"That's right, for the British, to bring down the local textile industry in India! Controlling this huge market of hundreds of millions of people is more important than anything else for Britain now after the Industrial Revolution! Sheffield felt that the girl in front of him was very smart, and unconsciously said a few more words, "So as part of the destruction of India by British industry, the British, whether they are the government or the capitalists, will not worry too much about the price with us suppliers, especially when there is no northern Yankee as a competitor......"

Annabelle's eyes flashed at Sheffield, even many slave owners who had supplied raw materials to Britain for many years did not have this understanding of Sheffield, considering that Sheffield and herself were the same age, this opinion was even more precious, the boy in front of her in Annabelle's eyes The evaluation skyrocketed, almost comparable to herself, "In this way, our hands are also indirectly stained with the blood of the Indian people......"

Having said that, Annabelle's face remained unchanged, and it was clear that she did not put the blood of the Indian people on her body. ▲ ∴ If she had this kind of thought, she would have sympathized with the black slaves in the slave market a long time ago. Since there was no sympathy for the black slaves, the people of India, thousands of miles away, would not let Annabelle take it to heart.

"Although a single cotton thread can be easily torn off, as long as it is used well, it can also hang the world!" Sheffield said in a tone of an ugly slave owner. Before the discovery of oil, cotton was a very important commodity in the economy, and with the support of cotton, the British textile industry could quickly complete the industrial revolution. And cotton is different from grain, tobacco and sugarcane, and the products made from cotton can be used by people to achieve almost uncapped growth, and it is not like the kind of thing that has side effects.

Sheffield's memory of the collapse of cotton began in the seventies of the nineteenth century, a long time before the Civil War ended. Therefore, there are still 20 years of prosperity in cotton to grasp, Sheffield is not worried at all, and it is also a loss that Sheffield was learning these things in the first place, originally to criticize the bourgeoisie, but I didn't expect to use them here.

"Let's go directly to the head of the Chamber of Commerce! It's a bit of a mess here! "Annabelle herself is a girl who likes to be quiet, but because she has just talked very devotedly, she ignores the environment here, and after the topic is over, she is naturally a little unhappy with the noise here, and the face-to-face conversation with the British as a VIP is her accustomed style of doing things.

"Huh? Okay, okay ......" Sheffield's face changed slightly, and she was led by a girl to see the market, this kind of experience is really rare, and Annabelle is obviously very familiar with this place, as if her time is not spent in class, but in various venues since childhood.

"There is a VIP room upstairs, in fact, with your Sheffield family's property, old Mr. Sheffield should be a frequent visitor here!" Annabelle said as she went upstairs, "But considering the style of old Mr. Sheffield, you don't know that the situation above should be!" ”

"What does this mean? Is there any difference in the situation upstairs? "To be honest, Sheffield is really the first time to see this kind of scene, not to mention it when I was in China, after being caught in the Soviet Union, I learned a bunch of messy things, but I didn't go through the sharpness of business, after all, the bulk items of the Eastern camp are all said by state-owned enterprises, and state-owned enterprises use the support of the state to confront Western private enterprises regardless of the cost, even if they know, it is impossible to use it here.

"Nothing different, just better upstairs and better service! A little consultation fee is required! Annabelle's words made Sheffield's face red, which obviously meant that old Sheffield was a miser, and maybe he was the only one of the big plantation owners in New Orleans who handled things downstairs himself, no wonder so many slave owners downstairs knew him......

"It seems that Daddy's reputation is not bad...... Sheffield laughed at himself awkwardly, "maybe that's why he was able to get to where he is today without roots!" ”

Annabelle is a good person to the end this time, and after coming upstairs, she introduced to the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, "This is the person in charge of the Sheffield family, and the old Mr. Sheffield is not at home at the moment, so now the affairs of the Sheffield family are handled by Edward!" Sheffield immediately shook hands with the other party, showing basic courtesy.

"The Sheffield family? Oh, and we've really met for the first time! My name is Jerry! Jerry obviously also knew that among the top plantation owners in New Orleans there was such a Grande style, but he didn't mind, "We will discuss the purchase price with the plantation owners in the southern states this year, and one thing is certain, no matter how much the gentlemen produce, we in England will eat it all!" We have been working together for so many years, and the British Empire is the best partner in terms of both financial resources and credit......"

Britain completely completed the industrial revolution 20 years ago, and the industrial revolution was just successful and immediately adjusted its policy, with the world's first production efficiency, swallowing the highest output of American cotton as raw materials, and attacking the Indian market that has become a colony, and the Indian textile industry has become a dumping ground for British factories in recent years. Of course, this was not enough, and the ultimate goal of the British was to completely destroy the textile industry in India.

"I believe Mr. Jerry should also know that the Yankee in the north is currently sparing no effort to promote industrialization!" Jerry's words did not make Sheffield fluttering, but revealed a message to the other party, "Actually, the Yankee is very dissatisfied with the raw materials we have been supplying to the UK, because of the tariff, there are many arguments between us!" ”

"All trade should be based on the premise of freedom, and free trade is the most scientific!" Jerry said nonsensibly, as if the country that had imposed heavy taxes on Indian textiles a few decades ago was not the British Empire. But Sheffield also understands very well that the world is the big fist. Especially now, the news of the whole world is still closed, and to put it mildly, how many people die every year in the factories of the North, they don't know it.

In fact, Sheffield did not expect some words from himself to make Britain raise the purchase price, and the meaning of these words was very simple, that is, he wanted to promote the American threat theory in front of the British! Let the British, who are still on the rise, know that there is already a potential adversary on the rise.

"Free trade is the best!" Sheffield, who regarded Jerry's words as a fart, said slowly, "Sometimes I really wish that the production capacity in the north could absorb our cotton, so that I don't have to quarrel about tariffs every day......

The reason why my USSR is gone? There are many reasons, not just because of Mao Mei! Well, thank you for your recommendation and collection, thank you!
