1855 United States Tycoon

Scrooge did not intend to hit the British with a big deal with regard to the problem that the British hoped to purchase the related technology for the return of the gun. In fact, this technology is not insurmountable for the British. In the original history, the French were very successful on this issue. They misled the Germans through various means and made the Germans think that the retreat of the gun was repelled by a metal spring, and then the Germans just thought about what to do. I made a good metal spring. Then, um, the difficulty was really great. As a result, until the beginning of World War I, there was no medium-caliber rapid-fire artillery comparable to the 75 Miss.

But this trick Scrooge is useless. Because the French 75 Miss is for personal use, and Scrooge's cross-temporal copy of 75 Miss is a foreign trade product. If the British want to understand its related technology, they only need to find a sample and take a look at it. Nowadays, there are really many users of this type of artillery. The newly independent Panama is preparing for the military and regaining the country's territory. Colombia is looking at Colombia to strengthen its armament and feels very unsafe. So Bolivia has also begun to strengthen its armaments, and even Bolivia. Chile and Argentina both have McDonald's version of the 75 Miss in their hands. And if you count the 1866 type 70 infantry artillery, which also uses the barrel retreat method of the 92 infantry artillery, the spread range is even greater. With the ability of the British to get a sample from these places, it is no effort. Once the idea of ​​the design is understood, it is simply too simple to imitate this thing with the British technology ability, which was absolutely the world's first at the time.

Therefore, if the technology of this thing is sold to the British, it is absolutely impossible to sell it at a high price. Scrooge did not intend to make a fortune from the British. The British have technology and time. Their navy can guarantee that even if they cannot produce enough 75 Miss in a short time, no one can invade. Got the mainland of England. Therefore, it is impossible to negotiate a price with the British. What Scrooge really cared about was that the British not only copied 75 Miss, but also turned their heads around the world. Regardless of the fact that the British have signed a series of things to protect patents, it is God knows how binding this agreement is to the British.

Sure enough, Sir Barkley immediately raised an objection to the requirement that no export is allowed: "Mr. MacDonald, I think I should think about the issue of export again. Because there are some markets, as you know, there is no real issue for all. Merchants are all open. There are some markets. I mean some territories and protectors of the British Empire, as well as some areas within the sphere of influence of the British Empire. According to the treaty we made with them, they can only purchase weapons produced by the United Kingdom. If we can’t sell these types of artillery to these objects, it will also bring a lot of political and military problems. And even if we sell these artillery to them, there will be no problem of squeezing your market, because they simply It is impossible to purchase weapons from your company. Of course, in order to show our sincerity, we can agree not to sell this artillery in other markets."

Barkley said while observing Scrooge's face, however, there was no change in Scrooge's face. So he continued: “Of course, in order to show our sincerity, we can guarantee that the number of new-style tubes deployed in Canada will not exceed one-half of the number of new-style tubes in the hands of the United States Army. In fact, it seems that the United States Army has returned. There is no such artillery. In other words, we will not sell such weapons to Canada for the time being."

"I think your request is too much." Scrooge suddenly sank. "You actually want to sell these weapons to Canada? Do you still want to count Mexico as your protectorate in the next step? And then sell them a batch of this stuff? Such a request is really...the details of these issues, let's leave it to the people below to talk about it in detail."

Obviously Scrooge didn't want to continue discussing this issue. Instead, he and Sir Barkley agreed on a time and place for the two sides to continue to discuss the matter, and he did not continue discussing this topic. But later it is said that Scrooge took his eyes off and the people who sent out to negotiate were not very effective. He was completely led by the nose by the British. As a result, a loophole was left in the contract. Not only did the British use the lease, but the Advanced tube retired guns were leased to Canada, and the British even leased a lot of retired guns to the Mexicans. As a result, some Mexicans even shouted the slogan of regaining lost ground, a shame. Of course, the Mexicans are just yelling, because under their stimulation, the United States Army quickly equipped with retreating guns. The United States Army’s number one enemy, the United States Congress even called out that Mexico is equipped with one door. Regarding the retreat of the artillery, the United States Army will be equipped with five rhetoric, so that during that period of time, if you ask the officers of the United States Army’s artillery unit, who is the cutest person in the world, they will definitely answer : It's a Mexican! We rely on them to change equipment.

Of course, there are some mentally unhealthy and wealthy people who always like to use their own dark psychology to speculate on others. The guy said that the mistake made by Scrooge's subordinates was not a mistake at all, because this mistake made Scrooge turn to the United States army. Sold more tubes and returned the guns and made more money. They also found out that the employee who presided over the negotiation and made mistakes was not actually punished. On the contrary, they later got more opportunities to negotiate on behalf of the McDonald Infantry Arms Company, and their positions and wages increased. That's a lot. Some people even said sourly that "the arms dealers who do not sell weapons against their own motherland are not truly international arms dealers." Don't these people know that Mr. MacDonald Scrooge is a patriotic model that President Lincoln personally commended. How could he do things that are detrimental to the national interests of United States? As for the employee who made mistakes got more opportunities and finally got a promotion. First of all, the employee was not promoted because of a mistake. He was promoted because of other performance and who did not make a mistake. Woolen cloth? Not to mention such unintentional mistakes. Just like Mr. Macdonald Scrooge said, in front of Sacred's God, each of us has committed, and will continue to make mistakes, even crimes. However, our benevolent Father in Heaven will still give us opportunities, and even send his young sons into the world to save us sinners, so that our souls can return to the kingdom of heaven. Shouldn't we give more opportunities to employees who make mistakes like our father did?

After setting a tone for the weapons issue, Scrooge began to understand the intention of Mr. Hill from the Edinburgh Pharmaceutical Factory."That's it, Mr. MacDonald. I heard that you transferred the heroin-related patents and technology to the Germans." Mr. Hill said slowly, "Even, I heard that you connected the heroin trademark. The right to use it was also sold to the Germans. I think you may have considered that the heroin patent is about to expire. Instead of letting everyone do it after it expires, it’s better to take advantage of its patent for two years. Related patents and trademarks are sold. We are also very interested in these two things. Can I talk to you about this business?"

This is simply money delivered to the door. However, Scrooge hesitated slightly as to whether or not to make the sale. This is because when he talked about this business with the Germans, he deliberately tried to cheat the Germans. Scrooge knew that once many companies started to produce this thing, the control of the effective ingredients would definitely go wrong. Then heroin addicts will be all over the world. At that time, well, the related technology of this thing is naturally worthless, because it will definitely be banned. Scrooge planned to take the initiative to reveal the secret of heroin in the near future, um, that is, after the Germans returned all the money owed to him. Well, when the time comes, a press conference will be held to announce to the public that a professor at the University of Cleveland discovered that diacetylmorphine, um, the active ingredient in the drug heroin will be reduced to morphine in the liver of animals. This also means that heroin is definitely addictive and can be used as a drug. After receiving this news, McDonald Chemical and Pharmaceutical Co. immediately repeated the experiment and confirmed the results of the experiment. The company also used high-purity and large-dose diacetylmorphine to conduct animal addiction experiments, which confirmed it. Animals did develop addiction symptoms after extensive use of diacetylmorphine. The reason why there has never been a report of severe heroin dependence before is because the effect of diacetylmorphine is too strong, and the problem can be solved without the addictive concentration. Then I apologized to the society, the patients, and recovered the goods that had been sold at the original price, and then mobilized the media to praise the spirit of admitting mistakes and the pioneering product recall system. Well, then the largest drug dealer in history was naturally washed out. , Will even be washed into a conscientious, a model of correcting mistakes. What? What about Germans who have spent money when fooled? Of course, everything is subject to the contract. Didn't you see that the exemption clause of the contract says "The company is not responsible for losses caused by unforeseen factors"? This situation is now "unpredictable". Not convinced? You flew across the Atlantic to bite me!

What's more, the media now under Scrooge's control has begun to consciously black Germans, such as accusing the Germans of being too greedy and being too harsh on France, such as accusing German soldiers of poor discipline in France and doing nothing, or accusing Germany of being too greedy. People are greedy for the land, they have taken the French territory and forced the French in Alsace and Lorraine to learn German.

Consciously going down like this, even if the Germans are cheated, the people of United States will only think that this is God's will and applaud it. But if you add Britain to the victims, the situation will be different, because the British are not the kind of guys in Germany who really don’t have much to do with Scrooge's business. Scrooge's many profitable businesses are required. To cooperate with the British, at least it is necessary for the British not to make trouble. So, now Scrooge really couldn't ask for the money that was delivered to the door.
