probably understanding what his boss meant.

"Go to the police station first and bring the person out. This is of course an isolated incident. It is very normal for guns to go off accidentally. What about the rest? Bring the woman here too." Sheffield sighed, "This is really a tragedy."

"How could you do this? You just took the criminal out of the police station." Alice Roosevelt was giving the slave owner face by not refutating him on the spot. After Jesla left, she could no longer bear it.

"Because it's understandable. First, I'm a man, I can't stand this kind of thing. Second, this is my employee, so of course I have to take care of it. The members of Black Gold Company deserve my protection. They work for me with their lives, so sometimes I have to show some sincerity." Sheffield tilted his neck and said, "Don't worry about this. This is our private company's private matter, and no one needs to interfere."

Why bring women here as well? Of course it's for gender equality. As a progressive person, Sheffield must oppose excessive male power and prevent women's rights from expanding too much.

Gathering all the black gold bodyguards in the manor, and asking them to keep an eye on the two women and not let them come out, Sheffield chose to personally mediate the personal emotional issues of the company's employees under a row of oak trees, and all the bodyguards were witnesses.

This of course requires human witnesses. We just need to bring people from the police station, together with a few witnesses, a total of five people to examine the ins and outs of this case. The facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive.

Sheffield even selflessly listened to the opinions of the victim's family. In the end, he waved his hand and dozens of bodyguards drew their guns at the same time. He said to the company employees who had just come out of the police station, "I'm giving you a chance now. You either kill these people including your wife, or this matter will be over. But if you are hesitant, I need to hold a democratic vote on this matter and let all your colleagues present here decide. But I must remind you that many people have wives and certainly don't want this to happen to them. So after a democratic vote, the result will most likely not change, and several people will still die."

"Who are you? You can decide other people's life and death just because you have money?" The slave owner had just finished speaking when the victim's relatives were dissatisfied. The others had suffered unprovoked disasters.

Jessla stepped forward and punched him in the chest, shutting up all his discontent. All that could be heard was a violent cough. It must be said that the current head of Black Gold Company is absolutely capable. After doing all this, he reminded him viciously, "Shut up, you pig. We are discussing democracy."

"Who am I? Of course I am the master of this country. Every day I care about what this country can do for me." Sheffield boasted and turned his gaze back to his employees. "As a boss, I have done everything I should have prepared for you. Now the initiative is in your hands."

This black gold bodyguard was less than 30 years old, and was considered the same age as Sheffield. After listening to his boss, he also fell into a painful struggle. His colleagues were watching him all around, making it difficult for him to say anything to beg for mercy.

"You have to think clearly. The initiative is in your hands now. If you let your colleagues vote democratically, it will be too late for you to regret." Sheffield reminded him in time, "This is two wolves and a sheep discussing what to eat today."

After saying this, Sheffield turned around and left this dilemma. The boss always has privileges and can choose to fast forward to avoid some discordant scenes.

In the end, Sheffield never heard the sound of firecrackers. Not long after, Jess pulled him over to tell the story. After his wife's pleading, the company employee finally softened his heart and chose to stop there.

"This person will be transferred directly to the prison trust. He definitely doesn't want to stay here any longer. Also, in the future, the first time something like this happens, the initiative will be given to him. The second time, just deal with it directly, considering the interests of the company's employees. If you can't bear it and can't do it, you can apply to let a colleague do it for you, but the executor must keep it confidential." Sheffield thought and said, "It seems to be okay, right? It's very in line with procedural justice, right?"

At least it complies with the procedural justice of the joint company. Whether this procedural justice is fair or not depends mainly on Sheffield's definition. If he thinks such a definition is beneficial, then there is no problem.

"I thought you were going to do something!" Alice Roosevelt breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she had misjudged the man.

"How could that be? I'm not the kind of person you think." Sheffield said calmly. If something really happened, it would be the best choice made under the democratic process of voting.
