Act 29 The Devil is in the World

Doug stood outside the door of the cell and watched quietly as the mother and son reunite.

The scene of crying with his head in his arms is touching, but what he wants to see more is a mother's choice.

In the late 1850s, opportunities were everywhere in the United States. Just seize one of them and you can get rich overnight.

However, most people simply do not have the ability to seize opportunities.

Go to gold rush?

If you are experiencing whaling fever, go out to sea to catch whales?

I’m so sorry, in a capitalist world, it’s never possible to become a boss by labour.

Not to mention how much gold can be obtained by rushing gold.

Gold digging tools, hotels, women, self-protection tools to beware of others' murder and robbery. These things can empty all the gains of gold diggers.

Gold diggers are lonely and poor, and the rich are hardware merchants, hotel owners, pimps and weapons sellers.

Donald Trump's grandfather, Friedrich Trump, was able to make a fortune back then, and he also traveled across the ocean to the west of the United States from Germany. He opened a hotel with flesh-related business in a small town with a large number of gold diggers, and accumulated wealth.

Can't Doug take that route?

able!

But it is too slow to accumulate wealth like that.

Although the wealth accumulated from grandfather to grandchildren is a huge figure in the eyes of ordinary people.

However, compared to the major consortiums, it is just a small sampan.

Doug's goal is to build a consortium.

The core of the consortium is the banking industry.

Doug Clayden had an idea from the moment he received the letter of introduction from Yale University president.

William wants to charge his own high interest and make money while lying down?

Oh! Sorry!

I'm interested in the entire New Haven Eagle Bank.

New Haven Eagle Bank is one of more than 1,300 banks in the United States that have state bank licenses. According to the License Act, it has the right to issue bank vouchers based on US dollars mainly based on gold and silver coins.

Any individual or business in the United States has no right to refuse to accept bank receipts.

However, when it comes to paying taxes, the US government only collects US dollars.

Therefore, state banks not only have the right to issue banknotes, but also have the function of paying taxes on their behalf.

Banks with such attributes are simply impossible to be held by private individuals in a country with slightly complete rules.

But this is the United States. In the United States in 1859, everything is possible, right?

But although the fat piece of Eagle Bank is delicious and delicious, Doug is salivating, he has no capital to swallow it.

And the window period that can be swallowed is very short. When the conflict between the north and the south is brewing to the extreme and the war is about to break out, he will no longer have the opportunity to hold a state bank with the attributes of a "central bank".

He wants to make money!

He wants to make quick money!

Don’t think about getting rich by working!

A little shoe shiner, a waiter, and a gold digger, they would never buy one thousand percent of a bank in their entire lives.

Don’t think about industrial investment!

The industry is difficult, the investment is long, the returns are slow, and the yield is low. He cannot do it!

All he can do is to brag about concepts, sell the future, and suffocate everyone for their dreams!

And the concept he brags about is "Monopoly".

The production of the "Monopoly" game is light industry and has low difficulty. As long as it can be mass-produced smoothly, it creates a hot-selling scene in New Haven.

He can convince more people to invest in him.

From New Haven to Connecticut, from Connecticut to New England, from New England to the entire United States.

From the whole of the United States to the whole America, from the Americas to the whole world.

The broad market prospects allow Doug to sell his company's shares and get funds that never need to be repaid.

Everything he does now is divided into two types: one is to ensure the production of "Monopoly", and the other is to build momentum for "Monopoly".

Whether it is training waiters to draw promotional pictures or attend various salons at Yale University, even if they are sacrificed to be sacrificed, they are all for the purpose of creating momentum and to create momentum for "Monopoly".

What the capital market values ​​most is not real assets, but confidence.

Doug has to go through his own operations to give everyone a confidence, a dream that "Monopoly" will sell well.

This is how he could think of the lowest risk and the accumulation of large amounts of capital in a short period of time.

At the same time, he also has to give himself a reputation for kindness and use the thoughts in the game to sublimate his own personality in the eyes of others.

Fame and fortune are both his goal.

He is so busy that he wants more than just a hot sale of a game.

The mother, who had already made up her mind to give up Lark, couldn't help crying loudly when she hugged her son.

She cried sadly, and her original firm belief began to shake.

She looked back with tears in her eyes and saw the young-faced demon standing at the door.

The two choices were in trouble in her heart.

"Lak, Lak." The mother shouted softly.

"Mom! I'm here! I'm here!" The little shoe shiner also cried.

"Luck, how are you living here? Are they...the evil policemen bullying you?" the little shoe shiner's mother asked his son.

"No, they didn't. Mr. Doug... bought them with a lot of money! Not only did they not abuse me (harmoniously), but the food they gave me was very good! Mom! Look, I'm fat!"

While the little shoe shiner spoke, he sincerely thanked Doug.

"Did Mr. Doug take you to see me? Mr. Doug is such a great man! I'll go out! I must serve Mr. Doug!"

The little shoe shiner is currently examining his son's obviously white face and his much plump face, but he is not at all happy.

Because she thought that when she was in Ireland, when those men wanted to kill livestock, they would always make them delicious and drink, and make them fatter.

Could it be that the fate of his son is the same as that of a livestock?

Her tears flowed down involuntarily.

"Mom, don't cry!" The little shoe polisher wiped off the tears shed from his mother, "Don't worry! Mr. Doug is a kind and powerful person who will definitely save me! Not only can you rest at home, but even your younger brothers and sisters will live a good life!"

The little shoe shiner's confident voice made his mother feel even more distressed.

She wanted to tell him that Doug outside the door was not a good person, but a demon! The devil who devoured the man!

However, when she said something, she couldn't say it anyway.

She now understood why the man outside the door let him in without any warning.

Because he is fearless.

Because he knew that the two choices he gave were only one.

"Luck, listen to Mr. Doug's words." The little shoe shiner's mother hugged the little shoe shiner hard and patted him on the back.

After saying this, she turned around and left.
