1855 United States Tycoon

"That woman is really capable." Morgan looked at the intelligence in his hand, thinking like this. Because he had known such a conspiracy against Scrooge for a long time, Morgan naturally wanted his people to stare at this woman. Morgan did not want to directly participate in this woman's actions. Because although Scrooge's Black Water or something seems to have not noticed this conspiracy, once those guys start to act, regardless of success or failure, the MacDonald Consortium will definitely retaliate. Even if Scrooge died, the Macdonald Consortium was destined to be destroyed with it, but the counterattack of this behemoth when it was dying was definitely not something that any force could easily withstand now.

But Morgan is still very much looking forward to the actions of these guys. Once they are really successful, as long as they have not become a direct target of the dying McDonald Consortium, when the McDonald Consortium crashes to the ground, Morgan is sure that no one in the United States can be more than him. A big benefit.

Of course, to grasp the opportunity well, you must have a certain understanding of the actions of those guys. So after deliberately mentioning Stanford to the woman, Morgan made people stare at Stanford. Soon he learned that the woman was visiting Stanford, and then he learned that the man who visited Stanford with that woman had become "The Courier" reporter, and began to interview news about the middle-level training class of the Macdonald Consortium.

"The middle-level training courses of the Macdonald Consortium are not open to reporters during the training, and only employees can participate. Similarly, when Scrooge addressed all the students, no reporters could interview. And even Scrooge By changing the rules, it is impossible for local media of the level of "The Courier" to be eligible for interviews. Therefore, if they want to use this opportunity to initiate an assassination operation, it is estimated that they can only buy middle-level training course students. Um, what methods will they use to buy that student as an assassin? And what methods will they use to assassinate?" Morgan thought with interest.

"The possibility of a pistol is unlikely." Morgan thought, "The first is because it is easy to be detected when you bring a pistol in, and the second is that it requires a certain skill to attack with a pistol. If the distance is a little farther, those inexperienced guys will Can shoot bullets to the Atlantic Ocean. But the most important point is that the employees who are bought will never be willing to engage in suicide attacks. Even if they succeed, they will never escape. So the pistol can basically be ruled out. So what else can I use? Ah, that woman belongs to the DuPont family. Wasn't the DuPont family bombed into the sky? A timed explosive device may be a more reasonable choice. But to use such a thing, it is still There are a lot of problems..."

But this kind of specific technology details is not something Morgan needs to care too much about, so he just thought about it for a while and didn't continue to study it.

...

"How's the contact with that Arnold?" Avery asked.

"I know something about his family. He doesn't have a wife yet, so naturally he has no children. His mother is said to have been dead for several years. Daddy, it seems that he ran away with other women earlier— —This is really a messy dog-blood drama. I asked him to follow him, only to find that Arnold is probably not the ambitious guy you imagined. Although he doesn't have a wife, he has a good friend." Bronte said.

"A good friend?" Avery asked, "What kind of person is it?"

"A prostitute who got sick and couldn't even do business. But Arnold seemed completely fascinated by this bitch. This kid's Life is very simple, and all the money is used to treat that bitch. However, those diseases are hard to cure, especially now that sulfa is less and less effective, and that bitch is getting more and more sick." Brontë said."I didn't expect such a bloody thing in reality." Avery snorted coldly.

"Avery, this man needs money very much. And we can also control that woman and coerce him to kill us." Brontë said.

"Are you sure he won't sell us? That woman is really that important to him?" Avery asked.

"I don't think so. He has been raising that woman and treating her for more than three years. If all his money is spent, we know that caring for a woman with this type of disease is very troublesome and even dangerous. Yes. If you don’t do it well, you’ll take yourself in. If you can look after that woman for several years, the position of this woman in his heart should not be comparable. I think, as long as we control that woman on the one hand, the other On the one hand, using money to tempt him, he will most likely agree to work for us."

"Listening to you, it's worth a try. But don't show up. I will arrange for others to talk to him. You continue to observe his every move as a reporter." Avery said.

...

After finishing the day's work, Arnold left the company and went back to his home in the slum alone. With Arnold's salary income, there was no need to live in such a place. But it cost too much money to treat Lisa. And when I met Lisa, her illness was already too serious, and sulfa drugs had almost no effect on her illness. In fact, even in later generations, syphilis, especially late syphilis, is very difficult to cure. Before antibiotics, there were no effective drugs for advanced syphilis in this world.

Arnold returned to the own hut and immediately started to make a fire and eat. There were two servings of food, one was brown bread for own, the other was bread with a small piece of butter for Lisa, and a cup. milk. After eating the own share in two bites of three, and then packed Lisa's share, Arnold went out.

Lisa is now staying in a charity hospital. After all, thanks to Scrooge's gift, the conditions in the current hospital, including the so-called charity hospital, have improved. In any case, the conditions of San Francisco's charity hospitals are still not as good as those of ordinary hospitals. It's just that the charges of ordinary hospitals are not something Arnold can afford.

Arnold has made an agreement with the hospital. He donated a lump sum to the hospital. When he was studying in Cleveland, the hospital promised to take care of Lisa. After the study is over, he will probably be able to get a better position with more salaries, and then he will be able to send Lisa to a place with better conditions. Although, no matter how good the condition is, most of it will not be able to cure the disease.

Unexpectedly, when Arnold came to the hospital, he found that Lisa was missing.

"An hour ago, two people came over and said they were relatives of Lisa, so they took her away." Although Arnold's eyes were flushed with anxiety, the nurse looked indifferent.

"Where did Lisa's relatives come from? Lisa has no relatives at all!" Arnold was a little anxious.

"We are not a police station. How can we verify the identity of someone? Besides, when the two people took away the other person, didn't she have no objection?"

Arnold almost wanted to hit the nurse's face harshly. Lisa is a tertiary syphilis. The germs have begun to invade the nervous system. So at this time Lisa has already developed symptoms of dementia. How can she tell who it is and how can she oppose it?

"Did those people say anything else?" Arnold suppressed own and asked angrily.

"No. Nothing." The nurse replied.

...

It was almost midnight that Arnold returned home desperately. The door was not locked, he pushed it slightly, and the door opened. Arnold locked the door before he left, but Arnold, who was desperate now, didn't notice this. It wasn't until he walked into the house that he realized that there were still two people in the house.

"You are?" Arnold said in amazement.

"Do you want to know the whereabouts of Lisa?" a man said.

"You? You put her?"

"She is very good, as to whether it will be better in the future, it depends on your performance" another person said.

At this time Arnold also calmed down. He knew that Lisa must have fallen into the hands of these people. And the reason these people want to control Lisa is definitely to use her to blackmail themselves. It's just that I'm just a small employee with no money and no power. These people find out why they are.

...

"That Arnold won and cooperated with us?"

"Yes, Miss." Bronte said.

"Very good," Avery said. "Leave a few people to keep staring at him. Let's go to Chicago, gather the information and preparations on the hands of the brothers over there, and discuss the final plan. ."

"I don't know how the technology group is preparing." Brontë said.

"There shouldn't be any problems. Isn't it just a time bomb?"

...

Cleveland, McDonald Consortium Staff Training Center, Auditorium.

Several workers are demolishing the gate of the auditorium.

"Hey, George, what are you doing to remove the gate?" a passing employee asked George, the worker who was removing the gate.

"How do I know?" George said. "Anyway, let's do it as we ask."

"I heard it was because the customized podium was too wide to be taken in from the door." Someone interrupted.

"So big?"

"Of course, I heard it was specially made of Brazilian mahogany. The entire table top is a large piece of wood, which is said to be more than a foot and a half thick. I have seen it from a distance and it is very beautiful. It is said to be prepared for MacDonald. It was used by Mr. Na when he came to speak. For me to say, it's great to have money!"
