Chapter 115 Get to know each other again
"Are women's prisons also privately owned?" Edith Rockefeller was shocked. It seemed that after entering Texas, she had come to a new world. For a socialite like her who attended balls and wore gowns, it was like a dream.
"Aren't you interested in our Texas landowner?" Sheffield glanced at Edith Rockefeller with a playful look in his eyes. "Today I will let you get to know me and also let you see the surface. But you don't have to criticize me, because maybe my family has gone a little too far in some places, but for most things, our class should not blame each other. We are all the same, just in different ways."
Before the warden came, Sheffield gave the Rockefeller family's eldest princess a warning, asking her not to be surprised by what happened next. Sheffield also said that after today, Sheffield would not admit anything he had said.
For example, Edith Rockefeller is a woman, so old Rockefeller would naturally not let his daughter participate in too many real stories. Young Rockefeller must know more about this. If there are things that young Rockefeller can't handle, I believe that old Rockefeller, who believes in making money to buy life, will definitely not sit idly by.
Edith Rockefeller lived a very ordinary life. She owned 30 million US dollars' worth of stocks from her father, but had never experienced the dark side of society. She became a socialite almost immediately after completing her studies, and had no knowledge of the real life.
It is not easy to find a country similar to the United States, a country with industry giants, in a hundred years. If we really want to find a country similar to it, African countries are definitely not suitable, because they are too poor. There was no great famine in the United States in 1895. Brazil, a representative of Latin American countries, is also not suitable. Although Brazil is also called the United States, it is a country with very ordinary industry.
Countries that have been influenced by the Soviet Union are not good, because the politics are different. Similarly, those Western European countries that once bore the heavy pressure of the Soviet Union were also once overwhelmed by the steel torrent at any time, which made these countries somewhat influenced by the Soviet Union. They were not the pure beacon of capitalism like the United States, the hope of mankind, and even became a little saintly.
The countries that are really similar to the current United States are East Asia, Japan and South Korea, especially South Korea. The situation in South Korea in the 21st century is actually one step further than the current United States. Rockefellers and Morgans will need some time to develop before they can officially surrender to the federal government.
The United States in 1895 was in this stage of progress, so candidates like William Bryan, who had not even officially received the Democratic nomination, had already made many people nervous.
But a hundred years later, South Korea has already passed this stage. The chaebols, whose majority of shares are controlled by Wall Street, have long been in control of South Korea. They want to protect a person, even if the president publicly declares that he will conduct a thorough investigation. There are always cases in the Korean entertainment industry that cause public outrage, but Koreans cannot change the results even after marching and protesting.
In this situation, the fact that movies that expose the true nature of human beings and real cases are released one after another and have very high box office is an irony in itself. No matter how tearful and bloody the accusations are, what can they do? The chaebol asks you, who are you fighting against? Is your resistance useful? Are you worthy of fighting?
The chairman of the chaebol, leaning on a cane, said in Japanese at the court to purge pro-Japanese factions, "Who dares to judge me?" He was finally announced to be released due to health reasons!
Private companies need to provide resumes of both parents, and children of employees whose parents once worked for chaebols will be given priority. With such regulations, the Korean government is actually no longer necessary.
Sheffield envied his South Korean counterparts in later generations. Although they were small, the chaebols accounted for 80% of the country's economy. The counterparts in the United States were obviously much inferior, accounting for less than 60%. During the Cold War, they even accounted for less than half. They are well-deserved beacons of civilization and hope for mankind.
However, this is based on the premise that domestic pressure can be released. To release pressure, no company without an international perspective can do so. The Sheffield family can be said to have a strong international perspective.
When the warden, a middle-aged man in his forties with a big belly, came over, Sheffield asked Edith Rockefeller without hesitation, "There has been no trouble in the prison recently, right?"
"Don't worry, Master William. It would be fine if they make a fuss at other times, but now when I have something to do, if they dare to be dishonest at this time, I will make them regret it." McAdams puffed out his chest, still not letting his pot belly get smaller.
With a kind smile, Sheffield patted the warden's belly and said gently, "You should exercise even if you have nothing to do. Don't let the prison guards do everything. Sweating is a good thing."
He was simply a model of caring for his subordinates, but then he changed the subject and asked, "Three months ago you said the Mexican prisoners were dishonest, but now it seems they are doing OK and haven't caused any trouble."
"They always say they are wronged. What are a bunch of criminals wronging? These Mexicans who sneaked in deserve a beating. A few more beatings will make them behave. I will definitely do it myself in the future and exercise more." At the end, McAdams said with a flattering smile, "Young Master cares about a small person like me so much. I am very grateful. At the same time, I say hello to the old lady."
"Grandma is very kind. There are only three private prisons, and the two men's prisons are the biggest source of income. If you manage it well, grandma will know it very well!" Sheffield encouraged McAdams and urged the progress of the project. "It should not be a problem to complete the general framework before Thanksgiving. Don't delay the holiday."
"Guarantee completion!" McAdams even saluted in front of Sheffield before leaving with her big belly swaying.
Edith Rockefeller was silent for a long time, digesting the shock she had received. Sheffield pulled her back and said indifferently, "In fact, many prisoners were captured by the Texas Rangers from the border. To be honest, when the prison population was insufficient, many Mexican prisoners were really wrongly accused. Of course, these people cannot be kept in vain without major projects. Just judges can always find evidence of their wrongful convictions and release them, and then arrest them when needed."
"This will allow the returning Mexicans to spread fear and prevent illegal immigration, while also obtaining free labor, killing two birds with one stone," Sheffield explained the key point.
"Isn't this what your family did in Africa before the Civil War?" Edith Rockefeller shook her head, as if she was getting to know Sheffield for the first time.
"Don't say that. This is all to protect the borders of the United States. It's just a small trick!" Sheffield asked without any shame. "The Rockefeller family is heavily involved in the pharmaceutical industry. Although I don't know much about the pharmaceutical industry, I do know a basic fact: drugs must be tested, and the subjects of the test are preferably humans, because they are manufactured to be used on humans. Dear Miss Edith, do you use animals for drug testing or citizens of the United States?"
A hand suddenly stretched out in front of Edith Rockefeller, startling her. When she looked up, she saw Sheffield and introduced himself, "Meet you again, William Sheffield."
"Edith Rockefeller!" Edith Rockefeller stretched out her hand. She now knew what it meant to get to know each other again.
I originally wanted to update one chapter today, but then I thought, I might get scolded.
