1855 United States Tycoon

"Come here, sit here," Scrooge said to Dorothea.

"Where else are you injured?" Dorothea walked over and sat beside Scrooge and asked caringly.

"No. Did you read this article?" Scrooge pointed the poster to Dorothea.

"I saw it on the road," Dorothea replied.

"Then there is this one." Scrooge took out another newspaper and pointed to the headline on it to show Dorothea. Dorothea took a closer look, and the title turned out to be: "Is it a terrorist attack or a desperate cry".

"It seems we are really hateful." Dorothea shook her head and said.

"Of course. But this time it is indeed my fault." Scrooge said, "I'm so stupid, really. I just know that'to take the road of others, there is no way for people to go'. It is very profitable and very profitable. It’s cool, but it ignores the coexistence of force and reaction force. It’s super hatred to let people have nowhere to go. “Blocking people’s money is like killing parents.” These newspapers are for the weaknesses of our family and others for us. The analysis of hatred is right. However, hatred is not a big deal. This thing is not a big deal. The key is profit. As mentioned above, too many people can benefit from my death. And it is even more terrifying. Yes, the benefits they can get from this are so great that it is enough to encourage them to take risks and even die."

Scrooge remembered a famous quote by Marx when he was talking about the group of capitalists, including himself: "Capitalists are afraid of no profit or too little profit, just like nature is afraid of vacuum. Once there is suitable profit, capitalists will be bold. Get up. If there is a 10% profit, he will guarantee to be used everywhere; if there is 20% profit, he will become active; if there is 50% profit, he will take the risk; for 1% With one hundred profits, he dared to trample on all human laws; with 300% profits, he dared to commit any crime, even risking death."

Isn’t that the case in the real life? In the later rabbit country, people who sold more than 50 grams of first-class drugs could be shot dead, but because drug trafficking provided more than 300% of the profit, although shots and injections dealt with a large number of Chinese and foreign drug dealers, As the saying goes, "It doesn't matter if you behead your head, as long as you have a lot of money. Killing Akmao will have your own descendants." There is never a shortage of drug dealers who risk the risk of beheading.

But now, how much profit can you get if you kill Scrooge? Scrooge calculated silently and found that even for his allies, such as Morgan, or even Rockefeller, the benefits he could get from it far exceeded 300%. In this way, apart from the people in their own family, I am afraid that all capitalists in the United States are looking forward to their death. Scrooge understood that now standing on the opposite side of own is not just a few terrorists, but other capitalists in almost the entire United States.

"I'm so stupid! Really!" Scrooge said, "In fact, like them, I was blindfolded by excess profits, and I did something that blocked almost everyone's financial path!"

"Then what do we do? Do we need to give up part of the market and profits?" Dorothea asked, and her heart was aching like a knife.

"We can't back down at this time." Scrooge said harshly, "The more this time, the less we can back up. Once we back down, they will be encouraged and pressed forward step by step. Even in the process. With effective union, we are really in danger."

"Then what are you going to do? Show up right away and let those guys die? Doing so will only make them lurking temporarily, and they will continue to look for opportunities." Dorothea frowned.

"So, we can neither say that I am dead to the outside world, which will greatly damage our morale and allow the enemy to attack quickly and fully, nor can we immediately announce that I am okay, so that they will hide. The most hidden enemy Terrible." Scrooge said fiercely, "We are going to let the enemy suspect. Some of them can't help it first. Whoever comes up first, we will fight against whoever."

"However, we continue to block all of them from getting rich, are we strong enough?" Dorothea asked worriedly.

"Not enough, because our weaknesses are obvious, at least until the next generation grows up, not enough. So in the future, we must slowly retreat, suspend the practice of expansion, and wait for the next generation to grow. But retreat is the most dangerous action. , The most likely to become collapse. Therefore, before we pause, or even retreat in small steps, we must cut off a bunch of heads to frighten those who are unruly. Only if we win this battle, we can stop or even stop. Retreat. Only by giving them a hard blow can we have peace. The question now is how many heads we need to cut off to be just right." Scrooge said slowly.

"How many heads need to be cut off?" Dorothea didn't quite understand.

"The key depends on how much information we have leaked. If the information we leak makes people believe that I will be better, there will be fewer enemies coming out and fewer enemies to be eliminated, but the deterrent effect will be smaller. On the contrary, if our leaked news makes more people suspect that my condition is very bad and even dead. Then more guys will come out, especially those who are really threatening to us. Come out. Of course, in this way, we will face more enemies and the pressure will be greater, but once these opponents are knocked down, we are quite safe." Scrooge frowned and said. "But this kind of conflict may be very serious, and many big forces will be involved. By that time, I am afraid it will not end well."

"That's it." Dorothea was also silent, and it was not easy to make such a decision.

After being silent for a while, Dorothea said, "Should I go back and discuss it with the people at home?"

"You don't need to go back to discuss with them, just use a telegram." Scrooge said, "not to mention, you can't go back casually. Your current whereabouts reflect my situation in a sense. You think, if You just arrived and suddenly left and went back. What would people guess? If it were me, I would reason like this: If Scrooge had nothing big, then his wife would definitely stay with him to take care of him. As for family and business Scrooge can control it by telephone and telegram. Moreover, if Scrooge is okay, there will be no problem with the unity within the family and the consortium. So his wife shouldn’t need her to leave her husband immediately. Go back to deal with things. On the contrary, if Scrooge is about to die. Then not to mention the fierce struggle within the consortium, even within the family. At this time, if you are still in the hospital, it will obviously be like this. I suffered a loss in the struggle. Therefore, once you leave immediately, it is tantamount to sending a message to the outside world that Shi Gao is seriously incurable."

"So, we must immediately determine whether we are playing the big one or the small one?" Dorothea asked.

"Yes. This decision must be made immediately." Scrooge said.

"Or? Or..." Dorothea's never thought that when she actually needed to advise on such a major and decisive matter.

"Or, let's do it." Dorothea said at last.

"Why do you think that?" Scrooge was a little surprised."For us, who is the most dangerous enemy right now? I don't think it is the assassins anymore." Dorothea said, "From now on, in public, you should show up as little as possible. I need to show up. , Let Carol and the others do it. As long as you are still alive in the duck castle, no one really dares to do anything to us. Even you can find a way to find a stand-in who is close to you and replace you on some occasions. The possibility of the assassins threatening you again is much smaller. There are actually only two enemies that are truly dangerous and can threaten us. One is Morgan and the other is Rockefeller. I am not talking about this incident. They have a share, but if you really die, they must be the ones who profit the most. If you don’t give them a blow, you won’t be able to scare more guys."

"Morgan and Rockefeller? You think well. Then which one of them do you think should be our target?" Scrooge continued to ask.

"It depends on their performance and whoever jumps out first." Dorothea said.

"You are wrong, Dorothea." Scrooge said solemnly. "First of all, you missed Clark. More importantly, it's not to see who jumps out first, but to see who we need to jump out first. , Whoever jumps out is more beneficial to us."

...

"Dage, do you know what happened to Scrooge?" William Rockefeller, who had been assisting John Rockefeller as his deputy, asked rather anxiously. John Rockefeller could clearly see hesitation, longing and enthusiasm on his Little Brother's face.

"What are you asking about this?" John asked.

"Dage, don't you think this is an opportunity? I think you should visit him in the hospital. Isn't it normal to do this as a friend? If Scrooge..."

"Shut up! You fool!" To own Little Brother, Rockefeller has always been very strict, sometimes not like a Dage, but like a strict father. This may have something to do with their father's unreliability.

"Go to visit Scrooge now, the fool knows that you want to test him. At this time, any temptation is a manifestation of hostility. If Scrooge is okay, if I am Scrooge, at this time, Who dares to test me, I will strike him without hesitation. Understand? There are a lot of smart people in this world waiting for a fool to be the first warrior! Don’t be reconciled, you just need to understand At this time, we will not suffer even if we do nothing. If Scrooge is really dead, if the Macdonald family collapses, even if we wait until it collapses and we do it again, we will not suffer a big loss. How much money, but in the oil industry, we will still be the boss. Now most of the oil fields and oil users are in the hands of McDonald, so they can control us. Once they collapse, just rely on monopoly For oil refineries in China, we can in turn control those oil wells and users that have been divided into pieces. Even if we make less money than others because of slow actions, but relying on monopolized oil refineries, we will soon be able to make money. Come back. On the contrary, if we do something wrong now, we will most likely be overwhelmed! So, don’t try to go to the hospital to test Scrooge now. Just call Carol and show your concern. On this call, only It’s enough to wish Scrooge to recover. Don’t ask about the condition, or even... damn it, forget it, let me make this call."
