Chapter 70: America
Your hobbies are only hobbies when you have money, but when you don’t have money, your hobbies are just one of the culprits that drag you down. If Coubertin had no money, the travel expenses to travel around the world would have made him helpless. He would have been working hard long ago. Why would he call for the revival of the Olympic Games?
"Since I have a connection with your family, if you want to come to the United States, you can get meticulous care." Sheffield finally sobered up a little from the aftereffects of the cigar. Now he was quite sharp-eyed and could think of a lot of benefits at once, really a lot. He agreed very straightforwardly and asked Anne to give a positive reply to Paris.
Sheffield's eyes were rolling around, and the subtle expression on his face was very strange, which aroused Anne's strong interest. After this period of contact, she was sure that the other party had bad intentions. She said softly, "Why do you have such an expression? What do you want to do?"
"I want to use this to show my patriotism! No one is more patriotic than me!" Sheffield stretched out his finger and pointed at the tip of Anne's nose, saying calmly, "It's really like a pillow is given to me when I'm sleepy. God helps me!"
In fact, the Sheffield family faced many problems, and it was difficult to sort them out at once. For example, the long-term ambiguous relationship with Britain, and although it was the largest landowner in the United States, its industrial layout was not strong. Now it wanted to transform, and all the conditions were in place, but it needed a legitimate excuse to enter the industrial field.
This can certainly be achieved by cooperating with the powerful Rockefeller to form an indestructible alliance to cope with all challenges. This is of great benefit to both parties, but in areas where Rockefeller cannot provide help, they still need to rely on their own hard work.
Although you can rely on your strong strength to defeat all your competitors despite the criticism from the public, which is also the only way for many wealthy people who started their careers in the United States, there are other ways. What Sheffield wants is that I can exploit you at will, but you can't scold me. Even if you want to scold me, there is no way for you to scold me.
There is one thing that Rockefeller Jr. said that was absolutely correct, and that was the dark history of the Sheffield family, which was far darker than that of other families of the same level. They really made money by trading in labor, and there was really no way to justify it once it was dug up.
In order to prevent his dark history from being dug up, and to avoid having to pay for the hard work of his fathers, Sheffield must be well prepared for anti-explosion before he can really make a big move. Only after he is well prepared can he start.
This can be seen from the reputation of two Internet companies in later generations. The importance of controlling media opinions. If Alibaba did not have dozens of media and controlled Weibo, how could the remarks such as "996 Blessings", "Military Flag Actors", "Qigong Masters", "Fakes are Better than Real Things", "I Will Never Make Games and Set Up a Game Department", "Fixing Fresh Graduates", etc., have not made any splash?
These self-contradictory and even more serious problems, if they were on Penguin, they would be criticized a thousand times. Penguin is just using games to make money, not holding a knife to your neck to make you spend money. They have been criticized for so many years just because of the game. They may not know how Shanda and Giant were eating before Penguin. Any of these game companies that were defeated by Penguin is no less than a pig farm.
Penguin supports the comics industry, produces animations, makes the novel pie bigger, and plans music copyrights, but no one praises it. It has become politically correct to criticize Penguin. When it comes to Alibaba, the future, pattern, and vision are all mentioned, which seem high-sounding but are vague.
Penguin Charity is several times the size of Alibaba, but few people know about it. Alibaba has planted tens of thousands of hectares of trees, and its presence has almost squeezed out the Three North Shelterbelt Project. Penguin's plagiarism is real plagiarism, while Alibaba's plagiarism is just innovation, which is not normal at all. In Sheffield's view, this is the difference in controlling public opinion.
"If I have to pay them every time I do something and want the major newspapers to praise me, won't it be endless?" Sheffield rubbed his chin with his hand, his eyes fell on Anne's cheek, and he looked at her with lustful eyes, "If I do something bad, I have to pay them PR fees to cover their mouths. In the long run, this money can be saved, right?"
"What are you going to do?" Annie covered her chest with her hands. She was delighted and thought that the other party had come to her senses, so she pretended to be serious and said.
"Nothing!" Sheffield groaned as he half-lying on the sofa with a comminuted fracture. "We can give Paris a formal reply now. Do you need a trophy? I can donate in my personal name, which is also a contribution to the Olympic cause. But I need to ask Rockefeller Jr. for his opinion on this matter. I can't forget my closest partner. The two companies are ready to discuss cooperation in Atlanta."
Sheffield was not prepared to eat alone. Even in the matter of patriotism, he was prepared to share with Rockefeller Jr. and jointly bear the impact of this matter. This is definitely a positive impact. In peacetime, sports are war. Sports are the most cohesive activities. Now the citizens of the United States need such a booster to forget the pressure from Britain outside and the economic depression inside.
In fact, it is better to use war to divert conflicts. If it were the United States a hundred years later, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. Just find a blind bastard and use the iron fist of democracy to attack. But it is not possible now. Compared with the iron fist of imperialism in the hands of Britain, the iron fist of democracy in the United States is nothing.
"Little Rockefeller?" Anne couldn't understand what Sheffield was thinking. What did this have to do with the oil seller?
"You don't understand. Besides Standard Oil, the Rockefellers value medicine the most!" Sheffield said with a dumb smile, "In order for the athletes of the United States to achieve better results, Rockefeller's help is indispensable."
Later generations always combined these big families in various countries. DuPont was famous for having no bottom line, and Morgan focused on the financial field. The descendants of the Vanderbilt family lived a luxurious life and became the topic of conversation after dinner. Rockefeller's summary was that making money bought life, not only to be rich enough to rival a country, but also to live a hundred years.
Whether old Rockefeller lives to be a hundred years old or not actually has little impact on the working people of the United States. But if the United States can achieve stunning results in the Olympics, interest in medicine will soar.
Everyone knows that America is famous for its strong will despite its physical disability. Half of the asthma patients fight for their country. They can definitely be called strong-willed despite their physical disability. What? You actually said that athletes in America take banned drugs? Only the Soviet Union and other countries take banned drugs. We Americans are really sick and need to take drugs.
Aren't you moved by a group of disabled people participating in the Olympic Games, a stage that only normal people can participate in?
Please add some votes to the collection and recommendation. Alas! Actually, I don't want to ask for it. I'm being chased too closely. I don't like to ask for collection after the chapter title. But this trick really works. I'm being chased too closely.
