Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The impact of the economic crisis on the United States is all-round. Since there are no alternative types of work, agriculture, mining, logging and other industries in the primary industry are the most severely affected.

Compared with before the outbreak of the economic crisis, in October 1927, the price of agricultural products in the United States dropped by about 60%. About 1.0193 million farmers went bankrupt and became sharecroppers, sharecroppers, farm laborers, and even homeless people without a fixed residence.

In this case, any funds that can be used for agricultural procurement are extremely valuable.

The angel investment company has great powers, and the auction items offered not only include paintings from Europe, but also sculptures, handicrafts, jewelry, and a set of porcelain that is said to have been used by the British royal family. This set of porcelain was eventually sold to Morgan for 150,000

Purchase at USD price.

This price is very interesting. Remember that Morgan invested in Nikola Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Tower for a total of only $150,000.

As a result, Nikola Tesla failed in the competition with Marconi. Morgan did not use his influence to seek justice for Nikola Tesla, but angrily withdrew his capital, which directly led to Nikola Tesla’s

Pull bankruptcy.

The same price is 150,000, which is the price of a set of porcelain at a dinner party.

It can only be said that Americans are very enthusiastic about Britain. No matter what the future holds, at least for now, even if an angel investment company brings the chamber pot used by the British royal family to the United States, it will probably be sold at a good price.

The entire dinner raised a total of 6.5 million US dollars, of which ticket sales reached an unprecedented 1.5 million.

Unexpectedly, this kind of dinner is all ticketed. If you want to have the opportunity to communicate with the US Treasury Secretary in person, you have to spend at least US$1,500.

The US$6.5 million is not much, but not much, and can be used to purchase agricultural products, which can alleviate the economic crisis for many farms.

Mellon and Morgan were embarrassed to ask Marcellus face to face, but the reporters at the press conference after the meeting were not embarrassed. The reporter from Time Magazine directly asked this question to learn about the Phyllis Foundation's plan to use the donations.

.

"The Phyllis Foundation was founded by the distinguished Mrs. Nyasaland. Over the past 20 years, it has raised countless donations and helped countless families. Every year, millions of rands are used for charity. All expenditures will be made later.

Everything is open to the public, and you can check how any donation will be used. We can guarantee that no donor's kindness will be wasted." Michelle responded appropriately. She is now wearing simple and decent business attire, and there is no trace of the dinner party.

Jewelry.

"Madam, what I want to ask is, did the funds raised by the Phyllis Foundation in the United States purchase supplies in the United States or overseas?" Franklin asked thoroughly, not giving Michelle a chance to get away with it.

As I have said many times before, the American media is not as fair and impartial as they claim, and they do not even have the most basic freedom of speech.

The media serves capital. Sometimes in order to attract attention, of course they will ask some sensational questions.

When a question is asked, whether the answer will appear in the newspaper depends on the coordination of the interests of all parties.

"Haha, Franklin, what do you want to ask? I also have a question for you. If you are unemployed and living on the street, and the church happens to be distributing food donated from overseas, will you accept it or not?" Michelle asked Franklin.

Strange, press conference, there are actually some familiar faces coming and going. If you go too far, it will be difficult to mix in this circle. For example, reporters from the "Washington Post" are not eligible to participate in the press conference of angel investment companies.

.

Why?

For some reason, the angel investment firm didn't want reporters from the Washington Post to participate.

Following Michelle's question, sporadic laughter erupted at the press conference. Even at this time, there was still moral kidnapping. It seemed that he was still hungry enough.

"Madam, you haven't answered my question yet." Franklin forced himself to calm down.

"Next question, the second lady in the third row." The host did not give Franklin a chance to continue asking.

"Hello, Ms. Michelle, I am Taylor, a reporter from The Times. What I want to ask is, Southern Africa is also affected by the economic crisis. Why did the foundation come to the United States at this time? Thank you."

Look at people's awareness and the level of questions they ask, giving Michelle plenty of room to play.

"Of course it is for charity. Charity knows no borders. Through the newspapers, the distinguished Mrs. Nyasaland learned about the experiences of ordinary Americans during the economic crisis. The distinguished Mrs. Nyasaland felt the same way. She knew that Americans at this time were enduring

The pain that southern Africans experienced after the Second Boer War was so unforgettable that the noble Lady Nyasaland decided to do her best to help the Americans." Michelle's words received enthusiastic applause from the reporters.

.

Amid enthusiastic applause, Franklin silently shredded his notebook.

At this time, stop pretending to be a liar. Even if you don't say good things about the Phyllis Foundation, you can't slander the Phyllis Foundation in the newspaper, otherwise "Times" will be in trouble.

After the press conference, each reporter received a small gift prepared by the Phyllis Foundation, including a gold-plated gold pen produced by Iteno.

It is said to be a gold pen, but in fact the pen tip is gold-plated, and the price is not that expensive.

The price doesn't matter, the key is the sincerity that makes all reporters feel useful.

Including Franklin.

Who would say no to an unexpected windfall at your fingertips?

Especially in the current economic crisis.

Back at the headquarters of Time Magazine, Franklin worked hard all night to finish the article. The editor-in-chief was still waiting for a report on the Phyllis Charitable Foundation. If appropriate, it would be published in Time Magazine tomorrow.

As a senior reporter, Franklin wrote articles very quickly. Half an hour later, Franklin took the first draft to the editor for review.

The editor-in-chief glanced at ten lines and frowned after reading it.

"Tom, take it back and revise it. You need to increase your praise for the Phyllis Charitable Foundation. During the economic crisis, charity can empower people. We need more Phyllis Foundation." Editor-in-chief Edward was not satisfied with Franklin's first draft.

Very satisfied.

"Come on David, at the press conference just now, Ms. Michelle from the Phyllis Foundation didn't answer my question directly. I have a bad feeling that the Phyllis Foundation may hold the

The funds raised by the United States were used to purchase supplies from Southern Africa at high prices and then transported thousands of miles to the United States. This is how our money was wasted." Franklin was angry. The Americans spent their money to buy things in Southern Africa, and finally gained honors.

They were southern Africans, which made Franklin very uncomfortable.

"What do you want to say?" Edward's expression turned cold, slightly annoyed.

"What I want to say is that the Phyllis Foundation is using money raised from the United States to invite names, and we spent money," Franklin said indignantly.

"Wait a minute, as far as I know, you didn't spend a penny, and you also got a small gift from the Phyllis Foundation for nothing." Edward shook his head speechlessly. This is too much of a sense of ownership. You can easily take advantage of the United States.

It’s not like the President is the Secretary of State. I didn’t even notice that the Secretary of Finance didn’t say anything.

"But that's our American money," Franklin argued.

"Wake up, Tom, have you burned out your brain? Strictly speaking, the money from the Phyllis Foundation is the money of the rich and does not belong to the poor in the United States. The Phyllis Foundation does not take money from the pockets of the rich for nothing.

, using pieces of art in exchange, no matter where the Phyllis Foundation purchases supplies, the final beneficiaries are the poor people on the street!" Edward is sharp, and Franklin is good at everything, but sometimes his head is not so clear.

"Let me tell you a story. About 500 BC, the king of the Lu State in the East issued an order that if a Lu people found a Lu person being used as a slave in a foreign country, they could spend money to redeem them and then ask the king for reimbursement; a Lu

The Chinese discovered a man from Lu who was regarded as a hard-working man abroad. After spending money to redeem it, in order to show his nobility, he did not ask the king for reimbursement. Do you think he did the right thing?" Edward is knowledgeable, no wonder he is the editor-in-chief.

"Wait a minute, you made up this story, right?" Franklin decisively went off topic.

"Wonima" Edward gritted his teeth, how did this person's brain become a reporter.

"I think he did the right thing. It is his obligation to redeem people. If he is rich, there is no need to ask the king for reimbursement." Franklin got back on the right track in time.

"Ha, this man's teacher was very disappointed when he found out and told him that from now on, the people of Lu will no longer redeem their compatriots who have become slaves." Edward smiled faintly. This means that he can be the editor-in-chief, and Franklin can only be

Journalist reasons.

"Why?" Franklin's mind has not yet turned around.

"Because other people don't want to be fools, this fool kidnapped all the people of Lu. Whenever you want to criticize people, just remember that not all people in this world have had the superior conditions you have.

." Edward was good at combining Chinese and Western styles. "The Great Gatsby" was published in 1925 and became popular all over the United States as soon as it was published.

Franklin was silent. He already understood what Edward meant. No matter where the Phyllis Foundation purchased supplies, it was the poor Americans who ultimately benefited.

So don't worry about some minutiae. Nothing is perfect in this world. Over-interpretation will only lead to fewer and fewer organizations like the Phyllis Foundation. In the end, the American poor will suffer the most.

After all, there are not many charitable organizations that can make wealthy people willing to spend money.

Returning to his seat, Franklin read the first draft carefully, then shook his head and sighed, tore the first draft into pieces and threw it into the trash can. He took out the draft paper and prepared to write a new article.

Another half hour later, Franklin completed the modification and presented it to Edward again.

"Great, that's it, leave it to William to publish tomorrow." Edward was very satisfied with Franklin's work this time.

ps: Please give me monthly tickets. I want to get 1,000 monthly tickets in 15 days, and then I will have some operating funds next month.
