Chapter 585 My Morgan Stanley
"For example, in Australia, where you have a large area, you can live a good life without much effort. Even the United States cannot compare with you in this regard." Sheffield spoke in a sincere tone. Seeing Benjamin Buck nod, he continued, "The basic conditions in Australia alone are good enough, but you still need to do two things. Control the population size. From this point of view, xenophobia is not a bad thing, and you have tried to stop it, but failed. Or our two countries need to cooperate in quality inspection. If we do these two things, it will become a problem."
Deep down, Sheffield didn't think there was anything wrong with the White Australia Policy. In his previous life, he thought that the so-called diversity was a stupid policy, and he would never think of taking action in this regard in this life.
Since he is now a citizen of the United States, he should contribute to the hegemony of the United States. He cannot do such a thing as eating from a bowl and then cursing when he puts the bowl down.
Even if Chinese people are among the victims of xenophobia, Sheffield will not object. Australia was not taken away from China. Since no one owes anyone anything, there is naturally no need for anyone to give in to anyone.
Can xenophobia be related to free trade? At least in Australia, this is not a problem. We can be xenophobic towards Asians, but we can trade freely with Europeans. These two points can be achieved at the same time.
There was no such thing as political correctness in the early 20th century. The whole world was full of imperialism. What was good for me was the goal pursued by all countries. Free trade was good, so was free trade. Xenophobia was good, so was xenophobia. There was no such thing as fairness. Sheffield felt that this era was really good. When he thought of Louisa Morgan and Edith Rockefeller, this feeling became even stronger.
"Whether it's China, Japan or the Philippines, as long as the local rich people are willing to pay, I can have my men kidnap a few Australians to vent their anger." Sheffield put his hands in his pockets and discussed the possibility with amazing honesty in front of Benjamin Buck, an Australian. "Everything has a value. Although it's a bit straightforward, if Australia is like Egypt, with nothing but sand in the country, what's the point of you Australians shouting that blood is thicker than water to the British and the United States?"
There is no such thing as an indestructible friendship in this world. It is nothing more than the size of the interests. If the United States wanted to shrink in the future, it was opposed by many domestic forces. It was not because of the international responsibility these forces talked about. It was because the economic scale of the United States was built up by exploiting other countries.
If we lose South Korea, we will lose 50 million people that can be controlled. If we lose Japan, we will lose 100 million people. What if these countries become enemies after the contraction? Wouldn't that increase the power of the other side?
If one country after another gives up, the United States will eventually become an ordinary country. If Sheffield lives in the United States a hundred years later and is still in the current class, there is no point in shrinking, because conscription does not mean you have to die. What is the meaning of a world that does not allow the United Corporation to exploit? Which country dares to ask the United States to withdraw its troops? Nuclear bombs will hit its face.
Louisa Morgan finished teasing the kangaroo and walked over slowly. Just as Benjamin Buck was leaving, she asked with a smile, "What did you say to this Australian?"
"To be honest, this world should be ruled by big companies like us, and it should be ruled forever. Whoever disobeys should be killed." Sheffield pinched Louisa Morgan's cheek and said with a smile, "Our wealth should be passed down from generation to generation. My sons, grandsons, and any of my descendants should live a life of luxury."
"What a wonderful blueprint." Louisa Morgan did not avoid the man's caress, but enjoyed it very much. "The lovely thing about you is that many people think this way but dare not say it out loud. Even if they accidentally reveal their true thoughts, they will immediately deny it. You, at least, do not hide your thoughts from those close to you."
"That's why so many women love me. I'm actually very annoyed by this kind of admiration," Sheffield boasted shamelessly. "No one knows the future better than me. I even hope that my son will become the richest man in every country."
As a person, you still have to have dreams. Although the slave owner is essentially a person without dreams, his dream is the American dream plus his own dream. The American dream can be realized, and no one can deny that it is a good dream.
Sheffield just wanted to add a little of his own color to the American dream. When everyone is dreaming, he hopes to have the right to watch others dream, and this right should preferably belong only to his own family.
"What about our son? Which country is he the richest man in?" Louisa Morgan looked at Sheffield's playful eyes and asked shyly.
"That depends on what industry he likes. Some countries are good at different things because of their basic conditions." Sheffield spread his hands and answered Louisa Morgan's question very seriously. "For example, Canada. If I had a son there, it could become a marine giant and the largest supplier to the timber industry. This is because Canada's fishery and forestry resources are strong all over the world. As for the financial industry, only London can be compared with New York."
The slave owner spoke out without hiding his words, which attracted Edith Rockefeller. After hearing this, she said in dissatisfaction, "Can't my son not immigrate?"
"Sure, I have more than one son!" Sheffield raised his eyebrows and said, "Our family has always been very democratic, it's just that there are a few more candidates. If little William likes to stay in the country, I will give him all the shares of the steel company in the future, but they must be managed by the family foundation, otherwise the wealth will be diluted as the number of descendants increases."
Although Sheffield was far from being old, he was not averse to discussing inheritance issues. He would not mistreat any woman's offspring. Why did they follow him? Of course, it was for love, but it was definitely for something other than love.
Therefore, every slave owner would find a way to take care of the descendants, but the core industry would still be left to Anne's children. He hoped that his descendants would disperse to different countries to support each other, rather than gather together to fight for the inheritance.
This is the family business version of the Five Eyes Alliance. From now on, no one will be able to have any bad thoughts about the Sheffield family unless he can eradicate all the branches of the Sheffield family scattered around the world at one go.
Foundations are all named after individuals. Doing charity can shape a good personal image, earn personal fame, sponsor the world's political, economic, and cultural elites and various organizations, form a huge network of contacts, and after success, obtain good returns and form family political power. What's more, the tax on the foundation's investment income is extremely low.
"I will set up a foundation with my own name after I return home!" Louisa Morgan nodded. Ever since the American International Shipping Company she managed was used as a bargaining chip, Miss Morgan knew that family businesses were unreliable, and she had to find a way to get her share now.
She was wondering how Edith Rockefeller, a woman who attached so much importance to her family name and even quarreled with her ex-husband over it, could be so devoted to the Sheffield family after being with Sheffield. She used to think it was the power of love, but now she realizes that in addition to the power of love, this man also gave too much, enough for any woman to resist.
"I personally suggest that the foundation you set up deposit its money in the Union Bank." Sheffield gave his own suggestion, pointing at Edith Rockefeller and said, "The donations from the Edith Foundation are deposited in the Union Bank."
"In the financial field, our Morgan family is more professional." Louisa Morgan thought for a moment and said, "With our family's accumulation in this area, we can maximize the benefits of the fund. Not only can we quickly expand the scale, but we can even shoulder some of the responsibilities of an investment bank."
"You can set up your own bank. I can even give you a name. How about Morgan Stanley?" When Sheffield heard Louisa Morgan's idea, he couldn't help but have evil thoughts in his heart and took the initiative to propose.
Morgan Stanley was an investment bank established by J.P. Morgan Jr. to circumvent federal law after the Great Depression, which led to the Morgan family controlling two major banking systems.
Since Louisa Morgan is also a member of the Morgan family, the daughter of Morgan and the sister of Morgan Jr., it is not strange for her to set up a bank. It can also be regarded as shouldering responsibility for the family.
"What a great name! But I don't have any money." Louisa Morgan instinctively liked the name Morgan Stanley when she heard it. It seemed that there was no name more suitable than this one. She decided to register the company immediately after returning to China!
"If you don't have money, you can use someone to pay off your debts first." Sheffield said magnanimously, "Given our current relationship, who else can I help if I don't help you? You were born to work hard, and you live for women."
Before returning home, Sheffield received a telegram from Arlington in Melbourne. The telegram was sent from the headquarters of the League of Nations in Melbourne because of a strike by oil workers in Texas.
Edith Rockefeller was very concerned when she heard that the oil workers were on strike. She could not take it lightly, whether it was from Sheffield or the Rockefeller family. She asked, "How did Anne deal with it?"
"Don't worry, just follow the process. First we need some scabs to cooperate. We need to break up this strike from within. This is not the first time it has happened, so don't panic." Sheffield grabbed Edith Rockefeller's hand and comforted her, "I got a telegram saying that there has been progress. If you go against us, there will be no good end."
