1855 United States Tycoon

"John, you know, although our family's situation may be a little more affluent than yours, after all, my father and my Dage are making money in our family. However, 40 dollars is not a small number for us. Me. I don’t have so much money, so I can only ask my parents for help. I don’t know how much money they can give, but I will try my best to convince them. But, John, you have to tell me first if you take With this money, after completing the business school study, how do you plan to repay this money?” said Shi Gaozhi.

"Scrooge, you have really changed a lot. You actually think about so many questions. When you and I were so old, I couldn't think about so many things." John Rockefeller said, "If I want to be myself in the future If the boss starts a company, he must find you as a partner. I have already investigated, and now there are many new companies, and other staff are relatively easy to find. However, the staff who can keep accounts are relatively insufficient, so if I am done In the business school, finding a job is not a big problem. At present, a person who has mastered basic accounting skills can generally get a monthly salary ranging from 5 to 6 US dollars in the first year. I spend no more than two dollars a month, so it only takes more than a year for me to pay off my debts."

"Sounds good." Scrooge said, "I think I was convinced by you. I will convince my parents..."

At this time, the middle school has appeared not far in front of them. The two walked into the school gate and walked all the way to the classroom of Scrooge's class. John Rockefeller gave Scrooge the schoolbag that Scrooge had been carrying on his back: "Okay, here it is. Oh, yes, this For the time being, I haven't told anyone about the matter, so please keep it secret for me..."

Scrooge nodded and walked into the classroom. There are already some people in the classroom at this time, but the teacher hasn't come yet. As soon as Scrooge came in, the classroom immediately became lively.

"Hey, Scrooge! I heard that you stupid fell from a tree?" a boy with some red freckles on his nose yelled first.

"Scrooge, it seems that your leather is really strong!" A light-haired boy stretched out his hand, pinched Scrooge's face, and said, "Look, it's thick!"

"Stop it, Tom!" A little boy stood up. "Even the patients are bullied. It's really nothing!"

The light-haired child named Tom looked at the little man, curled his mouth, and said, "Carter, you really don't understand a bit of humor. I'm just joking with Scrooge, not malicious. "

"You are bullying Scrooge for treatment!" the little man named Carter said coldly, "and you, Roma, you are the same, you are also a worthless thing bullying patients!"

"I don't care about a guy who doesn't have a sense of humor like you!" The child with freckles on his nose also sat down angrily.

The little man looked at Scrooge again and said, "Scrooge, I heard that you broke your head and you can't remember some things. Is that right?"

"Yes." Scrooge replied.

"Then do you remember where you were sitting? Do you remember our name?" Carter continued.

Scrooge shook his head.

"Don't remember anything?" Carter shook his head. "Do you remember how to do those damn math problems?"

"I should remember this." Considering that there is no damn Olympian in this era. So for doing the middle school math problems of this era, Scrooge is still very confident.

"That's great!" Carter smiled, "Hurry up and make up for what you haven't learned. The final exam in a month will be up to you! Okay, brothers, now, I will give each of you three minutes. , Introduce ourselves to our Scrooge. Well, let’s start with me!"

"My name is Carter, and I have a strange disease, that is, I don't feel pain." Carter began to introduce himself, "My greatest strength is that I am strong and can fight. Except for sports, my scores in all subjects are not very good, at most. It’s just passing the pass. After a long time with me, I’ve known that I’m a very good person to deal with."

After Carter finished introducing himself, he looked around the classroom and said, "Tom, then you!"

"Well, my name is Tom, in fact, we are old friends. I like to joke around sometimes, but everyone knows that I have no intentions. Well, the final exam is up to you!"

"Jessica, then you..."

"My name is Jessica, and my dad is..."

Maybe there were not many people studying at that time. Although people continued to come one after another, the total number of classmates was not very large. So this self-introduction ended just before the class.

The first class is the mathematics that the original Scrooge was best at. As expected, the middle school mathematics of this era is really very simple compared to the current Scrooge. It is so simple that Scrooge can directly report the answer with just a glance. Such a class will inevitably be distracted. Scrooge puts one hand on his cheek and makes the appearance of looking at the blackboard, but in his heart he begins to figure out his future path.

"The Civil War seems to be about to break out? If you remember it well, it seems that it should have happened around 1861. War is definitely a good opportunity to make a fortune. Think about the ways you can make a fortune? First of all, it is speculation. I remember correctly, isn’t Morgan’s first ill-gotten wealth made by reselling gold during the Civil War? But... forget it. Unlike Morgan, I’m the first to know what kind of social background I have. All kinds of inside information, go to Wall Street to play speculation, I am afraid that I don’t know how it died. It is still reliable from the industry...

...Oil should be a good business. At the beginning of the Civil War, there was no agriculture in the South. There was no lamp oil for lighting in the city. All ships were used in warfare, and whaling ships were no exception. So the whale blubber used as lubricating oil was gone. Almost all of these have to be solved by the exploitation and refining of oil. Rockefeller relied on this to make his fortune. He hugged his thigh tightly and should be able to get a little light. However, Rockefeller...It seems that what he is best at in history is to kick his partners out of the company, right? Even if you are a traverser, it is hard to guarantee that there will not be such a day... Or just make weapons! Before I crossed, I worked as an engineer in North Industries Corporation. Although my main research project before I crossed seems a bit too advanced in the current era, I am still very familiar with guns and other things. As a sideline to cheat foreigners, what? Bolt-action sniper rifles, pump-action shotguns, various automatic rifles, machine guns, as well as various counterfeit versions of automatic pistols and revolvers, I am quite familiar with it, as long as I have the first start-up capital, It’s not impossible to copy these things, just don’t know the level of materials in this era, but considering that it won’t take long, it seems that in 1866, the Germans created the Mauser rifle, completing the modern rifle to the modern age. The rifle's crossed. In this way, even if it is difficult to make an automatic rifle, it is still possible to build an old Mauser gun. Well, even the old Mauser 1871 is better than the muskets used by the United States in the Civil War. Too much...

However, it seems that the breech has been rejected by some old-fashioned people. I remember that in Europe, a big man even declared that he would rather lose the war than use the "unman" weapon like the breech. Of course, it may also be the collection of these old antiques. The money from the merchants who made the musket. If it is the latter, I am in United States, I am afraid that I will encounter this problem. If you don’t solve it, you won’t be able to use the war effectively to make money...or else, after this thing is made, sell it to the southerners first. As long as the southerners can use these things to beat the North Koreans, the North will definitely do it. Buying it in a large amount, what is there to say? ‘Do not sell weapons to fight against own country’s arms dealers are not real arms dealers’? Well, we must first let the Yankees shed enough blood, and then let the Southerners shed more blood, and then there will be a chance..."

"Scrooge, you are here to answer this question... Scrooge! Scrooge! What are you doing!" Just when Scrooge was thinking fiercely, a voice rang in his ear.Mathematics teacher Rodriguez was standing next to Scrooge. In fact, because Scrooge had been staring at the blackboard, Mr. Rodriguez could not immediately notice that Scrooge was distracted. He made a note on the blackboard. After a slightly difficult question, I randomly ordered a few students, but they were all stupidly unable to answer, so Mr. Rodriguez habitually called Scrooge's name. With this call, Mr. Rodriguez discovered that Scrooge was distracted.

"Ah, I, I'm thinking about it." Scrooge was startled.

Mr. Rodriguez’s attitude has become more gentle, because he knows that Scrooge’s head has just dropped. It seems that there is a memory problem, and there are so many missing classes. Such a topic may not be what he can do. Answer it immediately. His anger just now was actually just a habitual gesture-facing those little bastards, not habitually posing an angry look, it was impossible to suppress those guys.

"Oh, Scrooge, do you understand today's content?" Mr. Rodriguez said gently.

"Well, it's okay," Scrooge said.

"Will the question on the blackboard be done?"

"Ah, the question on the blackboard?" Scrooge hurriedly glanced at the blackboard. On the blackboard was a very common word problem about speed, distance, and time. It would only be difficult for the higher grades of elementary school in the future.

"One hour and 15 minutes." Scrooge got the answer almost instantly, but instead of saying the answer, he shook his head-now, he didn't want to be too special.

"Well, it's nothing, Scrooge, after all, you are missing a lot of classes. Sit down and listen carefully." Teacher Rodriguez said.

The class on the first day passed smoothly. Unlike the average traverser, Scrooge acted very mediocre and did not do anything to stun his friends. Because Scrooge knew that it was boring. The own stage was not here. It was only five and a half years since the Civil War. He didn't have much time to waste in such a school. Maybe he should drop out of school and start a business like Rockefeller.
