1855 United States Tycoon

As mentioned earlier, Scrooge's wedding has attracted much attention. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is also a very big thing. United States is a country that emphasizes so-called personal struggle. It is always promoting to the common people. As long as you are talented and work hard, you will have a bright future. Scrooge is such an example. It's like the editor always tells the writer that as long as you are talented and can update more than 10,000 a day, you may become a god-tier like Tang San. But in general, editors have a conscience than United States, because the editor said "possible", which is a possibility; but in the United States dream, it is intentional or unintentional to make you think that this is a "definite", it is a Inevitably, without telling you, the total number of climbs that society can give you is quite limited. Such propaganda is very beneficial. One of the biggest benefits is that once someone fails, his own reaction is that this is because I don’t have the skills and don’t work hard. Well, it’s me, not society, that’s wrong anyway. Attributing all mistakes to society is of course the second grade; but in the same way, to attribute all problems to oneself, thinking that the Sahara has not yet become a forest, it is all because of not working hard enough. This is also confused.

However, in many cases, education, publicity, and so on, are not all really meant to make people understand, and sometimes they are simply meant to make people confused. It's just that there is a contradiction here, that is, when we are working, we always hope that the people below are smart and capable enough, and when we divide the money, we hope that they are stupid and stupid enough. How can this be done? The way is to make them smart and capable, to teach them natural sciences, and to make them stupid enough, to let them learn some humanities.

In addition, Dorothea is a southerner, so her marriage with Scrooge has been hyped as a symbol of national reconciliation between the North and the South, so this wedding seems to have added another layer of significance.

Since Scrooge's wedding was so important, it was naturally troublesome to prepare. This is actually not to say that those messy etiquette, Scrooge and Dorothea are authentic United States people. In that era, in the eyes of Europeans, United States people were barbarians who didn't understand etiquette, but on the other hand, in the eyes of United States people, the Europeans' bullshit etiquette was purely pretending. Coupled with Scrooge's Protestant beliefs (if any), they also oppose the red tape of etiquette. Therefore, the groom and the bride do not need to conduct professional etiquette training.

But this does not mean that there will be few troublesome things. Determining the list of attending weddings and reviewing the wedding design are all troublesome things. The people of United States do not agree with excessive luxury, so it must be simple; but simple and simple, but it must not be simple to unearth the taste of buns, it must be simple and high-end atmosphere. Neither can it be lost in luxury, nor can it be lost in shabby. This balance is not easy to grasp.

However, there are many scholars in the Rockefeller College of the University of Cleveland who have studied this area. The think tank they formed has put forward several detailed plans for selection. In the end, Scrooge and Dorothea picked up a plan.

"Clark, can you still get an invitation letter?"

Clark, who was about to go out, turned his head and saw that it was own wife Mary.

"Who asked you to get the invitation letter again?" Clark smiled. As the manager and joint venture partner of McDonald's Foods, it would be easy to get an invitation letter to Scrooge's wedding.

"Steve and the others, their daughter is also fifteen years old this year. Isn't it time to go out and meet the world?" Mary said.

Steve is Mary's cousin, who was originally a small business man. Later, Clark followed Scrooge's development, and they followed Clark.

"There is something good about this in the world. Their business is too small, and Mr. MacDonald was very busy at that time. There will definitely be a lot of important people who will come to congratulate when they go. Mr. MacDonald, there is no hope to talk to him at all. What's the point of going there?" Clark said.

"You old fool!" Mary replied with a smile, "Steve did not go there to establish relationships with the McDonald's, but to establish relationships with other guests who came to the McDonald's. Mina is fifteen this year and is already a big girl. I think there should be many boys of his age among the guests..."

"It turned out to be this, um, it's easy. Just wrap it on me," Clark said, putting on his jacket, and a carriage was waiting outside to pick him up to work.

MacDonald’s food business has always been very good, and even the economic downturn during this period has not had much impact on them. Although many people who originally ate Spam can't afford Spam now, there are more people who originally ate small fresh meat now have changed to Spam. Today's McDonald's food includes not only general food products, animal feed, pig raising, chicken raising, and duck raising. There is even an own marine fishing fleet.

Immediately Mr. MacDonald is getting married, and the food for the wedding is of course the raw materials provided by MacDonald Foods. For example, the pigs raised in the 163 pig farm are definitely not the kind that was released in just one hundred and sixty-three days, but the special pigs raised in the most traditional and greenest way.

In fact, since the establishment of McDonald Foods, in addition to making money, they have also taken on the task of providing the safest food to the company’s senior management, not only for pigs, but also for chickens and milk. Special cheese (this is very necessary. In the past, in order to preserve the freshness, the black-hearted merchants put mercury-containing compounds in it. The quantity is limited to those who can't eat it on the spot), and the special tea (in order to make the tea look good. , The British added patina to tea), anyway, since starting this company, Scrooge has eaten assured food for the first time in two lifetimes.

"Do you have fresh bluefin tuna?" Clark asked.

"Last night, the Honest Man returned to the port and brought back one. It weighs 380 pounds, which should be enough." The secretary replied.

"How is the preservation?" Clark asked.

"Preserved quite well. Very fresh." The assistant replied.

"Ah, so we have everything ready here," Clark said.

"Andrew, do you really plan to attend the Scrooge McDonald's wedding in person?" First Lady Eliza McCadler asked.

"Yes." President Andrew Johnson replied.

"However, there has never been a precedent for a president to attend a rich man's wedding in person. Maybe others will say that you are too pleased with those big capitals. They will say a lot of bad things." His wife said worriedly. .

"Isn't this just the right thing?" President Andrew replied, "First of all, Scrooge's reputation has always been very good. She is not only a big capital, but also a big scientist and a big philanthropist. Taking into account the latter two identities, I There’s nothing bad about attending his wedding. And, if someone is willing to attack me for it, that’s great. First of all, how would such an attack affect me? If it’s not for Lincoln’s assassination, I don’t care. How can I not be president? And when it comes to the next presidential election, do you think I have any chance to win the Republicans who have just won the Civil War? Therefore, any attacks on me have no real meaning. Part of the time can be ignored.

Secondly, if they are willing to accuse me of this matter, it is hard not to get involved with Scrooge McDonald when they accuse me. It is easy to cause conflicts between the MacDonald family and the Republican Party. In this way, isn't it a very favorable thing for the Democratic Party? Therefore, going to the Scrooge Macdonald wedding is profitable and harmless. "

"Scrooge invited a lot of Democrats to his wedding. What do you think?" After spending a night on the yacht with his club members, they chatted about Scrooge's wedding.

"Mr. MacDonald never does meaningless things. Although the Democrats are unlikely to reign in the short term, they are still very influential in the South. Yes, the Republicans won the recent elections in the South. However, everyone knows how this victory came about. This victory cannot last for a long time. Sooner or later, the South will be under the control of the Democratic Party. And the South has been damaged so severely, its reconstruction will be many. Business. Especially the steel business. Therefore, at this time, Scrooge wants to pull the Democratic Party." A banker said.

"I also think that's the case." Another banker said, "But if you do this, Republicans will definitely be dissatisfied. We may be able to use this dissatisfaction to strengthen our influence on the Republican Party. However, we can't count on it. The Republican Party will fall out with Scrooge directly, after all, he is also a major funder of the Republican Party."

"You are all right." Morgan said, "but there is one more thing, you have to be clear, what is the biggest political difference between the Republicans and the Democrats?" Morgan looked around, no one was gnawing, obviously everyone was there. Waiting for him to give an answer.

"Tariffs are still tariffs. In the past, Scrooge supported the Republican Party because he still needed the protection of high tariffs. But now, relying on the advantages of technology, the competitiveness of his products has surpassed those of European products, so he no longer The protection of high tariffs is needed. At this time, low tariffs are more conducive to sweeping away domestic competitors and opening up the European market. Unless the Republicans abandon this policy, the contradiction between Scrooge and them will only grow. But can the Republicans abandon their high-tariff policy? This is obviously impossible, because it means betraying their basics. So the contradiction between them will only grow bigger and stronger. The stronger the Scrooge The contradiction will be greater. This is something that no one can change, even Scrooge is the same."
