1855 United States Tycoon

Although I promised Dorothea that I would take her to Niagara Falls, I really wanted to go, and the necessary preparations were really a lot. The first is the preparations for the upcoming Atlantic Communications Company. Although the general plan has been drawn up, a lot of coordinated work must be done to implement it. Scrooge originally thought that after finishing these things, two days should be almost the same, and then Dorothea would go out for half a month, and when he came back, he could almost officially start the action in this area.

However, some coordination matters were more complicated than Scrooge originally expected. As a result, it took an extra day for Scrooge to complete the work at hand. Then, he took a telegram to Carol and took it with him. Dorothea and a bunch of bodyguards got on the train and headed to Niagara.

"He wants to go to Sao Paulo to check the railway construction situation? It seems to be quite normal at the moment? Does it need to run there in person? Well, he also needs to go to the United States and Canada border areas to investigate mineral resources? This is purely Excuse me? Well, he must have taken Dorothea on a trip, he probably went to Niagara to watch the falls. Hmph, Carol, your brother, when we got married, we didn’t even have a honeymoon. Let us do it, and we used it as livestock. Now it’s her turn. She hasn’t gotten married yet, so she quietly went to spend her honeymoon! Then she threw a lot of things to us. Well, Carol, you promised me that you would take me to see the Great Falls, right? I haven't seen what the Great Falls looks like yet? By the way, he stayed in the South for several months not long ago. , Said that there was a big deal, but now there is no big deal. It is the right to use some land, but there is no output of those land. Well, it seems that your brother and Dorothea were very early Yeah? Dorothea was only 12 years old when they met. Well, your brother is really a caring person. He didn’t go south specifically for Dorothea, right?" After the telegram came back, Catherine looked around and there was no one else except her husband Carol, and couldn't help but complain.

Carol came over, looked at the telegram, then smiled, and said to his wife: "Scrooge is actually fair. You see, before we got married, didn't we take advantage of the free time to run business and play in Europe? Well, we even took a trip to Mont Blanc-although we didn't dare to climb up. And Scrooge himself used himself as a beast. To be honest, no one can compare our workload to history. How about Gao Zhidu? Moreover, Scrooge also brought a shortwave radio station with him this trip. As for the business in the South, you don't believe Scrooge's other business, can you believe his business mind? You can only make money. Yes. As for Scrooge and Dorothea, when did they get better, isn't it our business?"

"Hmph, I know you will stand by your brother's side." Catherine said, "Actually, I also know that what you said makes sense, but I just think it's a bit out of balance. Well, my handkerchiefs are one by one. I married a rich nouveau riche and went to enjoy the blessings. How do they know... If you want to enjoy Life, you can only look at the generation of Dena and Donald."

"Yes, for the children!" Carol took Catherine's hand.

"This is the waterfall! It's spectacular! Scrooge, look, there is a rainbow there!" Dorothea cried out in surprise, and she kept shaking Scrooge's arm.

"Yes, it's spectacular." Scrooge said, "but the Canadian waterfall over there is a bit bigger. After a while, we will take a boat from downstream, and on the Canadian side, we can see the entire waterfall. We even You can drive the boat to the bottom of the waterfall."

"Go to the bottom of the waterfall?" Dorothea asked in surprise, "That won't be directly given by water..."

"Of course it's not really driving to the bottom, but driving to a very close distance, so close to the point where the mist from the waterfall can be used for bathing." Scrooge said.Below Niagana Falls, there is a merchant named Bilt who bought a steamboat to provide this kind of service to tourists. Now Scrooge had already let someone ship the ship. Today, exclusively for him and Dorothea.

"Well, the ship is already waiting below, let's get off." Scrooge said.

"Well, let's go down together." Dorothea said.

Walking slowly down the gravel road, a small dock appeared in front of them. Opposite the small road is a wrought iron wall and a big tacky iron gate painted with gold lacquer. The sign "Closed today" is hung on the big iron gate. But the small door next to it was open, and two black water guards were standing on either side. A wooden waiting room, painted green, is always full of passengers on the waiting ship at this time. But now there are only a few black water guards staying there. And the steamship was parked aside, soot was rising from the tall chimneys. Obviously, the ship had not stalled, waiting for Scrooge and Dorothea. Like the iron gate, this boat is also very vulgarly decorated. The hull is painted red to boast, and gold paint is painted in many places, especially the two paddle wheels. The paint was golden, but a lot of the golden paint had peeled off, revealing the black primer.

"Haha." Scrooge laughed, "A good boat, just made it this way for him, he knew it was a nouveau riche."

"You are a nouveau riche, and you still laugh at others like this." Dorothea said, "but this boat is really ruined by this paint. You Yankees have no taste!"

"Dorothea, you will marry me soon, and you will soon become a Yankee woman." Scrooge said with a smile.

"Who is going to marry you, you won't be so beautiful!" Dorothea gave him a coquettish look.

At this time, an escort came over and said to Scrooge: "Mr. MacDonald, the boat is ready. Do you want to take a rest and then set off, or set off right away?"

Scrooge glanced at Dorothea, he saw the light beating in her eyes, and he smiled and said, "Go now."

The two got on the boat and sat down on the front deck where the parasol, coffee table and two wicker chairs had been arranged. The waiter immediately came up and poured tea for Scrooge and Dorothea, and set aside refreshments. At this time, the steamboat called "Girl in the Mist" sounded its whistle, and the tacky paddle wheel began to turn slowly, turning the clear river water, raising snow-white waves, and then the boat slowly Leaving the trestle bridge, along the turquoise Colorado River, which looked like a large transparent emerald, drove slowly towards the upstream waterfall.

The first thing that came into their eyes was the United States Waterfall on the United States side.

"It's magnificent!" Dorothea stood up and walked to the bow, and Scrooge followed behind her.

"Canada is more spectacular." Scrooge said.

The boat is getting closer and closer to the waterfall, and the roar of the waterfall is getting louder and louder. Dorothea said something to Scrooge, but Scrooge couldn't hear it anymore.

"What did you say?" Scrooge shouted.

"I said I can get closer?" Dorothea also shouted loudly.

The boat really got closer, and they already needed to look up at the waterfall with their heads up. The waterfall looked like it had fallen directly over their heads. At this time, a gust of wind blew over, the huge waterfall swayed, and a mist of water floated over, covering the entire ship inside.

"Ah!" Dorothea exclaimed, "I'm all wet, what should I do?"

"What are you talking about?" Scrooge deliberately pretended not to hear. It was summer, and there would be nothing to do with a little water, and it would be fun to take the opportunity to tease Dorothea.

"I said my clothes are all wet!" Dorothea shouted.

At this time, the boat leaned in the direction of the waterfall again, and the waves from the waterfall also began to shake the boat. At this time, it was simply not water mist, but water drops from the waterfall that fell like a torrential rain.

"Ah!" Dorothea exclaimed, and plunged into Scrooge's arms, and then she and Scrooge were drenched in soup.

At this time, the boat gradually turned away from the waterfall.

"There is a dressing room on the boat, and the clothes are already prepared." Scrooge said, "and there is more than one set, because after a while, you will get drenched in Saddle Falls."

After happily playing in Niagara for a day, in the evening, Scrooge and Dorothea returned to the hotel. At this time, an assistant handed over a telegram to Scrooge.

"Mr. MacDonald, your telegram."

"Oh." Scrooge took the telegram and was about to open it, only to see Dorothea staring at the telegram with eyes wide open.

"There won't be any big things, we promise to not delay our schedule." Scrooge said with a smile to Dorothea.

Then he opened the telegram. The content is simple: Huagong has arrived in San Francisco.

"What's the matter?" Dorothea asked.

"It's only expected." Scrooge said nonchalantly.

The Central Pacific Railway Company had always hired Irish workers just like the Union Pacific Railway Company. The main reason was that Irish fathers did not kiss their grandfathers and did not care about them. But first, the Central Pacific Railway had to cross the steep Rocky Mountains, and the engineering was very difficult. Second, in the name of prioritizing the needs of the troops, Scrooge restricted the sales of Daliwan, which made the Central Pacific Railway Company. The work efficiency of the Irish workers under his hands is also far less than that of the Irish workers of Scrooge's Union Pacific Railway Company. Now I see the slow progress of own work, but the Union Pacific side has been advancing by leaps and bounds. So the big philanthropist Stanford still did what it did in the original history, and came up with a killer: the introduction of more one-off Chinese workers.
