Act 54: Tie the Grasshopper
Tanney nodded and said, "You are right. Although our President, Herbert Clark Hoover, that guy, is a fool, he can't control anything. But Hoover is an idiot, does not mean that there is no one in the top leaders of the United States. For example, the next president, Mr. Roosevelt, has begun to actively study ways to prevent the foreignization of key American companies. At present, many bills that hinder our plans are from his work. What's more troublesome is that the election will be held soon. When Mr. Roosevelt becomes president, I'm afraid your plan will have to be stopped gradually. He is not that easy to deal with."
After hearing Tanny's words, Roger looked at him in surprise and asked in confusion: "How do you know that the next US president will definitely be Roosevelt? There is no general election yet?"
Roger was indeed strange. He knew that Roosevelt would definitely be elected. He was a time traveler and knew the history of later generations, but why did Tanny be so sure that he did not come from time travel.
Tanni smiled and said, "Of course I don't know if Roosevelt will be elected. I only know that Mr. Hoover will definitely lose. If the Democratic Party is willing to make a pig a presidential candidate, I think the United States will have the first pig president in history."
Roger said with a giggle and laughter: "It seems that you are already desperate for that Mr. Hoover."
Tanni nodded and said, "It is true. Would you like a guy who will immediately dive as soon as he opens his mouth and a large number of banks will go bankrupt as soon as he introduces a new policy. Moreover, he has already said in person, 'The United States is at its end', so we can only leave him behind and find a way out."
After asking his royal chef to make a sumptuous table of food for Tanni and served him, Roger drove to his father-in-law Cao Zonghan in the evening.
Since Cao Zonghan's good son-in-law soared into the sky, he moved his home to Qiongya and lived next to Roger. However, although the people moved in, they did not leave behind business matters. Instead, they relied on Roger's benefits to make their business bigger and bigger. They can be regarded as a number of people in the business circles in the southern part of the Republic of China.
"Why is the son-in-law still here so late today? Did that American cause you some trouble?" Seeing his son-in-law visiting at night, Cao Zonghan was indeed a little surprised. Thinking that American Tanny arrived in Qiongya today, he naturally felt that Roger's arrival should be related to him.
When he heard his father-in-law Cao Zonghan still called him a son-in-law. Roger smiled bitterly. Although he kept urging Cao Zonghan to call him Ajie or something more friendly, he always thought that the superiority and inferiority were orderly. It was too casual and inappropriate to call him. According to his opinion, he should even call him Roger in the officialdom, so that he could appear solemn. In the end, when both sides compromised, the title of the son-in-law was finally frozen.
"Tanny didn't cause me trouble, on the contrary, he gave me a surprise. I asked him to buy a batch of American second-hand mobile phones for me, and the first ship of cargo will be shipped to us in two days, so I wondered whether our party can change the time and place."
The party that Roger mentioned was a gathering of merchants in various businesses in the Republic of China. From the top people to the upstarts who just revealed their assets, they were all invited, and there were as many as two or three thousand merchants of all sizes.
The invitation of Roger, a popular person in power, was naturally flattered by the three provinces under his rule. They all pointed to Roger's Guangdong Province construction to make money and have dinner. Where can the boss dare not come if he invites it?
Even those who are on the ground will not turn a blind eye to this invitation. After all, Roger's power is too powerful, and even the Japanese navy can be knocked over. Who knows that he will not be able to take over Nanjing in the future? No matter what he asks him to go over, there is nothing wrong in the past. You must not be in the wrong team in such a thing! He said a thousand words and ten thousand, but he didn't expect that he could make any profit from here, even if he left a way out for himself.
Cao Zonghan pondered for a moment and said, "Now most of them are on the road, and some of them have even arrived here. Just like Mr. Ma from Fuzhou, he has lived in Laixiang for three days. It would be a bad time if he changes his life. Although they dare not say anything if he changes his time, it would be too offensive to leave those people who come from afar for ten or half a month. If you can stop doing this kind of thing, we should stop doing it."
Roger smiled and said, "It won't take that long. Didn't I say it just now? The first ship of machines will arrive in two days. I want those people to open their eyes and see what the American machines look like. It's safe to buy a physical object, right?"
"Wait, what you mean is that those second-hand mobile phones that you have worked hard to get are not for us at all?" After hearing his son-in-law's words, Cao Zonghan's brows were entangled, and he seemed very dissatisfied. "Son-in-law, don't blame me for being too verbally verbally. It's not easy for us to make some money. I didn't say anything about the construction of Guangdong Province before. That's because Guangdong Province is yours. If you have rich Guangdong Province, your strength will be stronger. This is a good thing. But you just spent so much money and are not relaxed at hand now. How can you still do such things? How much money can you make by selling these machines? If you use them to produce things yourself, you will make a lot of money. You should also calculate this account clearly. Don't always focus on those good machines. Where can you not use them to use them to use them to use them? Is it possible that you have made a lot of money? "
Why did Roger say: "Don't be angry, my business is already big enough to care about these machines."
"Don't care? What can I mean not care?" Cao Zonghan knocked on the table angrily and said angrily, "Don't do it because it's small, and don't make money because it's small, and money is earned bit by bit. Your indifferent thought will suffer a great loss!"
"Yes, yes, what you have always taught is that I am doing a big business. Think about it, if we can use these second-hand devices to tie these people to us and turn them into grasshoppers on a rope, then our strength is..."
Cao Zonghan glared at Roger and scolded: "Now those people have money on hand. That's because you keep spending money in Guangdong Province. They are rich by relying on your money. You sell them machines to expand factories, but what should they do if you don't spend money in Guangdong Province in the future? Look at how many factories in the world are doing well in addition to you? If you don't spend money in Guangdong Province, can they hold those piles of machines be used as food or drink?
At that time, they would be grateful if they didn't scold you, and they still hope to win over you. Are you thinking about a good thing? Don't tell me that you are really planning to spend money to support them in Guangdong Province for the rest of your life? If you can really do that, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"I spent my whole life on Guangdong Province? I almost threw all my wealth into the past few years." Roger smiled bitterly, "The construction of Guangdong Province is actually almost done. I have done basically everything I should do. Take the rest of the pieces and take it slowly. There is no need to spend money in this concentrated manner. In fact, I sold them machines just to make money in Guangdong Province in the future. I can continue to survive if they are gone. I am trying to show them a clear way to make money! You are a sensible person. Do you think that one person can make all the money in the world?"
Cao Zonghan shook his head and said, "How is that possible? If there is such a person, it will definitely cause resentment from heaven and earth. At that time, the people who have been taken away by him will unite to fight him!"
"You understand the truth, so our company is already very profitable, better than a wealthy country. If it expands, it will cause resentment." Roger praised with a thumbs up, "So I want to share some money-making things, and make equal benefits. We have to let others drink some soup when eating meat. If you have money, everyone will make money. So many people are tied to us. You say we can still summon the wind and rain?"
Cao Zonghan said deeply: "What you said is good is good, but I am afraid that the interests are not enough and people are unwilling to come over. If there are too many interests... I feel sorry..."
"I can't bear to let my children go and don't look for wolves. Can you have to have a place with me? A country will not become strong because of a person's wealth. Only when everyone is rich can it be truly rich, and that kind of country has hope. Don't you want to watch me become that person and make all the money and become a public enemy?"
As he said that, Roger took out a gadget from his arms and demonstrated it in front of Cao Zonghan.
"Look, this is what I'm going to give them. How about it? Is it enough?"
Cao Zonghan took it and played with it. It felt very novel. After a few minutes, he reluctantly placed it on the table and said, "This thing is good, but unfortunately it's only one. I don't know how to divide it to satisfy so many people."
"How can there be only one place? There are other things here." Roger smiled and took out all kinds of strange things one by one like a magic trick.
Looking at the things Roger took out one by one, Cao Zonghan took a breath and trembled with a sore heart: "You... you are not giving up your children, you are going to give up all the house!"
Roger smiled and stood up behind Cao Zonghan, pinching his shoulder and saying, "How can we do it? We are authorized to produce. If they want to produce, they have to pay us money!"
"I really give money!? Just give money... Just give money..." (To be continued...)
