My America

Since the trip to Europe, Sheffield has really been investing till now, buying patents, acquiring steel mills, and digging into the Tesla team. All aspects are spending money. So far, there is no meaning to return the capital. But all of these must be done. This is not a sloppy approach. There is definitely no point in saying that there is no cost-effectiveness.

But if the serious industry is done well, it will be much faster to make money than black income. No black income can be more profitable than standard oil, so temporary investment is completely acceptable. Even Galeries Lafayette has no objection.

And this time, he finally occupies a comprehensive advantage in the field at home, surrendering Keane, and putting this official official card that has been in Central and South America for decades, into his own pocket. Without the existence of Sheffield, Keane will become the top presence in the United States by relying on United Fruit Company. Although it is still impossible to compare with Rockefeller, Dupont, Morgan, etc., it will also become a giant and have its own influence.

Keen's road to giants, although it only occupies a branch of agricultural products, has become the emperor of many banana republics for decades, and some days have been more comfortable than the real giants.

But now, in the Banana Republic of Central and South America, their emperor has been replaced by Sheffield, who is more powerful and more powerful. As for Mr. Keane, he should have shined in history, and he can compete with the East India Company. The people who are on the same level can now be described as half-started and half-broken.

Although Keane was detained in Houston, Sheffield did not treat the former banana as emperor. If the service is softened, everyone will be friends, and friends will naturally be treated as friends. It is the right thing to make the business bigger and stronger. As for the unpleasant things in the past, it is because Keane is not him anyway, so I will not mention it.

Together with Keane's stock railway and the assets of its affiliated companies, all of them are counted. After a new round of calculation and evaluation, the new United Fruit Company was established, the moment Keane wrote his name. Sheffield took the first step in his own career, no need to wonder if he was dreaming.

The new United Fruit Company, if calculated by a single shareholder, Keen has become the second largest shareholder, theoretically a very heavy role, but the other shareholders are all from the south, many shareholders are returned from Brazil The plantation owner is also a friend of the Sheffield family decades ago.

So if Sheffield had to make Keane a dividend rubber stamp, there were actually many ways.

Keane apparently did not want such an outcome, but the other shareholders were indeed friends of the Sheffield family. This is an immutable fact. Almost immediately, if he could n’t beat him, he joined his thoughts and occupied Keane ’s mind. Must reflect their own value.

"Master William, I have an idea that lingers in my heart for a long time." Keane looked at Sheffield without false colors, found an opportunity, and made his own suggestion.

In recent days, Sheffield is a bit smug and always smiles so her face is a bit stiff, so she can only stretch her face to make her sour cheeks more comfortable, but in Keane ’s eyes, Sheffield was not a brilliant image. If he had heard the Eastern dialect, he should be able to remember what Taishan collapsed in front of him.

"Now that we are all partners, Mr. Keane can put forward any attention, all for the company's development and growth!" Sheffield's tone is full of politeness, no longer has the momentum to swallow Keane, 獠The teeth have been deeply hidden.

In total, plus the fruit of the previous freighter, as well as the losses in M ​​& A and reorganization, Keane ’s loss must be more than one million US dollars, and it is not known whether it is two million US dollars. Normally, Keane will be grieving, and maybe he will think about it. But thinking about it more, the friendship of the capitalists can be far stronger than that of the proletariat.

And Keane is not a behemoth like Standard Petroleum and DuPont. Keene feels that he is a member of an upper class society, then it depends on how old this upper class society is. He thinks that it is just that he thinks it does not mean that Sheffield thinks so. , The opponent does not have the ability to bite him.

As Sheffield thought, Keane now only wants to recover the losses from other places. In the past few days, he knew that Sheffield was busy with the electrical company, as well as his own farm, steel plant and military factory. What time is it at United Fruit Company? Since Sheffield does not have this time, he feels that he can do it for him. Of course, first of all, he must forget the fact that he has suffered losses and was annexed to the company, and gain the trust of these Dixie shareholders. Trust is especially important.

The company that these Dixie plantation owners united together is a irresistible existence for Keane, and now he also wants to understand that sooner or later this day will come, Morgan cannot support himself and confront these professional plantation owners in a small industry . So when I heard Sheffield ’s interest, I knew what I said, “Actually, I always wanted to acquire Boston Fruit Company, but I did n’t make a trip because of insufficient funds. Now the reorganization of the banana company and United Fruit Company has been completed. The timing of the fruit company's acquisition is ripe. "

"Oh?" Sheffield looked at Keane and nodded. "No problem. This will make us more powerful. As for expanding to plantations in other countries, you don't have to worry. We are better at this kind of thing than you." Many partners have to find places to expand plantations. "

"Thank you Master William for your support!" His banana business was acquired, but Keane believes that it is not without benefits. For example, many original ideas can be realized early, but he is not comforting himself, but what can he do if he doesn't think so. Things have come to an end.

At the end of 1895, Sheffield, who was constantly spending money, finally ushered in the harvest season. After the economic depression and the suppression of the United Kingdom, the United States finally got rid of the previous haze and everything began to develop in a good direction.

After a short time, good news came from Washington. The House of Representatives and the House of Representatives unanimously passed a resolution to increase the military budget. This means that since the Civil War, the United States has not been stronger than Brazil and Argentina for a long time. The era of the 30,000 army fighting the world.

After the care of the British empire, the world overlord, the human lighthouse has finally entered a new era. Since then, Monroeism is no longer a slogan that is regarded as a fart by European countries. It has become more and more real.

The direct beneficiaries of this military expansion are naturally Sheffield and DuPont. The Sheffield family has twice the share of DuPont. With the help of the Rockefeller family, the already weak DuPont company seems to be increasingly unimportant.

Keane also turned into the second largest shareholder of United Fruit Company. With the eager expectations of many shareholders, he left Houston and went to Boston to start a new round of acquisitions.
