The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Sir, I have read the Western Das Kapital. It says that economic actors are driven by self-interest, and the 'invisible hand' of the market directs this self-interest to promote overall economic well-being. The United States is also disengaged There is no such thing as this set of rules. Capitalists have capitalist rules. If you do business with them honestly, they are willing to fight you within the rules. If Mr. wants to jump out of the three realms, then they will definitely join forces to expel him from this game. Outside the game.”

Zhao Chuanxin knew that Li Guangzong was quite evil.

What he says and does becomes more and more purposeful.

So I raised my own question: But I am anonymous, they don't know who I am?

Sir, if you think about it carefully, are the things you did really perfect? ​​Li Ziyu can use clues to figure out that you robbed the bank. Is he the only smart person in the world?

Zhao Chuanxin gritted his teeth.

Toothache hurts.

If someone is interested and follows his trajectory, it seems that it is not difficult to find that he is the culprit of these things.

Li Guangzong continued: If you continue to play that trick, I think the gains outweigh the losses. Moreover, the bank's rules are becoming more and more perfect. Stealing money alone will become increasingly unworkable in the future. But the United States is a big market, why? Without thinking too much, how about using serious means to make money from them?

This statement makes perfect sense.

Zhao Chuanxin felt that he was gradually being convinced.

You can obviously rob them together, but you have to make me pay for them, right? You can obviously beat them to death with a stick, but you have to put a curse on me, right?

Li Guangzong put his hands behind his back and came to the window, looking at the bustling streets and the sea beyond.

Sir, you have used fear to conquer Americans. The second time you use this trick, the effect will be greatly reduced. Otherwise, you try it this time and achieve this goal in an upright manner.

Okay, I understand. I'm a kind-hearted person, and I generally won't shout to fight or kill.

... Li Guangzong didn't believe it at all: I heard that Mr. used a hierarchical method to train the rebel army, which was the reason for the great victory at Laoyinggou.

A great victory at Laoyinggou? Zhao Chuanxin said happily: This word sounds very good, and it should be recorded in the history books.

Li Guangzong felt that he had to control the rhythm, otherwise he would be led astray by Zhao Chuan: If you encounter a problem again, sir, why don't you try to solve it through non-force means and give yourself a level first?

Zhao Chuanxin felt that Li Guangzong's speech was getting closer and closer to him, making it difficult to grasp the context.

He asked: What level is it divided into?

Sir, you can grade the difficulties you will face. Now it is just public opinion crusade, which is level 1. Level 2 means the industry is threatened. Level 3 means people around you are threatened. Level 4 means people and industry have actually suffered losses. Level 5 is It is a matter of personal safety, sir.”

But my personal safety is always in question. Looking around, how many of them are not enemies?

... Li Guangzong smiled bitterly: I know what you are capable of, and ordinary people cannot pose a threat. For the first four levels, you can use non-force means to solve the problem. Only if you are really threatened, it will not be too late to take action. In this way, even if Mr. If our identity is exposed, I think we can at least keep our property safe. It's like countries are enemies, but they won't rob each other's banks or use force to do everything. This is the rule of the game.

It is clear and well-founded, making it impossible to refute.

Well... what if someone discriminates against me? Do I have to endure it?

Going abroad=Broad sea and sky=burning, killing and looting.

Although you can get money by doing this, please don't forget that it also frees Zhao Chuanxin from the worry of being restrained.

Li Guangzong seemed aggrieved when he said this, so why would he go abroad?

What fun is there in getting rid of bad luck and adultery?

Just like an old married couple, Zhao Chuanxin just wanted to shiver. After withdrawing money during this economic crisis, the United States became boring to him.

Run away after finishing?

Li Guangzong dug deep into Zhao Chuanxin's psychology, and he quickly suggested: Sir once only wanted to destroy, why not try to build? Thousands of sails passed by the side of the sinking boat, and thousands of trees grew in front of the diseased tree. There are two sides to the matter, and Mr. has been frightened After passing the American devils, why not find a way to improve the status of overseas Chinese in a positive way this time? And at the same time, make money?

Zhao Chuanxin really wanted to ask what specific method to use.

But if I ask, doesn’t it make me look incompetent?

Oh, I get it. I can handle such a small matter easily without being verbose. Zhao Chuanxin pretended to be confident and emphasized: However, if I can't bear it anymore, I will still take action.

This is already amazing.

Li Guangzong knew that although Zhao Chuanxin had spoken harshly, he had actually listened, and a smile appeared on his face: Sir, do you want me to send some people to assist you?

That's not necessary. Zhao Chuanxin is also very strong. It's just a trivial matter, so why should he borrow external help?

How embarrassing.

Li Guangzong smiled and said: Sir, you are really generous with me. He is the first to make far-reaching strategies. He is knowledgeable about heaven and man, and has both civil and military talents. He is an all-rounder.

Oh, I advise you to give me less chicken blood injections and be less slutty. I won't do that.

After I finished speaking, I thought happily: I am actually very good. I am good at accepting advice. I can judge my gains and losses by looking at people as a mirror. I can be called a model of following the good!

Simply a model for the early twentieth century. Hey, those born in the early 2000s, I hope you don’t stretch your hips!

But how to do it? It seems that I don’t have much money left. If I don’t go to the bank to withdraw money, I will be short-selling the market in the future, and I may have no money in my hand. It’s really nerve-wracking.

…

America, white house.

Edith Roosevelt is sorting Ronaldo's clothes.

This is a Brooks Brothers store, and the tailor-made suit and fedora hat are also from that store.

Da Luo looked in the mirror, straightened his tie, and said to his wife: Edith, I think everything is fine.

Edith Roosevelt smoothed his waist, nodded and said, It is important to maintain due respect when meeting Mr. Rockefeller and Governor Hughes.

Ronaldo said with a smile: I don't want to be as boring as Hughes. Occasional flaws make us look like people instead of sophisticated machines. John Rockefeller and Charles Evan Hughes look like It’s a machine, a machine that belongs to both the business and political realms.”

Having said that, he still values ​​his wife's advice.

Ronaldo once told people that if he did not follow his wife's advice, he would regret it afterwards.

Edith Roosevelt's influence on him was subtle, permeating all the details of his life.

The mistress of the white house is very organized and decisive.

Theodore, I hope you will never say such things outside. Edith Roosevelt suddenly said: By the way, have you read the New York Times? The executioner from the Far East killed ours again. A photographer.”

When he heard about the Butcher of the Far East, Da Luo's face darkened: Huh, this time I met with Rockefeller and Hughes, Zhao Chuanxin was one of the most important themes.

Edith Roosevelt's main purpose was to remind her husband that if he was unhappy, she immediately changed the subject: By the way, Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands will visit us in a while. I don't want to see this woman.

Da Luo turned around, pursed his lips, and brushed his wife's hair lovingly: Edie, it's very inappropriate not to greet people you don't like. It's like you don't allow me to talk nonsense outside. It’s like gibberish.”

Needless to say, Ronaldo was married twice. His ex-wife died of illness, and his current wife, Edith Roosevelt, is also his childhood sweetheart. Emotionally, he is lucky. Both wives loved him very much.

Edith Roosevelt said, Go ahead and don't keep them waiting.

Da Luo didn't say much more, because he knew that his wife could handle things carefully.

When they arrived at the restaurant, the thin and gray-haired John Rockefeller and the burly and unsmiling Charles Evans Hughes had indeed been waiting for a long time.

Da Luo stepped forward, apologized and hugged them one by one.

It seems that the order of invisibility here is this:

Ronaldo \u003e Charles Evans Hughes \u003e John Rockefeller.

But in fact, the real order is likely to be:

John Rockefeller \u003e Ronaldo \u003e Charles Evans Hughes.

John Rockefeller's oil business has spread all over the world, and he has a monopoly position in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Some people are vaguely saying that his current personal assets have reached 1 billion US dollars.

What is the concept of $1 billion at this time?

At the level of ordinary people, the rent for renting a house ranges from a few yuan to twenty or thirty yuan, and the annual food expenses for an individual are more than 100 yuan, and the poorer people spend less.

Coupled with the lack of material resources, perhaps this 1 billion is as good as the 100 billion or more in future generations.

This does not include all the wealth of his family, business partners with him as the core, and people from all walks of life.

The influence of the Rockefeller Foundation is not only at the commercial level, but has even begun to influence American politics.

And Charles Evans Hughes is currently the governor of New York.

This man was rigorous and capable, and later even fought with others to run for the position of big boss. He has many fans among people from all walks of life in New York and has a great reputation.

After sitting down, the three of them chatted for a while about the industrial and economic situation in Europe and the United States.

Ronaldo and these two men each adhere to their own economic principles and political ideas, and they support and confront each other.

Because Ronaldo advocated anti-monopoly, while John Rockefeller was engaged in oil monopoly.

The factions between Charles Evans Hughes and Ronaldo are different.

It was not until many years later that the two positions gradually became unified.

Charles Evans Hughes seems to be a rigorous and stubborn person, but in fact, this person is very smart and can always win the most critical and overwhelming vote at the most critical moment.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, he changed the topic to today's topic: Two gentlemen, let's talk about America's old friend - the butcher of the Far East.
