Chapter 318 Shooting Assist
There are many things that cannot be stopped. Soon, the two received a telegram from Rio de Janeiro, asking about the progress of the Union University project. Someone had suggested that Sheffield establish a private university to stabilize the descendants of slave owners in the South. He did this, but because of the reconstruction of the New Orleans city, the university now has to be moved to a place where it can maximize its value.
"I even thought I was seeing things. Didn't William always say that he would never do a business that would lose money?" Gale glanced at it and laughed. "Doesn't he hate charity? But this is also for the sake of better alliance partners, so it makes sense."
"Compared with public universities, the biggest advantage of private universities is that they can recruit students independently. We can select the talents that major companies need most. William is right about this. This is not charity." McHale thought for a while and said, "Maybe he has come to his senses now and discovered the benefits of establishing a university."
There are so many benefits of independent enrollment. It has nothing to do with the major that any student studies. If it is more direct, the test questions can be based on whether these candidates are loyal to major companies. Generally speaking, this is an unfair competition with unequal opportunities for candidates. In fact, this is opening a back door for students needed by major companies.
All independent enrollment exams have tangible and intangible thresholds, and this threshold also includes family assets. Private universities such as Union University can completely absorb nutrients from the entire Louisiana public system. Ultimately, a monopoly education covering the entire state with New Orleans as the center will be formed, completely isolating ordinary students from the opportunity to enter Union University.
This is also in line with the idea that private universities only want elites. For large companies like McHale, they do not need too many talents to impact the social order, but only need a part of the best to serve them.
"The problem is back to square one. William believes that many of his plans are troubled by the huge black population in Louisiana. If he really builds a first-class university to attract Dixie people, but these students really come to study, they will probably feel uncomfortable when they see groups of black people when they go out. The enrollment of Union University was not satisfactory before, which was related to the large black population in New Orleans. He also attaches great importance to the location of New Orleans as the center of the South, so naturally he can't stand the black community living here anymore."
"He'll do it sooner or later, for a variety of reasons. The telegram also said he should be back in two months." McHale raised his hand and said, "We have to work harder to prevent this guy from coming back and finding faults."
McHale was right. Sheffield, who had never been interested in donating money to charity, has a new understanding of life as he grows older. He does this not only in Louisiana. If conditions in other states permit, he will continue to build private universities without delaying his ability to make money.
Anywhere except Texas would do. The slave owner knew where the real foundation was. He could use a hoe to dig up the roots of the entire United States public education system, but he would never do so in the headquarters of the United Company.
As long as schools have full freedom, any school will choose students who are naturally good at studying and have outstanding families. These students are rare, so they need to be snatched away. Public universities cannot be completely eliminated, but private universities must be superior to public universities, and citizens must have the same understanding. Slave owners also worked hard for the education cause of the United States.
Just as Martin Luther King III came to power and helped feminist activists in southern states, a common shooting incident occurred in the United States. Two feminist activists were shot and killed in Tennessee. Three women luckily survived. The attackers of the two feminist activists were also black people. According to the survivors, these black men warned them to mind their own business and not disturb the peaceful lives of the black community.
The Chicago Daily Times immediately reported on the experience of the women's rights activists. Albert denounced this crime in a special feature, sharply commenting, "These black men are just using this brutality to scare these women leaders away from their concern for black women. They will never achieve their goal. It is already the 20th century. This barbaric behavior should be eliminated from the territory of the United States."
"You guys go back to Texas right away. Someone from the company will pick you up!" Martin Luther King III said coldly to the two men who were in charge of the execution. "As for the police, they definitely won't have any evidence based on their crime-solving rate. You can rest assured."
This shooting was, of course, planned by the best black spokesperson, a future U.S. senator. He had long been annoyed with these women leaders who oppressed the black community. Each bullet was a desperate cry from the black community, accusing the country of racial injustice.
The Tennessee police department said that they would bring the criminals who shot the women's rights activist to justice and announced that they already had some clues. Martin Luther King III felt that this evidence should confirm that the suspect was black and male...
The accusations and condemnations from public opinion were like a huge wave, causing citizens to express great sympathy for the two deceased women. However, the voices of condemnation also brought negative effects. Just two days after this shooting, there were consecutive shootings of feminist activists in Arkansas and Missouri. Some people have begun to follow suit and commit crimes.
Among the black community, the criminals who attacked these white women are heroes. I heard that they haven't been caught yet? That's even better. Not only are they heroes, but they are also smart heroes, leaving the stupid police clueless.
The three consecutive incidents did not make public opinion disappear, but instead led to a stronger backlash, expressing strong dissatisfaction with the southern states' move of only passing laws but not taking action. However, these newspapers immediately shut up because there was also a shooting incident targeting white women in Chicago.
This shocked Martin Luther King III. Chicago was already in the northeast of the United States, and he did not send anyone there to stir up trouble. After contacting his subordinates in various places, he received denials. Martin Luther King III suddenly realized that "there are indeed black people who are following suit. I immediately ordered them to stop and everyone to return to Texas."
“Has anyone followed the release effect? I heard that a group of black civil rights leaders are calling for people not to spread hatred? Can black people understand? Even if they can understand, the majority of citizens will forgive them, and these civil rights leaders will be lucky not to be scolded. Between the two vulnerable groups, women’s rights and black people, whose voice will be louder?”
When Sheffield received the telegram from New Orleans, he was pleasantly surprised! Isn't this a confrontation between the two most difficult groups in the United States more than a hundred years later? Female boxers and Black Lives Matter!
Maybe only a lesbian daughter of a Mexican and a black man who believe in peace religion and is pregnant before marriage can score points in selling pity? It's really exciting to think about it!
Although he did not feel it directly, the slave owners in the southern hemisphere could already imagine the excitement in the country. After reading the telegram, Sheffield felt like he was walking with the wind. He hopped to Edith Rockefeller's room. The wealthy woman had not yet gotten up. The latter said sleepily, "I feel so heavy and tired!"
"Why don't we go back? If we stay for another two months, your belly will be very obvious." Sheffield reached out and gently stroked Edith Rockefeller's forehead, his tone extremely gentle.
"That's right!" Edith Rockefeller yawned, slowly stood up and looked down at her belly, which had not yet bulged. She was embarrassed that she couldn't see it because the burden on her chest blocked her view. She muttered, "There's actually no change."
"It would be strange if you could see it. I still remember my son's red face every time he drank milk. It's exactly the same as my face when I'm very drunk." Sheffield's tone was full of admiration. At least it saves milk powder, right?
"You laugh at me. Would I be like this without you?" Edith Rockefeller twisted her eyes and said unceremoniously, "This is all caused by you. I, a woman, must bear all the consequences."
"Don't give me that. If you feel comfortable when you go in, you should think about the uncomfortable time!" Sheffield ignored Edith Rockefeller's warning about having children and shirked responsibility in the same unscrupulous way. "I should have brought two secretaries with me so that we can share the risk. Are you satisfied with this?"
While she was still pregnant, Sheffield was ready to return. Everything in Brazil had been settled. Edith Rockefeller's company was set up next to the Brazilian branch of United Motors. From textile factories to clothing design to sales networks, everything was almost done. There was nothing to worry about.
"How about designing a new maternity dress?" Sheffield waited until Edith Rockefeller got up and suggested in a relaxed manner, "Given your current condition, you'll be able to use it in a few months. By the way, what did you wear last time?"
"It was altered from a nun's uniform, so it's just the right size to fit." Edith Rockefeller answered without thinking.
When Sheffield heard this, his face suddenly lit up and he said in a sweet voice, "I haven't seen you in a nun's uniform yet. You must look really good in it!"
"Shut up, you blasphemous slave owner!" Edith Rockefeller directly exposed the man's hypocritical face.
