Chapter 143 Moral Saint
In cities such as Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, etc., it has entered the final opening eve, but as for the opening of the New York supermarket, the sales volume has surprised Sheffield. It seems that as the pride of the United States, the home of major financial bankers and corporate headquarters, the purchasing power of New Yorkers, the pride of the country, is still very exciting.
The speed of the capital return gave Sheffield more confidence in the success of the supermarket chain. He was prepared to squeeze out the middlemen even if he didn't make money. With the psychological preparation of anticipating the enemy, this situation was already a pleasant surprise. The happiness of rich people is simple and boring.
"Too slow, too slow, it should be faster!" Sheffield didn't know whether he was dissatisfied with the speed of the train or muttering something else meaningfully.
Arriving in Chicago, Sheffield was met by Edith Rockefeller, who came to greet him, along with a huge wall of Black Gold employees. Edith Rockefeller was wearing light makeup today, but not in the traditional sense. European and American makeup is not that light.
"Why do you always bring nearly a hundred people with you when you go out? Does it mean that your family is rich?" Seeing such a big scene in Sheffield, Edith Rockefeller covered her mouth and chuckled, and teased without any hesitation.
"My steel mill was attacked not long ago!" Sheffield raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "As far as I know, the public security situation in Chicago is not very good. It is far less honest than the citizens of Texas."
"You Texans are too simple and honest. You've overused the word simple and honest." Edith Rockefeller glared at her and licked her lips. "Your mouth still stinks!"
"You... are fine!" Sheffield wanted to say that you have tried it, but when he thought of the last scene, in public, the peculiar character of the Rockefeller princess might really do something. As a good young man, he might not be willing to do that. He looked around and said, "Why didn't your husband come over? Is he busy?"
If Edith Rockefeller's husband had come, it might have eased the embarrassment and saved her the trouble of carrying the burden.
"I separated from him!" Edith Rockefeller looked at Sheffield deeply and spoke slowly.
Can you please stop looking at me like that? Sheffield gritted his teeth. This matter seemed to have nothing to do with him. He didn't do anything, so how could he be a mistress all of a sudden?
"That may be more due to the incompatibility of personalities. But there's a saying that goes, 'fight at the head of the bed, make up at the foot of the bed'. We should communicate more!" Sheffield distanced himself from the matter dryly. He was a man who valued his reputation so much that he must not let the rumor get out that anything had happened between him and the young woman. He couldn't afford the consequences.
But even so, after walking out of the train station, Sheffield still grabbed Edith Rockefeller's mink and begged, "I have to go to the steel plant first, come with me."
Life is about adaptability. Sheffield wanted to stay out of other people's relationships, but considering that Chicago was Yankee territory after all, especially since the steel mill had just had an accident, for his own safety, it was safer to take the eldest princess of the Rockefeller family with him.
It is rare in the United States to find someone who dares to attack important members of two families at the same time. Sheffield must admit that he does not want his grandfather's fate to fall upon himself and has no interest in the drama of surrendering halfway.
"Just act serious when there are many people around!" Edith Rockefeller naturally didn't know that the eaglet in front of her was completely worried about its life safety. She thought that her charm was so great that the young eaglet, who was not very worldly-wise, had already bewitched her, so naturally she agreed.
Winning people's hearts is a very sophisticated method. It must be admitted that Sheffield has no research on this, so he can only express it anytime and anywhere from small things. Yue Buqun is still cautious and maintains his reputation for the goal of being the best in the world. What's more, he doesn't have to endure humiliation like Master Yue, and he doesn't need to make such a big sacrifice.
Now that the steel mill has been attacked, Sheffield must make a trip even for the sake of people's hearts. You have to know that he was the one who strongly promoted the opening of the steel mill, and all the supervisors in Chicago also obeyed his orders. It is okay to kill and not bury others, but he must never do this to his subordinates.
From time to time, he stretched out his fingers to measure the temperature of the coffee cup, feeling that it was not the right time yet. Sheffield pursed his lips. It was indeed inconvenient for a man to go out without a woman who understood his feelings. It was not just a problem of having no one to sleep with.
"The three employees who died in the attack have been transported back to Arlington Cemetery for burial. You can rest assured that their children will grow up safely. As long as they are not in any trouble, they will be given priority for recruitment in the future, so you don't have to worry about unemployment." Sheffield said dryly, "Although everyone is accustomed to life and death, our family is absolutely worthy of everyone's bloodshed and sacrifice in this regard. As for the attackers, someone has already taken action. At least the attackers whose identities can be identified, I have reunited their families. This is now over. After all, our opponents are not kind people, but I believe that one day, we will trample them under our feet and make them never stand up again."
Sheffield nodded with satisfaction after receiving the enthusiastic response, which showed the importance the United Company attached to the steel plant. Although some unexpected factors had occurred, the production capacity of one million tons must be achieved as soon as possible. The process could be tortuous, but the result could not be changed.
In fact, Sheffield's current decision is greatly influenced by the Soviet system. Although he lives in the beacon of capitalism, there are many powerful people here, and it is impossible not to use some unknown means. If you compare each family to a country, Sheffield still believes that the best choice to catch up is the Soviet approach. Anyway, there is agriculture and animal husbandry as a bottom line, so expand wildly. If it fails, wait and see. When you have enough money, continue to expand wildly. You must grab as much market share as possible before the order of each industry is completely established.
Of course, as a capitalist, Sheffield only used this method and did not intend to do anything about the politics and society of the United States. Even the dream of the end-users was just something he wanted to think about.
The priority industries currently being planned are, first, to focus on developing agriculture, vigorously promote advanced agricultural production technologies, increase the total amount of agricultural products, consolidate our position in agriculture, adopt large-scale mechanized production, and expand the scale of production.
In addition to food, there must be weapons to protect it. In a broader sense, this is also for the service of the United States. Conversely, the United States will also support the military industry, which is also the United States serving its own family. Agriculture and military industry must occupy a place, which can ensure the continuation of a family.
In addition to food and military industry, related extended industries have also been established, but other industries currently serve these two areas.
"The little girl is quite domineering," murmured Edith Rockefeller as she sat aside. She felt a little hot in the mink coat, so she took off her clothes to reveal her explosive figure, adding a touch of feminine charm to the conference room that was already filled with the smell of fireworks.
"And then!" Sheffield brought the already cold coffee to his lips, glanced at the young woman beside him and secretly swallowed his saliva. Can you pay attention to the occasion? A group of men are watching, knowing that you are separated now. "That's it, increase the production capacity, and we'll talk about the rest later."
Interrupted by Edith Rockefeller's action, Sheffield frowned for a long time, and couldn't remember what he was about to say. He waved his hand to end his boss's lecture. He originally wanted to add something and use two hours to complete this meeting.
Finally it's over! The steel mill's supervisors breathed a sigh of relief. They could only say they didn't want to listen to the boss's endless nonsense, but they had to listen. They couldn't wait for it to end.
Seeing that it was almost time, Sheffield did not waste any more time and left the steel plant to prepare to attend the supermarket opening. In fact, tomorrow, chain supermarkets throughout the northern states will open simultaneously in order to create a sensational effect, and among the Chicago supermarkets, Sheffield will choose one to preside over the opening personally.
In just a week, the booming supermarket openings in New York have been reported in newspapers across the country, and have been heard by citizens in many other cities, sparking their curiosity.
All this is thanks to the previous mergers and acquisitions in the media industry. It can be said that Sheffield has done everything that this era allowed him to do in the late 19th century.
Just like when supermarkets in New York opened, there was also a rare crowd in front of large supermarkets in Chicago. Witnessing the beginning of the killing of middlemen, Sheffield expressed his indignation about the sharp rise and fall of grain prices in the United States last year through a loudspeaker. "Last year's fluctuations in agricultural and livestock products caused many citizens of the United States to suffer huge losses. It was not only consumers who suffered losses, but also farmers in southern states. In the final analysis, this opacity was full of shady operations."
Listening to the clear voice of someone who was not known where he was speaking, the crowd gradually quieted down. Last year was not that long ago, and people certainly still remember the days when agricultural products skyrocketed and plummeted within a year. Following Sheffield's speech, the crowd was ready to learn about the inside story.
Little did they know that this was Sheffield's attempt to whitewash himself. First, he criticized the UK's restrictions on agricultural exports to the United States, which caused a food backlog. In short, it was all the British's fault. Then he reviewed the panic among citizens about food security at the beginning of last year. In short, someone was spreading panic.
As for my own home, what does this have to do with my own home? Isn’t the moral saint conducting science education here?
I'll update two chapters first, and there will be more in the evening. I'm not kidding when I say I don't have any manuscripts saved. I'm being honest.
