1855 United States Tycoon

Hill first suddenly threw the backpack onto the roof of the train. A hairy hand stretched out on it and grabbed the backpack. Then the backpack disappeared from Hill's sight.

"Hey, give me a hand!" Hill yelled, and then he took a step backwards, then rushed towards the wagon, jumped up, kicked the wagon with his foot, and jumped up, he His left hand grabbed the edge of the car roof, and his right hand stretched out, grabbing the other hand. With that hand hard, Hill was pulled up.

"Thank you, James." Hill sat down on the big own backpack, saying that this big backpack was still popular during the Alaska gold rush. Soon the people of United States discovered its benefits, not only did it wear more, Compared with other bags, it is easier to carry. So now people who travel far away basically carry this thing on their backs. Of course, for such low-technology items, copycat goods are naturally everywhere, so in a hundred of these backpacks, there may not be an authentic McDonald's Infantry Weapon Company. Poor people like Xiang Hill can't afford the genuine products of McDonald's Infantry Weapons Company, um, his bag is a copycat.

"Oh, finally came up. Damn, it's so hard to get a seat now." Hill complained, "We built this railway, but now it's so difficult to take a car."

"Stop complaining! If it wasn't for my quick brains, you wouldn't even have this position. Here, we can still sit." James, who looks like a gorilla, replied, "Look, how many people are there? I want to get on this bus." He looked down at the ticket he had in his hand, "Standing ticket? I'm pooh, there must be one person in the car, no matter who it is, then I will be born to a gorilla, our family It's all gorillas!"

Hill also lowered his head and looked around: more people gathered around the train, and many people had already begun to climb on the roof.

"In a short while, the roof will be full of people." James said.

At this time, he suddenly saw someone lifting a child and stuffing him in through the window.

"James, look, a kid has entered the carriage." Hill immediately laughed unkindly.

James: "Damn...a child is not a person, but... a toy!"

At this time, people were already sitting around them, and after they were seated, they began to chat indiscriminately.

"Hey, brother! Borrow fire." A man sat down next to James and said to James.

James took out a lighter, well, this is also one of the inventions of the MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company. He moved his fingers gently, and with a crisp sound of "ding", the head of the lighter was opened, and then there was another bang, and a yellow flame burst out.

The man leaned on the flame and lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and sent another cigarette to James and Hill, and then said, "Brother, did you go to Alaska for gold?"

"How do you know?" James asked.

"Isn't going to Alaska, who would buy a genuine Zippo lighter like this? I also had one like this, but it was later stolen." The man took another breath.

James also lit himself a cigarette, took a sip, and said, "Man, you also panned for gold in Alaska? Did you find anything?"

"Will you squeeze a train like this when you find it? I have seen people scouring for gold, but unfortunately it's not own."

"It's not a pity, many of them really got gold, and in the end they didn't even come back from Alaska alive. It's the ones who collect protection money that made a fortune." James said.

There were still some people who could not get on the bus at this time, but even there was no place on the roof. Some people just waited honestly for the next trip. Anyway, the station ticket or something. If there is a third-class bus, then Can run up. If you go to the refund office to refund the ticket, you will be charged a five-cent handling fee per ticket. Some people even more simply grabbed the edge of the window and hung it outside. Anyway, the weather is also hot now, and it won’t be frozen when hanging outside.

...

"Since the Pacific Railroad was opened to traffic, a large number of people and materials that were originally to be transported by the Panama Isthmus Railway and Cape Horn have begun to be transported through this railway. Our railway is already quite busy, compared to the railways to the east. In other words, the number of trains running on the average distance on our railway has surpassed them. Coupled with the tax concessions provided by the federal government and local governments, this railway is now giving us a steady stream of money. However, this is far from our maximum capacity. The railway capacity is now a little more than 60%. Our railway has not been operating at full capacity, otherwise, it will be more profitable. In addition, materials and personnel The speed of arrival and departure has become bottleneck. So we can't use more capacity, because the arrival of goods and people from cities that are not directly connected to our railway will also be restricted by traffic conditions. We still More branch lines are needed to send the people and goods on the trains running on our railway to those nearby cities along the way.” In an interview on the radio broadcast, Scrooge was drunk on the operation of the railway after it was opened. Such an introduction.

"What do you mean is that now, the construction of the railway branch line related to the Pacific Railway will become the new action plan of the Pacific Railway Company?" the famous financial program host Boll asked.

"Yes, we already have a plan to build a series of railways around the Pacific Railway in the future. We also welcome other more investors to join the construction of the railway, the vast western development Inseparable from the railway, with the railway, the resources of the western region will be quickly transformed into endless wealth." Shi Gaozhi replied.

"So, do you think it would be a good business to invest in railways now?" Boll asked, following Scrooge's intention.

"Yes, this is definitely a good business. Moreover, whether it is industry, agriculture or commerce, their development is inseparable from transportation, um, so the railway is definitely a project that is no better." Scrooge Said with a smile.

"Then why did Mr. MacDonald say it? Instead of being silent, do all the benefits take up? Are you not afraid of others robbing you of business?"

"This business is not made by me alone, and anyone who invests in it will also make the business of the Pacific Railway, which I have a stake in, better. The development of United States requires everyone to make money and make a fortune, like me Those who have made a fortune first have an obligation to drive those who have not made a fortune. Get rich first and then get rich, and everyone will get rich together. This is my philosophy. After all, hello everyone is really good." Replied.

"'Get rich first leads to get rich', this sentence is really good. Mr. MacDonald, you are really not the conscience of United States. Thank you for taking the time to accept our interview in your busy schedule..."

I have to say that Scrooge has a very high appeal in investment and management, and, well, Scrooge has a very good reputation. Generally speaking, he does not speak nonsense. If it is Morgan that makes money for the railway, everyone will be careful, but if Scrooge said, well, even in the eyes of those investment veterans, the reliability is very high....

Dorothea still couldn't see the pregnancy at all, but her clothes were obviously different from before. In the past, Dorothea would always try to tie her waist very thin, and for this reason she sometimes even made herself dizzy when she moved a little. Well, in this era, a major feature of women's attire is the long skirt with waist. This kind of long skirt does make women look graceful, but it can also make blood flow poor and difficult to breathe. When many people watch movies that reflect the early days of the West, it is easy for some Western women to fall into a coma and often find it very strange, but in fact, this is nothing unusual, it's just their skirts.

Now that she is pregnant with a child, Dorothea can no longer wear such a long dress. She is wearing a loose lavender dress, sitting leisurely on the sofa, watching Scrooge sit there and criticize all kinds of things. document. Suddenly she felt that such a life was actually good.

Scrooge put down the papers in his hand and stood up. He has been working for a long time and needs activities and rests. Moreover, Dorothea has been sitting aside and watching him work for a long time. The doctor has ordered that although pregnant women cannot do strenuous activities, necessary exercises, such as taking a walk, are still indispensable. So Scrooge walked up to Dorothea and said to her, "Let's go out and walk together."

"Yeah." Dorothea nodded, took Scrooge's hand, carefully stood up, and the two walked into the garden together. At this time, the sea breeze was blowing from a distance, gently swaying the purple flowers of wisteria, and blowing its fragrance into the noses of two people. The two went hand in hand. Dorothea felt as if she hadn't walked side by side with Scrooge hand in hand in a long time.

"Sit under the bench over there," Dorothea said.

"Yeah." Scrooge and Dorothea walked over and sat down under the wisteria shelf.

"Scrooge," Dorothea said.

"what?"

Dorothea opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to say such a sentence: "Is the business situation on the railway side okay?" She didn't know how she could say such a sentence, honestly. Yes, this is not what she wants to say. Of course, she is not very clear about what she wants to say. It's just that, when she opens her mouth, she just talks about business, which makes her feel that it is not very good, but what should we talk about if we don't talk about business?

"Very well, and many more people have begun to invest in railways. European capital is eager to try. I dare say that as long as our quarterly report has been released, they will rush like crazy." Zhi didn't feel anything wrong, but replied enthusiastically.
