Chapter 577 Plastic Kingdom
Seeing that Sheffield had already started to unbuckle his belt, Louisa Morgan finally realized the seriousness of the situation and waved her hands tremblingly, "I'm not ready yet, don't do this."
The princess of the Morgan family was finally scared. If she didn't take any medicine to soften her temper, this experience might be unforgettable for her.
"You should be thankful that I'm already thirty years old, and not just an adult." Sheffield tightened his belt again and said condescendingly, "So you know how to be afraid. Now that you know how to be afraid, you should be more respectful to me in the future."
The main reason is that Sheffield is still a little resistant to boat sex, otherwise Louisa Morgan would have to die here today.
After this incident, Louisa Morgan became much more honest and restrained her previous arrogance. That's right, this is what a woman should be like. She can't bully others just because of her good family background. When has Sheffield ever bullied anyone? He just killed people!
It is not an exaggeration to say that Sheffield has an all-powerful position in the South. What else could the other party be dissatisfied with for being able to spare time to simulate life with Louisa Morgan?
Even with this status, is the slave owner arrogant? Didn't he feel that the chances were low, so he came to New York to seek help and asked the Rockefeller and Morgan families for help? Otherwise, would the other party have a chance to discuss mergers and acquisitions in the automotive industry with him?
Although Sheffield did not suffer any loss in this matter, it also proved that he, as a slave owner, was not a person who did not know how to advance and retreat. Although sometimes he wanted to experience the dream of a final producer, he could also distinguish the gap between ideal and reality.
So even though Sheffield seems to be running rampant in the United States without any rivals now, he is still very cautious. He has a clear idea of what can be done and what cannot be done in his mind, and he has a good grasp of such questions.
Sheffield did not get angry, and Louisa Morgan was not stupid either. After calming down, she realized that she was just scared just now, and the other party might not dare to do anything. But even so, her tone softened a lot, and she did not dare to tease this rutting bull anymore and talk about serious things.
"Actually, I don't have any prejudice against you, I just don't like the fact that the international shipping company I control now is gone. What will I do when it comes into your hands? I've been there for several years." Louisa Morgan said.
Sheffield glanced at Louisa Morgan and said, "I didn't chase you away. If you want to stay, then continue to work at the international shipping company. What's wrong with that? You like cruise ships, so you can separate the cruise business and continue to manage it. I am open to this matter. In fact, I pay more attention to other industrial companies."
In fact, it is not easy for the American International Shipping Company to merge into the United Company. The United Company has its own shipping company, the Black Gold Shipping Company. However, the Black Gold Shipping Company is essentially a private armed group transformed from a slave hunting team. Their main task has nothing to do with transportation, but to protect the United Company.
Is it just more convenient to be affiliated with ocean transportation? Therefore, it is impossible for Black Gold Company to merge. Sheffield thinks it will lose money if it merges into a real shipping company. But on the other hand, it doesn't seem good to let the American International Shipping Company merge into Black Gold and turn it into an armed pirate group.
And if he did this, Sheffield would definitely kick Louisa Morgan out. If this woman from the Morgan family became familiar with everyone in the Black Gold Company, if something unexpected happened to the slave owner one day, he was afraid that someone would harm Anne because of the division of property.
Black Gold Company must be in her own hands. If she doesn't have time, she will listen to Mistress Arlington. Anne is not a descendant of a large business family born and raised in the United States, so she needs such a force to protect her own interests.
American International Shipping Company cannot be merged with Black Gold Transport Company, but other industrial companies can, and some of them are industries that United Corporation needs very much now, such as Gulf Sulphur Company, Copper Company and United Metal Carbide Company. After a certain reorganization, these companies are closely related to the business of United Corporation and will only bring about the growth of United Corporation.
This statement also gave Louisa Morgan a reassurance, and it sounded like "If you had told me earlier, I would have agreed to it."
Louisa Morgan stared at Sheffield. She now understood why Edith Rockefeller was with this man and had children for him. With such a style of being rich and powerful, few people could resist it.
"International Shipping Company has an estimated asset value of over 40 million US dollars." Louisa Morgan said blankly, "You don't care at all. Aren't you afraid that I might cook the books or something?"
"Is forty million a lot? Can you falsify the accounts and destroy all those registered ships? I should be more careful then." Sheffield said with a ridiculous expression, "The Morgan family is suspected of fraud. I believe this report is worth fifty million. Your family is a banker. You should understand how important public confidence is to a banker."
Therefore, there was nothing to worry about from the beginning to the end. Louisa Morgan's hostility towards slave owners was completely inexplicable. For an enterprise of this scale, integrity becomes extremely important, even more important than the law.
Otherwise, Sheffield didn't know that it was shameless to set up a good persona while watching his assets soar? In his previous life, he hated people who were worth tens of billions and always said that they were doing it for the good of consumers. But he was also learning to do this, and some people just fell for it.
So the slave owner pretended to be a scholar, talking about the food chain and plate tectonics. He pretended to be a scholar who had to inherit billions of dollars. But who could understand what was going on?
Sheffield was just over 30 years old, but he had already begun planning which of his children were more suitable for immigration, some going to Canada and some going to Australia, so that his descendants could support each other in different countries, form their own system, and deter challengers.
Even though he knew that the United States would be the world's most powerful country sooner or later, he still wanted to distribute his wealth to his descendants. As of the end of his memory in his previous life, the United States was still firmly controlled by capital, but who can guarantee that this situation will continue forever? Don't put all your eggs in one basket. This saying is always true.
Although public opinion and popular sentiment cannot absolutely dominate the political situation, they can affect a politician's vitality to a great extent. For this reason, whether it is a politician who is honest and loves the people, or an ambitious person who aims to make profits, they must possess a most basic talent, which is to manipulate public opinion and popular sentiment.
One hundred years later, class contradictions in the United States are still firmly suppressed, but as society stagnates, who can guarantee that it will never overturn? What if it overturns? These are all big problems.
"As long as the Anglo-American system exists, I will be the final producer of this system." Sheffield left New York and came to the factory in New Jersey, this time with Baekeland.
A large portion of the $2 million investment verbally agreed by the slave owner was converted into the value of the factory. Although these factories were actually owned by the Rockefeller family, they were later transferred to his name because of his relationship with Edith Rockefeller, but others did not know about it, especially Baekeland.
The inventor of plastics did not know that these former explosives factories were destined to be abandoned. However, after the plastics industry came into Sheffield's sight, these factories were considered for recycling. They were directly converted into a $2 million investment.
What a happy thing ignorance is. Baekeland, who was kept in the dark, was very satisfied with everything in front of him. From the moment he applied for a patent for plastic, he began to be plagued by misfortune.
When he was already in despair, Sheffield's appearance was like a ray of hope for Baekeland's life. He didn't know whether God existed or not, but Sheffield undoubtedly appeared at the critical moment and became God's messenger in Baekeland's eyes.
After that, all the bad luck was gone, and the plastic factory that had been hard to raise funds to build appeared in front of us at an astonishing speed under the care of the king of the emerging industry. Everything turned around because of this straight figure in front of us.
Baekeland didn't know his misfortune, which was actually brought about by this straight figure, and he would never know the inside story.
"Mr. Baekeland, are you satisfied with the six factories?" Sheffield asked with a hypocritical smile. Actually, there were originally seven factories, but one was blown up to frame the DuPont family. But the slave owner felt that it was enough now.
"Mr. William, this is all because of you. If it weren't for you, I might still be involved in lawsuits. I really hope that one day we can change this long, ineffective and torturous litigation." Baekeland was moved and expressed his sincere gratitude to Sheffield.
How could that be possible? Would lawyers still make money? Baekeland's wish was doomed to be impossible to achieve. As time went by, the litigation procedures in the United States would only become more lengthy, ineffective, and torturous.
"I hope your wish will come true!" Sheffield hooked his finger as he spoke. Attorney Pat behind him handed over a contract and the business license of United Plastics, and handed it to Baekeland, saying, "Sign it, Mr. Baekeland. From today on, this plastic kingdom will be the starting point of your career. You will be the CEO of United Plastics and my partner."
Baekeland wrote with great vigor and energy. Seeing this, Sheffield smiled with a barely perceptible smile and exclaimed, "It feels so good to be able to promote the progress of the times."
