Chapter 85 Everything is ready
"The celebrities present here may not know me, but they all know you. Please control your emotions, Miss Edith!" Sheffield's face was as straight as if it had been ironed. "I will just walk away and I won't hear what they say. But this will have an impact on your reputation. The name Rockefeller has both advantages and disadvantages. You should know how many gossips are about you. Otherwise, how would I know that you are the First Lady of Chicago?"
Although Edith Rockefeller's womanly retort made him look a little embarrassed, Sheffield still spoke reasonably. He knew that the daughter of the Rockefeller family was not easy to get along with, but he still communicated calmly.
Sheffield has always been very patient in this regard, just like his understanding of other things, he maintains a neutral mindset. Unless someone really has a character flaw, anyone can communicate.
But this does not mean that Sheffield has no temper. If he is challenged in some areas that he values very much, he does not mind hurting his opponent. He may not make money, but he must vent his anger.
Sheffield, who was a little drunk, left his seat and went to a balcony to get some fresh air. He turned around and said helplessly, "Why are you here again? Can you consider the impact of public opinion? You are already married!"
"You are so young and still have a childish look on your face, but why do you speak like an old man? When you look at me, it's not like you are looking at a woman. Am I not beautiful?" Before Sheffield could speak, Edith Rockefeller said first, biting her red lips.
"Because there are many more important things than whether you are beautiful or not! I am telling the truth, you are very beautiful, and much more mature than Anne, especially um..." I am not beautiful? Sheffield asked himself, this is not the first time he has heard this question, the last person who asked this question was just sent to college by him.
A pair of undisguised eyes swept across Edith Rockefeller's fertile parts, and the meaning was very clear. "But you are someone else's wife. I will not do anything impulsive. A calm mind is very important. Even if I kill someone, I will definitely think carefully before doing so."
How can a good person engage in human trafficking? How can a good person manipulate food prices and force ordinary farmers into bankruptcy so that they can annex their land?
"But you touched me!" Edith Rockefeller asked relentlessly, "You even sniffed me just now on purpose, and I saw it. Don't say it was just an unintentional act."
"I was wrong. If you have time, go to Texas. I will arrange everything for you there as long as you ask!" Sheffield sighed softly. So that was the matter. He just saw that those playboys were pretending too much, so he did such a thing to show his true nature.
But what's the problem? If a group of people are pretending to be gentlemen, can't I pretend to be a gangster? That doesn't make sense.
"I'm John's sister. If I tell him what you did to me, the cooperation between Rockefeller and Sheffield will end!" Edith Rockefeller said in a barely detectable voice, "I won't give you the patent of International Harvester Company. Even if my husband goes out to have an affair, he won't tolerate his wife being bullied. All men are like this!"
"Are you thinking about your husband now? That's what you just said! Besides..." Sheffield twisted his neck and curled his lips, "Do you think I'm afraid of him? Everyone on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean knows what my family used to do. Thousands of black money employees are people who live on the edge of a knife. My grandmother and my aunt are both ruthless characters. They are your role models, so don't threaten me, it's useless!"
"You're here, William! Edith is here too!" Rockefeller Jr. came over with a calm expression, looked at the two of them and said happily, "Edith rarely chats so happily with others."
How can you tell that we are having a great time chatting? Sheffield glanced at Edith Rockefeller and said with a smile, "In fact, it is quite interesting to always stay in these big cities and listen to William talk about the scenery of Texas. It actually made me a little interested in the pastoral scenery. Let's not talk about this. You are partners, you chat!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Edith Rockefeller walked away, twisting her slender waist, leaving Sheffield speechless in the wind. He said dryly, "Do you believe what Edith said?"
"I don't believe it, but she is my sister, I have to pretend to believe it!" Little Rockefeller said with a smile, "She has a bit of a weird personality, it's good enough that she doesn't bully others. Of course, we won't mention this matter. I just talked with friends about the patent bill, and many people agreed. When the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives propose legislative bills, the two houses will accept them and put them on the agenda. After cross-examination, there will be no problem at that time, unless the president vetoes the bill. If it is passed by two-thirds of the members, it will take effect without the president's approval."
"I think President Cleveland should not veto a bill that everyone likes, and it will benefit many people. Of course, we still have to be fully prepared and strive for one-time passage. In fact, there are voices representing small and medium-sized businesses within the Democratic Party, and there are also voices representing the Republican Party. This is a way to gain prestige. I personally do not blame these congressmen, but there are exceptions. Normally, we can turn a blind eye, but if they dare to jump out and stop it this time, they will not be spared!" Sheffield and Rockefeller Jr. walked back to the hall side by side, chatting as they walked, "There is a time to speak for the citizens. We are almost unable to survive, and the citizens will be even worse!"
Leeks must be harvested when they grow. The only difference is whether it is harvested by domestic capital or foreign capital. If it is harvested by foreign capital, it will weaken one's own country and strengthen the enemy, which is a very unprofitable thing. Harvesting by domestic capital can avoid this.
As I said, there is no way to not be harvested. You can only choose to be harvested domestically or abroad. Leeks cannot choose not to be harvested.
"So, we don't need two-thirds of the members to pass it. We only need to obtain a majority in both the Senate and the House, and then submit it to the President for approval. Then the new patent bill can be implemented." Rockefeller Jr. nodded and said, "We can pass the bill within a day when no one can react."
"So when does it start?" Sheffield nodded in understanding, "How many supporters do we have?"
"I need to send a telegram to my father. It will be quick!" said Rockefeller Jr. "What about you?"
"I'll send a telegram home too!" Sheffield agreed. Now they had to start the process of amending the Patent Act immediately. Everything was ready.
I thought everyone was a history buff with deep convictions, but when Edith Rockefeller showed up, oh my god, ugh…
