My America - Chapter 523
“Now the old man of Coleman Dupont is in anger, and he has torn his face with the boss, then it is estimated that trouble will come soon,” Jesra was still the expressionless death, his tone was dull. Said, “The boss should prepare in advance to avoid being caught by surprise in the future.”
“Unprepared? I don’t have any other advantages for this person, but there is only one thing. I can stay. As long as I feel necessary, I can not go out at Oak Manor for a year.” Sheffield smiled and put down the pen in his hand. , Tapping on the table with two fingers, saying, “So for me, there is not much more than him, and there is not enough of him. He will come as soon as he comes, just like an oriental saying, soldiers will block The water will cover up, and I ’ll just give him a trick. “
“The boss must not be too optimistic, I suggest you be cautious,” Jesra said seriously. “I think, recently New Orleans and Arlington have improved their defenses to see if there is anything left. The loopholes, after all, the DuPont family has never been a model in terms of conduct. If they make a fuss in this regard, would n’t you be very passive? “
Despite the obscurity of the bodyguard, Sheffield understood what he meant. The manager of the black gold company was reminding himself that the DuPont family had a disgraceful start, controlling national land sales, intervening in the Civil War, Later, military management was implemented in Delaware. It was a very shocking event to casually take out one of these things. The DuPont family based on this tradition may be really dizzy for a while.
But what to say, Sheffield is not worried at all, because while he accuses the Dupont family, he is actually accusing himself, not all, but basically what the Dupont family has done, the Sheffield family seems to have done similar things. Everyone speaks with guns.
The DuPont family sent people directly to New Orleans or Arlington? Do n’t go to Arlington anymore. A regiment of the Texas National Guard has been stationed near Arlington all year round. Coming to New Orleans, there are not many black gold members near Oak Manor, but there are also thousands of people who want to behead themselves? This is absolutely impossible.
In fact, to be fair, when facing an opponent like the Du Pont family in some ways, it is not without benefits. The advantage is that because both sides do too much bastards, when they are squinting, they can almost guess what the other party might do.
It’s like two murderers in a murder case who chose to live in seclusion in a city at the same time. The residents of this city don’t know that the two are murderers, but both sides know each other’s history and have a strong defense against each other. Who dares to shake this kind of thing out, it is to seek death.
An assassination is unlikely to be successful, and there is no such environment in the face. Even if the United States is free again, there is no freedom to let two well-known enterprises in the country come to a civil war in the corporate world.
So the risk of violent resolution cannot be said to be non-existent, but as long as Sheffield does not go out at Oak Manor, he does not believe that other forces besides the military can come in. As for Arlington Base Camp, it is much safer than Oak Manor.
The possibility of fighting in the legal profession, at least in this case, is still far more than the possibility of using an open flame to fight a battle. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that one party took a risk after the failure of the legal profession. It will be guarded against. Risk and gold coexist with opportunities. Now the risk is not big.
Sheffield didn’t seem to treat the Dupont family, did he just talk about the marriage tradition of Dupont’s close relatives in the newspaper? The first premise is whether this is true or not, this is not fake news. If this is the real situation, why not let it go? The DuPont family is so domineering?
As mentioned above, Sheffield wanted to use the DuPont family, King Louis XVI, who originally served in the motherland, to assess the current situation, “Nothing today!”
“Maybe the boss is right!” Jesra listened to some of his boss’s opinions and felt like it made sense.
“It’s not possible, it’s the basic rules of a free society.” Sheffield’s wise expression of a child said, “The law is always different for different classes. Our judges are good at convicting small people to deter. , Make minor crimes for the big guys, and make them look back. So you can see that the Dupont family has fought hard against all kinds of forces that are not as good as their own. Are you ready? How about their explosives, why not blow up the Rockefeller family factory? “
Although they are all convictions, the ordinary people are convicted, and the order for the big people is a formulated order. It is just right to order a harmless and elegant, just right range. Give you a chance to correct!
When the market was full of fake news, Pierre Dupont felt something was wrong in the Delaware chemical plant. The latest batch of saltpeter should have arrived three days ago. Almost immediately he thought that someone was there. This is not to blame Pierre DuPont for being aware of the fact that the price war launched by the United Company was not the first time. During the term of President Roosevelt, the two sides started a price war, and finally it was impossible.
During that cycle, the transportation network had never had a problem, so this time when he felt something was wrong, Pierre Dupont did not think about the transportation route. After the raw materials should arrive but did not arrive, he felt that Things seemed unexpected. Like the president of a future United States, this is not flu.
This cannot be blamed on the slave owner. The last price war was during President Roosevelt ’s presidency. First of all, President Roosevelt was the President of the Republican Party. Although Sheffield can use Alice Roosevelt to knock on the side, the fact is that he ca n’t speak. It is far inferior to the relationship between the DuPont family and most important Republicans, not to mention that Coleman Dupont is a member of the Republican National Committee.
Even the environment is good for the DuPont family and bad for Sheffield. And President Roosevelt is still a strong president, even if the general means can’t alarm this president, but once he finds a way on the transportation network, it will touch the nerves of this strong president. Know that the North Securities Company, who is making an idea on the transportation network, finally is What ends.
So in the final analysis of the last price war, Sheffield did not get an environment that was easy for collusion between officials and businessmen. On the contrary, the DuPont family had this environment, and they did not dare to come to the Delaware noose during his tenure. operating.
If you want to use your brain on the railway and a series of transportation networks, you must have a political environment that is beneficial to the entire United States. This is exactly what Sheffield lacked during Roosevelt ’s tenure. The current political environment is completely different. The Democratic Party People are now in charge of the federal government, and even most states are under the control of the Democrats. A railway artery traverses so many places. Even if it is insurance, using the brains in the state controlled by the Democratic Party can cut off DuPont. Raw material supply line.
Knowing the serious situation, Pierre Dupont first called his subordinates and asked, “How long can our local inventory still support?”
“Less than two months!” After listening to this answer, Pierre Dupont breathed a sigh of relief. The matter had not yet evolved to an unmanageable level. It would still be saveable to find a solution within two months. And even if the opponent does not let go, he can mobilize the raw materials he needs from other countries within two months.
If the raw materials are shipped from Africa by ship, two months are enough. The current situation is definitely not enough for the DuPont family to bow their heads. What the Rockefeller family could not do at the beginning, the United Company can never do.
Pierre Dupont is also brewing his own counterattack, and the trial to sue the United Company for abnormal competition must be held immediately. First, the case law was used to settle the matter. With this foundation, in solving the problem of the transportation network, Sheffield was forced to close.
It has to be said that although there is no immediate effect, the problems in the transportation network have caused Pierre DuPont to feel the pressure. This time the joint company’s trouble is more dangerous than the last price war. It can even be compared with that of the Rockefeller family.
The Rockefeller family was finally threatened by the antitrust law, and Pierre DuPont raised the idea of replicating history. Even the Rockefeller family had not resorted to the law at that time, the Rockefeller family had already collapsed. Since that It ’s okay at the moment, it should be okay now.
The trial of the DuPont family suing Sheffield United in Delaware began in such an environment. It took more than thirty hours from the perception of the transportation of raw materials to the court hearing, and less than two days. From this point, it proved the DuPont family’s detached status in Delaware.
Seeing the lawyer who defended Sheffield United entered the court, the unknown young face, the plaintiff manager who represented the DuPont family sneered, and the other party is also a wise person. It seems that the result has been thought of, and even the struggle is not struggling. .
After a period of regular questioning and counter-questioning, after the two parties stated their defenses, the Delaware court almost immediately came up with the verdict, announcing that Sheffield United constituted unfair competition and DuPont won.
