America’s Big Hero

For some time to come, in addition to building coal mines, Guajira will manage the 400,000 or so people well.

To be honest, they are quite poor, and most of them are living below the subsistence line.

Guajira is close to the Caribbean Sea, and the rich resources of the ocean have not been enjoyed, but disasters such as typhoons have been completely borne!

The typhoon passed, the houses collapsed, and the rainstorm continued. There was no way to develop the planting industry. Some of them were small-scale plantings based on family units. It would be good if they could not starve to death.

In the whole of Guajira, apart from Riohacha, which has a relatively complete education system, in Sean's opinion, in a city that is at most a town, there are elementary and junior high schools, but the literacy rate is appalling.

This place is really poor!

Sean was so poor that he couldn't think of any development strategy for a while.

Not to mention marine fishing, not to mention whether the boat is affordable or not. Without the support of weather satellites, the changeable marine climate in the Caribbean makes it easy for fishing boats to go out and not come back!

In the case of Riohacha, the largest seaside city, offshore fishing is just fine, not far away.

"What about the tax issue?" Xiao Bu raised his mouth, "Especially those residents scattered around the town, mainly engaged in agriculture, the difficulty in collecting taxes is one aspect, the main reason is the cost, and the collection is still not enough. Artificial."

"That has to be charged." Sean said without hesitation: "Tax collection is a display of dominance. Even if you lose money, you have to collect it. At least it must be kept for a long time. Costs cannot be considered."

"Wait until this kind of rule is recognized. By the way, let Kadeep's people follow when collecting taxes. Don't make it so that no one will know it in the end."

After all, Sean shook his head. In 1987, it was the same as it was 300 years ago, and taxes had to be collected manually.

The things here are pretty much explained, Sean is only responsible for the general direction, and the specific matters are still the responsibility of the following team.

Now that the negotiation was over, Sean stopped staying here, took Xiao Bu on the plane, and only flew to Newark.

In a flash, I haven't been back for a long time. The last time I came back, I just took a quick look.

It’s still the small courtyard next to the Newark Umbrella Base. It looks really small now, but as soon as you walk into the courtyard, you suddenly feel very relaxed, um, kind.

Especially when a few women came rushing out, Xiao En was so satisfied!

"Come all, come all!" Sean opened his arms, several women stood in a row, each hugged and kissed.

Well, the life of a rich man is so simple and boring.

In a flash, three days have passed...

...

Sean slumped on the sofa, his eye sockets sunken...

"all gone?"

"All gone!" Norris stood by and bowed his head back.

"Huh!" Sean let out a long breath.

Even an iron man, if thrown in this kind of Shura field, he would be completely drained!

"I'll ask the yoga company to send a trainer over later. I'm getting older, so I really need to keep fit, otherwise, my body won't be able to handle it!" Sean raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, "Oh, yes, we need a male trainer. , don’t get a woman here, my body hasn’t recovered yet, and I’ve been drained by those snake spirits.”

"What happened to Kashima?" Sean finally remembered the business.

"The land reclamation work has been completed, and the soil on the island has been changed again, all of which are black soil obtained from the Mississippi River according to your request, the boss."

Sean nodded, very good.

There are only three big black lands and one red and black land in the whole world!

Here we are talking about large pieces, and those with small areas are not included in the calculation.

They are the Ermaozi Plain in Ermaozi, the Mississippi Plain in the United States, and the Northeast Plain in China.

However, Ermaozi and the black soil of the Mississippi Plain have suffered considerable damage.

Black Storm!

After large-scale felling, there was no forest protection, and the wind and sand rolled up the black soil into the sky, forming a black storm.

At present, only the black soil in the Northeast Plain is the best preserved, and the development time is relatively short.

(PS: By the way, there are black soil sellers on the Internet, some of which are simply marked with HLJ black soil, and they are dug directly there. It is unprecedented to make this money!)

Cough cough, of course, Xiao En didn't care about that, and he directly asked people to transport black soil back from the plains of the Mississippi River, one truck after another, not short of money, and he planned to replace 30 centimeters of the island's surface with black soil.

This is style!

It doesn't have to be one meter deep, it's because I'm an American citizen now!

"Have you arranged for someone to do a comprehensive design for the island?"

"I found four companies, and the design draft has come out, waiting for you to choose from the boss."

"Okay, I'll take a day off. Tomorrow, I'll go directly to the island."

...

Finally, he had a good night's sleep. Fortunately, he continued to eat and supplemented, and Sean finally regained his energy the next day. At least on the surface, there seemed to be no problem.

I took a helicopter to the island, and now the island is full of light. In order to prevent the black soil from being lost by the sea wind, Norris specially asked someone to cover the entire island with mesh.

There is no way, the cost of transporting these black soils is very high, one catty of black soil is more expensive than ten catties of rice!

Otherwise, they still won't sell it.

There are four design drafts, Sean actually thinks which one is very good.

Well, they are all traditional American gardens.

This American style... is very interesting. It is said that the more you lack something, the more you yearn for something. Although the United States is only 200 years old, there must be tradition!

American gardens come from English gardens, and English gardens... come from Song Dynasty gardens. Of course, after hundreds of years of development, they already have their own set of things.

This is not nonsense. Many things in the British style are imitated from ancient China, such as the door knocker on No. 10 Downing Street...

Although Britain and the United States promote poverty, backwardness, and ignorance in the east all day long, they are secretly envious of them, such as Marvel and the ancient master.

Gu Yi is a bald woman in the movie. In fact, she first appeared in the comics in 1961. Her real name is Yao (Yao). She is the supreme mage on earth and the master of Doctor Strange and Baron Modo.

According to normal logic, female Zhao Riyue should call him 'Ming', and the reason why they all call him 'Yao' is because the public is familiar with this title!

Coincidentally, it naturally has a certain place in the hearts of fans.

Closer to home, Sean will not create any Chinese-style gardens in the United States. In the upper class of the United States, anti-China is the mainstream thinking.

The U.S. government is controlled by U.S. capital. The reason why U.S. capital can move across the world and take advantage of it is largely because the United States itself is strong enough.

A real international leading enterprise must be backed by a real big country! !

A small country cannot raise a real international leader, such as Samsung and its ilk, most of the profits have to be handed over to the American consortium.

During World War II, American think tanks reached a consensus that there were only two countries that could pose a threat to the United States, Lao Maozi and the East.

As for Europe, unless integration is completed, there is no way.

This has nothing to do with the vast land and abundant population. Canada, Tuao, and Ah San also have vast land and abundant resources, and Ah San has a large population.

Therefore, Sean will not challenge the entire American high society.

Four design proposals, Sean didn't look at the price.

No matter what money or not, it's nothing more than a trip... Cough cough.

I picked the softest design draft and kept it, and the other three were passed by Sean.

Seeing the complacency of the old opponent, the heads of the three companies couldn't understand why, but they didn't dare to ask Xiao En, so they could only use force against the old opponent.

They had deliberately learned about Sean's character and behavioral logic.

I like battleships, planes and tanks. I like to be strong and have a bad temper when things happen, so the design draft deliberately pursues atmosphere, toughness, and openness. As a result, Sean chose a softer and more delicate one.

This is so illogical!

Sean didn't care what they thought, and asked Norris to send them away. Then he pointed to the design draft and said, "I like the garden style of Chinese culture. While the main style remains the same, I can absorb the essence of this aspect. If you don't understand, you can find it. The Chinese ask for advice, I only look at the finished product."

The matter came to an end here, Xiao En reckoned that the entire island could not be repaired in more than half a year, and the United States only had this efficiency.

After finishing it, Sean flew to Manhattan, got in the car and went straight to Rockefeller Center, got some supplements from the east, and sent them to old man David.

During this period of time, I have been wandering in Southeast Asia. I haven't come back for a long time, and I haven't seen the old man.

Although it seems that Sean's achievements today are all due to himself, and the Rockefeller family has not contributed much, but in fact it is not the case.

If his surname was not Rockefeller, the two policemen would not have been so polite to him on the first day of crossing.

When he started his business, if Sean's surname wasn't Rockefeller, Newark's police chief wouldn't have given him the chance to smash the original Mexican gang.

Don't think that only the east likes to maintain stability, but there is no government that doesn't like stability. Even if it goes downhill, most people don't want to jump out of their comfort zone.

Later, when Sean dominated New Jersey, Mr. Governor also considered that Rockefeller stood behind Sean. Rockefeller was more measured and powerful, so he gave Sean a chance.

Later, when I bought the Black Hawk gunship, did I really think that anyone could equip the Black Hawk with Hellfire anti-tank missiles in the United States! !

That's because the company's major shareholder is the Rockefeller Foundation!

When the umbrella is developing and growing, when buying warships, who wants to buy the rags of the US military?

That is really advanced, how many countries are waving prices hundreds or thousands of times higher than Sean, the U.S. military will not consider it, and it will not be sold if it is blown up!

Or because Sean's surname is Rockefeller!

Huntington, an American political scientist, said in "The Clash of Civilizations and the Reconstruction of World Order": China is not a country, but a civilization masquerading as a country.

This book is relatively early, and it was officially released in 1996.

After the Cold War, the United States regarded the east as the biggest threat, deployed the first island chain, and supported the Japanese army, all the way to Southeast Asia, to encircle it in an all-round way. This is a military, economic ban, political isolation, and economic Invasion.

However, Lao Mei soon discovered a huge problem, the climate was not acclimatized.

For example, eBay, when eBay was playing C2C, it was not a big deal. It occupied 90% of the market share.

There are many similar incidents, and they don't understand that economic negotiations are often not what the company decides, and it doesn't mean that everyone can make money if they want to make money.

They don't understand why so many TV factories were established all over the country at once, dragging down the entire industry and leaving many Americans with nothing to lose.

Many economic theories and sociological theories that were recognized in the West in the old United States are not easy to use in the East. After the Cold War, they hit a wall everywhere. However, economics, sociology and other disciplines in famous universities in the United States are studying this issue. The final conclusion is civilization.

Thus, from November 1995, imported films from the United States officially entered.

China is not a country, but a civilization masquerading as a country.

Many people in the country are proud of this theory...but everyone does not know that this theory was not developed to praise you, but to attack you. Public knowledge has changed from tap water to conscious cultivation, and cultural invasion has begun on a large scale.

Closer to home, the counterpoint to this theory is that America is a corporation masquerading as a country…

And Rockefeller is the company's shareholder, so no one would doubt that Sean Rockefeller would betray his own company, so that he could get so many resources that others were not entitled to.

(PS: In the above explanation, many readers questioned why they hooked up with Rockefeller at the beginning of the article... I can only say that the novel is not nonsense, the adaptation is not nonsense, two openings... ahem, time travel can't violate the basic logic. )

...

"Fifth Grandpa, medicinal wine is made of good things. Drink less every day to prolong your life." Sean placed a large jar of amber medicinal wine on Old David's table.

It's rare that this jar of medicinal wine is not fancy at all, it's just so ordinary.

"What do you want to plot against me, old man!" Old man David squinted at Sean.

"What you said, I'm always sad!" Xiao En had a 'wronged' face, clutching his chest, looking in pain, "I can't be sincere, just because of family affection, without any utilitarian intention once?"

"Really!" Old man David looked Sean up and down, and the corners of his mouth slowly opened.

"That's right, believe it or not!" Sean rolled his eyes.

Old man David believed Sean's appearance, "Then I have to see."

Old man David turned the jar and looked left and right. The stuff inside was strangely shaped, and it looked like there was a snake, which made him look weird.

This snake is not a good thing at first glance, it must be very poisonous, peeking at Xiao En, this kid is not trying to poison me to death! !

"Hey, stinky old man, I'll be impatient if you do this again. Let the laboratory test to see if there is any poison." Sean's face turned dark, and it was rare for him to be kind.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The old man David coughed a few times. It wasn't that he was seriously suspicious, but that in his position, it was inevitable that he couldn't control many things, and the service team around him didn't allow him to eat those with unknown origins. s things.

The old man really made a mistake. The whole service team around him is going to be ruined, but no one is looking after it. Unemployment alone is a big problem.

The old guy lives for a day, and the people in a team are supported by a high salary for a day, that is a really high salary! !

After coaxing Sean to sit down, the old man David deliberately sat next to Sean and chatted about what happened during this period. The old man still mocked Sean quite a bit, but he also made comments.

"In Xingcheng, you only need to reply to the reporter one more time!" Old man David pouted, "If they dare to retaliate against you, you will naturally have to retaliate back."

"If Saudi Arabia wants to retaliate, it will cut off the oil supply. If the food company retaliates, it will definitely cut off the food supply. The bank's retaliation method is to cut off your cash flow. Of course, the military security company is demonstrating military security capabilities!"

"What's wrong with that?"

Sean looked at the old man David quite unexpectedly. He always felt that the old man was very stable, conservative, kind and rich, but he didn't expect the old man to be so radical suddenly, even more irritable than himself.

"Don't be surprised, everything has a bottom line. If I were to face such a provocation that almost killed people, I would do better than you. I would directly provoke chaos in the oil market and drag everyone into the water. !"

"Only when you show your fangs, will the group of vampires know not to provoke you!"

"You kicked the Malays hard in the ass, which can only make a few countries around Southeast Asia fear your force. Those really big companies don't think there is anything to be afraid of. They also have the ability to make the Malays submit. "

"For example, Malaysia is the world's largest producer of palm oil, but the export channel is controlled by ADM. As long as you are willing to pay some price, you can support other countries and make Malaysia lose billions of dollars every year. It is no worse than you. too much."

"In fact, it's not that troublesome. Just releasing the news of stopping the import of Malay palm oil can cause turmoil in the entire domestic palm oil industry chain in Malay and cause huge losses. Afterwards, Malay dare not release a fart."

"This is called a big company, quietly controlling life and death!"

Sean blinked his eyes. Of course, ADM knows that the world's four major grain merchants control the lifeblood of many countries. Sean still owed them a favor because of the Sri Lanka incident.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." The old man David waved his hand, his expression became solemn, "In the past year, most of your business has been abroad, and you have neglected the United States too much. This is your foundation, and you must pay attention to it. .”

"I understand." Sean lowered his head and pondered for a while, then nodded heavily.

Back in Newark, Sean shut himself up at home for a few days and tidied up. In the near future, it is time to bring his attention back to the United States.

Only when the foundation is stable enough, can he roam outside unscrupulously.

...

"Mr. Xiao En, good afternoon!" Speaking in weird English, Takashi Iwashita knelt on the ground with a thump as soon as he entered the door, making three bangs.

Takashi Iwashita, the president of Berthes Company, the company that Sean bought from Benzi, and later transferred to Akina Nakamori, a company specializing in the production of credit card machines and cash registers.

Sean waved, and Nakamori Akina, who came with Takashi Iwashita, took small steps, lowered his head slightly, walked to Sean with a smile on his face and sat down, and took his arm naturally. Laughing, not saying a word.

"Here are the two sets of finished products that I brought over." Seeing Xiao En look over again, Takashi Iwashita immediately got up and opened the two boxes.

One is an all-in-one cash register with a small screen, host and scanner.

One is a separate handheld credit card machine.

Sean picked up the handheld credit card machine and fiddled with it. Yes, it was designed according to his requirements, and it was almost the same as the later generation credit card machines, except that it needed to be connected to a telephone line.

With this thing, Sean's next plan can be implemented.

Well, what a new company!

It's just that it's not enough for this company to only have a credit card machine. Sean thought it was simple before.

...

"The idea is good, very advanced." Monroe Dive played with the credit card machine, and after listening to Sean's vision of the application of the credit card machine in the consumer place, he praised: "When we have a large amount of consumption, we either carry a huge amount of money with us. It is actually inconvenient and unsafe, and merchants are also worried about the authenticity of the check and the problem of cashing it.”

"It would be so convenient to have a credit card machine."

"Genius idea, the only problem is that there are no other cat cakes except that it is not practical." Monroe Deve put down the credit card machine and looked at Sean helplessly, "Yes, very, ahead of time!"

"What is it, it's not practical?!" Sean's expression twisted, the corners of his mouth twitched, you are so blind!

"Yes, there is no way to use it. If you want a credit card machine to complete the deduction with a beep, you need this thing to be able to connect to the internal system of the card issuing bank to check how much money is in the card. This alone cannot be done. , Oh, by the way, after the inquiry, you have to complete the deduction and transfer the money to another separate account, is it the same bank? Inter-bank transfers still use the phone now."

"No bank will open the database for you, and have the authority to operate it. Boss, do you know how dangerous that is? Once something goes wrong, it will be devastating!"

"So, boss, don't even think about it, not even Rockefeller."

Sean: "..."

Blinking and blinking, he was only thinking about the convenience of a beep in his previous life. After hearing about the credit card machine, he immediately became interested, but he forgot that the current credit card machine is only used by the bank and is not open to the public at all.

"No, I remember that VISA has already had the concept of swiping cards!" Sean was puzzled.

"It is for travel and business use, which is equivalent to a separate sub-account opened in each bank. The user's money is a sub-account in this sub-account. It is a different concept from yours, and the place where it is used is also the same. A bank, not any little hamburger joint."

"I still don't believe it, this thing can't be realized!" Sean became angry, "Is our bank starting to use the computer system now?"

Monroe Deeve rolled his eyes, "IBM's server, we have used it for 30 years, otherwise, boss, you don't think we are still copying by hand!!"

"IBM, IBM..." Sean muttered, always feeling that the world was unreal. In 1987, what is the current IBM computer like? What is the system like?

"Okay, let's do this first, you don't need to worry about it, I'll go back and ask a professional!" Sean waved his hand, and Monroe Diff shrugged, got up and walked out.

Sean sat there, squinting his eyes, always feeling as if he had overlooked something important!

Very important, very important.

Very valuable, very valuable!
